No Manila Bay Reclamation
City Council Takes First Step To Repeal Ordinance 8233

By JENNY F. MANONGDO
The city council of Manila passed on first reading a petition calling for the enactment of an ordinance banning reclamation along Manila Bay, stretching from the US Embassy to the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) in Pasay City. Lawyer Galahad Pe Benito, who represents a group of residents of the City of Manila, filed the petition seeking the prohibition of reclamation of all forms along Manila Bay, in Manila saying that it will worsen the flood problem in the city.

Local News Abolish SK Bills Deemed Urgent

By ELLSON A. QUISMORIO
Sunday, July 7, 2013
Western Samar 1st District Rep. Mel Senen Sarmiento expects the 16th Congress to exercise urgency in discussing
House Bills calling for the abolition of the controversial national youth council or Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) once sessions start. I think it will be prioritized, but there will be debates. We cant avoid it especially if there are members of Congress who have relatives in the SK, Sarmiento told the Manila Bulletin yesterday. Sarmiento, reelected to his second term in the House of Representatives last May, gave this statement in reaction to his colleagues growing preference for purging the youth council which has been described by some as a breeding ground for corruption and political dynasty. Sharing this sentiment was Caloocan City 2nd District Rep. Egay Erice, who recently filed a measure (House Bill 1122) seeking an amendment to Republic Act 7160 (Local Government Code) that would abolish the SK. Several other lawmakers also expressed their intention to re-file similar bills in the 16th Congress even as these measures failed to prosper in the previous congress. Fo r h i s p a r t , Sarmiento said that he wants to see SK shelved since its inherent politics only distracts youngsters from their rightful priority school. Im supporting it. Right now, the focus should be on education. We need to reduce the dropout rate. Currently we have K-to-12 and were improving our curriculum... were trying to prepare our kids as our future labor force, he said. Sarmiento said the sentiment among some of his fellow solons is that the SK has not been able to serve its purpose. And whether we like it or not, they (SK officials) become partisan. After all, SK officials are elected and have political alliances, he said. Sarmiento also stressed that the SK isnt the only venue for cultivating leadership among the countrys youth. In school there are so many organizations you can join (to develop leadership). Theres also the student council. And then there are the monetary considerations. As per the Local Government Code, 10 percent of total annual internal revenue allotment (IRA) of the barangay automatically goes to the SK. This translates to almost P5 billion when all of the countrys 42,000 barangays are taken into account.

The QCPD chief said the abduction, initially thought as plain carnapping, took place at around 5:30 a.m. Friday in front of the Commonwealth Hospital at the corner of Regalado and Commonwealth Avenues in Barangay Greater Lagro, Quezon City. The sisters were being taken to their school by their male driver aboard a Mitsubishi Adventure, when their vehicles side mirror got smashed after being sideswiped by a white Mitsubishi Montero with license plate number ZAM 847. When the driver got out to accost the occupants of the Montero, three armed men got out and commandeered the Adventure with the sisters inside. The Montero followed. After some hours, the suspects called up the family of the sisters and demanded ransom.

In addition, the reclamation of Manila Bay will deprive us of a place where we can freely enjoy the view of the sunset as well as the sea, a letter signed by a group of residents stated in a separate letter sent to the council. Benito also submitted some 1,000 signatures of the Manila residents who are opposing the proposed financial district that will rise in the new reclaimed area that is supposed to cater to tourists onboard cruise ships. In the letter, the residents also voiced their discontent over Ordinance No. 8233 passed by the previous city council allowing the reclamation of Manila Bay. The residents said certain reclamation contracts have already been entered into by the city with private entities. These contracts and ordinance were adopted and entered into without extensive public hearings allowing a careful and intensive study of the reclamation of Manila Bay... We are therefore petitioning the honorable city council to enact a new ordinance that will ban reclamation activities along Manila Bay and repeal ordinance No. 8233 which allows the reclamation of Manila Bay, the residents said. The council referred the petition to the Environmental Protection and Ecological Preservation Committee.

Alcaraz On Way To PH
By ELENA L. ABEN
The Navys second Hamilton-class cutter, BRP Ramon Alcaraz (PF-16), is now on its way to the country. It is expected to be in the country by first week of August and in commission by September. Before starting its three-week journey to the Philippines, the vessel docked at the San Diego Naval Base in California where Concepcion D. Alcaraz, widow of World War II hero Commodore Ramon Alcaraz, boarded the namesake ship of her husband. Mrs. Alcaraz was accompanied by daughter Ramona Alcaraz, and granddaughter Hailey Marshall during the tour aboard the BRP Alcaraz. She also signed copies of MRS Alcaraz, a Biography and Commodore Alcaraz: First Victim of President Marcos during her familys visit to the ship last July 2. A day earlier (July 1), Philippine Consul General Maria Hellen De La Vega and the Filipino-American community in California also visited the BRP Alcaraz. On Saturday morning, the 378-foot long cutter embarked on its maiden voyage to the Philippines, with brief stops in Guam and Hawaii. Formerly known as USCGC Dallas (WHEC-716), BRP Ramon Alcaraz was acquired by the Philippines from the US under the Department of Defenses (DOD) Foreign Military Sales program for P400 million ($9.26 million) in May 22, 2012. Capt. Ernesto O. Baldovino, BRP Alcarazs first commanding officer, said the acquisition of the cutter is a part of the long-term modernization plan of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). The acquisition of the ship is seen to bolster the Philippine Navys capability in protecting the nations maritime interests. This purchase is mutually beneficial for both governments and shows the sincerity of the US government and the Philippine government to uphold the provisions of the mutual defense treaty signed between the
two governments, he said. Baldovino further said, From a tactical standpoint, being a former United States ship, the systems are compatible with those of the US Navy and will add to our interoperability with the US Navy and Coast Guard. US authorities said members of the US Coast Guard are also aboard BRP Alcaraz to help train members of the Philippine Navy to use the systems onboard, train the Philippine Navy in what to expect while serving aboard the ship and help prepare the crew for
working together with the Coast Guard and the Navy on future missions.
Palace Vows To Look Into Drug Claims

Malacaang said yesterday it will look into the allegations made by Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) agent Jonathan Morales that PDEA has not been going after big time drug syndicates. Well look into these allegations, Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte assured. Valte also said the Palace is not aware of any threat to Morales life. Morales alleged that the PDEA leadership under Director General Arturo Cacdac and Deputy Director Rene Orbe has been reluctant to go after top drug syndicates and dismantle illegal drug laboratories. Reports, however, revealed that Cacdacs response was that Morales was only getting back at the agency because he was allegedly slapped with extortion charges last year. Meanwhile, Valte said the Philippine governments appeal for drug mules who are facing death sentence is intended to commute their sentence to life imprisonment. Administration lawmakers had urged Malacaang to implement a hands-off policy on drug mules convicted to death in other countries. Yung pag-apela lagi ng pamahalaan is only to spare their life. Hindi natin sinasabing i-overturn natin yung verdict, hindi natin sinasabing sila ay walang sala dahil nirerespeto natin yung sistema, yung judicial process ng ibang bansa [The governments appeal is only to spare their life. We are not saying that the verdict should be overturned or that they are innocent because we respect the judicial process of other countries], Valte said. It will be recalled that a 35-year-old Filipina rug mule was executed last week in China.

Authorities have been relentless in their search using all available assets to find the downed aircraft and its two pilots, Maj. Jonathan Ybaez and 1Lt.

But the Joint Task Force Bronco, created to oversee the search, rescue, and retrieval efforts for the ill-fated aircraft and its pilots, said even the remotely-operated vehicle (ROV) brought in to help in locating the OV-10 main frame has so far yielded negative results.

New Agency To Run After Smugglers, Gun Runners Proposed

By CHARISSA M. LUCI
A Mindanaoan lawmaker sought yesterday the creation of an interagency law enforcement body that would run after cigarette and alcohol smugglers, and gun runners as well as violators of sin tax reform and firearms and ammunition regulation laws. Davao City Rep. Karlo Alexei Nograles said the Philippines should also establish its own agency similar to Washingtons Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to ensure the full blown implementation of the newly signed Republic Act 10591 or the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act and Republic Act No. 10351, or the sin tax reform law. These two historic laws might need a especially focused team of law enforcers just like the ATF in the US. The organization and set-up can be made similar with the Philippine Drug Enforcement Authority (PDEA) but the focus would be to run after cigarette and alcohol smugglers and other violations to RA 10351 and conduct operations against loose firearms and gun runners, he said in a statement. While he does not doubt the capacity of the Bureau of Customs (BOC) to address smuggling, Nograles cited the need to create another body that would stop the sale of smuggled goods. He said the government should also run after gunrunning syndicates and launch a crackdown against loose firearms and private armed groups (PAGs), citing the very limited enforcement capabilities of the Philippine National Police (PNP)-Firearms and Explosives Division (FED). FED lacks the manpower and there is a potential conflict of interest because of their frequent dealings with gun shops and other groups that are in the firearms business, albeit legally, Nograles said. He said the PNP should intensify its efforts to fight against loose firearms and motorcycle-riding criminals amid its successful campaign against gun ban violators during the election period. This trend only shows that gun ban or not, armed criminals will not be deterred by any law or by any checkpoint to commit crime. What we need is a law enforcement agency that would put an end to the continuing proliferation of unlicensed firearms which lawless elements use to carry out criminal activities, Nograles said. For example, did the police know that guns including unlicensed ones are being sold like laptops and cellphones over the Internet? There is also no control on the proliferation of ammunition and gun parts which can be actually used to tamper with the guns ballistics report, he added.

Catholic prelates said Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II deserve to be canonized as saints due to their great contribution to the Church and the whole world. They deserve to be canonized for their great achievements for the whole world, Sorsogon Bishop Arturo Bastes said in an interview. Basilan Bishop Martin Jumoad said both deserve sainthood for they have made the Catholic Church relevant to the present times and through Gods grace brought many people closer to God. Pope John XXIII prepared the faithful for changes in the Church and Pope John Paul II implemented many things to make the Catholic Church relevant to the present time, he said. Former Caloocan Bishop Deogracias Iniguez also welcomed the announcement of the upcoming canonization of the two, saying their canonization is a seal of their holiness. Lipa Archbishop Ramon Arguelles, for his part, said the canonization of the two saintly popes speaks well of the relevance of the Second Vatican Council.
Palace Respects US Travel Advisory

Malacaang yesterday said it respects the right of the US government to issue a travel advisory in the southern part of the country. Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte, however, stressed that the travel advisory does not mean that the US government is advising their citizens against travelling to the Philippines as a whole. We respect the rights of other countries to warn their citizens, to issue precautionary measures to their citizens who may be travelling here, Valte said. Also, lets clarify that the advisory was not intended for travel in the entire Philippines, she said. Mag-ingat tayo sa ating pagbanggit dahil hindi naman yung buong bansa yung pinatutungkulan, meron lang mga areas na inidentify doon [Let us be mindful of pronouncements because it does not mention the country as a whole but only certain areas were identified], Valte said. She said even the Philippine government issues a travel advisory in areas where its citizens need to be extra cautious, citing its warning to Filipinos based in Egypt, where the political and security situation is still unstable.

VATICAN CITY (AFP) Pope Francis will on Monday travel to an Italian island in the middle of the Mediterranean that has become a gateway for African economic migrants and refugees entering Europe in perilous crossings on rickety boats. Lampedusa island has seen tens of thousands of arrivals since the start of the Arab Spring revolts in 2011, many of them leaving behind African homelands and taking to overcrowded fishing trawlers and rubber dinghies. Hundreds have drowned in the process and the head of the Roman Catholic Church will honor them by casting a wreath into the sea in their memory, before taking a boat to the

same pier where many of the migrants first set foot on dry land again. A group of recent arrivals will meet the pope there. ''The pope is going there to cry for the dead,'' his secretary, Alfred Xuereb, told reporters this week. ''His presence is a signal that in the North there are rich people who waste, while in the South there are those who leave everything behind,'' he said. The Catholic Church has often been a strong advocate for migrants and has called for their rights to be better protected by host countries, as well as providing food aid and shelter through its charities. The pope has said he does not want to be accompanied by any politicians, with the Vatican turning down a request from Interior Minister Angelino Alfano, on what will be his first visit outside Rome since his election in March. Francis is also expected to pay homage to the local population of 6,000 souls, a quiet fishing community that has been overwhelmed by the arrivals but has shown a constant readiness to help those in need. The pope will be given a small crucifix made by a local artist with wood from the boats on which the migrants arrive, which lie abandoned on the island. ''Christ is on the island in those who arrive but also in the local population that welcomes them,'' Cardinal Antonio Maria Veglio, head of the Pontifical Council for Migrants, wrote in the Vatican's official daily. The tiny island of Lampedusa, measuring 20 square kilometres (7.8 square miles), is a popular summer destination and once housed a US Coast Guard base during the Cold War now used to house migrants. The rocky outcrop is closer to North Africa than to the Italian mainland and is on the same latitude as central Tunisia, a proximity that has meant historical ties going back centuries and cooperation in fishing. The migrant centre on the island is often criticised by campaigners for being overcrowded and unsanitary, while many unaccompanied minors are stuck on the island for months as they await suitable housing. Within days of their arrival, adults

are transferred from Lampedusa to migrant detention centres on the mainland to be deported or to refugee centres if they file asylum claims in line with Italian laws. The pope's visit will send ''a strong signal'' to governments about immigration, Veglio said. The cardinal said the places where migrants and refugees are held and the way they are treated ''should be questioned'' and called for full rights on ''freedom of movement and freedom to work'' in host countries. Italian parliament speaker Laura Boldrini, a former United Nations official working on refugee issues in Rome who has visited Lampedusa many times during her career, said the visit was ''historic''.
Immigration Reform Red Tape Seen

LOS ANGELES (AFP) A new system that would require all US employers to check if job applicants are authorized to work risks being a bureaucratic nightmare for immigrants and US citizens alike, critics said. The E-Verify system, included in a comprehensive immigration reform package passed by the US Senate last month, draws on official databases to decide if an individual has the right to work in the United States. The reform package which must still be approved by the House of Representatives calls for the US-Mexico border fence to be bolstered, creates a path to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants, and requires E-Verify, currently an optional system, to be used nationally. Pro-immigrant groups said they are willing to agree to E-Verify as part of an overall reform package. But, they emphasized, the system stands to be improved. ''The problem is that the government databases on which the system relies have a lot of errors within them,'' Joshua Stehlik, a workers' rights attorney with the Los Angeles-based National Immigration Law Center, told AFP . ''Those errors particularly impact non-US citizen workers, as well as female workers and workers who have nontraditional last names,'' he added. At the moment, E-Verify is used in some 20 US states and by seven percent of employers (about 411,000). Under the proposed reform, all firms would have to use E-Verify within four years of it becoming law. When an employer uses the system, an applicant's details are sent for verification to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Of the 20.2 million people who went through the system last year, 1.09 percent were barred from working. Another 0.26 percent were initially turned only, only to be cleared after appeal, according to official DHS figures. The 0.26 percent error rate amounts to 52,520 people wrongly classified as unfit for work. Those tens of thousands of US workers must ''face a daunting bureaucracy and contest the decision before making a living again,'' said the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The mistakes risk costing a job opportunity for the applicant involved, whether immigrant or nonimmigrant, Brent Wilkes of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) told AFP . ''Employers are kind of lazy, and if they are interviewing 20 people, and one of them comes up with a hit saying that he's not eligible, they'll just say well, let's not bother to call for a second interview,'' he said. If E-Verify becomes obligatory, that same 0.26 percent error rate, over all 52 million new jobs filled each year (based on 2012 figures), would equate to 135,200 people having to get through a bureaucratic maze to prove they can work. A spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) insisted it can handle the expansion of the system, adding that the proportion of mistakes ''has been declining over time.''

Leaker Gets 2 Asylum Offers

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) The quest by NSA leaker Edward Snowden for a safe haven has taken a turn toward Latin America, with offers for asylum coming from the leftist presidents of Nicaragua and Venezuela. But there were no immediate signs that efforts were under way to bring him to either nation after Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela and Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua made their offers during separate speeches in their home countries Friday. The offers came one day after leftist South American leaders gathered to denounce the rerouting of Bolivian President Evo Morales' plane over Europe amid reports that the fugitive American was aboard. Snowden, who is being sought by the United States, has asked for asylum in more than 20 countries, including Nicaragua and Venezuela. Many another nations have turned him down. As head of state, the government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela decided to offer humanitarian asylum to the young American Edward Snowden so that he can live in the homeland'' of independence leader Simon Bolivar and the late President Hugo Chavez without persecution from the empire,'' Maduro said, referring to the United States. Maduro said several other Latin American governments have also expressed their intention of taking a similar stance by offering asylum for the cause of dignity.'' Chavez, who handpicked Maduro as his successor, often engaged in similar defiance, criticizing US-style capitalism and policies. In a 2006 speech to the UN General Assembly of world leaders, Chavez called President George W. Bush the devil, saying the podium reeked of sulfur after the US president's address. He also accused Washington of plotting against him, expelled several diplomats and drug-enforcement agents and threatened to stop sending oil to the US.

JULY IS NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH

VERY year, in the month of July, the Philippines observes National Nutrition Month, pursuant to Presidential Decree 49, the Nutrition Act of the Philippines, signed on June 25, 1974. The National Nutrition Council (NNC) leads the nationwide launching of the 39th observance of National Nutrition Month on July 1, 2013, with the theme Gutom at Malnutrisyon, Sama-sama Nating Wakasan. The 2013 National Nutrition Month celebration seeks to raise awareness on issues and actions to mitigate hunger and malnutrition; encourage people, nongovernment agencies, the private sector, civil society groups, and communities to address the issues, and advocate for stronger political action. The Department of Education (DepEd) and NNC are urging all schools to participate in the celebration by undertaking activities that will highlight the importance of good health and nutrition. Various activities have been lined up throughout the country for the monthlong celebration, including planting of vegetables and fruit-growing trees at schools, day care centers, communities, hospitals, parks, and residences; forums, lectures, and seminars; contests, concerts,

OUR AGE: TYRANNY OF SEEING

By FR. ROLANDO V. DE LA ROSA, O.P.
Experience teaches us that no man or woman, be he or she a President or multi-billionaire, can SINGLE-HANDEDLY bring progress to a nation. The job of nation-building demands that every citizen, no matter what his/her status in life is, must do his/her share. FVR, On Empowering t h e Fi l i p i n o People (Manila Bulletin, 29 July 2012)
Reflections Today
THE MISSION OF THE 72

LUKE 9:51-62
HE above quote is a year old yet its message in terms of people empowerment is timeless. Its relevance never ends, just like nation-building itself. In the government bureaucracy, soon after the end of the fiscal year, all agencies not just the big departments but also the smaller bureaus within them and the independent commissions, authorities, and offices undergo a mandatory exercise called the Program Review and Analysis (PRA). This month, were at that time again. The main objectives of this periodic performance-assessment are obvious: (1) to select what key programs/ projects can be justifiably trumpeted by the President when he delivers his July SONA; (2) to determine what programs were unfulfilled, or just partially fulfilled and WHY??; and (3) to fine-tune the incoming years proposed national budget so that it can be submitted by the President to Congress before the end of August or earlier as mandated by the Constitution. With the newly elected officials now in place in the 16th Congress and LGUs, Malacaang is deeply involved in this critical periodic review over government operations. And, public attention is being focused on the forthcoming State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Aquino III, (his fourth) to be delivered before a Joint Session of Congress at the Batasang Pambansa on 22 July 2013. Asias Next Rising Tiger Economy? In last Sundays column, we quoted the World Banks projection made last February, 2013, that The Philippines Is Asias Next Rising Tiger Economy. This prognostication has heartened and uplifted the spirits of many Pinoys, particularly those in search of decent, stable jobs here at home commensurate to their individual potentials. A lot of Filipinos, however notably the more needy ones if asked to comment on the World Banks assessment, would more likely answer

HE Lord appointed seventy[two] others whom He sent ahead of Him in pairs to every town and place He intended to visit. He said to them, The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest. Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves. Carry no money bag,
no sack, no sandals; and greet no one along the way. Into whatever house you enter, first say, Peace to this household. If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will
return to you. Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is offered to you, for the laborer deserves his payment. Do not move about from one house to another. Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you, cure the sick in it and say to them, The kingdom of God is at hand for you. Whatever town you
The View From Rizal
TOWN PLAZAS
By DR. JUN A. YNARES, M.D.
EFORE Facebook, there was the town plaza. This was the insight expressed by a 50-plus-year-old friend who visited me this week. He was among my first callers after I formally assumed my new role as mayor of Antipolo, Rizal. The town plaza was the social medium, he added as we looked at the park beside the Antipolo City Hall.
What do you mean? I asked. I dont recall hanging out in a town plaza when I was going through my adolescent years. I could not, at that moment, appreciate my elder friends nostalgic sentiment over local town squares.
You see, he began, the plaza then was where people came to catch up with friends, probably even to meet new ones. When a visitor to the town comes, his local hosts would bring him to the town plaza to meet the locals, he continued. The plaza was also where towns held the annual liga , the annual

More Vital Than Ever

ROTESTS erupted across several parts of the world in recent months, often resulting in violence and social unrest. In late May, thousands flocked to the Taksim Gezi Park in Istanbul, Turkey, to block government-sponsored initiatives to redevelop the historic landmark into a pedestrianized complex with a shopping mall and luxury apartments.
Many took to the streets of Brazils major cities, sparked initially by anger from a proposed 10-centavo hike in bus and subway fares. A few weeks later, the demonstrations quickly became the sounding board for widespread dissat-
isfaction with persistent corruption, low-quality education, inadequate healthcare, and what many Brazilians perceive as excessive spending for hosting the 2014 World Cup. Chilean authorities recently clashed anew with demonstrators, as the clamor for educational reform continued in the run-up to their presidential elections set for November

AUTOMATED ELECTIONS
By FORMER SENATOR ATTY. RENE ESPINA
AST Fridays Manila Bulletin front page states that 2 More Groups Charge 17 Polls Execs. The story is: Two more groups filed yesterday graft and corruption charges against 17 former and present officials of the Comelec, as well as officers of Smartmatic, the foreign supplier of the Precinct Optical Scan (PCOS Machines) used in the 2010 and 2013 national and local elections. Charged
were Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes, Commisioners Robert Lim, Lucenito Tagle, Elias Yu s o p h , a n d Grace Padaca, former Comelec Chairman Jose Melo, former Commisioners Nicodemo Ferrer, Armando Velasco, and
Gregorio Larrazabal. Also included in the charge sheet were Henrietta de Villa, head of the technical working group of the Random Manual Audit, as well as former and present officials of Smartmatic, namely Cesar Flores, Antonio Mugica, Jose Marie Antunez, Juan Villa Jr., Salvador Aque, and Nilo Cruz. The charges filed by Tangulang
ILMS and television have made seeing more important than listening. Ours is a generation of avid watchers, not attentive listeners. We are obsessed with moving pictures and easily bored with mere words. We are content with being mere spectators, not active participants. In Genesis 2:9-17, Adam and Eves fall from grace happened because they focused more on what they saw (the tree was pleasant to the sight) than on what they had heard from God (you shall not eat of that tree.) Jesus himself encouraged hearing, not seeing. To the doubting Thomas who refused to believe unless he saw the resurrected Christ, Jesus said: Because you have seen me, you now believe; blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe. (John 20:29). St. Paul wrote: Faith comes from hearing the Word of God. (Romans 10:17) One supreme model of a listening Christian is the Blessed Virgin Mary. When the angel Gabriel announced to her: Rejoice, full of grace, the Lord is with you! St. Luke described Mary as being troubled by the angels words. (Lk:1:26-38). As an excellent listener Mary was troubled because she was paying attention not only to what Gabriel said. She knew that the Angel was not telling her everything. Indeed, the angel did not tell her about the terrible pain, the sorrow and extreme suffering entailed by being the mother of Jesus. The angel did not tell her that she would risk being stoned to death for conceiving a child while still unmarried to Joseph, that she would give birth in a manger, that she had to flee to Egypt to escape from Herods wrath, that she had to see her son mercilessly flogged, jeered at, crowned with thorns, and crucified on the cross. So, when Mary said yes to the angel, she was actually declaring: Although there are many things that you did not tell me, I believe that Gods plan is always for the best. Let it be done to me according to your word. Marys listening attitude reminds me of Edith Piaf s Non je ne regrette rien which is No. 5 among the Worlds Top Songs. In that song, she defiantly declared her YES to everything that had happened in her life. She suffered, and paid dearly for all her mistakes, but in the end, she would say, I dont regret anything that has happened to me because every day, my life begins with YOU, and you are the

basketball tournament where we competed and imagined that we were the local versions of Bobby Jaworski, Jun Papa, or Danny Florencio, he added. It was also where people sat on benches to play chess or dama, or simply to engage in banter or catch up with the latest social gossip, he related, with nostalgia clearly reflected in his eyes. Just like here in Antipolo, plazas usually straddle between the munisipyo and the local Catholic church, my friend explained. It was inevitably where people discussed politics and religion and with a lot of passion, he added. I agree, I said, that really sounds much like Facebook. Yes, my friend answered. Depending on your social skills, you also got added or un-friend-ed, at the plaza, he said with a chuckle. Unfortunately, most town plazas in the country today are dead, my friend said with a hint of sadness in his voice. Well, what killed it? I asked, turning very curious. Malls, for one, he answered. Most people now prefer to hangout at the air-conditioned environs of these superstructures, he explained. Anything wrong with the shift in the social venue? I asked. None, except that the nature
and quality of the social interaction changed radically, my friend answered. At the town plaza, people then engaged actively, purposively, he explained. They did not really just hang out they deliberately met, he added. Also, theres social media now, he continued. It is convenient - and safe in the physical sense, my friend added. His mention of the word safe got me thinking. I asked him, Are you saying town plazas today are no longer safe? Possibly, probably, he answered. He has a point. I am told that, in many instances, shadowy characters loiter town plazas especially in the evening. They can be drug pushers or other versions of criminal characters. Plazas are also sometimes suspected to be venues for the conduct of underground flesh trade. It would be a pity if Antipolos plaza would die by similar causes, my friend said. I will make sure it wont, I answered, realizing that a major cleanup of this popular spot needs to happen immediately. Antipolo has two faces: the new face featuring its new residential villages and clusters of business establishments; and, the old face where its rich social, political and religious heritage is preserved.
The old and the new faces converge at the plaza, that piece of land which bridges the city hall with the famous Cathedral of the Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage. Like many other spots in Antipolo which used to be frequented by visitors and pilgrims, the Plaza clamors for a clean-up so it can be what it used to be a social medium. It is also where visitors and pilgrims stand after praying at the Cathedral to scan the environs and recall what Antipolo used to be. For many, it is hard to re-create in their minds the festive, friendly atmosphere of what was once the true Pilgrimage Capital of the Philippines. The city can regain that stature and prestige. It can be done. The task needs political will, many say. I can only agree. But theres one more thing needed the collective will of the people of the city. The lack of will may have led to the sad state of Antipolos many attractions. The presence of a collective will can remedy that.

one I love. This sentiment echoes Marys: Let everything that the Angel said and did not say happen to me because, if the Lord whom I love is with me, then every day my life begins with Him.
In our age tyrannized by films and television that emphasize SEEING, religion can easily be distorted into hero worship, Christianity into a fans club, and the Christian message into a slogan that promises too much but delivers too little.

in this vein: Really?? How Come?? No Kidding?? When?? From this corner, we do hope Malacaangs promise of inclusive growth and sustainable development will indeed materialize, and that ongoing territorial disputes, Mindanao violence, NPA ambuscades, and resurgent organized crime will be mitigated, resolved, and/or could somehow achieve closure in order that enduring peace and stability may finally ensue. Yes, the President is the Father of the Nation yet, he is not the only one capable of making Filipino lives better. To attain such a precious aspiration, P .Noy has been elected to lead the nation and, over time, is seen as the one responsible for the countrys rise or fall. The Filipino citizenry expects President Aquino III to provide the vision and leadership along the straight path (Daang Matuwid) and, hopefully, with enough acceleration (na may Arangkada) where the nation should go. There is also the assumption that the larger Filipino family of 99 million people could substantially contribute to the rebuilding of the nation if there is Unity of Purpose; Solidarity in Values; and Teamwork in NationBuilding. It is on lifting up the lives of our absolutely poor but willing-to-work families where we as a nation should concentrate our scarce resources. This means that we must truly empower ordinary Filipinos and give each one a stake in our countrys fortunes. The World Isnt Standing Still So far, President Aquinos major long-term welfare commitment is to the conditional-cash-transfers in order to keep potential dropouts in school through school-feeding and cash-forlearning schemes that have proved successful in Latin America. Over these next 10-15 years, we should increase social spending with a bias in favor of our poorest regions until at least their health, education, and infrastructure levels approximate those of the average region. Only with structural reforms focused on narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor can we attain real inclusive growth. And, certainly, the world wont be standing still while we scramble to improve our conditions. We need to be alert to global game-changers that could adversely affect our economy and national security one way or the other. For instance, currency wars whose offshoot may be to bring down the twin pillars of our economy continue to threaten the remittances from our overseas workers and the BPO industry. Another trend could be positive for the Philippines ASEAN, our Southeast Asian grouping of 600
million people, will become one unified economic community by 2015. This could prove beneficial in many ways, particularly in the free trading of commodities and manufactured goods. If we have not yet done so, now is the time to think strategically on how to position ourselves smartly in the new economic and security environment. High Points Surely, the Aquino III Administration deserves to be credited with outstanding high points achieved during the past 3 years in pursuit of the Filipino dream of a better future. These are summarized by two major dailies: A Climate Of Confidence, Starweek, Philippine Star, 30 June The historic enactment into law of important measures like the K+12 Education System, Reproductive Health and Sin Tax as well as the enrollment of more people in health insurance and in the CCT program, and signing of the Bangsamoro Framework Agreement Moving Forward In Next Three Years, Manila Bulletin, 30 June Revival of the economy which grew 7.8% in Q1 2013, despite the uncertain global economic climate There are, of course, many other significant gains, especially in fighting corruption and the maintenance of sound macro-economic fundamentals. Low Points On the other hand, many essentials still need to be done while P .Noy might already be running out of time because of bureaucratic gridlocks, inadequate infrastructure, and lack of competitiveness in relation to our vigorous Southeast Asian neighbors. Some telling inadequacies are: FDI Inflows Increasing But Still Too Small, Manila Times, 27 June. Quoting the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), foreign direct investments into the Philippines went up by 54% last year. However, the 2012 FDI record of inputs shows our relative underperformance, as follows: Singapore $57.0 billion. Indonesia 19.8 billion. Malaysia 10.0 billion. Thailand 8.6 billion. Vietnam 8.6 billion. Philippines 2.8 billion. Myanmar 2.2 billion. No Room For Smugness, Philippine Star, 28 June. Our country has a skilled workforce and rich natural resources. What is lacking is the political resolve to implement reforms, mainly because the changes will hurt vested political interests. Comparative Advantage Of The Pilipinas Brand President Aquino must do more
than just preside over his three remaining years of governance by mobilizing our peoples patriotism and civic spirit of bayanihan to confront our dynastic politics.. He must steer us all toward an overriding national purpose to offer our people the vision of a better Filipino future, a goal for which we should all work together. In this endeavor, our far-from-perfect democracy branded Pilipinas could have a significant advantage. We Filipinos may still be trying to catch up with our vigorous neighbors in longterm economic growth and technological proficiency but we are probably ahead of them in one component of modernization. Recall our non-violent People Power Revolution at EDSA in February, 1986. Pilipinas has become the worldwide model of peaceful regime change that influenced the breakup of the powerful USSR, the downfall of dictadores in Latin America, and lately, the civil wars collectively called the Arab Spring. What was the motive force behind all these recent uprisings? People Power, no less. In comparison, our earlier Pilipinas People Power based on peaceful transition and the rule of law in 1986 was non-violent and even joyful! Ditto in 2001. History has made our Filipino political culture a bulwark against tyranny and oppression. And, while democratic freedom does not by itself bring about progress, it does provide the enduring foundation for the good society were trying to build for ourselves and for those who come after us. We must begin to realize that the most beneficial and sturdiest kind of representative governance is the one that citizens win for themselves. We must therefore continue to harness the energies, enthusiasm, and entrepreneurial spirit of everyone in our national quest for enduring peace and sustainable, inclusive development. Summing Up: Were All Stakeholders Over the past ten years, these death-dealing issues have remained unresolved and constitute ticking bombs that threaten our better future: 1. Mass poverty due to overpopulation in our urban communities, rising prices, and the deepening rich-poor gap. 2. Environmental abuse resulting in less potable water, reduced food production, degraded natural resources, persistent agrarian conflicts, and massive flooding. 3. Reputation for official corruption and bureaucratic red tape leading to higher costs. 4. Unlevel playing field favoring dynasties, monopolists, and oligarchs.
death penalty could have scared her. This is especially true since three Filipinos had been executed for the same offence last March 30, 2011. Also, she should have thought that China does not grant commutation of penalty or, being an atheistic country, shows little or no compassion. This is exacerbated by the ongoing acerbic relations over the territorial claims in the South China Sea. *** This should serve as a trenchant lesson and timely WARNING for countrymen whore trying to make a fast buck by ser ving as dr ug mules, or any crime for that matter. To paraphrase the Lords words, |What does it profit one if he gains the whole world but suffers the loss of his life. This is not to mention the shame the offender causes on his family and friends. *** BY THE WAY its reported by the Chinese court that the Filipina drug mule had been doing this for 16 times since 2008. Even Jesus Christ in his infinite mercy warns us that we should not repeat doing a sin; in short, reform. *** For instance, after curing the paralyzed man near the pool of Bethesda, Jesus said, Dont sin again, otherwise something worse will happen to you. (Jn 5:14). To the woman charged with adultery whom Jesus saved from execu-
tion by stoning, Jesus told her, Go and sin no more. (Jn 8:11). *** SHUN DANGEROUS OCCASIONS. Theres a story about an employer who was looking for a good driver. He asked one applicant how far he would go to a place which is near a precipice. The answer was, I could drive as far as three meters away. *** Then he asked another applicant, who boastfully answered, I could go as near as one meter away. The third was asked the same question and his reply was: I would stay away as far as possible from the precipice. The employer hired the third applicant. *** Lesson: When there is danger of committing a sin or crime, one should not to be afraid to be a coward. The Bible says, He who loves danger will perish in it (Sirach 3:25). *** THANKS & GOD BLESS the latest donors to our Adopt a Seminarian scholarship program: Zeny Zamora; Jeanette Bautista; Marie Rose Navarro; Honorata Malonzo; Sony-Leticia Moreno; Vicky Campomanes; Thelma Navarrez; Center Line Engineering; Renato Viray. *** We earnestly request others to chip in or sponsor a seminarians schooling for a year.

this year. Since the Chilean Winter of 2011, student groups were at the forefront of ongoing mass mobilizations, although fishermen had recently joined the fray amid delays in bonus payments which the Chilean government had promised to deliver promptly. These protests emerged spontaneously, spreading quickly without any structure, organization, or leadership. They mark widespread disdain for the status quo among many youth today, but also represent the role social media can play in spurring mass action. Many analysts consider these events unique, noting that in contrast to the Arab Spring, the nations where these recent uprisings took place were all economically successful. For instance, the GDP of Turkey has more than doubled in the last decade, while massive social reforms have enabled Brazil to lift millions out of poverty and create a vibrant middle class. Chiles position as the worlds foremost producer of copper has made it an attractive destination for investment and venture capital. The recent experiences of these nations show that contrary to common notions, economic prosperity does not always result in political stability. But what is clear to me is that governments should heed the

In many ways, the Philippines has a lot of reasons to celebrate, as our economy continues to exceed expectations. It grew an astounding 7.8 percent in the first quarter of this year to overtake our ASEAN neighbors, even powerhouse China. With such stunning growth, inflation remains fairly manageable. Another credit rating upgrade is looming on account of optimism about Filipino capital markets. And, the countrys competitiveness index, as measured in the recent 2013 World Competitiveness Yearbook, has climbed five notches. Tourism arrivals have steadily increased, keeping the country on track with its 2013 goal of attracting 5.5 million visitors. These are only some of the economic gains which PNoy should be lauded for. These positive assets can be leveraged to draw in more investment and create more opportunities for job creation. These glowing gains are our solid stepping stones in the building of a prosperous society. But our leaders must remain focused and alert. National Statistical Coordinating Board (NSCB) figures show that poverty incidence has stood unchanged since 2006. A recent Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey suggested that around 11.1 million Filipinos are still jobless, despite the countrys strong macroeconomic fundamentals. That the jobless have shown no restiveness should not be construed as contentment, nor their silence misread as the absence of any brewing sense of outrage. This is something our new set of elected leaders should consider, as they begin to assume their positions this month. They must learn how to anticipate any sign of unrest and proactively engage their constituents in finding the solutions to their biggest problems.

SOLVENT BOYS IN RIZAL WARNED
ANTIPOLO CITY Your days are numbered. This is the message being sent out by the police and the City Social Welfare Department (CSWD) to so-called solvent boys in the streets of this city under the new administration of Mayor Casimiro Junjun Ynares, III. Supt. Emmanuel Placido, chief of police here, said the police and the CSWD now have a strong resolve to keep children and teenagers off the streets especially in the wee hours of night. Particular targets of this joint operation are Sumulong Park, the city plaza beside the Shrine of the Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage. (Nel B. Andrade)
REAL, Quezon Former illegal loggers and kaingeros, who burned forests to convert them into farmlands, have turned from natures destroyers into its protectors by becoming operators of river rafting for tourism in Barangay Tanauan, this town. Tanauan Barangay Chairman Ramil Resplandor is now even seek-
ing the assistance of the Quezon Provincial Tourism Office (PTO) to promote river rafting. PTO Staffer Kendi Glorioso said the newfound livelihood of former loggers in the area may just be the right tourism attraction for more visitors to come. Resplandor said a total of 37 kaingeros and illegal loggers, so far, have shifted to being boatmen after undergoing training in life-saving
and rescue techniques and river and forest protection. Called themselves balsaheros (persons operating the raft), these former enemies of the forest have reconciled with nature, said the village chief. After calling them to undergo a series of trainings with focus on environmental awareness and protection, we are now also addressing their livelihood opportunity claim,
he said. Resplandor said the uniqueness of the raft made out of bamboo and old tires is also seen by the PTO as a selling point for the new trade since it may stoke curiosity among tourists to try the experience of riding it. Likewise, the set-off point for rafting is a place that can be reached after a 30-minute to 60-minute trek, which adds to the adventure sought by nature-lovers.

ILOILO CITY, Iloilo An in-depth investigation regarding allegations that immigration officers in Iloilo City are extorting money from a group of South Koreans is being pushed. Theres a need to investigate if such allegations are true or not, said Atty. Helen Catalbas, regional director of Department of Tourism (DOT-6). These allegations can be very damaging to Iloilo City as well as the Western Visayas region as a whole, she stressed. The regional tourism chief has not formally received information about the alleged extortion; the issue has only come to her attention because of reports concerning the matter recently. Such reports allege that workers in the Bureau of Immigration (BI)Iloilo City District Office have charged a group of South Koreans who wanted to extend the validity of their Philippine visas as much as triple the regular fee. The South Koreans reportedly left Iloilo City in disgust. According to DOT-6 data, South Koreans rank number one in terms of foreign visitors in the entire region. Theyre also number one in terms of visitors to Iloilo City, Catalbas said. She said that if such allegations are true, the BI-Iloilo City District Office hierarchy must take the necessary sanctions against the erring BI workers and put an end to this notorious scheme. However, if the allegations are not true, there must be a public announcement regarding this she said. If the allegation is false, the Western Visayas tourism chief said not only would it be unfair for immigration officials, but also for the image of Iloilo City.
Mayor Pledges End To Corruption

ILOILO CITY, Iloilo (PNA) Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog has made a pledge to work tirelessly in eradicating corruption and extortion in the city government. He told City Hall department heads and employees and visitors after he was installed as re-elected Iloilo City mayor that we should move forward non-stop. However, I cannot make things work out on my own alone. With your cooperation, we can make it. He particularly put on notice lazy city hall employees and fixers providing assistance for a fee to those transacting business at the Iloilo City Hall that he will be going after them. We shall not tolerate laziness, discourtesy and red tape, and we shall continue the fight against fixers, Mabilog said. The reelected city mayor said he wants both regular and casual employees to report early to their respective departments although only regular employees are included in the time-in and time-out biometrics system. He said he wants to make Iloilo City conducive for all things positive, particularly business, education, and tourism. We in government must strive every day to provide a business-friendly climate, encourage commerce and industry, and provide a quality education system, he stressed. To achieve this goal, Mabilog said he is requiring everyones support and a positive change in mind-set. He said he would like to see Iloilo City stand out during his term, and that despite our critics continuing attacks, I will go ahead and try my best to facilitate positive change in City Hall, and in the city.
Charges Readied Vs Jail Officer

TOLEDO CITY, Cebu The Toledo City police said depending on investigation results, a jail officer who shot dead his warden inside the premises of the Toledo City jail Friday afternoon may be charged with murder. Toledo City Police Chief Michael Anthony Bastes said initial investigation could lead to the filing of a murder complaint against Jail Officer 1 Donald Isidore Ramas, 42, who shot dead Chief Inspector Anaclito Dusaran, 31, after the victim turned down the suspects request to file a leave on Monday. Less than an hour after the shooting, Ramas turned up at the police station and calmly surrendered, Bastes said. The warden was sitting with three other jail officers in the searching unit beside the entrance to the Toledo City Jail early in the afternoon Friday when Ramas arrived and started firing his gun. The warden tried to run away but Ramas shot him on the leg and on the head, witnesses said Also hit at the back was JO2 Maria Milamid Abella who, fortunately, was already in stable condition where he was brought after the shooting, police here said. Two of the three jail officers along with the victim were unarmed while the jail officer who was failed to shoot back as the suspect was already pointing his gun at them. After killing Dusaran, Ramas immediately left, shouting that he will surrender to the police. Police investigators said the suspect must have really resented the fact that Dusaran turned down his request to go on leave on Monday to secure some documents he needed schooling. The suspect assigned at the Toledo City jail since December 2012. (Mars W. Mosqueda, Jr.)

CEBU CITY, Cebu Considering that the first batch of beneficiaries of the governments poverty alleviation Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) which is implemented by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) will be graduating from the program by December, 2013, the DSWD is urging local government units (LGUs) to create convergence committees that would ensure that program gains are sustained. DSWD-7 convergence regional coordinator Erlinda Parame said the convergence committee is crucial for the sustainability of the 4Ps as it will help beneficiaries to be independent, especially since they will no longer receive monthly monetary assistance from the government. There are 20,071 4Ps beneficiaries of the program, which is
implemented by the DSWD, in Negros Oriental province and Cebu City whose financial aid from the government will end this year. The 4Ps program is only intended to last five years. Only 2,554 of total beneficiaries are from Cebu Citys 10 barangays, namely, Tejero, T. Padilla, Sawang Calero, Duljo-Fatima, Inayawan, Mambaling, Kalunasan, Sudlon I, Sudlon II, and Tagba-o; the rest are from Negros Oriental provinces seven towns. Parame encouraged LGUs to draft an executive order for the creation of committee which will offer livelihood options to 4Ps beneficiaries. Jimmy Crusio, DSWD-7 project development officer of the 4Ps in Cebu City said the city government has offered micro-financing and employment options. They can avail of the Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) with P 10,000 each as capital seed
fund, and we will also look for job opportunities for those who want to work, he said. Crusio said that 837 beneficiaries have already availed of the SLP while 400 have been employed. He added that the DSWD-7 is also linking up with the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI) for a microfinancing program where beneficiaries can avail of bigger loan capitals for their business ventures. Moreover, the convergence committee will also facilitate livelihood training for beneficiaries as well as provide capability building. The 4Ps provides beneficiaries with a cash grant for five years, where each family under the program given a total of P6, 000 for one year or P500 a month to be used for health and nutritional expenses, and another P3,000 of P250 a month for every childs educational expenses. The program, however only provides for a maximum of three children per family.

Budget and Management Secretary Florencio Abad will be presenting the proposed 2014 GAA to President Benigno S. Aquino III tomorrow, Monday. It will be discussed extensively by the President and his Cabinet. As with every budget that we have presented to Congress and that has been approved by Congress, matagal pinagaralan [it has been studied thoroughly], she said. Valte justified the increase, stressing that the projected expenditures have been tightened to ensure that the money we allot for a particular project actually goes to that project. As reported, the uptick in the budget for the coming year will go to vital infrastructure projects, which the government needs to put in place to enhance the countrys competitiveness and attract foreign investors, including additional spending for public healthcare, education, and housing. Under the proposed 2014 GAA, revenue performance is placed at P2.025 trillion, some P280 billion more compared to this years expectation of P1.745 trillion. The budget deficit has been pegged at P266.2 billion or two
percent of gross domestic product, which is projected to grow between 6.5 percent and 7.5 percent. But so far, if you do a comparison year-on-year, tumataas talaga yung mga revenue collections ng mga ahensya natin [the revenue collections of our government agencies are increasing], she said. Valte said the governments plan to cut poverty by 2015 and improve the lives of 10 million poor Filipinos is a fighting target. We will pour our best efforts to go into that, she said, noting the resources being poured in by the government in the areas of tourism and human capital, particularly on social services. It is really an investment on our people in order to enable them to do better in their lives, Valte said. This year, the national budget is at P2.006 trillion and is dubbed as the Empowerment Budget, as it seeks to fund projects and programs that would have a significant impact on reducing poverty by 16.6 percent when President Aquino steps down in 2016.
Still No...
quences of these delays which we have nothing to do with. This was stressed by the teachers who lamented the delay in the release of their Performance-Based Bonus (PBB). The Teachers Dignity Coalition (TDC), a 30,000-strong group, said that the teaching and non-teaching personnel should not be made to suffer over the failure of DepEd. The TDC had earlier sought a dialogue with the DepEd to get updates on the PBB. It is clear that this is not the fault of the teachers and employees, yet they suffer, TDC Chairman Benjo Basas said. Met by Assistant Secretary Jesus Mateo, TDC found out that only around 90 percent of the DepEd system has submitted the documents and only 50 percent of such were validated by the DepEd. They [DepEd] said that they are still waiting for 10 percent field submission before it could comply with the documentary requirements to begin processing of the PBB for teachers, Basas said. The meeting was attended by some 20 leaders of TDC from Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas, Valenzuela, Manila, Taguig-Pateros, San Juan, Makati, and Quezon City. Basas said that while
teachers are appealing for the release of their bonus as soon as possible, we would not want to leave the teachers who belong in that 10 percent. They asked the DepEd to issue a strong reminder to field officials of the regions/divisions with delayed submissions, including Region 7-Central Visayas, among others. With these delays, TDC also expressed its opposition to the implementation of the PBB which the teachers consider defective. Basas said that the six-month delay in the release of this particular bonus is a manifestation that there are flaws in the scheme and it has to be reviewed and amended. Mateo assured the group that DepEd will call the attention of respective schools division superintendents who have yet to submit the remaining requirements. The PBB is an incentive granted by the government to public school teachers and other employees under President Aquinos Executive Order No. 80, signed in July last year. It is a merit-based incentive system that would give the employees of the government a cash bonus ranging from P5,000 to P35,000 depending on their and their agencys performance.
Filipinos turn to the government for defense or turn to social media to express their own righteous anger. Ironically, however, these negative facets that Filipinos try to obscure are the same facets that make Manila so interesting. You can expect recently appointed Manila City tourism consultant Carlos Celdran to relate an interesting and extraordinary story of Manila. He wants more Filipinos to know more about the citys heritage, to get under Manilas gritty skin, in order to understand its complex history. We need to promote heritage tourism to make Manilas tourist district viable again. Culture and heritage play an important role in the promotion of Manila as a premier destination, said Celdran. He is known to have changed the way one looks at Manila through his walking tours of various heritage spots in the capital city. In his blog, celdrantours.blogspot. com, Celdran shared that Manila can be chaotic and spiritual, dirty and divine, gritty and gorgeous all at once. If you dont find beauty and poetry here, you will never find it anywhere. But now, as tourism consultant to Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada, Celdran is well aware that beauty and poetry alone wont bring in tourists and businesses to Manila until infrastructure and security bottlenecks are alleviated. Problems on cleanliness, crime, vagrants, safety and poor infrastructure are just some of the obstructions that dampen tourist activity in Manila, especially heritage tours that require a lot of walking, said Celdran. Mayor Estrada already expressed his plans
CONTROVERSIAL GUIDE File photo shows controversial tour guide Carlos Celdran while holding a protest action in front of the Commission on Elections in Intramuros, Manila. (Linus Guardian Escandor II)
for urban renewal and heightened public safety so Ill leave that to him. If Celdrans tourism plans push through, Manila will have a vibrant well-connected tourist district that stretches from the landmarks fronting Manila Bay CCP Complex, Rizal Park and the historic Manila Hotel), passing through the neighborhoods of Ermita and Malate, the landmarks of Intramuros, Binondo, Sta. Cruz and all the way to Quiapo and Divisoria. In an earlier television show interview, the celebrated tour guide mentioned his plans to transform Manilas baywalk strip into a pedestrian Broadway. The baywalk could be a two-prong promenade connected. Two walkways with lights and directional signs, with that you will create a big difference how people perceive Manila, he explained. The big difference, hopefully, could translate to tourist influx. More than the Philippines main tourism hub,
Manila remains one of the top destinations for foreign visitors in the country because of its varied lifestyle options like entertainment, shopping, dining, night life, concerts, exhibitions, shows and spectacles. According to statistics from the Department of Tourism (DOT), 1,729,862 foreign tourists visited the National Capital Region (NCR) from January to December 2011. Inbound tourism demand has significantly increased since then as reported by Tourism Secretary Ramon Jimenez Jr., citing the roughly two million foreign tourists who visited the country since January to May 2013. Manila is teeming with tourism potential, Celdran said. Mayor Estrada wants me to look at possible touristic areas that may have been overlooked by the past administration. With the right projects Im optimistic that we can revive Manilas former glory.

With tears in her eyes, Mora described how she was sent home with pain medicine but no apparent hope for treatment, thinking she was going to die after her 2011 aneurysm diagnosis. She says a photograph of the pope seemed to speak to her during the deceased pontiffs beatification, and her doctor says the aneurysm disappeared for no apparent reason. Mora and her family kept silent as they awaited the signing of the papal decree recognizing her story as a miracle. On Friday, accompanied by her husband, doctors and Catholic officials, Mora told gathered reporters that she had gone from believing she was about to die to a state of perfect health. Mora, who owns a private security business with her husband in the middle-class neighborhood of Dulce Nombre de Tres Rios, said she woke up on April 8, 2011, with a strong headache and went to a hospital in the nearby city of Cartago, where she was diagnosed with a severe migraine. The pain lasted for three days and Mora returned to the hospital, where a series of tests revealed an aneurysm on the right side of her brain that had begun to hemorrhage, according to her attending physician, Alejandro Vargas. Doctors were unable to stop the bleeding and Vargas consulted col-
leagues in other Latin American countries and Spain, who advised against operating because of the difficult access to the affected area. The risk for Floribeth was death or ending up with significant neurological damage, Dr. Vargas said Friday. I returned home with the horror of imminent death. Seeing my children walking by looking at me, standing beside my bed, seeing my husband making himself strong, taking my hand and crossing himself every night, it was very sad, Mora said. Her family built an altar to John Paul II outside her house, and while Mora was watching the late popes beatification on May 1, 2011, she picked up a magazine and, looking at a photo of the pope, starting to hear a voice. It said, Get up, dont be afraid, Mora said. Mora said she stood up and felt instantly better, and a variety of medical exams revealed that her aneurysm had simply disappeared. She showed reporters photos of her brain taken before and after the purported miracle. After her recovery, Mora wrote her story on a blog dedicated to John Paul, where it was seen by people pushing for the popes canonization. Later, she traveled to Rome, where she underwent further exams, and church officials began working to have her recovery classified as a miracle. Francis will set the date for canonization at an upcoming meeting of cardinals.
days of the 2011 revolution. The mayhem capped a day full of massive and defiant protests by Islamists demanding that Morsi be returned to power. At least four people were killed and many were wounded when security forces fired into a protest near the officers club of the powerful Republican Guard, where many believed Morsi was detained. With clashes breaking out late into the night, it was impossible to estimate the full extent of casualties and damage. But early Saturday, security officials said at least 30 people had been killed nationwide and hundreds wounded, many of them in Cairo. Islamists in other cities across the country also demanded Morsis reinstatement, breaking into government offices in several provinces and temporarily evicting military officials. Fifteen people died in Alexandria, and a curfew was declared in the Sinai Peninsula, where six soldiers and police officers were killed
in at least four attacks on security posts. The new violence suggested that the militarys removal of Morsi, the countrys first freely elected president, after protests by millions of Egyptians angry with his rule, had worsened the deep polarization between Islamists who call his ouster a military coup and their opponents who say his removal was the result of an urgent need to fix Egypts myriad problems. By turning out in the tens of thousands, the pro-Morsi crowds underlined the organizational might of the Muslim Brotherhood, which emerged as the major political force and dominated rounds of elections after the countrys revolution two years ago. At that time, it gained power that many in the group had dreamed of for decades. The militarys intervention in politics this week entirely removed it from the government. The group called the protests the
Friday of Rejection and chanted for Morsis return. We will bring him back bearing him on our necks, sacrifice our souls for him, Mohamed Badie, the groups spiritual leader, told an enraged crowd at a large demonstration in the Cairo suburb of Nasr City. We will bring back the rights of the Egyptian people who were wronged by this disgraceful conspiracy. Badie said the reports that he had been among the Islamist leaders arrested in a post-Morsi crackdown by security forces were false. Hundreds of Islamists were detained within a day after Morsis ouster. Some were released on Friday. An interim president installed by the military, Adli Mansour, a former chief justice of the Supreme Constitutional Court, took a further step on Friday to erase the vestiges of Morsis government by formally dissolving the Shura Council, the countrys only operating house of Parliament, which the Islamists had dominated. The constitutional court had disbanded the lower house last year, one of many challenges Morsi had faced in his troubled tenure.
Muslims Prepare...
ninth lunar calendar of Hijrah. Muslims observe this as a month of fasting regarded as one of the Five Pillars of Islam. Tonight, authorities representing some 1.7 billion Muslims across the globe, will start sighting the first moon of Ramadan, the 29th and last day of Shaaban month, to signal the start of fasting the next day. If the new moon is invisible due to heavy clouds, Tuesday would be the first fasting day, making Shaaban a 30-day month, according to Islamic tradition. Meanwhile, in Cotabato City, local military establishments have been placed on red alert status in preparation for unlikely armed activities that may recur in conflict-prone areas of Mindanao as the Muslim fasting in Ramadhan starts Monday or Tuesday. Theres no major threat so far but we just want to be ready for any eventuality in pursuit of preserving the supremacy of the current Mindanao peace process, Maj. Gen. Romeo Gapuz, commanding general of the Maguindanao-based 6th Infantry Division, told reporters lately. The government and Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) peace panels will resume the formal talks in Kuala Lumpur starting July 8. A few days before the peace talks
resumption was announced, groups including the military, received text messages about impending attacks in Mindanao areas, notably those in the coverage of the 6th ID. The 6th ID command covers the provinces of Maguindanao, North Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat and parts of Lanao del Sur and South Cotabato, all areas noted for pockets of atrocities in past observances of the Islamic fasting. No specific group was tagged in the spread of the awkward information, but local military and civilian intelligence networks suspect the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF). In the past, moderate Islam clerics had condemned attacks made by the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) on Ramadhan month, saying these spoiled the essence of self-restraint and peacebuilding advocated in the Islamic fasting. Its founder, Ustaz Umbra Kato, founded the movement to protest the MILF leaderships decision to pursue negotiations for autonomy with the government. The MILF leadership later dropped Kato and his men from its roster of membership after they staged a series of attacks in Central Mindanao, some of which were done at the height of
Ramadhan fasting. Ramadhan fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam, prescribing abstention from eating, drinking, and sex from dawn to dusk. The four other pillars are the belief in absolute oneness of God and in Prophet Mohammad as His Messenger, worship through daily prayers, paying zakat (tax cum charity), and performance of hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). It is a must for Muslims, except for minors, the aged, sick, travelers, pregnant, suckling and menstruating women, and mentally-retarded. (Except for the retarded, the other exempted shall fast an equivalent number of days afterwards.) Scholars deem the first ten days of Ramadhan fasting as a moment to seek Gods mercy, the second ten days for Gods forgiveness, and the last other for salvation from the Hell-fire. In his book Road to Mecca, Muhammad Arsad (formerly Leopold Weiss) has viewed fasting as a means of helping develop social responsibility and individual morality towards Islamic ethics. He learned that fasting has two purposes: The first is to inculcate upon ones consciousness as a religious postulate the social responsibility shaped in abstaining from food and drinks that made him feel what the poor and hungry feel. The second is is self-discipline, an aspect of individual morality being strongly stressed in Islamic teachings.

COVENANT
In a tournament as big as the FIBA-Asia Championship, the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) will definitely need the help from every sector to make sure that it will be a successful event. The SBP, led by its president Manny V. Pangilinan, on Friday signed a covenant with cities of Manila, Pasay and Makati, as well as the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), all of which signified to help in staging the Asian championship scheduled Aug. 1 to 11. It goes without saying that we need their support, said Pangilinan yesterday prior to the covenant signing held at the Dusit Thani Hotel in Makati. We look forward to staging a successful hosting of the event. Lets show the brand of Filipino hospitality. Waylon Galvez
Dwight Howard soared into Los Angeles last summer as a flawed but celebrated savior, a smiling, musclebound, mischievous superstar who could dominate the court and carry the Lakers into another glorious era. One disastrous season later, Howard is on the move again, crushing one franchises dreams while inspiring anothers. Howard committed to the Houston Rockets on Friday after mulling offers from five teams, including the Lakers, the Golden State Warriors, the Atlanta Hawks and the Dallas Mavericks. The first official confirmation came
from Mitch Kupchak, the Lakers general manager, in a statement posted online Friday night. We have been informed of Dwights decision to not return to the Lakers, Kupchak said. Naturally, were disappointed. However, we will now move forward in a different direction with the future of the franchise and, as always, will do our best to build the best team possible, one our great Lakers fans will be proud to support. Kupchak thanked Howard for his time and consideration and added, We wish him the best of luck on the remainder of his NBA career.
The first clue from Howard came in the form of his Twitter avatar, which was altered to show him in a bright red Rockets jersey, with the No. 12 on the chest. His right thumb is pointing up. A short time later, Howard tweeted his decision. Ive decided to become a member of the Houston Rockets, Howard wrote. I feel its the best place for me and I am excited about joining the Rockets and Im looking forward to a great season. I want to thank the fans in Los Angeles and wish them the best. General Manager Daryl Morey
also broadcast his excitement via Twitter, writing: Welcome to Houston @DwightHoward!!! Years of work by Dwight & Rockets went into this. This team is going to be special. With his decision, Howard became the first star in modern NBA history to walk away from the Lakers while still in his prime. Under NBA rules, no signings or trades can be consummated until July 10, and teams are generally prohibited from commenting until then. Players and their agents are free to confirm deals, however.

Murray vs Djoko
LONDON (AP) It looked as though nothing could stop Andy Murray after he reeled off five straight games to take control of a Wimbledon semifinal that hadnt been going his way. Then chair umpire Jake Garner made an announcement: They were going to stop play to close the roof on Centre Court. Murray pointed skyward, where the late-evening light was still shining brightly enough to play. This is an outdoor tournament, he complained. I dont understand these rules. Players rarely win these sort of arguments and Murray was no exception. But instead of letting it ruin his evening, he came back after a half-hour break and closed the deal against No. 24 Jerzy Janowicz to make the Wimbledon final for the second straight year. Murray is one win away from becoming the first British man since 1936 to win the home country tournament. Winning Wimbledon would be a huge achievement for any tennis player, Murray said. Winning Wimbledon is pretty much the pinnacle of the sport. Murray won 6-7 (2), 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 on Friday and figures to be the fresher player when he meets No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the final Sunday the third time theyve met in a Grand Slam final over the past 10 months. Theyve split the last two, with Murray winning a five-setter at the US Open last year and Djokovic winning in four sets in Australia to open the 2013 major season. The reason for the lateness of Mur-
Jins Try Luck In Mexico

Armed with a hefty P2.55-million assistance from the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), top bets John Paul Liazardo and Kirstie Elaine Alora are going to form the tip of the Philippines lance in the 2013 World Taekwondo Championships scheduled July 15 to 21 in Puebla, Mexico. Lizardo and Alora, gold medallists in the 2011 Southeast Asian Games, will join 12 other athletes in Mexico alongside Victor Emmanuel Veneracion (team manager), Roberto Cruz (mens team coach), Dindo Dimpao (womens team coach) and Ricardo Santiago Jr. (international referee). PSC executive director Guillermo Iroy said the budget was approved during a board meeting last April 15, giving the Philippine Taekwondo Association the opportunity not only to try its luck in the high-caliber event but rev up for the 2013 SEAG that will be held in December in Myanmar. Also vying in Mexico are Keno Anthony Mendoza, Paul Romero, Gershon Bautista, Samuel Harper Morrison, Christian Dela Cruz, Kristopher Robert Uy, Korina Paladin, Nicole Abigail Cham, Paulince Louise Lopez, Jade Zafra, Melanie Hope Douglas and Jane Rafaelle Narra. Lizardo, 27, Alora, 22, and Romero, are the countrys brightest hopes in making it to the podium in the tournament that has lured the participation of at least 120 countries. Lizardo has been a perennial campaigner in the world championships, having strutted his stuff in 2007 (Beijing) and 2009 (Copenhagen). Lizardo, Alora and Romero also took the bronze medals in the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou. Nick Giongco
BOXERS LOSE
Amman, Jordan The Philippine campaign in the Asian Elite Mens Boxing Championships came to an abrupt end Friday when two of its boxers lost in the quarterfinals. Asian Games gold medalist Rey Saludar, 25, bowed to Thailands flyweight bet Tanes Ongjunta on identical 28-29 scores of the three judges. Rogen Ladon, on the other hand, lost to vaunted Temertas Zhussupov of Kazakhstan, 28-28, 28-29 and 27-30. Abap executive director Ed Picson said we are naturally disappointed but all our losses were to powerhouse teams and all were close fights but we fell short. We were unfortunate to meet them early in the tournament, but thats the way it is. We learned some valuable lessons here.

CLARK FREEPORT ZONE Host Philippines qualified two more teams to the Softball World Series as its Big League and Senior League squads completed their romp in their respective divisions yesterday in the 2013 Asia Pacific and Middle East Tournament at Clark Parade Grounds here. Philippine representative Manila South, the reigning world champion in the 16-18 division, stormed to a 13-1 regulation rout of Guam to retain the AsPac crown via a four-game sweep of their event and return to the World Series.

It was a back-and-forth, bone-wearying 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (2), 6-7 (6), 6-3 victory that was supposed to be the undercard on the days schedule but turned out to be something much better.

Riviera, Orchard, Valley Sweep Foes

Riviera, Orchard and Valley kicked off their campaigns by sweeping their respective opponents in the seasonopening matches of the Mens Federation League in various courses recently. Riviera, the leagues winningest team, fashioned out the most lopsided win of the opening matches a 5-0 trashing of Sherwood Hillls at home a week after scoring a 3-2 decision in the away game of their duel marking the start of the weekly duels among members the Federation of Golf Clubs Phils. Inc. Valley also made an auspicious debut with a sweep of Sta. Elena, posting a 3.5-1.5 win on the road then a 3-2 squeaker at home while Orchard scored two wins over Mimosa, 3-.5-1.5 at home and 4-1 in the away game, to be among the early leaders after the first two weeks of the match play battles. Eagle Ridge marked its debut in the league by splitting its series with powerhouse Alabang. The Cavite club took a 4.5-.5 loss at Alabang in the season openers but fought back with a 3-2 victory at home. In the featured match of the opening schedule, defending champion Wack Wack was held to a draw by Eastridge. Wack Wack, keeping the core of the team that beat Canlubang for the crown last year, launched its titleretention bid with a 3-2 home win but Eastridge was a tough nut to crack at its home course, yielding a 2-3 decision for a split. Fourteen teams, including Canlubang, Tagaytay Highlands, Forest Hills and Manila Southwoods, are vying for this years title.
of players who have long had ample respect for each other. In the end, though, it was these words from del Potro that summed things up: I hit many winners in one point, and always, the ball comes back. Mixing offense with his best-inthe-world counterpunching, Djokovic slid on the dried-out grass behind the baseline, did the splits a few times and repeatedly returned del Potros serves that reached up to 130 mph. He finished with 80 winners over a match that encompassed 368 points. Djokovic has won 10 of his last 12 five-setters; Del Potro lost his fifth consecutive match thats gone the distance.

Filipinos Can Excel In Badminton Gade

He may have only caught a glimpse of the Philippine badminton scene, but Peter Gade, one of the legends of the sport, believes Filipinos have what it takes to excel on the international stage. They can. Of course, they have the possibility, said Gade. But I think it demands a change in their mentality. They have to work really hard and believe that they can do it. They have the same possibilities as in China or Malaysia. The Danish shuttler, the former world No. 1, was in town the past week to grace the FDG Cup where he played in an exhibition match alongside Robinsons Land Corp. president Frederick D. Go, in whose name the three-day event was held. Although he admitted he saw little action from the locals in the competition, the now-retired 36-year-old Europes best believes the Filipinos interest in the sport is a start of the road toward greatness. I didnt get the chance of seeing actual matches from the tournament, but from what I know and Ive seen a bit, theres no doubt you have a lot of interest, said Gade, who graced the event along with reigning world No. 1 Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia. But you have to have an education about what do you have to do if you want to be one of the best players in the world, he said. Interest, however, only gets one so far, according to Gade, a five-time European Championship winner and former All-England champion and winner of 22 Grand Prix titles. Its a life long commitment, Gade said. You have to be fully committed in every area. You have to spend time. Not only for one year or two years, but you have to make a plan for five years and 10 years and follow it then will you see results coming. Plenty of sacrifice is also necessary, said Gade, who only officially retired from the sport seven months ago after playing competitive badminton since he was 6.

UE, UST Prevail

By JONAS TERRADO
Games Today (Mall of Asia Arena) 11 a.m. - FEU vs UP 4 p.m. - Ateneo vs La Salle
A robbery marred yesterdays 76th UAAP basketball action at the Smart Araneta Coliseum when the Adamson Falcons lost some of their key valuables following a 67-62 defeat to University of Santo Tomas. The Falcons were still licking their wounds inside the locker room when about 4-7 players discovered that either their cellphones or cash were stolen by unidentified burglars in an apparent inside job. Adamson star Jericho Cruz was among the hardest hit, claiming to have lost about P5,000 while others had their iPhones, a popular line of smartphone, falling prey to thieves. It was the completion of a nightmarish day for the Falcons, who before the incident wasted a comfortable 10-point edge in the third quarter that allowed the Tigers to tie idle Far Eastern University for the early lead at 2-0. Talo ka na nga, nanakawan ka pa, said Adamson mentor Leo Austria, who was spared from the inci-
dent, as the rest of the coaching staff and a few players. As of presstime, cops from Station 7 are finalizing an incident report with Adamson officials to determine the amount of the items but observers are all in agreement that there was no forcible entry. The incident is the latest of a string of locker room robberies after the Meralco Bolts during a PBA game at the Mall of Asia Arena last October and Blackwater Sports after a PBA D-League contest at the Blue Eagle gym over the summer. Overshadowed was USTs comeback from a 36-46 deficit in the third thanks to a full court press that netted 15 turnover points. Kevin Ferrer and Jeric Teng sizzled for the Tigers when needed the most. Ferrer scored 17 points while Teng added 15 markers. In the nightcap, Roi Sumang hit a rare four-point play off a Bobby Ray Parks.

Lyceum Dumps Mapua

By CHRISTIAN JACINTO
Games Tomorrow (The Arena, San Juan) 4 p.m. - EAC vs San Beda 6 p.m. - San Sebastian vs Perpetual
Lyceum leaned heavily on the hot hands of Dexter Zamora, who caught fire with a game-high 22 points as the Pirates mauled the Mapua Cardinals yesterday, 74-59, in the 89th NCAA basketball wars at the Arena in San Juan. Coming off a dismal showing against Arellano the last time, Lyceum zoomed ahead in the third quarter on a 17-4 tear that turned a 51-50 Mapua lead to a 67-55 advantage with 3:08 remaining in the game on a Zamora floater. Zamora, who hails from Bu-
kindon, chipped in a total of seven points in that decisive run, enabling the Pirates to improve their win-loss record to 2-1, the same tally of defending champion San Beda. Lyceum head coach Bonnie Tan was happy with the way his team performed offensively this time around, something that they lacked in their 68-60 loss against Arellano last Saturday. Our shooting clicked in the fourth quarter and that was missing in our last game, said Tan,
who was wary of Mapuas ability to storm back from a big deficit. But there was none of it yesterday as the Pirates put the cuffs on the Cardinals scoring duo of Joseph Eriobu and Kenneth Ighalo, who joined hand with 51 points during Mapuas 104-99 victory over San Sebastian last Monday. Eriobu and Ighalo combined for just nine points yesterday on a hideous three-of-15 shooting. Aside from Zamoras heavy output, Lyceum also drew firepower from Shane Ko, Wilson
Baltazar and Azzis Mbomiko. Ko finished with 15 points five rebounds and five assists, Baltazar added 10 points and five boards while Mbomiko injected energy and hustle for the Pirates and scored all of his eight points in the second half.

WENDYS EXPANSION
The difficult times are over for Wenphil Corporation, the master franchisee of Wendys International, as it expects to breach the P1-billion revenue mark this year on back of robust sales after it heavily invested in the reconstruction of its existing 33 outlets and rebranding efforts as it transitions to become a more open and cosmopolitan-type of restaurant. Wenphil president Elizabeth Pardo-Orbeta told reporters in an interview they are investing P3 million to P5 million per store for renovation and modernization, the first-ever to be undertaken after 29 years of operation in the country. The company has already finished renovation of 7 outlets and is expected to finish 6 outlets this year. (BCM)
Establishments embracing energy efficient lifestyles and technologies, including those for buildings, could yield cost savings and can help in power investment avoidance, especially for a country confronted with thinning power supply. This is the recurrent theme being propagated by the Department of Energy (DOE) as it steps up the countrys energy efficiency drive through enforcement of green-inspired design in buildings. At the recently concluded Build-
ing Green 2013 conference, a latest version of the Building for Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence (BERDE) Green Building Rating System (GBRS) was launched by stakeholders. The energy department explained that the BERDE-GBRS will be enforced to measure, verify and monitor the environmental performance of buildings that exceeds existing mandatory regulations and standards. It has been emphasized that various case studies coming from the commercial, residential and public sectors were presented including
those on pilot projects, as well as strategies and standards to showcase the benefits of embracing energy efficiency ventures. Aside from lighting, BERDE considers energy efficiency in all aspects, including air, water and waste in buildings to create a healthy environment for users and improve their quality of life, the energy department has explained. It was further noted that the Philippine Energy Efficiency ProgramEfficient Buildings Initiative (PEEPEBI) aims to show the societal

WASHINGTON (AFP) In his first year as president of the World Bank, Jim Yong Kim has tried to refocus the institution on fighting poverty but challenges lie ahead. The pick of the Korean-American, an academic and doctor by training, marked a radical departure from other recent heads of the Washington-based global body. Both Robert Zoellick and Paul Wolfowitz fellow Americans recruited when George W. Bush was in the White House did not have development experience on their resums.
Less well-known and controversial than those before him, Doctor Kim quickly tried to make his mark on the development giant amid competition from new players, such as China, willing to drop large sums, especially in Africa. Dr. Kim has been a welcome breath of fresh air compared to some of past World Bank presidents who had no experience in development but we cant yet assess if he will change the bank for the better, said Peter Chowla of the Bretton Woods Project that keeps a close eye on the institution.

Federal Land Sells P5-B Notes

By JAMES A. LOYOLA
TRADING SUSPENDED
The Philippine Stock Exchange has suspended the trading of the shares of Ever Gotesco Resources & Holdings, Inc. after its registration and permit to sell securities was suspended by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC suspended Evers registration after the firm violated for the fourth time the Implementing Rules and Regulations of the Securities Regulation Code by failing to hold its annual stockholders meeting in 2012. Because of this, the PSE decided to suspend trading in Ever shares from July 5, 2013 until further notice. (JAL)
Federal Land, Inc., the property development arm of the Ty familys GT Capital Holdings, Inc., has signed a P5-billion corporate notes facility agreement with a syndicate of institutional lenders composed of banks, insurance companies, pension funds and trust institutions. In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, the firm said proceeds of the facility, which consists of seven- and ten-year fixed-rate notes
will be used for ongoing projects, working capital and general corporate purposes. Due to strong institutional demand, the issue size was increased from the original P3 billion through Federal Lands exercise of the entire overallotment option. Federal Land President Alfred V. Ty expressed gratitude to the various institutions involved for the overwhelming success of the notes issue. The timing of this debt raising
is excellent, as it enables Federal Land to capitalize on robust real estate demand fuelled by the strong economic wave currently enjoyed by our country, Ty said. He noted that, against the backdrop of a strong economy, we have maintained a steady surge in the market demand for our high-end, middle end and affordable projects, from the western part of Metro Manila to the eastern section. The fundamentals of our company remain sound and

2037 BONDS
Philippine bonds maturing in 2037 posted the biggest weekly loss in a month as odds the Federal Reserve will taper debt purchases damped demand for emerging- market assets, while local inflation accelerated. The peso dropped for the week as global investors trimmed their share holdings by a net 14 percent in 2013, stock exchange data show. Consumer prices climbed 2.8 percent in June from a year earlier, more than the 2.6 percent increase in May and the 2.7 percent median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey. The yield on the 6.125 percent government notes due October 2037 surged 40 basis points, or 0.40 percentage point, to 5.6 percent this week in Manila, according to prices from Tradition Financial Services. The rate slipped 15 basis points Friday and is up 125 basis points since May 31. (Bloomberg)

In a ceremony recently held at Maxs Forbestown branch in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, Maxs announced forging a partnership with Carat, an independent media planning and buying specialist owned by London-based media and digital marketing communications company Aegis Group, plc. Maxs Marketing Director Edgar Allan Caper shared the companys optimism with the collaboration as Carat completes Maxs triumvirate of creative and strategic partner agencies which also includes multi-awarded creative agency DM9 Jayme-Syfu and fast-emerging PR consultancy firm Bright Idea Events Management. Hailed as one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For by The Sunday Times, Carat also boasts of a wide global network with presence in over 70 countries. of investments within five years, Trota said. Maxs strategy is to own its stores in the Metro Manila area and the future expansion within this area, but the provincial expansions are franchisees. Aside from Maxs, Trota has already acquired two master franchises of Krispy Kreme, a donut restaurant, and Jamba Juice. The company has also established 42 Krispy Kreme outlets and 8 Jamba Juice. For its fourth brand, Maxs Corner Bakery, Trota said they have integrated this bakery business segment into all of its Maxs franchisees in the past couple of years. The company is trying to strengthen this business unit with the intention of spinning it off in less than two years. We are trying to spin it off a lot sooner than two years, he said. The revenue contribution from this bakery business is growing but it is more of incidental expenses of restaurant customers. Maxs is a company-owned restaurant chain that gained its popularity for serving delicious home-cooked fried chicken to American soldiers stationed near its original store in the Scout area in Quezon City. Meanwhile, Maxs has unveiled plans to ramp up its strategic market-

Maxs, the countrys successful fried chicken-based casual dining restaurant, is spreading its wings further in foreign shores with nine new stores in New York, Canada and the Middle East countries. Maxs Restaurant president Roberto F. Trota told reporters in an interview that these new outlets are being undertaken by individual Filipino franchisees in New York, Hawaii and Alberta, Canada. For the Middle East expansion, Maxs has awarded a master franchisee for Karama, the first to open in that region, Sharjia, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. This would bring Maxs total foreign outlets to 15 by end this year. It has already nine stores in the US with its flagship store located in Las Vegas, its only company-owned restaurant in the US. Trota further said that the company has started to offer mainstream dishes in foreign outlets Locally, Trota said the latest to open is Butuan City and Eastwood in Quezon City to bring its total local restaurants to 140 of which 65 are company-owned.

Frontier Oil Firming Up Back-In Deal In West Palawan Oil Block

By MYRNA M. VELASCO
Upstream oil industry player Frontier Oil Corporation is firming up its planned 5.0-percent back-in deal for Service Contract (SC) 55 covering the Cinco-1 well in West Palawan basin. In a statement to the media, the company noted that the momentum and excitement surrounding Frontier appears to be gathering pace as details come to light of the companys 5.0% back-in arrangement over SC 55 lying offshore Palawan. The back-in arrangement, as announced previously, will have to be done with Trans-Asia Oil and Energy Development Corporation via an affiliate that had been intended to be set up. The company indicated that the block contains several structures of substantial size and economic discovery potential. The scheduled drillings at the petroleum block had been on-hold because of the remaining permit that the contractors, led by operator Australian firm BHP Billiton, would have to secure with the Palawan Sustainable Development Council. The company has laid down ag-
gressive ventures in the countrys upstream oil and gas industry to underpin its planned initial public offering (IPO) this year. Frontier Oil chief executive officer Kristoffer Fellowes has reiterated the firms intentions to IPO this year. He enthused that the company has already sparked the interest of a number of known business individuals and is planning to further strengthen the companys board ahead of what promises to be a successful float on the exchange prior to year-end. Beyond SC 55, the company similarly indicated that it is now moving rapidly towards commercially exploiting both SC 52 along Northwest Palawan as well as its Calauit prospect under SC 50. For SC 52, the company affirmed the extension of their option for the 10 percent interest in the petroleum block. It was provided under the terms of the extension that Trans-Asia will pay the project operator an option fee that entitles them to a 10-percent participating interest post-drilling. It added that the option fee will be offset against the cost of exploration. (MMV)

LGUs, IPs Support Padcals Continued Operations

By JAMES A. LOYOLA
Philex Mining Corporations bid for the lifting of the suspension order on the operation of its Padcal mine has received wide support from local government units as well as indigenous people in the area. The newly elected Mayor of Itogon Victorio Palangdan and the Provincial Board of Benguet have asked government regulators to allow Philex to resume Padcals operations while the Indigenous Peoples Organizations have made the same call to President
Benigno S. Aquino III. Palangdan recommended to the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) the approval of a request from Philex that its Padcal Mine be allowed to continue producing fresh tailings beyond July 7, as part of the urgent measures to rehabilitate its tailings pond, saying this is not at all self-serving. Itogon is one of the two towns hosting Padcal Mine, in Benguet. Palangdan stressed the need of Philex Mining to continue producing fresh tailings for Padcals Tailings
Storage Facility No. 3 (TSF3) beyond the four-month temporary permit given by the MGB was based primarily on the findings and recommendations of an independent engineering and environmental consultancy, Golder Associates. On June 21, Philex Mining president Eulalio Austin, Jr. asked the MGB to allow the company to continue depositing fresh tailings at TSF3, in order not to hamper its urgent remediation and rehabilitation activities. The Provincial Board of Benguet has appealed for the extension of the
four-month permit issued to Philex for the resumption of its Padcal operations. It said that allowing Philex Mining to continue operating would also be beneficial to local government units (LGUs) hosting the company as well as their constituents. It also stressed that Philex Mining, through its ongoing rehabilitation program, has restored the safety and integrity of Padcals Tailings Storage Facility No. 3 (TSF), in Itogon, after the tailings-leak accident last August 1.
Meanwhile, members of IPOs in Benguet and Pangasinan had asked President Aquino to allow Philex to permanently resume operations at its Padcal Mine. The IPOs said their call is being made because of their need for economic survival and obligation to support a responsible mining company. The 1,143 members of IPOs in Benguet said in an open letter to the President that it is urgent that this is done at the immediate time after the ongoing rehabilitation work.

STX Pan Ocean Receivership Idles 200 Bulk Carriers

By JOYCE LEE and MEEYOUNG CHO
SEOUL (Reuters) Around 200 bulk carriers operated by South Koreas STX Pan Ocean Co Ltd are out of action after the firm went into receivership last month, a company source said, affecting shipments of commodities such as wheat and exports of steel. STX Pan Ocean, which owned 95 ships and chartered about 300 vessels, went into court receivership on June 17, in the latest blow to the debt-saddled STX Group. Only about half of our roughly 400 vessels remain in play, with 16 vessels arrested, 10 ships stalled due to lack of fuel, and most of the rest returned as charter contracts ended without extension, said a STX Pan Ocean source with direct knowledge of the matter. The source declined to be identified as he was not authorized to speak to the media. An STX spokesman declined to comment. STX Pan Ocean has a string of long-term contracts with iron ore companies, steel mills, power generators and flour millers. Korean flour millers, which annually import about 2.2 million tonnes of wheat, are considering switching shippers, or asking sellers to ship wheat on a cost-and-freight basis, rather than free-on-board, said two sources with knowledge of the issue. This would mean buyers do not need to find ships, POSCO, the worlds fifth-largest steelmaker, said it was also considering using other shippers or land routes for some of its steel exports. Three STX Pan Ocean bulk carriers carrying 150,000 tonnes of
steel products from POSCO to the United States had been seized in ports before STX filed for protection under US bankruptcy laws on June 20, Korean media reported. A POSCO spokeswoman declined to comment on the report. Jung Tae-won, a senior manager in the wheat department at food group CJ Cheiljedang Corp., said the firm could run out of stocks if there were shipment delays. It would hit our production in early August, if delivery gets delayed a week more, he said. Korean flour millers jointly import 150,000-180,000 tonnes of wheat per month via four to six ships operated by STX, according to industry data. The millers hold about two to four months of consumable wheat in their stocks. The loading of wheat at three STX ships two currently at US ports and one at an Australian port due for early- and mid-June has been delayed until now, Jung said. Millers are also concerned about July loading scheduled later this month, although Jung said he had received assurances from STX over both deliveries. From a long-term perspective, we may have to find other shippers or ask sellers to provide ships, if shipment delays worsen, Jung added. Korean millers are due to renew their three-year contract with STX this month, according to sources. Industry data showed STX Pan Ocean holds long-term contracts worth $13 billion, including those with Brazilian mining giant Vale SA and Brazilian pulp company Fibria Celulose SA, whereas its current liabilities are estimated at $5 billion, although this is likely to rise.
Airlines are repackaging their fees. Under pressure to find new sources of revenue as ticket prices remain depressed, airlines for years have been tacking on baggage fees and charging for meals that used to be free. The fees are continuing to multiply and increase. In late April four of the largest US airlines raised fees for changing a domestic flight to $200 from $150, posting the notifications in small print on their websites. There are also fees at many US airlines for early boarding, unaccompanied minors, processing a ticket purchased with award miles, getting a ticket issued by an airline reservations clerk, using a mileage-based upgrade, and overweight bags and oversize luggage. But airlines are also bundling some of the fees differently and framing them as a service, mixing the good with the bad. Last December AMR Corp.s American Airlines began selling packages called Choice Essential -- for $68 round trip on domestic tickets -- that spare the traveler from paying a reservation-change fee and provide a free checked bag and priority boarding. The more costly Choice Plus package, at $88 round trip, also lets the flier stand by for a different flight on the same day and awards 50% more frequent-flier miles. Were a retailer trying to create a product line, said Rick Elieson, Americans managing
director of digital marketing. United Continental Holdings Inc. announced early last month that it is bringing back annual subscriptions for its roomier Economy Plus coach seats and for checked baggage. Uniteds new Economy Plus annual subscription for a customer flying in the continental US costs $499. A couple would pay $699. The new bagfee subscription would cost a person traveling in the continental US $399 a year to check two standard bags a trip. A global subscription for that person is $799 a year. There are other variations as well. Delta Air Lines Inc. and JetBlue Airways Corp. now also sell access on a per-trip basis to such seats, and American Airlines is making a similar offering. Actual ticket prices account for just 70% of the revenue at major airlines, down from 84% in 2000, according to the Department of Transportation. Fees tacked on for checked luggage and reservation changes alone rose to a record $6.1 billion in fees last year, up from $5.7 billion the year before. Overall revenue was $159.5 billion last year. Add-on fees are expected to rise further. John Thomas, head of the global aviation practice for L.E.K. Consulting, estimated that by 2020 US airlines will double to $12 billion a year the amount they take in from selling different elements of the trip, some of which used to be included in the ticket price. Aside from the now-commonplace fees for baggage, changing reserva-
tions and better seats, fees will include items such as onboard Wi-Fi and speedier security screening. Ancillary revenue is massively underpinning the economics of the industry, Mr. Thomas said. While US airlines have rebounded from staggering losses in the past decade by trimming their unprofitable routes and going through bankruptcies and mergers, their 2012 revenue per passenger exceeded costs by a mere 37 cents, according to the Airlines for America trade group. Without $8.49 per passenger in ancillary revenue last year, revenue would have been $8.12 lower than per-passenger costs. Put another way, from 2000 through last year, inflation-adjusted domestic fares declined 15%. With the ancillary revenue added, the decline would have been 10%, the trade association said. Jay Sorensen, an airline revenue consultant for IdeaWorks Co., said he believed fees for advance coach seat assignments and international checked baggage are on the horizon. Neither idea is that far-fetched, based on moves that some major European carriers are already making, he said. While low-cost Spirit Airlines Inc. and Allegiant Travel Co. successfully have imposed fees for just about everything including carry-on bags to augment their rock-bottom fares, carriers that have fewer fees tend to be more popular in traveler surveys. Southwest Airlines Co. doesnt charge for the first two checked bags and doesnt impose a fee for changing a reservation. JetBlue lets the first checked bag fly without charge.

AirAsia India Starts Flying In October

NEW DELHI (AP) AirAsia Chief Executive Tony Fernandes says the budget airlines new joint venture in India will begin domestic flights in October to underserved Chennai, Bangalore and Cochin cities in the south. He says the Chennai-based AirAsia India will start out with three Airbus jets and plans to add 10 additional planes each year. Fernandes was in New Delhi on Wednesday to tout the new low-cost carrier, a joint venture with Indian conglomerate Tata Group and investment company Telestra Tradeplace. Malaysia-based AirAsia holds a 49 percent stake, making the carrier the first airline set up with foreign money since the Indian government relaxed investment restrictions in aviation. Southeast Asias top budget carrier, AirAsia hopes to cash in on the expected rapid expansion of the undeveloped domestic market for Indias 1.2 billion people.
HONG KONG (Reuters) China Rongsheng Heavy Industries Group, Chinas largest private shipbuilder, appealed for financial help from the Chinese government and big shareholders on Friday after cutting its workforce and delaying payments to suppliers. The companys distress underscores the pressure on Chinas shipbuilding industry, which has suffered from overcapacity and shrinking orders amid a global shipping downturn. New ship orders for Chinese builders fell by about half last year. China Rongsheng said it was expecting a net loss for the six months that ended June 30 from a year earlier, according to a filing to the Hong Kong stock exchange. It gave no figures. But it reported a net loss of 572.6 million yuan ($93.47 million) in 2012,
its worst-ever, despite getting government subsidies of 1.27 billion yuan in that year, its latest annual report shows. The companys shares were down more than 14 percent in Hong Kong, at a record low. Shares in the company, which listed in 2010, were suspended on Thursday following media reports it had laid off 8,000 workers. Obviously its bad with the fact that you have a profit warning and there is a request to ease financial pressure through the government, said Nathan Snyder, a transport analyst at CLSA. Every shipbuilder is in a similar position at the moment in China. In its filing, China Rongsheng said some workers had been made redundant, although it gave no numbers or timeframe for the losses. The Wall Street Journal said this week there had been 8,000 job cuts in recent months, representing about 40 percent of China
Rongshengs workforce. The company is a major supplier of bulk carriers that ship iron ore from producer nations such as Brazil to China. Brazils Vale is one of its customers. China Rongsheng has said it won only two shipbuilding orders worth $55.6 million last year when its target was $1.8 billion worth of contracts. China Rongsheng was coping with tightened cash flow by delaying payments to suppliers and workers, the filing said. It denied claims suppliers had towed away machinery from its Nantong production base in eastern Jiangsu province, near Shanghai. The company said it was in talks with banks and other financial institutions to renew existing credit lines. According to its December 2012 annual report, issued on March 26, China Rongshengs cash and cash equivalents fell to 2.1 billion yuan from 6.3 billion yuan a year ago.

The department added it was put in place to accelerate the implementation of a green building rating system by streamlining existing green building initiatives in the property sector. The DOE thus reiterated that its self-designed PEEP , in general, has been targeting to reduce electricity consumption by 243 megawatts. The cut in carbon footprints will redound to 172,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent while the expected
monetary savings could reach as much as P3.2 billion. The Department of Finance (DOF) earlier sounded off support to the DOE initiative, noting that it will help integrate energy efficiency in the countrys policy agenda. In various occasions, Energy Undersecretary Loreta G. Ayson enthused that great potential for energy savings can be derived with the rollout of various energy efficiency solutions and technologies. Yet she emphasized that for government to succeed, everyone has to participate and investments have to come in, to support the vision of creating significant improvements in the countrys energy consumption.

Asia Lags On Swaps Compliance Under Dodd-Frank Act Of US

But according to an insider at the Bank, people are split on the directors personality and his actions. There are those who admire him and others feel he is too focused on talking, the source said. Under his leadership, the Bank garnered attention when it published a report warning of cataclysmic climate change, unfamiliar territory usually occupied by the United Nations. I feel that the World Bank has an enormous responsibility to first tell the world about climate change, but then really move our investments in a direction so that we can limit carbon emissions and really slow down the pace of climate change, Kim told AFP in an exclusive interview. This new approach is not without contradictions. Intent on helping the 1.2 billion still living without electricity, the Bank continues to finance development projects based on fossil fuels, such as a coal plant in Kosovo -- much to the chagrin of environmentalists. Its going to be impossible for us to move right now to a completely fossil free world, Kim acknowledged. His other big project wont be easy to tackle either. In early April, he set the goal of eradicating extreme poverty by 2030 by reducing the proportion of people living on less than $1.25 a day from 21 percent to 3 percent. We expected
that the Bank set a strategy and refocus its mission on reducing poverty. Its already a big success, said Nicolas Mombrial, head of the Washington office of Oxfam International. Its an admirable goal but the challenge is immense. Going forward, the Bank has to find ways to increase economic growth to reduce poverty without further damage to the environment. Kim is in a difficult position, said Lawrence MacDonald of the Center for Global Development. Hes right to sound the alarm on climate but Im afraid that the poverty goal and climate change could be conflicting. The president is confident solutions exist but he has to convince the Banks 188 member countries and some 10,000 employees. It wont be an easy task. In a recent internal document obtained by AFP , Kim denounced the culture of fear that allegedly curbs initiatives at the heart of the institution and is used to justify inaction. Certain reactions, published on the Banks intranet, reflect a climate of mistrust. The bank has never been an honest organization, either with itself or with the clients, said one unnamed Bank employee. Is the Bank willing to take the risk of offending member nations by telling them that they are corrupt and that many nations are themselves the single biggest obstacle to development? added another.
WASINGTON (IFR/Reuters) Many banks in Asia are putting trillions of dollars in US derivatives business at risk in failing to keep to regulation under the Dodd-Frank Act. Banks that handle swaps contracts with US counterparties have until July 12 to comply with disclosure rules governed by the US financial services act. The rules require any bank that records more than US$8bn in notional principal of derivatives transactions with US entities in a 12-month period to register as a swaps dealer. Once registered, dealers have to comply with most of the requirements of the wide-ranging Dodd-Frank Act, including the reporting of every derivatives contract involving a US entity. In Asia Pacific, however, only Australian and Japanese banks have registered so far, according to data from the Commodities and Futures Trading Commission. As of June 7, 78 institutions had already registered as swaps dealers - 46 of those are based outside the US. Institutions in Asia and elsewhere exceeding that threshold but that do not observe the regulations could see all their swaps contracts with US counterparts declared void. That is no small matter for Asia Pacific, a big part of the international market for derivatives. In the first quarter of the year, the region originated US$30.9trn of exchange-traded derivatives contracts, according to the Bank for International Settlements.
Data for over-the-counter contracts is not available in geographical terms, but Asia is estimated to be responsible for tens of trillions of dollars more each year in off-exchange trading. While it is not clear how much of this volume includes US counterparties, the entire market for derivatives is affected by the regulation - directly or indirectly. Asian firms will find it difficult to escape the reaches of the CFTC completely. Lawyers and bankers in the region say many Asian lenders lack information or are dismissive about the new rules, despite their use of derivatives. However, it is important that they at least become aware of the requirements, because even banks that may not have to register as swap dealers still have to perform calculations on a regular basis to ensure they are under the US$8bn threshold. Every sizeable non-US bank with a significant derivatives business should take the time and effort to perform the de minimis calculations to ascertain whether or not it may be required to register as a swap dealer with the CFTC, said Jeff Chen, Hong Kong-based partner at US law firm Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, and a specialist in derivatives regulation. Some of the largest banks in Asia have not yet done a proper calculation. One Chinese banker, who works in the local swaps market, said his firm had invited an adviser to inform staff about how the new regulation works, but he had not heard anything about the need to register with the CFTC. That also means he has never heard
of the US$8bn threshold. The banker admitted, though, that Chinese banks did a lot of derivatives deals with US counterparties and that US$8bn could be reached very easily. For some banks, one mitigating factor is that the US$8bn total refers to notional volumes. A bank may have US$70bn in derivatives deals with US counterparties, but, because many are cancelled out by deals in the opposite direction, its notional principal volume will often remain below the US$8bn threshold. The CFTC started to require nonUS banks to tally their swap dealings with US persons from October 12 last year. Once a non-US bank crosses the US$8bn annual threshold it must register as a swap dealer within about two months. According to Chen, the worlds largest banks had already reached the US$8bn threshold by the end of October last year, and so were obliged to register with the CFTC by the end of December 2012. Some 60 banks did so at that time. On the other hand, no Chinese bank, including Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the worlds biggest bank by assets at the end of 2012, has yet registered with the CFTC.

DTI Launches Roving SME Academy

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) together with the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Development Council (MSMEDC) recently launched the SME Roving Academy, a continuous learning program for the development of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to make them become competitive in the local and international markets. We will integrate various services provided by all government agencies and private sector organization that are into SME development, Bureau of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Development (BMSMED) Officer-inCharge Jerry T. Clavesillas said during the launching of the SME Roving Academy in Davao City. We are harmonizing all government interventions. At the end of the program intervention, we can determine the benefits that have been provided by the government and nongovernment organizations to a sector, and the same time we can measure its impact, Clavesillas added. Clavesillas noted DTI is collaborating with local government units (LGUs), chambers, academe, finance institutions, trade and industry associations and other government and non-government organizations to implement the program. The program will employ the following strategies: integrate the business development services for SMEs at local and national levels; establish the provincial, regional and national entrepreneurship development networks; and manage an inclusive promotion program. Clavesillas identified seven stages SME Roving Academy along with the Export Pathways Program (EPP) framework. These stages include startup and capability building, market awareness, market readiness, export readiness, export market entry, export sustainability, and export expansion. The EPP is an innovative strategy that intends to assist existing and new exporters by offering client-focused interventions to fit their requirements at any stage of their business. To implement the EPP , the Regional Interactive Platform for Philippine Exporters (RIPPLES) is used as tool. The RIPPLES aims to keep exporters and potential exporters updated on international market access requirements, product trends and developments, and other international trade information that they need to be competitive. This is the ideal structure but not all MSMEs will go through this process. Some will only be at the first, second and third level but we want to focus our intervention to those who will proceed in the export stages, Clavesillas said.

processing, manufacturing and even tourism, Manalo said. He also said Mindanao is the countrys second largest land-locked area that accounts for 34 percent of the Philippines total land area. It is on top of the list of investment opportunities given incentives by the Board of Investments (BOI). Tropical fruits like coconut, mangosteen, banana, pineapple and papaya are global favorites. Since 2006, the Philippines ranked number three among all the biggest coconut producing countries, Manalo said. He noted eight of the top 10
provinces producing coconut are in Mindanao and the Philippines ranks number one in the global share copra production. Coco coir and peat are traditional export favorites. Today, beyond traditional coconut exports, value added products like desiccated coconut, virgin coconut oil, and now coconut water, Manalo said. He also said global trends and perception on the use coconut have changed dramatically in the last five years. Positive assurances on coconut as enabler dietary and nutritional health has given rise to consumer demand for coconut based food ingredients. Coconut derivatives have now been sought after ingredients even in high-end cosmetics. Coco-
nut milk and coconut water are now beverages of choice by the young, mobile, trendy and health-conscious men and women all over the world. Moreover, he noted the coconut industry is a huge investment opportunity but there are other industries to consider like carrageenan, which is compound extracted from a variety of seaweeds only commonly found or farmable in the clear waters of Southern Mindanao, Indonesia and
Malaysia. Carageenan has many uses and its main application is on food products where it is used primarily for its gellying and thickening properties. Seaweed production is an integral part of the Mindanao industry cluster, Manalo said. In 2001, the Philippines ranked as number one producer of carrageenan and accounted for 40.7 percent of total world production
capacity. The country is the worlds largest exporter of processed carrageenan, which is a US$ 5 billion global market. Manalo said DTI will continue to develop industry clusters and harness potentials of local produce. In 2013, it plans to launch 800 Shared Service Facilities (SSF) to enable farmers sell products at prices above commodity prices locally or for export consumption.

have little to spare. Given the amount of things I do, if I do overtime work on one, then a domino effect will happen and I will end up doing nothing. For example, my typical Monday would consist of a management committee meeting in ABS-CBN at 9 a.m., which finishes by 11 a.m. Usually, from noon to 2 p.m., I would also have a meeting with some of the different organizations I am part of. Before I get to the office at 9 a.m., I would usually have two to three one-hour meetings in between. I usually leave my office around five, because I have a 6 to 9 p.m. class in La Sallemeaning, I need to travel from Quezon City to Makati. I do my articles for Bulletin when I get home, and finish up on my last few e-mails before retiring by midnight. Of course, this assumes a normal day, where there are no emergency meetings with ABS-CBN, my companies or organizations, school or other things. Thus, every time I am immersed with work every day, people would know that when they meet with me, it is automatic for them to recognize that my time spent with them is precious. It does not mean that it is all work. Sometimes, I ask people in the middle of a brainstorming session to just stop, leave the conference room, and have coffee with me downstairs. The walk sometimes makes us think better and more creatively, and after a 30-minute break, our brains seem to respond better. Its not always about sitting down and staring at the computer, but at the end of the day, you have to ask yourself: Did you get a lot of things done at the least amount of time possible? This is the only way you can get a lot of things done and the only way you can relax and have time for yourself. There is a huge difference between effectiveness and efficiency. To be effective means to get the job done. Being efficient means getting the job done in the least amount of time, and with the least amount of resources. I choose to be efficient, because I know that if I am efficient, I have time to do more things. When people see me for meetings, they know I always go straight to the point, with quick decisions made. I do not like having long meetings, where sometimes the discussion trails off the agenda. Worst is when there are no agendas at all, so everyone goes to the meeting having no idea what it is that will be discussed. To be efficient is to have the discipline of time management. While my daily meetings usually block off hourly chunks in my schedule, I usually finish ahead of time. This affords me more time to do other things, like, for example, finishing a presentation for an event tonight, done in between my first and second morning meeting. Fifteen years ago, I thought that

Seven Surefire Ways To Motivate Your People

you supposed to close at exactly nine and not 10 minutes before? Wont you get penalized for closing early? The food server looked at my husband and said, Sige po, whats your order? After giving our order, my husband asked the food server to let the other guy buy as well while shes at it. The other guy thanked my husband and chuckled, Benta na, ayaw pa niya (Its already a sale and she doesnt want it.) Clearly, this is an example of an employee who does not seem to care about her company. This made me think about our own employees. I wondered, given the same situation, would they refuse to sell to a customer simply because they wanted to go home earlier? Never, I thought. I gave a sigh of relief and gratitude because I know that my people will go out of their way to assist a customer. In fact, many times, they have even assisted customers late into the night, after office hours, just to make sure that the customers were served properly. We are so blessed to have people who care. Why do they care? I believe it is because they have a sense of ownership towards the company and their jobs. They understand that if the company does well, they will do well, too. I honestly believe that they are properly motivated. So let me share with you a few tips on how to motivate your people. If you are a business owner who directly manages employees, or a manager or supervisor who needs to make sure that your staff will do their work with initiative, here are some strategies to help you motivate them.
Clear Directions And Results

If your employees do not know the goal of your company, you cannot really expect them to work towards your goal or any objective whatsoever. It is important that sales or production targets be clearly communicated to your employeeseven better if you could link it to their performance, compensation and benefits. But dont just stop there. Be sure to remind them about the companys targets as often as you can. This way, they will know what to strive for.
will be able to produce. So instead of criticizing their work, which some bosses do, cultivate a positive and encouraging environment within your team.
Recognition
It is natural and easy to see the mistakes of our employees, but what takes more effort is noticing their good deeds. So be on the look-out for good deeds and call them out. When you tell your staff Good job and pat their backs, be sure to mention what it was for. This way, you give positive reinforcement on the good deed. They will feel appreciated. A simple and sincere thank you will go a long way.
losing time at the mall the other day, my husband and I wanted to buy a quick dessert from a food cart. When we reached the place, there was another customer there who wanted to order the dessert, but the food server said, Sorry, closed na po kami (were closed). My husband looked at his watch and commented, But its just 10 minutes before nine oclock. Arent
Encouragement
Once youve clearly communicated your company goals, encourage your team by inspiring them and believing in them. If they learn and embrace the powerful phrase, We can, you can just imagine how much more they

Streetwise Idea Turns Into A Worldwide Success

he world now enjoys Filipino street food, albeit online. People around the globe have become familiar with local delicacies like kwek-kwek and fish balls, thanks to Streetfood Tycoon and Filipino game developer Erick Garayblas. Garayblas is the proud creator of Streetfood Tycoon, a flash game available for both iOS and Android devices. The game has been downloaded over four million times worldwide, of which around one million are from the Philippines. The game is very addictive. Players often request for more cart upgrades and celebrity customers. The game was recognized for its excellent graphics, design and function at the third Philippine Game Development Festival (PGDF) sponsored by the Game Developers Association of
the Philippines (GDAP). Streetfood Tycoon won the Cultural Award and Best Handheld/Mobile Game Award.
Streetfood Tycoon
Garayblas is the founder of Kuyi Mobile, one of the top independent game development companies in the Philippines. When Garayblas first developed the prototype for Streetfood Tycoon, people seemed to enjoy the concept of the game. The idea for the game stemmed from his desire to set up a food cart business, although the business never took off beyond the drawing board. Instead, Garayblas adopted the model of popular tycoon simulation games and added a touch of Filipino culture. It became popular in places like Thailand and China, where people understood street food, shares Garayblas. I also made sure to

Gamers enjoy Garayblas spoofs of local celebrities like Manny Pacquiao, Vice Ganda and President Noynoy Aquino, as well as international celebrities like Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, and Korean pop superstar Psy. The original Streetfood Tycoon took about six months of development before it was released. The sequel came out faster because Garayblas was able to outsource graphic design from other artists. Garayblas still did majority of the work, including the graphics for the original game. The game did not generate revenue right away, but after the promotions and reviews it garnered from social

It is the responsibility of management to train their sales force to apply sound territory and key accounts management. Nevertheless, the individual salesperson, even in the absence of management support, should take the initiative to learn these to improve performance.

Profiling your customers. The second stage is knowing about your customers. There is virtually an unlimited amount of information that you can gather about your customer.

Often, the territory is not a geographical area but a type of customer or product line. Currently, there is another area, the online market, which is steadily growing in some industries. The company must study what is the most suitable way of segmenting for their product or service. You would also need to identify the key accounts. These are the large accounts that need special attention, and they may be so critical that higher management are sometimes also involved in their account.

Be A Sole Proprietorship, Partnership Or Corporation?

or most entrepreneurs, one of the most important decisions is whether to be a sole proprietorship, a partnership or a corporation. A mistake in form of organization can bring long-term damage to a business. Despite the risks, most people make this decision without a good idea of the type that is really best for their company. Usually, we rely on our accountant or some other person who we believe is knowledgeable in making this decision. While most of the time their advice may have been correct, it would be better if you yourself understand what is best for the company you are planning to put up. Below are tips on the advantages and disadvantages of each type of organization:
only option. It is also very fast to put up. The large majority of businesses in the Philippines are sole proprietorships. The main problem here is that you and the business are legally the same, and this means that your companys liabilities are also your personal obligations, exposing you to great risks. There are many cases where a business is formed as a sole proprietorship even though it is not really so. The most common example is the case of married couples. When a husband and wife form a company, it should, at least, be a partnership since there are two of them. A partnership allows two or more persons. Many couples think having the business in the name of only one of them does not matter if everything is conjugal property anyway. To be on the safe side, consult an expert on all the possible consequences of this arrangement.
accounting, can only be organized as partnerships. A partnerships income is equally divided among the partners, unless there is a written provision that dictates other wise. Frequently, there are quarrels because there are partners that think their partner is not putting in the same amount of effort or investment and still get the same profit. Decide on a fair arrangement beforehand. If you are the main investor, and the one personally liable, this position is called the general partner. The others are called limited partners because they have only limited liability, as if they were shareholders in a corporation.
Corporation
A corporation is considered a separate entity; an artificial person created by law and, like partnerships, is registered in the Securities and Exchange Commission. It takes at least five persons to form a corporation in the Philippines. There are many advantages if you are a corporation, and thus almost all large companies are corporations because of these. Also, there are some businesses that by law must be organized as a corporation, like a lending company for example.
Partnership
Midway between the sole proprietorship and corporation is the partnership form of business. Partnerships are registered in the Securities and Exchange Commission. Some types of business must be partnerships. Some types of professional practices, like law and
Sole Proprietorship
This is when only one person owns and controls the business. It is the most simple and inexpensive alternative. If you have very limited capital, then this may be your
The main deterrent in choosing a corporation is the much larger amount of expenses and effort required in setting up and maintaining this type of legal entity. If the expense is not a problem, a corporation is quite probably the best option. The most often cited advantage of corporations is limited liability. That is, in normal circumstances, you will not be liable beyond your investment in the corporation. This is quite understandable since operating a business always has some risks and you would want your personal assets to be free from creditors in case your business goes bankrupt. However, this is not entirely accurate. If you have unpaid subscribed shares, then you are still liable for the unpaid balance of the stock. You can have fully paid shares so that you will not be surprised by this. There are also some other situations where you may be personally liable. One of the greatest advantages of a corporation is that it is relatively easier to get additional capital for it. Note, however, that in applying for a loan for your business, there is often fine print that makes you personally liable for unpaid obligations. Try to avoid this provision, if possible, as it nullifies the legal protection of your personal assets if your company is a
corporation. Pe r h a p s t h e m o s t s e r i o u s disadvantage of corporations is that there is double taxation. The companys income is first taxed, and then cash dividends to stockholders are once again taxed. However, in practice there are also tax advantages in being a corporation. Choosing the appropriate legal structure for your company has a profound impact on its eventual success, so do not take this decision lightly. The good news about this is that, should you find the status quo not ideal, it is possible to change to a different form of business structure. But you can only make a wise judgement on this crucial matter if you have a basic understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of the options.

classes in Gymboree centers, usually prodded by the desire to improve their social and academic skills and confidence so they pass the entrance exams of established elementary schools, where slots are limited. In popular schools like De La Salle Santiago Zobel, for instance, only a low percentage of kids that enroll every year are accepted. At the centers usually located in malls near high-end residential areas, Gymboree classes are packaged for at least four weeks and involve both parents and their kids. In 45-minute lessons set in an indoor Gymboree playground designed for young learners, parents are instructed to coax their children to crawl through a tunnel or to slide them up and down ramps while repeating the words up or down. The set of activities based on a curriculum developed by experts are age-appropriate and ascertain that the youngsters optimize developmental milestones. In places like General Santos and
Cebu, franchisors put up Gymboree locations prodded by a lack of high quality and reputable early childhood schools in their area. In the smaller urban centers, the usual practice is for the curriculum of a school to be developed by the school directress, who likely doubles up as the business and administration manager. This leaves her little time for research and development. Nevertheless, the field of early childhood education is continually evolving, demanding that lessons and programs be constantly updated.
but now it is their third child who is enrolled with us, she says. In addition to the Gymboree Play and Learn program, the centers also offer courses in Music, Art, Sports and PreSchool, all led by well-trained teachers following wellresearched lesson plans. Other sources of revenue for franchisees include birthdays, sales of Gymboree products, and pay-per-play in the indoor playground.

She adds that the Gymboree franchise system has been drawing in parents and kids for 37 years now, with its systems constantly updated. Gymboree is also a well-established and efficient franchise system. The Gymboree curriculum and marketing materials, for instance, are easily available online for franchisees to access. The best Gymboree endorsers, nevertheless, are the young enrollees themselves. In every center, the children who can walk on their own almost always make a dash for the playground where most lessons take place. Its a good place to learn to become a confident and creative lifelong learner.

non-monetary. I am a big believer of giving rewards and incentives, but simply giving an incentive scheme is not enough. To be effective, rewards and incentives must be designed around your companys goals and your employees performance. It should be attainable because if it is too difficult to reach, it may actually backfire and discourage your people instead of encouraging them. It should also be affordable for your company, and, above all, it should be communicated clearly and constantly. If you want to learn how to design incentive, merit and reward programs, I encourage you to take our seminar on it. You can get more info at www.businessmakeracademy.com.
Giving them training, whether inhouse or through public seminars, will help broaden their minds and perspective. Knowing that you are investing in their development will boost their spirit and self-worth, which is a truly great motivator. My business partner Cindy, who conducts various corporate trainings and teambuilding workshops for top 500 corporations, often shares the heartwarming testimonies of how effective training can be in making people understand that their company values them.
Coaching And Mentoring

Another effective technique is coaching and mentoring. Unlike typical trainings, coaching and mentoring involves one- on- one learning and development over a given period of time. This requires more involvement of both the mentor and mentee. It requires commitment, from both parties, to a relationship that is meant to build the person up with constant guidance, correction
and motivation. People who have achieved great things often had a generous and helpful mentor who gave them a boost and motivated them to achieve great things. Motivating employees can do wonders for any business. If the food server we encountered was motivated enough, she would have served all customers even after the clock struck nine. She would have found ways to bring in more sales every day. She would have cared. That is why it is important to make sure that there are programs and actions that will encourage employees in all levels of your company to achieve better results and reach your goals. Are you and your people motivated enough?

Game Development In The Philippines

According to Garayblas, the development of a casual or mobile game may take up to four months, while a more complex role-playing game (RPG) takes six months to a year to develop, involving at least a team of four. Casual games are the type of games that you can play anytime and anywhere. RPG games have a more complex storyline and take longer to finish, explains Garayblas. Moreover, increasing sales of iOS and Android devices provided the gaming industry with a whole new platform. Smart devices have a better capacity for more complex mobile gaming compared to feature phones. According to a study by Ovum, the digital games market will more than double, and by 2016, the game development industry is expected to earn approximately $30 billion in Asia-Pacific region alone.

Systematizing the selling process. There has to be certain procedures that are standardized as soon as they are known to be beneficial. Although there must be some measure of flexibility, the sales force must follow certain rules to avoid problems and to improve their productivity. Sales strategies and tactics are taught and there are many companies that even
prescribe the exact sales pitches. In doing this, management must ensure that the activities of their sales force are aligned with the objectives of the company. Sales is one of the most important functions of any company. However, it is this area that has fallen behind manufacturing and other departments in applying scientific procedures. But the marketplace has proven that it is no longer sufficient to rely on the skill of the sales force. Intense
competition is now forcing companies from virtually all industries to adapt modern methods of sales management in order to survive. To know more about this topic, BusinessCoach, Inc., a leading business seminar provider, will be conducting a seminar entitled, Ter ritor y and Key Accounts Management.

Careers In Game Development

L aunching a career in this industry is tough. According to Garayblas, game development is heavy on mathematics, physics and logic. Careers in game development include Java developers, iOS, Android, and C++ developers, PHP and MySQL developers, and Actionscript developers, which require a background in computer science, information technology (IT),
science or mathematics. With over thousands of applications available in app stores, it is also quite a challenge to get noticed. You can never really be 100 percent sure that a game is going to be successful. The developers of Angry Birds and Temple Run didnt know that their games were going to be as popular as they are now, Garayblas says. Aspiring game developers should always try to find opportunities to collaborate, especially with veterans, he adds. The experience will not only refine their technical skills, but it will also help them understand the business aspect of game development better, he says. The skills set required of a game developer includes being able to perform character design, game programming, application programming for use in games (such as the creation of chat application for online games), user interface design, motion capture services, game art and animation, voice dubbing and sound production, game porting (translation of existing games into other language formats or into other platforms), game testing, and gamer community support. An alternative for those interested in a game development career but do not have a background in computer science or IT is to get into game design. A game designer is different from a programmer or an artist. Before a game is built, something called a game design document must first be produced. The game designer will have to be very familiar with games and be able to write really well. Other careers that are important in the industry include artists, sound engineers and producers.

REFLECTION...
enter and they do not receive you, go out into the streets and say, The dust of your town that clings to our feet, even that we shake off against you. Yet know this: The kingdom of God is at hand. I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom on that day than for that town. The seventy[-two] returned rejoicing, and said, Lord, even the demons are subject to us because of Your name. Jesus said, I have observed Satan fall like lightning from the sky. Behold, I have given you the power to tread upon serpents and scorpions and upon the full force of the enemy and nothing will harm you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice because the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice because your names are written in heaven. REFLECTION The Lord appointed seventy[two] others. Jesus appoints and sends these 72 in pairs to every town and place He intends to visit. Jesus, the Messiah, is the Son of God. Yet He desires to have collaborators in His work. He has already chosen and formed a core group, the Twelve. Now He appoints more collaborators. Jesus wishes that His work should also be our own. Thus He continues to call people today. Vatican II, Pope Paul VI, and the popes after Him have
been telling the Christians of today that each Christian is called to the apostolate. You and I, all of us, have the mandate, by virtue of our baptism and confirmation, to announce the coming of Gods kingdom and to make it arrive for people. The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few. The first remedy is prayer sincere prayer that the Lord may send more priests, more religious, and more lay apostles to help in the harvest, and that those called may respond generously to the call. And why should we not respond generously when it is the Lord who calls and asks us to undertake the most noble task of helping save people? The 72 later return and rejoice that even the demons are subject to them because of Jesus name. Remember how the devil was no match for St. John Marie Vianney, the lowly but saintly parish priest of Ars in France. Satan will be no match for us who invoke the name of Jesus. Those whom God calls, God equips and empowers. SOURCE: 366 Days with the Lord 2012, ST.

will be passed down to our future generations. When we are gone, our children will take the baton and likewise pass it to the next generation. The choice is ours. What we have to remember always is that whether we like it or not, we are sowing seeds for future generations! Everything we do matters. This is how important the so-called generational account is. This is why we have to understand the concept. So that our Lord God will be pleased with us as well as with our descendants. *** Whether we like it or not, whether we realize or not, whether we admit it or not how we live and what we leave to our children, to our descendants as well as to other people will determine the true worth of our life on earth. Looking back at our ancestors ideas, attitudes, eccentricities, virtues, social behaviour, experiences, their successes and failures in life will determine whether we will be reaping the so-called generational blessings or we will be suffering the ill-effects of the so-called generational curses. Yes, we can be the victims of the destructive behaviour of our ancestors. Unless the so-called generational curses of our ancestors a legacy that they leave to their future generation is overcome.
*** If we will just be resigned to be like our parents who had problems with addictions, bad habits, bad attitudes, and dysfunctions, then we can never break free from the strongholds of our past. But this should not be so. The good news is that we can put a stop to it. We can break the bondage and start a new generation of godly lives. This is what the Holy Bible, the Word of God says in simple and clear terms. *** Let me share with you a story in the Holy Bible how a woman of illrepute changed her life from a life of sin to a godly life. She chose to reverse her bloodline by choosing to walk in obedience to the Word of God. Her lasting legacy is that she became a part of the geneology of Jesus Christ! I am talking about Rahab, referred to in the Book of Joshua in the Old Testament as the harlot (prostitute) of Jericho. In the Book of Joshua, Rahab played a major role in the conquest of Jericho by the Israelites led by Joshua (Moses successor as the leader of the Israelites who left Egypt when they were maltreated as slaves of the pharaoh). She protected the two Israelites who were sent by Joshua to spy on Jericho. In return Rahab asked for protection of her family. Rahab by her own sincere
act of helping the two Israelites was able to overcome her bad account of prostitution. She reversed her spiritual bloodline. *** Joel Osteen in his book Becoming a Better You, says: It may be difficult, but you have the power to overcome the wrong choices made by your family members in previous generations. Beyond that, you can make life better for the generations that follow you. Every offense that you forgive, every bad habit you break, every victory you win is one less lap for those who come after you. Even if you dont do it for yourself, do it for your children, do it for your grandchildren. Do it so you can have an enduring house. A hundred years from now, your blood will still speak to future generations. In some way, either positively or negatively, your bloodline will affect others in your family line.

Demokrasya and Bagong Bagumbayan is similar to the complaint earlier filed by AES WATCH and former Vice President Teofisto Guingona against the respondents. It alleged that the defendants violated the rules and regulations prescribed by RA 8436 which authorized Comelec to use automated systems on elections. Also their alleged failure to conduct clean, honest, and credible elections. Furthermore, the accused allegedly conspired and refused to review the source code of the PCOS, removed the digital signatures and voter verification requirements, tampered with the official ballots and disallowed the random manual audit by not following the provisions of the EAS Law, thus violating the rights of citizens to accurate and transparent counting of votes. Last Sunday, I saw Una sa lahat. In that program of former Senator Kit Tatad at GNN-Destiny cable, a very interesting discussion on the 60-3010 pattern in the last 2013 elections was presented. The guests were Ador Paglinawan, co-convenor of Tanggulang Demokrasya, and Maricor Akol of Transparent Election Org. Ph. In Tatads program, his guests convinced me that indeed theres a need to manually count the votes in at least 59,182 precincts which are the precincts whose figures have been reported to the transparency computer which was the source of the votes reported by the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting PPCRV. According to Chairman Brillantes, he was willing to have the votes counted manually provided that those who request it will deposit the amount of R200M which is the estimated cost. Paglinawan suggest-
ed that each member of Congress set aside R1M of his pork barrel for this purpose. In this way all doubts will be removed. I would like to summarize what I can remember of the Powerpoint presentation of Ador Paglinawan with all his graphs and mathematical figures: First and foremost, based on the votes reported in the transparency computer which is the evidence available... is that the theory of big numbers could be applied when you total the number of votes of the candidates in a particular area i.e. 60% for the administrations candidates, 30% UNA, and 10% for the rest. However, when you go down to the provincial, city, municipal vote count, it is unbelievable that the 60-30-10 ratio is maintained in all areas. Even when you start counting by random count the precinct-byprecinct results, it is not possible that the 60-30-10 is maintained. Yes, even in the bailiwicks of the various candidates, especially the 30 senatorial candidates. Second, since the 60-30-10 is not credible, therefore there was an alleged program, pattern, plan etc. in fact Paglinawan said that indeed he is convinced of the veracity of his position because this was the product of the research and studies of their technical committee, composed of Professors Moga, Del Rosario, Estrella, and Casino. Said pattern could indeed allegedly elect predetermined winners nine candidates from the administration and 3 from UNA. Third, the EAS Law was vio lated because the required digital signatures of the precinct Board of

multiple nerve sites. What is it? People frequently refer to the brain as gray matter. But the complete brain has white matter too. It is the tissue found underlying the gray cerebral cortices (the gray matter) made up of myelinated nerve fibers and a clump of neurons called the basal ganglia. Inflammation occurs in white matter eventually affecting the covering of nerve fibers or myelin. So imag-
Elections Inspectors (BEI) were removed. This happened allegedly because of the Comelecs instructions to deliberately omit it. Thus, one cannot identify from which precinct the vote figures sent to the transparency computer were coming from. In fact in the Comelec instructions, when the PCOS asks for the BEIs digital signature, the teachers were instructed to press no. Then when the PCOS again asks for confirmation of said action the Comelec instructions were to press yes. I ask the question, can the Comelec by mere resolutions or instructions amend RA 8436, especially with regards to duties in connection with safeguards for an honest and clean elections? I dont think so. rene.g.espina@gmail.com
ine your high-speed cable connection breaking down because some of the wires have lost their covering leaving them exposed. This happens in MS too. The disease attacks the myelin of nerve fibers, particularly those involved in sensation, vision, and movement. In MS, transmission of high-speed electrochemical messages in the nervous system is also impaired, blocked, or lost. Immune System Askew. Specialized cells and organs comprising the immune system take down foreign invaders such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. But what if the attackers are the supposed protectors themselves? This is what happens in an auto-immune disease as exemplified by multiple sclerosis. In particular, the immune system misidentifies or in todays parlance, wrongly profiles myelin and begins to destroy it. Signs and Symptoms. MS waxes and wanes. The initial attack usually involves the optic nerve and so symptoms may include blurring of vision, double vision, distortion in red and green colors, or blindness in one eye. Others may note fatigue, muscle weakness, and trouble walking. There may also be: Spasticity (stiffness of muscles). Temperature, touch and pain
perception changes. Moderate to severe pain. Problems with speech. Tremors. Bladder and bowel dysfunction. Depression. Diagnosis & Treatment. The expert in multiple sclerosis is the neurologist . There is no cure for multiple sclerosis. However, doctors still have their hands full in working to improve recovery from attacks, lessen the number of relapses, and of course, to stop the progression of the disease. The mainstays of treatment are steroids, muscle relaxants, tranquilizers, and strong analgesics or anticonvulsants. To reduce the number of MS attacks, beta-interferons (naturally found antiviral proteins) are used. In chronic MS, theres a need to restrain the immune system, in a manner of speaking, from doing more damage. Mitoxantrone and methotrexate are some immunosuppressives that modulate the immune system. Coping with multiple sclerosis demands an optimistic outlook. Indeed, if one accepts that thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season, one also hopes to see again in the next.

Psy, Koreas New Tourism Ambassador

K-Pop singing sensation Psy talks Korean food and culture in his commercial 'Psy's Wiki Korea' (Screen grabbed from ibuzzkorea.com).
The global Korean superstar that brought Gangnam District to the global scene is now the new poster boy of KTO
Text by JACKY LYNNE A. OIGA
outh Korean tourism just became a little funkier. Now that the world is convinced that YouTube sensation, comedic singer Psy is not a onehit wonder, the Korean Tourism Organization (KTO) has tapped the global K-Pop star to be its new tourism ambassador replacing American saxophonist Kenny G. As his first task as tourism ambassador, Psy taped a series of TV commercials for the advertising campaign, Psys Wiki Korea that has been airing on major TV stations in 70 countries all over the globe since June 3. In the TVCs, Psy talks about the food, fun, and culture tourists should experience in South Korea -- aside from partying with hot girls in Gangnam District. The commercial is also accompanied by a global online contest where people can get a chance to win a free tour to Korea with a mystery (attention K-Pop and Hallyu fangirls) Korean celebrity in August. According to KTO, with Psy as tourism ambassador, KTO is gearing into introducing more modern Korean culture as well as tap into new media fronts like social networks and YouTube. With the steady growth of arrivals and additional tourism promotions such as the one we have with Psy, Korea tourism is right on track inspite of recent tensions between South Korea and North Korea, says KTO-Manila director Sangyong Zhu. Zhu admits that there have been significant concerns among travel industry members and tourists regarding safety, resulting in a number of cancelation of travel bookings to South Korea. However, actual visitor arrivals prove otherwise and Korea maintains its vitality as usual. For the first half of this year, 198,776 Filipinos traveled to Korea with a 20.1 percent growth rate from the same period last year, Zhu shares. In particular, the number of Filipino tourists to Korea increased to 8.5 percent in April when we were in the middle of moody tensions with North Korea. Zhu adds: Furthermore, we had 12.1 percent growth in May and 66.2 percent growth in June. As a result of this, the Philippines is now the 6th largest inbound market for Korea tourism. Aside from Filipino tourists, KTO is expecting more visitors from various parts of the world for the rest of the year as tensions have built up a pent-up demand among international travelers over the last few months. Also, KTO will be adding more promotions and campaigns to promote Korea internationally such as Visit Year of BUG (Busan City, Ulsan City and Gyeongnam-do Province) 2013, Suncheon Bay Garden Expo 2013, World International Medicine Fair and Festival in Sancheong and Tripitaka Koreana Festival. Korea has a longstanding reputation as a safe destination and is well prepared to welcome international guests with confidence, Zhu maintains. I would like to emphasize that Korea is now safer than ever for foreign tourists while both South and North Korean governments are in a reconciliatory mood to hold high level official meetings in the future.

a g u i o City is a sanctuary for t h o s e seeking an idyllic break from the demands of metropolitan living. For this rainy season, the City of Pines is also a great place for a food expedition. Here is a quick list of only in Baguio food specialties and restaurants that one can visit one after the other in a Baguio food trip vacation: STRAWBERRY TAHO. Sold almost everywhere in the city, good old-fashioned taho made from soya is drizzled with strawberry syrup and, if one is lucky, fresh strawberries. The slight tanginess of the syrup and fresh fruit bits blend nicely with the soft and creamy soya, making this taho a hit among adults and children.
surprisingly delicious kamote bread; the unassuming Filipino longganisa-sinangag-itlog (uniquely dubbed as lon-si-log); classic bacon and eggs; rich blueberry muffins packed with fresh blueberry fruits; and the comfort food kesong puti with basil as a twist. Caf by the Ruins serves breakfast from 7:00 a.m. to 11 a.m. daily. CAF SABEL OF BENCAB MUSEUM. After strolling around Session Road and Burnham Park, head to the BenCab Museum for lunch and cultural sightseeing. Located at the lower third level of the BenCab Museum, Caf Sabel offers healthy and interesting food choices such as farm fresh green salad with strawberry vinaigrette, carrot and pumpkin soup, carrot and ginger soup, tomato basil pasta, basil pesto pasta, chicken paprika, tuna with pineapple panini, strawberry shake, cucumber cooler, and a selection of herbed teas. Coffee lovers should also try BenCabs Brew, which is freshly brewed from native Arabica coffee beans. After lunch, and with a full tummy, its time to explore the various levels of the BenCab Museum and see intricate Ifugao sculptures and learn about how life was in the Cordilleras centuries ago. The museum also has an extensive collection of Mr. Ben Cabreras paintings. CHOCO-LATE DE BATIROL. Merienda time is best spent at a quaint little caf tucked in a garden near Camp John Hay. If its drizzling at noon time in Baguio, sipping hot chocolate from a mug can feel quite heavenly, while chit chatting with friends or reading a book. One can do this at Choco-late de Batirol. They serve sumptuous comfort food to customers seeking refuge from the citys cool weather. The old and young alike will love their traditional hot tsokolate for its distinct tablea flavor that is not cloyingly rich and sweet. Other hot chocolate drink selections in the menu include Baguio blend (made with strawberries), cinnamon, almond, Cointreau or orange-flavored liquer, Kahlua, and choco mallows. Lovers of cold chocolate drinks will love the cafs flavored variations of ice-cold tsoko-
late. Snacks such as suman sa latik, bibingka and turon de langka are great accompaniments to their hot chocolate during particularly cold and rainy days. Choco-late de Batirol also serves unique breakfast fare such as longganisa Vigan and tocino kalabaw. It likewise serves a variety of local dishes such as dinuguan, paksiw na lechon, beef caldereta and boneless daing na bangus. TE QUIERO TAPAS BAR AND RESTAURANT. An evening in Baguio can be magical at the in-house restaurant of Microtel Inn and Suites by Wyndham. Te Quiero as the restaurant is called, is Spanish-inspired and serves a wide variety of Western and Asian dishes. Te Quieros menu explains that a tapa is originally a small plate or bowl containing a few nuts, olives, cheese or ham, served with wine, beer, sherry or wine, either as a snack or as an appetizer. Nowadays, the range of tapas has become more varied as reflected in Te Quieros menu. The restaurant serves cold tapas specialties such as jamon serrano, salami mixto, and picante salchica y queso de cabra. Their hot tapas bestsellers include salpicao de carne de vacuno, caldereta de cabra, and callos a la madrilna. Te Quiero offers a tapas buffet during their tapas nights every Friday and Saturday at 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. An acoustic band plays on these nights and why not order a bottle of very cold beer or a glass of Spanish wine while relaxing and enjoying the music. The great selection of flavourful finds in Baguio City would surely satisfy the craving of any foodie who visits the city. And for the seasoned road traveller, the best way to reach the City of Pines is through Victory Liner, which has been consistently providing safe and reliable bus transportation to Baguio City and other places in Northern Luzon for 68 years now. As part of its superb service to passengers, Victory Liner also provides free Wi-Fi connection in its buses, apart from many other conveniences and comforts.

ecently, social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter were abuzz with news of the Japanese government granting ASEAN countries like Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines visa-free entry to Japan. It turned out the news article was a hoax. Only Thailand and Malaysia were granted the coveted visa-free status. What the Philippines got was a multiple entry visa privilege valid for three years. Japan-loving Pinoys were heartbroken. Dreams of shopping in Tokyo and smelling cherry blossoms were shattered. But the Embassy of Japan in Manila says, not just yet. Not only have we eased up visa requirements to Japan allowing Filipinos multiple-entry for tourists, the depreciation of the Japanese Yen to Philippine Peso has also made traveling to Japan more affordable. Its not as expensive as it used to be, shares Kiyoshi Takeuchi, Japan Information and Culture Center director of the Japanese Embassy in Manila. According to Takeuchi, for the longest time, steep travel expenses have discouraged many Filipino tourists in traveling to Japan but that is quickly changing. Our Prime Minister ShinzoAbe advocated a new economic policy called 'Abenomics,' and one of its pillars include easing up visa policies and reducing real interest rates significantly weakening the yen to boost exports and tourism, Takeuchi explains. This mandate aims to encourage a bigger demand of outbound tourists from fast growing countries like the Philippines. Based on recent statistics, tourist arrivals to Japan from the Philippines have increased to 12.5 percent in 2012. Meanwhile, tourist arrivals from Japan to the Philippines also went up by 9.8 percent on a yearly

called out to the tigers and the lions answered me. In the first hour of a sunny but freezing South African winter morning, I could see nothing but endless tall grass and dry scrub. But I know that somewhere out there, two almost half-ton Bengal tigress sisters, Ronnie and Roxie, must be crouched, watching. So, I summoned them, the way one of their big striped kind would: Ngawooooo! Ngawooo! Nina, Freddie and Shamba, the

Their amber eyes fixed on me as if they understood each word. Both grunted in acknowledgement each time I paused. Strange how Ronnie looked like Dao, minus the black boomerangshaped stripe above her brow. After our chat, we just sat in companionable silence, gazing out at the Waterberg Mountains in the horizon. Odd to see the morning through her eyes. Ronnie lifted her head to track the spotted hyena skulking about in the other enclosure. Then a crested bird cackled and flew low, prompting her to launch herself over ten feet, straight into the air. Roxie scrambled after her but both returned empty handed. I broke off a twig and offered it to them as a consolation. Ronnie latched on to it with her teeth like a playful cub and ran off, Roxie in hot pursuit. I sighed. My time with them was too short two weeks my fifth wildlife volunteering stint in five years. Its my first visit to South Africa too, so I thought its only fitting to serve in the land of the lions I loved. So far, Ive been owned by five lions and 50 tigers. Ronnie and Roxies home, the three-year old, 50-hectare reserve located a few kilometers from the Marakele National Park in Thabazimbi (Steel Mountain), Limpopo, houses 13 white lions and five golden ones. Owner, Mike Hodge, has been breeding lions for the past nine years.
Mia and Spirit
that fence first time they put her in at Marakele Predator Park and got the shock of her life. Nonetheless, she risked getting electrocuted again because she wanted to kiss me. Allowing myself to be smooched by a strange tigress captive-raised among lions, I risked getting my head bitten off, in turn. The sisters have cut their fangs on humans even before they were even half-year olds and never bonded with any twolegged carers as adults. But without hesitation, I touched my lips to Ronnies wet orange nose, chuffing all the time, breathing in her scent as she took in mine. Because no one shampooed and bathed her daily, as I did with my Tiger Temple darlings in Thailand, Ronnie smelled like goat, as a wild tigress should, with faint overtones of the African veld grass and dust she rolls in and her twice-weekly, raw, chicken meals. Our greetings over, the huge Bengal lay down before me, as my favourite Temple tigress, Dao Ruang and my blind Sairung, once did. I felt a tightness in my throat. Until this moment, I never realized how much I missed my first tigers. Then Ronnies shy sister, Roxie, who sports a coin-sized black spot on top of her nose, slinked out of the bushes to join our tete-a-tete. Roxie head-butted her big sister, chuffing, before padding over to where I sat. She glanced at the wires between us and greeted me in the same manner then sprawled down alongside Ronnie. I told them about the tigers who owned me before we met, how Sairung greeted me each morning, how Dao curled up with me each night.
Baby face Nina
The tigers, including a white Bengal yearling named Spirit, were a bonus, as well as the caracals, a cheetah and other exotics, from hyenas, black-backed jackals, monkeys and birds to domestics cats, dogs, chickens and bunnies. Mike engaged in trading in England but relocated to South Africa 14 years ago with wife Krissy, a hairdresser-turned shop-owner and their children, Emma and Tom, to pursue the passion of his life: lions. So far, he has been owned by at least three generations of them. His first lion, Nina, who now lives opposite the tigress sisters, was queen of his household until she grew too big. Nina slept in Mikes bed, washing his face and giving him a spit-bath at 3 a.m. She hid under his couch when he tried to evict her to live outdoors like a proper lioness when she was one and a half. However, the family car remained as her property. She occupied the front seat on game drives and rode on top of their Rover whenever they took it out. Thats how they came up with the Lion Mobile. They tied dead chickens to a cage on wheels, where they locked in
Emma with her lion Napoleon
visitors before driving inside the enclosure Nina shares with their two hand-raised males, Freddie and Shamba. Nina would jump on top of the vehicle and devour the chickens while her mates scrambled over whatevers left. Through the steel mesh and flying poultry feathers, visitors snapped away close-ups of her as she ate, jolting and bouncing, over their heads. Next to the lions resides Sabu chief in Swahili, a four and a halfyear old cheetah, raised like a son by his human family. I purred as I approached Sabus enclosure and he purred back, loud as a motor. The gate of his pen is not electrified, so I scratched his whiteflagged ears through the wires and he licked my hands with gusto. If he keeps at this for long, hed draw blood, I thought, ruefully, but didnt have the heart to stop him. Ive had lions, leopards, tigers, lynxes and cougars, rasping my hand with their tongues but Sabu was the first cheetah I ever met. Hes got the roughest tongue too, of all the exotics I encountered, meant to clean flesh off the bones of his prey. Mercifully, Sabu gave me five licks and bounded away, goading me to race him round his territory. Of course, even if I were an Olympic sprinter, I could never outrun a cheetah, who clocks 90 kilometers per hour. Next, I said hello to Levi, the caracal who was raised with the Hodges Jack Russel dog, and his wild mate. He rubbed his cheeks against the wire mesh, soliciting petting and nibbled my fingers. Then I broke off a twig as a toy for Mia, the white yearling lioness who lives with Spirit, a white Bengal tiger of the same age. They have hit it off and the Hodges hope they will produce tigons together. Mia came running to me but Spirit shoved her away, chuffing at me,
touching his pink nose to my face and kissing my hand. I played with them until I sensed someone sneaking up behind me and turned to face Freda, the parks largest white lioness, named after the owners own mom and her white mate, Mak. They were supposed to be the meanest pair in the park but both made no aggressive move when I approached. They walked with me companionably until I reached the next enclosure which held seven lions, all white save for one golden male, Solo. Tula, the five-year-old spirit lioness, came to me first, the day I arrived. On her heels followed raggedeared Lily and her sister, Leah, who had one ear smaller than the other. Then half-wild Tabitha, the youngest of the pride, with Cleo, a yellowishwhite lioness who had been savaged by dogs as a cub. Then Sledge marched in trailed by Solo. In a matter of minutes, I was halfencircled by the pride, checking me out, shoulder to shoulder, their curious faces an inch away from my own with just the wires between us. I sat before them and introduced myself. After awhile, they drifted off, except Tula. She was always the first of the pride to greet me and the last to leave. But today, she didnt move as she lay under a tree at the center of the enclosure. A white bundle of fur moved against her underbelly while another crawled a few feet away, yowling. Unknown to everyone, she gave birth to two white cubs in the night. But now, the cubs have to be pulled out fast, before the pride kills them. My steps quickened to a run. I need help from the camp.

Text by NOEL F. DE JESUS
anila is an old city whose core, the Walled City of Intramuros, was built by the Mexican conquistador Miguel Lopez de Legaspi in 1521. However, he died three years after its plans were drawn up. His tomb can be found in Intramuros inside the San Agustin Church, a popular tourist destination in itself. Having been made the capital of two colonial masters Spain for more than 300 years and America for half a century Manila evolved into a unique metropolis. The Philippines is a tropical country but the buildings adorning Intramuros streets were made of stones and meant for a cold country. Because of its Old World ambience, Manila was dubbed the Paris of the East. Manila was already a popular tourist destination even as early as the 18th century. Manila was readily accessible by galleon, and later by steamship, from Europe and the Americas. European tourists noted in their journals the beautiful Filipino women, the clear waters of Pasig were the Manilans bathe and the beautiful sunset of Manila Bay. After the war, practically all the vintage Spanish buildings in Intramuros, including those erected during the Commonwealth period, were destroyed. Intramuros and its environs like Ermita and Malate lay in ruins. Later, however when the Philippines regained its independence, these buildings were restored.
The government started rather late in developing the tourist industry. It was only during the 70s that a serious effort was made to promote tourism. Serious efforts to develop the physical facilities of Manila started only with the ascension of Jose Lito Atienza as mayor in 1998. His Buhayin ang Maynila, program has restored Manilas status as the countrys foremost tourist destination. Manila is unique in that its tourist attractions are located near each other in a contiguous area. One has to begin with the Luneta (little moon in Spanish). This area which used to be called Bagumbayan (new town) is the site where the national hero Dr. Jose Rizal was executed. The Rizal monument, designed by Italian Carlo Nicoli and executed by Swiss Richard Kissling, was built in his honor in 1913. Manila Bays seawall has been transformed, with lights and new pavements and a statue of former mayor Arsenio Lacson. Once the turf of vagrants, it now hosts the whole families jogging or even, gasp, fishing in the still murky waters. Manilans are lucky that the Manila City council passed an ordinance in 1992 banning the reclamation of Manila Bay and outlawing the construction of buildings along it, thus avoiding the fate of the neighboring Pasay and Paraaque cities which lost the sea and the famous Manila Sunset, when it allowed the reclamation of its portion of the Bay.

(BSP) is the Manila Yacht Club with its colorful sailboats. A few meters away stands the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), built in 1966 by former First Lady Imelda Marcos. Just east of the bay are Ermita and Malate districts. Once the enclave of Manilas elite, they would gain infamy as a sin belt, but are now thriving entertainment and restaurant rows. Further down is Paco Park, a round-shaped cemetery with a chapel. The remains of Dr. Jose Rizal were temporarily buried there after his execution. North of the tourist belt are old buildings built by the Americans in neoclassical style. The Manila City Hall, built in 1939, is famous for its tower with four giant clocks. The Agriculture, Finance, Legislative, and Post Office are nearby. The Agriculture building now houses the Department of Tourism, while the Finance and Legislative buildings are now occupied by the National Museum. The Post Office, considered the most beautiful of the four, still houses the central postal service. It looms over the rehabilitated Plaza Lawton, now Bonifacio Plaza. Across is the Metropolitan Theater, also built during the American occupation. Beside the Post Office is the National Press Club, which has a fine restaurant and a very beautiful view of the Pasig from its windows. Intramuros has the Manila Cathedral and the San Agustin Church which has a notable museum, a
must-see for local and foreign tourists. Nearby are the Colegio de San Juan de Letran and the Manila Bulletin Publishing Corporation. Fort Santiago is historically important because it was here where Rizal was imprisoned. In the stone house where he was detained can be found some of the heros memorabilia. Across the Pasig River are Escolta and the Binondo business district. Eastward is Quiapo, known mainly for its church, now Basilica Minore, which shelters the countrys most famous religious icon the Black Nazarene. And one of its fervent devotees is the Pambansang Kamao and world-boxing icon Manny Pacquiao. He always passes here to pray every time he returns home from a world bout. Every year, on January 9, the feast of the Nazarene, a behemoth procession is held where devotees fight for a chance to touch the statue believing that by touching it their wishes will be granted. Across is the Muslim Golden Mosque. Fronting the Basilica is the Plaza Miranda, which used to be the primary arena for politicians. Its now elegant plaza where one can buy flowers and have his fortune told by fortunetellers. One will also find all species of cure-all herbs. Eastward, if one takes a jeepney with the San Miguel signboard, he will be brought to Malacaang, the official residence of the President of the Philippines. Northward is the San Sebastian Church now basilica minore, the only pre-fabricated steel church in the world. And by
the way, what do the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty and the San Sebastian basilica have in common? They were all designed by Gustavo Eiffel, a German 19th century structural genius. Records at the Libraries of Congress in Washington and of the Centre Georges Pampidou in Paris attest that Eiffel designed a knock-down all-steel church for the Philippines. And perhaps fewer still know that the motif closely identified with the Eiffel which greatly influenced the basilicas arabesque and skyward spire means superiority and freedom, a dual symbol also present in the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower of Paris. Unlike the San Sebastian basilica, the other two steel towers have become symbols of freedom and national pride. Their historical value has also been marketed as a tourist come-on. Every piece in this all-steel basilica was fabricated in Belgium and assembled in the Philippines in 1891. Farther north is the worldfamous University of Sto. Tomas which celebrated its Quadricentennial (400 years) last year the oldest in Asia-Pacific and 34 years older than Harvard, the U.S. oldest university. The Japanese converted it into a concentration camp where allied prisoners were kept during the war. Fortunately, it escaped American bombings and its buildings (the first earthquake-proof one in the country) and facilities, including its famous tower topped by a cross, can still be seen and enjoyed today.

ico de Loro Cove is the first 37.5-hectare coastal community to rise in the Hamilo Coast that advocates an active coastal lifestyle. Eight midrise, low-impact condominium buildings along with an exclusive Beach and Country Club, and Pico Sands Hotel, comprise Phase I of Pico de Loro Cove. Believe me, I was almost about to leave when I finally understood the logistics of such a huge land and sea area, with facilities dynamically positioned all over the place.
Residential Community Growing up, the dream was always to have that beach house. Then we realize as we get older that maintaining a house out of town, not to mention soaked in weather exposure, is not that easy. I then think it is a novel idea of Pico de Loro to put up midrise condominiums that meet the desires, as well as practical issues, of aspiring beach residents. Pico Sands Hotel If one doesnt feel the need to own a unit, membership allows for a good stay at their 154-room hotel.

There was a good choice of natural materials in furnishing the rooms, in a soothing palette of seashell whites and sandy creams, overlooking either lush mountains or a calming lagoon. Everything just looked so clean and relaxing! Convenience is also a priority in this place as the hotel also has its own restaurant and bar open 24/7, and the Rain Spa is also located there. Modern amenities include cable TV and Wi-Fi access in each room, too. I think theyve got everything covered for all guests who are looking for relaxing weekends! Beach and Country Club They say that this is Pico de Loro Coves centerpiece amenity and I can see why. In both places, the beach and country clubs respectively, their caf and restaurants serve delicious food. Moreover, the variety of activities just has something for each and every member of the barkada or family. Water sports galore, as well as ATV rides and nature trekking; then there are those well-designed pools, and courts for volleyball, basketball, badminton and even squash! And if in case you are not the athletic or adventurous type, theres also the bowling and billiards hall, as well as every Pinoys favorite: videoke rooms equipped with the latest songs and equipment!
I could have stayed there all afternoon. It was just so relaxing!
Pico de Loro Cove has the usual condominium cuts of one, two, or a three bedroom suite.
Santelmo Cove But by far, my most favorite part of my trip to Pico de Loro is reaching this piece of heaven on earth. Hamilo Coast apparently owns quite a long stretch of hidden coves (they have a total of 13 coves!), oh those quiet corners, and Santelmo Cove is one of them. Perhaps like us, one can arrange for a savvy lunch at the Santelmo Cove, and bum around in the beach before it hits high heat in the afternoon. I tell you, I didnt want to leave anymore! Those big, fluffy, pillows and hammocks were absolutely amazing amidst the sun, breeze and rustling of trees protecting us from
direct sunlight. If no one called out for us to board the boat back to our hotel, I would have read the day away in the refuge Santelmo Cove offered. Rarely do clubs impress me, and I am always cynical about high priced membership fees but I must say that Pico de Loro Cove has won my heart. There is an excellent structure built for the all natural fun and convenience of all guests, and now soon to be a mom, I regard it as a great option for family investments.

and prayer. We stayed long after the inaugural mass, snacking on Glenda Barrettos Via Mares delicious picapica. We learned that there are masses daily at 12:15 p.m. and 5 p.m. and on Sundays at the same hours too. *** Senator Cynthia Villar was met by pretty peach colored roses in clusters arranged artistically at the Sofitel lobby last Tuesday. And down in the Davao room, at our forum, Bulong Pulungan, we presented the new senator with a bouquet of peach- colored roses too! No, we didnt plan it with the hotel florist, it was just a serendipity moment of a happy coincidence for us! Pragmatic Cynthia does not have too many expectations in her new role as senator, she candidly confided to the forum members. I have had nine years doing legislative work in the lower house, so more or less, I know what being a lawmaker entails. This means she has began her term running, filing five bills (the new senate protocol, she explained, decrees that each in-coming senator file only five bills at the start of the session, 10, later, and so on) close to her heart (and to ours too). The bills can simply be summed up thus one creating an OFW department which will consolidate agencies working for the benefit of our new heroes; to help agriculture progress and its workers prosper as she believes the sector is still the biggest in the country and needs help fast; incentives for manufacturing sector and investment programs that can generate jobs and business; education and women economic empowerment. Senator Villar knows how hard it is to establish a new department because of budgetary needs and support

Wherever God puts us, that is our vacation. It isnt what we do, but how much love we put into it. St. Mother Teresa
akati has a new chapel that should be an additional center of spirituality in the business hub. This is the chapel of Our Lady of Mother of Hope, and it is right in the middle of shopping malls and business addresses. The beautiful chapel which can accommodate 900 devotees was blessed last week by Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle who also installed Fr. Jun Sescon as the supervising priest. No, Fr. Jun is not abandoning his flock at the Greenbelt circular church. He will serve both chapels with two priest assistants. The chapel is on the fifth floor of the Landmark department store and can be reached by an elevator inside the store at the ground floor. It was an open deck before Teddy Keng and his family decided to build a spiritual haven there. It is air-conditioned and has the most comfortable pews in Metro Manila! Honestly, you will stay on your knees with the padded, spaced-right pews and guess what you can park your bag in your kneeler with its big space!

from colleagues both in the House and in the Senate. But Rep. Mark, her son, will be her partner in pushing for the creation of an OFW department that is designed to address the concerns of the sector which helps keep the countrys economy afloat with their remittances. She is in no hurry to compete with the other new senators, because she has her work ahead of her planned along her concerns and advocacies, too. She announced the opening of an intensive, nationwide search for working livelihood projects which the Villar Foundation can document and hopefully make available to any community who cares to have a tested model to work with. I am excited to discover other empowerment and livelihood success stories so we can share them with those who want to learn and start their own enterprises. I want to go
forward from just purely training and then those who have been trained turn out to have no market access! Cynthia emphasized the use of technology in agriculture, livelihood, trade and empowerment activities. Our workers and entrepreneurs have to improve their knowledge of new technologies to grow and prosper, she emphasized. The search for successful developmental projects is called SIPAG (Industriousness) and nominations are accepted by the Villar Foundation until August 2. The grand awarding of the winners with big cash prizes will be held in December. Cynthia is excited about the marketing possibilities of a technology turning waste plastic bags, sachets, etc. into school desks. This was developed by a young inventor and while it still has to be refined so the desks can be lighter in weight, Cynthia is
convinced the new technology will help the environment and the education sector. Complimented on her flattering slim figure, she laughed it off, saying that the tiring campaign made her skip meals or else eat sparingly. By the time the campaign was over and she could relax and go back to eating normally again, she said: my stomach was used to me eating sparingly, so I could no longer eat heavy meals! How was hubby senator Manny? How is he taking his private citizen and spouse of a senadora role? Oh, he is enjoying private time and taking care of business. He has always been supportive of me. And he knows what this job demands of me. And how was she and the president during their sorties? Oh, he was very nicehe would offer me popcorn during our joint sorties Cynthia answered. And what would she be wearing at the presidents State of the Nation Address? Well, Cynthia will be tapping her cousin, well known veteran designer, Nollie Hans for her Filipiniana gown for the event. Nollie is popular for his exquisite hand embroidery and beadwork on pia cloth and other native materials. The senadora was inundated with complaints about the newly-passed Kasambahay Law which hardly anyone understands or agrees to. Cynthia calmly answered the questions thrown her although she pointed out, she had nothing to do with the drawing up of the controversial law. Typically Cynthia, she came up with the Implementing Rules and Regulations of the law and promised to reprint these two documents for all of us. And she promised to bring our complaints to the concerned agencies.

Championship Point viewed from the low er stands
hy not go monster hunting this summer vacation? And why not go for what many consider as the worlds most famous monster; one that is more likely than others to really exist? So our family set out on a 10,600-kilometer expedition, crows flight, to Inverness in Scotland to look for the Loch Ness Monster. The trip was actually a little longer, A380s flight. We could have chosen a closer port of entry such as Manchester, but wanted to cross out the latest addition to a travel bugs bucket list to ride the biggest bird in the sky. The 500-plus-seater Airbus lands in London. And the British capital had to be done anyway since it is the wife and kids first time in the UK. Surprisingly, the fare on the superjumbo (by an Asian carrier) was the lowest among promos offered at a travel fair last February. Economies of scale at work, I suppose. To u c h d o w n o n a n A 3 8 0 a t Heathrow Airport was a travel achievement in itself; a savory crowning moment in big-league traveling. I remembered the first words I uttered as a young man stepping for the first time on English soil Cant believe Im in the land of Benny Hill (guess my age and mindset). That is why I got glassy-eyed when I heard the boys, upon landing, say Cant believe Im in the land of Mr. Bean. How heartwarming. Chips off the old block, as they say. Ah, merry ol England; where Middlesex is a place and not an LGBT term; where Marmite - that quintessential British bread spread only they could love will forever be in store shelves. Marketed as love
it or hate it, the yeast-based thing is so repugnant, a North African boat refugee seeking asylum in the country would choose to go back to where he came from rather than pick up an offer for refuge on condition that he regularly eat Marmite. With first-timers in tow, we went through London 101. I am skipping the basics (you know them already) and the requisite Stonehenge farther out and tell you about some draws I have not seen in London tourism articles of late or at all. Platform 9-3/4 We had planned to take the Hogwarts Express from London, but something was wrong with Platform 9-3/4. The luggage would go only halfway through the brick wall. At Kings Cross Station, where rail scenes of the first Harry Potter flick were filmed, Warner Bros. set up a photo op for that memorable segment, complete with trolley and Hogwarts muffler. The term milking the wall should make it to the Oxford Dictionary pretty soon. From the few times we traversed the station, it appears that the impressive queue is all day, everyday. Wembley I had been to big events (Superbowl XIX; LA Olympics Opening Ceremony) but I must say being among 80,000+ in an England vs. Ireland football game (score 1-1) at Wembley Stadium was intoxicating, literally. It was impossible to find a sober England bloke. Not to be outdone, the Ireland lads had to crawl their way back to the tube station after the game. Everyone remained jolly good in that mega party. We got tickets from the official website TheFA.com two months
ahead. The entire process, including ticket pick-up onsite, was hitch-free. If there happens to be a game when you are there, go for it. Being part of a humongous explosion of passion when a goal is scored in top-rank European football is incomparable. Just hope and pray, as we did, that the score is not 0-0. Wimbledon You do not have to be a sports enthusiast to enjoy Wimbledon, easily accessible via the tube. If there were a listing of World Sports Heritage Sites, it would probably come up on top. The short walk from the tube station through suburban greenery is refreshing. Strawberries (big ones) and cream, Wimbys signature treat, are waiting for you on the grounds. The tour and updated museum, with interactives and a 3D show, are smashing. If your trip coincides with The Championships, try your luck in getting tickets. I was fortunate sometime ago to have watched the Gentlemens (not Mens, excuse me) Singles Finals Boris Becker vs. Stefan Edberg from the lower stands. I was able to take a prized photo of championship point - a split second after Beckers ball hit the net to fall on his side, with Edbergs knees still on the way down to touch the grass in jubilation. Afternoon Tea We w e r e s u p p o s e d t o t a k e afternoon tea at the citys most famous hotel the superlative Savoy Hotel. Constrained by space, lets just say it is the Manila Hotel of London. Winston Churchill frequently took his associates to lunch there. As walk-in customers, we were told that a reservation is a must since they are always fully booked 1-2 months in advance. I ignored the booking facility at their website well before our trip, on the basis that as far as I know, there is always space for a walk-in for afternoon tea at The Peninsula Hong Kong the supposed best afternoon tea in this part of the world. Obviously not so in the land where this formal merienda originated and where it is imbedded

in the culture. Tea at the Ritz (Hotel, London) has become an inter nationally famous institution. There is even a book on it. But it is only a clone of the original from the Savoy. Cost is bearable - just a tad higher than the most expensive dinner buffet in Metro-Manila. Not bad for a one-time heritage outlay. I had intended to write a dedicated article on the repast, but not to be. Fine Dining For that fine dining splurge to mark your conquest/re-conquest of the UK, may I suggest dinner at the Tower Hotel at the foot of the iconic Tower Bridge. Scrumptious continental cuisine is paired with an intimate view of the illuminated bridge for that London feel-nafeel. For serious gourmands, you cannot go wrong with any of the Michelin-star restaurants. For those into pop-culture bragging rights, shoot for Restaurant Gordon Ramsay (3/3 Michelin stars). Based
on reviews, the food there is ****ing good. Remember to reserve way in advance. Theater As the London capper, we sat through what was aptly billed The Brilliant Original Phantom of the Opera at Her Majestys Theater off Piccadilly Circus. Indeed, it is the same venue where the blockbuster premiered (globally) in 1986 and has run continuously since. Each time that monster of a phantom disrupted proceedings onstage, my mind got distracted as well by an unsettling thought. The next day, we were on to the Loch Ness Monster. Enough of this diversion called London. We were ready for what we really came to Britain for . . . ready . . . for the phantom of the lake! *thunder and lightning sound effects together with Overture (music) from Phantom* (To be continued. I know you are saying The next one better be good. Gulp.

Kasambahay Confusion DOLE Wants Amendments

contributions of their kasambahay. She said the amendment should repeal a provision in the Social Security Service Law that makes back payments mandatory. The DOLE head agrees that the huge fees required under the Kasambahay Law discourage many employers from complying with the ongoing registration for their helpers. I think the law should not be applied retroactively, Baldoz stressed. E-CIGARETTES UNSAFE Both the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) have issued warnings against the use of e-cigarettes, battery powered devices that vaporize a nicotine laced liquid solution into an aerosol mist that simulate the act of tobacco smoking. They are urging the government to regulate the sale of e-cigarettes, citing cases where people who started using it ended up smoking the real thing. Dr. Susan Mercado, director for Building Healthy Communities and Populations of the WHO-Western Pacific office, said there was no proof that e-cigarettes are safe and could help people quit smoking. In 2010, the WHO organized a global panel of experts to review the evidence and there is no evidence to show that it can help you quit smoking, Mercado told reporters at a press conference. Mercado also pointed out that neighboring countries like Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia were already regulating the sale and use of e-cigarettes. The United Kingdom announced last week that it would start regulating e-cigarettes and other products containing nicotine as medicines. Last week, the Food and Drug Administration came out with a public warning against using e-cigarettes, saying they contained volatile organic substances harmful to ones health, like propylene glycol and carcinogenic metals like nickel and chromium. Many of these manufacturers do not disclose what is the content but we do know that it contains pure nicotine and it can actually create nicotine addiction, she said. KANEBO RECALLS WHITENERS Japanese cosmetics maker Kanebo is recalling 54 skin whitening products from all over Asia after complaints they caused discoloring that does not clear up even after use was discontinued. The recall affects Japan and 10 Asian territories: Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, the Philippines and Vietnam. The cosmetics contain a substance called 4HPB, a synthetic version developed by Kanebo of a natural compound, the company said. A company spokeswoman said some consumers complained that they had white patches on their skin after using the products. We suspect a link between the co nditio n and 4 HPB, " the spokeswoman said. The company has shipped a total of 4.36 million products in Japan and is recalling 450,000 that have already been sold to consumers, as well as all inventory from the domestic market. It will also recall products on sale abroad. A total of 370,000 items have been sent to overseas markets but at present it plans only to recall items that are on sale. Taiwan is the largest overseas market for the products, a Kanebo spokesman said. "The problem was initially thought to be a type of skin disease, but there was a growing concern for a link to 4HPB" which led the company to recall the products, the spokesman said. Here is a list of the recalled products: Brand: Kanebo Blanchir Superior (1) White Deep Clear Conditioner I (2) White Deep Clear Conditioner II (3) White Deep Clear Conditioner III (4) White Deep Milky Conditioner I (5) White Deep Milky Conditioner II (6) White Deep Night Conditioner I (7) White Deep Night Conditioner II (8) White Deep Mask (9) White Deep UV Day Protector Brand: Impress (1) IC White Lotion I (2) IC White Lotion II (3) IC White Emulsion I (4) IC White Emulsion II (5) Granmula Lotion Brand: RMK (1) Skintuner Brightening Light (2) Skintuner Brightening Moist (3) Intensive Brightening Essence
hile doing research at the Quezon City Hall of Justice, I met a group of women who were complaining that they were about to lose their jobs because of the new Kasambahay Law. They echo hundreds of similar cases aired on radio and television talk shows that paint a picture of utter confusion resulting from the passage of the Kasambahay Law, which took effect last month. It appears that many employers, who have been treating them kindly and fairly, cannot afford to comply with the SSS requirement that contributions be paid from the start of the kasambahays employment, and not from the time the law was enacted. According to some SSS interviews, there is a law passed in 1993 requiring that kasambahay and family drivers become SSS members. Confirming the hazy provisions of the new law, even the Department of Labor openly calls for amendments. In an interview with radio dzMM, Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said the department has received many complaints from employers who are now mandated to pay even the "back contributions" for the social security

recently had a very rejuvenating overnight stay at the newest high-end hotel in the South of Manila. My stay at the Acacia Hotel has got to be one of the most relaxing nights in the past few weeks. Acacia Hotel has been ranked as Trip Advisor's top 25 Luxury Hotels in its 2013 Travelers' Choice awards. The hotel has a great lobby, I must say. Towering glass walls adorn the facade and the interiors by Parrish Carlos especially in the hotel lobby caf have beautiful high back fabric chairs. The hotel has recently launched its high tea; a happy hour is also making the lobby lounge a hip place to be in. The hotel has 252 guestrooms with all the modern amenities a traveler like me needs. There was a fast wifi connection when I stayed at the hotel. I even had my own pillow case embroidered with my name on it, which I thought was a surprisingly good gesture from the hotel. The pillow is a memory foam pillow that improves the posture of its user.
Add to that the Acacia's fluffy goose down-feather and warm duvets for comfort that was beyond words. Just like Westin's heavenly bed, Acacia hotel has the dream bed. Each bed has its own orthopedic mattress that alleviates bodily tensions upon rest. Breakfast at the Acacia is something I looked forward to because of the array of morning goodness. Attentive waiters are on hand to give you the freshly made omelettes. The decor of the restaurant is a lively combination of creative prints in moss green and orange, and soaring glass surround the restaurant, giving a view of the busy streets outside. The culinary team of the hotel has earned medals and honors from the Philippine Culinary Cup and National Food Showdown, two of the most prominent competitions in the industry. The next time I am going to stay, I have to stay longer so I can use the fitness center and really enjoy the hotel. On my stay at Acacia, I made sure to have breakfast and at least dinner at the hotel. I had my fill of gastronomic proportions, and I slept like a baby. See for yourself what I am talking about.

Apl.de.ap Pays It Forward

By NR RAMOS
pl.de.ap wants impoverished Filipinos to have the same opportunity that enabled him to become a popular international musician. I grew up in Sapang Bato, Angeles, Pampanga, and I was given an opportunity, and thats why its really important for me to do the same, to give that same blessing, said he in a report on Bandila adding, Its time for me to give back.
APL.DE.AP
The rapper, one fourth of the hip hop group Black Eyed Peas, said that a big part of his endeavor is wanting to see fellow Filipinos being able to compete in the world stage. Im proud of my kababayans, and I want to see the youth of the Philippines to compete against the world, he said. And he walks the talk via the Apl. de.Ap Foundation that helps build classrooms in poor communities around the country. The 38-year-old artist believes that education can give people a means to escape poverty. With education, you can be anything, he said. It comes from experience with me having an education that led me to here, giving back and helping out others. He is pushing for the establishment of a music program for the youth where he plans to provide the same equipment that I use.

Just To Check Him Out

(Illustration by Rod Caalita)
group of friends (GF) went to an upscale club at the Fort. The popular club is often the melting pot of celebrities where they unwind and meet up with friends and fellow celebrities. When GF entered the bar, one of their companions, a girl (AG), immediately noted the presence of her crush, a popular hot actor (HA) who was with his friends having drinks. Feeling very excited, she told one of her male friends (MF) about it. Since GFs table was assigned next to where HA and his friends were, AG would occasionally glance at HA laughing and having fun with his friends. When AG saw HA stand up and head towards the mens room, AG requested MF to accompany her to that part of the club so that she can see HA in a brighter setting. When she lost sight of HA, she convinced MF to go in the mens room to check if he was there while she waited patiently outside. Meanwhile, in the mens room, the very eager MF could not find HA. He tried to look around but HA was nowhere to be found. Suddenly, he heard noise coming from one of the cubicles. MF got curious and tried to confirm his suspicion. Then voila, he could not believe what he saw two pairs of legs inside! You guessed it right HA was there with someone else. MF immediately went outside to the waiting AG to tell her what he found out. While talking outside, they saw HA come out of the mens room
Lets rewind a little and try to scratch the surface a bit. When SA parted ways with a leading actor (LA), it was rumored that her then relationship with DG caused it all. However, for reasons only known to them, SA and DG kept mum about the whole thing. In their interviews, and even when
their photos together were splashed all over social media, SA and DG were still in complete denial. Between the two of them, it was allegedly SA who loved more than DG did. But unknown to most, there were some issues that were slowly eroding SA and DGs relationship. Ironically, one of these allegedly involved a mysterious Third Party (TP) on SAs part. Several times, DG caught SA lying to him so that she could cover up her meeting with TP . Allegedly TP ,a middle aged wealthy businessman, got so smitten with SA and the two would meet up regularly. Reportedly, after each meet-up with TP , SA would text or brag to her friends that any moment, she would be purchasing several pieces of branded bags in one go. This bragging thing
happened many times which pissed off many of her friends. Yet unknown to SA, they already knew who TP was, the man behind her sudden shopping sprees. So many more of the same, and not long after - DG himself got wind of the mysterious man. DGs discovery of TP was rumored to be one of the reasons DG took her for a ride and dropped her like a hot potato sooner than expected. Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere.

Sen. Sonny Angara Is First To Thank The Entertainment Press For Their Help
ing the last stretch of the campaign, netted negative 3% to the detriment of the endorsed candidate. Meaning, the endorsed candidate even gets a deduction of 3% in public awareness when endorsed by this celebrity because although popular, the masses have low opinion of this celebrity. Real or imagined, thats what resulted in the particular study. Newly elected Sen. Juan Edgardo Sonny Angara was the first senator to host a thanksgiving luncheon for the entertainment press last Thursday at the Imperial Palace Suites of Mother Lily Monteverde in Quezon City. The press was so happy to know that Sen. Sonny didnt forget to thank those whom he believes helped him take the No. 6 position in the last senatorial elections. He said he is also happy to meet his showbiz friends again and hopes that this is going to be a regular affair in the years to come. For his first bill, Sen. Sonny is working on strengthening access to scholarship grants for deserving students who need the assistance of the government in order to pursue their college education. We are studying and researching on it now so that when Senate opens soon, we can do our part in making this into a law, he said. Sen. Sonny and wife Tootsy Echauz-Angara said they were not at all expecting that he will clinch that high-ranking position among winning senators when it happened. Gulat na gulat din po kami. And very, very thankful. Kaya po pagbubutihin natin ang trabaho natin sa Senate para doon sa mga naniwala sa ating kaof selecting the winner for this years competition.

And to all of you who took time to condole with us, either physically or via text or FB when he passed on last June 29, our heartfelt gratitude to you all from the bottom of our hearts.

Lee Min Ho Finds Pinoy Fans Passionate

By Marjorie s. Duran
orean superstar Lee Min Ho likens his Filipino fans to the beautiful islands of their motherland. First, they are passionate (Filipino) Maybe there are many beautiful islands (here that) reflect my fans, Lee Min Ho said at the recent press conference for his My Everything World Tour 2013 concert.
Shy guy Lee Min Ho at first couldnt imagine himself singing in front of fans but he now counts his album My Everything a gift to all of them
When I look at the Filipinos, they (look) very innocent, he quipped. Asked what sets Philippines apart from other countries he has visited, Lee Min Ho cited its sea, beach and sand. Aside from the beautiful islands, he sees femininity and romanticism in the Philippines. The actor-turned-singer has already visited Kuala Lumpur and Tokyo to promote his My Everything album which was released last May. He said that the Lee Min Ho recording is "a gift (Photo by Ali Vicoy) to the fans, all of whom he counts as his everything, from being a lover and a friend to being family. My Everything is a seven-song collection that includes Love Motion (the promotional song), Pieces Of Love, My Everything, My Little Princess, among others. Acting Vs Singing In serenading his fans in different countries, Lee Min Ho has realized the similarity and difference between singing and acting. (In singing and acting), I always put myself on a scene (But) when acting, its usually on TV and it takes a lot of time and I cant watch my fans, (while) in singing, (Im) onstage in front of the fans Note that the Hallyu star divulged in a previous interview that he has never imagined himself singing in front of someone because he was shy, and only got used to it now. He related that
the good thing about singing onstage is the immediate response he gets from fans, adding that the happiness is extraordinary Its really something. He revealed that although he can sing and act, dancing is not really his thing. Lee Min Ho shot to fame in 2009 through his lead role on the hit Korean drama series Boys Over Flowers, where he played the arrogant F4 leader Gu Jun Pyo. Lee Min Ho feels "honor(ed) to be attached to a global brand, Bench, which he is endorsing. The press conference ended with him saying, Mahal ko kayo. His 10city concert tour also includes Bangkok, Shanghai, Osaka, Hong Kong and the US.

SUSAN ROCES IN THE 21ST CENTURY: Before veteran actress Susan Roces plunged head-on to television work in a grand comeback a few years ago, she conducted a private dialog with herself. Looking at herself in the mirror, the Queen of Philippine Movies asked herself, What can you offer this time so that people will want to watch you? Susan replied, I am an actress. I want todays audiences to see me in a new light. I want to offer something new to both old and new followers. From Babaeng Hampaslupa to Walang Hanggan, Susan, as an artist, has trekked roads less traveled. For her new teleserye, Muling Buksan ang Puso, she travels (literally) four hours to the set in a rural, farming community in San Juan, Batangas. Susan plays a strong, motormouth authoritarian on Muling Buksan ang Puso, a role far detached from her sympathetic Lola Genia character on Walang Hanggan. Shes enjoying her Adelina role immensely as this TV family matriarch speaks her mind freely, openly, without pretension. Roles like this keep me going, Susan said. I am grateful that during my senior years, theyre finally coming my way. Susan was deprived of such heavy, dramatic roles during her heyday in the 1960s when her movies were limited to romantic comedies and light dramas. She never imagined that in this age, she could channel her star to much more demanding but also fulfilling projects. Adelina, she says, is the other side of Susan Roces and Lola Genia combined. ABORTED REUNION: Muling Buksan ang Puso would have
reunited Susan with her 1960s rival, Amalia Fuentes. Susan said she had looked forward to working anew with Amalia as it has been 45 years since they did their last film together, Cover Girls (1968). Amalias resignation from the show has opened a window for Pilar Pilapil, who has assumed the part. Susan says Amalia may have been culture shocked by the long hours poured into the shooting of teleseryes today but nonetheless looks forward to a different project with her in the near future. Muling Buksan ang Puso, which boasts a big cast composed of junior, senior and middle-ground stars, opens July 8 on ABS-CBN. Eight years after the death of her husband, FPJ, is she ready to muling buksan ang puso? Susan smiled demurely, said no, but warned nevertheless that she cant be speaking with finality. For the moment, she is content living her real-life part well. A woman full of grace and acceptance, she shows love in all her actions as she spreads joy and love to those around her. NEW TITLES FOR TELESERYES: On my Facebook page, newsman Miko Morelos wonders: Bakit ba puro sa puso umiikot ang mga teleserye? marami namang pwedeng parte ng katawan tulad ng hapdi ng sikmura, muling buksan
ang apdo, apoy sa baga, kirot sa pantog. Mikos post has fetched a lot of likes and a variety of comments, some of which we take the liberty to run in this space. Other exciting titles of prospective teleseryes as suggested by Mikos friends came up. Such as: Sakit ng Puson, Banil sa Alak-alakan, Nagliliyab na Siko, Nagpupuyos na Bumbunan, Nagbabagang Muta. JAPANESE FILM FESTIVAL: Catch a fresh harvest of award-winning and true-to-life films from Japan in the ongoing Eiga Sai the Japanese Film Festival as hosted once again by Japan Foundation, Manila in cooperation with the Embassy of Japan, lifestyle hub Shangri-La Plaza, and the Film Development Council of the Philippines from July 4 to 14, at Cinema 2 of the Shang Cineplex in Mandaluyong. The film fest kicks off with the screening of About Her Brother, a heartwarming story of the bond between two siblings. Other films set for screening include Always Sunset on Third Street, Confessions, Rincos Restaurant, Dear Doctor, Kamui, Castle Under Fiery Skies, Parade. For inquiries, log on to www. shangrila-plaza.com. BY THE WAY Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada appointing heritage worker Carlos Celdran as tourism consultant speaks well of his desire to clean up the city and transform it into a tourist destination. Intramuros and Binondo are just two of Manilas jewels that must be restored and preserved. However, walking tours within these two districts can only work if the places are rid of squatters and are safe. Imagine beautiful cafs lining the streets of these two districts at night.

Pinoy Apprentices Cherish Off-Cam Moments

By PAU AGUILERA
he series The Apprentice Asia (AA) may have been about contentious relationships and making big decisions, but Filipino contestants Jonathan Yabut and Celine Le Neindre admit that its the little things they did off cam that they value the most. Jonathan, 27, described his AA experience as feeling like he was back in my college days, having to live with people. I didnt even have a dorm when I was still in college, but the idea of doing things on your own ironing your own clothes, cooking your own breakfast, dinner and sharing that experience with the other contestants, I felt, was your luxury of time being away from the stress, he explained to select members of
the press during the The Apprentice Asias media session and viewing party for Episode 7 of the Asian reality game show. As example, Jonathan recounted, Gigising ka ng umaga, ubos na pala yung pizza, kasi may isang contestant na kumain na matakaw ; or, gusto mo nang maglaba, gusto mo nang gamitin yung washing machine pero may naglalabang iba. The recipient of the 2012 Mansmith Young Market Masters Award considers such things as the better memories of the show, explaining that despite the stress that you had, youre able to connect with these
people. He just regrets that these parts are not shown on TV, because whats shown there is the competi-
tive side. However, Jonathan noted that the fact those werent show made the moments more rare and precious; youll live for it. A Culture Thing As for Celina, she claimed that her AA venture, which was shot for about two months, was quite of a traveling experience. I love traveling, and I love food, and, what I picked up were the cultural hints here and there, she said. The 30-year-old culinary major, who started off in the South of France by washing dishes and scrubbing the toilets, also shared of what she was able to grasp, particularly in linguistics. For instance, she learned, Terima kasih means thank you in Malay, but the way they say it is I
accept your love. So its a very beautiful way of saying thank you. The culinary major appreciates the small culture thing(s), and acknowledges its importance, because for her it really shows how Asians have different and much older cultures. Some of our cast members would mention, Ah, its okay, la, you know the la, and Im like, Whats la? Oh, its like saying na lang, o sige na, so I kind of picked up those things, and I think that was the fun part for me. As for the food, a clearly exasperated Jonathan shared, Me, second week I was puking blood because everything was spicy. And Filipinos are not used to, I mean our definition of spicy is pepper, thats it, right? Sila, they have all these spices and that, for me, was an adjustment Food is the last thing you want to worry about.

Lock Of Mick Jaggers Hair Auctioned

ONDON (Reuters) An anonymous buyer snapped up a lock of Mick Jaggers hair for 4,000 pounds ($6,000) after bidders pushed the price to double its pre-sale estimate, auction house Bonhams said. The clump of hair was sold by the Rolling Stones former girlfriend Chrissie Shrimpton, who is also the sister of 1960s English model Jean Shrimpton and first met Jagger when he was still an unknown student at the London School of Economics. The hair, which comes in an envelope bearing the message Mick Jaggers hair after being washed +
trimmed by Chris at Rose Hill Farm, was sold on Wednesday to raise money for the Changing Faces charity, which works with people who have suffered facial disfigurements. A set of handwritten lyrics by British singer David Bowie for his
song The Jean Genie sold for 18,750 pounds at the auction where a guitar owned by rock group Led Zeppelins Jimmy Page also sold for 26,250 pounds alongside other music, film and entertainment memorabilia.
Jagger, who is due to turn 70 this month, was in fine form on Saturday as the Rolling Stones made their debut at Glastonbury music festival. The band is due to play again this weekend in Hyde Park as part of the British Summer Time festival.

HONORABLE MENTION. Kristoffer Martins list of acting nods has grown! He recently received Honorable Mention in the Best Supporting Actor category of the 16th Long Island International Film Expo in New York, USA for his outstanding performance in Oros. In a release from GMA-7, Kristoffer was quoted as saying, Happy ako kasi hindi lamang dito sa Pilipinas na-recognize yung film namin. It even won as Best Feature Film in Washington. Napakalaking blessing sa akin yung Oros kasi dahil sa pelikulang ito kaya ko nakuha ang first major award ko... sobra akong thankful. The awarding ceremony will happen on July 19, 2013. Oros tells the story of two brothers who conduct fake wakes to make money out of saklaan. Other films that starred Kristoffer were Sossy Problems and Tween Academy: Class of 2012.

Rob Kazinsky: Grin And Bare It

By ANNIE S. ALEJO
Gonzales, Alvin Enriquez. Kristo (Cine Suerte Productions and Oasis of Love Movement; released March 1996) The Mat Ranillo III-starrer portrayed the life and death of Jesus Christ. It also included appearances of Gabby Concepcion, Ricky Davao, Aga Muhlach, Amy Austria, Lorna Tolentino, Rudy Fernandez, Christopher de Leon, among many others, directed by Ben Yalung. Divine Mercy: Sa Buhay ni Sister Faustina (Cine Suerte Productions; released March 1993) Another Ben Yalung film, Divine Mercy: Sa Buhay ni Sister Faustina starred Donita Rose in the lead role as Catholic saint Sister Mary Faustina Kowalska of Poland. Also in the cast were Christopher de Leon, Liza Lorena, Paquito Diaz, Dexter Doria, Maila Gumila and Alicia Alonzo. Milagro sa Porta Vaga (Fiesta Films; released January 1982) Child star Julie Vega of the Mga Mata ni Angelita fame (1978), was cast in Milagro sa Porta Vaga. The film tells the true-to-life story of the miraculous Virgin of Our Lady of Solitude (also called Nuestra Seora de la Soledad de Porta Vaga, also called Reina de Cavite and La Virgen de la Soledad), the patroness of Cavite City. Himala (Experimental Cinema of the Philippines; released December 25, 1982, rereleased December 5, 2012) Nora Aunor s landmark film, Himala, tells the story of a barrio lass (Elsa, played by Aunor), who claims to have witnessed visions of the Virgin Mary, the reason she can perform miracles. The late director Ishmael Bernals famous work was restored in HD and premiered at the 69th Venice Film Festival before its local re-release on December 5, 2012. Its screenwriter is Ricky Lee. A musical was also staged in honor of Himala.
his years Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) proves that one need not wait for Lent to be able to watch a religious film in theaters. With the inclusion of San Pedro Calungsod: Batang Martir to the MMFF Magic 8, the festival will have a different feel, sort of a trip down memory lane. A lot of tributes have already been made for San Pedro Calungsod, a teen lay catechist from Cebu, but it would be an even greater treat to witness the second Filipino saints life story on the big screen. More, this could be the first time a holy offering is being pitted against more commercialized films in the annual festival. Here are other Pinoy religiousthemed films that were shown outside Holy Week: Lorenzo Ruiz (RJU Films; released October 1988) The life story of the first Filipino saint, Lorenzo Ruiz, starred Mat Ranillo III in the title role. San Lorenzo Ruiz was a layman who was martyred for his Christian faith. He was beatified by Blessed John Paul II in Manila on Feb. 18, 1981 and was canonized as saint on Oct. 18, 1987 in Rome. Directed by Maria Saret, Lorenzo Ruiz also had in its cast: Charito Solis, Dang Cecilio, Joco Diaz, Rose Ann

ritish actor Rob Kazinsky has done a lot of press lately. The West Sussex, England-born, Brightonraised recent Hollywood transplatee has just joined the cast of HBOs True Blood for Season 6, and things got a little more interesting with endless talks of nudity as if theres nothing else the US media wanted to ask. Yes, Kazinsky admits he would spend most of his time in Bon Temps apparently baring skin. Got that? Good. As the new half-fairy, half-human hybrid love interest of lead character Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), Kazinsky will be measured up against the formers many other loves in the series, including vampires Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer, Paquins real life husband, no less) and Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgrd), as well as werewolf Alcide Herveaux (Joe Manganiello). After Kazinskys initial misgivings about following in their footsteps, in his naked glory no less, recent reports have quoted him as saying that the more he lets it all hang loose, the more fun its actually become. When Bulletin Entertainment mentioned that the particular body part he described in his initial press interviews as glowing in the dark hasnt really showed up on his screen debut (Season 6s second episode), Kazinksy gave out a good-sized laugh. Enough of the grinning and baring; lets all move on, shall we? More than showing off his fine body which he buffed up for the upcoming Hollywood summer epic, Guillermo del Toros Pacific Rim Kazinsky has a higher purpose in the True Blood universe. Playing a fairy is not the most attractive kind of creature you would be playing in this show, says this hunky actor. However, there is a reason they cast me and not some 140 pound skinny guy Ive been given an opportunity here to add some complexity to the fairy, to make them slightly more intimidating more masculine. Thats the proposition that was actually very, very, very attractive; and the opportunity to kind of create the first fairy character that was worth being afraid of, he notes. With Season 6 already airing in the US it premiered across Asia on July 6 the shows longtime US fans have finally seen the much-touted meeting between Sookie and the nearly-leftfor-dead Ben Flynn (Kazinsky). When asked about fan feedback, Kazinsky replies, Yeah I mean I checked the message board I am that guy that actually looks for feedback. On the

Sangyaw Festival The annual Sangyaw Festival was conceived by then First Lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos in the early 80s to enrich the regions socio-cultural heritage and attract tourists to visit Tacloban City. Patterned after Kasaysayan Ng Lahi, the Sangyaw Festival announces Taclobans fiesta usually held every 29th of June in celebration of the peoples devotion to Sr. Sto. Nio de Tacloban. The festival was revived by Mayor Alfred in 2008, and last year, the organizers of the Sangyaw Festival led by the City Council Tourism Committee Chair Councilor Cristina G. Romualcombines physical CDs and digital downloads. Her single For Everything, recently chosen as Brgy. LS Most Wanted Song of the Week, will be the theme song of the upcoming Koreanovela My Daughter Seo-young. R&B Prince Kris Lawrence, meanwhile, explores love via his 12-track album Spread the Love from which the single Ikaw Pala is culled. This is the theme song of GMAs newest Koreanovela, Padam Padam. Still on love, check the album of the female-fronted act Persephone. Relatively new in the industry, the melodic trio showcases old-fashioned songwriting courtesy of its lead singer Barbara Jeanne. Released during the 2nd quarter of 2013 is Blanktapes Sanay Mapansin: Certified Ka-Pusa. Blanktape is of course behind the super hit songs Banana, Jejemon, Chika Lang Yon, Pechay and many more.

ACLOBAN CITY Former actress-singer Cristina KringKring Gonzales plunged unexpectedly into politics when she married Alfred Romualdez who became mayor of Tacloban City and when she was voted as councilor (No. 1 at that!). They are now on their third and therefore last term in their respective elective posts. So, is Kring-Kring going to seek for a higher position, maybe the mayorship of Tacloban, or is she going back to showbiz? This was of course the foremost question in the minds of the entertainment writers (led by Ms. Aster Amoyo) who were invited by the Romualdez couple to visit Tacloban recently, to attend Sangyaw Festival 2013, on the eve of the citys 124th fiesta celebration in honor of Sr. Sto. Nio de Tacloban. Kring-Kring made a name in show business as movie actress and singer and certainly showbiz will forever be close to her. So of course shed like to still be part of it even if she has embraced another career, which is in public service. She said that even now, she could go back to showbiz, but only for TV guestings or short stints in soap operas para naman di ako makalimutan ng mga tao. But will the husband allow her? It seems there wouldnt be any problem in this regard because Mayor Alfred expressed his support to whatever his wife would decide to do, as long as she knows her priorities. Alam naman niya ang gusto niyang path. Ang sa akin, alam mo ang purpose na binigay ng Diyos sa yo, alam mo ang talent mo at kung saan ka magaling. If you exercise your passion, you gain experiences in life but you have to know your priorities, especially we have two daughters. Its expected that when their term of office expires after three years, Mayor Alfred and Kring-Kring would be prodded upon to run for higher positions. But if Mayor Alfred would have his way, hed like that only one of

them would remain in public service. Because our daughters are growing up fast... (Their eldest Sofia has a very good singing voice according to Kring-Kring and shes now showing musical inclinations.) Mayor Alfred added that hed leave it to his wife to choose what shed like to do next. If I were to choose, it would be something that comes from her heart. If you choose something, it has to be with commitment to it and your family as well. Ibat-iba ang role natin habang tumatanda tayo, so you prioritize. With that, Im here not to stop her but to help her. Hindi naman ako naniniwala na pag nag-asawa ka, susundin mo na lang ang gusto ng spouse mo. Asked to assess Kring-Krings accomplishments as city councilor, Mayor Alfred said shes dedicated to her job and has strong inputs. She was instrumental in putting up the first shelter for battered women here in Tacloban. Malaking bagay yan. And her livelihood program really made a difference to the lives of our women constituents. To this KringKring added that under her livelihood program, they teach livelihood skills
like cosmetology, reflexology, cooking and baking, and other crash courses that are potential income-generating endeavors to the women of Tacloban. On how he balances his political and family life, Mayor Alfred said mahirap talaga. Kasi sa politics, nandun ka serving the people, but at the same time hinahanap ka ng mga anak mo. Kaya mas maganda kung isa na lang sa amin ang nasa pulitika at hindi na lang siguro kami magsasabay because habang lumalaki ang mga bata, lumalaki din ang mga needs nila, and in time mas sophisticated na ang needs nila. As to his accomplishments as Tacloban mayor, he said the mindset of my constituents, we broke so many traditions. Since I became mayor, we doubled our income, our city now ranks No. 6 in terms of good governance and transparency, our health program was acknowledged by World Health Organization, (and) before we only have four flights a day, now we have 16. By the way, the oath-taking of Mayor Alfred, Vice Mayor Jerry T. Yaokasin and the members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod was officiat-

MOVES LIKE JAEGERS. Director Guillermo Del Toro has a futuristic action adventure theme in Pacific Rim, starring Charlie Hunnam as an embattled Jaeger pilot. The story begins when legions of monstrous alien creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea to start a war that would take millions of lives and consume humanitys resources for years on end. A special type of weapon was devised called Jaegers in order to fight the giant Kaiju, but the enemy grows more powerful with each attack, and even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of Kaiju. As soon as the Jaegers started gaining the upper hand against the monstrous invaders, their heroic pilots became nothing less than rock stars to a grateful and adoring public. Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, Pacific Rim, will open across the Philippines on July 11 in IMAX 3D, Digital 3D, 2D and regular theaters.

E have to admit that before this 60 Minutes interview with Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) Director General Emmanuel Joel Villanueva, we werent exactly impressed by him. In fact, we even thought that he was one of those epal politicians who like to put their faces on billboards, newspapers or TV commercials. And that poster of him dressed in a barista outfit, we thought that that was for a show. So just imagine our surprise, before the start of the interview, when he offered us coffee, and even personally prepared it in front of our very eyes! As it turned out, since the Cabinet Secretary learned how to be a barista, he had been enthusiastically making coffee for his staff and guests whenever he has the time, just for the fun of it. As weve gotten to know more about him and his work in TESDA during the course of this interview, we didnt only realize that our impressions were wrong, we also had a change of heart. Sec. Villanueva says he took the Food and Beverage NC III course primarily because he was a coffee drinker and secondly, he thought it was the best way to promote his agency. Whether it worked or not though, we were convinced that TESDA has indeed, become the most popular agency today, judging from the hundreds of thousands of students taking various technical vocational courses at the main TESDA complex in Taguig, and in several tech-voc training institutions. Thanks to the huge global demand for skilled workers, many Filipinos have finally seen tech-voc in a different light, and the discrimination among blue-collared professions is gradually being eradicated. Clearly, all these are not just lip service for Sec. Villanueva who has the astonishing numbers, and matching success stories to prove it. In fact, these stories even had some of us wanting to take TESDA courses ourselves. According to him, 968,535 individuals were assessed while 830,458 were certified in 2012 in the various sectors such as agri-fisheries, automotive, construction, electronics, furniture, garments, maritime, ICT, metals and engineering, processed foods, tourism, and utilities. Last year, the employment rate of TESDA graduates was at 62.4 percent, based on the Impact Evaluation Study. In the Business Processing Outsource (BPO) industry alone, around 683,000 people were employed in offshore call centers in 2011. This year, the Business Processing Association of the Philippines estimates that around 926,000 will be employed. Villanueva says waiters and bartenders, meanwhile, represent 10.8 percent or 9,200 of average quarterly vacancies in the booming tourism sector. Overseas, the figures are even more overwhelming. As of this writing, he reports that there are 18,000 Filipino welders needed abroad. The excellent TESDA training and performance of its graduates have given TESDA an ISO STUDENTS AND CAMPUSES BULLETIN (SCB): With all the job opportunities awaiting technical vocational graduates, has the perception on tech-voc changed? DIRECTOR GENERAL EMMANUEL JOEL J. VILLANUEVA (EJV): Yes, that is what I want to believe. But of course, the figures and numbers dont lie. I think we were able to address that situation right now. Two years ago, 18 percent of our graduates were college graduates. Now, the number has grown. This means that after third year or fourth year college, they thought, Why do I have to finish my college degree when I can actually go to TESDA? Right now, I feel that its no longer just an option for them. Before, yun talaga ang ipinupush namin, yung may choice ka sa TESDA. You want to take up college courses, go ahead. But theres another choice, technical education. But as we go along, we are pushing this as a career path that they can take when they go into technical education or the skills development sector. The President signed the Philippine Qualifications Framework (PQF) last year which will harmonize all the curricula at all levels from DepEd, TESDA to CHEd. So its no longer a dream that someday, yung mga automotive mechanics for instance, will want to upgrade their skills and become engineers. Mate-take na nila yung mga units and equivalencies not just in TESDA but also yung work experience nila, masusukat na yun. So after a year or two, engineer na sila. I think the best people that can change the wrong perception of TESDA are its graduates. In Bukidnon, theres a true-to-life story of five friends. Lahat sila, HRM ang gusto. Nagcollege silang lima, pero yung dalawa nag drop after a year or two. Yung tatlo naging HRM graduates. Yung dalawa, naghousekeeping sa TESDA at nag abroad. Naiwan yung tatlo sa Pilipinas. Ngayon daw, yung tatlo na nag-graduate ng college, nasa Gaisano Mall working as sales ladies at maliit pa din ang mga bahay. Yung dalawa na umuuwi uwi para bumisita, malalaki na ang bahay. I think its very heartwarming to talk about these kinds of stories. Theres the 32-year-old vice president of a BPO company who is not a college graduate but only took a training module developed by TESDA. Theres this balut vendor from Antipolo who walks two hours every day to sell balut and then studies at TESDA. Now, hes a professor in Informatics Web Development Program. SCB: Before, finishing college was already such a big deal, and a major accomplishment. But now you said that some of the college graduates still take TESDA courses. Wala na ba yung perception na bakit pa magtetake ng TESDA kung nakapagtapos naman ng college? EJV: Kokonti na lang yan. Most of them are college graduates who want to work abroad and are required by the employers to have a TESDA certification. Yun ang most common ngayon kaya even engineers get assessment and certification from TESDA . If they dont pass the assessment, they take the training program. The certification of TESDA has become a passport for employment. And if youre employed already, you want to get certified, because now it is also being used as a basis for promotion, salary increases and all that. Even the Shortening Commutation Law sa correctional, sa Bilibid, if you take courses offered by TESDA inside the facilities, mababawasan yung years ng sentence nila.
9001:2008 Certification, making it the first education agency in the country to attain such distinction. Because of this, the TESDA training center in Taguig has opened its doors to field trips of high school students every Friday, as well as visits by foreign and local companies and institutions which are looking to partner or replicate its various innovative programs. This also explains why TESDA now plays an important role in the implementation of the K to 12 tech-voc specialization track. And through the real-life stories of Sec. Villanueva, its not just the students and parents who are now considering to take tech-voc courses instead of going to college, but also the college graduates who cant find a job in their field, and whose only ticket to a better job abroad is by taking a TESDA course and getting certified. I think the best people that can change the wrong perception of TESDA are its graduates. In Bukidnon, the were five friends who went to college. Yung dalawa nag drop after a year or two. Yung tatlo naging HRM graduates at naiwan dito sa Pilipinas. Yung dalawa, nag-housekeeping sa TESDA at nag abroad. Ngayon daw, yung tatlo na nag-graduate ng college, nasa Gaisano Mall working as sales ladies at maliit pa din ang mga bahay. Yung dalawa na umuuwi uwi para bumisita, malalaki na ang bahay, relates the 37-year-old TESDA chief, who admitted that he himself had never in his wildest dreams, considered taking a tech-voc career prior to his appointment in TESDA. But he has since been a believer after HOW OFTEN do you have a Cabinet seeing for himself the huge potential and Secretary such as TESDA chief Joel impact it has made on the lives of the people. Villanueva preparing and serving you Now, the Harvard University graduate of coffee? In our case, it may be the Business Administration would even be the first and last. first to defend tech-voc to anyone who would dare look down on it. Nung minsan, narinig ko sa kabilang table yung ale sabi niya sa anak niya, Magtech voc ka na lang, mag-TESDA ka. Hindi ko kinaya, nilapitan ko tapos sinabi ko, Maam, magkano sweldo ninyo? I know its a rude question but Im not interested to know. Alam niyo po ba yung TESDA graduate namin sa Australia, butcher po siya at ang starting salary niya in one year is two million pesos. Ngayon, sumusuweldo siya ng P250,000 a month. Yung welder namin sa Canada, P200,000. Sa tingin ko lang ho, yung words na tech-voc lang o TESDA lang dapat mawala na. Thank you Maam, Sec. Villanueva recalls as saying. In this 60 Minutes interview, the former three-term congressman of Citizens Battle Against Corruption (CIBAC) Partylist reveals more of the great prospects in tech-voc; the lessons he learned from his father, Jesus Is Lord charismatic leader Br. Eddie Villanueva; his shortlived basketball career; and why he will never allow anyone to degrade the carpenters, plumbers, welders and other blue-collared TESDA-certified workers whom he calls TESDA Specialistas. And by this, he has certainly earned our admiration and respect. (By Rachel C. Barawid) especially now that US opportunities abroad kasi President Barack dito, mababa ang salary.

So this agency has become situation for us once the K to 12 program very close to my heart.

natin, they go abroad. Even our own welders and trainers are being pirated abroad and hindi namin kayang imatch yung P200,000-250,000 monthly salary. Kaya kami ngayon, yung mga pinaglalagakan ng resources ng gobyerno, pinapipirma namin, may number of years na kailangan nandito ka at hindi ka puwede umalis. But the only way to solve that problem is to continue producing trainers and welders. I was just in QNA S (Quezon National Agricultural School) last week, nakausap ko ang mga welders and not one of them wanted to stay. All of them will go abroad because while training, may offer na sa kanila. SCB: Don`t you eventually see this as a problem later on, `yung brain drain? EJV Well, tinitingnan namin yun. Its a challenge for us but I think with the PQF and the K to 12 program, I think yun yung mag-address eh kasi makikita natin dun kung ano ba ang kailangan natin. We will never be able to control the decision of our kababayan to leave, especially kapag kailangang-kailangan talaga. What we can do is to keep producing quality workforce. I think the key to TESDAs success is that were being sensitive to the needs of the industry. We have a partnership with the industry. When we are aware of what they need, the skills requirement, may pupuntahan yung mga tao natin. For instance, the emerging industry right now is the BPO sector. Ang babata nila dun at makikita mo, ang laki ng career path. Yung mga vice president ng 50-million dollar companies, theyre just in their early or late 30s. Now, if youre a Filipino citizen, you want to go abroad pero may pamilya ka, tapos hindi naman ganun kalaki yung difference ng suweldo mo doon sa trabaho mo dito, at may career path din, siguro pipiliin mo mag-stay na lang eh, para hindi ka mawalay sa pamilya mo. Yung mga animators natin, they can work in their respective homes. Yung mga health information officers or medical transcriptionists, they now have 34 million clients after Obama signed the health care program in the US. Sa bahay lang sila nagta-trabaho at parang the more hours they spend working, yun ang basehan ng suweldo nila. The more clients they talk to mas malaki yung kinikita nila. SCB: Some people are saying that skilled workers like the welders take

group of 60 teachers are now studying Food Processing. But one big challenge that we will be facing is the assessment and certification because there arent so many assessors. Kaya ngayon, panay ang produce namin. We just launched our TESDA online program for students. In a few weeks, we will also come out with an online program for trainers. SCB: How many assessors do you need? EJV: I dont have the exact figures yet but yung DepEd ini-encourage din namin yung mga teachers nila na maging assessors. They can be assessors as long as hindi nila estudyante ang ia-assess. Ang kagandahan nito, yung mga secondary education students na ga-graduate ng high school, they can go straight to assessment centers na accredited. Yung mga assessors, puwede na sila magka raket. Puwede sila magpunta sa DepEd and they can work as teachers for three years without taking LET. But if they opt to teach in secondary education, they have to take the LET. SCB: Are you confident that you will meet the need by 2018? EJV: Yeah, I think so. The key here is the coordination of the DepEd, CHED, and TESDA. Its very critical. Ive been a congressman for nine years and Ive never seen the education sector working so close this way. SCB: For the senior high schools that have no tech-voc facilities, will the students be able to use TESDA facilities? EJV: Pino-profile yung mga lugar na yun kung ano yung mga tech-voc courses that will be offered. If it is an agricultural community then we focus on agriculture. DepEd can also do horizontal integration with technicalvocational institutions. Yung mga schools dun puwede mag offer. In fact, DepEd has the money to pay for it. The students can use their facilities or even borrow equipment. Scheduling lang naman yan. The lecture part sa eskuwelahan na. SCB: Some critics are saying that the National Certification is not important, and is actually a moneyFRUSTRATED BASKETBALL PLAYER SCB: Where did you get the interest in public service? EJV: It started with my dad who was a radical activist. Sa hapag kainan namin, democratic eh. My dad would encourage his kids to speak their minds. You can go against his ideas and debate with him. We love to talk about national issues. But I never intended to be involved in politics when I was a kid. SCB: So what did you want to become then? EJV: I wanted to be a basketball player. Thats why I played for UST and the national team of the Philippines in 1994 and 1995. I represented the country twice in international competitions. Not everybody believes me but I have proof (laughs). No one would think of me as a basketball player because of my height. Ive never been in a team na mas matangkad ako. SCB: So what happened? Bakit hindi kayo natuloy sa basketball? EJV: I was politicized eh. In my second year as a UST Tiger varsity player, I was part of the back-to-back championships. There was a time na the coaching staff decided that I would be in the injured list. Sabi ko, Im not injured, why would I be in the injured list when I played for the team the previous year? And nag champion kami, what is it really about? In his exact words, he said How can I say no to the mayor of a city. I will not mention the city na lang. Im being replaced because they had a commitment with the mayor of a city. That pained me a lot. Isang swimming pool ang iniyak ko dun. That was my ultimate dream, to be a basketball player, to play pro. Napakasakit yun, na sabihan ka na youre not good enough. So I decided to stop playing basketball. I went to the States. I got into Harvard. Since then, it has become my motivation. I wanted to prove to everyone na even though basketball is not for me, I will be successful in life. SCB: So you werent pushed by your father into politics? EJV: No. My dad will never push anyone. Even if you talk about faith, he will never push. He enrolled me in UST (laughs)! He wants you to learn by yourself, experience it. Thats one thing also I would like to share with my kids. Discover your talent, discover what you love. SCB: Ano yung nagustuhan niyo sa politics at nag-stay kayo? EJV: The impact that you can make. I grew up thinking that I cannot just live for the sake of existence. I wanted to make sure that I would have a legacy. Even before I joined politics, I go to these medical missions. You have three or four doctors, konting gamot, masaya ka na. When you became a

voc sector. The good thing about it is that we will be more focused on higher qualification programs because these will not be taught in high school or in senior high school. Tataas na kami para after nila mag-senior high, they dont just get a high school diploma but the TESDA national certificate if they pass the assessment. If they want to go to TESDA again, we will offer a higher qualification, kung Welding NC II na sila, dapat NC III or NC IV na which we dont actually do at this time. May mga NC III or IV courses din kami pero less than 20 courses lang. So right now, nandun ang focus namin but we cannot also leave behind the NC I and II courses. Why? For instance, you go to high school and you get beauty care. Natapos mo ang high school, you get a diploma and NC II ng beauty care ng TESDA. Nagtayo ka ngayon ng sarili mong negosyo because you dont want to go to college. True to life story ito. Ngayon, ang lakas ng salon mo at natutuwa ang mga kliyente kasi may kasamang konting masahe. Gusto mo nang gawin spa yung lugar mo. Gusto mo ring matuto ng massage therapy. So kung ganun ang case mo, you go to TESDA and take more NC courses. So gagawin din ng TESDA yung mga ini-offer ng DepEd sa basic education. SCB: So you mean you can also choose to concentrate on TESDA courses rather than finishing high school? EJV: Yes. Lets say after second year high school, nag-drop out ka pero gusto mo i-take yung massage therapy or beauty care kasi gusto mo magtayo ng salon. Hindi ka na babalik ng high school. You can go straight to TESDA and take that course. SCB: You were talking about the expected influx of more students, could you give us more concrete plans on how you are preparing for it? EJV: Right now, we are continuously training teachers from DepEd to teach tech-voc in the Technological Livelihood Education (TLE) subject. Tapos na ang 10,000 teachers sa training. Another
making scheme for the government. What do you say to that? EJV: No. I can answer that by bragging our ISO certification. Never in the history of this country na ISO ang education sector. First ang TESDA. Just recently, we passed the surveillance audit. This year we expanded our ISO program to cover 51 sites in eight regions. Monarch Caterpillar for example, before ang requirement for heavy equipment operator, you must have a five-year experience. Ngayon, Ah TESDA certified ka, we will let go of the five-year experience. We know youre good. I can name a hundred companies abroad who will look for it. SCB: How much would one have to pay? EJV: P 500, but if you dont pass, sorry. Mataas ang integrity nang pag conduct namin ng assessment and certification. Theres no way you can get it some other place, kahit pumunta ka pa sa Recto. Ang tatak TESDA, tatak world-class worker. Ang TESDA ang naging takbuhan ng kumpanya na naghahanap ng magagaling na workers, and thats our pride. Thats what we want to continue doing. TAKING THE TESDA COURSE SCB: We thought your TESDA barista course was all for a show. Hindi pala... EJV: I took the Food and Beverage NC III kasi I really love coffee. Second, I think the best way to promote the programs of TESDA is if I myself am a TESDA Specialista. SCB: How was that experience? EJV: For the barista course, kailangan mong kabisaduhin yung parts eh, point system. SCB: So, inassess kayo? EJV: Oo, andun ang ABS-CBN, si Jorge Carino. Saan ka nakakita na nag take ng assessment na may video? Kaya nanginginig ako sa kaba kasi national TV ito, kapag mali ang sagot, palpak. Nakakahiya. May mga mali akong nasagot eh. Pero naipasa ko kasi yung mga hindi ko naisagot, minor lang. Siguro kung hindi ko naisagot, yung pagtulo niya from the cup head, kailangan parang the tail of a rat. Kapag ang tulo niyan parang bumubuhos na gripo, bad shot yan eh. Kapag hindi mo nasagot yung tatlong parts na bumagsak sa shot glass -emulsion, body at cream, which is the soul of the coffee. Kapag hindi mo na describe yun bagsak ka kaagad. SCB: Baka naman the assessor went easy on you because youre the director general? (Laughs) EJV: Actually, ito ang nakakatakot. When I met her for the first time, she had been assessing for 28 years. At nakikita naman sa T V yung mga sagot ko kung mali o hindi.
congressman, ang dali mag-request ng doctor saka gamot. You have 22 doctors, 20 dentists, kapag birthday ko ganun eh. But if you compare the two, mas gusto ko pa yung hindi ako congressman kapag gumagawa ng ganon. Kapag congressman ka, ganon nga kalaki, pero people are not that grateful. Samantalang nung hindi ka congressman, they thank you, they hug you. But of course, it should not be your motivation. I continue doing these programs even after my term as congressman. But I dont go anymore because I dont want na mabahiran ng pulitika yung programa. SCB: Do you still intend to run for higher office? EJV: I would say nung 2013, I thought I was dead set on running. But I think when the President tells you na he wants you to stay here, I was blown away by those statements Who am I to say no? Ngayon, I dont see myself being deadset on running for higher office in 2016. Thats why even if I went through a lot of scrutiny, na epal ako, it doesnt affect me. At the end of the day, I know my calling. I know my worth. Alam ko kung ano yung gusto ko, at yun ay to continuously make an impact, to be relevant to society, whether youre in public service or not. SCB: What can you say about the ongoing rumors of a revamp in the Cabinet, and that youre one of those who will be transferred to a bigger department? EJV: One, I cannot dictate or say whether I want to go to another department. I think we are all aware that its the Presidents call. Anytime he wants to kick us out, okay lang. In fact, sabi ko nga anytime na mawala sa iyo yung trust ng Presidente, kahit competent ka pa, dapat youre willing to resign. But whether its true or not, ako I look at TESDA as a big department. Whether they agree with me or not, Im happy with TESDA. SCB: After your term, do you still see yourself getting involved with TESDA or in tech-voc or anything related to it? EJV: With the immeasurable energy, time and commitment that I spent here in TESDA, I think whatever happens I will be around and see to it that this agency continues to succeed. When I assumed office, one of the things I did was the Plant-a-tree program where every single employee of TESDA, would have to plant a tree anywhere they want. I challenged them to do something good as a TESDAN. I told them that Im planting this tree because I want this kid of mine to be proud of me for planting that tree for him. Thats the kind of legacy that I would like to leave behind in this agency. SCB: Kayo Sir, whats that figurative tree na iiwan ninyo dito? EJV: Na tech-voc courses will never be discriminated against, na wala nang magsasabi ng Anak, di ka naman magaling eh, mag-tech voc ka na lang! Gusto kong maalis yun.
I wanted to be a basketball player

What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery? Yung time na sinabihan ako na you will not be part of the varsity team. But I think God used it. I always believe that God can turn all these miseries into blessings. Turning point ng buhay ko yun. I had to be serious and learn what I want to achieve in life. What is your idea of earthly happiness? As a father, I love to hang out with my kids. I always want to make each moment one for the books. As a person, mabarkada ako eh. I value friendship. I have so many friends that are so close to me, kahit magkaiba kami ng paniniwala. I like being with friends na kaya mong sabihin lahat and who will not judge you. Pero ganon nga pala ang definition ng friends, no? Sa pulitika kasi, iba ang definition, maraming layers (laughs)! Where would you like to live? As long as Im with my family, wherever. I also love my province Bulacan. Who are your favorite heroes in fiction? Hero ko talaga yung dad ko. Sana mabasa niya ito kasi parang hanggang ngayon masama ang loob niya sa akin (laughs). I love Superman, Batman, Spider-Man. Yung song na Superman, I always sing that song sa mga videoke. Who are your favorite characters in history? Yung mga Bulakenyo heroes natin, and Ninoy Aquino. I have a collection of his speeches. Ginagaya ko siyang magsalita. Who would you have liked to be? Basketball player (laughs)? I just want to be myself. I just want to be the best that I can be. What characteristic do you admire most in a person? Character, and that includes his or her faith, perspective in life, and how he or she looks at things. Huwag mong papaligiran ang sarili mo ng negative people people who are stagnant, who are not progressive-minded. I believe you can learn from anyone, even from a baby. What do you value most in your friends? Their money (laughs)? Biro lang. Im very particular with friends. What I value is that they accept me for who I am. They will also not think twice about rebuking me kung mali ako. What is your favorite pre-occupation? Basketball, definitely. Ive had three knee surgeries. Tinatanong na ako ng wife ko why wont I stop? Wala na namang babaliin eh (laughs). How would you like to die? Siguro after seeing my kids na makuha ang dreams nila. I want them to become the best of the best. If you could invite five people, dead or alive, to dinner, who would they be? Puwede bang puro girls na lang (laughs)? Si Jesus Christ siyempre ang number one. Sila Jose Rizal, Nelson Mandela, David ng Bible, at saka si Peter. Peter because I see myself in him. Weak din, but at the end of the day, he knows what he wants to do. He denied Christ three times but was more than willing to be crucified upside down for the glory of Christs Kingdom.

he C i n e m a l a y a Independent Film Festival is still one year shy of being a decade old, but it already has quite a list of impressive alumni even before reaching that landmark year. After all, it was Cinemalaya where award-winning films such as Auraeus Solitos Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros, Jim Libirans Tribu, and Pepe Dioknos Engkwentro first saw light.

Kahit isa lang makapasok, okay na. At least nakapasok yung sa akin. Happy kami, he says. LEARNING FROM THE FILMMAKERS Happening alongside the film screening during the festival will be the 2013 Cinemalaya Forum. This years forum consists of a series of presentations and panel discussions that will explore the various facets of Pinoy indie filmmaking. Some of the topics to be discussed in the forum, as of Wednesday, include casting iNdie Films, Making Indie Films Under P3M, Current Problems and Practices of Indie Films, and From Mainstream to Indie, From Indie to Mainstream. This year also marks a departure from previous years as Cinemalaya partners with the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) in entering a special Memorandum of Agreement that allows the Festival to review and classify its own films using the guidelines for self-regulation.

t was a sunny Sunday afternoon when we left Manila for our trip to Isabela and Nueva Vizcaya. Another day to continue the passion to serve the country and our people. Another day to give hope to our young dreamers. This was an extraordinary day where we drove for more than six hours, passing by bridges and rivers till we reached our destination the new partner schools of our foundation. Acts of Hope for the Nation (AHON) Foundation, has been helping public elementary schools in our country for more than seven years. It aims to promote the culture of reading among children thru books and by building a functional library. Last June 28, eight committed schools in Cagayan Valley Region were inaugurated. Four schools in Alicia, Isabela and the other half in four towns of Nueva Vizcaya refurbished their libraries in a month. BUILDING DREAMS IN ALICIA Alicia, Isabela is a two-hour drive from Nueva Vizcaya. The central schools in this area namely, Alicia North Central School, Alicia West Central School, Alicia East Central School and Alicia Central School are the blessed schools who are now enjoying the new sets of books. Before, their libraries were in poor condition and filled with obsolete books. But with the support of their leader, Mayor Jeng Reyes, the PTA and barangay leaders, they were able to build a home for the students and the new books. AHONs Executive Director Harvey Keh pointed out in his speech that the success of a country does not only rely on our leaders but also on us citi-
Building libraries, building dreams
NEW WORLDS The new and refurbished libraries of the schools of Isabela and Nueva Vizcaya empower not just the students but the community that they live in.
zens, our attitudes and outlook towards development. Clearly, the community of Alicia is an example of his statement where the LGUs, school and parents worked as one for this project. NUEVA VIZCAYA AS A COMMUNITY It is in this province that I witnessed how bayanihan is still practiced in each community. With the help of Nueva Vizcaya Bayombong Action Group Inc., a group of hardworking volunteers approached our team and expressed their good intentions in advocating education in their area. The four schools who are now our partner schools are Bayombong South Elementary School, Bagabag Central School, Solano South Central School
and Villaverde Central School. Most of the books are all worn out or books not suitable for grade school students. But with their collective effort, they are now enjoying the brand new books in their library. During the inauguration, Dr. Gloria Gallardo, DepEd Assistant Superintendent for Schools Division mentioned in her speech; The library is the heart of the school and the books are its lifeblood. Gallardo articulated that the only way to uplift the lives of every Filipino is to feed our minds with the right knowledge and the only way to do this is to start reading. And as the program ended with the ribbon cutting to open the libraries, students excitedly rushed towards the first book that they saw
and browsed every page happily. The stories of these two provinces are inspiring as we have witnessed how a community worked together towards one goal. And seeing how they have worked hand in hand to achieve their goal, we can say that indeed, Kaya natin! (We can do it!) It is also the statement that the community in Isabela and Nueva Vizcaya would cheer after acknowledging the result of their hardwork. To date, AHON Foundation already has 80 partner schools all over the Philippines. And we are looking forward to add more schools that will develop their libraries for their students. Indeed, the long drive weve had
was worth it after seeing the community proud and empowered by their own learning resource center. Moreover, seeing the glow in every childs face while reading the books truly touched our hearts. These kids are our inspiration to continue what we have started because we know that the knowledge that they gain from these books will never be taken away from them. It is the priceless treasure in their hearts and minds. To know more, visit www.ahonfoundation.org.

Editorial
INCE it was started a hundred years ago during the World Wars I and II, the AFS Intercultural Programs, formerly known as American Field Service, has been recognized worldwide for its tradition of volunteerism. With its presence in 60 countries and operating as a volunteer-based, non-profit organization, the AFS today provides intercultural learning opportunities to help people, especially the youth, develop the knowledge, skills, and understanding needed to create a more just and peaceful world. Each year, close to 13,000 AFS participants travel on intercultural exchanges supported by an extensive network of 44,000 volunteers, host families and host schools, organizations, and staff. In the Philippines, the AFS started in 1956. Over a period of 24 years (1956-1979), 1,047 young Filipinos went to the United States of America (USA) for one year and 609 American teenagers came to the Philippines as AFS exchange students. In 1980, the AFS Philippines ceased its operations and remained closed for the next 20 years. But because of its committed returnees and passionate volunteers, the AFS made a comeback in 2003 and was re-established as AFS Intercultural Programs Philippines Foundation, Inc. (AFS IPP). Since its reactivation, the AFS IPP has sent nearly 1,000 students and teachers abroad and hosted close to 400 students and teachers from other AFS partner countries, to date. Today, AFS IPP holds the presidency of the AFS Asia and the Pacific Initiatives (AAI), a regional organization composed of eleven partner countries: Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, South Korea, and Thailand. To commemorate its glorious past and to pay tribute to the heart and driving force of its
100 YEARS AND BEYOND
AFS: KEEPING THE TRADITION OF VOLUNTEERISM
organization, the volunteers, AFS IPP is spearheading a milestone project in collaboration with AAI dubbed 100 Volunteers Abroad for 100 Years of AFS. AFS IPP is proud to grant 100 full scholarships to 100 of its outstanding and committed volunteers in the Philippines for a two-week innovative intercultural exchange program in select countries within the AAI region. The participants will be taking part of the program in determined time schedules starting this October, 2013. Currently, there are more than 4,500 registered volunteers in the Philippines of all ages, professionals and retirees, students and teachers from 23 recognized chapters, namely, Bacolod, Baguio, Batangas, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Cotabato, Dapitan, Davao, Dumaguete, Iligan, Iloilo, Jolo, Legazpi, Marawi, Metro Manila, Ozamiz, Naga, Pangasinan, Puerto Princesa, SOCSARGEN, Subic Bay, Tacloban, and Zamboanga. AFS volunteers manage and facilitate intercultural experiences. These volunteers develop and foster an environment that supports international exchanges. Thus, many of them are experienced host families or former participants who have gained firsthand experience with other cultures. Finding rewarding connections through AFS, volunteers remain passionate about the programs and remain associated with AFS, often for decades. Indeed, the AFS has been true to its promise of connecting lives and sharing cultures. Thus, it is a recognized leader today in international exchange and intercultural learning. As it celebrates its grand centennial, the AFS affirms the noble work of all AFS leaders, staff, volunteers and those who took part in an AFS program through the years, for transforming and impacting the lives of millions of students, families, and individuals worldwide. We congratulate the AFS Intercultural Programs headed by its Chairperson and AFS Asia and the Pacific Initiatives President Rahiema Bagis-Guerra and Vice Chair Hector Y. Dimacali, on the occasion of its 100th Anniversary and wish them all the best and success in all their endeavors. CONGRATULATIONS AND MABUHAY! s

Six days before his term would expire, friends and supporters, co-workers and allies of Mayor Alfredo S.

The Youth: Our Countrys Hope

By R. O. ELLOSO
ng kabataan ang pag-asa ng ating inang bayan. These words of Dr. Jose Rizal will hold true in an ideal setting. But as it is, the present state of events is far from ideal. In its 2011 report, the NSO said about 6.24 million out of the estimated 39 million Filipinos whose ages range from 6 to 24 years old are considered as out-of-school youth (OSY). Nine years before, there were 4.8 million OSYs recorded in the 2002 Annual Poverty Indicators Survey (APIS). In his homily on June 9, 2013, Fr. Larry Faraon of Channel 4 said that those who continue their studies these days are very lucky, because only 14 out of 100 students are bound
Parenting students are provided child care, working students have the option to take self-paced classes or partial-day classes, those who have lost interest are placed in learning in real-world context, provided work experience and service-learning opportunities and personalized environments that help students connect to others in the school setting.
to finish college. Caritas, in an effort to help solve the problem, he said, offers scholarships in Mindanao, Samar, Abra, Benguet, and other provinces where the out-of-school youth problem is manifest. To compound the problem, many of these youth are usually found in the streets. The London-based Amnesty International estimates that there are as many as 200,000 street children in the Philippines, one of the worlds largest such populations. Between 50,000 to 70,000 are situated in Metro Manila, according to Action International Ministries, a missionary group that works with urban poor around the world.Many of the street kids are runaways escaping from difficult family situations.According to the End Child Prostitution in Asian Tourism, a child-rights advocacy group, many of these youth work as pickpockets, scavengers and beggars to survive. Others are engaged in different kinds of crimes. Even in the US, this has become a big problem. The Huffington Postreported last year that unemployed, out-of-school youth are costing American taxpayers nearly $14,000 per year. There are a multitude of causes why the youth stay out of school and these include poverty, pregnancy or parenting, poor grades, poor relationships with teachers, bullying, job, uninteresting subjects or lack of interest in studying. The NSO reported that 28.9 percent of the OSY did not pursue their studies due to the high cost of education while 27.5 percent was for lack of interest. Some OSYs need to work to augment their family income while others in the ARMM stop due to armed conflict. Alarmed by this condition among our young people, Rep. Ma. Theresa Bonoan-David of Manila filed a resolution urging the House Committee on Basic Education and Culture
to find ways to curb the alarming increase in the number of out of school youths in the country. She said the State should provide for mechanisms which would make them avail of a decent education, which would eventually make them indispensible contributors to national growth and progress. Our Constitution provides for the protection and promotion of the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels. Leon Flores II, National Youth Commission chair, says The Philippines is lagging behind other countries in giving access to education to its people, thats why we should start to act upon this problem now. The National Youth Commission launched a nationwide profiling system for out-of-school youth in an effort to bring them back to school either the formal or alternative kind. A list of 16 to 30-yearolds who never graduated from elementary and high school will be made. The enlisting program, entitled Abot-Alam is the first step in the effort to reintegrate them into the education system. The project is a three-year undertaking to create a comprehensive database of out-of-school youth that would identify who they are, and the possible ways to help them. It will be undertaken through the local barangays. The youth can also register online. Once enlisted, the youth will be referred to the Department of Education, Commission on Higher Education, or the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority for reintegration. Dr.Julia Wilkins, a research associate at National Dropout Prevention Center for Students with Disabilities (NDPC-SD)in the US, writes: Once youth drop out of school, the overwhelming majority regret their decision. The difficulties they face in trying to obtain work without a high school diploma force many youth to reexamine their chances of leading a satisfying adult life without this credential. Many students face additional barriers that prevent them from returning, such as parenting or holding down a job. In searching for solutions and strategies in implementing programs for out-of-school youth here in the Philippines, we may employ some useful ideas from reentry programs conducted in the US. Reentry programs are different from typical
school environments in that they specifically attempt to address the barriers students face in returning to and remaining in school. For example, parenting students are provided child care, working students have the option to take self-paced classes or partial-day classes, those who have lost interest are placed in learning in real-world context, provided work experience and service-learning opportunities and personalized environments that help students connect to others in the school setting. Most reentry programs also help students who are homeless, substance abusers, or have mental health needs by partnering with community agencies. Common characteristics of reentry programs in the US are: (a) flexible programming, which refers to programs that are provided in nonschool settings and provide alternative timetables, such as shortened school days and evening classes, b) options for credit recovery, credit accrual, and dual credits, which refer to programs that give students opportunities to recover credits online and earn credits through alternative means, as well as programs that allow dual enrollment so that students can simultaneously earn high school and college credits, (c) meaningful curricula, that is, their curricula are aligned with local workforce skill demands, (d) involvement, which refers to the role that teachers play in building relationships with students,mentoring them, monitoring their behavior and progress, and providing ongoing support while students transition into postsecondary education or employment; and (e) partnerships, which refers to schools working collaboratively with other institutions of education, community-based organizations, and local businesses to provide students with a wide range of opportunities surrounding their diploma completion A good education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity, it is a pre-requisite. - President Barack Obama. This modest and almost rudimentary education would be enough to awaken in the pupils ideas of education and progress La Instruccion by Jose Rizal. s Sunday, July 7, 2013 Philippine Panorama 9
Hey, Have You Volunteered Yet?

By Eleanor E. Yu
The Philippine Red Cross is a dynamic volunteer organization in our country and worldwide. Photo shows some trainees who underwent the Standard First Aid and Basic Life Support Training, one of PRCs various training programs.
othing is braver than a volunteers heart- Rafe, from the Pearl Harbor movie. Volunteerism is widely understood to mean working for a charitable cause without any financial remuneration. For some who embark on it, it is a way of living out of the Christian principle of sharing ones three Ts time, talent and treasure. It is about being selfless for the benefit of another. Still for others, it is a way of life, doing charitable acts, small and big, for personal growth and fulfillment 10 Philippine Panorama Sunday, July 7, 2013
while contributing to the development of the country. The past years have seen a dramatic increase in volunteer services organizations worldwide. People have different motivations for joining such groups. For young people, meeting new friends is a strong motivational factor. Learning is another benefit for those eager to grow personally or professionally. By regularly doing their tasks as volunteers, they get to develop life and leadership skills. The sheer joy of being able to share their talents with a bigger community could be their priceless reward in the end. For some, this opens up more opportunities to travel around the world where their services may be required. For the new graduates, volunteerism is a worthwhile way of spending time while waiting for the results of their board or licensure exams. Their volunteer work helps them to learn other things while they have not found a stable job yet. On the other hand, some may opt to volunteer while attending to their post graduate studies while those who may not have the financial capability to attend formal school may find this to be a meaningful way to grow and develop their potentials. Moreover, for those who have retired from the corporate world, volunteerism may provide them the opportunity to continue to serve and be useful in the society by sharing their knowledge and wisdom especially with the younger generation.
When we see young people becoming more aware about the value of volunteerism, we know there is hope for a better life coming. Young people have an enormous power to work and direct the course of world events. On the other hand, the older ones have the wisdom to guide the young earned from the mistakes and right decisions they have made in their own lives. The young and old can actually work together for a more peaceful, ecologically balanced, progressive and safer world. Indeed, the benefits of volunteerism are countless. Oftentimes, volunteers discover their gifts or talents through the work they do. As they are challenged, they become more creative, finding ways to make do with the resources on hand wherever they may be assigned. Likewise, they develop interpersonal relationships as they deal with co-volunteers coming from different fields of endeavor or cultures. Volunteers have a special vocation that binds them together. They are united for a common cause. Oftentimes, their teamwork extends long after the volunteer work is done and they develop lifelong friendship. This is not to say that volunteerism is easy, for the challenges that confront the volunteer are many. First of all, the adjustment of living in an entirely new environment can weigh him down. This is especially true for those who volunteer in a foreign land. Add to this the language barrier and the demands of establishing work relationships with ones co-volunteers. This is where formation and training prove to be very crucial. Proper training provides volunteers a clear sense of their mission and vision that would guide them in their actions and decisions as they perform their tasks. Psycho-spiritual formation should strengthen their character and sense of commitment so they can handle the difficulties they may encounter in their places of work. This should also inspire and help them transcend their personal agenda for the attainment of the common good. Sacrifice is a call of volunteerism. There are many ways to volunteer. One can do it in his country or in another place where his services are needed. Though the adjustment may be more difficult abroad, the assimilation of knowledge about different cultures is a great reward for those brave enough to leave their comfort zones and co-exist with strangers around the world.
Some of the causes that are supported by volunteerism in the Philippines and elsewhere in the world are education, health, economics, human rights, ecology and peace. In our country, volunteers have an enormous impact on the various communities they serve. We see them in hospitals, schools, churches, roads, parks, barangays, private, government and nongovernment organizations, and anywhere there is a need for compassionate hearts and helping hands to alleviate the living conditions of people. The rewards of voluntary work may be visible soon, while others may not even manifest in ones lifetime such as what happens to those who plant trees or teach children who may seem like very slow learners. In this sense, the volunteer becomes the seed sower and the future generations, the reaper. Some of us may think, why should we even plant now and not let the next generation plant their own? To answer this, let us pause for a while, look around, and for every tree we see, ponder: if the past generations did not also plant, what would life be for us now? Similarly, if we had no teachers in the past who had painstakingly taught us how to live well, what would have become of us now? If we could muster enough courage and open our eyes wide to see the bigger world around us, our minds and hearts would be inspired to help in our own little ways. We could volunteer in our parish communities, teach in daycare centers, and launch a clean up drive or planting activities. Likewise, we can also join some existing volunteer organizations in or outside of the Philippines. Each of us has a missionary zeal from where the desire to reach out to others springs forth. When we say, yes to volunteerism, we respond to an invitation to live a more altruistic life and are empowered to help others. The fruits of our good deeds joy, unity, peace, growth, will continue to nourish and sustain our initiative. Conversely, the indifference that we feel towards the plight of people in need may pull us down to a feeling of emptiness. Indeed, it takes a brave heart to volunteer, but even with little acts, one at a time, ones heart can be formed until it is finally able to say yes loud and clear to the challenge of volunteerism. Hey, have you volunteered yet? s Sunday, July 7, 2013 Philippine Panorama 11
Hillary Clinton:
The Next Chapter
H
ILLARY Clinton said last year that when she ended her stint as U.S. Secretary of State, she wanted to sleep and exercise and travel for fun. And now, for the first time in over 20 years of public service, she is in a position to do just that, since she no longer holds a government position. But her popularity remains at an all-time high. Her first Tweet as a private citizen drew 366,000 responses in just 24 hours, a faster start than Pope Francis. Now, she intends to concentrate on the Clinton Foundation, which was recently renamed The Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation. She made her first public appearance as a private By citizen alongside her husband Beth at the annual meeting of the Day Romulo Clinton Foundation, and when she addressed the crowd sleeping and exercise and travel for fun were clearly not on her mind. She spoke of the future of the United States of America and the pressing need to create more jobs for young people, the ones who are just now finishing high school or college, and entering the labor force. She also spoke of the need to improve childhood development programs and promised to continue her work expanding opportunities for women and girls through the Clinton Foundation. 12 Philippine Panorama Sunday, July 7, 2013
Hillary Clinton
The three-day Clinton Foundation meeting was packed with Clinton admirers and the guest list drew some prominent names from the government, finance and the entertainment world, where both Hillary and Bill Clinton have supporters. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew attended as did Gary Cohn, the president of Goldman Sachs investment house. Mrs. Clinton has been working on a memoir, but this public appearance was evidence that she is ready to return to public life. In her recently opened Twitter account, she described herself as wife, mom, lawyer, women and kids advocate, FLOAR AND FLOTUS (First Lady of Arkansas and First lady of the United States). She has been a U.S. Senator as well as Secretary of State and also, according to her Tweet, she is an author, dog owner, hair icon, pantsuit aficionado, and glass ceiling cracker. We can be sure that her work with the Clinton Foundation will be more than just a ceremonial position. And there is still talk about her running for president in 2016.s

A Barangay
Harvest of Art
By JUNETTE SORIANO-BAX
Handpicked participants working on the mural
An exercise in Batik
VERYBODY takes the barangay for granted. Initially, it was a word in history books. A little later, it became a constant topic in Philippine social studies. Then the word: it has been officially declared a political unit called local government unit (LGU). It is the main artery of our democratic participation. It is major in the countrys political life. It is our backyard, always within arms length of the constituent. Like most things mundane, recognizing how the barangay positively affects our daily lives is a subtle process that does not require an epiphany. Case in point is a continuing art workshop program in an LGU south of Metro Manila. Already on its 13th year, the program is still going strong in terms of LGU-SK support and communal involvement. Art for the marginalized? To proclaim that art can be a tool for progress was more than bold. It sounded downright insane. Initially, there was much anxiety as to its value in the thrusts of the barangay. Presenting the concept of art as valuable at the grass root level was not only intimidating. It was scary. With all these thoughts weighing heavily on them, a small band of artists set about the apparently unenviable attempt at bringing the fine arts to the grassroots level. The move had no foreshadowing. It was a simple plan on the drawing board expose the arts to as many people as possible. Armed only with this apparently quixotic objective, the art group Alyansang Tuklas Sining, Inc., an NGO, approached the local government of Pamplona Dos in Las Pias City. The project was dubbed Tuklas Sining Laban sa Droga. For the artists, it was a newly opened channel for sharing their expertise in the visual arts
with uninitiated young people from a specific marginalized community. It was a time to simplify the jargon of their craft into words that are easy-tounderstand. It was a time to interact with their little brothers and sisters in painting fundamentals. Every year, since then, the Sangguniang Kabataan sponsors this summer art workshop as a continuing project for the youth of this locale. The project progressed from its original SK objective as an avenue against drug abuse. By turns, it incorporated the thrusts of the city government in supplementing, thru innovative programs, the major/basic services in health, education, sanitation, and crime prevention, all of which can be accessed by the citizenry at the grassroots level. It has also focused on re-cycling. Another concept which has also underscored this continuing summer art workshop program could be summed up thus: that the visual arts can be a vehicle for an individuals subliminal changes in worldview. For the artists, especially to its head trainer, sculptress Netnet S. Abraham, what started as a deep-seated aspiration to make arts accessible to the masses became a second vocation. For all those who got involved in that pioneering project, art was not a painting on the wall, nor is it a monument at the end of LRT. Art became an experience. And what started as an anti-drug abuse campaign for the barangay youth evolved into an anticipated community event. At such times, participants and organizers alike can actually feel that art is for the masses, the people being the fountainhead of all that rings true, universal and beautiful in fine arts and literature. About a thousand students have already benefitted from this pioneering effort. Some of them are already SK members who assist the trainer and the workshop secretariat during the participants three-day grind in crayons, oil pastels and acrylic. The 13th Summer of Art Fun and Sunflowers is this years edition of a program that has grown into the annual summer affair at Barangay Pamplona 2, the second smallest barangay in Las Pias City. In its 13th established season, by way of a DILG
project, its life span verifies the worthiness of a cause: that the marginalized amongst us need not be strangers to the elements of art and beauty. Tuklas-sining is proof that bringing arts to the masses is practicable. Every summer art workshop is a harvest in terms of endurance, worthiness of cause and dedication of its organizers. It is a reminder of how a thing of beauty, like sunflowers and other images now adorning the walls of the barangay hall, is a joy forever. The first ever barangay art workshop, show and roving exhibit was initiated in Pamplona Dos. For over a decade, it has been sustained. In terms of tuklas sining, regardless of clich, this barangay can now actually proclaim: the rest is history. s

UNKY actor Carlos Agassis open declaration recently that he has at one time engaged in arelationship with a gay man has set into orbit more confessions and sins of either admission or commission. Other actors, interviewed during a press conference, of all places, admitted, they too, were not virgins in that department. The venerable Eddie Garcia, in his sexy 80s, owed up to having experienced gay sex during his teens, at age 15 or thereabouts. He didnt say if it happened in his hometown Bicol, however. Suffice to surmise it could have taken place somewhere near the lumang simboryo or 18 Philippine Panorama Sunday, July 7, 2013
in the middle of sa kabukiran. Garcia, considered an icon in acting after having survived the entertainment industry since the 1950s, said everything in this life is worth trying at least once. Another actor who owed up to the same confession in the same event was supporting player DJ Durano, a former musician. The pervading sexual revolution worldwide has triggered gay-related issues as celebrity outings, same-sex marriages, gay bashing, and a stream of gay roles in TV and movies. Of curious interest locally is a recent statement from matinee idol Dingdong Dantes, who said that hes now ready for what should be his first gay role. He wants it done indie-style.

HE vocal chords are like muscles, says singing coach Eric Arceneaux. So the voice improves with exercise, and gets weak with lack of it. But, he says, it can also be damaged with the wrong ones. Eric, the originator of the Arceneaux Approach voice lessons, has developed vocalization techniques that, practiced every day, will make your voice fuller and stronger. Eric shares some of his methods in his video tutorials. This is the generation of the millennials and the era of social networks. An almost infinite amount of knowledge is at our fingertips. Im lucky to find the worlds greatest motivational gurus on YouTube. Here are some of the lessons that empower the lives of millions including mine and, I really wish, yours, too. Simplicity is elegance. Matthew May is in pursuit of shibumi, the Japanese ideal of 20 Philippine Panorama Sunday, July 7, 2013
understated perfection. His The Shibumi Strategy is inspired by this authors all-time favorite novel: Shibumi by Trevanian. Matthews The Elegant Solution is a distillation of his insights from Toyota and its guiding principle of kaizen (continuous improvement). Limiting information engages the imagination, is one of Matthews six principles in his The Law of Subtraction. Creativity thrives under intelligent constraints, is another. Similar to Malcolm Gladwell, he illustrates them with pop culture imagery, like the significance of The Sopranos last episode. Doing something isnt always better than doing nothing. Matthews says that behind the phenomenal success of iPhone, which doesnt even have a keypad, is Steve Jobs audacious marketing secret. Matthews philosophy is the wisdom of Lao-Tzu:
To attain knowledge, add things every day. To attain wisdom, subtract things every day. Create a compelling future. Tony Robbins is my life coach though we havent met yet. What makes the difference in peoples lives is not biography but Emotional fitness. Knowing the patterns of human behavior is useless if you dont get your body to actually do it. In the long run, discipline never works, he says. What works is when you get addicted to something positively new. Its when we shift from having to do something, to wanting to do something. The crucial element is Mastering your own emotions. This goes beyond positive thinking, going to your garden and chanting Theres no weeds! First you need to see things as they are - but not worse than they are. We tend to magnify the problem. Whats wrong is always available - so is whats right. Then you have to See it better than it is. You need a clear vision of the life you want that will pull you, instead of you struggling towards it. Today could be tough, he says, but if the future is compelling, we can get there. What happens is what we attract. Jim Rohn says change is not easy, but it spells the difference between success and failure. Its not what happens, its what you do about it. The mind is a powerful magnet. What you have at the moment youve attracted by the person youve become. But If you will change, everything will change for you. The mysterious forces of the universe are governed by the law of cause and effect. To have more, you have to become more. True fulfillment transcends our resumes. Learn to work harder on yourself than your job. A good job will give you a living, but personal excellence will give you a fortune. People pay us not for our time, but for our value in the Marketplace, which really means Reality. Can you triple your income? Of course! he says. Chicken feed! So instead of waiting for a break, right now we need to increase our worth. The whole scenario of life, says Jim, whos the mentor of Tony Robbins, is to become valuable. Our success comes from our choices. Brian Tracy says Success is predictable, like cooking
a dish from a recipe until it becomes second nature. Your life is what you have done. We are where we are and what we are because of the choices and decisions we have made, he says. So to achieve success, you must stop making bad decisions, start making good ones and stop associating with people wholl only pull you down. Then trust the law of attraction to bring to your life people in harmony with your own thinking. Dont forcibly convert others because, In the main, people dont change. Just be the change you want, he says, quoting Gandhi. Take your goal and structure it as a question, then list down 20 answers because sometimes the most obvious is what we overlook. When a task is daunting, Break the goal down into as many steps as you can, he says, citing Henry Fords idea. Every day, Just do one, and let the mind find its natural rhythm, so you start to move forward. Our self-worth comes within. Wayne Dyer transformed my life through his bestselling classic Your Erroneous Zones. I admire him even more because he cites Jose Silva and Carlos Castaeda. Youll get orange juice and nothing else, he says, no matter how you squeeze an orange. Same with people: our reactions depend on whats inside us. When we lose our keys inside the house, we dont look in the street, but we look outside ourselves for solutions like forcing other people to change. If we think we are inherently deficient, then we will spend the rest of our lives trying to fill a bottomless void. Our reality is from our character: When you change the way you look at things, the things that you look at, changes. One who is without erroneous zones knows this is a friendly, not a hostile, universe. All creation is perfect, he says, including you. A No-Limit person believes he already has everything within to find peace. There is no way to happiness, he says. Happiness is the way. s Watch their videos on the Playshop page of Jonathans blog 2Rivers (www.jonathan2rivers. blogspot.com) Sunday, July 7, 2013 Philippine Panorama 21
Natural Alternative
Remedies for Arthritis
(First of Two Parts)
By JOSE MA. H. ZALDARRIAGA
FFLICTING one out of two people by the age of 85 years, arthritis is easily one of the worlds most common medical conditions. Commonly associated with such symptoms as joint inflammation, joint pain (arthralgia), and joint swelling or stiffness, arthritis may be a source of discomfort for most people. Fortunately, there are numerous ways to help mitigate and alleviate the effects of this condition. Some of these dont even require the use of pharmaceuticals and may even be done within the comforts of ones home. These natural alternative remedies for arthritis, however, only serve to augment and complement
the treatment regimen prescribed by ones doctor. Hence, instead of replacing them, they must be sought together with the prescribed medications and therapy for arthritis. 1. Weight loss The most effective remedy for arthritis is also the most difficult. Dr. Susan Bartlett of John Hopkins University affirms that arthritis is strongly associated with body weight. The reason behind this is quite obvious. As your body weight increases, so does the force exerted on the joints, consequently hastening the breakdown of cartilage. Being only 10 pounds overweight increases the force exerted on the knee by 30 to 60 pounds with each step you take. Unsurprisingly, Dr. Roy Altman of the University of California, Los Angeles has encountered several arthritis patients whose symptoms eventually disappeared after shedding 10 to 20 pounds. There are a variety of ways to lose weight naturally. Among these include reducing fat, sugar, and sodium intake in ones diet; replacing processed, preserved, and high-carb meals with natural ones; and exercising regularly. 2. Regular exercise People used to think that Exercise is in fact crucial for people with arthritis, increasing joint exercise made arthritis worse. strength and flexibility, reducing joint pain, and strengthening the We now know, however, that muscles around the joints.
the opposite actually holds true. As Mayo Clinic reports, exercise is in fact crucial for people with arthritis, increasing joint strength and flexibility, reducing joint pain, and strengthening the muscles around the joints. Lack of exercise can actually weaken the joints and their supporting muscles. Before doing any form of exercise, however, one must first discuss with ones doctor the most appropriate and effective exercise plan that is tailor-fit to ones condition. Orthopedic doctors and physical therapists usually recommend the following exercises: range-of-motion exercises (e.g. simply raising your arms over your head, rolling your shoulders back-and-forth), strengthening exercises, and low-impact aerobic exercises (e.g. walking around ones house for older people or taking a few laps in the pool if youre younger). 3. Acupuncture Several anecdotal evidence points to acupuncture as an effective therapy for managing arthritic pain. Acupuncture, an alternative remedy popularized by Chinese medicine, makes use of fine needles to stimulate so-called major meridians or energy-carrying channels. When stimulated, these acu-points send a message to the brain to release endorphins, neurotransmitters that block the sensation of pain. Acupunctures pain-relieving property seems to have worked its wonders for numerous patients with arthritis. A study published in the 2006 issue of the journal Rheumatology concludes that, Considering its favourable safety profile, acupuncture seems an option worthy of consideration. Dr. Roy Altman also adds that, Several trials show acupuncture to be helpful for many people with osteoarthritis. The procedure should not be thought of as a cure-all, however. Dr. Altman likewise places a note of caution that, Its not helpful in everybody. Nonetheless, if one has already discussed this with ones doctor, its certainly worth a shot. 4.Topical treatments Not all creams, gels, or rubs that promise fastacting and long-lasting relief from joint pain work the way they promise. Some topical remedies feel good and warm on the skin but actually
produce no effect on the affected joint. However, Mayo Clinic notes that there are several rubs whose active ingredients have proven to be quite effective in managing pain. Topical medications that contain capsaicin (a substance that causes a burning sensation associated with chili peppers), for example, deplete nerve cells of a chemical that helps in the transmission of pain impulses. Examples of capsaicin-containing rubs include Capzasin and Zostrix. Some topical medicationssuch as Bengay and Aspercreme- have salicylates, containing the pain-relieving substance found in aspirin. Others, on the other hand, have menthol as their active ingredient. By producing a sensation of heat or cold, menthol may temporarily interfere with your bodys ability to feel arthritic pain. Though not as popular here in the Philippines than in Europe or in the United States, there are a few topical remedies for arthritis available by prescription. Creams or gels with nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have a lower risk of irritating the stomach while still being as effective as their oral counterparts. A commonly prescribed NSAID topical remedy is Diclofenac gel, sold as Voltaren Gel or Pennsaid. The doctor may also prescribe patches containing diclofenac or lidocaine (Lidoderm) that are placed on the skin over the affected joint for 12 hours at a time. 5. Assistive devices An indispensable but often-neglected step to reduce arthritic pain is to use assistive devices. Assistive devices, such as canes, braces, walkers, splints, and shoe inserts aid in balance and redistribute ones body weight. They, thus, lessen the force exerted on the affected joints which could consequently reduce the pain emanating from them. Some patients with arthritis even have raised toilet seats in their homes. The benefit of assistive devices is that they greatly help in ones ability to perform everyday tasks. In a succeeding article, I will discuss some herbs, plant products, and foodstuff that are reportedly efficacious in managing arthritis-related pain. The good news for people with arthritis is that it is never too late to mitigate the condition. Aside from pharmaceuticals, numerous alternative remedies abound. s jhzal1993@yahoo.com.ph Sunday, July 7, 2013 Philippine Panorama 23

Bobby and Cherrylyn Bagaris with beautifully grown Philondendron New Orange.
Fast Way of Multiplying Ornamentals
OU dont have to be a horticulture graduate from UP Los Baos to be successful in propagating ornamental plants. Practice and common sense will make you succeed. Just like Bobby Bagaris who is managing the May-it Flower Farm in Brgy. May-it, Lucban, Quezon. Bobby finished a course in marine engineering. After graduation, he lasted only six months in an interisland ship. He resigned from his job so he could serve as a driver to his American brother-in-law who married his By Zac B. sister Vivian. Sarian The brother-in-law, Ralph William Miller, is a businessman whose specialty is installing water systems in greenhouses and landscaping jobs in the US. When he relocated to the Philippines, he put up two high-tech greenhouses to grow ornamental plants as a hobby. He hired a technician to operate his hobby farm
These Morado bromeliads are sold for only R150 at the May-it Flower Farm. In Metro Manila stores, these will cost more than double.
for growing flowering and foliage plants. For one reason or another, the technician did not last very long. In the end, Ralph challenged Bobby to learn about ornamental propagation and production so he could take over the management of the greenhouses. Which Bobby took very seriously. When we visited the place last June 16, we were really amazed at the beautiful ornamental plants that included philodendrons, anthuriums, bromeliads, dieffenbachia and some orchids.
We immediately had the impression that the philodendrons (nine varieties in all) were the product of tissue-culture because they were so beautiful and uniform in size and color. No, they are not the product of the tissue culture lab. They are produced by topcutting. It is not the usual practice of topcutting, though. Most gardeners will topcut their philodendron when they are already full-grown. In the case of Bobby, he topcuts his mother plants when they are still small, say three months old. He related that when they ordered 1,000 tissuecultured philodendron of the New Orange variety, he started topcutting them when they were just three to four months old. They were still very small. By doing that, the stump of each topcut mother plant produced about three new suckers. The suckers are separated from their mother plant when they are still very small with a couple of roots. These are then planted in seedling trays using coir dust as rooting medium. When they have grown bigger and have developed sufficient roots, they are transferred to a medium hard plastic pot for further growing using coconut husk cubes as medium. The plants are provided with slow-release fertilizer for faster and healthier growth. Then they are finally planted to a bigger hard plastic pot with a diameter of 12 inches in the mouth. In three or four months, the philodendrons are already ready for sale, each fetching R210. Bobby says that topcutting the young mother plants is perfect because the suckers are plucked when they are still small and they grow uniformly like tissue-cultured seedlings. The technique, he said, is a very fast way of multiplying not only philodendrons but also other plants like flowering anthuriums. In the case of the 1,000 New Orange philodendron mother plants that they imported from Thailand, he was able to produce more than 10,000 propagations in less than one year. Thats because the first generation suckers will also start producing suckers in just a few months. And the old mother plants also continue producing new suckers. The third generation suckers will also add to the propagations, and so on. The flowering anthuriums are likewise multiplied
Flowering anthuriums by the thousands. These cost only R50 to R100 per pot.
very fast. There are several varieties which are also topcut when they are still young. Because they are easy to propagate, they are being sold at very affordable prices. There are flowering potted anthuriums that sell for as low as R50 a pot. The bigger ones, however, are sold at R100 each. Still these are much lower than the price one will find in weekend markets and plant stores in Metro Manila. The same is true with the bromeliads. The full grown Neoregelias that are flowering are sold for only R150 a pot. And those that are a wee bit past their prime but still very good looking are sold for as low as R50 per pot. Of course, the plants are grown beautifully because of the high-tech facilities in the growing and propagating greenhouses. The plants are watered and also fertilized automatically. At the turn of the faucet, the plants are watered by sprinklers. May-it Flower Farm is not well known to the general public. Since 2008, when the farm was turned into a commercial enterprise rather than just a hobby farm, most of the buyers have been wholesale plant dealers. In the beginning only two buyers have contracted to buy all their production. However, it was opened to other buyers such as the plant shop owners and other plant traders in

Metro Manila when the two original buyers could no longer absorb all the production of Bobby. Most of the buyers often haul their purchases by the truckloads. And thats probably why Bobby and his wife Cherrylyn have not
bothered to advertise their farm so more people would know and they would go direct to them for their own requirements. Perhaps, with our articles in the Bulletin publications, more people will know about May-it Flower Farm. More buyers will probably go to them direct, and so Bobby would have to accelerate his production. s
