Korea Warns Embassies

Pyongyang Says It Cant Guarantee Safety Of Diplomats, Staff
LONDON/SEOUL (Reuters) North Korea warns it could not guarantee the safety of diplomats after next Wednesday and has asked embassies to consider moving staff out of the country, European diplomats said, amid high tension on the Korean peninsula. The requests came on the heels of declarations by the secretive state that real conflict was inevitable, because of hostile US troop exercises with South Korea and UN sanctions imposed over the Norths latest nuclear weapons test. They also followed South Korean media reports that

Pope Presses Action Vs Pedophile Priests

VATICAN CITY (AFP) Pope Francis has given his first pronouncement on the Catholic Churchs pervasive pedophile priest scandal, urging Vatican disciplinarians to act with determination against the scourge. Meeting on Friday with Monsignor Gerhard Ludwig Mueller, the head of the Vatican department that disciplines predator priests, the pope asked him to act with determination in cases of sexual abuse, the Vatican said in a statement. It was the first official word on the issue from the new pope, who was elected March 13 to succeed Benedict XVI whose papacy was marred by relentless pedophilia scandals with tens of thousands of victims over several decades. The statement noted that the policy followed the line established by

PH To Import Rice From Cambodia

By ELLSON A. QUISMORIO
The countrys bid to become rice self-sufficient may not be realized yet. Just recently, the Philippines government signed a memorandum
of agreement (MOA) on rice trade with the Kingdom of Cambodia to pave the way for the National Food Authority (NFA) to import rice from that country for the next two years. The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) revealed that the MOA between the two governments was
signed last April 4 by Philippine Ambassador to Cambodia Noe Wong and Cambodian Senior Minister and Minister of Commerce Cham Prasidh. Ambassador Wong, in a brief speech at the signing ceremony,

First Submarine Tours Introduced In Cebu

A Cebu-based firm is introducing the countrys first submarine tours in the waters near Mactan. The Cebu Yellow Submarine and Undersea Tour Corp. said they have received the certificate of accreditation from the Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) last week and that they are now accepting passengers to go on trips aboard the Cebu Yellow Submarine. The Cebu Yellow Submarine can accommodate up to 48 passengers at a time. Although it can go as deep as 100 meters below the surface, operators have decided not to go beyond 35 meters to ensure the safety of its passengers.

2 Local News Senate Leadership May Change Jinggoy
Sunday, April 7, 2013
By MARIO B. CASAYURAN
Senate President Pro Tempore Jose Jinggoy Estrada said yesterday he is hoping and praying that incumbent Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile would retain his seat as Senate chief in the forthcoming 16th Congress. Estrada, however, conceded that he could not change the reality that the number of pro-administration senators might increase after the May 2013 mid-tern elections. He said these senators might grab the majority in the 24-man Senate and effect a Senate leadership change. This early, political analysts are already seeing proAquino administration senators grabbing the majority bloc and easing out the pro-Enrile bloc. The Senate leadership is up for grabs a day after President Benigno S. Aquino III delivers his State of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 22. After resuming regular session for three days on June 5 following the May senatorial and local elections, the current 15th Congress adjourns sine die on June 7. Poll surveys show a 9-3 or 8-4 win of the Liberal PartyNacionalista PartyNationalist Peoples Coalition (NPC) senatorial bets over candidates of the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) and other minor party groupings. In a recent dialogue with Senate reporters, Sen. Sergio R. Osmea III said one cannot deny that there would definitely be a change in the Senate leadership because the political division today is between the UNA and the pro-administration Team PNoy which consists of candidates from the LP , NPC and NP parties. Osmea said he expects the coalition of the three parties to hold as there are no huge ideological differences and that they are getting along well.

Biazon Mulls Customs Academy Creation

By RAYMUND F. ANTONIO
In his blog entitled, The Way It Is, Customs Commissioner Ruffy Biazon is lobbying for the establishment of a Customs Academy that will produce a new breed of career officials and employees in the Bureau of Customs (BOC). Customs management being a highly technical field, it will be beneficial to the service for officials and employees to be highly-educated and trained, he said. Biazon dismissed the suggestion that a revamp of personnel could help combat smuggling activities. Mere replacement of people involved, while necessary and significant, will not be the ultimate solution. A change in the system and the environment is needed, including a paradigm shift in how we view the role of Customs, not just in revenue collection and border security, but in trade
facilitation as well, he said. Biazon said he believes that the abolition of the present BOC and creation of a new entity may be one of the most effective ways to get it out from the perception of corruption. In this quest, he said he is banking on his former colleagues in the House of Representatives to help him. Biazon, a former Muntinlupa congressman, said lawmakers can include the establishment of a Customs Academy in their legislative agenda once the 16th Congress convenes in July of this year. He proposed the upgrading of the economic benefits of BOC officials and personnel and modernize their assets. He said that an increase in the salaries of BOC will reduce the urge to augment their income through alleged illicit activities. Other non-salary benefits could also
be offered to uplift the economic conditions of these employees, Biazon said. The Customs chief is being criticized anew on the issue of petroleum smuggling, which resulted to P30 billion in lost revenues. Biazon said it is ironic why he is being faulted for the illegal importation of oil products. The problem of smuggling is not one that just cropped up during my tenure as Customs Commissioner in the past 18 months nor in the Aquino administration from 2010 to the present. It is a problem that hounds every Customs administration not just in the Philippines but around the world, he said. Even the most technologically advanced Customs administrations face the same problem, the only difference is the magnitude of the problem and the dynamics of the system prevailing in each country, Biazon added.
Police Probe Taguig Shooting Incident

By FRANCIS T. WAKEFIELD
An employee of Taguig City Hall was gunned down Friday afternoon by a still unidentified assailant during a shooting incident in Taguig City, police disclosed. Senior Supt. Arthur Asis, chief of the Taguig City Police Station, identified the fatality as Jeff Gabriello Minglana, 40, married, of Ricahuerta St., Taguig City. Asis said that initial reports he received said the victim, who sustained four bullet wounds in the back of his body, was pronounced dead on ar-
rival at the Taguig-Pateros District Hospital after he was brought there by an ambulance. The police official said the shooting incident transpired at 5:25 p.m. along A. Bonifacio Road in front of Heavens Door School in Upper Bicutan. He said the victim was travelling along the area on board his motorcycle when he was shot in the back body by a still unidentified assailant who was armed with a pistol. The suspect then escaped on board a motorcycle driven by another cohort after seeing the victim fell to the ground. Minglana, according to police, was on his way home when he was attacked. Meanwhile, Taguig City Mayor Lani Cayetano condemned Minglanas killing and instructed the Taguig City Police to immediately solve the crime. She also relayed her condolences to the victims family and assured that the city government and police will do its best to give justice to the victim. Mariin kong kinokondena ang ginawang pamamaril sa isang kawani
ng Taguig City government. Inatasan ko na ang Taguig Police para gawin ang lahat para maresolba ang krimen at mapanagot ang nasa likod ng pagpaslang kay Jeff Gabriello Minglana (I strongly condemn the shooting of a Taguig city government employee. I have tasked the Taguig Police to do everything they can to resolve the crime and to hold liable those behind the killing of Jeff Gabriello Minglana), Cayetano said in a statement. Ako ay nakikiramay sa mga naulila ni Jeff at makaaasa po kayo na makikipagtulungan ang pamahalaang lungsod sa pulisya para mabigyan ng hustisya ang naganap sa inyong mahal sa buhay (I condole with the bereaved family. Rest assured that the city government will work with the police to bring justice to what has happened to your loved one), Cayetano added. Asis said he instructed police investigators to conduct an investigation for the immediate arrest of the suspects and solution to the case. He said part of the investigation is to determine whether or not the shooting incident is politically motivated.

MMDA Lauds Comelecs Motorcade Action

Take for instance this open message from 31-year-old Kat de Leon, who posted on her Facebook: Dear Campaigning Politicians, If you cause traffic especially during rush hours, you will automatically lose my vote. Its that simple. Sincerely, Annoyed Commuter Girl. Meanwhile, the Team PNoy said it is giving in to the petition of the MMDA to sanction candidates who cause unnecessary traffic jams in any of their street campaign activities. The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) yesterday thanked the Commission on Elections (Comelec) for taking up its suggestion to prohibit campaign motorcades, which have become the bane of motorists. In a statement issued Friday night, the MMDA said that Chairman Francis Tolentino, expresses his gratitude to the Comelec headed by Chairman Sixto Brillantes for granting the request of MMDA to prohibit campaign motorcades and caravans on major Metro Manila thoroughfares. This will greatly help the MMDA in effectively managing vehicular traffic during the campaign period. The MMDA will continue working with the Comelec to ensure a clean, peaceful, properly, and honest election, Tolentino said. Earlier that day, Brillantes revealed that Comelec was approving MMDAs proposal in principle and would release an official resolution next week. The Comelec chairman said that under the resolutionwhich is currently being draftedcampaign motorcades and caravans would be totally banned in major thoroughfares. On top of calling on the poll body to regulate campaign motorcades, the MMDA had also urged it to consider filing election offenses against erring candidates who would cause unnecessary traffic jams in any of their street campaign activities. We should make them realize the effect to the traffic flow of holding motorcades in major roads, especially when these are not coordinated with proper agencies, Tolentino said. He said Comelec should not treat this act with kid gloves, noting it should be considered as a serious election offense. In most serious cases, it should even be punishable by the candidates disqualification. This will not be a mere traffic violation but an election offense, Tolentino said, adding that the candidates right to campaign is not absolute. But perhaps the biggest motivator for politicians vying for national and local elective posts should be the feelings of the voters themselves.
Pediatric Cancer
By CZARINA NICOLE O. ONG
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) yesterday called on local government units (LGUs) to observe Cancer in Children Awareness Month in the whole month of April. The Department of Health (DOH) earlier declared this months observance in order to create public awareness on pediatric cancer. DOH said that cancer is a rare disease among children, adding that its cause is unknown so most of the time the cancer may be in its advanced stage by the time it is diagnosed. Childhood cancer affects children from birth to 19 years old. The various types of pediatric cancer include acute lymphocytic leukemia, bone cancer, brain and spinal cord cancer, Erwings sarcoma, Hodgkins lymphoma, non-Hodgkins lymphoma, neuroblastoma, osteoracoma, retinoblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and Wilms tumor. The most common symptoms of pediatric cancer are dizziness; vomiting; unexplained fever or recurring fever; unexplained weight loss; frequent headaches; fatigue; paleness; sudden eye or vision changes; excessive bruising or bleeding; swelling or pain in the joints, bones, pelvis, back or legs; lump in the armpit, leg, chest, stomach or pelvis; and recurring or persistent infections. In the Philippines, the most common pediatric cancer is acute lymphoblastic leukemia which is generally thought to start in the bone marrow, but leukemic blasts may be systematically present at the time of presentation.

WHO Hails Aquinos Health Leadership

The World Health Organization (WHO) is set to honor President Benigno S. Aquino III for his leadership in promoting public health in a ceremony celebrating this years World Health Day on April 8. Officials of the WHOWestern Pacific Region noted Aquinos stance in prioritizing health bills including the signing of the controversial Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Law of 2012. It is fitting that we celebrate World Health Day by recognizing President Aquinos exemplary leadership in public health. Among his most significant accomplishments have been raising taxes on tobacco and alcohol, and giving vulnerable Filipinos access to health insurance and to reproductive health care. He truly embodies the principle from which WHO derives so much of its direction and inspiration: that the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental right, WHO Regional Director for the Western Pacific Dr Shin Youngsoo said in a statement. This years World Health Day focuses on high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. Hypertension is the culprit in most heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular diseases. High blood pressure is what doctors term as one of the leading causes of preventable death. Public health policy needs to address high blood pressure. If it doesnt, then we wont be able to adequately address the epidemic of noncommunicable diseases that accounts for 80 percent of the deaths in our region. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for the cardiovascular diseases that account for about half of noncommunicable disease deaths. So, the connection between controlling high blood pressure and achieving our ambitious targets for the control of the noncommunicable diseases is plain, Dr. Shin said. High blood pressure is caused by behavioral or lifestyle factors including eating foods high in salt and fat, and excessive drinking, smoking, and physical inactivity. Data from WHO-Western Pacific Region said 37 percent of adults older than 24 have high blood pressure 40.4 percent in men and 34.9 percent in women. Moreover, 36.7 percent of adults aged 25 and older have raised blood cholesterol while 33.2 percent of people older than 15 years have insufficient physical activity. Also, 25.4 percent of adults older than 20 years are overweight, 24.8 percent of adults older than 15 smoke tobacco daily. Doctors also warn against metabolic risk factors such as diabetes, high blood cholesterol and obesity as these increase the risk of complications from high blood pressure, including heart disease, stroke, kidney failure and blindness. Many people do not know they have high blood pressure because it does not always manifest symptoms, making it a silent killer. High blood pressure complications account for 9.4 million deaths globally each year. One in three adults worldwide has high blood pressure. The proportion increases with age, from one in 10 people in their 20s and 30s to five in 10 in their 50s. Worldwide, it is estimated that high blood pressure causes 51 percent of deaths due to stroke and 45 percent due to heart disease, WHO warned.

Anelito Gabison, operation and safety manager, said they have also made sure to keep a distance of at least six meters away from the reef to make sure the marine life is not disturbed. General manager Jun Kim said they want to serve as many tourists as possible and will be offering the tours at a promo price of P1,200 each for local residents and P800 for children between five and 12 years old. They will not be charging children four years old and below. Kim said they have some 20 trips after getting their permit to operate from Marina. The submarine has been at the Imperial Palace Waterpark Resort and Spa in Lapu-Lapu City as one of its concessionaires since July last year. Gabison, who is a former Coast Guard commander, said the permit to operate the submarine took some time because the country did not have existing regulations for submersible vessels. The Marina and Philippine Coast Guard are expected to come up with a set of regulations within the month. The submarine, built in 1989 in Antwerp, Belgium, spans a length of 22.2 meters and weighs 99 tons. It can travel at a maximum speed of five knots and runs on an electrohydraulic system battery that lasts up to 72 hours. Kim said they have a drop weight installed in the submarines hull that can be released in the event of an emergency. The submarine was specifically built for tourists. Before it was transferred to Cebu, Kim said the submarine operated in Pattaya, Thailand, for five years before one of the investors came to the Philippines and decided it was better to have it here. He said it took two years for them to plan and work out its transfer to Cebu. (PNA)

File Complaint, Then We Investigate

By LESLIE ANN G. AQUINO
File a complaint. This was the advice of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) campaign manager and Navotas Rep. Toby Tiangco, who earlier accused the Kaya Natin Movement of buying votes for some of the Liberal Party (LP) senatorial bets. We dont motu propio investigate on vote-buying. There should be a formal complaint, and thats the only time that we will check because
when they file they should also have evidence, Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes said in a press briefing. We cannot rely on mere stories. In fact, I heard that the other camp (UNA) is also giving out Mercury Drug (gift cheques). If Im going to believe in those stories it seems both (camps) are doing the same thing, he added. To recall, Tiangco said the Comelec should look into the massive distribution of Mercu-
ry Drug and National Bookstore gift cheques worth P500 and P1,000 in Quezon City through the Kaya Natin Movement, saying he is convinced that the group is using it to influence
voters. The group is endorsing LP coalition candidates former Sen. Ramon Magsaysay Jr., former Akbayan Rep. Risa Hontiveros, Sen. Aquilino
Koko Pimentel III, and Bam Aquino in the 2013 polls. Brillantes is also convinced that its still too early for vote-buying particularly those involving cash.
Feast Of Saint John Today

By CHRISTINA I. HERMOSO
Catholics led by the De La Salle Christian Brothers commemorate today the Feast of Saint John Baptist de la Salle, the founder of the Brothers of the Christian Schools and the patron of all school teachers. Venerated as the Father of Modern Education, St. John remains well-venerated in many parts of the world including the Philippines. At the De La Salle University on Taft Avenue, Manila, devotees are expected to visit the Chapel of the Most Blessed Sacrament, where a 292-year-old relic of the saint, a gift from the Christian Brothers Institute in Rome, Italy on the Lasallian
centennial in 2011, is enshrined. The De La Salle Christian Brothers are members of a worldwide educational movement in over 900 schools within which 5,300 brothers and 77,000 Lasallian partners teach some 875,000 students in about 84 countries. The Brothers of Christian Schools became the catalyst and resource for other religious congregations dedicated to education that were founded in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Taiwan Wage...
NT$19,047.00 (P26,180.29). The adjustment will cover monthly-paid workers, to where our OFWfactory workers and those covered by the Labor Standards Act belong, Conferido said. He said the minimum wage of household-based caretakers remains at NT$15,480 (P21,268.90). Baldoz said this is good news not only for the overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) deployed in Taiwan, but for all workers in the country as well. We welcome this development as this would benefit a lot of workers. We know that the government of Taiwan ensures that the welfare of its workers is well taken care of, she said. Data from the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) shows that in 2012, there are 41,461 deployed OFWs in Taiwan. Conferido noted that the recommendation made last year by Taiwans Council of Labor Affairs (CLA) to adjust the minimum wage was rejected by the Executive Yuan due to the difficult economic situation of the country. However, the Executive Yuan said the proposed adjustment would only be approved if the countrys GDP grows by more than 3 percent for at least two
consecutive quarters, if the unemployment rate goes lower than 4 percent for at least two consecutive months, or if the Council for Economic Planning and Development will support the proposed adjustment based on its evaluation of the economy within the period. In addition, the Executive Yuan also requested the CLA to deliberate on the process of minimum wage adjustment and consider the practicability of adopting multi-minimum wages. Taiwans GDP achieved a growth rate of 3.42 percent during the fourth quarter of 2012. The first quarter 2013s GDP growth rate is also likely to be above 3 percent as continued improvement is seen in Taiwans finance, production management, and labor force market situation. According to the CLAs announcement, the Executive Yuan is encouraging the countrys business sector to exert more efforts to upgrade the working condition of workers and help improve the business climate, which is expected to benefit both the employer and employees in the long run. There are around 1,700,000 workers who stand to benefit from this adjustment, and it is expected that the adjustment will bring overall salary growth.

Obama Hosting Mideast Leaders Dialogues

WASHINGTON (AP) When President Barack Obama meets over the next month with leaders from Mideast and other regional nations, he will have a timely opportunity to try to rally the Syrian oppositions main backers around a unified strategy to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad. Jordan, Turkey, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, whose Sunni Muslim leaders will meet separately with Obama starting April 16, are all believed to be arming or training rebel forces seeking to overthrow Assads regime. But disparate political, geographic and religious considerations have led to conflicting approaches to which rebel factions to back and what kind of support to provide. Infighting among mostly Sunni opposition groups and their failure to agree on a power structure to take over if Assad falls has been an important factor aiding the Alawite president as he clings to power two years into a civil war that has left at least 70,000 dead. Alawites are an offshoot of Shiite Islam, and the civil war has largely broken down along sectarian lines. As resolute as Obama and most US allies are that Assad must go, officials are increasingly worried about what Syria will look like if the regime falls before opposition groups can agree on a governing structure. That has resulted in extra US pressure on regional allies to convince the opposition to unite. White House spokesman Jay Carney said the high-level visits by leaders from the four nations reflect Obamas deep personal interest in the region and his commitment to the policies the US is advocating. He will use these opportunities to discuss the complex developments in the broader Middle East, Carney said. Not just Syria, but including Syria. He pointed to other developments related to the Arab Spring and Obamas visit in March to Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian territories as other topics the president would likely discuss with the Arab leaders. Secretary of State John Kerry also is returning to the Middle East on Saturday for meetings on Syria and IsraeliPalestinian peace.
Tax Haven Data Leak Names

PARIS (AP) Its a data leak involving tens of thousands of offshore bank accounts, naming dozens of prominent figures around the world. And new details are being released by the day, raising the prospect that accounts based on promises of secrecy and tax shelter could someday offer neither. Among those named include a top campaign official in France, the ex-wife of pardoned oil trader Marc Rich, Azerbaijans ruling family, the daughter of Imelda Marcos and the late Baron Elie de Rothschild. The widespread use of offshore accounts among the wealthy is widely known - even Mitt Romney acknowledged stashing some of his millions in investments in the Cayman Islands. But this weeks leak, orchestrated by a Washington, D.C.-based group called the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, appeared to be the broadest in what has been a steady stream of information emerging about hidden money in recent years amid a wave of anger targeting the super-rich in an age of austerity. The leak allegedly involved records from 10 tax havens, where the worlds wealthy have long stashed funds. It uncovered a shadow network of empty holding companies and names essentially rented out to fill out boards of non-existent corporations, including a British couple listed as active in more than 2,000 entities, according to The Guardian newspaper, which participated in the global undertaking.

THE RISE OF THE SOUTH

By FIDEL V. RAMOS Former Philippine President
A CALL FOR SIMPLICITY, HUMILITY

Cardinal Tagle, in his homilies and writings, reminds Church leaders to be more open and humble. The Church must ARCHBISHOP learn humility CARDINAL TAGLE from Jesus, he says, noting that spreading the faith in a secularizing world would be more effective if the Church learned to listen to the people. He asks Church leaders to reach out to people in their communities, particularly the youth, observing that young people want to be connected. That is the basic of the faith to be connected to God, connected to others, to the Church. We need to go back to that fundamental, he said. On December 11, 2011, during his

IS Eminence, the Archbishop of Manila Luis Antonio G. Cardinal Tagle, participated in the papal conclave that elected Pope Francis as the 226th Bishop of Rome on March 13, 2013. Like Pope Francis, Cardinal Tagle is noted for being simple and humble. His simplicity, humility, and compassion for the poor have impressed the Catholic faithful as well as Church leaders in the Philippines.
WHO CAN HURT US LEAST

Reflections Today
Economic growth alone does not automatically translate into human development pro grams 2013 UNHD Report H E c u rrent UN Human Development Report underscores a new phenomenon in the performance of 186 membercountries that were rated. The wide-ranging analysis by the United Nations Development Programme headed by UNDP Administrator Helen Clark (former Prime Minister of New Zealand, 1999-2008) summarizes that when developed countries of the Western World stopped growing during the 2008-2009 financial crisis, developing economies kept on progressing and global markets took notice. Despite this favorable forward movement of developing countries, however, the Philippines overall ranking declined further during the second year of President Aquino IIIs incumbency. The Human Development Index is a well-known series of measurements of the quality of life for Earths people, and has to do with health, nutrition, longevity, housing, basic education, literacy, environmental quality, water supply, jobs/ livelihood, per capita income, electric power, transportation access/ communications, the rule of law, and other socio-economic-political parameters. The Rise of the South, as this upward trend of emerging markets is called, is both the result of continual human development investments/achievements, and the opportunity for still greater progress for the world as a whole, according to the UNDP . When dozens of countries and billions of people move up the development ladder, as they are doing today, this has a direct, positive impact on the alleviation of poverty and wealth creation. The Rise of the South is unprecedented in its speed and scale, and must be seen as the dramatic expansion of individual capabilities and the catching-up of less developed countries thru their creative policy initiatives. The Highlighted 18 A number of developing countries have done particularly well. Some of the larger, more competitive emerging markets have made rapid advances in upgrading the quality of peoples lives, fighting poverty,

RECEIVE, PASS ON GODS MERCY

JOHN 20:19-31 N the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, Peace be with you. When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so I send
you. And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained. Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when
Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Unless I see the mark of the nails in His hands and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my hand into His side, I will not believe. Now a week later, His disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in

raised again. In todays Gospel, John narrates to us that Jesus appeared once more to His disciples. On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, Peace be with you! After He said this, He showed them His hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. One of the 12 disciples Thomas was not present when Jesus appeared. At first, he did not believe that Jesus was alive. Jesus appeared to him and Thomas then believed. Jesus said to him, Have you come

The men in clothes that gleamed like lightning had said to the women and disciples looking for Jesus, He is not here; He has risen!

ST. JOHN BAPTIST DE LA SALLE, PATRON OF SCHOOL TEACHERS

ODAY, we remember the life and works of St. John Baptist de la Salle, Patron of School Teachers and Founder of the Institute of the Brothers of Christian Schools. St. John Baptist de la Salle was born on April 30, 1651 at Rheims in France, the eldest child of Louis de la Salle and Nicolle de Moet de Brouillet. He belonged to a family of lawyers and his mother was hoping that he would follow in their familys tradi-

tion. However, the young De la Salle wanted to serve the church. On March 11, 1662, at the age of 11, he received the PATRON tonsure and on ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST January 7, 1667, he was named canon of Rheims Cathedral.
After completing his classical, literary, and philosophical course, La Salle entered the Seminary of Saint-Sulpice on October 18, 1670. On June 2, 1672, he was ordained subdeacon at Cambria and became a deacon on March 12, 1676. On a Holy Saturday on April 9, 1678, he was ordained priest. In 1679, he was asked to help in the opening of a free school in Rheims. He assisted in the

NCE the great Catholic English writer G.K. Chesterton was playing a little quiz game with some friends. He asked, If you were shipwrecked and alone on a deserted island, what one book, above all others, would you wish to have with you? *** One of the friends immediately said The Bible, and gave a pious reason for his selection. Another said A volume of Shake-
speare, and gave a very learned reason for wanting Shakespeare. *** Chesterton said, Well, if I were allowed just one book on that deserted island, I would choose a manual of instruction on boat building. Chesterton didnt intend to belittle
the power of the Bible but in times of survival, he chose the most practical means. *** Easter is a feast of our redemption brought about by Christs sufferings, death, and resurrection. But remember: He already saved us more than 2,000 years ago. What we have been doing is to commemorate that great redemptive event. Whats needed is

HE Spanish intellectual Miguel de Unamuno once wrote that it is a universal trend among voters to adhere more to personalities than to political platforms. They choose someone who appears to incar nate the qualities of a good leader. This should somehow console us Filipinos, who are often contemptuously labeled as personality-oriented during election. Candidates are aware of this, so in the campaign trail, they out-talk, out-sing, even out-dance one another as they take turns persuading voters that they are the right persons for public office. If there is nothing wrong with personalism in politics, why do we usually end up choosing the wrong persons to govern us? Perhaps, it is because our personalism in politics has been distorted by a flawed democratic process that is a product of our history. Ideally, democracy works on the premise that human beings are capable of making correct judgment and responsible human decisions. Without this, democracy is a dance of fools, and the electoral process decays into blind ritualism. When our colonial rulers introduced the democratic system of government to us, it was a case of too much, too soon. Democracy was bestowed on us before we were ready for it. The masses hardly realized that voting was an exercise of sovereignty. Enterprising power brokers were quick to take advantage of the situation. Glenn Mays masterful account of 19th century elections in the Philippines yields this startling conclusion: Perhaps the greatest curiosity about political power in the late 19th century Philippine communities may have been that it resided neither in the electorate (who could be, and generally were bribed, cajoled, threatened, and otherwise influenced), nor even in the elected, but rather in men who often took no official part in the election. The election was, in effect, a marionette play, where the puppets on the stage performed according to a script and the men behind the scene pulled the strings. Very little has changed since. Many politicians today are mere dummies of power brokers (businessmen, landlords, religious

ILLIONS of Filipino students graduating this summer are all expectant of a bright future. Those finishing elementary, totaling 1.85 million from the public school system alone, are looking forward to making the big leap to high school. Those finishing high school, about 1.17 million from public institutions and more from private ones, hope to continue their post-secondary education. The more than half a million young adults graduating from college are the most hopeful of finding gainful employment, starting a career, and helping their families.

groups and sects, multinationals, political dynasties) who often operate behind the scene. These invisible puppeteers perpetuate in our government leaders the mind-frame that continues to damage real democracy. Glenn May describes such a mind-frame thus: The leaders of Philippine communities have learned NOT how to serve government, but how to use government for ones own interest. No wonder, although candidates during election parrot public service as their campaign slogan, what gets them the votes is their political machinery oiled by the wealth and influence of hidden power brokers. This can explain the indifference and cynicism with which many Filipinos regard election. Candidates who personify good governance are few and far between. So, we are forced to settle with the person who can hurt us least.

tertiary syphilis (apathy, dementia, seizure). On the other hand, as was the fashion of his day, he was no stranger to opium (one end effect of which is dysphoria intense feelings of discontent, anxiety, and depression). Panic Attack. A panic attack is a sudden episode of intense fear that triggers severe physical reactions when there is no real danger or apparent cause. (MayoClinic.com) It can happen anytime, anywhere lasting for as long as 10 minutes. The signs and symptoms are: Sense of impending doom or danger. Fear of loss or death. Tachycardia (rapid heart rate more than 100 beats per minute). Sweating. Trembling. Shortness of breath. Nausea. Abdominal cramping. Chest pain (feeling one is getting a heart attack). Dizziness. Trouble swallowing and tightness in the throat. Causes and Risk Factors. Genetics plays a role, as does major stress, and the temperament for some to be more susceptible to stress. If there is significant stress serious illness of a loved one or death the risk of a panic attack increases. It doesnt help if there is a family history of panic attacks. Diagnostic Criteria. Psychiatrists are guided by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Getting a panic attack does not mean that you have a panic disorder. There are criteria to be met to arrive at a diagnosis of panic disorder. These are: 1. Frequent unexpected panic attacks. 2. An attack has been followed by one month or more of ongoing worry of getting another panic attack; ongoing fear of the consequences of an attack such as losing control. 3. Panic attacks are not caused by substance abuse or another mental health condition such as obsessive compulsive disorder or social phobia. Treatment. The doctor to trust is the psychiatrist and he or she may be part of a mental health team that includes a psychologist, social health worker, spiritual adviser (e.g. pastor or chaplain), and other professionals. The goal of treatment is to eliminate all panic attacks. The doctor may consider psychotherapy and medications. Filipino psychiatrists lament the tremendous stigma of mental disorder and the consequent resistance to seeking help. But then the first step to cure is to recognize that you do need help. At my latest check, there are 141 listed psychiatrists in this useful website RxPinoy (http://www. rxpinoy.com). As for Nietzche, clinicians a century later are proposing that he had a form of hereditary stroke disorder that led him to mental illness. It was nevertheless a sad ending for the philosopher who said that God is dead. E-mail: jspujalte@yahoo.com
LLOW me this beautiful morning to express that the Balikatan exercises we are launching today are power ful and living symbols of the long-standing security relationship between the Philippines and the United States. These exercises breath life and meaning to our obligations as treaty partners. Just as importantly, the Balikatan exercises and others like it are important practical and strategic elements in building the capacity of the Philippines to secure and defend itself. The joint exercises we hold every year with the United States are rooted in our common history and in our shared values. These are roots that run deep. In four days we will commemorate the uncommon courage of Filipino and American soldiers who fought side by side in Bataan and Corregidor. In four days we will honor their heroism and sacrifice -- their willingness to lay down their lives for democracy, freedom and liberty. Unchanging Common Values These common and sacred values -- unchanging in victory or in defeat, immutable in the face of challenges old or new, great or small -- are what held us together then. These gave us the strength to stand together even in the face of overwhelming odds. Today these same values are what make the bonds between our two nations strong. These are the values that sustain our security relationship. This relationship remains robust and vigorous -- forged by our shared sacrifices in the Pacific War, by our standing boldly together in the dark days of the Cold War, and in facing todays current and pressing challenges. Stronger Security Relationship Together, we continue to build on that relationship. Just In the past three months, weve had key high level exchanges and discussions centered on our security relationship. US congressional delegations led by the chairmen of the Foreign Affairs Committee and the Veterans Committee were in Manila. Defense Deputy Secretary Ashton Carter was also here. This week, I met with both Secretary of State John Kerry and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel in Washington. In all these discussions, both sides reiterated their firm commitments as strategic partners and

treaty allies. Investing in Our Own Defense These key officials have pledged to work with us to build our own capacity to defend ourselves. And defend ourselves we will. The Philippines is investing in its own defense at levels never seen before. But we understand clearly that we can increase the value of these investments through joint training and other agreed activities with our allies. Joint training with the United States results in savings on training expertise and training equipment and other resources -- savings that can be used instead to purchase more much needed equipment and materiel. A Crucial Time for Philippine and Regional Security This years Balikatan comes at a crucial time for my country and my region. For our region, excessive and exaggerated maritime and territorial claims have not only created uncertainty but have undermined the rule of law. Regional peace and stability have been placed at serious risk. For my country, we need to secure our borders and protect our territorial integrity more vigorously than we have before. Balikatan, with its complex and comprehensive set of exercises, is an important contribution in not only preparing both our armed forces to work together, but also in building my countrys own capacity to defend itself. I am glad to note that there are exercises that help prepare our two nations for the increased rotational presence of US forces in approved areas in the Philippines. This will be crucial in our efforts in the short term to establish our minimum credible defense posture and in the long term to build a more robust national defense structure.
Facing Natural Disasters The Balikatan exercises also address another serious threat to the security of my country and that of the region natural disasters. The United Nations has identified our region as the most prone to natural disasters. It is significant that there is again a strong humanitarian assistance and disaster response component to this years Balikatan. Over the years we have shown that working together in facing natural disasters we are able to save more lives and rebuild more quickly the futures of those affected. I am particularly pleased to note that there is a multilateral dimension once again in this years Balikatan, involving a number of countries (invited are: Australia, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Republic of Korea, Thailand, Vietnam). The multilateral roundtable discussion in this years Balikatan will focus on cooperation on humanitarian assistance and disaster response in our region. They will be discussing a topic of great importance to all of us, and in doing so also help build trust and confidence in our region. A Soldiers Duty A diplomats greatest fear is that in failing to build peace, soldiers will have to be called upon to do their duty and place themselves in harms way. This fear is mitigated by the knowledge that allies stand by us. It is lessened by the knowledge, that our men and women in uniform are prepared to face the consequences when diplomacy falls short. It is allayed by the fact that our brave soldiers are willing and able to succeed where diplomacy may fail. In the Footsteps of Heroes Today men and women from the armed forces of the Philippines and the United States will once again stand side by side for the common good and for the values that define our two nations. Your commitment to keep the peace and protect our freedoms reverberates with the spirit of honor and valor of the Filipino and American soldiers who had marched before you seven decades ago. You walk side by side, in the footsteps of heroes, with the same courage, determination and sense of sacrifice necessary to protect our nations and our peoples in todays world. We stand before you in awe and we salute you.
to believe because you have seen Me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed. How many times have we felt this way that we always need proof of other persons love in any form? The readings today remind us that Gods love is everlasting and has no end. As we continue to face the challenges of life, cling only to God and Him alone, for His love has no measure, time or place, He is present in any form and space. Let not the Thomas in ourselves win over us. Instead let us trust the Lord with all our heart and always remember to be not afraid as there is a God especially looking after us.

we will be part of an integrated Southeast Asian community spanning about three percent of the worlds total land area. The ASEAN economic community will have a market of 600 million people and a collective Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of nearly US$2 trillion, which will make it the ninth largest economy in the world. As a single market and production base, ASEAN aims to promote the free flow of goods, services, investment, capital, and labor across its 10 member nations. In short, integration will also mean competition for resources. For our young graduates, that could mean greater competition for jobs here and within the region. Compared with our neighbors, we are middling at best. Based on a study by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB), the Philippines ranks 5th in terms of both annualized GDP growth rate (14.1) and annualized GDP per capita growth rate (12.2) from 2005 to 2010. Zooming past us in both these indicators are Myanmar, Indonesia, Lao PDR, and Vietnam. While our numbers are nominally larger than theirs, save for Indonesias, they are narrowing the gap quickly.
In terms of ranking in the human development index a composite statistic of life expectancy, education, and income indices we lag behind our wealthier neighbors Singapore and Brunei, as well as our peers Malaysia and Thailand. These, and several other macroeconomic, education, and human development indicators, are consistent with our competitiveness ranking vis--vis the rest of the ASEAN as measured by the World Economic Forum. If we do not improve at a faster clip, we might see our minimal advantage over less developed neighbors erode completely in the next few years. Secondly, our graduates will set out for the real world as our country enters its demographic window, a period that will last from 2015 to 2050. During this time, our working-age population will be at its largest, meaning there would be less children and elderly dependent on every working Filipino. The dividends to be reaped here are higher per capita income, government revenues, and national savings which can be mobilized for investment in short, potentially unprecedented progress and prosperity. Some economists estimate
that demographic dividends could yield 1 to 2 percentage points increase in income growth. But this is opportunity is not unique to us. Developing countries across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Carribean will enter their respective demographic windows until 2070. This is our best chance not only to bridge the gap between us and the developed nations, but also avoid being overtaken by other emerging economies. This is the future awaiting our young graduates a future rife with promise and challenges. With regard those about to embark on the world of work, we hope they have been sufficiently equipped, through education and development opportunities, to ably perform in a more integrated, competitive market. With regard to those still in school, may the reforms we have set in motion help them stand shoulder to shoulder with the best in the world in the future. We must not let up on helping our youth harness their talents and skills. Because in fulfilling their potential, they will also have fulfilled our countrys.

establishment of another free school at St. Jacques parish. This started his involvement for the education of the poor. He sold all his possessions to be able to establish schools for the poor children. With twelve teachers to form a community, he founded the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. At the request of King James II of England, he opened a school for the sons of the kings supporters. About the same time, he started a Sunday academy for the children of artisans. The newly formed order met opposition from ecclesiastical authorities. His innovative methods and his insistence on free education, regardless of whether they could afford to pay, also met oppositions from educational establishments. However, De la Salle hurdled all these trials. He spent the last years of his life at the College of St. Yon in Rouen,
where the novitiate had been transferred in 1705. Worn out by asthma and rheumatism illness and austerities, he passed away on Good Friday, April 7, 1719, at the age of 67. In 1725, Pope Benedict XIII recognized and approved the rule of the Institute of the Christian Brothers. St. John Baptist de la Salle was canonized on May 24, 1900, by Pope Leo XIII. He was declared patron of school teachers in 1950 by Pope Pius XII. As we remember St. John Baptist de la Salle, let us be inspired by his example in uplifting the lives of the poor children through education with moral teachings so that the youth will be guaranteed with brighter future side by side with good character.

In the above story, G.K.Chesterton tells us to be resourceful and practical in confronting our problems, whether financial, social, political, or spiritual. As the saying goes, God helps those who help themselves. *** Not too long ago a middle-aged man approached me for counseling. I lost my job, Father, he lamented. Ive been praying to God to help me. I make novenas in Quiapo, but my prayers are not answered. *** After listening patiently to his story, I asked for referrals. I rang them up and. to my surprise, a different version
came out. The man owed the company where he worked R20,000 which he could not account. The manager told him to pay the amount first before rehiring him. *** Thats how he lost his job. But in the meantime, he was not doing anything practical, like borrowing money or doing some odd jobs in order to gradually liquidate the debt, except praying. Praying is, of course, important. But along with prayer, he should have raised small amounts to pay the company so he could be reinstated. *** Yes, Christ saved us. He is still helping us but He doesnt work miracles to solve our problems. We must be resourceful and do everything humanly
possible, except resorting to immoral means like stealing. As a successful businessman puts it, I do my best; God does the rest. *** THE LIGHTER SIDE. Man, driving around looking for a parking space, prays desperately, Lord, have pity on me. I have a very important meeting. If you give me a parking place now, I will go to Mass every Sunday, give up drinking and womanizing. Just then a van was backing out from a parking lot. The man looked up and said, Never mind, Lord.

A child, especially the unborn, is a gift; the youth are a promise; women are not objects but persons; laborers are not machines but partners; the poor are precious; and creation is a sign of Gods sustaining love, he said. Following his elevation to the College of Cardinals during the Vatican Consistory on November 24, 2012, he vowed to be a humble listener to the needs of the faithful and to bring more focus in instilling God and family values in the lives of Filipino Catholics.

their midst and said, Peace be with you. Then He said to Thomas, Put your finger here and see My hands, and bring your hand and put it into My side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe. Thomas answered and said to Him, My Lord and my God! Jesus said to him, Have you come to believe because you have seen Me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed. Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples that are not written in this book. But these are written that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in His name. REFLECTION Peace be with you. The greatest attribute of God is mercy. God is love. But love that stoops to weakness, poverty, suffering, and sinfulness is mercy. Because we are weak and sinful, the Lord shows His love to us as mercy. The risen Jesus shows mercy to His disciples when, on meeting them together for the first time, after they almost to a man abandoned Him, He grants them mercy by saying to them, Peace be with you not once but twice, and a third with Thomas present. Having made them experience His mercy, Jesus gives them the Holy Spirit and commissions them to grant mercy to others: Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them. We, too, have received Gods mercy. Let us proclaim and pass on that mercy to other people by sharing it with them, by showing mercy to others through forgiveness and acts of compassion. And let us pray that other people, too, may know, welcome, receive, and pass on the mercy of God. Be a living sign of Gods mercy received and Gods mercy passed on.

PROPER DRESS CODE IN CHURCH

Can we dress more appropriately when we go to Church?
It is the house of God. It is a Holy Place. It is but proper to
dress modestly while we are in a place of worship. Dressed inappropriately, we can be a distraction to others. Why do we follow the "dress code" when we go to a museum, a library or some high-end dining place, BUT forget our own "dress code" when we are in Church? Shorts. Spaghetti straps. Mini skirts. Plunging necklines. Bare backs: Can we choose the proper attire for even just the time we attend the Holy Mass? Do we need to be provided with shawls, as other Parishes do, for women, who are scantily-clothed, especially when receiving HOLY COMMUNION? We must not forget that we, boys and girls, men and women, young and old alike, must receive our Lord with the utmost respect. The wedding entourage, including the bride, should not forget that a wedding is not an occasion to showcase fashion trends but rather a BLESSED occasion of receiving a SACRAMENT OF LOVE. As parishioners of your respective church, together with your priests and parish organizations, let us make a firm stand and crusade towards PROPER DRESS AND CHURCH DECORUM. We can make the difference, if we begin with ourselves, our family, our employees and helpers.
Let Us Start Now.

PAGBILAO, Quezon This town, known as one of the countrys key energy producers, is set for a one-onone showdown in the May polls with the mayor whose family has ruled over two decades eyeing to pass on the torch to his daughter, but not without a challenge from a newcomer who dreams of changing the face of local politics. Pagbilao is a first class municipality in the province of Quezon and based on the 2010 census, this coastal area on the northern shore of Tayabas Bay, just east of Lucena City, has a population of 83,831 people. It has a total land area of 17,760 hectares. For years, this municipality has supplied electricity for the Luzon Grid, the Team Energy, operated between Japanese firms Tokyo Electric Power Company and Marubeni Corporation. Team Energy is one of the largest independent power producers (IPPs) with over 2,000 megaWatts installed generating capacity located at island Grande in Barangay Polo in this town. Pagbilao has focused its development goals and objectives on its agricultural program, but of late has also widened its horizons to new industries. And with the dawning of the Tourism Highway Program of the Department of Tourism (DOT), Pagbilao now is determined to keep its cultural, social, and religious legacies well-preserved. Economic activities geared towards total development will be enhanced. Amid this backdrop, the May election showdown here has become nothing, but exciting with a man and a woman as the protagonists the incumbent mayors daughter Coun-

Portes-Palicpic has learned well from her father who has been the mayor for almost 15 years. After completing three consecutive terms, Mayor Romar Portes made a second comeback in the 2010 polls after resting one-term, during which his wife Venus took over as mayor from 2007 to 2010. His daughter was planning on a second term as councilor, but their clan decided to push her for the mayoralty post. Suiting up as the last-minute chal-

A son of retired government workers Virginia and Domingo, he is currently the business consultant of Agility International Manpower Services Solutions (IMS), Inc. Agriculture, Education, Livelihood, Sports, Peace and Order, Health and Housing are the main agenda of both candidates if they are given the chance to lead this town. The people of Pagbilao are longing for a mayor that will propel this town to being a center of commerce. They lament that even with the abundance in energy resources of the town, one can count on the fingers of both hands the commercial firms or establishments to go to.

But, according to Luce, his administration will twist the old system of management and politics as he shared his experience that he borrowed from his previous bosses Senators Panfilo Lacson and TJ Guingona, for whom he served as their provincial coordinator back in 2001-2004 and 2007. Luce said he has contacted investors who have pledged to help him pour in investments in Pagbilao for the creation of jobs and livelihood. At the same time, the music man wants to develop the agricultural viability of farmers by intensifying programs on organic farming, extending the flow of water to farmers farmlands in the countryside, and give more support to village fishermen. In investments, Luce disclosed that he is planning to give incentives to overseas workers that will put up their businesses whether small or medium enterprises, and make this town an investor-friendly municipality. Comparatively, Portes-Palicpic has a plan to institutionalize a socialized housing program that may arise in the near future for informal settlers. She plans to win over the electorate with her slogan Sa katalinuhan at kakayahan ay pinagtiwalaan; Sa mga nagawa ay nasubukan; Sa mga dapat gawin ay maaasahan. Luce, on the other hand, has this slogan from the heart: Pagbilawin ako, Mahal ko ang bayan Natin; Kailangan na ang pagbabago; May nagawa na, May ginagawa na, May gagawin pa. They have both taken their platforms of government to the barangays, walking the streets and running very traditional house-to-house campaigns. As this developed, Mayor Romar Portes said his administration continues to fast-track its pending infrastructure projects which include the on-going construction of phase 2 of a multi-purpose building-livelihood center and the municipal heath center situated at the heart of the town, regardless who wins in May.
WAH Project Goes From Tarlac To 4 Other Luzon Areas

By ANNA LIZA VILLAS-ALAVAREN
For its positive impact on enhancing the health care system in Tarlac, the Wireless Access for Health (WAH) Project that uses 3G wireless technology in public health information system will be expanded to several provinces in Luzon, said an official from the Department of Health (DOH). In a press conference held in Makati City, Benito Arca, assistant regional director, DOH-Ilocos, said the WAH project will be replicated initially in four provinces in Luzon including Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union and Pangasinan. We hope the project can help those families who have no access to health care after the anticipated improvement on access to accurate and timely patient information for health workers. That way, we can be able to reach out underprivileged persons residing a geographically isolated and depressed areas, said Arca. Under the project, local government units will adopt the WAH electronic-health program by providing training for management teams, composed of health personnel, at the regional and provincial levels. We have witnessed the tremendous benefits the WAH project has already brought the people of Tarlac and
we look forward to working with our allies here in Ilocos from both public and private sectors, said Arca. The project was first implemented in 2009, successsully adopted in 37 cities and rural clinics within and outside Tarlac Province. With the use of the project, clinics are now able to accommodate 2,000 patients daily, and as of March this year, more than 250,000 patient consultations and 220,000 patient records have been recorded through the WH platform. Traditionally, information has been manually recorded on paper by health care providers, which is a time consuming process. But three years after, the WAH project in Tarlac streamlines the reporting process for clinicians and decision makers by utilizing 3G wireless technology, building upon and strengthening the existing Community Health Information Tracking System (CHITS), an electronic medical records system. Citing the local officials is a major factor to the success of the project, Arca said they hope that the system could provide complete and comprehensive information about the health situation in the provinces that could guide them in delivering needed health care services and crafting policies for the benefit of the constituents, said Arca.

SOCIAL PROTECTION
ILOILO CITY, Iloilo The Aquino government is putting high premium in social protection programs as part of its thrust of spending on right priorities. This was according to Budget Secretary Florencio Abad in a recent press conference in Iloilo City. Abad bared that this year, the Aquino government has earmarked P44 billion for its poverty-alleviation program Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), with a target of 4,000,000. In 2010, we had only P10 billion for 4Ps with one million beneficiaries, he said. Abad also said that for the first time, government is moving to eliminate the problem of lack of classrooms as all the classrooms needed will be established, and the hiring of all needed teachers to be undertaken. We will hire 66,000 teachers who will be employed this May to fill in all vacant slots, Abad said. He also said that in terms of public health, government is subsidizing 100 percent Philhealth premiums of some 10 million indigent families. Also, the Department of Health is allocating P13 billion to build rural health units in the country, while the Department of Public Works and Highways has funds for the complete rehabilitation, repair and construction of needed roads and bridges by the end of 2016. Abad told media that the issues on budget cuts for state universities and colleges (SUCs) are not true as, in fact, the budget for SUCs was raised by 44 percent this year, from P26.1 billion in 2012 to P37.1 billion.

CEBU CITY, Cebu Unlike most candidates forums where participants debate, point at each others flaws and brag about their accomplishments in public, organizers of the Mega Cebu: Candidates Fora 2013 stressed that the event is not a debate but a provision of a platform where candidates can share views on pressing issues. The forums will be held on the following dates: April 10, 19 and 25 and is initiated by the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc., (RAFI) in collaboration with various concerned sectors here. All the sessions will be conducted at the Cebu Cultural Center which is across the University of the Philippines Cebu Campus. Forum organizer, Cebu Daily News publisher Eileen Mangubat, said the Fora will be a venue where candidates can share their views on
how they can help realize the vision of a Mega Cebu by 2050. The for a is non-partisan and will give candidates a level playing field in discussing their plans and explain their agenda, said Mangubat. This is a much more productive way to get the candidates responses, she said, adding that the topics to be discussed include infrastructure, urban planning, traffic and transport, peace and order, poverty, livelihood projects, environment, and culture and heritage. Movement for a Livable Cebu (MLC) co-convenor Marc Canton also said the forum is a chance to hear the views of the candidates beyond their campaign slogans. The first of the forums will be on April 10 with Cebus 1st district candidates; among those who have already confirmed their attendance are Talisay City mayoralty candidate, Rep.
Eduardo Gullas; Carcar Mayor Nice Apura; independent Carcar mayoralty candidate, Mariano Alegarbes; and San Fernando mayoralty candidate Lakambini Reluya.

Veterans Exhibit
With the forthcoming celebration of Veterans Week in the country, the Philippine Veterans Bank (PVB) brought its World War II Traveling Exhibit in General Santos City that will run until April 14. In simple ceremonies, the exhibit was formally opened by Veterans Federation of the Philippines District Commander Nazario Fermil, PVB Vice President Mike Villa-Real, PVB General Santos Branch Manager Norberta Magtajas, and SM General Santos HR Head Alexis de los Santos. The multi-awarded and much traveled exhibit, entitled War of Our Fathers, is on display at the 2nd floor of the new SM City General Santos to captivate viewers with its wide array of World War II photographs, memorabilia, and artifacts that pay tribute to the bravery, patriotism, and determination of Filipinos men and women who fought and died for our countrys freedom during the war, as well as for those who survived those dark years. Since 2006, the World War II Traveling Exhibit has been on a mission to share to the public, especially to the youth, the legacy of our World War II Filipino veterans, and the value of freedom that they fought for decades ago. The traveling exhibits stop in General Santos City is courtesy of the Veterans Federation of the Philippines in partnership with the municipality of Polomolok and SM City General Santos.
LONGER BALLOTS
COTABATO CITY The Commission on Elections (Comelec) reported completing the printing of ballots for use in the upcoming countrys first synchronized polls, with the 1.3 million voters of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) having the longest poll sheet to fill up. The extra-sized ballots would mean the ARMM voters spending longer time in voting precincts than the rest of the countrys 52 million electors. But the poll body does not provide extra time for voters from the ARMM to fill up their ballots, allotting a uniform voting period across the nation. (Ali Macabalang)
PAGADIAN CITY In an effort to promote healthy living and preservation of the environment, the provincial government of Zamboanga del Sur (ZDS) has established the Zamboanga del Sur Provincial College and Center for Organic Farming in an aim to promote organic farming in the province. Through the initiative of Zamboanga del Sur Governor Antonio Tony Cerilles, the Zamboanga del Sur Provincial College and Center for Organic Farming was established in Aurora town and is already in full operation. According to Cerilles, the centers operation is anchored on the Organic Agriculture Program of the Department of Agriculture (DA) under Republic Act (RA) 10068 or the Organic Act of 2010. Cerilles said that organic farming promotes fishery, poultry, livestock production, and propagation of vegetables without the use of synthetic chemicals like pesticides, fertilizers, and other agricultural growing aids. He said that a considerable portion of the center was allocated for planting organic vegetables; a field for organic rice farming; fishery, poultry and live-
stock production; cassava and corn gardens; an orchard for organic fruit trees; and even a garden for ornamental plant production. While the remaining area hosts the Zamboanga del Sur Provincial College and the Center for Organic Farming, according to supervising agriculturist Arlene Zacal, who is in-charge of the facility. She said that products harvested from the center are proven to be safe for consumption, rich in vitamins, and disease-free the key factors in promoting healthy living. Cerilles said that the provincial government is enthusiastically promoting organic farming, particularly to the farmers engaged in rice production, and expressed hope that in the next Agri-Pinoy Awards, the province can already present a full organic rice harvest. The center aims to provide the students with a hands-on experience to supplement their knowledge. According to Dr. Rino Soria, D.V .M., head of the Livestock Production Group, said the center was established by Cerilles purposely to provide the students enrolled in Animal Husbandry or Animal Science courses to undertake actual procedures, like how to raise
swine, among others, and not merely concentrate on written procedures. Soria said the center will also offer other short courses on agriculture like organic vegetable production, poultry and swine production, and other related subjects. It was learned that these short courses, which will be accredited by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), will provide agricultural knowledge to individuals who had graduated from high school and could not proceed with their college education, including those that have reached college but could not afford to complete their respective courses, and the out-ofschool youth. Cerilles said that the youth is the target of the provincial government to directly benefit under the program. For his part, provincial administrator Taton Padayhag said that a considerable number of farmers in the province had started accepting the concept of organic farming, and on several occasions, visited the center. The whole world is advocating organic farming, and if we only absorb it in ourselves, we can really see the goodness of this program, an agriculturist in the province said.

POWER SOURCE
KIDAPAWAN CITY To augment the power needed to supply the needs of North Cotabato, the Cotabato Electric Cooperative (Cotelco) is set to purchase a five-megawatt generating unit, a spokesman for the coop said. The procurement would be under a Build-Operate-Transfer scheme, according to Cotelco spokesman Vincent Baguio. He said the coop management has approached at least two independent power producers operating in Mindanao where they could purchase the generation set. For this to be operational, Baguio said the Cotelco will seek approval from the Energy Regulatory Commission, one of the government agencies that enforced power regulation. (Malu Cadelina Manar)

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY (PNA) The City Council here has approved the appropriation of P1.5 million for the purchase of 20 motorcycles to augment police operations here, City Vice Mayor Ian Acenas said over the weekend. Acenas said that the City Council favorably acted on the request of City Mayor Vicente Emano who received a letter from the Cagayan de Oro City Police Office asking for motorcycles to be used for police operations here. Police Sr. Supt.

generating jobs, delivering social justice, and commitment to equitable, democratic governance at the local and national levels to fulfill persons basic needs. Notable among these emergents are Brazil, China, India, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Mexico, Chile, and Turkey. Even smaller economies included in these highlighted 18 model national performers are newly attractive Tunisia, Vietnam, Laos, Bangladesh, Uganda, Rwanda, Ghana, and Mauritius. UNFORTUNATELY, THE PHILIPPINES IS NOT PART OF THESE 18 EXEMPLARS APPARENTLY BECAUSE OF OUR LACKLUSTER PERFORMANCE (SINCE 2000 UP TO NOW), AND CERTAINLY OUR ERRATIC TREND OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR OUR EVER-EXPANDING POPULATION, LOOKING AT THE PAST DECADE. The 2013 UNHD Report points out that: For the first time in 150 years, the combined output of the developing worlds three leaders Brazil, China, and India is equal to the combined GDP of the long-standing industrial powers of the North Canada, France, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, and the US This represents power: In 1950, Brazil, China, and India together represented only 10% of the world economy, while the six traditional economic leaders of the North accounted for more than half. According to UNHD projections, by 2050, Brazil, China, and India will together account for 40% of global output, far surpassing the future combined production of todays G-7 economic bloc. The middle classes in Asia and the southern hemisphere are growing rapidly in size, income, and expectations. The sheer number of people in the so-called South or the developing/less-developed countries that count billions of consumers/citizens multiplies global human development consequences from positive actions by governments, international institutions, and business companies belonging thereto. Moreover, the South is now emerging alongside the North as breeding ground for technical innovation and creative entrepreneurship. South-South interactions have enabled companies and government agencies to adapt, collaborate, and innovate with policies, products, processes and services that are better suited to local needs than imported inventions. Where The Philippines Stands The 2013 UNHD Report, ranks the Philippines #114 out of 186 nations which puts us in the Medium Human Development category between the
likes of Tonga (#95) and Swaziland (#141). Below that in the Low Human Development category are Congo (#142) down to Niger (#186), as the lowliest tailender. Rated higher than the Philippines are such younger, smaller countries like Fiji (#96), Turkmenistan (#102), Maldives (#104), Gabon (#106), El Salvador (#107), Mongolia (#108), Palestine (#110), and Paraguay (#111). And, likely to overtake the Philippines soon unless our country and people significantly improve their collective performance are South Africa (#121), Vietnam (#127), Ghana (#135), Laos (#136), and Bangladesh (#146), because their rising competitiveness, allure/access to global markets truly count; and where predictability, continuity, and transparency characterize government policies and operations. ARE WE FILIPINOS SATISFIED WITH SUCH BACKWARD (OR NEGATIVE) POSITION AT #114 OUT OF 186 COUNTRIES IN THE HUMAN DEVELOPMENT DIMENSIONS OF THE FAMILY OF NATIONS? TO BE OVERTAKEN BY LESS DEVELOPED COUNTRIES EVEN BY TINY PACIFIC ISLAND-NATIONS??? OF COURSE NOT SAYS THIS CONCERNED SENIOR CITIZEN WHO IN HIS TIME HAS SEEN THE RISE AND FALL, AND THEN RISE AGAIN OF THE PHILIPPINES!! OF COURSE NOT!!! IF ONLY FILIPINOS COULD BE MORE CARING, SHARING, AND DARING FOR OTHERS AND FOR OUR BELOVED PHILIPPINES THEN WE COULD DO MUCH BETTER. IF ONLY OUR CITIZENS COULD EXERCISE UNITY OF PURPOSE, SOLIDARITY IN VALUES, AND TEAMWORK IN NATION-BUILDING THEN WE COULD NOW BE IN THE CATEGORY OF HIGH HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND FULLY COMPLIANT WITH THE UN MILLENNIUM GOALS BY 2015. The above-cited national performances had previously been analyzed and columnized by FVR based on the 2011 Asian Development Banks massive study: Asia 2050: Realizing The Asian Century. (Please revisit our Manila Bulletin columns of 07 August and 14 August 2011). In effect, ADBs Asia 2050 study forecasts the Philippines to be mired in the backwaters of low-modest growth economies together with Bangladesh, Laos, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, and Tonga unless real transformation, particularly in reducing corruption and loosening the hold of dynasties on the economy, takes place soon.
As if to reinforce these conclusions, the Philippine Star editorialized (27 March 2013): An indicator of slow progress in the Philippines is that the country was ranked below all but Indonesia among the original five founding members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The 2013 report, prepared by the UNDP and released this month observed that when countries of similar starting points take different development paths, the outcome is affected by national forces, policies, institutions, social context, and idiosyncratic shocks. Drivers Of Development Many developing countries have made substantial progress over the past two decades. Several high achievers have not only boosted national income, but also show better than average performance on social indicators, such as health and education. How have such countries transformed their human development prospects? Across these countries, three notable drivers of development were noted: Driver 1: A Proactive Developmental State. A strong, proactive, and responsible State develops policies for both public and private sectors based on long-term vision/leadership, shared norms/values, and rules/institutions that build trust and cohesion. Achieving enduring transformation requires a consistent and balanced approach to development. Leaders need to be people-centered, promoting opportunities while protecting people against downside risks like corruption and natural calamities. Rapid expansion of quality jobs is a critical feature of growth that promotes human development. Investing in peoples capabilities through health, education, housing, and other public services is not an appendage of the growth process but an integral part of it. Driver 2: Tapping Of Global Markets. An important role in advancing progress is played by global markets. All newly industrializing countries have pursued a strategy of importing what the rest of the world knows and exporting what it wants. Even more important are the terms of engagement with these markets. Without investment in people, returns from global markets are likely to be limited. Success is more likely to be the result not of sudden openings but of gradual and sequenced integration with the world economy, according to national circumstances, and accompanied by investment in people, institutions and infrastructure. Driver 3: Determined Social Policy Innovation. Few countries
have sustained rapid growth without impressive levels of public investment not just in infrastructure, but also in health and education. Growth has frequently been more effective at reducing poverty in countries with low income inequality than in countries with high income inequality (like the Philippines). Promoting equality, particularly among different religious, ethnic/racial groups, also reduces social conflict. Education, health care, legal protection/empowerment, and social organization all enable poor people to benefit from growth. Sectoral balance especially paying attention to the rural sector and the nature/ pace of employment expansion are critical in determining how far growth increases incomes. National policy has to promote inclusion ensuring nondiscrimination and equal treatment is critical for political and social stability. It must hold leadership accountable. An agenda for transformation that promotes human development reduces bureaucratic and social constraints on economic action and social mobility. The Quality Of Life ACCORDING TO UNDP AD MINISTRATOR HELEN CLARK: ASSESSING THE QUALITY OF LIFE IS A MUCH MORE COMPLEX EXERCISE THAN WHAT CAN BE CAPTURED THROUGH ONLY ONE NUMBER OR SET OF NUMBERS, NO MATTER HOW JUDICIOUS IS THE SELECTION OF VARIABLES TO BE INCLUDED, AND THE PROCEDURE OF A SSIGNING WEIGHTS. THE UNs HUMAN DEVELOPMENT APPROACH IS A MAJOR ADVANCE IN THE DIFFICULT EXERCISE OF UNDERSTANDING THE SUCCESSES AND DEPRIVATIONS OF HUMAN LIVES, AND IN APPRECIATING THE IMPORTANCE OF REFLECTION AND DIALOGUE, AND THROUGH THAT, ADVANCING FAIRNESS AND JUSTICE IN THE WORLD. Filipino leaders should assess our quality of life on such UN terms, not on the basis just of a Fitch rating of BBB minus (which is good enough as a re-start but even better would be an A rating). As an aside, my province of Pangasinan was sarcastically rated in the 1980s as BBB (for Bangus-BucayoBagoong). Its people now would like to rate it Double TT (no pun intended) which stands for Technology-Teaching-Tourism-Teamwork. But ...thats another story. Please send any comments to fvr@ rpdev.org.

One Smoker Dies Every 6.5 Seconds

By ROLLY T. CARANDANG
Benedict, who was the first pope to apologize to victims and called for zero tolerance against sexual abuse by priests. Francis asked for stepped-up measures to protect minors and help those who were subjected to such violence in the past. Also in line with his predecessor, Francis reminded the heads of national Catholic churches around the world that they had committed to formulating and implementing directives for addressing the problem including turning abusers over to local law enforcement. Muellers Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith published in May 2011, a document ordering bishops to turn in members of the clergy suspected of pedophilia and to prevent them from working in settings involving minors. It gave the bishops conferences one year to come up with guidelines on combating the crimes and cooperating with police. As of September 2012, threequarters of the national churches had complied, according to Monsignor Charles Scicluna, the Vatican prosecutor in sex abuse cases. The scourge of abusive priests burst into the spotlight more than a decade ago with a cascade of scandals rocking the Catholic Church worldwide, from Ireland to the United States and Australia to Benedicts native Germany. The Vatican says it continues to receive around 600 claims against abusive priests every year, many of them dating back to the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Sexual abuse by priests has often been coupled with cover-ups by their superiors, typically by transferring them to other parishes. In Latin America, Franciss home
region, the most notorious scandal concerned the Mexican founder of the conservative Legionnaires of Christ congregation, Marcial Maciel, who was accused of sexually abusing children before he died in 2008. SNAP , a vocal support group for victims, reacted immediately to Fridays statement, demanding that the pope match words with actions. We cant confuse words with actions, said the Survivors Network for those Abused by Priests. Kids wont be helped by a continuation of the tiny symbolic gestures taken by Pope Benedict, it said. Kids will be helped by decisive changes. Thus far, Pope Francis hasnt even discussed, much less adopted, even a single reform. Meanwhile, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon will meet with Pope Francis at the Vatican on Tuesday. During his first encounter with the new pontiff, Ban will discuss the continuing cooperation between the United Nations and the Holy See, the UN chief s spokesman Martin Nesirky said. Ban is currently in Spain and is next expected to travel to The Hague in the Netherlands. While in Rome, Ban will also meet with the countrys president, prime minister and the heads of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies. In a statement last month welcoming the election of former Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Ban said he was certain Francis would build on the legacy of his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, in the promotion of inter-faith dialogue. SNAP , which has asked the International Criminal Court to prosecute Benedict for crimes against humanity, has demanded that the Church publish the names of predator priests on the Internet.
A party-list representative, citing a World Health Organization (WHO) report, said that out of the 1.2 billion cigarette smokers in the world, one smoker dies every 6.5 seconds due to cancer, heart, and lung diseases. With this report, Association of Laborers and Employees (ALE) party-list Rep. Catalina Bagasina called on Filipinos to stop smoking, saying it is the leading causes of respiratory ailment that has killed millions of people around the world. She said the controversial sin tax law was enacted to warn Filipinos
against the dangers of smoking to their health. The primary reason for the recent implementation of sin tax is to prevent people from smoking, Bagasina said. Bagasina said the rise in respiratory problems today is largely blamed on cigarette smoking and the unabated pollution of the environment. Governments around the world have spent millions of dollars in the fight against diseases caused by smoking, which are otherwise preventable, Bagasina said. Citing several studies, Bagasina said about 600 million people
worldwide already live with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but its prevalence is predicted to rise to become the worlds third leading cause of death by 2020. Bagasina said COPD kills more than 2.75 millions of people every year, and is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide. The WHO report also estimated that one out of every five Filipinos may be suffering from COPD which entails a long term, if not life time treatment, Bagasina said. WHO also projects that the number of male smokers will rise modestly from 1 billion to 1.1 billion by 2030.
PH To Import...
described the MOA as another step forward in efforts to further increase economic activity between the Philippines and Cambodia, which has emerged as a major regional producer of rice. Minister Cham, for his part, expressed the hope that the MOA would help encourage broader trade between the two countries. He said that improvements of milling and storage facilities in Cambodia should help facilitate Cambodian rice exports to the Philippines.
The MOA opens the way for the NFA to import rice from Cambodia through Green Trade, a Cambodian public enterprise. Rice is a staple food in the Philippines, and the same is true with its Asian neighbors. Cambodias success in rice farming can be attributed in large part to the Cambodian Center for Study and Development in Agriculture (CEDAC), founded by Yang Saing Koma in 1997. A key aspect of CEDACs success
is the System of Rice Intensification (SRI), which Koma introduced to just a handful of farmers in 2000. Simply put, SRI is effective plant-water-soil management that combines all farming good practices. Over 100,000 Cambodian rice farmers now use SRI, which dramatically cuts down on the use of chemical fertilizers. Between 2002 and 2010, Cambodias rice production ballooned from 3.82 million tons to 7.97 million tons. Incidentally, Koma was given the prestigious Ramon Magsaysay Award last year for his contributions to farming technology in Cambodia.

N. Korea Warns...
the North, under its 30-year-old leader Kim Jong-un, had moved two missiles to the countrys east coast. The current question was not whether, but when a war would break out on the peninsula, because of the increasing threat from the United States, Chinas state news agency, Xinhua, on Friday quoted the Norths Foreign Ministry as saying. It added that diplomatic missions should consider evacuation. North Korea would provide safe locations for diplomats in accordance with international conventions, Xinhua quoted the ministry as saying in a notification to embassies. On Saturday morning, a South Korean government official expressed bewilderment at the Norths appeals to diplomats. As North Korea has many reasons behind the latest threats, its hard to define what is its real intention, said the official, who asked not to be identified. But it might have intensified these threats to strengthen the regime internally or to respond to international community. There was no sign of tension on Seouls rainsoaked streets, with traffic operating normally and no extra police visible. The South Korean media reports on Friday said North Korea had placed two of its intermediate-range missiles on mobile launchers and hid them on the east coast, a move that could threaten Japan or US Pacific bases. The report could not be confirmed, but White House spokesman Jay Carney said that based on past behavior, we would not be surprised to see Pyongyang conduct another missile test. In the Philippines, Deputy Presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said the situation in the Korean peninsula remains normal based on a daily evaluation being done by the government. Valte said the government as of Saturday was maintaining its Alert Level 1 status for Filipinos in South Korea. Malacaang issued the statement as reports said the North Korean government had advised foreign
missions to consider evacuating their embassies in Pyongyang. Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosarios supposed trip to South Korea this weekend has been postponed pending the gathering of vital information, the Department of Foreign Affairs said. Continuing Rhetoric Britain said its embassy in Pyongyang had been told by the North Korean government it would be unable to guarantee the safety of embassies and international organizations in the country in the event of conflict from April 10th. We believe they have taken this step as part of their continuing rhetoric that the US poses a threat to them, Britains Foreign Office said. It said it had no immediate plans to evacuate its embassy and accused the North Korean government of raising tensions through a series of public statements and other provocations. A Polish spokesman said the warning was an inappropriate element of building up the pressure and we obviously think that there is no risk from outside on North Korea. The United States, which does not have diplomatic relations with North Korea and is served by Sweden as a protecting power in Pyongyang, echoed the British and the Poles. This is just an escalating series of rhetorical statements, and the question is, to what end? said US State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland. Asked if the United States had received any instructions from the Swedes on the small number of US aid workers or tourists who could be in North Korea, she said there was no indication Sweden would heed Pyongyangs warning. US Pressures China The Obama administration, detecting what it sees as a shift in decades of Chinese support for North Korea, is pressuring Chinas new president, Xi Jinping, to crack down on the regime in Pyongyang or face a heightened American military presence in its region. In a flurry of exchanges that included a recent phone call from
suns heat or cold surroundings, as Im not sensitive to those, said 61year-old Gina Gil Lacuna, the new Guinness World Record holder for the worlds largest puzzle collection. The abundance of Gils first-hand experiences from her pursuits led her to eventually venture into the garments industry, where she discovered her ultimate love assembling and collecting jigsaw puzzles. I started engaging in puzzles at 35. That was the time I could already travel I would usually go to Hong Kong to buy accessories for my garments factory, she said. The 5,000-piece Puzzle #244, featuring the Mickey Mouse Racing Team, became her first jigsaw masterpiece, which took her around 70 hours to finish in 1986. When I did the first puzzle which is the Mickey Mouse, I realized that I could do puzzles. Because I always go to Hong Kong, that is where I can buy my puzzles before, Lacuna added. From then on, she has developed her profound love for solving and collecting puzzles, as she gradually uncovered lifes golden lessons and a lot of them in her journey. I developed patience, perseverance, not minding the time, and [learned] to finish my goal. When you start solving a puzzle, dont get
bored and just finish it. Afterwards, it is rewarding, like in baking and cooking, she said. Almost 27 years later, her vocation is rewarding her big time. On November 29, 2012, with 1,028 puzzle sets, Lacuna beat Brazils Luiza Figueiredo, 52, who has 238 collections. When Lacuna entertains her guests inside her Puzzle Mansion, she often talks about a painting of the former first lady Imelda Marcos, which had been lost years back. Originally intended as a rest house, the puzzle museum is found inside her 1.3-hectare sprawling lot in Tagaytay City, as Lacuna wanted her puzzle sets to be kept at a secure place. One who enters the Puzzle Mansion can witness the worlds most complete puzzle collection, which features varied sets of wooden, threedimensional, and four-dimensional jigsaw puzzles, complemented with cardboard, flat, and uniquely shaped sets with mixed types and sizes. Some puzzles were assembled the typical way, but others feature unique die-cuts, such as the wooden Paris Puzzle, from which one can literally see the word Paris, bottle shapes, a miniature Eiffel Tower, and a small lady statue. The puzzles came from countries
Lacuna had visited, and were bought at souvenir shops and bookstores, to complement her business trips. The Puzzle Lady prefers classical art designs done by avant-garde masters, such as Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh, Michaelangelo, Leonardo de Vinci, and Diego Velasquez. Aside from having the most number of collections, she has been gunning for the most number of pieces assembled by an individual, and to be known as the worlds fastest puzzle maker. On February 25, 2013, she finished assembling one of the worlds hardest puzzles, the 10,000-piece Las Hilanderas of Diego Velasquez, which was an addition to her original world record of 1,028 puzzles. She spent 1,095 hours to complete the 18,000-piece Retablo de Santa Columba, a 321-cm by 156-cm painting of Rogier Van Der Weyden. She is vying to beat her own record in assembling the 32,000-piece Double Retrospect, from artist Keith Harring, which would be the worlds biggest puzzle set. She started assembling on March 1, 2013, and targets to finish by the end of July, 2013. Anything that you do could be fulfilling, not only in puzzles. If you do puzzles, your left and right brain function. For the elders, it will help you avoid acquiring Alzheimers [Disease], she added. (With reports from Ula O. Supan and Romhelyn M. Benipayo)
President Obama to Xi, administration officials said, they have briefed the Chinese in detail about American plans to upgrade missile defenses and other steps to deter the increasingly belligerent threats made by North Koreas young leader, Kim Jong-un. China, which has been deeply suspicious of the American desire to reassert itself in Asia, has not protested publicly or privately as the United States has deployed ships and warplanes to the Korean Peninsula. That silence, American officials say, attests to both Beijings mounting frustration with the North and the recognition that its reflexive support for Pyongyang could strain its ties with Washington. Brazils foreign minister said its ambassador could be moved to Dandong, a city across the Chinese border, though its embassy had an underground shelter and a power generator. We will evaluate exactly what the conditions are before we make a decision on his stay, Antonio Patriota told a news conference in Brasilia. UN Secretary-General Ban Kimoon remains deeply concerned about escalating tensions on the Korean peninsula, but UN humani-
tarian workers remain active across North Korea for the time being, a spokesman said on Friday. UN staff in the DPRK (North Korea) remain engaged in their humanitarian and developmental work throughout the country, said UN spokesman Martin Nesirky. The United Nations has 36 international staff and 21 locally recruited personnel working in North Korea, the world body said. Under the Vienna Convention that governs diplomatic missions, host governments are required to help get embassy staff out of the country in the event of conflict. Russias Foreign Ministry said North Korea had proposed that the Russian side consider the evacuation of employees in the increasingly tense situation, according to a spokesman for its embassy in Pyongyang. Moscow said it was seriously studying the request. Kim Jong-un is the third member of his dynasty to rule North Korea. He took over in December, 2011 after the death of his father, Kim Jongil, who staged confrontations with South Korea and the United States throughout his 17-year rule. In a fusillade of statements over the past month, North Korea has
threatened to stage a nuclear strike on the United States, something it lacks the capacity to do, according to most experts, and has declared war on South Korea. The threats against the United States are probably all bluster, said Gary Samore, until recently the top nuclear proliferation expert on President Barack Obamas national security staff. The North Koreans are not suicidal. They know that any kind of direct attack (on the United States) would be end of their country, he added. Speculation about missile movements centered on two types of weapon, neither of which is known to have been tested. One is the so-called Musudan missile, which South Koreas Defence Ministry estimates has a range of up to 3,000 km (1,865 miles). The other is the KN-08, believed to be an intercontinental ballistic missile. North Korea has always condemned the military exercises held by US forces and their South Korean allies, but its reaction to this year has reached a blistering pitch.

Barangay Ginebra puts its fivegame winning streak on the line against Meralco tonight at the resumption of the PBA Commissioners Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Mark Caguioa, the heart and soul of the leagues most popular ballclub, remains a doubtful starter as the Kings try to strengthen their playoff bid. Well know before the game, said Ginebra coach Alfrancis Chua when asked if Caguioa would play. Its 50-50 for Mark. The 6-foot-1 Caguioa, who missed the teams last two matches, has actually joined the shooting drills, but not the scrimmages. Chua, however, said Kerby Raymundo and Rico Maierhofer are ready to play. One thing I know about these guys, once I call their name, theyll be ready to play and give it all just to help the team win the game, Chua said. The last time the Kings tasted defeat was last March 3 at the hands of Rain or Shine, 96-93. Since then, Ginebra toppled San
Mig Coffee, Talk N Text, Meralco, Barako Bull and Air21 in that order. However, the Kings will have to contend with Meralco import Eric Dawson who fired a career-best 57 points against Petron Blaze last Friday. Dawson, who averaged a leaguehigh 26.8 points before their game against the Boosters, went 20-of-34 from the perimeter and 17-of-22 from the foul line. He also collected 17 rebounds, four steals and three shot blocks in 40 minutes of action as the Bolts stunned the Boosters, 102-92. Dawsons feat was a first for a player, local or foreign, to score as many points since onetime Sta. Lucia import Derrick Brown had the same output in a losing effort (99120) to San Miguel Beer during the 2004 Fiesta Cup. Dawsons 57 points was also the first 50-point game since Zach Graham of Air21 collected 51 points in a 128-121 win over Powerade in last seasons Governors Cup. Meanwhile, Alaska is alone on top with a 9-3 card after the Aces repeated against the Elasto Painters, 89-84, late Friday. Rain or Shine is at second spot with an 8-4 record. Ginebra and Meralco are tied with Petron all with 6-5 cards, followed by TNT (5-6), Air21 (5-7), Barako (4-7) and Globalport (2-9).
Lakers Survive
LOS ANGELES (AP) Dwight Howard got in the way when Mike Conley drove the lane in the waning seconds, doing his delicate best to alter Conleys potential game-deciding shot without fouling. When Conley couldnt score over Howard, the Los Angeles Lakers could exhale - one more victory in their desperate playoff push. Kobe Bryant had 24 points and nine assists, Pau Gasol added 19 points, and the Lakers stayed in the final playoff position in the Western Conference with an 86-84 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night. Howard hit a free throw with 4.1 seconds left before playing solid defense on Conleys final shot attempt, and the Lakers won their third straight in the final weeks of their push for a postseason spot. Los Angeles (40-36) barely leads Utah (4037) - and everybody on the Lakers high-priced roster is aware of their situation. This is the big push for us, Bryant said. Weve got a very tough stretch, and were excited. You want to be going into the playoffs feeling like youre playing good ball against tough opposition. Its been a lot of figuring out we had to do, but its better late than never. Howard had nine points and 10 rebounds, while Earl Clark and Antawn Jamison contributed 13 points apiece off the bench as the Lakers won without injured starters Steve Nash and Metta World Peace. Los Angeles also avoided getting swept in its season series with the Grizzlies, whose four-game winning streak ended.
Djokovic gives Serbia 1-0 lead

BOISE, Idaho (AFP) World No. 1 Novak Djokovic beat big-serving John Isner in straight sets to give Serbia a 1-0 lead over the United States in their Davis Cup World Group quarter-final on Friday. Djokovic defeated Isner 7-6 (7/5), 6-2, 7-5, recovering from an early break in the opening set and taking control from there. The Serbian player saved the only break point he faced in the third set -- in the second game and broke Isner at love for a 6-5 advantage. He served out the match with a love game, wrapping it up in two hours with a backhand winner that sent him dancing over to celebrate with his teammates. Isner had made a quick start, breaking Djokovic for a 2-1 lead in the first set and holding for 3-1. But Djokovic, finding his rhythm on the indoor hard court in the Taco Bell Arena in a town that sits about 800 meters (2,600 feet) in altitude, broke back to level the set at 3-3. Djokovic delivered a secondserve ace to take a 4-1 lead in the tiebreaker and claimed the first set on his third set point when Isner knocked a backhand long. He applied the pressure early in the second set, breaking Isner in the third game and widening the gap with another break in the seventh. American Sam Querrey was trying to get the hosts back on terms when he took on Viktor Troicki in the second singles match in the best-offive tie. Serbian captain Bogdan Obradovic called on Troicki for singles duty after world No. 10 Janko Tipsarevic opted out of the tie. The winner will take on the victor of the quarter-final tie between Canada and Italy in Vancouver. Serbias run to the 2010 Davis Cup title included a victory in their only other meeting with the United States, who have lifted the trophy 32 times.

Focus On Training, Athletes Told

San Juan Rep. JV Ejercito Estrada, a senatorial candidate for the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA), has urged Filipino athletes to focus on preparing for the Southeast Asian Games set late this year in Myanmar. While sports officials are debating whether to send a full delegation or not in Myanmar, Ejercito Estrada said the athletes should not lose focus on the task at hand. Thats the best thing they can do, to prepare hard, Ejercito Estrada advised. An avid golfer himself, Ejercito Estrada said the athletes can expect full support from their countrymen during the Games. They have to go all-out for flag and country no matter what the situation is, added Ejercito Estrada. The son of former President Joseph Estrada had earlier batted a lean but mean squad in the biennial meet set December 11 to 22. We should focus on training athletes that can win the gold in the SEA Games, said the 43-year-old legislator, a member of the Youth and Sports committee at the House of Representatives. A total of 33 events in the Myanmar SEA Games will be played, including non-traditional events such as vovinam, tarungderajat, kempo, and chin lone. Despite the scrapping of events where Filipinos are traditionally strong, the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) and the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) are hoping that Filipino athletes will improve on their sixth place finish two years ago in Indonesia. Ejercito Estrada believes the target is achievable. With proper training, I firmly believe our athletes can do that, said Ejercito Estrada. Of course, theres no shortcut to success, theres no easy way up. Filipino athletes, however, are hard workers. Im sure theyll do their best to get them ready for the SEA Games, and in the other events like the Asian Games and the

for the fourth time in as many games this season. San Miguel, which sported a No. 22 patch to honor the memory of its late former coach Bobby Parks, pulled within a half-game of the defending champion Indonesia Warriors (11-3) for the lead at 10-3. We were a little bit rusty because of the two-week break but we managed to pick up our game in the second quarter, said coach Leo Austria. Williams finished with 14 points, seven rebounds and three blocks in 24 minutes while Avenido had 16 markers. Chris Banchero added 19 points, two rebounds, five assists and three steals. SMB started the game missing its first eight shots and trailed 15-10 in the opening period when Avenido waxed hot from the field and Williams made three thunderous dunks to turn the game into a laugher. Im happy to see Leo stepping up and we saw the different dimension of Justin in this game, added Austria. The Slingers dropped seven of their last eight games to fall into place at 5-10, trailing the Sports Rev Thailand Slammers (6-9) by one game in the race for the final semis berth. The scores:

Pacman Far From Finished Viloria

By nick giongco
MACAU In the eyes of Brian Viloria, the career of Filipino flag bearer Manny Pacquiao is far from finished. Despite the scary sixth-round knockout suffered by Pacquiao at the hands of Juan Manuel Marquez last December, Viloria believes Pacquiao has what it takes to bounce back and prove that he remains a marquee name. Viloria said that while Pacquiaos defeat is as bloodcurdling as one of the many frightening scenes from the movie The Exorcist, its ill effects wont necessarily make the 32-yearold fighter a has-been. It was just one punch, not a pummeling, said Viloria, who was set to defend his world flyweight titles against Juan Francisco Estrada of Mexico late Saturday night at the CotaiArena. Viloria noted that when the roof
caved in on Pacquiao with one second left before the end of the sixth round, he was winning the fight. Viloria said a fighter who loses a fight due to an accumulation of heavy blows is likely to deteriorate compared to somebody who lost by one-punch knockout, stressing that former undisputed world heavyweight king Lennox Lewis is a prime example. After being flattened by Oliver McCall, Lewis clawed back to contention and went on to dominate the division, underlining the fact that a defeat could make a fighter realize facets of his style that victory doesnt. Pacquiao is eyeing a return to the ring in mid-September and among those being eyed to face him are Marquez and Tim Bradley. If Marquez continues to price himself out of a fifth fight with Pacquiao, Top
Rank chief Bob Arum will turn his attention to Bradley. Bradley carved out a controversial split decision over Pacquiao in June last year and is coming off another disputable win versus Ruslan Provodnikov a few weeks ago. A Pacquiao-Bradley is still a mouth-watering matchup in case a Marquez match couldnt be made. Marquez is said to be asking for
the moon and the stars, saying he deserves the right to dictate following his sensational showing against Pacquiao. In their fourth fight, Pacquiao got $23 million, while Marquez only received $6 million. That fourth fight generated more than 1.25 million pay-per-view buys, making it the biggest earning Pacquiao fight to date.

E.C.O.P. POSITION
The Employers Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP) has decried the petition filed by the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) seeking a P85 wage increase. ECOP said the wage hike being sought by the labor group is premature and has no basis. It cited, in particular, the Rules on Minimum Wage Fixing issued by the National Wages and Productivity Commission (NWPC) where no petition for any wage adjustment shall be entertained unless there are supervening conditions. ECOP furthermore said prices of fuel and other petroleum products have remained relatively stable and that inflation rates are within manageable levels, noting that inflation rate in the National Capital Region (NCR) was pegged at 2.4% as of February this year based on government figures.

Asean+3 To Study Promoting Infra Bonds To Boost Regions Investment

CAPITAL FLOWS AN ASIAN CHALLENGE

Philippine Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima told the Wall Street Journal at the sidelines of the ASEAN Finance Ministers Meeting in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei that capital flows are a challenge to Asian policy-makers. This is a challenge that all emerging markets will continue to grapple with. In the case of the Philippines, were coordinating closely the finance ministry and the central bank and our desire is to direct these flows to infrastructure investments. (Dow Jones)

Obama Halfway To Doubling Exports

By TOM RAUM
WASHINGTON (AP) Suddenly, outsourcing is on the way out and insourcing on the way in as the U.S. trudges unevenly toward President Barack Obamas goal of doubling
American exports around the world by the start of 2015. So far, export levels are about halfway to his mark. Obama set the five-year target in his January 2010 State of the Union Address and recently has hastened
his drumbeat, telling his export advisory council last month the nation was well on our way to his goal. The question now becomes: How do we sustain this momentum? While economists and industry

Philippines Starts Exporting Fancy Rice To Hong Kong, United States, Dubai
By MELODY M. AGUIBA
The Philippines is exporting this year 100 metric tons (MT) of highvalue rice to Hong Kong, Dubai, and the United States as a strategic plan to use fancy rice as a long term entry tool to global trade. The first 50 MT is set to be shipped out to Hong Kong and Dubai within the month. It consists of a combination of 30 MT of long grain aromatic rice from Region 12, black rice from Tiaong, Quezon, and 20 MT of brown and white SL-7, SL- 9 (Jasponica, Miponica) premium hybrid rice of SL AGritech Corp. The next 50 MT will be shipped out to the United States by the third quarter of the year consisting mainly of the annual harvest of heirloom rice from the Mountain Province, according to Department of Agriculture (DA) Assistant Secretary Dante Delima. It is in fancy rice that the Philippines can compete with the worlds best and biggest rice producers, mainly Thailand and Vietnam. It will be progressive program to export fancy rice where we can be competitive. Were going to export some locally-grown upland varieties, heirloom rice that will be harvested by September or October from the Mt. Province. SL Agritech will also join us in our program to export Jasponica
variety of rice, said DA Secretary Proceso J. Alcala. At around $1,000 per MT price for fancy rice, the export for the year is valued at $100,000. The countrys brown rice is competitive even with the known fancy rice of Thailand with its even finer taste, Delima said. The volume will be stepped up immediately to 200 MT by 2014. But crucial to sustainability of the export is the establishment of Good Agricultural Practice (GAP), a certification now required by most importing countries. The government may be able to put GAP in place by 2014. It is being obtained through Bureau of Agriculture and Fisheries Product Standards technical assistance. We have to spend P2.5 million just to set the standard of GAP on rice. But we cant wait for it. We will ship out while waiting, Delima told reporters at the Hybrid Rice Congress in Nueva Ecija. He said the Philippines should put in place GAP to prevent a similar case with a previous intensive export of shallot to Indonesia and Malaysia that was blocked by lack of GAP . The problem we had with shallot was we kept on exporting and exporting until we were asked to show GAP , said Delima. While the US, Japan, Korea, Singapore were the only ones requiring GAP for their imports, many
more countries impose this now from origin. Government also plans to obtain organic certification for certain fancy rice. If we will have organic certification, it will be a plus factor, he said. The fancy rice export is expected to raise participating farmers income from the regular support price of the National Food Authority at P18 per kilo. The export-quality rice will be priced higher at between P45 to P55 per kilo. The export volume should help offset the countrys import which is expected to drop to 187,000 MT from 500,000 MT in 2012. Alcala said the government further expects to raise Philippines potential to further reduce imports with a partnership with the Yuan Long Ping High Tech Agriculture Co. Ltd of China and the government of China. Yuan, known as the Father of Hybrid Rice, affirmed Chinas commitment to help raise the countrys rice sufficiency under the on-going project Philippine Sino Center for Agricultural Technology (PHILSCAT. Yuan is guest at Philippines first Hybrid Rice Congress. Under PHILSCAT, China is extending another P69 million grant to the Philippines. This is for a hybrid rice commercialization program until 2016.
Government owned financial institutions (GFIs) have released a total of P30.4 billion under the Access of Small Enterprises to Sound Lending Opportunities (ASENSO) program in 2012. The ASENSO program is a revitalized government led MSME financing program which builds on the gains of the previous SME Unified Lending Opportunities for National Growth (SULONG) initiative. Dubbed as the governments flagship program for the micro, small and medium enterprise sector, ASENSO has released a total of P272.6 billion since its inception as SULONG in 2004. The amount was released to 325,132 small and medium enterprises and has helped sustain employment for 3.9 million Filipinos. ASENSO is an initiative of nine government financial institutions (GFIs) and three line agencies aimed at creating a lending environment that is SME-friendly. These agencies are the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI),
Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP), Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP), Small Business Corporation (SBC), Peoples Credit and Finance Corporation (PCFC), National Livelihood Development Corporation (NLDC), Philippine Export-Import Credit Agency (PhilEXIM), Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), Social Security System (SSS), Quedan and Rural Credit Guarantee Corporation (QUEDANCOR) and the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC). Under the program, government financial institutions extend loans to micro and small and medium enterprises providing them with manageable terms to help them expand and grow their businesses. In 2012, LBP led the GFIs with a total of P23.3 billion loans released, followed by DBP with P3.3 billion in loans. Other Sulong GFIs are SB Corp with total releases of P2.0 billion, NLDC with P736 million, QUEDANCOR with P385 million, PhilExim with P346 million and SSS with P354 million in retail and wholesale loans to SMEs.
Coco Coir SSF Launched In Davao

By BERNIE CAHILES-MAGKILAT
The Department of Trade and Industry recently launched the shared service facility (SSF) for the coco coir twine producers in Calinan, Davao City. This initiative is in line with the administrations inclusive growth advocacy. Our economy remains strong, and we want you to benefit from the countrys economic growth, DTI Secretary Gregory L. Domingo said during the awarding ceremony of the coco coir twining facility to Talomo Riverside Multi-Purpose Cooperative (TARIMCO). This facility is one of the 1,000 shared service facilities (SSFs) that the DTI intends to set up nationwide within the year. SSF is DTIs flagship program for SME development that provides facilities shared by a number of beneficiaries, such as cooperatives, institutions and communities, to help micro and small enterprises be competitive in the local and global markets. This coco coir twining facility is expected to benefit more than fifty (50) coco coir twine producers, mostly housewives and members of the TARIMCO. Domingo said if this SSF will run well, we can add more facilities. TARIMCO Project Manager Prime Aranjuez said that their group is very
grateful for this assistance from the DTI, and TARIMCO has been a recipient of various programs of the Department as an assisted agrarian reform community. Aranjuez also said with this new technology introduced through the SSF, workers, who are commonly housewives will now earn P180 from P120 daily. These earnings are a great help to their daily household requirements. An average of 100 coco twine hanks per day can be produced by a person. The coco coir twining facility was awarded to TARIMCO last March 22, 2013. This awarding ceremony was led by Domingo, with DTI 11 Regional Director Marizon S. Loreto, DTI Davao City Director Teolulo T. Pasawa, and partner agency representatives of the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR), Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), barangay officials and the more than 100 members of the cooperative. Barangay Captain Corsino Anabeso had expressed his gratitude to the DTI for this assistance which will definitely improve the social conditions in Calinan, Davao. Domingo said that this project is a partnership, and every member has the responsibility to take care of the equipment and maximize its utilization. (BCM)
Mobile Phone Turns 40 With Little Fanfare

WASHINGTON (AFP) The mobile phone turned 40 on Wednesday, with no fanfare to mark the occasion in a market which seemed focused on new smartphones like the iPhone and a possible Facebook-themed device. The first mobile call was placed April 3, 1973, by Motorola engineer Martin Cooper, head of a team working on mobile communication technologies. Cooper made the call on Sixth Avenue in New York, before going into a press conference using a Motorola DynaTAC a device that weighed one kilogram, (2.2 pounds) and had a battery life of 20 minutes, according to Motorola. Cooper told the technology website The Verge last year that he placed the first call to a rival, Joel Engel of Bell Labs. To this day, he resents what Motorola did in those days, Cooper said. They thought that we were a gnat, an obstacle... we believed in competition and lots of players. And we also believed our religion was portables, because people are mobile. And here they were trying to make a car telephone and a monopoly on top of that. So that battle was the reason that we built that phone. Cooper and his team were honored earlier this year with the Draper Prize by the National Academy of Engineering for their work. In 40 years, the industry has come a long way. Research firm IDC predicts 900 million smartphones will be sold in 2013 along with roughly the same number of more basic feature phones.

48 Establishments Enlisted For ILP

By MYRNA M. VELASCO
Around 48 establishments comprising of individual companies or firms and their subsidiaries have enlisted as participants that will offer capacities into the proposed interruptible load program (ILP) for the Mindanao grid. This has been based on the presentation made by Energy Secretary Carlos Jericho Petilla to stakeholders, as they were trying to scour again for quick fix measures that can ease the worsening power interruptions in many areas in the supply-scarce grid. The interruptible loads comprise of 21.30 megawatts from Cagayan de Oro and Iligan; 56.17MW in Davao; plus 16.24MW in Bukinon; Misamis Oriental and Occidental; Zamboanga and South Cotabato.
In Iligan and Cagayan de Oro areas, entities which applied for the ILP are: Lim Ket Kai and Sons Center and its Milling unit; Gaisano, Del Monte, Alwana Business Park, Cagayan Corn, R.I. Chemicals; and Pilipinas Kao Inc, among others. In Davao, firms opting to be in the ILP roll include Stanfilco, Dole Philippines; various units of UniFrutti Services Inc., Lapanday Foods Corporation, Panabo Plastic Plant Inc., Tadeco, C. Alcantara and Sons Plywood; New Asia Oil; Western Feedmill; Forever Richsons Trading; Davao Sunrise Investment and Development Corp., Davao Insular Hotel; and DSG and Sons. For the other areas, the ILPoffered embedded capacities include those of Third Millenium Oil; Puerto Milling; Asia Brewery, Inc., Universal
Canning; YL Fishing; NY Marine; YL Blatzfreeze; M&S; Permex; Phidco; Ateneo de Zamboanga University; Mega Fishing; Ayala Seafoods; Astoria Regency; Garden Orchid; Tung Chingco (Ligo); Coca-Cola, KCC Mall and Dole Surallah. Petilla noted the most common dilemma raised by ILP participants had been the very low cost recovery, that will not even allow them to recoup their fuel costs. But this is now being addressed by a pending application with the Energy Regulatory Commission. It has been agreed by prospective ILP participants that the filing of the Davao Light and Power Company (DLPC), when approved by the industry regulator, will become the benchmark price for all interruptible loads in the grid. The ILP program is envisioned as
a precursor measure to ease the worsening power supply shortages in the region. It also serves as a prelude to the much-anticipated introduction of the Interim Mindanao Electricity Market (IMEM) in the area later this year. As culled from DLPCs filing, there was a proposed fuel efficiency rate of P0.34 per kilowatt hour as well as average cost of maintenance of P23,548.00 per month to be integrated in the ILP rates. These will be on top of the actual cost recoveries on fuel that will be uti-
lized by the self-generating or embedded facilities on their offer of capacity to the grid.
Sun Mobile Broadband Subscribers Gain 40%

Mobile operator Sun Cellular reported that it added 200,000 subscribers to its mobile broadband service in 2012, raising its total subscriber base by 40% to approximately 650,000. Ricky Pena, Sun Cellulars Senior Vice-President for Postpaid, Broadband and New Business Marketing attributed this to the rising demand for internet mobility, increasing use of smartphones and tablets, as well as Suns improved network coverage. We continue to offer broadband products at every price point and we have also worked hard to deliver consistent and reliable internet service that discriminating customers clamor for, Pena said. Prepaid broadband subscriptions jumped 77% in 2012, compared to the previous year. Suns Mobile Internet revenues likewise accelerated by 63 % compared to the same period last year. Our initiative to make smartphones and android-powered devices more accessible to the masses is starting to pay off, as more and more customers are now subscribing to our mobile internet services, said Pena. Last October, Sun Cellular started offering postpaid plans that bundle smartphone handset and tablets for P600.00 a month. Dubbed the Sundroid Rush, Pena said that this did not only help boost mobile internet revenues, it also helped increase the companys postpaid mobile subscriber base. Sun Cellular saw a 16% increase in postpaid subscribers by end-2012 compared to the same period in 2011. The figure brings Sun Cellular closer to regaining the leadership in postpaid subscription.

Epson Phils. Partners With Software Firm

By EMMIE V. ABADILLA
Epson Philippines Corporation (EPC) partnered with Jimac, Inc., a Filipino-owned software firm, to enable hospitality businesses, such as restaurants and bars who use tablets for taking orders, to print receipts, tickets and coupons at the point of sale (POS), in the back office or even in the kitchen. Retail stores using mobile sale capture devices can likewise cut down long customer queue lines via EPCs breakthrough point-of-sale (POS) system using Epsons TM-i series printers. They can print without a Personal Computer, directly from web applications without changing the printer settings and installing print drivers. Epsons TM-i printers also act as mini-servers, delivering a software interface to smartphones and tablets that allows multiple item selection for
transactions and printing. As no PCs, servers or drivers are necessary for the printer to operate, businesses can significantly reduce power consumption with less equipment online. For the past 20 years, Jimac, Inc. has developed POS solutions for Food Service (full-service restaurant management & fastfood); Retail (all-in-one web-based solutions & retail data management system); Healthcare (pharmacy POS) and Enterprise (small-medium enterprise solutions & centralized delivery system). Now, the printer vendor and the local software firm are piloting a project: the Jimac TM-i Flex System at the Hainanese Delight restaurant, SM Baliuag branch to address the problem of complicated printing programs that require additional print servers when printing receipts from a web application.

IATA Reports Rise In Passenger Traffic

By EMMIE V. ABADILLA
As business confidence climbed, global demand for air travel rose 3.7% in the second month of 2013 versus the year-ago period although the growth was mostly concentrated in the emerging markets, according to the latest data of the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Since October, 2012, which the association marked as a turning point for air travel markets, passenger demand has been growing at an annualized rate of 9%, almost double the growth trend over the first 9 months of last year. Februarys performance was good news. But that comes with a few caveats, remarked IATA Director General and CEO Tony Tyler. Much of the growth is in the emerging markets, he reiterated. Europe continues to be a laggard. And the handling of the banking crisis in Cyprus reminded us that the deep problems remain in the Eurozone economies. Overall, the worlds airline industry capacity increased by 1.0% this February, versus the same period in 2012 while load factor stood at 77.1%. Airlines are carefully managing capacity expansion which is keeping the load factor at a record high. This helps the industry remain profitable despite persistently high oil prices, Tyler noted. Asia-Pacific carriers recorded a capacity increase of 4.5% compared to February, 2012. Continuing improvements in Chinas economy and growth in intra-Asian trade provided strong support to the passenger business of the regions airlines. With this robust performance, demand associated with Asia-Pacifics emerging markets has been a major driver of the stronger growth in inter-
national traffic seen recently. By contrast, European carriers recorded 0.8% growth compared to February 2012. Reflecting the contraction of the Eurozone economy in the fourth quarter of 2012, European carriers have not seen any growth in international demand since October. They have responded by tightly managing capacity, which declined 2.0% year-on-year in February. This pushed the load factor up to 76.5%. North American airlines international traffic rose just 0.3% in February compared to February 2012. However, this doesnt reflect the significant underlying growth trend over recent months. International revenue passenger kilometers for North America are up 3% in February compared to October. The load factor rose to 76%, reflecting a 4.6% reduction in capacity year-onyear. Middle East carriers saw yearon-year demand expand by 10.6%, the strongest among all the regions. Capacity expansion was held to 9.7% boosting load factor from 0.7% points to 77.7%, the highest for any region. Latin American airlines posted year-on-year growth of 7.0%. A 9.9% rise in capacity, however, pushed load factor down 2.1 percentage points to 76.7%. Robust economic growth in countries such as Colombia, which is experiencing strong demand for commodities exports, is contributing to rising air travel. African airlines traffic climbed 7.7% compared to February 2012, second best among the regions, while capacity rose 3.9%, boosting the load factor 2.3 percentage points to 65.2%. The rise in load factor started mid-2012, supported by an increase in demand and also from tighter capacity management.

Etihad Airways Switches Flights To New Queen Alia Airport, Amman

Etihad Airways has announced that from March 10 the airlines double-daily flights from Abu Dhabi would operate to Ammans new Queen Alia International Airport. Captain Richard Hill, Etihad Airways Chief Operations Officer, said: We believe moving to the new airport is a positive step which will continue to meet our guests expectations of travelling with the worlds leading airline. The new airport is designed to accommodate the rapid increase in passenger numbers and is expected to almost triple the airports capacity. The terminal, designed by Foster + Partners, is 103,000m2 and should increase capacity by 60 percent to nearly 12 million passengers per year. Etihad Flight EY513 departs Abu Dhabi daily at 08:10, and arrives in Amman at 10:40. Etihads second daily flight, EY515, flight departs Abu Dhabi at 13:00 and arrives in Amman at 15:40. The daily return flight, EY514, departs Amman at 11:25 and arrives in Abu Dhabi Airport at 15:15, while EY516 departs at 16:30 and arrives in Abu Dhabi at 20:20. An upgraded range of facilities and services has been introduced at the new airport, including larger check-in areas and newly designed retail and dining outlets. Upgrades to the baggage handling system and security areas have also been made. Etihad Airways is the first foreign airline to begin operations to and from the new Queen Alia Airport. The UAE flag carrier started operations from Abu Dhabi to the Jordanian capital in December, 2003.
Drewry Forecasts Airfreight Rates Rise

Japan Carriers Eye Claims Over Grounding Of Boeing 787 Jets

TOKYO (AFP) Japans two major airlines said Friday they were planning to make a compensation claim against US plane making giant Boeing over the prolonged grounding of the troubled Dreamliner, the carriers said Friday. Japan Airlines and rival All Nippon Airways have been hit by the worldwide parking of the 787 after a number of incidents including a fire on a JAL plane in Boston and the emergency landing of an ANA flight in Japan. Both were caused by battery malfunctions. The global no-fly order imposed by US regulators in mid-January has seen Japans two biggest carriers major customers of the aircraft, with more than 100 combined orders slash thousands of flights. The company is considering seeking compensation, an ANA spokesman told AFP . We have the intention to do so. But he also said actual negotiations with Boeing will come after all the facts of the incidents are known. A JAL spokesman also said the airline is preparing to talk to its supplier about compensation. But for now the company will cooperate with Boeing so that the 787s can get back in the air as soon as possible, he said. The Asahi Shimbun daily reported Friday that ANA has already informed Boeing of its intention to seek compensation, citing an unnamed senior ANA official. Neither airline intends to cancel any orders for the next-generation aircraft, the paper said. Boeing said last month that the 50 planes grounded around the world since the two lithium-ion battery malfunctions sparked the grounding would undergo fixes to their systems and be operational again soon.
Drewry Consultants forecast a rise in global airfreight rates as airfreight demand is still rising from a low base following two consecutive years of contraction. But increased demand will feed into higher pricing, itself at historical lows as Drewry warned importers and exporters to be prepared for higher airfreight costs in 2013. Airfreight rates recovered in February following Januarys tumble as a last minute boost prior to Chinese New Year lifted pricing. Meanwhile, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) reported buoyant January liftings, providing further evidence of recovering demand. Drewrys East-West Air Freight Price Index, a weighted average of airfreight rates across 21 East-West trades, took a breather from Januarys collapse to inch ahead 1.9 points to 102.2 in February. The index is published in Drewrys Sea & Air Shipper Insight along with airfreight rates on 21 different EastWest trade lanes. In January, the index recorded its largest month-on-month decline since its inception in May 2012, tumbling 10.5 points. This wiped out over half the gains made through the latter part of last year. Drewry said the index was supported by a rise in pricing on the trade between Asia and North America but offset by weaker transatlantic rates. Pricing changes on the Asia-Europe
trade were largely neutral. A rise in February rates was anticipated as carriers reported strong liftings in the first two weeks of the month prior to Chinese New Year. The demand fell off in the latter part of the February leaving a small net rise in pricing. March will see further price hikes as Spring season restocking in North America and Europe boosts load factors. The marginal uplift in airfreight pricing and corresponding fall in container shipping rates sent Drewrys East-West Airfreight Price Multiplier down up 0.8 points to 11. The multiplier measures the relationship between the cost of shipping by air relative to sea on East-West two-way trades. The improving state of the airfreight market was confirmed by IATA statistics which showed that international traffic volume jumped 4.5% year-on-year in January. This represented the largest annual growth of any month for almost a year. The figures were partly boosted by the timing of Chinese New Year which was earlier than last year. IATA estimates that this accounted for about half the year-on-year gain, so this still leaves some evidence of continuing trend growth. More encouraging news for airfreight demand came from the Semiconductor Industry Association which reported that worldwide semiconductor sales rose 3.8% year-on-year in January, the third consecutive month of rising sales after a 12 month run of declines.
OPENING OF KASSEL-CALDEN, GERMANY AIRPORT (EPA) Two passenger planes sit on the apron at the airport in Kassel-Calden, Germany, April 4, 2013. After some 15 years of planning, testing and construction, the new, controversial regional airport opened for transport. Critics fear the new airport may have to be continuously subsidized by the federal state of Hesse due to problems in finding enough airlines interested in using it. The final cost of 271 million euro topped the original construction cost estimates of some 151 million euro.
B-5 Business News Tech Firms Bumping Up Perks 22 Bidders Join Myanmar Mobile To Recruit And Retain Manpower Telephone Battle
By MARTHA MENDOZA
YANGON (AFP) Vodafone, China Mobile and an investment fund linked to billionaire George Soros are among 22 bidders vying to enter Myanmar, one of the worlds last unexplored mobile telephone frontiers. Foreign giants are lining up in the hope of doing business in the former army-ruled country, where less than 10 percent of the population has access to a telephone a figure the government hopes to boost to 80 percent by 2016. Our telecom sector has been so outdated, said Set Aung, deputy minister of national planning and economic development. We cant rely on small companies so we decided to work with internationally known and experienced companies, he told AFP on Friday. Twenty-two companies or consortiums submitted pre-qualification applications ahead of Thursdays deadline and will be vetted for inclusion in the tender process, Set Aung said. Vodafone and China Mobile announced they were teaming up to bid for one of two licences on offer to build, own and operate a nationwide mobile network for an initial term of 15 years. Myanmars communications sector is poised for a rapid expansion as the government doubles the number of mobile operators and encourages the development of a nationwide mobile network, they said in a joint
statement. Quantum Strategic Partners, whose principal investment adviser is Soros Fund Management, has joined forces with telecom provider Digicel Group Limited and YSH Finance, a newly established holding company, to enter the fray. Its quite a big opportunity, Digicel spokeswoman Antonia Graham told AFP . We are looking at an initial project investment of between $1.5 billion and $2 billion. Other companies that have expressed an interest include Japans KDDI, Qatar Telecom, Orange and SingTel, according to a source close to the process. The government is expected to announce on April 11 which firms pre-qualified. A final decision on the winning bidders is expected on June 27. Myanmar is one of the poorest countries in the world where few can afford mobile phones and SIM card fees, which in the past cost about $200, although the government is now trying to make prices more affordable. State-owned giant Myanmar Post and Telecommunication announced on Thursday it would start selling SIM cards for less than $2. The changes are part of a raft of political and economic reforms introduced since a quasi-civilian regime came into power two years ago after decades of iron-fisted military rule.
CUPERTINO, California (AP) Apples ring-shaped, gleaming Spaceship Headquarters will include a world class auditorium and an orchard for engineers to wander. Googles new Bay View campus will feature walkways angled to force accidental encounters. Facebook, while putting final touches on a Disneyinspired campus including a Main Street with a barbecue shack, sushi house and bike shop, is already planning an even larger, more exciting new campus. More than ever before, Silicon Valley firms want their workers at work. Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has gone so far as to ban working from home, and many more offer prodigious incentives for coming in to the office, such as free meals, massages and gyms. This spring, as the tech industry is soaring out of the Great Recession, plans are in the works for a flurry of massive, perk-laden headquarters. Were seeing the mature technology companies trying to energize their work environments, getting rid of cube farms and investing in facilities to compete for talent, said Kevin Schaeffer, a principal at architecture and design firm Gensler in San Jose. Thats caused a huge transition in the way offices are laid out. New Silicon Valley headquarters or expansions are under way at most
of the areas major firms, including eBay, Intel, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Netflix, Nvidia and Oracle. Many will be huge: Apple Inc.s 176-acre (71hectare) campus will be one of the worlds largest workplaces. On the outside, many of the new buildings boast striking architectural designs and will collectively be among the most environmentally friendly in the country. Inside, there are walls you can draw on, ping pong tables, Lego stations, gaming arcades and free haircuts. Critics say that while some workplace perks and benefits are a good thing, the large, multibillion dollar corporate headquarters are colossal wastes of money that snub the pioneering technology these firms actually create. Companies led by older management tend to be very controlling, but when I look at people in the 20s or
30s, theyre totally capable of working on their own and being productive, said Kevin Wheeler, whose Future of Talent Institute researches and consults on human resources for Silicon Valley businesses. To have artificial structures that require everybody to be in the office at certain hours of the day is simply asinine. Wheeler said he thinks Yahoo called everyone back to work because they had gotten into a culture of laziness, and that the firm will likely loosen the restrictions soon. Yahoo Inc. was, in fact, an early model of Silicon Valleys happy workplace culture, touting their espresso bar and inspirational speakers as a method of inspiring passion and originality. Today yoga, cardio-kickboxing and golf classes at the office, as well as discounts to ski resorts and theme parks, help it receive top ratings as one of Americas happiest workplaces. Companies say extraordinary campuses are necessary to recruit and retain top talent and to spark innovation and creativity. And there are business benefits and financial results for companies that keep their workers happy. The publicly traded 100 Best Companies To Work For in America consistently outperform major stock indices and have more qualified job applicants and higher productivity, according to the San Francisco-based Great Place to Work Institute. That may not always be obvious, however.

enough to compensate for the risks. The World Bank estimates that East Asia Pacific requires some $407 billion of annual investment in infrastructure. Last year, Asean nations, excluding Myanmar, and the Asian Development Bank set up the Asean infrastructure fund, which is due to start lending this year and which is planning to boost its firepower to $700 million from the current $485 million. ASEAN+3 countries decided to study the feasibility of promoting infrastructure bonds as new important investment opportunities and as a funding mechanism for recycling their savings, the person told The Wall Street Journal, noting that China
had initially proposed the idea. Philippines Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima welcomed the initiative. He underscored the regions huge investment needs, and pointed out that its copious savings often end up being invested outside Asia. Whats very clear is the need to recycle Asian funds within Asia, Mr. Purisima said in an interview in Brunei Thursday. Given that the need for infrastructure investment is so large, that would be the natural match. He described Chinas proposal as a good first step, but stressed the necessity of further integration of the regions financial markets. We want to create an Asean class of financial instruments, and I think thats going to be good for all of us, Mr. Purisima said. That will allow us to attract more of the funds that would be necessary for this type of investment.
way of promoting potential livelihood and added income opportunities for its employees and community members through a series of training seminars. Charcoal briquettes are molded from the mixture of powdered charcoal and a binder. Experts said this can be done by just utilizing a simple technology with minimal environmental impact. Trainees were taught the drum method of producing charcoal out of the agro-forest waste such as dried leaves, including pine needles, twigs or branches that have fallen from
trees, SNAP said. It further enthused that the key to successfully carbonize the materials through the drum method is patience on the side of the worker like, knowing what materials to be used to be able to estimate cooking time and avoid burning. The commonly-used binding agent is starch-based; and this will just be shaped and designed according to preferred sizes. Compared to the traditionallyproduced charcoal, environmental charcoal briquettes are smokeless, burn longer and are more cost-effective, the Aboitiz-Norwegian joint venture firm has emphasized. It added that the fabrication process will require a carbonizing drum,
grinder plus mixer and molder for compacting. The Benguet operating vehicle of SNAP has been producing all the machinery on site, it was noted. In turn, these are being handed to participants as training tools for the charcoal briquetting program. As a business venture, the market for environmental briquettes is open since (the) DENR (Department of Environment and Natural Resources) has strictly stopped the market of traditional charcoal, the company said, adding that the demand for environmental charcoal briquettes is high in both rural and urban areas where charcoal is a necessity.

Obama...
leaders generally expect the ambitious target to be missed, impressive gains already booked in American manufacturing and exporting suggest such a miss may not be by that much. Why the optimism toward a manufacturing comeback? Here are five reasons: Cheap U.S. natural gas and other increased energy production are helping to power U.S. factories more efficiently, with gas especially providing inexpensive raw materials for U.S. manufacturers of plastics, tires, certain pharmaceuticals and other petrochemical products. Higher wages in China and other foreign export markets are making outsourcing less profitable to U.S. firms. Congressional approval in 2011 of trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama and other agreements being negotiated now with Asia and Europe are promising to open more foreign markets to U.S. products. High U.S. unemployment is relieving pressure on factory owners to increase wages, helping to make U.S. labor costs more globally competitive. Major technology advances have steadily boosted factory efficiency and worker productivity. Yet while many industries are do-
ing more with fewer workers, more than half a million new manufacturing jobs have been added in just the past few years. Of course, some big bumps lie in the road. Europe is mired in recession, the American economy continues to expand at a snails pace and the jobless rate sits at a stubbornly high 7.7 percent almost four years after the 2007-09 recession ended. In fresh signs that the global economy remains shaky - and challenging for U.S. exporters - leaders of central banks in Japan and the European Union signaled Thursday they were taking or preparing to take more aggressive steps to stimulate economic growth in their regions. The Bank of Japan said it would pump money into the Japanese financial system to help pull the worlds third-largest economy out of its prolonged slump. And the head of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi, said the bank was considering a range of fresh options to stimulate growth. The outlook was a bit brighter in the U.S. Obamas starting point was 2009 exports of $1.57 trillion. Since then, theyve climbed to a record $2.19 trillion in 2012 - about 48 percent toward his goal of some $3.14 trillion a year by the start of 2015. But 2012 exports, while a record, grew just 5.5 percent from those in 2011, down from a 15.9 percent surge from 2010 to 2011. The rate would have to pick up sharply again this year and next to meet Obamas target.
revenues from mining and the inconsistency of local laws with national mining policies. It is hard to promote mining investment at this time in view of the uncertainties in mining policy reforms. Government has yet to come out with
a legislated tax sharing scheme, and this will take time to be implemented, she said. Halcon said the moratorium imposed by the local government units (LGUs) on mining projects also needs to be addressed. She said the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) moratorium on the grant of mining tenements obscure investment promotion activities.
If the moratorium in the grant of new mining permits will remain, which is now on its third year, the chances for the mining industry to grow will not happen and will cancel out the progress made in the past, she noted. Halcon also cited the recently issued circular by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) indicating that companies have to pay taxes during the recovery period. (EHL)

A breeding station is where the parent lines are developed for the desired superior traits like disease resistance. The company sees brisk demand growth not only in the Philippines that has a yearly two percent population growth but in bigger rice-consuming South East Asian countries, particularly Indonesia. Indonesia is among the worlds largest rice importers with around 1.5 million metric tons (MT) of import yearly, while the Philippines is still a rice importer at 187,000 MT this year. It is bent at sustaining investments in the Philippines. Our investment here has been continuous since the end of 2006 toward 2007. Were continuing to pour investment because you dont really recover investments in seeds over a short period of time. From the time you start breeding for a new hybrid today to the time that the hybrid will see the market, it takes at least six years, he said. US Agriseeds is specifically looking at the wet season as a market for a variety developed to be tolerant to bacterial leaf blight (BLB), an infestation problem that perennially causes farmers to abstain from hybrid rice use
during the wet season. This is the Tatag Hybrid or TH 82. TH 82 is very tolerant to bacterial leaf blight. It has been proven that it could perform in the wet season, he said. In Davao, were getting 11 tons per hectare even in the wet season. I think this is why weve progressed fast because TH 82 can be grown in the wet season. Farmers can plant it year round in many provinces. The company is further working on a variety that has more intensified trait against the disease. Dr. Jagadeesha Gouda, SeedworksIndia senior plant breeder, said a BLB resistant variety is being developed by Seedworks in its facility at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi Arid Tropics or ICRISAT based in Hyderabad, India. It is not only sturdy against lodging, but it can also withstand stresses such as lack of irrigation and is suitable in areas where there are interruptions in irrigation, SPI said. Farmers in rainfed areas have become interested in TH 82 even if hybrid rice is least recommended in rainfed areas. Based on our experience, we have sold to rainfed areas in some parts of Panay, Pangasinan, and Bicol. Water in rainfed is not as sufficient as those in irrigated areas that get water through NIA. But were getting an increment
of two tons (per hectare) in areas where yield is only three to four tons, he said. Rainfed areas are a potentially vast market with records showing some three million hectares all over the country. SPI conducts technology demonstration in multi-locations right in farmers areas through the Farmer Reliability Test (FRT). It has more than 40 FRT areas nationwide. Its other hybrid rice variety, US 88, has been developed specifically for the Philippines. It is a long grain type of rice suited to Filipinos preferred cooking quality and taste. The US 88 is only sold in the Philippines. Its one of the good varieties for eating quality with intermediate amylose. The texture is like IR 64, the premium inbred check variety for grain quality, he said. It has shiny, crystal-like grain, and the texture and grain length is similar to dinorado which is a known retail name, but its even better because of its long grain, said SPI. Its specific target market is progressive farmers, and farmers that are already getting a good yield can get even higher yield.. It is covered by the (loan facility) of the Sikat Saka program, he said. Target areas are Isabela, Nueva Ecija, Davao del Sur.

spoon-feeding approach has spoiled us, making us feel that there is no need to really think anymore. After all, the informations already there, right? But that isnt quite true. Our life processeseffective communication, the proper handling of any interaction, the achievement of any goal we aspire tocannot take place without critical thinking. So now that we know how essential it is, we need to fully understand what critical thinking is and its importance. We need to find our way back to being critical thinkersto possess the attitudes and hone the skills needed in critical thinking. What Is Critical Thinking? Critical thinking is a higher-order skill. What does that mean? It means that it isnt a skill that we need to exist and survive, but its something that we need to do things properly and in an excellent manner, making us more successful in whatever it is we set out to do. It is a way of thinking that assesses the big picture, to determine what is needed to attain goals and/or resolve issues. The big picture is the sum total of all pieces of the puzzle relevant to whatever we are doing. Seeing the big picture will help us see everything that could possibly be involved in what were looking at. It might even pull in extra information that might be applicable. Critical Thinking Musts Critical thinking is hard workit requires the right attitudes so you will make the effort to focus and find the time to reflect. It also entails having some prerequisite skills because its more than the simple accumulation of information; it includes the analysis of the information given, its source/s and the quality of the information itself, and how it can be used. Below are the right attitudes you need to develop to be a critical thinker: Open-mindedness. A critical thinker knows that he doesnt know everything (who does?), and is always open to and curious about ideas that he comes acrossnot just the ideas themselves, but the possibilities that could be brought about by these ideas. He is open to mistakes and getting feedback (whether positive or negative). A passion for excellence. This shows in his attention to detail and perseverancehe wants to know what all his options are and tries to fully understand them, their consequences and implications. He leaves no stone unturned and does not give up until all the possibilities are exhausted. A critical thinker thinks clearly and rationally, and independently. To do so, he must have the following skills: Intelligent informationgathering. This is to figure out where to get the necessary information, to evaluate the information by assessing the relevance and usefulness of the ideas gathered from different sources. Active listening and comprehension. The ability to listen carefully and attentively to information thats presented, and to understand itthe validity of, and logical connection between the various ideas in the information given. Reasoning. The ability to detect inconsistencies and mistakes in reasoning, filtering what makes sense and what doesnt, and to come up with his own ideas and conclusions based on the information given to him. Effective communication. The ability to share these ideas and conclusions to those around him in an understandable manner so problems are solved, tasks are carried out properly, and responsibilities are fulfilled not just by him, but by the people he interacts with. Whew! Becoming a critical thinker is a tall order, but its definitely something that will be worth your while. To get you started on your way, answer the following questions and reflect on your responses. Do you prefer being given the correct answers rather than figuring them out yourself? Do you avoid thinking a lot about
Critical Thinking As A Way Of Life

Making What You Love Work for You

n my line of work as a communications consultant, I get to meet with clients all the time who want their employees to become more effective communicators. We almost always start talking about the basics of body language, voice quality, grammar and pronunciation, but as we get into the details of what needs to be included in the program, the discussion inevitably leads to a skill that most everyone feels is possessed by just a chosen few. So what is this skill that is perceived to be something rare these days? It is none other than Critical Thinking. In todays technology-driven digital environment, it seems like a lot of people dont feel the need to really think or analyze anymore. Information on anythingfrom the simplest concepts to the most complicated processes seem to be just a few clicks away, and the majority just take whatevers therehook, line and sinkerwithout making an effort to figure out whether the information makes sense. This
your decisions and rely mostly on your gut feelings? Do you give yourself very little time to review the mistakes you have made? Do you dislike being criticized? If you answered yes to all the questions above, dont despair. Being aware of where you are right now is the first step to developing your critical thinking skills. Give yourself the time to digest these questions fully and reflect on your current frame of mind. Developing your critical thinking skills is a long and arduous processthere is no doubt about that. But lets help each other along the way as we look at each necessary attitude and skill in the succeeding columns, understand them, and then practice what it takes to get us to our lofty goalto be critical thinkers.

On Why Googles Coming Is A Boon To Local Business

Its rapid growth required a larger workforce. Googles office here is led by their country manager, Narciso Reyes, a Google veteran who was previously Google Sales Head for the Philippines. With their office now in place, what are the possible benefits we could expect? Heres an initial list: More relevant content tailored to the Philippines. It is likely that more Google content will be coming from our country. As Google develops its product and service offerings, there would be more adaptation to our market. The needs of our Internet users would be better addressed as more feedback would be channelled to Google. More high-quality jobs. Google is regularly voted as one of the best companies to work for. For now, I have heard that the focus would be hiring staff to support their sales functions. Still, the perks of being a Google employee are legendary. They allegedly aspire to create the happiest, most productive workplace in the world. This has the potential to influence how other leading companies manage their employees here. I have also read that their office interiors abroad are one of the most fascinating, with employees given more leeway on how to make their workplace more conducive to higher productivity. Improvement in our Internet marketing skills. It is but natural for the number one Internet company to bring our Internet marketing skills to a higher level. Since it is more efficient to market online, this would be a boost to our economy especially if we could successfully tap the international market. Already, many of our Internet marketers are being trained under Googles Engage program. The bulk of Googles earnings come from placing advertisements in websites and when you use their search engine. The use of their marketing platform called Adwords requires a certain level of knowledge which they will now be in a position to better propagate. Filipino website owners may also earn from their website using Googles Adsense, wherein they pay you for showing their advertisements on your site. More savings from Googles productivi t y t o o l s . While the Philippines, like most of the world, is still Microsoft Office-dominated, the presence of Google here would likely mean a stronger push for their Google Appsan Internetbased competitor of MS Office. Google Apps Office Suite is free, at least initially. Google is able to offer many services for free because they are able to earn from showing advertisements. Even if you do not choose to change your current software, more competition would improve your bargaining leverage and would likely make pricing more affordable. Faster access to new Google s e r v i c e s a n d p r o d u c t s . Wi th Googles greater commitment to our country, there is likely to be a faster rollout for their products and services here. This would mean that our market would be better able to keep up with new developments that may be useful in enhancing both our work and entertainment. Besides Internet services, Google is also into making smart phones through their Motorola acquisition. There are many more benefits that will result from the establishment of Googles Philippine office. These are exciting times not only for the Philippines Internet industry, but also for the millions of Internet users here. The entry of Google would serve as a refreshing stimulus not only to those in the Internet business, but to the entire economy.

ast January 23, Google launched the opening of its new office in the Philippines. This is a momentous event whose significance I wish to emphasize. The capitalization of the new office is relatively small compared to the billions put up by other investors, but the long-term impact on our economy would be huge. Google, as most people already know, is the worlds leading Internet search engine. While Google has already had presence here for several years, as far as I know it was only a one-man operation and there was no office.

How To Organize Your Records

iling of records may seem unimportant, but if you add up the minutes and hours lost in retrieving records, they will come to a significant amount in a years time. Compound this with the delays other activities suffer due to waiting, then the damage becomes worse. Finally, losing a vital document could cost a company millions of pesos. While we could only write down a very limited list of what to do to manage your documents, this would be better than having no system at all. Until you find the time and budget to get proper training, it would be prudent to note these tips on handling your documents: Have standard policies and procedures on records handling. It is important that every department and personnel are informed and well trained on the procedures. The success of any attempt to improve your records and filing management will ultimately depend on the people carrying it out. Classify your records. Categorize them according to their importance, the legal time they should be kept, and frequency of use. Digitalize your records. There
are times when it would be better to print a scanned copy rather than retrieving the original document to reduce the chances of the original getting lost. A digital file may also help in case you lose the original. It is also easier to search a digital file than a physical document. Learn the legal period when you must keep your documents. There is a wide variation in the number of years you should store documents. In some cases, there are documents that must be kept forever. Do not guessfind out the number of years you need to keep a document. Keep only what you must and throw out what is no longer needed. Arrange files both alphabetically and chronologically. Unless you are certain that your records would not become too large, it is best to organize both alphabetically and chronologically. Check for termite infestation. Ter mites and other pests like cockroaches could destroy your files. This is especially true for archives that are rarely accessed. By the time you notice the infestation, the damage may already be severe. Regularly check the archives even if you are not trying to retrieve a document. Also have a regular pest control service to
prevent or minimize such damage. Have a logbook for tracking possession of a document. Set up a procedure to document the transfer of a document. Indicate also the number of pages of the document being handled. This will enable you to know who is accountable in case of any loss. Consider outsourcing your storage needs. There are now companies that specialize in storing documents. These should not be just ordinary warehouse companies because there is a need to exert extra effort to secure your documents. Records management requires a systematic approach to cope with the volume of paper that arrives daily. Todays legal environment makes it imperative not to lose an important document. Also, competitive pressure to be efficient adds to the urgency. Do not let this problem pile up in your company. To know more about this topic, BusinessCoach, Inc., a leading business seminar provider, conducts a seminar entitled, Records and Filing Management.

Where Money Will Flow Next
BIZMAKER
Mark So
economies afloat, China was building a massive birds nest stadium to host the 2008 Olympics. The wealth had transferred into China for sure, but the money also found itself into emerging and Third World countries like the Philippines. According to the Bangko Sentral and the POEA, the Philippines received $19.416 billion in the first 11 months of 2012, up six percent from a year ago. Of these remittances, 78 percent came from the United States, Canada, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, Japan, UAE and Singapore. There were 329,947 job orders processed by the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration. Higher Business Process Outsourcing. According to the Business Process Association of the Philippines, they see industry revenues reaching $16 billion in 2013. BPAP also expects 926,000 full-time employees in 2013. There were 772,000 full-time employees in 2012 and 638,000 in 2011. More private and government investments. The Board of Investments (BOI) reports that P75 billion worth of investments poured in during the first month of 2013. Investments from Taiwan rose over 30 percent to $400 million in 2012, from $300 million in 2011. Some $400 million in investments were also infused by 16 companies in various Philippine industries in 2012. On the non-commercial front, the Philippines is also experiencing an influx of grants and financial aid from all over the world, as well as an increase in Corporate Social Responsibility programs. Needless to say, wealth is in our country today; if you havent felt it yet, trust meyou will.
Where will money flow next?

Eventually, and there is no time frame for this fearless forecast of mine, the money will go back to the sourcethe United States of America. Why? It will be the first of those countries that were hit by the subprime crisis to recover. I believe that the U.S. tripped and fell flat on its face in 2008, but you have to remember that the U.S. is still the worlds biggest economy, a giant if you will, and this giant is now pushing itself up and getting out of its financial mess. While full recovery is still quite a long way away, if and when this region (North America) gets back up on its feet, the wealth and money will eventually flow back to it. And as a Forex trader/investor, I am preparing for that eventuality.

A Strong Peso
The Philippine Peso has been appreciating steadily against the U.S. dollar. That is because of the influx of foreign money and wealth into our countr y. In ver y simple t e r m s , f o r e i g n m o n e y, w h e t h e r it comes from OFW remittances, BPO, investments and exports, will ultimately be converted into peso, meaning more peso will be bought, and supply of the peso will lessen. When the supply of the peso is reduced, the value of the peso will go up; hence, we have a stronger peso. But the question is, will the peso continue to strengthen? Will the money stay in the Philippines? I believe that yes, it will, for the foreseeable future. Inevitably, however, the prosperity will stop flowing in. Why? Because there will always be a better opportunity that will happen somewhere else in the world. You see, money and wealth is only loyal to more money and wealth, which means once all the opportunities get exhausted in a particular country/ region, the money will move on and we have to prepare for that eventuality.
o you remember the time of the ukayukay cheap clothes sold at shops at extremely low prices? Nowadays, you no longer hear about it because even cheaper products have stolen the limelight. Those products, like everything else, cameand still comefrom China. Needless to say, ever since China was granted access to the World Trade Organization in 2001, money started flowing increasingly and steadily into Asia. When the 2008 subprime crisis hit North America, which also knocked down the economy of Europe, the money transfer into Asia accelerated. Investors all flocked to China and the rest of Asia, bringing with them the wealth of the First World nations. At one point in the crisis, China managed to accumulate $3 trillion in its reserves. While the U.S., U.K., and the rest of Europe were struggling to keep their
Money Transfer Into The Philippines

If you recall, the Philippines has been experiencing prosperity since 2009. This is primarily because of the money and wealth transfer from the sub-prime crisis, and also due to the perceived political stability of our country. More importantly, it is also because of the financial preparedness of our Finance, Business and Investment authorities. Commercial money is flowing into the Philippines through the following channels: Improved exports. Here are just a few of the highlights from the National Statistics Office: Philippine exports produced $51.994 billion in 2012, which is 7.6 percent higher than 2011. In December 2012 alone, exports grew 16.5 percent or $3.970 billion from the same month in 2011. Our top exports were bananas (fresh), petroleum products, metal components, tuna, and woodcrafts and furniture. Higher OFW remittances.
When I Hire You, I Am Hiring Your Mentors Judgment

By Adam Bryant
his inter view with Ilene Gordon, C.E.O. of Ingredion, a company that turns raw materials into ingredients for the food, beverage and other industries, was conducted and condensed by Adam Bryant. Q. What are some leadership lessons youve learned from mentors over the years? A. There was one gentleman in particular. He had three daughters and his attitude was: Look, youre really smart, youre very ambitious and focused. I can help teach you about business. This was around 1982, and Id already been out of business school for several years. He made it a priority to help me hone my business skills. I was a strategist by training, and I was doing acquisitions. I was smart, I was analytical, but he said to me: You ought to run some of these businesses and see how good your analysis was. It may look great on paper, but you have to motivate and inspire people. Youre 30 years old and the guy youre leading is 55. How do you get the best out of him? Thats your challenge. So, early on, this mentor gave me that opportunity to run businesses. Ive been running them since I was 32. He
had a philosophy of putting people in jobs that were bigger than they were. If somebody has talent and good people skills and drive, I think you can stretch them and put them in a job that theyre not quite ready for, so they grow into it. Thats what people did for me, so Im a big believer in doing that and taking young people and stretching them. And employees love to hear that, because they feel like theyre going to get opportunities. Theres a big competition for talent. People will leave their company if they think theyll have more opportunities elsewhere. So you need to offer opportunities to your young people. And youll have a much better retention. Its not all about a two percent raise; its really about opportunity. Im taking these lessons in how people treated me as a young professional and use those lessons today to excite our people. Q. How do you know if somebodys able to stretch into a big new job? A. One question somebody once asked me was, What do you think are important attributes to be successful in leadership? I said its about tenacity. Its never giving up. Its having a Plan B. And thats one of my favorite expressions: Have a Plan B, because Plan A doesnt always go well, or maybe its derailed by a competitor or somebody elses new product or some type of regulation.
My point is to always have a Plan B that you can implement. Maybe you have to go to Plan C or D, but the point is that you always have to have a backup plan. I look for young people who have a lot of energy, and who treat other people well, because were not looking for bullies. Some people push their way through things and theyre not collaborative. I look for people who dont give up, who are very focused and organized but are also able to collaborate with other people, because in todays organizations, you actually may not have anybody directly reporting to you but may have a team of 10 people from other parts of the organization. Theyre your virtual team. So I look for young people who have the energy and drive to get things done, to keep their eye on where theyre going but at the same time realize they cant do it alone. Its not just a one-person show. You cant be the micromanager; you have to be able to get things done through others. Q. What else do you do to help develop younger managers? A. I use one dinner a year with my board to bring in young, high-potential managers. We have everybody give an elevator speech. You have three minutes to tell the board and other people in the room where you came from, the challenges youre facing and
how youre trying to create value for the company. Everybody might want to take 15 minutes, but you have to be succinct. This is part of what were looking for in people who have potential; its all about communication. What are the challenges you have, and you have three minutes to explain them, because there are 40 of you and were going to be here all night otherwise. And if you take somebody elses time, thats not respectful. Its all about being succinct and articulate. Q. What questions do you ask when you hire? What qualities do you look for in job candidates? A. I like to look at the persons rsum, and ask a lot of questions about how they made decisions to go from one company to the other. Did they have a plan? Not everybody has to have a structured plan, but I like to hear their thought process. Did they make things happen for themselves and their companies, or was it just serendipity? And serendipity is sometimes okay, too. So thats how I get into the interview and get people talking, but the key question I always ask, going back to my own theme, is: Who mentored you? Who did you learn from? Because I feel that, with the people were hiring, were hiring all their mentors, too. I want to know if they learned from
somebody who was an operating expert or somebody who was a strategist and what companies those mentors worked in. Thats because Im not just hiring the person sitting there; Im hiring the four people who mentored him. I dont think theres anybody whos successful in their role today who hasnt been mentored by somebody. Business is always challenging. It doesnt always go well, and Plan A doesnt always work. So I look for people who have dealt with some adversity in their life. It could have been in businessmaybe their company was acquired, and they had to figure out what they wanted to do and made a change, rather than sitting around for two years lamenting, Why me? Or somebody might have lost their parents early on. The point is, theyve dealt with some type of adversity or illness and they came back and they persevered. Thats what I look for, because very few people have had perfect lives. You want people who are able to have a Plan B and C, and to rise above a challenge, move ahead and just get on with it, and have that can-do attitude.NYT A version of this article appeared in print on March 17, 2013, on page BU2 of the New York edition with the headline When I Hire You, Im Hiring Your Mentors Judgment.

Chocolate Hills
The
On My Mind
Text by MARRA PL. LANOT
Bohol
rom the time we boarded the plane to the moment we touched down on Tagbilaran, Bohol, I had to remind myself: Calm down, my heart, calm down. Too much excitement might shoot up my blood pressure, and I didnt want that. Seeing Bohol was my infant dream come true. Or, to be more exact, seeing the world-famous Chocolate Hills and the tarsiers had always been on my mind. It was, actually, not just a pleasure trip, but an assignment for the group who went to Bohol in February of this year. The board members of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) these days not only sit in a review room for at least eight times a month but also attend meetings and meetings of certain committees they choose to be actively a part of. They may also, on rotation basis, hop to the regions, per request of provincial schools, in order to explain to students and teachers the newly introduced ratings like R-13 and R-16 for movies and SGP (strong parental guidance) for television, and amendments to the Internal Rules and Regulations of the MTRCB. This falls under the Para sa Matalinong Panonood ng Pamilya nina Juan at Juana campaign. Board members have reached out to audiences in Naga, Legazpi, Mountain Province, Puerto Princesa, Dumaguete, Antique, Capiz, Cebu, Bohol, Iloilo, Leyte, and Davao. Theres nothing better, after all, than to go about things with a personal touch. The MTRCB now conducts dialogue with television networks and members of the movie industry to agree on common grounds. Instead of warnings and sanctions and adjudication hearings right away, these are avoided by informal conversations with the TV officials and representatives and movie producers, scriptwriters, directors, and, if possible or necessary, actors. Then, when an agreement is reached, a memorandum of understanding is signed between the MTRCB and the concerned entity. Soon, a series of seminars ensue. For example, the MTRCB tries to be more relevant than before by getting involved in barangay summits and consultations, forming several commitees and inviting resource speakers who are expert in their fields. Theres the committee on gender sensitivity and development, for example, the committee on childrens rights, and committees on other marginalized sectors of society. Since the incumbency of former MTRCB chairperson Grace Poe Llamanzares and now Atty. Eugenio Toto Villareal, viewers complaints are addressed immediately and acted upon with prudence, understanding, and compassion. The groups that go to the provinces not only explain the new classifications and ratings but also attempt to arouse in students and teachers a better understanding and appreciation of films and television programs. This pro-active approach encourages viewers to be an active and not merely a passive audience. Viewing becomes a family affair, a school concern, a whole societys responsibility.

The Bohol...
(Cont'd from page G-1)
The three schools we visited in Bohol were: Bohol Island State University in Tagbilaran and in Bilar, and University of Bohol in Tagbilaran City. The response was positive. Introduced also in the fora are the Memorandum of Agreement between MTRCB and The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) and that signed by MTRCB and the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA). The passengers must know even before boarding land and sea vehicles whether or not a video is being shown on board. This requires a streamer or poster hung outside the vehicle for parents to be warned that only materials rated General Patronage or Parental Guidance are allowed for screening. Violations may be reported to the MTRCB by text message, by phone call, and by email. Every time our team leader, board member Jay Revistir, and emcees, board members and actresses Gladys Reyes and Liezl Martinez, took the floor, the audience would go wild. The participatory method produces a first-hand awareness of what the MTRCB ratings and classifications mean as the students and teachers dramatize specific scenes, say, from a telenovela, and rate them. If one were on the lookout for talented budding actors, Bohol seems to be a natural scouting ground. Bohol speakers included MTRCB executive director Atty. Vic Muring, Palanca hall-of-famer and screenwriter Manny Buising, actress Tessie Villarama, award-winning film editor Manet Dayrit, columnist and now film producer Cathy S. Babao, and writer Marra PL. Lanot. Assisting the jolly group were Armand Villas, Susan Bandolin, Alex Talagtag, Reysi Esguerra, Adelina Magbalon, and Gloria de los Reyes, all members of the MTRCB staff. We also visited the radio station DYTR. Aside, of course, from discovering talents and enjoying the congeniality of Boholanos, we relished the food and marveled at the natural beauty of Bohol. Another pleasant discovery is that the Boholanos have a wonderful Bohol hymn students and teachers sing with feeling. Their Awit sa Bohol, written and composed by Justino Romea, follows the singing of the Philippine national anthem. Each session with the students was capped by a tour of Bohols most popular places. Bohol, also known as the Jewel of the Philippines, lies in the Central Visayan Region, with Cebu in the west, Leyte in the northeast, and Mindanao in the south. The tenth largest island of the Philippines, it
has Tagbilaran City as its capital. Former Philippine President Carlos P . Garcia, who pushed the Filipino first policy, hails from Bohol. President Garcia, instead of encouraging so many unnecessary imports, took pride in our native produce. Bohol itself exports rice, copra, banana, mango, cooked and salted fish, and limestone. Panglao island, which is southwest of Tagbilaran City, is an attraction to divers from here and other countries. It has crystal-clear waters and sandy beaches. Such a small island boasts of stone churches and its ancient Panglao watchtower.
back, women and men sing native songs and play instruments on a stage on the riverbank, and children dance the tinikling. Oh, so graceful are they, one would think they have been singing and dancing since they were in their mothers womb. Heading for the world-famous Chocolate Hills, we would find ourselves zigzagging up the mountain, the view sometimes shady, sometimes sunny, because of all the mahogany trees lining each side of the winding road. The driver tells us that the mahogany trees, due to crowding, compete with each other
sands of years ago, it is composed of limestone set on top of hardened clay, and eroded by wind and rain. Climbing 214 steps just to get a good view of the rolling, gentle terrain is energizing. But the hills during the rainy season are green with grass and ferns, then turns brown when the plants wilt in the hot and dry climate. No matter, the sight is unequalled by any other here or abroad. They look like they plopped there from heaven. You believe God makes breathtaking surprises and leaves us in awe forever. Actually, my dream to see the Chocolate Hills became an obsession when I read in the papers that people were starting to destroy the chocolate kisses out of selfish and capitalist interest. The picture was like someone stole scoops of chocolate ice

Near Panglao is the old Baclayon Church. Like other sister islands, Panglao is necklaced by soft, sandy beaches. The Bee Farm serves a simple but sumptuous lunch of organically grown vegetables and fish. We served ourselves with greens, topped with cosmos flowers, caballero flowers, and other edible petals. I reverted to the hippie days when I would put sunflower on my soup and everybody around me looked but didnt get shocked. Dessert was delicious malunggay ice cream. No one felt like barfing, however full the tummy, because the food was for the health-conscious. The popular Loboc river boat cruise at night offers Filipino dishes for dinner and a tour of the river. Along the river are bridges, houses, coconut, palm, and banana trees, and other plants adorned with lights, which are reflected in the waters. An in-boat singer croons love songs to visiting foreigners and Filipinos. At the end of the ride, what seems like mini waterfalls spout. Then, halfway
climbing the sunlight, reaching for the sun. No wonder theyre tall and majestic. I never thought mahogany trees, used for making sturdy furniture, were slender. Legend says that the Chocolate Hills are teardrops of a giant when his beloved lass got married. Another tale says the hillocks are debris of a long battle between two giants. Still, another legend attributes the origin of the mounds to a carabaos feces. A fourth legend says that the hills are excretions of a giant who desired to become thin in order to be loved by a young woman. Why a fixation on fecal imagery? Search me! The Chocolate Hills are some 1,776 spread over the municipalities of Carmen, Sagbayan, and Butuan within more than 50 square kilometers. Formed over hundreds of thou-
cream. I was horrified. Good thing the officials of Bohol carry a strong environmental advocacy. (In one municipal hall, a sign goes: This building is not your ashtray.) The protection of the environment extends to the endangered tarsier. Due to crop-growing; the kaingin, or slash-and-burn, agricultural system; the intrusion of tourism developers; the cutting of trees; the illegal, indiscriminate logging; the destruction of forests; etc., tarsiers have been pushed out of their natural habitat. The shy and nocturnal mammals were even used by traders and captured by pet owners. The harm done to tarsiers has diminished their number and it is now illegal to trade and own tarsiers as pets, for they are very sensitive and easily get stressed out when in cap-
tivity. Some even bang their heads in extreme nervousness; thereby committing suicide as their skulls are thin. States Carlito Lito Pizarras, who has been taking care of tarsiers ever since he was 12 years old in Corella, Bohol, the 8.4-hectar conservation area, where the Philippine Tarsier Foundation, Inc., stands, is smaller than the neighboring government-owned preservation sanctuary. The said private foundation is now named after him: the Tarsier Carlito Foundation. One can immediately sense Litos fondness for the tarsiers. Tarsiers sleep all day, and at night they hunt for food and eat lizards, little birds, spiders, and insects such as crickets and grasshoppers. A tarsier is about the size of a human hand. It cannot be easily spotted in the dense forest unless you open your eyes wide and follow with your eyes the line of a vertical tree trunk or bamboo. The mammal, suddenly aware of whispers, is awake like its at once staring at you and not staring at you. Its disproportionately large eyes have immobile sockets, and, in compensation, it can rotate its head 180 degrees like the exorcized in exorcism movies. Its small red or pink ears move in the direction of sound. Its bald tail, twice as long as its body, hangs down and is meant for balancing. When the tarsiers mate, the female gets pregnant for six months and therefore can bear only one baby per year. Enough reason to preserve the tarsiers. The grey or brown little animals look so cute and cuddly, but I had to zoom my camera lens and did not use flash so as not to stress them out. As we left Corella, as we do in other ecological tourist destinations, we made sure we didnt take anything with us but memories. It was nice to be in good company. It was a rare experience to be able to fritter ache of whatever kind away. Waking up at five a.m. and staying up on our toes until about 9-10 p.m. made us forget about the drudgery of housework, rheumatism, migraine, vertigo, back pain, hypertension, aging. The wonderful moments in the schools, in Panglao, in the Bee Farm, in Loboc, in the Chocolate Hills, and in Corella will remain with us. Bohol on my mind invites a revisit to Bohol.

3rd International Mt. Apo Boulder Face Challenge To Boost Tourism And Environmental Protection
A tryst with Mount Apo

o further raise tourism activity and environmental awareness on Mt. Apo, the Philippines highest peak with an altitude of 9,692 feet, the Department of Tourism (DoT) and the municipal government of Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur will hold the third installment of the International Mt. Apo Boulder Face Challenge on April 27-28, 2013. The protection of the environment is a major thrust of tourism.
Our 21st century tourists are more discerning and tend to patronize destinations with sustainable practices, said Tourism Secretary Ramon Jimenez Jr. The Davao region boasts of many unique offerings and attractions: the durian, waling-waling, Philippine Eagle, and Mt. Apo. Top that with the communitys active advocacy for protection, and we will have more desirable tourists appreciating these natural assets. The third international installment of the race, its sixth edition overall, spans 113.3 kilometers: covering 47.8 km of biking, 50 km of trekking, 3.5 km of water tubing, and 12 km of road running. Any team of

three, composed of two racers and one logistics crew, all above 18 years old, are allowed to join the race. For regular climbers, it takes two days to climb the peak of Mt. Apo and one day to descend. This competition invites participants to do a 24-hour climb of Mt. Apo and back, DoT Region XI Director Arturo Boncato said. Last year, over 40 teams participated in the race with 11 foreign teams from Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, Hong Kong, and Vietnam. The races winners were Corporal Cresenciano Sabal and PCF Gerald Sabal, brothers and members of the Philippine Army, who clocked a record of 15 hours and 38 minutes. They are hoping to defend their titles this year. According to Sta. Cruz Municipal Councilor Fernando Ugdoracion, the organizers gave equal footing in terms of distance covered in the road running and mountain biking parts of the race. Last year, there were only 20 km required for mountain climbing and then almost 80 km were allotted for trekking, Ugdoracion said.
The race is also part of the municipal fiesta, Pista sa Kinaiyahan (Festival for Nature), which was first organized in 2001 during a heightened call for the protection of Mt. Apo. The event has been espousing environmental protection awareness through tree and mangrove growing, clean-up climbs, recycled mate-
rial art exhibits, and fashion show activities. One of the municipalities with best practices is Sta. Cruz because it trains its community members to be vanguards of the forest. That is why we made this as the entry point of the competition because it is a model local government unit, Boncato said.

Online shop Goods.ph boasts of being the first and only store that offers grocery items (and a lot more)
Text by NICKKY P. DE GUZMAN
verything and everybody seems to be selling on the web that the sudden invasion of online shopping websites does not seem surprising at all. They promise pragmatism and hassle-free shopping to anyone who doesnt have the luxury to visit the malls and cannot take to stand and wait in long queues. Todays online-shopping websites sell products from gadgets to clothing and apparel, cosmetics, appliances, and even furniture. Many shoppers have altered their buying
and paying habits because of this trend. But when almost everybody is selling on the web, a blossoming online business must think of a way to set itself apart from the rest of the community. And this is what goods.ph wants to do. This one stop online shop offers three important factors that set itself apart from the multitude of stores. First, goods.ph is the first and only online depot that offers grocery products like canned goods, chocolates, and condiments (except meat and vegetables). Second, it allows its customers to redeem accumulated points from their shopping, a special offer that resembles that of the lead-
ing department stores. Lastly, anyone can wish to convert his or her points to ready money. The economy of the Philippines is going up and a lot of Filipinos are going online and are into the IT services but I think other online shops dont have a grocery (option) so I thought we should focus on this because food is a necessity. You need food every day, Goods.ph CEO Wilson Chua said. Chua also added that: Our philosophy is that buyers are also investors. They buy and invest, so the need for the rebate. So the more they accumulate, the more they can get. Goods.ph caters to anybody who wants to make the most out of the iP-
ads, smart phones, and mouses convenience. The merchandises range from pants, purse, play stations, and phones. Anyone who registers can already be a bronze member. Other membership categories include silver, gold, and VIP . Goods.ph works
on a cash-on-delivery system. Every peso purchase is equivalent to 10 points. All inquiries and online orders are done via the Goods.ph hotline 254-0197 with free shipping on all deliveries via LBC with purchases above R1,500.

Ara Hopes For Tighter Bond With Cristine

Text and photo by BHENJ AGUSTIN
ow that their yearlong rift has ended, Ara Mina hopes to become closer to her sister, actress Cristine Reyes. In an interview with Bulletin Entertainment and other members of media at Carron Dreampark in Nueva Ecija on the set of GMA-7s Teen Gen, Ara said, Lahat ng bagay na nangyayari sa mundo, may reason (at) baka mas lalo kaming maging close after what happened. She added: Kasi kahit supportive ako sa kanya, hindi naman kami talaga sobrang close na nakakapag usap, nakakapag-open up sa isat-isa. 14 years old pa lang, na-busy na ako. Wala ako dun para subaybayan din siya kahit na nagaaral siya. Kung baga hindi ko rin nagampanan yung pagiging ate ko because I was working. The actress recalled that Cristine texted her on Maundy Thursday to meet on Good Friday. As soon as Cristine showed up on Aras house, the two couldnt keep the tears from coming as they settled their differences. On Easter Sunday, Ara and Cristine attended a family dinner where ties were further mended. Ara said that people have noted her positive aura following the reconciliation. Sabi nila parang ang aliwalas daw ng mukha ko, parang
ang gaan-gaan lang ng buhay, she said. What lessons did she learn from the episode? Siguro, lalo na sa mga katulad ko na maaga pa lang nagtatrabaho na, i-see to it nila na once in awhile kakamustahin mo yung mga mahal mo sa buhay. OK ka ba? Wala ka bang problema? Yung ganun para hindi maipon yung kung anuman. Mamaya, may sama na pala siya ng loob sa iyo nang hindi mo alam kasi nate-take for granted dahil sa pagka-busy. Communication is important, kahit sa ano pang relationship. Ara said that she will
withdraw the case she had filed against Cristine. The sisters have promised to see each other on a regular basis, even as frequently as once a week.
ARA MINA
The last thing that Ara wants now is for people to think that it was all a gimmick. Hello! Hindi kaya biro yung magsampa ka ng demanda sa kapatid mo. It means grabe yung nangyari talaga, she said.
G Tngi Wants Nip Slip In Sexy Pictorial Removed

By ROWENA JOY A. SANCHEZ
hough shes comfortable in her own skin, Giselle G Tngi couldnt help but get shocked over her accidental nipple exposure for a magazine pictorial. The TV and theater actress has called the attention of the team
behind Rogue Magazine, where shes currently the cover girl. Sumasayaw-sayaw kasi ako sa pictorial. Siguro kapag nage-emote ka na, hindi mo na naiisip kung maghe-hello ba o hindi. Emote na lang, she told ABS-CBN News. Which is why Im asking them, kung hindi nila tanggalin yung nipple ko... my lawyers will sort it out, she added lightly. In the pictures shot by favorite celebrity lensman Mark Nicdao, G channeled her character Marlene Dietrich,
from the local staging of Piaf: blonde hair, sultry lips, with a fringed tulle gown by Martin Bautista. G pointed out that she has no qualms about doing daring photo shoots. As an actor, wala naman akong ano sa katawan eh. Im very confident about my body. Im not thin, Im not skinny, I work out... Wala namang akong kyeme kung naniniwala ako sa mga kasama ko. Hubad, okay. Suspenders na lang puwede? Opo, she related.

Alessandra Now An ASEAN Star
FIRST ASEAN BEST ACTRESS: Newly crowned First ASEAN Film Festival Best Actress Alessandra de Rossi is visibly excited clutching her silvery, made-of-bronze trophy but chooses to downplay her winning by making it clear shes not exactly a multi-awarded actress as her reputation makes her out to be. I have only two best supporting actress awards previous to this, although this is my very first best actress award, and from an international film festival at that, she explains with glee in her voice during an afternoon coffee in Quezon City the other day. Half-Italian Alessandra failed to
UST A THOUGHT: Winning takes talent, to repeat takes character. John Wooden
attend the festival held in Sarawak, Malaysia from March 28 to 30, claiming she didnt get an invite from the organizers. She won for her portrayal of a barrio girl who maintains a forbidden relationship with her first cousin (played by Coco Martin) in indie film Sta. Nia, which Coco himself produced. The film, directed by Emmanuel Palo, also won as best picture. It also fetched for Anita Linda the best supporting actress trophy. The Philippines scored its fourth big win at the same filmfest through Bugoy Cario, who was named best supporting actor for his work in Alagwa. DREAM FILM: After acting in a handful of indie films where she usually corners challenging lead roles, Alessandra says her dream now is to land a Star Cinema film where shell play the leading lady in a romancedrama. I want to be the girl who starts out as the ugly one and then transforms into this glamorous
lady with plenty of slow-mo scenes, she shrieks. She remembers an episode in her childhood that marked her for life, she says. I was in this play back in Italy, where I played the ugly duckling. As
the story progresses, the girl becomes more and more beautiful. Sadly, in the scene when she formally transforms into a real beauty, the director replaced me with a really beautiful Italian girl, she says. From then on, Alessandra says she had always considered herself an ugly duckling, not quite good enough to be a swan. I think it was from there that I started to lose my self-esteem, she mocks herself while blaming her mother for allowing such a disgrace to the family. ART CLASSES: At 29, she is without a relationship, reason why she says shes been keeping herself busy trying to learn some skills to improve herself. Shes currently taking Art classes. She was busy painting at home when news got to her that she had won at the ASEAN film fest, where she bested four
other actresses from Indonesia and Malaysia. The news totally surprised her, caught her in disbelief. Important awards such as this one are usually handed personally to the winners, so that attendance is commonly a must. Alessandra is also learning carpentry and has in fact built two buffet tables for her home use. I want my future husband to be proud of what I can do, she says. Enough of this so-called reputation that Alessandras difficult, rough and tough, masamang ugali. Deep inside, shes just another ordinary girl trying to find happiness. WRITING ACTORS: Thanks to blogging and social media, a number of actors have turned to writing columns or articles for newspapers and magazines. Among the recent converts to writing for print are actors Derek Ramsay, Victor Basa, and Mikael Daez. Among them, Mikael has been the most consistent. Basa has even landed a post as fashion editor of a glossy magazine. In the past, actors hardly wrote as the field was usually reserved for actresses who were deemed more patient when it came to writing. Not anymore. SINGERS AND STEWARDESSES: Its a curious point of fact that at least four of our singers married stewardesses or airline flight attendants. They include Marco Sison, Nonoy Zuiga, Chad Borja, and Richard Reynoso. These singers literally made beautiful music with their future wives up in the air. (nescuar@yahoo.com)

Louis Vuitton, Chanel Tap Talented Pinoy Designer

By NR RAMOS
rench luxury brands Chanel and L ouis Vuitton have tapped the services of a Cebu-based engineer to design some of its pricey purses. Ramir Bonghanoy appeared as a guest on Kris TV on Thursday, where he related that among Chanels recent orders are 2,000 stainless steel clutch pieces he de-
signed with a certain twist. It was sort of a frustration for manufacturers to come up with new shapes, because for quite some time were making plain, rectangular shapes. So we twisted it (clutch), he was quoted as saying in a report on ABS-CBNnews.com, sharing how he came up with his unique design. Bonghanoy estimated that the product could actually fetch up to $3,500 to $4,000 when bought at a Chanel boutique.
Bonghanoy also designed a dark rose-striped clutch for Louis Vuitton, which he said could fetch as high as $3,200. [They ordered] 700 pieces, he said of the design. Bonghanoy is president of Cebu Gift, Toys and House Ware (GTH) Foundation Inc. and Bon-Ace Fashion Tools Inc., which is one the three awardees of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) 7 during last years Regional Science and
Technology Week held in Cebu. Bon-Ace Fashion Tools Inc. started as a button manufacturing company. It went on to expand its business by producing and exporting fashion accessories like necklaces and bangles, as well as house wares. Aside from Chanel and Louis Vuitton, Bonghanoy also custom designs jewelry for Prada, Ferragamo and Hermes brands popular among the fashion set, celebrities or not.

Rafael Rosell Revels In Having Ultimate Freedom

By MICHAEL JOE T. DELIZO
ince starring on the drama series Temptation Of Wife, Rafael Rosell has had to sacrifice some things in order to commit even more to staying fit through sports, particularly surfing and capoeira. You have to sacrifice talaga. Tatlo lang naman yon: Family life, career, tapos personal life. So, you have to sacrifice one of the three. So, na-sacrifice ko personal life for career at family, Rafael said in an interview on Unang Hirit. Surfing was quite tricky for Rafael since he has to avoid the sun and take care of his skin for the soap. He recently shared on Instagram his excitement to go surfing by posting a photo with a caption that read: ... Dreaming in replay... Even baby wipeouts become attractive when you miss the surf... Snaaaaaaaapppp!!!! Tigang na tigang na ako sa sarp!!!!
RAFAEL ROSELL
Asked for tips in learning the sport, the hunk actor related surfing to life: You have to learn how to walk before you can run. Rafael also misses taking up capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance and music. The 30-year-old actor also enjoys ultimate freedom in being a bachelor inasmuch as it allows him to do everything he wants without restrictions and sans taking into consideration another persons permission. Sabi ni mommy, try ko daw muna magpahinga at yun ang ginawa ko at yun I found out yung freedom, said he whose last girlfriend was Fil-Am singer-actress Malaya Lewandowski back in 2009. At this point, the Kapuso star doesnt feel the need to look for new love. I think sa lahat ng lalaki theres always that need to have someone but Im fortunate to have friends to provide that type of friendship and love and understanding, he said.

WEDDING OR WHIMSY? Speculations abound that Ai Ai delas Alas has tied the knot with boyfriend Jed Salang. Pictures that she posted on Instagram, Thursday seemingly show a gathering attended by her children Sancho, Sophia, Sean Nicolo, and her ex-husband Miguel Vera all of whom were dressed to the nines. Ai Ai actually labeled the post FORMAL DINNER but for some fans, it was more than enough for them to start congratulating the couple. It didnt help that scribe and sometime actor Ogie Diaz a close friend of the comedienne also sent a message of felicitation to the two on Friday, tweeting: Ai, nga pala! Congrats sa kumare kong ikinasal kahapon sa US! Ai, ang saya-saya naman! Best wishes at sana, siya na nga, mare! Neither Ai Ai nor Jed has issued a statement on the matter as of this writing.

Junking The Chronic System

Just Searching For Novelty This openly gay and moneyed benefactor (MB) is in cloud 9 with all the successes he has been amassing both in his career and love life. Ever since he hit big time, no longer are just projects lining up for him, but also boys who want to be pampered. Yes, he has never been lacking of hunky boys to keep him company, to do as he wishes, all at his beck and call. From athletes to actors to dancers, and anyone in between, he wants them all on his terms.

Showbiz Sidelights
his early, this young and privileged starlet (YS) is showing everyone how it is to fail in showbiz. She is everything a newbie should not aspire to be: bad attitude personified. The pretty airhead seems to feel that she is entitled to everything, even to episodes of cattish behavior at work every so often. Some say that the overbearing attitude comes from the fact that she was made to feel that special from the very beginning: spoiled and well-provided for by a close relative (CR) who is basking in fame and fortune. At any rate, shouldnt she be thankful instead that despite being talentless, she is lucky enough to clinch projects owing to her strong connections? Such an edge of not having to sweat it out there to prove herself like some other ordinary Janes? Hey girl, even talented veterans strive to be professional and respect their work. You obviously feel so special. From the grapevine, YS was doing a shoot for a huge company. Projects like these are usually costly and challenging in terms of logistics, and yet, YS didnt seem to prize commitment and professionalism. From the start, she was making things difficult for the production staff. First, she did not like the make-up to be used on her. Second, she didnt want to finish the shoot because she needed to watch a concert. When her manager was informed about it, no questions asked she put her foot down. And what did YS do to retaliate? The brat in her surfaced: she sulked and slept further delaying the shoot. Showbiz insiders blame the system why people like YS thrive - raw, talentless, uncommitted, yet exist to be given preferential treatment. Too much, too soon. Perhaps its about time they realize that it is a selfcreated problem capable of creating future monsters.
This is a big risk on the part of PD who has a robust career as well, but according to the grapevine, the very handsome guy has already succumbed to MBs wishes... indeed! Life is a choice, as they say. Either you sleep and dream while opportunities pass by, or be wide awake and hit the ground running. To MB and PD, it works both ways. Our way of thinking creates good or bad outcomes. Stephen Richards Deal Or No Deal

Prior to singer and hosts (SH) appearance in a variety show (VS) where she was to promote her finished project, SHs family member (FM) laid out some requests (conditions?) to the production team (PT) of VS. It must be noted that SH is held in high esteem on the show, such that certain requests from FM are given importance as well. FM, despite her overbearing self, usually gets away with everything if only for the goodness of SH whom PT and others always take into consideration. PT knew that some of FMs requests were difficult to meet. For one, the appearance of SH in VS would coincide with the networks prized actors (PA) personal celebration that day. Everyone knew that SH and PA are not exactly on friendly terms. Add to that, SH also had issue with a controversial star (CS) that was believed to be already settled. But FM was still not into her, so she, too, had to go. (Illustration by Greco Milambiling) Those were quite tough for PT. MB has definitely come a long way However, PT tried its best to please since his struggling days. To be fair, FM if only for SH. So what were the he is undeniably talented and smart, conditions? Here you go: Request #1 SH should have her but along with that is the built-in arrogant image. Some pundits say it own solo dressing room Request #2 SHs and PAs numcomes with territory. That being such comes naturally if you have attained bers should have a big gap, as in far a certain level of success as one apart from each other. Definitely SH popular politician once said.

CS was eventually assigned to do a provincial show. with that. Requests like these cannot be He is very open about his life, especially his love life. He makes no overemphasized, yet PT did them just stones unturned as far as conquests the same, owing to the fact that SH of boys are concerned. His generosity is a valued and major star. It really is unlimited; he spoils them. Oh those takes a lot sometimes to deal with expensive gifts. One big reason, too, the terms of SH in general, and to why straights cling to gay relation- FM in particular. Yet, the one and only ships. Some get into it for fun and consolation for VS and PT: SH is the curiosity, but for the most part it is piece de resistance. Bar none. Some people obtain fame, others for the funds of it.

It is when the denuded forests of the province become national news that all hell breaks loose.

Running Stars, Raising Trees

ocal celebrities that are into running are expected to join at least 10,000 of their ilk in the NatGeo Earth Day Run on April 28 at Bonifacio Global City. On its fourth consecutive year, the run hosted by National Geographic Channel in partnership with the World Wildlife Fund will be held in celebration of Earth Day, April 22, when the world commemorates and takes practical measures to champion the cause of saving the environment. According to Jude Turcuato, Vice President, Territory Head, Philippines for Fox International Channels, two stars who participated in previous years were Miriam Quiambao and Karylle, both running enthusiasts. We dont necessarily invite, but there were celebrities from the past three runs. A lot of these celebrities do run, because I think they believe in the brand, National Geographic, and they believe in the environment, and they believe on what were trying to do which is

creating awareness for Earth Day, he said. Every runner who registers for every category will have a tree planted on his behalf. The runner will get a certificate that bears a photo of the seedling planted in his name by volunteers or, perhaps, even by the runner himself. At the time of interview, Turcuato said that they are looking into planting seedlings in Camarines Sur and in the Subic area maybe two, three months after the race. We still
have to finalize the location and our location partners, he said. Studies show that areas with more greenery contribute to a better environment through increased ventilation, lower temperatures, more habitats for wildlife, and prevention of soil erosion. According to a release, the Earth Day Run also cuts its environmental footprint by using recyclable materials for its race bibs and a Zero Paper registration process in the form of a Centralized Registration System, which National Geographic pioneered in the country. To join the race, environmental and running enthusiasts alike can register online at www.natgeorun. com or do it at the Earth Day Run booth at Greenbelt 3 until April 20. Upon registration, each participant gets a shirt and a race kit, and will be asked to sign their name on a small slip of stick that will then be used at the tree planting session after the race. This years registration fees are lower than those in 2010, starting at P500 for the 3K and increasing to P600 for the 5K, P700 for the 10K, and P900 for the 21K races.

the opening of its fourth branch at SM San Fernando. A premier aesthetic clinic considered to be the pioneer of Gore-Tex Rhinoplasty in the Philippines, Shimmian is owned and managed by Drs. Levi and Anna Marie Lansangan. Shimmian was originally known as Beauty Nose when it opened in 2001 at the Medical Plaza in Ortigas. Beauty Nose became Shimmian Manila after it became affiliated with Shimmian Plastic Surgery Center in Seoul, South Korea which is known as the premier institution in Asia focused on finding the best methods for nasal reconstructive surgery. Shimmian Manila is now known as the only aesthetic center in the country that offers the most comprehensive Human Stem Cell Therapy, the process of injecting regenerating cells to the body which is now the most popular anti-aging method in the world.

nother Carlo J. Caparas obra, Dugong Buhay, a hit movie in the 80s starring the father-son tandem of Ramon Revilla, Sr. and Bong Revilla, will be serialized on ABS-CBN. It premieres Monday on Kapamilya Gold. The afternoon drama series features a talented ensemble composed of some of the countrys finest actors such as Nonie Buencamino, Sunshine Cruz, Pen Medina, Ana Capri, Lito Pimentel, Christian Vasquez, Ketchup Eusebio, Yam Concepcion, Jed Montero, Ronnie Quizon, Ejay Falcon, and Arjo Atayde. In special roles are Carlo Aquino, Ahron Villena and Yen Santos. The TV remake is a special project for Caparas who said that when he wrote Dugong Buhay, he had nothing in mind but the desire to help uplift the plight of sacada farmers who were suffering from the hands of their landlords. Sa plot na lang at magnitude ng project na ito, kahit di ako bayaran gagawin ko.., the TV project is made more special to me because with the modern technology now, it will definitely be better in

its execution on the TV screen. The TV remake of Dugong Buhay is a beautiful creation that resulted from preparation, hard work and remarkable creative talent of the people behind it. Director Toto Natividad said, Punong-puno ito ng drama, intense drama, and action of course. And Im glad that they gave me a very good technical team and staff.

One year pa lang ako sa ABS-CBN, and Ive done several projects beginning with 'eBoy' and guestings. Unbelievable talaga. So Id like to thank the people na nagtiwala sa akin.

Kapuso Still Lords Over Urban Luzon, Mega Manila

MA Network, Inc. (GMA) has maintained its dominance in the key areas of Urban Luzon and Mega Manila for the month of March citing data from the ratings service provider Nielsen TV Audience Measurement. For the period March 1 to 31 (March 17 to 31 based on overnight data), GMA registered comfortable leads against rival networks in these two areas that are particularly important to advertisers. Urban Luzon and Mega Manila account for 76 and 59 percent, respectively, of the total urban TV household population in the country. In Urban Luzon, GMA scored an average total day audience share of 33.7 percent. GMA also kept its ratings advantage in its bailiwick Mega Manila with a 34.5 percent total day household audience share. Some 17 programs from GMA made it to the list of the 30 most watched shows in Urban Luzon, while 18 programs from GMA were in the list for Mega Manila. These include news magazine program Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (KMJS), the epic-drama Indio, the weekly drama anthology Magpakailanman, the movie special Kapuso Movie Night, and the recently concluded primetime drama Pahiram ng Sandali, among others. Note that GMA came ahead of rival networks in all dayparts (morning, afternoon and evening block) in Urban Luzon and Mega Manila. The afternoon block also remains an exclusive terrain of GMA as it ruled over competition in NUTAM, Urban Luzon and Mega Manila in the covered period.

ts easy to be envious of Marlon Stockinger. At only 21 years old, the Filipino race-car driver has already made local sports history by becoming the very first Filipino to become a junior driver for the prestigious Lotus F1 team, which count among its past and present members such racing luminaries like Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean. As one of six other recruits chosen from around the world, Stockinger is going to be supported by the Lotus F1 team in all areas of driving skills, physical fitness, health and nutrition, social and mental development, business ethics and principals, as well as PR training. It also brings him even closer to fulfilling a long-held personal dream to compete in the FIA Formula One World Championship. And the local press is certainly noticing. This interview and photoshoot with the Filipino sports star happened at the tail-end of a long day for Stockinger, one full of media interviews from print, television, and online outlets. Its certainly a demanding and punishing schedule for such a young man to keep, but Stockinger says that its a demand that hes more than happy to fulfill. I look at it as a good, positive problem to have. With the media covering me Im able to get mileage for my own sport. Im able to get support towards reaching my goal, he says. It feels nice to have so much reception because I feel now that people are starting to have this belief that we can actually make it. Its a belief that isnt just being felt here in the country. All over the world, Stockinger says that Filipinos have been eager to show their support, traveling from all over Europe just to see him and the races. At every single racetrack weve been to, weve always had Filipino supporters. Weve even had the Filipino-European media covering us and coming to us to the races, he shares. They recognize me when I go through the shops in Singapore. Some

STUDENTS AND CAMPUSES BULLETIN (SCB): Are you excited for your first Formula 1 race? MARLON ALEXANDER STOCKINGER (MAS): (Chuckles) Yeah, I think I should be. Im definitely excited on all the things that are happening. Its quite incredible that Lotus F1 team has given me this chance. At the same time, Im excited for my own career in racing, the World Series, and for trying to prove my worth as a full-time Formula 1 driver. To have a link to such a prestigious team is really nice. SCB: What was it like when you first got into your racing car? MAS: Weve done some testing and its really a great experience. It is a much faster car. Its just the last step before F1. Its really incredible. Its a beast of a machinery. But its quite claustrophobic. You literally cannot move your legs. You cant even look down and see whats going on. Youre not very mobile at all. They really try to save a lot of space for the weight and the aerodynamics of the car. For a person whos claustrophobic, its not a nice feeling. The seatbelts are really tight so its hard to breathe at the same time. You cant even use the full amount of your lungs to take in the air and oxygen necessary to perform well. Its just hell, basically (laughs). Its not enjoyable at all to do it for 45 minutes in the races I do. And you can just imagine in F1 where it can be two and a half hours. Because of that, we have to be very physically and mentally fit. SCB: So why do it if its hell? MAS: Because when youre driving you forget about all the suffering. In anything in life you always have to go through a bit of suffering, especially if youre an athlete. You always have to work hard to get a goal, you have to rough it up if you want to get the rebound. Its the same thing in racing. You have to go through the heat, the other competitors, the danger, and the mental challenge of being consistent throughout the entire race to finish first. SCB: What were the cars that youve been in? MAS: I started with a car that only had 120 horsepower then I went to 180 HP , then suddenly to 280 HP and now Im at 580-600HP . So progressively, it has gotten faster, bigger, and meaner as Ive gone up the ranks. Its the best way simply because it molds you and matures you to handle such fast cars. At the end of the day, our sport is very dangerous. You dont only put yourself at risk but the other drivers as well. You need to learn the basics to understand the rules and to have a high respect for what youre doing. Theres a lot of learning to be done before you can even step into an F1 car. We just had a trial last April 2, and Im bringing the F1 car here on May 4 and 5 for a full exhibition to basically just celebrate motorsports. Its bringing everyone the experience. Just because we are the F1, we dont want to snub the racing community here. We want to invite everyone, even those people who are not into motorsports. I promise that they will have their minds changed once they hear the sound of the F1 car roaring through the streets
fans even fly to my races. All of this progress is the product of hard work that has spanned almost half of Stockingers life. He first fell in love with motorsports watching his father race at a track in Carmona, Cavite, and he hasnt stopped working towards the F1 dream since. He tried his hand out at karting first, and was able to rack up a considerable amount of acclaim: He was the first and youngest Filipino driver to represent the Philippines in the Junior Rotax Max World Finals in 2004; in 2005 he emerged champion in both the senior Rotax max Philippine Shell Super Karting Series and in the Philippine Junior Rotax Max Challenge; he was champion in the 2006 Senior Rotax Max Challenge and 2007 Philippine Senior Rotax Max Challenge. Transitioning to the world of Formula One has also yielded similar accomplishments. In 2008, he was the only Filipino to win the Formula BMW Pacific Scholarship. His time with Formula Renault resulted in a first place finish at Englands Croft Circuit, making him the first Filipino to have won a formula race in Europe. In 2012, he bagged his first win in the GP3 series at Monaco. Stockinger, however, has no plans to rest on his laurels. I have won Monaco. I have proved that we can be the best and beat the best. Im not going there to compete and just come in at 10th place. I go there to actually win a race, he says. Every time I can, I will be pushing myself and the Philippines to the top of the motorsports classification. Hes even planning to bring F1 here to the Philippines. On May 3, an actual F1 car will be flown in for a Lotus F1 Roadshow that will last until May 5. Stockinger will be the official driver. In this 60 Minutes conversation, Marlon Stockinger lets readers take a peek at what its like to be the countrys best hope for F1 glory. From pre-race rituals, to the discomfort of being in an actual F1 car, to the lucky coin he keeps in his helmet, Marlon Stockinger shares all and then some. All we have to do is keep up. (Ronald S. Lim)
of Manila. Its basically a demo of me as a Filipino race car driver, driving the F1 car, burning tires, sharing the sound, and showcasing our countrys talents. SCB: Where will the exhibition be? MAS: At the moment, I dont want to disclose everything simply because I want to build it up. Ill give you guys a teaser, it will be at kilometer zero. SCB: Is there nervousness? We learned that this is something youve been working for since 2008. MAS: Yeah. Theres some nervousness because you want to impress the team. At the same time, I dont want to crash it and look like a fool. Its a good pressure. Its a good problem to have. Its basically the mecca of motorsports. Its the top level. To be able to reach that in a months time and drive it in your hometown, its really just a blessing and Im happy with the support that weve been getting so far. Im just so proud to carry that with me and bring it back here and show the country that we made it to the top level. Its really for national pride and international recognition, and to put the Philippines on the motorsports map. SCB: Is there also pressure because essentially, youre not only representing the Philippines but Southeast Asia? Youre the first Southeast Asian F1 driver. MAS: Yeah, its really a special moment, being the first Pinoy is nice but being the first Southeast Asian who is pushing for it, and hopefully to have the first pledge drive in Formula 1 would be really nice. Again, its putting us on the world level. If you could be the first Southeast Asian, its a nice claim to have. FOUR YEARS IN THE MAKING SCB: When we first talked to you in 2008, this was already the plan. Is four years a reasonable time to make it to F1 or do you have it quicker than other people? MAS: A lot of people have done it quicker, some have taken more time. Im hoping in the next two years, at least, well actually You always have to go through a bit of suffering, especially if youre an athlete. You always have to work hard to get a goal. You have to rough it up to get the rebound. be able to secure a full-on race drive. But at the moment, anything can happen. If I have a great season this year, I could also end up in a race seat by the end of the year. So like with anything, it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to obviously get to that point. We also need the support of our country, the government, and local businesses to push and to get there because we all know that racing is very expensive. So we need the funding as well. My parents, thankfully enough, supported me but they could only go so far. Were so close, were basically at the footsteps of F1. Were just knocking on the door. The door has been wide open but it has never been in our motorsports history. To get the backing of the country will be really great. Hopefully, by bringing the roadshow here and giving back to our country, well be able to gain more support from the Philippines and reach our goal in F1. SCB: Are you getting any support from the government now? MAS: Slowly, I guess. I had some courtesy calls with mayors. I get the recognition as well with the media. Theres more reception now when I come home, and the sports is gaining popularity and mileage. At the same time, we have a partner with Globe Tattoo; theyre supporting the event as well as my racing career. There are other telecommunications companies on board as well. I think when people realize the potential and see how close we are to the top, it makes sense, especially in terms of synergy. And F1 is, at the end of the day, a business so there are a lot of opportunities as well for our local businesses here in the country to promote not only locally but abroad. SCB: When you first became a scholar for BMW, did you have a timeline of when you will become an F1 driver? MAS: Yeah, actually most interviews dont know that I was with a Formula One team before, with BMW. That was early in my career so it was not big news. I didnt honestly plan to be on another F1 team again or another program. But I guess it was the right timing in a way. To have that support, and the same team boss as that of the

F1 drivers, were as close as ever. Back then, I didnt know. I was just starting my formula career then. By now, I have some credentials. I have won Monaco. I have proved that we can be the best and beat the best out there in terms of motorsports. Its not like Im going there to compete and just to come in 10th place. I go there to actually win a race. We have the possibility to go there. Its not on a local level, and not even on the Asian level. Its on an international level in motorsports. Every time I can, I will be pushing myself and the Philippines on top of the motorsports classification. SCB: When you won that Monaco race, we even saw that YouTube video when you were awarded on the podium and you were crying while the Philippine flag was being raised and the anthem being played. How was that experience? MAS: Of course naman it was nice to hear the Lupang Hinirang play. I was bit worried though because in the previous race, they inverted the flag! SCB: Really? Were at war? MAS: Yeah! I was just saying to them that if you put our flag at the right, that means were at war. I dont know what news you heard but my countrys at peace right now. But yeah, it was a proud moment for me to win such a prestigious race, and my first race in that series. It was such a great feeling. It really motivated me to give more. It was also the best way I could gain recognition for the sport here in the Philippines. It also shows that Pinoys are everywhere. After the race, in the balconies and apartments in Monaco, there were Filipinos shouting! It was really great to get that reception, not only here in the Philippines but abroad. I guess the minute they heard the national anthem, they were surprised that a Pinoy driver had won. SCB: What about the racers, were they surprised that theres a racer from the Philippines? MAS: In the beginning the people were like, who is this guy? Hes from the

Philippines. Never heard of the country. Never heard of anyone representing from there. But then I won the race, I proved to them and now they know who I am. I guess, theres no more underestimating. In the beginning, it was easier because you were taken for granted. But the minute you start proving yourself, they suddenly realize youre a threat
Id like to be a normal guy

What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery? Losing a race (laughs)! What is your idea of earthly happiness? Winning a race? Where would you like to live? My house in Alabang, for sure. Who are your favorite heroes in fiction? Superman. Not because he looks like me (laughs). Who are your favorite characters in history? (Ayrton) Senna was like a hero to me. He was also before I was born, and I only knew him later in life. Who would you have liked to be? Just a normal guy. Going to college or studying Law like my sister. Im quite envious of her doing all those great things. What characteristic do you admire most in a person? They have to be really funny. I enjoy being around positive, happy people, and I think laughter is the best way. What do you value most in your friends? Loyalty. I guess, if theyre really your friend, theyll be there. What is your favorite preoccupation? Definitely video games. How would you like to die? Not at all. I dont want to think about that (laughs)! If you could invite five people to dinner, who would they be? Definitely Senna. Id definitely bring back my grandparents from my Filipino side because I lost both of them. Jovy Marcelo. He died in a racing accident in Indianapolis, and he was our countrys biggest hope in the past to reach the top of motorsports. It would be interesting to know how he was doing it at the time. Dodjie Laurel is a great motorsport idol in Philippine racing history. Unfortunately, people dont really know who they are, but he won Macau, twice even. Just to sit down with all those people, it would be really nice to have them share their experiences with me.
because youre winning the race. Its better now because they respect us. They know that were able to win races like Monaco and finish in the top 10 in the championship and have the connection to a Formula 1 team. These people in Lotus, they receive hundreds of applicants a day or in a month. But they choose you. Youre handpicked. So out of the thousands of applicants, theres only seven chosen. And having the Philippines as one of those seven is quite a big honor to have. GIVING IT HIS BEST SHOT SCB: During your journey, was there a moment that you felt like its not going to happen? MAS: Yeah, of course, you always have doubts. In anything you do in life, there are times that you are super confident and also times that you ask, when is it going to happen? But you have to have a stern focus, belief, and the determination to achieve your goals despite the highs or lows. As we all know, you cant always be winning. At the same time, you shouldnt be always losing. So I just try to focus on making more good than bad in terms of my motorsports career to ensure the motivation and drive to keep on going. SCB: When was that and how did you get out of that slump? MAS: I guess in my first years when I went to Europe. Even though I am half Swiss, I definitely grew up here in the Philippines. I was born and raised here so to move to Europe and learn a new culture, new country, those were the moments when I thought, is it really worth it to give up my family and friends at home? You question yourself but as soon as you see the hard work pay off, which doesnt come easily, then you have more and more belief. When you choose a profession, you should at least try to be the best that you can be. Be as perfect as you possibly can. The results will come, no matter what. SCB: Was there a specific turning point when you said, Okay, Im going to do this? MAS: Yeah, when I stopped school, as unfortunate as that was. I know my parents werent so happy about it. But while I was doing racing and studying at the same time, I was sort of falling between two stools, none of them were really excelling. I told them, Look guys, I really have just one shot at this. You can only do it when youre young,
unfortunately. And they said, Okay, well give you our full support. SCB: Was this with British School Manila or with homeschooling? MAS: I already started racing when I was still studying at British School. It took its toll a bit because I was not in school a lot. I tried to carry it on when I went to England. I went to a college in Cambridge called CATS College. I was there for almost half a year. But every time I was at the races, I was not fit enough or fully focused. By the time I got back to the college, I was always behind. It was tough managing both at the same time. SCB: So you dont see yourself in another profession but racing? MAS: Actually, yeah. At this point, I see myself making a career in motorsports, hopefully one day making it to F1 or in another professional racing series. Honestly, I cannot see myself doing anything else. BRIDGING THE GAP SCB: You said that somebody has to lead the way for motorsports to take off in the country. But thats another responsibility for you if youre going to be that person. Are you ready for it? MAS: Id say no, Im not ready. Its really going to the jungle and just finding your way out again, simply because theres no blueprint on how to get to F1. Its never been done especially by a Filipino driver. So hopefully I am the first one to do it and then share my experiences, and make it easier for the next generation to come along. I hope that by reaching F1, which were already doing, well be able to open more doors for our country to get to the top of that sport. I definitely believe in the talent that we have. Im hoping that through what were doing, we can get the support, and the country to rally behind it. A lot of people have this misconception that its unpopular and an elitist sport. That its expensive but its not. Based on my following on Twitter and Facebook, I have more followers and support than most of the European drivers on the grid. I guess in Europe they are used to it already that they already have their world champions and they dont need another one. I have almost a whole community behind me. To say that it is unpopular in the Philippines is a misconception. The sport is very much popular. Its just making
that connection between the people and F1. Even Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen has a lot of fans in the Philippines. They fly to Singapore, Japan, or anywhere close for the races. Its just bridging that gap. Until we bring it to our country, to our own doorsteps that we are able to prove to everyone that this is possible. Because they are doing it, it doesnt mean we cant. SCB: What infrastructure do we have right now when it comes to motorsports? MAS: Honestly, its just not good enough. At one point, we had the best car tracks. Our formula tracks were good enough but now it regressed. Safety is of utmost importance. So I think thats one of the things they should focus on. You cant have silly accidents where people go to racetracks and hurt themselves severely or have a fatal crash simply because no one takes care of the racetrack or has the right facilities. I think if you want to attract motorsports at a higher level, you need to build proper facilities and start with the grassroots. Without the youth that are into the sport, you have no future for it. Its really about building the right foundation in terms of facilities, the right championships, and getting the right people to go behind it. SCB: Where can the people interested in it go, as of the moment? MAS: As of the moment, kids start with karting. They still do that in Carmona but its quite old now. I think its time now to start providing proper facilities of high class standards. Not so to get F1 immediately involved, maybe one day that could happen. We have the streets to do it. We dont even have to build a racetrack. But again, by bringing the F1 car here, we can open everyones eyes. If we can have those guys look at the Philippines as a destination they can bring that car to, why not have our own kids groomed here and not send them out? It doesnt take a lot. Bringing an F1 car here costs a lot than bringing a proper racetrack. Thats all it needs, a little bit more time and investment. SCB: What does it take to develop a program here for motorsports? MAS: I guess we still need our grassroots built up. Like in anything, it takes a sports athlete or a sporting person to really get to the top. Youve seen it in

t was a gaggle of children that descended upon the ageing hall at Teachers Camp in Baguio City recently. They had come from various points in Luzon and the Visayas, faced the hordes of Holy Week travelers returning from the mountain city, to take part in the summer media camp organized by the National Council for Childrens Television. Because the theme focus was childrens rights, it was creatively billed Rights. Camera. Action! The pilot national workshop did not face any major hindrances, save for the fact that it being peak travel season, the hundred participants had to hurdle transport challenges to make it from their homes in Nueva Ecija, Aurora, Batangas, Antique, Masbate, and Metro Manila. The small contingent from Maguindanao had to forego the arduous trip lest they make it only two days into the program. From the outset, the adult attendees

were resigned to the likelihood that, as in many other activities that involved modern technology, they would have to eat humble pie because kids are
typically more adept and faster learners. This we have proven ourselves in hundreds of outings in Anak TV where we marveled at the instinctive dexterity
of young people in deciphering the code of technology. The media camp aimed to enlighten the youth and their adult companions about the workings of television with the hope that they can shape themselves into more prudent users of the medium. There were lectures and demonstrations from experts in the field and the pool of resource persons was not wanting during the four-day program. Doc Luis Gatmaitan, a multi-awarded children literature TV writer, tandemed with veteran stage and film writer and director Frank Rivera for a scriptwriting class. Communications specialist Patrick Jay Veril led the workshop exploration of visual media practices and literacy. Anak TVs Jonathan Leonardo and Beth Calderon helped guide everyone in understanding and using the video camera and editing machine. No less than MTRCB chair Toto Villareal motored up to regale the participants and local media at the Baguio Museum with his engaging elucidations
about the best and worst TV practices and the importance of discerning and prudent viewership. Villareal became an instant rockstar as participants tried to elbow out local press in having an ambush exclusive interview and photo session. By workshops end, the output consisted of hundreds of photographs, 22 of which deserved a place in a brief exhibit at the Baguio Museum and at the workshop hall, 10 short video clips, and several video exercises. Not bad for neophyte kids aged nine to 15 and several equally eager parents and teachers. The summer workshops next stops will be Manila, Tagaytay, and Camiguin.

people like (Manny) Pacquiao in boxing, the Azkals in football, they were able to gain recognition by winning big events, big fights. Because of that, it paved the way for people to actually get interested and involved in the sport and build up the grassroots. I think the only way for motorsports to succeed in the country is if were able to put a Filipino driver in Formula 1. I guess that will generate the interest and the infrastructure needed to produce more young talents to want to go to F1. PROUDLY FILIPINO SCB: The Azkals had to deal with questions about their nationality and citizenship. Are you worried about that? MAS: Not at all. Im definitely Pinoy. I grew up here, I was born and raised here. I feel in my heart that Im Filipino. I carry it on my racing suit, I have it on my helmet, and I have it on my racing car. Theres no doubt, especially with Lotus. They put the flag beside my name. They understand where Im coming from. I stay true to that. Obviously, I have European roots because of my father, but at the same time when I was growing up, my father was in the Philippines. My mother has always been here. I grew up in a Filipino environment despite having a foreign father. SCB: When Pacquiao or the Azkals started winning, people always expect them to win. Is that pressure something youre dreading or do you welcome it? MAS: I welcome it because its a good challenge, a good motivation to prove to the supporters as well as the haters that we can do it. Im not saying that Im going to go now and win every single race in the series. Im still learning the last phase of my stepping stone to Formula 1. It can take a year or two before I even have to start proper success in the series that Im in. But thats not to say that Im not going to give it my all and really try to win every race I can. Honestly, if I were to finish in just the top 10, it would be an achievement because were not only classifying locally, were classifying on an international level. If youre able to do that, youre already considered a good driver. The people who are there in that last tier, in my case, in my grid, thats the top 24, 26, junior drivers aspiring to go to F1 in the world. Just a little bit na lang to reach the top. SCB: Whats your pre-race ritual? MAS: My ritual starts when I fly to the track. Im already being prepared when it comes to making sure Im comfortable and on time. Then I talk with the team on track to get certain things prepared. Then its about sleeping right and being able to get in the rhythm and being awake. I always like to hold my suit and have my equipment ready so when I arrive there I dont have to stress about finding anything. When I get in the car, I say a little prayer and I dont think about anything else.
SCB: Are you superstitious about anything? MAS: Ive always had this lucky coin from England, its a 50-pence octagon coin that I can easily fit into the screws of the helmet. Every time Ive used it, Ive always had good luck. Its such a tough sport and its so easy to be let down. Its not just you and the racetrack, its your other competitors and the hundreds of thousands of components in a racing car. They can fail on you at any point, so anything that keeps you positive can make a lot of difference. SCB: What do you do when you lose? MAS: Im a very bad loser (laughs). Normally, I like to have some time with myself. My emotions are quite high, so I run, I cycle. I think its the best way to get those feel-good vibes going. Just being outside with nature has a calming effect. It takes you back down to earth and makes you realize that its not the end of your life if you lose. SCB: Off the track, do you still think about cars? MAS: Normally I just want to go somewhere quiet, have at least two days to let my ears rest because theyre ringing for quite a while after. I just want to chill out. I dont feel the need for speed once the race is done. I just want to lie down and watch the replay of the race. Thats the only way Ill get back into it, just to assess what I did wrong. But mostly its just feet up on the table, lying on the couch, watching TV, for sure. SCB: Youre now in F1, what else is left for you to conquer? MAS: Were still quite away. Basically were in F1 yes, as a junior driver but theres a lot of hard work to reach a race seat. At the end of the day, there are only 22 drivers who are allowed to race in an F1 grid. Its a very elite group in terms of who gets to race unlike in the upper echelon of sports like football or basketball where they have several teams and several players. Thats still one goal that Im working on. But when I make it to F1, I dont want to say that I just did it. I want to go there, prove my worth and stay in Formula 1 and make it a career and say that I was able to go there and perform. My dream really is to win a World Championship, but its a lot of hard work. Theres still a lot to do and I shouldnt think that I need to relax. If anything, I need to work harder now. SCB: Do you ever get tired of moving around? MAS: Its quite tough, obviously. You spend a lot of time alone. Its not like a team sport. My team travels, but us drivers, we come and go. You always want to gain the support of your team members but when it comes to traveling, especially for me who comes from the Philippines, its thousands of miles away from where I compete. I just feel blessed that Im able to travel the world, be on the racetrack and do what I have to do. Not many people my age can do that.

Three ways to make your summer exciting and productive

By Harvey S. Keh
he summer season has officially begun and many of our students are now taking their well-deserved summer breaks by going out of town and hitting the beach. While many students would perhaps choose to just stay at home and surf the internet, here are some ways that young Filipinos can do to make their summer break more exciting, productive, and worthwhile: 1.) LEARN TSINELAS LEADERSHIP: Join the Jesse Youth Summer Leadership Training Program. The Jesse Robredo Foundation together with the Ateneo School of Government and the Kaya Natin! Movement for Good Governance and Ethical Leadership will be running a three-day leadership training program for young Filipinos aged 16-23. The program will run April 25-27 at the Ateneo de Manila University campus in Quezon City. It aims to introduce the participants to the leadership values and principles of the late Jesse Robredo through a
variety of talks, workshops, and activities. The nice thing about it is that this activity is free of charge! Since the slots for this activity are limited, those who are interested in attending must send a letter of application and their latest CV or resume on or before April 15 to jmrfyouth@ gmail.com or call Myra de Leon at (02) 990-3282. 2.) MAKE A STAND FOR CLEAN, HONEST ELECTIONS: Volunteer for NAMFREL or Lente. One of the major reasons we have rampant graft and corruption in our government is that many of our political leaders have to spend millions of pesos just to be able to win in our elections. These millions are often used to buy votes and also hire goons to harass voters during election day. If we want to continue to reform our government then we must begin to have clean and honest elections. Given that our Commission on Elections (Comelec) has limited resources and manpower to monitor our elections, it is good that we have volunteer organizations such as the National Movement for Free Elections
(Namfrel) and the Legal Network for Truthful Elections (Lente) which help ensure that our votes are counted properly and that incidents of electoral fraud are minimized. They are currently looking for volunteers to help in their poll-watching activities. For those who want to volunteer for Lente, you can call 8997691 local 2123 while Namfrel can be reached at 451-1586. 3.) ENHANCE YOUR SKILLS AND NETWORKS: Be a summer intern for a company or an organization. Instead of just staying at home doing nothing, why dont you apply to be an intern or an On the Job Trainee (OJT) in a company or an organization. This will help expose you to a real-life working environment which can improve the skills that you have learned in school. As the adage goes, experience is always the best teacher. Aside from this, you also get to meet other people who can eventually help you in your chosen career. Chances are if you do well in your OJT or internship, the company or organization will be more than willing to offer you a job once you graduate from college.

HE Roman Catholic Church now has its new Pope. The 76year-old Cardinal Jorge Mario S. Bergoglio, SJ, of Argentina was elected Pope on March 13, 2013, the second day of the Papal Conclave in Vatican, Italy, taking the papal name Francis in honor of Saint Francis of Assisi. Besides being the first Pope to choose the name Francis, he is also the first Jesuit Pope, and the first Pope who came from the Americas. His first act was bestowing his blessing on thousands of pilgrims gathered in St. Peters Square, asking them to pray for Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI and for him in leading the Roman Catholic Church. Pope Francis celebrated Holy Mass during his Papal Inauguration on March 19, 2013, in St. Peters Square before political and religious leaders from around the world, with a crowd estimated between 150,000 and 200,000. Official delegations from 132 states, international organizations, and various religious groups attended the inauguration. The delegations included six sovereign rulers, 31 heads of state, three princes, and 11 heads of government. It was the first Papal Inauguration attended by the Patriarch of Constantinople in over 1,000 years. Born on December 17, 1936 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Pope Francis was the eldest of five children of Italian immigrants Mario Jose Bergoglio and
HAIL TO THE NEW POPE
Regina Maria Sivori. He holds a degree as a chemical technician, but then chose the priesthood and entered archdiocesan seminary Inmaculada Concepcin in Villa Devoto. On March 11, 1958, he moved to the novitiate of the Company of Jesus where he finished studies in the humanities in Chile. On his return to Buenos Aires in 1963, he obtained a degree in philosophy at the St. Joseph major seminary of San Miguel. He taught high school literature and psychology in Santa Fe and Buenos Aires. After obtaining a degree in theology, he was ordained to the priesthood on December 13, 1969. He also became a novice master and a professor of theology. He was elected as Provincial for Argentina on July 31, 1973 and served for six years. He became rector as well as pastor from 1980 to 1986. He served as President of the Bishops Conference of Argentina from November 8, 2005 to November 8, 2011. He was proclaimed Cardinal by Blessed John Paul II in the Consistory on February 21, 2001. Pope Francis is known as a humble man. Elected as a Pope at the age of 76, he is reported to be in good health due to his austere and healthy lifestyle. We congratulate His Holiness, Pope Francis, on his historic election as the 266th Supreme Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church. We wish him all the best and success in all his spiritual endeavors.

N the March 2013 season of endings and beginnings, beginnings and fresh starts also known as commencement exercises, it was not unusual for families to attend three or more graduation ceremonies in one week, even in one day. (In our family, 19-month-old Alli led the list when she graduated from a school for toddlers, but Mickey, batch 2012, Ateneo de Manila, made history by top-topping the bar exams. In-between, Gabbie completed grade 6 while twins Patrick and Peter finished grade 7.) Graduates are told to open their ears to the commencement speaker chosen by their dean, principal or directress. The speaker has been invited to impart sound and solid advice that will guide them to the By Jullie Y. next level, either more schooling or Daza landing a job. Within the 30 or so minutes that the guest is delivering his speech, he is expected to inspire the young people to dream big, aspire and perspire with meaning and purpose, and find a place in the sun for their unique talents, skills and abilities to shine and cast a light upon the world.

and seventh grade graduates of her school for hearing-impaired children that she named after her daughter, the late Maria Lena Buhay, I was stunned into silence. First, speech-making is not my cup of tea. Second, how would I communicate with children disabled by hearing and oral difficulties? In the first place, how does one say no to a former teacher? For all the research I had tried to do, I was at a loss for words up to the last minute before someone called my name to go up the stage. A sudden inspiration, aha!, struck me like a bolt of lightning out of the clear blue sky. I was going to toss out the window the key phrases I had mentally prepared for my extemporaneous speech. I would let the audience lead me to find the words, I would tune in to them. And so it felt like the most natural thing in the world just then to face the children and bare to them the plain and simple, shining, unvarnished truth: I was not here to inspire them, as their teachers had told them, because I was here to be inspired by them. And what an inspiration they were. Handicapped by a congenital defect from birth (in most cases), they and their parents had to overcome obstacles that the hearing could never imagine. Even when the impairment is finally recognized, therapy is arduous and can be expensive. In the course of
my research, I was told by one teacher (not of this school) that it is more difficult to be unable to hear sounds and words than to be unable to see. Not only can they not hear whats going on the sounds, voices, noises that could pull them away from sudden danger they are unable to speak. No wonder, in one of the first and most notorious cases of pedophilia ever uncovered against a Catholic priest by the name of Lawrence Murphy, it was revealed that the boys he molested and abused were boarders of a parish school in the US. The boys, all pre-teens and teenagers, were his victims because being hearing-impaired they would not be expected to complain and denounce him for his dastardly deeds, committed wholesale. Is there an organic connection between the eardrums and vocal cords? Im inspired to do further research. Even before that happens, the graduates of Maria Lena Buhay Memorial Foundation are already a fountain of inspiration in other forms. They play several musical instruments and have formed a band and presented a concert, Deafusion. They have been taught and trained to talk and overcome their oral disability, because with hearing aids they can hear, but what is important is that they learn how to express themselves. In just that way, they communicated to me that in their free time they paint, dance, bowl, play basketball, and cook things that I am incapable of doing, with neither competence nor self-confidence! Once more, congratulations to the grade 7 grads: Gerard Abulencia, Ronn Cudal, Kenneth Galang, Nina Ignacio, Kyrah Marifosque, Ruth Villaverde, Jessica Vitto, and Rigil Zoleta. And to the prep grads: Mikhaela Alvarez, Raeyan de Rivera, Sofia Tuanquin. s (For more information, contact Maria Lena Memorial Foundation at 25 Starline Road, Blue Ridge B, QC, tel. 647-1270, or mlbmf87@hotmail. com.)

Mephibosheth Mind
By CYMBELINE REFALDA-VILLAMIN
ET no one among us be a fool in the languid April of our lives when nobody can be an overnight hero either. Most of all, do not be a Mephibosheth, which literally means Announcing shame and evolved to also mean someone who is a negative thinker, cynic, pessimist, coward, limited by disabilities whether real or imagined, living in fear and disgrace, loser; one who prefers to stay impoverished rather than exert effort to rise above undesirable circumstances as discussed by Pastor Jet Javier in his recent message at the COG-
Dasmarinas in Cavite <http://www.cogdasma. com> . Prince with a Paupers Mind Mephibosheth was the son of Jonathan who was the son of Saul, the first king of Israel. Jonathan was the best friend of King David, Sauls successor. Mephibosheth was crippled when he was five years old, as a result of an accident when his nurse accidentally dropped him while they were running away from the conquering army, upon learning that Jonathan and Saul were killed in the battle with incoming king Davids soldiers. Earlier, Saul persecuted David because he was jealous of his growing popularity when the latter defeated the giant Goliath of the Philistine army. Many years later, King David inquired whether there was still anyone left of the house of the former king to whom he can show kindness for the sake of his bestfriend Jonathan. David then learned about Mephibosheth, Jonathans son who was living in miserable condition in Lodebar, a wasteland, and he sent for him. Mephibosheth arrived at the palace scared but the king assured him that he meant well. Mephibosheth could hardly believe for he thought of himself as worthless and worse than a dead dog. King David ordered that all land that belonged to Saul be returned and cultivated, so that members of Sauls
Mephibosheth was the crippled grandson of a fallen king. (Google photo)
household will be provided for Mephiboshethwas to stay with King David in the palace and eat at his royal table like one of his sons. Although his grandfather was mainly responsible for his misfortune, Mephibosheth could have tried to transcend his limitations. We have heard of crippled artists painting with their mouth holding the paintbrush, chefs without hands who can still cook with what were left of their arms, other partially disabled persons who are differently abled and continue to live creative, productive lives. Mephibosheth was after all, a prince, a king-inwaiting had not his grandfather transgressed. He should have possessed the qualities of a warrior and winner, or at least a diplomat who would try to seek the help of wise, influential people in positions of power. Everyone is Gifted At some point in our lives, we may have the mind of Mephibosheth. Oftentimes, our disabilities were imagined, like If I am an eloquent speaker, I could be rich; if I have an excellent singing voice, I could be a famous performer; or if not for my height, I could be a beauty queen and a celebrity, etc. But we cannot acquire all abilities. Each of us is a distinct person with a unique gift or talent given by the Divine Creator. Our job is to identify this gift and then develop it, excel with it and give glory to God. The core of our identity is who we are essentially. Every believer is a chosen person of God, member of the royal priesthood, a holy nation, heir or heiress to The Throne, Gods Kingdom.
King David is a metaphor for God who wants to show us mercy and kindness when we are contrite and humble of heart, to give back to us our lost vineyards, and have us dine with Him in the Grand Banquet, like prince and princesses, His very own children. Freedom in Gods Word There is comfort, power and freedom in Gods Word. Alright, if we are not a Mephiboshet, what is keeping us from becoming the best that we can be? We strive hard but our best is never enough. Here is the secret stop relying on our abilities alone but submit, surrender all our time, treasures and talents to God for His purpose and glory. Then wait upon the Lord, pray for discernment, to know His will and plan for our lives. Have a personal relationship with God, not mere religion or rituals. Seek to know Him through the Holy Bible and He will reveal Himself to us, so that we will be thrilled with what thrills Him, be passionate over the things He cares about. Blessed is the man who trusts in the lord, whose confidence is in Him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green; it has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruits (Jeremiah 17: 7-8). For God knows the plans He has for us, plans not to harm us but to prosper us, to give us hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). Now is the freedom to break free from the Mephibosheth mindset, and start walking in freedom and in the light, live life to the fullest. s Email me: crvillamin@yahoo.com
Leadership
By LUCILA AQUINO ROBILLON
Concerning
Points to P onder
S described by Max Weber, a sociologist, Transactional Leadership is a managerial concept which focuses on the role of supervision, organization and group performance. Then according to Bernard M.Bass (early 80s) it is a leadership style based on managing subordinates through the setting of specific goals and objectives. The leader pursues a cost benefit, economic exchange to meet subordinates current material and psychic needs in return for contracted services rendered by the subordinates, he emphasized. Well, I hold a belief that theres a big challenge on the part of a leader. His efficacy as a manager is gauged upon how his subordinates comply with his instructions, if they respond positively to his encouragements, or if he motivates them to achieve their professional goals tapping the desire to get their tasks done for something in return. Transactional leadership shows that the key role of ones personal interest to grow professionally and intellectually is focused on 10 Philippine Panorama Sunday, April 7, 2013
the emphasis of exchange agreement. When subordinates perform well, they receive some type of reward. When they perform poorly, they will be punished in some way. I think this situation has a great impact on the thoughts and feelings of a subordinate. He will probably be challenged to understand his own position. On the positive side, he will strive harder and be open-minded to anything that could come the moment he accepts responsibility to do his very best. The law of a leaders power and reward is exercised by giving incentives to a follower who is a high task performer. And on the other side, a coercive position power is received by anyone as punishment for his low task performance. To my mind, there might be failures to find win-win solutions to any cause of
a workers shortcomings if the leaders capability to investigate is limited. More so, it happens more often that once a person is discouraged as a result of punishment he receives, he also loses his self-endurance to struggle for more. He becomes passive and tends to deviate from any rule he accepts. But then, theres a reverse side to any situation. I remember my close friend who had shared her experience. She revealed to me that she is a follower whose ideal path is to do her best upon receiving such encouragement and motivation from her leader. She could not believe that she was spared from a degrading incident, in which her leader could have rightly embarrassed her by telling her all about her failures. What she only got from him instead, were some remarks. Theres no risk involved if the relationship between a leader and a subordinate is built upon trust and respect. I believe that nothing will suffer if everyone persists on his goal. The strength of any organization is directed towards the pursuit of social needs based on how a leader shows consideration for his or her workers. I, for one, observe that the present issues on leadership calls for knowing our own commitment and involvement. Havent we asked ourselves, if we have already applied values-based behavior? Of course, theres always inducement for a taskgoal orientation which necessarily obtains each desired performance. Let us not forget that for every unselfish dedication that we offer towards our work, there is an enduring belief or a driving force that always reminds us that values are as important as effectiveness. A leader who does not behave ethically does not demonstrate true leadership. In any organization, to achieve a certain goal or mission, all persons involved must be guided by certain ideals on standards of behavior. I would like to share what I learned about values-based leadership. There are universal values which can be used to establish strong foundations in order to obtain success in any particular aspect of life (business, organization, family, religious sect, etc.). There are also types of values which come from the innate qualities of individuals to exercise dependability and creativity. These two types
If the desire of a leader is effectiveness of his management, he has to establish his values first in his daily works.
are naturally developed through several factors such as family, religion, peers, media, education and technology. For further developments, skill and competencies are acquired through different elements, such as knowledge, intelligence, experience, traits, preference and interests. I realized that if the desire of a leader is effectiveness of his management, he has to establish his values first, which are very essential in decision making responsibilities, in his daily work, goals and purpose. I have encountered through readings that there are already researches that convince people that value-laden companies are the most successful organizations. Let us imagine that any leadership style like Transactional, can achieve its objectives when significant values are formed. The members learn to dance to the music of compliance in the same way as the leader creates order for his goal attainment. Transactional Leadership, when employed in a conducive environment for people to work independently and effectively, equates success and satisfaction of results. We are always reminded that we serve as stewards of each other in this world. Share our authentic values as we lead others towards our common path. Each of us deserves to do the right things, and in the end, we will be among ourselves bearing the fruit of our good deeds. We are all committed to live, to lead and to follow by example. s Sunday, April 7, 2013 Philippine Panorama 11
Craft-y experience for coffee lovers

By JAN ANGELO YVAN CABANTOG
LONG Broadway Avenue in New Manila, there is a discreet, stand-alone coffee shop which serves not only great coffee, but great experience as well. You might miss this coffee lovers haven if you are not looking for it. With just a piece of bond paper with the words Craft Coffee Workshop written using a Sharpee marker as signage, this shop is surely a good place to enjoy some solitary moments, with a cup of coffee, of course. Good morning, Sir. Welcome to Craft Coffee Workshop! With the whole staff greeting you once you open the glass door, you know youre in for something great. The greeting is just a primer. The coffee nooks staff will accompany you to a vacant table and offer you a glass of water. You dont even have to tell them to do this and that is because its a routine. The brick floor, the wooden ceiling, the comfy couch everything inside the store makes you feel at home. Aside from the aesthetics of the shop, the aroma of the freshly brewed coffee seals the deal for you. Unlike other coffee shops, Craft shows you how they create their coffee masterpieces. Using state-of-the-art equipment in preparing their beverages, the baristas make sure that each sip will make their customers smile. The baristas also show their creativity by adding a sprinkle of art in their coffee. They show their craftsmanship by putting art on their lattes. The customer can even choose what art they want on their latte a rose, a swan, a

leaf, angel wings, a heart name it and they will illustrate it on your coffee. The taste of the coffee is the biggest criterion in judging a coffee shop. Dont fret; Crafts coffee is something that your taste buds will crave for days. With the first sip, bitterness will dominate in your mouth. After a few seconds, it will turn buttery, and eventually the innate sweetness of the coffee (Craft doesnt use sugar in its coffee) will linger in your mouth and you will feel a sudden urge to sip again. The friendly staff, the interior design of the shop, the aroma of the roasting coffee, the bittersweet taste, the over-all experience these things make Craft Coffee a good place to hang out with friends, to share moments with family, and to spend some alone time. I was asked by Crafts owner Peter if I enjoyed their coffee, and I said yes. Little did he know that I enjoyed the experience more than the coffee. s

How leaders
of trust
By LILIA BORLONGAN-ALVAREZ
can build an environment
The first step, McGee says, is to keep commitments to others and yourself.
MPLOYEES perception of how their leaders run their organizations and how they trust the latter are the subject of many employee attitude surveys. In many of these surveys, employees often cite the words honest and transparent to describe feelings associated with trusting corporate executives and their immediate superiors. But such surveys beg the question: where do the levels of employee trust (or distrust) come from? In her article Trust: A Competitive Edge published in the online Partner Channel Magazine, Pam McGee says honesty is a major component of trust and has five dimensions. Targeted at corporate leaders and managers, the article spoke of these dimensions which corporate leaders ought to keep in mind if they wish to build trust among their employees as well as the pitfalls these leaders should avoid: 1. Commitment. The first step, McGee says, is to keep commitments to others and yourself. She narrates how she once worked with a very bright leader but whom she could never trust. Ill get to that later or tomorrow was often the answer she got when she would ask about the status of a project. A leader who wants to foster high trust will let his team know if the project is still a work in progress, is stalled, or simply cannot be addressed or answered at this time, McGee says. if you say you are going to do something, do it. If you cant get it done or something is preventing you from getting it done on time, let everyone know the situationTreat a
deadline like sacred terrain. If you want trust, do what you say you are going to do when you were supposed to do it. Period! 2. Competence. McGee advises that to build trust, be sure you can do what you say you are going to do. If you are leading a team, ensure that the team members have the right training, tools, and technology to be successful in their roles. Others will trust them more, they will trust you as a leader more, and they will trust themselves more, she explains. 3. Intentions. McGee says a leader should check his or her intentions. She tells of three people in her department whom she couldnt trust. Reason: their motives are selfish. They pretty much meet deadlines, keep their word, and are very competentbut I dont trust them because they will always take care of themselves before someone else, and even at someone elses expensethey never sacrifice for something else, even if it would benefit someone or something more than themselves, she says. Then she poses the question: as a leader, are you building a team that puts the greater good above your own? 4. Policy and process. McGee cites some classic examples of breeding distrust in organizations. Leaders ought to ask themselves these questions as listed in her article: Do you require five levels of approval on an expense report? Do you have a process that is so broken that no one trusts the results? Do you have a budgeting process that never works? She says such processes are costly because on average, you probably have six to 10 extra meetings and 15 to 20 extra e-mails because of the lack of integrity in the processes 5. Ego. McGee says employees simply cant trust people who are full of themselves. To those who dont keep their ego in check, there is no room for an honest mistake or for admitting when they are wrong or for doing something that would benefit the group more than themselves. Their egos could just not take it, she says. Ego is good when it helps us build confidence; it is bad when it builds confidence at the expense of others. s
Poem
My heart is filled with birds

By Mark Angeles
My heart is filled with birds. They hear the sound of the wind and fly towards it, leaving me with a heart as empty as a bullet shell flowering from the core; a bird cage with an open door. I always remember the sound of that wind that takes them birds. It clatters like teeth. All I can do is close my eyes when it comes and hums, its fibers strap both my arms. In the pitch black silence, bird shadows soar one by one; tearing my heart apart.
Filling The Need To Belong

By R. O. ELLOSO
God has intended that parents play the role of providing this need to belong to their children.
herry, K. says that insocial psychology, the need to belong is an intrinsic motivation to affiliate with others and be socially accepted. Our need to belong is what drives us to seek out stable, long lasting relationships with other people. It also motivates us to participate in social activities such as clubs, sports teams, religious groups, and community organizations. By belonging to a group, we feel as if we are a part of something bigger and more important than ourselves. In Abraham Maslowshierarchy of needs, belongingness is part of one of his major needs that motivates human behavior. The hierarchy is usually portrayed as a pyramid, with more basic needs at the base and more complex needs near the peak. The need for love and belonging lie at the center of the pyramid as part of the social needs. While Maslow suggested that these needs were 20 Philippine Panorama Sunday, April 7, 2013
less important than the physiological and safety needs, he believed that the need for belonging helped people to experience companionship and acceptance through family, friends, and other relationships. Belonging to a Family According to Nellie Shani, every child born into this world needs the assurance that he belongs to a family who wants and loves him or her. It is believed that during the first year of our lives the need to belong is very dominant. God has intended that parents play the role of providing this need to belong and to feel loved. If for whatever reason our parents failed to minister to the need to belong, as we become adults, certain social and behavioral problems may start to manifest in our lives.A child whose basic need to belong has not been properly met will more often than not develop anxiety and sometimes even an inability to trust even God. Belonging in School When our pediatrician learned that my granddaughter Khiara, who was in Grade One then, was still going to a small school nearby, she advised us to send her already to a big school because she was seven years old. She was worried that Khiara might be left without a group or a best friend when she transfers school at a later age. She said that starting early, children feel the need to belong to a group and at Khiaras age, they already have close friends, especially in school. Beck and Malley, in Pedagogy of Belonging, state that all children need to feel that their world is a safe place where people will care about them, where their needs for support, respect and friendship will be met, and where they will be able to get help to work out any problems. When these needs are met, children develop a sense of belonging. This sense of belonging has been found to help protect children against mental health problems and improve their learning. Children who feel that they belong are happier, more relaxed and have fewer behavioral problems than others. They are also more motivated and more successful learners. The psychological sense that one belongs in a classroom and school community is considered a necessary antecedent to the successful learning experience. In an era when traditional sources of
belonging have diminished due to changing family and community demographics, the school plays an increasingly important role in meeting this need. Schools can increase the sense of belonging for all students by emphasizing the importance of the teacher-student relationship and by actively involving all students in the life of the classroom and the school community. Early in their lives, childrens families primarily fill their need to belong. This will change as they get older and go out to the world, where peers become increasingly important. The authors give a few suggestions for: Parents with children ages birth to 5: Help your children develop empathy by responding positively when they reach out to others. For example: It was nice of you to play with Eric when the other kids dont just because he couldnt play with blocks. When you see groups of children leaving others out or being mean to them, talk to the other parents about putting a stop to that behavior. Have a You cant say you cant play rule in your home. It means that a child can decide to remove her/himself from a group situation, but a group playing together cannot turn away anyone who wants to respectfully join in. Parents with children ages 6 to 9 Encourage your child to develop friendships of all ages in a number of different settings, such as school, a faith community, your neighborhood, or your extended family. Nurture connections between your family and families of your childrens friends, so that if some children are being left out or picked on, you and those families could work through the situation together. Parents with children ages 10 to 15 Stay connected with your children: Spend time volunteering at school, supervising their activities with friends, and simply talking with them. Make sure you can always contact them, and they can contact you. Role play scenarios involving groups of peers: What would you do if Tina told you not to invite Victoria to the party because shes weird and no one wants her to come? Encourage your children to choose styles of
clothing and grooming that suit them and your budget, rather than follow a particular group or trend. Parents with children ages 16 to 18 Continue encouraging positive friendship behaviors such as kindness, empathy, understanding, and compassion. Hang around your teenagers and their friends sometimes. Ask questions, listen to their responses, and pay attention to how they interact with each other. Correct behavior that bothers you or compliment behavior that you want to reinforce. Its harder at this age than in younger years for many young people to find activities or programs that interest them. Help your teen find out whats available in your community, and how to become involved. Consider non-traditional options such as leadership training, life skills development, or community service that go beyond sports and music. These programs are a big help not only for kids who are trying to reach out but also for those who have problems fitting in. s
...and to feel loved.

Political Fun
Sometimes, it would be the medias turn to pull a prank on an unsuspecting politician.
N his popular blog, a humor writer that goes by the pseudonym, Professional Heckler, prominently features this quote: The problem with election jokes is they get elected. Hecklers blog can be found at www. professionalheckler.wordpress.com and he has been roasting Filipino politicians and celebrities diligently and without an iota of fear for quite a few years now. I can only surmise how Heckler relishes his unpaid job By as the Filipinos online version of Susan V. The Jon Stewart Show. There is Ople so much material to be parodied especially with the onset of the local and national electoral campaigns. We also never run out of family scandals galore that morph into gleeful morsels of gossip that we all love to have like appetizers before a 22 Philippine Panorama Sunday, April 7, 2013
main course. Brilliant comedic impersonator Willie Nepomuceno, also known as Willie Nep, is one of my favorite political humorists. He shifts from Erap to Dolphy with quite a few other presidents and stars in between, like a man gifted with multiple personalities. I wish he would do more shows, particularly now that it is election season. Political humor increases our tolerance level and gives us something to laugh about. For wit, nothing beats former President Joseph Estrada. When he was a senator, Erap wore dark sunglasses while the chamber held its sessions. Amused, the Senate reporters would try to get near the popular senator, prompting Erap to raise his shades and taunt them, Im not asleep! Sometimes, it would be the medias turn to pull a prank on an unsuspecting senator. I
recall how a television crew of a major network decided to aim the camera at an elder member of the Senate known for his infatuation with a microphone, and unrequited love affair with the media. The senator traced the cameras movement, panning to a stop directly where his chair was. Delighted, the senator stood up and sought permission to speak. And speak he did, giving the phrase running sentences an altogether new meaning. Meanwhile, the naughty cameraman felt not the slightest bit of guilt for failing to turn the camera on. My father had his own awkward moments especially on the campaign trail. While running for the Senate under LABAN, he delivered his campaign speech in his baritone voice. Summing up, Ka Blas took a deep breath, raised his arm with a clenched fist, and called on the barrio audience to vote straight, Marcos-Fernan! Of course, he had to revise that call to action in a heartbeat, asking the same audience now laughing at his gaffe, to vote Mitra-Fernan instead. President Aquino has a funny bone, too. He takes digs at his thinning hair, and his forlorn love life. On some occasions, he also makes fun of his own Cabinet secretaries and partymates. The public his bosses loves hearing him speak in the native language sprinkled with a joke or two, because it makes PNoy more accessible, and thus believable to them. After all, where can you find a head of state describing his love life as similar to Coke Zero? And then, there are the names. We call our senators Pong and Ping, Kiko and Koko. We also previously elected a senator who believed in agimats while a lady senator now specializes in using pick-up lines to enervate her audience. Dynasties have become the butt of jokes, too, except that some of the jokes have become too repetitious. Not even the names have changed. No wonder we love politics in the Philippines! Its more fun because we get to be entertained and fooled, all at the same time. To have elections every three years
at the national and local levels is a joke in itself though. How can you expect a mayor to accomplish life-altering reforms when he has to think of the right campaign jingle and platform midway through his brief term? Politics is addition not only in terms of the number of candidates to choose from, but also the number of jokes that every political season produces. Have fun, folks. This is the Philippines, after all! s (Send your comments to toots.ople@yahoo. com.)
The problem with election jokes is they get elected.

Mini Coco
Extractor
Oil
Above photo: Ramon Uy and his mini coconut oil extractor. Here, he is also showing a bottle of extracted cooking oil from copra. Left: Sliced fresh coconut meat is half-dried to 50% moisture content before it is passed through the mini extractor for virgin coconut oil.
NE good news is that there are inventors who are thinking of how families in the countryside can process some of their available raw materials into something of higher value that they can use in their daily lives. Just like Ramon Uy of Bacolod City who has been inventing not only big but also small machines that offer families new opportunities to increase their incomes. Of course, Ramon Uy has made a mark in the production of big and small shredders that are being used by makers of organic fertilizers. The shredders can shred into small pieces farm wastes and other degradable materials which are fed to earthworms that transform By them into organic fertilizer. The Zac B. shredders, especially the big Sarian models, are also used by local governments to shred their municipal wastes. Ramon Uy is also credited for coming up with an essential oil extractor that is now mainly used to extract oil from lemon grass. And this has provided new source of livelihood for farmers in one Negros town who plant lemon grass for lemon grass oil extraction. Of course, lemon grass oil is a high-value product that is used in various wellness products.
Ramon Uy and Marilyn Celis show a hygienic dryer for halfdrying fresh slices of coconut meat from which virgin coconut oil is extracted.
The botanical pesticide to control mosquitoes that spread dengue
The Bacolod inventor has also come up with his own design of a windmill that can be used for irrigating crops. And then he also has his own version of a ram pump that does not use any fuel in drawing water for irrigation. His latest invention is a mini coconut oil extractor that should prove to be very useful to families in the countryside where they have coconuts. This is a very small machine that is run by electricity. It can extract cooking oil from copra, albeit in small quantities. The machine is still a prototype and is not yet commercially fabricated. But because of its practical usefulness in many parts of the country, it will not take long for Ramon Uy to decide to manufacture the same for sale. Copra is fed into the mini machine to extract the oil. The extracted oil is ready for use in cooking after filtering the same three times using filter paper which is cheap and readily available. One kilo of copra will yield a half liter of cooking oil. In 15 minutes, a liter of cooking oil could be extracted from two kilos of copra. Aside from extracting cooking oil from copra, Ramon Uys machine could extract virgin coconut oil from the meat of mature coconut. The meat has to be sliced into small pieces and placed in an
electric dryer that will reduce the moisture content to 50 percent. The semi-dried slices of coconut meat are then fed to the mini coconut oil extractor to extract the milk. From one kilo of half-dried coconut meat, onehalf liter of virgin coconut oil could be derived. Botanical Pesticide Another new invention of Ramon Uy is a botanical pesticide derived from plant extracts. This is a combination of lemon grass oil, citronella oil and a small amount of lemon oil (from the lemon fruit) imported from France. The botanical pesticide was purposely developed to prevent or control the multiplication of the mosquito that causes dengue fever. The spray is very safe to humans so that it is ideal for spraying in classrooms, residential homes, offices and other places. The botanical pesticide has been given the go signal by the Food and Drug Administration. While it is newly produced commercially, Ramon Uy is very happy that the local government has already ordered R800,000 worth of the product for use in classrooms. Ramon thought of developing the botanical pesticide with the help of Marilyn Celis, a chemist,

because he wanted to add value to the lemon grass and citronella oil that farmers are extracting with the use of Ramons extractor. In Negros, by the way, so many wellness products are being produced such as turmeric powder,
malunggay capsules, herbal soaps and many more. One also finds a lot of organic product advocates producing organic sugar, organic coffee, organic rice and others. Chin Chin Uy is a major player in the organic products movement in Negros with a store at the Robinsons in Bacolod. s
