Over 100 Dead, 3,000 Injured In China Quake

CHENGDU, China (AFP) More than 100 people were killed and 3,000 injured when a strong earthquake shook southwest China Saturday, wrecking homes and triggering landslides in an area devastated by a major tremor in 2008. The shallow earthquake struck Sichuan on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau just after 8 a.m., triggering a major rescue operation in the province where 87,000 people were reported dead or missing five years ago. Eight hours after the quake hit Lushan county in the city of Yaan, the death toll stood at 102, CCTV news said, quoting the China Earthquake Administration. At least 10,000 homes were destroyed, the Sichuan government said.

Slain Boston Bomber Wanted To Represent US In Olympics

BOSTON, Massachusetts (AFP) Boston bombing suspects Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev are Muslims of Chechen origin who came to the United States a decade ago but remained attached to their war-torn homeland. A 26-year-old engineering student who loved boxing, Tamerlan also apparently attracted the attention of the US authorities on a previous occasion. The FBI said its agents had interviewed him in 2011 at the request of a foreign government, an investigation that found no derogatory information, according to an official

Assistance Assured To OFWs Family

The Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) has announced that the family of overseas Filipino worker (OFW) Kathleen Ann Viray Ilagan, 31, who allegedly committed suicide inside the Philippine Embassy shelter home, will receive the necessary benefits accorded to her being an active member of the agency. According to OWWA Administrator Carmelita Dimzon, the family of Ilagan may receive P220,000 for death and burial assistance plus a scholarship grant to one of her children if the agency found that the cause of her death was accidental. Dimzon explained that the agency may only give her family P120,000 for death and burial assistance if the agency found that the death of the OFW was not accidental. We still have to wait the report coming from the police in Bahrain for the agency to determine the necessary amount that should be given to the family of Ilagan, Dimzon said. (Jean Fernando)
Feast Of Saint Anselm Today

By CHRISTINA I. HERMOSO
Local News
Today, Catholics commemorate the Feast of Saint Anselm (San Anselmo), a Doctor of the Church and venerated as the Father of Scholasticism and the greatest theologian of his time. Known as one of the most influential thinkers of the 11th century, he was the most celebrated spiritual guide during the Middle Ages. Born in Acosta, Italy in 1033, St. Anselm entered the Benedictine Order at the age of 27 and became its abbot three years later. He wrote important books and letters on philosophy and t h e o l o g y. H e was appointed as archbishop of Canterbury, England in 1093 and served up to the time of his death in 1109. He also served as important counselor to Pope Gregory VII, Pope Urban II, and William the Conqueror. St. Anselm was canonized by Pope Alexander VI in 494 and declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope Clement XI in 1720. On April 2, 1909 or 800 years after his death, Pope Pius XI issued an encyclical Communion Rerum praising the saints ecclesiastical career and writings. Catholics mark today the fourth Sunday of Easter, Good Shepherd Sunday, coinciding with the 50th World Day of Prayer for Vocations. On this day, the Church asks for prayers for an increase in vocations, for the Lord, our good shepherd, to inspire more young men and women to become workers in the vineyard. All masses and prayers today will be offered for vocations to priesthood and the religious life. Gospel reflections will focus on Jesus, the good shepherd, who laid down His life for His sheep. In a pastoral reflection, Balanga (Bataan) Bishop Ruperto C. Santos urged candidates in the coming elections to serve like the good shepherd in the Gospel of St. John. A true shepherd leads and guides his flock to the right and moral path. He defends and protects them. He sustains the life of his flock.

Cops Hunt Down Massacre Suspects

By JEFFREY G. DAMICOG
The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) is hunting down six persons including five family members after a court issued a warrant for their arrests for their alleged involvement in the massacre of five persons in 2011. Inspector Elmer Monsalve, Chief of the homicide investigation of the QCPDs Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit (CIDU), said yesterday that the six accused left their homes in Barangay Batasan Hills, Quezon City and went into hiding. Monsalve said the accused may have left after learning that Judge Edgar Dalmacio Santos of Quezon City Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 222 issued arrest warrants against them. The judge issued arrest warrants against Badilla brothers Francisco, Benjamin and Benedicto; Franciscos son Arjay; Benjamins son Melvin; Marlon Andamo; and a certain Ecat.
All seven accused were charged with five counts of murder and one count of frustrated murder. Monsalve said that Andamo was turned over to the custody of the CIDU in Camp Karingal Friday night after he was found to have been detained for some weeks at the Talipapa Police Station for alleged illegal drug possession. Monsalve cited that the accused was working for the barangay hall including Francisco who is barangay executive-officer; Benjamin, a Lupon; and Ecat, a barangay watchman. The police official said that witnesses positively identified the seven accused as the persons who fired and killed five persons as well as wounded another on the night of November 28 in a house at 753 Kaibigan St., Kalayaan B, Barangay Batasan Hills. Those killed were Liberato Paez, 50, Rogelio Diomampo, 36, Rogelio Agustin, 49, and Germinio Manansala, 44, and Armando Garcia, 47. The wounded was identified as Zaldy Ballesteros, 43.
Fake Fire Safety Inspector Nabbed

By CZARINA NICOLE O. ONG
A man claiming to be a fire safety inspector from the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) Makati City was apprehended by authorities after establishment owners reported of his alleged illegal activities. The alleged fake inspector, Ronaldo Obediencia, 46, married, jobless and resident of 2823 E. Zobel St. Barangay Poblacion, Makati City was reported to the BFP by Donnabelle Gulle of Tokyo Yakiniku Restaurant, which is located at the ground floor, 7844 Makati Ave. corner Guerrero St. Barangay Poblacion. Obediencia presented himself as a Fire Safety Inspector and insisted on conducting an inspection. He even presented an identification card from the BFP with a picture. But after a few minutes of inspection, the manager and chef of Typhoon
Restaurant, which was located in front of Tokyo Yakiniku, informed Gulle that the suspect was the one who demanded from him P3,200 for the fire safety certificate, but failed to return after receiving the money. Gulle informed their security guards about the fake inspector, and they took custody of the suspect and reported him to the BFP . Another complainant, Elaine Chu Hap, owner of Yalu grocery store which is adjacent to their establishment also complained that the suspect allegedly demanded P2,000 from them as payment for fire safety certificate and a fire extinguisher, but after receiving the money, failed to return. Charges of Usurpation of Authority and Falsification of Public Documents with NPS NO. XV-05 -INQ13D-0223 were filed against Obediencia. The Makati Fire Bureau renewed its warning to the public on fake fire safety inspectors It advised all building administrators to cooperate with the Makati Fire Bureau in its fight against con artists by transacting only to legitimate Fire Safety Inspectors.
Pasay Rescues 100 Street Kids

By JEAN FERNANDO
Amid a spate of reports of missing children in Metro Manila, the Pasay City police, in coordination with the local Department of Social Welfare Office (DSWO), reported that social workers rescued a total of 100 street children in various parts of the city. The rescue operation was made after the city government launched Oplan Kalabit Pahingi which is an operation by street children among motorists putting their lives in danger. On order of Mayor Antonino Calixto, Oplan Kalabit Pahingi, was launched
to free the city from street children roaming around the city who beg from motorists to earn money. The rescued 100 street children were documented by the social workers who joined the local police in the operation to determine how many children have been rescued and still continue to beg on the streets after their release. Parents of the rescued 100 children were given lectures by the social workers on the danger of begging on the streets and their violations of the city ordinance vis--vis the implementation of curfew hours among minors. The parents of rescued children were warned that their children will be placed under the custody of the DSWO while undergoing values formation if they continue to allow them to beg on the streets. The children will be turned over again to their parents once the city government found that they are responsible enough to take care of their children.

Philippines Cited For Green Accounting

By ELLALYN B. DE VERA
The Philippines has been chosen by the World Bank as one of the pilot countries and the only country in Asia
that will be implementing the green accounting of its natural resources. Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Ramon Paje announced the World Bank initiative after he attended a high-level min-
isterial meeting on natural capital accounting (NCA) or green accounting, organized by the international financial institution in Washington, D.C. last April 18. Together with Botswana, Colom-
bia, Costa Rica, and Madagascar, the Philippines will serve as an implementing partner for the Wealth Accounting and Valuation of Ecosystem Services (WAVES) project of the World Bank, Paje said.
WAVES is a global partnership that aims to promote sustainable development by ensuring that the national accounts used to measure and plan for economic growth include the value of natural resources.
Reach Out To All Affiliations

By LESLIE ANN G. AQUINO
Cagayan de Oro Archbishop Antonio Ledesma has urged candidates and voters in his archdiocese to be panpartisan in the May 13 midterm polls. This simply means that voters, and even candidates, must exercise panpartisanship, which means reaching out to all political affiliations. In his pastoral letter, the 70-yearold prelate said to be pan-partisan also means (1) to be against vote selling and vote buying; (2) against political dynasties; and (3) to care for the environment. Earlier, the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro had launched the Our Votes are Not for Sale campaign, which Ledesma said is a direct call to all traditional politicians (trapos) against the practice of rampant vote-buying. More profoundly, vote-buying as well as vote-selling are offenses against the dignity of the voter himself who exchanges his reasoning and freedom for a fleeting sum of money, he said in an article posted on the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) website. As to the issue of political dynasties, Ledesma has this to say: As monopolies in business, monopolies in politics limit the entry that can bring in new ideas and better services. political dynasties breed corruption and ineptitude, he said. A related advocacy is the campaign against pork barrel allocations which impels political dynasties to expand to control the largesse of public funds. added Ledesma. When it comes to the issue of the care and conservation of the environment, the prelate urged everyone not to forget the lessons of Tropical Storm Washi (Sendong), which devastated the city on December 16, 2011. Typhoon Sendong has taught us the bitter lessons from the wanton degradation of our watershed areas surrounding Cagayan de Oro River and other tributaries. The continued bleeding of Iponan River from hydraulic flush mining also has to be stopped. The rehabilitation and protection of our environment should be a pan-partisan concern of all candidates for public office, said Ledesma. Aside from being pan-partisan, the prelate also reminded voters to choose candidates with the five Cs that they be men and women of Character, Conscience, Competence, Compassion, and Commitment as well as candidates who are maka-Diyos, maka-Tao, maka-Buhay, maka-Bayan, and makaKalikasan.

Local seismologists registered the quake at magnitude 7.0 while the US Geological Survey gave it as 6.6. More than 260 aftershocks followed, the Peoples Daily said on its website. The shaking was felt in the provincial capital Chengdu, which lies to the east, and even in the megacity of Chongqing several hundred kilometres away. Panicked residents fled into the streets, some of them still in their slippers and pyjamas. Members of my family were woken up. They were lying in bed when the strong shaking began and the wardrobes began shaking strongly, said a 43-year-old Chongqing resident surnamed Wang. We grabbed our clothes and ran outside. About 6,000 soldiers and police were heading to the area to help rescue work, the Xinhua news agency said. Some had to contend with roads blocked by debris, CCTV reported, while one military vehicle carrying 17 troops plummeted over a cliff, killing one soldier and injuring seven others, Xinhua said. There are mountains on all sides, it is very easy to trigger mudslides and very dangerous, one user wrote on Sina Weibo, Chinas version of Twitter. The disaster evoked comparisons to the 2008 Sichuan quake, the countrys worst in decades, and President Xi Jinping ordered all out efforts to minimize casualties, Xinhua said. Premier Li Keqiang arrived in Sichuan in the afternoon and was taking a helicopter to the quake zone. The current most urgent issue is grasping the first 24 hours since the quakes occurrence, the golden time for saving lives, he was quoted as saying. Amid the rescue efforts, a 30-yearold pregnant woman surnamed Zhao was pulled out of the rubble along with a young child and sent to hospital for treatment, the Peoples Daily said on its Weibo account. A local TV journalist due to get married on Saturday turned up instead for work and a photograph of her reporting on the disaster in her wedding dress with bright makeup and a corsage was widely circulated on Weibo. Meanwhile Yaan residents were offering to donate badly needed blood, the Peoples Daily said. But volunteers outside the city were discouraged from flocking to Yaan to help with relief efforts, Xinhua said, to avoid blocking already busy phone lines and worsening road congestion. A fair amount of telecoms facilities have been damaged, it said. Three reservoirs in the area had shown cracks and people downstream were being relocated, a Sichuan government website said. Pandas at a reserve less than 50 kilometers from the epicentre were not harmed, Xinhua said, citing an employee. A Sina Weibo user posted a photo purportedly showing a badly damaged kindergarten in Lushan, its dark red stone slabs lying on the ground beside a row of trees. The authenticity of the photo could not be verified. Hang in there Yaan! the user wrote. Weibo users in other cities reported feeling tremors.

Party-list Groups Excluded From Survey

Party-list group 1st Kabagis said the March survey of the Social Weather Station (SWS) was not accurate because their group and 16 others were left out of the list. The groups that were excluded from the Pre-Election survey for Party-list were AAMA, AANI, ADING, 1-ABILIDAD, ANG PROFILE, UMALAB KA, AAMBIS-OWWA, ANG MINERO, ATM, AG, ALAGAD, AMA, ABP , KAP , 1JAMG, and ADAM which represent fisherfolk, urban workers, and indigenous people. According to 1st Kabagis officials, they questioned SWS Senior Communications and Survey Research Specialist Leo Laroza, who conducted the survey and he admitted that the oversight was a personal mistake. The SWS then made an addendum to their original survey report, dated April 17, saying that all 17 excluded party-list groups, garnered 0 percent of respondent votes. But 1st Kabagis Party-List believes that it is a case of covering a mistake with another mistake.
It is a simple case of honesty and accountability, said 1st Kabagis first nominee Miko Magsaysay in a statement. I trust and believe in the credibility of the Social Weather Station. I just hope that they would be more careful and responsible when it comes to issuing survey reports and faulty press statements because it can demoralize our leaders and members who are pouring out all their time, efforts, resources, and sacrifices, only to find out that we are not ranking in the survey, which we were not included to begin with, he added. Magsaysay said it creates a national impression that they are bottom-dwellers, where in fact, they were not given a fair chance to be included in the original list of those being surveyed. We are not claiming to be among those with high ranks, but it would be relevant for us to know our real and rightful ranking. he said. To make matters worse, when our Team Kabagis visited the SWS office to inquire about this situation, and plead for the acceptance of their mistake, the SWS already prepared
an addendum stating that the 17 party-list groups originally not included from the list did not receive any vote from the respondents, just a day
after Mr. Leo Laroza, the surveyor, admitted that he made a personal mistake, Magsaysay added. 1st Kabagis Party-List is still
hopeful that the SWS will accept their oversight and undergo corrective measures in dealing with what they think was a faulty survey.
Make Each Day Earth Day

By MARIO B. CASAYURAN
Filipinos must face the issue and collectively share in preventing environmental degradation as the effects of climate change such as hot weather this summer are very real. Sen. Loren Legarda, chairperson of the Senate climate change committee, stressed this as the world celebrates Earth Day tomorrow. She then urged the citizenry to make each day an Earth day, stressing that taking action to protect the environment should not be limited to a day. It is not only the responsibility of government and concerned organizations to come up with policies and action plans in the fight against climate change and global warming. Individuals also have an equal obligation to protect Mother Earth and make this their daily mantra, she said. Legarda said people complain about the particularly hot weather this summer and of drought in certain provinces yet also of the frequent flooding and destructive typhoons in the rainy season but may have never asked why. Yu n g m g a maliliit na bagay na ginagawa natin gaya ng pagtapon ng basura kung saan saan; pag
putol ng kahoy; paggamit ng smokebelching na sasakyan at marami pang iba, lahat yan may masamang dulot sa ating kapaligiran at may epekto sa ating klima (The small things that we do such as throwing garbage anywhere we want to, indiscriminate cutting of trees, use of smoke-belching vehicles and others all contribute to the deterioration of the environment and changes of the climate), she said. It is long overdue for people to finally face the issue and collectively do their share in preventing further deterioration of the environment, she said.

New Venezuelan President Sworn In

CARACAS (AFP) - Nicolas Maduro was sworn in as president of Venezuela on Friday, in a ceremony replete with drama as he replaced the late Hugo Chavez and urged dialogue with the opposition to build a better country. To cheers in the National Assembly, Maduro dedicated his oath of office to the eternal memory of the supreme commander Chavez, who dominated this oil-rich South American country for 14 years until dying from cancer in March. But the new leaders speech was briefly disrupted when a man in a red shirt rushed onto the stage and roughly pushed Maduro aside to grab the microphone, a breach that led to national television coverage of the event being suspended. The intruder was removed from the stage and Maduro returned minutes later, clearly angry at the disruption. Security has absolutely failed. They could have shot me here, he said, but shaking it off, then declared: Incident overcome. Maduro, 50, said in his address that he wanted to begin his presidency with a call to all Venezuelan men and women to continue to build a better fatherland of peace, an inclusive fatherland for everyone, by everyone. He urged the opposition to converse in the different settings where conversations can be held. I am ready to converse even with the devil. But he then resumed his attacks on those same foes, highlighting what has been a week of soaring political tensions since he was declared the winner of Sundays snap elections by a narrow margin of 1.8 percentage points. Looking on were foreign leaders, lawmakers and other dignitaries who packed the assembly chamber for the swearing-in. Close allies Presidents Raul Castro of Cuba and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran were in the audience, along with the presidents of Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia, Peru, Nicaragua, and neighboring Colombia. Maduro had met the night before in Lima with regional leaders who extended their congratulations to the new government and urged all sides in the bitterly contested elections to accept the official results. The endorsement came just hours after Venezuelan election authorities announced they would conduct an expanded audit of Sundays ballot returns in response to opposition demands for a full recount. Opposition candidate Henrique Capriles immediately accepted, congratulating his followers on their struggle for the truth. Violent post-election protests left eight people dead and dozens hurt, igniting a crisis as Maduro and Capriles traded fiery accusations over who was to blame. For Maduro, the election was the culmination of a political career that took him from one-time bus driver and union organizer to Chavezs handpicked successor. I am the first post-Chavez president in history, Maduro said on the eve of his swearing-in. The new first lady, Cilia Flores, is a heavyweight in her own right in the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela.

BOAO FORUM
(LAST OF TWO PARTS) By FIDEL V. RAMOS Former Philippine President
On international and regional hotspot issues, China will continue to play a constructive role, adhere to peace, facilitate talks, and make unremitting efforts to properly handle relevant issues through dialogue and negotiations President Xi Jinping, Boao Fo r u m f o r Asia, 7 April 2013 R E S I DENT Xi Jinpings acceptance of the role of main speaker last 7 April at the Opening Plenary of the 2013 BFA Annual Conference was unprecedented in the sense that Chinas Presidents would normally be preceded by the #2, #3, or #4 top state official (as in previous years). However, it was evident that President Xi wanted his message of restructuring, recovery, cooperation, stability, and peace to be heard by a worldwide audience of state leaders, decision-makers, and other VIPs. Three days before, he had successively received in Beijings Great Hall of the People several Heads of State/Government (the first ruler given such an honor by the new Chinese President being H.M., Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei Darussalam -- who is ASEAN Chairman for 2013). All of the HoS/Gs who visited Beijing also spoke at the BFA Opening where they reported with gusto on their respective nations interests, progress, outreach and future strategies. At Boao, President Xi repeated his message given to the Chinese people last 14 March at the National Peoples Congress: Our country has to strive to achieve the Chinese dream of the great renaissance of the Chinese nation (founded 5,000 years ago in the Yellow River Valley by Emperor Shi Huangdi). The 2013 BFA Annual Conference gathered more than 2,000 delegates and provided the backdrop for President Xis first major speech before an international audience in the Asia-Pacific region. Chinas Vision of Harmonious Co-Existence President Xi outlined a vision of harmonious cooperation and peaceful co-existence among the members of the global community. At the BFA Opening Plenary, he emphasized: China will continue to properly handle differences and frictions with the relevant countries.... On international and regional hotspot issues, China will play a constructive role, adhere to peace, facilitate talks, and make unremitting efforts to properly handle relevant issues through dialogue and negotiations.

and the 50th Anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council. The annual event encourages the faithful to exert conscious efforts to place importance on vocations to the priesthood and the consecrated life, to place this at the center of spiri-
tuality, prayer, and pastoral action. Pope Benedict said vocations to the priesthood and the consecrated life are born out of the experience of a personal encounter with Christ, from a sincere and confident dialogue with Him, in order to be able to grasp and follow His will. He urges the faithful to grow in the experience of faith, to have an inner attentiveness to the voice of Jesus,

GOOD SHEPHERD
JOHN 10:27-30
ESUS said, My sheep hear My voice; I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No one can take them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all, and no one can take them out of the Fathers hand. The Father and I are one. REFLECTIONS My sheep hear my voice. Today is Good Shepherd Sunday.
Jesus describes three qualities of His sheep: (1) they hear His voice, (2) Jesus knows them, and (3) they follow Jesus. There are many siren-like voices that call out to Christs sheep. They compete for attention in the mar-
ketplace, in the public arena, in the mass media. In this cacophony of voices, Jesus calls out to His sheep. They hear Him. Are you among those who hear Jesus today? Do you hear Him in the depths of your conscience, in the events of the day, in the pages of the Bible, and in the teachings of the Church? Jesus knows, that is, He loves

DOUBTS ON MASS ATTENDANCE SURVEY

By FR. BEL R. SAN LUIS, SVD
ECENTLY the Social Weather Stations (SWS) revealed its survey result that the Filipino Catholics going to church every Sunday had gone down from 64 percent to 37 percent. *** The Catholic bishops quickly reacted, saying that the survey was not true. Some bishops even opined that the result might have been manipulated in order to silence the
church leaders for being vocal against certain policies of the administration, like the RH bill. *** On the contrary, Catholic prelates said, the number of churchgoers is even increasing. Jaro Archbishop Angel Lagdameo said: The nine
masses in Jaro Cathedral are still filled to capacity. Priests maintain their masses in center and barrios. *** The same is true in the Diocese of Marbel in South Cotabato and the Diocese of Cubao. In the 26 parishes in Marbel, attendance is up. I have visited 17 parishes and the findings also show vibrancy, said Marbel Bishop Dinualdo

More Vital Than Ever
ENERGY INSECURITY
By SEN. EDGARDO J. ANGARA
SIA is predicted to emerge as the global economic powerhouse by 2050, hence the coming era is hailed the Asian century. But it is a prospect mired in energy insecurity. The Asian Development Bank, in its flagship annual report Asian Development Outlook, has sounded the alarm this early. By then, Asia will account for more than half of the worlds gross domestic product and much of global en-
ergy use. By 2035 alone, Asia could be consuming 51 percent to 56 percent of the worlds energy production from just one-third in 2010, putting into question Asias capability to engineer economically and environmentally sustainable growth.
Energy use, of course, fuels economic growth. Massive fossil fuel use accelerated industrialization and brought on the climate problem. The developing world is now under immense pressure to continue growing without exacerbating climate change. That is obviously a tall order. ADB estimates that though renewable energy use will rise, its contribution

SUMMER CUT
By DR. JOSE S. PUJALTE JR.
In Christ Jesus, neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision: but faith that worketh by charity. Galatians 5:6, the Holy Bible TS summer and yes, its that time of year for the unkindest cut, at least if youre an uncircumcised boy of 10 or 11 (or 24). Circumcision in the Philippines is much more of a ritual and a cul-
tural habit than anything else. Medical studies report different results and give conflicting recommendations. And even if your little boy ends up walking slowly with legs apart this summer, it doesnt hurt to open the mind in a discussion of this minor operation.
Circumcision is Ancient. In the Jewish tradition, circumcision (brit milah) is performed by the mohel or circumciser on the 8th day after birth. In the Muslim faith, the Quran does not mention circumcision but it is regarded as a tradition. Some Islamic theologians even insist that Mohammad and other prophets were born circumcised. Important Islamic practices like conversion, the

HAVE a friend named John who refuses to eat meat and rice. He had vowed to eat only vegetable, fish, and fruits. As often as he can, he eats these raw. He has maintained this rigid dietary regimen for the past 20 years. He boasts that all his vital signs are normal. To firm his muscles, he spends a lot of time in gyms while he gobbles dozens of vitamins and health supplements. He told me condescendingly: If you want to live long, start changing your diet and exercise regularly. I told John about another friend, Carlos, who had maintained the same dietary course that he follows, and who had engaged in very rigid forms of exercise to keep healthy. But Carlos died at the age of 35. Really? asked John in disbelief. How could a health buff like me die at that early age? I replied: While jogging, he was run over by a speeding car. John got the message. No matter how passionate we are in trying to live healthy, we are helpless when confronted with unforeseen events. Life is full of things that are out of control and wildly dangerous. The trouble with fanatic health buffs is, they waste their precious time and fortune trying to maintain their robust body and youthful appearance as though its the sole purpose of living. A 60-year-old person who is obsessed with maintaining a wrinkle-free face is delusional. You cant fight gravity. I remember attending the wake of a socialite who died at the age of 82. She had spent a fortune trying to maintain her beautiful face. She had travelled abroad many times for various facial treatments to remove the signs of aging. As her acquaintances lined up before the coffin to bid her their last good-bye, I overheard one woman say: She looks much more beautiful now than when I met her ten years ago. To which her companion retorted, with a tinge of envy: Yes, we grew up together, but I can hardly recognize her now. She looks much prettier now. If she could only speak to her friends, perhaps the dead lady would say: Stop insulting me. Do you mean to say I look younger and prettier now that I am dead, than when I was alive? Isnt it tragic? She actually wasted her life trying to become the most beautiful corpse her friends have seen. It is said that beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art. They have mastered the art of living by dying. They personify what W. H. Auden wrote: Life is the destiny we are bound to deny, until we have consented to die. For these people, it is life, not death, that comes without warning.

which can only be heard from deep within our persons. This process, which enables us to respond positively to Gods call, is possible in Christian communities where the faith is lived intensely, where generous witness is given of adherence to the Gospel, where there is a strong sense of mission which leads people to make the total gift of self for the Kingdom of God, nourished by recourse to the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist, and by a fervent life of prayer. He hopes that young people, especially, who are constantly preoccupied with so many superficial and ephemeral options will develop a desire for what is truly worthy, for lofty objectives, radical choices, service to others in imitation of Jesus. He exhorts the youth to be courageous to follow Jesus, to tread the path of charity and generous commitment, because in doing so they will experience what it is to happily serve, and witness a joy that nothing in this world can ever offer.

What effect does it have in your life to realize that Jesus knows and loves you Jesus who says that the Father and He are one? His sheep follow Jesus. We will be known to be real followers of Jesus if we love one another as He has loved us and if we keep His commandments. A newcomer in heaven is being given a tour of the heavenly mansions. He sees what look like tongues hanging from the ceiling. What are those? he asks his angel-guide. The angel answers, Those are the tongues of those who said they loved the Lord but did not obey His commands. Only their tongues reached heaven. Do you hear Jesus? Do you believe that Jesus knows and loves you? Do you follow him?

the universe. The discoveries, published online Thursday in the journal Science, mark a milestone in the search for planets where life could exist. In the four years that Kepler has been trailing Earths orbit, the telescope has found 122 exoplanets planets outside our solar system. In the past, those planets havent fit all the criteria that would make them right for life of any kind from microbes to man. Many planets arent in the habitable zone where its not too hot and not too cold for liquid water. And until now, the few found in that ideal zone, were just too big. Those are likely to be gas balls like Neptune and thats not suitable for life. Similarly, any Earth-size planets werent in the right place near their stars, Borucki said. In the Goldilocks game of looking for other planets like ours, the new discoveries, called Kepler-62-e and Kepler-62-f are just right. And they are fraternal twins. They circle the same star, an orange dwarf, and are next to each other closer together than Earth and its neighbor Mars. The planets are slightly wider than Earth, but not too big. Kepler-62-e is a bit balmy, like a Hawaiian world and Kepler-62-f is a bit frosty, more Alaskan, Borucki said. The pair is 1,200 light-years away; a light-year is almost 6 trillion miles. This is the first one where Im thinking Huh, Kepler-62-f really might have life on it, said study co-author David Charbonneau of Harvard. This is a very important barrier thats been crossed. Why wouldnt it have life? To make it warm enough for life the planet would need greenhouse gas trapping its stars heat because the star only gives off one-fifth the energy of our sun, but thats something that is likely to happen, Borucki said. Both planets are tantalizing. The dozens of researchers who co-authored the study disagree on which one is better suited to life. Lisa Kaltenegger of the Max Planck Institute of Astronomy in Germany likes Kepler-62-e more because its closer to the star and is warmer. She said it is probably like Washington in May. That planet is so close it may need clouds to cool off and its more likely to be an all-water world, unlike any other in our solar system, Kaltenegger said. Astronomers cannot confirm that either planet has water, but based on other research, its a good assumption, she said. The planets circle a star that is 7 billion years old about 2.5 billion years older than our sun. Kepler spots the planets as they go between Earth and their star ever so slightly, reducing the light from the star. If theres life at all on those planets, it must be very advanced evolutionarily because the planets are so old, said Borucki. On a watery planet, oceans are prime spots for life, including flying fish that could evolve into birds, Borucki said. And on the rocky planet, with a heavier gravity than Earth, life might look a tad different, he said.

SAN LUIS...
Gutierrez. pilgrimage to Mecca, and even prayer require circumcision. What does the Catholic Church say about circumcision? As far back as 1422 A.D., in the time of Pope Eugene IV, the document Cantate Domino states: it strictly orders all who glory in the name Christian not to practice circumcision either before or after baptism, since whether or not they place their hope in it, it cannot possibly be observed without loss of eternal salvation. (Ill see you in Hell). What is Circumcision? Techniquewise, circumcision is the surgical removal or permanent retraction of the skin hood that covers the tip of the penis (the prepuce). The preferred cut locally is one slit down the middle of the prepuce followed by retraction of the skin. Thus, the head of the penis (glans) is exposed. Most doctors do not trim any of the precious sensitive skin. Rather they suture it pulled back giving the penis the appearance of an agitated cobra. The procedure itself takes less than 30 minutes which starts with the infiltration of a local anesthetic. Other than the tremendous anxiety, this appears to be the most painful part of the operation. Benefits and Risks. The benefits of circumcision (aside from no guffaws and snide remarks from the classmate in the adjacent urinal) are: May decrease risk of penile cancer in adults. May prevent inflammation or infection of the foreskin. May decrease risk of urinary tract infection (UTI). May decrease risk of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Social acceptance in cultures that value circumcision. As a procedure (however minor), circumcision can still result in infection, uncontrolled bleeding, or a surgical error such as too much or too little prepuce removed. Adult Circumcision. For those who still want to be circumcised past puberty, it is best to see a urologist, the surgical expert in the genitourinary system. However, circumcision may actually reduce sensitivity and consequently, sexual pleasure with the reduction of penile skin. The benefits of circumcision particularly cancer, UTI, and STD risk decrease should be guiding reasons. Care of the Uncircumcised Penis. Hygiene for the foreskin and glans penis is a concern for the uncircumcised. The foreskin must be retracted and the glans cleaned with soap and water. Otherwise, clumps of white to yellowish crud called smegma build up. Shed dead skin cells and dirt accumulate as smegma and must be removed regularly to avoid the risk of infection and foul smelling genitalia. In the end, for most Filipino males, circumcision is a rite of passage. This is one reason, I think, that most parents delay the inevitable until such a time when pain is not only felt but more importantly, remembered. In primitive cultures, manhood was earned. In modern society, the transition to adolescence lacks the drama and consequently, the assignment of value that it richly deserves. Like the first menstruation, circumcision has a psychic need to fill even if it means a red and swollen penis to prove it. E-mail: jspujalte@yahoo.com *** In the diocese I do not see this observation. In fact, the number of churchgoers has increased because we have mall masses, Cubao Bishop Honesto Ongtioco said. Bishop Arturo Bastes of Sorsogon and Msgr. Clemente Ignacio, Quiapo Church rector, also noted that Mass attendance has increased. *** I am involved in the Marriage Encounter apostolate and for me, Mass attendance has increased considerably because of the numerous Catholic charismatic and renewal communities. Indifferent and lukewarm Catholics have returned to the church and their faiths are much stronger now. *** In the forefront of these renewal movements are the El Shaddai, Couples for Christ, Marriage Encounter, Loved Flock, all of which have numerous communities and chapters locally and internationally. Its surprising, therefore, that the SWS comes out with a negative result of the churchs Mass attendance in the Philippines. *** RELIGIOUS VOCATIONS. In his book Millenium Stories, Fr. Frank Mihalic, SVD cites a small town called Lu that has given 10% of its population to the priesthood and religious life. *** Lu, situated 50 kilometers from the auto manufacturing city of Turin, has never had more than 3,000 inhabitants. But over 100 years it has produced 323 vocations: 152 diocesan and religious priests and 171 Sisters. *** Whats the secret of Lus wealth of vocations? Fr. Mihalic writes: Since 1881 it has been the custom started by the parish priest then, Msgr. Allesandro Canora, of having the parishioners, specially the women, to gather in church every Tuesday to pray for vocations. *** Today is World Prayer Sunday for religious vocations. We may not emulate what the parishioners of Lu do every Tuesday but our schools and religious organizations could do a similar activity. *** THE LIGHTER SIDE. A church dropout suddenly began attending Sunday Mass. The parish priest was highly gratified and asked him, How nice to see you at Mass with your good wife! May I know why youre doing it now? Well, Father, said the parishioner, Id rather hear your sermon than hers. *** Commentator reads Mass intention: For the early repose of Mr. Pacheco (Poor Mr. Pacheco. He meant: early recovery!).

to Asias energy mix will pale by comparison to the demand for nonrenewables. Coal demand will rise by 81 percent, oil use will double, while natural gas use will treble and therein lies the risks. While Asia has proven coal and natural gas store 35 percent and 16 percent of global reserves respectively it only has 9 percent of world crude oil supply, necessitating massive importation mainly from the Middle East. This exposes the region to supply chain disruptions and price volatility. For instance, we source about 80 percent of our oil needs from the Middle East. At the height of the Arab Spring, we saw how local pump prices skyrocketed week after week and stoked public outcry. An increase in fuel prices translates into an increase in food prices. And the high cost of food is a politically sensitive issue in our country because the bottom 80 percent the population allots 60 percent of their expenditures on food half of which goes to buying rice alone. ADB sees most Asian countries, including ours, achieving minimal energy self-sufficiency by 2035. We are, in fact, ranked toward the bottom of the index, ahead only of city-state Singapore in Southeast Asia. Among 35 economies in the region, only Brunei, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan are expected to fully satisfy their energy needs through indigenous sources. More alarming is ADBs projection showing the share of renewable sources in the Philippines energy mix
shrinking from 43 percent at present to just 14 percent over the next two decades, by which time our coal and gas reserves will be depleted. This only indicates the bureaucracys lack of vision in not helping the local renewable industry mature fast enough to meet the impending surge in demand. This is a pity because our untapped clean energy potential is vast, about 150 gigawatts according to the Department of Energy. A mapping study generated by the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory shows that about 8 percent of our land area have good to excellent wind resource which could support at least 76,000 megawatts of potential installed capacity. This could translate to 195 billion kilowatthours of electricity per year. Our solar resource is also the most promising in Asia. Our capacity factor the ratio of actual output to theoretical output for fixed and tracking photo voltaic installations range from 18 percent to almost 24 percent. Geothermal and hydropower remain our biggest renewable energy resources, contributing 17 percent and 10.5 percent respectively of our power supply. I recall that back in the 1970s, the Middle East oil crisis compelled us to look for an alternative source of energy. That alternative was geothermal, a novel, groundbreaking energy source that has since made us number two in production, next only to the United States. Mindanao is a microcosmic exam-
ple of how energy insecurity threatens economic growth. Forecasts show that annual average demand growth in Mindanao from 2010 to 2019 is 4.28 percent, higher than the national rate of 3.63 percent. However, Mindanaos dependable capacity of 1,616 megawatts (MW) is 112 MW short of its needs. Here is a region brimming with agribusiness, tourism, and trade potential but crippled by a power crisis. We also must capitalize on being the clean energy pioneer in Southeast Asia in light of the creation of one ASEAN economic community beginning 2015. We can become a net exporter of renewable electricity, having the largest reservoir of potential in the region. The regional energy market remains highly fragmented, however, which should drive us to lead in securing cross-border interconnectivity. We already have a Renewable Energy law widely considered one of the best pieces of clean energy legislation in the whole of Asia that provides a framework for the development of a national industry and a climate change solution. Unfortunately, its full implementation has been hobbled by bureaucratic inefficiency. Political will once enabled us to power through overwhelming odds and skepticism to harness our geothermal potential. Political will can also put us on the path of sustainable energy use.

4 Buried Alive In Landfill

By NEL B. ANDRADE
RODRIGUEZ, Rizal Rescuers continue to search for four missing persons believed buried in garbage at a landfill in Barangay San Isidro, here, since Friday afternoon. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said rescue operations for the victims resumed at 5 a.m. yesterday after being halted overnight. Police identified the missing from the trash slide at 3:45 p.m. on Friday
as Gary Balahibo, Pablito Esto, Eddie Malano, and Rodivico Olod, all employees of the operator of the landfill. The employees were conducting clearing operations for draining water in the area. This may have contributed to the accident, said Office of Civil Defense (OCD) Spokesman Fred Bragas. He said a team from the Armys 202nd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division (2ID) was sent to the area to provide assistance in the search and rescue operation.
The Rodriguez municipal government was also dealing with security issues as relatives of those missing have blocked off the area to prevent the entry of dump trucks that may cause further sliding of trash that would hamper rescue efforts. At least six backhoes and 10 garbage trucks involved in the rescue operations were at the dumpsite, operated by the International Solid Waste Integrated Management Specialist Incorporated.

Bataoil Denies Illegal Detention Story

By LIEZLE BASA IIGO
OLONGAPO CITY, Zambales Unemployed laborers of this city have a reason to be happy with the recent privatization of the former state-run Public Utility Department (PUD), now known the Olongapo Electricity Distribution Co. Inc (OEDC), according to OEDC president Jose Abaya. In an interview, Abaya said the newly privatized OEDC needs to fill in the vacancies in its technical and utility departments, adding 70 percent of those it will hire are from the city. We are giving priority to our workers here to help them and the city grow. The rest can come from other areas in Central Luzon as long as they are fit for the job, he said. The recent modernization of the citys power supply is expected to minimize, if not stop, the problems of brownout in this city. He assured that the new system is
efficient and reliable and will provide the much-needed changes in the distribution system of Olongapo. We are implementing the rehabilitation program on a staggered basis because we do not want to overly inconvenience our customers, he said. Currently, he said the OEDC is re-metering over 40,000 registered household and replacing the decrepit parts of the power network, including increasing the capacity of its substations and power delivery systems to establishment and households. In addition, he said the OEDC has embarked on an information campaign to educate each household and swiftly disseminate reports about power interruptions in the city. Starting next month, Abaya said the OEDC will embark on CSR (corporate social responsibility) programs to ensure reliabe and longterm stable power supply.

SAN JOSE, Antique (PIA) The National Council for Childrens Television (NCCT) has scheduled a Consultative Forum on Childrens TV Standards on April 22 at the EBJ Gymnasium here to discuss Republic Act (RA) 8370 or the Childrens Television Act of 1997. RA 8370 is a law both timely and necessary, considering that the Philippines is a country with over 35 million children who could be affected by the kind of TV programs they watch. Said Forum will be the first of such public consultations in the country to prepare key stakeholders about the implementation of the landmark legislation. A pressing issue in the discussion of the Act is the vague definition of child-friendly. In connection, the NCCT has devised an appropriate Childrens TV Standards.

MILITARY OUTREACH
SIPALAY CITY, Negros Occ. (PIA) A summer outreach program was recently conducted at Sitio Bocana, Brgy. Nauhang, this city by the Charlie Company of the 605 Community Defense Center. The activity, benefiting some 50 children, included a feeding program, book reading and story telling. Such outreach program, to go on through the summer period, aims to complement the mission of both civil and military authorities in Negros Occidental to win peace, not through conventional war, but through projects and bayanihan (community) activities.
CEBU CITY, Cebu President Benigno C. Aquino III Friday night made a commitment before at least 13,000 Cebuanos gathered at the Capitol grounds that the classrooms backlog as well as rice shortage in the country will be solved by yearend. Aquino, who attended three activities in Cebu last Friday, told those who were present at the Liberal Party rally in Cebu City that the Department of Education has given him assurance that the classrooms shortage problem around the country, specifically in Cebu, will be eradicated within 2013. He said that when he assumed office in 2010, there had been a shortage of 66,800 classrooms nationwide. His budget, however, allowed him to build only 8,000 classrooms a year or
48,000 classrooms during his entire six-year term. He vowed to eliminate the shortage this year, his third year in office. He noted that his predecessor, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, had failed to address the problem in all of her nine years in office. Aquino also noted that the shifting of classes among grade school children in public schools is very alarming. Shifting of classes is observed due to the lack of classrooms, he noted. Alam ko po nagshi-shifting ang factory, hindi eskwelahan (I am aware of work shifts in factories, but not in schools), said Aquino, adding that grade school children who go to public schools that have two to three shifting batches would not learn well since most students are tired from such shifting schedules. Paano matututo kung palag-
ing puyat? Ang iba nga sa ilalim ng puno-an nag aaral, eh pano yan may illegal loggers pa (How can the children learn well if they are constantly tired? For lack of classrooms, children study under the shade of trees; how is that, when there is even a lack of trees because of illegal loggers)? lamented the President. Regarding the rice shortage problem, Aquino said the country will no longer import rice by the end of 2013. He said Department of Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala had told him that there will even be a rice surplus within 2013 as the department aims to increase rice production to 21.11 million tons this year. Total rice production in 2010 was only 15.77 million tons, three percent lower than in 2009 due to the drought caused by the El Nio phenomenon.
CEBU CITY, Cebu Commission on Elections (Comelec) Chairman Sixto Brillantes cannot just yet change his career plans and ask for a diplomatic post because he must first be able to ensure credible, honest and transparent elections, Team PNoy senatorial bets said. Re-electionist Sen. Francis Chiz Escudero, for instance, urged the poll chief to ensure that the May 13 elections must be smooth and credible before a aiming for an ambassadorship overseas. Para sa akin dapat tapusin niya kung ano sinimulan niya. Malapit na ang eleksyon, tapusin na sana niya yun bago siya mag isip ng bagong career (For me, Brilliantes must first finish what he started. It will soon be election day, he should first be done with that before thinking of having a new career at the present time), he told reporters during the sidelines of the Team PNoy campaign sortie here last Friday night at the Capitol Grounds which saw the administration senatorial bets wooing Cebus 2.5 million registered voters.

Iloilo Coal Plant Expansion Set

By TARA YAP
N.A.P.C. ACTIVITY
BORONGAN CITY, Eastern Samar (PIA) The Office of the Presidents National AntiPoverty Commission (NAPC) held a two-day workshop here at the Governors Conference Hall, Capitol Building with focus on multi-stakeholders in mainstreaming the poor especially the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) beneficiaries to commercial value chain of coconut and other high value agricultural products in Eastern Samar.
ILOILO CITY, Iloilo The 150megawatt (MW) expansion of a coal-fired power plant in Iloilo City is intended to address the projected power needs of the entire Visayas grid by 2016. This (said power plant expansion) is primarily for the needs of Panay and Guimaras Islands, but we can supply the rest of the Visayas, said Arthur Aguilar, president of Global Business Power Corp. (GBPC). GBPCs subsidiary Panay Energy
Development Corp. (PEDC) currently operates the 164-MW coal-fired power plant and will construct a 150-MW unit adjacent to its current site. By 2016, Panay and Guimaras Islands are projected to need an additional 50 MWs while another 50 MWs is also needed by Negros Island. In terms of energy planning, you have to be one or two years ahead of the market, Aguilar emphasized, citing GBPCs initiative to provide the necessary power supply for the islands of Panay, Guimaras and Negros as well as the rest of the Visayas. The increase of demand is largely
due to ongoing socio-economic developments, especially in the construction of multi-billion infrastructure. We will build the capacity for Panay and Negros that is enough until 2020 and not only for 2016, emphasized Jaime Azurin, GBPC vice president for commercial business and development. GBPC is also building another 82MW coal-fired power plant in Toledo City, Cebu. Meanwhile, the PEDC signed a memorandum of agreement with the Panay-Guimaras Power Supply Consortium (PGPSC) last April 19.
HILONGOS, Leyte (PNA) Nongovernment organizations (NGOs) and youth groups here are calling for an immediate stop in sand and gravel quarrying activities along the Salug River which directly affects nine barangays here. They said quarrying in the river is affecting crop irrigation aside from adding to the such threat of calamity as floods and landslides. Hilongos Green and Kabataang Hilongosnon, both based here, joined affected barangay residents in a large peoples rally protesting massive quarrying activities being done along Salug River, the towns longest river with tributaries spanning along neighboring Hindang and Bato towns. Said rally was mounted last week as the Philippine Earth Justice Center, Inc. led in the filing of an environmental case against eight sand and gravel extraction permittees operating along the river.

Mindanaos Electric Power Problem Addressed

By MIKE U. CRISMUNDO
SAN FRANCISCO, Agusan del Sur Aiming to ease the worsening power problem in the countrys second largest island, the Aquino administration has offered financial assistance to all members of the Association of Mindanao Rural Electric Cooperatives (Amreco) through a National Electric Administration (NEA) a soft loan to be used for the purchase of modular generating sets at six percent interest annually. This offer was made during a re-
cent meeting spearheaded by the NEA with Mindanao electric cooperatives. The meeting was called by the NEA to discuss the worsening power shortage affecting nearly 20 million inhabitants in Southern Philippines and how such problem could be effectively addressed. Three options were presented to address the severe power problem affecting power electric cooperative users in Mindanao. According to Agusan del Sur Electric Cooperative Inc. (ASELCO) General Manager Emmanuel Galarse, the first option is for a cooperative to rent a diesel gener-
ating set at P1.4 million monthly. Another option is to purchase on its own a generating set estimated to cost P22 million per megawatt, while a third option is for the Department of Energy (DoE)s provision of a soft loan to an electric cooperative at a yearly six percent interest with a two-year grace period. Meaning, a cooperative will be given two years to pay the interest and subsequently, the cooperative could decide to push through with acquiring generator sets or return such equipment to government, Galarse said. On ASELCOs part, the latter
chose the third option. The modular generator set will be in place in August this year. Im sure the power deficiency will automatically go down from a monthly average of 10, 500 kilowatt from this month until July, to an average of 1,400 KW starting August to December, this year, the ASELCO officer said. Agusan del Sur, the largest and most populous area in the Caraga region (comprised of the provinces of Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur and Dinagat Islands), has a monthly power demand of 25, 770 KW.
WESCOM SUPPORT
ISABELA CITY, Basilan (PIA) Western Command chief, Maj. Gen. Rustico O. Guerrero has vowed to double security efforts in Palawan to help the province achieve its development goals. Guerrero, who replaced Lt. Gen. Juancho Sabban as WESCOM commander last April 1, said he will continue to focus on three major aspects of developmental support for Palawan ensuring territorial integrity of the areas under the commands jurisdiction, enhancing disaster response management, and strengthening partnerships with the civil groups with doubled military effort. He said these tasks are not new to him, having served as Philippine Marine Corps Commandant prior to his appointment as WESCOM chief and because he has been undertaking the same in other parts of the country where he was previously assigned.
LAKAW TA
OROQUIETA CITY, Misamis Occidental (PIA) Preparations are underway for the holding of Lakaw Ta Para sa Bata sa Tibuok Amihanang Mindanao, in Misamis Occidental on May 1. The activity is a simultaneous region-wide walk-for-a-cause for Northern Mindanaos working children, particularly aimed at raising funds for identified working children in the region, providing them with such school needs as uniforms and supplies.

Each station features an activity on how to sustain resources by using recycled and ecofriendly materials, like the hydroponics design that allows plants to be grown without using soil and mainly using mineral nutrient solutions in water. The reason why we wanted to put the Solar Revolution Pavilion here is that Rizal Park is also having green practices, such as [the use of] solar power. We want something that the public can see, yung pang-masa, said National Parks Development Committee (NPDC) Director Dr. Juliet Villegas, who also graced the event. Renowned British adventurer and environmentalist David Mayer de Rothschild, and South African green designer Stephen Lamb also took part in the inaugural, where volunteers demonstrated to the guests and parkgoers how to create the materials that compose the pavilion. Rothschild, famous for his polar expeditions, is the inventor of the Plastiki, a 60-foot raft made of 2,500 recycled plastic bottles that crossed the Pacific Ocean from San Francisco in the United States to Sydney in Australia. Plastiki was really just the first step. Ultimately, I want to challenge everyone to find new and sustainable ways to use our resources Rothschild said in the lunch press conference that followed at the historic landmark Manila Hotel.
Solar Pavilion Opens At Luneta

By JENNA CAMILLE E. ALCALA and PAOLO F. DE GUZMAN
A new twist on recycling is transforming Rizal Parks premises, as the Solar Revolution Pavilion, made of recycled plastic bottles and crates, opened and started lighting up the center of the historic landmark yesterday. Inaugurated in line with the launch of the Green Revolution campaign of non-profit organization MyShelter Foundation, the pavilion is the first of its kind in the country. We are excited to open the very first Solar Pavilion in the Philippines. [This year] 2013 is the 150th birth anniversary of Andres Bonifacio who began a revolution for freedom: the Solar Pavilion celebrates Bonifacio and symbolizes the birth of a new kind of revolution, social entrepreneur and MyShelter Foundation founder Illac Diaz said as he officially unveiled the pavilion by raising the Katipuneros sword. Creating sustainable solutions to help ourselves and others around the world shows how the Filipinos can do it: we can begin this revolution. The Solar Revolution Pavilion is a 200-square-meter green pavilion made of recycled plastic bottles and plastic crates, self-powered by wind and solar energy. The interior of the pavilion contains four stations: the Power, Shelter,

Lamb, on the other hand, collaborated with Diaz in 2004 for the Solar Pavilion in China and the Liter of Light project. Its my pleasure to be working again with Illac and it is wonderful
to see that this green initiative is being implemented here, as well. The Solar Pavilion is a great example of combining the needs of people and nature in simple ways and I hope to continue sharing
more design ideas to contribute to this campaign of positive change, Lamb said. The Liter of Light project began in 2010 and has lighted up 28,000 homes in the Philippines.
End Banking Secrecy, G20 Urges

By AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE
WA SHINGTON, D.C. The Group of 20 economic powers on Friday urged the global adoption of standards for sharing bank account information in an effort to fight tax evasion and curtail banking secrecy. The G20 said they strongly encourage all countries to sign on to a commitment to the automatic exchange of banking information which is expected to be the standard, in the groups strongest endorsement yet of a move that takes aim especially at tax havens. More needs to be done to address the issues of international tax
avoidance and evasion, in particular through tax havens, as well as noncooperative jurisdictions, the G20 said in a statement on the sidelines of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank spring meetings. The group urged all countries to accept the Multilateral Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters, a framework for the sharing of banking data. We welcome progress made towards automatic exchange of information which is expected to be the standard and urge all jurisdictions to move towards exchanging information automatically with their treaty partners, as appropriate. The move aims ultimately to have
banks automatically supply information to a country on the accounts of its nationals, in the way the US FATCA -- the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act -- requires information on Americans accounts abroad. A door toward the end of banking secrecy is open. It is something extremely important, French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici said late Thursday. There is an unstoppable movement toward a European FATCA he said, but that and the US effort need to be elevated to the level of the G20. Ollie Rehn, vice president of the European Commission, hailed the G20s offensive against banking secrecy.
Sultans Sibling Appeals To Malaysia

By EDD K. USMAN
Spare my son. Bantilan Sultan Esmail Kiram, 72, aired this appeal to the Malaysian government and the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (king) yesterday. He is a younger brother of Sultan Jamalul Kiram III of the Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo (SSNB). Bantilan Esmail told the Manila Bulletin he wanted to appeal to and seek assistance from the Philippine government to help his son, but he was reluctant. The Malaysian government on Friday formally charged his son Datu Amirbahar, accusing him of allegedly waging war against the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and being a member of a terrorist group. Bantilan Esmail asserted that his son had nothing to do with the Sabah standoff. He was referring to Rajah Muda Agbimuddin Kiram (younger brother both of Jamalul and Esmail), who sailed to Sabah with 235 members of the Royal Security Force (RSF) in February, staking their historical right over the territory.
Their presence sparked a threeweek standoff, which later resulted in a shooting war on March 1 and a massive offensive by the Malaysian military and police. My son was already in Semporna (Sabah) five months before the crown prince went to Sabah, he said. He said he is affected by what happened to his son. I am very sad. Every parent will feel the same, he said. He said he himself was in Sabah then with his son, I returned to TawiTawi on Jan. 15, he said. My son had been a frequent visitor in Sabah to look for livelihood opportunities. Maybe he was found because he did not return, Bantilan Esmail said. It could be recalled that Malaysian authorities arrested Datu Amirbahar, 50, and his wife Gina Teves Kiram, in a swampy area in Semporna on March 23. He was described as the military commander of the RSF. Authorities nabbed him after days of hunting him down. Datu Amirbahars uncle, Datu Alianapia, another brother of the sultan, is also being sought in Semporna, but has eluded Malaysias military and police security forces.

OFWs Restricted In Iraq Areas

The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) yesterday said four areas in Iraq remain restricted for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs). This is despite the lifting of the deployment ban in the war-torn country, Based on POEA Board Resolution No. 4 2013, the Philippines Iraq Joint Commission Meeting (JCM) has already identified the four areas to be considered as no-go zones. The POEA Board resolves to resume the processing and deployment
of returning workers or rehires bound for Iraq, except for areas identified as no-go zones, said the POEA in its resolution dated April 17. The no-go zones are the Anbar Province, Ninewah/Nineveh Province, Kirkuk Province (a.k.a. Tamim, Al Tamim, At-Tamim), and Salahuddin/Salahaddin Province. The POEA said the areas were identified in the 7th JCM meeting in Baghdad, Iraq on March 18 and 19 and was relayed by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) last April 12 to the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE). It can be recalled that a deployment ban had been imposed in Iraq since
December 2007 owing to the unstable peace and order situation there. But in February 6, the DFA had lowered the Crisis Alert Level in Iraq to Level 1. This had resulted to the lifting of the deployment ban in Iraq both for returning workers and new hires by the POEA last February 27. H o w e v e r, t h e P O E A B o a r d stressed in Resolution No. 3 2013 that the resumption of deployment for rehires shall only commence upon the identification of the no-go zones. On the other hand, deployment for new hires will still require the conclusion of a Bilateral Labor Agreement between Iraq and the Philippines.
Gunmen believed to be members of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) abducted yesterday morning in Sulu a 53-year-old man who turned out to be a cousin of a police general assigned in western part of Mindanao. Senior Supt. Antonio Freyra, director of the Sulu provincial police, said this was the second time that Reynato Yanga was kidnapped, the first was in 2005 wherein he did not allegedly cooperated with cops in terms of at least identifying his abductors. He owns a coffee shop in downtown Jolo where the incident occurred, said Freyra, adding that the incident happened around 5:30 a.m. in Barangay Walled City. While the incident occurred near the police station of Jolo, Freyra said there was a weather problem at the time of the incident as the area was then being pounded by heavy downpour. As soon as Yanga reportedly
opened the coffee shop, at least five armed men barged inside and took him at gunpoint. He was then boarded on a multicab before they the getaway car took off, leaving behind a motorcycle that was also used by the kidnapmen. The vehicle was later found abandoned in Barangay Asturias. We believe that this is a case of kidnap-for-ransom, said Freyra. Yanga is reportedly a cousin of Chief Supt. Mario Yanga, the deputy regional director for Administration, or the number two man of the Zamboanga Peninsula region.Freyra said pursuit operations headed by the elite Marine commandos have already been launched to safely recover the victim. Asked about the suspect, Freyra said they believe it was perpetrated by the Urban Terrorist Group of the Abu Sayyaf. Kidnapping-for-ransom is a common easy money racket in most part of central and western part of Mindanao.

Comelec Presents New Rules For 2013 Polls

The best way to cheat is through vote-buying, because they cant find ways to cheat in automated elections. Commission on Elections (Comelec) Planning Department Director Atty. Ferdinand Rafanan emphasized this in a seminar held yesterday in Mandaluyong City wherein he presented the new General Instructions (GI) on Republic Act 9369, the Poll Automation Law. The new GI, which covers the 2013 Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) on the law, includes the standard operating procedures for the Board of Election Inspectors (BEI) and the Board of Canvassers (BOC), regarding the conduct of the May 13, 2013 polls. Unlike manual elections, which are prone to fraud, automated elections make it practically impossible for unscrupulous political candidates and their operators to tamper with votes, leaving vote-buying as their most effective option to deceive their constituents, Rafanan said. The automated election system only guarantees us that the counting and canvassing are free from human intervention and intended or unintended errors of human beings, but the human elements, such as votebuying, will still be there, and votebuying constitutes greater problems in our electoral process, he said. Rafanan affirmed that nobody could alter the transmission of votes, as the original election returns are printed, then forwarded only to three servers: those assigned to the city/ municipal BOCs; to the dominant majority and minority political parties, and citizens arm organizations; and the central server. To help deter fraud, poll volunteers will be allowed to witness the proceedings at the BEI, take note of what they see or hear, and take photographs of the proceedings and incidents during voting and counting, printed election results, and other election paraphernalia, except ballots in possession of voters. They (voters) should be more concerned about the PCOS (Precinct Count Optical Scan) machine itself; they should not only learn how to cast their votes, how to shade, how to feed the ballot to the PCOS machine, but more than that, they should not sell their votes, he said. Rafanan likewise explained how all BOC members would conduct the counting and canvassing of the votes, and transmission of election results, from the municipal and provincial levels, to the national level. He said from May 13, 2013, until the proclamation of winners, they must not leave their respective assigned stations; otherwise, they can be charged with an election offense. Rafanan warned that BEI members who would be absent from their respective assignments on election day can be arrested by the police, for obstructing performance of their duties. The Comelec drew praise for coming up with comprehensive rules for this years midterm elections. The impact on that is a more organized election, more open and honest election, less irregularity, [and] less problems. It is a deterrent to those who are attempting to derail the elections for 2013, Center for Global Practices (www.cgbp.org) President Henry Aquende said.
No Tuition...
Comelec Liberal-ization...
other attempt by the administration party to ensure its influence in the Comelec as part of its obsession with the presidency in 2016. Tiangco said Parreos appointment is another glaring move by LP to place its associates in key positions within the Comelec, exposing the poll body to charges that it is losing its independence and is becoming a Liberal-ized institution. The opposition coalition also questioned the Parreos ties with LP President, Interior Secretary Manuel Mar Roxas II. We can clearly see the Liberalization of Comelec. Everyone knows that Parreo is another Mar Roxas guy. They got busted with the backdoor appointment of Macabangkit Lanto, and now have another guy to fulfill LPs agenda for 2016, Tiangco said. Lanto, a former representative of Lanao del Norte in Congress, had earlier declined his appointment as Comelec commissioner after it was discovered that he was involved in poll fraud in 2007. Tiangco said Parreo was appointed by Roxas in July 2012 at the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board, when he was still secretary of the Department of Transportation and Communication. The Palace is saying Parreo was not appointed because of his legal background, but mainly because of his experience in information technology (IT). So we have a Roxas loyalist as the Comelecs IT expert. With Grace Padaca around, LP has a strong leverage in the Comelec. This is LPs plan-B after Lanto, Tiangco said. But Malacaang said it will stand by the appointment of Parreo, belittling speculations on the alleged unconstitutionality of Parreos appointment. Deputy presidential spokesperson also challenged Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) law professor Rod Vera to file charges in court if he deems that Parreos ap-
pointment was unconstitutional. Obviously, we disagree with this person, Valte said. If this person feels that he believes that the appointment is unconstitutional, then the best thing to do is, apart from talking to media, is to file the necessary case, to challenge the appointment. Valte explained that while the 1987 Constitution mandates that majority of the Comelec commissioners should have 10 years of law experience, Parreo was tapped not only because he is a lawyer but because of his wide experience in information technology (IT). Parreo has a previous work experience as a project manager of several information technology projects. As a lawyer who passed the Bar examinations in 2004, he was a former consultant to the USAID Asia Foundation and former partner at the Diaz, Parreo and Caringal Law Firm. Parreo was also a board member of the LTFRB prior to his Comelec appointment. Kumbaga, nagkataon na abogado din si Atty. Parreo. If you look at his background, yung professional experience niya, talagang nasa field of IT [It just so happened that Parreo is also a lawyer but if you look at his background, his professional experience is really in the field of IT], Valte said. Bonus yung kanyang pagiging abogado [His being a lawyer is a bonus]. That was not the primary consideration why he was appointed to Comelec, she added. Valte explained that under the 1987 Constitution, majority of Comelecs commissioners should have at least 10 years of law experience. She said this already includes Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes, Christian Robert Lim, Lucenito Tagle, Elias Yusoph, and new Comelec commissioner Louie Tito Guia. That satisfies the minimum requirement that was set down by the Constitution. It does not prohibit the appointment beyond the majority, Valte said.
colleges (SUCs) have announced a tuition moratorium this coming school year. The Philippine Association of State Universities and Colleges (PASUC) through Resolution 001-2013 has approved the moratorium on undergraduate tuition and miscellaneous fee increases this June, saying it sympathizes with the economic plight of a great number of college students and their parents, and supports the moratorium on tuition fee increases for SY 2013-2014. A oneyear tuition moratorium has been recommended by PASUC to the 111 SUCs funded by the government. The officials of PASUC, led by President Ricardo Rotoras, signed the Resolution on April 5 as response
to the appeal made earlier by CHED Chairperson Patricia Licuanan to HEIs planning to increase tuition to proceed with caution and compassion saying this might not be a good time. As early as March, some 451 HEIs 95 in National Capital Region (NCR) applied for tuition hike averaging from five to 10 percent. According to CHED, Regional Offices (CHED-ROs) are still on the process of strictly evaluating the petition for tuition hike by HEIs, following the directive of Licuanan to ensure that all tuition and fees increase are justified before it is implemented. Meanwhile, Coordinating Council of Private Educational Associations (COCOPEA), with over 2,000-
member schools five major school associations in the country which include the Association of Christian Schools, Colleges, and Universities (ACSCU); Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines (CEAP); Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities (PACU); and Philippine Association of Private Schools, Colleges, and Universities (PAPSCU); and the Technical-Vocational School Associations of the Philippines (TEVSAPHIL), said that tuition moratorium is not possible for private HEIs. According to COCOPEA Legal Counsel Joseph Noel Estrada, unlike SUCs that are funded by the government, private HEIs rely heavily on tuition and fees from enrollment to sustain school operations and to enhance the quality of education it offers through improved school facilities and faculty.
Slain Boston...
from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI official declined to identify the country involved or the nature of the probe. A page on the VKontakte social media website, Russias equivalent to Facebook, says Dzhokhar went to elementary school in the Dagestani city of Makhachkala in southern Russia from 1999-2001. Dagestan borders the North Caucasus region of Chechnya, which has been ravaged by two back-to-back wars since 1994 between Russias army and increasingly Islamistleaning separatist rebels. The Tsarnaev family appears to have left the volatile Caucasus region, which still sees occasional fighting, during the wars and subsequently spent time in Central Asia. Were Muslims, were Chechens, were ethnic Chechens, Ruslan Tsarni, an uncle of the suspects, told US media. Somebody radicalized them, he said of his nephews. Its not my brother. Tsarni said his nephews arrived in the United States from Kyrgyzstan in 2003 and were given asylum, but he called them losers who could not integrate into American life. Asked why they might have turned to terrorism, he said: Hatred to those who were able to settle
themselves. These are the only reasons I can imagine. An online photo essay by Boston University student Johannes Hirn featuring Tamerlan entitled Will Box for Passport seems to suggest that he did have some trouble adapting to the United States. I dont have a single American friend, I dont understand them, Tamerlan is quoted as saying under one of several pictures of him boxing at the Wai Kru Mixed Martial Arts Center. The website says Tamerlan, who was studying engineering at Bunker Hill Community College, had taken a year off to train for the National Golden Gloves competition in Salt Lake City, Utah. On the website, Tamerlan is quoted as saying he aspires to be an Olympic boxer, but would rather compete for the United States than for Russia in the absence of an independent Chechnya. He is quoted as describing himself as very religious and saying, God said no alcohol. There are no values anymore, he is quoted as saying. People cant control themselves. But another caption says his favorite movie is Borat, and one picture shows him with a blonde woman whom he describes as his half-Italian, half-Portuguese girl-
friend, saying she converted to Islam. Shes beautiful, man! he says. A YouTube account in his name created on August 17, 2012 linked to videos of a radical Australian preacher, Feiz Mohammad, and had a playlist entitled terrorists, according to the Washington-based SITE Intelligence Group. SITE said the videos in the playlist had been removed, but a saved page indicates they were related to Dagestan militants. Dzhokhar, a baby-faced 19-yearold who was captured late Friday, was an all-star high school wrestler and a student at the University of Massachusetts whose Twitter feed @J_tsar resembles that of an average American teenager. Neighbors and friends interviewed by US television networks described him as hard-working and kind, expressing shock at his alleged involvement in Mondays bombings that killed three people and wounded over 180. He was a lovely, lovely kid, Larry Aaronson, a neighbor, told CNN when asked about Dzhokhar. You get people that say, Oh, I know him. Hes not capable of this. Thats what Im saying to you. I am just one of those people. Dzhokhars VKontakte page says he graduated in 2011 from Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, a public high school, identified Islam as his world view, and career and money as his main goals in life.
2nd Boston...
Tsarnaev was in serious condition at Beth Israel Deaconess hospital in Boston as the city celebrated his capture with street parties. Those festivities could so easily have been a new night of anguish for the Boston region, facing growing tension after the bombs left at the marathon finish line on Monday killed three people and injured about 180. Boston investigators had just held a press conference at which they virtually admitted that Tsarnaev had escaped when the lucky break came. Tsarnaev had already been wounded overnight in a gun battle with police in which his elder brother Tamerlan was killed. We know he didnt go straight to the boat, which was outside a security zone that had been painstakingly searched by thousands of heavily-armed officers, said Boston police chief Ed Davis. We found blood in the car that he abandoned, we found blood inside the
house behind the perimeter, he added. We had no indication that he had gotten outside of the perimeter. It was very chaotic. A man had gone out of his house after being inside the house all day because of a lockdown ordered by authorities, Davis explained to reporters after the dramatic capture. He saw blood on a boat in the backyard. He then opened the tarp on the top of the boat and he looked in and saw a man covered with blood. The man telephoned police and at the same time, a police helicopter used infra-red equipment to determine there was a human in the boat. We exchanged gunfire with the suspect who was inside the boat, and ultimately, the hostage rescue team of the FBI made an entry into the boat and removed the suspect who was still alive, Davis told a press conference. The negotiation team had tried to make Tsarnaev give himself up. Police teams also fired flash gre-
nades in a bid to stun the suspect into surrender. Tsarnaev was given first aid on the lawn next to the boat before being taken away in an ambulance. Noisy celebrations erupted on Franklin Street, where the standoff unfolded, and beyond after the arrest. There were also festivities around Boylston Street in central Boston scene of Mondays carnage. Lets Go Boston and USA, USA, crowds chanted, with some people climbing onto car roofs while others danced in the streets. Deeper Probe President Barack Obama pledged on Friday that the United States will find out whether the two ethnic Chechen brothers suspected of carrying out the Boston Marathon bombings received help, and he pleaded for Americans not to rush to judgment. Obama appeared in the White House briefing room after police arrested the lone surviving suspect in the Boston suburb of Watertown, ending a dramatic manhunt. Obviously tonight there are still many unanswered questions. Among
them: why did young men who grew up and studied here as part of our communities and country resort to such violence? How did they plan and carry out these attacks, and did they receive any help? Obama said. The successful conclusion of the manhunt allowed Obama to tout a major law enforcement achievement in response to the worst attack on US soil since the September 11, 2001, attacks. Questions remain, however, over the FBIs disclosure on Friday that it had interviewed one of the suspects in 2011 and found no evidence that he posed a security risk. The president, looking somber and gripping the podium, said Americans are in debt to the people of Boston and Massachusetts for their resilience in responding to the twin blasts that killed three people and injured 176 others on Monday and enduring a wrenching week. We will determine what happened. We will investigate any association that these terrorists may have had and will continue to do whatever we have to do to keep our people safe,
Obama said. Macabre Tweet Just hours after Mondays Boston Marathon bombings, Tsarnaev urged his followers on Twitter to stay safe people. Friends of Tsarnaev confirmed he was an active Twitter user, firing off messages under the handle @J_tsar. Aint no love in the heart of the city, stay safe people, he tweeted at 8:04 p.m. on Monday, just hours after Boston was rocked by twin explosions. It was one of a dozen messages he posted on the microblogging site in the hours and days after the tragedy. A tweet one week prior to the blasts may have offered cryptic hints at what was to come: If you have the knowledge and the inspiration all thats left is to take action, @J_tsar tweeted on April 8. Tat my name on you girl so i know its real oh and make sure to spell it right, its spelled Dzhokhar, he posted on May 5. His followers soared to more than 58,000 in the hours after he was named a prime suspect. (With a report from Reuters)

NADAL WINS
MONACO (AP) Rafael Nadal was pushed all the way by Grigor Dimitrov before winning his 45th straight match at the Monte Carlo Masters, reaching the semifinals with a 6-2, 2-6, 6-4 victory and staying on course for a rematch of last years final against Novak Djokovic. The top-ranked Djokovic had less of a struggle against Jarkko Nieminen, beating the Finnish veteran 6-4, 6-3 and getting through another test on his troublesome right ankle. Nadal is set to get another sharp test on Saturday, against sixth-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France, while Djokovic takes on the unseeded Fabio Fognini of Italy.

Resorts World Manila has inked a five-year agreement with the Asian Tour to title sponsor a $750,000 golf tournament that will be dubbed as the Resorts World Manila Masters. The inaugural staging will be held on Nov. 14 to 17 at the Manila Southwoods Golf and Country Club. Present in the announcement and launching yesterday at the Resorts World Manila were Resorts World Manila President Kingson Sian, Asian Tour Executive Chairman Kyi Hla Han, Resorts World Manila Chief Operating Officer Steve Reilly and Asian Tour Business Development Director Michael Bengston. Accompanying them were threetime Asian Tour winner Angelo Que and three-time Philippine Golf Tour
winner Miguel Tabuena. It is our privilege to host a worldclass golf championship in the Philippines that will showcase the professional game at the highest level in the country, said Reilly. As this is a five-year agreement, we have every desire to grow the Resorts World Manila Masters into a sporting extravaganza that will entertain golf fans and television viewers from around the world, he added. The tournament is expected to attract top stars from the Asian Tour like Que, Juvic Pagunsan and Frankie Mioza. Aside from the long-term partnership, the four-day inaugural staging will be aired live on the Asian Tours global television platform where it will reach over 200 countries and 650
million viewers. The partnership is also expected to boost the development of the sport in the country and across Asia with golf returning to the Olympic Games in 2016. We wanted not only to showcase our Filipino golfers, but we also wanted to show the Philippines as a top golfing destination in the region, said Han. I am sure the Resorts World Manila Masters will create a very positive and meaningful impact for the game in the Philippines and in XAsia. As all our tournaments offer Official World Golf Ranking points, the Resorts World Manila Masters will provide opportunities for players from the Philippines and Asia to play their way to the 2016 Olympics, he added.
DAVAO CITY Top world flyweight contender Milan Melindo took the dais at the Cotai Arena in Macau following his smashing showing two weeks ago and boasted that he is destined to become a world champion. Melindo (27-0 with 11 knockouts) spoke the language of confidence in the presence of newly crowned world flyweight king Juan Francisco Estrada of Mexico (25-2 with 18 knockouts), who had just beaten Brian Viloria on the very same ring Melindo mauled Indonesian Tommy Seran. I can beat him (Estrada), Melindo declared with Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum a few feet away from him. On July 27, Melindo gets the chance to back his bold words when he battles the 23-year-old Estrada in a show that will also be promoted by Arums Top Rank, Inc. ALA Boxing chief Michael Aldeguer, who manages Melindo, said theyve been notified about the fight by Top Rank. Aldeguer said Melindo, 25, was ecstatic when told about his impending title challenge, undaunted that he will be up against somebody who battered Viloria to a bloody pulp. Melindo, who stands 5-2, said he prefers to face a taller and gangling fighter like the 5-4 Estrada. He will be perfect for my counter combinations, said the Cagayan de Oro-born Melindo. Melindos title shot comes at a time when Philippine boxing is on a tailspin following the losses by Manny Pacquiao, Viloria and Nonito Donaire.

Tabuena Leads John Hay Cast

Teenager Miguel Tabuena signed up for the ICTSI Camp John Hay Championship unfolding Wednesday at the John Hay Golf Club in Baguio City, upbeat of his chances for a second straight win after a dominating performance in the kickoff leg of the ICTSI Philippine Golf Tour. Tabuena romped off with an eightshot victory in the ICTSI Sherwood Hills Classic last month and finished joint sixth in the recent Solaire Open at Wack Wack, making him the marked player in the upcoming P2.5 million event organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc. But he will be facing a slew of equally talented players, including Jay Bayron, Mars Pucay, Elmer Salvador and Artemio Murakami and fellow young turks Carl Santos-Ocampo, Charles Hong, Zanie Boy Gialon and Clyde Mondilla, making the chase for the top P450,000 purse wide open. With its tight fairways and unpredictable putting surface, the up-anddown par-69 layout is also expected to provide the touring pros a different kind of challenge as they vie for top honors in the event sponsored by International Container Terminal Services, Inc. Marvin Dumandan put on a strong finishing kick to beat Santos-Ocampo to rule the ICTSI John Hay Classic last year, which, however, was played through 54 holes with the PGTI now making it now a four-day championship, one of the eight P2.5 million events in this years 16-leg ICTSI PGT calendar. The other legs offering such top prizes are the ICTSI Orchard Golf Championship on May 22-25, the ADT Aboitiz Invitational in Cebu on July 24-27, the ICTSI Classic at Mt. Malarayat on July 31-Aug. 3, the ICTSI Manila Southwoods Championship on Sept. 4-7, the ICTSI Riviera Classic on Oct. 16-19, and the ICTSI Wack Wack Championship on Nov. 20-23.

Ateneo aims for an elimination round sweep of Group A when it battles La Salle-Dasmarias today in the 10th Shakeys V-League First Conference at The Arena in San Juan. The defending champion Lady Eagles, unbeaten in three matches, are the odds on favorites in their 4 p.m. duel against the Lady Patriots. Ateneo has so far dropped a single set in all its three matches. League top scorer Alyssa Valdez is expected to spearhead Ateneo with support coming from guest player Rachel Ann Daquis. La Salle, on the other hand, tries to bounce back from a straight-set loss to UST. In the other match, Arellano (2-1) seeks to make it three wins in a row against Adamson (1-1) at 2 p.m. A victory for the Lady Chiefs will assure them a second seat in Group B, while a win for the Lady Falcons would earn them a quarters ticket, joining Arellano and National University into the next round.

Everyone Is Chasing Miami Heat

MIAMI (AP) A year ago, the Miami Heat were chasing something. This time around, everyone is chasing them. And in simplest terms, thats the taproot of the philosophy Heat coach Erik Spoelstra began trying to instill in his team way back in September, even before the first practice of training camp. Only four franchises since 1969 only five in league history, period - have won back-to-back NBA championships, proof that successfully defending a title is much tougher than winning one in the first place. Such is the challenge the Heat will face starting Sunday, when they play host to the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 1 of an Eastern Conference first-round series. Its a small group to win back to back because you have to have that same resilience, Heat guard Dwyane Wade said. We had resilience last year in that no matter what happened, we were going to get through it. Some way, somehow, we were going to win that championship. Do we have that same resilience again? Thats the unknown. Finding that proverbial chip for their shoulders might be tougher than anything else the Heat have faced this season. They got their rings and then went out and posted the best record in the league, 66-16. They won 27 straight games along the way, won 40 times by double figures, then finished the regular season with an eight-game winning streak the longest current run in the NBA - despite being without Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh for many of those games. James missed time with a right hamstring strain, which he said provided him with a break that he didnt even know he needed. He even likened a few days without basketball to a few days without fiancee Savannah Brinson. When youre around it every day, every single day for the last 2 1/2 years, you need something to kind of make you miss it, love it again, James said. Its like being around your wife every day. You go on a road trip for a few days and you love her again and miss her so much when you see her. Im excited. This postseason, Im excited. I got an opportunity to be away from the game, not play it as much as Im accustomed to going down the stretch. I guess basketball is like Savannah in that case. James spent nine years chasing ring No. 1, a quest that could be best described as all-consuming. Now that he has a title, he sees no reason to change his playoff approach. Im going in with the same mindset as I had last year, trying to win it for the first time, James said. At this point everyones record is thrown out the window. Were all 0-0, all 16 teams, both conferences. So you know, we look forward to the challenge, man. Its going to be fun. Fun not exactly a word that the Heat said often at this time a year ago. Indiana had them on the ropes in the second round of the playoffs, they needed to win two elimination games to get past Boston and dropped Game 1 of the NBA Finals against Oklahoma City before winning the next four games and the title. Oddsmakers list the Heat as huge favorites in these playoffs. Phil Jackson, he of the 11 championship rings as a coach, tweeted on Friday that hes waiting to see who can challenge the Heat, and former NBA coach Flip Saunders said earlier this week that he doesnt see anyone challenging them.
however, is far from satisfied in his teams defensive effort against Petron, pointing to the Boosters 5239 edge in rebounds. The 7-footer Jordan, TNTs third team after Keith Benson and Donnell Harvey, had only five rebounds. I dont know if I have problems with my eyes, or its the stat sheet, said Black after looking at the games statistics. During his heydays, Black said he also had five reboundsin the first four minutes. Ill probably talk to him, said Black of Jordan. Petron import Henry Sims finished with 22 points and 21 rebounds, but only got support from Marcio Lassiters 17 markers, while Ronald Tubid had 11 and the teams rookie June Mar Fajardo added 13 points with eight boards. The SMC-Meralco match promises another tight finish similar to the Bolts overtime win when import Eric Dawson converted two free throws with less than four seconds left to play. Not much to say. We need to win, period, said San Mig coach Tim Cone. Hopefully the extra day will help us get James Yap a little more healthy and ready to go so he can play more minutes, said Cone of Yap, who struggled in Game 1 with eight points on 4-of-10 shooting from the field. The bottom line is, we, as a team, need to play with a better, more focused effort, said Cone.

CPU, UV Rule Beach Volleyball

By JONAS TERRADO
BORACAY Central Philippine University and University of the Visayas extended their reign in the Nestea Beach Volleyball after ruling their respective divisions at the end of the tournaments 16th edition yesterday at this scenic tourist spot. National team member Jovelyn Gonzaga and Fiola Mae Ceballos overcame the stiff challenge of Maru Banaticla and Judy Caballejo of University of Santo Tomas, 22-20, 21-18, to give the Iloilo City-based CPU lasses their third straight crown. On the other hand, Jade Becaldo and Mike Abria of UV leaned on a gritty first set comeback to defeat fellow Cebu City-based team University of San Jose Recoletos, 28-26, 21-12, for back-to-back titles in the mens side. Both teams earned the top cash prize of P100,000 for ruling the threeday festivities witnessed by a lively crowd composed of local residents and curious tourists. CPU went unbeaten in five matches, dispatching La Salle-Dasmarinas (21-9, 21-9), Cebus Southwestern University (21-12, 21-18), Adamson (21-16, 21-19), La Salle (21-14, 21-19) and the UAAP beach volleyball champion UST belles. The road was harder for UV, which fell to the losers bracket after a 24-26, 21-19, 15-11 defeat to USJR in Fridays match for an outright semis berth. But Becaldo and Abria, both 22 years old, persevered.
The Green Lancers beat University of Mindanao-Tagum, 21-19, 16-21, 15-6, in the losers bracket and neighboring University of Southern Philippines, 17-21, 21-14, 15-7, in the semis early yesterday before beating USJR in the finals for the second straight year.

University of Santo Tomas handed Ateneo its first loss in four games with a 63-57 victory yesterday in the FilOil Preseason Cup at The Arena in San Juan. Aljon Mariano scattered eight of his 19 points down the stretch, while Kevin Ferrer fired a trey with 15.8 ticks left as the Tigers, who were playing without coach Pido Jarencio, evened their record to 1-1. Karim Abdul also sizzled with a double-double of 14 points and 11 boards for Espana-based cagers. Earlier, Adamson leaned on clutch free throws from Don Trollano in the final 17.4 seconds to squeak past Far Eastern University, 68-67, for its first win. Trailing by one, Trollano completed both charities off Terrence Romeo for the Falcons first win. In the other game, La Salle thrashed luckless Southwestern University, 98-61, to score its second straight victory. Christian Jacinto

W.B. GOAL: END POVERTY IN 2030

WASHINGTON (dpa) World Bank President Jim Yong Kim has a goal of virtually ending extreme poverty by 2030. I have no doubt that the world could end extreme poverty within a generation, but this will be much harder than most people realize, he said Thursday. It is far from a given. It will take ingenuity, focus, commitment, and visionary leaders. But if we succeed, we will have accomplished one of humankinds most historic accomplishments. Ahead of the World Bank spring meetings, global development agencies issued a call for urgent action to remove barriers to universal primary education.
Robinsons Land Corporation, the real estate arm of the Gokongwei group, is investing about P30 billion for the development its second business park which will be located along C5 road near the Ortigas Central Business District.

Ayala Eyes Myanmar, Allots $1B For Power And Infrastructure

By JAMES A. LOYOLA
Ayala Corporation, one of the countrys biggest and oldest conglomerates, is looking for investment opportunities in Myanmar while allotting $1 billion for new investments, mainly in power generation and infrastructure. Yes, weve sent a number of teams in Myanmar with different companies, quite a few times now, said Ayala chairman Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala in a press briefing after the firms annual stockholders meeting. He said they are exploring opportunities in the telecommunications, real estate and banking sectors in Myanmar which recently opened up its business sector to foreign firms as long as they enter into joint ventures with local companies. Weve sent a number of teams to Myanmar from different companies quite a few times now and we are working together with SingTel potentially to participate in a bid for the telecommunications set up of the country, Zobel said. He explained that SingTel is taking the lead in this bid but they have opened the possibility for Ayala to enter as partner to offer its expertise. SingTel is Ayalas strategic partner in Globe Telecom. SingTel is among the 12 international consortia that was shortlisted for the final stage of the telco license tender in Myanmar. Zobel said his brother (Ayala president) Fernando has been to Myanmar a couple of times to get to know the countrys regulatory structure. Myanmar is the last country in Asean to open up. Its in the process of organizing itself and opening itself up to foreign investment. The rules are not yet that clear, Ayala noted. He said they need to get comfortable with the country since there is interest on our part to participate in that economy. We believe the oppor-
tunities will be there, but we have to wait for the regulatory environment to define itself. Meanwhile, Ayala corporate strategy and business development head John Eric Francia said they are allotting up to $1 billion for equity investments in projects that may be worth $6 billion in new businesses, particularly the energy and infrastructure sectors. The bulk of the $1 billion will be for power projects. And my estimate would be 60-70 percent of thatwill be equity deployment in power between 2012-2016, Francia said. About $325 million has already been committed and our business development pipeline is very busy, theres a lot of opportunities, so we should use up the $700 million in the coming years, he said. Francia said they expect to deploy about $200 million to $300 million over the next couple of years to raise their power output to about 600 megawatts. He noted that the $1 billion will be for the equity portion corresponding to their stakes in joint ventures. Thus, including the project debt and partners equity, these should come out to power investments of about $6 billion to $7 billion. Property giant Ayala Land, Inc. is consolidating its business process outsourcing investments in Cebu and has sold its 60 percent interest in Asian i-Office Properties Inc. (AiO) to Cebu Property Ventures and Development Corporation. In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, ALI said CPVDC is 76.3 percent owned by its affiliate Cebu Holdings, Inc. This is consistent with the thrust of the CHI group to build up its recurring income base. This transaction will allow the company to consolidate into CPVDC the development and operations of BPO offices in Cebu and businesses related thereto, ALI chief finance officer Jaime Ysmael said.
EU Calls For More Investments In Job-Generating Sectors

By BERNIE CAHILES-MAGKILAT
The Philippines will certainly attract more job-creating European investments if it continues to open up its economy, said EU Ambassador Guy Ledoux. Europe is already very present in this country but if the Philippines continues to open up its economy it will certainly attract much more job-creating European investments, said Ledoux who led a group of ambassadors from various European countries during a recent visit at the high-tech facility of Lufthansa Technik Philippines. The Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA), which was signed in June 2011, was supposed to trigger the start of negotiations for the Philippines-EU bilateral FTA, but the Philippines said it was not yet ready as wider consultations with stakeholders have yet to be conducted. Lufthansa Technik Philippines is a very good example of European investment creating quality jobs for Filipinos in their own country. But it need not be the end. This could be just the beginning, said Ledoux, head of the EU Delegation. Our visit here today is not an isolated event. It follows on from several visits to the Philippines from high profile Europeans including by the
French Prime Minister, the German Foreign Minister, other prominent Ministers from the Czech Republic, Italy, Ireland and the UK as well as a delegation from the European Parliament. The red line through many of these visits was investment, he added. The visiting EU ambassadors came from the embassies of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, France and Romania , and other diplomats from Spain and the UK. Since year 2000, Lufthansa Technik Philippines has been providing a broad range of maintenance, repair and overhaul services to some of the most reputable airlines in the world. LTP specializes in providing support to the Airbus aircraft type, and has already completed a total of more than 400 base maintenance checks for over 30 international and local airlines. The Manila-based facility has recently added the worlds largest and most technologically advanced aircraft, the Airbus A380, into its roster of capabilities. This aircraft type is now being supported inside a dedicated hangar which was inaugurated in 2012.
While OFWs are making a much appreciated contribution in different sectors in Europe, the EU supports the Aquino administrations ambition to create high quality jobs for Filipinos in their own country. The continued expansion of Lufthansa Technik Philippines employing 2,500 highly qualified Filipinos is a practical expression of this support. German Ambassador Joachim Heidorn mentioned that Every single job for Filipinos created by European investment is very welcome. The well-paid jobs for highly-educated Filipinos offered by European companies like Lufthansa Technik are a particular source of pride. European investments in high tech industries are the clearest recognition of the skills and talents of Filipino workers who have shown themselves able to meet the challenges posed by some of the most technically sophisticated industries, the EU ambassadors said. The EU claimed they are already the largest investor in the Philippines in terms of stocks. Last year, the EU was also the largest source of approved FDI accounting for a full 40% of the total. Likewise, Filipino investors have cumulatively invested some 1.7 billion in the EU in 2010, which indicates that about 1/3 of Philippinesoverseas direct investments are made in the EU. EU-Philippines trade also continues to expand, with a continuous trade surplus for the Philippines: In 2011 alone, EU-Philippines trade in goods was worth over 9 billion, with over 5 billion in Philippines exports to he EU (and therefore a trade surplus of 1.1 billion).
DBM Issues New Guidelines On Release Of Govt Retirement Perks

By CHINO S. LEYCO
The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has issued new guidelines for the release of retirement perks for all government employees, in a move to facilitate the efficient processing and timely release of benefits to retiring government employees. Under Budget Circular 2013-1 dated April 12, 2013, government retirees will receive their retirement perks, gratuities and other benefits due them within 30-days from their actual date of retirement, provided all necessary requirements are submitted ninety (90) days prior to said date. President Aquino recognizes the valuable contributions of our retiring employees and their years of service to the government and the country. By ensuring the swift processing of their retirement pensions, our retirees can receive the assistance due them and support themselves ably, even after theyve left their posts in government, Budget and Management Secretary Florencio B. Abad said. Republic Act No. 10154 of 2011 provides that all retiring government employees should receive their retirement benefits within thirty days from their actual date of retirement. The Civil Service Commission (CSC) issued Resolution No. 1300237, which outlines the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the said law. In the past, the release of retireees pensions was prone to several
delays. Some retirees even had to wait for at least a year or more before their benefits could be processed. We understand the great inconvenience this has caused our retirees, and the implementation of the modified guidelines should assure the quick release of their perks as mandated by law, Abad said. A maximum period of 120-days is prescribed for the submission, processing, release and payment of the retirees benefits. This period includes a prescribed period of up to 90-days prior to a retirees effective retirement date for the submission of all documentary requirements to their mother agency, and then to DBM. The DBM will then process the agencys request for retirement payments within 10 days upon receipt, with another 10 days allotted to the review and examination of the request. Afterwhich, the agency is expected to record and give the retirement payment released by DBM to the retiring employee within 10 days. DBM, for its part, released the said guidelines prescribing the documentary requirements and processing procedures to institute measures and conform to the objectives of the said law and the IRR. The Budget Circular excludes the payment of retirement benefits for retiring personnel of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), whose pension system is still being reviewed for necessary rationalization.

EU Grant To Clean Energy
By EDU LOPEZ
B-3
The Philippines has secured P189 million in grant from the European Union (EU) under its SWITCH-Asia Program to fund projects aimed at promoting cleaner and more energy efficient industrial production in one of Asias rapidly transforming economies. Environment and Natural Resources Undersecretary Manuel Gerochi said the financial aid will formally put into implementation the EUs environment program to help accelerate the countrys shift toward sustainable consumption and production (SCP). The DENR chairs the steering committee for the implementation of SWITCHAsia in the Philippines, while the Department of Energy (DOE), the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the Climate Change Commission (CCC) and the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) are key partners. SWITCH-Asia Program is a regional grant facility funded by the EU. Its goal is to contribute to green growth, poverty reduction and climate change mitigation in Asia, specifically by promoting sustainable modes of consumption and production. According to Gerochi, the program serves as an opportunity to reverse the trend of economic development at the cost of the environment through better practices in production and consumption, especially by shifting to producing goods and offering services in an environmentally sustainable manner and patronizing those with less adverse environmental impact. The EU noted that the Philippines was recognized for having adopted a comprehensive SCP legal framework, but it is challenged with curbing existing practices and shifting towards new modes of production and consumption. It added that the country also had several key laws, but their full and effective implementation were hampered with structural and budgetary constraints. Under SWITCH-Asia, technical assistance and training will be provided to concerned government agencies for the effective enforcement of relevant SCPbased laws. Focus will be on the Renewable Energy and Biofuel Acts for clean energy, in partnership with the DOE; green procurement and eco-labeling in selected government agencies and local government units; and the Clean Air Act, in partnership with the DENR. The program started in July 2012 and will remain operational until December 2016. To date, the project has already seen preparatory activities such as coordination and consultation meetings with officials and stakeholders, data collection, identification of training activities, and review of related project framework and activities. Results of the project will be regularly monitored and evaluated by the EU, which will then make the necessary adjustments in the implementation. The program aims to promote good governance in the implementation of existing environmental laws, contribute to climate change mitigation, and reduce other negative impacts of industrial production on the environment. The Philippines is one of four pilot countries receiving financial assistance under the program, along with Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand.
AIRCRAFT LEASE
OSLO (dpa) - Norwegian Air Shuttle said it would lease planes for longhaul flights due to commence at the end of next month, while the delivery of its new Boeing 787 Dreamliner jets is pending. US regulators have grounded the planes due to concerns that batteries that could catch fire, resulting in delivery delays. Norwegian has ordered eight Dreamliners, of which five are to be leased. The company said no delivery date has been set.
EASYJET CHAIRMAN
EasyJet Plc appointed John Barton to replace Mike Rake as chairman starting next month as Europes No. 2 discount carrier presses ahead with plans to purchase new aircraft. Barton, the chairman of British retailer Next Plc and insurance company Catlin Group Ltd., will join the EasyJet board as a non-executive director and take over from Rake when he steps down on May 1, the Luton, England-based airline said in a statement today.

Yen Slide Boon To Japan Shipping Lines

By CHRIS COOPER and KIYOTAKA MATSUDA (BLOOMBERG)
787 DREAMLINER BACK TO SERVICE WITHIN WEEKS (Reuters) A United Airlines 787 Dreamliner passenger jet taxis past a Japan Airlines 787 at New Tokyo international airport, in this January 17, 2013 file photo. U.S. regulators are close to approving a key document that could start the process of returning Boeing Cos grounded 787 Dreamliner to service within weeks, according to several people familiar with the matter.
Boeing Resumes Dreamliner Test Flights With ANA Jet

By SUSANNA RAY (BLOOMBERG)
Boeing Co. resumed production test flights of the 787 Dreamliner with a plane destined for Japans ANA Holdings Inc. while awaiting approval of a fix for the smoldering batteries that spurred the models January grounding. The flights were approved without restrictions by the US Federal Aviation Administration, said Marc Birtel, a spokesman for Boeing Commercial Airplanes in Seattle. Theyre known as functional test check flights and are used to evaluate each 787s systems before its delivered to a customer, he said. The flight from Everett, Washington, home to Boeings main widebody-jet factory, was with a Dreamliner
outfitted with new batteries and a new containment system, Birtel said. Deliveries have been halted since the FAAs Jan. 16 grounding order for Chicagobased Boeings newest model. Getting the plane back up is very critical, said Ryota Himeno, an analyst at Barclays Securities Japan Ltd. by phone today. Resumption of production test flights is good news for ANA as the as the company had bet on the plane very heavily. The FAA has yet to approve the fix Boeing proposed last month after redesigning the lithium-ion batteries that provide backup power to the Dreamliner. Battery faults in January caused a fire in a Japan Airlines Co. 787 in Boston and forced an emergency landing by an ANA one in Japan. Ryosei Nomura, a spokesman for Tokyo-based ANA, the worlds biggest
operator of the 787, and Hiroharu Nakano, a spokesman for GS Yuasa, both declined to comment on test flights. Getting the plane back in the air after the first grounding in 34 years is key for the Chicago-based planemaker as it aims to double the production of the jet this year to help fill a backlog of about 800 orders. Boeing, which has delivered 49 Dreamliners so far, said last month safety upgrades to the 787 Dreamliners battery systems may allow commercial flights to restart within weeks, ending a two-month grounding of the composite-plastic fleet. Regulators led by the FAA ordered the global fleet of 49 Dreamliners parked on Jan. 16, forcing the eight carriers operating the plane to shuffle their schedules and put other jets into service to fill the gaps.
Japanese shipping lines, buffeted by a decline in freight rates, are set to get a more than $500 million boost to their earnings from a weaker yen. Nippon Yusen K.K., Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd. and Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha Ltd., the nations three biggest carriers, may add a total of 51.6 billion yen ($527 million) to their pretax profit this fiscal year as a weaker yen raises the value of contracts, said Ryota Himeno, an analyst at Barclays Securities Japan Ltd. The forecast assumes a 95 yen average to the dollar. Gains from the currency will help Japanese carriers offset a decline in shipping rates caused by overcapacity and a global economic downturn. The yen has tumbled about 12 percent this year, helping boost repatriated earnings from dollar-based contracts, as Japan stepped up its campaign to end 15 years of deflation that has depressed growth. The currency will be the biggest impact on profits this year, said Tokyo-based Himeno. There arent really any other drivers for profit: the shipping market isnt likely to get much better this year. The yen tumbled to a four-year low of 99.95 on April 11. It traded at 98.07 versus the dollar as of 6 p.m. in Tokyo yesterday. Shipping charges priced in dollars account for more than 80 percent of domestic shipping companies international revenue, according to The Japanese Shipowners Association, a group of 100 vessel owners. The currencys declines have
deepened as Japans central bank this month announced unprecedented stimulus aimed at doubling the monetary base by the end of 2014 through buying government bonds. The central bank has given itself a two-year horizon to meet a goal of 2 percent inflation. Japans economy, the worlds third-biggest, expanded an annualized 0.2 percent in the fourth quarter of last year after two straight contractions. Prices excluding fresh food havent risen 2 percent in any year since 1997, when the sales tax was increased. Nippon Yusen said in January that every 1 yen decline against the dollar would raise profit by 1.1 billion yen in the year ended March 31. Mitsui O.S.K. said a similar drop in the second half of the year would boost profit by 900 million yen, while Kawasaki Kisen said such a drop would increase profit by 500 million yen. The shipping lines, all based in Tokyo, declined to comment on profit for the year started April 1 before their earnings announcement on April 30. Nippon Yusen may post a net income of 29 billion yen this fiscal year, according to the average of 13 analysts compiled by Bloomberg, compared with 8.9 billion yen predicted for the previous 12 months. Kawasaki Kisen may also boost its profit while Mitsui O.S.K., which has the worlds largest merchant fleet, may return to an annual profit. Profit will naturally increase, said Rikard Vabo, an analyst with Oslo-based Fearnley Securities AS. All the earnings are in U.S. dollars and when they get more yen from each dollar, they are able to pay off debt easier.
EU Lawmakers Vote To Boost Ground Handling Competition At Airports

STRASBOURG, France (dpa) Large European Union airports will have to open up their ground handling services to more competition, under proposals approved by the European Parliament on Tuesday. The legislation, which follows the partial liberalization of airport services in 1996, has been fiercely resisted by trade unions, who fear that wages will be undercut. The vote, originally due in December, was postponed amid protest. Under the proposal, all airports handling at least 15 million passengers a year will have to operate with at lest three ground service providers - up from two at present. In 2011, 21 airports fell into that category, including London Heathrow, Paris Charles de Gaulle and Frankfurt airport. The proposals, which remain to be agreed by member states, also specify that minimum service quality standards must apply at all European airports serving more than 5 million passengers annually. This will include the maximum waiting time for baggage check-in, maximum time for delivery of first and last items of baggage, and holding minimum stocks of de-icing fluid, said lawmaker Artur Zasada of the European Peoples Party, who oversaw negotiations. European Transport Commissioner Siim Kallas welcomed the vote, citing the essential role that ground handling services play for the 800 million people using EU airports each year.
Global Air Travel Map Being Redrawn, Says Etihad CEO

The global air travel map is being redrawn as new markets evolve, traditional markets decline and the airline industry reshapes itself to accommodate changing conditions, according to Etihad Airways President and Chief Executive Officer, James Hogan. Speaking in Abu Dhabi at the World Travel and Tourism Council Global Summit, Hogan told more than 800 senior travel executives that legacy airlines were unlikely to progress unless they radically changed the way in which they did business. In addition to the ongoing challenges of economic instability and uncertainty surrounding fuel prices and supply, Hogan said the rapid growth of air travel in markets such as India, Africa and the Middle East meant airlines would need to reshape their networks to accommodate changing traffic flows. He said one of the fastest-growing regions was the Middle East, where major new hubs including Abu Dhabi were developing to support rapid economic growth in the Gulf region and to connect both new and traditional markets. In order to participate in the new world of air travel, Hogan said the next generation of airlines would need the vision and willingness to be different, in order to cut costs, improve productivity and find affordable ways of accessing new markets. Airlines across the world need to adapt to the new world and identify and tap into growth markets. The industry must source and train staff for this new growth, as well as explore cost-effective growth opportunities, Hogan said. He said Etihad Airways had created a new three-pillared business model, based on organic growth, codeshare partnerships and minority equity investments in other carriers. This strategy was underpinned by development of Abu Dhabi as a new global air transport hub, connecting the networks of partner airlines, Currently, Etihad Airways has 42 codeshare agreements in place, as well as equity investments in four airlines: airberlin, Air Seychelles, Virgin Australia and Aer Lingus. These partnerships have brought considerable benefits to Etihad Airways financial results, with codeshare and equity partner revenue in Q1 of 2013 up 34 per cent to US$182 million and partner contributions representing 20 per cent of the total. Hogan said: Our equity investment proposition ensures commitment and obligation from both airlines and streamlines our entry into new markets, affordably and within foreign investment limits. This strategy helps us avoid the drawn-out process which applies for mergers and larger investments, and enables our continued expansion via established and respected global brands, while delivering reciprocal benefits to our partners, including access to our growing network and significant savings through activities including resource sharing and joint purchasing. Hogan said the Etihad Airways strategy was to focus on growth markets and continue to build a new Silk Road that connects markets via the Abu Dhabi hub.
JAPANS TRADE DEFICIT WIDENS (Bloomberg) Containers are stacked at a shipping terminal in Tokyo, Japan, on Thursday, April 18, 2013. Japans exports exceeded estimates in March and the trade deficit narrowed from the previous month after declines in the yen made the nations products more competitive in overseas markets. Japans trade deficit rose to a record $83.4 billion in the last fiscal year, as exports faltered despite the weakening yen and costs for imported gas and crude oil rose. Exports fell 2.1 percent in the April-March fiscal year from the year before, to 63.9 trillion yen ($652.4 billion) while imports rose 3.4 percent to 72.1 trillion yen ($735.8 billion).
Business News
The eight-hour brownouts hitting most parts of Mindanao is seen to ease starting this weekend with the partial switch-on yesterday of a 15-megawatt generator of the 98-MW Iligan Diesel Power Plant (IDPP) after it was turned over to a private company last March a year after its auction. Full operation of the power plants 98-megawatt capacity by the September 2013 deadline set by the government will significantly reduce the daily power outages in most parts of Mindanao, according to Edgar Seviles, vice-president for energy operations of Alsons Power Corp., a subsidiary of the Alcantara Group that acquired the facility from the Iligan city government. The Alcantara Groups subsidiary Mapalad Power Corporation is shelling out P1.2 billion to fully rehabilitate the 98-megawatt Iligan diesel power plant but it remains a tough job because of poor maintenance records and the scarcity of available parts in the market, said Ruben Ramilo, the IDPP power plant tasked by MPC to supervise the rehabilitation and operation of the power plant. It is a tough order, but we will try our best to deliver the most we can in the shortest possible time, Ramilo said. Sevilles said MPC started rehabilitation work on the Iligan plant last March 11 and the MPC discovered that restoring the diesel generating units back to its optimum condition is not an easy task. We have to verify which unit needs

major overhaul and which unit needs only minor overhaul. The problem is that we do not have complete historical data that will tell us how these units were operated and maintained by the previous operator. Well have to make assumptions and random inspections in order to map out plans of action for each unit and for all other auxiliary equipment and facility, Seviles said. Another stumbling block is the availability of replacement parts and equipment especially for the electrical items. Some of these items are already obsolete and are no longer available in the market thus need to be completely replaced with updated models, some would take around 3 to 4 months for the suppliers to deliver these items, so well have to consider this lead time in projecting our load ramp up schedule. But as we have said, we will try our best to stay on track with our target schedules despite these difficulties. MPC has already signed off almost 90 percent of its full capacity via Power Sales Agreements (PSAs) with the following distribution utilities: Iligan Light and Power, Inc. (ILPI) - (covering the MPC plants host city of Iligan) which chose to source 10 MW from the MPC plant; the South Cotabato II Electric Cooperative, Inc. (SOCOTECO II) for 30 MW (covering General Santos City, the entire Province of Sarangani and 2 municipalities in South Cotabato); the Zamboanga City Electric Cooperative, Inc. (ZAMCELCO) for 18 MW- (covering Zamboanga City); Agusan del Norte Electric Cooperative (ANECO) for 15 MW- (covering Butuan City and other areas of Agusan del Norte); Agusan del Sur Electric Cooperative (ASELCO) for 10 MW - (covering Bayugan City and all 13 municipalities of Agusan del Sur); and Zamboanga del Sur I Electric Cooperative , Inc. (ZAMSURECO 1) for 5 MW (covering Pagadian City and 24 municipalities in Zamboanga del Sur). Pending approval of these PSAs by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), these coops will be able to access electricity from the MPC plant thus significantly reducing the power outages in their respective service areas. The IDPP/MPC facility was originally developed and operated by the Alcantara Group thru its subsidiary, Northern Mindanao Power Corporation (NMPC), under two energy conversion agreements with the National Power Corporation (NPC) using the build, operate, and transfer (BOT) scheme that required the two NMPC plants to provide power to the Mindanao grid, 58-MW from 1993 to 2003, and 40 MW from 1993 to 2006. The plants were turned over to the NPC at the respective expirations of the two agreements in 2003 and 2006 and were subsequently acquired by the City of Iligan in 2007. NPC continued operating the plants until 2010. The Iligan City Government decided to invite interested parties to bid for the ownership and operation of the power plants in 2011. The Alcantara Group subsequently won through a negotiated bid subjected to a Swiss Challenge.
YUNUS RECIEVES US CONGRESS AWARD (AFP) Congressional Gold Medal recipient Bangladeshi economist Muhammad Yunus is presented with the award by House Speaker John Boehner (right), R-OH, as House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, watches during a ceremony on April 17, 2013 in the Rotunda of the US Capitol in Washington, DC. Yunus received the award for his efforts in fighting global poverty.
US Honors Microloan Pioneer Yunus With Top Civilian Award

WASHINGTON (AFP) The US Congress bestowed the countrys top civilian award on microfinance pioneer Muhammad Yunus, in a rousing show of support to a man who is under fire in his native Bangladesh. Yunus, the founder of Grameen Bank which provides small loans to poor people usually excluded from the banking system, became the first Muslim to be awarded the Congressional Gold Medal. Leaders of Americas two main parties took a break from a tense day for the ceremony in the rotunda under the US Capitols dome, where House Speaker John Boehner said he was presenting the award with awe and gratitude. Professor Yunus set out to do what may be the biggest thing of all, and that is liberating people to seek a better life, Boehner said. Representative Rush Holt of New Jersey, who belongs to President Barack Obamas Democratic Party, hailed Yunus as a man who has shown most of us to be wrong in their views of how economics work. Banker, revolutionary and visionary are not words that are commonly associated with each other, Holt said. Yet millions of times, Dr. Yunus has demonstrated with facts, evidence and accomplishment that grand social goals can be pursued one person at a time by using practices that are completely contrary to what businesses have practiced, for ages. Yunus and Grameen Bank won the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize, with the award committee crediting his decades of efforts with lifting from dire poverty millions of people in Bangladesh and elsewhere -- particularly women. However, Yunus has faced pressure in Bangladesh where the government has increased control over Grameen Bank -- a move critics say is aimed at keeping the banker in check if he bids to enter the nations deeply polarized politics. A visibly moved Yunus said he first visited the Capitol when he was teaching at Middle Tennessee State University. He said he came to Washington in 1971 to lobby the United States -- unsuccessfully -- to support Bangladeshs independence from Pakistan. He thanked Congress for the wonderful honor, saying it was an endorsement of his microfinance ideas. I am receiving it not for me but for all these women who have worked so hard to make you convinced they can take care of themselves given the financial institutional support not charity, he said.

economies plus the spring meetings of the 188-nation IMF and its sister lending institution, the World Bank. Earlier this week, the IMF lowered its outlook for the world economy this year, predicting that government spending cuts would slow U.S. growth and keep the 17-nation area that uses the euro currency in recession. Officials of the Group of 20, which include Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, were scheduled to begin their discussions over a working dinner Thursday night and wrap up Friday with the issuance of a joint communique. The G-20 is composed of the worlds major developed countries such as the United States, Japan and Germany and fast-growing developing nations including China, Brazil and India. That joint statement was expected to repeat a pledge the group made at their last meeting in February that they would avoid using competitive currency devaluations to gain advantages in trade. Lew, previewing the U.S. objectives going into the meetings, said that he would press Europe to do more to support growth and would maintain pressure on Japan and China to avoid lowering the value of their currencies to boost their exports at the expense of the United States and other coun-
tries. Lew said it was important that G-20 nations avoid a downward spiral of `beggar thy neighbor policies, the type of destructive trade competition that worsened the Great Depression in the 1930s. In her comments, Lagarde talked about the dangers of overemphasizing deficit reduction with growth still fragile. She said the United States had avoided the fiscal cliff of across-theboard tax hikes and spending cuts at the beginning of this year that could have derailed the U.S. economy but had made a policy error by allowing $85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts, known as a sequester, to take effect on March 1. Lagarde said the United States needed to pursue better quality deficit reductions with less impact coming in the near-term. She said that a priority for Europe was to fix its frayed banking system and also where needed to moderate its austerity programs. Lagarde noted that Spain was struggling with high unemployment and therefore the country needed more time before pursuing aggressive deficit reduction. The IMFs economic report called on both the United States and Britain to scale back its deficit cutting in the near-term. The austerity program launched by Britain in 2010 was designed to reduce high budget deficits through tax increases and spending cuts but ended up weakening Britains recovery from the recession.

Seminars will look at the challenge of creating productive, meaningful jobs in Asia, the steps needed to quicken and deepen regional integration including South Asias fast expanding links to its Southeast Asian neighbors and the measures needed to mobilize more long term finance for Asias huge infrastructure needs. Sessions will be held on development aid, and ways to boost falling
levels of assistance; as well as how to improve the delivery of public services to poor and marginalized groups; and financing universal health care. The potential threat to Asias future growth from the ongoing economic slump in the US and Europe will come under the microscope, while a new ADB study on disaster risk management will look at how the region can better protect itself from increasingly severe and frequent natural calamities which have killed more than 70,000 people a year in the past decade and caused direct annual economic losses of around $35 million. Alongside the annual meeting, finance ministers and other officials of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the Peoples Republic of Chain, Japan and Republic of Korea, (known as ASEAN + 3) will also hold discussions.
FTA...
reduce tariffs and other requirements of commerce that restrict trade between them. In 2011, US$948,832 worth of biscuits, waffles and wafers were exported to China, up 316 percent from US$228.177 in 2010, reported by the National Statistics Office and processed by the DTIs Bureau of Export and Trade Promotion (BETP). The market opportunities in China, not only for the biscuit sector,
are enormous. We are therefore urging exporters to tap China because it is now one of the worlds biggest economies, BETP director Senen Perlada said. According to Chanpongco, the DTI and the Department of Agriculture (DA) should also conspire to ensure there is enough supply of raw materials for the food exporting sector. The biggest help the DTI or the DA can do is the supply side...The FTA is entry but the exit from Philippines should be supply, so how can Philippine food exporters supply without the raw material? Chanpongco added.
Chanpongo also proposed the establishment of a Filipino food aisle in foreign supermarkets worldwide where Filipino products can be advertised. Were looking for food items that foreigners will like, i.e., biscuit, dried mangoes, kalamansi, wine. Were not talking about brands; were looking at the product, he said. The Philippines engages in FTAs to maintain competitiveness, to promote cross-border complementation, to sustain inflow of investments, for mutual support on issues of common interest and to provide benefits to consumers.

you will not put in the time and effort to work on this endeavor if you dont feel that there is a gap to be filled in the first place. Let us now look at the belief system of an open-minded person: You are not always right. You must be honest and unselfish enough to admit to yourself that you can be mistaken, and that the other person can be right. You have the willingness to look at the point of view of others, even though they might not coincide with your own. You are able to see that others may see things that you may have overlooked. You are not quick to judge. You welcome new ideas and all their possibilities. You do not easily make assumptions or jump to conclusions without seeing proof or evidence, researching and investigating the facts, and testing them out yourself. You are self-assured and confident enough to ask questions to clarify what you dont understand and to make sense of things, and are willing to listen to explanations that are given by others to support their beliefs. You have the ability to disagree respectfully with others. You do not get angry, belittle anyone or accuse other people of being misinformed or not being intelligent in the middle of a heated discussion where varying opinions are shared. You can disagree with someone without insulting them or thinking that they are wrong. You calmly state your beliefs and opinions and possess the ability to back it up with evidence, and still respect the other party who may feel and think differently. You even feel a little grateful and show some appreciation for thembecause even if you do not change your viewpoint, they have helped to open your mind analytically and emotionally, strengthening you in the process. Yo u r e g u l a r l y s t e p o u t o f your comfort zone. You do not reject something just because it is unpopular. Instead, you are flexible enough to search for alternative reasonable ways to view and think about things, and to act differently from the way most people do without feeling awkward or out-of-place. This will help you discover the truth of any matter based on personal experience rather than close-minded speculation, and will lead to better ways of approaching issues and getting things done. Words Of Caution Your open-mindedness must be balanced out with a dose of healthy skepticism as well. Being open-minded does not mean being gulliblewhere you are taken in by claim made or beliefs espoused by any crackpot you may encounter. Open-mindedness involves using your current knowledge and experience to assess whether an idea or situation makes sense to you or not. As Jacob Needleman, the American philosophy

The Five Secret Ingredients To Successful Investing

BIZMAKER
Mark So
n my previous article, I talked about wealth flow around the world. If you have not read that yet, go to wealthflowproject.com and sign up for the Wealth Plan so I can e-mail you the complete series. Today, I want to talk about the five secret ingredients of successful investorsand what you need to become a successful investor yourself. Ingredient no. 1: Successful investors anticipate and get in before everyone else. To me, there are only two kinds of investors: amateurs and successful ones. The difference lies in the timing of when they decide to invest. Amateur investors wait for the perfect scenario; they place their investments only after all problems in the investment go away. While it would seem very logical and safe to do so, you usually end up losing money in the investment when you enter too late in the game. In 2008, for example, the price of a 110-square meter office unit at the Philippine Stock Exchange (Tektite Building) was going at P3 to P4 million, and the occupancy rate was only at 70 percent. An amateur investor would wait and see for the price to go up before they would buy it. By the second half of 2008, the subprime mortgage crisis hit North America, causing businesses in the Philippines to slow down for fear of what might happen next. A year later, second half of 2009, the Philippines started to prosper because some of the wealth was transferred from North America into the Philippines and the price of the 110-square meter office started to rise a bit, but only a few had the courage to buy. Today, the same office unit goes for P6 to P7 million and the occupancy rate is at 99.8 percent. If you buy now, you have already lost P3 to P4 million, regardless if the price will continue to go up. Successful investors know that there will always be risks and there will never be a perfect scenario. However, the number one secret ingredient of these investors is that they think two steps ahead and can scientifically predict what may happen down the road. Part of the secret ingredient is that they trust their analysis and have the courage to carry it out by investing before everybody else. Ingredient no. 2: Successful investors have a scientific and systematic process of predicting the future. Contrary to popular belief that it is impossible to predict the future, there are indeed scientific and systematic ways to predict what will happen to your investments. Successful investors know this and have been applying it over and over again, leading to consistent and above average returns year over year. There are two parts to every successful investors future prediction system. The first part is analysis, and the second part is money management. Analysis to predict what will happen in the next few hours, days, weeks, months or years can be achieved by mastering the following: Market sentiment , which is the current psychology of the market; fundamental analysis, which varies from market to market and basically covers everything outside of charts and technical analysis; and technical analysis or understanding market trends by looking at past price movements in the form of charts.

With Interest Rates So Low, Where Should Entrepreneurs Invest Today?

BUSINESS COACH
Ruben Anlacan, jr.

irtually unreported, a silent thief is now wreaking havoc on the savings of millions of Filipinos. That silent thief is inflation. With interest rates below the rate of inflation, you are in fact losing money in your time deposits. Fortunately, at this time, inflation is quite low and so the negative effect is not large. Still, in a decade or more, the damage would be
substantial enough to cause more and more people to seek better returns than plain time deposits. Investing is a complex field and not my expertise, but I wish to share my perspective as an entrepreneur. Most books on personal investing have not focused on the factors affecting a business persons investment decisions. When a person earns most of his income from a business, there are fundamental differences that affect his financial planning. Some financial advisers may not agree with investing more in your own company beyond a certain percentage of your assets due to their belief in diversification. Their position is basically true; it is obviously dangerous to put all your eggs in one
basket. But a closer examination of the risks involved may justify a more generous allocation to your business endeavour. What I will now discuss is not a complete investing guide for entrepreneurs, but selected tips that can prove useful. I have seen many successful entrepreneurs apply these techniques: Buy out your landlord. I have often read that buying the property where your business stands is a drain on resources that is better used elsewhere. Nevertheless, there are certain circumstances that will justify purchase of the property. One is to secure the location of the business. It may happen that your landlord may decide not to renew your lease. Worse
is if he suddenly takes an interest in taking over your business. Retailers are particularly affected by this since a good location is crucial to them. To avoid too much concentration of your assets in one company, you may have the property in your name or in another corporation (if your business is a corporation). Be your own supplier. If your requirements are large enough, there are cases where it would be advantageous if you can manufacture or import your own supplies or inventory. This is to improve your profit margin and have better control over quality. Negotiate cash discounts. If you are currently on a credit line with your supplier, it may be possible to
negotiate a discount if you pay in cash. Many will resist this suggestion as they may think it may be difficult to regain the right to pay on terms; also, the length of the terms given is often bragged about as a sign of their clout with the supplier. Some think that only new or unreliable customers should pay cash. I n v e s t i n i n v e n t o r y. T h i s is a common strategy among businessmen that is often condemned by some advisers as too risky. The most common argument is that it bloats inventory, which ties up capital increases and risks. But there are ways to mitigate thislike having sufficient insurance. For many businesses, it is possible to

Understanding The Events Management Business

o know how huge the market for events management is, you must first know what it covers. It can be as small as handling a childrens party of a few dozen people to as big as managing an international convention with a multimillion peso budget. Events management companies can be a one-man operation or a multinational colossus. It is easy to see that this business has plenty of potential even if the capital needed to start is comparatively small. For those who are planning to enter this industry, here are some tips: Learn planning and time management techniques. Although everyone could benefit from better time management, the need for this is more critical in the events management business where so many things will be happening at almost the same time. Here, too, the ability to plan for the smallest details is a vital skill needed to pull off a

successful event. Know the different sources of profit. Besides the fees the client will pay, there are many other possible sources of revenue. You can also tap sponsors or be a supplier of some items or services. Have templates for drafting contracts. As in most industries, there are standards contracts that are specifically written for event organizers. Learn from the experience of others and do not try to reinvent the wheel. It is most likely that the contract has provisions that will protect you from a lot of problems. Prepare detailed checklists. Do not rely on memory. Everything that needs to be checked should be written to ensure that it is not forgotten. Be aware of the safety needs and legal aspects concerning events. The safety of attendees is your responsibility. You need to know the necessary safety procedures and safeguards. Also, be familiar and compliant with the laws regarding the conduct of events. This is more
critical for big events where the potential for accidents is greater. Nevertheless, even the smallest events must have the proper safety and legal precautions. Have multiple back-ups. Although they are an added expense, not having back-up equipment is like an accident waiting to happen. Two of the items that must have back-ups are the power supply and sound system. Learn how to estimate the needed budget for an event. One of the first things a potential client would ask is what would be the budget for the event. It is also very possible that you would be given a budget to work with. Know how to cost and price everything so that you would end up with a reasonable profit.

am a classically trained professional dancer, and I have three different jobs. My main one is performing with a group named Evidence, A Dance Company, which is based in Brooklyn. Im also a co-choreographer and dancer in a three-person musical comedy group, Adira Amram and the Experience. On Saturdays, if not on the road with one of those groups, I teach dance at the Ailey School. I enjoy learning new steps and routines, but last year I had to learn a skill that I never saw coming: puppeteering. Several years ago, Eric San, a turntablist known as Kid Koala, hired our comedy group to open for him on one of his tours. Instead of mixing and playing songs from a computer the way many contemporary D.J.s do, he creates music by manipulating sounds on records to produce new
melodies. Like our comedy group, his shows and albums might be considered avant-garde. Last May, Eric asked us if we would participate that fall in his world tour, which he described as a vaudeville show. He said that this time, besides energetic dance routines, he wanted us to incorporate puppets into the act. My puppet would be three feet tall, the torso of a robot character from one of Erics graphic novels. In the show, the robot would emerge from behind a cloth-covered trunk, swaying as it lip-synched the heart-aching lyrics to a blues song. My colleagues Adira Amram and Jessi Erian Coln would operate other puppets from different parts of the stage. I didnt have the faintest idea how to make an inanimate object move on stage. And the challenge was even more daunting since we wouldnt even see the puppets until hours before the world premiere in Geneva, because they were still being made in Canada.

The entrepreneurs we spoke to all wanted more control over their time and their work responsibilities.

Ingredient no. 3: Successful investors have money management discipline. Analysis, although important and essential to successful investing, will mean nothing if you do not know how to manage your money and risks properly. Successful investors know that nothing in investing is ever guaranteed, which is why they know how to control their losses and know how to manage their greed. There are many rules for proper money management, but for me, it boils down to just two things:
First, dont fall in love with your investmentscut your losses early and objectively; and second, protect your profits. Withdraw the profits as soon as you make them and distribute in less risky assets. Ingredient no. 4: Successful investors have the courage to continue despite failures and setbacks. When it comes to dealing with loss, you have to realize that, first, it happens. Not just to newbies but also to experienced traders. You cant be right 100 percent of the time
so dont be too hard on yourself. Do not plan for vengeance or try to prove the market wrong. You have to realize that if you go up against the market with everything youve got, you will lose everything youve got. When you lose a trade or a series of trades, you dont just lose capital. You lose emotional capital as well. For me, emotional capital is more valuable a commodity than money; without it, you will be trading blindly, sloppily, and dangerously. Rest your mind, rest your heart, and preserve your emotional capital and live to fight again. Remember that investing is a
marathonnot a 100-meter dash. You may trip, you may even fall flat on your face, but its not about speed. Its about resilience. Take your time, but get up and keep at it. You cant fail if you dont quit. Believe in yourself and believe that this will make you even better. If you dont, you will never learn. Ingredient no. 5: Learn from an experienced investor. All successful investors learned from someone else. Warren Buffet, George Soros, all the millionaires and billionaires of the worldall of them had or have a mentor, a teacher or a friend who taught them the tricks of the trade.
If you want to become a successful investor, seek out your mentor and learn all there is to learn.

To h e l p m e b e c o m e m o r e comfortable with the task, my boyfriend bought me tickets to the musical Avenue Q, which uses puppets. As I watched, I started to understand how you could almost make a puppet an extension of your body and have it convey emotion. We rehearsed our show for three days with Eric, but I had only a rudimentary foam prototype of the puppet Id be using. Adira and Jessi used two Muppet-like puppets that belonged to Erics young daughters. Our puppets creators in Montreal also chatted with us over the Internet, giving us some tips before we left for Europe. Still, I was a little nervous. Wed be performing before hundreds of people. I wanted to do a good job because I take pride in my work. But I also wanted Eric to hire our group again so we could continue collaborating with him. I value being a part of a group that charts new paths with him; hes very creative and the entire process pushes me to be a better artist. Thats more
important to me than the paycheck. Its the reason I keep such a busy scheduleto continue building my network and creating new things. I hope to bring all my experiences together. Everything worked out well for us in Europe. Nine hours before show time, we unfurled the Bubble Wrap that had safely cradled the puppets across the Atlantic, and started using them. The moment that the puppets came alive, the audience did, too. I called on all Id learned from Avenue Q and even channeled the Sesame Street puppets of my childhood. And, thankfully, Eric asked us to perform on another tour, which was recently completed. Even if you work in a non-artistic job, you can learn a new skill by taking the approach I did. Whatever the challenge, see if theres a model for what you need to learn, or something similar, and check it out. And dont be afraid to ask for help. It sounds so simple, but some people dont want to reveal any difficulty with tackling something new. When
I needed help with the big feathered fans we also used in the show, I found someone in the performing arts who could teach me. Often, you dont realize how generous people can be until you ask. If youre learning a new skill, theres probably a person in your workplace or network who can helpand wants to. Along that line of thinking, try talking about your assignment. Once my group got the job, I talked incessantly about having to learn puppetryI think I was psyching myself for the challenge. And you never know whos listeningmaybe its someone with good ideas. Finally, never shy away from learning a new skill. It can lead to a new career path or help build an arsenal for your lifes journey. Learning to work with puppets ignited a new interest for me and provided a whole other way to express myself.NYT As told to Patricia R. Olsen. A version of this article appeared in print on March 17, 2013, on page BU8 of the New York edition with the headline, Embrace New Skills, And Open New Doors.

invest in inventory if they anticipate a price increase. For example, if a certain supplier has given notice that the next order would be 10 percent higher, it may be profitable to get substantially more than your usual order. Another way to earn better is to buy in bulk if it is possible to obtain volume discounts. Finally, you can study if increasing your product line is now feasible considering the low interest rates. Buy more efficient equipment. You can turn low interest rates to your advantage by acquiring machinery that can expand your capacity or reduce your operating expense. Both options can bring far more to your bottom line than a few percentages. Invest in training. We usually see only the visible and tangible assets in our balance sheet. It is time to assess if your manpower is performing at its best. Studies show that proper training is essential to develop your work force to their maximum capability. You cannot rely on on-the-job experience alone
to teach them all they need to know. The cost of training is negligible compared to the benefits that will be acquired. While people look for better returns in speculative investments, there are usually more opportunities to gain larger returns in your own business with far lesser risks. The next time you hear of a friend making a killing on his investment, look first in your own backyard. With a little more effort, you can strengthen your business and get better profits. Furthermore, you would be able to focus on managing your business rather than be distracted with investments that are not really within the realm of your expertise.

Anger, crying jags, and nightmares are all normal reactions for both survivors of the Boston Marathon bombings and witnesses to the mayhem. While the injured and those closest to the blasts are most prone to psychological aftershocks, even people with no physical injuries and those like Greeley might feel the emotional impact for weeks afterward as they struggle to regain a sense of security. Whats not clear is who will suffer lingering anxiety, depression or even post-traumatic stress disorder. But specialists say that how resilient people are helps determine how quickly they bounce back. The resilient tend to be people who share their emotions before becoming overwhelmed, who know how to copewith stress, and who have the ability to look for a silver lining such as focusing on bystanders who helped the wounded. Focusing on the horror, thats harder on our body and our mind, said Dr. Catherine Mogil, co-
director of the family trauma service at the University of California, Los Angeles. People who tend to be able to make positive meaning out of tough situations are going to fare better. Among the typical reactions that psychologists say anyone who witnessed the bombings or their aftermath might experience include difficulty sleeping or eating; sweats or stomachaches; anxiety or fear especially in crowded situations that remind people of the bombing. People may have a hard time focusing on work or other everyday activities. They may feel numb, anger easily, or cry often. Priscilla Dass-Brailsford, a psychologist at Georgetown University Medical Center, said that if those symptoms dont fade in about a month, of if they are bad enough to impair function, people should seek help. But for most, time is a great healer, said Dass-Brailsford, who served on disaster mental health teams that counseled survivors of 9/11 in New York. Specialists say only a small number of people are expected to be so severely affected that they develop PTSD, a disorder that can include flashbacks, debilitating anxiety, irritability and insomnia months after the trauma. Even among veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the best estimate was that just under 20
percent returned with symptoms of PTSD or major depression. More at risk for lingering psychological effects are people whove previously been exposed to trauma, whether from the battlefield, a car crash or a hurricane. In Bostons hospitals, teams of counselors and social workers are telling patients and their families what to expect in the difficult days and weeks ahead. Most people are having a lot of flashbacks, and thoughts of the bombing interrupt their days and nights, said Lisa Allee, who directs the Community Violence Response Team at Boston Medical Center. These are very typical, normal, expected emotions after any traumatic event or disaster. Beyond hospitalized patients, part of coping is awareness about how to take care of the psyche turning off scary TV coverage and reading a book, going out for a quiet dinner, anything to temporarily cut the stress, says Dass-Brailsford, the disaster specialist. Thats especially true for parents who are trying to calm their children, added UCLAs Mogil, because kids take their emotional cues from the adults around them. Younger children especially dont need to see repeated footage of the blasts, because they may think its happening again.
HUNTING...
ing learned papers for the heavy science journals. True? Well, not quite. They do have a sense of humor too. At the start of this month, a blog from the Great Temple of the particle hunting profession at CERN, near Geneva, offered a captive boson of the Higgs genus to each of the first 10 readers

Chinese leader were the enhancement of mutual trust and reduction of mutual suspicions among nations, apparently referring to the US without mentioning the Americans. Diversity was the character of the eminents as well as issues/concerns at Boao. The conference was host not only to high officials and celebrities from the spheres of politics, economics, environment, energy, and human development (like International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde, former US Secretary of Labor Elaine Lan Chao, and investor-philanthropist George Soros) who spoke at jampacked sessions. There were also presentations where Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates spoke on investments for the poor, and Hsing Yun, founder of the Buddhas Light International Association, expounded on the universal virtues of honesty, integrity, and the Golden Rule. Media was well represented with over 600 journalists from 132 international/local agencies notably Xinhua News Agency, China Daily, CCTV, Phoenix TV , Associated Press, Agence France Presse, Reuters, CNN, BBC, CNBC, Bloomberg, and Wall Street Journal. Who Were At BFA 2013 Twenty-eight Asia-Pacific countries form the core of BFA, which is registered under PRC laws as a non-government, non-profit economicintellectual resource center. BFA is the first Asia-focused international forum established to promote Asias interests as One Family through closer cooperation and economic integration, thus complementing the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum, ASEAN+16 (dialogue partners), and World Economic Forum (WEF). Other incumbent HoS/Gs who took part in the opening events, partnership encounters, and other sessions were: Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev, Myanmar President U Thein Sein, Mexico President Enrique Pea Nieto, Peru President Ollanta Moises Humala Tasso, Zambia President Michael Sata, Finland President Sauli Niinisto, Cambodia Prime Minister Hun
Sen, Australia Prime Minister Julia Gillard, and New Zealand Prime Minister John Philip Key. BFA Chair, former Japan PM Yasuo Fukuda, assisted by SecGen Zhou Wenzhong, was in charge of the proceedings. As a key policy and intellectual resource center in the Asia-Pacific region, BFA not only gathers top policy-makers and key advisors, but also evaluates prospects for wider economic recovery and sustainable progress. More importantly, its Annual Conference helps chart a roadmap for the better future of Earths people by pursuing sustainable development and enduring peace. The formation of the BFA was initiated by former Australia PM Bob Hawke, former Japan PM Morihiro Hosokawa, and FVR who, in September, 1998, conducted a series of consultations around Asia that culminated in the issuance of the Manila Declaration and, eventually, the formal launching of the Boao Forum for Asia by China President Jiang Zemin on 27 February 2001. After serving two successive terms as Chairman of BFA board of directors, FVR turned over the post in 2010 to former PM Yasuo Fukuda who was elected to that position. Former Ambassador of China to the US Zhou Wenzhong assumed the SecGen job which was vacated by Long Yongtu, former Deputy Minister of Trade and Economic Cooperation (who spearheaded Chinas accession to the WTO). FVRs involvement with Asias largest socioeconomic-strategic forum continues as he moved up to Chairman of BFAs Council of Advisors. On ASEAN, Taiwan, And North Korea At Boao, President Xi repeatedly stressed common development, inclusiveness, friendship, and partnership with neighbors, summarizing Chinas regional and global relations with this statement: We are firm in our resolve to uphold peace and stability in Asia and the World. We will work tirelessly to solve the relevant issues properly through dialogue and negotiations. China-ASEAN relations and the South China Sea/West Philippine Sea/
East Sea territorial disputes received special attention from President Xi when he committed to Brunei Sultan Bolkiah: There should be no factor to disturb the China-ASEAN friendly cooperation process at their one-on-one meeting in Beijing (China Daily, 6-7 April). Compatriots from the Mainland and Taiwan are part of one family, and people from both sides should keep that in mind, President Xi said, as he called for long-term cooperation to boost CrossStraits ties when he met with Vincent C. Siew, honorary chairman of the Taiwanbased Cross-Straits Common Market Foundation on 08 April in Boao. The annual BFA Cross-Straits Business Roundtable this year focused on how To Deepen and Consolidate Cooperation Between the Enterprises on Both Sides of the Taiwan Straits: Strategy, Methods, and Modes. It was co-chaired by Dai Xianglong, secretary of the Party Committee, National Council Social Security Fund; and Fredrick Chien, senior advisor, Cross-Straits Common Market Foundation. Former Taiwan Vice President Vincent Siew who led the Taiwan delegation had an exclusive closed door conference with President Xi, the two being good friends and previous counterparts as vice presidents. Cross-Straits development should focus on long-term benefits, and compatriots on both sides should work together to rejuvenate the Chinese nation, President Xi added (China Daily, 09 April). On North Koreas nuclear threats, influential political voices continued to pile pressure on Beijing for not doing enough to avert the danger of conflagration. Such comments came after President Xi, in his Boao speech, said: No country should be allowed to throw a region and even the whole world into chaos for selfish gain, but stopped short of naming North Korea (Associated Press and Reuters, 09 April). In Russia And Africa President Xi made his initial foreign sortie to Moscow last 22 March and then to Africa. New Foreign Minister Wang Yi summarized the Xi Jinping-Vladimir
to e-mail in a request. Simultaneously, across the Atlantic the US Fermilab announced a months-long search for a new director was over with the appointment of the obvious candidate, the Time Lord. It WAS April Fools Day, and no one was misled, right? Wrong, they were, according to both august institutions. At CERN, scientist-blogger Pauline Gagnon now reports that over 1,500 eager respondents entered her boson lottery. Most of them wrote very enthusiastic notes, explaining why they wanted a Higgs, so far no more than a ripple on a graph she told Reuters. Even some physics students fell for it.... One told me it would help to win his girlfriends heart as he was about to propose. Nearly half the entries came from Belarus or Russia. Gagnon suspects that a serious report on the lottery by a regional news agency may have had something to do with that response. Other applications for an original of the ephemeral Higgs came from Australia, China, Canada, and Finland which have strong physics communities. One came from Rwanda, which doesnt. Many applicants were not com-
pletely fooled but happily played along, says Gagnon. Ten of them, finally selected at random, will get a cuddly toy boson in reward. Over at Fermilab, which for years competed with CERN in the Higgs chase but lost its particle collider in a US government economy drive, spokesperson Andre Salles reported a tremendous response to their April 1 announcement. Run in its online daily Bulletin, it said the new director to replace departing Pier Oddone an Italianborn physicist with his feet firmly on the ground would be someone dedicated to exploring the mysteries of space and time On July 1, the Time Lord known as the Doctor will join Fermilab, said the Bulletin, alongside a portrait of British actor Matt Smith with a scientifically suitable mop of ruffled hair and tweed jacket. Smith is currently playing the title role in the cult British television science fiction serial, Dr Who, now in its 50th year in which the hero battles alien villains seeking the destruction of humankind. After facing down Daleks, Cybermen, and the Master, I cant think of anyone more qualified to take on a congressional budget committee, the Bulletin quoted Oddone as saying.
Putin meetings as frank, practical, and congenial. At a time when the United States is redirecting its security priorities with its Asia-Pacific pivot, Xis decision to visit Russia ahead appears to be his own counter-pivot aimed at the US According to the Economist (London, 23 March): First trips matter: leaders meet friends before those with whom they have trickier relations. China and Russia, antagonists some decades ago, are now on remarkably good terms. Both countries resent American global dominance, as well as Western intervention in others affairs. Xi visited the Russian Defense Ministry and the Armed Forces Command Center, the first-ever for a foreign head of state. The two countries signed 32 agreements, dubbed contracts of the century because of their enormous collaboration value. Xi thereafter visited Tanzania and the Republic of Congo. He sounded a clear message to the international community that China and Africa have long been a community of shared destinies and will forever be reliable friends and sincere partners, according to Foreign Minister Wang. In encounters with African leaders, President Xi stressed Chinas commitment to Africas development in accordance with each countrys national conditions. He committed full support to the construction of transnational
infrastructure to facilitate Africas better connectivity. He also attended the 5th BRICS Summit in Durban, South Africa, last 26-27 March the first time emerging powers Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa held their annual meeting in Africa. Minister Wang revealed that more than 40 agreements, including socioeconomic projects to improve the livelihoods of Africans, were signed between China and the three African nations. FVR Recommendations In his after-trip report to PNoy last 15 April, FVR made the following recommendations: (1) Under Sultan Bolkiahs/Bruneis Chairmanship of ASEAN, push for the multilateral approach to the final resolution of the territorial disputes in the South China Sea/West Philippine Sea/East Sea within the framework of UNCLOS. (2) Formulate a 20-year strategic plan re our relations with China and the US considering their new foreign policy/global thrusts. (3) Consider P .Noys participation in next years (2014) BFA Annual Conference in Hainan, China in order to avail of a rare opportunity to articulate Philippine interests from center stage with comprehensive international media coverage.

An army trooper and two government militiamen were killed in a New Peoples Army (NPA) ambush preceded by a series of landmine explosions in Samar province, the military said Saturday. A report from Colonel Dante Barotilla, Commanding Officer of the Armys 52nd Infantry Battalion, 8th Infantry Division (8ID), said his men were doing routine security operation at Barangay Tigbawon, Gandara town around 6:30 a.m. Thursday when a villager came to the government troops and informed them of the presence of NPA insurgents at a nearby barangay. The insurgents were said to be removing posters of local candidates and replacing these with posters of partylist candidates sympathetic to their cause. The troops led by Sgt. Ronald Dalumpines then went to the adjacent barangay but soon as they arrived at the area, three landmines exploded followed by a volley of gunfire resulting in the death of one soldiers and two militiamen. Despite suffering casualties, the gover nment troops exchanged fires with the insurgents numbering around 30. A 30-minute battle ensured until the government troops until the NPA were forced to withdraw with their casualties in tow. Barotilla said the incident will not stop the military to go after the NPA insurgents not only to honor the sacrifices of our fallen comrades but more importantly to keep our communities of peaceloving people secure and away from harm. The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has repeatedly condemned the use of land mines by the NPA, which has resulted in the death of 113 people and wounding of 262 over the past 10 years. A report recently released by the AFP Public Affairs Office (PAO) headed by Col. Arnulfo Marcelo Burgos, Jr. said a recent study com-
pleted by the military on the atrocities of the NPA sho we d tha t o ve r the past decade, the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) has perpetrated 107 landmine and IED attacks. The AFP noted that the use of landmine and IEDs are usually followed by NPA ambuscades, which are prohibited tactics long practiced by the insurgent group since the beginning of their armed violence.

Man, Woman Murdered In Cavite

INDANG, Cavite A man and a woman were found dead, each with bullet wound in the head, at KaytambogPulo River of this town last Friday, police said yesterday. The two corpses were discovered by passersby and barangay (village) officials in the area. The shooting remained a mystery as no one could tell who the perpetrator was and the motive of the attack. The mans body was discovered submerged in the river while the woman slumped on the nearby bank. The twin find was reported to the police station by Kaytambog Barangay Captain Simeon Romen at 7:30 a.m. Friday Case investigator Police Officer II Marvin Earvin A. Baybay identified the woman victim as one Merry Fe Minion Gan, 35, a native of Lugsa, Binugasan, San Agustin, Romblon. The male victim remained unidentified. Baybay described him as between 35 and 40 years old, about 54 tall and with fair complexion. The two victims were mercilessly shot by their assailant in the area as two .45 cal. shells were found near their bodies. A Scene of the Crime Operation team came to help Baybay in the investigation. Town Police Chief Jigger Noceda ordered a thorough investigation of the incident to identify the shooter. The bodies of the two victims were brought to Funeraria Mabini, also in the municipality, for autopsy. (Anthony Giron)

KIDAPAWAN CITY, Cotabato A 20-year old parish worker died while 18 others were injured when the vehicle carrying them collided with another car while negotiating a curve along the highway in Tacurong City, Sultan Kudarat, yesterday morning. Superintendent Junny Buenacosa, chief of Tacurong City Police Station, identified the fatality as Angelita Ceballos Kim, worker of Sta. Teresita Parish in Datu Piang, Maguindanao. Kim, seated next to the driver, died instantly due to severe head injuries from the crash that happened at 6:45 a.m. yesterday, according to police reports. Injured were Alimodin Yusop, driver of a passenger Town Ace with license plate MEV 351; Julieta Rillon, 48; Jonaida Laureta, 54; Boy Mastura, 15; Rommel Balte, 34; Reniel Ceballos; Honey Leah Ceballos; Antonio Torre, Sr.; Lydia Draper; Gloria Vasquez; Carmen Medellin; Flordeliz Manlugan; Jessica Tomas; Daniel Vasquez; Reyna Draper; Teresita Faustino; and a certain Kagui. Victims were rushed to the Tamondong Hospital, Saint Louie Hospital, and Quijano Hospital, all in Tacurong City. Rillon, one of the severely injured, was immediately transferred to a hospital in Davao City for further treatment. Buenacosa said the victims, all on board the Town Ace, were on their way to attend the Thanksgiving mass of Oblate priest Daniel Pacate in Barangay Kisante, Makilala when the accident happened. Pacate is one of the newly-ordained missionaries of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI). The vehicle collided with a blue Toyota Hi-Lux pickup truck driven by Jereca Paredez. Also onboard the Hi-Lux was Cody, Paredezs child. Both also sustained injuries, reports said. (Malu Cadelina Manar)

Mountains of Antique
My World in a Flashpack Emmie Abadilla
ould you like to sleep inside a vortex? With a smile, my Iloilo host, a member of the healing group, the Brotherhood of Jesus, showed my friend Lily and me the guest room of his home outside the city. It looks like a dormitory with powder blue walls, bunk beds, a mini-altar and huge windows that open into a copse of warped-trunked trees in a garden overlooking the mountains. However, Brother Jessie unknowingly built the room smack in the swirling center of powerful psychic energies. Guests who stayed here reported distorted vision, images morphing and otherworldly creatures appearing. Its more of a portal, his wife corrected. We think spirits access the earth plane from here - elementals, mostly. But they dont stick around. They just pass through. I shrugged. Ive lived in a vortex at the foot of Mount Banahaw as a child. Shadowy forms flitted across my peripheral vision as I surveyed the room but I was too tired to bother. Anyway, I know they cant do anything to me. In the meantime, Brother Mar, the group leader, suggested we stay here while they treat Lily. Its most convenient, just one ride away from their chapel.

Although their products are made to suit all skin types, shades, colors, and the design of the brand surely do well in celebrating Asian features, spirit, and style. 10 Years With The EyeCon Aside from the companys 30th birthday, it is also celebrating 10 successful years in the Philippines. Perhaps it is because of this reason that Kakuyasu Uchiide agreed to have the Philippines as one of the only two Southeast Asian countries to include in his tour. Before the said event, I have heard of a rigorous training with selected inhouse makeup artists and Uchiide is said to employ such a calm and easy style, without losing sophisticated artistic expression. Seeing the eye-con himself up close and personal, he seems to be just as simple, relaxed, and 30 Years of Shu Uemura, from left: 1968 Flaggy on Jasmin Maierhoffer by Patrick Alcober; 1968 Peacock gracious to acknowledge on Lou Munoz by Claire Diokno; Masquerade on Michelle Panemanglor by Cathy Cantada; 1968 Deux on Petra everyone.

omeone just turned 30, and thats Shu Uemura! The big Japanese brand to revolutionize the way makeup is done and beauty enhanced in the whole of Asia, is on their third decade of spelling the artistic difference. To celebrate, Shu Uemura Philippines friends and partners were invited to an intimate dinner at the Mango Tree. After which, a brief program was held to showcase what Shu Uemura is all about: breaking rules, defying boundaries, and creating beauty like no other. A Night of History Everyone was required to come in their striking 60s look, and in that alone I was already having so much fun. But Shu Uemura isnt only fun but mainly full of history and art. The program actually commenced with its International Artistic Director, Kakuyasu Uchiide, painting the word dream in Japanese characters, on blank canvas. This was to say that the dream began with Mr. Shu Uemura, but continues to live on until today. And then starting off with their first ever mode makeup called flaggy, the audience was taken through a journey of 30 years of beauty as they witnessed the best all time looks of Shu Uemura, explains Product Manager, Karen Crisostomo. The highlight of the program was, of course, Kakuyasu Uchiides live makeup exhibition with his newest artistically designed, 60s inspired, eye-conic collection. I have never

Antony Morato Launches At Hyve

an introduction to Antony Morato (AM). Since its founding in 2007, AM has experienced meteoric growth, spreading from its flagship store in Milan to over 3000 boutiques across 49 countries. The brand owes its rapid expansion and popularity to its youthful design philosophy, combining luxury aesthetics with an easy-to-wear vibe. Some of the countrys top male models including John Hall, Andrew Wolff, and Jon Avila took to the four-point, multi-tier ramp alongside special guests Chris Everingham and Harry Morris of the Philippine Volcanoes, establishing stylish tableaus at each area before heading back to the dressing room. Rocker chic, sleek minimalism, and hipster glam were among the myriad looks represented onstage, showing the brands versatility while staying true to its Italian roots. The show ended with models heading to the ramp with their clothes in hand, and then dressing up as a seven-second countdown flashed on screens around the club. In a mere seven seconds, the men were in effortlessly cool outfits just as

am so curious about the brand Antony Morato, the Italian menswear brand that just debuted in the Philippines. It is a relatively new brand and I suggest you watch out for it because the brand actually has very wearable clothes for men. The launch at the newest party place in town, Hyve, was a jampacked affair, dotted with so many fashion icons, and the metros fashion citizens. Injecting its irreverent, yet undeniably fashionable personality into every aspect of the show, the clothing company debuted its latest collection on a unique four-zone ramp at the heart of the club. The highlight of the show was a replication of the brands famous 7 Seconds or Less campaign, wherein underwear-clad models put their outfits on in just seven seconds right on stage. Backed by music from DJ Emel Rowe, vivacious host, my favorite Joey Mead greeted guests with
Clarisse Chiongbian Gutsy Tuason and and Bubbles Bermudez Audrey Carpio
quickly as AM took the fashion world by storm. It is such a shame the ABSolutely gorgeous bodies of these male celebrities had to be covered in seven seconds. A little longer of an eye-candy show wouldnt hurt! Other fashionistas I spotted in the crowd were fashion designer Rajo Laurel, entrepreneur and Ateneo classmate Raymond Rufino with wife and my neighbor Anna PalabyabRufino. Internationally acclaimed creative director and advertising man Manny Del Rosario, interior designer Nix Alanon, model, host, travel endorser Rovilson Fernandez, and talented singers Erik Santos and Rachelle Ann Go were also among
the beautiful crowd. With Antony Moratos top-of-theline apparel as sartorial inspiration, Metro Manilas fashion scene is bound to explode with smartlydressed men unafraid to experiment with their looks. Thanks to the brands excellent designs, it can happen as soon as seven seconds from now. Antony Morato is available at U/G Activity Center, Expansion Building, Alabang Town Center. Antony Moratos Makati branch will soon open at G/F The New Glorietta in Ayala Center, Makati City. Fo l l o w m e o n t w i t t e r @ iamheiding

(Cont'd from page G-1)
Just leave the lights on, our host advised when we turned in for the night. Lily stretched out opposite me, eager to talk about the first day of our bizarre adventure but I was knocked out as soon as I hit the sack. In the morning, she told me I fell asleep as she talked and the light turned itself off soon after. She flicked the switch on again but in a few minutes, it snapped off once more. Terrified, she pulled the sheets over her head and prayed until daybreak. Needless to say, Lily was so relieved we were going to Antique next. There, she soaked in the natural cold springs of Villa Valderrama as part of her treatment while I hunted for talismans in the mountain forests and unearthed raw jasper and bloodstone near the streams. Back in Iloilo after a while, our life merged with the rhythm of the Brotherhood. We joined them for daily morning prayers, the Angelus and evening mass. They resembled most church groups, except for their talismans. Brother Mar rose at half past one each morning to pray for the sick and to meditate. He received Holy Communion daily as part of his devotion. In the chapel, he supervised the groups free healing sessions for the public, seeing to queues of patients that seemingly never end. A mother brought in her 12-year old son, fearing hes demon-possessed as he alternated between muttering to himself and shouting gibberish. I reckoned hes just a nut case. Sometimes, a nervous breakdown masquerades as a possession and vice versa, Brother Mar conceded. One housemaid, possessed by a lustful elemental in a banana plantation, woke up to her bed shaking every night and had spontaneous whip marks on her body but showed the classic signs of the mentally disturbed, such as hearing voices inside her head. Her employers committed her to a mental hospital where she stayed for a year but doctors cant find anything wrong with her. A relative referred her to the Brothers who cast out the spirit over a month of healing sessions and she recovered. Hearing this, Lily was most intrigued and wanted to see the group exorcise demons. But authentic cases are quite rare. And Brother Mar warned, Its not like a movie where you can just sit in and watch unprotected. You can
get possessed too, if you dont watch out. Its very dangerous work. Only the most senior members attend to the possessed and a priest specializing in exorcism is often summoned. Casting out demons takes many days and victims can suffer relapses, in which case the process can take months. Aside from extraordinary physical strength, the victims show deep foreknowledge of the private lives, sins and transgressions of whoever tries to exorcise them. The devil broadcasts your inmost thoughts and fears in public and mocks you with them. What you saw in the Exorcist film is true, except for the head twirling part, a la Linda Blair. Weve not seen that yet. But they have witnessed abrupt facial transformations in the demonically possessed, unexplained appearances of bloody whip lash-
Philippines has another New Jerusalem, its in Panay, he claimed. Whats more, Iloilo lies in the heart of its mystic triangle, taking in the confluence of psychic energies. Mentor and protg also discovered troves of talismans in its forests which not even rebels operating there can molest - magical trees penetrating rocks and other trees - lusot and palms bearing eyeless coconuts or libon. But while Brother Mar was Tatangs favourite student, they quarrelled a lot because the old man refused to give up incantations, power words and Latin mumbo-jumbos. I want a pure form of Christ consciousness, not black magic, Brother Mar insisted. It took decades to perfect his God-centered orientation. Then he realized he can use his power not just for self-protection but also for healing others. Eventually, he claimed he ac-

tinued tending to the sick from his wheelchair. From the way Brother Mar described the old babaylan, Id surmise Tatang Luis was a sponge healer who absorbed the negative energies and the sickness of his patients. He died on his 75th birthday, on the date he wanted, though his chest remained warm for three days. Rose petals reportedly rained from heaven when they buried him. Its a manifestation of a fallen angel who wants to be noticed, some claimed. But Tatangs protgs were too busy squabbling over who will

es or scratch marks in the body, nails lengthening right before their eyes, illiterate victims speaking in tongues. Oh yes, Brother Mar nods solemnly. The devil speaks Latin. It took him many years to prepare for such spiritual warfare, he stressed. Together with his babaylan mentor, Tatang Luis, he meditated in the mountains and caves of Panay to store personal power. So many mystic places lay hidden in the island group and they have explored most of them. If the

The difference was, Brother Mar never had to enter an altered state of consciousness to access his psychic gift. In contrast, his mentor healed countless people though he was unable to cure himself. A stroke paralyzed the old man though he con-
take his shamans mantle by then. Eventually, his followers splintered into two factions. Brother Mars rival stuck to the old mans babaylan ways and gave the group another name. In addition, they recruited a medium to contact Tatang beyond the grave. While the rift between the factions never healed, both groups wear the trademark talismanic rosaries on their necks. In the chapel, I watched the Brothers hand-craft their prayer beads. While they swore by its pow-
er, I believe talismanic objects are just channels. At best, they can amplify your energies or concentrate them but they cant give you what you dont have. Brother Mar maintained he was never tempted to use his psychic powers for personal gain, nor did he encourage his sons to aspire for his mantle. He never runs out of money from his small machine shop, anyway, and God has been good to him. As for Lily, she never went under the knife after her healing sessions with the Brotherhood though her spine didnt straighten by itself. Shortly after, she married and had a couple of kids, which Manila surgeons told her was impossible in her condition. Before we left their enclave, Brother Jess made me a gift of the groups trademark rosary. Its centrepiece was the root of the magical lusot, the glowing tree in the mountains which showed itself to me. So you wont forget Antique, he told me. And so that I may never forget Iloilo, Brother Mar gave me a libon eyeless coconut of my own to protect my home. You live alone, so you need this, was all he said. Strangely, the prayer beads like to go with me in my travels. So far, I havent been killed yet. The eyeless coconut, I placed on my altar, along with the stones I found in the mountain streams of Antique and the others I picked up all over the world. Im quite fond of my termite-infested, matchbox-sized digs, though it floods every time it rains and I was nearly incinerated in it, three times at least. My neighbourhoods quite exciting too. Almost all the households in my floor had been robbed. A man was battered to death a few doors away in an unsolved murder and a woman in the next unit killed herself. But then, I love living dangerously and the libon seems happy keeping me company.

Dumaguete:
many educational institutions established in the area like the renowned Siliman University, Negros Oriental State University, Foundation University and St. Paul University Dumaguete. As the main seaport and transportation hub of Negros Oriental, with easy ferry access from nearby provinces in Central Visayas, the city attracts a huge number of European, Japanese, Korean, as well as domestic tourists from all over the country. Usually, visitors would start their itinerary with a city tour of Dumaguete passing through Siliman University, the iconic Rizal Boulevard and the Dumaguete Bell Tower, the oldest belfry in Negros Oriental. According to locals, Dumaguete has some of the cheapest food fares in the country. In standard restaurants, a full meal with dessert can cost as low as R50.00. In hawker food stalls found around the city, R100.00 is enough to feed three people. But of course, tourists should not leave Dumaguete without trying the

n eclectic mix of landscape, waters, historic landmarks, natural resources, culinary finds and the nicest, friendliest people - Dumaguete is a destination all its own. For all its diverse offerings, its a shame some Filipinos still cant place it on the map. Truth is, to the well-traveled, mostly well-heeled travelers, Dumaguete is a preferred, albeit low-key, destination. In fact, tourism in the City of Gentle People is far more robust than more popular neighboring destinations Bacolod and Iloilo. Yet people wont see imposing billboards of touristic sites or kitschy tourist traps scattered in the city. The laid back beauty of Dumaguete speaks for itself. Its like a well-kept open secret and it seems like the Dumagueteos as well as the hundreds of expats living in the city want it to stay that way. Located 641 kilometers south of Manila and the capital city of Negros Oriental, Dumaguete is primarily known as a university town because of the

It is good sometimes to be alone; not to be lonely, but to find ones self in silence. Unknown
must have book for players in the tourism industry, from the DFA to tourism establishment owners, students and teachers is Robert Lim Josephs newly launched book, Guide for Global VIPs. Bobby is a multi-awarded tourism advocate who travels the length and breadth of the country in his untiring quest to promote tourism and educate the stakeholders to be better prepared and thus be more productive. He is, incidentally, our lone Exemplar awardee for Private Sector Tourism in our Bulong Pulungan annual search for outstanding individuals and institutions. His goal is to make available to all concerned, some 10,000 of his latest production which details rules for office, food, culture, etiquette guides and signposts in dealing with global VIPs. His long-time friend, Fareed Schoucair, general manager of the New World Hotel (which now enjoys a consistent 100 percent occupancy), hosted cocktails at the beautiful Glass House in his hotel for the launch of the book and it was star-studded with tourism personalities and diplomats, as Bobby is an honorary consul. We also re-discovered old friends there, like ex-PAL president Jimmy

As Area President Brent H. Nielson puts it, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints puts the family unit as a top priority in their beliefs and this would explain the launch of their yearly project, the recognition of individuals in different parts of the world who promote positive family values. Their partners, according to Haidi Fajardo, Area Director for Public Affairs, are from the National Committee on the Filipino Family of
the DSWD, Family Network (FamNet), some of our media and NGO friends, and representatives from the Church led by the First counselor in the Area Presidency, President Nielson. The Family Values Award (FVA) is given by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to recognize the honorable efforts of moral, upstanding community leaders who are striving to advance standards and values. It is given to community leaders in Asia, Europe, Australia and the United States and is open to persons who are not members of the Church. Any person or organization can nominate a candidate who is qualified based on the criteria. A candidate will be chosen to receive the award and he/she will be given the opportunity to invite 50 of his/her family members, friends and colleagues. The Family Values Awards ceremony will be held on the last quarter of the year. A nominee must be a Filipino citizen who has lived in the Philippines

for at least five (5) years at the time of the nomination. Nominees must be legally and lawfully married to spouses. Single persons can also be nominated. Nominations will be accepted until July 30, 2013 I found it interesting that two former awardees work hand in hand with the local Catholic Church; one, Atty. Jo Imbong is legal officer (pro bono) of the CBCP and the other, a former UNICEF Manila chief of the Child Protection Unit, Leopoldo Moselina, is active with his parish church. The other past awardees are former DSWD Secretary Lina L aygo, chairperson of Family Network, and Monde Nissin, a food company promoting eating meals with the family as a means to unite its members with the slogan, Kainang Pamilya Mahalaga. We all were given, aside from
nomination kits, a backpack containing survival items. By experience, in their work with disaster victims in the country, the Church elders know that it usually takes about three days before government and other institutions are able to provide rescue and relief efforts to disaster victims. We know that family preparedness is of paramount importance as we equip our families especially with the coming typhoon season, explained Haidi. Inside the blue backpack we found crackers, bottles of water, canned goods, noodles, a flashlight, a whistle, first aid kit, etc. Really very thoughtful. Also a first in Bulong for this year, live chamber music courtesy of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The Aces Strings played beautiful music setting the mood for a lively and incisive discussion on family values.

juice has been shown to effect type-II diabetes. It has been used for centuries in the folk medicines of China and India to combat diabetes. Argwal and colleagues directly examined the link between pancreatic cancer and bitter melon. Its a very exciting finding, Agarwal says. Many researchers are engineering new drugs to target cancer cells ability to supply themselves with energy, and here we have a naturally-occurring compound that may do just that. Bitter melon also regulates insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells. The mouse model of pancreatic cancer was fed bitter melon juice after studies of cell cultures were done. Compared to the control group, the mice fed with the bitter melon juice were 60 percent less likely to develop pancreatic cancer. ANTI-DIABETES According to a study conducted at Naresuan University, Thailand, bitter melon has a modest blood sugar-lowering effect. In the study published in the "Journal of Ethnopharmacology," participants with type 2 diabetes received either bitter melon or the diabetes drug metformin. A dosage of 2000mg of bitter melon caused a significant reduction in fructosamine -- a measure of blood sugar levels. BREAST CANCER Another study, conducted at Saint Louis Uni-
AMPALAYAS HEALING POWERS HAILED WORLDWIDE

versity, St. Louis, Missouri, showed that breast cancer may be prevented by bitter melon. The findings, published in the March 2010 "Cancer Research" journal, indicated that breast cancer cells treated with bitter melon extract showed significant decrease in cell reproduction and increase in apoptosis -- programmed cell death. Bitter melon also inhibited the enzymes survivin and claspin, which promote cancer cell growth. The researchers concluded that bitter melon represents a useful dietary supplement for the prevention of breast cancer. WEIGHT LOSS Bitter melon may aid as a natural method of weight management. A study conducted at the University of Hawaii found bitter melon juice a potent inhibitor of fat production and stimulator of fat burning. In the study, published in the June 2010 "BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine," human fat cells were treated with bitter melon juice at different stages of growth. Immature and mature fat cells showed marked reduction in lipid content. Mature fat cells also showed increased lipid breakdown. The researchers recommended bitter melon as an alternative therapy to promote fat burning. ANTI-VIRAL, ANTI-TUMOR Bitter melons anti-viral and antitumor properties stem from proteins that suppress DNA replication, according to a study conducted at Punjabi University, Punjab, India. The proteins, called ribosome inactivating proteins, have been shown to inhibit HIV in both recently and chronically infected cells. They also have a synergistic effect when used in combination with antiviral drugs. The authors of the study, published in the December 2009 "Current Molecular Medicine," note that bitter melon is non-toxic to normal cells and shows promise as an anti-cancer and antiviral agent. AMPALAYA INVADES USA Americans are now becoming familiar with bitter melon as a vegetable, thanks to the popularity of food programs on TV. In addition, use of natural herbal supplements has also become widespread, in part because of the back-to-nature trend. Fresh ampalaya fruit are now available in mainstream supermarkets alongside familiar items like eggplants and tomatoes. For convenience, many take ampalaya in the form of supplements such as capsules or as teas. In this field, several Filipino brands have penetrated the market and enjoy the patronage of loyal users. MARKET LEADER The most popular, Ampalaya Plus, is now marketed in the US and several other countries, and could be ordered online. Ampalaya Plus Capsule has been in the market for more than 10 years. In addition to ampalaya, it contains Banaba and Luyang Dilaw (turmeric). It has undergone double blind study clinical trial conducted by UP College of Medicine, published online at the website www.gonatural.com.ph. It costs R7.50/capsule. Especially formulated for children is a new product, Ampalaya Plus Junior Capsule (R6 per capsule), containing Ampalaya, Malunggay and Luyang Dilaw; developed for kids seven years old and above and for adults who may not have diabetes but would like to get the benefits of Ampalaya daily. UNBITTER TEA There is no hint of bitterness in Delite Ampalaya Plus Herbal Tea, a zero-calorie healthy alternative to artificially-sweetened drinks. It aids with one's digestion and has all the added benefits of Banaba, Luyang Dilaw, Kalamansi and green tea in a convenient powdered tea format, R8/sachet.

esearchers at the University of Colorado Cancer Center have just confirmed ampalayas curative powers, something Asians have known for thousands of years.The study, published in the journal "Carcinogenesis," reveals that bitter melon (ampalaya) juice restricts the ability of pancreatic cancer cells to metabolize glucose, thus cutting the cells energy source and eventually killing them. Rajesh Agarwal, PhD, co-program leader of Cancer Prevention and Control at the CU Cancer Center and professor at the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, explained that the new study goes much further than earlier researches, which had shown the effect of bitter melon (scientific name Momordica Charantia) extract on breast cancer cells only in a Petri dish. We show that it (bitter melon juice) affects the glucose metabolism pathway to restrict energy and kill pancreatic cancer cells. Pancreatic cancer is typically preceded by diabetes, and bitter melon

citys signature food offerings like Sans Rival (a cake made of layers of crunchy meringue, sandwiched with butter cream, topped with cashew nuts), Silvanas (a delicacy made of frozen buttercream sandwiched between two layers of cashew and meringue wafers), and tempura, a popular street food named after the deep-fried Japanese fare but is actually similar to the Chinese kikiam. Dumaguete is also the gateway to nearby towns and islands of Negros Oriental that are dense with natural sites of interest and marine diversity. For dive enthusiasts, the city is just a quick boat ride to Apo Island and Sumilon Island, two of the Philippines most popular dive spots. Beach lovers, on the other hand, can find a slice of paradise on the seven kilometer Manjuyod White Sand Bar, located in the town of Manjuyod. The sand bar is a two-hour drive from downtown Dumaguete. Stilt houses found on the sand bar are available for rent for tourists who want to stay the whole afternoon or spend the night. Boatmen also offer to temporarily anchor or park by the sandbar as guests swim, snorkel or laze around the sand. Meanwhile, nature lovers can try an adventure hike to the Twin Lakes of Balinsasayao, tucked away in the hills of Sibulan. A good 45-minute drive from the city, the winding road will lead visitors to the extensive rainforest ecosystem that surrounds the twin lakes, Lake Balinsasayao and Lake Danao. The eco-parks cool mountain air is perfect for kayaking, horseback riding and trekking. Other nature lover spots found in the Dumaguete countryside include: Mag-aso Falls, Red River
Sta. Monica Beach Club

Valley Falls and Red River Rick Hot Springs. When it comes to accommodations, Dumaguete offers a slew of tourists inns, dive resorts, pension houses, boutique hotels and beach clubs one of which is the recently re-opened Sta. Monica Beach Club located in Banilad, Dumaguete City. Formerly owned by Japanese expats, Sta. Monica Beach Club used to be a run-down dive resort that caters to Japanese divers. Recently acquired by the Amorita group, the beach club now has a warm and cozy atmosphere, artisanal furnishings, a restaurant, deluxe rooms and beach houses, and amenities that cater to families, couples and companies. With the same level of exquisite customer service, were bringing the Amorita experience from Panglao
Island to Dumaguete, said Amorita Resorts managing director Nikki Cauton. According to Sta. Monica Beach Club resort manager Cita Alcantara, even before Amorita acquisition, the beach club has been a popular wedding and events place for locals from Cebu, Bacolod and Dumaguete. But now that we renovated the place, more guests are staying for two to three nights to enjoy the pool and the spectacular view of the sea and the sunrise, Alcantara said. We can also arrange day tours for guests who want to explore the many sites of Dumaguete for minimum charge inclusive of transportation and personal butler service. To know more about Sta.

Anne Curtis Regrets Having No Time To Audition For US Series Hannibal

Text and photo by BHENJ AGUSTIN
ctress Anne Curtis is truly thrilled to have been acknowledged by Hannibal creator Ben Fuller via Twitter as amazing when it was suggested that she auditions for the show. Thats about it, though. Unfortunately, yung commitment ko sa Its Showtime, hindi pa puwede, hindi pa right time (to audition for a cameo role sa Hannibal). Wala pa akong time magawa yon and thats a giant leap because it would be a giant leap to leave what I have here, she told Bulletin
ANNE CURTIS
Entertainment and other members of media at the press conference for Wrigleys Doublemint Gum, which she endorses. Having been in local show business for 16 years now, the actress would rather maintain whatever success she has here, earnestly wishing that this is where I end my career. Still, she hopes to be able to audition for international shows someday, saying that would be a dream come true. Ever optimistic, Anne even pointed out that Hannibal has just started anyway so hopefully I will be able to get in if and when tries out for any part on the show that has still a long way to go.
Going by her track record, that dream seems not impossible at all. In the past, Anne had been openly saying that she wanted to become a recording artist even when she admits to not being the best singer around. Years later, she got signed by a label, which released her album that got an award for outstanding sales. I think I was very, very lucky that natanggap ng mga tao yung hindi talaga ako singer yet I was given the opportunity to perform and have this first major concert. But as I said and Ill always repeat this Im not a singer, Im a performer. I like to entertain people. I like entertaining, not necessarily with perfect
voice but I carry the same passion as an entertainer, she said. And Anne has not stopped improving on her singing skills by taking voice lessons regularly. I believe hindi naman ganun kapangit yung voice ko. I believe kahit paano nag- improve! Kahit paano nasa tono naman ako, she said. Her acting career also took off in recent years especially with the movie No Other Woman that broke box office records. Anne remains a fashion icon and she is the Pinoy celebrity with the most following on Twitter. As tribute to Annes success, her wide array of horror, romantic, and comedy films will air the whole month of July on Cinema One, the country's leading cable channel and the official media partner of Doublemint. Included in the roster of movies to watch out for are Wag Kang Lilingon, All About Love, Babe, I Love You, and Ang Cute ng Ina Mo.

A d e c a d e o f wa n t o n and illegal logging leaves the watersheds of Sibilan vulnerable when a major Rocco Nacino storm hits. The result: A massive flash flood that causes the death of hundreds of civilians. How Mayor Joseph Santiago and his staff respond to the disaster, even with their own families in danger, paints a moving picture of what political leadership can be. Tackling issues almost never touched by mainstream dramas bureaucracy, corruption, education, bidding for government projects Bayan Ko, throughout its run, has managed to exceed target ratings for the channel and bring in a whole new audience to GMA News TV. The groundbreaking series ends this Sunday at 7:15 p.m. only on GMA News TV Channel 11.
UST A THOUGHT: Always choose to heal, not to hurt; to forgive, not to despise; to persevere, not to quit; to love, not to hate.
EXPLAIN MARIONETTERY: Comedian-ventriloquist Wanlu (short for Juancho Lunaria) never ceases to reinvent himself and the art of puppetry that he so dearly loves and promotes. After becoming a Hall of Famer on Talentadong Pinoy (TP) as a ventriloquist, he recently performed on Pilipinas Got Talent (PGT) Season 4, showcasing a different talent of his, which is marionette manipulation or marionettery. Not a lot of people know the difference between the two puppetry arts, so Wanlu decided to humbly set aside his Talentadong Pinoy Hall of Famer status and showed the nation the art of marionette manipulation by joining Pilipinas Got Talent. Ventriloquism, he explains, is the art of throwing ones voice, while marionettery involves the manipulation of puppets using strings. On Talentadong Pinoy, he wowed the entire nation with his comic lines and ventriloquism skills that involved script writing, puppet manipulation, talking for two puppets with minimal mouth movement and even singing. After winning five consecutive weeks using different characters headed by Nicolo and Congressman Dom, Wanlu was named the shows second Hall of Famer. REMEMBERING DOLPHY: In PGT, he made Filipinos cry as he performed with his Dolphy marionette as a tribute to the late Comedy King. Dolphy sang Handog to the delight of viewers everywhere, live, on

WANLU with puppet Dolphy: Talentadong Pinoy na, Pilipinas Got Talent pa
TV and online. PGT judge Ai Ai de las Alas cried, claiming she missed Dolphy. Kris Aquino and Freddie FMG Garcia commended Wanlus marionette manipulation and were both impressed how Wanlu made the puppet come to life. When asked why he was not included in the 36 quarterfinalists, Wanlu simply said, Its the story of my life and added that he does not want to speculate. He joined PGT to pay tribute to Dolphy and the art of marionettery. Wanlu added that whats important is the fact that Tito Dolphy continues to touch lives and that he is honored to be a part of that legacy in his own simple way. He is also grateful for the chance to show the nation another form of puppetry aside from ventriloquism.
INTERNATIONAL PUPPETRY FESTIVALS: Wanlu is so driven to promoting puppetry that he has been representing the country in different puppetry festivals everywhere. His next stop together with his puppets is at the World Puppet Carnival in Indonesia in September. He also took part at the ASEAN Puppetry Festival in Malaysia in 2011, and the International Marionette Festival in Vietnam where the Philippines got a silver award. Wanlu also participated in the ASEAN Puppetry Festival in Singapore last year. Follow Wanlu and his Puppets on Facebook and visit their website at www.wanlu.net. (nescuar@yahoo.com)

been given. Its a blessing to see our planet. Jay realizes the responsibility that comes with being a mainstream act, knowing that a lot of impressionable youth comprise his audience. When asked about his parameters in making music, he shares, I try to write music that actually matters. (Music) that can evoke a mood and change someones day. Music that could be the soundtrack to someones situation in life at that moment in time. As he is now increasingly focused on production and writing songs for other artists particularly for hip hop dance group Justice Crew Sean never forgets his first love rapping, which has made him a recognized figure in the showbiz industry: My roots are in hip hop and it will always be a passion of mine. The R&B star also actively forages for talent, and speaks highly of our resurging local hip hop scene. There are so many talented emcees in the Asian scene. I have seen them come up. I scour the web for talent all the time and I have come across so many amazing Filipino singers and rappers. Im excited to learn more about the talent there! He recently signed the Internet
sensation prankster crew The Janoskians to his own company Kamouflage Entertainment, which he describes as just a place for dopeness to exist. He is about to release Neon, his fourth studio album, on May 21, featuring its first official single, Where You Are. He was joined by the Metros hottest DJs Zombettes, Callum David,
Mars Miranda, Funk Avy and Martin Pulgar at the Nestea Beach Victory party, which was held on the last of the three days of back-to-back summer partying. The event finally ended the two weeks of an intense volleyball tournament, sizzling beach parties like paraw sailing, and refreshing activities like a beach cleanup.

CELEBRITY WORLD CRISPINA MARTINEZ-BELEN
Lovi Versus Jennylyn In Regals The Bride & The Lover

2010, Ligtas is geared towards promoting environmental awareness. Flash Mob Dance For Erap, Isko Students from different schools in Manila recently staged a dance flash mob in a busy intersection near Manila City Hall to drum up support to the mayoral candidacy of former Pres. Joseph Erap Estrada and his running mate, Vice Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso. Dancing to the tune of Fred Panopios Pitong Gatang, the more than 300 students began the routine at the corner of Arroceros and Natividad Almeda-Lopez Sts. at the back of Manila City Hall. The event showcased the youths belief that the former chief executive will bring changes to Manila, according to Kabataan Ng Jeep ni Erap leader Marlon Villanueva. We come from different schools and universities and we observed that we have a common candidate for Manila. So instead of wasting our time in the mundane, we decided to hold this exciting flash mob dance routine to support Erap and Isko, Villanueva said. Flash mobs actually have many forms, one of them being the lighting rallies, usually conducted by some left-leaning youth organizations. The term as well as the routine also gained more mainstream prominence thanks to a US television show called Mobbed. We adopted the dance routine since a lot of us are into the performing arts. I wish that more youths will join us in the future, Villanueva said. He added that clips of the flash mob may be viewed and accessed through www.erap.ph. Tidbits: Happy b-day greetings today, April 21, go to actor/TV host Luis Manzano, former Pangasinan Gov. Rafael Colet, colleague Ricky Lo, Kathleen Hermosa, Wilma A. Sarino, Marivic Rufino, Imelda Bermudez-Livioco, Lillian Lazaro, Hermie Hermano of Cabuyao, Laguna, Katrina Katkat Gonzalez, Dr. Bon Malvar, Randy A. Zacate, Marlon Dionela, Robert James Wood II and Suzette Morelos
egal Entertainments The Bride & The Lover is a highly anticipated movie, made truly exciting thanks to its two female leads Lovi Poe and Jennylyn Mercado, who compete with each other in baring and being daring. Of course, they also try to outshine each other, acting-wise, in their respective roles. Set to open in nationwide theaters starting May 1, viewers are warned not only to watch out for Lovi and Jens heated encounters but also their confrontation scenes as they play two women determined to win the heart of the leading man, award-winning actor Paulo Avelino. For Lovi, she knows that baring skin when needed reflects her maturity as an actress. She has done this in her pictorials for magazine covers and, of course, in her past movies under Regal like My Neighbors Wife and Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, among others. But more than the showing skin, however, viewers have seen Lovis depth and passion for her craft a fact that did not go unnoticed by the various award-giving bodies that have recognized her acting mettle. Jen, on the other hand, has maintained her svelte figure even after giving birth to her son Jazz, and this is why many still find her very attractive and with a strong sex appeal. In The Bride & the Lover, Vivian (Lovi) is sole heir to a business empire. She has a friend, Sheila (Jennylyn), who is a lifestyle editor. Philip (Paulo), meanwhile, is the hottest bachelor in town who is engaged to Vivian. But on their wedding day, Vivian creates a big scandal by revealing Sheilas affair with Philip. With each of their worlds torn apart, both Vivian and Sheila leave the country to forget, while Philip is left alone. He gets sick and when Sheila returns, she took pity on Philip and they reconcile. Vivian returns to find out that Philip and Sheila are about to marry. She hatches a dark plan and befriends Sheila once more; but the tables are turned around when the supposed bride becomes the lover, and vice versa. Find out what happens in The

CANNES BEST Director Brillante Mendoza and Senator Loren Legarda
Best Director Brillante Mendoza once again collaborate in a project that is close to their hearts. This time, it is for the instructional documentary
film Ligtas. The instructional documentary tackles the required survival kits and the precautionary measures to be taken by families and residents during natural calamities like typhoons, floods, landslides, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis. It highlights the importance of protecting and caring for the environment in order to minimize the occurrence of such calamities. Sen. Loren noted the importance of mans role in preserving and protecting the environment and mankind as a result. She said: Ang instructional documentary na ito ay isang maliit ngunit mahalagang bahagi ng isang malawak na usapin tungkol sa tamang paraan ng pagharap at paghahanda sa mga kalamidad na hatid ng biglaang pagbagu-bago ng panahon. Mendoza, for his part, said his understanding of climate change was deepened by his experience of making the film and his collaboration with the senator. Humahanga ako kay Senator Loren dahil consistent ang pagtulong niya sa pangangalaga sa kalikasan at sa mga vulnerable na kumunidad, he added.

Two More Filipino Films Cannes-Bound
DEATH MARCH stars Zanjoe Marudo, Sam Milby, and Sid Lucero, among others (Photos from director Adolf Alix, Jr.s Instagram account)
By ROWENA JOY A. SANCHEZ
ilms from acclaimed Filipino directors Adolfo Alix, Jr. (Death March) and Lav Diaz (Norte, Hangganan ng Kasaysayan) will be showcased at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. The lineup of films taking part at the prestigious, nearly seven decadesold festival was unveiled Thursday via the Cannes Twitter account. Death March and Norte are two of the 14 films under Un Certain Regard, regarded as one of the most important sections of the Cannes Official Selection, which focuses on works that have an original aim and aesthetic. This is the second time that an Alix film made it to Cannes, the first time was in 2009 with his film Manila, which he co-directed with Raya Martin, with Piolo Pascual leading
its cast. To God be the glory. Our labor of love DEATH MARCH will premiere in the Un Certain Regard of the Cannes Film Festival 2013, Alix wrote on his Instagram account. Starring Sam Milby, Zanjoe Marudo, Sid Lucero, Jason Abalos, and Carlo Aquino, among others, Death March is a historical film on the fall of Bataan during the Second World War. Meanwhile, Norte is Diazs Cannes debut. The four-hour film is relatively shorter than his previous works such as Melancholia, Ebolusyon ng Isang Pamilyang Pilipino, and Batang West Side, with running times ranging from about five to nine hours. Danish director Thomas Vinterberg leads this years jury of Un Certain Regard, which will be opened by Sofia Coppolas The Bling Ring. The Cannes Film Festival will run from May 15 to 26. Come May 25, the
Prix Un Certain Regarded will be awarded. Meanwhile, three local films are included in Cannes Short Film Corner. These are Carlo Francisco Manatads Oasis Redux, Aiess Alonsos Katapusang Labok, and Roderick Cabridos Mga Engkantong Laog sa Mahabang Dapithapon. Ekstra, the Cinemalaya film festival entry starring Vilma Santos and which was submitted to Cannes for consideration, did not make it to the lineup. As posted in the films Facebook page on Thursday, a number of the committee members liked the film but after the final voting held last sunday over more than 5000 films, it failed to make the cut this, according to an email from a programmer and member of the cannes selection committee. The team behind Ekstra, nevertheless, remains optimistic that the film will go places internationally.

o competition can r un smoothly without mechanics and rules that contestants and judges must follow. But sometimes, as in any production, things happen beyond anyones control that necessitates bending some rules in order to address a particular concern that crops up unexpectedly. Usually, these are not known to the viewers. Lets take a particular audition in this new singing competition. According to contest rules and mechanics, contestants (CO) who pass the first part of the audition would have the leeway and luxury to choose whom they want to mentor them for the duration of the contest. The judges, being top-notch artists, appeal to the contestants - except for one (M1). During the taping, no one chose to be mentored by M1. It was really a very awkward situation not only for M1, but for the rest of the judges, who felt that something was not right. Needless to say it was both difficult and embarrassing for M1 and production was so bothered by the situation that they felt they had to intervene.
After a meeting, the rules were adjusted. The solution? The contestants were asked ahead of time that they must choose M1 as mentor. It worked: In the next round, M1 was able to get a fair share of the contestants who chose and liked her to guide them along the way. So that's it. Production had to balance things out by injecting something that's alien to all. It was weird and unheard of, but it had to be done whether anyone likes it or not. Its a dog-eat-dog world, and Im just a kitten. ~ Jarod Kintz Dinner To Go Beauty icon (BI) is getting the flak for being a major turn off to the production team (PT) and her co-stars during taping days of their teleserye, where she seemingly abandoned acceptable behavior and acted deprived. During taping, the food prepared on every set is usually just enough for the stars, staff, other talents, cameramen and technical people. The people on set, however, get turned off with BI because as soon as food gets laid on the table, she makes sure to get to the table
master, indeed! Some insiders think she might do better going to a relative who, in fact, owns a restaurant and go straight to its kitchen to devour everything there for all her hearts content. Dont reserve your best behavior for special occasions. You cant have two sets of manners, two social codes one for those you admire and want to impress, another for those whom you consider unimportant. You must be the same to all people. ~ Lillian Eichler Watson No Longer Keen On Being Friends

way ahead of everyone else, filling up containers with food to take home. For her pets thats her justification and alibi. Lucky pets, indeed, as they get the best portions and untouched food meant for the entire production crew that sweat it out on the set. Anyone worth her salt will not even come close to thinking of doing what BI does shamelessly. It becomes especially embarrasing, though, when you are found out that you are feeding your doggie loot not to your pets at home, but to your house maids, driver, etc. Aww, such a very kind and thoughtful
Celebrity host (CH) and popular makeup artist (PM) were once bffs (best friends forever) and were inseparable. For more than a decade, PM did all of CHs personal and professional makeup needs, and accompanied her everywhere she went. They treated each other like family, like sisters, with CH giving PM her all-out support both personally and professionally. To people around them, CH and PM helped each other in many ways. PM earned big from being CHs personal makeup artist. Whether it was an agreement they both had, being exclusive to each other was an arrange-
ment that seemed to work very well for both of them. Or so PM thought. Apparently, even the strongest of relationships break. While CH was comfortable with such arrangement, it wasnt always the same for PM. PM allegedly felt that there were many missed opportunities as she tagged along with CH day in and day out. She felt trapped in CHs world. After all, she is a celebrity stylist whose services are sought after by the rich and famous. PM got paid R7,000 (studio rate) for every makeup booking she had with CH. However, she can charge as much as R25,000 for bridal makeup at weddings. Thats where trouble began. PM resorted to some white lies to service others outside of CH, either because she couldnt ask her or did not want to hurt CHs feelings. This happened regularly. When told about it, CH expressed sadness, saying that she would have understood if she were told the truth. One day, PM called in sick and told CH she would not be able to come and do her makeup for an event. CH said okay. At the event that night, CH met a veteran actress (VA), who was her close friend. CH complimented VA for her very nice makeup. CH was shocked with VAs proud reply: Oh yes, this was done by PM, no less! That was the last straw. CH is now happy with a different makeup artist. A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow. ~ William Shakespeare

At Least Three GMA Shows Confirmed To Go Off Air Soon

The occasion was for the monthlong celebration of the Daragang Magayon festival, which started April 1. We saw firsthand how the province of Albay, under Gov. Salcedas leaderhsip, gave importance to their culture and celebrate its richness by hosting different activities for and by the people and their guests. Gov. Salceda is very well-loved by his kababayans and we are a witness to their good words and appreciation for their public servant. Thats why it was no surprise to us when we heard that he was running uncontested for his third and final term as governor in the May elections. While in Albay, we felt and tasted the beauty and flavors that the province has to offer. The majestic Mayon Volcano, perfect in every sense, inspires a sense of gratitude; its so beautiful, you wouldnt get tired at gazing at its magnificence no matter how many times you see it. The Cagsawa Ruins, where a portion of the churchs bell tower remains after the 1814 eruption of the volcano, inspires nostalgia and is still the perfect photo op area with Mount Mayon as backdrop. The ATV Adventure Ride through the lava trail brough us to the portion of the mountain they call Green Hill. This rough ride is one for the adventurous at heart. The Lignon Hill gave us a view of the entire province while enjoying fresh buko juice and ice cream in the hot afternoon. Though we failed to see the caves the province is quite known for, the trip also brought us to the posh Misibis Bay for a day of leisure and nature tripping, and yes, catching up a little on work. The food is another glorious aspect to our trip. Gorging on spicy Bicol Express, pinangat and inihaw cuisine, we were certain we all put on a little weight because of the gastronomic delight the governor made sure we were treated with while there. We will always have fond memories of Bicol and we dont doubt that we will keep coming back to it in the future, telling our friends and families what a beautiful destination it is. Gov. Salceda is right in saying that like the volcano the province is famous for, Albay is rising.
ow we understand why there is so much information available to the media about the supposed latest fling of this actor to a showbiz newbie who reportedly caught his fancy from their first meeting. We heard from sources that this newbie is being managed by this publicity-hungry showbiz wannabe whose main tactic for stardom is for his ward to be linked to a bigger star. This was his idea, too, when he tried to help one politician get the publics attention by linking him to a female TV host. The idea fizzled out in the end and is predicted to also be the end of this latest coupling that he is clearly masterminding. An important actor is reportedly being weighed down by physical fatigue for working on a soap and being on the set almost every day. The source said his soap is supposedly ending in May but network management has pushed it back to June. But confidentially, the actor is said to be giving up on the project as soon as his contract ends in May. Now, its up to the executives of the network to find ways to convince him to stay. If our source is right, at least three shows in GMA will be off the air very soon. We heard that Manny Pacquiaos Para Sa Yo Ang Laban Na Ito, Eugene Domingos Celebrity Bluff, and Regine Velasquezs Sarap Diva will soon bow out, one supposedly because of poor ratings, so the management opted to cut its losses. Regines show will be axed after the singer filed a leave of absence supposedly to rest her voice, we were told. According to our source, Ogie Alcasids transfer to TV5 is already a sure deal. The singer-comedian is onto his last assignment hosting a sponsored game show on GMA-7. After this, the source told us, there is no immediate plan for a show anymore fanning rumors that indeed, at the end of his contract next month, Ogie will already be inking a contract with the Kapatid network. Diana Zubiri is on her last year taking up Theater Arts in Miriam College. As part of her curriculum, she is undergoing 100 hours of on-the-job training on GMA7s Eat Bulaga, a show on which she was a former cohost. The actress, who will soon be part of ABS-CBNs Juan Dela Cruz, is having fun as a production assistant on the show, happy to be reunited with most of her friends in the show. She tells us it gives her a lot of nice insights being on the other side of the fence working behind the scene.

No Film Bios For President Estrada... Yet Former President Joseph Estrada is not likely going to allow anyone to film his biography any time soon. Buhay pa ako. Ayaw ko pa nang ganyang project about my life. Siguro pag namatay na ako, puwede na, he said during his press conference. Pres. Erap, answering questions why he chose to run for mayor in Manila, said, I want to spend the last years of my life serving my kababayans in Manila because thats where I was born. He also said that Grace PoeLlamanzares can expect his support in her candidacy. Mahal ko si Grace kasi anak siya ng best friend ko na si Fernando Poe, Jr. Susuportahan ko pa rin siya but only in my personal capacity kasi my party has already withdrawn its support of the guest candidates, he clarified. Setting the record straight regarding his son Jake Ejercitos relationship with controversial young actress Andi Eigenmann, Pres. Estrada said, Hindi ako nakikialam sa love life nila. Never ako nakialam... Hindi rin totoong may mga sinabi kaming ayaw namin sa kung sinong girlfriend ni Jake. Alam nila yan.

They grew up in the tropical island of Honolulu in Hawaii and hail from a family of musicians. The group recently released its debut single, Come Back, and are not just making waves in the music industry, they have also signed on with U.S. cable network WE tv for their own reality series that follows the girls as they make the big move from Hawaii to Los Angeles to pursue their dreams. They chose to represent RDS in the Philippines because of the brands practical but sophisticated selection that go well with their diverse lifestyles and personalities. We are four different women who have four different things going on in our lives, but were all headed toward the same goal, says Jaime Kailani in a recent interview. Hopefully we can be inspiring to women. Jaime Kailani prefers earth tones and a more toned down look. Tahiti, meanwhile, is the sexy siren of the bunch and is not afraid to show some skin. Tiara channels her inner rocker chic with a wardrobe full of studs, spikes and practically anything black. Presley is the quintessential urban chick
who is not afraid to mix it up with the latest trends.

A GENTLEMAN BANNED. Korean governmentowned TV station KBS has banned the airing of Psy's Gentleman music video on its channel for featuring what is seemingly an ungentlemanly deed direcred at an object. In the video, the Korean pop sensation is seen kicking a no-parking traffic cone, deemed as destroying public property. In a statement, KBS explained that its review standards are different from those in online or cable channels. This is because network TV is watched by everyone regardless of gender and age. Infants or children havent fully developed a standard for judgment and tend to believe and follow whats shown on television, it added. YG Entertainment, Psys agency, is not too keen on appealing KBS decision. KBS made the announcement April 18, the same day that Gentleman debuted at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The video is likewise an unstoppable force online, with nearly 160 million views since premiering on YouTube on April 13. (Report by Jonathan M. Hicap)
Kris Reveals Details Of Ai Ais Wedding Entourage, Prenup With Hubby

By ROWENA JOY A. SANCHEZ
few details of Ai Ai delas Alas and Jed Salangs planned December wedding have already surfaced, thanks to the formers good friend Kris Aquino. The TV host-actress excitedly revealed on Kris TV recently that she will be the maid of honor at the wedding, with her son Bimby as ring bearer, and her sister Ballsy AquinoCruz the matron of honor. Eugene Domingo and Sharon Cuneta will likewise be part of the entourage. Ai Ai had also wanted to have
President Noynoy Aquino as one of the principal sponsors, Kris added. Ang problema pala I didnt know this ha theres pamahiin pala na pag hindi ka pa kinakasal, huwag ka pumayag na mag-ninong o magninang kasi never ka na makakasal. Tapos si Noy, sabi sakin, Tell her (ask for) anything else, huwag lang yon. Sabi ko, 'Uy umaasa pang ikasal! Kris admired how Jed and his family initiated a prenuptial agreement between him and Ai Ai, who has three kids two with ex-hubby Miguel Vera. Noong namanhikan yung family ni Jed, (sabi ng) mommy ni Ai Ai, Sana may prenup para mapangalagaan naman yung mga apo ko.
Yung stepfather ni Jed ang nagsabi na hindi lang before the marriage (but) for the entire time. In other words, the prenup will cover not just what Ai Ai had, dahil naipundar niya bago sila ikasal, but all the way (to) the very end," Kris explained. At ang sinabi (ng stepfather) niya ayaw niya na may manahin si Jed, na dapat kung ano yung kay Ai Ai, dapat sa mga anak ni Ai Ai; at in the future kung mag-adopt man sila or magkaron sila ng anak nila doon lang daw (may mamanahin). Sabi ni Ai Ai ay nabilib daw yung nanay niya talaga dun sa prinsipyo na ganun. Ai Ai and Jed had a civil wedding last April 3 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Yeah, were very happy about it, Holland said, going on to relate how surprised they were to learn Perfect had earned them fans even outside of their native Australia. Now the band is excited to meet their Filipino followers, having signed on to be part of Wanderland, a music festival to be held May 18 at the new Globe Circuit Events Ground in Makati. Headlining is the band The Temper Trap, famous for their big hit Sweet Disposition, among others; Neon Trees, who rose to popularity with Animal, Everybody Talks and 1983; and Nada Surf, whos responsible for the 90s coming-of-age track Popular. Other acts slated to perform at the event are New Zealand-based folk group Avalanche City, and the female-fronted indie quintet from Melbourne, Tully on Tully. Homegrown talents are well represented at the gig as well with the participation of Up Dharma Down, Taken By Cars, Pulso, Yolanda Moon, a n d

Shes Only Sixteen. Were excited to be part of this, we hope our fans in the Philippines would come out to see us, Holland said, sharing that among the songs that they are going to be playing at the event is their new single, the upbeat Hold Tight. Holland and Commandeur earned their wings as members of the ARIA Award-winning pop group Operator Please, which has notched several hits on its own since its formation in 2005. But according to Holland, as much as he is happy with the success they earned as members of Operator Please, he is also quite proud of what they have achieved so far as Colour Coding. Weve been playing together since we were kids, Tim and I, and we always wanted to do something on our own. Proof is basically the result of that. Does this signal the end for Operator Please? (The band) is still together. Its just on a hiatus. Everybodys just taking a break but we will be back together again soon.

THE GREAT DEFENDER. They may be going through a rough patch but this didnt stop Jaypee Santos from standing up for his ex-girlfriend Janine Tugonon amid the flak she got after announcing, , seemingly without regret and with nary a trace of sadness, their split in a joint guest appearance on national TV. On Twitter, he appealed to people to stop taking sides on the issue, maintaining that nothings going on between his sweetheart and The Script vocalist Danny ODonoghue, whom she met during the bands second Manila concert. He did admit that Janine got confused during those times. Nevertheless, no actions have been made beyond that attraction. The breakup, Jaypee pointed out, is not because (of) the other guy, but has 'a deeper story' underneath. Truth be told, that other guy issue has already stopped, Jaypee said. We're focused now on the both of us. Perhaps the script will change and give them a happy ending! (Report by Rowena Joy A. Sanchez) (Photo from Jaypees Twitter)

How many days can you survive without drinking? Without eating? If theres anyone who means anything to you, then it has to matter to you. There are some things you have to address, and you will go to the ends of the Earth to find a solution.

ts easy to feel a little pessimism when it comes to the state of the Philippine environment. Aside from two successive groundings at the countrys famed Tubbataha reef, the past few years has seen the country bear the brunt of the effects of climate change. From such huge events like Ondoy and Sendong, to anomalies like last years surprising strong moonson rains and Pablos unexpected detour through Mindanao, it seems like there is no relief in sight for the country when it comes to climate and the environment. But for World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF-Philippines) president and CEO Jose Ma. Lorenzo Tan, optimism is never in short supply. Despite the fact that Tan gets to see up close the many problems plaguing the countrys flora and fauna, he believes that all is not lost especially for the Filipinos. Some people have told me, after Ondoy, after Pepe, after Sendong, parang itinakwil na ata tayo ng Diyos. I tell them, alam niyo, baliktad. Mahal niya tayo, he says. Tikim lang po yan. Pinakita niya sa atin kung ano yung puwede mangyari para mapaghandaan natin. Para sa akin, sagisag yan ng pagmamahal. Tan maintains that there has been success even in the face of such destruction and devastation. Earth Hour, the annual initiative that calls on households and businesses to turn off their nonessential
lights for one hour to raise awareness about the need to take action on climate change, has become a bigger and bigger event each year. Beyond the media mileage that the event generates, Tan says that people have been eager to learn what more they can do beyond the Hour. He cites companies like Manila Water, which has the best practices in Southeast Asian for water management and sewage, and El Nido Resorts, which just won the Tourism for Tomorrow Awards for community work. Even huge multinational companies like Lafarge Cement and Coca-Cola are doing their part. Tan says that Lafarge Cement here in the Philippines has not only found a way to dispose of municipal waste; they have learned how to use it as fuel. For its part, Coca-Cola is looking at how it can manage its water footprint. Even more encouraging, according to Tan, is the fact that one does not have to be a multinational company to do something about climate change and the environment. There are simple things that Filipinos as young as 10 can do in their everyday lives that can help stem the damage wrought by climate change. I was once presenting on climate change to a Grade Five class and they asked me, What can I do? And I said, fix your room. Does he leave the lights on and his laptop running when hes in the room? If you do, theres something you can do. How long does he take in the shower? Twenty minutes or five? If you take 20 minutes, theres something you can do, he says. Listening to him talk, it is indeed not hard to feel the same optimism that Tan feels. In this 60 Minutes conversation, Tan talks about the strength and resilience of Tubbataha, the small but effective ways that we can protect our environment, and his unflagging faith in our capacity to survive. Humankind is amazing. We have taken ourselves, over the last 500 years, from what was virtually the Stone Age to where we are today. I am positive, I am optimistic, because there is no species on Earth that has shown the capacity for adaptation that humankind has. We have done amazing things. I still believe that to be true, he declares. (RONALD S. LIM)
THE Tubbataha Reef Photo by TOPP2X
STUDENTS AND CAMPUSES BULLETIN (SCB): Just days after the USS Guardian was extracted out of the Tubbataha reef, here comes another Chinese vessel that ran aground. In the past, many other ships have also had similar incidents in these protected waters JOSE LORENZO TAN (JLT): You know, whenever you want to solve a problem and aim towards a lasting solution, you look at the root cause. In the previous administration, the DFA (Department of Foreign Affairs) tabled a proposal to delineate what they call archipelagic sea lanes in the Sulu Sea both horizontal and vertical. They sent the coordinates to Congress and this required ratification because this was part of our commitment to the United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). They didnt give a chart, they just gave coordinates. So we charted their coordinates and we showed Congress that their proposal was to plow the sea lanes through Tubbataha and Apo Reef. We told them this is not good enough. Give it to somebody who understands the value of these and
ships in the entire Sulu Sea, and in the entire Philippines at any one time, on your laptop! The Philippine government wouldnt pay for it, its the ship owner who has to pay. And it can be made a crime, or an administrative violation, if any ship goes without VMS. Kung wala kang VMS, you cannot sail. Easy. The Coast Guard can then inspect a boat before leaving the port, Saan ang VMS mo? Kung gumagana, patakbuhin mo, ipakita mo sa akin. SCB: So they cannot anymore use as an excuse Coast Guards lack of resources to patrol these waters? JLT: All you need is a laptop (laughs). Okay, archipelago tayo. But this is the 21st century. Kung mga paraang makaluma ang palaging binabalikan natin, alam mo nung panahon ni Magellan, nung pumunta si Legazpi dito sa Maynila, wala pa tayong kalye nun. EDSA was the Pasig River. The plaza, the mall, that was Laguna de Bay, and all the towns were located around it. Babalik ba tayo dun? May SLEX (South Luzon Expressway) na tayo diba. Thats what Im saying. Lets get some fresh thinking here. Lets look at the root cause and figure out how we can address this technologically, based on what is cost-effective and what we can afford today. I believe the government does not have to spend a
the policeman at wala kang rehistro? This boat didnt have papers! So do you think it had any intention to follow our rules? Wala. You can never legislate or regulate to cover 100,000 percent because reality is not a level field, its a slope. There will always be pickpockets, there will always be slashers, there will always be murderers, there will always be corrupt people. SCB: So how can the VMS work in that instance? JLT: The moment walang VMS ang boat, huli na yan, anytime, anywhere, in any form, even if its in the middle of the sea. You cannot solve 100 percent, but all the law-abiding, registered commercial ships sakop na yan. We have radar in Tubbataha. One of the things we will be installing in the new radar station is a satellitebased system so you can also track. You can compare the blips you see on the radar screen and the blips you see on your VMS. And if there are more blips on the radar screen than on the VMS, that means theres somebody there.
200 to 300 tons of fish per square kilometer. In a healthy reef, its only 30 tons. Tubbataha is 10 times more. There is so much
tershed conservation? JLT: First of all, many people are doing a lot of good work, and I dont want to diminish the value of what theyre doing. However, the approach being taken is very, very chop chop. If done properly, the management of water is the management of the entire ecosystem. And the ecosystem is a catchment, from ridge down to reef. You have to do things like improve the

fish. The scientists who did the assessment told us when they went there and saw the sheer density of fish attacking the lumot, they said tatlong taon lang ito. Whats our basis? In 1997, 50 percent of Tubbataha was bleached by El Nio. Fifty percent in three years, back. In five years, better than before. So we have data that shows that Tubbataha can do this. That was 50 percent of the park or 5,000 hectares. This is one-fourth hectare (laughs). Kumbaga sa bata, galos lang yan. But some people asked, so why did you make such a big stink out of it? Precisely because the issue here is food security, its not tourism. Those people say yung mga mayayamang turista lang naman ang makakapunta at makakakita sa Tubbataha. But thats not the point. The point is yung mga kumakain ng isda! Tubbataha sits in the middle of the Sulu Sea, its a 262,000square-kilometer area. But because its currents are influenced by the winds of amihan and habagat, Tubbataha scatters its larvae of fish throughout the reefs of western Mindanao, Palawan, Mindoro, Negros, Panay, and TawiTawi. How many hundreds of thousands of people depend on fish from Tubbataha? Thats the issue there.
knows how to find the solutions. Whats your alternative? We are not the experts, we dont claim to be the experts, but diplomats should not be drawing maps. We know that. You should be talking to shipping companies, public-private endeavor. I think after that type of reaction, they hesitated. I think, as a result, the whole initiative just faded away. So bottomline is, the matter of sea lanes is unresolved. Can you imagine Metro Manila if we didnt have roads and we are allowed to drive wherever we wanted to go? Can you imagine NAIA if the planes are allowed to go whichever way they want once they take off? It would be a mess! Thats whats happening in the Sulu Sea. This is a leftover from the previous administration. It is a failure not only of the executive but also the legislature. Someone suggested lets put in marker buoys, and I told Sec. Abaya that this is an outdated and expensive idea. Why should we be paying for it? Instead, all commercial fishing boats must have on-board what they call a Vessel Monitoring System (VMS). It is GPS-based technology so a ship broadcasts through the satellite its location at any time. You can monitor the movement of all VMS-equipped

cent. Anytime, they give that excuse, ako as a taxpayer, I begin to wonder. Ano yan gagastusin mo na naman yung perang binabayad ko? And I think thats our right. If you go to the supermarket or a mall and you buy something thats broken, torn, rotten or is not working, dont you have the right to complain? Dont we have the right to complain if government does not spend our money judiciously? I think we do. SCB: For Tubbataha, some are saying that maybe the buffer zone needs to be increased. JLT: I think that again is an old school idea. Its already 100,000 hectares. The reef is 10,000 hectares. How much bigger will you make it? Those guys who ended up in the reef did not go through normal procedure where they are told what to avoid. The US Navy thinks their maps were so good; it turns out their maps were faulty. They felt their navigational procedure was foreign but the result was their staff doesnt follow the procedure. So was the problem the map? No, the problem was management. In the case of the Chinese, did you know that this boat did not even have papers? Imagine if you get caught by

to pay for itself. We have to learn how to produce more with less because that is the future. That is the truth of a climatedefined future. TURN ON TO THE FUTURE SCB: How about the locals? Are they becoming more responsible and caring of their towns and cities? JLT: Once again, you are seeing a slope in terms of increased responsibility, increased concern. I dont want to generalize on this but I think the young generation get it. But the old generation continues to stand in the way. Who calls the shots? And the message Im getting from young people to my generation is please get out of the way (laughs). I credit our educational system and to some extent, media, for being able to lead our younger generation along a more sustainable path. Not all, but many young people get it. I cant say the same for my generation. Many of them still dont know what Twitter is (laughs). SCB: With Earth Hour, do you see a change happening among young people? JLT: Absolutely, because they get it. We all know that turning the lights off was never the end goal of Earth Hour. Earth Hour is really turning on to the future. Understanding that we are at the cusp of a new economic order where the food we eat, the water we drink and bathe with, and the energy we use will all come from different sources, hopefully more sustainable. The way we access our jobs, our schools, the way we move our cargo, the way learning, not simply education, but the way learning is transmitted, all of that is changing. And thats the message of Earth Hour, turn on to the future because this is a race. Matira ang matibay pero kung sino ang mauna, siya ang bida, diba! And as a Filipino, Id like to see my country in that position. Pero mabilis naman ang pick-up natin, magaling naman tayo kumopya. So why not show the world we know how to do it? WORKING TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT SCB: Aside from Earth Hour, what other lower-key grassroots things is WWF-Philippines doing to bring home this message of conservation and sustainability? JLT: We have projects on handlinetuna in Mindoro, Albay, and in Ilocos. Why are we promoting handline tuna? Because we know General Santos was a mistake. They wiped out their tuna. So did Davao. The tuna you see being landed in General Santos today comes from Papua New Guinea, from Palau. Thats not Filipino tuna. SCB: Ubos na? JLT: Ubos na! Zamboanga, gone. From tuna, theyre down to sardines. And that is a mistake. Weve seen other

tuna stocks, and we know that in these places, they dont have commercial fleets. So we now encourage the small fishermen to continue handlining for tuna. We encourage them by first helping them with things they need like sorting tables, getting ice, strengthening the supply chain. Second, we give them access to markets with our offices in Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK. We are shipping tuna to these places by air. Those fishermen used to earn R120 a kilo, now they getting R220 to R280 a kilo. Before, the head of the boat owners association in Donsol, Sorsogon, only had one rotten fishing boat. Now, he has three boats, the latest of which he paid for in cash worth R1.2 million. The head of the Butanding Interaction Officers sent four of his kids to college. The bottomline is, the work we do is not just on wildlife. Donsol is an example. We look at conservation and the human footprint. What am I talking about? You cant just look at the source. Many conservation groups simply look
at the source. In other words, lets look at the forest, lets look at the rivers. Lets look at use, otherwise source makes no sense. How do you use the water, how much of it do we waste? How much of it do we actually need? Do you know that we get a 146 billion cubic meters of rainfall out of which 106 billion ends up on the sea. We only capture 40 billion. We should have no water shortage. But of the 40 billion that we capture, we lose half of that to systems loss. Thats a management issue. We dont have a water shortage problem. You have to look at the whole thing. And thats how we do our work. I use six words, we look at source and use, supply and demand, today and tomorrow. And if you look at those six words, they define sustainable development. DOING YOUR PART SCB: Is it hard to be optimistic about the future of the environment when situations are like this? JLT: I dont think so. You know why? You have no choice (laughs). If there is anyone who means anything to you, your child, your nephew, your girlfriend, your mother, then it has to matter to you. Some of the conservation imperatives involve resources we cannot live without. Let me pose to you a very direct question. How many days can you not survive without shampoo (laughs)? What if you had no water? How many days can you survive without drinking? Without eating? We have all gone through some point where youre out somewhere and no choice ka na hindi maligo. Lets say your grandmother was living with you and she was sick and you had no water. Its hard. There are some things that you have to address, and you will go to the ends of the Earth to find a solution and make sure they are comfortable and healthy. There are some things that will change. I was once presenting on climate change to a Grade Five class and one of the kids said, Sir, Im 10 years old, what can I do? You could see fear on his face because I showed him the scenarios. I said, Fix your room. Does he leave the lights on and his laptop running when hes in the room? Does he leave the charger on? If you do, theres something you can do. How long does he take in the shower? Twenty minutes or five? If you take 20 minutes, theres something he can do. Does he segregate his own trash or does he leave it to his yaya? If he doesnt do it by himself, then theres something
he can do. In this world, good ideas spread virally. The next thing he should do is infect his sister and get her to do the same thing. Thats something he can do. Humankind is amazing. We have taken ourselves, over the last 500 years, from what was virtually the Stone Age to where we are today. I am positive, I am optimistic, because there is no species on Earth that has shown the capacity for adaptation that humankind has. SCB: If were so good at adapting, why do things like Ondoy and Sendong keep happening to us? JLT: First of all, ibat-ibang lugar ng Pilipinas was hit. Second, in the case of Pablo, wala namang bagyo sa Mindanao nung araw. Bakit natamaan? One basic characteristic of climate change is inter-annual variability. If you were to build a house or building on stone, it will be a very stable building. But if you were to build that same building or house on sand or mud, it would not. Climate change is like building a house on sand that has water in it, that has been hit by an earthquake, and that liquefies. That is what climate change is like. Every year is going to be different, and the impacts are not uniform. They are site specific. What happens in Mindanao will be different from what happens in Manila. We are dealing with a creature that is changing form every time it shows itself. Thats whats happening. Why do we keep on getting hit? Thats the nature of climate change, and it will get worse before it gets better. I keep on telling people that. Please dont underestimate it. Never forget Ondoy, and never forget that it will get worse. That was not the worst. I told this young person who asked me if were going to lose our oceans, I said no. Dont be so presumptuous. The oceans were here a million years before us, and they will be here a million years after us. But it will change. And the person who first understands that change and adapts to it will be the person who will thrive. Since nangongopya lang tayo, kanino tayo kokopya? Hanggat hindi natin maranasan ang ibat-ibang hugis ng climate change, it will take some time before we understand it. But there are examples we can copy from. For example, Guam has a very effective and well-designed civil defense network system for earthquakes and typhoons. Its something we can
copy. SCB: Are your efforts towards climate adaptation gaining traction? JLT: Yes. Especially in the work we did with the Bank of the Philippine Islands focused on business risks and opportunities. The response were getting from the business sector, from chambers of commerce is very, very positive, because nakikita na nila. In the case of communities, were doing it in Mindoro, Davao, and in a number of places. The planning envelope that were using is the ecosystem, the catchment. In the case of a community, disaster response is the easy stuff. Climate adaptation is difficult. Doable, but difficult, because it requires people to change the way they think. It requires people to reexamine long-held beliefs, na ang tag-ulan ay ilang buwan, na ang tag-araw ay ilang buwan, at kapag nagbago yan, they have to be willing to accept it. Even well-educated people find that hard to do. And if your whole life depends on the way youve been working for the last two or three generations, its hard when somebody tells you to change. SCB: How effective are your lectures and programs in schools? JLT: Its only as effective as the leaders of those schools, as the resources put into changing things. The difficulty of responding to climate change is that it requires the management of change. People tend to be resistant to change. When you work in a nice air-conditioned office with lights, why should you change? What I encourage city planners and government to do is to induce and steer change rather than be a victim of change. Which is better? For people to be victimized by bad weather and climate and being forced to relocate, or to establish a city in the right way, with the right services, right roads and right rules, and get people to realize na maganda yatang lumipat dito? Thats what I mean when I say that the response to climate change should involve the management of change. Because that requires a change in structure, which will then lead to a change in behavior. And a change in behavior leads to a change in attitude, which ultimately leads to a change in values. But it must start with structure. And unless we learn how to do that more and more, many of our countrymen and colleagues will find that theyll get left behind.
Standing up for the planet

What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery? Not for me. Im an optimist. I always look for the good side. What is your idea of earthly happiness? To see a significant number of people all over the world standing up for the planet. Where would you like to live? Palawan, Puerto Princesa. Who are your favorite characters in history? One of my great heroes was Jacques Costeau. He opened my eyes to the ocean. What is your favorite preoccupation? Work (laughs). Living well. How would you like to die? Quickly. What do you value most in your friends? Lightness. Ayoko ng taong mabigat. If you could invite five people, dead or alive, to dinner, who would they be? My current batch of friends (laughs). A meal is made by the company you keep in that meal. Its not what you eat, its who youre with. Even if it was somebody I truly admired, but I didnt know, malay mo, masungit pala (laughs). Iimbitahin mo pa ba? Mabuti na segurista.

ITH the Philippines receiving an investment grade rating from New Yo r k - b a s e d d e b t watcher, Fitch Ratings, as well as the expectations of continued economic growth in the next three decades, todays young Filipinos are set to play a big role in the countrys economic development. Helping these future entrepreneurs and businesspeople prepare for the future is Philippines Y2B, the local adaptation of the Global Youth to Business Forum. Going on now for four years in different countries across the globe, the forum intends to provide the youth and the business sector a platform where they can exchange socially-relevant ideas that can influence the society in a positive way. Organized by the worlds largest youth-run organization, AISEC, the Philippine Youth to Business Forum (Y2B) was held at the National Institute of Physics, University of the PhilippinesDiliman and was attended by 200 business students from prestigious schools in the country. Unlike other youth summits, the Y2B for um is focused not on social organizations but on business institutions, shares AIESEC Philippines p r e s i d e n t - e l e c t Au d r e y E l u m b a . Through this forum, a dialogue between the youth and the business sector is made possible, giving the student leaders a chance to share and discuss fresh ideas and innovative solutions to current world issues with bigwig businessmen.

responsibility. You are in-charge. You will have to make it (economic growth) happen. You will have to make sure that we are the 16th largest economy in the world, Azurin added. Elumba closed the forum by gauging the delegates decision-making and leadership skills. These skills were later honed through various workshops conducted by Marylou Gomez and Kriska Centeno, representatives from Del Monte Philippines; Vince Golangco, president and editor-inchief, WhenInManila.com; and Ron Acoba, technical analyst, Trading Edge Consultancy. NOT YOUR USUAL YOUTH SUMMIT As the next generation of corporate leaders, it is a good opportunity for these students to be able to consult with those who made it big in the industry as these experienced individuals could tell them what the journey would be like and give them advice. The platform is highly collaborative so it enables an opportunity for an exchange of ideas. Its not really like a seminar where we give lectures. Its up to them to interact further, says Elumba. Through the workshops and discussion forums conducted by a team of speakers who are experts in their respective fields, AIESEC hopes that the conference has enhanced the delegates knowledge and that they have come up with more innovative thoughts and ideas for the corporate world and the society.

key themes of leadership, innovation, and social responsibility and had three components: a topic space in the morning, a consultancy fair during lunch, and workshops in the afternoon. Jakub Czerwinski, AIESEC Philippines vice-president-elect for Business Development, opened the topic space with his talk on social responsibility. According to him, social business is a venture based not on earning money but on doing good. Earning in this business, he adds,
comes only secondarily. Czerwinski ended his talk by encouraging the delegates to go out and do good. To reinforce the social business topic, Teach for the Philippines Recruitment and Matriculation associate Vincent Yu, introduced the Philippine franchise of the global Teach for All initiative. This organization advocates for the best students and educators from universities to teach for two years in public schools in order to help address the problem of the growing number of school drop-outs in the country.
Freelancer.coms country manager Jojy Azurin, meanwhile, encouraged delegates to start their own businesses as early as they could and gave a few reminders. He told them that its better to fail while you are young, than when you are already old, to take advantage of the Philippine economy growing better and better, and most importantly to change the rules of the market. Youll be manning this country and this economy for the next 30 years and Im reminding you of the
hat do the cities of Davao, Tagaytay, and Santiago have in common with towns like Villaverde and Tubigon? They were all singled out as the most child-friendly towns and cities in the annual search spearheaded by the workaholics of the Council for Welfare of Children in tandem with the education and health ministries. The winners had already been known as early as November but the recognition rites were only held in the swelter of election summer. Hence, the midterm polls must have snatched most of the winning mayors away from the ceremonies. Second-time awardee is the quiet town of Villaverde, formerly a barrio of Solano in rustic Nueva Vizcaya whose vision it proudly states as a green world for the brighter future of children. Environmental protection is in fact a rallying cry in the local government unit. The amiable Mayor Ronelie Valtoribio was happy to announce that on account of her having propelled the once sleepy town to national prominence through a slew of awards, she is running unopposed. The municipality of Tubigon had
Saluting the countrys most child-friendly towns and cities

waited for the award for years even if the town and all its component barangays had already assigned child protection as a major priority thrust. Unique to the town is the Child Advocates Society of Tubigon (CAST), a platform that allows local children to express their aspirations and sentiments. How CAST runs is, however, a mystery. Santiago City mayors representative at the awarding must have been so overwhelmed at the prize that she mistakenly acknowledged Secretary Mar Roxas as vice-president and referred to CWC as the Council for the Welfare of the Philippines. It was prophetic. A countrys overall condition can usually be gleaned from the welfare of its children anyway, the city administrator candidly shared that department heads in her city pool their efforts dedicatedly to ensure that they are honored annually in the presidential prize that was started during the Estrada presidency. It was Davao Citys city schools superintendent who received the award because Mayor Sarah Duterte had just given birth. To the city, it was sweet victory after a decade of attempting to bag the prize. The education officer explained that the enormous land area covering their highly urbanized city made it even more

challenging to push child sensitivity in governance. The humblest acceptance speech came from Tagaytays Mayor Abraham Tolentino who won as the most childfriendly component city. The mayor admitted that they had already gotten used to being runner-up in the derby, and that they were already content just serving their children. We did not withdraw our efforts even if we were already a second place hall of famer, he jested, to the chuckle of the crowd. Leaving the ceremonies, we could not help but naughtily wonder why a hall of shame was not put in place to announce the notoriety of towns and cities which make life hell for the children in their areas.

his coming midter m elections, we are required to elect 12 senators and 229 district representatives. But do you know who you should vote for in the Senate and in Congress? To guide you in choosing the right candidates for the job, here are the roles and functions of our senators, district representatives, and party-list representatives which were published in the Gov 101: A New Voters Guide to the Philippine Government published by Kaya Natin! Movement for Good Governance and Ethical Leadership, and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom. SENATORS 1. Pass bills beneficial to the people and amend those that have become obsolete or irrelevant. 2. Hold power to approve, suspend, or disapprove bills passed by congressmen. 3. Hold power to impeach government officials through a decision made by two thirds of the Senate. 4. Discuss and craft the final plan for the national budget ratified by the Lower House, before it is passed on to the President. 5. Ratify or repeal treaties and international agreements even when approved by the President through a decision made by two thirds of the Senate. 6. Declare the extension, promotion, revision, or suspension of the Martial Law along with the suspension of warrant or arrests with the initial approval of the Lower House. 7. Investigate people, policies, or procedures as a function of legislation or to recommend courses of action to other government agencies. 8. Receive P200 million from the Philippine Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) every year to fund their programs. DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVES 1. Author, sponsor, or reject bills to be enacted on a district or national level. 2. Create projects and build
infrastructure for the benefit of their districts. 3. Investigate people, policies, or procedures as a function of legislation or to recommend courses of action to other government agencies. 4. Hold exclusive power together with other district representatives to impeach a government official through a decision made by two thirds of the Congress. 5. Receive around P70 million under the Philippine Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) to fund district-level projects. 6. Major pieces of legislation aside from the national budget include bills on taxes, profit-generating measures, and guidelines on the operation of public utilities. PARTY-LIST REPRESENTATIVES 1. Author, sponsor, or reject bills to be enacted in a national or district level. 2. Represent sectors of society with distinct issues important to the nations growth that may not easily be addressed by district representatives. 3. Create projects and build infrastructure not for the benefit of their geographical district but their sector. 4. They must come from the sector they are representing such as labor, youth, fisher folk, urban poor, indigenous cultural communities, elderly, handicapped, and overseas workers. 5. They must occupy 20 percent of the seats in Congress. Let us take into consideration these roles and responsibilities so that we may well be guided when we vote this May. Remember that there is so much power in our hands to elect and put into power a whole new breed of leaders who will lead our country and move towards good governance. It is about time that we have a government that is more effective and more responsive to the needs and welfare of every Filipino.

THE 2013 PALARONG PAMBANSA: SPORTS: ROAD TO PEACE AND PROGRESS
HE Palarong Pambansa Program is an annual multi-level national scholastic athletic competition conducted by the Department of Education (DepEd) and participated in by the elementary and secondary pupils and students from both public and private schools. It was first held in 1948 as the Bureau of Public Schools Interscholastic Athletic Association Meet (BPSIAA) or National Sports Meet. It starts with the school intramural followed by the district, division, regional athletic meets, and culminates in the national meet known as Palarong Pambansa. The Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) is mandated to ensure that amateur sports promotion and development are integrated and planned. Thus, the PSC instituted an agreement with DepEd in 2011 aimed at ensuring that the event is conducted optimally through the sharing of equipment, coaches/athletes training, and rationalized sports events scheduling (i.e., unified calendar of school sports and PSC activities for training and competitions). The host and venue for the annual event is rotated among major island groups (LuzonVisayas-Luzon-Mindanao). Local governments bid to host the event and are selected based on their capability to accommodate a large number of student athletes and others participating in the event. This years host of the 2013 Palarong Pambansa is the Provincial Government of Negros Oriental. The event will be held at the Don Mariano Perdices Memorial Coliseum in Dumaguete City on April 21-27, 2013. This is the first time the Province of Negros Oriental will be hosting the national sports event. The 2013 Palarong Pambansa, with the theme Sports, Road to Peace and Progress, will be attended by around 10,000 participants from all 17 regions student athletes, teachers and trainors, as well as DepEd and government officials. The DepEd allocated around R205.4
million for the event, R68.8 million of which went to the Regional and Division meets, and R136.5 million was allocated for the national games, including R4.5 million for the procurement of sports equipment. Winning athletes will be awarded trophies and medals. Previously, there were 16 sports events for the elementary division and 17 sports events for secondary division, including Archery, Arnis, Athletics, Badminton, Baseball, Basketball, Boxing, Chess, Football, Gymnastics, Sepak Takraw, Sipa Takraw, Softball, Swimming, Table Tennis, Taekwondo, Tennis, and Volleyball. For this years Palaro, three new sports events will be added: wushu and billiards for secondary division, and futsal for elementary division. With the objective of promoting Physical Education and Sports as an integral part of the Basic Education for the full development of the great potentials of the youth to become responsible and globally competitive, and promote and achieve peace by means of sports, the Palarong Pambansa has become a source of potential athletes for international competitions. Many successful athletes were Palarong Pambansa participants, such as: Lydia de Vega-Mercado and Elma MurosPosadas (athletics); Dyan Castillejo-Garcia (tennis); Danny Ildefonso, Avelino Samboy B. Lim, Jr., Marlou B. Aquino and Kirby M. Raymundo (basketball); Susan Papa, Joseph Eric Buhain, and Ernest Lorenzo Enchong V. Dee (swimming); and Emelio Chieffy A. Caligdong and Christopher J. Camcam of Azkals (football). We congratulate the countrys young athletes and the organizers of the Palarong Pambansa headed by Department of Education Secretary Br. Armin A. Luistro, FSC, and the Provincial Government of Negros Oriental led by its Governor Roel R. Degamo, in their efforts to make the upcoming 2013 Palarong Pambansa a success. CONGRATULATIONS AND MABUHAY! s

BAGUIO COUNTRY CLUB
GREEN, GREENER
HATS 108 years old and keeps growing younger, greener every year? Baguio Country Club, famous for its golf course, its pinewood cottages and guest rooms, its restaurants and raisin bread, has just added another dimension of green. A green zone that includes a strawberry farm, an infinity garden, a vegetable farm (all-organic), an aviary, a home for three deer, a sun room, a nursery, and all the green space a meditator, nature buff or seeker of solitude can wish for. By According to BCC president Rico Jullie Y. Agcaoili, the club has to grow greener Daza because it was the dream of its beloved chairman, Potenciano Ilusorio, to make the Country Club the pride of Baguio, the home of harried city souls in search of tranquility amid a sea of green trees, flowering plants, a rolling landscape of grass fed by sunlight and water sourced from a piping

system designed by Israeli technicians. When the rest of Luzon has gone dry, this Country Club will continue to produce water, Mr. Ilusorio promised members many years ago. When his family and friends marked his 100th birthday posthumously last December with the publication of a book, Nanoy, The One and Only, a collection of anecdotes and quotes as told by friends and associates, many of their recollections centered on his vision for the club and for Baguio, and how he loved the two so much that intimates kidded him this wise: You have a very expensive, high-maintenance mistress, Nanoy, she demands all your time and energy, 25 hours a day. As one cannot imagine Baguio without pine trees and the cool mountain air, so one cannot imagine wholesome leisure and green, fresh air without Baguio Country Club. During an unguarded moment as he gazed out at the trees from the clubs Veranda gathering place of lowlanders and highlanders when the former escape the heat and the latter await the latest rumors from Manila Mr. Ilusorio said, We must protect our trees.

this summer, avoid sun overexposure

By JOSE MA. H. ZALDARRIAGA
Take preventive measures during the hot summer months. Photo by Bryan James Santos
ANY ailments are associated with the hot, humid summer months, one of which is the very common bungang-araw. Almost every summer, the Department of Health (DoH) warns the public about this ubiquitous but irritating and unpleasant skin condition. Bungang-araw, more formally called miliaria, has a myriad of other names: heat rash, sweat rash, and prickly heat just to name a few. But as many as there are names to bungang-araw are the number of people who get it every year. Bungang-araw is a skin disease marked by small and itchy red rashes called papules. The condition is most common in the tropics and during the summer season. Our skin is covered with countless sweat ducts that, when blocked by dead skin cells 8 Philippine Panorama Sunday, April 21, 2013
or bacteria, trap sweat inside the skin. This trapped sweat, in turn, can cause itching, skin irritation (prickling), and rashes. Common symptoms of bungang-araw to watch out for, thus, include rashes of very small, pinpoint blisters that are often found within localized areas of the skin. These rashes may form red or pink patches which may feel itchy or produce a sensation of pins and needles. Commonly, these rashes are found around the face, neck, back, abdomen, buttocks, under the breasts, and skin folds such as those in the elbows. It is important to note that infants and small children are more than twice as likely to get bungang-araw than adults. The reason why infants and small children are more prone to it is that their
sweat ducts are still underdeveloped. In addition, small children usually play a lot outdoors and sometimes even under direct sunlight, causing them to sweat profusely. Aside from infants and small children, overweight or obese individuals and bedridden patients are also prone to the disease. Fortunately, though irritating and uncomfortable, bungang-araw is a relatively minor skin disease which may eventually disappear on its own. But for rashes which last for more than a number of weeks, medical assistance should already be sought. The physician will most commonly perform a differential diagnosis in order to identify other possible causes of the skin rashes such as allergic reactions, bacterial infections, eczema, and shingles. The most effective measures against bungangaraw are actually preventive. The easiest way to avoid the skin disease is to stay in a cool environment, although this may not always be possible in the Philippines. Hence, more feasible steps include taking frequent cold showers instead of warm ones, always bringing a small towel with you when going outdoors, and bringing a water jug with you especially when engaging in sports and other strenuous activities. Also, try to wear loose, cotton-made, and lightly-colored clothing. Cotton, unlike synthetic fibres such as polyester, nylon, and Spandex which trap heat, absorbs perspiration and its evaporation cools down the body. Light colors, on the other hand, reflect the suns radiation. If the rashes are already there, according to Dr. Jerry Balentine who is the Chief Medical Officer of St. Barnabas Hospital and Healthcare System in the Bronx, the first thing to do is to wash the affected area with a mild soap. Next, rinse it with water and pat dry with a towel. Doing this several times a day is recommended to shorten the duration of symptoms. It is important that the skin receive adequate ventilation; hence, try to be near a fan whenever you are indoors. If you have one at home, apply a cool pack over the affected area/s for no longer than 20 minutes per hour. Dr. Eric Tayag, director of the National Epidemiology Center (NEC) of the DoH, also suggests applying calamine lotion or mentholor camphor-based anti-itch preparations on the affected area/s. One may also use mild cortisone
creams such as hydrocortisone (Cortaid) for more resistant rashes. Another effective treatment against bungang-araw is prickly heat powder which can help fight infection and thus reduce the rashes. Regular talcum powder will not reduce rashes but can alleviate itching and burning. Dr.Tayag recommends mixing powder and starch and applying the resulting mixture to the affected area/s if prickly heat powder is inaccessible or too costly for the patient. Lastly, we should all watch out for factors that can aggravate bungang-araw. Aside from places of high humidity and high temperature, wearing tight and non-breathable garments can worsen the condition. Having fever and sunburn are also aggravating factors. Applying oil-based perfumes, body creams, and lotions may also block off sweat ducts and pores, possibly leading to skin irritations and rashes, not to mention allergic dermatitis. The rashes produced by bungang-araw may be similar to those of other skin conditions such as folliculitis, eczema, and allergic rash. To be sure, if the rashes stay for more than a couple of weeks, with or without itching, visit a physician to have them examined. Bungang-araw is a simple lesson on the importance of taking preventive measures during the hot summer months, and the consequences, both mild and severe, of not doing so. Dont forget to enjoy the sun, but not too much. s
Always bring a small towel with you when going outdoors.
The Good Old Household Practices

By R. O. ELLOSO
Banana leaves were used to polish floors and to make flatirons glide smoothly while pressing clothes.
OW that summer has just begun, it is a good time to do some general house cleaning. It is also a good time for clearing cupboards and clothes closet, for cleaning those hard-to-reach crevices and for getting rid of things that need to be discarded as they are no longer needed. With the current awareness about environment pollution, one would also find it helpful and safe to recall and employ the good old days housekeeping practices. During those days when products taken from our natural surroundings were preferred against the toxic, artificial and chemical products of today, different kinds of leaves were put to good use for housecleaning, and for medical and beautification purposes. Instead of brush or steel wool, pakeleng leaves were used to scrub pots and pans, furniture 10 Philippine Panorama Sunday, April 21, 2013
and floors. Banana leaves, instead of floor waxes, were used to polish floors and to make flatirons glide smoothly while pressing clothes. Even nowadays, banana leaves are also rubbed on frying pans to prevent fish or meat from sticking when frying. Guava leaves are boiled for use as vaginal wash after a mother delivers her baby, while some women drink the concoction in order to remove the bad odor in their urine. They are also very good as a gargle for sore throat, mouthwash after tooth extraction, and as a powerful antiseptic for wounds. Guava leaves are very useful in the provinces, where circumcision of the local young boys is performed by the towns herbolarios. Some folks in the provinces, for lack of toothbrush, use the small guava stems to clean their teeth. For dysmenorrhea, the roots of the Makahiya plant
are boiled and drunk during menstruation. Seven known herbs are used for the first bath of the postpartum mother. Tanglad leaves are good for rubbing off the slippery mucus when cleaning fish and dressing chicken. Malunggay leaves are also put in soup dishes like sinigang and tinola and they taste just as good as kangkong or dahong sili. Malunggay leaves help ease the passing of stool and regular eating of the leaves results in regular bowel movement. Children resort to gumamela leaves, ground and mixed with water to replace soap in their bubble-blowing games. For sauting, sinigang, tinola, or nilaga, or for afritada and other sauce dishes, the second rice wash or hugas-bigas makes for thicker soups and sauces. It also serves as a bleach for white clothes, and used together with the usual dishwashing liquids, it results in sparkling clean and sweetsmelling dinnerware, glassware, silverware, pots and pans, and even mirrors and window glass panes. For the old folks, it is the good old sun-bleaching process that is considered best for white clothes and bed linen. Vinegar instead of bleach is also used to whiten clothes that have yellowed due to long use. Calamansi and salt are applied on rust stains on clothes bleached under the sun. Kamyas also does the job just as well. Calamansi is also used by some as deodorant, applied on both armpits just before taking a bath. It is also applied to the hair after a bath to make it clean and sweetsmelling. Garlic is not only an herb that is used to make tasty dishes but also to heal cracked fingernails. But fingernails should be also be given a rest from performing the daily laundry because soap and bleach are harmful to both the hands and nails. Cooking oil helps take away the noise from rusty hinges of steel gates, doors and windows. Onion cut in half and left to stand on top of the dinner table or kitchen counter are believed to absorb airborne germs. In the olden times, onion and garlic braids were hung on door sides to ward off bad spirits and prevent diseases during an epidemic. Ginger with heated coconut oil applied on the scalp lessens the common problem of dandruff and falling hair. It is also easier to remove lice from the hair when coconut oil is applied on the
hair and scalp. The coconut shell, with the flesh intact, is placed on top of burning charcoal, and the liquid that forms in the shell is believed to relieve toothaches. Salt drives away ants from floors and crevices, cleans the mucus from fish and chicken, heals mouth sores, and is used as a gargle for sore throats and inflamed tonsils. Regular soaking of feet in warm water with salt helps remove odor. Sand scrubs away stubborn burnt elements under pots and pans, while sand emery bugs make needles and pins rust-free. Pouring hot water into the sink and bell traps in bath rooms kills mosquito larvae and melts hardened soap that usually clog drains. Kerosene with melted paraffin wax serves as a good substitute for floor wax. The smell also makes the mixture an insect repellent. Stick brooms do not only clean hard-to-reach crevices but used regularly, they drive away insects. The noise made by the sticks help get rid of these house pests. There are a whole lot more helpful practices during our lolos and lolas days and it would be a good idea to revive them especially in the wake of the high prices and the threat to health of some of todays hygienic products and cleaning aids. s
The good old sun-bleaching process is considered best for white clothes and bed linen.
Bill Clinton now realized the law he signed was in itself discriminatory and should be overturned.
Bill Clinton changed his mind

HILE he was president, Bill Clinton opposed gay marriage, or marriage between same-sex couples. In 1996, he signed a law, called the Defense of Marriage Act, which defined marriage as the union of a man and a woman. Seventeen years later, he has urged the Supreme Court to overturn that law. The times and the people have changed, he explained. Today, a majority of Americans accept gay marriage, while only a minority still opposes it. Mr. Clintons record in the past has not been against gay persons or couples. He was the first president By to openly include gay Americans Beth among his supporters. As far back Day as 1968 when he was a Rhodes Romulo scholar at Oxford, he had gay friends. As President, he supported opening the military to gays and lesbians and finally accepted the compromise that required they remain silent about their sexual orientation, the so-called Dont Ask. Dont Tell. rule. In his second term, President Clinton nominated James Hormel, the first openly gay ambassador in the U.S. diplomatic corps, as ambassador to 12 Philippine Panorama Sunday, April 21, 2013
Luxembourg. In 2009, Clinton decided to come out publicly in defense of gay marriage. I realized I was over 60 years old. I grew up in a different time. I was hung up on the word. I had all these gay friends. I had all these gay couple friends. And I decided I was wrong (to oppose gay marriage). In 2011, he endorsed a law legalizing same sex marriage. Now, with the Supreme Court challenging part of the Defense of Marriage Act, Clinton wrote an article in The Washington Post saying he had originally signed the law against same sex marriage to head off a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, but now realized the law he signed was in itself discriminatory and should be overturned. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy spoke about the interests of the children of same sex couples, saying there are an estimated 40,000 in California alone, and the children want their parents to have full recognition, and access to public services. Nine states already allow same sex couples to marry. The simplest answer to this national dilemma would be for the Supreme Court to establish a Constitutional right to same sex marriage that would apply in all 50 states. s

Cinema World: Whole new world

By NESTOR CUARTERO
Cinema World CEO and founder Suarina Chua invites viewers to travel the world through films.
OLLOWERS of international film festivals sprouting in various parts of the Metro need not leave the comforts of home to catch their favorite movies that are usually rare, few and farbetween, if not totally unreleased in Manila. Theres Cinema World to do the travelling for them. All you have to do is to flick the remote and
Lessons in Chocolate.
you can be transported to a whole new world from moment to moment. Launched in the Philippines in October 2012, Cinema World allows film buffs to discover new territories beyond their reach while munching on their favorite snack or even lying in bed! Last night, for example, we were in Tehran, Iran soaking up on the Middle Eastern culture of love and courtship through the movie, A Simple Love Story. The other day, our senses flew to the beautifully lavish Irish countryside for the dog story, Mighty Celc. One other time, we were in Sweden to watch a pack of middle-aged men form a synchronized swimming team that joins international competitions. Suarina Chua, CEO and co-founder of Cinema World, warns that viewers will never stop travelling 24/7 as they keep an eye on the varied offerings of the fledgling channel already making its mark across Asia. The Philippines is among the first countries tapped as a strong market by Cinema World following the channels launch in home base Singapore. Filipinos, according to Ms. Chua, are inveterate movie-lovers. Proof of this is our thriving film industry that started back in the 1930s and the massive successes enjoyed by Hollywood blockbusters in our shores.
Ironically, our concept of cinema has been confined to those patented, templated US films that have been instrumental in the Americanization of our people. Formed in Singapore by partners Quek Toi Mien and Suarina Chua, along with James Marturano, who were long-time colleagues at HBO, Cinema World is the result of its founders fascination for movies. Chua spent 15 years as a programmer and film buyer for the international cable movie channel. During a recent Manila visit to grace a special screening in Makati of Lessons in Chocolate (Lezioni di Cioccolati), a multi-awarded Italian romantic comedy starring Luca Argentero and Violante Placido, Chua said the channel is the first and only pan-Asia international channel that offers current and fresh movies mostly from 2005 up to the present. The movies are in high definition format, in their original languages that are subtitled to be easily understood by various audiences. If you look at our collections, you do not find movies earlier than the year 2000, Chua said. We believe that the audience here in Asia needs to watch movies that are new to their taste. We wanted to give our viewers the reason they have to watch the movies in our channel. The channel has at least 300 international titles in its library as of this writing. Fifty new titles are added to the collection every month. On target, both as a cable market and as a source of films, is Russia and the region that surrounds it. CW has also premiered recently in China. Two requirements must be met by a film to earn a slot on Cinema World. First, it must be critically acclaimed and has won awards in international film festivals such as Cannes, Berlin, or Venice, among others. Second, it must be well-received in its country of origin. In other words, a box office hit. The films should also be contemporary. Cinema World movies are sourced from throughout Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and Asia. A definitive plus-point for Filipino audiences is the easy accessibility of European films that are otherwise unavailable in the Philippines.
Through Cinema World, the country has breached the world of film beyond Hollywood to embrace those that are produced from other (and just as exciting) parts of the world.s (nescuar@yahoo.com)
Trees beautify, clean and green the environment.
Planting Trees Panacea To Ecology

By VIC JOCSON COLUMNA
OR almost a decade now, the world has been experiencing historic extremes in weather. The past year 2012 had a record breaking number of calamities caused by blizzards, droughts, forest fires, supertyphoons, rains, floods, landslides, heat wave, ocean acidification, Arctic ice meltdown, etc. These struck every corner of the earth in extreme degrees. They spared no nation the powerful and the weak, the rich and the poor, the above sea and low level islands. People encountered power failures, airline shutdowns, transportation stoppages, panic buying sprees, destruction of properties and loss of lives. Never before in our history did we have such strange disasters. It is only now when mankind so blinded and purpose driven by insatiable desire for wealth and power do we have these cataclysms of nature. Studies revealed the weather calamities we have now are the revolt of nature which has been abused so much. Indeed, we never learned past 18 Philippine Panorama Sunday, April 21, 2013
lessons. We tend to forget the truth that the earth has enough of everything for our need but never for our greed. Though, we know it, we ignore matterof-factly that he who loves so much wealth has never enough wealth. According to experts, the extremes in weather we have today will become the new normal in our life and henceforth. It might become worse and would lead into a doomsday scenario but not instantaneous but gradual unless the peoples pool their resources, wisdom, knowledge and work together to mitigate the incursion of climate change. God endowed us with all the indispensable characteristics we can develop, nurture and harness to sustain a life of our own choice and making but with our greed exceeding our need, nature is made to suffer by our transgressions, hence we reap the harvest of our abuse and apathy. Climate change is upon us. The threat of calamities in increasing number and intensity is a looming reality. Certainly, we have never been good stewards of Gods magnificent creation. We have misinterpreted His command for us to subdue
the earth at all costs. Global warming is one greatest challenge the world is facing this century. The failure again of the parties which attended the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Doha, Qatar to reach an agreement on climate changes posing a grim portent that more extreme calamities will come. Surely as in the past, they will wreak havoc to our vulnerable world with dire consequences of undermining our efforts for development, hence a bleak future. However, not all developing and highly industrialized nations have a myopic outlook on global warming. They did see the reality of the hovering ecological problems, hence they responded. At the forefront is Germany whose economy is moving ahead by harnessing the solar energy as its main source of power replacing nuclear power. This disowned that solar energy slows down progress. Germany is being looked up to as the worlds model of production, and not destruction, in economic development. The world must follow Germanys feat to preserve Mother Nature. Not all nations can duplicate Germanys, but for sure, any country can help the world from plunging into the quagmire of ecosystem disasters simply by planting trees. Planting trees is doable. It is an easy and simple thing to do. It does not require much effort and big capital. No great value at all it seems. Its simpleness bespeaks of it but sometimes great thing comes from an ordinary one. Tree planting is such. Its a good investment with the best and greatest dividend. It is not only a rewarding experience but a noble undertaking by human that lives, grows and never ceases to grow. A tree planted by man outlives him but he leaves behind a priceless, greatest and lasting legacy to the world. Trees beautify, clean and green the environment. They cool and refresh it and help reduce noise and air pollution. They are the best protection and antidote against greenhouse effect. Moreover, they prevent floods, landslides and soil erosions as the roots of the trees whether in the mountains, hills, plains and riversides, absorb and hold water during heavy downpour.
The potency of trees has no equal in preventing and protecting nature against global warming being aggravated by the ravages of urbanization and industrialization. So natural, it has no side-effect. It proves more effective than the chemical laden remedies made by men. As an essential part of ecology, trees not only provide food, homes and canopies for humans and animals but also serve as haven for chirping birds. Significantly, they provide much of the earths oxygen that offsets carbon emissions. Botanists said: Trees are doing the reverse of humans as they breathe by inhaling carbon dioxide , one of the major causes of greenhouse effect and climate change and exhaling oxygen which in turn is inhaled by humans and other living organisms. The cycle goes on regardless of any weather condition. In planting a tree, a life naturally sprouts, which serves not only a panacea to ecological suicide, but also a manifestation of our love and care to earth. Moreover, we can feel the presence of Gods invigorating breath through the trees stomata. Even todays world of concrete and steel, nuclear energy, information technology and stateof-the-art living, we need trees to live and survive. Our imperfect world becomes wonderful with the lovely trees, but this magnificent creation of God is only ours to behold and appreciate its loveliness through words. By paraphrasing the poem Trees by Joyce Kilmer, indeed, the reason is obvious: I think that I shall never write An article as lovely as a tree. Articles are made by fools like me. But only God can make a tree. Planting trees, anyone? s (vicjcolumna@yahoo.com)
Planting a tree is also a manifestation of our love and care to earth
Lincoln is a tough act to follow. And probably, there will be no leader like him.
Dedicated corporate execs and leaders can live by Lincolns example

By LILIA BORLONGAN-ALVAREZ
ERE not talking only of the critically acclaimed movie or the 16th American president who struggled with the sufferings of a divided nation but who rose above them and succeeded. Were referring to a man a corporate leader (or an aspiring public servant) can look to as regards moral leadership and honesty qualities which todays executives and managers ought to possess. Lets take a look at a few of Abraham Lincolns most famous quotes corporate executives can live by: A house divided against itself cannot stand. This quote begs these questions: Do todays corporate leaders promote unity and harmony within their organizations, and build 20 Philippine Panorama Sunday, April 21, 2013
consensus or do they put up cliques and factions within their own ranks? Do they fiercely guard their own fortresses or turfs or are they liberal with sharing with others in the organization their knowledge or know-how? Do senior managers foster a sense of belonging among their employees or do they build walls and fences between them? Do they take the time to know their employees, take a personal interest in them, or teach them how a job is competently done? Or do they leave their employees to their own devices? They need not work the room, so to speak, or exude charm, but do they even smile, nod their heads, or look at the faces of their fellow workers when they cross paths down the hall? Malice toward none. Corporate leaders may well ask themselves: Do they give their employees the benefit of the doubt? Do they
build trust in their places of work? Are they ready to discard their negative biases and prejudices against their colleagues and subordinates? Can they see talent in unexpected people? Are they willing to let go of their insecurities? Charity for all. Do todays managers abide by the saying when you have nothing nice to say about somebody, keep your mouth shut? Are they averse to gossip or are they sources of unverified information that gets around through the grapevine? Most of our corporate leaders have technology savvy and they cant live or do their work without their laptops, ipads, iphones, cellphones, and what have you. But do they observe cyberspace etiquette that what cant be published in the papers or put on the airwaves cant be sent via e-mail or posted on their Facebook or Twitter accounts? resolve to be honest at all events. Theres a story about Lincolns job as a storekeeper he once took 6 cents too much from a customer. According to the webpage Abraham Lincoln Research Site, when the store closed, Lincoln walked three miles to return the womans money. Another time, a customer who asked for pound of tea was mistakenly given only pound because Lincoln had absent-mindedly left a weight on the scales. Very early in the morning, when he discovered the mistake, he walked a long way to give the customer the right amount of tea, says the website. These stories may well apply to the workplace. Do todays employers, especially in the manufacturing and services sector, give their workers just wages? Do they keep their employees adequately and timely informed about whats going on in their organizations? Are they transparent with their employees with respect to the inevitability of lay-offs and retrenchment? Are they sticklers for sound business practices or do they justify their machinations, even if theyre found dipping their fingers in the cookie jar (as in the case of the Legacy Group or Enrons top brass)? Lincoln is a tough act to follow. And probably, there will be no leader like him (not in our lifetime anyway). But todays corporate leaders are not
to be expected to turn in grand, earth-shaking accomplishments like abolishing slavery, which he found morally wrong they can start by putting people, not profit, first and being honest with them. So who says moral and honest leadership is outmoded? Certainly, not Honest Abe. s
Poem
Nightsong
Part 1
By m.d.r.ramos
City of childhood days fifty summers past Mint-scented fields over hanged with kites gasping for the skies The dark mysterious evenings in courtship with some flirty stars their earth-bound sisters forever clasped within my tiny hands Fireflies of yesterday show me the way! Dying in this breathless city, travelled through time! Tagging along some small quiet stores their dust-worn gold and glitters Some bastard children of the soulless streets dead stones, their gaping doors opens to the endless emptiness beyond. Sing me then the silent song of eternity in chorus with the ancient voices of the nights shared ancestry Sing, for heaven curses and bless In this horrific death-dance of screaming, unforgiving pain Sing! The gauzy ghost of past deserves her rightful rest I cannot reach the stars, but heavens way, a song of faith surely, your snooty, self-centered sisters will stoop to hand me down eternity.
Our Times
Villar Foundation managing director Cynthia Villar meet with former OFWs and dependents of OFWs enrolled in the Skills Up program. Several scholars who have graduated from the hotel housekeeping course offered under said program have found jobs here and abroad. The training program is a joint endeavor between the Blas F. Ople Center and the Villar Foundation.
Villar Foundation
HEN my father was chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee, he welcomed occasions to meet and discuss issues with top officials of the Department of Foreign Affairs. His keen mind and natural curiosity about events across the world invigorated such discussions and led to a rich harvest of bilateral treaties and agreements during his term. In 2002, my father found himself on the other side of the fence, as Secretary of Foreign Affairs, meeting with Senator Manny Villar, chair of the Senate foreign relations committee. Those meetings were always cordial, sober, and straightforward. The By Susan V. nationalist bent of both gentlemen Ople cemented a friendship between equals, founded on mutual respect. My mother, Susana, and Mrs. Cynthia Villar, then head of the congressional spouses foundation, also struck a warm friendship. This preface is necessary to establish that this writer has a fond bias for the Villar family. When I was about to give up on my dream of joining the senatorial race in 2010, it was Senator Villar who invited me to be a part of the Nacionalista Partys 22 Philippine Panorama Sunday, April 21, 2013
ticket. He and I shared a common passion: to help distressed overseas Filipino workers wherever they may be in the world. It is perfectly understandable why my family and I are into helping OFWs. During his days as Labor Secretary, my father, Ka Blas Ople, founded the Philippine overseas employment program and spearheaded the creation of such time-tested institutions as the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC), among others under the jurisdiction of the Department of Labor and Employment. To us, every OFW is an extension of the Ople family. Senator Villars love for the OFWs began during his early pioneering days in real estate development. His very first buyer was a Filipino seafarer who continues to reside in that very same unit, decades after. Growing his business as an entrepreneur made Villar more attuned to the needs and problems of our modern-day heroes. As someone who defined his fate and mastered it in the challenging worlds of big business and politics, Villar knew how it was to be nameless, penniless, and powerless. I like it that this humble man fought his way up
and sought to bring many along with him on that journey. As a political neophyte, I treasured his fatherly advice to us in the senatorial ticket, often encouraging us to tag along with him and even share the spotlight during interviews. I always have a soft heart for humble people and Senator Villar tops my list of those who lead humble yet meaningful lives. For the past few years, the Blas F. Ople Policy Center, a non-profit organization that I founded, has been closely working with the Villar Foundation led by its managing director Cynthia Villar on joint projects for OFWs. Three years ago, we launched the Skills Up! Training Program that enabled several overseas workers and their dependents to level up and compete in the workforce no longer as domestic helpers and manual laborers but as skilled workers. This program has yielded several success stories: Jovelyn, a victim of maltreatment and forced labor trafficking when she worked as domestic helper in the Middle East, is now working for a hotel in Eastwood, Quezon City after graduating from a hotel housekeeping course courtesy of the Villar Foundation. Paul Tarrabago is now working as a hotel housekeeper in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Another Villar Foundation scholar, Marievic Himmiwat, is now employed as a nursing aide in Singapore after completing her training at the Asian School for Hospitality Arts (ASHA). As I write this column, we have a new batch of trainees that are now learning commercial cooking and hotel housekeeping under the aegis of the Villar Foundation. These graduates will be given the chance to have on-the-job training at the Kabayan Hotel, which also has an ongoing partnership with the Blas F. Ople Policy Center. The lives of Jovelyn, Paul, Marievic, and so many others were transformed through skills development and training. They grew more confident and selfassured and were able to overcome the stigma that comes from being victims of illegal recruitment and human trafficking. Dear Readers, we all have our own personal choices during this election season. I know I have no right to intrude on your own decision-making process. However, I would be remiss in my role as an OFW advocate, if I keep silent about the work of the Villar Foundation considering my first-hand
knowledge about its accomplishments. Mrs. Cynthia Villar as Misis Hanep Buhay is assured of a slot in my ballot, and I hope in yours, as well. Note: News about a three-month grace period since extended by the Saudi government to all foreign workers with labor violations came out after my previous column was published. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.In behalf of our workers in Saudi Arabia, we extend our thanks to the King of Saudi Arabia for such a benevolent gesture. s (Send your comments to toots.ople@yahoo.com.

TV host and young entrepreneur, Camille Villar, represented the Villar Foundation during the launch of the Skills Up program, a joint livelihood and skills training program for OFWs and their dependents with the Blas F. Ople Policy Center.
Under the Skills Up program, OFWs who were repatriated by the government as well as those victimized by illegal recruiters are taught hotel housekeeping skills that they can use to apply for better jobs.

A Different Farmers Weekend Market

F you happen to be in Bacolod on a Saturday, try to visit the new Negros Farmers Weekend Market on Magsaysay Avenue, Singcang district. This is something different from other farmers markets we know. We attended the soft-launch of the market last March 16, and while much of the structures are under construction, the concept is all complete and full operation of the market is expected anytime soon. Construction of facilities is By continuous. Zac B. Sarian In what way is the Negros Farmers Weekend Market different from other farmers markets? Of course, a major purpose is to provide farmers a place to sell their harvests direct to the consumers. After all, thats one way of helping the clients of DC Cruz Trading which thought of putting up the market on a 1.2hectare property right in front of the companys
This is the solar irrigation pump displayed by DuPont during the soft-launch of the weekend market.

main store. DC Cruz Trading is a successful distributor of farmers inputs like fertilizers, crop protection products, seeds, farm machines and many others. Ruby Cruz, marketing manager of DC Cruz Trading, is the brains behind the weekend market project which, we were told, has a multi-million budget. Ruby said that the weekend market is divided into different zones. One zone, of course, is the sales area for fresh farm produce by farmers. At one end of the weekend market is a demo garden. This is where visitors can see and learn about the improved techniques in the production of vegetables and other high-value crops. The first to set up the demo garden is Macondray, a big company based in Davao that supplies plastic products such as plastic mulch, plastic liners for water reservoirs and fishponds, solar dryer for fruits, vegetables and fish. Other locators can also put up their own showcase of their technologies. This way, the weekend market is a place to learn improved techniques in agriculture. In another zone, there will be a showcase of small farm animals that include goats, rabbits, native chickens, turkey, geese, native pigs and others. This is where hobbyists as well as aspiring entrepreneurs can procure their initial stocks for their own projects. Then there is also a zone for the big companies to showcase their own technologies. One of the exhibitors during the soft-launch was DuPont, a multinational company operating in many countries. It exhibited a solar irrigation pump that does not use any petroleum fuel. It is powered by the sun.

The other big companies are Syngenta, Bayer, Stoller, East-West Seed Company, Harbest Agribusiness, Leads Agri, Biostat, SinoChem and others. They could cater to big sugarcane planters in Negros. They could provide ideas for crop diversification, mechanization and others. There will also be a place for native delicacies and wellness products made in Negros. The wellness products include processed turmeric which comes in powder or in capsule forms; malunggay powder and capsules; herbal soaps and many more. Negros is also famous for its organic products like organic rice, coffee and muscovado sugar. Then there is a place for the gastronomes. There is a food court where not only local recipes but also foreign cuisines are cooked on the spot. The foreign cuisines include Japanese, Spanish, Italian, Indian, Mexican and others. Of course, Inasal and its new version are also there. The new version is Prinasal which is Piniritong Inasal. So is kansi, the equivalent of the bulalo in Luzon. This is cooked with the fruit or the young shoots of the Batuan tree. Another novel offering at the weekend market

Negros Farmers Weekend Market. The market is open only on Saturdays, from early morning to late afternoon. Each visitor pays an entrance fee of R100 but this can be used to pay for any product or service at the weekend market. The idea, according to Ruby, is to discourage loiterers. s
