Kasinungalingan ni Villar

2010-04-05T21:19:00.000-07:00

Hango mula sa Column ni William Esposo (The Philippine Star)

"Nakaranas na ba kayong ... mamatayan ng kapatid dahil wala kang perang pangpagamot?" – Tanung ni Villar in his Panata TV commercial. Tinutukoy ni Villar dito ay yong nakababatang kapatid na si Danny na namatay noong Oktubre 1962. Sa komersyal na ito pinakita pa yaong larawan nilang dalawa.

Itong pagpapakita na sila ay dating mahirap ay isang makalaking kasinungalingan na makikita rin sa iba pang komersyal ni Villar upang makakuha ng awa at suporta sa mga masa at mahihirap na Pilipino na bumubuo ng 90% ng botante. Pero, etong paggamit niya sa pagkamatay ng kapatid ay katumbas kung hindi man mas masaklap pa sa mga kasinungalingan ni GMA.

Dalawang pampublikong dokumento ang magpapatunay na puro kasinungalingan ang imahe na gustong ipakita ni Villar: (a.) Death Certificate ni Danny Villar at ( b.) Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT number 135396/3194) ng 560 sq. meter na lupa sa San Rafael Village sa Navotas kung saan sila tumira.

Bilang patotoo sa mga kasinungalingan ni Villar, narito ang mga tunay na impormasyon tungkol sa estado ng buhay nila noong panahon na namatay ang kanyang kapatid:

Bago mag-1962, ang magulang ni Villar ay bumili ng 560 sq. meter na lupa sa Bernardo Street sa San Rafael Village kung saan ang mas nakakaangat sa buhay (middle class) ay nakatira. Nangyari ito bago pa man namatay ang kanyang kapatid na si Danny.

Ang kanyang ama ay nagtratrabaho noon sa gobyerno bilang budget officer ng DANR (Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources) kung saan nasa ilalim nito ang Fisheries Bureau. Samantalang ang kanyang ina ay isang seafood (sugpo, alimango, at isda) dealer sa Divisoria at hindi magtitinda na tulad ng sinasabi ni Villar.

Ang kita ng magulang ni Villar ay tiyak na mas malaki ng di hamak sa karaniwan upang makabili ng 560 sq. meters na lupa. Ang isang ordinaryong tao ay bumibili ng di hihigit sa 100sq. m na lupa upang tirikan ng bahay. Sa katunayan, nakapagloan pa ang kanyang ama ng P16,000 sa GSIS (na kung isusuma ang halaga sa ngayon ay di bababa ng P1.14 Million)
Sa ngayon, ang lupa nilang yaon ay may halaga na di bababa sa 5.6M pesos base sa zonal value na P10,000 kada sq. meter.

Si Manny Villar ay nagtapos ng elementarya sa "Holy Child Catholic School" at sa Mapua Institute of Technology sa High school. Parehong pampribadong paaralan. Ang mga mahihirap ay sa pampublikong paaralan lang kayang pag-aralin ang kanilang mga anak.
si Jun Borres, na nakabili ng property nina Villar noong 1987, ay sinasabing ang bahay nina Villar ay 2 palapag. Ang Ibaba ay bato samantalang kahoy ang itaas. Ito ay tipikal na bahay ng isang pamilya na kabilang sa upper middle class.

Ang mga impormasyon naman hinggil sa pagkamatay na kapatid niyang si Danny:
Ang death certificate ni Danny ay nagpapatunay na nakatira sila sa nabanggit na bahay nuong pang 1962.
Hindi totoong namatay si Danny dahil walang maipangpagamot. Si Danny ay tumagal ng 13 araw sa FEU Hospital kung saan namatay siya sa edad na 3 taon at 8 buwan. Kung totoong mahirap sila, dapat sa PGH sya dinala at hindi sa FEU hospital. Ang FEU hospital ay kabilang sa de-primerang hospital noong mga panahon na iyon.

Si Danny ay namatay sa Cardiac and Respiratory Failure dahil sa Leukemia. Noong 1962, wala pang bone marrow transplant at chemotherapy at lahat mayaman man o mahirap ay namamatay sa ganung sakit.
Pagkamatay ni Danny, siya ay ibinurol sa LA FUNERARIA PAZ – na hanggang sa ngayon ay kinukonsidera na isa sa pinakasikat at mamahalin sa ganuong serbisyo. Muli, eto'y patunay na sila'y di mahirap na katulad ng sinasabi ni Manny.

Paanong ang isang kapatid na tulad ni Manny Villar ay gamitin sa kasinungalingan ang magagandang alaala ng kanyang kapatid na si Danny? Paano niya nataim na palabasing mahirap sila upang gamitin sa personal na interes at palabasing siya ay minsan na rin naging mahirap at pasinungalingan ang magagandang bagay ni ipinagkaloob sa kanya ng kanyang ama't ina?

Kung kaya ni MANNY VILLAR na magsinungaling na katulad nito, ano pa kayang kasinungalingan ang kaya niyang gawin sa taong bayan? Sa tingin nyo ba, kaya ng taong tulad nito ang magsabi ng totoo at iangat ng pamumuhay ng mahihirap? Sa tingin nyo ba, hindi rin kaya ng taong ito na mangurakot at magnakaw para sa sariling interes? Kung ginamit at itinatwa niya ang dangal ng kanyang pamilya sa kasinungalingan, hindi kaya't ang dangal ng bayan ay kaya rin niyang ibenta? Kayo ang magpasya.

Justice for the Parañaque Shootout Victims

2009-03-22T21:32:00.000-07:00

Last December of 2008, a father and his daughter were among the victims of a shootout between the Philippine National Police and suspected robbers.

According to abs-cbnnews. com, Alfonso de Vera and daughter Lea Alyanna were on board their Isuzu Crosswind when they were intercepted by policemen along Sampaguita Street in the United Parañaque Subdivision IV in Sucat district.

A witness said Philippine National Police-Special Action Force (PNP-SAF) members trained their guns and opened fire on de Vera even after he alighted from the vehicle.

“Nakita ko, nakita ko niratrat nalang ‘yung sasakyan ng mga operatives ng SAF kahit lumabas na si Alfonso ng sasakyan, pinagbabaril pa rin.’ Di tinigilan hangang mamatay s’ya nang nakaluhod,” said the witness.

Lately, an email's been circulating about the feelings and emotions of the wife and the mother of the victims.

Here is the email…

I considered myself as one of those blessed and happiest people on earth. Why not?

I married a guy who was an epitome of kindness. A guy who worshipped the very footsteps I made. More importantly, our union blessed us with a daughter who not only became the main source of our happiness…more so; she was the center of our lives.

We’re simple folks who led a simple life. We felt the happiest even about mundane things and inconsequential ones that most people would only take for granted. Our joy mostly revolved on simple pleasure like a sudden trip to Jollibee or a late night marauding of the fridge for any leftovers.

A perfect family with simple delights, dreams and aspirations. ..until that fateful night on December 5, 2008 . The day my husband and daughter were taken away from me in a very violent way. That Friday night on December 5, 2008 marked the beginning of all the terror, anguish and misery in my life.

In keeping with my ritual or “panata” on every first Friday of every month, I went to Quiapo Church on the above mentioned date to pay homage and respect to the Almighty One.

My husband and daughter were supposed to pick me up in Pasay City after which we planned on giving our daughter a treat to Jollibee. While riding the jeep, I tried to call my husband to tell him that I’m on my way to our meeting place.

But despite all the calls I made, my husband remained silent. A very unusual occurrence in as much as he seldom missed my calls.

Despite my trepidation and wonder, I took the next jeep going home and prayed that everything was alright. I even promised to myself that I will forgive my husband for not answering my calls and for forgetting to pick me up.

I felt relieved when near our place my phone rung. Such relief was somehow only momentary… in fact the phone call I got was the bearer of the worst news in my entire life. My helper called, only to tell me that my husband and daughter were shot to death by “men in uniform”. The same men who swore to protect innocent people from bad guys brutally slayed the two most important persons in my life. They were the same men whose sacred duty was to preserve the lives of the public against all harm and danger. Yet... they were the same men who murdered my love ones in the most cruel, savage and inhuman way.

My husband’s face was unrecognizable because he was shot in the head at close range while he was kneeling with his head bowed down. My daughter’s young body was riddled with bullets, one hit her head, blowing her brains out, all from too powerful guns and ammunition fired by the “men in uniform” at two innocent and defenseless persons.

The “men in uniform” were allegedly on a mission to take out some gang of robbers victimizing people at large. The police shot the crosswind van my husband and daughter were riding. Based on some witnesses’ narration, the police sprayed bullets into the van despite the lack of provocation or shots coming from the crosswind van.

In his last effort to save their lives, my husband grabbed my bloodied daughter and shielded her with his body while trying to run away from the police and tried to get cover from a parked jeepney My husband and daughter were so defenseless.

How can you mistake a child for a robber? How can you shoot at someone who was already kneeling with head bowed, an indication of helplessness? !

My husband and daughter are gone ... forever. The pains I feel for their lost is too much too bear. And the only thing that motivates me to go on with life is the mission to seek justice for their senseless killing. If the people who were responsible for their death will be punished, if I could bring them to justice, my pains would be alleviated. The misery I will live by will be lessened. My husband and daughter will be vindicated and I will learn to live the remaining years of my life in peace.Thus: I’m asking and begging everyone who will come across this letter/e-mail to forward the same to all your relatives, friends, and acquaintances. Help me bring my cause to the eyes of the people capable of steering the wheel of justice in the right direction.

Help me make the loudest cry worthy of attention by those people in-charge in rendering justice to those who deserve it.

Strength comes in numbers; it is where the impossible becomes possible. It is also where the unattainable becomes achievable.

My heartfelt gratitude for everyone who will take a moment in their too busy lives and forward this letter/e-mail to everyone they know.

May God always protect you and your loved ones from all harm.

~ Lilian de Vera

What happen to our country?

2009-01-03T21:20:00.000-08:00

Our country became a country of people who are greedy of power and selfish. No wonder why we are one of the most corrupt government not only in asia but all over the world, atleast this is one area that our country is on top for sure.

What kind of leaders do we have now?

Read it yourself and findout.....

The world has gone crazy...or should i say OUR LEADERS HAS GONE CRAZY...

The world has gone crazy by Bambee De la paz

So, I just had the worst day of my life.

At around 1:30 PM today, at Valley Golf and Country Club, Antipolo City, Mayor Nasser Pangandaman, Jr., Mayor of Masiu City, Lanao del Sur, his father, Secretary Nasser Pangandaman of the Department of Agrarian Reform, and company, beat my defenseless 56-year-old dad and my 14-year-old brother to a pulp because of some stupid misunderstanding on the golf course.

This is a golf course. I have been a golfer all my life, and I have never seen anything like this. NOTHING. This is hard to comprehend. And it happened to my own father and my own brother too. Right in front of my eyes.

The difference

2008-11-06T02:31:00.000-08:00

Why Is The Philippines Poor?

by Dr. Arsenio Martin of Fort Arthur, Texas ..

The difference between the poor countries and the rich ones is not the age of the country:
This can be shown by countries like India & Egypt, that are more than 2000 years old, but are poor.

On the other hand, Canada, Australia & New Zealand , that 150 years ago were inexpressive today are developed countries, and are rich.

The difference between poor & rich countries does not reside in the available natural resources.

Japan has a limited territory, 80% mountainous, inadequate for agriculture & cattle raising, but it is the second world economy. The country is like an immense floating factory, importing raw materials from the whole world and exporting manufactured products.

Another example is Switzerland, which does not plant cocoa but has the best chocolate in the world. In its little territory they raise animals and plant the soil during 4 months per year. Not enough, they produce dairy products of the best quality! It is a small country that transmits an image of security, order & labor, which made it the world's strongest, safest place.

Executives from rich countries who communicate with their counterparts in poor countries show that there is no significant intellectual difference.

Race or skin colors are also not important: immigrants labeled lazy in their countries of origin are the productive power in rich European countries.

What is the difference then? The difference is the attitude of the people, framed along the years by the education & the culture & flawed tradition.

On analyzing the behavior of the people in rich & developed countries, we find that the great majority follow the following principles in their lives:

1. Ethics, as a basic principle.

2. Integrity.

3. R esponsibility.

4. Respect to the laws & rules.

5. Respect to the rights of other citizens.

6. Work loving.

7. Strive for savings & investment.

8. Will of super action.

9. Punctuality.

10. and of course...Discipline

In poor countries, only a minority follow these basic principles in their daily life.

The Philippines is not poor because we lack natural resources or because nature was cruel to us. In fact, we are supposedly rich in natural resources.

We are poor because we lack the correct attitude. We lack the will to comply with and teach these functional principles of rich & developed societies.

If you do not forward this message nothing will happen to you. Your pet will not die, you will not be fired, you will not have bad luck for seven years, and also, you will not get sick or go hungry.

But those may happen because of your lack of discipline & laziness, your love for intrigue and politics, your indifference to saving for the future, your stubborn attitude.

If you love your country, let this message circulate so that many Filipinos could reflect about this, & CHANGE!

Pasasalamat

Isang bagong-saltang kaluluwa ang umakyat sa langit ang ngayon ay nakaharap kay San Pedro. Namasyal silang dalawa sa langit. Magkahawak-kamay silang naglakad-lakad sa isang malaking silid doon na puno ng mga anghel. Huminto si San Pedro sa harap ng isang lupon ng mga anghel at nagsalita, "Ito ang silid-tanggapan. Sa silid na ito, tinatanggap lahat ng mga kahilingan sa panalangin."

Pinagmasdan ito ng kaluluwa, at nakita nitong abala ang lahat sa pag-uugnay-ugnay ng mga kahilingan na nakasulat sa bunton ng mga papel na galing sa buong mundo.

Nagpatuloy silang maglakad hanggang madaanan nila ang pangalawang lupon ng mga anghel. Ang wika ni San Pedro sa kaluluwa, "Ito naman ang 'Packaging at Delivery Section'. Dito, ang biyaya at mga pagpapala na hiniling ng mga tao ay binabalot at dini-deliver sa mga tao na humingi noon." Nakitang muli ng kaluluwa kung gaano ito kaabala. Maraming anghel doon ang talagang subsob sa trabaho sa dami ng mga pagpapalang hiniling at dini-deliver araw-araw sa lupa.

Hanggang sa dumako sila sa huling lupon, sa pinakamalayong lupon. Huminto ang anghel doon sa isang maliit na lupon. Sa kanyang pagkamangha, iisang anghel lamang ang nakaupo doon, walang ginagawa." Ito ang 'Acknowledgement Section," sabi ni San Pedro.

"Bakit tahimik? Wala ba silang ginagawa rito?"

"Nakakalungkot, " sagot ni San Pedro,"pagkatapos makatanggap ng sagot sa kanilang mga panalangin ang mga tao, kakaunti ang nagbibigay ng pasasalamat. "

"Papaano ba magbibigay ng 'acknowledgement' ang mga tao sa Diyos?" "Simple lang. Sabihin mo lang na "Salamat po Panginoon."

"Ano bang pagpapala ang dapat nilang ipagpasalamat? "

"Kung may pagkain ka sa iyong hapag-kainan, damit na sinusuot, may bahay na tinutuluyan at kamang tutulugan, ikaw ay mas mayaman sa 75% sa mundong ito.

"Kung may salapi kang naiipon sa iyong pitaka at may natitira pang pambili ng pagkain, ikaw ay isa sa 8% na may mga kabuhayan sa mundo.

"Kapag nakuha mo ang mensaheng ito sa iyong computer, bahagi ka ng 1% sa mundong ito na may ganyang oportunidad.

"Kapag gumising ka sa umagang ito na walang sakit, mas pinagpala ka sa milyong tao sa mundong ito na hindi na makagising dahil sa hirap ng buhay. "Kung di mo nararanasan ang takot sa gitna ng giyera, ang kalungkutan sa loob ng piitan, ang pasakit ng mga pagsubok, at ang pangil ng pagkagutom, mas malayo ka nang milya-milya sa 700 milyong tao na nabubuhay sa mundo.

"Kung buhay pa ang iyong mga magulang at nananatiling magkasama sa bisa ng kasal, kakaunti lang kayo.

"Kung naititingala mo pa ang iyong ulo nang may ngiti sa iyong mga labi, hindi ka kasama sa karamihan. Naiiba ka kaysa sa kanila na puno ng kapighatian at mga kagulumihanan. " Tanong ng kaluluwa, "Kung gano'n, papaano ako magsisimulang magpasalamat? "

"Kung nababasa mo ang mensaheng ito, nakatanggap ka na naman ng dobleng pagpapala, dahil may isang nagpadala sa iyo na iniisip na espesyal kang nilalang, at mas pinagpala ka kaysa sa dalawang bilyong mga tao sa buong mundo na hindi marunong magbasa . . . "Pagpalain ang araw mo, bilangin mo ang iyong mga pagpapala, at kung ibig mo, pagpalain mo rin ang mga tao sa iyong paligid upang malaman din nila kung gaano sila pinagpala ng Panginoon.

ATTN: Acknowledgement Department:

"Salamat po, Panginoon. Salamat po sa pagbibigay mo sa akin ng abilidad na ibahagi ang mensaheng ito at sa pagbibigay mo sa akin ng mabubuti at magagandang tao na babahaginan nito! "Salamat po"

Globe broadband is not that broad after all

2008-09-09T08:30:00.000-07:00

Before I was using a dial-up connection for my internet and every time I downloaded a huge amount of software I always end up for nothing, because my connection keep on disconnecting.

That is the time I though of having a direct internet connection, after all having a monthly bill maybe fair enough since I can browse the internet without interruption because of disconnection.

When searching for an internet provider the first thing that went on my mind is the PLDT myDSL, because I already tried it once and I can say that I am satisfied with the service that they have.

Then I thought of getting the PLDT myDSL for my internet service provider, but I was offered to use globe broadband and since I haven’t heard any issue about their service and their advisement seems to be fine I end up getting the globe broadband.

And that is the start of my problem.

I begun to encountered a lot of issues in using the globe broadband such as, now I cannot open my email at yahoo because every time I tried to open it my pc always end up hanging.

Before I can open my feed thru feedburner.com to check on the status of my feed, now I can’t even see the feedburner page every time I tried to open it.

Even my blog, when I tried to open it will always end up a blank page.

Now I am stuck in using globe broadband because I will get penalized when I try to terminate their service.

Now I know that most of the advertisement that you saw on TV is not 100% true its just hype in promoting their product just like what the globe broadband is all about.

For now if I will be ask what will be the internet provider I would choose to use, I will definitely not choose globe broadband.

Balance

2008-05-16T20:57:00.000-07:00

Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael the Archangel found him, resting on the seventh day.

He inquired of God, "Where have you been?"

God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look, Michael. Look what I've made."

Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?".

"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put Life on it.

I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance."

"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.

God explained, pointing to different parts of earth.

"For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, but cold and harsh while southern Europe is going to be poor but sunny and pleasant. I have made some lands abundant in water and other lands parched deserts. This one will be extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."

The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a group of islands and said, "What are those?"

"Ah," said God. "That's the Philippines, the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful beaches, rivers, mountains and forests. The people from the Philippines are going to be handsome/beautiful, modest, intelligent and humorous and they are going to be found traveling the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking and high achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as carriers of peace and love."

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there would be balance."

God replied wisely, "Wait until you see the idiots I put in the government

" Mahal kong anak "

2008-03-23T07:00:00.000-07:00

Sa aking pagtanda, unawain mo sana ako at
pagpasensiyahan.

Kapag dala ng kalabuan ng mata ay nakabasag ako ng pinggan
o nakatapon ng sabaw sa hapag kainan, huwag mo sana akong kagagalitan.

Maramdamin ang isang matanda.
Nagse-self-pity ako sa tuwing sinisigawan mo ako.

Kapag mahina na ang tenga ko at hindi ko maintindihan
ang sinasabi mo, huwag mo naman sana akong sabihan ng "binge!"
paki-ulit nalang ang sinabi mo o pakisulat nalang.

Pasensya ka na, anak. Matanda na talaga ako.

Kapag mahina na ang tuhod ko,
pagtiyagaan mo sana akong tulungang tumayo,
katulad ng pag-aalalay ko sa iyo noong nag-aaral ka pa lamang lumakad.

Pagpasensyahan mo sana ako kung ako man ay nagiging makulit at
paulit-ulit na parang sirang plaka.
Basta pakinggan mo nalang ako.
Huwag mo sanaakong pagtatawanan o pagsasawaang pakinggan.
Natatandaan mo anak noong bata ka pa?

Kapag gusto mo ng lobo, paulit-ulit mo 'yong sasabihin,
maghapon kang mangungulit hangga't hindi mo nakukuha ang gusto mo.
Pinagtyagaan ko ang kakulitan mo.

Pagpasensyahan mo na rin sanaang aking amoy.
Amoy matanda, amoy lupa.

Huwag mo sana akong piliting maligo.
Mahina na ang katawan ko.

Madaling magkasakit kapag nalamigan,
huwag mo sana akong pandirihan.

Natatandaan mo noong bata ka pa? Pinagtyagaan kitang habulin
Sa ilalim ng kama kapag ayaw mong maligo.

Pagpasensyahan mo sana kung madalas, ako'y masungit,
Dala na marahil ito ng katandaan.
Pagtanda mo, maiintindihan mo rin.

Kapag may konti kang panahon, magkwentuhan naman tayo,
kahit sandali lang.
Inip na ako sa bahay, maghapong nag-iisa.
Walang kausap.

Alam kong busy ka sa trabaho,
subalit nais kong malaman mo na sabik na sabik
Na akong makakwentuhan ka,
kahit alam kong hindi ka interesado sa mga kwento ko.

Natatandaan mo anak, noong bata ka pa?
Pinagtyagaan kong pakinggan at intindihin
ang pautal-utal mong kwento tungkol sa iyong teddy bear.

At kapag dumating ang sandali na ako'y magkakasakit
at maratay sa banig ng karamdaman,
huwag mo sanaakong pagsawaang alagaan.

Pagpasensyahan mo na sana kung ako man ay maihi o
madumi sa higaan,
Pagtyagaan mo sana akong alagaan sa mga huling sandali ng aking buhay.
Tutal hindi na naman ako magtatagal.

Kapag dumating ang sandali ng aking pagpanaw,
hawakan mo sana ang aking kamay
At bigyan mo ako ng lakas ng loob na harapin ang kamatayan.

At huwag kang mag-alala, kapag kaharap ko na ang Diyos na lumikha,
ibubulong ko sa kanya na pagpalain ka sana ....
Dahil naging mapagmahal ka sa iyong ama't ina...

JUAN DE LA CRUZ " SILENT PLEA "

2008-02-06T01:58:00.000-08:00

My Fellow Filipinos,

When I was small, the Philippine peso was P7 to the $dollar. The president was Diosdado Macapagal. Life was simple. Life was easy. My father was a farmer. My mother kept a small sari-sari store where our neighbors bought sang-perang asin, sang-perangbagoong, sang-perang suka, sang-perang toyo at pahinging isang butil na bawang. Our backyard had kamatis, kalabasa, talong, ampalaya, upo, batao, and okra. Our silong had chicken. We had a pig, dog & cat. And of course, we lived on the farm. During rainy season, my father caught frogs at night which my mother made into batute (stuffed frog), or just plain fried. During the day, he caught hito and dalag from his rice paddies, which he would usually inihaw. During dry season, we relied on the chickens, vegetables, bangus, tuyo, and tinapa. Every now and then, there was pork and beef from the town market. Life was so peaceful, so quiet, no electricity, no TV. Just the radio for Tia Dely, Roman Rapido, Tawag ng Tanghalan and Tang-tarang-tang. And who can forget Leila Benitez on Darigold Jamboree? On weekends, I played with my neighbours (who were all my cousins). Tumbang-preso, taguan, piko, luksong lubid, patintero, at iba pa. I don't know about you, but I miss those days.

These days, we face the TV, Internet, e-mail, newspaper, magazine,grocery catalog, or drive around. The peso is a staggering and incredible P42 to the $dollar. Most people can't have fun anymore. Life has become a battle. We live to work. Work to live. Life is not easy. I was in Saudi Arabia in 1983. It was lonely, difficult, & scary. It didn't matter if you were a man or a woman. You were a target for rape. The salary was cheap & the vacation far between. If the boss didn't want you to go on holiday, you didn't. They had your passport. Oh, and the agency charged you almost 4months of your salary (which, if you had to borrow on a "20% per month arrangement" meant your first year's pay was all gone before you even earned it). The Philippines used to be one of the most important countries in Asia . Before & during my college days, many students from neighboring Asian countries like Malaysia , Indonesia , Japan and China went to the Philippines to get their diplomas. Until 1972,like President Macapagal, President Marcos was one of the most admired presidents of the world. The Peso had kept its value of P7 to the $dollar until I finished college. Today, the Philippines is famous as the "housemaid" capital of the world. It ranks very high as the "cheapest labor" capital ofthe world, too. We have maids in Hong Kong , laborers in Saudi Arabia , dancers in Japan ,migrants and TNTs in Australia and the US , and all sorts of other "tricky" jobs in other parts of the globe. Quo Vadis, Pinoy? Is that a wonder or a worry? Are you proud to be a Filipino, or does it even matter anymore? When you see the Filipino flag and hear the Pambansang Awit, do you feel a sense of pride or a sense of defeat & uncertainty? If only things could change for the better....... Hang on for this is a job for Superman. Or whom do you call? Ghostbusters. Joke. Right?

This is one of our problems.

We say "I love the Philippines .. I am proud to be a Filipino." When I send you a joke, you send it to everyone in your address book even if it kills the Internet. But when I send you a note on how to save our country & ask you to forward it, what do you do? You chuck it in the bin. I want to help the maids in Hong Kong .. I want to help the laborers in Saudi Arabia .. I want to help the dancers in Japan .. I want to help the TNTs in America and Australia .. I want to save the people of the Philippines .. But I cannot do it alone. I need your help and everyone else's. So please forward this e-mail to your friends. If you say you love the Philippines , prove it. And if you don't agree with me, say something anyway. Indifference is a crime on its own.

My Short Essay About The Philippines

2008-01-21T20:59:00.000-08:00

by Jaeyoun Kim

Filipinos always complain about the corruption in the Philippines. Do you really think the corruption is the problem of the Philippines? I do not think so. I strongly believe that the problem is the lack of love for the Philippines.

Let me first talk about my country, Korea. It might help you understand my point. After the Korean War, South Korea was one of the poorest countries in the world. Koreans had to start from scratch because entire country was destroyed after the Korean War, and we had no natural resources.

Koreans used to talk about the Philippines, for Filipinos were very rich in Asia. We envy Filipinos.Koreans really wanted to be well off like Filipinos. Many Koreans died of famine. My father & brother also died because of famine. Korean government was very corrupt and is still very corrupt beyond your imagination, but Korea was able to develop dramatically because Koreans really did their best for the common good with their heart burning with patriotism.Koreans did not work just for themselves but also for their neighborhood and country. Education inspired young men with the spirit of patriotism.

40 years ago, President Park took over the government to reform Korea. He tried to borrow money from other countries, but it was not possible to get a loan and attract a foreign investment because the economic situation of South Korea was so bad.

Korea had only three factories. So, President Park sent many mine workers and nurses to Germany so that they could send money to Korea to build a factory. They had to go through horrible experience.

In 1964, President Park visited Germany to borrow money. Hundred of Koreans in Germany came to the airport to welcome him and cried there as they saw the President Park. They asked to him, "President, when can we be well off?" That was the only question everyone asked to him. President Park cried with them and promised them that Korea would be well off if everyone works hard for Korea, and the President of Germany got the strong impression on them and lent money to Korea. So, President Park was able to build many factories in Korea. He always asked Koreans to love their country from their heart.

Many Korean scientists and engineers in the USA came back to Korea to help developing country because they wanted their country to be well off. Though they received very small salary, they did their best for Korea. They always hoped that their children would live in well off country.

My parents always brought me to the places where poor and physically handicapped people live. They wanted me to understand their life and help them. I also worked for Catholic Church when I was in the army. The only thing I learned from Catholic Church was that we have to love our neighborhood. And, I have loved my neighborhood. Have you cried for the Philippines? I have cried for my country several times. I also cried for the Philippines because of so many poor people. I have been to the New Bilibid prison. What made me sad in the prison were the prisoners who do not have any love for their country. They go to mass and work for Church. They pray everyday.

However, they do not love the Philippines. I talked to two prisoners at the maximum-security compound, and both of them said that they would leave the Philippines right after they are released from the prison. They said that they would start a new life in other countries and never come back to the Philippines.

Many Koreans have a great love for Korea so that we were able to share our wealth with our neighborhood. The owners of factory and company were distributed their profit to their employees fairly so that employees could buy what they needed and saved money for the future and their children.

When I was in Korea, I had a very strong faith and wanted to be a priest. However, when I came to the Philippines, I completely lost my faith. I was very confused when I saw many unbelievable situations in the Philippines. Street kids always make me sad, and I see them everyday. The Philippines is the only Catholic country in Asia, but there are too many poor people here. People go to church every Sunday to pray, but nothing has been changed.

My parents came to the Philippines last week and saw this situation. They told me that Korea was much poorer than the present Philippines when they were young. They are so sorry that there are so many beggars and street kids. When we went to Pagsangjan, I forced my parents to take a boat because it would fun.

However, they were not happy after taking a boat. They said that they would not take the boat again because they were sympathized the boatmen, for the boatmen were very poor and had a small frame. Most of people just took a boat and enjoyed it. But, my parents did not enjoy it because of love for them.

My mother who has been working for Catholic Church since I was very young told me that if we just go to mass without changing ourselves, we are not Catholic indeed. Faith should come with action. She added that I have to love Filipinos and do good things for them because all of us are same and have received a great love from God. I want Filipinos to love their neighborhood and country as much as they love God so that the Philippines will be well off.

I am sure that love is the keyword, which Filipinos should remember. We cannot change the sinful structure at once. It should start from person. Love must start in everybody, in a small scale and have to grow. A lot of things happen if we open up to love. Let's put away our prejudices and look at our worries with our new eyes.

I discover that every person is worthy to be loved. Trust in love, because it makes changes possible. Love changes you and me. It changes people, contexts and relationships. It changes the world. Please love your neighborhood and country.

Jesus Christ said that whatever we do to others we do to Him. In the Philippines, there is God for people who are abused and abandoned. There is God who is crying for love. If you have a child, teach them how to love the Philippines. Teach them why they have to love their neighborhood and country. You already know that God also will be very happy if you love others.

That's all I really want to ask you Filipinos.

Ang Sarap Maging Senador!!

2008-01-21T01:53:00.000-08:00

Maganda rin naman ang naidudulot ng pagiging prangka ni Senador Miriam Defensor-Santiago. Ayon kay Santiago, marami ang tumatakbong Senador dahil sa laki ng budget na ibinibigay sa kanila kada buwan.

Lumalabas na P35,000 suweldo nila kada buwan ay pakitang-tao lang sa milyun-milyong budget ng bawat senador. Kada buwan ay may Fixed Monthly Budget ang bawat Senador ng humigit-kumulang P2 Milyon.

Sa opisina pa lang nila ay humigit-kumulang P500,000 and budget nila sa Maintenance and Operating Expenses (Rental, Utilities, Supplies at Domestic Travels) at P500,000 para sa Staff at Personal expenses. Kaya para makatipid ang ibang Senador, kaunti lang ang staff na kinukuha nila.
Nagtataka ka pa kung bakit mayroong mga Ghost Employee?

Bukod diyan, may P760,000 allowance pa sila kada buwan para naman sa Foreign Travel. At ang masakit pa nito, hindi na kailngan i-liquidate ang mga resibo ng mga gastusin 'yan kundi Certification lang ang Requirement.

Heto pa, lahat sila ay Chairman ng mg Komite sa Senado. Ang Committee Chairman ay tumatanggap din ng budget na sinlaki ng tinatanggap ng mga Senador na humigit-kumulang P1 Milyon din! Hindi sila mawawalan ng Komite dahil 24 lang ang ating mga Senador at 37 naman ang Committee sa Senado.

There's food for everybody 'ika nga! Lumalabas na doble ang kanilang benepesiyo at kita kapag sila ay nabiyayaan ng Committee Chairmanship.

Sa P200 milyon na Budget para sa Pork Barrel ng mga Senador bawat taon, awtomatikong may 10% na S.O.P. o kita ng Senador na P20 milyon. Ito ang porsiyento na ibinibigay ng mga kontratista sa mga Senador na nagbibigay sa kanila ng mga Infrastructure at Livelihood Project.

Bago matapos ang termino ng isang Senador, kumita na siya ng P100 milyon sa Pork Barrel pa lang. Yung ibang Senador mas gahaman, hindi lang 10% kundi 20 - 30% ang komisyon hinihingi sa mga kontratista.

Pansinin niyo na lang ang pagbabago ng buhay ng ilan sa ating mga Senador simula nang manungkulan sa puwesto. Kung dati ay simple lang ang kanilang pamumuhay ngayon ay nakatira na sila sa mga eksklusibong subdivision, maraming bahay sa Pilipinas at abroad at mahigit lima ang sasakyan.

Ngayon nagtataka ka pa ba kung bakit gumagastos ng daan-daang milyong piso ang mga Senador sa kampanya para sa isang posisyon na P35,000 lang ang suweldo kada buwan? Bawing-bawi pala ang gastos kapag naupo na!

ANG SARAP MAGING SENADOR ! ! !

50 Pesos Isang Oras

2008-01-20T05:46:00.000-08:00

Isang araw, may isang lalaking gabi na umuwi ng bahay na pagod na pagod at naiinis, nang maratnan niya ang kaniyang maliit na anak na naghihintay sa kanya sa may pintuan.

"Tatay, puwede po bang magtanong?" "Sige, ano yon?" tugon ng ama.

"Tatay, magkano po ba ang kinikita ninyo sa isang oras?" "Wala ka na
roon… ba't ka ba nagtatanong pa ng ganyan, ha?" galit na sinabi ng
ama.

"Gusto ko lang po kasing malaman… sige na po, pakisabi n'yo na po kung magkano po ba ang kinikita ninyo sa isang oras?" ang paki-usap ng paslit.

"Kung kailangan mo talagang malaman ay nakaka-50 pesos ako isang oras."

"Ah," tugon ng paslit habang nakayuko at lumingon paitaas sa kanyang ama upang sabihin…

"Tatay, puwede po bang maka-utang sa inyo ng 25 pesos?"

Lalong nagalit tuloy ang ama.

"Kung ang dahilan lang ng pangungutang mo ay para makabili ka ng walang kwentang laruan o walang katuturang ibang bagay, mabuti pa…pumunta kang diretso sa kwarto mo at matulog ka na, at isipin mo kung bakit ka nagiging makasarili."

"Nagpapakahirap akong magtrabaho araw-araw, wala akong panahon sa ganitong pambatang kalokohan."

Tahimik na nagtungo ang bata sa kanyang silid at isinara ang pinto.

Naupo ang lalaki na lalong nagalit tungkol sa mga tanong ng paslit.

"Lintik na bata yon ah, magtatanong ng gan'un para lang makakuha ng pera."

Makalipas ang higit sa isang oras, ang lalaki ay nahimasmasan at nagsimulang mag-isip na masyado naman yata siyang naging marahas sa kaniyang anak.

"Siguro mayroon talagang importanteng bagay siyang bibilihin sa halagang 25 pesos... Kung sa bagay, bibihira naman siyang manghingi ng pera, eh."

Kung kaya't ang lalaki ay nagtungo sa silid ng kanyang anak at binuksan ang pinto nito.

"Tulog ka na ba, Anak?" tanong niya.

"Hindi pa po, Tatay. Gising pa po ako." tugon ng bata.

"Ini-isip ko na sobra naman yata ako sa `yo kanina, eh," ang sinabi ng lalaki.

"Medyo napagod kasi ako maghapon, kung kaya't ikaw tuloy ang nabalingan ko... O, heto na ang 25 pesos na hinihingi mo."

Naupo kaagad ang paslit habang nakangiting kinuha ang pera at malakas na nagsabing, "Salamat po, Tatay!"

Pagkatapos ay mayroong ina-abot ang paslit sa ilalim ng kanyang unan, at saka binunot ang mga gusut-gusot na pera

"Kasi po ay kulang pa po ang pera ko kanina… Pero, ngayon po ay kumpleto na po," ang tugon ng paslit.

"Tatay, mayroon na po akong 50 pesos ngayon… Puwede na po bang bayaran ko na lang po ang isang oras ninyo… para po… umuwi po kayo ng maaga bukas, …kasi po, gusto ko pong magkasabay naman po tayong kumain kahit po sana sa hapunan, eh."

Sa sinabing iyon ng kanyang anak, natigilan ang ama… dali-dali niyang niyakap ang kanyang anak!

DFA Noon at ngayon : experience sa pagkuha ng passport

2008-01-13T02:19:00.000-08:00

Hay naku…expire na passport ko, kailangan ko na uli mag re-new. Balita ko bago na ang passport ngayon, lagi ko naririnig sa balita na “Machine readable” na daw ang pasaporte ngayon.
Ano kaya ang DFA ganun pa rin ba?, pareho pa rin ba ng sistema makalipas ang pitong taon ng una akong kumuha ng passport?

Maaga akong pumunta sa DFA pero di gaya ng dati na ako lang magisa, ngayon may kasama ako sa pagrerenew.

Pagdating naming sa lugar, sa kalsada ay nagkalat pa din ang mga fixers at mga taong nagakukunwaring empleyado na nakabarong pa kaya aakalain mo na empleyado sila ng DFA na nagbibigay ng forms.
Pagdaan mo pa lang sa labas haharangin ka na kaagad ng mga taong naka uniformi , nakasuot ng barong at may ID pa pero ang ID nakatalikod para hindi makilala, ang unang tanong sa iyo agad ay kung kukuha ka ng bagong passport o magrerenew, kapag sinabi mo alin man sa dalawa, ang isusunod na tanong ay kung may forms ka na ba , kapag sinabi mo na wala pa ay agad kang aakayin papunta sa isang establisyemento at kunwari bibigyan ka ng “forms” tapos ay sasabihin sa iyo na magpakuha ka ng litrato sabay turo sa isang booth na sa kanila pa din, sa tema ng pananalita nila ay aakalain mo na empleyado sila ng DFA dahil pautos kung sila ay magmando sa iyo kaya naman maeengganyo ka na kumuha ng forms at magpakuha ng litrato sa kanila, pero pagdating sa loob ay makikita mo na iba ang forms na binibigay nila sa original forms na binibigay ng DFA..

Pagpasok sa loob ay hindi namin alam kung saan kami pupunta, may nakita kaming nakapila papasok sa basketball court kaya nagtanong kami kung anong pila yun, sinabi nga sa amin na pila daw yun papasok sa loob para makakuha ng forms kaya pumila kami. Gaya noon sa basketball court pa din kumukuha ng forms at nagveverify ng records, ang pinag iba lang ay may bubong na ito na di gaya ng dati ay open lang kaya babad ka sa init o ulan.

Pagpasok sa loob ay nagkakatulukan pa din papano’y iisa lang ang daaanan papasok at palabas ng basketball court kaya minsan sa dami ng tao sa labas ay di na makalabas pati ang mga tao sa loob na tapos na sa verification. Dapat sana ay sana ay hiwalay ang labasan at pasukan para hindi magkatulakan.

Pagpasok sa loob ay kumuha kami ng forms napansin ko na iba ang forms na binigay sa amin sa labas sa original na forms na ginagamit ng DFA, ang kuhaan ng forms di mo agad mapupuna dahil nasa isang sulok sa dulong bahagi ng basketball court. Di mo mapupuna dahil wala man lang malalaking sign board na nakalagay, pagkuha mo ng forms ay pupunta ka sa mga mesa na nasa mga tabi na gagamitin mo para makapagsulat sa forms na binigay sa iyo, gaya ng dati ay ganun pa din ang sistema, bakit kaya hindi na lang nilagay ang kuhaan ng forms at sulatan sa labas ng basketball court para ang mga taong nasa loob at yung mga taong magpapaverify lang. Nang matapos ko na masulatan ang forms na binigay,pumila uli ako para magpakuha ng litrato sa isang booth na makikita sa loob ng basketball court, doon na kami nagpakuha ng litrato ng kasama ko dahil mas malaki ang tsansa na hindi marereject ang litratong kukunan dito, kung marereject man ay madali mo maerereklamo sa kumuha ng litrato.

Nang matapos magpakuha ng litrato ay inayos namin lahat ng mga kakailanganin tapos ay pumila uli para sa verification ng application,Habang nakapila nakaramdam ako ng kakaiba, call of nature hehehe, kaya naghanap ako ng comfort room, may signboard ako na nakita na nagtuturo kung nasaan ang comfort room , pero nung hinanap namin ay wala naman kaming nakita, kaya kaya tiis na lang muna.

Nang matapos ang verification ay lumabas na kami sa basketball court pumila uli kami papasok sa building na ng DFA, doon tinignan yung application namin, tinanong kung overtime kasi iba ang bayad kung overtime o regular day ang processing ng passport mo, kapag overtime mabilis mo makukuha, one week lang makukuha mo na.

Ang pinili ko overtime para mabilis ang processing, ginawan nila ng resibo para mabayaran sa cashier na makikita sa loob ng conference room ng DFA, pila pa din ang pagpasok doon, nana mabayaran na namin ay pumila uli kami para naman sa encoding ng records sa computer , dito inabot kami ng apat na oras, nang matapos ang encoding ay binigay sa akin ang printout ng records tapos ay pinapunta uli kami sa isang area na doon naman kami mag lalagay ng thumbmark sa printout na binigay sa amin, tapos ay ibinalik uli namin ang printout na may thumbmark doon sa nagencode ng records, tapos ay pinababalik kami sa araw na nakalagay sa resibo kung anong date ka babalik para sa releasing ng passport.

Noong una akong kumuha ng passport, pitong taon na ang nakakararaan ay di kakikitaan ng malaking pagbabago ang sistema ng pagkuha ng passport, nagpalit palit na ng mga taong nakapwesto sa DFA pero ang sistema di pa rin nag babago, siguro nga kaya nahihirapang umasenso ang pilipinas dahil ang mga lider lang ang nagbabago pero ang sistema nakagisnan ay hindi na iimprove, sino ba ang dapat magisip para mapaganda ang sistema, tayo bang mamamyanan na nagbabayad ng buwis na pampasweldo sa kanila , o silang mga nakaupo na syang nagapapapasasa sa buwis natin.
