In an interview on “Pipol” that aired Monday, veteran singer Pilita Corrales said she endured 10 years of domestic abuse when she lived under the same roof with former husband Amado del Paraguay. “[It was] very bad, I was beaten up.

It will instill in you the right value that will increase your chance of not being out of work, and therefore out of money. After all, it is about keeping your job, thereby assuring a bright future. A lot of people, once hired, take their job for granted. It is no surprise that their employer would not mind firing them. Value your job as it is your key to a good future. Millions are unemployed.

(www.opusdei.us) Philippine Star | PHNOM PENH, 7/13/2012 – The Obama administration pressed Beijing yesterday to accept a code of conduct for resolv- ing territorial disputes in the resource-rich West Philippine Sea (South China Sea), a dif- ficult US mediation effort that has faced resistance from the communist government. China, for its part, said it is ready to “enhance” its dia- logue with the US. “China and US relations have continued to make progress this year,” Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said, adding the sides agreed to “enhance our dialogue... to continue to expand our com- mon ground.” US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met with Yang on the sidelines of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)’s an- nual conference. Sitting across from each other at a long table in a grand hall with chandeliers, Clinton stressed the different ways Washington and Beijing are cooperating. Yang spoke of building an even closer US- Chinese relationship. Neither side spoke about the South China Sea while reporters were allowed in the room. Several Asian governments have expressed concern about China’s expansive maritime claims. Tensions have threat- ened to boil over in recent months, with a standoff be- tween Chinese and Philippine ships and sharp disagreements between China and Vietnam. China claims virtually the entire area and has created an entirely new city to administer it, sparking deep concern from rival claimants. The sea hosts about a third of the world’s cargo traffic, has rich fishing grounds and is believed to store vast oil and gas reserves. “The United States has no territorial claims there and we do not take sides in disputes about territorial or maritime boundaries,” Clinton told foreign ministers gathered in Cambodia’s capital. “But we do have an inter- est in freedom of navigation, ABS CBN News | MA- NILA, Philippines, 7/2/2012 - A Philippine company has bagged the 2012 Superior Taste Award in Belgium for its all natural fish frankfurter.

Corrales blamed alcohol for her husbandrsquos violent episodes

ldquoOnce he would already take a drop of alcohol I was already like this (hands clasped in prayer) it would happen againrdquo she recalled

ldquo[There was a time] I was hit with a telephone here (points to her ear) -- it was bleeding -- can you imagine singing with thatrdquo Corrales said

Staying in spite of it

Decades after the grim chapter of her life Corrales is still befuddled as to why she stayed in the relationship after the first time she was hit

ldquoUp until now I cannot understand

why Why didnrsquot I just walk out and run I donrsquot understandrdquo she said

The strains from the abusive rela-tionship would soon affect peoplersquos perception of her Corrales recalled

ldquoWhat happens is that sometimes people say lsquoYou like to be beatenrsquo but then you tell yourself lsquoWhy didnrsquot you get out

ldquoPeople were telling me lsquoMy God gusto mo siguro magulpi Why didnrsquot you leave him after so many years kung ginaganoon ka namanrsquo Then I thought my goodnessrdquo she said

Not an hour

ldquoSeems like I thought if I leave him wala naman ako dito maghah-

anap naman ako ng iba I donrsquot want to be alonerdquo Corrales said

At the time Corrales nonetheless had her two children -- Jackie Lou Blanco and Ramon Christopher Gutierrez

ldquoUntil a certain day came -- parang sinabi ko -- thatrsquos it You leave and never go back It took me 10 yearsrdquo she said

Today the ldquoX-Factorrdquo judge said she wonrsquot stay in a relationship a year if she were faced with the same situation anew

ldquoIf it would have happened now the next day I will leave I wonrsquot stay an hourrdquo she said

San Diego County News Center | SAN DIEGO 7132012 -- A wild deer mouse trapped in North Es-condido during routine monitoring has tested positive for the poten-tially deadly hantavirus San Diego County vector control officials said Friday

ldquoInfected mice rarely pose a threat to people if they remain in the wild said Jack Miller director of the County Department of Environmen-tal Health But hantavirus can be a danger if infected rodents get in-doors and people come into contact with their droppings People should never sweep up or vacuum rodent droppings or nesting materials when they find them but use bleach solu-tions and sponges or mops to care-fully clean up insteadrdquo

Wild rodents primarily deer mice carry hantavirus People contract the disease by inhaling dust particles containing the virus from rodent droppings and nesting materials When the virus becomes airborne and is inhaled it can cause hanta-virus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) Symptoms which can develop between one to five weeks after ex-posure are similar to the flu but can lead to severe breathing difficulties and even death

Mouse tests positive for hantavirus

Death came swiftly suddenly but not it was not unexpected One day in October 2011the motor bike pulled into the open entrance in front of the church rectory of Italian missionary environmentalist and human rights defender Father Fausto Tentorio When he came out of the rectory the killer pulled out his gun and shot the priest dead and drove away Another shocking murder of a man who gave his life defending the ancestral lands of the indigenous people wanted by the mining com-pany Crime solved the trigger was most likely pulled by a unknown mining tycoon

Hundreds of environmentalists defending the rights of the people to their ancestral homelands forests and agricultural lands that are being stolen by the rich and the powerful have been killed according to Global Witness a non-government agency In the Philippines as many as fifty Filipino environmental defenders have been killed in recent years al-legedly by the money moguls behind the logging mining and power plant industries

The UN environmental summit in Rio De Janeiro in Brazil has been declared a failure fizzling out like a damp squib with an insignificant document that failed to reach a clear binding agreement to curb global warming and end fossil fuel for energy production It has achieved practically nothing to curb CO2 gas-ses and other harmful human activity that is causing global warming

It was supposed to get national leaders to agree to a sustainable green energy agenda for the future The super rich industrialists and multinational oil and fossil fuel corporations have played a sinister role behind the scenes to stymie any progress towards a cleaner safer and happier world Most come from a financial culture where Greed is Good and the only green they want to see is on a thousand dollar bill

In the Philippines the voices of the many people demanding an end to the construction of coal powered plants are being ignored and even protesters are receiving threats In Subic Bay the entire bay and its towns are threatened by the pro-posed 600 MW coal plant project of RP Energy a consortium with powerful political connections in the cabinet of President Aquino I pray that his energy policy will favor

renewable energy and not coal and fossil fuel His great legacy of anti-corruption might be sullied by these influential industrialists He must serve the best interests of the people not the profit-making plans of the plutocracy

Industrialists and financing cor-porations lobby heavily to influence governments to continue the fossil fuel fiasco like power plants that poison the people in many countries In the Philippines the Secretary of Energy is pushing President Aquino into the furnace of coal fired power plants like fury The honorable secretary has denied he is influenced in anyway by his past position in the private power generation sector

I pray for him to continue being good and faithful to the people and resist the pressures and temptations to give into the ploys of former associates employers in the power generation industry to whom he may have an debt of honor (utang na Loob) His greater debt of honor is to the President and the people who elected him and who want a clean healthy environment

The Secretary of Energy is report-ed to want eleven coal fired power plants all over the country Lower cost renewable sustainable electric-ity can be generated from volcanic heat through Geothermal plants and get lithium as a side product to make powerful batteries that can run clean electric cars However mysteriously heavy import taxes are imposed on geothermal equipment Almost none on mining and coal burning equip-ment

The Lopez group of companies First Gen Corporation is offering to construct two 300 megawatt hydro-plants on the Angat and Norzagaray rivers respectively Other companies offer clean renewable and solar and wind power to make electricity

The Philippines should end the black and dirty coal policy The pro-posed Subic Bay coal plant is mired in allegedly corrupt deals with the former government They will only pay one million pesos a year in rent These plants that are belching daily poison gasses and ash into the air we breath are killing people There is no long term solution to dispose of the millions of tons of deadly semi-toxic ash and the deadly mercury and ura-nium pollutants will remain forever The Lord of the Cosmos has given us a beautiful planet we are morally bound to protect and cherish it and all living creatures END

TFC brings RPrsquos current top screen moneymaker to 10

cities in the US

REDWOOD CITY CA July 12 2012 ndash When what seemed like an obscure little comedy fi lm starring an erstwhile perennial supporting ac-tress made a killing in the box offi ce back in 2009 grossing P80 million in six weeks the fi lm industry of the Philippines hailed the arrival of new comedy royalty in the person of Eugene Domingo

The fi lm was Kimmy Dora Kam-bal Sa Kiyeme which told the story of twins one smart and domineer-ing (Kimmy) the other slow and pure-hearted (Dora) both played by Domingo in a comic tour de force performance The latter appeared to

be the favored one of their beloved rich father Luisito Go Dong Hae (Ariel Ureta) and his handsome senior manager Johnson (Dingdong Dantes) which led to jealousy and a comedy of errors that resulted from an unintended kidnapping plot It had a happy ending though with the sisters realizing their love for each other and Kimmy fi nding a man for herself in six-packed farmer Barry (Zanjoe Marudo)

The fi lm was acclaimed for the in-credible energy and commitment of the cast led by Domingo in making the zaniest characters believable and relatable And then of course all of them were game to make serious fun of themselves including Domingo as Kimmy standing before a sexy but disinterested Dantes as Johnson

in a swimming pool delivering a hi-larious naughty spin on the famous quote from the movie Notting Hill ldquoIrsquom just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love herrdquo A clas-sic comic screen moment But this should be surpassed by the much-talked about borderline scandalous absolutely hilarious kissing scene in the sequel between the characters of Kimmy and true love Barry

Riding on the success of the original Kimmy Dora the tandem of director Joyce Bernal and writer Chris Martinez created a sequel with new twists and turns Titled Kimmy Dora amp The Temple of Kiyeme Bernal and Martinez collided humor with horror in a plot that takes the sisters to a discovery of an old family secret and a trip to South Korea to confront a vengeful spirit and reawaken the three men in the sistersrsquo lives who all have mysteri-ously fallen to sleep Be ready for unexpected characters and a thrilling ride watching the sequel

The new concept apparently worked Kimmy Dora amp The Temple of Kiyeme became only the second Filipino fi lm in 2012 so far to surpass P100 million in the box offi ce reaching almost P117 million in three weeks placing second only to The Amazing Spider-Man in the Philippines

ldquoSummer in the US is still fun and fantasy and without any doubt Kimmy Dora amp The Temple of Ki-yeme will give these to our audience in large dosesrdquo said Jun Del Rosa-rio TFC Head of Cable amp satellite Distribution and North America Marketing Strategist ldquoWe want to make sure that moviegoers here en-joy the breadth of the Filipino movie experience in US theatres so we will continue to offer quality fi lms with diverse themes for the familyrdquo

CEBU - The Archdiocese of Cebu offi cially commences the 100-day countdown to the Canonization of Blessed Pedro Calungsod on July 12 2012 Thursday

This is the Offi cial Logo for the

Canonization of the Young saint in Rome this October 21 2012 Blessed Pedro Calungsod is fa-mously dubbed as good friend and companion He died defending his priest-companion while on mission in Guam

100-Day Countdown to Canonization of Filipino from Cebu

By Zena Sultana Babao Contrary to popular belief the

church is not a building It is an as-sembly of people

When Jesus said ldquoI will build my church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against itrdquo Jesus was saying that the Church ndash His chosen people ndash would not die out It would be alive a warm and caring body of believers striving to serve God do His work and support each other

Before Christ came to earth God called only a few people out of their societies to serve Him and further His work Many of them are mentioned in Hebrews 11 a chapter in the Bible we could call the ldquoFaith Hall of Famerdquo

Even as Jesus called and worked through individual leaders and prophets to do spiritual work God established a physical nation to help fulfi ll His plan This nation the descendants of Abraham through his grandson Jacob (renamed Israel by God) was also known as Godrsquos church

God had a plan for Abraham In His mission to extend His love to all humanity God chose a man who was faithful and obedient to serve as a physical and spiritual role model Abraham set an example of obedi-ence in leaving his home country at Godrsquos command not even know-ing his destination He believed God would fulfi ll His promises in spite of the seeming impossibilities involved

Those who were called and chosen for a relationship with God in the past present and future are Abra-hamrsquo spiritual descendants but God also worked through Abrahamrsquos physical descendants One of the re-sponsibilities God gave to the physi-cal nation of Israel was to represent Him to show by example that Godrsquos way works

However we read in the Bible that not only did Israel fail to set a good example for its neighboring nations but the Israelites also broke their agreement with God and even caused Godrsquos name to be blas-phemed They didnrsquot have the heart needed to fully accomplish Godrsquos will and they resisted the Holy Spirit as does all mankind without the special calling of God

But God has a plan to make a new heart available to us all and to write His laws in our mind As a result of Christrsquos sacrifi ce Godrsquos Spirit is

The Church that Christ Builtnow available to individuals of any nation or race who genuinely repent and accept Jesus Christ as their Sav-ior and Lord Godrsquos ultimate pur-pose is salvation for all people both Israelite and gentile (non-Israelite)

And here enters the next step in Godrsquos plan ndash the founding of the Church

With the coming of the promised Messiah ndash Jesus Christ of Nazareth ndash the stage was set for a new phase in Godrsquos plan of salvation This phase involves God working through a group of people ndash the Church ndash who are spiritually transformed by the Holy Spirit God chose them not only to receive salvation but to carry out Godrsquos work for the ulti-mate benefi t of all humanity

By calling and training His dis-ciples Jesus prepared them to be His apostles (messengers) and a major part of the foundation of the Church The writings of the apostles continue to teach and support the Church as do the writings of the prophets in the Old Testament who are also part of the Churchrsquos foundation

Miraculous signs marked the beginning of the New Testament Church and Godrsquos giving of the Holy Spirit God wanted to draw at-tention to this event to call a sizable initial base from which the Church would expand into the world

ldquoSo then those who are in the fl esh cannot please God But you are not in the fl esh but in the Spirit if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ he is not His (Romans 88-9)

Without Godrsquos Spirit we are not Christrsquos Yet the Church is described as belonging to Christ ndash it is His Body and Bride ndash a spiritually trans-formed people The Spirit makes that change possible

God called many to repentance and the disciples baptized many The Church grew rapidly in the be-ginning with excitement and fervor evident in the Churchrsquos early history The book of Acts reports on later times of persecution and scattering as well as the growth of individual congregations throughout the Roman Empire as the apostles spread the gospel

Jesus predicted His fl ock would remain small and beleaguered down through history False prophets would even arise within the Church

There is no vaccine or specifi c treatment for hantavirus and the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report the disease has killed 36 percent of all the people known to have contracted it

The best way to prevent the dis-ease is to keep mice out of houses garages and sheds

How to Avoid Exposure

Eliminate rodent infestations im-mediately

Avoid rodent-infested areas and do not stir up dust or materials that may be contaminated with rodent drop-pings and urine

Clean up rodent droppings and urine using the wet cleaning method described below

Use ldquowet-cleaningrdquo methods to prevent inhaling the virus

DO NOT SWEEP OR VACUUM INFESTED AREAS

Ventilate affected area by opening doors and windows for at least 30 minutes

Use rubber gloves Spray a 10 per-cent bleach solution (2 tablespoons bleach to 1 cup of water) onto dead rodents rodent droppings nests contaminated traps and surround-ing areas and let the disinfectant stand for at least 15 minutes before cleaning

Clean with a sponge or a mop Place disinfected rodents and debris into two plastic bags seal them and discard in the trash

Wash gloves in a bleach solution then soap and water and dispose of them using the same double-bag method

Thoroughly wash your bare hands with soap and water

I remember reading a pamphlet of Opus Dei a religious group about work It advised that whatever your job is no matter how insignifi cant or menial it may be you must value it You must sanctify your work by doing a perfect job then offering it to God For instance if you are a janitor assigned to clean a toilet you must make it spic and span Clean it so well that you would not mind sleeping in it Then offer your perfect job to God For God is perfection He will be pleased and you will get fulfi llment and pride in your work no matter how lowly it may appear

Once you have a job save money to support yourself to college Go to a technical school fi rst During our time we have vocational courses here at Arellano Students learned to repair cars radios and televisions and learn bookkeeping Learn a skill like automotive cooking or computer work This will help you get a better job with better pay until you save enough to go to college at night while working during the day Or you can work and save money so that you can go into business Remember Lydiarsquos Lechon Jonirsquos Bakeshop They started small Just a one-table food stand Now they are big corporations You can do the same There are count-less examples If they can do it you can do it too

Once you have a steady career you can work hard and play hard

Imagine after high school you girls did not go to college What kind of jobs can you get Salesgirls earning

a few pesos I was told salesgirls in department stores are earning only below the minimum wage Kaya marami sila nakatayo lang na parang mga manikin Thatrsquos is why there are a lot of them standing like manne-quins With their very low pay the department store owners can afford to hire all of them Hundreds of them Siguro libre ang make-up Maybe the makeup is free for I notice that all of them are wearing some Without a college diploma you might end up as a domestic help Or worse Do you want your life to be like that

Some girls are determined to get married after high school hoping their husbands would support them They dream of staying home taking care of the house and the kids and living happily ever after Do you think that is possible Look around Almost all the girls who did so are as poor as rats desperate to survive as any uneducated jobless girl can be Why Because it is beyond logic It is not realistically possible It is a dream It is a fantasy To marry early and live happily ever after is a fairy tale Hindi mo makakain ang pag-ibig You cannot eat love our parents use to say Ang pag-aasawa ay hindi parang mainit na kanin na isusubo at iluluwa pag napaso ldquoMarriage is not a hot rice that is put in the mouth only to be spat out if one gets burnedrdquo so said an old Filipino saying Okay there might be one or two lucky enough to marry well and be sup-ported by their husbands But are they happy Being dependent on some-body else Many women who married irresponsible husbands or those with little education end up sacrifi cing for

their children They end up as bread-winners with no time for themselves But why leave your future to chance Why not take control of your life yourself and carve your own bright future Why not Believe you me there is nothing better than support-ing yourself instead of depending on other people

Of course at this period of your puberty you may fall in love Falling in love at a time when you clearly cannot afford to settle down and raise a family can be confl icting This is one trial every young man and woman had to pass through Like a rite of passage One must resist temp-tations curb onersquos passion control onersquos hormones and keep onersquos eyes on the prize - of fi nishing college and launching a career During our time we had classmates who eloped in their teens Some lived poor others got separated Donrsquot miss out on be-ing a bachelor or bachelorette Enjoy the bliss of singlehood You will be shortchanging yourself denying yourself of much greater happiness if you succumb to your feelings prematurely Those feelings will pass will fade away until you realize that being heartbroken at this point in your life is the best thing that could happen to you Better to focus on your career for now

We accompanied our youngest daughter on a campus tour of a uni-versity in Washington DC The tour guide aside from explaining all the advantages of going to that school told the prospective students ldquoIf you have a boyfriend or girlfriend you are leaving behind in high school or in your hometown I am telling you now to forget them No matter how much or how passionately you love them now For after a semester in this school you will not even think that they ever existedrdquo

Crushes come and go You will experience many of them True love will come your way without you even looking for it God will introduce you to the love of your life your lifetime mate the mother or father of our chil-dren without even you looking for him or her Just focus on your studies have fun going out with your friends boys andor girls and enjoy your youth Donrsquot shortchange yourself by

being happy at fi rst by marrying early only to feel sorry the rest of your life

One way of earning a scholarship to college is by joining the school band which I hear we have This is another avenue you should consider explor-ing

Of course there are those among you lucky to have parents to support you through college Value that great opportunity Donrsquot take it for granted Having a parental support however is not a guarantee for success It de-pends on the attitude of an individual

When I was in college a cousin of mine was brought to our house from the province by his mother She requested we let her son stay in our house so that he could go to college They could not afford a dorm for him to stay My mom agreed out of the goodness of heart That cousin of mine Ely stayed with me in my room I would sleep in my bed while he slept on the fl oor Eventually he moved to my fatherrsquos printing busi-ness in Quiapo for it was walking distance to his school He wanted to become an engineer and he had the intellectual IQ to tackle and succeed in the course A year later his younger brother Mario joined him Mario took up commerce at the Polytechnic University in Manila The brothers lived in the mezzanine fl oor of the printing press rent free Later Ely had a girlfriend They went out on dates despite the limited allowance his farmer father was sending him His girlfriend got pregnant and Ely was forced to quit school and go back to their barrio Mario soon graduated and was recommended for a job at the Central Bank of the Philippines by one of his professors During one of our family gatherings in the province Mario came driving his brand new car He made it big and transformed himself from being a naiumlve barrio boy into a successful bank executive His elder brother Ely the would-be engineer was there too No he did not come in a brand new car He came driving a tricycle which he used in plying his trade as a tricycle driver Given an opportunity you must grab it by the horns Donrsquot let it go until you cross the fi nish line

(To be continued)

Followed by another comment ldquoDo we now have in you a Dr Rizal of the 21st century I BELIEVE SOrdquo

I responded with the following ldquoDanny thanks for your comments and great COMPLIMENT I have been compared to some famous men before but Dr Jose Rizal Coming from you I am taking it as a real compliment Though this reminds me of San Beda Prof Regalado (who obtained the high-est grade in Bar exams history) when he told us ldquoA praise undeserved is a slan-der in disguiserdquo Being abroad and still concerned about the Philippines there is really a Rizal in all of us It is not unlike the Propaganda Movement in Madrid Spain crying for reforms during his and Lopez Jaenarsquos time So thank you again for the complimentrdquoDuring the darkest hours of Martial Law when the Philippines was gov-erned by a dictator named Ferdinand Marcos there were also efforts abroad by both Filipino-Americans and exiled Filipinos to expose the atrocities and abuses of the dictatorial regime Like the La Solidaridad during the time of Rizal there were also publications ar-ticles and books written to infl uence and advocate changes in US policies that favored or supported dictatorial regimes The targets for these advocacies and lobbying efforts were the US Congress the White House and the US State Department

One active organization leading the propaganda efforts was the Movement for a Free Philippines (MFP) led by Raul S Manglapus and later joined by Ninoy Aquino who was imprisoned by Marcos for several years We all know what happened to Aquino at the airport in Manila while under the ldquocarerdquo of Marcos soldiers Like Rizal he also died for the Philippine cause

What also impressed me during those years was the involvement of real Filipino doctors like Rizal They cam-paigned funded and led without fear until the US administration reversed its policies and supported the Fili-pino peoplersquos desire to recapture their freedom and dignity through the People Power Revolution

Subject to further additions in a future article that would also describe their respective roles let me mention some of them as I remember them at this writing

So you wonrsquot go to college because you are poor - Part 2

Follow Asian Journal on Twitter asianjournal

I have traveled to several places in Asia South America Europe and North America as a student business executive and lawyer

For sometime now my wife and I have been receiving invitations to join my sister and her husband on a cruise that is usually coupled with land tours

We never got around to accepting fi rst because the cruises were too long (two weeks or more) and second the cities involved in the land tours were places we had already visited

But last month we accepted the invita-tion because the cruise was only 7 days with an additional 3 nights in Madrid Spain

I have never been to Madrid I have always wanted to see envision and trace the movements of Jose Rizal and the other members of the Propaganda Movement during a very important period in our history

I was always interested in drawing parallelisms between and among the propagandists in the 19th Century led by the likes of Jose Rizal Lopez Jaena del Pilar and other members of the Propa-ganda Movement who operated in Ma-drid those in the 20th Century such as the members of Anti-Marcos groups led by Raul Manglapus and Ninoy Aquino who operated in Washington DC and todayrsquos bloggers columnists Twitters Facebook status updaters commentators and other opinion-makers of both the main media and social networks in this 21st Century

When I wrote an article entitled ldquoOld 4Gs to New 4Gs Gaining Groundrdquo It elicited a reaction from Danny Be-navente a resident of Southern Califor-nia but born and raised in my hometown of Rosales Pangasinan Philippines

He said ldquoBrilliant Just plain bril-liant This one can resonate to as far and to the highest public offi ce in the PIrdquo

Four Keys of Life

Irsquom like most people throughout the world someone whose life has been impacted in one way or another by breast cancer In my case mem-bers of my family have dealt with it plus my sister passed away from it a few years ago There are numerous great organizations helping people and ldquoSusan G Komen for the Cure is the global leader of the breast cancer movement boasting the worldrsquos largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activ-

ists The organization has included ldquoThe Four Keys of Liferdquo to their education literature to encourage and promote breast self-awareness

The four keys1 Talk to your family There is

still hesitancy in many families to talk about personal health issues especially where ldquofemale cancersrdquo such as breast endometrial and ovarian cancer are concerned But studies have connected shared genetic components between breast cancer and other cancers that may be useful in understanding your risk

of contracting the disease Providing your doctor with your family health history may lead to a better under-standing of your personal risk

2 Get screened Your doctor will determine what screening tests are right for you For women of ldquoaverage riskrdquo clinical breast exams should begin at age 20 and be repeated every three years Annual mammograms should begin at age 40 For higher risk women addi-tional screenings such as an MRI may be recommended by your health care provider

3 Know what is normal for you Any visible or palpable changes to your breasts should be reported to your doctor These changes include a lump hard knot or thickening swelling warmth redness or darken-ing a change in the size or shape of the breast dimpling or puckering of the skin itchy scaly sore or rash on the nipple pulling in of the nipple or other part of the breast nipple discharge that starts suddenly new pain in one spot that does not go away How to perform a Breast Self-Examination (BSE) can be found at wwwkomenorgbse

4 Make healthy lifestyle choices Studies and scientifi c literature purport that maintaining a healthy weight adding exercise to your rou-tine and limiting alcohol intake may all reduce the risk of breast cancer

HistorySusan G Komen fought breast

cancer with her heart body and soul Throughout her diagnosis treatments and endless days in the hospital she spent her time thinking of ways to make life better for other women battling breast cancer instead of worrying about her own situation Moved by Susanrsquos compassion for others and commitment to mak-ing a difference Nancy G Brinker promised her sister that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer Though Susan lost her battle with the disease her legacy lives on through the work of Susan G Ko-men for the Curereg the organization Nancy started in her honor Komen for the Cure is the global leader of the breast cancer movement having invested more than $1 billion since its inception in 1982 Komenrsquos promise is to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empower-ing people ensuring quality care for

all and energizing science to fi nd the cures

In San Diego Since 1995 In 1995 a group of passionate

committed health educators and breast cancer survivors did more than just imagine They acted by founding the San Diego Affi liate of Susan G Komen for the Cure Since its inception in 1995 Komen for the Cure San Diego has awarded grants totaling more than $85 million dollars to local organizations that have made valuable contributions to breast cancer diagnostics treatment education screening and patient support Through events and dona-tions Susan G Komen for the Cure is able to bring funding and hope to the fi ght against breast cancer Each year the Komen Race for the Cure and the Breast Cancer 3- Dayreg raise signifi cant funds and awareness for breast cancer celebrating breast cancer survivorship and honoring those who have lost their battle with the disease With pledges from these events and donations throughout the year strides are being made to continue the quest for a cure

Each year 75 percent of proceeds are awarded through a grant process to local organizations Each grantee conducts a program that offers breast cancer education screening or treat-ment to residents in the San Diego area

The remaining 25 percent is directed to the Susan G Komen for the Cure National Grant Program to fund research on a national and in-ternational level Since the Affi liatersquos inception in 1995 nearly $7 million has been given to local organizations that provide breast cancer education screening diagnostics treatment and patient support for the uninsured or underinsured in San Diego County

Change the system Be the solution You can be the difference You can

help end breast cancer forever The Komen Champions for the Curereg advocacy program is focused on educating Congress federal offi cials state legislators and other policy makers about breast cancer through community involvement Komen Champions for the Cure was in-spired by the commitment and force of Komen volunteers who want to join the fi ght

From breast cancer research to early detection and quality care Ko-men Champions for the Cure aims to

infl uence the federal government on crucial breast cancer issues by con-tacting Members of Congress By challenging candidates and those in public offi ce to make breast cancer a priority you can change the system and you can be the solution to breast cancer

Exercise May Reduce Risk of Breast Cancer

Being physically active is one of the best things you can do for your health Exercise may help lower your risk of developing or dying from breast cancer

The Church that Christ built

(Continued from page 4)

dividing and diluting its message These prophecies indeed came to pass False teachers introduced a host of different doctrines and practices in the church The Bible shows that Satan the being ultimately behind this counterfeit Christianity has deceived the whole world and that Satanrsquos ministers usually appear as ministers of righteousness

Satanrsquos inroads into the Church were so rampant at this stage near the end of the First Century that true Chris-

tians were actually excommunicated from some congregations

Although Satan has repeatedly at-tacked and tried to destroy it the Church has not died out Though the details have often been hard to fi nd in history Godrsquos Church created by Jesus Christ has survived the worst persecutions of the Roman Empire and the Dark Ages as well as the attacks of more recent times

Somewhere on earth members of the small fl ock have always continued to serve God to the best of their under-standing and ability Today the Church that Christ built continues as a small but active and faithful body striving to spread Godrsquos good news in a faithless world ndash zenasultanahotmailcom

IMMIGRATION 911 By Atty Susan V Perez

While there is a shortage for nurses in the United States there is still no indication when USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) will resume issuing immigrant visas to fi ll the void There are many skilled and experienced foreign nurses in the United States who are looking for jobs in vari-ous hospitals and healthcare facilities Hospitals and health care facilities want to utilize their skills and services but there arenrsquot immigrant visas available because of the retrogression Irsquove talked to Filipino registered nurses who have been waiting for the immigrant visa for a long time and are willing to take nonimmigrant visas

THE H-1B NONIMMIGRANT VISAThe H-1B program allows employers

to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise in a specialized fi eld and a bachelorrsquos degree or its equivalent Typical H-1B occupations include architects engineers computer programmers accountants doctors and college professors Certain specialty occupations in the nursing industry may qualify for H-1B nonimmigrant status Specifi cally a narrow group of nurses holding a baccalaureate or higher degree (or equivalency) in nursing that includes advanced practice nurses (such as Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS) Nurse Practitioners (NP) Certifi ed Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA) and Certifi ed Nurse-Midwives (CNM)) nurse managers and nursing adminis-trators may qualify for H-1B status According to USCIS data the issuance of H-1B visas for specialty occupation nurses varies greatly from year to year In recent history the greatest number of H-1B nurse visas issued in any given fi scal year was only 136 The H-1B visa for specialty occupation nurses is avail-able to qualifi ed nurses from all foreign countries However the limited scope of eligible specialty occupations greatly narrows the potential use of the H-1B to fi ll US nursing job vacancies For instance many RNs may not qualify for an H-1B because employers and state licensing boards do not usually require a BSN to perform services as a registered nurse On June 11 2012 the H-1B cap has been reached and USCIS stopped accepting applications for H-1B The next H-1B season will be open on April 1 2013

THE H-1C NONIMMIGRANT VISAThe H-1C nonimmigrant classifi ca-

tion enables foreign nurses to perform services as a registered nurse in a US health professional shortage area as determined by the US Department of Labor To qualify for an H-1C visa both the employer and employee must meet certain eligibility criteria The US employer must 1) be a ldquosubsection (d)rdquo hospital under the Social Security Act 2) be located in a ldquoHealth Profes-sional Shortage Areardquo 3) have at least 190 acute care beds 4) have a Medicare population of no less than 35 5) have a Medicaid population of less than 28 and 5) be certifi ed by the Department of Labor

Since the H1-C nonimmigrant visa program sunset on December 20 2009 visas for hundreds of nurses have expired or will expire soon leaving H-1C authorized healthcare employers struggling to provide much-needed pro-fessional nursing care with a dwindling nursing staff HR 1933 is currently pending before the US Senate Judiciary

Committee which would reauthorize the H-1C nonimmigrant visa program Ac-cording to recent information provided by this committee HR 1933 remains on its agenda but is not yet scheduled for a Senate vote As drafted the bill will reauthorize the availability of 300 H-1C visas for an initial validity period of three years with the opportunity to renew H-1C status for an additional three years There is however no guar-antee that HR 1933 will be approved and become a law

THE H-3 TRAINEE VISAThe H-3 visa is a rarely used option

available to temporary workers includ-ing nurses The primary purpose of this visa is to enable the foreign nurse to receive training and not to provide productive employment unless such employment is incidental and necessary to the training It is better than the F-1 or student visa because they get paid during the training

The H-3 trainee has been defi ned by the Code of Federal Regulations as ldquoa nonimmigrant who seeks to enter the United States at the invitation of an individual or organization for the purposes of receiving training in any fi eld of endeavor such as agriculture commerce communications fi nance government transportation as well as training in a purely industrial establish-mentrdquo1 Physicians are not eligible to apply under this category but nurses are For nurses the basic requirements are 1) the proposed training is unavailable in the home country 2) the training is designed to benefi t the applicant in pur-suing her career in the home country 3) the nurse has passed the licensure exam in the country where she obtained her nursing education and 4) a statement from the petitioning employer that the applicant is fully qualifi ed to engage in the training

It is important that the employer dem-onstrate that the trainee will be returning to another country to use the skills he or she gained in the United States At the interview the applicant nurse must show that he or she will not abandon residence in a foreign country and that he or she intends to depart the United States at the end of the training program Therefore the H-3 petition may be denied if the applicant nurse has a certifi ed perma-nent labor certifi cation or has an I-140 Immigrant Petition fi led by the same employer on his or her behalf

The training program should not be longer than two (2) years There will be no extension change of status or re-admission to H or L status granted after two (2) years unless the alien resided and is physically present outside the United States for six (6) months This is not too bad compared to the J-1 trainee

who is required to stay in his or her home country for two years Spouses and children of the H-3 visa holder are eligible for H-4 dependent status

H-3 visa holders are given social security numbers and will be paid while undergoing the training However they should not be receiving as much as the regular employees because this can be perceived as displacing the US citizens

Philippine Star | Manila Philippines 792012 - The province of Bohol is out to reclaim its post as the top tourist destination in the country

This is the newfound vision of the government of Bohol which recently launched its newest tourism campaign mdash dubbed ldquoBohol Heart of the Islands Truly Philippinesrdquo mdash in partnership with Philippine Bohol Arts Foundation Institute (PABFI) and the provincersquos tourism stakeholders

Aimed at immensely boosting local and foreign tourist arrivals and making the province the countryrsquos preferred travel desti-nation the campaign showcases Boholrsquos rich cultural and historical heritage highlighting its rich eco-cultural value beyond the Chocolate Hills and the diminutive tarsiers the worldrsquos smallest primate

ldquoOther than the usual sites that are being promoted here the Loboc River the Chocolate Hills the tarsi-ers and the white sand beaches of Panglao there is more to discover in Bohol that will make a greater tourism impact not only for the province but also in relation to the Philippine context of promoting the countryrdquo said Bohol Governor Edgar Migrintildeo Chatto

The event held at the Centennial Hall in Manila Hotel gathered key public offi cials and tourism leaders

More Fun in the Philippines Bohol rolls out new tourism campaignincluding Manila Hotel president and former senator Joey Lina Philippine Tour Operators As-sociation (PHILTOA) president Cesar Cruz and Tourism Secre-tary Ramon Jimenez Jr

Others who graced the event were prominent travel program personalities Susan Calo Medina and Cory Quirino PBAFI execu-tive director Ria Cauton Tigum Bol-anon Tibuok Kalibutan (TBTK) president Betty Garcia Bohol Provincial Council chair Lucas Nunag board members of the province of Bohol and Amor Maclang director for PR and Communications of GeiserMa-

Bohol Governor Edgar Chatto and De-partment of Tourism Secretary Ramon Jime-nez shake hands during the unveiling of the Bohol campaign Bohol Heart of the Islands Truly Philippines

clang Marketing Communications Inc (GMCI) who later presented the marketing framework of the campaign

Located in Central Visayas Bohol literally sits in the heart of the Philippine archi-pelago Boasting diving sites revered as among the best worldwide the province is home to a number of natural wonders such as mdash aside from the Chocolate Hills mdash the biggest mangrove planta-tion in Asia and the Dajanon Bank the lone double-barrier reef in the region and one of

only six such marine structures in the world

Chocolate Hills do turn green during the rainy season

Apart from its diverse marine and terrestrial life and picturesque land-scapes a unique element that makes Bohol a truly quintessential Filipino destination is the great display of the remarkable and lively dynam-ics between the Filipinosrsquo inherent animistic and Catholic cultures

ldquoBohol and its people have a cer-tain respect and appreciation for her-itage and traditionrdquo Chatto shared ldquoThis is why we have come up with this campaign to highlight the capti-vating charm that Bohol exudes and the heartwarming hospitality offered by Boholanos themselvesrdquo

One of the things that Bohol would like to promote and enrich through its new tourism campaign is the element of nationalistic pride ldquoBy showing everyone how Boholanos have preserved practices and beliefs that other Filipinos have already

seemed to forget we are also able to emphasize the value of cherishing their heritagerdquo PBAFI executive Ria Cauton noted ldquoIn an age when our culture are soaked in various colonial ideas and infl uences thatrsquos really something that has become rarerdquo

Boholrsquos colorful history can be seen all over the prov-ince mdash especially when one looks upon its well-preserved Hispanic structures scattered

all over like the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in

Dauis which attracts thousands of devout Catholics every year and the Church of Our Lady of the Immacu-late Conception in Baclayon which is touted as Asiarsquos best-preserved Jesuit church

In addition other reasons that permit the province to say ldquoYou canrsquot say yoursquove been to the Philip-pines and truly experienced Filipino culture without having gone to Bo-holrdquo are its rich and distinct culinary offerings vibrant nightlife thriving art scene and ancestral craft-making practices All of these underscore the fact that indeed one of Boholrsquos main assets is its hospitable con-stantly jovial and honest people

ldquoYou donrsquot have to be from Bohol to love Boholrdquo revealed Secretary Jimenez ldquoItrsquos simply being part of a rich cultural experience that makes a visit to Bohol unforgettable The Loboc Childrenrsquos Choir for ex-ample has become a symbolic icon of the province precisely because as an American friend who heard them once said lsquoYou cannot sing the way they do if you are not happyrsquordquo

Take a fl oating lunch cruise along the Lob-oc River in Bohol

Corella is another inland town some 10 km north of Tagbilaran Bohol In Corella you can visit the Tarsier Sanctuary where tarsiers are observed protected and are freely living on its natural habitat

Just like in any part of the world a certain place will always have a spe-cifi c food that will be considered as its ldquospecialtyrdquo In Bohol Philippines there are also a lot of foods that tour-ists must try These Bohol foods are highly recommended that one must not leave Bohol without eating such foods otherwise their stay would not be very memorable

The Bohol food that tourists must try if they are by the Alona Beach is seafood The most recommended one is prawns Oftentimes this type of Bohol food is grilled One of the restaurants in Bohol that offer seafood is JASZ Restaurant This is a recommended restaurant because prices are affordable Other Bohol restaurants by the Alona Beach that offer seafood are the Panglao Beach Resort Restaurant Trudi and The Pyramid

Those who are not much into seafood may try dining at another Bohol restaurant called the Loboc River Cruise Lunch Recommended Bohol foods offered here include omelette grilled vegetables pork and chicken barbeque Seafood lov-ers are also suggested to visit this place as it serves superb seafood like lapu-lapu fi sh calamari and tigerprawns Tourists are suggested to have desert such as fresh fruits The prices of the Bohol foods at the Loboc River Cruise Lunch are quite expensive However nothing beats the taste of its foods as everything is just so delicious

If tourists want a Western-themed restaurant they must try out the Gar-den Cafeacute ndash American that is located in Tagbilaran City Placing orders at this restaurant is quite different from the usual restaurants that we go to One has to write down the orders and hand it over to the waitress This

THE METAMORPHOSISby Ernie D Delfi n America just turned 236 years

old In its over two centuries his-tory America has gone through the fi re that made it strong and stable Through countless trials during her lifetime such as the Civil War two World Wars many foreign wars like the Vietnam War and Iraqi War and civil unrests to name a few many American lives have been sacrifi ced to fi ght for what she believes in The last several years economic depressions or recessions that impoverished millions of people have become top issues in the country that have energized Amer-icans to debate intensely what is the right course for their country to pursue to better serve the well-being of her citizens and to bring back the luster and glory of America Due to national concerns on many is-sues like health care housing and global concerns on trade peace and foreign aid against the backdrop of an emerging superpower China Americarsquos national priorities and foreign policies will see a shift that will cause radical changes in this na-tion This election year will be an-other defi ning moment for America to steer Americansrsquo desire for their government to do to preserve its sta-tus as a superpower and envy of the world Despite its socio-economic problems and several foreign policy blunders that caused a signifi cant decline in Americarsquos infl uence in the world the last decade or so Ameri-cans are still a very lucky people as we are still guaranteed justice liberty and the pursuit of our own happiness that more than half of the earthrsquos population can just dream about

With that as a background I am quite grateful and fulfi lled this Independence Day 2012 as I also celebrated another birthday on July 5th (Philippine time) which is July 4th in America As 4th of July is a major holidays in the United States it has always been an opportune time for me to review my life and refl ect upon lifersquos meaning during this holiday amidst the elaborate fi re-works that surround the city where we live Having lived for over six decades now on this planet 60 of which in the American soil I can-not ask for more as I feel that I have had a ldquogood liferdquo on this earth with people I love and who love me too

The last 365 days since my last birthday were replete with surprises

events experiences and personal episodes that made me quite grateful that I am still alive and happy Like America as a person grows older (and wiser) his priorities change but his core values that serve as his compass remains constant That inexplicable feeling of joy and happiness as well as pains and suf-ferings often come to our lives as certain as the sunrise in the morning and sunset in the evening The past year has caused in me a good mix of human emotions happy sad scared regretful (for many things I have done or not done) hopeful and grateful that I am still alive and kicking today Less than a year ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and to the best of my memory I am the fi rst in my family to be stricken with that dreadful ldquoCrdquo ailment Such unexpected diagnosis from my annual medical exams has caused a very high degree of anxiety and ldquopains and sufferingrdquo within me and my family However I discovered solace and strength in my new found spiritual journey accepting that our Lord not us is in control of our lives and has admonished His people to ldquoBe not afraidrdquo Surprisingly I learned that His ldquoBe-not-afraid- advicerdquo appeared in the Bible 365 times

Thanks to my God the greatest Healer months after my surgery early this year my doctor told me that I am now a cancer survivor as my PSA level is now at negligible level He told me that he doesnrsquot want to see me more than twice a year now

Amidst that scary episode how-ever I also enjoyed many things during the past year like our month long adventure to Vienna Rome London and Paris with my one and only wife of over 30 years as our second honeymoon (many will be smiling or LOL with that bold disclosure) Another inventory of joyful accomplishments included the successful chartering of the Global Kalinga e-Rotary Club fi rst e- Club in Rotary District 3780 (and the second one in the entire Philip-pines) that I initiated and founded last year with 40 charter members who live in 6 countries that is expected to double by our fi rst An-niversary date in Oct 2012

This e-Rotary Club is like an infant that remains so tender and fragile that it needed a lot of patience and nourishment to grow But like lov-ing parents many of our committed

Independence Day 2012 and Birthday Refl ections

members are matured and patient enough to nurture this e-Rotary baby to develop it to become an Olym-pian athlete to compete in the near future Our GKeRotary Club has now members from many nationalities like Caucasians Hispanics Blacks Canadians Nigerians and Filipinos (from Luzon to Mindanao) who reside in as many 6 countries today As we grow in number with closer camaraderie among us doing many meaningful ldquoService Above Selfrdquo humanitarian proj-ects in the Philippines as well as in the city where we live we will have more FUN in this borderless e-Rotary Club than the traditional Rotary Club that meets weekly

Adhering to the ldquoSecretsrdquo in achieving a fulfi lled life by con-scious efforts (until they become unconscious efforts) to ldquobalanc-ing your Liferdquo into its essential quadrants PHYSICAL (to live) MENTAL (to learn) SOCIAL (to love) and SPIRITUAL (to leave a legacy) I have consciously put more time in one area that matters most (once you are over 60 like me) the ldquoleaving a legacyrdquo quadrant Itrsquos a fact of life that when you become a senior citizen you can no longer do many things nor eat many foods that you enjoyed when you were one and twenty when you were in high school or college so you simply adjust to your new reality Each morning that you wake up and able to walk and see the sunrise hear the chirping of birds smell the aroma of freshly brewed Healthy Coffee itrsquos always a small miracle and you thank the One Who gave you life Having accepted my own mortality that one day I will also meet my Maker I have replaced a good por-tion of ldquobusinessrdquo hours into vol-unteerism or ldquoService Above Selfrdquo hours in my church and several NGOs like the Rotary Interna-tional that truly render humanitarian works to others

Also for about fi ve years now I have been attending a weekly morn-ing Bible Study that has contributed greatly in the balancing of my life that is very hard to do in a materi-alistic society like the USA The word BIBLE has been creatively defi ned to mean ldquoB asic L essons B efore L eaving E arthrdquo and in so many ways it lsquos true All of us homo sapiens undergo that human journey like the biblical ldquoprodigal sonrdquo who must leave the family home goes away (to experience new things both good and bad) and hopefully comes back home (to his Father) as he must undergo some profound changes (for his own salvation) Life without any kind of metamorphosis the caterpillar would never become a beautiful and colorful butterfl y So does a person must undergo many phases of his transformation to enjoy his journey on this earth before he goes into that blissful state that many call Heaven or Paradise

Additionally last year I also fi nished by certifi cation classes and has been ldquocertifi edrdquo by the Diocese of Orange and the Orange County Sheriff to wear a white badge as a ldquoRestorative Justice Ministerrdquo aka ldquoPrison Detention Ministerrdquo where we visit and minister to the inmates in the Orange County Jails every week for Bible Study andor Catholic Com-munion Services every week

Meeting these ldquoinmatesrdquo (thatrsquos what they are called in County Jails in state or federal prison the incarcerated are called ldquoprisonersrdquo) and listening to them and ministering to their ldquospiritualrdquo needs on a weekly basis have an-nihilated many myths and miscon-ceptions that I used to hold ldquoagainstrdquo them Due to some educational and cultural biases I used to believe that all those in prison deserved to be there as they are ldquobadrdquo criminals but slowly I have softened that stand I now believe that although these in-mates are incarcerated they are still human beings also who still possess their human dignity as children of the same God Many martyrs and saints of the church like St John the Baptist and St Paul were also in prison The prison system is a part of the human society since biblical times and its worsening conditions in many areas are a sad refl ection of all of us en of the same God Many martyrs and our lives and He has admonished His people to ldquo

Punishments and Restorative

Justice are two schools of thoughts that are being administered in many prisons today The Catholic and many Christian churches advo-

cate that more must be done in the rehabilitation or in the Restorative Justice of inmates or prisoners in the Justice System to give back their human dignity even when they are incarcerated

Being a Prison Detention Minister and just listening and observing these inmates during our Catholic Communion Services that we do for them is another human experience

that can potentially convert a sinner like me into a better human being For instance I got an unexpected education from one woman inmate

when she declared ldquoI am now very happy that I was arrested for what I did I consider my arrest as my own rescue from a certain deathrdquo What a paradigm shift Now I can understand why there are many spiritual conversions that occur in prison because God does not leave a person wherever he is because He is everywhere

To any practicing Catholic (or any religion for that matter)

out there I highly recommend that he or she tries to see if becoming a Prison Detention or Restorative Jus-tice Minister is right for him or her It is a wonderful experience There is a great need for more dedicated and willing volunteers to minister to the spiritual needs of this growing prison population in America today

The foregoing column is a very sobering personal refl ection on

this 4th of July weekend that I am boldly sharing to all readers and my friends with a ray of hope that some may also be inspired to be an-other ldquoLamp in the City on the Hillrdquo for others to see the inexplicable wonders of God as He has mysteri-ously converted Saul the Christian persecutor into St Paul to become a great and fearless evangelist of our Christian faith

the maintenance of peace and stability respect for interna-tional law and unimpeded lawful commerce in the South China Seardquo

Clinton welcomed the meeting saying a slew of joint initiatives including disaster relief forestry policy and disease control were ldquoan important signal that the US and China not only can but will work together in Asiardquo

No threats and intimidationClinton also urged claimant

countries not to resort to threats and intimidation an indirect reference to China

ldquoWe believe the nations of the region should work collabora-tively and diplomatically to resolve disputes without coercion without intimidation without threats and without use of forcerdquo Clinton said

ldquoIssues such as freedom of navi-gation and lawful exploitation of maritime resources often involve a wide region and approaching them strictly bilaterally could be a recipe for confusion and even confronta-tionrdquo Clinton added

The US said stability is its concern in the waterway which carries $5 trillion in ship-borne trade account-ing for half the worldrsquos shipping tonnage

ldquoThe United States is going to be very clear in our determination to see progress on the code of conduct between those negotiations that are taking place between China and ASEANrdquo a senior US State Depart-ment offi cial told reporters earlier this week

Clearly outline positionClinton likewise urged ASEAN na-

tions ldquoto clearly outline its position on the Scarborough Shoalrdquo and ldquoto complete a regional code of conduct in a timely fashionrdquo

She warned about serious prob-lems to the regional bloc if ASEAN fails to address the challenge

ldquoWhat might be a challenge today for some of ASEANrsquos members if left unaddressed by all of ASEAN could lead tomorrow to issues that may become problems for other ASEAN membersrdquo she said

Clinton said the US ldquolooks to ASEAN and claimant states to provide leadership in this issue and recognizes the important role of the ASEAN chairman to fi nd consensus and advance a common ASEAN positionrdquo

ldquoASEAN needs to meet its own goals and standards and be able to speak with one voice on issues fac-ing the regionrdquo Clinton said

ASEANrsquos 10 members announced earlier this week that they have drafted a set of rules governing maritime rights and navigation and procedures for when governments disagree But China is not a member of the group and hasnrsquot agreed to anything

The ASEAN countries are present-

ing their proposal to China at this weekrsquos conference in Cambodiarsquos capital though Beijing will probably want to water down any language that ties its hands

For the US the diffi cult diplomacy ahead could be a major test of the Obama administrationrsquos efforts to ldquopivotrdquo American power toward the worldrsquos most populous continent Just speaking out on the subject already has helped the US deepen ties with Vietnam and relations are warming with other governments in the region

But countless meetings between American and Chinese offi cials have not led to progress on a lasting solution

Various longstanding disputes among China the Philippines Viet-nam Taiwan Malaysia and Brunei involve the arearsquos busy sea-lanes and many observers fear the compli-cated web of disputes could spark a violent confl ict

The standoff between China and the Philippines in Panatag (Scarbor-ough) Shoal began in April when the Philippines accused Chinese fi sher-men of poaching in its exclusive economic zone including the shoal During the tensions both sides sent government ships to the area though both have since withdrawn vessels

Vietnam has protested a recent an-nouncement by the China National Offshore Oil Corp opening nine oil and gas lots for international bidders in areas overlapping with existing Vietnamese exploration blocks Viet-nam says the lots lie entirely within its 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone and continental shelf

When conditions are ripeWith the ASEAN set to start

negotiations with China on a code of conduct Beijing said it is willing to work with member countries ldquowhen the conditions are riperdquo

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokes-person Liu Weimin said in a press conference in Beijing Monday that the code of conduct is not for the resolution of disputes in the West Philippine Sea

ldquoI would like to emphasize that the code of conduct aims not at resolv-ing the South China Sea disputes but boosting mutual trust and coopera-tion between the parties concerned in a joint bid to maintain peace and stability in the South China Seardquo Liu said

Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario for his part told the ASEAN meeting that ldquothe adher-ence of all countries in the region to a set of fair and transparent rules as embodied in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea will generate greater mutual trust and respect in the regionrdquo ndash AP Pia Lee-Brago

survive one must have a job but for one to prosper one must engage in business

For this I am not worried about my daughter She will never be unemployed a victim of closing or streamlining companies She has her own business with no overheads and she is in a higher notch than when she started and contin-ues to spiral up in her virtual store

Of course this is not for everyone This is not for the comfortable not for those who do not blaze trails not for the non-dreamers defi nitely not for those who choose to be with the ninety-fi ve percent of society who choose to be ordinary

Only fi ve percent of society dares to swim against the tides These are the likes of Steve Jobs Donald Trump Bill Gates and others like those who became millionaires in Amway

Knowing my daughter and if I am not mistaken I predict that she will persevere and succeed She is guided by the Scriptures and books written by those who have made it She is so disci-plined that she does not even watch TV She says Jessica Sanchez and Manny Pacquaio will not help her become fi -nancially free They could entertain you but when you go back to reality you are still in whatever state you are

AS THE BAMBOOS SWAY By Rudy D Liporada

A couple from church introduced Am-way to me in 1987 They showed a plan telling me that I could be a millionaire in two to fi ve years if I buy from my own store ndash soaps (both laundry and body) beauty products vitamins and many more ndash and share the dream with others

I did not care I just landed in America just two weeks before I came to Amer-ica to work in pursuit of my own kind of dream Besides even if I wanted to I did not have $8000 then to register plus I did not have lsquoothersrsquo to share dreams with

Fast forward to late 2010 My only daughter and youngest of my children then 18 gets wind of Amway She asks for $16700 so she could register to be-come what Amway calls an Independent Business Owner Although reluctant I shelled out the money After all it was not for drugs or something like that Then she tells us among others to buy from her store what we would be buying from other stores anyway Why make the other stores profi t when we should be patronizing her store The prices were competitive She changed our soaps toothpastes her momrsquos make-up kit drinks vitamins etc I did not really care To me shaving cream is shaving

cream laundry soap is laundry soap My daughter is happy I am happy

What I did not really know was she was growing her market She had others join her in her dream

In late 2010 she had to attend an Amway convention in Portland Oregon with her dozen team members ndash no one was over 21 years old They were going on a long drive for eighteen hours They needed two vans but no rent-a-car would allow them to rent the vehicles Grudg-ingly I acceded to her request that I and her mom rent one each of those vans and might as well join them ndash might as well be in the convention

And so we were there In front of ten thousand participants

couple after couple testifi ed how they realized their dream sharing Amway products They were former waitresses accountants doctors construction workers Navy Seals etc On gargantuan screens they fl aunted their villas jets yachts high end cars and their pleasure trips around the world They said that through patience and hard work for two to fi ve years they sailed to becoming millionaires ndash now waking up whenever they want and being full time moms and dads

I believed them If only one of them would be lying in front of ten thousand people the institution Amway would crumble down

Then I was angry There was this guy same as my age was a teacher like me He was on the stage as a millionaire and I was down there listening to him and I have nothing to show He got into Amway in the middle 90rsquos Deng It was introduced to me in 1987

I started reading their brochures and catalogs I came to the conclusion that mathematically you could really get rich doing this thing All you needed is the belief the emotional quotient strive patience and most of all your dreams

Nonetheless beyond the business be-yond the products beyond the dreams I treasure most what Amway has done to my daughter Instead of continuing to party like most of her peers she is reading the Bible upon waking up and follows this up with management and business related books She is in power business cloths instead of showing her belly buttons Most important before Amway she fi ghts with her mom Now they are the best of friends

So I tell my friends and acquaintances about Amway and its products Most of them because the company has been there for over 50 years have heard of it have been into it and have notions about it This is because Amway is the mother of networking and Amway stands for the American Way

Most of them too after I show or reshow them the product benefi ts and the principle of buying from your own store go back to Amway if they have been there before The main thing is all of them agree to the greatness of the products and appreciate the evolved and developed marketing system of the com-pany ndash for those in the know one does not have to horde products anymore to sell everything now is done on-line And if you are not computer suave one in the organization will do it for you because you at least know how to use your cell phone or you can directly call in the orders

Robert T Kiyosaki in his book Rich Dad Poor Dad says that in order for one to be fi nancially free one must have a business He means for one to only

Avoid immorality Every other sin a person commits is outside the body but the immoral person sins against his own body Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you whom you have from God and that you are not your own For you have been purchased at a price Therefore glo-rify God in your body (1Cor 618-20) I urge you therefore brothers by the mercies of God to offer your bodies as a living sacrifi ce holy and pleasing to God your spiritual worshipDo not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind that you may discern what is the will of God what is good and pleasing and perfect (Rom 121-2)

Words to Live By

Sa Aking Buhay (7)Sa aking buhay malimit akong maging atubili lalo na sa ikatatahimik nitong aking budhimay takot at pag-aalala aking mga sandalituloy magagandang bagay nakalampas ng madali

Sa aking buhay iniwasang pilit ang magkamali ang anuman gagawin korsquoy pag-iisipan ng mulikahit magdamagan pa ang gagawaing pagsusurisulit ang lahat bastarsquot walang mararamdamang hapdi

Sa aking buhay napagtanto ko ng tunay na tunayna kailanpaman ay walang lugar ang kasamaandahil kung mali din lamang ang tunay mong dahilanay talagang walang maganda itong kahihinatnan

Sa aking buhay natuklasan kong lsquodi lahat ng oras na dahil sa ang pakiramdam mo ngayon ay masarapay nakakasiguro kang magiging ayos ang lahatkasi hindi palaging ganoon ang nagiging wakas

Sa aking buhay ay aking napagwari ng taimtimna sa lsquoyong buhay ano nga ba ang tunay mong layunindahil sa kung ito ay lihis sa dakilang gawainang katotohanarsquoy wala ka talagang mararating

Ngayon kung maitatanong ko naman----- sa buhay mo

Joke of the Week Bill had a good friend who was a minister of long years standing They used to josh one another occasionally ldquoYou reverend think yoursquore so hotrdquo said Bill one day ldquoAfter all yoursquore only about 50 percent effective About half of the babies you baptize donrsquot stay Christians about half of the adults you convert donrsquot stay con-verted and about half the people you marry donrsquot stay marriedrdquo ldquoWersquore 100 percent on one pointrdquo answered his minister friend ldquoIf I were a bet-ting man Irsquod give you 1000 to1odds that all the people we bury stay buriedrdquo

Scriptures First Reading Jer-emiah 23 1-6 In Jeremiahrsquos time the people of the northern kingdom of Israel had been exiled to Assyria and the Israelites in the southern kingdom of Judah had been deported to Babylon There were lots of dev-astated lives and broken hearts The kings and leaders did not live up as true shepherds The prophet speaks of hope out of this dismal condi-tion God will raise a new shepherd who will rule with righteousness and unite Israel and Judah Sec-ond Reading Ephesians 2 13-18 Through Christ all religious barriers between Hebrews and non-Hebrews or Gentiles are now demolished Through Christrsquos redemptive work of salvation and reconciliation those who are ldquofar offrdquo and ldquonearrdquo are now brought together All have access to the Father with the Spirit

Gospel Mark 6 30-34 In the fi rst reading God renews the promise he made to his people 1) to bless hu-manity by bringing it back to a land where it can bear fruit abundantly

(an allusion to Genesis) 2) to raise a new king who shall rule his people justly and rightly (a promise made to Abraham and David) Christian view the blessing at creation story of Gen-esis and the promise of a new leader are both fulfi lled in Jesus Christ

Refl ections The Hebrew word for shepherd does not only mean a king and ruler it also connotes the notion of feeding defending caring

and providing Jeremiah denounced the shepherds of his time who cared for themselves alone and not for the fl ock that were entrusted to them From the Christian point of view Jesus Christ is the shepherd who restores hope to new Israel In turn Jesus wants his apostles to continue his shepherding mission

Reginald Fuller commented that in this Marcan passage the term ldquoapostlesrdquo was not originally a title but a function Jeremiah condemned Zedekiah and the last kings of Judah as shepherds who have misled the people These corrupt shepherds paid more attention to their own selfi sh vested interests than those of the fl ock The Marcan passage is implying that the apostles should

avoid committing the same serious mistake In Matthew 23 6-7 Jesus told his disciples ldquoThey (Scribes and Pharisees) love places of honor at banquets seats of honor in syna-gogues greetings in marketplaces and the salutation lsquoRabbirsquordquo The apostles are told not to put more emphasis on title such as ldquoapostlerdquo and less on responsibilities that come with it Instead they should put more weight on their duties and responsibilities Titles such as ldquodoctor teachers bishop reverend engineer lawyerrdquo denote functions and responsibilities But when a title gains more prominence than the re-sponsibilities that come with it title divides rather than unites people

PSYCHOLOGISTS HAVE PROPOSED THE FASCINATING CONCEPT OF THE DYAD (Greek dyacuteo ldquotwordquo) or bi-polar archetype Common functionaries such as doc-torpatient lawyerclient ministerparishioner and parents children are some archetypal roles Many of these roles are essentially linked to a partnering archetype hence the term dyad archetype To stress the supe-rior pole of the archetype doctor lawyer minister and parents over the other pole patient client parish-ioner and children breaks the dyad and negatively impacts both poles For instance a doctor who fails to recognize that there is a ldquophysi-cianrdquo in his patient breaks down the therapeutic relationship between him and his patient The same is true with a teacher who fails to see that he too is a ldquostudentrdquo who can learn from his students Ministers who forget that they too are in need of salvation treat their parishioners as inferiors Parents become domineer-ing and overbearing when they fail to learn from their children On the other hand the dyad is also broken when the inferior pole is emphasized over the superior pole When both poles recognize each otherrsquos strength and draw energies to enhance each otherrsquos well being there is true heal-ing learning ministering parenting and spirituality

We read in todayrsquos Gospel that Jesus invited his apostles to take a break from their tiresome activities Likewise we seek scenic vistas sun-ny beaches quiet and private places

to relax and unwind Leonardo da Vinci wrote ldquoEvery now and then go away have a little relaxation for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose power of judgment hellip Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be take in at a glance and lack of harmony or proportion is more readily seenrdquo Jesus mindful of his apostlesrsquo need for a breather after a hectic mission asked them to rest a while It was a rest aimed at energizing the apostles with the divine presence that would enable them to be more effective in their mission Onersquos summer vacation can also be an occasion to recharge our spiritual battery

ldquoNot without design does God write the music of our lives Be it ours to learn the time and not be discouraged at the rests If we say sadly to ourselves lsquoThere is no music in a restrsquo let us not forget there is the making of music in it The making of music is often a slow and painful process in this life How patiently God works to teach us How long He waits for us to learn the lessonrdquo (John Ruskin)

Quotation of the Week ldquoIf you keep a bow always bent it will break eventually but if you let it go slack it will be fi t for use when you want itrdquo Aesop

Spirituality in Dyadic Relationship

Spiritual Courage

Courage is connected with taking

risks Jumping the Grand Can-yon on a motorbike coming over Niagara Falls in a barrel or crossing the ocean in a rowboat are called courageous acts because people risk their lives by doing these things But none of these daredevil acts comes from the centre of our being They all come from the desire to test our physical limits and to become famous and popular

Spiritual courage is something completely different It is following the deepest desires of our hearts at the risk of losing fame and popular-ity It asks of us the willingness to lose our temporal lives in order to gain eternal life

Cayabyab lauds ABS-CBN Philharmonic

OrchestraABS CBN News | MANILA Phil-

ippines -- Acclaimed composer Ryan Cayabyab lauded the newly formed ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra which will make its fi rst major public debut at the ldquoIcons at the Arenardquo con-cert at the SM Mall of Asia Arena

Rehearsing this afternoon was a breeze The rare event on Saturday combines only the best Filipino art-ists together in the concert with the best musicians of the ABS-CBN Phil-harmonic What more can I ask for as musical director Ang ganda at ang sarap ng tugtuganrdquo said Cayabyab who is the musical director of

the all-star OPM concertCayabyab who composed OPM

classics such as Kay Ganda ng Ating Musika called the orchestra the newest most exciting addition to the top artists of the Kapamilya Network

He praised the orchestra members as arguably the best crossover musi-cians of the country who can perform all types and genres of music led by

a formidable music director Gerard Salonga

Early this year ABS-CBN and First Philippine Holdings Inc joined hands to promote an advocacy for Filipinos to connect and experience ldquorealrdquo and ldquogoodrdquo music Thus the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra was created to defy the notion that a full orches-tra is only limited to classical music

The 40-piece musical ensemble is also a fi rst in the history of ABS-CBN

ABS-CBN chairman Eugenio ldquoGabbyrdquo Lopez III stressed that the orchestra aims to provide music of the highest caliber to the general audience

ABS-CBN president Charo Santos-Concio on the other hand expressed her full support for the orchestra

and her optimism that this will be a signifi cant platform to celebrate the character and soul of Filipino music

According to ABS-CBN Philhar-monic Orchestrarsquos executive director Mickey Muntildeoz the orchestra shall also service the performance and music needs of ABS-CBN such as concerts as well as the musical scor-ing for movies

Muntildeoz also revealed that a youth orchestra is also being formed to train indigent but talented young Pinoys to play musical instruments

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada

Available at Amazoncom

(In the last chapter PMA cadet Julius Madrigal buys a bible as New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Carlo entered his room from his bath He donned on a t-shirt from his strewn clothes which he would have to pack the following day Over the shirt he pulled over a lengthwise striped sweater which made him appear taller than his five foot and a half frame He then went to the mirror and combed his still damp straight hair parting it on its left side He smiled checking his well set teeth He felt clean

Cleanliness is next to Godliness Monday after the New

Year he would be back to nearer Godliness His two weeks vacation would be over He would be back to where he would like to dedicate himself to be really next to Godli-ness

Again he would be back where everyday the brrriinnnggg brrr-riiiinnggg brrriinnnnggg wake up bell that permeates throughout the seminary walls would swirl into his eardrums and into his innermost soul jolting him to slide off the bed and be on his knees when sunrays slice through the windows of where he had confined himself to be nearer to Godliness Still in the throes of being awake his right hand flies to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Hail Mary full of gracehelliphe falls back into the abyss of nothingness but a second alarm ndash briiinnggg briiinggg brii-ingggg would bring back the swirl into his eardrums permeating into

his soul jolting him back to the re-ality that he is already on his knees Hail Mary full of gracehelliphas he said three already He would goad himself and fight against falling back into the abyss of nothingness for the umpteenth time Has he said three Hail Maries already He decides that since he had lost count he would complete three Hail Maries even if he already went over the count He would add an Our Father and a Glory Be

He gets up and staggers himself towards the exit of the dormitory towards the wash basins He passes other seminarians still in various pose of waking up on their knees or staggering out like himself The silkiness or fadedness of their paja-mas distinguishes who among them come from richer or poorer families

After freshening up he dons his white shirt and pants and black neck-tie He then marches out to join the other seminarians lining up in front of the chapel They appear like equal angels without wings Only tie clips shoes belts or brands of watches distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families

Equally mandated each one clasps his hands palms together on his chest They proceed to their assigned pews while cherubim like hymns fill the air

And the rite beginsDominus VobiscumhellipEt cum

spiritu tuohellipOra pro nobis kneelhellipsithellipstandhellipsit againhellipmostly kneel - all in sanctity to commune with the Spirit and the saints

By the offertory sanctity could be broken as Carlorsquos stomach as well as othersrsquo would growl pleading that the fangs of hunger be quelled But they have to wait though now find it hard to be in communion with the Spirit and the saints

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Finally it would be lsquoGo in peace the mass is endedrsquo

In seeking peace for their hunger they still have to be saintly tip-toe out of the chapel Their shoes then would scrape on the hallways in they dash to the dormitories in the rush to change into their school clothes

Now their over-all clothing demeanors ndash shirts pants sweaters socks shoes ndash starkly distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families Nonetheless richer or poorer they remained equal in the need to quell the fangs of hun-ger as they rush to the rectory hall

A sunny side two sausages fried rice from leftovers the night before crowd on each of the eight plates on each of the ten tables at the rec-tory The coffee would be soggy but would still be a welcome brew to enliven our breakfast which is equal for all The food they are about to receive from His bounty made them all equal except that there are also apples and juice and non soggy cof-fee at the head table where the Flem-ish rector Flemish assistant rector and Flemish principal are

Their stomachs would now really be howling gurgling clamoring for whatever they have to partake on but they all had to equally wait for the last seminarian to enter the dining hall half embarrassed half rever-ent The rector frowning for the delay would glare at the late comer before his right hand would fly to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Bless us Oh Lord in these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord Amen

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Amen

The last vestiges of reverence would now be broken as the ter-restrial need to fortify onersquos body takes precedence over the needs of the soul Chairs screech as the seminarians slide unto them Spoons and forks bang to scrape on eggs sausages and rice as they slide from the plates into munching mouths to mediate the growling gurgling stomachs

After a while Carlo would be satisfied with the egg two sausages fried rice and soggy coffee He would then have more time to often wonder why those Flemish priests also have apples juice and non soggy coffee while the seminar-ians do not Often he dismisses

the thought to just because they are already priests priests who are white because they have a different culture Nonetheless he often asks himself didnrsquot Jesus Christ share the same enliven bread and fish with his apostles

Often he would also feel guilty that having such kind of thoughts about inequality with the priests could be sacrilegious and wonders if he had to go to the con-fessional for that

Such thoughts however would vanish as he immerses himself with the day of classes ndash geometry Latin physics basketball volleyball lunch more studies ping-pong ro-sary and the long litanies and night prayers

The thoughts of inequality how-ever would invade his mind again the following day right after the br-riinnggg brrriinggg brriingggg and the regimen begins

And the regimen he would be go-ing back to made the short Christ-mas holiday break really shorter Nonetheless he had dedicated himself to the vocation and glad that no one or nothing during the vaca-tion made him feel that it was really short He had again passed the test of being out of the seminary walls with still the resolve that he would be going back for Godlinessrsquos sake

Vacations are not only respites from the sanctified isolationrsquos regimen They are tests to how one would not succumb to the calls of the human flesh in the outside world Should one not be able to resist temptations it would be better for one to fall away from the calling earlier than later after one is fully vested when the faithful would be subject to disillusionment

Nonetheless tonight Carlo would indulge in a simple call of the flesh He was ready for the dinner prepared by his mother one much better than the feasts of the priests

The MoringaMalunggay Tree with its edible leaves flowers and pods is one of most power packed nutritious trees in the world It goes by many different names drumkstick tree the Miracle tree the Never Die Tree the Miracle tree

I wrote an article on that subject here but it is also one of the most healing trees in the world All of the tree is ei-ther used for food medicine or cooking It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for hundreds of years to both prevent and treat almost 300 diseasesThe in-formation in this article is not based on double blind research but on the histori-cal and current usage of Moringa leaves flowers and pods in India and many other countries This is how the people have used it in the past and how they use it now Much of this information was observed and documented in the different health projects by physicians in their treatment of AIDS malnutrition and disease In India Ayurvedic physi-cians use it in their standard treatment protocols

How can Moringa leaves have an im-pact on so many problems Many health problems are due to poor nutrition malnutrition and imbalanced disease states which result in immune system breakdown and disease When you correct those imbalances and nutritional deficiencies with super packed nutritious food it is bound to improve health and disease states The ability for Moringa leaves flowers bark and pods to have such diverse healing effects is due to the vitamins minerals antioxidants and healing elements the tree contains

A review of Moringas power packed nutrition

Here is a nutritional breakdown of Fresh Moringa Leaves 7 times the Vitamin C of Oranges 4 times the Cal-cium of Milk 3 times the Potassium of Bananas 2 times the Protein of Yogurt 4 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and frac34 the iron of Spinach

Moringa leaves when dried become a even greater powerhouse of nutri-tion containing frac12 the Vitamin C of Oranges 17 times the Calcium of Milk 15 times the Potassium of Bananas 9 times the Protein of Yogurt 25 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and 20 times the Iron in Spinach All elements except the Vitamin C is increased when you dry the leaves under low temperatures Drying the leaves in direct sunlight decreases its nutritional values

How Moringa and Artemisia Annua Leaves benefit AIDS Patients

There are health projects going on

in Tanzania Musoma and other areas There is a real AIDS crisis in these areas In these AIDS cases the doctors have found that the combination of two herbs Moringa and Artemisia Annua improved the energy stamina and CD4 counts of the AIDS patients Some of their patients came in so weak they were not able to walk or care for them-selves They improved so dramatically that many were able to go back to work and many stayed to help the incoming patients These dramatic improvements were documented over and over again by the doctors in these health projects

How the herbs were used in the treat-ment protocols

The physicians combined dried Mor-inga Leaves with Artemisia Annua and then added one heaping teaspoonful of the powder to make a tea A liter of tea using 5 grams of the powder was given 3 times a day to the patient while the symptoms were acute Later when the patients improved it was reduced to a cup a day When you consider the super nutrition in Moringa leaves it is easy to understand how the Aids patients would improve The power packed nutrition would bolster their immune function strength stamina and ability to live a more normal active life

Moringa does NOT cure AIDS but helps the AIDS patient live longer and improves their quality of life and health Often the AIDS patient does not die from AIDS but from one of the opportunistinfections that prey on their compromised immune system

Moringa Leaves effects on blood pres-sure blood sugar breast milk produc-tion and anemia

In India the leaves are used to normalize blood pressure and to treat anxiety In 1994 a team of researchers identified a new nitride and mustard oil glycoside that demonstrated its ability to lower blood pressure

An infusion of the leaf is used to reduce sugar levels though not as ef-fectively as the standard hypoglycemia medicine

Moringa leaves mixed with honey then followed with coconut milk drunk 2 to 3 times a day is used for diarrhea dysentery and colitis

Moringa leaves have been observed and documented by doctors in the health projects to increase breast milk produc-tion and the health of nursing mothers This is due to the nutrition in the leaves especially the protein calcium and iron

Refreshing News | 7122012 -- Top experts separate the fact from myth once and for all--and reveal some surprises in the process Myth 1 Eating at Night Makes You Fat FACT If your overall calorie intake is appropriate for weight loss or maintenance it may benefit you to eat something after dinner says Joni Rampolla RD Director of Nu-trition and Wellness for Medifast

Late-night calories will ultimately get used the next day (and even while you sleep) To keep your en-ergy levels up it is better to spread your calories out during the day when your body needs fuel Aim to eat something every two or three hours This will stabilize blood sugar levels and help you feel full and energized all day

If you do need a late-night snack consider keeping it to 200 calories or less

Myth 2 Hunger is a sign you need food FACT The body commonly sends cues of hunger when it is dehydrated sleep deprived or sensing psycho-logical hunger If yoursquore not drinking enough water or getting enough sleep this alone can cause you to sense hunger even though yoursquore full Rampolla says

Myth 3 Losing weight is harder than keeping it off FACT More than 90 percent of dieters regain the weight they lost (or more) once they ldquofinishrdquo their plan Rampolla says If you resume eating the foods you ate before los-ing weight you will gain the weight back-and maybe a few extra pounds Herersquos why After weight loss your slimmer body requires fewer calo-ries to function Plus if your weight-loss plan does not include enough protein you might lose muscle mass in addition to excess fat Why thatrsquos bad Muscle burns more calories than fat does so losing muscle will lower your metabolism

Every day make a positive decision to stay on track with your new healthy lifestyle Maintaining healthy eating habits is a lifelong commitment and takes persistence Rampolla says

Myth 4 Exercise makes you tired FACT As the body gets in better shape most people feel exercising gives them more energy than before Regular exercise can also help fight fatigue improve your sleep and manage your stress says Gina Crome MS MPH RD and Top 10 FitOrbitcom trainer

Myth 5 Working out is a big time commitment FACT To main-tain a healthy weight you can work out as little as 20 to 40 minutes most days of the week If your goal is to lose weight itrsquos advised that you aim for about 45 to 60 minutes each day Crome says

The best part You donrsquot need to fit it all into one session Most of us can find five to 10 minutes to spare

at different points in the day Using these spare minutes throughout the day to be active adds up quickly and eventually becomes a regular part of your healthy lifestyle

Myth 6 Lower-body workouts will give you lean legs faster FACT The type of exercise you do does not affect the number of fat cells in a specific area Crome says Even if you do 100 abs exer- cises every day without proper nutri-tion quality sleep and a well-round- ed fitness routine you might never achieve the toned flat stomach you want You will help develop the muscles in that area but that doesnrsquot equate to fat loss

When the body loses

fat it does so

in a

sys-

temic fashion-all over the body at the same time Aside from surgical procedures such as liposuction there is no way to direct or influence the elimi-nation of fat from

specific areas Crome says Myth 7 You should

only eat carbs when yoursquore ac-tive FACT This myth is based on the belief that since carbs are the bodyrsquos preferred energy source you shouldnrsquot eat them when yoursquore inactive-like most people are in the evening However many individuals have atypical schedules or regularly exercise after work These people benefit from consuming appropri-ate amounts of carbohydrates in the evening to fuel their lifestyle says John Bosse RD and Member of the Research amp Development team for USANA Health Sciences

For someone who is sedentary in the evening a small high-protein snack such as 23 cup of full-fat cottage cheese or a protein shake can actually help you stay slim Research shows that eating high-quality protein at regular intervals promotes better body composition and since a lot of time passes between dinner

and breakfast this small snack is a smart strategic move

Myth 8 Heavy weights will make you bulky FACT Unless yoursquore taking in substances that alter your hormone profile (anabolic ste-roids) it is highly unlikely that you will gain large amounts of muscle Bosse says Doing a high number of reps (20+) using light weights and stopping each set well before the point of muscular failure certainly helps improve fitness and burn calo-ries but itrsquos not the best way to get a lean toned body What is Integrate periods of heavier training (six to 10 reps) with some sets taken to muscular failure The ability to build muscle is very different for men and women and should not be confused Bosse says

Myth 9 You should do a juice cleanse to detox FACT Our bod-ies are extremely smart and have built-in processes for detoxing every day says Kristen Carlucci RD reg-istered dietitian and nutrition expert for Pitney Bowes Inc

Yes people lose weight on juice cleanses but not because of any mir-acle ingredient or because your body is cleared of toxins that are slowing

down your metabolism Weight lost during a cleanse is most likely

a result of taking in far fewer calories than

usual While fill-ing up on fruits

and vegetables is a positive thing the problem with juice cleanses is that they are a tem-porary fix They donrsquot teach you the balanced nutrition habits you should be forming in order to lose weight and keep it off for good Carlucci says

Myth 10 Carbs are the en-emy FACT With the onset of the low-carb diet craze many people deny themselves this major food group This concept is misunder-stood because itrsquos not the carbohy-drates themselves that cause weight gain itrsquos the fact that for many of us itrsquos difficult to control the portion sizes Carlucci says

Instead of cutting out carbs alto-gether (which does not sound fun at all) focus on choosing the right carbs in the proper portions Stick with whole-grain pastas and breads (each slice should have 100 calories or less and should contain at least 3 grams of fiber) and try to fill no more than 14 of your plate with starch Limit pasta to 1 cup cooked and choose potatoes that are about the size of a computer mouse

The 10 Most Misunderstood Diet and Fitness Strategies Fatty Acid Found in Fish Prevents Age-

Related Vision Loss Study Suggests

ScienceDaily (May 30 2012) mdash An omega-3 fatty acid found in fish known as DHA prevented age-relat-ed vision loss in lab tests according to recent medical research from the University of Alberta

Yves Sauveacute a researcher in the Faculty of Medicine amp Dentistry and his team discovered that lab models fed DHA did not accumulate a toxic molecule at the back of the eyes The toxin normally builds up in the retina with age and causes vision loss

ldquoThis discovery could result in a very broad therapeutic userdquo says Sauveacute whose work was recently published in the peer-reviewed jour-nal Investigative Ophthalmology amp Visual Science

ldquoIn normal aging this toxin increases twofold as we age But in lab tests there was no increase in this toxin whatsoever This has never been demonstrated before -- that supplementing the diet with DHA could make this kind of differencerdquo

The team recently started another study looking at people who have age-related macular degeneration a condition that results in loss of central vision and is the main cause of blindness in people over the age of 50 The researchers will look for DNA markers in the blood of study participants The team wants to determine whether participants with certain genetic markers will respond better to increasing amounts of DHA in their diet and if so why

Sauveacute is a researcher in the departments of ophthalmology and physiology at the U of A

Various organizations funded the research the primary funder was the Canadian Institutes of Health Research

Courtesy of WebMD -- Who doesnrsquot enjoy a tall cool glass of juice The color is vibrant the taste sweet and itrsquos good for you too Not so fast say some dietitians Although the best kinds of juice deliver a bounty of vitamins the worst are hardly better than liquid candy WebMD helps you spot the difference

Drinking your veggies is a conve-nient way to add powerful plant-based nutrients to your diet The lycopene in tomato juice appears to lower the risk of prostate cancer Beet juice may reduce blood pres-sure Pulpy vegetable juice is also packed with fiber that can help con-trol hunger And all of these benefits come without a catch Vegetable juice has far less sugar and fewer calories than the typical fruit juice but it is high in sodium unless you choose the low salt version

Be on alert for the terms juice cocktail juice-flavored beverage or juice drink Most of these prod-ucts contain only small amounts of real juice The main ingredients are usually water and some type of sugar such as high-fructose corn syrup Nutritionally these drinks are similar to most soft drinks mdash rich in sugar and calories but low in nutri-ents Research suggests that sug-ary fruit drinks put kids at risk for obesity and related health problems The 2010 Dietary Guidelines recom-mends water over sugary drinks

If yoursquore only going to drink one glass of juice each day you want to make it a good one So letrsquos ex-plore which juices offer the biggest nutritional payoff per sip Pomegran-ate juice tops the list Itrsquos high in sugar and calories but delivers an abundant dose of antioxidants These substances appear to protect brain function and may ward off cancer In one study 8 ounces of pomegranate juice daily reduced the recurrence of prostate cancer

Cranberry juice is packed with vitamin C which is vital to a healthy immune system There is also evidence to support a folk remedy -- drinking unsweetened cranberry juice may help reduce your risk of urinary tract infections

Substances in blueberries may help keep the brain healthy In a small study researchers looked at the effect of blueberry juice on memory in adults in their seven-ties who had age-related memory decline Those who drank 2 12 cups of blueberry juice for 12 weeks had significant improvement on learning and memory tests compared to those who drank a non-juice beverage So choose blueberry juice to boost brain health

Researchers have only begun look-ing into the health benefits of acai juice which is made from a berry found in South America But early studies are promising Acai pulp appears to have a higher concentra-tion of antioxidants than cranber-ries blackberries strawberries or blueberries

Besides delivering a wealth of antioxidants some berry juices appear to have anti-inflammatory properties According to one study drinking cherry juice before and after your work-out can reduce exercise-induced muscle pain

Wersquove all heard that red wine in moderation can be good for the heart The same is true of red grape juice Red grape juice contains po-tent antioxiodants -- flavanoids and resveratrol The key is that wine and juice are made with the entire grape -- seeds skin and all When you eat fresh grapes you miss out on nutri-ents hiding in the seeds

Another viable folk remedy prune juice has long been recommended to relieve constipation It works because itrsquos extremely high in fiber and contains a natural laxative called sorbitol But the benefits of prune juice donrsquot stop there The juice is also packed with antioxidants iron and potassium

Itrsquos a staple at breakfast but does this popular juice carry its weight The good news is orange juice is loaded with vitamin C a star for its immune-boosting benefits In addition orange juice is often forti-fied with calcium and vitamin D nutrients that strengthen the bones

The brave non-violence of the

Subaanen peopleby Fr Shay Cullen PREDA

Some thousands of indigenous people all over the Philippines es-pecially in Mindanao especially the Subaanen people on the Zamboanga Peninsula have struggle for years to stop mining corporations from moving in to explore and mine the mountains and hills They are victims of corrupt government offi cials and even judges who are captivated by the vested inter-est of the mining industry

Some Indigenous people are sadly being forced to turn to armed resis-tance as the mining corporations move into their lands The Subaanen people have remained steadfastly non-violent and turned to the rule of law and trust in the constitution to protect them and their rightsBut is it enough

Hundreds of thousands of hectares of ancestral land has been threatened by the illegal and corrupt acts of some offi cials of the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Allegedly some of these offi cials are not on the side of the people in Mindanao but are for the rich and powerful mining interests and the banks that fund them

They allegedly enrich themselves by giving mining permits to companies

over ancestral lands which is forbidden by law It is at this level in the provinc-es where the anti-corruption campaign of President Aquino is weakest He has deposed a former president and a chief Justice but not yet the corrupt offi cials in Mindanao While the president is dedicated and honestly trying to clean up the stinking garbage of corrup-tion he cannot seemingly oust these entrenched offi cials the henchmen and women of powerful political families

They do not have allegiance to their department cabinet secretary or the president In fact they are ones who defy the president and are the hardest to get rid off The presidents politi-cal allies could be behind the corrupt practices that is opening the way for the illegal logging and issuance of mining permits They are pushing the president to override the provincial governments bans on open pit mining He must resist this pressure

Mining companies that get a permit to explore and mine also get a logging permit for the cutting the trees in the area alloted to them for mining This is totally destructive and is a way around the presidential ban on logging which goes on unabated Just drive through Mindanao and you will pass twenty or thirty huge trucks hauling cut logs I have seen them myself

For many years the Subaanen people and their supporters have stood peace-fully for their rights courageously and bravely to stop the local dynastic families and their cronies in the Inter-national mining industry from mining

their ancestral lands The Subaanen have been non-violent and trusted the democratic rule of law to save them

Their breakthrough cam in August 2011 when the Supreme Court of the Philippines granted a Writ of Ka-likasan (A protection of nature) to the people to protect the environment of the whole of the Zamboanga Peninsu-la A Writ of Kalikasan is a powerful legal remedy under Philippine law which provides for the protection ones right to a balanced and health-ful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature as provided for in Section 16 Article II of the Philippine Constitution It protects ones right for a healthy environment against damage of such magnitude that it threatens life health or property of inhabitants in two or more cities or provinces But the government of-fi cials are ignoring the Supreme Court order

Bishop Jiminez and three other bishops and an archbishop signed a letter to the London based sharehold-ers of the mining company RTZ-CRA trying to get the offi cials to stop the mining and logging wrote to the shareholders

In part he letter said ŠSince the company has the right to expatriate all the profi ts you the shareholders will probably earn some money However many of our people who own the lands where all the minerals are will become paupers Our rivers and seas

In travelling the countryside or while you are crossing the street driving your car taking the subway bedridden in the hospital or stuck in prison dont forget to say your Rosary every day Let the beads slip between your fi ngers they also slip between the fi n-gers of the Holy Father at the Vatican those of a grandmoth-er in Alaska a child on a hill in Rwanda a football player on a fi eld in Rio a Carthusian monk in his cell a Carmelite in her cloister or young evangelists on a mission

The Rosary is the certainly the prayer of the poor and the small the

sick and the suffering par excel-lence Yes always and everywhere not only in space but also in time The latitudes of the planet and longi-

tudes of history crisscross

The Hail Mary has moistened the lips of mil-lions of all ages races and nations How many chil-dren learned it as their fi rst prayer How many of the

dying whispered it as their ultimate testament The Hail Mary is a syn-thesis of two fi rst names Mary and Jesus

Father Daniel Ange

Never Forget to Say Your Rosary Everyday

Daily Meditation Listening With

Our Wounds To enter into solidarity with a suf-

fering person does not mean that we have to talk with that person about our own suffering Speaking about our own pain is seldom helpful for someone who is in pain A wounded healer is someone who can listen to a person in pain without having to speak about his or her own wounds When we have lived through a pain-ful depression we can listen with great attentiveness and love to a depressed friend without mentioning our experience Mostly it is better not to direct a suffering persons attention to ourselves We have to trust that our own bandaged wounds will allow us to listen to others with our whole beings That is healing

July 10 2012 Daily Meditation Text excerpts taken from Bread for the Journey by Henri JM Nouwen copy1997 HarperSanFrancisco All Scripture from The Jerusalem Bible copy1966 1967 and 1968 Darton Longman amp Todd and Doubleday amp Co Inc

Q How do you describe a luke-warm soul

A Jesus said lukewarm souls are souls who if He can only vomit out He will They are the souls He wanted to vomit out when He was in calvary Like in Geth-semane He said if it is only possible that He will not have to drink the cup He will not drink from it because these are the souls who are already in the light but decided to transfer to darkness That is why our Lord said what these souls are doing is the most hurting thing for Him

Q What makes Jesus happy

A What makes Jesus happy is if you can love your enemy Because how can you face God and beg for His mercy if you are not also merciful The truth is it is very diffi cult to love our enemy But there is a secret And the secret is fi rst of all we have to conquer our selves The truth is our num-ber one enemy is ourselves

because pride is in us hatred is in us all the negative are in us But if you are able to conquer your self if we are

able to defeat ourselves it means we do not have anymore pride no more hatred no more envy no more nega-tive and if all the negative are gone

it will be very easy to love your enemy

The truth is it is very easy to say ldquo I forgive yourdquo but it only comes from the mouth Deep inside the negatives are still in your heart and if it is not removed it will remain with you forever That is why you need to remove the negative You can only remove these if you love your enemy Because if you love your enemy ev-erytime you pray he is always included in your prayer and everytime you pray for your enemy slowly the thorn is be-ing removed and if the thorn is removed completely that will make Jesus very happy

To love an enemy means it is not necessary to like Just pray for him Do not say anything against him

a good chance that we will be able to extend this forward momentum as we anticipate better fi rst-half earnings from our listed fi rms The latest sovereign credit rating up-grade also provides additional support for future growth so overall I think we are in a terrifi c position to keep on im-provingrdquo PSE president Hans Sicat said in a press statement

Last July 5 the PSEi again beat its previous record high to post a fresh all-time high at 536998 As of July 6 the PSEi was the top performing market in Asia with a gain of 227 percent year-to-date beating bourses in Singapore Indonesia Malaysia Thailand Vietnam Hong Kong India and China among others

In the fi rst six months cyclical stocks banking and property led the PSEirsquos rise in the fi rst quarter albeit all indices were on the green

The fi nancial index emerged as the best performer in the fi rst half after surging by 346 percent to the 130442 level The fi nancial index was likewise the best performer in terms of bot-tomline based on fi rst-quarter earnings culled by the PSE

The next best performer was the property index which jumped by 301 percent to fi nish at 192748 in the fi rst half

The holding fi rms index rose by 281 percent to the 448880 level

Other indices performed as follows in the fi rst six months the industrial index rallied by 108 percent to fi nish at 783957 the services index climbed by 88 percent to 175902 -the mining and oil index crept higher by 48 percent to 2462948 points

ldquoJust like our main index investor confi dence in Philippines Inc is at an all-time high Whatrsquos remarkable is that we have been able to achieve unprec-edented growth even in the midst of ongoing uncertainties in the Western hemisphere and a cooling Chinese economy This is a testament to the effectiveness of the reforms that the country has undertaken which further contributed to the stable macroeconomic environmentrdquo Sicat said

The PSEirsquos fi nish in the fi rst six months was higher by 95520 points from its previous close of 429121 in the same period last year

The combined market capitalization of issues listed on the PSE during the January to June period stood at P1005 trillion up by 128 percent from a year ago

Total turnover for the fi rst half reached P94773 billion or 432 percent higher than the P66181 billion registered in the same period the previous year Average daily turnover stood at P764 billion an increase of 455 percent year-on-year

In spite of the challenging fundraising environment APCF was successful at raising more than $150000 that was dis-tributed among its 29 Affi liate Agencies which provide health and human ser-vices to Asian and Pacifi c Islander (API) and other ethnic communities in need throughout Los Angeles County The mission of APCF is to build healthier and stronger API communities working with its affi liates corporate and commu-nity partners and individuals to generate resources for this often overlooked and under-served population

In addition special grant presentations were made by Verizon and Walmart totaling $100000 For the second year Verizon is funding APCFrsquos scholarship program for students pursuing higher education in the science technology engineering and math related fi elds In a time when students are faced with signifi cantly rising costs of obtaining a college degree it is important that there is support for these students in the Asian and Pacifi c Islander communities A total of $25000 in scholarship awards will be given out in 2012

ldquoVerizonrsquos partnership with the Asian Pacifi c Community Fund is creating op-portunities for young people to succeed and pursue their dreams here in Califor-nia and across the countryrdquo said Gene

Shooting StarPoem No 9

I wish I was a shooting star streaking through the night sky

Being here and there in brief fl ash of light

And really nowhere to be found

Me in your life being caught in your universe

Running around in circles ever nearing your space

Seeking the face by which I am doomed to certain death

Like a fl ash like a bang I am nowhere to be found

Me in your life caught in your universe streaking aimlessly

towards destruction envying the celestial dance between Moon

and Sun Sun and earth earth and heaven seeking freedom

from my desolated journey in you I found destruction through

my destruction I found my freedom

copy 2009 Michael R Tagudin

While the Philippines had been politically freed from the tyrants of the 19th and 20th Centuries it is still not economically free Poverty hunger and corruption remain prevalent

Overseas Filipinos now heralded as modern day heroes have kept the country economically afl oat for years because of their money remittances

The ldquoWalang Corrupt Walang Mahi-raprdquo policy of the current government seems to be working Many Filipinos abroad support it and are quite optimis-tic about the countryrsquos future

Now accorded with easier faster and more affordable accessible and avail-able forms of communication Filipinos are asserting their rights and want more say in the way their country is governed

Ordinario created the only Navy dosimetry program that manages multiple afl oat and ashore command programs from one location and the fi rst overseas dosimetry hub for Department of Defense personnel in Japan The program monitored personnel for external radiation exposure while working in support of Operation Tomadachi

Ordinario said ldquoLooking at the big

Ordinario was aided by a team of radiation health staff which included deployed technicians deployed from stateside commands to support Op-eration Tomadachi ldquoThe augmented staff from different Navy Medicine Commands was vital part of being able to carry out our missionrdquo said Ordinario ldquoBeing recognized for the efforts the radiation health team did during Operation Tomadachi

is an honor and a testament to the hard work that was put in by all involvedrdquo

The Capt Ernest W Brown award established in 1986 is presented in memory of the late Capt Ernest ldquoEWrdquo Brown and recognizes an individual for excellence in Navy Occupational Health Preventive Medicine andor Health Promo-tion programs at the activity level Brown was a renowned researcher in the fi eld of biochemical warfare submarine medicine and occupa-tional medicine In 1941 he suc-cessfully implemented the ambitious industrial hygiene and forerunner of our Navy program today -- Re-printed from Seahawk Umitaka (submitted by Daughlet Ordinario of San Diego CA)

Seaoil karter Gabriel Cabrera along with fellow Filipino Flynn Jackes fi nally ended the half a decade title drought for the Philippines in the Mini-ROK class of the Asian Karting Open Championshipsrsquo opening leg at the Kartodromo de Coloane in Macau The 5-leg international race series is regarded as the most prestigious karting tilt in Asia

Racing abroad for the fi rst time 12 year old Cabrera topped the time trials at 103674 despite the absence of a coach and with only his chief mechanic Joesefi lo Bariquit in tow

The Philippines enjoyed a momentous 1-2-3 moment at the time trials with Cabrera grabbing pole position followed by Xedrei Daquigan in second and Flynn Jackes in third

Enduring an abdomen injury incurred from a crash during the fi nals warm-up Cabrera nevertheless decided to continue to race in the fi nals Surging to 2nd place from 5th in the fi nal grid the excruciating pain however led Cabrera to slip to 4th place by the end of the race

Although bowing to Jackes for the top spot Cabrerarsquos admirable show of resilience and perseverance endeared him to fans and foes alike who knew of his injury In true AKOC camaraderie Cabrera even found an unlikely ally in Taiwanese rival Lin Tsen Han who along with his crew immediately as-

sisted Cabrera as he fi nally collapsed in pain at the weigh-in area

ldquoThere is no such thing as a broken spirit only broken bones But not even that can stop a Filipino karterrsquos will to winrdquo says Cabrera as he was whisked off to the Kiang Wu Hospital to receive emergency medical treatment

He eventually was stable enough to return to the track a few hours later in time to receive his 3rd runner-up trophy at the awarding ceremonies Cabrera is the son of Los Angeles-based business-man Richard Cabrera and is slated to compete in the seriesrsquo second leg later this month in Manila

Cabrera Win Hearts In Asian Karting

Chief mechanic Joesefi le Bariquit and Gabriel Cabrera with kart-ing trophy at the Asian Karting Open Championship during opening leg in Macau China

by Steven Buller KIvaorgAccording to a recent article in Ma-

laya Business Insight a Filipino news-paper there were 9050 bank facilities operating in the Philippines at the end of 2011 At the same time there were 15600 pawnshops and 9500 licensed

money changers that were licensed to provide fi nancial services such as remittance transactions and bill pay-ments

The Philippines are fragmented by nature The country has 7000 islands 2000 of which are inhabited Since most banks are in urban areas reaching clients on the smaller remote islands can be extremely diffi cult and costly In a country where the savings rate is abysmal many people depend on credit for everyday expenses Non-bank facilities like pawnshops which are regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (or BSP the Philippines central bank) fi ll this gap

The BSP is currently considering allowing convenience stores or ldquosari-sari shopsrdquo to become banking agents as well They would be allowed to offer a variety of services including handling remittance transactions As nearly one out of 10 Filipinos lives and works abroad remittance transactions represent a huge portion of demand for fi nancial services In fact the Philip-

pines is one of the top fi ve recipients of remittances globally receiving about USD$19 billion annually

While this informal part of the banking sector certainly promotes fi nancial inclusion the BSP has made efforts to formalize the industry In 2010 it passed an amendment to certain banking regulations allowing for banks to establish microbanking offi ces (ldquoMBOsrdquo) MBOs are much smaller and cheaper to set up than bank branches They also offer a wider range of services that are important to Filipinos including microinsurance electronic money transfers social secu-rity payouts and savings products

nurse a bleeding ear while performing on stage

Corrales blamed alcohol for her husbandrsquos violent episodes

ldquoOnce he would already take a drop of alcohol I was already like this (hands clasped in prayer) it would happen againrdquo she recalled

ldquo[There was a time] I was hit with a telephone here (points to her ear) -- it was bleeding -- can you imagine singing with thatrdquo Corrales said

Staying in spite of it

Decades after the grim chapter of her life Corrales is still befuddled as to why she stayed in the relationship after the first time she was hit

ldquoUp until now I cannot understand

why Why didnrsquot I just walk out and run I donrsquot understandrdquo she said

The strains from the abusive rela-tionship would soon affect peoplersquos perception of her Corrales recalled

ldquoWhat happens is that sometimes people say lsquoYou like to be beatenrsquo but then you tell yourself lsquoWhy didnrsquot you get out

ldquoPeople were telling me lsquoMy God gusto mo siguro magulpi Why didnrsquot you leave him after so many years kung ginaganoon ka namanrsquo Then I thought my goodnessrdquo she said

Not an hour

Recounting del Paraguayrsquos abusive episodes Corrales said she also feared being alone -- the reason for her staying in the relationship despite the physical and emotional strains that came with it

ldquoSeems like I thought if I leave him wala naman ako dito maghah-

anap naman ako ng iba I donrsquot want to be alonerdquo Corrales said

At the time Corrales nonetheless had her two children -- Jackie Lou Blanco and Ramon Christopher Gutierrez

ldquoUntil a certain day came -- parang sinabi ko -- thatrsquos it You leave and never go back It took me 10 yearsrdquo she said

Today the ldquoX-Factorrdquo judge said she wonrsquot stay in a relationship a year if she were faced with the same situation anew

ldquoIf it would have happened now the next day I will leave I wonrsquot stay an hourrdquo she said

270 rice growers go for organic

farmingManila Times | MANILA

6292012 -- La Liga Policy Institute (La Liga) a national development organization announced yesterday that some 270 rice farmers from Pangasinan province had graduated from its ldquoOrganikong Palayan (OP)rdquo field-school program In an emailed statement La Liga said the farmers have vowed to apply in their own farms their newly-acquired knowl-edge and skills in organic agricul-ture ldquoThe graduation today of hundreds of new organic rice farm-ers is regarded as a new milestone in our advocacy for sustainable organic and ecological agriculturerdquo La Liga Managing Director Roland Cabigas said ldquoOrganikong Palayan program helps restore soil fertility reduce expenses for agricultural inputs and increase the incomes of farmers and the farming community In the medium term it significantly contributes in the implementation of the Department of Agriculturersquos strategy of attaining food and staple sufficiency during the administration of President Benigno Aquino 3rdrdquo Cabigas added La Liga and the Go Organic Philippines movement have been advocating for sustainable organic and ecological agriculture in the country for years now These two groups earlier pushed to have an organic agriculture legislation in the country In 2010 the Philip-pine Organic Agriculture Act (RA 100681) was signed into law The farmers then enrolled in the SLT and participated in its 14 sessions of production of organic fertilizer and actual organic rice farming in eight designated learning farms (two for each of the LGU project areas)

San Diego County News Center | SAN DIEGO 7132012 -- A wild deer mouse trapped in North Es-condido during routine monitoring has tested positive for the poten-tially deadly hantavirus San Diego County vector control officials said Friday

ldquoInfected mice rarely pose a threat to people if they remain in the wild said Jack Miller director of the County Department of Environmen-tal Health But hantavirus can be a danger if infected rodents get in-doors and people come into contact with their droppings People should never sweep up or vacuum rodent droppings or nesting materials when they find them but use bleach solu-tions and sponges or mops to care-fully clean up insteadrdquo

Wild rodents primarily deer mice carry hantavirus People contract the disease by inhaling dust particles containing the virus from rodent droppings and nesting materials When the virus becomes airborne and is inhaled it can cause hanta-virus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) Symptoms which can develop between one to five weeks after ex-posure are similar to the flu but can lead to severe breathing difficulties and even death

Mouse tests positive for hantavirus

Death came swiftly suddenly but not it was not unexpected One day in October 2011the motor bike pulled into the open entrance in front of the church rectory of Italian missionary environmentalist and human rights defender Father Fausto Tentorio When he came out of the rectory the killer pulled out his gun and shot the priest dead and drove away Another shocking murder of a man who gave his life defending the ancestral lands of the indigenous people wanted by the mining com-pany Crime solved the trigger was most likely pulled by a unknown mining tycoon

Hundreds of environmentalists defending the rights of the people to their ancestral homelands forests and agricultural lands that are being stolen by the rich and the powerful have been killed according to Global Witness a non-government agency In the Philippines as many as fifty Filipino environmental defenders have been killed in recent years al-legedly by the money moguls behind the logging mining and power plant industries

The UN environmental summit in Rio De Janeiro in Brazil has been declared a failure fizzling out like a damp squib with an insignificant document that failed to reach a clear binding agreement to curb global warming and end fossil fuel for energy production It has achieved practically nothing to curb CO2 gas-ses and other harmful human activity that is causing global warming

It was supposed to get national leaders to agree to a sustainable green energy agenda for the future The super rich industrialists and multinational oil and fossil fuel corporations have played a sinister role behind the scenes to stymie any progress towards a cleaner safer and happier world Most come from a financial culture where Greed is Good and the only green they want to see is on a thousand dollar bill

In the Philippines the voices of the many people demanding an end to the construction of coal powered plants are being ignored and even protesters are receiving threats In Subic Bay the entire bay and its towns are threatened by the pro-posed 600 MW coal plant project of RP Energy a consortium with powerful political connections in the cabinet of President Aquino I pray that his energy policy will favor

renewable energy and not coal and fossil fuel His great legacy of anti-corruption might be sullied by these influential industrialists He must serve the best interests of the people not the profit-making plans of the plutocracy

Industrialists and financing cor-porations lobby heavily to influence governments to continue the fossil fuel fiasco like power plants that poison the people in many countries In the Philippines the Secretary of Energy is pushing President Aquino into the furnace of coal fired power plants like fury The honorable secretary has denied he is influenced in anyway by his past position in the private power generation sector

I pray for him to continue being good and faithful to the people and resist the pressures and temptations to give into the ploys of former associates employers in the power generation industry to whom he may have an debt of honor (utang na Loob) His greater debt of honor is to the President and the people who elected him and who want a clean healthy environment

The Secretary of Energy is report-ed to want eleven coal fired power plants all over the country Lower cost renewable sustainable electric-ity can be generated from volcanic heat through Geothermal plants and get lithium as a side product to make powerful batteries that can run clean electric cars However mysteriously heavy import taxes are imposed on geothermal equipment Almost none on mining and coal burning equip-ment

The Lopez group of companies First Gen Corporation is offering to construct two 300 megawatt hydro-plants on the Angat and Norzagaray rivers respectively Other companies offer clean renewable and solar and wind power to make electricity

The Philippines should end the black and dirty coal policy The pro-posed Subic Bay coal plant is mired in allegedly corrupt deals with the former government They will only pay one million pesos a year in rent These plants that are belching daily poison gasses and ash into the air we breath are killing people There is no long term solution to dispose of the millions of tons of deadly semi-toxic ash and the deadly mercury and ura-nium pollutants will remain forever The Lord of the Cosmos has given us a beautiful planet we are morally bound to protect and cherish it and all living creatures END

TFC brings RPrsquos current top screen moneymaker to 10

cities in the US

REDWOOD CITY CA July 12 2012 ndash When what seemed like an obscure little comedy fi lm starring an erstwhile perennial supporting ac-tress made a killing in the box offi ce back in 2009 grossing P80 million in six weeks the fi lm industry of the Philippines hailed the arrival of new comedy royalty in the person of Eugene Domingo

The fi lm was Kimmy Dora Kam-bal Sa Kiyeme which told the story of twins one smart and domineer-ing (Kimmy) the other slow and pure-hearted (Dora) both played by Domingo in a comic tour de force performance The latter appeared to

be the favored one of their beloved rich father Luisito Go Dong Hae (Ariel Ureta) and his handsome senior manager Johnson (Dingdong Dantes) which led to jealousy and a comedy of errors that resulted from an unintended kidnapping plot It had a happy ending though with the sisters realizing their love for each other and Kimmy fi nding a man for herself in six-packed farmer Barry (Zanjoe Marudo)

The fi lm was acclaimed for the in-credible energy and commitment of the cast led by Domingo in making the zaniest characters believable and relatable And then of course all of them were game to make serious fun of themselves including Domingo as Kimmy standing before a sexy but disinterested Dantes as Johnson

in a swimming pool delivering a hi-larious naughty spin on the famous quote from the movie Notting Hill ldquoIrsquom just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love herrdquo A clas-sic comic screen moment But this should be surpassed by the much-talked about borderline scandalous absolutely hilarious kissing scene in the sequel between the characters of Kimmy and true love Barry

Riding on the success of the original Kimmy Dora the tandem of director Joyce Bernal and writer Chris Martinez created a sequel with new twists and turns Titled Kimmy Dora amp The Temple of Kiyeme Bernal and Martinez collided humor with horror in a plot that takes the sisters to a discovery of an old family secret and a trip to South Korea to confront a vengeful spirit and reawaken the three men in the sistersrsquo lives who all have mysteri-ously fallen to sleep Be ready for unexpected characters and a thrilling ride watching the sequel

The new concept apparently worked Kimmy Dora amp The Temple of Kiyeme became only the second Filipino fi lm in 2012 so far to surpass P100 million in the box offi ce reaching almost P117 million in three weeks placing second only to The Amazing Spider-Man in the Philippines

ldquoSummer in the US is still fun and fantasy and without any doubt Kimmy Dora amp The Temple of Ki-yeme will give these to our audience in large dosesrdquo said Jun Del Rosa-rio TFC Head of Cable amp satellite Distribution and North America Marketing Strategist ldquoWe want to make sure that moviegoers here en-joy the breadth of the Filipino movie experience in US theatres so we will continue to offer quality fi lms with diverse themes for the familyrdquo

CEBU - The Archdiocese of Cebu offi cially commences the 100-day countdown to the Canonization of Blessed Pedro Calungsod on July 12 2012 Thursday

This is the Offi cial Logo for the

Canonization of the Young saint in Rome this October 21 2012 Blessed Pedro Calungsod is fa-mously dubbed as good friend and companion He died defending his priest-companion while on mission in Guam

100-Day Countdown to Canonization of Filipino from Cebu

By Zena Sultana Babao Contrary to popular belief the

church is not a building It is an as-sembly of people

When Jesus said ldquoI will build my church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against itrdquo Jesus was saying that the Church ndash His chosen people ndash would not die out It would be alive a warm and caring body of believers striving to serve God do His work and support each other

Before Christ came to earth God called only a few people out of their societies to serve Him and further His work Many of them are mentioned in Hebrews 11 a chapter in the Bible we could call the ldquoFaith Hall of Famerdquo

Even as Jesus called and worked through individual leaders and prophets to do spiritual work God established a physical nation to help fulfi ll His plan This nation the descendants of Abraham through his grandson Jacob (renamed Israel by God) was also known as Godrsquos church

God had a plan for Abraham In His mission to extend His love to all humanity God chose a man who was faithful and obedient to serve as a physical and spiritual role model Abraham set an example of obedi-ence in leaving his home country at Godrsquos command not even know-ing his destination He believed God would fulfi ll His promises in spite of the seeming impossibilities involved

Those who were called and chosen for a relationship with God in the past present and future are Abra-hamrsquo spiritual descendants but God also worked through Abrahamrsquos physical descendants One of the re-sponsibilities God gave to the physi-cal nation of Israel was to represent Him to show by example that Godrsquos way works

However we read in the Bible that not only did Israel fail to set a good example for its neighboring nations but the Israelites also broke their agreement with God and even caused Godrsquos name to be blas-phemed They didnrsquot have the heart needed to fully accomplish Godrsquos will and they resisted the Holy Spirit as does all mankind without the special calling of God

But God has a plan to make a new heart available to us all and to write His laws in our mind As a result of Christrsquos sacrifi ce Godrsquos Spirit is

The Church that Christ Builtnow available to individuals of any nation or race who genuinely repent and accept Jesus Christ as their Sav-ior and Lord Godrsquos ultimate pur-pose is salvation for all people both Israelite and gentile (non-Israelite)

And here enters the next step in Godrsquos plan ndash the founding of the Church

With the coming of the promised Messiah ndash Jesus Christ of Nazareth ndash the stage was set for a new phase in Godrsquos plan of salvation This phase involves God working through a group of people ndash the Church ndash who are spiritually transformed by the Holy Spirit God chose them not only to receive salvation but to carry out Godrsquos work for the ulti-mate benefi t of all humanity

By calling and training His dis-ciples Jesus prepared them to be His apostles (messengers) and a major part of the foundation of the Church The writings of the apostles continue to teach and support the Church as do the writings of the prophets in the Old Testament who are also part of the Churchrsquos foundation

Miraculous signs marked the beginning of the New Testament Church and Godrsquos giving of the Holy Spirit God wanted to draw at-tention to this event to call a sizable initial base from which the Church would expand into the world

ldquoSo then those who are in the fl esh cannot please God But you are not in the fl esh but in the Spirit if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ he is not His (Romans 88-9)

Without Godrsquos Spirit we are not Christrsquos Yet the Church is described as belonging to Christ ndash it is His Body and Bride ndash a spiritually trans-formed people The Spirit makes that change possible

God called many to repentance and the disciples baptized many The Church grew rapidly in the be-ginning with excitement and fervor evident in the Churchrsquos early history The book of Acts reports on later times of persecution and scattering as well as the growth of individual congregations throughout the Roman Empire as the apostles spread the gospel

Jesus predicted His fl ock would remain small and beleaguered down through history False prophets would even arise within the Church

There is no vaccine or specifi c treatment for hantavirus and the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report the disease has killed 36 percent of all the people known to have contracted it

The best way to prevent the dis-ease is to keep mice out of houses garages and sheds

How to Avoid Exposure

Eliminate rodent infestations im-mediately

Avoid rodent-infested areas and do not stir up dust or materials that may be contaminated with rodent drop-pings and urine

Clean up rodent droppings and urine using the wet cleaning method described below

Use ldquowet-cleaningrdquo methods to prevent inhaling the virus

DO NOT SWEEP OR VACUUM INFESTED AREAS

Ventilate affected area by opening doors and windows for at least 30 minutes

Use rubber gloves Spray a 10 per-cent bleach solution (2 tablespoons bleach to 1 cup of water) onto dead rodents rodent droppings nests contaminated traps and surround-ing areas and let the disinfectant stand for at least 15 minutes before cleaning

Clean with a sponge or a mop Place disinfected rodents and debris into two plastic bags seal them and discard in the trash

Wash gloves in a bleach solution then soap and water and dispose of them using the same double-bag method

Thoroughly wash your bare hands with soap and water

I remember reading a pamphlet of Opus Dei a religious group about work It advised that whatever your job is no matter how insignifi cant or menial it may be you must value it You must sanctify your work by doing a perfect job then offering it to God For instance if you are a janitor assigned to clean a toilet you must make it spic and span Clean it so well that you would not mind sleeping in it Then offer your perfect job to God For God is perfection He will be pleased and you will get fulfi llment and pride in your work no matter how lowly it may appear

Once you have a job save money to support yourself to college Go to a technical school fi rst During our time we have vocational courses here at Arellano Students learned to repair cars radios and televisions and learn bookkeeping Learn a skill like automotive cooking or computer work This will help you get a better job with better pay until you save enough to go to college at night while working during the day Or you can work and save money so that you can go into business Remember Lydiarsquos Lechon Jonirsquos Bakeshop They started small Just a one-table food stand Now they are big corporations You can do the same There are count-less examples If they can do it you can do it too

Once you have a steady career you can work hard and play hard

Imagine after high school you girls did not go to college What kind of jobs can you get Salesgirls earning

a few pesos I was told salesgirls in department stores are earning only below the minimum wage Kaya marami sila nakatayo lang na parang mga manikin Thatrsquos is why there are a lot of them standing like manne-quins With their very low pay the department store owners can afford to hire all of them Hundreds of them Siguro libre ang make-up Maybe the makeup is free for I notice that all of them are wearing some Without a college diploma you might end up as a domestic help Or worse Do you want your life to be like that

Some girls are determined to get married after high school hoping their husbands would support them They dream of staying home taking care of the house and the kids and living happily ever after Do you think that is possible Look around Almost all the girls who did so are as poor as rats desperate to survive as any uneducated jobless girl can be Why Because it is beyond logic It is not realistically possible It is a dream It is a fantasy To marry early and live happily ever after is a fairy tale Hindi mo makakain ang pag-ibig You cannot eat love our parents use to say Ang pag-aasawa ay hindi parang mainit na kanin na isusubo at iluluwa pag napaso ldquoMarriage is not a hot rice that is put in the mouth only to be spat out if one gets burnedrdquo so said an old Filipino saying Okay there might be one or two lucky enough to marry well and be sup-ported by their husbands But are they happy Being dependent on some-body else Many women who married irresponsible husbands or those with little education end up sacrifi cing for

their children They end up as bread-winners with no time for themselves But why leave your future to chance Why not take control of your life yourself and carve your own bright future Why not Believe you me there is nothing better than support-ing yourself instead of depending on other people

Of course at this period of your puberty you may fall in love Falling in love at a time when you clearly cannot afford to settle down and raise a family can be confl icting This is one trial every young man and woman had to pass through Like a rite of passage One must resist temp-tations curb onersquos passion control onersquos hormones and keep onersquos eyes on the prize - of fi nishing college and launching a career During our time we had classmates who eloped in their teens Some lived poor others got separated Donrsquot miss out on be-ing a bachelor or bachelorette Enjoy the bliss of singlehood You will be shortchanging yourself denying yourself of much greater happiness if you succumb to your feelings prematurely Those feelings will pass will fade away until you realize that being heartbroken at this point in your life is the best thing that could happen to you Better to focus on your career for now

We accompanied our youngest daughter on a campus tour of a uni-versity in Washington DC The tour guide aside from explaining all the advantages of going to that school told the prospective students ldquoIf you have a boyfriend or girlfriend you are leaving behind in high school or in your hometown I am telling you now to forget them No matter how much or how passionately you love them now For after a semester in this school you will not even think that they ever existedrdquo

Crushes come and go You will experience many of them True love will come your way without you even looking for it God will introduce you to the love of your life your lifetime mate the mother or father of our chil-dren without even you looking for him or her Just focus on your studies have fun going out with your friends boys andor girls and enjoy your youth Donrsquot shortchange yourself by

being happy at fi rst by marrying early only to feel sorry the rest of your life

One way of earning a scholarship to college is by joining the school band which I hear we have This is another avenue you should consider explor-ing

Of course there are those among you lucky to have parents to support you through college Value that great opportunity Donrsquot take it for granted Having a parental support however is not a guarantee for success It de-pends on the attitude of an individual

When I was in college a cousin of mine was brought to our house from the province by his mother She requested we let her son stay in our house so that he could go to college They could not afford a dorm for him to stay My mom agreed out of the goodness of heart That cousin of mine Ely stayed with me in my room I would sleep in my bed while he slept on the fl oor Eventually he moved to my fatherrsquos printing busi-ness in Quiapo for it was walking distance to his school He wanted to become an engineer and he had the intellectual IQ to tackle and succeed in the course A year later his younger brother Mario joined him Mario took up commerce at the Polytechnic University in Manila The brothers lived in the mezzanine fl oor of the printing press rent free Later Ely had a girlfriend They went out on dates despite the limited allowance his farmer father was sending him His girlfriend got pregnant and Ely was forced to quit school and go back to their barrio Mario soon graduated and was recommended for a job at the Central Bank of the Philippines by one of his professors During one of our family gatherings in the province Mario came driving his brand new car He made it big and transformed himself from being a naiumlve barrio boy into a successful bank executive His elder brother Ely the would-be engineer was there too No he did not come in a brand new car He came driving a tricycle which he used in plying his trade as a tricycle driver Given an opportunity you must grab it by the horns Donrsquot let it go until you cross the fi nish line

(To be continued)

Followed by another comment ldquoDo we now have in you a Dr Rizal of the 21st century I BELIEVE SOrdquo

I responded with the following ldquoDanny thanks for your comments and great COMPLIMENT I have been compared to some famous men before but Dr Jose Rizal Coming from you I am taking it as a real compliment Though this reminds me of San Beda Prof Regalado (who obtained the high-est grade in Bar exams history) when he told us ldquoA praise undeserved is a slan-der in disguiserdquo Being abroad and still concerned about the Philippines there is really a Rizal in all of us It is not unlike the Propaganda Movement in Madrid Spain crying for reforms during his and Lopez Jaenarsquos time So thank you again for the complimentrdquoDuring the darkest hours of Martial Law when the Philippines was gov-erned by a dictator named Ferdinand Marcos there were also efforts abroad by both Filipino-Americans and exiled Filipinos to expose the atrocities and abuses of the dictatorial regime Like the La Solidaridad during the time of Rizal there were also publications ar-ticles and books written to infl uence and advocate changes in US policies that favored or supported dictatorial regimes The targets for these advocacies and lobbying efforts were the US Congress the White House and the US State Department

One active organization leading the propaganda efforts was the Movement for a Free Philippines (MFP) led by Raul S Manglapus and later joined by Ninoy Aquino who was imprisoned by Marcos for several years We all know what happened to Aquino at the airport in Manila while under the ldquocarerdquo of Marcos soldiers Like Rizal he also died for the Philippine cause

What also impressed me during those years was the involvement of real Filipino doctors like Rizal They cam-paigned funded and led without fear until the US administration reversed its policies and supported the Fili-pino peoplersquos desire to recapture their freedom and dignity through the People Power Revolution

Subject to further additions in a future article that would also describe their respective roles let me mention some of them as I remember them at this writing

So you wonrsquot go to college because you are poor - Part 2

Follow Asian Journal on Twitter asianjournal

I have traveled to several places in Asia South America Europe and North America as a student business executive and lawyer

For sometime now my wife and I have been receiving invitations to join my sister and her husband on a cruise that is usually coupled with land tours

We never got around to accepting fi rst because the cruises were too long (two weeks or more) and second the cities involved in the land tours were places we had already visited

But last month we accepted the invita-tion because the cruise was only 7 days with an additional 3 nights in Madrid Spain

I have never been to Madrid I have always wanted to see envision and trace the movements of Jose Rizal and the other members of the Propaganda Movement during a very important period in our history

I was always interested in drawing parallelisms between and among the propagandists in the 19th Century led by the likes of Jose Rizal Lopez Jaena del Pilar and other members of the Propa-ganda Movement who operated in Ma-drid those in the 20th Century such as the members of Anti-Marcos groups led by Raul Manglapus and Ninoy Aquino who operated in Washington DC and todayrsquos bloggers columnists Twitters Facebook status updaters commentators and other opinion-makers of both the main media and social networks in this 21st Century

When I wrote an article entitled ldquoOld 4Gs to New 4Gs Gaining Groundrdquo It elicited a reaction from Danny Be-navente a resident of Southern Califor-nia but born and raised in my hometown of Rosales Pangasinan Philippines

He said ldquoBrilliant Just plain bril-liant This one can resonate to as far and to the highest public offi ce in the PIrdquo

Four Keys of Life

Irsquom like most people throughout the world someone whose life has been impacted in one way or another by breast cancer In my case mem-bers of my family have dealt with it plus my sister passed away from it a few years ago There are numerous great organizations helping people and ldquoSusan G Komen for the Cure is the global leader of the breast cancer movement boasting the worldrsquos largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activ-

ists The organization has included ldquoThe Four Keys of Liferdquo to their education literature to encourage and promote breast self-awareness

The four keys1 Talk to your family There is

still hesitancy in many families to talk about personal health issues especially where ldquofemale cancersrdquo such as breast endometrial and ovarian cancer are concerned But studies have connected shared genetic components between breast cancer and other cancers that may be useful in understanding your risk

of contracting the disease Providing your doctor with your family health history may lead to a better under-standing of your personal risk

2 Get screened Your doctor will determine what screening tests are right for you For women of ldquoaverage riskrdquo clinical breast exams should begin at age 20 and be repeated every three years Annual mammograms should begin at age 40 For higher risk women addi-tional screenings such as an MRI may be recommended by your health care provider

3 Know what is normal for you Any visible or palpable changes to your breasts should be reported to your doctor These changes include a lump hard knot or thickening swelling warmth redness or darken-ing a change in the size or shape of the breast dimpling or puckering of the skin itchy scaly sore or rash on the nipple pulling in of the nipple or other part of the breast nipple discharge that starts suddenly new pain in one spot that does not go away How to perform a Breast Self-Examination (BSE) can be found at wwwkomenorgbse

4 Make healthy lifestyle choices Studies and scientifi c literature purport that maintaining a healthy weight adding exercise to your rou-tine and limiting alcohol intake may all reduce the risk of breast cancer

HistorySusan G Komen fought breast

cancer with her heart body and soul Throughout her diagnosis treatments and endless days in the hospital she spent her time thinking of ways to make life better for other women battling breast cancer instead of worrying about her own situation Moved by Susanrsquos compassion for others and commitment to mak-ing a difference Nancy G Brinker promised her sister that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer Though Susan lost her battle with the disease her legacy lives on through the work of Susan G Ko-men for the Curereg the organization Nancy started in her honor Komen for the Cure is the global leader of the breast cancer movement having invested more than $1 billion since its inception in 1982 Komenrsquos promise is to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empower-ing people ensuring quality care for

all and energizing science to fi nd the cures

In San Diego Since 1995 In 1995 a group of passionate

committed health educators and breast cancer survivors did more than just imagine They acted by founding the San Diego Affi liate of Susan G Komen for the Cure Since its inception in 1995 Komen for the Cure San Diego has awarded grants totaling more than $85 million dollars to local organizations that have made valuable contributions to breast cancer diagnostics treatment education screening and patient support Through events and dona-tions Susan G Komen for the Cure is able to bring funding and hope to the fi ght against breast cancer Each year the Komen Race for the Cure and the Breast Cancer 3- Dayreg raise signifi cant funds and awareness for breast cancer celebrating breast cancer survivorship and honoring those who have lost their battle with the disease With pledges from these events and donations throughout the year strides are being made to continue the quest for a cure

Each year 75 percent of proceeds are awarded through a grant process to local organizations Each grantee conducts a program that offers breast cancer education screening or treat-ment to residents in the San Diego area

The remaining 25 percent is directed to the Susan G Komen for the Cure National Grant Program to fund research on a national and in-ternational level Since the Affi liatersquos inception in 1995 nearly $7 million has been given to local organizations that provide breast cancer education screening diagnostics treatment and patient support for the uninsured or underinsured in San Diego County

Change the system Be the solution You can be the difference You can

help end breast cancer forever The Komen Champions for the Curereg advocacy program is focused on educating Congress federal offi cials state legislators and other policy makers about breast cancer through community involvement Komen Champions for the Cure was in-spired by the commitment and force of Komen volunteers who want to join the fi ght

From breast cancer research to early detection and quality care Ko-men Champions for the Cure aims to

infl uence the federal government on crucial breast cancer issues by con-tacting Members of Congress By challenging candidates and those in public offi ce to make breast cancer a priority you can change the system and you can be the solution to breast cancer

Exercise May Reduce Risk of Breast Cancer

Being physically active is one of the best things you can do for your health Exercise may help lower your risk of developing or dying from breast cancer

The Church that Christ built

(Continued from page 4)

dividing and diluting its message These prophecies indeed came to pass False teachers introduced a host of different doctrines and practices in the church The Bible shows that Satan the being ultimately behind this counterfeit Christianity has deceived the whole world and that Satanrsquos ministers usually appear as ministers of righteousness

Satanrsquos inroads into the Church were so rampant at this stage near the end of the First Century that true Chris-

tians were actually excommunicated from some congregations

Although Satan has repeatedly at-tacked and tried to destroy it the Church has not died out Though the details have often been hard to fi nd in history Godrsquos Church created by Jesus Christ has survived the worst persecutions of the Roman Empire and the Dark Ages as well as the attacks of more recent times

Somewhere on earth members of the small fl ock have always continued to serve God to the best of their under-standing and ability Today the Church that Christ built continues as a small but active and faithful body striving to spread Godrsquos good news in a faithless world ndash zenasultanahotmailcom

IMMIGRATION 911 By Atty Susan V Perez

While there is a shortage for nurses in the United States there is still no indication when USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) will resume issuing immigrant visas to fi ll the void There are many skilled and experienced foreign nurses in the United States who are looking for jobs in vari-ous hospitals and healthcare facilities Hospitals and health care facilities want to utilize their skills and services but there arenrsquot immigrant visas available because of the retrogression Irsquove talked to Filipino registered nurses who have been waiting for the immigrant visa for a long time and are willing to take nonimmigrant visas

THE H-1B NONIMMIGRANT VISAThe H-1B program allows employers

to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise in a specialized fi eld and a bachelorrsquos degree or its equivalent Typical H-1B occupations include architects engineers computer programmers accountants doctors and college professors Certain specialty occupations in the nursing industry may qualify for H-1B nonimmigrant status Specifi cally a narrow group of nurses holding a baccalaureate or higher degree (or equivalency) in nursing that includes advanced practice nurses (such as Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS) Nurse Practitioners (NP) Certifi ed Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA) and Certifi ed Nurse-Midwives (CNM)) nurse managers and nursing adminis-trators may qualify for H-1B status According to USCIS data the issuance of H-1B visas for specialty occupation nurses varies greatly from year to year In recent history the greatest number of H-1B nurse visas issued in any given fi scal year was only 136 The H-1B visa for specialty occupation nurses is avail-able to qualifi ed nurses from all foreign countries However the limited scope of eligible specialty occupations greatly narrows the potential use of the H-1B to fi ll US nursing job vacancies For instance many RNs may not qualify for an H-1B because employers and state licensing boards do not usually require a BSN to perform services as a registered nurse On June 11 2012 the H-1B cap has been reached and USCIS stopped accepting applications for H-1B The next H-1B season will be open on April 1 2013

THE H-1C NONIMMIGRANT VISAThe H-1C nonimmigrant classifi ca-

tion enables foreign nurses to perform services as a registered nurse in a US health professional shortage area as determined by the US Department of Labor To qualify for an H-1C visa both the employer and employee must meet certain eligibility criteria The US employer must 1) be a ldquosubsection (d)rdquo hospital under the Social Security Act 2) be located in a ldquoHealth Profes-sional Shortage Areardquo 3) have at least 190 acute care beds 4) have a Medicare population of no less than 35 5) have a Medicaid population of less than 28 and 5) be certifi ed by the Department of Labor

Since the H1-C nonimmigrant visa program sunset on December 20 2009 visas for hundreds of nurses have expired or will expire soon leaving H-1C authorized healthcare employers struggling to provide much-needed pro-fessional nursing care with a dwindling nursing staff HR 1933 is currently pending before the US Senate Judiciary

Committee which would reauthorize the H-1C nonimmigrant visa program Ac-cording to recent information provided by this committee HR 1933 remains on its agenda but is not yet scheduled for a Senate vote As drafted the bill will reauthorize the availability of 300 H-1C visas for an initial validity period of three years with the opportunity to renew H-1C status for an additional three years There is however no guar-antee that HR 1933 will be approved and become a law

THE H-3 TRAINEE VISAThe H-3 visa is a rarely used option

available to temporary workers includ-ing nurses The primary purpose of this visa is to enable the foreign nurse to receive training and not to provide productive employment unless such employment is incidental and necessary to the training It is better than the F-1 or student visa because they get paid during the training

The H-3 trainee has been defi ned by the Code of Federal Regulations as ldquoa nonimmigrant who seeks to enter the United States at the invitation of an individual or organization for the purposes of receiving training in any fi eld of endeavor such as agriculture commerce communications fi nance government transportation as well as training in a purely industrial establish-mentrdquo1 Physicians are not eligible to apply under this category but nurses are For nurses the basic requirements are 1) the proposed training is unavailable in the home country 2) the training is designed to benefi t the applicant in pur-suing her career in the home country 3) the nurse has passed the licensure exam in the country where she obtained her nursing education and 4) a statement from the petitioning employer that the applicant is fully qualifi ed to engage in the training

It is important that the employer dem-onstrate that the trainee will be returning to another country to use the skills he or she gained in the United States At the interview the applicant nurse must show that he or she will not abandon residence in a foreign country and that he or she intends to depart the United States at the end of the training program Therefore the H-3 petition may be denied if the applicant nurse has a certifi ed perma-nent labor certifi cation or has an I-140 Immigrant Petition fi led by the same employer on his or her behalf

The training program should not be longer than two (2) years There will be no extension change of status or re-admission to H or L status granted after two (2) years unless the alien resided and is physically present outside the United States for six (6) months This is not too bad compared to the J-1 trainee

who is required to stay in his or her home country for two years Spouses and children of the H-3 visa holder are eligible for H-4 dependent status

H-3 visa holders are given social security numbers and will be paid while undergoing the training However they should not be receiving as much as the regular employees because this can be perceived as displacing the US citizens

Philippine Star | Manila Philippines 792012 - The province of Bohol is out to reclaim its post as the top tourist destination in the country

This is the newfound vision of the government of Bohol which recently launched its newest tourism campaign mdash dubbed ldquoBohol Heart of the Islands Truly Philippinesrdquo mdash in partnership with Philippine Bohol Arts Foundation Institute (PABFI) and the provincersquos tourism stakeholders

Aimed at immensely boosting local and foreign tourist arrivals and making the province the countryrsquos preferred travel desti-nation the campaign showcases Boholrsquos rich cultural and historical heritage highlighting its rich eco-cultural value beyond the Chocolate Hills and the diminutive tarsiers the worldrsquos smallest primate

ldquoOther than the usual sites that are being promoted here the Loboc River the Chocolate Hills the tarsi-ers and the white sand beaches of Panglao there is more to discover in Bohol that will make a greater tourism impact not only for the province but also in relation to the Philippine context of promoting the countryrdquo said Bohol Governor Edgar Migrintildeo Chatto

The event held at the Centennial Hall in Manila Hotel gathered key public offi cials and tourism leaders

More Fun in the Philippines Bohol rolls out new tourism campaignincluding Manila Hotel president and former senator Joey Lina Philippine Tour Operators As-sociation (PHILTOA) president Cesar Cruz and Tourism Secre-tary Ramon Jimenez Jr

Others who graced the event were prominent travel program personalities Susan Calo Medina and Cory Quirino PBAFI execu-tive director Ria Cauton Tigum Bol-anon Tibuok Kalibutan (TBTK) president Betty Garcia Bohol Provincial Council chair Lucas Nunag board members of the province of Bohol and Amor Maclang director for PR and Communications of GeiserMa-

Bohol Governor Edgar Chatto and De-partment of Tourism Secretary Ramon Jime-nez shake hands during the unveiling of the Bohol campaign Bohol Heart of the Islands Truly Philippines

clang Marketing Communications Inc (GMCI) who later presented the marketing framework of the campaign

Located in Central Visayas Bohol literally sits in the heart of the Philippine archi-pelago Boasting diving sites revered as among the best worldwide the province is home to a number of natural wonders such as mdash aside from the Chocolate Hills mdash the biggest mangrove planta-tion in Asia and the Dajanon Bank the lone double-barrier reef in the region and one of

only six such marine structures in the world

Chocolate Hills do turn green during the rainy season

Apart from its diverse marine and terrestrial life and picturesque land-scapes a unique element that makes Bohol a truly quintessential Filipino destination is the great display of the remarkable and lively dynam-ics between the Filipinosrsquo inherent animistic and Catholic cultures

ldquoBohol and its people have a cer-tain respect and appreciation for her-itage and traditionrdquo Chatto shared ldquoThis is why we have come up with this campaign to highlight the capti-vating charm that Bohol exudes and the heartwarming hospitality offered by Boholanos themselvesrdquo

One of the things that Bohol would like to promote and enrich through its new tourism campaign is the element of nationalistic pride ldquoBy showing everyone how Boholanos have preserved practices and beliefs that other Filipinos have already

seemed to forget we are also able to emphasize the value of cherishing their heritagerdquo PBAFI executive Ria Cauton noted ldquoIn an age when our culture are soaked in various colonial ideas and infl uences thatrsquos really something that has become rarerdquo

Boholrsquos colorful history can be seen all over the prov-ince mdash especially when one looks upon its well-preserved Hispanic structures scattered

all over like the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in

Dauis which attracts thousands of devout Catholics every year and the Church of Our Lady of the Immacu-late Conception in Baclayon which is touted as Asiarsquos best-preserved Jesuit church

In addition other reasons that permit the province to say ldquoYou canrsquot say yoursquove been to the Philip-pines and truly experienced Filipino culture without having gone to Bo-holrdquo are its rich and distinct culinary offerings vibrant nightlife thriving art scene and ancestral craft-making practices All of these underscore the fact that indeed one of Boholrsquos main assets is its hospitable con-stantly jovial and honest people

ldquoYou donrsquot have to be from Bohol to love Boholrdquo revealed Secretary Jimenez ldquoItrsquos simply being part of a rich cultural experience that makes a visit to Bohol unforgettable The Loboc Childrenrsquos Choir for ex-ample has become a symbolic icon of the province precisely because as an American friend who heard them once said lsquoYou cannot sing the way they do if you are not happyrsquordquo

Take a fl oating lunch cruise along the Lob-oc River in Bohol

Corella is another inland town some 10 km north of Tagbilaran Bohol In Corella you can visit the Tarsier Sanctuary where tarsiers are observed protected and are freely living on its natural habitat

Just like in any part of the world a certain place will always have a spe-cifi c food that will be considered as its ldquospecialtyrdquo In Bohol Philippines there are also a lot of foods that tour-ists must try These Bohol foods are highly recommended that one must not leave Bohol without eating such foods otherwise their stay would not be very memorable

The Bohol food that tourists must try if they are by the Alona Beach is seafood The most recommended one is prawns Oftentimes this type of Bohol food is grilled One of the restaurants in Bohol that offer seafood is JASZ Restaurant This is a recommended restaurant because prices are affordable Other Bohol restaurants by the Alona Beach that offer seafood are the Panglao Beach Resort Restaurant Trudi and The Pyramid

Those who are not much into seafood may try dining at another Bohol restaurant called the Loboc River Cruise Lunch Recommended Bohol foods offered here include omelette grilled vegetables pork and chicken barbeque Seafood lov-ers are also suggested to visit this place as it serves superb seafood like lapu-lapu fi sh calamari and tigerprawns Tourists are suggested to have desert such as fresh fruits The prices of the Bohol foods at the Loboc River Cruise Lunch are quite expensive However nothing beats the taste of its foods as everything is just so delicious

If tourists want a Western-themed restaurant they must try out the Gar-den Cafeacute ndash American that is located in Tagbilaran City Placing orders at this restaurant is quite different from the usual restaurants that we go to One has to write down the orders and hand it over to the waitress This

THE METAMORPHOSISby Ernie D Delfi n America just turned 236 years

old In its over two centuries his-tory America has gone through the fi re that made it strong and stable Through countless trials during her lifetime such as the Civil War two World Wars many foreign wars like the Vietnam War and Iraqi War and civil unrests to name a few many American lives have been sacrifi ced to fi ght for what she believes in The last several years economic depressions or recessions that impoverished millions of people have become top issues in the country that have energized Amer-icans to debate intensely what is the right course for their country to pursue to better serve the well-being of her citizens and to bring back the luster and glory of America Due to national concerns on many is-sues like health care housing and global concerns on trade peace and foreign aid against the backdrop of an emerging superpower China Americarsquos national priorities and foreign policies will see a shift that will cause radical changes in this na-tion This election year will be an-other defi ning moment for America to steer Americansrsquo desire for their government to do to preserve its sta-tus as a superpower and envy of the world Despite its socio-economic problems and several foreign policy blunders that caused a signifi cant decline in Americarsquos infl uence in the world the last decade or so Ameri-cans are still a very lucky people as we are still guaranteed justice liberty and the pursuit of our own happiness that more than half of the earthrsquos population can just dream about

With that as a background I am quite grateful and fulfi lled this Independence Day 2012 as I also celebrated another birthday on July 5th (Philippine time) which is July 4th in America As 4th of July is a major holidays in the United States it has always been an opportune time for me to review my life and refl ect upon lifersquos meaning during this holiday amidst the elaborate fi re-works that surround the city where we live Having lived for over six decades now on this planet 60 of which in the American soil I can-not ask for more as I feel that I have had a ldquogood liferdquo on this earth with people I love and who love me too

The last 365 days since my last birthday were replete with surprises

events experiences and personal episodes that made me quite grateful that I am still alive and happy Like America as a person grows older (and wiser) his priorities change but his core values that serve as his compass remains constant That inexplicable feeling of joy and happiness as well as pains and suf-ferings often come to our lives as certain as the sunrise in the morning and sunset in the evening The past year has caused in me a good mix of human emotions happy sad scared regretful (for many things I have done or not done) hopeful and grateful that I am still alive and kicking today Less than a year ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and to the best of my memory I am the fi rst in my family to be stricken with that dreadful ldquoCrdquo ailment Such unexpected diagnosis from my annual medical exams has caused a very high degree of anxiety and ldquopains and sufferingrdquo within me and my family However I discovered solace and strength in my new found spiritual journey accepting that our Lord not us is in control of our lives and has admonished His people to ldquoBe not afraidrdquo Surprisingly I learned that His ldquoBe-not-afraid- advicerdquo appeared in the Bible 365 times

Thanks to my God the greatest Healer months after my surgery early this year my doctor told me that I am now a cancer survivor as my PSA level is now at negligible level He told me that he doesnrsquot want to see me more than twice a year now

Amidst that scary episode how-ever I also enjoyed many things during the past year like our month long adventure to Vienna Rome London and Paris with my one and only wife of over 30 years as our second honeymoon (many will be smiling or LOL with that bold disclosure) Another inventory of joyful accomplishments included the successful chartering of the Global Kalinga e-Rotary Club fi rst e- Club in Rotary District 3780 (and the second one in the entire Philip-pines) that I initiated and founded last year with 40 charter members who live in 6 countries that is expected to double by our fi rst An-niversary date in Oct 2012

This e-Rotary Club is like an infant that remains so tender and fragile that it needed a lot of patience and nourishment to grow But like lov-ing parents many of our committed

Independence Day 2012 and Birthday Refl ections

members are matured and patient enough to nurture this e-Rotary baby to develop it to become an Olym-pian athlete to compete in the near future Our GKeRotary Club has now members from many nationalities like Caucasians Hispanics Blacks Canadians Nigerians and Filipinos (from Luzon to Mindanao) who reside in as many 6 countries today As we grow in number with closer camaraderie among us doing many meaningful ldquoService Above Selfrdquo humanitarian proj-ects in the Philippines as well as in the city where we live we will have more FUN in this borderless e-Rotary Club than the traditional Rotary Club that meets weekly

Adhering to the ldquoSecretsrdquo in achieving a fulfi lled life by con-scious efforts (until they become unconscious efforts) to ldquobalanc-ing your Liferdquo into its essential quadrants PHYSICAL (to live) MENTAL (to learn) SOCIAL (to love) and SPIRITUAL (to leave a legacy) I have consciously put more time in one area that matters most (once you are over 60 like me) the ldquoleaving a legacyrdquo quadrant Itrsquos a fact of life that when you become a senior citizen you can no longer do many things nor eat many foods that you enjoyed when you were one and twenty when you were in high school or college so you simply adjust to your new reality Each morning that you wake up and able to walk and see the sunrise hear the chirping of birds smell the aroma of freshly brewed Healthy Coffee itrsquos always a small miracle and you thank the One Who gave you life Having accepted my own mortality that one day I will also meet my Maker I have replaced a good por-tion of ldquobusinessrdquo hours into vol-unteerism or ldquoService Above Selfrdquo hours in my church and several NGOs like the Rotary Interna-tional that truly render humanitarian works to others

Also for about fi ve years now I have been attending a weekly morn-ing Bible Study that has contributed greatly in the balancing of my life that is very hard to do in a materi-alistic society like the USA The word BIBLE has been creatively defi ned to mean ldquoB asic L essons B efore L eaving E arthrdquo and in so many ways it lsquos true All of us homo sapiens undergo that human journey like the biblical ldquoprodigal sonrdquo who must leave the family home goes away (to experience new things both good and bad) and hopefully comes back home (to his Father) as he must undergo some profound changes (for his own salvation) Life without any kind of metamorphosis the caterpillar would never become a beautiful and colorful butterfl y So does a person must undergo many phases of his transformation to enjoy his journey on this earth before he goes into that blissful state that many call Heaven or Paradise

Additionally last year I also fi nished by certifi cation classes and has been ldquocertifi edrdquo by the Diocese of Orange and the Orange County Sheriff to wear a white badge as a ldquoRestorative Justice Ministerrdquo aka ldquoPrison Detention Ministerrdquo where we visit and minister to the inmates in the Orange County Jails every week for Bible Study andor Catholic Com-munion Services every week

Meeting these ldquoinmatesrdquo (thatrsquos what they are called in County Jails in state or federal prison the incarcerated are called ldquoprisonersrdquo) and listening to them and ministering to their ldquospiritualrdquo needs on a weekly basis have an-nihilated many myths and miscon-ceptions that I used to hold ldquoagainstrdquo them Due to some educational and cultural biases I used to believe that all those in prison deserved to be there as they are ldquobadrdquo criminals but slowly I have softened that stand I now believe that although these in-mates are incarcerated they are still human beings also who still possess their human dignity as children of the same God Many martyrs and saints of the church like St John the Baptist and St Paul were also in prison The prison system is a part of the human society since biblical times and its worsening conditions in many areas are a sad refl ection of all of us en of the same God Many martyrs and our lives and He has admonished His people to ldquo

Punishments and Restorative

Justice are two schools of thoughts that are being administered in many prisons today The Catholic and many Christian churches advo-

cate that more must be done in the rehabilitation or in the Restorative Justice of inmates or prisoners in the Justice System to give back their human dignity even when they are incarcerated

Being a Prison Detention Minister and just listening and observing these inmates during our Catholic Communion Services that we do for them is another human experience

that can potentially convert a sinner like me into a better human being For instance I got an unexpected education from one woman inmate

when she declared ldquoI am now very happy that I was arrested for what I did I consider my arrest as my own rescue from a certain deathrdquo What a paradigm shift Now I can understand why there are many spiritual conversions that occur in prison because God does not leave a person wherever he is because He is everywhere

To any practicing Catholic (or any religion for that matter)

out there I highly recommend that he or she tries to see if becoming a Prison Detention or Restorative Jus-tice Minister is right for him or her It is a wonderful experience There is a great need for more dedicated and willing volunteers to minister to the spiritual needs of this growing prison population in America today

The foregoing column is a very sobering personal refl ection on

this 4th of July weekend that I am boldly sharing to all readers and my friends with a ray of hope that some may also be inspired to be an-other ldquoLamp in the City on the Hillrdquo for others to see the inexplicable wonders of God as He has mysteri-ously converted Saul the Christian persecutor into St Paul to become a great and fearless evangelist of our Christian faith

the maintenance of peace and stability respect for interna-tional law and unimpeded lawful commerce in the South China Seardquo

Clinton welcomed the meeting saying a slew of joint initiatives including disaster relief forestry policy and disease control were ldquoan important signal that the US and China not only can but will work together in Asiardquo

No threats and intimidationClinton also urged claimant

countries not to resort to threats and intimidation an indirect reference to China

ldquoWe believe the nations of the region should work collabora-tively and diplomatically to resolve disputes without coercion without intimidation without threats and without use of forcerdquo Clinton said

ldquoIssues such as freedom of navi-gation and lawful exploitation of maritime resources often involve a wide region and approaching them strictly bilaterally could be a recipe for confusion and even confronta-tionrdquo Clinton added

The US said stability is its concern in the waterway which carries $5 trillion in ship-borne trade account-ing for half the worldrsquos shipping tonnage

ldquoThe United States is going to be very clear in our determination to see progress on the code of conduct between those negotiations that are taking place between China and ASEANrdquo a senior US State Depart-ment offi cial told reporters earlier this week

Clearly outline positionClinton likewise urged ASEAN na-

tions ldquoto clearly outline its position on the Scarborough Shoalrdquo and ldquoto complete a regional code of conduct in a timely fashionrdquo

She warned about serious prob-lems to the regional bloc if ASEAN fails to address the challenge

ldquoWhat might be a challenge today for some of ASEANrsquos members if left unaddressed by all of ASEAN could lead tomorrow to issues that may become problems for other ASEAN membersrdquo she said

Clinton said the US ldquolooks to ASEAN and claimant states to provide leadership in this issue and recognizes the important role of the ASEAN chairman to fi nd consensus and advance a common ASEAN positionrdquo

ldquoASEAN needs to meet its own goals and standards and be able to speak with one voice on issues fac-ing the regionrdquo Clinton said

ASEANrsquos 10 members announced earlier this week that they have drafted a set of rules governing maritime rights and navigation and procedures for when governments disagree But China is not a member of the group and hasnrsquot agreed to anything

The ASEAN countries are present-

ing their proposal to China at this weekrsquos conference in Cambodiarsquos capital though Beijing will probably want to water down any language that ties its hands

For the US the diffi cult diplomacy ahead could be a major test of the Obama administrationrsquos efforts to ldquopivotrdquo American power toward the worldrsquos most populous continent Just speaking out on the subject already has helped the US deepen ties with Vietnam and relations are warming with other governments in the region

But countless meetings between American and Chinese offi cials have not led to progress on a lasting solution

Various longstanding disputes among China the Philippines Viet-nam Taiwan Malaysia and Brunei involve the arearsquos busy sea-lanes and many observers fear the compli-cated web of disputes could spark a violent confl ict

The standoff between China and the Philippines in Panatag (Scarbor-ough) Shoal began in April when the Philippines accused Chinese fi sher-men of poaching in its exclusive economic zone including the shoal During the tensions both sides sent government ships to the area though both have since withdrawn vessels

Vietnam has protested a recent an-nouncement by the China National Offshore Oil Corp opening nine oil and gas lots for international bidders in areas overlapping with existing Vietnamese exploration blocks Viet-nam says the lots lie entirely within its 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone and continental shelf

When conditions are ripeWith the ASEAN set to start

negotiations with China on a code of conduct Beijing said it is willing to work with member countries ldquowhen the conditions are riperdquo

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokes-person Liu Weimin said in a press conference in Beijing Monday that the code of conduct is not for the resolution of disputes in the West Philippine Sea

ldquoI would like to emphasize that the code of conduct aims not at resolv-ing the South China Sea disputes but boosting mutual trust and coopera-tion between the parties concerned in a joint bid to maintain peace and stability in the South China Seardquo Liu said

Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario for his part told the ASEAN meeting that ldquothe adher-ence of all countries in the region to a set of fair and transparent rules as embodied in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea will generate greater mutual trust and respect in the regionrdquo ndash AP Pia Lee-Brago

survive one must have a job but for one to prosper one must engage in business

For this I am not worried about my daughter She will never be unemployed a victim of closing or streamlining companies She has her own business with no overheads and she is in a higher notch than when she started and contin-ues to spiral up in her virtual store

Of course this is not for everyone This is not for the comfortable not for those who do not blaze trails not for the non-dreamers defi nitely not for those who choose to be with the ninety-fi ve percent of society who choose to be ordinary

Only fi ve percent of society dares to swim against the tides These are the likes of Steve Jobs Donald Trump Bill Gates and others like those who became millionaires in Amway

Knowing my daughter and if I am not mistaken I predict that she will persevere and succeed She is guided by the Scriptures and books written by those who have made it She is so disci-plined that she does not even watch TV She says Jessica Sanchez and Manny Pacquaio will not help her become fi -nancially free They could entertain you but when you go back to reality you are still in whatever state you are

AS THE BAMBOOS SWAY By Rudy D Liporada

A couple from church introduced Am-way to me in 1987 They showed a plan telling me that I could be a millionaire in two to fi ve years if I buy from my own store ndash soaps (both laundry and body) beauty products vitamins and many more ndash and share the dream with others

I did not care I just landed in America just two weeks before I came to Amer-ica to work in pursuit of my own kind of dream Besides even if I wanted to I did not have $8000 then to register plus I did not have lsquoothersrsquo to share dreams with

Fast forward to late 2010 My only daughter and youngest of my children then 18 gets wind of Amway She asks for $16700 so she could register to be-come what Amway calls an Independent Business Owner Although reluctant I shelled out the money After all it was not for drugs or something like that Then she tells us among others to buy from her store what we would be buying from other stores anyway Why make the other stores profi t when we should be patronizing her store The prices were competitive She changed our soaps toothpastes her momrsquos make-up kit drinks vitamins etc I did not really care To me shaving cream is shaving

cream laundry soap is laundry soap My daughter is happy I am happy

What I did not really know was she was growing her market She had others join her in her dream

In late 2010 she had to attend an Amway convention in Portland Oregon with her dozen team members ndash no one was over 21 years old They were going on a long drive for eighteen hours They needed two vans but no rent-a-car would allow them to rent the vehicles Grudg-ingly I acceded to her request that I and her mom rent one each of those vans and might as well join them ndash might as well be in the convention

And so we were there In front of ten thousand participants

couple after couple testifi ed how they realized their dream sharing Amway products They were former waitresses accountants doctors construction workers Navy Seals etc On gargantuan screens they fl aunted their villas jets yachts high end cars and their pleasure trips around the world They said that through patience and hard work for two to fi ve years they sailed to becoming millionaires ndash now waking up whenever they want and being full time moms and dads

I believed them If only one of them would be lying in front of ten thousand people the institution Amway would crumble down

Then I was angry There was this guy same as my age was a teacher like me He was on the stage as a millionaire and I was down there listening to him and I have nothing to show He got into Amway in the middle 90rsquos Deng It was introduced to me in 1987

I started reading their brochures and catalogs I came to the conclusion that mathematically you could really get rich doing this thing All you needed is the belief the emotional quotient strive patience and most of all your dreams

Nonetheless beyond the business be-yond the products beyond the dreams I treasure most what Amway has done to my daughter Instead of continuing to party like most of her peers she is reading the Bible upon waking up and follows this up with management and business related books She is in power business cloths instead of showing her belly buttons Most important before Amway she fi ghts with her mom Now they are the best of friends

So I tell my friends and acquaintances about Amway and its products Most of them because the company has been there for over 50 years have heard of it have been into it and have notions about it This is because Amway is the mother of networking and Amway stands for the American Way

Most of them too after I show or reshow them the product benefi ts and the principle of buying from your own store go back to Amway if they have been there before The main thing is all of them agree to the greatness of the products and appreciate the evolved and developed marketing system of the com-pany ndash for those in the know one does not have to horde products anymore to sell everything now is done on-line And if you are not computer suave one in the organization will do it for you because you at least know how to use your cell phone or you can directly call in the orders

Robert T Kiyosaki in his book Rich Dad Poor Dad says that in order for one to be fi nancially free one must have a business He means for one to only

Avoid immorality Every other sin a person commits is outside the body but the immoral person sins against his own body Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you whom you have from God and that you are not your own For you have been purchased at a price Therefore glo-rify God in your body (1Cor 618-20) I urge you therefore brothers by the mercies of God to offer your bodies as a living sacrifi ce holy and pleasing to God your spiritual worshipDo not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind that you may discern what is the will of God what is good and pleasing and perfect (Rom 121-2)

Words to Live By

Sa Aking Buhay (7)Sa aking buhay malimit akong maging atubili lalo na sa ikatatahimik nitong aking budhimay takot at pag-aalala aking mga sandalituloy magagandang bagay nakalampas ng madali

Sa aking buhay iniwasang pilit ang magkamali ang anuman gagawin korsquoy pag-iisipan ng mulikahit magdamagan pa ang gagawaing pagsusurisulit ang lahat bastarsquot walang mararamdamang hapdi

Sa aking buhay napagtanto ko ng tunay na tunayna kailanpaman ay walang lugar ang kasamaandahil kung mali din lamang ang tunay mong dahilanay talagang walang maganda itong kahihinatnan

Sa aking buhay natuklasan kong lsquodi lahat ng oras na dahil sa ang pakiramdam mo ngayon ay masarapay nakakasiguro kang magiging ayos ang lahatkasi hindi palaging ganoon ang nagiging wakas

Sa aking buhay ay aking napagwari ng taimtimna sa lsquoyong buhay ano nga ba ang tunay mong layunindahil sa kung ito ay lihis sa dakilang gawainang katotohanarsquoy wala ka talagang mararating

Ngayon kung maitatanong ko naman----- sa buhay mo

Joke of the Week Bill had a good friend who was a minister of long years standing They used to josh one another occasionally ldquoYou reverend think yoursquore so hotrdquo said Bill one day ldquoAfter all yoursquore only about 50 percent effective About half of the babies you baptize donrsquot stay Christians about half of the adults you convert donrsquot stay con-verted and about half the people you marry donrsquot stay marriedrdquo ldquoWersquore 100 percent on one pointrdquo answered his minister friend ldquoIf I were a bet-ting man Irsquod give you 1000 to1odds that all the people we bury stay buriedrdquo

Scriptures First Reading Jer-emiah 23 1-6 In Jeremiahrsquos time the people of the northern kingdom of Israel had been exiled to Assyria and the Israelites in the southern kingdom of Judah had been deported to Babylon There were lots of dev-astated lives and broken hearts The kings and leaders did not live up as true shepherds The prophet speaks of hope out of this dismal condi-tion God will raise a new shepherd who will rule with righteousness and unite Israel and Judah Sec-ond Reading Ephesians 2 13-18 Through Christ all religious barriers between Hebrews and non-Hebrews or Gentiles are now demolished Through Christrsquos redemptive work of salvation and reconciliation those who are ldquofar offrdquo and ldquonearrdquo are now brought together All have access to the Father with the Spirit

Gospel Mark 6 30-34 In the fi rst reading God renews the promise he made to his people 1) to bless hu-manity by bringing it back to a land where it can bear fruit abundantly

(an allusion to Genesis) 2) to raise a new king who shall rule his people justly and rightly (a promise made to Abraham and David) Christian view the blessing at creation story of Gen-esis and the promise of a new leader are both fulfi lled in Jesus Christ

Refl ections The Hebrew word for shepherd does not only mean a king and ruler it also connotes the notion of feeding defending caring

and providing Jeremiah denounced the shepherds of his time who cared for themselves alone and not for the fl ock that were entrusted to them From the Christian point of view Jesus Christ is the shepherd who restores hope to new Israel In turn Jesus wants his apostles to continue his shepherding mission

Reginald Fuller commented that in this Marcan passage the term ldquoapostlesrdquo was not originally a title but a function Jeremiah condemned Zedekiah and the last kings of Judah as shepherds who have misled the people These corrupt shepherds paid more attention to their own selfi sh vested interests than those of the fl ock The Marcan passage is implying that the apostles should

avoid committing the same serious mistake In Matthew 23 6-7 Jesus told his disciples ldquoThey (Scribes and Pharisees) love places of honor at banquets seats of honor in syna-gogues greetings in marketplaces and the salutation lsquoRabbirsquordquo The apostles are told not to put more emphasis on title such as ldquoapostlerdquo and less on responsibilities that come with it Instead they should put more weight on their duties and responsibilities Titles such as ldquodoctor teachers bishop reverend engineer lawyerrdquo denote functions and responsibilities But when a title gains more prominence than the re-sponsibilities that come with it title divides rather than unites people

PSYCHOLOGISTS HAVE PROPOSED THE FASCINATING CONCEPT OF THE DYAD (Greek dyacuteo ldquotwordquo) or bi-polar archetype Common functionaries such as doc-torpatient lawyerclient ministerparishioner and parents children are some archetypal roles Many of these roles are essentially linked to a partnering archetype hence the term dyad archetype To stress the supe-rior pole of the archetype doctor lawyer minister and parents over the other pole patient client parish-ioner and children breaks the dyad and negatively impacts both poles For instance a doctor who fails to recognize that there is a ldquophysi-cianrdquo in his patient breaks down the therapeutic relationship between him and his patient The same is true with a teacher who fails to see that he too is a ldquostudentrdquo who can learn from his students Ministers who forget that they too are in need of salvation treat their parishioners as inferiors Parents become domineer-ing and overbearing when they fail to learn from their children On the other hand the dyad is also broken when the inferior pole is emphasized over the superior pole When both poles recognize each otherrsquos strength and draw energies to enhance each otherrsquos well being there is true heal-ing learning ministering parenting and spirituality

We read in todayrsquos Gospel that Jesus invited his apostles to take a break from their tiresome activities Likewise we seek scenic vistas sun-ny beaches quiet and private places

to relax and unwind Leonardo da Vinci wrote ldquoEvery now and then go away have a little relaxation for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose power of judgment hellip Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be take in at a glance and lack of harmony or proportion is more readily seenrdquo Jesus mindful of his apostlesrsquo need for a breather after a hectic mission asked them to rest a while It was a rest aimed at energizing the apostles with the divine presence that would enable them to be more effective in their mission Onersquos summer vacation can also be an occasion to recharge our spiritual battery

ldquoNot without design does God write the music of our lives Be it ours to learn the time and not be discouraged at the rests If we say sadly to ourselves lsquoThere is no music in a restrsquo let us not forget there is the making of music in it The making of music is often a slow and painful process in this life How patiently God works to teach us How long He waits for us to learn the lessonrdquo (John Ruskin)

Quotation of the Week ldquoIf you keep a bow always bent it will break eventually but if you let it go slack it will be fi t for use when you want itrdquo Aesop

Spirituality in Dyadic Relationship

Spiritual Courage

Courage is connected with taking

risks Jumping the Grand Can-yon on a motorbike coming over Niagara Falls in a barrel or crossing the ocean in a rowboat are called courageous acts because people risk their lives by doing these things But none of these daredevil acts comes from the centre of our being They all come from the desire to test our physical limits and to become famous and popular

Spiritual courage is something completely different It is following the deepest desires of our hearts at the risk of losing fame and popular-ity It asks of us the willingness to lose our temporal lives in order to gain eternal life

Cayabyab lauds ABS-CBN Philharmonic

OrchestraABS CBN News | MANILA Phil-

ippines -- Acclaimed composer Ryan Cayabyab lauded the newly formed ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra which will make its fi rst major public debut at the ldquoIcons at the Arenardquo con-cert at the SM Mall of Asia Arena

Rehearsing this afternoon was a breeze The rare event on Saturday combines only the best Filipino art-ists together in the concert with the best musicians of the ABS-CBN Phil-harmonic What more can I ask for as musical director Ang ganda at ang sarap ng tugtuganrdquo said Cayabyab who is the musical director of

the all-star OPM concertCayabyab who composed OPM

classics such as Kay Ganda ng Ating Musika called the orchestra the newest most exciting addition to the top artists of the Kapamilya Network

He praised the orchestra members as arguably the best crossover musi-cians of the country who can perform all types and genres of music led by

a formidable music director Gerard Salonga

Early this year ABS-CBN and First Philippine Holdings Inc joined hands to promote an advocacy for Filipinos to connect and experience ldquorealrdquo and ldquogoodrdquo music Thus the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra was created to defy the notion that a full orches-tra is only limited to classical music

The 40-piece musical ensemble is also a fi rst in the history of ABS-CBN

ABS-CBN chairman Eugenio ldquoGabbyrdquo Lopez III stressed that the orchestra aims to provide music of the highest caliber to the general audience

ABS-CBN president Charo Santos-Concio on the other hand expressed her full support for the orchestra

and her optimism that this will be a signifi cant platform to celebrate the character and soul of Filipino music

According to ABS-CBN Philhar-monic Orchestrarsquos executive director Mickey Muntildeoz the orchestra shall also service the performance and music needs of ABS-CBN such as concerts as well as the musical scor-ing for movies

Muntildeoz also revealed that a youth orchestra is also being formed to train indigent but talented young Pinoys to play musical instruments

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada

Available at Amazoncom

(In the last chapter PMA cadet Julius Madrigal buys a bible as New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Carlo entered his room from his bath He donned on a t-shirt from his strewn clothes which he would have to pack the following day Over the shirt he pulled over a lengthwise striped sweater which made him appear taller than his five foot and a half frame He then went to the mirror and combed his still damp straight hair parting it on its left side He smiled checking his well set teeth He felt clean

Cleanliness is next to Godliness Monday after the New

Year he would be back to nearer Godliness His two weeks vacation would be over He would be back to where he would like to dedicate himself to be really next to Godli-ness

Again he would be back where everyday the brrriinnnggg brrr-riiiinnggg brrriinnnnggg wake up bell that permeates throughout the seminary walls would swirl into his eardrums and into his innermost soul jolting him to slide off the bed and be on his knees when sunrays slice through the windows of where he had confined himself to be nearer to Godliness Still in the throes of being awake his right hand flies to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Hail Mary full of gracehelliphe falls back into the abyss of nothingness but a second alarm ndash briiinnggg briiinggg brii-ingggg would bring back the swirl into his eardrums permeating into

his soul jolting him back to the re-ality that he is already on his knees Hail Mary full of gracehelliphas he said three already He would goad himself and fight against falling back into the abyss of nothingness for the umpteenth time Has he said three Hail Maries already He decides that since he had lost count he would complete three Hail Maries even if he already went over the count He would add an Our Father and a Glory Be

He gets up and staggers himself towards the exit of the dormitory towards the wash basins He passes other seminarians still in various pose of waking up on their knees or staggering out like himself The silkiness or fadedness of their paja-mas distinguishes who among them come from richer or poorer families

After freshening up he dons his white shirt and pants and black neck-tie He then marches out to join the other seminarians lining up in front of the chapel They appear like equal angels without wings Only tie clips shoes belts or brands of watches distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families

Equally mandated each one clasps his hands palms together on his chest They proceed to their assigned pews while cherubim like hymns fill the air

And the rite beginsDominus VobiscumhellipEt cum

spiritu tuohellipOra pro nobis kneelhellipsithellipstandhellipsit againhellipmostly kneel - all in sanctity to commune with the Spirit and the saints

By the offertory sanctity could be broken as Carlorsquos stomach as well as othersrsquo would growl pleading that the fangs of hunger be quelled But they have to wait though now find it hard to be in communion with the Spirit and the saints

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Finally it would be lsquoGo in peace the mass is endedrsquo

In seeking peace for their hunger they still have to be saintly tip-toe out of the chapel Their shoes then would scrape on the hallways in they dash to the dormitories in the rush to change into their school clothes

Now their over-all clothing demeanors ndash shirts pants sweaters socks shoes ndash starkly distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families Nonetheless richer or poorer they remained equal in the need to quell the fangs of hun-ger as they rush to the rectory hall

A sunny side two sausages fried rice from leftovers the night before crowd on each of the eight plates on each of the ten tables at the rec-tory The coffee would be soggy but would still be a welcome brew to enliven our breakfast which is equal for all The food they are about to receive from His bounty made them all equal except that there are also apples and juice and non soggy cof-fee at the head table where the Flem-ish rector Flemish assistant rector and Flemish principal are

Their stomachs would now really be howling gurgling clamoring for whatever they have to partake on but they all had to equally wait for the last seminarian to enter the dining hall half embarrassed half rever-ent The rector frowning for the delay would glare at the late comer before his right hand would fly to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Bless us Oh Lord in these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord Amen

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Amen

The last vestiges of reverence would now be broken as the ter-restrial need to fortify onersquos body takes precedence over the needs of the soul Chairs screech as the seminarians slide unto them Spoons and forks bang to scrape on eggs sausages and rice as they slide from the plates into munching mouths to mediate the growling gurgling stomachs

After a while Carlo would be satisfied with the egg two sausages fried rice and soggy coffee He would then have more time to often wonder why those Flemish priests also have apples juice and non soggy coffee while the seminar-ians do not Often he dismisses

the thought to just because they are already priests priests who are white because they have a different culture Nonetheless he often asks himself didnrsquot Jesus Christ share the same enliven bread and fish with his apostles

Often he would also feel guilty that having such kind of thoughts about inequality with the priests could be sacrilegious and wonders if he had to go to the con-fessional for that

Such thoughts however would vanish as he immerses himself with the day of classes ndash geometry Latin physics basketball volleyball lunch more studies ping-pong ro-sary and the long litanies and night prayers

The thoughts of inequality how-ever would invade his mind again the following day right after the br-riinnggg brrriinggg brriingggg and the regimen begins

And the regimen he would be go-ing back to made the short Christ-mas holiday break really shorter Nonetheless he had dedicated himself to the vocation and glad that no one or nothing during the vaca-tion made him feel that it was really short He had again passed the test of being out of the seminary walls with still the resolve that he would be going back for Godlinessrsquos sake

Vacations are not only respites from the sanctified isolationrsquos regimen They are tests to how one would not succumb to the calls of the human flesh in the outside world Should one not be able to resist temptations it would be better for one to fall away from the calling earlier than later after one is fully vested when the faithful would be subject to disillusionment

Nonetheless tonight Carlo would indulge in a simple call of the flesh He was ready for the dinner prepared by his mother one much better than the feasts of the priests

The MoringaMalunggay Tree with its edible leaves flowers and pods is one of most power packed nutritious trees in the world It goes by many different names drumkstick tree the Miracle tree the Never Die Tree the Miracle tree

I wrote an article on that subject here but it is also one of the most healing trees in the world All of the tree is ei-ther used for food medicine or cooking It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for hundreds of years to both prevent and treat almost 300 diseasesThe in-formation in this article is not based on double blind research but on the histori-cal and current usage of Moringa leaves flowers and pods in India and many other countries This is how the people have used it in the past and how they use it now Much of this information was observed and documented in the different health projects by physicians in their treatment of AIDS malnutrition and disease In India Ayurvedic physi-cians use it in their standard treatment protocols

How can Moringa leaves have an im-pact on so many problems Many health problems are due to poor nutrition malnutrition and imbalanced disease states which result in immune system breakdown and disease When you correct those imbalances and nutritional deficiencies with super packed nutritious food it is bound to improve health and disease states The ability for Moringa leaves flowers bark and pods to have such diverse healing effects is due to the vitamins minerals antioxidants and healing elements the tree contains

A review of Moringas power packed nutrition

Here is a nutritional breakdown of Fresh Moringa Leaves 7 times the Vitamin C of Oranges 4 times the Cal-cium of Milk 3 times the Potassium of Bananas 2 times the Protein of Yogurt 4 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and frac34 the iron of Spinach

Moringa leaves when dried become a even greater powerhouse of nutri-tion containing frac12 the Vitamin C of Oranges 17 times the Calcium of Milk 15 times the Potassium of Bananas 9 times the Protein of Yogurt 25 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and 20 times the Iron in Spinach All elements except the Vitamin C is increased when you dry the leaves under low temperatures Drying the leaves in direct sunlight decreases its nutritional values

How Moringa and Artemisia Annua Leaves benefit AIDS Patients

There are health projects going on

in Tanzania Musoma and other areas There is a real AIDS crisis in these areas In these AIDS cases the doctors have found that the combination of two herbs Moringa and Artemisia Annua improved the energy stamina and CD4 counts of the AIDS patients Some of their patients came in so weak they were not able to walk or care for them-selves They improved so dramatically that many were able to go back to work and many stayed to help the incoming patients These dramatic improvements were documented over and over again by the doctors in these health projects

How the herbs were used in the treat-ment protocols

The physicians combined dried Mor-inga Leaves with Artemisia Annua and then added one heaping teaspoonful of the powder to make a tea A liter of tea using 5 grams of the powder was given 3 times a day to the patient while the symptoms were acute Later when the patients improved it was reduced to a cup a day When you consider the super nutrition in Moringa leaves it is easy to understand how the Aids patients would improve The power packed nutrition would bolster their immune function strength stamina and ability to live a more normal active life

Moringa does NOT cure AIDS but helps the AIDS patient live longer and improves their quality of life and health Often the AIDS patient does not die from AIDS but from one of the opportunistinfections that prey on their compromised immune system

Moringa Leaves effects on blood pres-sure blood sugar breast milk produc-tion and anemia

In India the leaves are used to normalize blood pressure and to treat anxiety In 1994 a team of researchers identified a new nitride and mustard oil glycoside that demonstrated its ability to lower blood pressure

An infusion of the leaf is used to reduce sugar levels though not as ef-fectively as the standard hypoglycemia medicine

Moringa leaves mixed with honey then followed with coconut milk drunk 2 to 3 times a day is used for diarrhea dysentery and colitis

Moringa leaves have been observed and documented by doctors in the health projects to increase breast milk produc-tion and the health of nursing mothers This is due to the nutrition in the leaves especially the protein calcium and iron

Refreshing News | 7122012 -- Top experts separate the fact from myth once and for all--and reveal some surprises in the process Myth 1 Eating at Night Makes You Fat FACT If your overall calorie intake is appropriate for weight loss or maintenance it may benefit you to eat something after dinner says Joni Rampolla RD Director of Nu-trition and Wellness for Medifast

Late-night calories will ultimately get used the next day (and even while you sleep) To keep your en-ergy levels up it is better to spread your calories out during the day when your body needs fuel Aim to eat something every two or three hours This will stabilize blood sugar levels and help you feel full and energized all day

If you do need a late-night snack consider keeping it to 200 calories or less

Myth 2 Hunger is a sign you need food FACT The body commonly sends cues of hunger when it is dehydrated sleep deprived or sensing psycho-logical hunger If yoursquore not drinking enough water or getting enough sleep this alone can cause you to sense hunger even though yoursquore full Rampolla says

Myth 3 Losing weight is harder than keeping it off FACT More than 90 percent of dieters regain the weight they lost (or more) once they ldquofinishrdquo their plan Rampolla says If you resume eating the foods you ate before los-ing weight you will gain the weight back-and maybe a few extra pounds Herersquos why After weight loss your slimmer body requires fewer calo-ries to function Plus if your weight-loss plan does not include enough protein you might lose muscle mass in addition to excess fat Why thatrsquos bad Muscle burns more calories than fat does so losing muscle will lower your metabolism

Every day make a positive decision to stay on track with your new healthy lifestyle Maintaining healthy eating habits is a lifelong commitment and takes persistence Rampolla says

Myth 4 Exercise makes you tired FACT As the body gets in better shape most people feel exercising gives them more energy than before Regular exercise can also help fight fatigue improve your sleep and manage your stress says Gina Crome MS MPH RD and Top 10 FitOrbitcom trainer

Myth 5 Working out is a big time commitment FACT To main-tain a healthy weight you can work out as little as 20 to 40 minutes most days of the week If your goal is to lose weight itrsquos advised that you aim for about 45 to 60 minutes each day Crome says

The best part You donrsquot need to fit it all into one session Most of us can find five to 10 minutes to spare

at different points in the day Using these spare minutes throughout the day to be active adds up quickly and eventually becomes a regular part of your healthy lifestyle

Myth 6 Lower-body workouts will give you lean legs faster FACT The type of exercise you do does not affect the number of fat cells in a specific area Crome says Even if you do 100 abs exer- cises every day without proper nutri-tion quality sleep and a well-round- ed fitness routine you might never achieve the toned flat stomach you want You will help develop the muscles in that area but that doesnrsquot equate to fat loss

When the body loses

fat it does so

in a

sys-

temic fashion-all over the body at the same time Aside from surgical procedures such as liposuction there is no way to direct or influence the elimi-nation of fat from

specific areas Crome says Myth 7 You should

only eat carbs when yoursquore ac-tive FACT This myth is based on the belief that since carbs are the bodyrsquos preferred energy source you shouldnrsquot eat them when yoursquore inactive-like most people are in the evening However many individuals have atypical schedules or regularly exercise after work These people benefit from consuming appropri-ate amounts of carbohydrates in the evening to fuel their lifestyle says John Bosse RD and Member of the Research amp Development team for USANA Health Sciences

For someone who is sedentary in the evening a small high-protein snack such as 23 cup of full-fat cottage cheese or a protein shake can actually help you stay slim Research shows that eating high-quality protein at regular intervals promotes better body composition and since a lot of time passes between dinner

and breakfast this small snack is a smart strategic move

Myth 8 Heavy weights will make you bulky FACT Unless yoursquore taking in substances that alter your hormone profile (anabolic ste-roids) it is highly unlikely that you will gain large amounts of muscle Bosse says Doing a high number of reps (20+) using light weights and stopping each set well before the point of muscular failure certainly helps improve fitness and burn calo-ries but itrsquos not the best way to get a lean toned body What is Integrate periods of heavier training (six to 10 reps) with some sets taken to muscular failure The ability to build muscle is very different for men and women and should not be confused Bosse says

Myth 9 You should do a juice cleanse to detox FACT Our bod-ies are extremely smart and have built-in processes for detoxing every day says Kristen Carlucci RD reg-istered dietitian and nutrition expert for Pitney Bowes Inc

Yes people lose weight on juice cleanses but not because of any mir-acle ingredient or because your body is cleared of toxins that are slowing

down your metabolism Weight lost during a cleanse is most likely

a result of taking in far fewer calories than

usual While fill-ing up on fruits

and vegetables is a positive thing the problem with juice cleanses is that they are a tem-porary fix They donrsquot teach you the balanced nutrition habits you should be forming in order to lose weight and keep it off for good Carlucci says

Myth 10 Carbs are the en-emy FACT With the onset of the low-carb diet craze many people deny themselves this major food group This concept is misunder-stood because itrsquos not the carbohy-drates themselves that cause weight gain itrsquos the fact that for many of us itrsquos difficult to control the portion sizes Carlucci says

Instead of cutting out carbs alto-gether (which does not sound fun at all) focus on choosing the right carbs in the proper portions Stick with whole-grain pastas and breads (each slice should have 100 calories or less and should contain at least 3 grams of fiber) and try to fill no more than 14 of your plate with starch Limit pasta to 1 cup cooked and choose potatoes that are about the size of a computer mouse

The 10 Most Misunderstood Diet and Fitness Strategies Fatty Acid Found in Fish Prevents Age-

Related Vision Loss Study Suggests

ScienceDaily (May 30 2012) mdash An omega-3 fatty acid found in fish known as DHA prevented age-relat-ed vision loss in lab tests according to recent medical research from the University of Alberta

Yves Sauveacute a researcher in the Faculty of Medicine amp Dentistry and his team discovered that lab models fed DHA did not accumulate a toxic molecule at the back of the eyes The toxin normally builds up in the retina with age and causes vision loss

ldquoThis discovery could result in a very broad therapeutic userdquo says Sauveacute whose work was recently published in the peer-reviewed jour-nal Investigative Ophthalmology amp Visual Science

ldquoIn normal aging this toxin increases twofold as we age But in lab tests there was no increase in this toxin whatsoever This has never been demonstrated before -- that supplementing the diet with DHA could make this kind of differencerdquo

The team recently started another study looking at people who have age-related macular degeneration a condition that results in loss of central vision and is the main cause of blindness in people over the age of 50 The researchers will look for DNA markers in the blood of study participants The team wants to determine whether participants with certain genetic markers will respond better to increasing amounts of DHA in their diet and if so why

Sauveacute is a researcher in the departments of ophthalmology and physiology at the U of A

Various organizations funded the research the primary funder was the Canadian Institutes of Health Research

Courtesy of WebMD -- Who doesnrsquot enjoy a tall cool glass of juice The color is vibrant the taste sweet and itrsquos good for you too Not so fast say some dietitians Although the best kinds of juice deliver a bounty of vitamins the worst are hardly better than liquid candy WebMD helps you spot the difference

Drinking your veggies is a conve-nient way to add powerful plant-based nutrients to your diet The lycopene in tomato juice appears to lower the risk of prostate cancer Beet juice may reduce blood pres-sure Pulpy vegetable juice is also packed with fiber that can help con-trol hunger And all of these benefits come without a catch Vegetable juice has far less sugar and fewer calories than the typical fruit juice but it is high in sodium unless you choose the low salt version

Be on alert for the terms juice cocktail juice-flavored beverage or juice drink Most of these prod-ucts contain only small amounts of real juice The main ingredients are usually water and some type of sugar such as high-fructose corn syrup Nutritionally these drinks are similar to most soft drinks mdash rich in sugar and calories but low in nutri-ents Research suggests that sug-ary fruit drinks put kids at risk for obesity and related health problems The 2010 Dietary Guidelines recom-mends water over sugary drinks

If yoursquore only going to drink one glass of juice each day you want to make it a good one So letrsquos ex-plore which juices offer the biggest nutritional payoff per sip Pomegran-ate juice tops the list Itrsquos high in sugar and calories but delivers an abundant dose of antioxidants These substances appear to protect brain function and may ward off cancer In one study 8 ounces of pomegranate juice daily reduced the recurrence of prostate cancer

Cranberry juice is packed with vitamin C which is vital to a healthy immune system There is also evidence to support a folk remedy -- drinking unsweetened cranberry juice may help reduce your risk of urinary tract infections

Substances in blueberries may help keep the brain healthy In a small study researchers looked at the effect of blueberry juice on memory in adults in their seven-ties who had age-related memory decline Those who drank 2 12 cups of blueberry juice for 12 weeks had significant improvement on learning and memory tests compared to those who drank a non-juice beverage So choose blueberry juice to boost brain health

Researchers have only begun look-ing into the health benefits of acai juice which is made from a berry found in South America But early studies are promising Acai pulp appears to have a higher concentra-tion of antioxidants than cranber-ries blackberries strawberries or blueberries

Besides delivering a wealth of antioxidants some berry juices appear to have anti-inflammatory properties According to one study drinking cherry juice before and after your work-out can reduce exercise-induced muscle pain

Wersquove all heard that red wine in moderation can be good for the heart The same is true of red grape juice Red grape juice contains po-tent antioxiodants -- flavanoids and resveratrol The key is that wine and juice are made with the entire grape -- seeds skin and all When you eat fresh grapes you miss out on nutri-ents hiding in the seeds

Another viable folk remedy prune juice has long been recommended to relieve constipation It works because itrsquos extremely high in fiber and contains a natural laxative called sorbitol But the benefits of prune juice donrsquot stop there The juice is also packed with antioxidants iron and potassium

Itrsquos a staple at breakfast but does this popular juice carry its weight The good news is orange juice is loaded with vitamin C a star for its immune-boosting benefits In addition orange juice is often forti-fied with calcium and vitamin D nutrients that strengthen the bones

The brave non-violence of the

Subaanen peopleby Fr Shay Cullen PREDA

Some thousands of indigenous people all over the Philippines es-pecially in Mindanao especially the Subaanen people on the Zamboanga Peninsula have struggle for years to stop mining corporations from moving in to explore and mine the mountains and hills They are victims of corrupt government offi cials and even judges who are captivated by the vested inter-est of the mining industry

Some Indigenous people are sadly being forced to turn to armed resis-tance as the mining corporations move into their lands The Subaanen people have remained steadfastly non-violent and turned to the rule of law and trust in the constitution to protect them and their rightsBut is it enough

Hundreds of thousands of hectares of ancestral land has been threatened by the illegal and corrupt acts of some offi cials of the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Allegedly some of these offi cials are not on the side of the people in Mindanao but are for the rich and powerful mining interests and the banks that fund them

They allegedly enrich themselves by giving mining permits to companies

over ancestral lands which is forbidden by law It is at this level in the provinc-es where the anti-corruption campaign of President Aquino is weakest He has deposed a former president and a chief Justice but not yet the corrupt offi cials in Mindanao While the president is dedicated and honestly trying to clean up the stinking garbage of corrup-tion he cannot seemingly oust these entrenched offi cials the henchmen and women of powerful political families

They do not have allegiance to their department cabinet secretary or the president In fact they are ones who defy the president and are the hardest to get rid off The presidents politi-cal allies could be behind the corrupt practices that is opening the way for the illegal logging and issuance of mining permits They are pushing the president to override the provincial governments bans on open pit mining He must resist this pressure

Mining companies that get a permit to explore and mine also get a logging permit for the cutting the trees in the area alloted to them for mining This is totally destructive and is a way around the presidential ban on logging which goes on unabated Just drive through Mindanao and you will pass twenty or thirty huge trucks hauling cut logs I have seen them myself

For many years the Subaanen people and their supporters have stood peace-fully for their rights courageously and bravely to stop the local dynastic families and their cronies in the Inter-national mining industry from mining

their ancestral lands The Subaanen have been non-violent and trusted the democratic rule of law to save them

Their breakthrough cam in August 2011 when the Supreme Court of the Philippines granted a Writ of Ka-likasan (A protection of nature) to the people to protect the environment of the whole of the Zamboanga Peninsu-la A Writ of Kalikasan is a powerful legal remedy under Philippine law which provides for the protection ones right to a balanced and health-ful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature as provided for in Section 16 Article II of the Philippine Constitution It protects ones right for a healthy environment against damage of such magnitude that it threatens life health or property of inhabitants in two or more cities or provinces But the government of-fi cials are ignoring the Supreme Court order

Bishop Jiminez and three other bishops and an archbishop signed a letter to the London based sharehold-ers of the mining company RTZ-CRA trying to get the offi cials to stop the mining and logging wrote to the shareholders

In part he letter said ŠSince the company has the right to expatriate all the profi ts you the shareholders will probably earn some money However many of our people who own the lands where all the minerals are will become paupers Our rivers and seas

In travelling the countryside or while you are crossing the street driving your car taking the subway bedridden in the hospital or stuck in prison dont forget to say your Rosary every day Let the beads slip between your fi ngers they also slip between the fi n-gers of the Holy Father at the Vatican those of a grandmoth-er in Alaska a child on a hill in Rwanda a football player on a fi eld in Rio a Carthusian monk in his cell a Carmelite in her cloister or young evangelists on a mission

The Rosary is the certainly the prayer of the poor and the small the

sick and the suffering par excel-lence Yes always and everywhere not only in space but also in time The latitudes of the planet and longi-

tudes of history crisscross

The Hail Mary has moistened the lips of mil-lions of all ages races and nations How many chil-dren learned it as their fi rst prayer How many of the

dying whispered it as their ultimate testament The Hail Mary is a syn-thesis of two fi rst names Mary and Jesus

Father Daniel Ange

Never Forget to Say Your Rosary Everyday

Daily Meditation Listening With

Our Wounds To enter into solidarity with a suf-

fering person does not mean that we have to talk with that person about our own suffering Speaking about our own pain is seldom helpful for someone who is in pain A wounded healer is someone who can listen to a person in pain without having to speak about his or her own wounds When we have lived through a pain-ful depression we can listen with great attentiveness and love to a depressed friend without mentioning our experience Mostly it is better not to direct a suffering persons attention to ourselves We have to trust that our own bandaged wounds will allow us to listen to others with our whole beings That is healing

July 10 2012 Daily Meditation Text excerpts taken from Bread for the Journey by Henri JM Nouwen copy1997 HarperSanFrancisco All Scripture from The Jerusalem Bible copy1966 1967 and 1968 Darton Longman amp Todd and Doubleday amp Co Inc

Q How do you describe a luke-warm soul

A Jesus said lukewarm souls are souls who if He can only vomit out He will They are the souls He wanted to vomit out when He was in calvary Like in Geth-semane He said if it is only possible that He will not have to drink the cup He will not drink from it because these are the souls who are already in the light but decided to transfer to darkness That is why our Lord said what these souls are doing is the most hurting thing for Him

Q What makes Jesus happy

A What makes Jesus happy is if you can love your enemy Because how can you face God and beg for His mercy if you are not also merciful The truth is it is very diffi cult to love our enemy But there is a secret And the secret is fi rst of all we have to conquer our selves The truth is our num-ber one enemy is ourselves

because pride is in us hatred is in us all the negative are in us But if you are able to conquer your self if we are

able to defeat ourselves it means we do not have anymore pride no more hatred no more envy no more nega-tive and if all the negative are gone

it will be very easy to love your enemy

The truth is it is very easy to say ldquo I forgive yourdquo but it only comes from the mouth Deep inside the negatives are still in your heart and if it is not removed it will remain with you forever That is why you need to remove the negative You can only remove these if you love your enemy Because if you love your enemy ev-erytime you pray he is always included in your prayer and everytime you pray for your enemy slowly the thorn is be-ing removed and if the thorn is removed completely that will make Jesus very happy

To love an enemy means it is not necessary to like Just pray for him Do not say anything against him

a good chance that we will be able to extend this forward momentum as we anticipate better fi rst-half earnings from our listed fi rms The latest sovereign credit rating up-grade also provides additional support for future growth so overall I think we are in a terrifi c position to keep on im-provingrdquo PSE president Hans Sicat said in a press statement

Last July 5 the PSEi again beat its previous record high to post a fresh all-time high at 536998 As of July 6 the PSEi was the top performing market in Asia with a gain of 227 percent year-to-date beating bourses in Singapore Indonesia Malaysia Thailand Vietnam Hong Kong India and China among others

In the fi rst six months cyclical stocks banking and property led the PSEirsquos rise in the fi rst quarter albeit all indices were on the green

The fi nancial index emerged as the best performer in the fi rst half after surging by 346 percent to the 130442 level The fi nancial index was likewise the best performer in terms of bot-tomline based on fi rst-quarter earnings culled by the PSE

The next best performer was the property index which jumped by 301 percent to fi nish at 192748 in the fi rst half

The holding fi rms index rose by 281 percent to the 448880 level

Other indices performed as follows in the fi rst six months the industrial index rallied by 108 percent to fi nish at 783957 the services index climbed by 88 percent to 175902 -the mining and oil index crept higher by 48 percent to 2462948 points

ldquoJust like our main index investor confi dence in Philippines Inc is at an all-time high Whatrsquos remarkable is that we have been able to achieve unprec-edented growth even in the midst of ongoing uncertainties in the Western hemisphere and a cooling Chinese economy This is a testament to the effectiveness of the reforms that the country has undertaken which further contributed to the stable macroeconomic environmentrdquo Sicat said

The PSEirsquos fi nish in the fi rst six months was higher by 95520 points from its previous close of 429121 in the same period last year

The combined market capitalization of issues listed on the PSE during the January to June period stood at P1005 trillion up by 128 percent from a year ago

Total turnover for the fi rst half reached P94773 billion or 432 percent higher than the P66181 billion registered in the same period the previous year Average daily turnover stood at P764 billion an increase of 455 percent year-on-year

In spite of the challenging fundraising environment APCF was successful at raising more than $150000 that was dis-tributed among its 29 Affi liate Agencies which provide health and human ser-vices to Asian and Pacifi c Islander (API) and other ethnic communities in need throughout Los Angeles County The mission of APCF is to build healthier and stronger API communities working with its affi liates corporate and commu-nity partners and individuals to generate resources for this often overlooked and under-served population

In addition special grant presentations were made by Verizon and Walmart totaling $100000 For the second year Verizon is funding APCFrsquos scholarship program for students pursuing higher education in the science technology engineering and math related fi elds In a time when students are faced with signifi cantly rising costs of obtaining a college degree it is important that there is support for these students in the Asian and Pacifi c Islander communities A total of $25000 in scholarship awards will be given out in 2012

ldquoVerizonrsquos partnership with the Asian Pacifi c Community Fund is creating op-portunities for young people to succeed and pursue their dreams here in Califor-nia and across the countryrdquo said Gene

Shooting StarPoem No 9

I wish I was a shooting star streaking through the night sky

Being here and there in brief fl ash of light

And really nowhere to be found

Me in your life being caught in your universe

Running around in circles ever nearing your space

Seeking the face by which I am doomed to certain death

Like a fl ash like a bang I am nowhere to be found

Me in your life caught in your universe streaking aimlessly

towards destruction envying the celestial dance between Moon

and Sun Sun and earth earth and heaven seeking freedom

from my desolated journey in you I found destruction through

my destruction I found my freedom

copy 2009 Michael R Tagudin

While the Philippines had been politically freed from the tyrants of the 19th and 20th Centuries it is still not economically free Poverty hunger and corruption remain prevalent

Overseas Filipinos now heralded as modern day heroes have kept the country economically afl oat for years because of their money remittances

The ldquoWalang Corrupt Walang Mahi-raprdquo policy of the current government seems to be working Many Filipinos abroad support it and are quite optimis-tic about the countryrsquos future

Now accorded with easier faster and more affordable accessible and avail-able forms of communication Filipinos are asserting their rights and want more say in the way their country is governed

Lt Donald Ordinario Radiation Health Offi cer US Naval Hospital (USNH) Yokosuka has been award-ed the Capt Ernest W Brown award by the Navy and Marine occupation-al health preventive medicine andor health promotion for 2011

Ordinario created the only Navy dosimetry program that manages multiple afl oat and ashore command programs from one location and the fi rst overseas dosimetry hub for Department of Defense personnel in Japan The program monitored personnel for external radiation exposure while working in support of Operation Tomadachi

Ordinario said ldquoLooking at the big

picture we were a small part of the overall Operation Tomadachi mis-sion but since external dosimetry was required for all personnel enter-ing the radiological warm zone for humanitarian assistance the USNH Yokosuka radiation health team took on the monumental challenge of en-suring personnel were appropriately monitoredrdquo

Ordinario was aided by a team of radiation health staff which included deployed technicians deployed from stateside commands to support Op-eration Tomadachi ldquoThe augmented staff from different Navy Medicine Commands was vital part of being able to carry out our missionrdquo said Ordinario ldquoBeing recognized for the efforts the radiation health team did during Operation Tomadachi

is an honor and a testament to the hard work that was put in by all involvedrdquo

The Capt Ernest W Brown award established in 1986 is presented in memory of the late Capt Ernest ldquoEWrdquo Brown and recognizes an individual for excellence in Navy Occupational Health Preventive Medicine andor Health Promo-tion programs at the activity level Brown was a renowned researcher in the fi eld of biochemical warfare submarine medicine and occupa-tional medicine In 1941 he suc-cessfully implemented the ambitious industrial hygiene and forerunner of our Navy program today -- Re-printed from Seahawk Umitaka (submitted by Daughlet Ordinario of San Diego CA)

Seaoil karter Gabriel Cabrera along with fellow Filipino Flynn Jackes fi nally ended the half a decade title drought for the Philippines in the Mini-ROK class of the Asian Karting Open Championshipsrsquo opening leg at the Kartodromo de Coloane in Macau The 5-leg international race series is regarded as the most prestigious karting tilt in Asia

Racing abroad for the fi rst time 12 year old Cabrera topped the time trials at 103674 despite the absence of a coach and with only his chief mechanic Joesefi lo Bariquit in tow

The Philippines enjoyed a momentous 1-2-3 moment at the time trials with Cabrera grabbing pole position followed by Xedrei Daquigan in second and Flynn Jackes in third

Enduring an abdomen injury incurred from a crash during the fi nals warm-up Cabrera nevertheless decided to continue to race in the fi nals Surging to 2nd place from 5th in the fi nal grid the excruciating pain however led Cabrera to slip to 4th place by the end of the race

Although bowing to Jackes for the top spot Cabrerarsquos admirable show of resilience and perseverance endeared him to fans and foes alike who knew of his injury In true AKOC camaraderie Cabrera even found an unlikely ally in Taiwanese rival Lin Tsen Han who along with his crew immediately as-

sisted Cabrera as he fi nally collapsed in pain at the weigh-in area

ldquoThere is no such thing as a broken spirit only broken bones But not even that can stop a Filipino karterrsquos will to winrdquo says Cabrera as he was whisked off to the Kiang Wu Hospital to receive emergency medical treatment

He eventually was stable enough to return to the track a few hours later in time to receive his 3rd runner-up trophy at the awarding ceremonies Cabrera is the son of Los Angeles-based business-man Richard Cabrera and is slated to compete in the seriesrsquo second leg later this month in Manila

Cabrera Win Hearts In Asian Karting

Chief mechanic Joesefi le Bariquit and Gabriel Cabrera with kart-ing trophy at the Asian Karting Open Championship during opening leg in Macau China

by Steven Buller KIvaorgAccording to a recent article in Ma-

laya Business Insight a Filipino news-paper there were 9050 bank facilities operating in the Philippines at the end of 2011 At the same time there were 15600 pawnshops and 9500 licensed

money changers that were licensed to provide fi nancial services such as remittance transactions and bill pay-ments

The Philippines are fragmented by nature The country has 7000 islands 2000 of which are inhabited Since most banks are in urban areas reaching clients on the smaller remote islands can be extremely diffi cult and costly In a country where the savings rate is abysmal many people depend on credit for everyday expenses Non-bank facilities like pawnshops which are regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (or BSP the Philippines central bank) fi ll this gap

The BSP is currently considering allowing convenience stores or ldquosari-sari shopsrdquo to become banking agents as well They would be allowed to offer a variety of services including handling remittance transactions As nearly one out of 10 Filipinos lives and works abroad remittance transactions represent a huge portion of demand for fi nancial services In fact the Philip-

pines is one of the top fi ve recipients of remittances globally receiving about USD$19 billion annually

While this informal part of the banking sector certainly promotes fi nancial inclusion the BSP has made efforts to formalize the industry In 2010 it passed an amendment to certain banking regulations allowing for banks to establish microbanking offi ces (ldquoMBOsrdquo) MBOs are much smaller and cheaper to set up than bank branches They also offer a wider range of services that are important to Filipinos including microinsurance electronic money transfers social secu-rity payouts and savings products

TFC brings RPrsquos current top screen moneymaker to 10

cities in the US

REDWOOD CITY CA July 12 2012 ndash When what seemed like an obscure little comedy fi lm starring an erstwhile perennial supporting ac-tress made a killing in the box offi ce back in 2009 grossing P80 million in six weeks the fi lm industry of the Philippines hailed the arrival of new comedy royalty in the person of Eugene Domingo

The fi lm was Kimmy Dora Kam-bal Sa Kiyeme which told the story of twins one smart and domineer-ing (Kimmy) the other slow and pure-hearted (Dora) both played by Domingo in a comic tour de force performance The latter appeared to

be the favored one of their beloved rich father Luisito Go Dong Hae (Ariel Ureta) and his handsome senior manager Johnson (Dingdong Dantes) which led to jealousy and a comedy of errors that resulted from an unintended kidnapping plot It had a happy ending though with the sisters realizing their love for each other and Kimmy fi nding a man for herself in six-packed farmer Barry (Zanjoe Marudo)

The fi lm was acclaimed for the in-credible energy and commitment of the cast led by Domingo in making the zaniest characters believable and relatable And then of course all of them were game to make serious fun of themselves including Domingo as Kimmy standing before a sexy but disinterested Dantes as Johnson

in a swimming pool delivering a hi-larious naughty spin on the famous quote from the movie Notting Hill ldquoIrsquom just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love herrdquo A clas-sic comic screen moment But this should be surpassed by the much-talked about borderline scandalous absolutely hilarious kissing scene in the sequel between the characters of Kimmy and true love Barry

Riding on the success of the original Kimmy Dora the tandem of director Joyce Bernal and writer Chris Martinez created a sequel with new twists and turns Titled Kimmy Dora amp The Temple of Kiyeme Bernal and Martinez collided humor with horror in a plot that takes the sisters to a discovery of an old family secret and a trip to South Korea to confront a vengeful spirit and reawaken the three men in the sistersrsquo lives who all have mysteri-ously fallen to sleep Be ready for unexpected characters and a thrilling ride watching the sequel

The new concept apparently worked Kimmy Dora amp The Temple of Kiyeme became only the second Filipino fi lm in 2012 so far to surpass P100 million in the box offi ce reaching almost P117 million in three weeks placing second only to The Amazing Spider-Man in the Philippines

ldquoSummer in the US is still fun and fantasy and without any doubt Kimmy Dora amp The Temple of Ki-yeme will give these to our audience in large dosesrdquo said Jun Del Rosa-rio TFC Head of Cable amp satellite Distribution and North America Marketing Strategist ldquoWe want to make sure that moviegoers here en-joy the breadth of the Filipino movie experience in US theatres so we will continue to offer quality fi lms with diverse themes for the familyrdquo

100-Day Countdown to Canonization of Filipino from Cebu

By Zena Sultana Babao Contrary to popular belief the

church is not a building It is an as-sembly of people

When Jesus said ldquoI will build my church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against itrdquo Jesus was saying that the Church ndash His chosen people ndash would not die out It would be alive a warm and caring body of believers striving to serve God do His work and support each other

Before Christ came to earth God called only a few people out of their societies to serve Him and further His work Many of them are mentioned in Hebrews 11 a chapter in the Bible we could call the ldquoFaith Hall of Famerdquo

Even as Jesus called and worked through individual leaders and prophets to do spiritual work God established a physical nation to help fulfi ll His plan This nation the descendants of Abraham through his grandson Jacob (renamed Israel by God) was also known as Godrsquos church

God had a plan for Abraham In His mission to extend His love to all humanity God chose a man who was faithful and obedient to serve as a physical and spiritual role model Abraham set an example of obedi-ence in leaving his home country at Godrsquos command not even know-ing his destination He believed God would fulfi ll His promises in spite of the seeming impossibilities involved

Those who were called and chosen for a relationship with God in the past present and future are Abra-hamrsquo spiritual descendants but God also worked through Abrahamrsquos physical descendants One of the re-sponsibilities God gave to the physi-cal nation of Israel was to represent Him to show by example that Godrsquos way works

However we read in the Bible that not only did Israel fail to set a good example for its neighboring nations but the Israelites also broke their agreement with God and even caused Godrsquos name to be blas-phemed They didnrsquot have the heart needed to fully accomplish Godrsquos will and they resisted the Holy Spirit as does all mankind without the special calling of God

But God has a plan to make a new heart available to us all and to write His laws in our mind As a result of Christrsquos sacrifi ce Godrsquos Spirit is

The Church that Christ Builtnow available to individuals of any nation or race who genuinely repent and accept Jesus Christ as their Sav-ior and Lord Godrsquos ultimate pur-pose is salvation for all people both Israelite and gentile (non-Israelite)

And here enters the next step in Godrsquos plan ndash the founding of the Church

With the coming of the promised Messiah ndash Jesus Christ of Nazareth ndash the stage was set for a new phase in Godrsquos plan of salvation This phase involves God working through a group of people ndash the Church ndash who are spiritually transformed by the Holy Spirit God chose them not only to receive salvation but to carry out Godrsquos work for the ulti-mate benefi t of all humanity

By calling and training His dis-ciples Jesus prepared them to be His apostles (messengers) and a major part of the foundation of the Church The writings of the apostles continue to teach and support the Church as do the writings of the prophets in the Old Testament who are also part of the Churchrsquos foundation

Miraculous signs marked the beginning of the New Testament Church and Godrsquos giving of the Holy Spirit God wanted to draw at-tention to this event to call a sizable initial base from which the Church would expand into the world

ldquoSo then those who are in the fl esh cannot please God But you are not in the fl esh but in the Spirit if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ he is not His (Romans 88-9)

Without Godrsquos Spirit we are not Christrsquos Yet the Church is described as belonging to Christ ndash it is His Body and Bride ndash a spiritually trans-formed people The Spirit makes that change possible

God called many to repentance and the disciples baptized many The Church grew rapidly in the be-ginning with excitement and fervor evident in the Churchrsquos early history The book of Acts reports on later times of persecution and scattering as well as the growth of individual congregations throughout the Roman Empire as the apostles spread the gospel

Jesus predicted His fl ock would remain small and beleaguered down through history False prophets would even arise within the Church

There is no vaccine or specifi c treatment for hantavirus and the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report the disease has killed 36 percent of all the people known to have contracted it

The best way to prevent the dis-ease is to keep mice out of houses garages and sheds

How to Avoid Exposure

Eliminate rodent infestations im-mediately

Avoid rodent-infested areas and do not stir up dust or materials that may be contaminated with rodent drop-pings and urine

Clean up rodent droppings and urine using the wet cleaning method described below

Use ldquowet-cleaningrdquo methods to prevent inhaling the virus

DO NOT SWEEP OR VACUUM INFESTED AREAS

Ventilate affected area by opening doors and windows for at least 30 minutes

Use rubber gloves Spray a 10 per-cent bleach solution (2 tablespoons bleach to 1 cup of water) onto dead rodents rodent droppings nests contaminated traps and surround-ing areas and let the disinfectant stand for at least 15 minutes before cleaning

Clean with a sponge or a mop Place disinfected rodents and debris into two plastic bags seal them and discard in the trash

Wash gloves in a bleach solution then soap and water and dispose of them using the same double-bag method

Thoroughly wash your bare hands with soap and water

I remember reading a pamphlet of Opus Dei a religious group about work It advised that whatever your job is no matter how insignifi cant or menial it may be you must value it You must sanctify your work by doing a perfect job then offering it to God For instance if you are a janitor assigned to clean a toilet you must make it spic and span Clean it so well that you would not mind sleeping in it Then offer your perfect job to God For God is perfection He will be pleased and you will get fulfi llment and pride in your work no matter how lowly it may appear

Once you have a job save money to support yourself to college Go to a technical school fi rst During our time we have vocational courses here at Arellano Students learned to repair cars radios and televisions and learn bookkeeping Learn a skill like automotive cooking or computer work This will help you get a better job with better pay until you save enough to go to college at night while working during the day Or you can work and save money so that you can go into business Remember Lydiarsquos Lechon Jonirsquos Bakeshop They started small Just a one-table food stand Now they are big corporations You can do the same There are count-less examples If they can do it you can do it too

Once you have a steady career you can work hard and play hard

Imagine after high school you girls did not go to college What kind of jobs can you get Salesgirls earning

a few pesos I was told salesgirls in department stores are earning only below the minimum wage Kaya marami sila nakatayo lang na parang mga manikin Thatrsquos is why there are a lot of them standing like manne-quins With their very low pay the department store owners can afford to hire all of them Hundreds of them Siguro libre ang make-up Maybe the makeup is free for I notice that all of them are wearing some Without a college diploma you might end up as a domestic help Or worse Do you want your life to be like that

Some girls are determined to get married after high school hoping their husbands would support them They dream of staying home taking care of the house and the kids and living happily ever after Do you think that is possible Look around Almost all the girls who did so are as poor as rats desperate to survive as any uneducated jobless girl can be Why Because it is beyond logic It is not realistically possible It is a dream It is a fantasy To marry early and live happily ever after is a fairy tale Hindi mo makakain ang pag-ibig You cannot eat love our parents use to say Ang pag-aasawa ay hindi parang mainit na kanin na isusubo at iluluwa pag napaso ldquoMarriage is not a hot rice that is put in the mouth only to be spat out if one gets burnedrdquo so said an old Filipino saying Okay there might be one or two lucky enough to marry well and be sup-ported by their husbands But are they happy Being dependent on some-body else Many women who married irresponsible husbands or those with little education end up sacrifi cing for

their children They end up as bread-winners with no time for themselves But why leave your future to chance Why not take control of your life yourself and carve your own bright future Why not Believe you me there is nothing better than support-ing yourself instead of depending on other people

Of course at this period of your puberty you may fall in love Falling in love at a time when you clearly cannot afford to settle down and raise a family can be confl icting This is one trial every young man and woman had to pass through Like a rite of passage One must resist temp-tations curb onersquos passion control onersquos hormones and keep onersquos eyes on the prize - of fi nishing college and launching a career During our time we had classmates who eloped in their teens Some lived poor others got separated Donrsquot miss out on be-ing a bachelor or bachelorette Enjoy the bliss of singlehood You will be shortchanging yourself denying yourself of much greater happiness if you succumb to your feelings prematurely Those feelings will pass will fade away until you realize that being heartbroken at this point in your life is the best thing that could happen to you Better to focus on your career for now

We accompanied our youngest daughter on a campus tour of a uni-versity in Washington DC The tour guide aside from explaining all the advantages of going to that school told the prospective students ldquoIf you have a boyfriend or girlfriend you are leaving behind in high school or in your hometown I am telling you now to forget them No matter how much or how passionately you love them now For after a semester in this school you will not even think that they ever existedrdquo

Crushes come and go You will experience many of them True love will come your way without you even looking for it God will introduce you to the love of your life your lifetime mate the mother or father of our chil-dren without even you looking for him or her Just focus on your studies have fun going out with your friends boys andor girls and enjoy your youth Donrsquot shortchange yourself by

being happy at fi rst by marrying early only to feel sorry the rest of your life

One way of earning a scholarship to college is by joining the school band which I hear we have This is another avenue you should consider explor-ing

Of course there are those among you lucky to have parents to support you through college Value that great opportunity Donrsquot take it for granted Having a parental support however is not a guarantee for success It de-pends on the attitude of an individual

When I was in college a cousin of mine was brought to our house from the province by his mother She requested we let her son stay in our house so that he could go to college They could not afford a dorm for him to stay My mom agreed out of the goodness of heart That cousin of mine Ely stayed with me in my room I would sleep in my bed while he slept on the fl oor Eventually he moved to my fatherrsquos printing busi-ness in Quiapo for it was walking distance to his school He wanted to become an engineer and he had the intellectual IQ to tackle and succeed in the course A year later his younger brother Mario joined him Mario took up commerce at the Polytechnic University in Manila The brothers lived in the mezzanine fl oor of the printing press rent free Later Ely had a girlfriend They went out on dates despite the limited allowance his farmer father was sending him His girlfriend got pregnant and Ely was forced to quit school and go back to their barrio Mario soon graduated and was recommended for a job at the Central Bank of the Philippines by one of his professors During one of our family gatherings in the province Mario came driving his brand new car He made it big and transformed himself from being a naiumlve barrio boy into a successful bank executive His elder brother Ely the would-be engineer was there too No he did not come in a brand new car He came driving a tricycle which he used in plying his trade as a tricycle driver Given an opportunity you must grab it by the horns Donrsquot let it go until you cross the fi nish line

(To be continued)

Followed by another comment ldquoDo we now have in you a Dr Rizal of the 21st century I BELIEVE SOrdquo

I responded with the following ldquoDanny thanks for your comments and great COMPLIMENT I have been compared to some famous men before but Dr Jose Rizal Coming from you I am taking it as a real compliment Though this reminds me of San Beda Prof Regalado (who obtained the high-est grade in Bar exams history) when he told us ldquoA praise undeserved is a slan-der in disguiserdquo Being abroad and still concerned about the Philippines there is really a Rizal in all of us It is not unlike the Propaganda Movement in Madrid Spain crying for reforms during his and Lopez Jaenarsquos time So thank you again for the complimentrdquoDuring the darkest hours of Martial Law when the Philippines was gov-erned by a dictator named Ferdinand Marcos there were also efforts abroad by both Filipino-Americans and exiled Filipinos to expose the atrocities and abuses of the dictatorial regime Like the La Solidaridad during the time of Rizal there were also publications ar-ticles and books written to infl uence and advocate changes in US policies that favored or supported dictatorial regimes The targets for these advocacies and lobbying efforts were the US Congress the White House and the US State Department

One active organization leading the propaganda efforts was the Movement for a Free Philippines (MFP) led by Raul S Manglapus and later joined by Ninoy Aquino who was imprisoned by Marcos for several years We all know what happened to Aquino at the airport in Manila while under the ldquocarerdquo of Marcos soldiers Like Rizal he also died for the Philippine cause

What also impressed me during those years was the involvement of real Filipino doctors like Rizal They cam-paigned funded and led without fear until the US administration reversed its policies and supported the Fili-pino peoplersquos desire to recapture their freedom and dignity through the People Power Revolution

So you wonrsquot go to college because you are poor - Part 2

Follow Asian Journal on Twitter asianjournal

I have traveled to several places in Asia South America Europe and North America as a student business executive and lawyer

For sometime now my wife and I have been receiving invitations to join my sister and her husband on a cruise that is usually coupled with land tours

We never got around to accepting fi rst because the cruises were too long (two weeks or more) and second the cities involved in the land tours were places we had already visited

But last month we accepted the invita-tion because the cruise was only 7 days with an additional 3 nights in Madrid Spain

I have never been to Madrid I have always wanted to see envision and trace the movements of Jose Rizal and the other members of the Propaganda Movement during a very important period in our history

I was always interested in drawing parallelisms between and among the propagandists in the 19th Century led by the likes of Jose Rizal Lopez Jaena del Pilar and other members of the Propa-ganda Movement who operated in Ma-drid those in the 20th Century such as the members of Anti-Marcos groups led by Raul Manglapus and Ninoy Aquino who operated in Washington DC and todayrsquos bloggers columnists Twitters Facebook status updaters commentators and other opinion-makers of both the main media and social networks in this 21st Century

When I wrote an article entitled ldquoOld 4Gs to New 4Gs Gaining Groundrdquo It elicited a reaction from Danny Be-navente a resident of Southern Califor-nia but born and raised in my hometown of Rosales Pangasinan Philippines

He said ldquoBrilliant Just plain bril-liant This one can resonate to as far and to the highest public offi ce in the PIrdquo

Four Keys of Life

Irsquom like most people throughout the world someone whose life has been impacted in one way or another by breast cancer In my case mem-bers of my family have dealt with it plus my sister passed away from it a few years ago There are numerous great organizations helping people and ldquoSusan G Komen for the Cure is the global leader of the breast cancer movement boasting the worldrsquos largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activ-

ists The organization has included ldquoThe Four Keys of Liferdquo to their education literature to encourage and promote breast self-awareness

The four keys1 Talk to your family There is

still hesitancy in many families to talk about personal health issues especially where ldquofemale cancersrdquo such as breast endometrial and ovarian cancer are concerned But studies have connected shared genetic components between breast cancer and other cancers that may be useful in understanding your risk

of contracting the disease Providing your doctor with your family health history may lead to a better under-standing of your personal risk

2 Get screened Your doctor will determine what screening tests are right for you For women of ldquoaverage riskrdquo clinical breast exams should begin at age 20 and be repeated every three years Annual mammograms should begin at age 40 For higher risk women addi-tional screenings such as an MRI may be recommended by your health care provider

3 Know what is normal for you Any visible or palpable changes to your breasts should be reported to your doctor These changes include a lump hard knot or thickening swelling warmth redness or darken-ing a change in the size or shape of the breast dimpling or puckering of the skin itchy scaly sore or rash on the nipple pulling in of the nipple or other part of the breast nipple discharge that starts suddenly new pain in one spot that does not go away How to perform a Breast Self-Examination (BSE) can be found at wwwkomenorgbse

4 Make healthy lifestyle choices Studies and scientifi c literature purport that maintaining a healthy weight adding exercise to your rou-tine and limiting alcohol intake may all reduce the risk of breast cancer

HistorySusan G Komen fought breast

cancer with her heart body and soul Throughout her diagnosis treatments and endless days in the hospital she spent her time thinking of ways to make life better for other women battling breast cancer instead of worrying about her own situation Moved by Susanrsquos compassion for others and commitment to mak-ing a difference Nancy G Brinker promised her sister that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer Though Susan lost her battle with the disease her legacy lives on through the work of Susan G Ko-men for the Curereg the organization Nancy started in her honor Komen for the Cure is the global leader of the breast cancer movement having invested more than $1 billion since its inception in 1982 Komenrsquos promise is to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empower-ing people ensuring quality care for

all and energizing science to fi nd the cures

In San Diego Since 1995 In 1995 a group of passionate

committed health educators and breast cancer survivors did more than just imagine They acted by founding the San Diego Affi liate of Susan G Komen for the Cure Since its inception in 1995 Komen for the Cure San Diego has awarded grants totaling more than $85 million dollars to local organizations that have made valuable contributions to breast cancer diagnostics treatment education screening and patient support Through events and dona-tions Susan G Komen for the Cure is able to bring funding and hope to the fi ght against breast cancer Each year the Komen Race for the Cure and the Breast Cancer 3- Dayreg raise signifi cant funds and awareness for breast cancer celebrating breast cancer survivorship and honoring those who have lost their battle with the disease With pledges from these events and donations throughout the year strides are being made to continue the quest for a cure

Each year 75 percent of proceeds are awarded through a grant process to local organizations Each grantee conducts a program that offers breast cancer education screening or treat-ment to residents in the San Diego area

The remaining 25 percent is directed to the Susan G Komen for the Cure National Grant Program to fund research on a national and in-ternational level Since the Affi liatersquos inception in 1995 nearly $7 million has been given to local organizations that provide breast cancer education screening diagnostics treatment and patient support for the uninsured or underinsured in San Diego County

Change the system Be the solution You can be the difference You can

help end breast cancer forever The Komen Champions for the Curereg advocacy program is focused on educating Congress federal offi cials state legislators and other policy makers about breast cancer through community involvement Komen Champions for the Cure was in-spired by the commitment and force of Komen volunteers who want to join the fi ght

From breast cancer research to early detection and quality care Ko-men Champions for the Cure aims to

infl uence the federal government on crucial breast cancer issues by con-tacting Members of Congress By challenging candidates and those in public offi ce to make breast cancer a priority you can change the system and you can be the solution to breast cancer

Exercise May Reduce Risk of Breast Cancer

Being physically active is one of the best things you can do for your health Exercise may help lower your risk of developing or dying from breast cancer

The Church that Christ built

(Continued from page 4)

dividing and diluting its message These prophecies indeed came to pass False teachers introduced a host of different doctrines and practices in the church The Bible shows that Satan the being ultimately behind this counterfeit Christianity has deceived the whole world and that Satanrsquos ministers usually appear as ministers of righteousness

Satanrsquos inroads into the Church were so rampant at this stage near the end of the First Century that true Chris-

tians were actually excommunicated from some congregations

Although Satan has repeatedly at-tacked and tried to destroy it the Church has not died out Though the details have often been hard to fi nd in history Godrsquos Church created by Jesus Christ has survived the worst persecutions of the Roman Empire and the Dark Ages as well as the attacks of more recent times

Somewhere on earth members of the small fl ock have always continued to serve God to the best of their under-standing and ability Today the Church that Christ built continues as a small but active and faithful body striving to spread Godrsquos good news in a faithless world ndash zenasultanahotmailcom

IMMIGRATION 911 By Atty Susan V Perez

While there is a shortage for nurses in the United States there is still no indication when USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) will resume issuing immigrant visas to fi ll the void There are many skilled and experienced foreign nurses in the United States who are looking for jobs in vari-ous hospitals and healthcare facilities Hospitals and health care facilities want to utilize their skills and services but there arenrsquot immigrant visas available because of the retrogression Irsquove talked to Filipino registered nurses who have been waiting for the immigrant visa for a long time and are willing to take nonimmigrant visas

THE H-1B NONIMMIGRANT VISAThe H-1B program allows employers

to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise in a specialized fi eld and a bachelorrsquos degree or its equivalent Typical H-1B occupations include architects engineers computer programmers accountants doctors and college professors Certain specialty occupations in the nursing industry may qualify for H-1B nonimmigrant status Specifi cally a narrow group of nurses holding a baccalaureate or higher degree (or equivalency) in nursing that includes advanced practice nurses (such as Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS) Nurse Practitioners (NP) Certifi ed Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA) and Certifi ed Nurse-Midwives (CNM)) nurse managers and nursing adminis-trators may qualify for H-1B status According to USCIS data the issuance of H-1B visas for specialty occupation nurses varies greatly from year to year In recent history the greatest number of H-1B nurse visas issued in any given fi scal year was only 136 The H-1B visa for specialty occupation nurses is avail-able to qualifi ed nurses from all foreign countries However the limited scope of eligible specialty occupations greatly narrows the potential use of the H-1B to fi ll US nursing job vacancies For instance many RNs may not qualify for an H-1B because employers and state licensing boards do not usually require a BSN to perform services as a registered nurse On June 11 2012 the H-1B cap has been reached and USCIS stopped accepting applications for H-1B The next H-1B season will be open on April 1 2013

THE H-1C NONIMMIGRANT VISAThe H-1C nonimmigrant classifi ca-

tion enables foreign nurses to perform services as a registered nurse in a US health professional shortage area as determined by the US Department of Labor To qualify for an H-1C visa both the employer and employee must meet certain eligibility criteria The US employer must 1) be a ldquosubsection (d)rdquo hospital under the Social Security Act 2) be located in a ldquoHealth Profes-sional Shortage Areardquo 3) have at least 190 acute care beds 4) have a Medicare population of no less than 35 5) have a Medicaid population of less than 28 and 5) be certifi ed by the Department of Labor

Since the H1-C nonimmigrant visa program sunset on December 20 2009 visas for hundreds of nurses have expired or will expire soon leaving H-1C authorized healthcare employers struggling to provide much-needed pro-fessional nursing care with a dwindling nursing staff HR 1933 is currently pending before the US Senate Judiciary

Committee which would reauthorize the H-1C nonimmigrant visa program Ac-cording to recent information provided by this committee HR 1933 remains on its agenda but is not yet scheduled for a Senate vote As drafted the bill will reauthorize the availability of 300 H-1C visas for an initial validity period of three years with the opportunity to renew H-1C status for an additional three years There is however no guar-antee that HR 1933 will be approved and become a law

THE H-3 TRAINEE VISAThe H-3 visa is a rarely used option

available to temporary workers includ-ing nurses The primary purpose of this visa is to enable the foreign nurse to receive training and not to provide productive employment unless such employment is incidental and necessary to the training It is better than the F-1 or student visa because they get paid during the training

The H-3 trainee has been defi ned by the Code of Federal Regulations as ldquoa nonimmigrant who seeks to enter the United States at the invitation of an individual or organization for the purposes of receiving training in any fi eld of endeavor such as agriculture commerce communications fi nance government transportation as well as training in a purely industrial establish-mentrdquo1 Physicians are not eligible to apply under this category but nurses are For nurses the basic requirements are 1) the proposed training is unavailable in the home country 2) the training is designed to benefi t the applicant in pur-suing her career in the home country 3) the nurse has passed the licensure exam in the country where she obtained her nursing education and 4) a statement from the petitioning employer that the applicant is fully qualifi ed to engage in the training

It is important that the employer dem-onstrate that the trainee will be returning to another country to use the skills he or she gained in the United States At the interview the applicant nurse must show that he or she will not abandon residence in a foreign country and that he or she intends to depart the United States at the end of the training program Therefore the H-3 petition may be denied if the applicant nurse has a certifi ed perma-nent labor certifi cation or has an I-140 Immigrant Petition fi led by the same employer on his or her behalf

The training program should not be longer than two (2) years There will be no extension change of status or re-admission to H or L status granted after two (2) years unless the alien resided and is physically present outside the United States for six (6) months This is not too bad compared to the J-1 trainee

who is required to stay in his or her home country for two years Spouses and children of the H-3 visa holder are eligible for H-4 dependent status

H-3 visa holders are given social security numbers and will be paid while undergoing the training However they should not be receiving as much as the regular employees because this can be perceived as displacing the US citizens

Philippine Star | Manila Philippines 792012 - The province of Bohol is out to reclaim its post as the top tourist destination in the country

This is the newfound vision of the government of Bohol which recently launched its newest tourism campaign mdash dubbed ldquoBohol Heart of the Islands Truly Philippinesrdquo mdash in partnership with Philippine Bohol Arts Foundation Institute (PABFI) and the provincersquos tourism stakeholders

Aimed at immensely boosting local and foreign tourist arrivals and making the province the countryrsquos preferred travel desti-nation the campaign showcases Boholrsquos rich cultural and historical heritage highlighting its rich eco-cultural value beyond the Chocolate Hills and the diminutive tarsiers the worldrsquos smallest primate

ldquoOther than the usual sites that are being promoted here the Loboc River the Chocolate Hills the tarsi-ers and the white sand beaches of Panglao there is more to discover in Bohol that will make a greater tourism impact not only for the province but also in relation to the Philippine context of promoting the countryrdquo said Bohol Governor Edgar Migrintildeo Chatto

The event held at the Centennial Hall in Manila Hotel gathered key public offi cials and tourism leaders

More Fun in the Philippines Bohol rolls out new tourism campaignincluding Manila Hotel president and former senator Joey Lina Philippine Tour Operators As-sociation (PHILTOA) president Cesar Cruz and Tourism Secre-tary Ramon Jimenez Jr

Others who graced the event were prominent travel program personalities Susan Calo Medina and Cory Quirino PBAFI execu-tive director Ria Cauton Tigum Bol-anon Tibuok Kalibutan (TBTK) president Betty Garcia Bohol Provincial Council chair Lucas Nunag board members of the province of Bohol and Amor Maclang director for PR and Communications of GeiserMa-

Bohol Governor Edgar Chatto and De-partment of Tourism Secretary Ramon Jime-nez shake hands during the unveiling of the Bohol campaign Bohol Heart of the Islands Truly Philippines

clang Marketing Communications Inc (GMCI) who later presented the marketing framework of the campaign

Located in Central Visayas Bohol literally sits in the heart of the Philippine archi-pelago Boasting diving sites revered as among the best worldwide the province is home to a number of natural wonders such as mdash aside from the Chocolate Hills mdash the biggest mangrove planta-tion in Asia and the Dajanon Bank the lone double-barrier reef in the region and one of

only six such marine structures in the world

Chocolate Hills do turn green during the rainy season

Apart from its diverse marine and terrestrial life and picturesque land-scapes a unique element that makes Bohol a truly quintessential Filipino destination is the great display of the remarkable and lively dynam-ics between the Filipinosrsquo inherent animistic and Catholic cultures

ldquoBohol and its people have a cer-tain respect and appreciation for her-itage and traditionrdquo Chatto shared ldquoThis is why we have come up with this campaign to highlight the capti-vating charm that Bohol exudes and the heartwarming hospitality offered by Boholanos themselvesrdquo

One of the things that Bohol would like to promote and enrich through its new tourism campaign is the element of nationalistic pride ldquoBy showing everyone how Boholanos have preserved practices and beliefs that other Filipinos have already

seemed to forget we are also able to emphasize the value of cherishing their heritagerdquo PBAFI executive Ria Cauton noted ldquoIn an age when our culture are soaked in various colonial ideas and infl uences thatrsquos really something that has become rarerdquo

Boholrsquos colorful history can be seen all over the prov-ince mdash especially when one looks upon its well-preserved Hispanic structures scattered

all over like the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in

Dauis which attracts thousands of devout Catholics every year and the Church of Our Lady of the Immacu-late Conception in Baclayon which is touted as Asiarsquos best-preserved Jesuit church

In addition other reasons that permit the province to say ldquoYou canrsquot say yoursquove been to the Philip-pines and truly experienced Filipino culture without having gone to Bo-holrdquo are its rich and distinct culinary offerings vibrant nightlife thriving art scene and ancestral craft-making practices All of these underscore the fact that indeed one of Boholrsquos main assets is its hospitable con-stantly jovial and honest people

ldquoYou donrsquot have to be from Bohol to love Boholrdquo revealed Secretary Jimenez ldquoItrsquos simply being part of a rich cultural experience that makes a visit to Bohol unforgettable The Loboc Childrenrsquos Choir for ex-ample has become a symbolic icon of the province precisely because as an American friend who heard them once said lsquoYou cannot sing the way they do if you are not happyrsquordquo

Take a fl oating lunch cruise along the Lob-oc River in Bohol

Corella is another inland town some 10 km north of Tagbilaran Bohol In Corella you can visit the Tarsier Sanctuary where tarsiers are observed protected and are freely living on its natural habitat

Just like in any part of the world a certain place will always have a spe-cifi c food that will be considered as its ldquospecialtyrdquo In Bohol Philippines there are also a lot of foods that tour-ists must try These Bohol foods are highly recommended that one must not leave Bohol without eating such foods otherwise their stay would not be very memorable

The Bohol food that tourists must try if they are by the Alona Beach is seafood The most recommended one is prawns Oftentimes this type of Bohol food is grilled One of the restaurants in Bohol that offer seafood is JASZ Restaurant This is a recommended restaurant because prices are affordable Other Bohol restaurants by the Alona Beach that offer seafood are the Panglao Beach Resort Restaurant Trudi and The Pyramid

Those who are not much into seafood may try dining at another Bohol restaurant called the Loboc River Cruise Lunch Recommended Bohol foods offered here include omelette grilled vegetables pork and chicken barbeque Seafood lov-ers are also suggested to visit this place as it serves superb seafood like lapu-lapu fi sh calamari and tigerprawns Tourists are suggested to have desert such as fresh fruits The prices of the Bohol foods at the Loboc River Cruise Lunch are quite expensive However nothing beats the taste of its foods as everything is just so delicious

If tourists want a Western-themed restaurant they must try out the Gar-den Cafeacute ndash American that is located in Tagbilaran City Placing orders at this restaurant is quite different from the usual restaurants that we go to One has to write down the orders and hand it over to the waitress This

THE METAMORPHOSISby Ernie D Delfi n America just turned 236 years

old In its over two centuries his-tory America has gone through the fi re that made it strong and stable Through countless trials during her lifetime such as the Civil War two World Wars many foreign wars like the Vietnam War and Iraqi War and civil unrests to name a few many American lives have been sacrifi ced to fi ght for what she believes in The last several years economic depressions or recessions that impoverished millions of people have become top issues in the country that have energized Amer-icans to debate intensely what is the right course for their country to pursue to better serve the well-being of her citizens and to bring back the luster and glory of America Due to national concerns on many is-sues like health care housing and global concerns on trade peace and foreign aid against the backdrop of an emerging superpower China Americarsquos national priorities and foreign policies will see a shift that will cause radical changes in this na-tion This election year will be an-other defi ning moment for America to steer Americansrsquo desire for their government to do to preserve its sta-tus as a superpower and envy of the world Despite its socio-economic problems and several foreign policy blunders that caused a signifi cant decline in Americarsquos infl uence in the world the last decade or so Ameri-cans are still a very lucky people as we are still guaranteed justice liberty and the pursuit of our own happiness that more than half of the earthrsquos population can just dream about

With that as a background I am quite grateful and fulfi lled this Independence Day 2012 as I also celebrated another birthday on July 5th (Philippine time) which is July 4th in America As 4th of July is a major holidays in the United States it has always been an opportune time for me to review my life and refl ect upon lifersquos meaning during this holiday amidst the elaborate fi re-works that surround the city where we live Having lived for over six decades now on this planet 60 of which in the American soil I can-not ask for more as I feel that I have had a ldquogood liferdquo on this earth with people I love and who love me too

The last 365 days since my last birthday were replete with surprises

events experiences and personal episodes that made me quite grateful that I am still alive and happy Like America as a person grows older (and wiser) his priorities change but his core values that serve as his compass remains constant That inexplicable feeling of joy and happiness as well as pains and suf-ferings often come to our lives as certain as the sunrise in the morning and sunset in the evening The past year has caused in me a good mix of human emotions happy sad scared regretful (for many things I have done or not done) hopeful and grateful that I am still alive and kicking today Less than a year ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and to the best of my memory I am the fi rst in my family to be stricken with that dreadful ldquoCrdquo ailment Such unexpected diagnosis from my annual medical exams has caused a very high degree of anxiety and ldquopains and sufferingrdquo within me and my family However I discovered solace and strength in my new found spiritual journey accepting that our Lord not us is in control of our lives and has admonished His people to ldquoBe not afraidrdquo Surprisingly I learned that His ldquoBe-not-afraid- advicerdquo appeared in the Bible 365 times

Thanks to my God the greatest Healer months after my surgery early this year my doctor told me that I am now a cancer survivor as my PSA level is now at negligible level He told me that he doesnrsquot want to see me more than twice a year now

Amidst that scary episode how-ever I also enjoyed many things during the past year like our month long adventure to Vienna Rome London and Paris with my one and only wife of over 30 years as our second honeymoon (many will be smiling or LOL with that bold disclosure) Another inventory of joyful accomplishments included the successful chartering of the Global Kalinga e-Rotary Club fi rst e- Club in Rotary District 3780 (and the second one in the entire Philip-pines) that I initiated and founded last year with 40 charter members who live in 6 countries that is expected to double by our fi rst An-niversary date in Oct 2012

This e-Rotary Club is like an infant that remains so tender and fragile that it needed a lot of patience and nourishment to grow But like lov-ing parents many of our committed

Independence Day 2012 and Birthday Refl ections

members are matured and patient enough to nurture this e-Rotary baby to develop it to become an Olym-pian athlete to compete in the near future Our GKeRotary Club has now members from many nationalities like Caucasians Hispanics Blacks Canadians Nigerians and Filipinos (from Luzon to Mindanao) who reside in as many 6 countries today As we grow in number with closer camaraderie among us doing many meaningful ldquoService Above Selfrdquo humanitarian proj-ects in the Philippines as well as in the city where we live we will have more FUN in this borderless e-Rotary Club than the traditional Rotary Club that meets weekly

Adhering to the ldquoSecretsrdquo in achieving a fulfi lled life by con-scious efforts (until they become unconscious efforts) to ldquobalanc-ing your Liferdquo into its essential quadrants PHYSICAL (to live) MENTAL (to learn) SOCIAL (to love) and SPIRITUAL (to leave a legacy) I have consciously put more time in one area that matters most (once you are over 60 like me) the ldquoleaving a legacyrdquo quadrant Itrsquos a fact of life that when you become a senior citizen you can no longer do many things nor eat many foods that you enjoyed when you were one and twenty when you were in high school or college so you simply adjust to your new reality Each morning that you wake up and able to walk and see the sunrise hear the chirping of birds smell the aroma of freshly brewed Healthy Coffee itrsquos always a small miracle and you thank the One Who gave you life Having accepted my own mortality that one day I will also meet my Maker I have replaced a good por-tion of ldquobusinessrdquo hours into vol-unteerism or ldquoService Above Selfrdquo hours in my church and several NGOs like the Rotary Interna-tional that truly render humanitarian works to others

Also for about fi ve years now I have been attending a weekly morn-ing Bible Study that has contributed greatly in the balancing of my life that is very hard to do in a materi-alistic society like the USA The word BIBLE has been creatively defi ned to mean ldquoB asic L essons B efore L eaving E arthrdquo and in so many ways it lsquos true All of us homo sapiens undergo that human journey like the biblical ldquoprodigal sonrdquo who must leave the family home goes away (to experience new things both good and bad) and hopefully comes back home (to his Father) as he must undergo some profound changes (for his own salvation) Life without any kind of metamorphosis the caterpillar would never become a beautiful and colorful butterfl y So does a person must undergo many phases of his transformation to enjoy his journey on this earth before he goes into that blissful state that many call Heaven or Paradise

Additionally last year I also fi nished by certifi cation classes and has been ldquocertifi edrdquo by the Diocese of Orange and the Orange County Sheriff to wear a white badge as a ldquoRestorative Justice Ministerrdquo aka ldquoPrison Detention Ministerrdquo where we visit and minister to the inmates in the Orange County Jails every week for Bible Study andor Catholic Com-munion Services every week

Meeting these ldquoinmatesrdquo (thatrsquos what they are called in County Jails in state or federal prison the incarcerated are called ldquoprisonersrdquo) and listening to them and ministering to their ldquospiritualrdquo needs on a weekly basis have an-nihilated many myths and miscon-ceptions that I used to hold ldquoagainstrdquo them Due to some educational and cultural biases I used to believe that all those in prison deserved to be there as they are ldquobadrdquo criminals but slowly I have softened that stand I now believe that although these in-mates are incarcerated they are still human beings also who still possess their human dignity as children of the same God Many martyrs and saints of the church like St John the Baptist and St Paul were also in prison The prison system is a part of the human society since biblical times and its worsening conditions in many areas are a sad refl ection of all of us en of the same God Many martyrs and our lives and He has admonished His people to ldquo

Punishments and Restorative

Justice are two schools of thoughts that are being administered in many prisons today The Catholic and many Christian churches advo-

cate that more must be done in the rehabilitation or in the Restorative Justice of inmates or prisoners in the Justice System to give back their human dignity even when they are incarcerated

Being a Prison Detention Minister and just listening and observing these inmates during our Catholic Communion Services that we do for them is another human experience

that can potentially convert a sinner like me into a better human being For instance I got an unexpected education from one woman inmate

when she declared ldquoI am now very happy that I was arrested for what I did I consider my arrest as my own rescue from a certain deathrdquo What a paradigm shift Now I can understand why there are many spiritual conversions that occur in prison because God does not leave a person wherever he is because He is everywhere

To any practicing Catholic (or any religion for that matter)

out there I highly recommend that he or she tries to see if becoming a Prison Detention or Restorative Jus-tice Minister is right for him or her It is a wonderful experience There is a great need for more dedicated and willing volunteers to minister to the spiritual needs of this growing prison population in America today

The foregoing column is a very sobering personal refl ection on

this 4th of July weekend that I am boldly sharing to all readers and my friends with a ray of hope that some may also be inspired to be an-other ldquoLamp in the City on the Hillrdquo for others to see the inexplicable wonders of God as He has mysteri-ously converted Saul the Christian persecutor into St Paul to become a great and fearless evangelist of our Christian faith

the maintenance of peace and stability respect for interna-tional law and unimpeded lawful commerce in the South China Seardquo

Clinton welcomed the meeting saying a slew of joint initiatives including disaster relief forestry policy and disease control were ldquoan important signal that the US and China not only can but will work together in Asiardquo

No threats and intimidationClinton also urged claimant

countries not to resort to threats and intimidation an indirect reference to China

ldquoWe believe the nations of the region should work collabora-tively and diplomatically to resolve disputes without coercion without intimidation without threats and without use of forcerdquo Clinton said

ldquoIssues such as freedom of navi-gation and lawful exploitation of maritime resources often involve a wide region and approaching them strictly bilaterally could be a recipe for confusion and even confronta-tionrdquo Clinton added

The US said stability is its concern in the waterway which carries $5 trillion in ship-borne trade account-ing for half the worldrsquos shipping tonnage

ldquoThe United States is going to be very clear in our determination to see progress on the code of conduct between those negotiations that are taking place between China and ASEANrdquo a senior US State Depart-ment offi cial told reporters earlier this week

Clearly outline positionClinton likewise urged ASEAN na-

tions ldquoto clearly outline its position on the Scarborough Shoalrdquo and ldquoto complete a regional code of conduct in a timely fashionrdquo

She warned about serious prob-lems to the regional bloc if ASEAN fails to address the challenge

ldquoWhat might be a challenge today for some of ASEANrsquos members if left unaddressed by all of ASEAN could lead tomorrow to issues that may become problems for other ASEAN membersrdquo she said

Clinton said the US ldquolooks to ASEAN and claimant states to provide leadership in this issue and recognizes the important role of the ASEAN chairman to fi nd consensus and advance a common ASEAN positionrdquo

ldquoASEAN needs to meet its own goals and standards and be able to speak with one voice on issues fac-ing the regionrdquo Clinton said

ASEANrsquos 10 members announced earlier this week that they have drafted a set of rules governing maritime rights and navigation and procedures for when governments disagree But China is not a member of the group and hasnrsquot agreed to anything

The ASEAN countries are present-

ing their proposal to China at this weekrsquos conference in Cambodiarsquos capital though Beijing will probably want to water down any language that ties its hands

For the US the diffi cult diplomacy ahead could be a major test of the Obama administrationrsquos efforts to ldquopivotrdquo American power toward the worldrsquos most populous continent Just speaking out on the subject already has helped the US deepen ties with Vietnam and relations are warming with other governments in the region

But countless meetings between American and Chinese offi cials have not led to progress on a lasting solution

Various longstanding disputes among China the Philippines Viet-nam Taiwan Malaysia and Brunei involve the arearsquos busy sea-lanes and many observers fear the compli-cated web of disputes could spark a violent confl ict

The standoff between China and the Philippines in Panatag (Scarbor-ough) Shoal began in April when the Philippines accused Chinese fi sher-men of poaching in its exclusive economic zone including the shoal During the tensions both sides sent government ships to the area though both have since withdrawn vessels

Vietnam has protested a recent an-nouncement by the China National Offshore Oil Corp opening nine oil and gas lots for international bidders in areas overlapping with existing Vietnamese exploration blocks Viet-nam says the lots lie entirely within its 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone and continental shelf

When conditions are ripeWith the ASEAN set to start

negotiations with China on a code of conduct Beijing said it is willing to work with member countries ldquowhen the conditions are riperdquo

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokes-person Liu Weimin said in a press conference in Beijing Monday that the code of conduct is not for the resolution of disputes in the West Philippine Sea

ldquoI would like to emphasize that the code of conduct aims not at resolv-ing the South China Sea disputes but boosting mutual trust and coopera-tion between the parties concerned in a joint bid to maintain peace and stability in the South China Seardquo Liu said

Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario for his part told the ASEAN meeting that ldquothe adher-ence of all countries in the region to a set of fair and transparent rules as embodied in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea will generate greater mutual trust and respect in the regionrdquo ndash AP Pia Lee-Brago

survive one must have a job but for one to prosper one must engage in business

For this I am not worried about my daughter She will never be unemployed a victim of closing or streamlining companies She has her own business with no overheads and she is in a higher notch than when she started and contin-ues to spiral up in her virtual store

Of course this is not for everyone This is not for the comfortable not for those who do not blaze trails not for the non-dreamers defi nitely not for those who choose to be with the ninety-fi ve percent of society who choose to be ordinary

Only fi ve percent of society dares to swim against the tides These are the likes of Steve Jobs Donald Trump Bill Gates and others like those who became millionaires in Amway

Knowing my daughter and if I am not mistaken I predict that she will persevere and succeed She is guided by the Scriptures and books written by those who have made it She is so disci-plined that she does not even watch TV She says Jessica Sanchez and Manny Pacquaio will not help her become fi -nancially free They could entertain you but when you go back to reality you are still in whatever state you are

AS THE BAMBOOS SWAY By Rudy D Liporada

A couple from church introduced Am-way to me in 1987 They showed a plan telling me that I could be a millionaire in two to fi ve years if I buy from my own store ndash soaps (both laundry and body) beauty products vitamins and many more ndash and share the dream with others

I did not care I just landed in America just two weeks before I came to Amer-ica to work in pursuit of my own kind of dream Besides even if I wanted to I did not have $8000 then to register plus I did not have lsquoothersrsquo to share dreams with

Fast forward to late 2010 My only daughter and youngest of my children then 18 gets wind of Amway She asks for $16700 so she could register to be-come what Amway calls an Independent Business Owner Although reluctant I shelled out the money After all it was not for drugs or something like that Then she tells us among others to buy from her store what we would be buying from other stores anyway Why make the other stores profi t when we should be patronizing her store The prices were competitive She changed our soaps toothpastes her momrsquos make-up kit drinks vitamins etc I did not really care To me shaving cream is shaving

cream laundry soap is laundry soap My daughter is happy I am happy

What I did not really know was she was growing her market She had others join her in her dream

In late 2010 she had to attend an Amway convention in Portland Oregon with her dozen team members ndash no one was over 21 years old They were going on a long drive for eighteen hours They needed two vans but no rent-a-car would allow them to rent the vehicles Grudg-ingly I acceded to her request that I and her mom rent one each of those vans and might as well join them ndash might as well be in the convention

And so we were there In front of ten thousand participants

couple after couple testifi ed how they realized their dream sharing Amway products They were former waitresses accountants doctors construction workers Navy Seals etc On gargantuan screens they fl aunted their villas jets yachts high end cars and their pleasure trips around the world They said that through patience and hard work for two to fi ve years they sailed to becoming millionaires ndash now waking up whenever they want and being full time moms and dads

I believed them If only one of them would be lying in front of ten thousand people the institution Amway would crumble down

Then I was angry There was this guy same as my age was a teacher like me He was on the stage as a millionaire and I was down there listening to him and I have nothing to show He got into Amway in the middle 90rsquos Deng It was introduced to me in 1987

I started reading their brochures and catalogs I came to the conclusion that mathematically you could really get rich doing this thing All you needed is the belief the emotional quotient strive patience and most of all your dreams

Nonetheless beyond the business be-yond the products beyond the dreams I treasure most what Amway has done to my daughter Instead of continuing to party like most of her peers she is reading the Bible upon waking up and follows this up with management and business related books She is in power business cloths instead of showing her belly buttons Most important before Amway she fi ghts with her mom Now they are the best of friends

So I tell my friends and acquaintances about Amway and its products Most of them because the company has been there for over 50 years have heard of it have been into it and have notions about it This is because Amway is the mother of networking and Amway stands for the American Way

Most of them too after I show or reshow them the product benefi ts and the principle of buying from your own store go back to Amway if they have been there before The main thing is all of them agree to the greatness of the products and appreciate the evolved and developed marketing system of the com-pany ndash for those in the know one does not have to horde products anymore to sell everything now is done on-line And if you are not computer suave one in the organization will do it for you because you at least know how to use your cell phone or you can directly call in the orders

Robert T Kiyosaki in his book Rich Dad Poor Dad says that in order for one to be fi nancially free one must have a business He means for one to only

Joke of the Week Bill had a good friend who was a minister of long years standing They used to josh one another occasionally ldquoYou reverend think yoursquore so hotrdquo said Bill one day ldquoAfter all yoursquore only about 50 percent effective About half of the babies you baptize donrsquot stay Christians about half of the adults you convert donrsquot stay con-verted and about half the people you marry donrsquot stay marriedrdquo ldquoWersquore 100 percent on one pointrdquo answered his minister friend ldquoIf I were a bet-ting man Irsquod give you 1000 to1odds that all the people we bury stay buriedrdquo

Scriptures First Reading Jer-emiah 23 1-6 In Jeremiahrsquos time the people of the northern kingdom of Israel had been exiled to Assyria and the Israelites in the southern kingdom of Judah had been deported to Babylon There were lots of dev-astated lives and broken hearts The kings and leaders did not live up as true shepherds The prophet speaks of hope out of this dismal condi-tion God will raise a new shepherd who will rule with righteousness and unite Israel and Judah Sec-ond Reading Ephesians 2 13-18 Through Christ all religious barriers between Hebrews and non-Hebrews or Gentiles are now demolished Through Christrsquos redemptive work of salvation and reconciliation those who are ldquofar offrdquo and ldquonearrdquo are now brought together All have access to the Father with the Spirit

Gospel Mark 6 30-34 In the fi rst reading God renews the promise he made to his people 1) to bless hu-manity by bringing it back to a land where it can bear fruit abundantly

(an allusion to Genesis) 2) to raise a new king who shall rule his people justly and rightly (a promise made to Abraham and David) Christian view the blessing at creation story of Gen-esis and the promise of a new leader are both fulfi lled in Jesus Christ

Refl ections The Hebrew word for shepherd does not only mean a king and ruler it also connotes the notion of feeding defending caring

and providing Jeremiah denounced the shepherds of his time who cared for themselves alone and not for the fl ock that were entrusted to them From the Christian point of view Jesus Christ is the shepherd who restores hope to new Israel In turn Jesus wants his apostles to continue his shepherding mission

Reginald Fuller commented that in this Marcan passage the term ldquoapostlesrdquo was not originally a title but a function Jeremiah condemned Zedekiah and the last kings of Judah as shepherds who have misled the people These corrupt shepherds paid more attention to their own selfi sh vested interests than those of the fl ock The Marcan passage is implying that the apostles should

avoid committing the same serious mistake In Matthew 23 6-7 Jesus told his disciples ldquoThey (Scribes and Pharisees) love places of honor at banquets seats of honor in syna-gogues greetings in marketplaces and the salutation lsquoRabbirsquordquo The apostles are told not to put more emphasis on title such as ldquoapostlerdquo and less on responsibilities that come with it Instead they should put more weight on their duties and responsibilities Titles such as ldquodoctor teachers bishop reverend engineer lawyerrdquo denote functions and responsibilities But when a title gains more prominence than the re-sponsibilities that come with it title divides rather than unites people

PSYCHOLOGISTS HAVE PROPOSED THE FASCINATING CONCEPT OF THE DYAD (Greek dyacuteo ldquotwordquo) or bi-polar archetype Common functionaries such as doc-torpatient lawyerclient ministerparishioner and parents children are some archetypal roles Many of these roles are essentially linked to a partnering archetype hence the term dyad archetype To stress the supe-rior pole of the archetype doctor lawyer minister and parents over the other pole patient client parish-ioner and children breaks the dyad and negatively impacts both poles For instance a doctor who fails to recognize that there is a ldquophysi-cianrdquo in his patient breaks down the therapeutic relationship between him and his patient The same is true with a teacher who fails to see that he too is a ldquostudentrdquo who can learn from his students Ministers who forget that they too are in need of salvation treat their parishioners as inferiors Parents become domineer-ing and overbearing when they fail to learn from their children On the other hand the dyad is also broken when the inferior pole is emphasized over the superior pole When both poles recognize each otherrsquos strength and draw energies to enhance each otherrsquos well being there is true heal-ing learning ministering parenting and spirituality

We read in todayrsquos Gospel that Jesus invited his apostles to take a break from their tiresome activities Likewise we seek scenic vistas sun-ny beaches quiet and private places

to relax and unwind Leonardo da Vinci wrote ldquoEvery now and then go away have a little relaxation for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose power of judgment hellip Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be take in at a glance and lack of harmony or proportion is more readily seenrdquo Jesus mindful of his apostlesrsquo need for a breather after a hectic mission asked them to rest a while It was a rest aimed at energizing the apostles with the divine presence that would enable them to be more effective in their mission Onersquos summer vacation can also be an occasion to recharge our spiritual battery

ldquoNot without design does God write the music of our lives Be it ours to learn the time and not be discouraged at the rests If we say sadly to ourselves lsquoThere is no music in a restrsquo let us not forget there is the making of music in it The making of music is often a slow and painful process in this life How patiently God works to teach us How long He waits for us to learn the lessonrdquo (John Ruskin)

Quotation of the Week ldquoIf you keep a bow always bent it will break eventually but if you let it go slack it will be fi t for use when you want itrdquo Aesop

Spirituality in Dyadic Relationship

Spiritual Courage

Courage is connected with taking

risks Jumping the Grand Can-yon on a motorbike coming over Niagara Falls in a barrel or crossing the ocean in a rowboat are called courageous acts because people risk their lives by doing these things But none of these daredevil acts comes from the centre of our being They all come from the desire to test our physical limits and to become famous and popular

Spiritual courage is something completely different It is following the deepest desires of our hearts at the risk of losing fame and popular-ity It asks of us the willingness to lose our temporal lives in order to gain eternal life

Cayabyab lauds ABS-CBN Philharmonic

OrchestraABS CBN News | MANILA Phil-

ippines -- Acclaimed composer Ryan Cayabyab lauded the newly formed ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra which will make its fi rst major public debut at the ldquoIcons at the Arenardquo con-cert at the SM Mall of Asia Arena

Rehearsing this afternoon was a breeze The rare event on Saturday combines only the best Filipino art-ists together in the concert with the best musicians of the ABS-CBN Phil-harmonic What more can I ask for as musical director Ang ganda at ang sarap ng tugtuganrdquo said Cayabyab who is the musical director of

the all-star OPM concertCayabyab who composed OPM

classics such as Kay Ganda ng Ating Musika called the orchestra the newest most exciting addition to the top artists of the Kapamilya Network

He praised the orchestra members as arguably the best crossover musi-cians of the country who can perform all types and genres of music led by

a formidable music director Gerard Salonga

Early this year ABS-CBN and First Philippine Holdings Inc joined hands to promote an advocacy for Filipinos to connect and experience ldquorealrdquo and ldquogoodrdquo music Thus the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra was created to defy the notion that a full orches-tra is only limited to classical music

The 40-piece musical ensemble is also a fi rst in the history of ABS-CBN

ABS-CBN chairman Eugenio ldquoGabbyrdquo Lopez III stressed that the orchestra aims to provide music of the highest caliber to the general audience

ABS-CBN president Charo Santos-Concio on the other hand expressed her full support for the orchestra

and her optimism that this will be a signifi cant platform to celebrate the character and soul of Filipino music

According to ABS-CBN Philhar-monic Orchestrarsquos executive director Mickey Muntildeoz the orchestra shall also service the performance and music needs of ABS-CBN such as concerts as well as the musical scor-ing for movies

Muntildeoz also revealed that a youth orchestra is also being formed to train indigent but talented young Pinoys to play musical instruments

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada

(In the last chapter PMA cadet Julius Madrigal buys a bible as New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Carlo entered his room from his bath He donned on a t-shirt from his strewn clothes which he would have to pack the following day Over the shirt he pulled over a lengthwise striped sweater which made him appear taller than his five foot and a half frame He then went to the mirror and combed his still damp straight hair parting it on its left side He smiled checking his well set teeth He felt clean

Cleanliness is next to Godliness Monday after the New

Year he would be back to nearer Godliness His two weeks vacation would be over He would be back to where he would like to dedicate himself to be really next to Godli-ness

Again he would be back where everyday the brrriinnnggg brrr-riiiinnggg brrriinnnnggg wake up bell that permeates throughout the seminary walls would swirl into his eardrums and into his innermost soul jolting him to slide off the bed and be on his knees when sunrays slice through the windows of where he had confined himself to be nearer to Godliness Still in the throes of being awake his right hand flies to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Hail Mary full of gracehelliphe falls back into the abyss of nothingness but a second alarm ndash briiinnggg briiinggg brii-ingggg would bring back the swirl into his eardrums permeating into

his soul jolting him back to the re-ality that he is already on his knees Hail Mary full of gracehelliphas he said three already He would goad himself and fight against falling back into the abyss of nothingness for the umpteenth time Has he said three Hail Maries already He decides that since he had lost count he would complete three Hail Maries even if he already went over the count He would add an Our Father and a Glory Be

He gets up and staggers himself towards the exit of the dormitory towards the wash basins He passes other seminarians still in various pose of waking up on their knees or staggering out like himself The silkiness or fadedness of their paja-mas distinguishes who among them come from richer or poorer families

After freshening up he dons his white shirt and pants and black neck-tie He then marches out to join the other seminarians lining up in front of the chapel They appear like equal angels without wings Only tie clips shoes belts or brands of watches distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families

Equally mandated each one clasps his hands palms together on his chest They proceed to their assigned pews while cherubim like hymns fill the air

And the rite beginsDominus VobiscumhellipEt cum

spiritu tuohellipOra pro nobis kneelhellipsithellipstandhellipsit againhellipmostly kneel - all in sanctity to commune with the Spirit and the saints

By the offertory sanctity could be broken as Carlorsquos stomach as well as othersrsquo would growl pleading that the fangs of hunger be quelled But they have to wait though now find it hard to be in communion with the Spirit and the saints

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Finally it would be lsquoGo in peace the mass is endedrsquo

In seeking peace for their hunger they still have to be saintly tip-toe out of the chapel Their shoes then would scrape on the hallways in they dash to the dormitories in the rush to change into their school clothes

Now their over-all clothing demeanors ndash shirts pants sweaters socks shoes ndash starkly distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families Nonetheless richer or poorer they remained equal in the need to quell the fangs of hun-ger as they rush to the rectory hall

A sunny side two sausages fried rice from leftovers the night before crowd on each of the eight plates on each of the ten tables at the rec-tory The coffee would be soggy but would still be a welcome brew to enliven our breakfast which is equal for all The food they are about to receive from His bounty made them all equal except that there are also apples and juice and non soggy cof-fee at the head table where the Flem-ish rector Flemish assistant rector and Flemish principal are

Their stomachs would now really be howling gurgling clamoring for whatever they have to partake on but they all had to equally wait for the last seminarian to enter the dining hall half embarrassed half rever-ent The rector frowning for the delay would glare at the late comer before his right hand would fly to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Bless us Oh Lord in these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord Amen

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Amen

The last vestiges of reverence would now be broken as the ter-restrial need to fortify onersquos body takes precedence over the needs of the soul Chairs screech as the seminarians slide unto them Spoons and forks bang to scrape on eggs sausages and rice as they slide from the plates into munching mouths to mediate the growling gurgling stomachs

After a while Carlo would be satisfied with the egg two sausages fried rice and soggy coffee He would then have more time to often wonder why those Flemish priests also have apples juice and non soggy coffee while the seminar-ians do not Often he dismisses

the thought to just because they are already priests priests who are white because they have a different culture Nonetheless he often asks himself didnrsquot Jesus Christ share the same enliven bread and fish with his apostles

Often he would also feel guilty that having such kind of thoughts about inequality with the priests could be sacrilegious and wonders if he had to go to the con-fessional for that

Such thoughts however would vanish as he immerses himself with the day of classes ndash geometry Latin physics basketball volleyball lunch more studies ping-pong ro-sary and the long litanies and night prayers

The thoughts of inequality how-ever would invade his mind again the following day right after the br-riinnggg brrriinggg brriingggg and the regimen begins

And the regimen he would be go-ing back to made the short Christ-mas holiday break really shorter Nonetheless he had dedicated himself to the vocation and glad that no one or nothing during the vaca-tion made him feel that it was really short He had again passed the test of being out of the seminary walls with still the resolve that he would be going back for Godlinessrsquos sake

Vacations are not only respites from the sanctified isolationrsquos regimen They are tests to how one would not succumb to the calls of the human flesh in the outside world Should one not be able to resist temptations it would be better for one to fall away from the calling earlier than later after one is fully vested when the faithful would be subject to disillusionment

Nonetheless tonight Carlo would indulge in a simple call of the flesh He was ready for the dinner prepared by his mother one much better than the feasts of the priests

The MoringaMalunggay Tree with its edible leaves flowers and pods is one of most power packed nutritious trees in the world It goes by many different names drumkstick tree the Miracle tree the Never Die Tree the Miracle tree

I wrote an article on that subject here but it is also one of the most healing trees in the world All of the tree is ei-ther used for food medicine or cooking It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for hundreds of years to both prevent and treat almost 300 diseasesThe in-formation in this article is not based on double blind research but on the histori-cal and current usage of Moringa leaves flowers and pods in India and many other countries This is how the people have used it in the past and how they use it now Much of this information was observed and documented in the different health projects by physicians in their treatment of AIDS malnutrition and disease In India Ayurvedic physi-cians use it in their standard treatment protocols

How can Moringa leaves have an im-pact on so many problems Many health problems are due to poor nutrition malnutrition and imbalanced disease states which result in immune system breakdown and disease When you correct those imbalances and nutritional deficiencies with super packed nutritious food it is bound to improve health and disease states The ability for Moringa leaves flowers bark and pods to have such diverse healing effects is due to the vitamins minerals antioxidants and healing elements the tree contains

A review of Moringas power packed nutrition

Here is a nutritional breakdown of Fresh Moringa Leaves 7 times the Vitamin C of Oranges 4 times the Cal-cium of Milk 3 times the Potassium of Bananas 2 times the Protein of Yogurt 4 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and frac34 the iron of Spinach

Moringa leaves when dried become a even greater powerhouse of nutri-tion containing frac12 the Vitamin C of Oranges 17 times the Calcium of Milk 15 times the Potassium of Bananas 9 times the Protein of Yogurt 25 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and 20 times the Iron in Spinach All elements except the Vitamin C is increased when you dry the leaves under low temperatures Drying the leaves in direct sunlight decreases its nutritional values

How Moringa and Artemisia Annua Leaves benefit AIDS Patients

There are health projects going on

in Tanzania Musoma and other areas There is a real AIDS crisis in these areas In these AIDS cases the doctors have found that the combination of two herbs Moringa and Artemisia Annua improved the energy stamina and CD4 counts of the AIDS patients Some of their patients came in so weak they were not able to walk or care for them-selves They improved so dramatically that many were able to go back to work and many stayed to help the incoming patients These dramatic improvements were documented over and over again by the doctors in these health projects

How the herbs were used in the treat-ment protocols

The physicians combined dried Mor-inga Leaves with Artemisia Annua and then added one heaping teaspoonful of the powder to make a tea A liter of tea using 5 grams of the powder was given 3 times a day to the patient while the symptoms were acute Later when the patients improved it was reduced to a cup a day When you consider the super nutrition in Moringa leaves it is easy to understand how the Aids patients would improve The power packed nutrition would bolster their immune function strength stamina and ability to live a more normal active life

Moringa does NOT cure AIDS but helps the AIDS patient live longer and improves their quality of life and health Often the AIDS patient does not die from AIDS but from one of the opportunistinfections that prey on their compromised immune system

Moringa Leaves effects on blood pres-sure blood sugar breast milk produc-tion and anemia

In India the leaves are used to normalize blood pressure and to treat anxiety In 1994 a team of researchers identified a new nitride and mustard oil glycoside that demonstrated its ability to lower blood pressure

An infusion of the leaf is used to reduce sugar levels though not as ef-fectively as the standard hypoglycemia medicine

Moringa leaves mixed with honey then followed with coconut milk drunk 2 to 3 times a day is used for diarrhea dysentery and colitis

Moringa leaves have been observed and documented by doctors in the health projects to increase breast milk produc-tion and the health of nursing mothers This is due to the nutrition in the leaves especially the protein calcium and iron

Refreshing News | 7122012 -- Top experts separate the fact from myth once and for all--and reveal some surprises in the process Myth 1 Eating at Night Makes You Fat FACT If your overall calorie intake is appropriate for weight loss or maintenance it may benefit you to eat something after dinner says Joni Rampolla RD Director of Nu-trition and Wellness for Medifast

Late-night calories will ultimately get used the next day (and even while you sleep) To keep your en-ergy levels up it is better to spread your calories out during the day when your body needs fuel Aim to eat something every two or three hours This will stabilize blood sugar levels and help you feel full and energized all day

If you do need a late-night snack consider keeping it to 200 calories or less

Myth 2 Hunger is a sign you need food FACT The body commonly sends cues of hunger when it is dehydrated sleep deprived or sensing psycho-logical hunger If yoursquore not drinking enough water or getting enough sleep this alone can cause you to sense hunger even though yoursquore full Rampolla says

Myth 3 Losing weight is harder than keeping it off FACT More than 90 percent of dieters regain the weight they lost (or more) once they ldquofinishrdquo their plan Rampolla says If you resume eating the foods you ate before los-ing weight you will gain the weight back-and maybe a few extra pounds Herersquos why After weight loss your slimmer body requires fewer calo-ries to function Plus if your weight-loss plan does not include enough protein you might lose muscle mass in addition to excess fat Why thatrsquos bad Muscle burns more calories than fat does so losing muscle will lower your metabolism

Every day make a positive decision to stay on track with your new healthy lifestyle Maintaining healthy eating habits is a lifelong commitment and takes persistence Rampolla says

Myth 4 Exercise makes you tired FACT As the body gets in better shape most people feel exercising gives them more energy than before Regular exercise can also help fight fatigue improve your sleep and manage your stress says Gina Crome MS MPH RD and Top 10 FitOrbitcom trainer

Myth 5 Working out is a big time commitment FACT To main-tain a healthy weight you can work out as little as 20 to 40 minutes most days of the week If your goal is to lose weight itrsquos advised that you aim for about 45 to 60 minutes each day Crome says

The best part You donrsquot need to fit it all into one session Most of us can find five to 10 minutes to spare

at different points in the day Using these spare minutes throughout the day to be active adds up quickly and eventually becomes a regular part of your healthy lifestyle

Myth 6 Lower-body workouts will give you lean legs faster FACT The type of exercise you do does not affect the number of fat cells in a specific area Crome says Even if you do 100 abs exer- cises every day without proper nutri-tion quality sleep and a well-round- ed fitness routine you might never achieve the toned flat stomach you want You will help develop the muscles in that area but that doesnrsquot equate to fat loss

When the body loses

fat it does so

in a

sys-

temic fashion-all over the body at the same time Aside from surgical procedures such as liposuction there is no way to direct or influence the elimi-nation of fat from

specific areas Crome says Myth 7 You should

only eat carbs when yoursquore ac-tive FACT This myth is based on the belief that since carbs are the bodyrsquos preferred energy source you shouldnrsquot eat them when yoursquore inactive-like most people are in the evening However many individuals have atypical schedules or regularly exercise after work These people benefit from consuming appropri-ate amounts of carbohydrates in the evening to fuel their lifestyle says John Bosse RD and Member of the Research amp Development team for USANA Health Sciences

For someone who is sedentary in the evening a small high-protein snack such as 23 cup of full-fat cottage cheese or a protein shake can actually help you stay slim Research shows that eating high-quality protein at regular intervals promotes better body composition and since a lot of time passes between dinner

and breakfast this small snack is a smart strategic move

Myth 8 Heavy weights will make you bulky FACT Unless yoursquore taking in substances that alter your hormone profile (anabolic ste-roids) it is highly unlikely that you will gain large amounts of muscle Bosse says Doing a high number of reps (20+) using light weights and stopping each set well before the point of muscular failure certainly helps improve fitness and burn calo-ries but itrsquos not the best way to get a lean toned body What is Integrate periods of heavier training (six to 10 reps) with some sets taken to muscular failure The ability to build muscle is very different for men and women and should not be confused Bosse says

Myth 9 You should do a juice cleanse to detox FACT Our bod-ies are extremely smart and have built-in processes for detoxing every day says Kristen Carlucci RD reg-istered dietitian and nutrition expert for Pitney Bowes Inc

Yes people lose weight on juice cleanses but not because of any mir-acle ingredient or because your body is cleared of toxins that are slowing

down your metabolism Weight lost during a cleanse is most likely

a result of taking in far fewer calories than

usual While fill-ing up on fruits

and vegetables is a positive thing the problem with juice cleanses is that they are a tem-porary fix They donrsquot teach you the balanced nutrition habits you should be forming in order to lose weight and keep it off for good Carlucci says

Myth 10 Carbs are the en-emy FACT With the onset of the low-carb diet craze many people deny themselves this major food group This concept is misunder-stood because itrsquos not the carbohy-drates themselves that cause weight gain itrsquos the fact that for many of us itrsquos difficult to control the portion sizes Carlucci says

Instead of cutting out carbs alto-gether (which does not sound fun at all) focus on choosing the right carbs in the proper portions Stick with whole-grain pastas and breads (each slice should have 100 calories or less and should contain at least 3 grams of fiber) and try to fill no more than 14 of your plate with starch Limit pasta to 1 cup cooked and choose potatoes that are about the size of a computer mouse

The 10 Most Misunderstood Diet and Fitness Strategies Fatty Acid Found in Fish Prevents Age-

Related Vision Loss Study Suggests

ScienceDaily (May 30 2012) mdash An omega-3 fatty acid found in fish known as DHA prevented age-relat-ed vision loss in lab tests according to recent medical research from the University of Alberta

Yves Sauveacute a researcher in the Faculty of Medicine amp Dentistry and his team discovered that lab models fed DHA did not accumulate a toxic molecule at the back of the eyes The toxin normally builds up in the retina with age and causes vision loss

ldquoThis discovery could result in a very broad therapeutic userdquo says Sauveacute whose work was recently published in the peer-reviewed jour-nal Investigative Ophthalmology amp Visual Science

ldquoIn normal aging this toxin increases twofold as we age But in lab tests there was no increase in this toxin whatsoever This has never been demonstrated before -- that supplementing the diet with DHA could make this kind of differencerdquo

The team recently started another study looking at people who have age-related macular degeneration a condition that results in loss of central vision and is the main cause of blindness in people over the age of 50 The researchers will look for DNA markers in the blood of study participants The team wants to determine whether participants with certain genetic markers will respond better to increasing amounts of DHA in their diet and if so why

Sauveacute is a researcher in the departments of ophthalmology and physiology at the U of A

Various organizations funded the research the primary funder was the Canadian Institutes of Health Research

Courtesy of WebMD -- Who doesnrsquot enjoy a tall cool glass of juice The color is vibrant the taste sweet and itrsquos good for you too Not so fast say some dietitians Although the best kinds of juice deliver a bounty of vitamins the worst are hardly better than liquid candy WebMD helps you spot the difference

Drinking your veggies is a conve-nient way to add powerful plant-based nutrients to your diet The lycopene in tomato juice appears to lower the risk of prostate cancer Beet juice may reduce blood pres-sure Pulpy vegetable juice is also packed with fiber that can help con-trol hunger And all of these benefits come without a catch Vegetable juice has far less sugar and fewer calories than the typical fruit juice but it is high in sodium unless you choose the low salt version

Be on alert for the terms juice cocktail juice-flavored beverage or juice drink Most of these prod-ucts contain only small amounts of real juice The main ingredients are usually water and some type of sugar such as high-fructose corn syrup Nutritionally these drinks are similar to most soft drinks mdash rich in sugar and calories but low in nutri-ents Research suggests that sug-ary fruit drinks put kids at risk for obesity and related health problems The 2010 Dietary Guidelines recom-mends water over sugary drinks

If yoursquore only going to drink one glass of juice each day you want to make it a good one So letrsquos ex-plore which juices offer the biggest nutritional payoff per sip Pomegran-ate juice tops the list Itrsquos high in sugar and calories but delivers an abundant dose of antioxidants These substances appear to protect brain function and may ward off cancer In one study 8 ounces of pomegranate juice daily reduced the recurrence of prostate cancer

Cranberry juice is packed with vitamin C which is vital to a healthy immune system There is also evidence to support a folk remedy -- drinking unsweetened cranberry juice may help reduce your risk of urinary tract infections

Substances in blueberries may help keep the brain healthy In a small study researchers looked at the effect of blueberry juice on memory in adults in their seven-ties who had age-related memory decline Those who drank 2 12 cups of blueberry juice for 12 weeks had significant improvement on learning and memory tests compared to those who drank a non-juice beverage So choose blueberry juice to boost brain health

Researchers have only begun look-ing into the health benefits of acai juice which is made from a berry found in South America But early studies are promising Acai pulp appears to have a higher concentra-tion of antioxidants than cranber-ries blackberries strawberries or blueberries

Besides delivering a wealth of antioxidants some berry juices appear to have anti-inflammatory properties According to one study drinking cherry juice before and after your work-out can reduce exercise-induced muscle pain

Wersquove all heard that red wine in moderation can be good for the heart The same is true of red grape juice Red grape juice contains po-tent antioxiodants -- flavanoids and resveratrol The key is that wine and juice are made with the entire grape -- seeds skin and all When you eat fresh grapes you miss out on nutri-ents hiding in the seeds

Another viable folk remedy prune juice has long been recommended to relieve constipation It works because itrsquos extremely high in fiber and contains a natural laxative called sorbitol But the benefits of prune juice donrsquot stop there The juice is also packed with antioxidants iron and potassium

Itrsquos a staple at breakfast but does this popular juice carry its weight The good news is orange juice is loaded with vitamin C a star for its immune-boosting benefits In addition orange juice is often forti-fied with calcium and vitamin D nutrients that strengthen the bones

I wasted no time to register as a member of the Press again Like in previous years it will be held in Las Vegas Nevada The actual conference will be on January 8 ndash 12 2013 but I will be going a little earlier to attend the Pre-Conference Media events The latter starts January 6th

I am encouraging Asian Journal read-ers who are consumer technology pro-fessionals andor enthusiasts to attend and register early Registration now until August 31st is free but it will cost $100 starting September 1st and will increase to $200 on January 2 2013

This is the most important global tech-nology event of the year I have attended it every year for more than a decade now It had grown in terms of atten-dance and exhibit participation annually since I started going

During the International CES 2012 there were more than 140000 of us at-tending For International CES 2013 it is expected to attract more than 150000 top executives retail buyers content providers entertainment executives venture capitalists engineers govern-ment offi cials and media from 150 countries

Innovations Inventions and Initia-tives in several aspects of life will be on display New innovations in hardware software and apps cloud computing lifestyle technologies digital health and automotive technologies will be featured

As I have described in my previ-ous articles attending the likes of the International CES is like witnessing ldquolittle miraclesrdquo created and performed by fi nite beings as if guided by some Infi nite Being

I always enjoyed watching the demos of new products either vying to be in the Top 10 Gadgets Standing or just exhibit-ing them in their respective booths

It is always nice to see the best Mobile Apps demonstrated by developers and analyze their relevance as tools to inform or be informed to educate and be educated to entertain and be enter-tained and to be effi cient and effective

As a member of Press I am lucky to be provided with samples of some of the new products and technologies for review I also get to interview the CEOs of the companies that are launching and demonstrating their new gadgets

The 2013 CES will feature 3000 global technology companies unveiling the latest consumer technology products and services Among the major catego-ries of these products are electronic gaming entertainmentcontent digital imagingphotography connected home technologies automotive electronics audio video TV and many more

The new President of PANASONIC Kazuhiro Tsuga will deliver the Open-ing Keynote Address He is expected to address the ldquoopportunities ahead for consumer electronicsrdquo

Tsugarsquos address will follow the State of the CE Industry keynote address by Gary Shapiro president and CEO of CEA which organizes runs and owns the celebrated conference

Samsungrsquos President Stephen Woo will also deliver a Keynote Address to open day two of the conference He will present his ldquoinsight on the role of com-ponents in enabling consumer product innovationsrdquo

I expect Samsung to launch and unveil during the conference some new products and technologies that would affect the lives of consumers in the years to come

I will update you on the other speak-ers as we get closer to the event

Most importantly let me remind you again ndash register now Do not miss the opportunity of a lifetime

The brave non-violence of the

Subaanen peopleby Fr Shay Cullen PREDA

Some thousands of indigenous people all over the Philippines es-pecially in Mindanao especially the Subaanen people on the Zamboanga Peninsula have struggle for years to stop mining corporations from moving in to explore and mine the mountains and hills They are victims of corrupt government offi cials and even judges who are captivated by the vested inter-est of the mining industry

Some Indigenous people are sadly being forced to turn to armed resis-tance as the mining corporations move into their lands The Subaanen people have remained steadfastly non-violent and turned to the rule of law and trust in the constitution to protect them and their rightsBut is it enough

Hundreds of thousands of hectares of ancestral land has been threatened by the illegal and corrupt acts of some offi cials of the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Allegedly some of these offi cials are not on the side of the people in Mindanao but are for the rich and powerful mining interests and the banks that fund them

They allegedly enrich themselves by giving mining permits to companies

over ancestral lands which is forbidden by law It is at this level in the provinc-es where the anti-corruption campaign of President Aquino is weakest He has deposed a former president and a chief Justice but not yet the corrupt offi cials in Mindanao While the president is dedicated and honestly trying to clean up the stinking garbage of corrup-tion he cannot seemingly oust these entrenched offi cials the henchmen and women of powerful political families

They do not have allegiance to their department cabinet secretary or the president In fact they are ones who defy the president and are the hardest to get rid off The presidents politi-cal allies could be behind the corrupt practices that is opening the way for the illegal logging and issuance of mining permits They are pushing the president to override the provincial governments bans on open pit mining He must resist this pressure

Mining companies that get a permit to explore and mine also get a logging permit for the cutting the trees in the area alloted to them for mining This is totally destructive and is a way around the presidential ban on logging which goes on unabated Just drive through Mindanao and you will pass twenty or thirty huge trucks hauling cut logs I have seen them myself

For many years the Subaanen people and their supporters have stood peace-fully for their rights courageously and bravely to stop the local dynastic families and their cronies in the Inter-national mining industry from mining

their ancestral lands The Subaanen have been non-violent and trusted the democratic rule of law to save them

Their breakthrough cam in August 2011 when the Supreme Court of the Philippines granted a Writ of Ka-likasan (A protection of nature) to the people to protect the environment of the whole of the Zamboanga Peninsu-la A Writ of Kalikasan is a powerful legal remedy under Philippine law which provides for the protection ones right to a balanced and health-ful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature as provided for in Section 16 Article II of the Philippine Constitution It protects ones right for a healthy environment against damage of such magnitude that it threatens life health or property of inhabitants in two or more cities or provinces But the government of-fi cials are ignoring the Supreme Court order

Bishop Jiminez and three other bishops and an archbishop signed a letter to the London based sharehold-ers of the mining company RTZ-CRA trying to get the offi cials to stop the mining and logging wrote to the shareholders

In part he letter said ŠSince the company has the right to expatriate all the profi ts you the shareholders will probably earn some money However many of our people who own the lands where all the minerals are will become paupers Our rivers and seas

In travelling the countryside or while you are crossing the street driving your car taking the subway bedridden in the hospital or stuck in prison dont forget to say your Rosary every day Let the beads slip between your fi ngers they also slip between the fi n-gers of the Holy Father at the Vatican those of a grandmoth-er in Alaska a child on a hill in Rwanda a football player on a fi eld in Rio a Carthusian monk in his cell a Carmelite in her cloister or young evangelists on a mission

The Rosary is the certainly the prayer of the poor and the small the

sick and the suffering par excel-lence Yes always and everywhere not only in space but also in time The latitudes of the planet and longi-

tudes of history crisscross

The Hail Mary has moistened the lips of mil-lions of all ages races and nations How many chil-dren learned it as their fi rst prayer How many of the

dying whispered it as their ultimate testament The Hail Mary is a syn-thesis of two fi rst names Mary and Jesus

Father Daniel Ange

Never Forget to Say Your Rosary Everyday

Daily Meditation Listening With

Our Wounds To enter into solidarity with a suf-

fering person does not mean that we have to talk with that person about our own suffering Speaking about our own pain is seldom helpful for someone who is in pain A wounded healer is someone who can listen to a person in pain without having to speak about his or her own wounds When we have lived through a pain-ful depression we can listen with great attentiveness and love to a depressed friend without mentioning our experience Mostly it is better not to direct a suffering persons attention to ourselves We have to trust that our own bandaged wounds will allow us to listen to others with our whole beings That is healing

July 10 2012 Daily Meditation Text excerpts taken from Bread for the Journey by Henri JM Nouwen copy1997 HarperSanFrancisco All Scripture from The Jerusalem Bible copy1966 1967 and 1968 Darton Longman amp Todd and Doubleday amp Co Inc

Q How do you describe a luke-warm soul

A Jesus said lukewarm souls are souls who if He can only vomit out He will They are the souls He wanted to vomit out when He was in calvary Like in Geth-semane He said if it is only possible that He will not have to drink the cup He will not drink from it because these are the souls who are already in the light but decided to transfer to darkness That is why our Lord said what these souls are doing is the most hurting thing for Him

Q What makes Jesus happy

A What makes Jesus happy is if you can love your enemy Because how can you face God and beg for His mercy if you are not also merciful The truth is it is very diffi cult to love our enemy But there is a secret And the secret is fi rst of all we have to conquer our selves The truth is our num-ber one enemy is ourselves

because pride is in us hatred is in us all the negative are in us But if you are able to conquer your self if we are

able to defeat ourselves it means we do not have anymore pride no more hatred no more envy no more nega-tive and if all the negative are gone

it will be very easy to love your enemy

The truth is it is very easy to say ldquo I forgive yourdquo but it only comes from the mouth Deep inside the negatives are still in your heart and if it is not removed it will remain with you forever That is why you need to remove the negative You can only remove these if you love your enemy Because if you love your enemy ev-erytime you pray he is always included in your prayer and everytime you pray for your enemy slowly the thorn is be-ing removed and if the thorn is removed completely that will make Jesus very happy

To love an enemy means it is not necessary to like Just pray for him Do not say anything against him

a good chance that we will be able to extend this forward momentum as we anticipate better fi rst-half earnings from our listed fi rms The latest sovereign credit rating up-grade also provides additional support for future growth so overall I think we are in a terrifi c position to keep on im-provingrdquo PSE president Hans Sicat said in a press statement

Last July 5 the PSEi again beat its previous record high to post a fresh all-time high at 536998 As of July 6 the PSEi was the top performing market in Asia with a gain of 227 percent year-to-date beating bourses in Singapore Indonesia Malaysia Thailand Vietnam Hong Kong India and China among others

In the fi rst six months cyclical stocks banking and property led the PSEirsquos rise in the fi rst quarter albeit all indices were on the green

The fi nancial index emerged as the best performer in the fi rst half after surging by 346 percent to the 130442 level The fi nancial index was likewise the best performer in terms of bot-tomline based on fi rst-quarter earnings culled by the PSE

The next best performer was the property index which jumped by 301 percent to fi nish at 192748 in the fi rst half

The holding fi rms index rose by 281 percent to the 448880 level

Other indices performed as follows in the fi rst six months the industrial index rallied by 108 percent to fi nish at 783957 the services index climbed by 88 percent to 175902 -the mining and oil index crept higher by 48 percent to 2462948 points

ldquoJust like our main index investor confi dence in Philippines Inc is at an all-time high Whatrsquos remarkable is that we have been able to achieve unprec-edented growth even in the midst of ongoing uncertainties in the Western hemisphere and a cooling Chinese economy This is a testament to the effectiveness of the reforms that the country has undertaken which further contributed to the stable macroeconomic environmentrdquo Sicat said

The PSEirsquos fi nish in the fi rst six months was higher by 95520 points from its previous close of 429121 in the same period last year

The combined market capitalization of issues listed on the PSE during the January to June period stood at P1005 trillion up by 128 percent from a year ago

Total turnover for the fi rst half reached P94773 billion or 432 percent higher than the P66181 billion registered in the same period the previous year Average daily turnover stood at P764 billion an increase of 455 percent year-on-year

Skyscanner saidRussia got 17 percent and

10 percent for UKldquoRussians can be more direct when

talking which may be misconstrued as being ruderdquo said Tatiana Da-nilova Russian market manager for Skyscanner ldquoHowever this is more a difference in culture than genuine rudenessrdquo

Danilova attributed this to the Russian language which ldquois not as polite as Englishhelliprdquo

ldquoSo when Russians translate directly from Russian to English it can sound rude to an English speaker even if they donrsquot mean it tordquo Danilova ldquoRussians tend to consider British people extremely polite due to their courteous way of speakingrdquo

I once asked my mentor how I could repay him for his kindness He told me to help 100 other people and my debt would be repaid in full Irsquod like to help at least a million people It is great to be recognized by your peers but I feel I should be recognizing the commu-nity for their steadfast and unwavering support for me and my colleagues at IW Grouprdquo said Bill Imada Chairman amp CEO IW Group Inc - Philanthropy Leadership honoree

In spite of the challenging fundraising environment APCF was successful at raising more than $150000 that was dis-tributed among its 29 Affi liate Agencies which provide health and human ser-vices to Asian and Pacifi c Islander (API) and other ethnic communities in need throughout Los Angeles County The mission of APCF is to build healthier and stronger API communities working with its affi liates corporate and commu-nity partners and individuals to generate resources for this often overlooked and under-served population

In addition special grant presentations were made by Verizon and Walmart totaling $100000 For the second year Verizon is funding APCFrsquos scholarship program for students pursuing higher education in the science technology engineering and math related fi elds In a time when students are faced with signifi cantly rising costs of obtaining a college degree it is important that there is support for these students in the Asian and Pacifi c Islander communities A total of $25000 in scholarship awards will be given out in 2012

Shooting StarPoem No 9

I wish I was a shooting star streaking through the night sky

Being here and there in brief fl ash of light

And really nowhere to be found

Me in your life being caught in your universe

Running around in circles ever nearing your space

Seeking the face by which I am doomed to certain death

Like a fl ash like a bang I am nowhere to be found

Me in your life caught in your universe streaking aimlessly

towards destruction envying the celestial dance between Moon

and Sun Sun and earth earth and heaven seeking freedom

from my desolated journey in you I found destruction through

my destruction I found my freedom

Ordinario was aided by a team of radiation health staff which included deployed technicians deployed from stateside commands to support Op-eration Tomadachi ldquoThe augmented staff from different Navy Medicine Commands was vital part of being able to carry out our missionrdquo said Ordinario ldquoBeing recognized for the efforts the radiation health team did during Operation Tomadachi

Seaoil karter Gabriel Cabrera along with fellow Filipino Flynn Jackes fi nally ended the half a decade title drought for the Philippines in the Mini-ROK class of the Asian Karting Open Championshipsrsquo opening leg at the Kartodromo de Coloane in Macau The 5-leg international race series is regarded as the most prestigious karting tilt in Asia

Racing abroad for the fi rst time 12 year old Cabrera topped the time trials at 103674 despite the absence of a coach and with only his chief mechanic Joesefi lo Bariquit in tow

The Philippines enjoyed a momentous 1-2-3 moment at the time trials with Cabrera grabbing pole position followed by Xedrei Daquigan in second and Flynn Jackes in third

Enduring an abdomen injury incurred from a crash during the fi nals warm-up Cabrera nevertheless decided to continue to race in the fi nals Surging to 2nd place from 5th in the fi nal grid the excruciating pain however led Cabrera to slip to 4th place by the end of the race

Although bowing to Jackes for the top spot Cabrerarsquos admirable show of resilience and perseverance endeared him to fans and foes alike who knew of his injury In true AKOC camaraderie Cabrera even found an unlikely ally in Taiwanese rival Lin Tsen Han who along with his crew immediately as-

sisted Cabrera as he fi nally collapsed in pain at the weigh-in area

ldquoThere is no such thing as a broken spirit only broken bones But not even that can stop a Filipino karterrsquos will to winrdquo says Cabrera as he was whisked off to the Kiang Wu Hospital to receive emergency medical treatment

He eventually was stable enough to return to the track a few hours later in time to receive his 3rd runner-up trophy at the awarding ceremonies Cabrera is the son of Los Angeles-based business-man Richard Cabrera and is slated to compete in the seriesrsquo second leg later this month in Manila

Cabrera Win Hearts In Asian Karting

by Steven Buller KIvaorgAccording to a recent article in Ma-

laya Business Insight a Filipino news-paper there were 9050 bank facilities operating in the Philippines at the end of 2011 At the same time there were 15600 pawnshops and 9500 licensed

money changers that were licensed to provide fi nancial services such as remittance transactions and bill pay-ments

The Philippines are fragmented by nature The country has 7000 islands 2000 of which are inhabited Since most banks are in urban areas reaching clients on the smaller remote islands can be extremely diffi cult and costly In a country where the savings rate is abysmal many people depend on credit for everyday expenses Non-bank facilities like pawnshops which are regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (or BSP the Philippines central bank) fi ll this gap

The BSP is currently considering allowing convenience stores or ldquosari-sari shopsrdquo to become banking agents as well They would be allowed to offer a variety of services including handling remittance transactions As nearly one out of 10 Filipinos lives and works abroad remittance transactions represent a huge portion of demand for fi nancial services In fact the Philip-

pines is one of the top fi ve recipients of remittances globally receiving about USD$19 billion annually

While this informal part of the banking sector certainly promotes fi nancial inclusion the BSP has made efforts to formalize the industry In 2010 it passed an amendment to certain banking regulations allowing for banks to establish microbanking offi ces (ldquoMBOsrdquo) MBOs are much smaller and cheaper to set up than bank branches They also offer a wider range of services that are important to Filipinos including microinsurance electronic money transfers social secu-rity payouts and savings products

TFC brings RPrsquos current top screen moneymaker to 10

cities in the US

REDWOOD CITY CA July 12 2012 ndash When what seemed like an obscure little comedy fi lm starring an erstwhile perennial supporting ac-tress made a killing in the box offi ce back in 2009 grossing P80 million in six weeks the fi lm industry of the Philippines hailed the arrival of new comedy royalty in the person of Eugene Domingo

The fi lm was Kimmy Dora Kam-bal Sa Kiyeme which told the story of twins one smart and domineer-ing (Kimmy) the other slow and pure-hearted (Dora) both played by Domingo in a comic tour de force performance The latter appeared to

be the favored one of their beloved rich father Luisito Go Dong Hae (Ariel Ureta) and his handsome senior manager Johnson (Dingdong Dantes) which led to jealousy and a comedy of errors that resulted from an unintended kidnapping plot It had a happy ending though with the sisters realizing their love for each other and Kimmy fi nding a man for herself in six-packed farmer Barry (Zanjoe Marudo)

The fi lm was acclaimed for the in-credible energy and commitment of the cast led by Domingo in making the zaniest characters believable and relatable And then of course all of them were game to make serious fun of themselves including Domingo as Kimmy standing before a sexy but disinterested Dantes as Johnson

in a swimming pool delivering a hi-larious naughty spin on the famous quote from the movie Notting Hill ldquoIrsquom just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love herrdquo A clas-sic comic screen moment But this should be surpassed by the much-talked about borderline scandalous absolutely hilarious kissing scene in the sequel between the characters of Kimmy and true love Barry

Riding on the success of the original Kimmy Dora the tandem of director Joyce Bernal and writer Chris Martinez created a sequel with new twists and turns Titled Kimmy Dora amp The Temple of Kiyeme Bernal and Martinez collided humor with horror in a plot that takes the sisters to a discovery of an old family secret and a trip to South Korea to confront a vengeful spirit and reawaken the three men in the sistersrsquo lives who all have mysteri-ously fallen to sleep Be ready for unexpected characters and a thrilling ride watching the sequel

The new concept apparently worked Kimmy Dora amp The Temple of Kiyeme became only the second Filipino fi lm in 2012 so far to surpass P100 million in the box offi ce reaching almost P117 million in three weeks placing second only to The Amazing Spider-Man in the Philippines

ldquoSummer in the US is still fun and fantasy and without any doubt Kimmy Dora amp The Temple of Ki-yeme will give these to our audience in large dosesrdquo said Jun Del Rosa-rio TFC Head of Cable amp satellite Distribution and North America Marketing Strategist ldquoWe want to make sure that moviegoers here en-joy the breadth of the Filipino movie experience in US theatres so we will continue to offer quality fi lms with diverse themes for the familyrdquo

100-Day Countdown to Canonization of Filipino from Cebu

By Zena Sultana Babao Contrary to popular belief the

church is not a building It is an as-sembly of people

When Jesus said ldquoI will build my church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against itrdquo Jesus was saying that the Church ndash His chosen people ndash would not die out It would be alive a warm and caring body of believers striving to serve God do His work and support each other

Before Christ came to earth God called only a few people out of their societies to serve Him and further His work Many of them are mentioned in Hebrews 11 a chapter in the Bible we could call the ldquoFaith Hall of Famerdquo

Even as Jesus called and worked through individual leaders and prophets to do spiritual work God established a physical nation to help fulfi ll His plan This nation the descendants of Abraham through his grandson Jacob (renamed Israel by God) was also known as Godrsquos church

God had a plan for Abraham In His mission to extend His love to all humanity God chose a man who was faithful and obedient to serve as a physical and spiritual role model Abraham set an example of obedi-ence in leaving his home country at Godrsquos command not even know-ing his destination He believed God would fulfi ll His promises in spite of the seeming impossibilities involved

Those who were called and chosen for a relationship with God in the past present and future are Abra-hamrsquo spiritual descendants but God also worked through Abrahamrsquos physical descendants One of the re-sponsibilities God gave to the physi-cal nation of Israel was to represent Him to show by example that Godrsquos way works

However we read in the Bible that not only did Israel fail to set a good example for its neighboring nations but the Israelites also broke their agreement with God and even caused Godrsquos name to be blas-phemed They didnrsquot have the heart needed to fully accomplish Godrsquos will and they resisted the Holy Spirit as does all mankind without the special calling of God

But God has a plan to make a new heart available to us all and to write His laws in our mind As a result of Christrsquos sacrifi ce Godrsquos Spirit is

The Church that Christ Builtnow available to individuals of any nation or race who genuinely repent and accept Jesus Christ as their Sav-ior and Lord Godrsquos ultimate pur-pose is salvation for all people both Israelite and gentile (non-Israelite)

And here enters the next step in Godrsquos plan ndash the founding of the Church

With the coming of the promised Messiah ndash Jesus Christ of Nazareth ndash the stage was set for a new phase in Godrsquos plan of salvation This phase involves God working through a group of people ndash the Church ndash who are spiritually transformed by the Holy Spirit God chose them not only to receive salvation but to carry out Godrsquos work for the ulti-mate benefi t of all humanity

By calling and training His dis-ciples Jesus prepared them to be His apostles (messengers) and a major part of the foundation of the Church The writings of the apostles continue to teach and support the Church as do the writings of the prophets in the Old Testament who are also part of the Churchrsquos foundation

Miraculous signs marked the beginning of the New Testament Church and Godrsquos giving of the Holy Spirit God wanted to draw at-tention to this event to call a sizable initial base from which the Church would expand into the world

ldquoSo then those who are in the fl esh cannot please God But you are not in the fl esh but in the Spirit if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ he is not His (Romans 88-9)

Without Godrsquos Spirit we are not Christrsquos Yet the Church is described as belonging to Christ ndash it is His Body and Bride ndash a spiritually trans-formed people The Spirit makes that change possible

God called many to repentance and the disciples baptized many The Church grew rapidly in the be-ginning with excitement and fervor evident in the Churchrsquos early history The book of Acts reports on later times of persecution and scattering as well as the growth of individual congregations throughout the Roman Empire as the apostles spread the gospel

Jesus predicted His fl ock would remain small and beleaguered down through history False prophets would even arise within the Church

There is no vaccine or specifi c treatment for hantavirus and the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report the disease has killed 36 percent of all the people known to have contracted it

The best way to prevent the dis-ease is to keep mice out of houses garages and sheds

How to Avoid Exposure

Eliminate rodent infestations im-mediately

Avoid rodent-infested areas and do not stir up dust or materials that may be contaminated with rodent drop-pings and urine

Clean up rodent droppings and urine using the wet cleaning method described below

Use ldquowet-cleaningrdquo methods to prevent inhaling the virus

DO NOT SWEEP OR VACUUM INFESTED AREAS

Ventilate affected area by opening doors and windows for at least 30 minutes

Use rubber gloves Spray a 10 per-cent bleach solution (2 tablespoons bleach to 1 cup of water) onto dead rodents rodent droppings nests contaminated traps and surround-ing areas and let the disinfectant stand for at least 15 minutes before cleaning

Clean with a sponge or a mop Place disinfected rodents and debris into two plastic bags seal them and discard in the trash

Wash gloves in a bleach solution then soap and water and dispose of them using the same double-bag method

Thoroughly wash your bare hands with soap and water

I remember reading a pamphlet of Opus Dei a religious group about work It advised that whatever your job is no matter how insignifi cant or menial it may be you must value it You must sanctify your work by doing a perfect job then offering it to God For instance if you are a janitor assigned to clean a toilet you must make it spic and span Clean it so well that you would not mind sleeping in it Then offer your perfect job to God For God is perfection He will be pleased and you will get fulfi llment and pride in your work no matter how lowly it may appear

Once you have a job save money to support yourself to college Go to a technical school fi rst During our time we have vocational courses here at Arellano Students learned to repair cars radios and televisions and learn bookkeeping Learn a skill like automotive cooking or computer work This will help you get a better job with better pay until you save enough to go to college at night while working during the day Or you can work and save money so that you can go into business Remember Lydiarsquos Lechon Jonirsquos Bakeshop They started small Just a one-table food stand Now they are big corporations You can do the same There are count-less examples If they can do it you can do it too

Once you have a steady career you can work hard and play hard

Imagine after high school you girls did not go to college What kind of jobs can you get Salesgirls earning

a few pesos I was told salesgirls in department stores are earning only below the minimum wage Kaya marami sila nakatayo lang na parang mga manikin Thatrsquos is why there are a lot of them standing like manne-quins With their very low pay the department store owners can afford to hire all of them Hundreds of them Siguro libre ang make-up Maybe the makeup is free for I notice that all of them are wearing some Without a college diploma you might end up as a domestic help Or worse Do you want your life to be like that

Some girls are determined to get married after high school hoping their husbands would support them They dream of staying home taking care of the house and the kids and living happily ever after Do you think that is possible Look around Almost all the girls who did so are as poor as rats desperate to survive as any uneducated jobless girl can be Why Because it is beyond logic It is not realistically possible It is a dream It is a fantasy To marry early and live happily ever after is a fairy tale Hindi mo makakain ang pag-ibig You cannot eat love our parents use to say Ang pag-aasawa ay hindi parang mainit na kanin na isusubo at iluluwa pag napaso ldquoMarriage is not a hot rice that is put in the mouth only to be spat out if one gets burnedrdquo so said an old Filipino saying Okay there might be one or two lucky enough to marry well and be sup-ported by their husbands But are they happy Being dependent on some-body else Many women who married irresponsible husbands or those with little education end up sacrifi cing for

their children They end up as bread-winners with no time for themselves But why leave your future to chance Why not take control of your life yourself and carve your own bright future Why not Believe you me there is nothing better than support-ing yourself instead of depending on other people

Of course at this period of your puberty you may fall in love Falling in love at a time when you clearly cannot afford to settle down and raise a family can be confl icting This is one trial every young man and woman had to pass through Like a rite of passage One must resist temp-tations curb onersquos passion control onersquos hormones and keep onersquos eyes on the prize - of fi nishing college and launching a career During our time we had classmates who eloped in their teens Some lived poor others got separated Donrsquot miss out on be-ing a bachelor or bachelorette Enjoy the bliss of singlehood You will be shortchanging yourself denying yourself of much greater happiness if you succumb to your feelings prematurely Those feelings will pass will fade away until you realize that being heartbroken at this point in your life is the best thing that could happen to you Better to focus on your career for now

We accompanied our youngest daughter on a campus tour of a uni-versity in Washington DC The tour guide aside from explaining all the advantages of going to that school told the prospective students ldquoIf you have a boyfriend or girlfriend you are leaving behind in high school or in your hometown I am telling you now to forget them No matter how much or how passionately you love them now For after a semester in this school you will not even think that they ever existedrdquo

Crushes come and go You will experience many of them True love will come your way without you even looking for it God will introduce you to the love of your life your lifetime mate the mother or father of our chil-dren without even you looking for him or her Just focus on your studies have fun going out with your friends boys andor girls and enjoy your youth Donrsquot shortchange yourself by

being happy at fi rst by marrying early only to feel sorry the rest of your life

One way of earning a scholarship to college is by joining the school band which I hear we have This is another avenue you should consider explor-ing

Of course there are those among you lucky to have parents to support you through college Value that great opportunity Donrsquot take it for granted Having a parental support however is not a guarantee for success It de-pends on the attitude of an individual

When I was in college a cousin of mine was brought to our house from the province by his mother She requested we let her son stay in our house so that he could go to college They could not afford a dorm for him to stay My mom agreed out of the goodness of heart That cousin of mine Ely stayed with me in my room I would sleep in my bed while he slept on the fl oor Eventually he moved to my fatherrsquos printing busi-ness in Quiapo for it was walking distance to his school He wanted to become an engineer and he had the intellectual IQ to tackle and succeed in the course A year later his younger brother Mario joined him Mario took up commerce at the Polytechnic University in Manila The brothers lived in the mezzanine fl oor of the printing press rent free Later Ely had a girlfriend They went out on dates despite the limited allowance his farmer father was sending him His girlfriend got pregnant and Ely was forced to quit school and go back to their barrio Mario soon graduated and was recommended for a job at the Central Bank of the Philippines by one of his professors During one of our family gatherings in the province Mario came driving his brand new car He made it big and transformed himself from being a naiumlve barrio boy into a successful bank executive His elder brother Ely the would-be engineer was there too No he did not come in a brand new car He came driving a tricycle which he used in plying his trade as a tricycle driver Given an opportunity you must grab it by the horns Donrsquot let it go until you cross the fi nish line

(To be continued)

Followed by another comment ldquoDo we now have in you a Dr Rizal of the 21st century I BELIEVE SOrdquo

I responded with the following ldquoDanny thanks for your comments and great COMPLIMENT I have been compared to some famous men before but Dr Jose Rizal Coming from you I am taking it as a real compliment Though this reminds me of San Beda Prof Regalado (who obtained the high-est grade in Bar exams history) when he told us ldquoA praise undeserved is a slan-der in disguiserdquo Being abroad and still concerned about the Philippines there is really a Rizal in all of us It is not unlike the Propaganda Movement in Madrid Spain crying for reforms during his and Lopez Jaenarsquos time So thank you again for the complimentrdquoDuring the darkest hours of Martial Law when the Philippines was gov-erned by a dictator named Ferdinand Marcos there were also efforts abroad by both Filipino-Americans and exiled Filipinos to expose the atrocities and abuses of the dictatorial regime Like the La Solidaridad during the time of Rizal there were also publications ar-ticles and books written to infl uence and advocate changes in US policies that favored or supported dictatorial regimes The targets for these advocacies and lobbying efforts were the US Congress the White House and the US State Department

One active organization leading the propaganda efforts was the Movement for a Free Philippines (MFP) led by Raul S Manglapus and later joined by Ninoy Aquino who was imprisoned by Marcos for several years We all know what happened to Aquino at the airport in Manila while under the ldquocarerdquo of Marcos soldiers Like Rizal he also died for the Philippine cause

What also impressed me during those years was the involvement of real Filipino doctors like Rizal They cam-paigned funded and led without fear until the US administration reversed its policies and supported the Fili-pino peoplersquos desire to recapture their freedom and dignity through the People Power Revolution

So you wonrsquot go to college because you are poor - Part 2

I have traveled to several places in Asia South America Europe and North America as a student business executive and lawyer

For sometime now my wife and I have been receiving invitations to join my sister and her husband on a cruise that is usually coupled with land tours

We never got around to accepting fi rst because the cruises were too long (two weeks or more) and second the cities involved in the land tours were places we had already visited

But last month we accepted the invita-tion because the cruise was only 7 days with an additional 3 nights in Madrid Spain

I have never been to Madrid I have always wanted to see envision and trace the movements of Jose Rizal and the other members of the Propaganda Movement during a very important period in our history

I was always interested in drawing parallelisms between and among the propagandists in the 19th Century led by the likes of Jose Rizal Lopez Jaena del Pilar and other members of the Propa-ganda Movement who operated in Ma-drid those in the 20th Century such as the members of Anti-Marcos groups led by Raul Manglapus and Ninoy Aquino who operated in Washington DC and todayrsquos bloggers columnists Twitters Facebook status updaters commentators and other opinion-makers of both the main media and social networks in this 21st Century

When I wrote an article entitled ldquoOld 4Gs to New 4Gs Gaining Groundrdquo It elicited a reaction from Danny Be-navente a resident of Southern Califor-nia but born and raised in my hometown of Rosales Pangasinan Philippines

He said ldquoBrilliant Just plain bril-liant This one can resonate to as far and to the highest public offi ce in the PIrdquo

Four Keys of Life

Irsquom like most people throughout the world someone whose life has been impacted in one way or another by breast cancer In my case mem-bers of my family have dealt with it plus my sister passed away from it a few years ago There are numerous great organizations helping people and ldquoSusan G Komen for the Cure is the global leader of the breast cancer movement boasting the worldrsquos largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activ-

ists The organization has included ldquoThe Four Keys of Liferdquo to their education literature to encourage and promote breast self-awareness

The four keys1 Talk to your family There is

still hesitancy in many families to talk about personal health issues especially where ldquofemale cancersrdquo such as breast endometrial and ovarian cancer are concerned But studies have connected shared genetic components between breast cancer and other cancers that may be useful in understanding your risk

of contracting the disease Providing your doctor with your family health history may lead to a better under-standing of your personal risk

2 Get screened Your doctor will determine what screening tests are right for you For women of ldquoaverage riskrdquo clinical breast exams should begin at age 20 and be repeated every three years Annual mammograms should begin at age 40 For higher risk women addi-tional screenings such as an MRI may be recommended by your health care provider

3 Know what is normal for you Any visible or palpable changes to your breasts should be reported to your doctor These changes include a lump hard knot or thickening swelling warmth redness or darken-ing a change in the size or shape of the breast dimpling or puckering of the skin itchy scaly sore or rash on the nipple pulling in of the nipple or other part of the breast nipple discharge that starts suddenly new pain in one spot that does not go away How to perform a Breast Self-Examination (BSE) can be found at wwwkomenorgbse

4 Make healthy lifestyle choices Studies and scientifi c literature purport that maintaining a healthy weight adding exercise to your rou-tine and limiting alcohol intake may all reduce the risk of breast cancer

HistorySusan G Komen fought breast

cancer with her heart body and soul Throughout her diagnosis treatments and endless days in the hospital she spent her time thinking of ways to make life better for other women battling breast cancer instead of worrying about her own situation Moved by Susanrsquos compassion for others and commitment to mak-ing a difference Nancy G Brinker promised her sister that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer Though Susan lost her battle with the disease her legacy lives on through the work of Susan G Ko-men for the Curereg the organization Nancy started in her honor Komen for the Cure is the global leader of the breast cancer movement having invested more than $1 billion since its inception in 1982 Komenrsquos promise is to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empower-ing people ensuring quality care for

all and energizing science to fi nd the cures

In San Diego Since 1995 In 1995 a group of passionate

committed health educators and breast cancer survivors did more than just imagine They acted by founding the San Diego Affi liate of Susan G Komen for the Cure Since its inception in 1995 Komen for the Cure San Diego has awarded grants totaling more than $85 million dollars to local organizations that have made valuable contributions to breast cancer diagnostics treatment education screening and patient support Through events and dona-tions Susan G Komen for the Cure is able to bring funding and hope to the fi ght against breast cancer Each year the Komen Race for the Cure and the Breast Cancer 3- Dayreg raise signifi cant funds and awareness for breast cancer celebrating breast cancer survivorship and honoring those who have lost their battle with the disease With pledges from these events and donations throughout the year strides are being made to continue the quest for a cure

Each year 75 percent of proceeds are awarded through a grant process to local organizations Each grantee conducts a program that offers breast cancer education screening or treat-ment to residents in the San Diego area

The remaining 25 percent is directed to the Susan G Komen for the Cure National Grant Program to fund research on a national and in-ternational level Since the Affi liatersquos inception in 1995 nearly $7 million has been given to local organizations that provide breast cancer education screening diagnostics treatment and patient support for the uninsured or underinsured in San Diego County

Change the system Be the solution You can be the difference You can

help end breast cancer forever The Komen Champions for the Curereg advocacy program is focused on educating Congress federal offi cials state legislators and other policy makers about breast cancer through community involvement Komen Champions for the Cure was in-spired by the commitment and force of Komen volunteers who want to join the fi ght

From breast cancer research to early detection and quality care Ko-men Champions for the Cure aims to

infl uence the federal government on crucial breast cancer issues by con-tacting Members of Congress By challenging candidates and those in public offi ce to make breast cancer a priority you can change the system and you can be the solution to breast cancer

Exercise May Reduce Risk of Breast Cancer

Being physically active is one of the best things you can do for your health Exercise may help lower your risk of developing or dying from breast cancer

The Church that Christ built

(Continued from page 4)

dividing and diluting its message These prophecies indeed came to pass False teachers introduced a host of different doctrines and practices in the church The Bible shows that Satan the being ultimately behind this counterfeit Christianity has deceived the whole world and that Satanrsquos ministers usually appear as ministers of righteousness

Satanrsquos inroads into the Church were so rampant at this stage near the end of the First Century that true Chris-

tians were actually excommunicated from some congregations

Although Satan has repeatedly at-tacked and tried to destroy it the Church has not died out Though the details have often been hard to fi nd in history Godrsquos Church created by Jesus Christ has survived the worst persecutions of the Roman Empire and the Dark Ages as well as the attacks of more recent times

Somewhere on earth members of the small fl ock have always continued to serve God to the best of their under-standing and ability Today the Church that Christ built continues as a small but active and faithful body striving to spread Godrsquos good news in a faithless world ndash zenasultanahotmailcom

IMMIGRATION 911 By Atty Susan V Perez

While there is a shortage for nurses in the United States there is still no indication when USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) will resume issuing immigrant visas to fi ll the void There are many skilled and experienced foreign nurses in the United States who are looking for jobs in vari-ous hospitals and healthcare facilities Hospitals and health care facilities want to utilize their skills and services but there arenrsquot immigrant visas available because of the retrogression Irsquove talked to Filipino registered nurses who have been waiting for the immigrant visa for a long time and are willing to take nonimmigrant visas

THE H-1B NONIMMIGRANT VISAThe H-1B program allows employers

to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise in a specialized fi eld and a bachelorrsquos degree or its equivalent Typical H-1B occupations include architects engineers computer programmers accountants doctors and college professors Certain specialty occupations in the nursing industry may qualify for H-1B nonimmigrant status Specifi cally a narrow group of nurses holding a baccalaureate or higher degree (or equivalency) in nursing that includes advanced practice nurses (such as Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS) Nurse Practitioners (NP) Certifi ed Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA) and Certifi ed Nurse-Midwives (CNM)) nurse managers and nursing adminis-trators may qualify for H-1B status According to USCIS data the issuance of H-1B visas for specialty occupation nurses varies greatly from year to year In recent history the greatest number of H-1B nurse visas issued in any given fi scal year was only 136 The H-1B visa for specialty occupation nurses is avail-able to qualifi ed nurses from all foreign countries However the limited scope of eligible specialty occupations greatly narrows the potential use of the H-1B to fi ll US nursing job vacancies For instance many RNs may not qualify for an H-1B because employers and state licensing boards do not usually require a BSN to perform services as a registered nurse On June 11 2012 the H-1B cap has been reached and USCIS stopped accepting applications for H-1B The next H-1B season will be open on April 1 2013

THE H-1C NONIMMIGRANT VISAThe H-1C nonimmigrant classifi ca-

tion enables foreign nurses to perform services as a registered nurse in a US health professional shortage area as determined by the US Department of Labor To qualify for an H-1C visa both the employer and employee must meet certain eligibility criteria The US employer must 1) be a ldquosubsection (d)rdquo hospital under the Social Security Act 2) be located in a ldquoHealth Profes-sional Shortage Areardquo 3) have at least 190 acute care beds 4) have a Medicare population of no less than 35 5) have a Medicaid population of less than 28 and 5) be certifi ed by the Department of Labor

Since the H1-C nonimmigrant visa program sunset on December 20 2009 visas for hundreds of nurses have expired or will expire soon leaving H-1C authorized healthcare employers struggling to provide much-needed pro-fessional nursing care with a dwindling nursing staff HR 1933 is currently pending before the US Senate Judiciary

Committee which would reauthorize the H-1C nonimmigrant visa program Ac-cording to recent information provided by this committee HR 1933 remains on its agenda but is not yet scheduled for a Senate vote As drafted the bill will reauthorize the availability of 300 H-1C visas for an initial validity period of three years with the opportunity to renew H-1C status for an additional three years There is however no guar-antee that HR 1933 will be approved and become a law

THE H-3 TRAINEE VISAThe H-3 visa is a rarely used option

available to temporary workers includ-ing nurses The primary purpose of this visa is to enable the foreign nurse to receive training and not to provide productive employment unless such employment is incidental and necessary to the training It is better than the F-1 or student visa because they get paid during the training

The H-3 trainee has been defi ned by the Code of Federal Regulations as ldquoa nonimmigrant who seeks to enter the United States at the invitation of an individual or organization for the purposes of receiving training in any fi eld of endeavor such as agriculture commerce communications fi nance government transportation as well as training in a purely industrial establish-mentrdquo1 Physicians are not eligible to apply under this category but nurses are For nurses the basic requirements are 1) the proposed training is unavailable in the home country 2) the training is designed to benefi t the applicant in pur-suing her career in the home country 3) the nurse has passed the licensure exam in the country where she obtained her nursing education and 4) a statement from the petitioning employer that the applicant is fully qualifi ed to engage in the training

It is important that the employer dem-onstrate that the trainee will be returning to another country to use the skills he or she gained in the United States At the interview the applicant nurse must show that he or she will not abandon residence in a foreign country and that he or she intends to depart the United States at the end of the training program Therefore the H-3 petition may be denied if the applicant nurse has a certifi ed perma-nent labor certifi cation or has an I-140 Immigrant Petition fi led by the same employer on his or her behalf

The training program should not be longer than two (2) years There will be no extension change of status or re-admission to H or L status granted after two (2) years unless the alien resided and is physically present outside the United States for six (6) months This is not too bad compared to the J-1 trainee

who is required to stay in his or her home country for two years Spouses and children of the H-3 visa holder are eligible for H-4 dependent status

H-3 visa holders are given social security numbers and will be paid while undergoing the training However they should not be receiving as much as the regular employees because this can be perceived as displacing the US citizens

Philippine Star | Manila Philippines 792012 - The province of Bohol is out to reclaim its post as the top tourist destination in the country

This is the newfound vision of the government of Bohol which recently launched its newest tourism campaign mdash dubbed ldquoBohol Heart of the Islands Truly Philippinesrdquo mdash in partnership with Philippine Bohol Arts Foundation Institute (PABFI) and the provincersquos tourism stakeholders

Aimed at immensely boosting local and foreign tourist arrivals and making the province the countryrsquos preferred travel desti-nation the campaign showcases Boholrsquos rich cultural and historical heritage highlighting its rich eco-cultural value beyond the Chocolate Hills and the diminutive tarsiers the worldrsquos smallest primate

ldquoOther than the usual sites that are being promoted here the Loboc River the Chocolate Hills the tarsi-ers and the white sand beaches of Panglao there is more to discover in Bohol that will make a greater tourism impact not only for the province but also in relation to the Philippine context of promoting the countryrdquo said Bohol Governor Edgar Migrintildeo Chatto

The event held at the Centennial Hall in Manila Hotel gathered key public offi cials and tourism leaders

More Fun in the Philippines Bohol rolls out new tourism campaignincluding Manila Hotel president and former senator Joey Lina Philippine Tour Operators As-sociation (PHILTOA) president Cesar Cruz and Tourism Secre-tary Ramon Jimenez Jr

Others who graced the event were prominent travel program personalities Susan Calo Medina and Cory Quirino PBAFI execu-tive director Ria Cauton Tigum Bol-anon Tibuok Kalibutan (TBTK) president Betty Garcia Bohol Provincial Council chair Lucas Nunag board members of the province of Bohol and Amor Maclang director for PR and Communications of GeiserMa-

Bohol Governor Edgar Chatto and De-partment of Tourism Secretary Ramon Jime-nez shake hands during the unveiling of the Bohol campaign Bohol Heart of the Islands Truly Philippines

clang Marketing Communications Inc (GMCI) who later presented the marketing framework of the campaign

Located in Central Visayas Bohol literally sits in the heart of the Philippine archi-pelago Boasting diving sites revered as among the best worldwide the province is home to a number of natural wonders such as mdash aside from the Chocolate Hills mdash the biggest mangrove planta-tion in Asia and the Dajanon Bank the lone double-barrier reef in the region and one of

only six such marine structures in the world

Chocolate Hills do turn green during the rainy season

Apart from its diverse marine and terrestrial life and picturesque land-scapes a unique element that makes Bohol a truly quintessential Filipino destination is the great display of the remarkable and lively dynam-ics between the Filipinosrsquo inherent animistic and Catholic cultures

ldquoBohol and its people have a cer-tain respect and appreciation for her-itage and traditionrdquo Chatto shared ldquoThis is why we have come up with this campaign to highlight the capti-vating charm that Bohol exudes and the heartwarming hospitality offered by Boholanos themselvesrdquo

One of the things that Bohol would like to promote and enrich through its new tourism campaign is the element of nationalistic pride ldquoBy showing everyone how Boholanos have preserved practices and beliefs that other Filipinos have already

seemed to forget we are also able to emphasize the value of cherishing their heritagerdquo PBAFI executive Ria Cauton noted ldquoIn an age when our culture are soaked in various colonial ideas and infl uences thatrsquos really something that has become rarerdquo

Boholrsquos colorful history can be seen all over the prov-ince mdash especially when one looks upon its well-preserved Hispanic structures scattered

all over like the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in

Dauis which attracts thousands of devout Catholics every year and the Church of Our Lady of the Immacu-late Conception in Baclayon which is touted as Asiarsquos best-preserved Jesuit church

In addition other reasons that permit the province to say ldquoYou canrsquot say yoursquove been to the Philip-pines and truly experienced Filipino culture without having gone to Bo-holrdquo are its rich and distinct culinary offerings vibrant nightlife thriving art scene and ancestral craft-making practices All of these underscore the fact that indeed one of Boholrsquos main assets is its hospitable con-stantly jovial and honest people

ldquoYou donrsquot have to be from Bohol to love Boholrdquo revealed Secretary Jimenez ldquoItrsquos simply being part of a rich cultural experience that makes a visit to Bohol unforgettable The Loboc Childrenrsquos Choir for ex-ample has become a symbolic icon of the province precisely because as an American friend who heard them once said lsquoYou cannot sing the way they do if you are not happyrsquordquo

Take a fl oating lunch cruise along the Lob-oc River in Bohol

Corella is another inland town some 10 km north of Tagbilaran Bohol In Corella you can visit the Tarsier Sanctuary where tarsiers are observed protected and are freely living on its natural habitat

Just like in any part of the world a certain place will always have a spe-cifi c food that will be considered as its ldquospecialtyrdquo In Bohol Philippines there are also a lot of foods that tour-ists must try These Bohol foods are highly recommended that one must not leave Bohol without eating such foods otherwise their stay would not be very memorable

The Bohol food that tourists must try if they are by the Alona Beach is seafood The most recommended one is prawns Oftentimes this type of Bohol food is grilled One of the restaurants in Bohol that offer seafood is JASZ Restaurant This is a recommended restaurant because prices are affordable Other Bohol restaurants by the Alona Beach that offer seafood are the Panglao Beach Resort Restaurant Trudi and The Pyramid

Those who are not much into seafood may try dining at another Bohol restaurant called the Loboc River Cruise Lunch Recommended Bohol foods offered here include omelette grilled vegetables pork and chicken barbeque Seafood lov-ers are also suggested to visit this place as it serves superb seafood like lapu-lapu fi sh calamari and tigerprawns Tourists are suggested to have desert such as fresh fruits The prices of the Bohol foods at the Loboc River Cruise Lunch are quite expensive However nothing beats the taste of its foods as everything is just so delicious

If tourists want a Western-themed restaurant they must try out the Gar-den Cafeacute ndash American that is located in Tagbilaran City Placing orders at this restaurant is quite different from the usual restaurants that we go to One has to write down the orders and hand it over to the waitress This

The Metamorphosis

by Ernie Delfi n

THE METAMORPHOSISby Ernie D Delfi n America just turned 236 years

old In its over two centuries his-tory America has gone through the fi re that made it strong and stable Through countless trials during her lifetime such as the Civil War two World Wars many foreign wars like the Vietnam War and Iraqi War and civil unrests to name a few many American lives have been sacrifi ced to fi ght for what she believes in The last several years economic depressions or recessions that impoverished millions of people have become top issues in the country that have energized Amer-icans to debate intensely what is the right course for their country to pursue to better serve the well-being of her citizens and to bring back the luster and glory of America Due to national concerns on many is-sues like health care housing and global concerns on trade peace and foreign aid against the backdrop of an emerging superpower China Americarsquos national priorities and foreign policies will see a shift that will cause radical changes in this na-tion This election year will be an-other defi ning moment for America to steer Americansrsquo desire for their government to do to preserve its sta-tus as a superpower and envy of the world Despite its socio-economic problems and several foreign policy blunders that caused a signifi cant decline in Americarsquos infl uence in the world the last decade or so Ameri-cans are still a very lucky people as we are still guaranteed justice liberty and the pursuit of our own happiness that more than half of the earthrsquos population can just dream about

With that as a background I am quite grateful and fulfi lled this Independence Day 2012 as I also celebrated another birthday on July 5th (Philippine time) which is July 4th in America As 4th of July is a major holidays in the United States it has always been an opportune time for me to review my life and refl ect upon lifersquos meaning during this holiday amidst the elaborate fi re-works that surround the city where we live Having lived for over six decades now on this planet 60 of which in the American soil I can-not ask for more as I feel that I have had a ldquogood liferdquo on this earth with people I love and who love me too

The last 365 days since my last birthday were replete with surprises

events experiences and personal episodes that made me quite grateful that I am still alive and happy Like America as a person grows older (and wiser) his priorities change but his core values that serve as his compass remains constant That inexplicable feeling of joy and happiness as well as pains and suf-ferings often come to our lives as certain as the sunrise in the morning and sunset in the evening The past year has caused in me a good mix of human emotions happy sad scared regretful (for many things I have done or not done) hopeful and grateful that I am still alive and kicking today Less than a year ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and to the best of my memory I am the fi rst in my family to be stricken with that dreadful ldquoCrdquo ailment Such unexpected diagnosis from my annual medical exams has caused a very high degree of anxiety and ldquopains and sufferingrdquo within me and my family However I discovered solace and strength in my new found spiritual journey accepting that our Lord not us is in control of our lives and has admonished His people to ldquoBe not afraidrdquo Surprisingly I learned that His ldquoBe-not-afraid- advicerdquo appeared in the Bible 365 times

Thanks to my God the greatest Healer months after my surgery early this year my doctor told me that I am now a cancer survivor as my PSA level is now at negligible level He told me that he doesnrsquot want to see me more than twice a year now

Amidst that scary episode how-ever I also enjoyed many things during the past year like our month long adventure to Vienna Rome London and Paris with my one and only wife of over 30 years as our second honeymoon (many will be smiling or LOL with that bold disclosure) Another inventory of joyful accomplishments included the successful chartering of the Global Kalinga e-Rotary Club fi rst e- Club in Rotary District 3780 (and the second one in the entire Philip-pines) that I initiated and founded last year with 40 charter members who live in 6 countries that is expected to double by our fi rst An-niversary date in Oct 2012

This e-Rotary Club is like an infant that remains so tender and fragile that it needed a lot of patience and nourishment to grow But like lov-ing parents many of our committed

Independence Day 2012 and Birthday Refl ections

members are matured and patient enough to nurture this e-Rotary baby to develop it to become an Olym-pian athlete to compete in the near future Our GKeRotary Club has now members from many nationalities like Caucasians Hispanics Blacks Canadians Nigerians and Filipinos (from Luzon to Mindanao) who reside in as many 6 countries today As we grow in number with closer camaraderie among us doing many meaningful ldquoService Above Selfrdquo humanitarian proj-ects in the Philippines as well as in the city where we live we will have more FUN in this borderless e-Rotary Club than the traditional Rotary Club that meets weekly

Please visit us at wwwrotarye-clubGlobalKalingaD3780org and wwwgkerotarycom Should you desire to know more about E-Rotary or if you want to join us wherever you are in the world please contact this Rotarian leader at my email at end of this column

Adhering to the ldquoSecretsrdquo in achieving a fulfi lled life by con-scious efforts (until they become unconscious efforts) to ldquobalanc-ing your Liferdquo into its essential quadrants PHYSICAL (to live) MENTAL (to learn) SOCIAL (to love) and SPIRITUAL (to leave a legacy) I have consciously put more time in one area that matters most (once you are over 60 like me) the ldquoleaving a legacyrdquo quadrant Itrsquos a fact of life that when you become a senior citizen you can no longer do many things nor eat many foods that you enjoyed when you were one and twenty when you were in high school or college so you simply adjust to your new reality Each morning that you wake up and able to walk and see the sunrise hear the chirping of birds smell the aroma of freshly brewed Healthy Coffee itrsquos always a small miracle and you thank the One Who gave you life Having accepted my own mortality that one day I will also meet my Maker I have replaced a good por-tion of ldquobusinessrdquo hours into vol-unteerism or ldquoService Above Selfrdquo hours in my church and several NGOs like the Rotary Interna-tional that truly render humanitarian works to others

Also for about fi ve years now I have been attending a weekly morn-ing Bible Study that has contributed greatly in the balancing of my life that is very hard to do in a materi-alistic society like the USA The word BIBLE has been creatively defi ned to mean ldquoB asic L essons B efore L eaving E arthrdquo and in so many ways it lsquos true All of us homo sapiens undergo that human journey like the biblical ldquoprodigal sonrdquo who must leave the family home goes away (to experience new things both good and bad) and hopefully comes back home (to his Father) as he must undergo some profound changes (for his own salvation) Life without any kind of metamorphosis the caterpillar would never become a beautiful and colorful butterfl y So does a person must undergo many phases of his transformation to enjoy his journey on this earth before he goes into that blissful state that many call Heaven or Paradise

Additionally last year I also fi nished by certifi cation classes and has been ldquocertifi edrdquo by the Diocese of Orange and the Orange County Sheriff to wear a white badge as a ldquoRestorative Justice Ministerrdquo aka ldquoPrison Detention Ministerrdquo where we visit and minister to the inmates in the Orange County Jails every week for Bible Study andor Catholic Com-munion Services every week

Meeting these ldquoinmatesrdquo (thatrsquos what they are called in County Jails in state or federal prison the incarcerated are called ldquoprisonersrdquo) and listening to them and ministering to their ldquospiritualrdquo needs on a weekly basis have an-nihilated many myths and miscon-ceptions that I used to hold ldquoagainstrdquo them Due to some educational and cultural biases I used to believe that all those in prison deserved to be there as they are ldquobadrdquo criminals but slowly I have softened that stand I now believe that although these in-mates are incarcerated they are still human beings also who still possess their human dignity as children of the same God Many martyrs and saints of the church like St John the Baptist and St Paul were also in prison The prison system is a part of the human society since biblical times and its worsening conditions in many areas are a sad refl ection of all of us en of the same God Many martyrs and our lives and He has admonished His people to ldquo

Punishments and Restorative

Justice are two schools of thoughts that are being administered in many prisons today The Catholic and many Christian churches advo-

cate that more must be done in the rehabilitation or in the Restorative Justice of inmates or prisoners in the Justice System to give back their human dignity even when they are incarcerated

Being a Prison Detention Minister and just listening and observing these inmates during our Catholic Communion Services that we do for them is another human experience

that can potentially convert a sinner like me into a better human being For instance I got an unexpected education from one woman inmate

when she declared ldquoI am now very happy that I was arrested for what I did I consider my arrest as my own rescue from a certain deathrdquo What a paradigm shift Now I can understand why there are many spiritual conversions that occur in prison because God does not leave a person wherever he is because He is everywhere

To any practicing Catholic (or any religion for that matter)

out there I highly recommend that he or she tries to see if becoming a Prison Detention or Restorative Jus-tice Minister is right for him or her It is a wonderful experience There is a great need for more dedicated and willing volunteers to minister to the spiritual needs of this growing prison population in America today

The foregoing column is a very sobering personal refl ection on

this 4th of July weekend that I am boldly sharing to all readers and my friends with a ray of hope that some may also be inspired to be an-other ldquoLamp in the City on the Hillrdquo for others to see the inexplicable wonders of God as He has mysteri-ously converted Saul the Christian persecutor into St Paul to become a great and fearless evangelist of our Christian faith

the maintenance of peace and stability respect for interna-tional law and unimpeded lawful commerce in the South China Seardquo

Clinton welcomed the meeting saying a slew of joint initiatives including disaster relief forestry policy and disease control were ldquoan important signal that the US and China not only can but will work together in Asiardquo

No threats and intimidationClinton also urged claimant

countries not to resort to threats and intimidation an indirect reference to China

ldquoWe believe the nations of the region should work collabora-tively and diplomatically to resolve disputes without coercion without intimidation without threats and without use of forcerdquo Clinton said

ldquoIssues such as freedom of navi-gation and lawful exploitation of maritime resources often involve a wide region and approaching them strictly bilaterally could be a recipe for confusion and even confronta-tionrdquo Clinton added

The US said stability is its concern in the waterway which carries $5 trillion in ship-borne trade account-ing for half the worldrsquos shipping tonnage

ldquoThe United States is going to be very clear in our determination to see progress on the code of conduct between those negotiations that are taking place between China and ASEANrdquo a senior US State Depart-ment offi cial told reporters earlier this week

Clearly outline positionClinton likewise urged ASEAN na-

tions ldquoto clearly outline its position on the Scarborough Shoalrdquo and ldquoto complete a regional code of conduct in a timely fashionrdquo

She warned about serious prob-lems to the regional bloc if ASEAN fails to address the challenge

ldquoWhat might be a challenge today for some of ASEANrsquos members if left unaddressed by all of ASEAN could lead tomorrow to issues that may become problems for other ASEAN membersrdquo she said

Clinton said the US ldquolooks to ASEAN and claimant states to provide leadership in this issue and recognizes the important role of the ASEAN chairman to fi nd consensus and advance a common ASEAN positionrdquo

ldquoASEAN needs to meet its own goals and standards and be able to speak with one voice on issues fac-ing the regionrdquo Clinton said

ASEANrsquos 10 members announced earlier this week that they have drafted a set of rules governing maritime rights and navigation and procedures for when governments disagree But China is not a member of the group and hasnrsquot agreed to anything

The ASEAN countries are present-

ing their proposal to China at this weekrsquos conference in Cambodiarsquos capital though Beijing will probably want to water down any language that ties its hands

For the US the diffi cult diplomacy ahead could be a major test of the Obama administrationrsquos efforts to ldquopivotrdquo American power toward the worldrsquos most populous continent Just speaking out on the subject already has helped the US deepen ties with Vietnam and relations are warming with other governments in the region

But countless meetings between American and Chinese offi cials have not led to progress on a lasting solution

Various longstanding disputes among China the Philippines Viet-nam Taiwan Malaysia and Brunei involve the arearsquos busy sea-lanes and many observers fear the compli-cated web of disputes could spark a violent confl ict

The standoff between China and the Philippines in Panatag (Scarbor-ough) Shoal began in April when the Philippines accused Chinese fi sher-men of poaching in its exclusive economic zone including the shoal During the tensions both sides sent government ships to the area though both have since withdrawn vessels

Vietnam has protested a recent an-nouncement by the China National Offshore Oil Corp opening nine oil and gas lots for international bidders in areas overlapping with existing Vietnamese exploration blocks Viet-nam says the lots lie entirely within its 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone and continental shelf

When conditions are ripeWith the ASEAN set to start

negotiations with China on a code of conduct Beijing said it is willing to work with member countries ldquowhen the conditions are riperdquo

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokes-person Liu Weimin said in a press conference in Beijing Monday that the code of conduct is not for the resolution of disputes in the West Philippine Sea

ldquoI would like to emphasize that the code of conduct aims not at resolv-ing the South China Sea disputes but boosting mutual trust and coopera-tion between the parties concerned in a joint bid to maintain peace and stability in the South China Seardquo Liu said

Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario for his part told the ASEAN meeting that ldquothe adher-ence of all countries in the region to a set of fair and transparent rules as embodied in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea will generate greater mutual trust and respect in the regionrdquo ndash AP Pia Lee-Brago

survive one must have a job but for one to prosper one must engage in business

For this I am not worried about my daughter She will never be unemployed a victim of closing or streamlining companies She has her own business with no overheads and she is in a higher notch than when she started and contin-ues to spiral up in her virtual store

Of course this is not for everyone This is not for the comfortable not for those who do not blaze trails not for the non-dreamers defi nitely not for those who choose to be with the ninety-fi ve percent of society who choose to be ordinary

Only fi ve percent of society dares to swim against the tides These are the likes of Steve Jobs Donald Trump Bill Gates and others like those who became millionaires in Amway

Knowing my daughter and if I am not mistaken I predict that she will persevere and succeed She is guided by the Scriptures and books written by those who have made it She is so disci-plined that she does not even watch TV She says Jessica Sanchez and Manny Pacquaio will not help her become fi -nancially free They could entertain you but when you go back to reality you are still in whatever state you are

AS THE BAMBOOS SWAY By Rudy D Liporada

A couple from church introduced Am-way to me in 1987 They showed a plan telling me that I could be a millionaire in two to fi ve years if I buy from my own store ndash soaps (both laundry and body) beauty products vitamins and many more ndash and share the dream with others

I did not care I just landed in America just two weeks before I came to Amer-ica to work in pursuit of my own kind of dream Besides even if I wanted to I did not have $8000 then to register plus I did not have lsquoothersrsquo to share dreams with

Fast forward to late 2010 My only daughter and youngest of my children then 18 gets wind of Amway She asks for $16700 so she could register to be-come what Amway calls an Independent Business Owner Although reluctant I shelled out the money After all it was not for drugs or something like that Then she tells us among others to buy from her store what we would be buying from other stores anyway Why make the other stores profi t when we should be patronizing her store The prices were competitive She changed our soaps toothpastes her momrsquos make-up kit drinks vitamins etc I did not really care To me shaving cream is shaving

cream laundry soap is laundry soap My daughter is happy I am happy

What I did not really know was she was growing her market She had others join her in her dream

In late 2010 she had to attend an Amway convention in Portland Oregon with her dozen team members ndash no one was over 21 years old They were going on a long drive for eighteen hours They needed two vans but no rent-a-car would allow them to rent the vehicles Grudg-ingly I acceded to her request that I and her mom rent one each of those vans and might as well join them ndash might as well be in the convention

And so we were there In front of ten thousand participants

couple after couple testifi ed how they realized their dream sharing Amway products They were former waitresses accountants doctors construction workers Navy Seals etc On gargantuan screens they fl aunted their villas jets yachts high end cars and their pleasure trips around the world They said that through patience and hard work for two to fi ve years they sailed to becoming millionaires ndash now waking up whenever they want and being full time moms and dads

I believed them If only one of them would be lying in front of ten thousand people the institution Amway would crumble down

Then I was angry There was this guy same as my age was a teacher like me He was on the stage as a millionaire and I was down there listening to him and I have nothing to show He got into Amway in the middle 90rsquos Deng It was introduced to me in 1987

I started reading their brochures and catalogs I came to the conclusion that mathematically you could really get rich doing this thing All you needed is the belief the emotional quotient strive patience and most of all your dreams

Nonetheless beyond the business be-yond the products beyond the dreams I treasure most what Amway has done to my daughter Instead of continuing to party like most of her peers she is reading the Bible upon waking up and follows this up with management and business related books She is in power business cloths instead of showing her belly buttons Most important before Amway she fi ghts with her mom Now they are the best of friends

So I tell my friends and acquaintances about Amway and its products Most of them because the company has been there for over 50 years have heard of it have been into it and have notions about it This is because Amway is the mother of networking and Amway stands for the American Way

Most of them too after I show or reshow them the product benefi ts and the principle of buying from your own store go back to Amway if they have been there before The main thing is all of them agree to the greatness of the products and appreciate the evolved and developed marketing system of the com-pany ndash for those in the know one does not have to horde products anymore to sell everything now is done on-line And if you are not computer suave one in the organization will do it for you because you at least know how to use your cell phone or you can directly call in the orders

Robert T Kiyosaki in his book Rich Dad Poor Dad says that in order for one to be fi nancially free one must have a business He means for one to only

Avoid immorality Every other sin a person commits is outside the body but the immoral person sins against his own body Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you whom you have from God and that you are not your own For you have been purchased at a price Therefore glo-rify God in your body (1Cor 618-20) I urge you therefore brothers by the mercies of God to offer your bodies as a living sacrifi ce holy and pleasing to God your spiritual worshipDo not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind that you may discern what is the will of God what is good and pleasing and perfect (Rom 121-2)

Sa aking buhay iniwasang pilit ang magkamali ang anuman gagawin korsquoy pag-iisipan ng mulikahit magdamagan pa ang gagawaing pagsusurisulit ang lahat bastarsquot walang mararamdamang hapdi

Sa aking buhay napagtanto ko ng tunay na tunayna kailanpaman ay walang lugar ang kasamaandahil kung mali din lamang ang tunay mong dahilanay talagang walang maganda itong kahihinatnan

Ngayon kung maitatanong ko naman----- sa buhay mo

Joke of the Week Bill had a good friend who was a minister of long years standing They used to josh one another occasionally ldquoYou reverend think yoursquore so hotrdquo said Bill one day ldquoAfter all yoursquore only about 50 percent effective About half of the babies you baptize donrsquot stay Christians about half of the adults you convert donrsquot stay con-verted and about half the people you marry donrsquot stay marriedrdquo ldquoWersquore 100 percent on one pointrdquo answered his minister friend ldquoIf I were a bet-ting man Irsquod give you 1000 to1odds that all the people we bury stay buriedrdquo

Scriptures First Reading Jer-emiah 23 1-6 In Jeremiahrsquos time the people of the northern kingdom of Israel had been exiled to Assyria and the Israelites in the southern kingdom of Judah had been deported to Babylon There were lots of dev-astated lives and broken hearts The kings and leaders did not live up as true shepherds The prophet speaks of hope out of this dismal condi-tion God will raise a new shepherd who will rule with righteousness and unite Israel and Judah Sec-ond Reading Ephesians 2 13-18 Through Christ all religious barriers between Hebrews and non-Hebrews or Gentiles are now demolished Through Christrsquos redemptive work of salvation and reconciliation those who are ldquofar offrdquo and ldquonearrdquo are now brought together All have access to the Father with the Spirit

Gospel Mark 6 30-34 In the fi rst reading God renews the promise he made to his people 1) to bless hu-manity by bringing it back to a land where it can bear fruit abundantly

(an allusion to Genesis) 2) to raise a new king who shall rule his people justly and rightly (a promise made to Abraham and David) Christian view the blessing at creation story of Gen-esis and the promise of a new leader are both fulfi lled in Jesus Christ

Refl ections The Hebrew word for shepherd does not only mean a king and ruler it also connotes the notion of feeding defending caring

and providing Jeremiah denounced the shepherds of his time who cared for themselves alone and not for the fl ock that were entrusted to them From the Christian point of view Jesus Christ is the shepherd who restores hope to new Israel In turn Jesus wants his apostles to continue his shepherding mission

Reginald Fuller commented that in this Marcan passage the term ldquoapostlesrdquo was not originally a title but a function Jeremiah condemned Zedekiah and the last kings of Judah as shepherds who have misled the people These corrupt shepherds paid more attention to their own selfi sh vested interests than those of the fl ock The Marcan passage is implying that the apostles should

avoid committing the same serious mistake In Matthew 23 6-7 Jesus told his disciples ldquoThey (Scribes and Pharisees) love places of honor at banquets seats of honor in syna-gogues greetings in marketplaces and the salutation lsquoRabbirsquordquo The apostles are told not to put more emphasis on title such as ldquoapostlerdquo and less on responsibilities that come with it Instead they should put more weight on their duties and responsibilities Titles such as ldquodoctor teachers bishop reverend engineer lawyerrdquo denote functions and responsibilities But when a title gains more prominence than the re-sponsibilities that come with it title divides rather than unites people

PSYCHOLOGISTS HAVE PROPOSED THE FASCINATING CONCEPT OF THE DYAD (Greek dyacuteo ldquotwordquo) or bi-polar archetype Common functionaries such as doc-torpatient lawyerclient ministerparishioner and parents children are some archetypal roles Many of these roles are essentially linked to a partnering archetype hence the term dyad archetype To stress the supe-rior pole of the archetype doctor lawyer minister and parents over the other pole patient client parish-ioner and children breaks the dyad and negatively impacts both poles For instance a doctor who fails to recognize that there is a ldquophysi-cianrdquo in his patient breaks down the therapeutic relationship between him and his patient The same is true with a teacher who fails to see that he too is a ldquostudentrdquo who can learn from his students Ministers who forget that they too are in need of salvation treat their parishioners as inferiors Parents become domineer-ing and overbearing when they fail to learn from their children On the other hand the dyad is also broken when the inferior pole is emphasized over the superior pole When both poles recognize each otherrsquos strength and draw energies to enhance each otherrsquos well being there is true heal-ing learning ministering parenting and spirituality

We read in todayrsquos Gospel that Jesus invited his apostles to take a break from their tiresome activities Likewise we seek scenic vistas sun-ny beaches quiet and private places

to relax and unwind Leonardo da Vinci wrote ldquoEvery now and then go away have a little relaxation for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose power of judgment hellip Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be take in at a glance and lack of harmony or proportion is more readily seenrdquo Jesus mindful of his apostlesrsquo need for a breather after a hectic mission asked them to rest a while It was a rest aimed at energizing the apostles with the divine presence that would enable them to be more effective in their mission Onersquos summer vacation can also be an occasion to recharge our spiritual battery

ldquoNot without design does God write the music of our lives Be it ours to learn the time and not be discouraged at the rests If we say sadly to ourselves lsquoThere is no music in a restrsquo let us not forget there is the making of music in it The making of music is often a slow and painful process in this life How patiently God works to teach us How long He waits for us to learn the lessonrdquo (John Ruskin)

Quotation of the Week ldquoIf you keep a bow always bent it will break eventually but if you let it go slack it will be fi t for use when you want itrdquo Aesop

Spirituality in Dyadic Relationship

Spiritual Courage

Courage is connected with taking

risks Jumping the Grand Can-yon on a motorbike coming over Niagara Falls in a barrel or crossing the ocean in a rowboat are called courageous acts because people risk their lives by doing these things But none of these daredevil acts comes from the centre of our being They all come from the desire to test our physical limits and to become famous and popular

Spiritual courage is something completely different It is following the deepest desires of our hearts at the risk of losing fame and popular-ity It asks of us the willingness to lose our temporal lives in order to gain eternal life

Cayabyab lauds ABS-CBN Philharmonic

OrchestraABS CBN News | MANILA Phil-

ippines -- Acclaimed composer Ryan Cayabyab lauded the newly formed ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra which will make its fi rst major public debut at the ldquoIcons at the Arenardquo con-cert at the SM Mall of Asia Arena

Rehearsing this afternoon was a breeze The rare event on Saturday combines only the best Filipino art-ists together in the concert with the best musicians of the ABS-CBN Phil-harmonic What more can I ask for as musical director Ang ganda at ang sarap ng tugtuganrdquo said Cayabyab who is the musical director of

the all-star OPM concertCayabyab who composed OPM

classics such as Kay Ganda ng Ating Musika called the orchestra the newest most exciting addition to the top artists of the Kapamilya Network

He praised the orchestra members as arguably the best crossover musi-cians of the country who can perform all types and genres of music led by

a formidable music director Gerard Salonga

Early this year ABS-CBN and First Philippine Holdings Inc joined hands to promote an advocacy for Filipinos to connect and experience ldquorealrdquo and ldquogoodrdquo music Thus the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra was created to defy the notion that a full orches-tra is only limited to classical music

The 40-piece musical ensemble is also a fi rst in the history of ABS-CBN

ABS-CBN chairman Eugenio ldquoGabbyrdquo Lopez III stressed that the orchestra aims to provide music of the highest caliber to the general audience

ABS-CBN president Charo Santos-Concio on the other hand expressed her full support for the orchestra

and her optimism that this will be a signifi cant platform to celebrate the character and soul of Filipino music

According to ABS-CBN Philhar-monic Orchestrarsquos executive director Mickey Muntildeoz the orchestra shall also service the performance and music needs of ABS-CBN such as concerts as well as the musical scor-ing for movies

Muntildeoz also revealed that a youth orchestra is also being formed to train indigent but talented young Pinoys to play musical instruments

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada

(In the last chapter PMA cadet Julius Madrigal buys a bible as New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Carlo entered his room from his bath He donned on a t-shirt from his strewn clothes which he would have to pack the following day Over the shirt he pulled over a lengthwise striped sweater which made him appear taller than his five foot and a half frame He then went to the mirror and combed his still damp straight hair parting it on its left side He smiled checking his well set teeth He felt clean

Cleanliness is next to Godliness Monday after the New

Year he would be back to nearer Godliness His two weeks vacation would be over He would be back to where he would like to dedicate himself to be really next to Godli-ness

Again he would be back where everyday the brrriinnnggg brrr-riiiinnggg brrriinnnnggg wake up bell that permeates throughout the seminary walls would swirl into his eardrums and into his innermost soul jolting him to slide off the bed and be on his knees when sunrays slice through the windows of where he had confined himself to be nearer to Godliness Still in the throes of being awake his right hand flies to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Hail Mary full of gracehelliphe falls back into the abyss of nothingness but a second alarm ndash briiinnggg briiinggg brii-ingggg would bring back the swirl into his eardrums permeating into

his soul jolting him back to the re-ality that he is already on his knees Hail Mary full of gracehelliphas he said three already He would goad himself and fight against falling back into the abyss of nothingness for the umpteenth time Has he said three Hail Maries already He decides that since he had lost count he would complete three Hail Maries even if he already went over the count He would add an Our Father and a Glory Be

He gets up and staggers himself towards the exit of the dormitory towards the wash basins He passes other seminarians still in various pose of waking up on their knees or staggering out like himself The silkiness or fadedness of their paja-mas distinguishes who among them come from richer or poorer families

After freshening up he dons his white shirt and pants and black neck-tie He then marches out to join the other seminarians lining up in front of the chapel They appear like equal angels without wings Only tie clips shoes belts or brands of watches distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families

Equally mandated each one clasps his hands palms together on his chest They proceed to their assigned pews while cherubim like hymns fill the air

And the rite beginsDominus VobiscumhellipEt cum

spiritu tuohellipOra pro nobis kneelhellipsithellipstandhellipsit againhellipmostly kneel - all in sanctity to commune with the Spirit and the saints

By the offertory sanctity could be broken as Carlorsquos stomach as well as othersrsquo would growl pleading that the fangs of hunger be quelled But they have to wait though now find it hard to be in communion with the Spirit and the saints

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Finally it would be lsquoGo in peace the mass is endedrsquo

In seeking peace for their hunger they still have to be saintly tip-toe out of the chapel Their shoes then would scrape on the hallways in they dash to the dormitories in the rush to change into their school clothes

Now their over-all clothing demeanors ndash shirts pants sweaters socks shoes ndash starkly distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families Nonetheless richer or poorer they remained equal in the need to quell the fangs of hun-ger as they rush to the rectory hall

A sunny side two sausages fried rice from leftovers the night before crowd on each of the eight plates on each of the ten tables at the rec-tory The coffee would be soggy but would still be a welcome brew to enliven our breakfast which is equal for all The food they are about to receive from His bounty made them all equal except that there are also apples and juice and non soggy cof-fee at the head table where the Flem-ish rector Flemish assistant rector and Flemish principal are

Their stomachs would now really be howling gurgling clamoring for whatever they have to partake on but they all had to equally wait for the last seminarian to enter the dining hall half embarrassed half rever-ent The rector frowning for the delay would glare at the late comer before his right hand would fly to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Bless us Oh Lord in these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord Amen

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Amen

The last vestiges of reverence would now be broken as the ter-restrial need to fortify onersquos body takes precedence over the needs of the soul Chairs screech as the seminarians slide unto them Spoons and forks bang to scrape on eggs sausages and rice as they slide from the plates into munching mouths to mediate the growling gurgling stomachs

After a while Carlo would be satisfied with the egg two sausages fried rice and soggy coffee He would then have more time to often wonder why those Flemish priests also have apples juice and non soggy coffee while the seminar-ians do not Often he dismisses

the thought to just because they are already priests priests who are white because they have a different culture Nonetheless he often asks himself didnrsquot Jesus Christ share the same enliven bread and fish with his apostles

Often he would also feel guilty that having such kind of thoughts about inequality with the priests could be sacrilegious and wonders if he had to go to the con-fessional for that

Such thoughts however would vanish as he immerses himself with the day of classes ndash geometry Latin physics basketball volleyball lunch more studies ping-pong ro-sary and the long litanies and night prayers

The thoughts of inequality how-ever would invade his mind again the following day right after the br-riinnggg brrriinggg brriingggg and the regimen begins

And the regimen he would be go-ing back to made the short Christ-mas holiday break really shorter Nonetheless he had dedicated himself to the vocation and glad that no one or nothing during the vaca-tion made him feel that it was really short He had again passed the test of being out of the seminary walls with still the resolve that he would be going back for Godlinessrsquos sake

Vacations are not only respites from the sanctified isolationrsquos regimen They are tests to how one would not succumb to the calls of the human flesh in the outside world Should one not be able to resist temptations it would be better for one to fall away from the calling earlier than later after one is fully vested when the faithful would be subject to disillusionment

Nonetheless tonight Carlo would indulge in a simple call of the flesh He was ready for the dinner prepared by his mother one much better than the feasts of the priests

The MoringaMalunggay Tree with its edible leaves flowers and pods is one of most power packed nutritious trees in the world It goes by many different names drumkstick tree the Miracle tree the Never Die Tree the Miracle tree

I wrote an article on that subject here but it is also one of the most healing trees in the world All of the tree is ei-ther used for food medicine or cooking It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for hundreds of years to both prevent and treat almost 300 diseasesThe in-formation in this article is not based on double blind research but on the histori-cal and current usage of Moringa leaves flowers and pods in India and many other countries This is how the people have used it in the past and how they use it now Much of this information was observed and documented in the different health projects by physicians in their treatment of AIDS malnutrition and disease In India Ayurvedic physi-cians use it in their standard treatment protocols

How can Moringa leaves have an im-pact on so many problems Many health problems are due to poor nutrition malnutrition and imbalanced disease states which result in immune system breakdown and disease When you correct those imbalances and nutritional deficiencies with super packed nutritious food it is bound to improve health and disease states The ability for Moringa leaves flowers bark and pods to have such diverse healing effects is due to the vitamins minerals antioxidants and healing elements the tree contains

A review of Moringas power packed nutrition

Here is a nutritional breakdown of Fresh Moringa Leaves 7 times the Vitamin C of Oranges 4 times the Cal-cium of Milk 3 times the Potassium of Bananas 2 times the Protein of Yogurt 4 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and frac34 the iron of Spinach

Moringa leaves when dried become a even greater powerhouse of nutri-tion containing frac12 the Vitamin C of Oranges 17 times the Calcium of Milk 15 times the Potassium of Bananas 9 times the Protein of Yogurt 25 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and 20 times the Iron in Spinach All elements except the Vitamin C is increased when you dry the leaves under low temperatures Drying the leaves in direct sunlight decreases its nutritional values

How Moringa and Artemisia Annua Leaves benefit AIDS Patients

There are health projects going on

in Tanzania Musoma and other areas There is a real AIDS crisis in these areas In these AIDS cases the doctors have found that the combination of two herbs Moringa and Artemisia Annua improved the energy stamina and CD4 counts of the AIDS patients Some of their patients came in so weak they were not able to walk or care for them-selves They improved so dramatically that many were able to go back to work and many stayed to help the incoming patients These dramatic improvements were documented over and over again by the doctors in these health projects

How the herbs were used in the treat-ment protocols

The physicians combined dried Mor-inga Leaves with Artemisia Annua and then added one heaping teaspoonful of the powder to make a tea A liter of tea using 5 grams of the powder was given 3 times a day to the patient while the symptoms were acute Later when the patients improved it was reduced to a cup a day When you consider the super nutrition in Moringa leaves it is easy to understand how the Aids patients would improve The power packed nutrition would bolster their immune function strength stamina and ability to live a more normal active life

Moringa does NOT cure AIDS but helps the AIDS patient live longer and improves their quality of life and health Often the AIDS patient does not die from AIDS but from one of the opportunistinfections that prey on their compromised immune system

Moringa Leaves effects on blood pres-sure blood sugar breast milk produc-tion and anemia

In India the leaves are used to normalize blood pressure and to treat anxiety In 1994 a team of researchers identified a new nitride and mustard oil glycoside that demonstrated its ability to lower blood pressure

An infusion of the leaf is used to reduce sugar levels though not as ef-fectively as the standard hypoglycemia medicine

Moringa leaves mixed with honey then followed with coconut milk drunk 2 to 3 times a day is used for diarrhea dysentery and colitis

Moringa leaves have been observed and documented by doctors in the health projects to increase breast milk produc-tion and the health of nursing mothers This is due to the nutrition in the leaves especially the protein calcium and iron

Refreshing News | 7122012 -- Top experts separate the fact from myth once and for all--and reveal some surprises in the process Myth 1 Eating at Night Makes You Fat FACT If your overall calorie intake is appropriate for weight loss or maintenance it may benefit you to eat something after dinner says Joni Rampolla RD Director of Nu-trition and Wellness for Medifast

Late-night calories will ultimately get used the next day (and even while you sleep) To keep your en-ergy levels up it is better to spread your calories out during the day when your body needs fuel Aim to eat something every two or three hours This will stabilize blood sugar levels and help you feel full and energized all day

If you do need a late-night snack consider keeping it to 200 calories or less

Myth 2 Hunger is a sign you need food FACT The body commonly sends cues of hunger when it is dehydrated sleep deprived or sensing psycho-logical hunger If yoursquore not drinking enough water or getting enough sleep this alone can cause you to sense hunger even though yoursquore full Rampolla says

Myth 3 Losing weight is harder than keeping it off FACT More than 90 percent of dieters regain the weight they lost (or more) once they ldquofinishrdquo their plan Rampolla says If you resume eating the foods you ate before los-ing weight you will gain the weight back-and maybe a few extra pounds Herersquos why After weight loss your slimmer body requires fewer calo-ries to function Plus if your weight-loss plan does not include enough protein you might lose muscle mass in addition to excess fat Why thatrsquos bad Muscle burns more calories than fat does so losing muscle will lower your metabolism

Every day make a positive decision to stay on track with your new healthy lifestyle Maintaining healthy eating habits is a lifelong commitment and takes persistence Rampolla says

Myth 4 Exercise makes you tired FACT As the body gets in better shape most people feel exercising gives them more energy than before Regular exercise can also help fight fatigue improve your sleep and manage your stress says Gina Crome MS MPH RD and Top 10 FitOrbitcom trainer

Myth 5 Working out is a big time commitment FACT To main-tain a healthy weight you can work out as little as 20 to 40 minutes most days of the week If your goal is to lose weight itrsquos advised that you aim for about 45 to 60 minutes each day Crome says

The best part You donrsquot need to fit it all into one session Most of us can find five to 10 minutes to spare

at different points in the day Using these spare minutes throughout the day to be active adds up quickly and eventually becomes a regular part of your healthy lifestyle

Myth 6 Lower-body workouts will give you lean legs faster FACT The type of exercise you do does not affect the number of fat cells in a specific area Crome says Even if you do 100 abs exer- cises every day without proper nutri-tion quality sleep and a well-round- ed fitness routine you might never achieve the toned flat stomach you want You will help develop the muscles in that area but that doesnrsquot equate to fat loss

When the body loses

fat it does so

in a

sys-

temic fashion-all over the body at the same time Aside from surgical procedures such as liposuction there is no way to direct or influence the elimi-nation of fat from

specific areas Crome says Myth 7 You should

only eat carbs when yoursquore ac-tive FACT This myth is based on the belief that since carbs are the bodyrsquos preferred energy source you shouldnrsquot eat them when yoursquore inactive-like most people are in the evening However many individuals have atypical schedules or regularly exercise after work These people benefit from consuming appropri-ate amounts of carbohydrates in the evening to fuel their lifestyle says John Bosse RD and Member of the Research amp Development team for USANA Health Sciences

For someone who is sedentary in the evening a small high-protein snack such as 23 cup of full-fat cottage cheese or a protein shake can actually help you stay slim Research shows that eating high-quality protein at regular intervals promotes better body composition and since a lot of time passes between dinner

and breakfast this small snack is a smart strategic move

Myth 8 Heavy weights will make you bulky FACT Unless yoursquore taking in substances that alter your hormone profile (anabolic ste-roids) it is highly unlikely that you will gain large amounts of muscle Bosse says Doing a high number of reps (20+) using light weights and stopping each set well before the point of muscular failure certainly helps improve fitness and burn calo-ries but itrsquos not the best way to get a lean toned body What is Integrate periods of heavier training (six to 10 reps) with some sets taken to muscular failure The ability to build muscle is very different for men and women and should not be confused Bosse says

Myth 9 You should do a juice cleanse to detox FACT Our bod-ies are extremely smart and have built-in processes for detoxing every day says Kristen Carlucci RD reg-istered dietitian and nutrition expert for Pitney Bowes Inc

Yes people lose weight on juice cleanses but not because of any mir-acle ingredient or because your body is cleared of toxins that are slowing

down your metabolism Weight lost during a cleanse is most likely

a result of taking in far fewer calories than

usual While fill-ing up on fruits

and vegetables is a positive thing the problem with juice cleanses is that they are a tem-porary fix They donrsquot teach you the balanced nutrition habits you should be forming in order to lose weight and keep it off for good Carlucci says

Myth 10 Carbs are the en-emy FACT With the onset of the low-carb diet craze many people deny themselves this major food group This concept is misunder-stood because itrsquos not the carbohy-drates themselves that cause weight gain itrsquos the fact that for many of us itrsquos difficult to control the portion sizes Carlucci says

Instead of cutting out carbs alto-gether (which does not sound fun at all) focus on choosing the right carbs in the proper portions Stick with whole-grain pastas and breads (each slice should have 100 calories or less and should contain at least 3 grams of fiber) and try to fill no more than 14 of your plate with starch Limit pasta to 1 cup cooked and choose potatoes that are about the size of a computer mouse

The 10 Most Misunderstood Diet and Fitness Strategies Fatty Acid Found in Fish Prevents Age-

Related Vision Loss Study Suggests

ScienceDaily (May 30 2012) mdash An omega-3 fatty acid found in fish known as DHA prevented age-relat-ed vision loss in lab tests according to recent medical research from the University of Alberta

Yves Sauveacute a researcher in the Faculty of Medicine amp Dentistry and his team discovered that lab models fed DHA did not accumulate a toxic molecule at the back of the eyes The toxin normally builds up in the retina with age and causes vision loss

ldquoThis discovery could result in a very broad therapeutic userdquo says Sauveacute whose work was recently published in the peer-reviewed jour-nal Investigative Ophthalmology amp Visual Science

ldquoIn normal aging this toxin increases twofold as we age But in lab tests there was no increase in this toxin whatsoever This has never been demonstrated before -- that supplementing the diet with DHA could make this kind of differencerdquo

The team recently started another study looking at people who have age-related macular degeneration a condition that results in loss of central vision and is the main cause of blindness in people over the age of 50 The researchers will look for DNA markers in the blood of study participants The team wants to determine whether participants with certain genetic markers will respond better to increasing amounts of DHA in their diet and if so why

Sauveacute is a researcher in the departments of ophthalmology and physiology at the U of A

Various organizations funded the research the primary funder was the Canadian Institutes of Health Research

Courtesy of WebMD -- Who doesnrsquot enjoy a tall cool glass of juice The color is vibrant the taste sweet and itrsquos good for you too Not so fast say some dietitians Although the best kinds of juice deliver a bounty of vitamins the worst are hardly better than liquid candy WebMD helps you spot the difference

Drinking your veggies is a conve-nient way to add powerful plant-based nutrients to your diet The lycopene in tomato juice appears to lower the risk of prostate cancer Beet juice may reduce blood pres-sure Pulpy vegetable juice is also packed with fiber that can help con-trol hunger And all of these benefits come without a catch Vegetable juice has far less sugar and fewer calories than the typical fruit juice but it is high in sodium unless you choose the low salt version

Be on alert for the terms juice cocktail juice-flavored beverage or juice drink Most of these prod-ucts contain only small amounts of real juice The main ingredients are usually water and some type of sugar such as high-fructose corn syrup Nutritionally these drinks are similar to most soft drinks mdash rich in sugar and calories but low in nutri-ents Research suggests that sug-ary fruit drinks put kids at risk for obesity and related health problems The 2010 Dietary Guidelines recom-mends water over sugary drinks

If yoursquore only going to drink one glass of juice each day you want to make it a good one So letrsquos ex-plore which juices offer the biggest nutritional payoff per sip Pomegran-ate juice tops the list Itrsquos high in sugar and calories but delivers an abundant dose of antioxidants These substances appear to protect brain function and may ward off cancer In one study 8 ounces of pomegranate juice daily reduced the recurrence of prostate cancer

Cranberry juice is packed with vitamin C which is vital to a healthy immune system There is also evidence to support a folk remedy -- drinking unsweetened cranberry juice may help reduce your risk of urinary tract infections

Substances in blueberries may help keep the brain healthy In a small study researchers looked at the effect of blueberry juice on memory in adults in their seven-ties who had age-related memory decline Those who drank 2 12 cups of blueberry juice for 12 weeks had significant improvement on learning and memory tests compared to those who drank a non-juice beverage So choose blueberry juice to boost brain health

Researchers have only begun look-ing into the health benefits of acai juice which is made from a berry found in South America But early studies are promising Acai pulp appears to have a higher concentra-tion of antioxidants than cranber-ries blackberries strawberries or blueberries

Besides delivering a wealth of antioxidants some berry juices appear to have anti-inflammatory properties According to one study drinking cherry juice before and after your work-out can reduce exercise-induced muscle pain

Wersquove all heard that red wine in moderation can be good for the heart The same is true of red grape juice Red grape juice contains po-tent antioxiodants -- flavanoids and resveratrol The key is that wine and juice are made with the entire grape -- seeds skin and all When you eat fresh grapes you miss out on nutri-ents hiding in the seeds

Another viable folk remedy prune juice has long been recommended to relieve constipation It works because itrsquos extremely high in fiber and contains a natural laxative called sorbitol But the benefits of prune juice donrsquot stop there The juice is also packed with antioxidants iron and potassium

Itrsquos a staple at breakfast but does this popular juice carry its weight The good news is orange juice is loaded with vitamin C a star for its immune-boosting benefits In addition orange juice is often forti-fied with calcium and vitamin D nutrients that strengthen the bones

The brave non-violence of the

Subaanen peopleby Fr Shay Cullen PREDA

Some thousands of indigenous people all over the Philippines es-pecially in Mindanao especially the Subaanen people on the Zamboanga Peninsula have struggle for years to stop mining corporations from moving in to explore and mine the mountains and hills They are victims of corrupt government offi cials and even judges who are captivated by the vested inter-est of the mining industry

Some Indigenous people are sadly being forced to turn to armed resis-tance as the mining corporations move into their lands The Subaanen people have remained steadfastly non-violent and turned to the rule of law and trust in the constitution to protect them and their rightsBut is it enough

Hundreds of thousands of hectares of ancestral land has been threatened by the illegal and corrupt acts of some offi cials of the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Allegedly some of these offi cials are not on the side of the people in Mindanao but are for the rich and powerful mining interests and the banks that fund them

They allegedly enrich themselves by giving mining permits to companies

over ancestral lands which is forbidden by law It is at this level in the provinc-es where the anti-corruption campaign of President Aquino is weakest He has deposed a former president and a chief Justice but not yet the corrupt offi cials in Mindanao While the president is dedicated and honestly trying to clean up the stinking garbage of corrup-tion he cannot seemingly oust these entrenched offi cials the henchmen and women of powerful political families

They do not have allegiance to their department cabinet secretary or the president In fact they are ones who defy the president and are the hardest to get rid off The presidents politi-cal allies could be behind the corrupt practices that is opening the way for the illegal logging and issuance of mining permits They are pushing the president to override the provincial governments bans on open pit mining He must resist this pressure

Mining companies that get a permit to explore and mine also get a logging permit for the cutting the trees in the area alloted to them for mining This is totally destructive and is a way around the presidential ban on logging which goes on unabated Just drive through Mindanao and you will pass twenty or thirty huge trucks hauling cut logs I have seen them myself

For many years the Subaanen people and their supporters have stood peace-fully for their rights courageously and bravely to stop the local dynastic families and their cronies in the Inter-national mining industry from mining

their ancestral lands The Subaanen have been non-violent and trusted the democratic rule of law to save them

Their breakthrough cam in August 2011 when the Supreme Court of the Philippines granted a Writ of Ka-likasan (A protection of nature) to the people to protect the environment of the whole of the Zamboanga Peninsu-la A Writ of Kalikasan is a powerful legal remedy under Philippine law which provides for the protection ones right to a balanced and health-ful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature as provided for in Section 16 Article II of the Philippine Constitution It protects ones right for a healthy environment against damage of such magnitude that it threatens life health or property of inhabitants in two or more cities or provinces But the government of-fi cials are ignoring the Supreme Court order

Bishop Jiminez and three other bishops and an archbishop signed a letter to the London based sharehold-ers of the mining company RTZ-CRA trying to get the offi cials to stop the mining and logging wrote to the shareholders

In part he letter said ŠSince the company has the right to expatriate all the profi ts you the shareholders will probably earn some money However many of our people who own the lands where all the minerals are will become paupers Our rivers and seas

In travelling the countryside or while you are crossing the street driving your car taking the subway bedridden in the hospital or stuck in prison dont forget to say your Rosary every day Let the beads slip between your fi ngers they also slip between the fi n-gers of the Holy Father at the Vatican those of a grandmoth-er in Alaska a child on a hill in Rwanda a football player on a fi eld in Rio a Carthusian monk in his cell a Carmelite in her cloister or young evangelists on a mission

The Rosary is the certainly the prayer of the poor and the small the

sick and the suffering par excel-lence Yes always and everywhere not only in space but also in time The latitudes of the planet and longi-

tudes of history crisscross

The Hail Mary has moistened the lips of mil-lions of all ages races and nations How many chil-dren learned it as their fi rst prayer How many of the

dying whispered it as their ultimate testament The Hail Mary is a syn-thesis of two fi rst names Mary and Jesus

Daily Meditation Listening With

Our Wounds To enter into solidarity with a suf-

fering person does not mean that we have to talk with that person about our own suffering Speaking about our own pain is seldom helpful for someone who is in pain A wounded healer is someone who can listen to a person in pain without having to speak about his or her own wounds When we have lived through a pain-ful depression we can listen with great attentiveness and love to a depressed friend without mentioning our experience Mostly it is better not to direct a suffering persons attention to ourselves We have to trust that our own bandaged wounds will allow us to listen to others with our whole beings That is healing

July 10 2012 Daily Meditation Text excerpts taken from Bread for the Journey by Henri JM Nouwen copy1997 HarperSanFrancisco All Scripture from The Jerusalem Bible copy1966 1967 and 1968 Darton Longman amp Todd and Doubleday amp Co Inc

Q How do you describe a luke-warm soul

A Jesus said lukewarm souls are souls who if He can only vomit out He will They are the souls He wanted to vomit out when He was in calvary Like in Geth-semane He said if it is only possible that He will not have to drink the cup He will not drink from it because these are the souls who are already in the light but decided to transfer to darkness That is why our Lord said what these souls are doing is the most hurting thing for Him

Q What makes Jesus happy

A What makes Jesus happy is if you can love your enemy Because how can you face God and beg for His mercy if you are not also merciful The truth is it is very diffi cult to love our enemy But there is a secret And the secret is fi rst of all we have to conquer our selves The truth is our num-ber one enemy is ourselves

because pride is in us hatred is in us all the negative are in us But if you are able to conquer your self if we are

able to defeat ourselves it means we do not have anymore pride no more hatred no more envy no more nega-tive and if all the negative are gone

it will be very easy to love your enemy

The truth is it is very easy to say ldquo I forgive yourdquo but it only comes from the mouth Deep inside the negatives are still in your heart and if it is not removed it will remain with you forever That is why you need to remove the negative You can only remove these if you love your enemy Because if you love your enemy ev-erytime you pray he is always included in your prayer and everytime you pray for your enemy slowly the thorn is be-ing removed and if the thorn is removed completely that will make Jesus very happy

To love an enemy means it is not necessary to like Just pray for him Do not say anything against him

a good chance that we will be able to extend this forward momentum as we anticipate better fi rst-half earnings from our listed fi rms The latest sovereign credit rating up-grade also provides additional support for future growth so overall I think we are in a terrifi c position to keep on im-provingrdquo PSE president Hans Sicat said in a press statement

Last July 5 the PSEi again beat its previous record high to post a fresh all-time high at 536998 As of July 6 the PSEi was the top performing market in Asia with a gain of 227 percent year-to-date beating bourses in Singapore Indonesia Malaysia Thailand Vietnam Hong Kong India and China among others

In the fi rst six months cyclical stocks banking and property led the PSEirsquos rise in the fi rst quarter albeit all indices were on the green

The fi nancial index emerged as the best performer in the fi rst half after surging by 346 percent to the 130442 level The fi nancial index was likewise the best performer in terms of bot-tomline based on fi rst-quarter earnings culled by the PSE

The next best performer was the property index which jumped by 301 percent to fi nish at 192748 in the fi rst half

The holding fi rms index rose by 281 percent to the 448880 level

Other indices performed as follows in the fi rst six months the industrial index rallied by 108 percent to fi nish at 783957 the services index climbed by 88 percent to 175902 -the mining and oil index crept higher by 48 percent to 2462948 points

ldquoJust like our main index investor confi dence in Philippines Inc is at an all-time high Whatrsquos remarkable is that we have been able to achieve unprec-edented growth even in the midst of ongoing uncertainties in the Western hemisphere and a cooling Chinese economy This is a testament to the effectiveness of the reforms that the country has undertaken which further contributed to the stable macroeconomic environmentrdquo Sicat said

The PSEirsquos fi nish in the fi rst six months was higher by 95520 points from its previous close of 429121 in the same period last year

The combined market capitalization of issues listed on the PSE during the January to June period stood at P1005 trillion up by 128 percent from a year ago

Total turnover for the fi rst half reached P94773 billion or 432 percent higher than the P66181 billion registered in the same period the previous year Average daily turnover stood at P764 billion an increase of 455 percent year-on-year

Skyscanner saidRussia got 17 percent and

10 percent for UKldquoRussians can be more direct when

talking which may be misconstrued as being ruderdquo said Tatiana Da-nilova Russian market manager for Skyscanner ldquoHowever this is more a difference in culture than genuine rudenessrdquo

Danilova attributed this to the Russian language which ldquois not as polite as Englishhelliprdquo

ldquoSo when Russians translate directly from Russian to English it can sound rude to an English speaker even if they donrsquot mean it tordquo Danilova ldquoRussians tend to consider British people extremely polite due to their courteous way of speakingrdquo

Pacifi c Islander communityldquoAfter being a mentee for many years

I once asked my mentor how I could repay him for his kindness He told me to help 100 other people and my debt would be repaid in full Irsquod like to help at least a million people It is great to be recognized by your peers but I feel I should be recognizing the commu-nity for their steadfast and unwavering support for me and my colleagues at IW Grouprdquo said Bill Imada Chairman amp CEO IW Group Inc - Philanthropy Leadership honoree

In spite of the challenging fundraising environment APCF was successful at raising more than $150000 that was dis-tributed among its 29 Affi liate Agencies which provide health and human ser-vices to Asian and Pacifi c Islander (API) and other ethnic communities in need throughout Los Angeles County The mission of APCF is to build healthier and stronger API communities working with its affi liates corporate and commu-nity partners and individuals to generate resources for this often overlooked and under-served population

In addition special grant presentations were made by Verizon and Walmart totaling $100000 For the second year Verizon is funding APCFrsquos scholarship program for students pursuing higher education in the science technology engineering and math related fi elds In a time when students are faced with signifi cantly rising costs of obtaining a college degree it is important that there is support for these students in the Asian and Pacifi c Islander communities A total of $25000 in scholarship awards will be given out in 2012

ldquoVerizonrsquos partnership with the Asian Pacifi c Community Fund is creating op-portunities for young people to succeed and pursue their dreams here in Califor-nia and across the countryrdquo said Gene

Shooting StarPoem No 9

I wish I was a shooting star streaking through the night sky

Being here and there in brief fl ash of light

And really nowhere to be found

Me in your life being caught in your universe

Running around in circles ever nearing your space

Seeking the face by which I am doomed to certain death

Like a fl ash like a bang I am nowhere to be found

Me in your life caught in your universe streaking aimlessly

towards destruction envying the celestial dance between Moon

and Sun Sun and earth earth and heaven seeking freedom

from my desolated journey in you I found destruction through

my destruction I found my freedom

copy 2009 Michael R Tagudin

Lt Donald Ordinario Radiation Health Offi cer US Naval Hospital (USNH) Yokosuka has been award-ed the Capt Ernest W Brown award by the Navy and Marine occupation-al health preventive medicine andor health promotion for 2011

Ordinario created the only Navy dosimetry program that manages multiple afl oat and ashore command programs from one location and the fi rst overseas dosimetry hub for Department of Defense personnel in Japan The program monitored personnel for external radiation exposure while working in support of Operation Tomadachi

Ordinario said ldquoLooking at the big

picture we were a small part of the overall Operation Tomadachi mis-sion but since external dosimetry was required for all personnel enter-ing the radiological warm zone for humanitarian assistance the USNH Yokosuka radiation health team took on the monumental challenge of en-suring personnel were appropriately monitoredrdquo

Ordinario was aided by a team of radiation health staff which included deployed technicians deployed from stateside commands to support Op-eration Tomadachi ldquoThe augmented staff from different Navy Medicine Commands was vital part of being able to carry out our missionrdquo said Ordinario ldquoBeing recognized for the efforts the radiation health team did during Operation Tomadachi

is an honor and a testament to the hard work that was put in by all involvedrdquo

The Capt Ernest W Brown award established in 1986 is presented in memory of the late Capt Ernest ldquoEWrdquo Brown and recognizes an individual for excellence in Navy Occupational Health Preventive Medicine andor Health Promo-tion programs at the activity level Brown was a renowned researcher in the fi eld of biochemical warfare submarine medicine and occupa-tional medicine In 1941 he suc-cessfully implemented the ambitious industrial hygiene and forerunner of our Navy program today -- Re-printed from Seahawk Umitaka (submitted by Daughlet Ordinario of San Diego CA)

Seaoil karter Gabriel Cabrera along with fellow Filipino Flynn Jackes fi nally ended the half a decade title drought for the Philippines in the Mini-ROK class of the Asian Karting Open Championshipsrsquo opening leg at the Kartodromo de Coloane in Macau The 5-leg international race series is regarded as the most prestigious karting tilt in Asia

Racing abroad for the fi rst time 12 year old Cabrera topped the time trials at 103674 despite the absence of a coach and with only his chief mechanic Joesefi lo Bariquit in tow

The Philippines enjoyed a momentous 1-2-3 moment at the time trials with Cabrera grabbing pole position followed by Xedrei Daquigan in second and Flynn Jackes in third

Enduring an abdomen injury incurred from a crash during the fi nals warm-up Cabrera nevertheless decided to continue to race in the fi nals Surging to 2nd place from 5th in the fi nal grid the excruciating pain however led Cabrera to slip to 4th place by the end of the race

Although bowing to Jackes for the top spot Cabrerarsquos admirable show of resilience and perseverance endeared him to fans and foes alike who knew of his injury In true AKOC camaraderie Cabrera even found an unlikely ally in Taiwanese rival Lin Tsen Han who along with his crew immediately as-

sisted Cabrera as he fi nally collapsed in pain at the weigh-in area

ldquoThere is no such thing as a broken spirit only broken bones But not even that can stop a Filipino karterrsquos will to winrdquo says Cabrera as he was whisked off to the Kiang Wu Hospital to receive emergency medical treatment

He eventually was stable enough to return to the track a few hours later in time to receive his 3rd runner-up trophy at the awarding ceremonies Cabrera is the son of Los Angeles-based business-man Richard Cabrera and is slated to compete in the seriesrsquo second leg later this month in Manila

Cabrera Win Hearts In Asian Karting

Chief mechanic Joesefi le Bariquit and Gabriel Cabrera with kart-ing trophy at the Asian Karting Open Championship during opening leg in Macau China

by Steven Buller KIvaorgAccording to a recent article in Ma-

laya Business Insight a Filipino news-paper there were 9050 bank facilities operating in the Philippines at the end of 2011 At the same time there were 15600 pawnshops and 9500 licensed

money changers that were licensed to provide fi nancial services such as remittance transactions and bill pay-ments

The Philippines are fragmented by nature The country has 7000 islands 2000 of which are inhabited Since most banks are in urban areas reaching clients on the smaller remote islands can be extremely diffi cult and costly In a country where the savings rate is abysmal many people depend on credit for everyday expenses Non-bank facilities like pawnshops which are regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (or BSP the Philippines central bank) fi ll this gap

The BSP is currently considering allowing convenience stores or ldquosari-sari shopsrdquo to become banking agents as well They would be allowed to offer a variety of services including handling remittance transactions As nearly one out of 10 Filipinos lives and works abroad remittance transactions represent a huge portion of demand for fi nancial services In fact the Philip-

pines is one of the top fi ve recipients of remittances globally receiving about USD$19 billion annually

While this informal part of the banking sector certainly promotes fi nancial inclusion the BSP has made efforts to formalize the industry In 2010 it passed an amendment to certain banking regulations allowing for banks to establish microbanking offi ces (ldquoMBOsrdquo) MBOs are much smaller and cheaper to set up than bank branches They also offer a wider range of services that are important to Filipinos including microinsurance electronic money transfers social secu-rity payouts and savings products

I remember reading a pamphlet of Opus Dei a religious group about work It advised that whatever your job is no matter how insignifi cant or menial it may be you must value it You must sanctify your work by doing a perfect job then offering it to God For instance if you are a janitor assigned to clean a toilet you must make it spic and span Clean it so well that you would not mind sleeping in it Then offer your perfect job to God For God is perfection He will be pleased and you will get fulfi llment and pride in your work no matter how lowly it may appear

Once you have a job save money to support yourself to college Go to a technical school fi rst During our time we have vocational courses here at Arellano Students learned to repair cars radios and televisions and learn bookkeeping Learn a skill like automotive cooking or computer work This will help you get a better job with better pay until you save enough to go to college at night while working during the day Or you can work and save money so that you can go into business Remember Lydiarsquos Lechon Jonirsquos Bakeshop They started small Just a one-table food stand Now they are big corporations You can do the same There are count-less examples If they can do it you can do it too

Once you have a steady career you can work hard and play hard

Imagine after high school you girls did not go to college What kind of jobs can you get Salesgirls earning

a few pesos I was told salesgirls in department stores are earning only below the minimum wage Kaya marami sila nakatayo lang na parang mga manikin Thatrsquos is why there are a lot of them standing like manne-quins With their very low pay the department store owners can afford to hire all of them Hundreds of them Siguro libre ang make-up Maybe the makeup is free for I notice that all of them are wearing some Without a college diploma you might end up as a domestic help Or worse Do you want your life to be like that

Some girls are determined to get married after high school hoping their husbands would support them They dream of staying home taking care of the house and the kids and living happily ever after Do you think that is possible Look around Almost all the girls who did so are as poor as rats desperate to survive as any uneducated jobless girl can be Why Because it is beyond logic It is not realistically possible It is a dream It is a fantasy To marry early and live happily ever after is a fairy tale Hindi mo makakain ang pag-ibig You cannot eat love our parents use to say Ang pag-aasawa ay hindi parang mainit na kanin na isusubo at iluluwa pag napaso ldquoMarriage is not a hot rice that is put in the mouth only to be spat out if one gets burnedrdquo so said an old Filipino saying Okay there might be one or two lucky enough to marry well and be sup-ported by their husbands But are they happy Being dependent on some-body else Many women who married irresponsible husbands or those with little education end up sacrifi cing for

their children They end up as bread-winners with no time for themselves But why leave your future to chance Why not take control of your life yourself and carve your own bright future Why not Believe you me there is nothing better than support-ing yourself instead of depending on other people

Of course at this period of your puberty you may fall in love Falling in love at a time when you clearly cannot afford to settle down and raise a family can be confl icting This is one trial every young man and woman had to pass through Like a rite of passage One must resist temp-tations curb onersquos passion control onersquos hormones and keep onersquos eyes on the prize - of fi nishing college and launching a career During our time we had classmates who eloped in their teens Some lived poor others got separated Donrsquot miss out on be-ing a bachelor or bachelorette Enjoy the bliss of singlehood You will be shortchanging yourself denying yourself of much greater happiness if you succumb to your feelings prematurely Those feelings will pass will fade away until you realize that being heartbroken at this point in your life is the best thing that could happen to you Better to focus on your career for now

We accompanied our youngest daughter on a campus tour of a uni-versity in Washington DC The tour guide aside from explaining all the advantages of going to that school told the prospective students ldquoIf you have a boyfriend or girlfriend you are leaving behind in high school or in your hometown I am telling you now to forget them No matter how much or how passionately you love them now For after a semester in this school you will not even think that they ever existedrdquo

Crushes come and go You will experience many of them True love will come your way without you even looking for it God will introduce you to the love of your life your lifetime mate the mother or father of our chil-dren without even you looking for him or her Just focus on your studies have fun going out with your friends boys andor girls and enjoy your youth Donrsquot shortchange yourself by

being happy at fi rst by marrying early only to feel sorry the rest of your life

One way of earning a scholarship to college is by joining the school band which I hear we have This is another avenue you should consider explor-ing

Of course there are those among you lucky to have parents to support you through college Value that great opportunity Donrsquot take it for granted Having a parental support however is not a guarantee for success It de-pends on the attitude of an individual

When I was in college a cousin of mine was brought to our house from the province by his mother She requested we let her son stay in our house so that he could go to college They could not afford a dorm for him to stay My mom agreed out of the goodness of heart That cousin of mine Ely stayed with me in my room I would sleep in my bed while he slept on the fl oor Eventually he moved to my fatherrsquos printing busi-ness in Quiapo for it was walking distance to his school He wanted to become an engineer and he had the intellectual IQ to tackle and succeed in the course A year later his younger brother Mario joined him Mario took up commerce at the Polytechnic University in Manila The brothers lived in the mezzanine fl oor of the printing press rent free Later Ely had a girlfriend They went out on dates despite the limited allowance his farmer father was sending him His girlfriend got pregnant and Ely was forced to quit school and go back to their barrio Mario soon graduated and was recommended for a job at the Central Bank of the Philippines by one of his professors During one of our family gatherings in the province Mario came driving his brand new car He made it big and transformed himself from being a naiumlve barrio boy into a successful bank executive His elder brother Ely the would-be engineer was there too No he did not come in a brand new car He came driving a tricycle which he used in plying his trade as a tricycle driver Given an opportunity you must grab it by the horns Donrsquot let it go until you cross the fi nish line

(To be continued)

Followed by another comment ldquoDo we now have in you a Dr Rizal of the 21st century I BELIEVE SOrdquo

I responded with the following ldquoDanny thanks for your comments and great COMPLIMENT I have been compared to some famous men before but Dr Jose Rizal Coming from you I am taking it as a real compliment Though this reminds me of San Beda Prof Regalado (who obtained the high-est grade in Bar exams history) when he told us ldquoA praise undeserved is a slan-der in disguiserdquo Being abroad and still concerned about the Philippines there is really a Rizal in all of us It is not unlike the Propaganda Movement in Madrid Spain crying for reforms during his and Lopez Jaenarsquos time So thank you again for the complimentrdquoDuring the darkest hours of Martial Law when the Philippines was gov-erned by a dictator named Ferdinand Marcos there were also efforts abroad by both Filipino-Americans and exiled Filipinos to expose the atrocities and abuses of the dictatorial regime Like the La Solidaridad during the time of Rizal there were also publications ar-ticles and books written to infl uence and advocate changes in US policies that favored or supported dictatorial regimes The targets for these advocacies and lobbying efforts were the US Congress the White House and the US State Department

One active organization leading the propaganda efforts was the Movement for a Free Philippines (MFP) led by Raul S Manglapus and later joined by Ninoy Aquino who was imprisoned by Marcos for several years We all know what happened to Aquino at the airport in Manila while under the ldquocarerdquo of Marcos soldiers Like Rizal he also died for the Philippine cause

What also impressed me during those years was the involvement of real Filipino doctors like Rizal They cam-paigned funded and led without fear until the US administration reversed its policies and supported the Fili-pino peoplersquos desire to recapture their freedom and dignity through the People Power Revolution

So you wonrsquot go to college because you are poor - Part 2

Follow Asian Journal on Twitter asianjournal

I have traveled to several places in Asia South America Europe and North America as a student business executive and lawyer

For sometime now my wife and I have been receiving invitations to join my sister and her husband on a cruise that is usually coupled with land tours

We never got around to accepting fi rst because the cruises were too long (two weeks or more) and second the cities involved in the land tours were places we had already visited

But last month we accepted the invita-tion because the cruise was only 7 days with an additional 3 nights in Madrid Spain

I have never been to Madrid I have always wanted to see envision and trace the movements of Jose Rizal and the other members of the Propaganda Movement during a very important period in our history

I was always interested in drawing parallelisms between and among the propagandists in the 19th Century led by the likes of Jose Rizal Lopez Jaena del Pilar and other members of the Propa-ganda Movement who operated in Ma-drid those in the 20th Century such as the members of Anti-Marcos groups led by Raul Manglapus and Ninoy Aquino who operated in Washington DC and todayrsquos bloggers columnists Twitters Facebook status updaters commentators and other opinion-makers of both the main media and social networks in this 21st Century

When I wrote an article entitled ldquoOld 4Gs to New 4Gs Gaining Groundrdquo It elicited a reaction from Danny Be-navente a resident of Southern Califor-nia but born and raised in my hometown of Rosales Pangasinan Philippines

He said ldquoBrilliant Just plain bril-liant This one can resonate to as far and to the highest public offi ce in the PIrdquo

Four Keys of Life

Irsquom like most people throughout the world someone whose life has been impacted in one way or another by breast cancer In my case mem-bers of my family have dealt with it plus my sister passed away from it a few years ago There are numerous great organizations helping people and ldquoSusan G Komen for the Cure is the global leader of the breast cancer movement boasting the worldrsquos largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activ-

ists The organization has included ldquoThe Four Keys of Liferdquo to their education literature to encourage and promote breast self-awareness

The four keys1 Talk to your family There is

still hesitancy in many families to talk about personal health issues especially where ldquofemale cancersrdquo such as breast endometrial and ovarian cancer are concerned But studies have connected shared genetic components between breast cancer and other cancers that may be useful in understanding your risk

of contracting the disease Providing your doctor with your family health history may lead to a better under-standing of your personal risk

2 Get screened Your doctor will determine what screening tests are right for you For women of ldquoaverage riskrdquo clinical breast exams should begin at age 20 and be repeated every three years Annual mammograms should begin at age 40 For higher risk women addi-tional screenings such as an MRI may be recommended by your health care provider

3 Know what is normal for you Any visible or palpable changes to your breasts should be reported to your doctor These changes include a lump hard knot or thickening swelling warmth redness or darken-ing a change in the size or shape of the breast dimpling or puckering of the skin itchy scaly sore or rash on the nipple pulling in of the nipple or other part of the breast nipple discharge that starts suddenly new pain in one spot that does not go away How to perform a Breast Self-Examination (BSE) can be found at wwwkomenorgbse

4 Make healthy lifestyle choices Studies and scientifi c literature purport that maintaining a healthy weight adding exercise to your rou-tine and limiting alcohol intake may all reduce the risk of breast cancer

HistorySusan G Komen fought breast

cancer with her heart body and soul Throughout her diagnosis treatments and endless days in the hospital she spent her time thinking of ways to make life better for other women battling breast cancer instead of worrying about her own situation Moved by Susanrsquos compassion for others and commitment to mak-ing a difference Nancy G Brinker promised her sister that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer Though Susan lost her battle with the disease her legacy lives on through the work of Susan G Ko-men for the Curereg the organization Nancy started in her honor Komen for the Cure is the global leader of the breast cancer movement having invested more than $1 billion since its inception in 1982 Komenrsquos promise is to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empower-ing people ensuring quality care for

all and energizing science to fi nd the cures

In San Diego Since 1995 In 1995 a group of passionate

committed health educators and breast cancer survivors did more than just imagine They acted by founding the San Diego Affi liate of Susan G Komen for the Cure Since its inception in 1995 Komen for the Cure San Diego has awarded grants totaling more than $85 million dollars to local organizations that have made valuable contributions to breast cancer diagnostics treatment education screening and patient support Through events and dona-tions Susan G Komen for the Cure is able to bring funding and hope to the fi ght against breast cancer Each year the Komen Race for the Cure and the Breast Cancer 3- Dayreg raise signifi cant funds and awareness for breast cancer celebrating breast cancer survivorship and honoring those who have lost their battle with the disease With pledges from these events and donations throughout the year strides are being made to continue the quest for a cure

Each year 75 percent of proceeds are awarded through a grant process to local organizations Each grantee conducts a program that offers breast cancer education screening or treat-ment to residents in the San Diego area

The remaining 25 percent is directed to the Susan G Komen for the Cure National Grant Program to fund research on a national and in-ternational level Since the Affi liatersquos inception in 1995 nearly $7 million has been given to local organizations that provide breast cancer education screening diagnostics treatment and patient support for the uninsured or underinsured in San Diego County

Change the system Be the solution You can be the difference You can

help end breast cancer forever The Komen Champions for the Curereg advocacy program is focused on educating Congress federal offi cials state legislators and other policy makers about breast cancer through community involvement Komen Champions for the Cure was in-spired by the commitment and force of Komen volunteers who want to join the fi ght

From breast cancer research to early detection and quality care Ko-men Champions for the Cure aims to

infl uence the federal government on crucial breast cancer issues by con-tacting Members of Congress By challenging candidates and those in public offi ce to make breast cancer a priority you can change the system and you can be the solution to breast cancer

Exercise May Reduce Risk of Breast Cancer

Being physically active is one of the best things you can do for your health Exercise may help lower your risk of developing or dying from breast cancer

The Church that Christ built

(Continued from page 4)

dividing and diluting its message These prophecies indeed came to pass False teachers introduced a host of different doctrines and practices in the church The Bible shows that Satan the being ultimately behind this counterfeit Christianity has deceived the whole world and that Satanrsquos ministers usually appear as ministers of righteousness

Satanrsquos inroads into the Church were so rampant at this stage near the end of the First Century that true Chris-

tians were actually excommunicated from some congregations

Although Satan has repeatedly at-tacked and tried to destroy it the Church has not died out Though the details have often been hard to fi nd in history Godrsquos Church created by Jesus Christ has survived the worst persecutions of the Roman Empire and the Dark Ages as well as the attacks of more recent times

Somewhere on earth members of the small fl ock have always continued to serve God to the best of their under-standing and ability Today the Church that Christ built continues as a small but active and faithful body striving to spread Godrsquos good news in a faithless world ndash zenasultanahotmailcom

IMMIGRATION 911 By Atty Susan V Perez

While there is a shortage for nurses in the United States there is still no indication when USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) will resume issuing immigrant visas to fi ll the void There are many skilled and experienced foreign nurses in the United States who are looking for jobs in vari-ous hospitals and healthcare facilities Hospitals and health care facilities want to utilize their skills and services but there arenrsquot immigrant visas available because of the retrogression Irsquove talked to Filipino registered nurses who have been waiting for the immigrant visa for a long time and are willing to take nonimmigrant visas

THE H-1B NONIMMIGRANT VISAThe H-1B program allows employers

to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise in a specialized fi eld and a bachelorrsquos degree or its equivalent Typical H-1B occupations include architects engineers computer programmers accountants doctors and college professors Certain specialty occupations in the nursing industry may qualify for H-1B nonimmigrant status Specifi cally a narrow group of nurses holding a baccalaureate or higher degree (or equivalency) in nursing that includes advanced practice nurses (such as Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS) Nurse Practitioners (NP) Certifi ed Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA) and Certifi ed Nurse-Midwives (CNM)) nurse managers and nursing adminis-trators may qualify for H-1B status According to USCIS data the issuance of H-1B visas for specialty occupation nurses varies greatly from year to year In recent history the greatest number of H-1B nurse visas issued in any given fi scal year was only 136 The H-1B visa for specialty occupation nurses is avail-able to qualifi ed nurses from all foreign countries However the limited scope of eligible specialty occupations greatly narrows the potential use of the H-1B to fi ll US nursing job vacancies For instance many RNs may not qualify for an H-1B because employers and state licensing boards do not usually require a BSN to perform services as a registered nurse On June 11 2012 the H-1B cap has been reached and USCIS stopped accepting applications for H-1B The next H-1B season will be open on April 1 2013

THE H-1C NONIMMIGRANT VISAThe H-1C nonimmigrant classifi ca-

tion enables foreign nurses to perform services as a registered nurse in a US health professional shortage area as determined by the US Department of Labor To qualify for an H-1C visa both the employer and employee must meet certain eligibility criteria The US employer must 1) be a ldquosubsection (d)rdquo hospital under the Social Security Act 2) be located in a ldquoHealth Profes-sional Shortage Areardquo 3) have at least 190 acute care beds 4) have a Medicare population of no less than 35 5) have a Medicaid population of less than 28 and 5) be certifi ed by the Department of Labor

Since the H1-C nonimmigrant visa program sunset on December 20 2009 visas for hundreds of nurses have expired or will expire soon leaving H-1C authorized healthcare employers struggling to provide much-needed pro-fessional nursing care with a dwindling nursing staff HR 1933 is currently pending before the US Senate Judiciary

Committee which would reauthorize the H-1C nonimmigrant visa program Ac-cording to recent information provided by this committee HR 1933 remains on its agenda but is not yet scheduled for a Senate vote As drafted the bill will reauthorize the availability of 300 H-1C visas for an initial validity period of three years with the opportunity to renew H-1C status for an additional three years There is however no guar-antee that HR 1933 will be approved and become a law

THE H-3 TRAINEE VISAThe H-3 visa is a rarely used option

available to temporary workers includ-ing nurses The primary purpose of this visa is to enable the foreign nurse to receive training and not to provide productive employment unless such employment is incidental and necessary to the training It is better than the F-1 or student visa because they get paid during the training

The H-3 trainee has been defi ned by the Code of Federal Regulations as ldquoa nonimmigrant who seeks to enter the United States at the invitation of an individual or organization for the purposes of receiving training in any fi eld of endeavor such as agriculture commerce communications fi nance government transportation as well as training in a purely industrial establish-mentrdquo1 Physicians are not eligible to apply under this category but nurses are For nurses the basic requirements are 1) the proposed training is unavailable in the home country 2) the training is designed to benefi t the applicant in pur-suing her career in the home country 3) the nurse has passed the licensure exam in the country where she obtained her nursing education and 4) a statement from the petitioning employer that the applicant is fully qualifi ed to engage in the training

It is important that the employer dem-onstrate that the trainee will be returning to another country to use the skills he or she gained in the United States At the interview the applicant nurse must show that he or she will not abandon residence in a foreign country and that he or she intends to depart the United States at the end of the training program Therefore the H-3 petition may be denied if the applicant nurse has a certifi ed perma-nent labor certifi cation or has an I-140 Immigrant Petition fi led by the same employer on his or her behalf

The training program should not be longer than two (2) years There will be no extension change of status or re-admission to H or L status granted after two (2) years unless the alien resided and is physically present outside the United States for six (6) months This is not too bad compared to the J-1 trainee

who is required to stay in his or her home country for two years Spouses and children of the H-3 visa holder are eligible for H-4 dependent status

H-3 visa holders are given social security numbers and will be paid while undergoing the training However they should not be receiving as much as the regular employees because this can be perceived as displacing the US citizens

Philippine Star | Manila Philippines 792012 - The province of Bohol is out to reclaim its post as the top tourist destination in the country

This is the newfound vision of the government of Bohol which recently launched its newest tourism campaign mdash dubbed ldquoBohol Heart of the Islands Truly Philippinesrdquo mdash in partnership with Philippine Bohol Arts Foundation Institute (PABFI) and the provincersquos tourism stakeholders

Aimed at immensely boosting local and foreign tourist arrivals and making the province the countryrsquos preferred travel desti-nation the campaign showcases Boholrsquos rich cultural and historical heritage highlighting its rich eco-cultural value beyond the Chocolate Hills and the diminutive tarsiers the worldrsquos smallest primate

ldquoOther than the usual sites that are being promoted here the Loboc River the Chocolate Hills the tarsi-ers and the white sand beaches of Panglao there is more to discover in Bohol that will make a greater tourism impact not only for the province but also in relation to the Philippine context of promoting the countryrdquo said Bohol Governor Edgar Migrintildeo Chatto

The event held at the Centennial Hall in Manila Hotel gathered key public offi cials and tourism leaders

More Fun in the Philippines Bohol rolls out new tourism campaignincluding Manila Hotel president and former senator Joey Lina Philippine Tour Operators As-sociation (PHILTOA) president Cesar Cruz and Tourism Secre-tary Ramon Jimenez Jr

Others who graced the event were prominent travel program personalities Susan Calo Medina and Cory Quirino PBAFI execu-tive director Ria Cauton Tigum Bol-anon Tibuok Kalibutan (TBTK) president Betty Garcia Bohol Provincial Council chair Lucas Nunag board members of the province of Bohol and Amor Maclang director for PR and Communications of GeiserMa-

Bohol Governor Edgar Chatto and De-partment of Tourism Secretary Ramon Jime-nez shake hands during the unveiling of the Bohol campaign Bohol Heart of the Islands Truly Philippines

clang Marketing Communications Inc (GMCI) who later presented the marketing framework of the campaign

Located in Central Visayas Bohol literally sits in the heart of the Philippine archi-pelago Boasting diving sites revered as among the best worldwide the province is home to a number of natural wonders such as mdash aside from the Chocolate Hills mdash the biggest mangrove planta-tion in Asia and the Dajanon Bank the lone double-barrier reef in the region and one of

only six such marine structures in the world

Chocolate Hills do turn green during the rainy season

Apart from its diverse marine and terrestrial life and picturesque land-scapes a unique element that makes Bohol a truly quintessential Filipino destination is the great display of the remarkable and lively dynam-ics between the Filipinosrsquo inherent animistic and Catholic cultures

ldquoBohol and its people have a cer-tain respect and appreciation for her-itage and traditionrdquo Chatto shared ldquoThis is why we have come up with this campaign to highlight the capti-vating charm that Bohol exudes and the heartwarming hospitality offered by Boholanos themselvesrdquo

One of the things that Bohol would like to promote and enrich through its new tourism campaign is the element of nationalistic pride ldquoBy showing everyone how Boholanos have preserved practices and beliefs that other Filipinos have already

seemed to forget we are also able to emphasize the value of cherishing their heritagerdquo PBAFI executive Ria Cauton noted ldquoIn an age when our culture are soaked in various colonial ideas and infl uences thatrsquos really something that has become rarerdquo

Boholrsquos colorful history can be seen all over the prov-ince mdash especially when one looks upon its well-preserved Hispanic structures scattered

all over like the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in

Dauis which attracts thousands of devout Catholics every year and the Church of Our Lady of the Immacu-late Conception in Baclayon which is touted as Asiarsquos best-preserved Jesuit church

In addition other reasons that permit the province to say ldquoYou canrsquot say yoursquove been to the Philip-pines and truly experienced Filipino culture without having gone to Bo-holrdquo are its rich and distinct culinary offerings vibrant nightlife thriving art scene and ancestral craft-making practices All of these underscore the fact that indeed one of Boholrsquos main assets is its hospitable con-stantly jovial and honest people

ldquoYou donrsquot have to be from Bohol to love Boholrdquo revealed Secretary Jimenez ldquoItrsquos simply being part of a rich cultural experience that makes a visit to Bohol unforgettable The Loboc Childrenrsquos Choir for ex-ample has become a symbolic icon of the province precisely because as an American friend who heard them once said lsquoYou cannot sing the way they do if you are not happyrsquordquo

Take a fl oating lunch cruise along the Lob-oc River in Bohol

Corella is another inland town some 10 km north of Tagbilaran Bohol In Corella you can visit the Tarsier Sanctuary where tarsiers are observed protected and are freely living on its natural habitat

Just like in any part of the world a certain place will always have a spe-cifi c food that will be considered as its ldquospecialtyrdquo In Bohol Philippines there are also a lot of foods that tour-ists must try These Bohol foods are highly recommended that one must not leave Bohol without eating such foods otherwise their stay would not be very memorable

The Bohol food that tourists must try if they are by the Alona Beach is seafood The most recommended one is prawns Oftentimes this type of Bohol food is grilled One of the restaurants in Bohol that offer seafood is JASZ Restaurant This is a recommended restaurant because prices are affordable Other Bohol restaurants by the Alona Beach that offer seafood are the Panglao Beach Resort Restaurant Trudi and The Pyramid

Those who are not much into seafood may try dining at another Bohol restaurant called the Loboc River Cruise Lunch Recommended Bohol foods offered here include omelette grilled vegetables pork and chicken barbeque Seafood lov-ers are also suggested to visit this place as it serves superb seafood like lapu-lapu fi sh calamari and tigerprawns Tourists are suggested to have desert such as fresh fruits The prices of the Bohol foods at the Loboc River Cruise Lunch are quite expensive However nothing beats the taste of its foods as everything is just so delicious

If tourists want a Western-themed restaurant they must try out the Gar-den Cafeacute ndash American that is located in Tagbilaran City Placing orders at this restaurant is quite different from the usual restaurants that we go to One has to write down the orders and hand it over to the waitress This

THE METAMORPHOSISby Ernie D Delfi n America just turned 236 years

old In its over two centuries his-tory America has gone through the fi re that made it strong and stable Through countless trials during her lifetime such as the Civil War two World Wars many foreign wars like the Vietnam War and Iraqi War and civil unrests to name a few many American lives have been sacrifi ced to fi ght for what she believes in The last several years economic depressions or recessions that impoverished millions of people have become top issues in the country that have energized Amer-icans to debate intensely what is the right course for their country to pursue to better serve the well-being of her citizens and to bring back the luster and glory of America Due to national concerns on many is-sues like health care housing and global concerns on trade peace and foreign aid against the backdrop of an emerging superpower China Americarsquos national priorities and foreign policies will see a shift that will cause radical changes in this na-tion This election year will be an-other defi ning moment for America to steer Americansrsquo desire for their government to do to preserve its sta-tus as a superpower and envy of the world Despite its socio-economic problems and several foreign policy blunders that caused a signifi cant decline in Americarsquos infl uence in the world the last decade or so Ameri-cans are still a very lucky people as we are still guaranteed justice liberty and the pursuit of our own happiness that more than half of the earthrsquos population can just dream about

With that as a background I am quite grateful and fulfi lled this Independence Day 2012 as I also celebrated another birthday on July 5th (Philippine time) which is July 4th in America As 4th of July is a major holidays in the United States it has always been an opportune time for me to review my life and refl ect upon lifersquos meaning during this holiday amidst the elaborate fi re-works that surround the city where we live Having lived for over six decades now on this planet 60 of which in the American soil I can-not ask for more as I feel that I have had a ldquogood liferdquo on this earth with people I love and who love me too

The last 365 days since my last birthday were replete with surprises

events experiences and personal episodes that made me quite grateful that I am still alive and happy Like America as a person grows older (and wiser) his priorities change but his core values that serve as his compass remains constant That inexplicable feeling of joy and happiness as well as pains and suf-ferings often come to our lives as certain as the sunrise in the morning and sunset in the evening The past year has caused in me a good mix of human emotions happy sad scared regretful (for many things I have done or not done) hopeful and grateful that I am still alive and kicking today Less than a year ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and to the best of my memory I am the fi rst in my family to be stricken with that dreadful ldquoCrdquo ailment Such unexpected diagnosis from my annual medical exams has caused a very high degree of anxiety and ldquopains and sufferingrdquo within me and my family However I discovered solace and strength in my new found spiritual journey accepting that our Lord not us is in control of our lives and has admonished His people to ldquoBe not afraidrdquo Surprisingly I learned that His ldquoBe-not-afraid- advicerdquo appeared in the Bible 365 times

Thanks to my God the greatest Healer months after my surgery early this year my doctor told me that I am now a cancer survivor as my PSA level is now at negligible level He told me that he doesnrsquot want to see me more than twice a year now

Amidst that scary episode how-ever I also enjoyed many things during the past year like our month long adventure to Vienna Rome London and Paris with my one and only wife of over 30 years as our second honeymoon (many will be smiling or LOL with that bold disclosure) Another inventory of joyful accomplishments included the successful chartering of the Global Kalinga e-Rotary Club fi rst e- Club in Rotary District 3780 (and the second one in the entire Philip-pines) that I initiated and founded last year with 40 charter members who live in 6 countries that is expected to double by our fi rst An-niversary date in Oct 2012

This e-Rotary Club is like an infant that remains so tender and fragile that it needed a lot of patience and nourishment to grow But like lov-ing parents many of our committed

Independence Day 2012 and Birthday Refl ections

members are matured and patient enough to nurture this e-Rotary baby to develop it to become an Olym-pian athlete to compete in the near future Our GKeRotary Club has now members from many nationalities like Caucasians Hispanics Blacks Canadians Nigerians and Filipinos (from Luzon to Mindanao) who reside in as many 6 countries today As we grow in number with closer camaraderie among us doing many meaningful ldquoService Above Selfrdquo humanitarian proj-ects in the Philippines as well as in the city where we live we will have more FUN in this borderless e-Rotary Club than the traditional Rotary Club that meets weekly

Adhering to the ldquoSecretsrdquo in achieving a fulfi lled life by con-scious efforts (until they become unconscious efforts) to ldquobalanc-ing your Liferdquo into its essential quadrants PHYSICAL (to live) MENTAL (to learn) SOCIAL (to love) and SPIRITUAL (to leave a legacy) I have consciously put more time in one area that matters most (once you are over 60 like me) the ldquoleaving a legacyrdquo quadrant Itrsquos a fact of life that when you become a senior citizen you can no longer do many things nor eat many foods that you enjoyed when you were one and twenty when you were in high school or college so you simply adjust to your new reality Each morning that you wake up and able to walk and see the sunrise hear the chirping of birds smell the aroma of freshly brewed Healthy Coffee itrsquos always a small miracle and you thank the One Who gave you life Having accepted my own mortality that one day I will also meet my Maker I have replaced a good por-tion of ldquobusinessrdquo hours into vol-unteerism or ldquoService Above Selfrdquo hours in my church and several NGOs like the Rotary Interna-tional that truly render humanitarian works to others

Also for about fi ve years now I have been attending a weekly morn-ing Bible Study that has contributed greatly in the balancing of my life that is very hard to do in a materi-alistic society like the USA The word BIBLE has been creatively defi ned to mean ldquoB asic L essons B efore L eaving E arthrdquo and in so many ways it lsquos true All of us homo sapiens undergo that human journey like the biblical ldquoprodigal sonrdquo who must leave the family home goes away (to experience new things both good and bad) and hopefully comes back home (to his Father) as he must undergo some profound changes (for his own salvation) Life without any kind of metamorphosis the caterpillar would never become a beautiful and colorful butterfl y So does a person must undergo many phases of his transformation to enjoy his journey on this earth before he goes into that blissful state that many call Heaven or Paradise

Additionally last year I also fi nished by certifi cation classes and has been ldquocertifi edrdquo by the Diocese of Orange and the Orange County Sheriff to wear a white badge as a ldquoRestorative Justice Ministerrdquo aka ldquoPrison Detention Ministerrdquo where we visit and minister to the inmates in the Orange County Jails every week for Bible Study andor Catholic Com-munion Services every week

Meeting these ldquoinmatesrdquo (thatrsquos what they are called in County Jails in state or federal prison the incarcerated are called ldquoprisonersrdquo) and listening to them and ministering to their ldquospiritualrdquo needs on a weekly basis have an-nihilated many myths and miscon-ceptions that I used to hold ldquoagainstrdquo them Due to some educational and cultural biases I used to believe that all those in prison deserved to be there as they are ldquobadrdquo criminals but slowly I have softened that stand I now believe that although these in-mates are incarcerated they are still human beings also who still possess their human dignity as children of the same God Many martyrs and saints of the church like St John the Baptist and St Paul were also in prison The prison system is a part of the human society since biblical times and its worsening conditions in many areas are a sad refl ection of all of us en of the same God Many martyrs and our lives and He has admonished His people to ldquo

Punishments and Restorative

Justice are two schools of thoughts that are being administered in many prisons today The Catholic and many Christian churches advo-

cate that more must be done in the rehabilitation or in the Restorative Justice of inmates or prisoners in the Justice System to give back their human dignity even when they are incarcerated

Being a Prison Detention Minister and just listening and observing these inmates during our Catholic Communion Services that we do for them is another human experience

that can potentially convert a sinner like me into a better human being For instance I got an unexpected education from one woman inmate

when she declared ldquoI am now very happy that I was arrested for what I did I consider my arrest as my own rescue from a certain deathrdquo What a paradigm shift Now I can understand why there are many spiritual conversions that occur in prison because God does not leave a person wherever he is because He is everywhere

To any practicing Catholic (or any religion for that matter)

out there I highly recommend that he or she tries to see if becoming a Prison Detention or Restorative Jus-tice Minister is right for him or her It is a wonderful experience There is a great need for more dedicated and willing volunteers to minister to the spiritual needs of this growing prison population in America today

The foregoing column is a very sobering personal refl ection on

this 4th of July weekend that I am boldly sharing to all readers and my friends with a ray of hope that some may also be inspired to be an-other ldquoLamp in the City on the Hillrdquo for others to see the inexplicable wonders of God as He has mysteri-ously converted Saul the Christian persecutor into St Paul to become a great and fearless evangelist of our Christian faith

the maintenance of peace and stability respect for interna-tional law and unimpeded lawful commerce in the South China Seardquo

Clinton welcomed the meeting saying a slew of joint initiatives including disaster relief forestry policy and disease control were ldquoan important signal that the US and China not only can but will work together in Asiardquo

No threats and intimidationClinton also urged claimant

countries not to resort to threats and intimidation an indirect reference to China

ldquoWe believe the nations of the region should work collabora-tively and diplomatically to resolve disputes without coercion without intimidation without threats and without use of forcerdquo Clinton said

ldquoIssues such as freedom of navi-gation and lawful exploitation of maritime resources often involve a wide region and approaching them strictly bilaterally could be a recipe for confusion and even confronta-tionrdquo Clinton added

The US said stability is its concern in the waterway which carries $5 trillion in ship-borne trade account-ing for half the worldrsquos shipping tonnage

ldquoThe United States is going to be very clear in our determination to see progress on the code of conduct between those negotiations that are taking place between China and ASEANrdquo a senior US State Depart-ment offi cial told reporters earlier this week

Clearly outline positionClinton likewise urged ASEAN na-

tions ldquoto clearly outline its position on the Scarborough Shoalrdquo and ldquoto complete a regional code of conduct in a timely fashionrdquo

She warned about serious prob-lems to the regional bloc if ASEAN fails to address the challenge

ldquoWhat might be a challenge today for some of ASEANrsquos members if left unaddressed by all of ASEAN could lead tomorrow to issues that may become problems for other ASEAN membersrdquo she said

Clinton said the US ldquolooks to ASEAN and claimant states to provide leadership in this issue and recognizes the important role of the ASEAN chairman to fi nd consensus and advance a common ASEAN positionrdquo

ldquoASEAN needs to meet its own goals and standards and be able to speak with one voice on issues fac-ing the regionrdquo Clinton said

ASEANrsquos 10 members announced earlier this week that they have drafted a set of rules governing maritime rights and navigation and procedures for when governments disagree But China is not a member of the group and hasnrsquot agreed to anything

The ASEAN countries are present-

ing their proposal to China at this weekrsquos conference in Cambodiarsquos capital though Beijing will probably want to water down any language that ties its hands

For the US the diffi cult diplomacy ahead could be a major test of the Obama administrationrsquos efforts to ldquopivotrdquo American power toward the worldrsquos most populous continent Just speaking out on the subject already has helped the US deepen ties with Vietnam and relations are warming with other governments in the region

But countless meetings between American and Chinese offi cials have not led to progress on a lasting solution

Various longstanding disputes among China the Philippines Viet-nam Taiwan Malaysia and Brunei involve the arearsquos busy sea-lanes and many observers fear the compli-cated web of disputes could spark a violent confl ict

The standoff between China and the Philippines in Panatag (Scarbor-ough) Shoal began in April when the Philippines accused Chinese fi sher-men of poaching in its exclusive economic zone including the shoal During the tensions both sides sent government ships to the area though both have since withdrawn vessels

Vietnam has protested a recent an-nouncement by the China National Offshore Oil Corp opening nine oil and gas lots for international bidders in areas overlapping with existing Vietnamese exploration blocks Viet-nam says the lots lie entirely within its 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone and continental shelf

When conditions are ripeWith the ASEAN set to start

negotiations with China on a code of conduct Beijing said it is willing to work with member countries ldquowhen the conditions are riperdquo

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokes-person Liu Weimin said in a press conference in Beijing Monday that the code of conduct is not for the resolution of disputes in the West Philippine Sea

ldquoI would like to emphasize that the code of conduct aims not at resolv-ing the South China Sea disputes but boosting mutual trust and coopera-tion between the parties concerned in a joint bid to maintain peace and stability in the South China Seardquo Liu said

Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario for his part told the ASEAN meeting that ldquothe adher-ence of all countries in the region to a set of fair and transparent rules as embodied in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea will generate greater mutual trust and respect in the regionrdquo ndash AP Pia Lee-Brago

survive one must have a job but for one to prosper one must engage in business

For this I am not worried about my daughter She will never be unemployed a victim of closing or streamlining companies She has her own business with no overheads and she is in a higher notch than when she started and contin-ues to spiral up in her virtual store

Of course this is not for everyone This is not for the comfortable not for those who do not blaze trails not for the non-dreamers defi nitely not for those who choose to be with the ninety-fi ve percent of society who choose to be ordinary

Only fi ve percent of society dares to swim against the tides These are the likes of Steve Jobs Donald Trump Bill Gates and others like those who became millionaires in Amway

Knowing my daughter and if I am not mistaken I predict that she will persevere and succeed She is guided by the Scriptures and books written by those who have made it She is so disci-plined that she does not even watch TV She says Jessica Sanchez and Manny Pacquaio will not help her become fi -nancially free They could entertain you but when you go back to reality you are still in whatever state you are

AS THE BAMBOOS SWAY By Rudy D Liporada

A couple from church introduced Am-way to me in 1987 They showed a plan telling me that I could be a millionaire in two to fi ve years if I buy from my own store ndash soaps (both laundry and body) beauty products vitamins and many more ndash and share the dream with others

I did not care I just landed in America just two weeks before I came to Amer-ica to work in pursuit of my own kind of dream Besides even if I wanted to I did not have $8000 then to register plus I did not have lsquoothersrsquo to share dreams with

Fast forward to late 2010 My only daughter and youngest of my children then 18 gets wind of Amway She asks for $16700 so she could register to be-come what Amway calls an Independent Business Owner Although reluctant I shelled out the money After all it was not for drugs or something like that Then she tells us among others to buy from her store what we would be buying from other stores anyway Why make the other stores profi t when we should be patronizing her store The prices were competitive She changed our soaps toothpastes her momrsquos make-up kit drinks vitamins etc I did not really care To me shaving cream is shaving

cream laundry soap is laundry soap My daughter is happy I am happy

What I did not really know was she was growing her market She had others join her in her dream

In late 2010 she had to attend an Amway convention in Portland Oregon with her dozen team members ndash no one was over 21 years old They were going on a long drive for eighteen hours They needed two vans but no rent-a-car would allow them to rent the vehicles Grudg-ingly I acceded to her request that I and her mom rent one each of those vans and might as well join them ndash might as well be in the convention

And so we were there In front of ten thousand participants

couple after couple testifi ed how they realized their dream sharing Amway products They were former waitresses accountants doctors construction workers Navy Seals etc On gargantuan screens they fl aunted their villas jets yachts high end cars and their pleasure trips around the world They said that through patience and hard work for two to fi ve years they sailed to becoming millionaires ndash now waking up whenever they want and being full time moms and dads

I believed them If only one of them would be lying in front of ten thousand people the institution Amway would crumble down

Then I was angry There was this guy same as my age was a teacher like me He was on the stage as a millionaire and I was down there listening to him and I have nothing to show He got into Amway in the middle 90rsquos Deng It was introduced to me in 1987

I started reading their brochures and catalogs I came to the conclusion that mathematically you could really get rich doing this thing All you needed is the belief the emotional quotient strive patience and most of all your dreams

Nonetheless beyond the business be-yond the products beyond the dreams I treasure most what Amway has done to my daughter Instead of continuing to party like most of her peers she is reading the Bible upon waking up and follows this up with management and business related books She is in power business cloths instead of showing her belly buttons Most important before Amway she fi ghts with her mom Now they are the best of friends

So I tell my friends and acquaintances about Amway and its products Most of them because the company has been there for over 50 years have heard of it have been into it and have notions about it This is because Amway is the mother of networking and Amway stands for the American Way

Most of them too after I show or reshow them the product benefi ts and the principle of buying from your own store go back to Amway if they have been there before The main thing is all of them agree to the greatness of the products and appreciate the evolved and developed marketing system of the com-pany ndash for those in the know one does not have to horde products anymore to sell everything now is done on-line And if you are not computer suave one in the organization will do it for you because you at least know how to use your cell phone or you can directly call in the orders

Robert T Kiyosaki in his book Rich Dad Poor Dad says that in order for one to be fi nancially free one must have a business He means for one to only

Avoid immorality Every other sin a person commits is outside the body but the immoral person sins against his own body Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you whom you have from God and that you are not your own For you have been purchased at a price Therefore glo-rify God in your body (1Cor 618-20) I urge you therefore brothers by the mercies of God to offer your bodies as a living sacrifi ce holy and pleasing to God your spiritual worshipDo not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind that you may discern what is the will of God what is good and pleasing and perfect (Rom 121-2)

Words to Live By

Sa Aking Buhay (7)Sa aking buhay malimit akong maging atubili lalo na sa ikatatahimik nitong aking budhimay takot at pag-aalala aking mga sandalituloy magagandang bagay nakalampas ng madali

Sa aking buhay iniwasang pilit ang magkamali ang anuman gagawin korsquoy pag-iisipan ng mulikahit magdamagan pa ang gagawaing pagsusurisulit ang lahat bastarsquot walang mararamdamang hapdi

Sa aking buhay napagtanto ko ng tunay na tunayna kailanpaman ay walang lugar ang kasamaandahil kung mali din lamang ang tunay mong dahilanay talagang walang maganda itong kahihinatnan

Sa aking buhay natuklasan kong lsquodi lahat ng oras na dahil sa ang pakiramdam mo ngayon ay masarapay nakakasiguro kang magiging ayos ang lahatkasi hindi palaging ganoon ang nagiging wakas

Sa aking buhay ay aking napagwari ng taimtimna sa lsquoyong buhay ano nga ba ang tunay mong layunindahil sa kung ito ay lihis sa dakilang gawainang katotohanarsquoy wala ka talagang mararating

Ngayon kung maitatanong ko naman----- sa buhay mo

Joke of the Week Bill had a good friend who was a minister of long years standing They used to josh one another occasionally ldquoYou reverend think yoursquore so hotrdquo said Bill one day ldquoAfter all yoursquore only about 50 percent effective About half of the babies you baptize donrsquot stay Christians about half of the adults you convert donrsquot stay con-verted and about half the people you marry donrsquot stay marriedrdquo ldquoWersquore 100 percent on one pointrdquo answered his minister friend ldquoIf I were a bet-ting man Irsquod give you 1000 to1odds that all the people we bury stay buriedrdquo

Scriptures First Reading Jer-emiah 23 1-6 In Jeremiahrsquos time the people of the northern kingdom of Israel had been exiled to Assyria and the Israelites in the southern kingdom of Judah had been deported to Babylon There were lots of dev-astated lives and broken hearts The kings and leaders did not live up as true shepherds The prophet speaks of hope out of this dismal condi-tion God will raise a new shepherd who will rule with righteousness and unite Israel and Judah Sec-ond Reading Ephesians 2 13-18 Through Christ all religious barriers between Hebrews and non-Hebrews or Gentiles are now demolished Through Christrsquos redemptive work of salvation and reconciliation those who are ldquofar offrdquo and ldquonearrdquo are now brought together All have access to the Father with the Spirit

Gospel Mark 6 30-34 In the fi rst reading God renews the promise he made to his people 1) to bless hu-manity by bringing it back to a land where it can bear fruit abundantly

(an allusion to Genesis) 2) to raise a new king who shall rule his people justly and rightly (a promise made to Abraham and David) Christian view the blessing at creation story of Gen-esis and the promise of a new leader are both fulfi lled in Jesus Christ

Refl ections The Hebrew word for shepherd does not only mean a king and ruler it also connotes the notion of feeding defending caring

and providing Jeremiah denounced the shepherds of his time who cared for themselves alone and not for the fl ock that were entrusted to them From the Christian point of view Jesus Christ is the shepherd who restores hope to new Israel In turn Jesus wants his apostles to continue his shepherding mission

Reginald Fuller commented that in this Marcan passage the term ldquoapostlesrdquo was not originally a title but a function Jeremiah condemned Zedekiah and the last kings of Judah as shepherds who have misled the people These corrupt shepherds paid more attention to their own selfi sh vested interests than those of the fl ock The Marcan passage is implying that the apostles should

avoid committing the same serious mistake In Matthew 23 6-7 Jesus told his disciples ldquoThey (Scribes and Pharisees) love places of honor at banquets seats of honor in syna-gogues greetings in marketplaces and the salutation lsquoRabbirsquordquo The apostles are told not to put more emphasis on title such as ldquoapostlerdquo and less on responsibilities that come with it Instead they should put more weight on their duties and responsibilities Titles such as ldquodoctor teachers bishop reverend engineer lawyerrdquo denote functions and responsibilities But when a title gains more prominence than the re-sponsibilities that come with it title divides rather than unites people

PSYCHOLOGISTS HAVE PROPOSED THE FASCINATING CONCEPT OF THE DYAD (Greek dyacuteo ldquotwordquo) or bi-polar archetype Common functionaries such as doc-torpatient lawyerclient ministerparishioner and parents children are some archetypal roles Many of these roles are essentially linked to a partnering archetype hence the term dyad archetype To stress the supe-rior pole of the archetype doctor lawyer minister and parents over the other pole patient client parish-ioner and children breaks the dyad and negatively impacts both poles For instance a doctor who fails to recognize that there is a ldquophysi-cianrdquo in his patient breaks down the therapeutic relationship between him and his patient The same is true with a teacher who fails to see that he too is a ldquostudentrdquo who can learn from his students Ministers who forget that they too are in need of salvation treat their parishioners as inferiors Parents become domineer-ing and overbearing when they fail to learn from their children On the other hand the dyad is also broken when the inferior pole is emphasized over the superior pole When both poles recognize each otherrsquos strength and draw energies to enhance each otherrsquos well being there is true heal-ing learning ministering parenting and spirituality

We read in todayrsquos Gospel that Jesus invited his apostles to take a break from their tiresome activities Likewise we seek scenic vistas sun-ny beaches quiet and private places

to relax and unwind Leonardo da Vinci wrote ldquoEvery now and then go away have a little relaxation for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose power of judgment hellip Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be take in at a glance and lack of harmony or proportion is more readily seenrdquo Jesus mindful of his apostlesrsquo need for a breather after a hectic mission asked them to rest a while It was a rest aimed at energizing the apostles with the divine presence that would enable them to be more effective in their mission Onersquos summer vacation can also be an occasion to recharge our spiritual battery

ldquoNot without design does God write the music of our lives Be it ours to learn the time and not be discouraged at the rests If we say sadly to ourselves lsquoThere is no music in a restrsquo let us not forget there is the making of music in it The making of music is often a slow and painful process in this life How patiently God works to teach us How long He waits for us to learn the lessonrdquo (John Ruskin)

Quotation of the Week ldquoIf you keep a bow always bent it will break eventually but if you let it go slack it will be fi t for use when you want itrdquo Aesop

Spirituality in Dyadic Relationship

Spiritual Courage

Courage is connected with taking

risks Jumping the Grand Can-yon on a motorbike coming over Niagara Falls in a barrel or crossing the ocean in a rowboat are called courageous acts because people risk their lives by doing these things But none of these daredevil acts comes from the centre of our being They all come from the desire to test our physical limits and to become famous and popular

Spiritual courage is something completely different It is following the deepest desires of our hearts at the risk of losing fame and popular-ity It asks of us the willingness to lose our temporal lives in order to gain eternal life

Cayabyab lauds ABS-CBN Philharmonic

OrchestraABS CBN News | MANILA Phil-

ippines -- Acclaimed composer Ryan Cayabyab lauded the newly formed ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra which will make its fi rst major public debut at the ldquoIcons at the Arenardquo con-cert at the SM Mall of Asia Arena

Rehearsing this afternoon was a breeze The rare event on Saturday combines only the best Filipino art-ists together in the concert with the best musicians of the ABS-CBN Phil-harmonic What more can I ask for as musical director Ang ganda at ang sarap ng tugtuganrdquo said Cayabyab who is the musical director of

the all-star OPM concertCayabyab who composed OPM

classics such as Kay Ganda ng Ating Musika called the orchestra the newest most exciting addition to the top artists of the Kapamilya Network

He praised the orchestra members as arguably the best crossover musi-cians of the country who can perform all types and genres of music led by

a formidable music director Gerard Salonga

Early this year ABS-CBN and First Philippine Holdings Inc joined hands to promote an advocacy for Filipinos to connect and experience ldquorealrdquo and ldquogoodrdquo music Thus the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra was created to defy the notion that a full orches-tra is only limited to classical music

The 40-piece musical ensemble is also a fi rst in the history of ABS-CBN

ABS-CBN chairman Eugenio ldquoGabbyrdquo Lopez III stressed that the orchestra aims to provide music of the highest caliber to the general audience

ABS-CBN president Charo Santos-Concio on the other hand expressed her full support for the orchestra

and her optimism that this will be a signifi cant platform to celebrate the character and soul of Filipino music

According to ABS-CBN Philhar-monic Orchestrarsquos executive director Mickey Muntildeoz the orchestra shall also service the performance and music needs of ABS-CBN such as concerts as well as the musical scor-ing for movies

Muntildeoz also revealed that a youth orchestra is also being formed to train indigent but talented young Pinoys to play musical instruments

(In the last chapter PMA cadet Julius Madrigal buys a bible as New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Carlo entered his room from his bath He donned on a t-shirt from his strewn clothes which he would have to pack the following day Over the shirt he pulled over a lengthwise striped sweater which made him appear taller than his five foot and a half frame He then went to the mirror and combed his still damp straight hair parting it on its left side He smiled checking his well set teeth He felt clean

Cleanliness is next to Godliness Monday after the New

Year he would be back to nearer Godliness His two weeks vacation would be over He would be back to where he would like to dedicate himself to be really next to Godli-ness

Again he would be back where everyday the brrriinnnggg brrr-riiiinnggg brrriinnnnggg wake up bell that permeates throughout the seminary walls would swirl into his eardrums and into his innermost soul jolting him to slide off the bed and be on his knees when sunrays slice through the windows of where he had confined himself to be nearer to Godliness Still in the throes of being awake his right hand flies to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Hail Mary full of gracehelliphe falls back into the abyss of nothingness but a second alarm ndash briiinnggg briiinggg brii-ingggg would bring back the swirl into his eardrums permeating into

his soul jolting him back to the re-ality that he is already on his knees Hail Mary full of gracehelliphas he said three already He would goad himself and fight against falling back into the abyss of nothingness for the umpteenth time Has he said three Hail Maries already He decides that since he had lost count he would complete three Hail Maries even if he already went over the count He would add an Our Father and a Glory Be

He gets up and staggers himself towards the exit of the dormitory towards the wash basins He passes other seminarians still in various pose of waking up on their knees or staggering out like himself The silkiness or fadedness of their paja-mas distinguishes who among them come from richer or poorer families

After freshening up he dons his white shirt and pants and black neck-tie He then marches out to join the other seminarians lining up in front of the chapel They appear like equal angels without wings Only tie clips shoes belts or brands of watches distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families

Equally mandated each one clasps his hands palms together on his chest They proceed to their assigned pews while cherubim like hymns fill the air

And the rite beginsDominus VobiscumhellipEt cum

spiritu tuohellipOra pro nobis kneelhellipsithellipstandhellipsit againhellipmostly kneel - all in sanctity to commune with the Spirit and the saints

By the offertory sanctity could be broken as Carlorsquos stomach as well as othersrsquo would growl pleading that the fangs of hunger be quelled But they have to wait though now find it hard to be in communion with the Spirit and the saints

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Finally it would be lsquoGo in peace the mass is endedrsquo

In seeking peace for their hunger they still have to be saintly tip-toe out of the chapel Their shoes then would scrape on the hallways in they dash to the dormitories in the rush to change into their school clothes

Now their over-all clothing demeanors ndash shirts pants sweaters socks shoes ndash starkly distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families Nonetheless richer or poorer they remained equal in the need to quell the fangs of hun-ger as they rush to the rectory hall

A sunny side two sausages fried rice from leftovers the night before crowd on each of the eight plates on each of the ten tables at the rec-tory The coffee would be soggy but would still be a welcome brew to enliven our breakfast which is equal for all The food they are about to receive from His bounty made them all equal except that there are also apples and juice and non soggy cof-fee at the head table where the Flem-ish rector Flemish assistant rector and Flemish principal are

Their stomachs would now really be howling gurgling clamoring for whatever they have to partake on but they all had to equally wait for the last seminarian to enter the dining hall half embarrassed half rever-ent The rector frowning for the delay would glare at the late comer before his right hand would fly to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Bless us Oh Lord in these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord Amen

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Amen

The last vestiges of reverence would now be broken as the ter-restrial need to fortify onersquos body takes precedence over the needs of the soul Chairs screech as the seminarians slide unto them Spoons and forks bang to scrape on eggs sausages and rice as they slide from the plates into munching mouths to mediate the growling gurgling stomachs

After a while Carlo would be satisfied with the egg two sausages fried rice and soggy coffee He would then have more time to often wonder why those Flemish priests also have apples juice and non soggy coffee while the seminar-ians do not Often he dismisses

the thought to just because they are already priests priests who are white because they have a different culture Nonetheless he often asks himself didnrsquot Jesus Christ share the same enliven bread and fish with his apostles

Often he would also feel guilty that having such kind of thoughts about inequality with the priests could be sacrilegious and wonders if he had to go to the con-fessional for that

Such thoughts however would vanish as he immerses himself with the day of classes ndash geometry Latin physics basketball volleyball lunch more studies ping-pong ro-sary and the long litanies and night prayers

The thoughts of inequality how-ever would invade his mind again the following day right after the br-riinnggg brrriinggg brriingggg and the regimen begins

And the regimen he would be go-ing back to made the short Christ-mas holiday break really shorter Nonetheless he had dedicated himself to the vocation and glad that no one or nothing during the vaca-tion made him feel that it was really short He had again passed the test of being out of the seminary walls with still the resolve that he would be going back for Godlinessrsquos sake

Vacations are not only respites from the sanctified isolationrsquos regimen They are tests to how one would not succumb to the calls of the human flesh in the outside world Should one not be able to resist temptations it would be better for one to fall away from the calling earlier than later after one is fully vested when the faithful would be subject to disillusionment

Nonetheless tonight Carlo would indulge in a simple call of the flesh He was ready for the dinner prepared by his mother one much better than the feasts of the priests

The MoringaMalunggay Tree with its edible leaves flowers and pods is one of most power packed nutritious trees in the world It goes by many different names drumkstick tree the Miracle tree the Never Die Tree the Miracle tree

I wrote an article on that subject here but it is also one of the most healing trees in the world All of the tree is ei-ther used for food medicine or cooking It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for hundreds of years to both prevent and treat almost 300 diseasesThe in-formation in this article is not based on double blind research but on the histori-cal and current usage of Moringa leaves flowers and pods in India and many other countries This is how the people have used it in the past and how they use it now Much of this information was observed and documented in the different health projects by physicians in their treatment of AIDS malnutrition and disease In India Ayurvedic physi-cians use it in their standard treatment protocols

How can Moringa leaves have an im-pact on so many problems Many health problems are due to poor nutrition malnutrition and imbalanced disease states which result in immune system breakdown and disease When you correct those imbalances and nutritional deficiencies with super packed nutritious food it is bound to improve health and disease states The ability for Moringa leaves flowers bark and pods to have such diverse healing effects is due to the vitamins minerals antioxidants and healing elements the tree contains

A review of Moringas power packed nutrition

Here is a nutritional breakdown of Fresh Moringa Leaves 7 times the Vitamin C of Oranges 4 times the Cal-cium of Milk 3 times the Potassium of Bananas 2 times the Protein of Yogurt 4 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and frac34 the iron of Spinach

Moringa leaves when dried become a even greater powerhouse of nutri-tion containing frac12 the Vitamin C of Oranges 17 times the Calcium of Milk 15 times the Potassium of Bananas 9 times the Protein of Yogurt 25 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and 20 times the Iron in Spinach All elements except the Vitamin C is increased when you dry the leaves under low temperatures Drying the leaves in direct sunlight decreases its nutritional values

How Moringa and Artemisia Annua Leaves benefit AIDS Patients

There are health projects going on

in Tanzania Musoma and other areas There is a real AIDS crisis in these areas In these AIDS cases the doctors have found that the combination of two herbs Moringa and Artemisia Annua improved the energy stamina and CD4 counts of the AIDS patients Some of their patients came in so weak they were not able to walk or care for them-selves They improved so dramatically that many were able to go back to work and many stayed to help the incoming patients These dramatic improvements were documented over and over again by the doctors in these health projects

How the herbs were used in the treat-ment protocols

The physicians combined dried Mor-inga Leaves with Artemisia Annua and then added one heaping teaspoonful of the powder to make a tea A liter of tea using 5 grams of the powder was given 3 times a day to the patient while the symptoms were acute Later when the patients improved it was reduced to a cup a day When you consider the super nutrition in Moringa leaves it is easy to understand how the Aids patients would improve The power packed nutrition would bolster their immune function strength stamina and ability to live a more normal active life

Moringa does NOT cure AIDS but helps the AIDS patient live longer and improves their quality of life and health Often the AIDS patient does not die from AIDS but from one of the opportunistinfections that prey on their compromised immune system

Moringa Leaves effects on blood pres-sure blood sugar breast milk produc-tion and anemia

In India the leaves are used to normalize blood pressure and to treat anxiety In 1994 a team of researchers identified a new nitride and mustard oil glycoside that demonstrated its ability to lower blood pressure

An infusion of the leaf is used to reduce sugar levels though not as ef-fectively as the standard hypoglycemia medicine

Moringa leaves mixed with honey then followed with coconut milk drunk 2 to 3 times a day is used for diarrhea dysentery and colitis

Moringa leaves have been observed and documented by doctors in the health projects to increase breast milk produc-tion and the health of nursing mothers This is due to the nutrition in the leaves especially the protein calcium and iron

Refreshing News | 7122012 -- Top experts separate the fact from myth once and for all--and reveal some surprises in the process Myth 1 Eating at Night Makes You Fat FACT If your overall calorie intake is appropriate for weight loss or maintenance it may benefit you to eat something after dinner says Joni Rampolla RD Director of Nu-trition and Wellness for Medifast

Late-night calories will ultimately get used the next day (and even while you sleep) To keep your en-ergy levels up it is better to spread your calories out during the day when your body needs fuel Aim to eat something every two or three hours This will stabilize blood sugar levels and help you feel full and energized all day

If you do need a late-night snack consider keeping it to 200 calories or less

Myth 2 Hunger is a sign you need food FACT The body commonly sends cues of hunger when it is dehydrated sleep deprived or sensing psycho-logical hunger If yoursquore not drinking enough water or getting enough sleep this alone can cause you to sense hunger even though yoursquore full Rampolla says

Myth 3 Losing weight is harder than keeping it off FACT More than 90 percent of dieters regain the weight they lost (or more) once they ldquofinishrdquo their plan Rampolla says If you resume eating the foods you ate before los-ing weight you will gain the weight back-and maybe a few extra pounds Herersquos why After weight loss your slimmer body requires fewer calo-ries to function Plus if your weight-loss plan does not include enough protein you might lose muscle mass in addition to excess fat Why thatrsquos bad Muscle burns more calories than fat does so losing muscle will lower your metabolism

Every day make a positive decision to stay on track with your new healthy lifestyle Maintaining healthy eating habits is a lifelong commitment and takes persistence Rampolla says

Myth 4 Exercise makes you tired FACT As the body gets in better shape most people feel exercising gives them more energy than before Regular exercise can also help fight fatigue improve your sleep and manage your stress says Gina Crome MS MPH RD and Top 10 FitOrbitcom trainer

Myth 5 Working out is a big time commitment FACT To main-tain a healthy weight you can work out as little as 20 to 40 minutes most days of the week If your goal is to lose weight itrsquos advised that you aim for about 45 to 60 minutes each day Crome says

The best part You donrsquot need to fit it all into one session Most of us can find five to 10 minutes to spare

at different points in the day Using these spare minutes throughout the day to be active adds up quickly and eventually becomes a regular part of your healthy lifestyle

Myth 6 Lower-body workouts will give you lean legs faster FACT The type of exercise you do does not affect the number of fat cells in a specific area Crome says Even if you do 100 abs exer- cises every day without proper nutri-tion quality sleep and a well-round- ed fitness routine you might never achieve the toned flat stomach you want You will help develop the muscles in that area but that doesnrsquot equate to fat loss

When the body loses

fat it does so

in a

sys-

temic fashion-all over the body at the same time Aside from surgical procedures such as liposuction there is no way to direct or influence the elimi-nation of fat from

specific areas Crome says Myth 7 You should

only eat carbs when yoursquore ac-tive FACT This myth is based on the belief that since carbs are the bodyrsquos preferred energy source you shouldnrsquot eat them when yoursquore inactive-like most people are in the evening However many individuals have atypical schedules or regularly exercise after work These people benefit from consuming appropri-ate amounts of carbohydrates in the evening to fuel their lifestyle says John Bosse RD and Member of the Research amp Development team for USANA Health Sciences

For someone who is sedentary in the evening a small high-protein snack such as 23 cup of full-fat cottage cheese or a protein shake can actually help you stay slim Research shows that eating high-quality protein at regular intervals promotes better body composition and since a lot of time passes between dinner

and breakfast this small snack is a smart strategic move

Myth 8 Heavy weights will make you bulky FACT Unless yoursquore taking in substances that alter your hormone profile (anabolic ste-roids) it is highly unlikely that you will gain large amounts of muscle Bosse says Doing a high number of reps (20+) using light weights and stopping each set well before the point of muscular failure certainly helps improve fitness and burn calo-ries but itrsquos not the best way to get a lean toned body What is Integrate periods of heavier training (six to 10 reps) with some sets taken to muscular failure The ability to build muscle is very different for men and women and should not be confused Bosse says

Myth 9 You should do a juice cleanse to detox FACT Our bod-ies are extremely smart and have built-in processes for detoxing every day says Kristen Carlucci RD reg-istered dietitian and nutrition expert for Pitney Bowes Inc

Yes people lose weight on juice cleanses but not because of any mir-acle ingredient or because your body is cleared of toxins that are slowing

down your metabolism Weight lost during a cleanse is most likely

a result of taking in far fewer calories than

usual While fill-ing up on fruits

and vegetables is a positive thing the problem with juice cleanses is that they are a tem-porary fix They donrsquot teach you the balanced nutrition habits you should be forming in order to lose weight and keep it off for good Carlucci says

Myth 10 Carbs are the en-emy FACT With the onset of the low-carb diet craze many people deny themselves this major food group This concept is misunder-stood because itrsquos not the carbohy-drates themselves that cause weight gain itrsquos the fact that for many of us itrsquos difficult to control the portion sizes Carlucci says

Instead of cutting out carbs alto-gether (which does not sound fun at all) focus on choosing the right carbs in the proper portions Stick with whole-grain pastas and breads (each slice should have 100 calories or less and should contain at least 3 grams of fiber) and try to fill no more than 14 of your plate with starch Limit pasta to 1 cup cooked and choose potatoes that are about the size of a computer mouse

The 10 Most Misunderstood Diet and Fitness Strategies Fatty Acid Found in Fish Prevents Age-

Related Vision Loss Study Suggests

ScienceDaily (May 30 2012) mdash An omega-3 fatty acid found in fish known as DHA prevented age-relat-ed vision loss in lab tests according to recent medical research from the University of Alberta

Yves Sauveacute a researcher in the Faculty of Medicine amp Dentistry and his team discovered that lab models fed DHA did not accumulate a toxic molecule at the back of the eyes The toxin normally builds up in the retina with age and causes vision loss

ldquoThis discovery could result in a very broad therapeutic userdquo says Sauveacute whose work was recently published in the peer-reviewed jour-nal Investigative Ophthalmology amp Visual Science

ldquoIn normal aging this toxin increases twofold as we age But in lab tests there was no increase in this toxin whatsoever This has never been demonstrated before -- that supplementing the diet with DHA could make this kind of differencerdquo

The team recently started another study looking at people who have age-related macular degeneration a condition that results in loss of central vision and is the main cause of blindness in people over the age of 50 The researchers will look for DNA markers in the blood of study participants The team wants to determine whether participants with certain genetic markers will respond better to increasing amounts of DHA in their diet and if so why

Sauveacute is a researcher in the departments of ophthalmology and physiology at the U of A

Various organizations funded the research the primary funder was the Canadian Institutes of Health Research

Courtesy of WebMD -- Who doesnrsquot enjoy a tall cool glass of juice The color is vibrant the taste sweet and itrsquos good for you too Not so fast say some dietitians Although the best kinds of juice deliver a bounty of vitamins the worst are hardly better than liquid candy WebMD helps you spot the difference

Drinking your veggies is a conve-nient way to add powerful plant-based nutrients to your diet The lycopene in tomato juice appears to lower the risk of prostate cancer Beet juice may reduce blood pres-sure Pulpy vegetable juice is also packed with fiber that can help con-trol hunger And all of these benefits come without a catch Vegetable juice has far less sugar and fewer calories than the typical fruit juice but it is high in sodium unless you choose the low salt version

Be on alert for the terms juice cocktail juice-flavored beverage or juice drink Most of these prod-ucts contain only small amounts of real juice The main ingredients are usually water and some type of sugar such as high-fructose corn syrup Nutritionally these drinks are similar to most soft drinks mdash rich in sugar and calories but low in nutri-ents Research suggests that sug-ary fruit drinks put kids at risk for obesity and related health problems The 2010 Dietary Guidelines recom-mends water over sugary drinks

If yoursquore only going to drink one glass of juice each day you want to make it a good one So letrsquos ex-plore which juices offer the biggest nutritional payoff per sip Pomegran-ate juice tops the list Itrsquos high in sugar and calories but delivers an abundant dose of antioxidants These substances appear to protect brain function and may ward off cancer In one study 8 ounces of pomegranate juice daily reduced the recurrence of prostate cancer

Cranberry juice is packed with vitamin C which is vital to a healthy immune system There is also evidence to support a folk remedy -- drinking unsweetened cranberry juice may help reduce your risk of urinary tract infections

Substances in blueberries may help keep the brain healthy In a small study researchers looked at the effect of blueberry juice on memory in adults in their seven-ties who had age-related memory decline Those who drank 2 12 cups of blueberry juice for 12 weeks had significant improvement on learning and memory tests compared to those who drank a non-juice beverage So choose blueberry juice to boost brain health

Researchers have only begun look-ing into the health benefits of acai juice which is made from a berry found in South America But early studies are promising Acai pulp appears to have a higher concentra-tion of antioxidants than cranber-ries blackberries strawberries or blueberries

Besides delivering a wealth of antioxidants some berry juices appear to have anti-inflammatory properties According to one study drinking cherry juice before and after your work-out can reduce exercise-induced muscle pain

Wersquove all heard that red wine in moderation can be good for the heart The same is true of red grape juice Red grape juice contains po-tent antioxiodants -- flavanoids and resveratrol The key is that wine and juice are made with the entire grape -- seeds skin and all When you eat fresh grapes you miss out on nutri-ents hiding in the seeds

Another viable folk remedy prune juice has long been recommended to relieve constipation It works because itrsquos extremely high in fiber and contains a natural laxative called sorbitol But the benefits of prune juice donrsquot stop there The juice is also packed with antioxidants iron and potassium

Itrsquos a staple at breakfast but does this popular juice carry its weight The good news is orange juice is loaded with vitamin C a star for its immune-boosting benefits In addition orange juice is often forti-fied with calcium and vitamin D nutrients that strengthen the bones

TECH IT FROM MY BARBER by Benjamin Maynigo

Yesterday I received a reminder from the international headquarters of the International CES organizers that reg-istration to the conference and exhibit show just started

I am encouraging Asian Journal read-ers who are consumer technology pro-fessionals andor enthusiasts to attend and register early Registration now until August 31st is free but it will cost $100 starting September 1st and will increase to $200 on January 2 2013

This is the most important global tech-nology event of the year I have attended it every year for more than a decade now It had grown in terms of atten-dance and exhibit participation annually since I started going

During the International CES 2012 there were more than 140000 of us at-tending For International CES 2013 it is expected to attract more than 150000 top executives retail buyers content providers entertainment executives venture capitalists engineers govern-ment offi cials and media from 150 countries

Innovations Inventions and Initia-tives in several aspects of life will be on display New innovations in hardware software and apps cloud computing lifestyle technologies digital health and automotive technologies will be featured

As I have described in my previ-ous articles attending the likes of the International CES is like witnessing ldquolittle miraclesrdquo created and performed by fi nite beings as if guided by some Infi nite Being

I always enjoyed watching the demos of new products either vying to be in the Top 10 Gadgets Standing or just exhibit-ing them in their respective booths

It is always nice to see the best Mobile Apps demonstrated by developers and analyze their relevance as tools to inform or be informed to educate and be educated to entertain and be enter-tained and to be effi cient and effective

As a member of Press I am lucky to be provided with samples of some of the new products and technologies for review I also get to interview the CEOs of the companies that are launching and demonstrating their new gadgets

The 2013 CES will feature 3000 global technology companies unveiling the latest consumer technology products and services Among the major catego-ries of these products are electronic gaming entertainmentcontent digital imagingphotography connected home technologies automotive electronics audio video TV and many more

The brave non-violence of the

Subaanen peopleby Fr Shay Cullen PREDA

Some thousands of indigenous people all over the Philippines es-pecially in Mindanao especially the Subaanen people on the Zamboanga Peninsula have struggle for years to stop mining corporations from moving in to explore and mine the mountains and hills They are victims of corrupt government offi cials and even judges who are captivated by the vested inter-est of the mining industry

Some Indigenous people are sadly being forced to turn to armed resis-tance as the mining corporations move into their lands The Subaanen people have remained steadfastly non-violent and turned to the rule of law and trust in the constitution to protect them and their rightsBut is it enough

Hundreds of thousands of hectares of ancestral land has been threatened by the illegal and corrupt acts of some offi cials of the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Allegedly some of these offi cials are not on the side of the people in Mindanao but are for the rich and powerful mining interests and the banks that fund them

They allegedly enrich themselves by giving mining permits to companies

over ancestral lands which is forbidden by law It is at this level in the provinc-es where the anti-corruption campaign of President Aquino is weakest He has deposed a former president and a chief Justice but not yet the corrupt offi cials in Mindanao While the president is dedicated and honestly trying to clean up the stinking garbage of corrup-tion he cannot seemingly oust these entrenched offi cials the henchmen and women of powerful political families

They do not have allegiance to their department cabinet secretary or the president In fact they are ones who defy the president and are the hardest to get rid off The presidents politi-cal allies could be behind the corrupt practices that is opening the way for the illegal logging and issuance of mining permits They are pushing the president to override the provincial governments bans on open pit mining He must resist this pressure

Mining companies that get a permit to explore and mine also get a logging permit for the cutting the trees in the area alloted to them for mining This is totally destructive and is a way around the presidential ban on logging which goes on unabated Just drive through Mindanao and you will pass twenty or thirty huge trucks hauling cut logs I have seen them myself

For many years the Subaanen people and their supporters have stood peace-fully for their rights courageously and bravely to stop the local dynastic families and their cronies in the Inter-national mining industry from mining

their ancestral lands The Subaanen have been non-violent and trusted the democratic rule of law to save them

Their breakthrough cam in August 2011 when the Supreme Court of the Philippines granted a Writ of Ka-likasan (A protection of nature) to the people to protect the environment of the whole of the Zamboanga Peninsu-la A Writ of Kalikasan is a powerful legal remedy under Philippine law which provides for the protection ones right to a balanced and health-ful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature as provided for in Section 16 Article II of the Philippine Constitution It protects ones right for a healthy environment against damage of such magnitude that it threatens life health or property of inhabitants in two or more cities or provinces But the government of-fi cials are ignoring the Supreme Court order

Bishop Jiminez and three other bishops and an archbishop signed a letter to the London based sharehold-ers of the mining company RTZ-CRA trying to get the offi cials to stop the mining and logging wrote to the shareholders

In part he letter said ŠSince the company has the right to expatriate all the profi ts you the shareholders will probably earn some money However many of our people who own the lands where all the minerals are will become paupers Our rivers and seas

In travelling the countryside or while you are crossing the street driving your car taking the subway bedridden in the hospital or stuck in prison dont forget to say your Rosary every day Let the beads slip between your fi ngers they also slip between the fi n-gers of the Holy Father at the Vatican those of a grandmoth-er in Alaska a child on a hill in Rwanda a football player on a fi eld in Rio a Carthusian monk in his cell a Carmelite in her cloister or young evangelists on a mission

The Rosary is the certainly the prayer of the poor and the small the

sick and the suffering par excel-lence Yes always and everywhere not only in space but also in time The latitudes of the planet and longi-

tudes of history crisscross

The Hail Mary has moistened the lips of mil-lions of all ages races and nations How many chil-dren learned it as their fi rst prayer How many of the

dying whispered it as their ultimate testament The Hail Mary is a syn-thesis of two fi rst names Mary and Jesus

Father Daniel Ange

Never Forget to Say Your Rosary Everyday

Daily Meditation Listening With

Our Wounds To enter into solidarity with a suf-

fering person does not mean that we have to talk with that person about our own suffering Speaking about our own pain is seldom helpful for someone who is in pain A wounded healer is someone who can listen to a person in pain without having to speak about his or her own wounds When we have lived through a pain-ful depression we can listen with great attentiveness and love to a depressed friend without mentioning our experience Mostly it is better not to direct a suffering persons attention to ourselves We have to trust that our own bandaged wounds will allow us to listen to others with our whole beings That is healing

July 10 2012 Daily Meditation Text excerpts taken from Bread for the Journey by Henri JM Nouwen copy1997 HarperSanFrancisco All Scripture from The Jerusalem Bible copy1966 1967 and 1968 Darton Longman amp Todd and Doubleday amp Co Inc

Q How do you describe a luke-warm soul

A Jesus said lukewarm souls are souls who if He can only vomit out He will They are the souls He wanted to vomit out when He was in calvary Like in Geth-semane He said if it is only possible that He will not have to drink the cup He will not drink from it because these are the souls who are already in the light but decided to transfer to darkness That is why our Lord said what these souls are doing is the most hurting thing for Him

Q What makes Jesus happy

A What makes Jesus happy is if you can love your enemy Because how can you face God and beg for His mercy if you are not also merciful The truth is it is very diffi cult to love our enemy But there is a secret And the secret is fi rst of all we have to conquer our selves The truth is our num-ber one enemy is ourselves

because pride is in us hatred is in us all the negative are in us But if you are able to conquer your self if we are

able to defeat ourselves it means we do not have anymore pride no more hatred no more envy no more nega-tive and if all the negative are gone

it will be very easy to love your enemy

The truth is it is very easy to say ldquo I forgive yourdquo but it only comes from the mouth Deep inside the negatives are still in your heart and if it is not removed it will remain with you forever That is why you need to remove the negative You can only remove these if you love your enemy Because if you love your enemy ev-erytime you pray he is always included in your prayer and everytime you pray for your enemy slowly the thorn is be-ing removed and if the thorn is removed completely that will make Jesus very happy

To love an enemy means it is not necessary to like Just pray for him Do not say anything against him

a good chance that we will be able to extend this forward momentum as we anticipate better fi rst-half earnings from our listed fi rms The latest sovereign credit rating up-grade also provides additional support for future growth so overall I think we are in a terrifi c position to keep on im-provingrdquo PSE president Hans Sicat said in a press statement

Last July 5 the PSEi again beat its previous record high to post a fresh all-time high at 536998 As of July 6 the PSEi was the top performing market in Asia with a gain of 227 percent year-to-date beating bourses in Singapore Indonesia Malaysia Thailand Vietnam Hong Kong India and China among others

In the fi rst six months cyclical stocks banking and property led the PSEirsquos rise in the fi rst quarter albeit all indices were on the green

The fi nancial index emerged as the best performer in the fi rst half after surging by 346 percent to the 130442 level The fi nancial index was likewise the best performer in terms of bot-tomline based on fi rst-quarter earnings culled by the PSE

The next best performer was the property index which jumped by 301 percent to fi nish at 192748 in the fi rst half

The holding fi rms index rose by 281 percent to the 448880 level

Other indices performed as follows in the fi rst six months the industrial index rallied by 108 percent to fi nish at 783957 the services index climbed by 88 percent to 175902 -the mining and oil index crept higher by 48 percent to 2462948 points

ldquoJust like our main index investor confi dence in Philippines Inc is at an all-time high Whatrsquos remarkable is that we have been able to achieve unprec-edented growth even in the midst of ongoing uncertainties in the Western hemisphere and a cooling Chinese economy This is a testament to the effectiveness of the reforms that the country has undertaken which further contributed to the stable macroeconomic environmentrdquo Sicat said

The PSEirsquos fi nish in the fi rst six months was higher by 95520 points from its previous close of 429121 in the same period last year

The combined market capitalization of issues listed on the PSE during the January to June period stood at P1005 trillion up by 128 percent from a year ago

Total turnover for the fi rst half reached P94773 billion or 432 percent higher than the P66181 billion registered in the same period the previous year Average daily turnover stood at P764 billion an increase of 455 percent year-on-year

Danilova attributed this to the Russian language which ldquois not as polite as Englishhelliprdquo

ldquoSo when Russians translate directly from Russian to English it can sound rude to an English speaker even if they donrsquot mean it tordquo Danilova ldquoRussians tend to consider British people extremely polite due to their courteous way of speakingrdquo

I once asked my mentor how I could repay him for his kindness He told me to help 100 other people and my debt would be repaid in full Irsquod like to help at least a million people It is great to be recognized by your peers but I feel I should be recognizing the commu-nity for their steadfast and unwavering support for me and my colleagues at IW Grouprdquo said Bill Imada Chairman amp CEO IW Group Inc - Philanthropy Leadership honoree

In spite of the challenging fundraising environment APCF was successful at raising more than $150000 that was dis-tributed among its 29 Affi liate Agencies which provide health and human ser-vices to Asian and Pacifi c Islander (API) and other ethnic communities in need throughout Los Angeles County The mission of APCF is to build healthier and stronger API communities working with its affi liates corporate and commu-nity partners and individuals to generate resources for this often overlooked and under-served population

In addition special grant presentations were made by Verizon and Walmart totaling $100000 For the second year Verizon is funding APCFrsquos scholarship program for students pursuing higher education in the science technology engineering and math related fi elds In a time when students are faced with signifi cantly rising costs of obtaining a college degree it is important that there is support for these students in the Asian and Pacifi c Islander communities A total of $25000 in scholarship awards will be given out in 2012

Shooting StarPoem No 9

I wish I was a shooting star streaking through the night sky

Being here and there in brief fl ash of light

And really nowhere to be found

Me in your life being caught in your universe

Running around in circles ever nearing your space

Seeking the face by which I am doomed to certain death

Like a fl ash like a bang I am nowhere to be found

Me in your life caught in your universe streaking aimlessly

towards destruction envying the celestial dance between Moon

and Sun Sun and earth earth and heaven seeking freedom

from my desolated journey in you I found destruction through

my destruction I found my freedom

picture we were a small part of the overall Operation Tomadachi mis-sion but since external dosimetry was required for all personnel enter-ing the radiological warm zone for humanitarian assistance the USNH Yokosuka radiation health team took on the monumental challenge of en-suring personnel were appropriately monitoredrdquo

Ordinario was aided by a team of radiation health staff which included deployed technicians deployed from stateside commands to support Op-eration Tomadachi ldquoThe augmented staff from different Navy Medicine Commands was vital part of being able to carry out our missionrdquo said Ordinario ldquoBeing recognized for the efforts the radiation health team did during Operation Tomadachi

is an honor and a testament to the hard work that was put in by all involvedrdquo

The Capt Ernest W Brown award established in 1986 is presented in memory of the late Capt Ernest ldquoEWrdquo Brown and recognizes an individual for excellence in Navy Occupational Health Preventive Medicine andor Health Promo-tion programs at the activity level Brown was a renowned researcher in the fi eld of biochemical warfare submarine medicine and occupa-tional medicine In 1941 he suc-cessfully implemented the ambitious industrial hygiene and forerunner of our Navy program today -- Re-printed from Seahawk Umitaka (submitted by Daughlet Ordinario of San Diego CA)

Seaoil karter Gabriel Cabrera along with fellow Filipino Flynn Jackes fi nally ended the half a decade title drought for the Philippines in the Mini-ROK class of the Asian Karting Open Championshipsrsquo opening leg at the Kartodromo de Coloane in Macau The 5-leg international race series is regarded as the most prestigious karting tilt in Asia

Racing abroad for the fi rst time 12 year old Cabrera topped the time trials at 103674 despite the absence of a coach and with only his chief mechanic Joesefi lo Bariquit in tow

The Philippines enjoyed a momentous 1-2-3 moment at the time trials with Cabrera grabbing pole position followed by Xedrei Daquigan in second and Flynn Jackes in third

Enduring an abdomen injury incurred from a crash during the fi nals warm-up Cabrera nevertheless decided to continue to race in the fi nals Surging to 2nd place from 5th in the fi nal grid the excruciating pain however led Cabrera to slip to 4th place by the end of the race

Although bowing to Jackes for the top spot Cabrerarsquos admirable show of resilience and perseverance endeared him to fans and foes alike who knew of his injury In true AKOC camaraderie Cabrera even found an unlikely ally in Taiwanese rival Lin Tsen Han who along with his crew immediately as-

sisted Cabrera as he fi nally collapsed in pain at the weigh-in area

ldquoThere is no such thing as a broken spirit only broken bones But not even that can stop a Filipino karterrsquos will to winrdquo says Cabrera as he was whisked off to the Kiang Wu Hospital to receive emergency medical treatment

He eventually was stable enough to return to the track a few hours later in time to receive his 3rd runner-up trophy at the awarding ceremonies Cabrera is the son of Los Angeles-based business-man Richard Cabrera and is slated to compete in the seriesrsquo second leg later this month in Manila

money changers that were licensed to provide fi nancial services such as remittance transactions and bill pay-ments

The Philippines are fragmented by nature The country has 7000 islands 2000 of which are inhabited Since most banks are in urban areas reaching clients on the smaller remote islands can be extremely diffi cult and costly In a country where the savings rate is abysmal many people depend on credit for everyday expenses Non-bank facilities like pawnshops which are regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (or BSP the Philippines central bank) fi ll this gap

The BSP is currently considering allowing convenience stores or ldquosari-sari shopsrdquo to become banking agents as well They would be allowed to offer a variety of services including handling remittance transactions As nearly one out of 10 Filipinos lives and works abroad remittance transactions represent a huge portion of demand for fi nancial services In fact the Philip-

pines is one of the top fi ve recipients of remittances globally receiving about USD$19 billion annually

While this informal part of the banking sector certainly promotes fi nancial inclusion the BSP has made efforts to formalize the industry In 2010 it passed an amendment to certain banking regulations allowing for banks to establish microbanking offi ces (ldquoMBOsrdquo) MBOs are much smaller and cheaper to set up than bank branches They also offer a wider range of services that are important to Filipinos including microinsurance electronic money transfers social secu-rity payouts and savings products

I remember reading a pamphlet of Opus Dei a religious group about work It advised that whatever your job is no matter how insignifi cant or menial it may be you must value it You must sanctify your work by doing a perfect job then offering it to God For instance if you are a janitor assigned to clean a toilet you must make it spic and span Clean it so well that you would not mind sleeping in it Then offer your perfect job to God For God is perfection He will be pleased and you will get fulfi llment and pride in your work no matter how lowly it may appear

Once you have a job save money to support yourself to college Go to a technical school fi rst During our time we have vocational courses here at Arellano Students learned to repair cars radios and televisions and learn bookkeeping Learn a skill like automotive cooking or computer work This will help you get a better job with better pay until you save enough to go to college at night while working during the day Or you can work and save money so that you can go into business Remember Lydiarsquos Lechon Jonirsquos Bakeshop They started small Just a one-table food stand Now they are big corporations You can do the same There are count-less examples If they can do it you can do it too

Once you have a steady career you can work hard and play hard

Imagine after high school you girls did not go to college What kind of jobs can you get Salesgirls earning

a few pesos I was told salesgirls in department stores are earning only below the minimum wage Kaya marami sila nakatayo lang na parang mga manikin Thatrsquos is why there are a lot of them standing like manne-quins With their very low pay the department store owners can afford to hire all of them Hundreds of them Siguro libre ang make-up Maybe the makeup is free for I notice that all of them are wearing some Without a college diploma you might end up as a domestic help Or worse Do you want your life to be like that

Some girls are determined to get married after high school hoping their husbands would support them They dream of staying home taking care of the house and the kids and living happily ever after Do you think that is possible Look around Almost all the girls who did so are as poor as rats desperate to survive as any uneducated jobless girl can be Why Because it is beyond logic It is not realistically possible It is a dream It is a fantasy To marry early and live happily ever after is a fairy tale Hindi mo makakain ang pag-ibig You cannot eat love our parents use to say Ang pag-aasawa ay hindi parang mainit na kanin na isusubo at iluluwa pag napaso ldquoMarriage is not a hot rice that is put in the mouth only to be spat out if one gets burnedrdquo so said an old Filipino saying Okay there might be one or two lucky enough to marry well and be sup-ported by their husbands But are they happy Being dependent on some-body else Many women who married irresponsible husbands or those with little education end up sacrifi cing for

their children They end up as bread-winners with no time for themselves But why leave your future to chance Why not take control of your life yourself and carve your own bright future Why not Believe you me there is nothing better than support-ing yourself instead of depending on other people

Of course at this period of your puberty you may fall in love Falling in love at a time when you clearly cannot afford to settle down and raise a family can be confl icting This is one trial every young man and woman had to pass through Like a rite of passage One must resist temp-tations curb onersquos passion control onersquos hormones and keep onersquos eyes on the prize - of fi nishing college and launching a career During our time we had classmates who eloped in their teens Some lived poor others got separated Donrsquot miss out on be-ing a bachelor or bachelorette Enjoy the bliss of singlehood You will be shortchanging yourself denying yourself of much greater happiness if you succumb to your feelings prematurely Those feelings will pass will fade away until you realize that being heartbroken at this point in your life is the best thing that could happen to you Better to focus on your career for now

We accompanied our youngest daughter on a campus tour of a uni-versity in Washington DC The tour guide aside from explaining all the advantages of going to that school told the prospective students ldquoIf you have a boyfriend or girlfriend you are leaving behind in high school or in your hometown I am telling you now to forget them No matter how much or how passionately you love them now For after a semester in this school you will not even think that they ever existedrdquo

Crushes come and go You will experience many of them True love will come your way without you even looking for it God will introduce you to the love of your life your lifetime mate the mother or father of our chil-dren without even you looking for him or her Just focus on your studies have fun going out with your friends boys andor girls and enjoy your youth Donrsquot shortchange yourself by

being happy at fi rst by marrying early only to feel sorry the rest of your life

One way of earning a scholarship to college is by joining the school band which I hear we have This is another avenue you should consider explor-ing

Of course there are those among you lucky to have parents to support you through college Value that great opportunity Donrsquot take it for granted Having a parental support however is not a guarantee for success It de-pends on the attitude of an individual

When I was in college a cousin of mine was brought to our house from the province by his mother She requested we let her son stay in our house so that he could go to college They could not afford a dorm for him to stay My mom agreed out of the goodness of heart That cousin of mine Ely stayed with me in my room I would sleep in my bed while he slept on the fl oor Eventually he moved to my fatherrsquos printing busi-ness in Quiapo for it was walking distance to his school He wanted to become an engineer and he had the intellectual IQ to tackle and succeed in the course A year later his younger brother Mario joined him Mario took up commerce at the Polytechnic University in Manila The brothers lived in the mezzanine fl oor of the printing press rent free Later Ely had a girlfriend They went out on dates despite the limited allowance his farmer father was sending him His girlfriend got pregnant and Ely was forced to quit school and go back to their barrio Mario soon graduated and was recommended for a job at the Central Bank of the Philippines by one of his professors During one of our family gatherings in the province Mario came driving his brand new car He made it big and transformed himself from being a naiumlve barrio boy into a successful bank executive His elder brother Ely the would-be engineer was there too No he did not come in a brand new car He came driving a tricycle which he used in plying his trade as a tricycle driver Given an opportunity you must grab it by the horns Donrsquot let it go until you cross the fi nish line

(To be continued)

Followed by another comment ldquoDo we now have in you a Dr Rizal of the 21st century I BELIEVE SOrdquo

I responded with the following ldquoDanny thanks for your comments and great COMPLIMENT I have been compared to some famous men before but Dr Jose Rizal Coming from you I am taking it as a real compliment Though this reminds me of San Beda Prof Regalado (who obtained the high-est grade in Bar exams history) when he told us ldquoA praise undeserved is a slan-der in disguiserdquo Being abroad and still concerned about the Philippines there is really a Rizal in all of us It is not unlike the Propaganda Movement in Madrid Spain crying for reforms during his and Lopez Jaenarsquos time So thank you again for the complimentrdquoDuring the darkest hours of Martial Law when the Philippines was gov-erned by a dictator named Ferdinand Marcos there were also efforts abroad by both Filipino-Americans and exiled Filipinos to expose the atrocities and abuses of the dictatorial regime Like the La Solidaridad during the time of Rizal there were also publications ar-ticles and books written to infl uence and advocate changes in US policies that favored or supported dictatorial regimes The targets for these advocacies and lobbying efforts were the US Congress the White House and the US State Department

One active organization leading the propaganda efforts was the Movement for a Free Philippines (MFP) led by Raul S Manglapus and later joined by Ninoy Aquino who was imprisoned by Marcos for several years We all know what happened to Aquino at the airport in Manila while under the ldquocarerdquo of Marcos soldiers Like Rizal he also died for the Philippine cause

What also impressed me during those years was the involvement of real Filipino doctors like Rizal They cam-paigned funded and led without fear until the US administration reversed its policies and supported the Fili-pino peoplersquos desire to recapture their freedom and dignity through the People Power Revolution

So you wonrsquot go to college because you are poor - Part 2

Follow Asian Journal on Twitter asianjournal

I have traveled to several places in Asia South America Europe and North America as a student business executive and lawyer

For sometime now my wife and I have been receiving invitations to join my sister and her husband on a cruise that is usually coupled with land tours

We never got around to accepting fi rst because the cruises were too long (two weeks or more) and second the cities involved in the land tours were places we had already visited

But last month we accepted the invita-tion because the cruise was only 7 days with an additional 3 nights in Madrid Spain

I have never been to Madrid I have always wanted to see envision and trace the movements of Jose Rizal and the other members of the Propaganda Movement during a very important period in our history

I was always interested in drawing parallelisms between and among the propagandists in the 19th Century led by the likes of Jose Rizal Lopez Jaena del Pilar and other members of the Propa-ganda Movement who operated in Ma-drid those in the 20th Century such as the members of Anti-Marcos groups led by Raul Manglapus and Ninoy Aquino who operated in Washington DC and todayrsquos bloggers columnists Twitters Facebook status updaters commentators and other opinion-makers of both the main media and social networks in this 21st Century

When I wrote an article entitled ldquoOld 4Gs to New 4Gs Gaining Groundrdquo It elicited a reaction from Danny Be-navente a resident of Southern Califor-nia but born and raised in my hometown of Rosales Pangasinan Philippines

He said ldquoBrilliant Just plain bril-liant This one can resonate to as far and to the highest public offi ce in the PIrdquo

Four Keys of Life

Irsquom like most people throughout the world someone whose life has been impacted in one way or another by breast cancer In my case mem-bers of my family have dealt with it plus my sister passed away from it a few years ago There are numerous great organizations helping people and ldquoSusan G Komen for the Cure is the global leader of the breast cancer movement boasting the worldrsquos largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activ-

ists The organization has included ldquoThe Four Keys of Liferdquo to their education literature to encourage and promote breast self-awareness

The four keys1 Talk to your family There is

still hesitancy in many families to talk about personal health issues especially where ldquofemale cancersrdquo such as breast endometrial and ovarian cancer are concerned But studies have connected shared genetic components between breast cancer and other cancers that may be useful in understanding your risk

of contracting the disease Providing your doctor with your family health history may lead to a better under-standing of your personal risk

2 Get screened Your doctor will determine what screening tests are right for you For women of ldquoaverage riskrdquo clinical breast exams should begin at age 20 and be repeated every three years Annual mammograms should begin at age 40 For higher risk women addi-tional screenings such as an MRI may be recommended by your health care provider

3 Know what is normal for you Any visible or palpable changes to your breasts should be reported to your doctor These changes include a lump hard knot or thickening swelling warmth redness or darken-ing a change in the size or shape of the breast dimpling or puckering of the skin itchy scaly sore or rash on the nipple pulling in of the nipple or other part of the breast nipple discharge that starts suddenly new pain in one spot that does not go away How to perform a Breast Self-Examination (BSE) can be found at wwwkomenorgbse

4 Make healthy lifestyle choices Studies and scientifi c literature purport that maintaining a healthy weight adding exercise to your rou-tine and limiting alcohol intake may all reduce the risk of breast cancer

HistorySusan G Komen fought breast

cancer with her heart body and soul Throughout her diagnosis treatments and endless days in the hospital she spent her time thinking of ways to make life better for other women battling breast cancer instead of worrying about her own situation Moved by Susanrsquos compassion for others and commitment to mak-ing a difference Nancy G Brinker promised her sister that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer Though Susan lost her battle with the disease her legacy lives on through the work of Susan G Ko-men for the Curereg the organization Nancy started in her honor Komen for the Cure is the global leader of the breast cancer movement having invested more than $1 billion since its inception in 1982 Komenrsquos promise is to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empower-ing people ensuring quality care for

all and energizing science to fi nd the cures

In San Diego Since 1995 In 1995 a group of passionate

committed health educators and breast cancer survivors did more than just imagine They acted by founding the San Diego Affi liate of Susan G Komen for the Cure Since its inception in 1995 Komen for the Cure San Diego has awarded grants totaling more than $85 million dollars to local organizations that have made valuable contributions to breast cancer diagnostics treatment education screening and patient support Through events and dona-tions Susan G Komen for the Cure is able to bring funding and hope to the fi ght against breast cancer Each year the Komen Race for the Cure and the Breast Cancer 3- Dayreg raise signifi cant funds and awareness for breast cancer celebrating breast cancer survivorship and honoring those who have lost their battle with the disease With pledges from these events and donations throughout the year strides are being made to continue the quest for a cure

Each year 75 percent of proceeds are awarded through a grant process to local organizations Each grantee conducts a program that offers breast cancer education screening or treat-ment to residents in the San Diego area

The remaining 25 percent is directed to the Susan G Komen for the Cure National Grant Program to fund research on a national and in-ternational level Since the Affi liatersquos inception in 1995 nearly $7 million has been given to local organizations that provide breast cancer education screening diagnostics treatment and patient support for the uninsured or underinsured in San Diego County

Change the system Be the solution You can be the difference You can

help end breast cancer forever The Komen Champions for the Curereg advocacy program is focused on educating Congress federal offi cials state legislators and other policy makers about breast cancer through community involvement Komen Champions for the Cure was in-spired by the commitment and force of Komen volunteers who want to join the fi ght

From breast cancer research to early detection and quality care Ko-men Champions for the Cure aims to

infl uence the federal government on crucial breast cancer issues by con-tacting Members of Congress By challenging candidates and those in public offi ce to make breast cancer a priority you can change the system and you can be the solution to breast cancer

Exercise May Reduce Risk of Breast Cancer

Being physically active is one of the best things you can do for your health Exercise may help lower your risk of developing or dying from breast cancer

The Church that Christ built

(Continued from page 4)

dividing and diluting its message These prophecies indeed came to pass False teachers introduced a host of different doctrines and practices in the church The Bible shows that Satan the being ultimately behind this counterfeit Christianity has deceived the whole world and that Satanrsquos ministers usually appear as ministers of righteousness

Satanrsquos inroads into the Church were so rampant at this stage near the end of the First Century that true Chris-

tians were actually excommunicated from some congregations

Although Satan has repeatedly at-tacked and tried to destroy it the Church has not died out Though the details have often been hard to fi nd in history Godrsquos Church created by Jesus Christ has survived the worst persecutions of the Roman Empire and the Dark Ages as well as the attacks of more recent times

Somewhere on earth members of the small fl ock have always continued to serve God to the best of their under-standing and ability Today the Church that Christ built continues as a small but active and faithful body striving to spread Godrsquos good news in a faithless world ndash zenasultanahotmailcom

IMMIGRATION 911 By Atty Susan V Perez

While there is a shortage for nurses in the United States there is still no indication when USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) will resume issuing immigrant visas to fi ll the void There are many skilled and experienced foreign nurses in the United States who are looking for jobs in vari-ous hospitals and healthcare facilities Hospitals and health care facilities want to utilize their skills and services but there arenrsquot immigrant visas available because of the retrogression Irsquove talked to Filipino registered nurses who have been waiting for the immigrant visa for a long time and are willing to take nonimmigrant visas

THE H-1B NONIMMIGRANT VISAThe H-1B program allows employers

to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise in a specialized fi eld and a bachelorrsquos degree or its equivalent Typical H-1B occupations include architects engineers computer programmers accountants doctors and college professors Certain specialty occupations in the nursing industry may qualify for H-1B nonimmigrant status Specifi cally a narrow group of nurses holding a baccalaureate or higher degree (or equivalency) in nursing that includes advanced practice nurses (such as Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS) Nurse Practitioners (NP) Certifi ed Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA) and Certifi ed Nurse-Midwives (CNM)) nurse managers and nursing adminis-trators may qualify for H-1B status According to USCIS data the issuance of H-1B visas for specialty occupation nurses varies greatly from year to year In recent history the greatest number of H-1B nurse visas issued in any given fi scal year was only 136 The H-1B visa for specialty occupation nurses is avail-able to qualifi ed nurses from all foreign countries However the limited scope of eligible specialty occupations greatly narrows the potential use of the H-1B to fi ll US nursing job vacancies For instance many RNs may not qualify for an H-1B because employers and state licensing boards do not usually require a BSN to perform services as a registered nurse On June 11 2012 the H-1B cap has been reached and USCIS stopped accepting applications for H-1B The next H-1B season will be open on April 1 2013

THE H-1C NONIMMIGRANT VISAThe H-1C nonimmigrant classifi ca-

tion enables foreign nurses to perform services as a registered nurse in a US health professional shortage area as determined by the US Department of Labor To qualify for an H-1C visa both the employer and employee must meet certain eligibility criteria The US employer must 1) be a ldquosubsection (d)rdquo hospital under the Social Security Act 2) be located in a ldquoHealth Profes-sional Shortage Areardquo 3) have at least 190 acute care beds 4) have a Medicare population of no less than 35 5) have a Medicaid population of less than 28 and 5) be certifi ed by the Department of Labor

Since the H1-C nonimmigrant visa program sunset on December 20 2009 visas for hundreds of nurses have expired or will expire soon leaving H-1C authorized healthcare employers struggling to provide much-needed pro-fessional nursing care with a dwindling nursing staff HR 1933 is currently pending before the US Senate Judiciary

Committee which would reauthorize the H-1C nonimmigrant visa program Ac-cording to recent information provided by this committee HR 1933 remains on its agenda but is not yet scheduled for a Senate vote As drafted the bill will reauthorize the availability of 300 H-1C visas for an initial validity period of three years with the opportunity to renew H-1C status for an additional three years There is however no guar-antee that HR 1933 will be approved and become a law

THE H-3 TRAINEE VISAThe H-3 visa is a rarely used option

available to temporary workers includ-ing nurses The primary purpose of this visa is to enable the foreign nurse to receive training and not to provide productive employment unless such employment is incidental and necessary to the training It is better than the F-1 or student visa because they get paid during the training

The H-3 trainee has been defi ned by the Code of Federal Regulations as ldquoa nonimmigrant who seeks to enter the United States at the invitation of an individual or organization for the purposes of receiving training in any fi eld of endeavor such as agriculture commerce communications fi nance government transportation as well as training in a purely industrial establish-mentrdquo1 Physicians are not eligible to apply under this category but nurses are For nurses the basic requirements are 1) the proposed training is unavailable in the home country 2) the training is designed to benefi t the applicant in pur-suing her career in the home country 3) the nurse has passed the licensure exam in the country where she obtained her nursing education and 4) a statement from the petitioning employer that the applicant is fully qualifi ed to engage in the training

It is important that the employer dem-onstrate that the trainee will be returning to another country to use the skills he or she gained in the United States At the interview the applicant nurse must show that he or she will not abandon residence in a foreign country and that he or she intends to depart the United States at the end of the training program Therefore the H-3 petition may be denied if the applicant nurse has a certifi ed perma-nent labor certifi cation or has an I-140 Immigrant Petition fi led by the same employer on his or her behalf

The training program should not be longer than two (2) years There will be no extension change of status or re-admission to H or L status granted after two (2) years unless the alien resided and is physically present outside the United States for six (6) months This is not too bad compared to the J-1 trainee

who is required to stay in his or her home country for two years Spouses and children of the H-3 visa holder are eligible for H-4 dependent status

H-3 visa holders are given social security numbers and will be paid while undergoing the training However they should not be receiving as much as the regular employees because this can be perceived as displacing the US citizens

Philippine Star | Manila Philippines 792012 - The province of Bohol is out to reclaim its post as the top tourist destination in the country

This is the newfound vision of the government of Bohol which recently launched its newest tourism campaign mdash dubbed ldquoBohol Heart of the Islands Truly Philippinesrdquo mdash in partnership with Philippine Bohol Arts Foundation Institute (PABFI) and the provincersquos tourism stakeholders

Aimed at immensely boosting local and foreign tourist arrivals and making the province the countryrsquos preferred travel desti-nation the campaign showcases Boholrsquos rich cultural and historical heritage highlighting its rich eco-cultural value beyond the Chocolate Hills and the diminutive tarsiers the worldrsquos smallest primate

ldquoOther than the usual sites that are being promoted here the Loboc River the Chocolate Hills the tarsi-ers and the white sand beaches of Panglao there is more to discover in Bohol that will make a greater tourism impact not only for the province but also in relation to the Philippine context of promoting the countryrdquo said Bohol Governor Edgar Migrintildeo Chatto

The event held at the Centennial Hall in Manila Hotel gathered key public offi cials and tourism leaders

More Fun in the Philippines Bohol rolls out new tourism campaignincluding Manila Hotel president and former senator Joey Lina Philippine Tour Operators As-sociation (PHILTOA) president Cesar Cruz and Tourism Secre-tary Ramon Jimenez Jr

Others who graced the event were prominent travel program personalities Susan Calo Medina and Cory Quirino PBAFI execu-tive director Ria Cauton Tigum Bol-anon Tibuok Kalibutan (TBTK) president Betty Garcia Bohol Provincial Council chair Lucas Nunag board members of the province of Bohol and Amor Maclang director for PR and Communications of GeiserMa-

Bohol Governor Edgar Chatto and De-partment of Tourism Secretary Ramon Jime-nez shake hands during the unveiling of the Bohol campaign Bohol Heart of the Islands Truly Philippines

clang Marketing Communications Inc (GMCI) who later presented the marketing framework of the campaign

Located in Central Visayas Bohol literally sits in the heart of the Philippine archi-pelago Boasting diving sites revered as among the best worldwide the province is home to a number of natural wonders such as mdash aside from the Chocolate Hills mdash the biggest mangrove planta-tion in Asia and the Dajanon Bank the lone double-barrier reef in the region and one of

only six such marine structures in the world

Chocolate Hills do turn green during the rainy season

Apart from its diverse marine and terrestrial life and picturesque land-scapes a unique element that makes Bohol a truly quintessential Filipino destination is the great display of the remarkable and lively dynam-ics between the Filipinosrsquo inherent animistic and Catholic cultures

ldquoBohol and its people have a cer-tain respect and appreciation for her-itage and traditionrdquo Chatto shared ldquoThis is why we have come up with this campaign to highlight the capti-vating charm that Bohol exudes and the heartwarming hospitality offered by Boholanos themselvesrdquo

One of the things that Bohol would like to promote and enrich through its new tourism campaign is the element of nationalistic pride ldquoBy showing everyone how Boholanos have preserved practices and beliefs that other Filipinos have already

seemed to forget we are also able to emphasize the value of cherishing their heritagerdquo PBAFI executive Ria Cauton noted ldquoIn an age when our culture are soaked in various colonial ideas and infl uences thatrsquos really something that has become rarerdquo

Boholrsquos colorful history can be seen all over the prov-ince mdash especially when one looks upon its well-preserved Hispanic structures scattered

all over like the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in

Dauis which attracts thousands of devout Catholics every year and the Church of Our Lady of the Immacu-late Conception in Baclayon which is touted as Asiarsquos best-preserved Jesuit church

In addition other reasons that permit the province to say ldquoYou canrsquot say yoursquove been to the Philip-pines and truly experienced Filipino culture without having gone to Bo-holrdquo are its rich and distinct culinary offerings vibrant nightlife thriving art scene and ancestral craft-making practices All of these underscore the fact that indeed one of Boholrsquos main assets is its hospitable con-stantly jovial and honest people

ldquoYou donrsquot have to be from Bohol to love Boholrdquo revealed Secretary Jimenez ldquoItrsquos simply being part of a rich cultural experience that makes a visit to Bohol unforgettable The Loboc Childrenrsquos Choir for ex-ample has become a symbolic icon of the province precisely because as an American friend who heard them once said lsquoYou cannot sing the way they do if you are not happyrsquordquo

Take a fl oating lunch cruise along the Lob-oc River in Bohol

Corella is another inland town some 10 km north of Tagbilaran Bohol In Corella you can visit the Tarsier Sanctuary where tarsiers are observed protected and are freely living on its natural habitat

Just like in any part of the world a certain place will always have a spe-cifi c food that will be considered as its ldquospecialtyrdquo In Bohol Philippines there are also a lot of foods that tour-ists must try These Bohol foods are highly recommended that one must not leave Bohol without eating such foods otherwise their stay would not be very memorable

The Bohol food that tourists must try if they are by the Alona Beach is seafood The most recommended one is prawns Oftentimes this type of Bohol food is grilled One of the restaurants in Bohol that offer seafood is JASZ Restaurant This is a recommended restaurant because prices are affordable Other Bohol restaurants by the Alona Beach that offer seafood are the Panglao Beach Resort Restaurant Trudi and The Pyramid

Those who are not much into seafood may try dining at another Bohol restaurant called the Loboc River Cruise Lunch Recommended Bohol foods offered here include omelette grilled vegetables pork and chicken barbeque Seafood lov-ers are also suggested to visit this place as it serves superb seafood like lapu-lapu fi sh calamari and tigerprawns Tourists are suggested to have desert such as fresh fruits The prices of the Bohol foods at the Loboc River Cruise Lunch are quite expensive However nothing beats the taste of its foods as everything is just so delicious

If tourists want a Western-themed restaurant they must try out the Gar-den Cafeacute ndash American that is located in Tagbilaran City Placing orders at this restaurant is quite different from the usual restaurants that we go to One has to write down the orders and hand it over to the waitress This

THE METAMORPHOSISby Ernie D Delfi n America just turned 236 years

old In its over two centuries his-tory America has gone through the fi re that made it strong and stable Through countless trials during her lifetime such as the Civil War two World Wars many foreign wars like the Vietnam War and Iraqi War and civil unrests to name a few many American lives have been sacrifi ced to fi ght for what she believes in The last several years economic depressions or recessions that impoverished millions of people have become top issues in the country that have energized Amer-icans to debate intensely what is the right course for their country to pursue to better serve the well-being of her citizens and to bring back the luster and glory of America Due to national concerns on many is-sues like health care housing and global concerns on trade peace and foreign aid against the backdrop of an emerging superpower China Americarsquos national priorities and foreign policies will see a shift that will cause radical changes in this na-tion This election year will be an-other defi ning moment for America to steer Americansrsquo desire for their government to do to preserve its sta-tus as a superpower and envy of the world Despite its socio-economic problems and several foreign policy blunders that caused a signifi cant decline in Americarsquos infl uence in the world the last decade or so Ameri-cans are still a very lucky people as we are still guaranteed justice liberty and the pursuit of our own happiness that more than half of the earthrsquos population can just dream about

With that as a background I am quite grateful and fulfi lled this Independence Day 2012 as I also celebrated another birthday on July 5th (Philippine time) which is July 4th in America As 4th of July is a major holidays in the United States it has always been an opportune time for me to review my life and refl ect upon lifersquos meaning during this holiday amidst the elaborate fi re-works that surround the city where we live Having lived for over six decades now on this planet 60 of which in the American soil I can-not ask for more as I feel that I have had a ldquogood liferdquo on this earth with people I love and who love me too

The last 365 days since my last birthday were replete with surprises

events experiences and personal episodes that made me quite grateful that I am still alive and happy Like America as a person grows older (and wiser) his priorities change but his core values that serve as his compass remains constant That inexplicable feeling of joy and happiness as well as pains and suf-ferings often come to our lives as certain as the sunrise in the morning and sunset in the evening The past year has caused in me a good mix of human emotions happy sad scared regretful (for many things I have done or not done) hopeful and grateful that I am still alive and kicking today Less than a year ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and to the best of my memory I am the fi rst in my family to be stricken with that dreadful ldquoCrdquo ailment Such unexpected diagnosis from my annual medical exams has caused a very high degree of anxiety and ldquopains and sufferingrdquo within me and my family However I discovered solace and strength in my new found spiritual journey accepting that our Lord not us is in control of our lives and has admonished His people to ldquoBe not afraidrdquo Surprisingly I learned that His ldquoBe-not-afraid- advicerdquo appeared in the Bible 365 times

Thanks to my God the greatest Healer months after my surgery early this year my doctor told me that I am now a cancer survivor as my PSA level is now at negligible level He told me that he doesnrsquot want to see me more than twice a year now

Amidst that scary episode how-ever I also enjoyed many things during the past year like our month long adventure to Vienna Rome London and Paris with my one and only wife of over 30 years as our second honeymoon (many will be smiling or LOL with that bold disclosure) Another inventory of joyful accomplishments included the successful chartering of the Global Kalinga e-Rotary Club fi rst e- Club in Rotary District 3780 (and the second one in the entire Philip-pines) that I initiated and founded last year with 40 charter members who live in 6 countries that is expected to double by our fi rst An-niversary date in Oct 2012

This e-Rotary Club is like an infant that remains so tender and fragile that it needed a lot of patience and nourishment to grow But like lov-ing parents many of our committed

Independence Day 2012 and Birthday Refl ections

members are matured and patient enough to nurture this e-Rotary baby to develop it to become an Olym-pian athlete to compete in the near future Our GKeRotary Club has now members from many nationalities like Caucasians Hispanics Blacks Canadians Nigerians and Filipinos (from Luzon to Mindanao) who reside in as many 6 countries today As we grow in number with closer camaraderie among us doing many meaningful ldquoService Above Selfrdquo humanitarian proj-ects in the Philippines as well as in the city where we live we will have more FUN in this borderless e-Rotary Club than the traditional Rotary Club that meets weekly

Adhering to the ldquoSecretsrdquo in achieving a fulfi lled life by con-scious efforts (until they become unconscious efforts) to ldquobalanc-ing your Liferdquo into its essential quadrants PHYSICAL (to live) MENTAL (to learn) SOCIAL (to love) and SPIRITUAL (to leave a legacy) I have consciously put more time in one area that matters most (once you are over 60 like me) the ldquoleaving a legacyrdquo quadrant Itrsquos a fact of life that when you become a senior citizen you can no longer do many things nor eat many foods that you enjoyed when you were one and twenty when you were in high school or college so you simply adjust to your new reality Each morning that you wake up and able to walk and see the sunrise hear the chirping of birds smell the aroma of freshly brewed Healthy Coffee itrsquos always a small miracle and you thank the One Who gave you life Having accepted my own mortality that one day I will also meet my Maker I have replaced a good por-tion of ldquobusinessrdquo hours into vol-unteerism or ldquoService Above Selfrdquo hours in my church and several NGOs like the Rotary Interna-tional that truly render humanitarian works to others

Also for about fi ve years now I have been attending a weekly morn-ing Bible Study that has contributed greatly in the balancing of my life that is very hard to do in a materi-alistic society like the USA The word BIBLE has been creatively defi ned to mean ldquoB asic L essons B efore L eaving E arthrdquo and in so many ways it lsquos true All of us homo sapiens undergo that human journey like the biblical ldquoprodigal sonrdquo who must leave the family home goes away (to experience new things both good and bad) and hopefully comes back home (to his Father) as he must undergo some profound changes (for his own salvation) Life without any kind of metamorphosis the caterpillar would never become a beautiful and colorful butterfl y So does a person must undergo many phases of his transformation to enjoy his journey on this earth before he goes into that blissful state that many call Heaven or Paradise

Additionally last year I also fi nished by certifi cation classes and has been ldquocertifi edrdquo by the Diocese of Orange and the Orange County Sheriff to wear a white badge as a ldquoRestorative Justice Ministerrdquo aka ldquoPrison Detention Ministerrdquo where we visit and minister to the inmates in the Orange County Jails every week for Bible Study andor Catholic Com-munion Services every week

Meeting these ldquoinmatesrdquo (thatrsquos what they are called in County Jails in state or federal prison the incarcerated are called ldquoprisonersrdquo) and listening to them and ministering to their ldquospiritualrdquo needs on a weekly basis have an-nihilated many myths and miscon-ceptions that I used to hold ldquoagainstrdquo them Due to some educational and cultural biases I used to believe that all those in prison deserved to be there as they are ldquobadrdquo criminals but slowly I have softened that stand I now believe that although these in-mates are incarcerated they are still human beings also who still possess their human dignity as children of the same God Many martyrs and saints of the church like St John the Baptist and St Paul were also in prison The prison system is a part of the human society since biblical times and its worsening conditions in many areas are a sad refl ection of all of us en of the same God Many martyrs and our lives and He has admonished His people to ldquo

Punishments and Restorative

Justice are two schools of thoughts that are being administered in many prisons today The Catholic and many Christian churches advo-

cate that more must be done in the rehabilitation or in the Restorative Justice of inmates or prisoners in the Justice System to give back their human dignity even when they are incarcerated

Being a Prison Detention Minister and just listening and observing these inmates during our Catholic Communion Services that we do for them is another human experience

that can potentially convert a sinner like me into a better human being For instance I got an unexpected education from one woman inmate

when she declared ldquoI am now very happy that I was arrested for what I did I consider my arrest as my own rescue from a certain deathrdquo What a paradigm shift Now I can understand why there are many spiritual conversions that occur in prison because God does not leave a person wherever he is because He is everywhere

To any practicing Catholic (or any religion for that matter)

out there I highly recommend that he or she tries to see if becoming a Prison Detention or Restorative Jus-tice Minister is right for him or her It is a wonderful experience There is a great need for more dedicated and willing volunteers to minister to the spiritual needs of this growing prison population in America today

The foregoing column is a very sobering personal refl ection on

this 4th of July weekend that I am boldly sharing to all readers and my friends with a ray of hope that some may also be inspired to be an-other ldquoLamp in the City on the Hillrdquo for others to see the inexplicable wonders of God as He has mysteri-ously converted Saul the Christian persecutor into St Paul to become a great and fearless evangelist of our Christian faith

the maintenance of peace and stability respect for interna-tional law and unimpeded lawful commerce in the South China Seardquo

Clinton welcomed the meeting saying a slew of joint initiatives including disaster relief forestry policy and disease control were ldquoan important signal that the US and China not only can but will work together in Asiardquo

No threats and intimidationClinton also urged claimant

countries not to resort to threats and intimidation an indirect reference to China

ldquoWe believe the nations of the region should work collabora-tively and diplomatically to resolve disputes without coercion without intimidation without threats and without use of forcerdquo Clinton said

ldquoIssues such as freedom of navi-gation and lawful exploitation of maritime resources often involve a wide region and approaching them strictly bilaterally could be a recipe for confusion and even confronta-tionrdquo Clinton added

The US said stability is its concern in the waterway which carries $5 trillion in ship-borne trade account-ing for half the worldrsquos shipping tonnage

ldquoThe United States is going to be very clear in our determination to see progress on the code of conduct between those negotiations that are taking place between China and ASEANrdquo a senior US State Depart-ment offi cial told reporters earlier this week

Clearly outline positionClinton likewise urged ASEAN na-

tions ldquoto clearly outline its position on the Scarborough Shoalrdquo and ldquoto complete a regional code of conduct in a timely fashionrdquo

She warned about serious prob-lems to the regional bloc if ASEAN fails to address the challenge

ldquoWhat might be a challenge today for some of ASEANrsquos members if left unaddressed by all of ASEAN could lead tomorrow to issues that may become problems for other ASEAN membersrdquo she said

Clinton said the US ldquolooks to ASEAN and claimant states to provide leadership in this issue and recognizes the important role of the ASEAN chairman to fi nd consensus and advance a common ASEAN positionrdquo

ldquoASEAN needs to meet its own goals and standards and be able to speak with one voice on issues fac-ing the regionrdquo Clinton said

ASEANrsquos 10 members announced earlier this week that they have drafted a set of rules governing maritime rights and navigation and procedures for when governments disagree But China is not a member of the group and hasnrsquot agreed to anything

The ASEAN countries are present-

ing their proposal to China at this weekrsquos conference in Cambodiarsquos capital though Beijing will probably want to water down any language that ties its hands

For the US the diffi cult diplomacy ahead could be a major test of the Obama administrationrsquos efforts to ldquopivotrdquo American power toward the worldrsquos most populous continent Just speaking out on the subject already has helped the US deepen ties with Vietnam and relations are warming with other governments in the region

But countless meetings between American and Chinese offi cials have not led to progress on a lasting solution

Various longstanding disputes among China the Philippines Viet-nam Taiwan Malaysia and Brunei involve the arearsquos busy sea-lanes and many observers fear the compli-cated web of disputes could spark a violent confl ict

The standoff between China and the Philippines in Panatag (Scarbor-ough) Shoal began in April when the Philippines accused Chinese fi sher-men of poaching in its exclusive economic zone including the shoal During the tensions both sides sent government ships to the area though both have since withdrawn vessels

Vietnam has protested a recent an-nouncement by the China National Offshore Oil Corp opening nine oil and gas lots for international bidders in areas overlapping with existing Vietnamese exploration blocks Viet-nam says the lots lie entirely within its 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone and continental shelf

When conditions are ripeWith the ASEAN set to start

negotiations with China on a code of conduct Beijing said it is willing to work with member countries ldquowhen the conditions are riperdquo

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokes-person Liu Weimin said in a press conference in Beijing Monday that the code of conduct is not for the resolution of disputes in the West Philippine Sea

ldquoI would like to emphasize that the code of conduct aims not at resolv-ing the South China Sea disputes but boosting mutual trust and coopera-tion between the parties concerned in a joint bid to maintain peace and stability in the South China Seardquo Liu said

Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario for his part told the ASEAN meeting that ldquothe adher-ence of all countries in the region to a set of fair and transparent rules as embodied in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea will generate greater mutual trust and respect in the regionrdquo ndash AP Pia Lee-Brago

survive one must have a job but for one to prosper one must engage in business

For this I am not worried about my daughter She will never be unemployed a victim of closing or streamlining companies She has her own business with no overheads and she is in a higher notch than when she started and contin-ues to spiral up in her virtual store

Of course this is not for everyone This is not for the comfortable not for those who do not blaze trails not for the non-dreamers defi nitely not for those who choose to be with the ninety-fi ve percent of society who choose to be ordinary

Only fi ve percent of society dares to swim against the tides These are the likes of Steve Jobs Donald Trump Bill Gates and others like those who became millionaires in Amway

Knowing my daughter and if I am not mistaken I predict that she will persevere and succeed She is guided by the Scriptures and books written by those who have made it She is so disci-plined that she does not even watch TV She says Jessica Sanchez and Manny Pacquaio will not help her become fi -nancially free They could entertain you but when you go back to reality you are still in whatever state you are

AS THE BAMBOOS SWAY By Rudy D Liporada

A couple from church introduced Am-way to me in 1987 They showed a plan telling me that I could be a millionaire in two to fi ve years if I buy from my own store ndash soaps (both laundry and body) beauty products vitamins and many more ndash and share the dream with others

I did not care I just landed in America just two weeks before I came to Amer-ica to work in pursuit of my own kind of dream Besides even if I wanted to I did not have $8000 then to register plus I did not have lsquoothersrsquo to share dreams with

Fast forward to late 2010 My only daughter and youngest of my children then 18 gets wind of Amway She asks for $16700 so she could register to be-come what Amway calls an Independent Business Owner Although reluctant I shelled out the money After all it was not for drugs or something like that Then she tells us among others to buy from her store what we would be buying from other stores anyway Why make the other stores profi t when we should be patronizing her store The prices were competitive She changed our soaps toothpastes her momrsquos make-up kit drinks vitamins etc I did not really care To me shaving cream is shaving

cream laundry soap is laundry soap My daughter is happy I am happy

What I did not really know was she was growing her market She had others join her in her dream

In late 2010 she had to attend an Amway convention in Portland Oregon with her dozen team members ndash no one was over 21 years old They were going on a long drive for eighteen hours They needed two vans but no rent-a-car would allow them to rent the vehicles Grudg-ingly I acceded to her request that I and her mom rent one each of those vans and might as well join them ndash might as well be in the convention

And so we were there In front of ten thousand participants

couple after couple testifi ed how they realized their dream sharing Amway products They were former waitresses accountants doctors construction workers Navy Seals etc On gargantuan screens they fl aunted their villas jets yachts high end cars and their pleasure trips around the world They said that through patience and hard work for two to fi ve years they sailed to becoming millionaires ndash now waking up whenever they want and being full time moms and dads

I believed them If only one of them would be lying in front of ten thousand people the institution Amway would crumble down

Then I was angry There was this guy same as my age was a teacher like me He was on the stage as a millionaire and I was down there listening to him and I have nothing to show He got into Amway in the middle 90rsquos Deng It was introduced to me in 1987

I started reading their brochures and catalogs I came to the conclusion that mathematically you could really get rich doing this thing All you needed is the belief the emotional quotient strive patience and most of all your dreams

Nonetheless beyond the business be-yond the products beyond the dreams I treasure most what Amway has done to my daughter Instead of continuing to party like most of her peers she is reading the Bible upon waking up and follows this up with management and business related books She is in power business cloths instead of showing her belly buttons Most important before Amway she fi ghts with her mom Now they are the best of friends

So I tell my friends and acquaintances about Amway and its products Most of them because the company has been there for over 50 years have heard of it have been into it and have notions about it This is because Amway is the mother of networking and Amway stands for the American Way

Most of them too after I show or reshow them the product benefi ts and the principle of buying from your own store go back to Amway if they have been there before The main thing is all of them agree to the greatness of the products and appreciate the evolved and developed marketing system of the com-pany ndash for those in the know one does not have to horde products anymore to sell everything now is done on-line And if you are not computer suave one in the organization will do it for you because you at least know how to use your cell phone or you can directly call in the orders

Robert T Kiyosaki in his book Rich Dad Poor Dad says that in order for one to be fi nancially free one must have a business He means for one to only

Joke of the Week Bill had a good friend who was a minister of long years standing They used to josh one another occasionally ldquoYou reverend think yoursquore so hotrdquo said Bill one day ldquoAfter all yoursquore only about 50 percent effective About half of the babies you baptize donrsquot stay Christians about half of the adults you convert donrsquot stay con-verted and about half the people you marry donrsquot stay marriedrdquo ldquoWersquore 100 percent on one pointrdquo answered his minister friend ldquoIf I were a bet-ting man Irsquod give you 1000 to1odds that all the people we bury stay buriedrdquo

Scriptures First Reading Jer-emiah 23 1-6 In Jeremiahrsquos time the people of the northern kingdom of Israel had been exiled to Assyria and the Israelites in the southern kingdom of Judah had been deported to Babylon There were lots of dev-astated lives and broken hearts The kings and leaders did not live up as true shepherds The prophet speaks of hope out of this dismal condi-tion God will raise a new shepherd who will rule with righteousness and unite Israel and Judah Sec-ond Reading Ephesians 2 13-18 Through Christ all religious barriers between Hebrews and non-Hebrews or Gentiles are now demolished Through Christrsquos redemptive work of salvation and reconciliation those who are ldquofar offrdquo and ldquonearrdquo are now brought together All have access to the Father with the Spirit

Gospel Mark 6 30-34 In the fi rst reading God renews the promise he made to his people 1) to bless hu-manity by bringing it back to a land where it can bear fruit abundantly

(an allusion to Genesis) 2) to raise a new king who shall rule his people justly and rightly (a promise made to Abraham and David) Christian view the blessing at creation story of Gen-esis and the promise of a new leader are both fulfi lled in Jesus Christ

Refl ections The Hebrew word for shepherd does not only mean a king and ruler it also connotes the notion of feeding defending caring

and providing Jeremiah denounced the shepherds of his time who cared for themselves alone and not for the fl ock that were entrusted to them From the Christian point of view Jesus Christ is the shepherd who restores hope to new Israel In turn Jesus wants his apostles to continue his shepherding mission

Reginald Fuller commented that in this Marcan passage the term ldquoapostlesrdquo was not originally a title but a function Jeremiah condemned Zedekiah and the last kings of Judah as shepherds who have misled the people These corrupt shepherds paid more attention to their own selfi sh vested interests than those of the fl ock The Marcan passage is implying that the apostles should

avoid committing the same serious mistake In Matthew 23 6-7 Jesus told his disciples ldquoThey (Scribes and Pharisees) love places of honor at banquets seats of honor in syna-gogues greetings in marketplaces and the salutation lsquoRabbirsquordquo The apostles are told not to put more emphasis on title such as ldquoapostlerdquo and less on responsibilities that come with it Instead they should put more weight on their duties and responsibilities Titles such as ldquodoctor teachers bishop reverend engineer lawyerrdquo denote functions and responsibilities But when a title gains more prominence than the re-sponsibilities that come with it title divides rather than unites people

PSYCHOLOGISTS HAVE PROPOSED THE FASCINATING CONCEPT OF THE DYAD (Greek dyacuteo ldquotwordquo) or bi-polar archetype Common functionaries such as doc-torpatient lawyerclient ministerparishioner and parents children are some archetypal roles Many of these roles are essentially linked to a partnering archetype hence the term dyad archetype To stress the supe-rior pole of the archetype doctor lawyer minister and parents over the other pole patient client parish-ioner and children breaks the dyad and negatively impacts both poles For instance a doctor who fails to recognize that there is a ldquophysi-cianrdquo in his patient breaks down the therapeutic relationship between him and his patient The same is true with a teacher who fails to see that he too is a ldquostudentrdquo who can learn from his students Ministers who forget that they too are in need of salvation treat their parishioners as inferiors Parents become domineer-ing and overbearing when they fail to learn from their children On the other hand the dyad is also broken when the inferior pole is emphasized over the superior pole When both poles recognize each otherrsquos strength and draw energies to enhance each otherrsquos well being there is true heal-ing learning ministering parenting and spirituality

We read in todayrsquos Gospel that Jesus invited his apostles to take a break from their tiresome activities Likewise we seek scenic vistas sun-ny beaches quiet and private places

to relax and unwind Leonardo da Vinci wrote ldquoEvery now and then go away have a little relaxation for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose power of judgment hellip Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be take in at a glance and lack of harmony or proportion is more readily seenrdquo Jesus mindful of his apostlesrsquo need for a breather after a hectic mission asked them to rest a while It was a rest aimed at energizing the apostles with the divine presence that would enable them to be more effective in their mission Onersquos summer vacation can also be an occasion to recharge our spiritual battery

ldquoNot without design does God write the music of our lives Be it ours to learn the time and not be discouraged at the rests If we say sadly to ourselves lsquoThere is no music in a restrsquo let us not forget there is the making of music in it The making of music is often a slow and painful process in this life How patiently God works to teach us How long He waits for us to learn the lessonrdquo (John Ruskin)

Quotation of the Week ldquoIf you keep a bow always bent it will break eventually but if you let it go slack it will be fi t for use when you want itrdquo Aesop

Spirituality in Dyadic Relationship

Spiritual Courage

Courage is connected with taking

risks Jumping the Grand Can-yon on a motorbike coming over Niagara Falls in a barrel or crossing the ocean in a rowboat are called courageous acts because people risk their lives by doing these things But none of these daredevil acts comes from the centre of our being They all come from the desire to test our physical limits and to become famous and popular

Spiritual courage is something completely different It is following the deepest desires of our hearts at the risk of losing fame and popular-ity It asks of us the willingness to lose our temporal lives in order to gain eternal life

Cayabyab lauds ABS-CBN Philharmonic

OrchestraABS CBN News | MANILA Phil-

ippines -- Acclaimed composer Ryan Cayabyab lauded the newly formed ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra which will make its fi rst major public debut at the ldquoIcons at the Arenardquo con-cert at the SM Mall of Asia Arena

Rehearsing this afternoon was a breeze The rare event on Saturday combines only the best Filipino art-ists together in the concert with the best musicians of the ABS-CBN Phil-harmonic What more can I ask for as musical director Ang ganda at ang sarap ng tugtuganrdquo said Cayabyab who is the musical director of

the all-star OPM concertCayabyab who composed OPM

classics such as Kay Ganda ng Ating Musika called the orchestra the newest most exciting addition to the top artists of the Kapamilya Network

He praised the orchestra members as arguably the best crossover musi-cians of the country who can perform all types and genres of music led by

a formidable music director Gerard Salonga

Early this year ABS-CBN and First Philippine Holdings Inc joined hands to promote an advocacy for Filipinos to connect and experience ldquorealrdquo and ldquogoodrdquo music Thus the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra was created to defy the notion that a full orches-tra is only limited to classical music

The 40-piece musical ensemble is also a fi rst in the history of ABS-CBN

ABS-CBN chairman Eugenio ldquoGabbyrdquo Lopez III stressed that the orchestra aims to provide music of the highest caliber to the general audience

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada

(In the last chapter PMA cadet Julius Madrigal buys a bible as New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Carlo entered his room from his bath He donned on a t-shirt from his strewn clothes which he would have to pack the following day Over the shirt he pulled over a lengthwise striped sweater which made him appear taller than his five foot and a half frame He then went to the mirror and combed his still damp straight hair parting it on its left side He smiled checking his well set teeth He felt clean

Cleanliness is next to Godliness Monday after the New

Year he would be back to nearer Godliness His two weeks vacation would be over He would be back to where he would like to dedicate himself to be really next to Godli-ness

Again he would be back where everyday the brrriinnnggg brrr-riiiinnggg brrriinnnnggg wake up bell that permeates throughout the seminary walls would swirl into his eardrums and into his innermost soul jolting him to slide off the bed and be on his knees when sunrays slice through the windows of where he had confined himself to be nearer to Godliness Still in the throes of being awake his right hand flies to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Hail Mary full of gracehelliphe falls back into the abyss of nothingness but a second alarm ndash briiinnggg briiinggg brii-ingggg would bring back the swirl into his eardrums permeating into

his soul jolting him back to the re-ality that he is already on his knees Hail Mary full of gracehelliphas he said three already He would goad himself and fight against falling back into the abyss of nothingness for the umpteenth time Has he said three Hail Maries already He decides that since he had lost count he would complete three Hail Maries even if he already went over the count He would add an Our Father and a Glory Be

He gets up and staggers himself towards the exit of the dormitory towards the wash basins He passes other seminarians still in various pose of waking up on their knees or staggering out like himself The silkiness or fadedness of their paja-mas distinguishes who among them come from richer or poorer families

After freshening up he dons his white shirt and pants and black neck-tie He then marches out to join the other seminarians lining up in front of the chapel They appear like equal angels without wings Only tie clips shoes belts or brands of watches distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families

Equally mandated each one clasps his hands palms together on his chest They proceed to their assigned pews while cherubim like hymns fill the air

And the rite beginsDominus VobiscumhellipEt cum

spiritu tuohellipOra pro nobis kneelhellipsithellipstandhellipsit againhellipmostly kneel - all in sanctity to commune with the Spirit and the saints

By the offertory sanctity could be broken as Carlorsquos stomach as well as othersrsquo would growl pleading that the fangs of hunger be quelled But they have to wait though now find it hard to be in communion with the Spirit and the saints

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Finally it would be lsquoGo in peace the mass is endedrsquo

In seeking peace for their hunger they still have to be saintly tip-toe out of the chapel Their shoes then would scrape on the hallways in they dash to the dormitories in the rush to change into their school clothes

Now their over-all clothing demeanors ndash shirts pants sweaters socks shoes ndash starkly distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families Nonetheless richer or poorer they remained equal in the need to quell the fangs of hun-ger as they rush to the rectory hall

A sunny side two sausages fried rice from leftovers the night before crowd on each of the eight plates on each of the ten tables at the rec-tory The coffee would be soggy but would still be a welcome brew to enliven our breakfast which is equal for all The food they are about to receive from His bounty made them all equal except that there are also apples and juice and non soggy cof-fee at the head table where the Flem-ish rector Flemish assistant rector and Flemish principal are

Their stomachs would now really be howling gurgling clamoring for whatever they have to partake on but they all had to equally wait for the last seminarian to enter the dining hall half embarrassed half rever-ent The rector frowning for the delay would glare at the late comer before his right hand would fly to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Bless us Oh Lord in these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord Amen

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Amen

The last vestiges of reverence would now be broken as the ter-restrial need to fortify onersquos body takes precedence over the needs of the soul Chairs screech as the seminarians slide unto them Spoons and forks bang to scrape on eggs sausages and rice as they slide from the plates into munching mouths to mediate the growling gurgling stomachs

After a while Carlo would be satisfied with the egg two sausages fried rice and soggy coffee He would then have more time to often wonder why those Flemish priests also have apples juice and non soggy coffee while the seminar-ians do not Often he dismisses

the thought to just because they are already priests priests who are white because they have a different culture Nonetheless he often asks himself didnrsquot Jesus Christ share the same enliven bread and fish with his apostles

Often he would also feel guilty that having such kind of thoughts about inequality with the priests could be sacrilegious and wonders if he had to go to the con-fessional for that

Such thoughts however would vanish as he immerses himself with the day of classes ndash geometry Latin physics basketball volleyball lunch more studies ping-pong ro-sary and the long litanies and night prayers

The thoughts of inequality how-ever would invade his mind again the following day right after the br-riinnggg brrriinggg brriingggg and the regimen begins

And the regimen he would be go-ing back to made the short Christ-mas holiday break really shorter Nonetheless he had dedicated himself to the vocation and glad that no one or nothing during the vaca-tion made him feel that it was really short He had again passed the test of being out of the seminary walls with still the resolve that he would be going back for Godlinessrsquos sake

Vacations are not only respites from the sanctified isolationrsquos regimen They are tests to how one would not succumb to the calls of the human flesh in the outside world Should one not be able to resist temptations it would be better for one to fall away from the calling earlier than later after one is fully vested when the faithful would be subject to disillusionment

Nonetheless tonight Carlo would indulge in a simple call of the flesh He was ready for the dinner prepared by his mother one much better than the feasts of the priests

httpwwwmoringa4healingcom

The MoringaMalunggay Tree with its edible leaves flowers and pods is one of most power packed nutritious trees in the world It goes by many different names drumkstick tree the Miracle tree the Never Die Tree the Miracle tree

I wrote an article on that subject here but it is also one of the most healing trees in the world All of the tree is ei-ther used for food medicine or cooking It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for hundreds of years to both prevent and treat almost 300 diseasesThe in-formation in this article is not based on double blind research but on the histori-cal and current usage of Moringa leaves flowers and pods in India and many other countries This is how the people have used it in the past and how they use it now Much of this information was observed and documented in the different health projects by physicians in their treatment of AIDS malnutrition and disease In India Ayurvedic physi-cians use it in their standard treatment protocols

How can Moringa leaves have an im-pact on so many problems Many health problems are due to poor nutrition malnutrition and imbalanced disease states which result in immune system breakdown and disease When you correct those imbalances and nutritional deficiencies with super packed nutritious food it is bound to improve health and disease states The ability for Moringa leaves flowers bark and pods to have such diverse healing effects is due to the vitamins minerals antioxidants and healing elements the tree contains

A review of Moringas power packed nutrition

Here is a nutritional breakdown of Fresh Moringa Leaves 7 times the Vitamin C of Oranges 4 times the Cal-cium of Milk 3 times the Potassium of Bananas 2 times the Protein of Yogurt 4 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and frac34 the iron of Spinach

Moringa leaves when dried become a even greater powerhouse of nutri-tion containing frac12 the Vitamin C of Oranges 17 times the Calcium of Milk 15 times the Potassium of Bananas 9 times the Protein of Yogurt 25 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and 20 times the Iron in Spinach All elements except the Vitamin C is increased when you dry the leaves under low temperatures Drying the leaves in direct sunlight decreases its nutritional values

How Moringa and Artemisia Annua Leaves benefit AIDS Patients

There are health projects going on

in Tanzania Musoma and other areas There is a real AIDS crisis in these areas In these AIDS cases the doctors have found that the combination of two herbs Moringa and Artemisia Annua improved the energy stamina and CD4 counts of the AIDS patients Some of their patients came in so weak they were not able to walk or care for them-selves They improved so dramatically that many were able to go back to work and many stayed to help the incoming patients These dramatic improvements were documented over and over again by the doctors in these health projects

How the herbs were used in the treat-ment protocols

The physicians combined dried Mor-inga Leaves with Artemisia Annua and then added one heaping teaspoonful of the powder to make a tea A liter of tea using 5 grams of the powder was given 3 times a day to the patient while the symptoms were acute Later when the patients improved it was reduced to a cup a day When you consider the super nutrition in Moringa leaves it is easy to understand how the Aids patients would improve The power packed nutrition would bolster their immune function strength stamina and ability to live a more normal active life

Moringa does NOT cure AIDS but helps the AIDS patient live longer and improves their quality of life and health Often the AIDS patient does not die from AIDS but from one of the opportunistinfections that prey on their compromised immune system

Moringa Leaves effects on blood pres-sure blood sugar breast milk produc-tion and anemia

In India the leaves are used to normalize blood pressure and to treat anxiety In 1994 a team of researchers identified a new nitride and mustard oil glycoside that demonstrated its ability to lower blood pressure

An infusion of the leaf is used to reduce sugar levels though not as ef-fectively as the standard hypoglycemia medicine

Moringa leaves mixed with honey then followed with coconut milk drunk 2 to 3 times a day is used for diarrhea dysentery and colitis

Moringa leaves have been observed and documented by doctors in the health projects to increase breast milk produc-tion and the health of nursing mothers This is due to the nutrition in the leaves especially the protein calcium and iron

Refreshing News | 7122012 -- Top experts separate the fact from myth once and for all--and reveal some surprises in the process Myth 1 Eating at Night Makes You Fat FACT If your overall calorie intake is appropriate for weight loss or maintenance it may benefit you to eat something after dinner says Joni Rampolla RD Director of Nu-trition and Wellness for Medifast

Late-night calories will ultimately get used the next day (and even while you sleep) To keep your en-ergy levels up it is better to spread your calories out during the day when your body needs fuel Aim to eat something every two or three hours This will stabilize blood sugar levels and help you feel full and energized all day

If you do need a late-night snack consider keeping it to 200 calories or less

Myth 2 Hunger is a sign you need food FACT The body commonly sends cues of hunger when it is dehydrated sleep deprived or sensing psycho-logical hunger If yoursquore not drinking enough water or getting enough sleep this alone can cause you to sense hunger even though yoursquore full Rampolla says

Myth 3 Losing weight is harder than keeping it off FACT More than 90 percent of dieters regain the weight they lost (or more) once they ldquofinishrdquo their plan Rampolla says If you resume eating the foods you ate before los-ing weight you will gain the weight back-and maybe a few extra pounds Herersquos why After weight loss your slimmer body requires fewer calo-ries to function Plus if your weight-loss plan does not include enough protein you might lose muscle mass in addition to excess fat Why thatrsquos bad Muscle burns more calories than fat does so losing muscle will lower your metabolism

Every day make a positive decision to stay on track with your new healthy lifestyle Maintaining healthy eating habits is a lifelong commitment and takes persistence Rampolla says

Myth 4 Exercise makes you tired FACT As the body gets in better shape most people feel exercising gives them more energy than before Regular exercise can also help fight fatigue improve your sleep and manage your stress says Gina Crome MS MPH RD and Top 10 FitOrbitcom trainer

Myth 5 Working out is a big time commitment FACT To main-tain a healthy weight you can work out as little as 20 to 40 minutes most days of the week If your goal is to lose weight itrsquos advised that you aim for about 45 to 60 minutes each day Crome says

The best part You donrsquot need to fit it all into one session Most of us can find five to 10 minutes to spare

at different points in the day Using these spare minutes throughout the day to be active adds up quickly and eventually becomes a regular part of your healthy lifestyle

Myth 6 Lower-body workouts will give you lean legs faster FACT The type of exercise you do does not affect the number of fat cells in a specific area Crome says Even if you do 100 abs exer- cises every day without proper nutri-tion quality sleep and a well-round- ed fitness routine you might never achieve the toned flat stomach you want You will help develop the muscles in that area but that doesnrsquot equate to fat loss

When the body loses

fat it does so

in a

sys-

temic fashion-all over the body at the same time Aside from surgical procedures such as liposuction there is no way to direct or influence the elimi-nation of fat from

specific areas Crome says Myth 7 You should

only eat carbs when yoursquore ac-tive FACT This myth is based on the belief that since carbs are the bodyrsquos preferred energy source you shouldnrsquot eat them when yoursquore inactive-like most people are in the evening However many individuals have atypical schedules or regularly exercise after work These people benefit from consuming appropri-ate amounts of carbohydrates in the evening to fuel their lifestyle says John Bosse RD and Member of the Research amp Development team for USANA Health Sciences

For someone who is sedentary in the evening a small high-protein snack such as 23 cup of full-fat cottage cheese or a protein shake can actually help you stay slim Research shows that eating high-quality protein at regular intervals promotes better body composition and since a lot of time passes between dinner

and breakfast this small snack is a smart strategic move

Myth 8 Heavy weights will make you bulky FACT Unless yoursquore taking in substances that alter your hormone profile (anabolic ste-roids) it is highly unlikely that you will gain large amounts of muscle Bosse says Doing a high number of reps (20+) using light weights and stopping each set well before the point of muscular failure certainly helps improve fitness and burn calo-ries but itrsquos not the best way to get a lean toned body What is Integrate periods of heavier training (six to 10 reps) with some sets taken to muscular failure The ability to build muscle is very different for men and women and should not be confused Bosse says

Myth 9 You should do a juice cleanse to detox FACT Our bod-ies are extremely smart and have built-in processes for detoxing every day says Kristen Carlucci RD reg-istered dietitian and nutrition expert for Pitney Bowes Inc

Yes people lose weight on juice cleanses but not because of any mir-acle ingredient or because your body is cleared of toxins that are slowing

down your metabolism Weight lost during a cleanse is most likely

a result of taking in far fewer calories than

usual While fill-ing up on fruits

and vegetables is a positive thing the problem with juice cleanses is that they are a tem-porary fix They donrsquot teach you the balanced nutrition habits you should be forming in order to lose weight and keep it off for good Carlucci says

Myth 10 Carbs are the en-emy FACT With the onset of the low-carb diet craze many people deny themselves this major food group This concept is misunder-stood because itrsquos not the carbohy-drates themselves that cause weight gain itrsquos the fact that for many of us itrsquos difficult to control the portion sizes Carlucci says

Instead of cutting out carbs alto-gether (which does not sound fun at all) focus on choosing the right carbs in the proper portions Stick with whole-grain pastas and breads (each slice should have 100 calories or less and should contain at least 3 grams of fiber) and try to fill no more than 14 of your plate with starch Limit pasta to 1 cup cooked and choose potatoes that are about the size of a computer mouse

The 10 Most Misunderstood Diet and Fitness Strategies Fatty Acid Found in Fish Prevents Age-

Related Vision Loss Study Suggests

ScienceDaily (May 30 2012) mdash An omega-3 fatty acid found in fish known as DHA prevented age-relat-ed vision loss in lab tests according to recent medical research from the University of Alberta

Yves Sauveacute a researcher in the Faculty of Medicine amp Dentistry and his team discovered that lab models fed DHA did not accumulate a toxic molecule at the back of the eyes The toxin normally builds up in the retina with age and causes vision loss

ldquoThis discovery could result in a very broad therapeutic userdquo says Sauveacute whose work was recently published in the peer-reviewed jour-nal Investigative Ophthalmology amp Visual Science

ldquoIn normal aging this toxin increases twofold as we age But in lab tests there was no increase in this toxin whatsoever This has never been demonstrated before -- that supplementing the diet with DHA could make this kind of differencerdquo

The team recently started another study looking at people who have age-related macular degeneration a condition that results in loss of central vision and is the main cause of blindness in people over the age of 50 The researchers will look for DNA markers in the blood of study participants The team wants to determine whether participants with certain genetic markers will respond better to increasing amounts of DHA in their diet and if so why

Sauveacute is a researcher in the departments of ophthalmology and physiology at the U of A

Various organizations funded the research the primary funder was the Canadian Institutes of Health Research

Courtesy of WebMD -- Who doesnrsquot enjoy a tall cool glass of juice The color is vibrant the taste sweet and itrsquos good for you too Not so fast say some dietitians Although the best kinds of juice deliver a bounty of vitamins the worst are hardly better than liquid candy WebMD helps you spot the difference

Drinking your veggies is a conve-nient way to add powerful plant-based nutrients to your diet The lycopene in tomato juice appears to lower the risk of prostate cancer Beet juice may reduce blood pres-sure Pulpy vegetable juice is also packed with fiber that can help con-trol hunger And all of these benefits come without a catch Vegetable juice has far less sugar and fewer calories than the typical fruit juice but it is high in sodium unless you choose the low salt version

Be on alert for the terms juice cocktail juice-flavored beverage or juice drink Most of these prod-ucts contain only small amounts of real juice The main ingredients are usually water and some type of sugar such as high-fructose corn syrup Nutritionally these drinks are similar to most soft drinks mdash rich in sugar and calories but low in nutri-ents Research suggests that sug-ary fruit drinks put kids at risk for obesity and related health problems The 2010 Dietary Guidelines recom-mends water over sugary drinks

If yoursquore only going to drink one glass of juice each day you want to make it a good one So letrsquos ex-plore which juices offer the biggest nutritional payoff per sip Pomegran-ate juice tops the list Itrsquos high in sugar and calories but delivers an abundant dose of antioxidants These substances appear to protect brain function and may ward off cancer In one study 8 ounces of pomegranate juice daily reduced the recurrence of prostate cancer

Cranberry juice is packed with vitamin C which is vital to a healthy immune system There is also evidence to support a folk remedy -- drinking unsweetened cranberry juice may help reduce your risk of urinary tract infections

Substances in blueberries may help keep the brain healthy In a small study researchers looked at the effect of blueberry juice on memory in adults in their seven-ties who had age-related memory decline Those who drank 2 12 cups of blueberry juice for 12 weeks had significant improvement on learning and memory tests compared to those who drank a non-juice beverage So choose blueberry juice to boost brain health

Researchers have only begun look-ing into the health benefits of acai juice which is made from a berry found in South America But early studies are promising Acai pulp appears to have a higher concentra-tion of antioxidants than cranber-ries blackberries strawberries or blueberries

Besides delivering a wealth of antioxidants some berry juices appear to have anti-inflammatory properties According to one study drinking cherry juice before and after your work-out can reduce exercise-induced muscle pain

Wersquove all heard that red wine in moderation can be good for the heart The same is true of red grape juice Red grape juice contains po-tent antioxiodants -- flavanoids and resveratrol The key is that wine and juice are made with the entire grape -- seeds skin and all When you eat fresh grapes you miss out on nutri-ents hiding in the seeds

Another viable folk remedy prune juice has long been recommended to relieve constipation It works because itrsquos extremely high in fiber and contains a natural laxative called sorbitol But the benefits of prune juice donrsquot stop there The juice is also packed with antioxidants iron and potassium

Itrsquos a staple at breakfast but does this popular juice carry its weight The good news is orange juice is loaded with vitamin C a star for its immune-boosting benefits In addition orange juice is often forti-fied with calcium and vitamin D nutrients that strengthen the bones

TECH IT FROM MY BARBER by Benjamin Maynigo

Yesterday I received a reminder from the international headquarters of the International CES organizers that reg-istration to the conference and exhibit show just started

I wasted no time to register as a member of the Press again Like in previous years it will be held in Las Vegas Nevada The actual conference will be on January 8 ndash 12 2013 but I will be going a little earlier to attend the Pre-Conference Media events The latter starts January 6th

I am encouraging Asian Journal read-ers who are consumer technology pro-fessionals andor enthusiasts to attend and register early Registration now until August 31st is free but it will cost $100 starting September 1st and will increase to $200 on January 2 2013

This is the most important global tech-nology event of the year I have attended it every year for more than a decade now It had grown in terms of atten-dance and exhibit participation annually since I started going

During the International CES 2012 there were more than 140000 of us at-tending For International CES 2013 it is expected to attract more than 150000 top executives retail buyers content providers entertainment executives venture capitalists engineers govern-ment offi cials and media from 150 countries

Innovations Inventions and Initia-tives in several aspects of life will be on display New innovations in hardware software and apps cloud computing lifestyle technologies digital health and automotive technologies will be featured

As I have described in my previ-ous articles attending the likes of the International CES is like witnessing ldquolittle miraclesrdquo created and performed by fi nite beings as if guided by some Infi nite Being

I always enjoyed watching the demos of new products either vying to be in the Top 10 Gadgets Standing or just exhibit-ing them in their respective booths

It is always nice to see the best Mobile Apps demonstrated by developers and analyze their relevance as tools to inform or be informed to educate and be educated to entertain and be enter-tained and to be effi cient and effective

The brave non-violence of the

Subaanen peopleby Fr Shay Cullen PREDA

Some thousands of indigenous people all over the Philippines es-pecially in Mindanao especially the Subaanen people on the Zamboanga Peninsula have struggle for years to stop mining corporations from moving in to explore and mine the mountains and hills They are victims of corrupt government offi cials and even judges who are captivated by the vested inter-est of the mining industry

Some Indigenous people are sadly being forced to turn to armed resis-tance as the mining corporations move into their lands The Subaanen people have remained steadfastly non-violent and turned to the rule of law and trust in the constitution to protect them and their rightsBut is it enough

Hundreds of thousands of hectares of ancestral land has been threatened by the illegal and corrupt acts of some offi cials of the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Allegedly some of these offi cials are not on the side of the people in Mindanao but are for the rich and powerful mining interests and the banks that fund them

They allegedly enrich themselves by giving mining permits to companies

over ancestral lands which is forbidden by law It is at this level in the provinc-es where the anti-corruption campaign of President Aquino is weakest He has deposed a former president and a chief Justice but not yet the corrupt offi cials in Mindanao While the president is dedicated and honestly trying to clean up the stinking garbage of corrup-tion he cannot seemingly oust these entrenched offi cials the henchmen and women of powerful political families

They do not have allegiance to their department cabinet secretary or the president In fact they are ones who defy the president and are the hardest to get rid off The presidents politi-cal allies could be behind the corrupt practices that is opening the way for the illegal logging and issuance of mining permits They are pushing the president to override the provincial governments bans on open pit mining He must resist this pressure

Mining companies that get a permit to explore and mine also get a logging permit for the cutting the trees in the area alloted to them for mining This is totally destructive and is a way around the presidential ban on logging which goes on unabated Just drive through Mindanao and you will pass twenty or thirty huge trucks hauling cut logs I have seen them myself

For many years the Subaanen people and their supporters have stood peace-fully for their rights courageously and bravely to stop the local dynastic families and their cronies in the Inter-national mining industry from mining

their ancestral lands The Subaanen have been non-violent and trusted the democratic rule of law to save them

Their breakthrough cam in August 2011 when the Supreme Court of the Philippines granted a Writ of Ka-likasan (A protection of nature) to the people to protect the environment of the whole of the Zamboanga Peninsu-la A Writ of Kalikasan is a powerful legal remedy under Philippine law which provides for the protection ones right to a balanced and health-ful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature as provided for in Section 16 Article II of the Philippine Constitution It protects ones right for a healthy environment against damage of such magnitude that it threatens life health or property of inhabitants in two or more cities or provinces But the government of-fi cials are ignoring the Supreme Court order

Bishop Jiminez and three other bishops and an archbishop signed a letter to the London based sharehold-ers of the mining company RTZ-CRA trying to get the offi cials to stop the mining and logging wrote to the shareholders

In part he letter said ŠSince the company has the right to expatriate all the profi ts you the shareholders will probably earn some money However many of our people who own the lands where all the minerals are will become paupers Our rivers and seas

In travelling the countryside or while you are crossing the street driving your car taking the subway bedridden in the hospital or stuck in prison dont forget to say your Rosary every day Let the beads slip between your fi ngers they also slip between the fi n-gers of the Holy Father at the Vatican those of a grandmoth-er in Alaska a child on a hill in Rwanda a football player on a fi eld in Rio a Carthusian monk in his cell a Carmelite in her cloister or young evangelists on a mission

The Rosary is the certainly the prayer of the poor and the small the

sick and the suffering par excel-lence Yes always and everywhere not only in space but also in time The latitudes of the planet and longi-

tudes of history crisscross

The Hail Mary has moistened the lips of mil-lions of all ages races and nations How many chil-dren learned it as their fi rst prayer How many of the

dying whispered it as their ultimate testament The Hail Mary is a syn-thesis of two fi rst names Mary and Jesus

Father Daniel Ange

Never Forget to Say Your Rosary Everyday

Daily Meditation Listening With

Our Wounds To enter into solidarity with a suf-

fering person does not mean that we have to talk with that person about our own suffering Speaking about our own pain is seldom helpful for someone who is in pain A wounded healer is someone who can listen to a person in pain without having to speak about his or her own wounds When we have lived through a pain-ful depression we can listen with great attentiveness and love to a depressed friend without mentioning our experience Mostly it is better not to direct a suffering persons attention to ourselves We have to trust that our own bandaged wounds will allow us to listen to others with our whole beings That is healing

July 10 2012 Daily Meditation Text excerpts taken from Bread for the Journey by Henri JM Nouwen copy1997 HarperSanFrancisco All Scripture from The Jerusalem Bible copy1966 1967 and 1968 Darton Longman amp Todd and Doubleday amp Co Inc

Q How do you describe a luke-warm soul

A Jesus said lukewarm souls are souls who if He can only vomit out He will They are the souls He wanted to vomit out when He was in calvary Like in Geth-semane He said if it is only possible that He will not have to drink the cup He will not drink from it because these are the souls who are already in the light but decided to transfer to darkness That is why our Lord said what these souls are doing is the most hurting thing for Him

Q What makes Jesus happy

A What makes Jesus happy is if you can love your enemy Because how can you face God and beg for His mercy if you are not also merciful The truth is it is very diffi cult to love our enemy But there is a secret And the secret is fi rst of all we have to conquer our selves The truth is our num-ber one enemy is ourselves

because pride is in us hatred is in us all the negative are in us But if you are able to conquer your self if we are

able to defeat ourselves it means we do not have anymore pride no more hatred no more envy no more nega-tive and if all the negative are gone

it will be very easy to love your enemy

The truth is it is very easy to say ldquo I forgive yourdquo but it only comes from the mouth Deep inside the negatives are still in your heart and if it is not removed it will remain with you forever That is why you need to remove the negative You can only remove these if you love your enemy Because if you love your enemy ev-erytime you pray he is always included in your prayer and everytime you pray for your enemy slowly the thorn is be-ing removed and if the thorn is removed completely that will make Jesus very happy

To love an enemy means it is not necessary to like Just pray for him Do not say anything against him

a good chance that we will be able to extend this forward momentum as we anticipate better fi rst-half earnings from our listed fi rms The latest sovereign credit rating up-grade also provides additional support for future growth so overall I think we are in a terrifi c position to keep on im-provingrdquo PSE president Hans Sicat said in a press statement

Last July 5 the PSEi again beat its previous record high to post a fresh all-time high at 536998 As of July 6 the PSEi was the top performing market in Asia with a gain of 227 percent year-to-date beating bourses in Singapore Indonesia Malaysia Thailand Vietnam Hong Kong India and China among others

In the fi rst six months cyclical stocks banking and property led the PSEirsquos rise in the fi rst quarter albeit all indices were on the green

The fi nancial index emerged as the best performer in the fi rst half after surging by 346 percent to the 130442 level The fi nancial index was likewise the best performer in terms of bot-tomline based on fi rst-quarter earnings culled by the PSE

The next best performer was the property index which jumped by 301 percent to fi nish at 192748 in the fi rst half

The holding fi rms index rose by 281 percent to the 448880 level

Other indices performed as follows in the fi rst six months the industrial index rallied by 108 percent to fi nish at 783957 the services index climbed by 88 percent to 175902 -the mining and oil index crept higher by 48 percent to 2462948 points

ldquoJust like our main index investor confi dence in Philippines Inc is at an all-time high Whatrsquos remarkable is that we have been able to achieve unprec-edented growth even in the midst of ongoing uncertainties in the Western hemisphere and a cooling Chinese economy This is a testament to the effectiveness of the reforms that the country has undertaken which further contributed to the stable macroeconomic environmentrdquo Sicat said

The PSEirsquos fi nish in the fi rst six months was higher by 95520 points from its previous close of 429121 in the same period last year

The combined market capitalization of issues listed on the PSE during the January to June period stood at P1005 trillion up by 128 percent from a year ago

Total turnover for the fi rst half reached P94773 billion or 432 percent higher than the P66181 billion registered in the same period the previous year Average daily turnover stood at P764 billion an increase of 455 percent year-on-year

Skyscanner saidRussia got 17 percent and

10 percent for UKldquoRussians can be more direct when

talking which may be misconstrued as being ruderdquo said Tatiana Da-nilova Russian market manager for Skyscanner ldquoHowever this is more a difference in culture than genuine rudenessrdquo

Danilova attributed this to the Russian language which ldquois not as polite as Englishhelliprdquo

ldquoSo when Russians translate directly from Russian to English it can sound rude to an English speaker even if they donrsquot mean it tordquo Danilova ldquoRussians tend to consider British people extremely polite due to their courteous way of speakingrdquo

I once asked my mentor how I could repay him for his kindness He told me to help 100 other people and my debt would be repaid in full Irsquod like to help at least a million people It is great to be recognized by your peers but I feel I should be recognizing the commu-nity for their steadfast and unwavering support for me and my colleagues at IW Grouprdquo said Bill Imada Chairman amp CEO IW Group Inc - Philanthropy Leadership honoree

In spite of the challenging fundraising environment APCF was successful at raising more than $150000 that was dis-tributed among its 29 Affi liate Agencies which provide health and human ser-vices to Asian and Pacifi c Islander (API) and other ethnic communities in need throughout Los Angeles County The mission of APCF is to build healthier and stronger API communities working with its affi liates corporate and commu-nity partners and individuals to generate resources for this often overlooked and under-served population

In addition special grant presentations were made by Verizon and Walmart totaling $100000 For the second year Verizon is funding APCFrsquos scholarship program for students pursuing higher education in the science technology engineering and math related fi elds In a time when students are faced with signifi cantly rising costs of obtaining a college degree it is important that there is support for these students in the Asian and Pacifi c Islander communities A total of $25000 in scholarship awards will be given out in 2012

Shooting StarPoem No 9

I wish I was a shooting star streaking through the night sky

Being here and there in brief fl ash of light

And really nowhere to be found

Me in your life being caught in your universe

Running around in circles ever nearing your space

Seeking the face by which I am doomed to certain death

Like a fl ash like a bang I am nowhere to be found

Me in your life caught in your universe streaking aimlessly

towards destruction envying the celestial dance between Moon

and Sun Sun and earth earth and heaven seeking freedom

from my desolated journey in you I found destruction through

my destruction I found my freedom

Seaoil karter Gabriel Cabrera along with fellow Filipino Flynn Jackes fi nally ended the half a decade title drought for the Philippines in the Mini-ROK class of the Asian Karting Open Championshipsrsquo opening leg at the Kartodromo de Coloane in Macau The 5-leg international race series is regarded as the most prestigious karting tilt in Asia

Racing abroad for the fi rst time 12 year old Cabrera topped the time trials at 103674 despite the absence of a coach and with only his chief mechanic Joesefi lo Bariquit in tow

The Philippines enjoyed a momentous 1-2-3 moment at the time trials with Cabrera grabbing pole position followed by Xedrei Daquigan in second and Flynn Jackes in third

Enduring an abdomen injury incurred from a crash during the fi nals warm-up Cabrera nevertheless decided to continue to race in the fi nals Surging to 2nd place from 5th in the fi nal grid the excruciating pain however led Cabrera to slip to 4th place by the end of the race

Although bowing to Jackes for the top spot Cabrerarsquos admirable show of resilience and perseverance endeared him to fans and foes alike who knew of his injury In true AKOC camaraderie Cabrera even found an unlikely ally in Taiwanese rival Lin Tsen Han who along with his crew immediately as-

sisted Cabrera as he fi nally collapsed in pain at the weigh-in area

ldquoThere is no such thing as a broken spirit only broken bones But not even that can stop a Filipino karterrsquos will to winrdquo says Cabrera as he was whisked off to the Kiang Wu Hospital to receive emergency medical treatment

He eventually was stable enough to return to the track a few hours later in time to receive his 3rd runner-up trophy at the awarding ceremonies Cabrera is the son of Los Angeles-based business-man Richard Cabrera and is slated to compete in the seriesrsquo second leg later this month in Manila

Cabrera Win Hearts In Asian Karting

by Steven Buller KIvaorgAccording to a recent article in Ma-

laya Business Insight a Filipino news-paper there were 9050 bank facilities operating in the Philippines at the end of 2011 At the same time there were 15600 pawnshops and 9500 licensed

money changers that were licensed to provide fi nancial services such as remittance transactions and bill pay-ments

The Philippines are fragmented by nature The country has 7000 islands 2000 of which are inhabited Since most banks are in urban areas reaching clients on the smaller remote islands can be extremely diffi cult and costly In a country where the savings rate is abysmal many people depend on credit for everyday expenses Non-bank facilities like pawnshops which are regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (or BSP the Philippines central bank) fi ll this gap

The BSP is currently considering allowing convenience stores or ldquosari-sari shopsrdquo to become banking agents as well They would be allowed to offer a variety of services including handling remittance transactions As nearly one out of 10 Filipinos lives and works abroad remittance transactions represent a huge portion of demand for fi nancial services In fact the Philip-

pines is one of the top fi ve recipients of remittances globally receiving about USD$19 billion annually

While this informal part of the banking sector certainly promotes fi nancial inclusion the BSP has made efforts to formalize the industry In 2010 it passed an amendment to certain banking regulations allowing for banks to establish microbanking offi ces (ldquoMBOsrdquo) MBOs are much smaller and cheaper to set up than bank branches They also offer a wider range of services that are important to Filipinos including microinsurance electronic money transfers social secu-rity payouts and savings products

The Church that Christ built

(Continued from page 4)

dividing and diluting its message These prophecies indeed came to pass False teachers introduced a host of different doctrines and practices in the church The Bible shows that Satan the being ultimately behind this counterfeit Christianity has deceived the whole world and that Satanrsquos ministers usually appear as ministers of righteousness

Satanrsquos inroads into the Church were so rampant at this stage near the end of the First Century that true Chris-

tians were actually excommunicated from some congregations

Although Satan has repeatedly at-tacked and tried to destroy it the Church has not died out Though the details have often been hard to fi nd in history Godrsquos Church created by Jesus Christ has survived the worst persecutions of the Roman Empire and the Dark Ages as well as the attacks of more recent times

Somewhere on earth members of the small fl ock have always continued to serve God to the best of their under-standing and ability Today the Church that Christ built continues as a small but active and faithful body striving to spread Godrsquos good news in a faithless world ndash zenasultanahotmailcom

IMMIGRATION 911 By Atty Susan V Perez

While there is a shortage for nurses in the United States there is still no indication when USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) will resume issuing immigrant visas to fi ll the void There are many skilled and experienced foreign nurses in the United States who are looking for jobs in vari-ous hospitals and healthcare facilities Hospitals and health care facilities want to utilize their skills and services but there arenrsquot immigrant visas available because of the retrogression Irsquove talked to Filipino registered nurses who have been waiting for the immigrant visa for a long time and are willing to take nonimmigrant visas

THE H-1B NONIMMIGRANT VISAThe H-1B program allows employers

to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise in a specialized fi eld and a bachelorrsquos degree or its equivalent Typical H-1B occupations include architects engineers computer programmers accountants doctors and college professors Certain specialty occupations in the nursing industry may qualify for H-1B nonimmigrant status Specifi cally a narrow group of nurses holding a baccalaureate or higher degree (or equivalency) in nursing that includes advanced practice nurses (such as Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS) Nurse Practitioners (NP) Certifi ed Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA) and Certifi ed Nurse-Midwives (CNM)) nurse managers and nursing adminis-trators may qualify for H-1B status According to USCIS data the issuance of H-1B visas for specialty occupation nurses varies greatly from year to year In recent history the greatest number of H-1B nurse visas issued in any given fi scal year was only 136 The H-1B visa for specialty occupation nurses is avail-able to qualifi ed nurses from all foreign countries However the limited scope of eligible specialty occupations greatly narrows the potential use of the H-1B to fi ll US nursing job vacancies For instance many RNs may not qualify for an H-1B because employers and state licensing boards do not usually require a BSN to perform services as a registered nurse On June 11 2012 the H-1B cap has been reached and USCIS stopped accepting applications for H-1B The next H-1B season will be open on April 1 2013

THE H-1C NONIMMIGRANT VISAThe H-1C nonimmigrant classifi ca-

tion enables foreign nurses to perform services as a registered nurse in a US health professional shortage area as determined by the US Department of Labor To qualify for an H-1C visa both the employer and employee must meet certain eligibility criteria The US employer must 1) be a ldquosubsection (d)rdquo hospital under the Social Security Act 2) be located in a ldquoHealth Profes-sional Shortage Areardquo 3) have at least 190 acute care beds 4) have a Medicare population of no less than 35 5) have a Medicaid population of less than 28 and 5) be certifi ed by the Department of Labor

Since the H1-C nonimmigrant visa program sunset on December 20 2009 visas for hundreds of nurses have expired or will expire soon leaving H-1C authorized healthcare employers struggling to provide much-needed pro-fessional nursing care with a dwindling nursing staff HR 1933 is currently pending before the US Senate Judiciary

Committee which would reauthorize the H-1C nonimmigrant visa program Ac-cording to recent information provided by this committee HR 1933 remains on its agenda but is not yet scheduled for a Senate vote As drafted the bill will reauthorize the availability of 300 H-1C visas for an initial validity period of three years with the opportunity to renew H-1C status for an additional three years There is however no guar-antee that HR 1933 will be approved and become a law

THE H-3 TRAINEE VISAThe H-3 visa is a rarely used option

available to temporary workers includ-ing nurses The primary purpose of this visa is to enable the foreign nurse to receive training and not to provide productive employment unless such employment is incidental and necessary to the training It is better than the F-1 or student visa because they get paid during the training

The H-3 trainee has been defi ned by the Code of Federal Regulations as ldquoa nonimmigrant who seeks to enter the United States at the invitation of an individual or organization for the purposes of receiving training in any fi eld of endeavor such as agriculture commerce communications fi nance government transportation as well as training in a purely industrial establish-mentrdquo1 Physicians are not eligible to apply under this category but nurses are For nurses the basic requirements are 1) the proposed training is unavailable in the home country 2) the training is designed to benefi t the applicant in pur-suing her career in the home country 3) the nurse has passed the licensure exam in the country where she obtained her nursing education and 4) a statement from the petitioning employer that the applicant is fully qualifi ed to engage in the training

It is important that the employer dem-onstrate that the trainee will be returning to another country to use the skills he or she gained in the United States At the interview the applicant nurse must show that he or she will not abandon residence in a foreign country and that he or she intends to depart the United States at the end of the training program Therefore the H-3 petition may be denied if the applicant nurse has a certifi ed perma-nent labor certifi cation or has an I-140 Immigrant Petition fi led by the same employer on his or her behalf

The training program should not be longer than two (2) years There will be no extension change of status or re-admission to H or L status granted after two (2) years unless the alien resided and is physically present outside the United States for six (6) months This is not too bad compared to the J-1 trainee

who is required to stay in his or her home country for two years Spouses and children of the H-3 visa holder are eligible for H-4 dependent status

H-3 visa holders are given social security numbers and will be paid while undergoing the training However they should not be receiving as much as the regular employees because this can be perceived as displacing the US citizens

Philippine Star | Manila Philippines 792012 - The province of Bohol is out to reclaim its post as the top tourist destination in the country

This is the newfound vision of the government of Bohol which recently launched its newest tourism campaign mdash dubbed ldquoBohol Heart of the Islands Truly Philippinesrdquo mdash in partnership with Philippine Bohol Arts Foundation Institute (PABFI) and the provincersquos tourism stakeholders

Aimed at immensely boosting local and foreign tourist arrivals and making the province the countryrsquos preferred travel desti-nation the campaign showcases Boholrsquos rich cultural and historical heritage highlighting its rich eco-cultural value beyond the Chocolate Hills and the diminutive tarsiers the worldrsquos smallest primate

ldquoOther than the usual sites that are being promoted here the Loboc River the Chocolate Hills the tarsi-ers and the white sand beaches of Panglao there is more to discover in Bohol that will make a greater tourism impact not only for the province but also in relation to the Philippine context of promoting the countryrdquo said Bohol Governor Edgar Migrintildeo Chatto

The event held at the Centennial Hall in Manila Hotel gathered key public offi cials and tourism leaders

More Fun in the Philippines Bohol rolls out new tourism campaignincluding Manila Hotel president and former senator Joey Lina Philippine Tour Operators As-sociation (PHILTOA) president Cesar Cruz and Tourism Secre-tary Ramon Jimenez Jr

Others who graced the event were prominent travel program personalities Susan Calo Medina and Cory Quirino PBAFI execu-tive director Ria Cauton Tigum Bol-anon Tibuok Kalibutan (TBTK) president Betty Garcia Bohol Provincial Council chair Lucas Nunag board members of the province of Bohol and Amor Maclang director for PR and Communications of GeiserMa-

Bohol Governor Edgar Chatto and De-partment of Tourism Secretary Ramon Jime-nez shake hands during the unveiling of the Bohol campaign Bohol Heart of the Islands Truly Philippines

clang Marketing Communications Inc (GMCI) who later presented the marketing framework of the campaign

Located in Central Visayas Bohol literally sits in the heart of the Philippine archi-pelago Boasting diving sites revered as among the best worldwide the province is home to a number of natural wonders such as mdash aside from the Chocolate Hills mdash the biggest mangrove planta-tion in Asia and the Dajanon Bank the lone double-barrier reef in the region and one of

only six such marine structures in the world

Chocolate Hills do turn green during the rainy season

Apart from its diverse marine and terrestrial life and picturesque land-scapes a unique element that makes Bohol a truly quintessential Filipino destination is the great display of the remarkable and lively dynam-ics between the Filipinosrsquo inherent animistic and Catholic cultures

ldquoBohol and its people have a cer-tain respect and appreciation for her-itage and traditionrdquo Chatto shared ldquoThis is why we have come up with this campaign to highlight the capti-vating charm that Bohol exudes and the heartwarming hospitality offered by Boholanos themselvesrdquo

One of the things that Bohol would like to promote and enrich through its new tourism campaign is the element of nationalistic pride ldquoBy showing everyone how Boholanos have preserved practices and beliefs that other Filipinos have already

seemed to forget we are also able to emphasize the value of cherishing their heritagerdquo PBAFI executive Ria Cauton noted ldquoIn an age when our culture are soaked in various colonial ideas and infl uences thatrsquos really something that has become rarerdquo

Boholrsquos colorful history can be seen all over the prov-ince mdash especially when one looks upon its well-preserved Hispanic structures scattered

all over like the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in

Dauis which attracts thousands of devout Catholics every year and the Church of Our Lady of the Immacu-late Conception in Baclayon which is touted as Asiarsquos best-preserved Jesuit church

In addition other reasons that permit the province to say ldquoYou canrsquot say yoursquove been to the Philip-pines and truly experienced Filipino culture without having gone to Bo-holrdquo are its rich and distinct culinary offerings vibrant nightlife thriving art scene and ancestral craft-making practices All of these underscore the fact that indeed one of Boholrsquos main assets is its hospitable con-stantly jovial and honest people

ldquoYou donrsquot have to be from Bohol to love Boholrdquo revealed Secretary Jimenez ldquoItrsquos simply being part of a rich cultural experience that makes a visit to Bohol unforgettable The Loboc Childrenrsquos Choir for ex-ample has become a symbolic icon of the province precisely because as an American friend who heard them once said lsquoYou cannot sing the way they do if you are not happyrsquordquo

Take a fl oating lunch cruise along the Lob-oc River in Bohol

Corella is another inland town some 10 km north of Tagbilaran Bohol In Corella you can visit the Tarsier Sanctuary where tarsiers are observed protected and are freely living on its natural habitat

Just like in any part of the world a certain place will always have a spe-cifi c food that will be considered as its ldquospecialtyrdquo In Bohol Philippines there are also a lot of foods that tour-ists must try These Bohol foods are highly recommended that one must not leave Bohol without eating such foods otherwise their stay would not be very memorable

The Bohol food that tourists must try if they are by the Alona Beach is seafood The most recommended one is prawns Oftentimes this type of Bohol food is grilled One of the restaurants in Bohol that offer seafood is JASZ Restaurant This is a recommended restaurant because prices are affordable Other Bohol restaurants by the Alona Beach that offer seafood are the Panglao Beach Resort Restaurant Trudi and The Pyramid

Those who are not much into seafood may try dining at another Bohol restaurant called the Loboc River Cruise Lunch Recommended Bohol foods offered here include omelette grilled vegetables pork and chicken barbeque Seafood lov-ers are also suggested to visit this place as it serves superb seafood like lapu-lapu fi sh calamari and tigerprawns Tourists are suggested to have desert such as fresh fruits The prices of the Bohol foods at the Loboc River Cruise Lunch are quite expensive However nothing beats the taste of its foods as everything is just so delicious

If tourists want a Western-themed restaurant they must try out the Gar-den Cafeacute ndash American that is located in Tagbilaran City Placing orders at this restaurant is quite different from the usual restaurants that we go to One has to write down the orders and hand it over to the waitress This

by Ernie Delfi n

THE METAMORPHOSISby Ernie D Delfi n America just turned 236 years

old In its over two centuries his-tory America has gone through the fi re that made it strong and stable Through countless trials during her lifetime such as the Civil War two World Wars many foreign wars like the Vietnam War and Iraqi War and civil unrests to name a few many American lives have been sacrifi ced to fi ght for what she believes in The last several years economic depressions or recessions that impoverished millions of people have become top issues in the country that have energized Amer-icans to debate intensely what is the right course for their country to pursue to better serve the well-being of her citizens and to bring back the luster and glory of America Due to national concerns on many is-sues like health care housing and global concerns on trade peace and foreign aid against the backdrop of an emerging superpower China Americarsquos national priorities and foreign policies will see a shift that will cause radical changes in this na-tion This election year will be an-other defi ning moment for America to steer Americansrsquo desire for their government to do to preserve its sta-tus as a superpower and envy of the world Despite its socio-economic problems and several foreign policy blunders that caused a signifi cant decline in Americarsquos infl uence in the world the last decade or so Ameri-cans are still a very lucky people as we are still guaranteed justice liberty and the pursuit of our own happiness that more than half of the earthrsquos population can just dream about

With that as a background I am quite grateful and fulfi lled this Independence Day 2012 as I also celebrated another birthday on July 5th (Philippine time) which is July 4th in America As 4th of July is a major holidays in the United States it has always been an opportune time for me to review my life and refl ect upon lifersquos meaning during this holiday amidst the elaborate fi re-works that surround the city where we live Having lived for over six decades now on this planet 60 of which in the American soil I can-not ask for more as I feel that I have had a ldquogood liferdquo on this earth with people I love and who love me too

The last 365 days since my last birthday were replete with surprises

events experiences and personal episodes that made me quite grateful that I am still alive and happy Like America as a person grows older (and wiser) his priorities change but his core values that serve as his compass remains constant That inexplicable feeling of joy and happiness as well as pains and suf-ferings often come to our lives as certain as the sunrise in the morning and sunset in the evening The past year has caused in me a good mix of human emotions happy sad scared regretful (for many things I have done or not done) hopeful and grateful that I am still alive and kicking today Less than a year ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and to the best of my memory I am the fi rst in my family to be stricken with that dreadful ldquoCrdquo ailment Such unexpected diagnosis from my annual medical exams has caused a very high degree of anxiety and ldquopains and sufferingrdquo within me and my family However I discovered solace and strength in my new found spiritual journey accepting that our Lord not us is in control of our lives and has admonished His people to ldquoBe not afraidrdquo Surprisingly I learned that His ldquoBe-not-afraid- advicerdquo appeared in the Bible 365 times

Thanks to my God the greatest Healer months after my surgery early this year my doctor told me that I am now a cancer survivor as my PSA level is now at negligible level He told me that he doesnrsquot want to see me more than twice a year now

Amidst that scary episode how-ever I also enjoyed many things during the past year like our month long adventure to Vienna Rome London and Paris with my one and only wife of over 30 years as our second honeymoon (many will be smiling or LOL with that bold disclosure) Another inventory of joyful accomplishments included the successful chartering of the Global Kalinga e-Rotary Club fi rst e- Club in Rotary District 3780 (and the second one in the entire Philip-pines) that I initiated and founded last year with 40 charter members who live in 6 countries that is expected to double by our fi rst An-niversary date in Oct 2012

This e-Rotary Club is like an infant that remains so tender and fragile that it needed a lot of patience and nourishment to grow But like lov-ing parents many of our committed

Independence Day 2012 and Birthday Refl ections

members are matured and patient enough to nurture this e-Rotary baby to develop it to become an Olym-pian athlete to compete in the near future Our GKeRotary Club has now members from many nationalities like Caucasians Hispanics Blacks Canadians Nigerians and Filipinos (from Luzon to Mindanao) who reside in as many 6 countries today As we grow in number with closer camaraderie among us doing many meaningful ldquoService Above Selfrdquo humanitarian proj-ects in the Philippines as well as in the city where we live we will have more FUN in this borderless e-Rotary Club than the traditional Rotary Club that meets weekly

Adhering to the ldquoSecretsrdquo in achieving a fulfi lled life by con-scious efforts (until they become unconscious efforts) to ldquobalanc-ing your Liferdquo into its essential quadrants PHYSICAL (to live) MENTAL (to learn) SOCIAL (to love) and SPIRITUAL (to leave a legacy) I have consciously put more time in one area that matters most (once you are over 60 like me) the ldquoleaving a legacyrdquo quadrant Itrsquos a fact of life that when you become a senior citizen you can no longer do many things nor eat many foods that you enjoyed when you were one and twenty when you were in high school or college so you simply adjust to your new reality Each morning that you wake up and able to walk and see the sunrise hear the chirping of birds smell the aroma of freshly brewed Healthy Coffee itrsquos always a small miracle and you thank the One Who gave you life Having accepted my own mortality that one day I will also meet my Maker I have replaced a good por-tion of ldquobusinessrdquo hours into vol-unteerism or ldquoService Above Selfrdquo hours in my church and several NGOs like the Rotary Interna-tional that truly render humanitarian works to others

Also for about fi ve years now I have been attending a weekly morn-ing Bible Study that has contributed greatly in the balancing of my life that is very hard to do in a materi-alistic society like the USA The word BIBLE has been creatively defi ned to mean ldquoB asic L essons B efore L eaving E arthrdquo and in so many ways it lsquos true All of us homo sapiens undergo that human journey like the biblical ldquoprodigal sonrdquo who must leave the family home goes away (to experience new things both good and bad) and hopefully comes back home (to his Father) as he must undergo some profound changes (for his own salvation) Life without any kind of metamorphosis the caterpillar would never become a beautiful and colorful butterfl y So does a person must undergo many phases of his transformation to enjoy his journey on this earth before he goes into that blissful state that many call Heaven or Paradise

Additionally last year I also fi nished by certifi cation classes and has been ldquocertifi edrdquo by the Diocese of Orange and the Orange County Sheriff to wear a white badge as a ldquoRestorative Justice Ministerrdquo aka ldquoPrison Detention Ministerrdquo where we visit and minister to the inmates in the Orange County Jails every week for Bible Study andor Catholic Com-munion Services every week

Meeting these ldquoinmatesrdquo (thatrsquos what they are called in County Jails in state or federal prison the incarcerated are called ldquoprisonersrdquo) and listening to them and ministering to their ldquospiritualrdquo needs on a weekly basis have an-nihilated many myths and miscon-ceptions that I used to hold ldquoagainstrdquo them Due to some educational and cultural biases I used to believe that all those in prison deserved to be there as they are ldquobadrdquo criminals but slowly I have softened that stand I now believe that although these in-mates are incarcerated they are still human beings also who still possess their human dignity as children of the same God Many martyrs and saints of the church like St John the Baptist and St Paul were also in prison The prison system is a part of the human society since biblical times and its worsening conditions in many areas are a sad refl ection of all of us en of the same God Many martyrs and our lives and He has admonished His people to ldquo

Punishments and Restorative

Justice are two schools of thoughts that are being administered in many prisons today The Catholic and many Christian churches advo-

cate that more must be done in the rehabilitation or in the Restorative Justice of inmates or prisoners in the Justice System to give back their human dignity even when they are incarcerated

Being a Prison Detention Minister and just listening and observing these inmates during our Catholic Communion Services that we do for them is another human experience

that can potentially convert a sinner like me into a better human being For instance I got an unexpected education from one woman inmate

when she declared ldquoI am now very happy that I was arrested for what I did I consider my arrest as my own rescue from a certain deathrdquo What a paradigm shift Now I can understand why there are many spiritual conversions that occur in prison because God does not leave a person wherever he is because He is everywhere

To any practicing Catholic (or any religion for that matter)

out there I highly recommend that he or she tries to see if becoming a Prison Detention or Restorative Jus-tice Minister is right for him or her It is a wonderful experience There is a great need for more dedicated and willing volunteers to minister to the spiritual needs of this growing prison population in America today

The foregoing column is a very sobering personal refl ection on

this 4th of July weekend that I am boldly sharing to all readers and my friends with a ray of hope that some may also be inspired to be an-other ldquoLamp in the City on the Hillrdquo for others to see the inexplicable wonders of God as He has mysteri-ously converted Saul the Christian persecutor into St Paul to become a great and fearless evangelist of our Christian faith

the maintenance of peace and stability respect for interna-tional law and unimpeded lawful commerce in the South China Seardquo

Clinton welcomed the meeting saying a slew of joint initiatives including disaster relief forestry policy and disease control were ldquoan important signal that the US and China not only can but will work together in Asiardquo

No threats and intimidationClinton also urged claimant

countries not to resort to threats and intimidation an indirect reference to China

ldquoWe believe the nations of the region should work collabora-tively and diplomatically to resolve disputes without coercion without intimidation without threats and without use of forcerdquo Clinton said

ldquoIssues such as freedom of navi-gation and lawful exploitation of maritime resources often involve a wide region and approaching them strictly bilaterally could be a recipe for confusion and even confronta-tionrdquo Clinton added

The US said stability is its concern in the waterway which carries $5 trillion in ship-borne trade account-ing for half the worldrsquos shipping tonnage

ldquoThe United States is going to be very clear in our determination to see progress on the code of conduct between those negotiations that are taking place between China and ASEANrdquo a senior US State Depart-ment offi cial told reporters earlier this week

Clearly outline positionClinton likewise urged ASEAN na-

tions ldquoto clearly outline its position on the Scarborough Shoalrdquo and ldquoto complete a regional code of conduct in a timely fashionrdquo

She warned about serious prob-lems to the regional bloc if ASEAN fails to address the challenge

ldquoWhat might be a challenge today for some of ASEANrsquos members if left unaddressed by all of ASEAN could lead tomorrow to issues that may become problems for other ASEAN membersrdquo she said

Clinton said the US ldquolooks to ASEAN and claimant states to provide leadership in this issue and recognizes the important role of the ASEAN chairman to fi nd consensus and advance a common ASEAN positionrdquo

ldquoASEAN needs to meet its own goals and standards and be able to speak with one voice on issues fac-ing the regionrdquo Clinton said

ASEANrsquos 10 members announced earlier this week that they have drafted a set of rules governing maritime rights and navigation and procedures for when governments disagree But China is not a member of the group and hasnrsquot agreed to anything

The ASEAN countries are present-

ing their proposal to China at this weekrsquos conference in Cambodiarsquos capital though Beijing will probably want to water down any language that ties its hands

For the US the diffi cult diplomacy ahead could be a major test of the Obama administrationrsquos efforts to ldquopivotrdquo American power toward the worldrsquos most populous continent Just speaking out on the subject already has helped the US deepen ties with Vietnam and relations are warming with other governments in the region

But countless meetings between American and Chinese offi cials have not led to progress on a lasting solution

Various longstanding disputes among China the Philippines Viet-nam Taiwan Malaysia and Brunei involve the arearsquos busy sea-lanes and many observers fear the compli-cated web of disputes could spark a violent confl ict

The standoff between China and the Philippines in Panatag (Scarbor-ough) Shoal began in April when the Philippines accused Chinese fi sher-men of poaching in its exclusive economic zone including the shoal During the tensions both sides sent government ships to the area though both have since withdrawn vessels

Vietnam has protested a recent an-nouncement by the China National Offshore Oil Corp opening nine oil and gas lots for international bidders in areas overlapping with existing Vietnamese exploration blocks Viet-nam says the lots lie entirely within its 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone and continental shelf

When conditions are ripeWith the ASEAN set to start

negotiations with China on a code of conduct Beijing said it is willing to work with member countries ldquowhen the conditions are riperdquo

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokes-person Liu Weimin said in a press conference in Beijing Monday that the code of conduct is not for the resolution of disputes in the West Philippine Sea

ldquoI would like to emphasize that the code of conduct aims not at resolv-ing the South China Sea disputes but boosting mutual trust and coopera-tion between the parties concerned in a joint bid to maintain peace and stability in the South China Seardquo Liu said

Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario for his part told the ASEAN meeting that ldquothe adher-ence of all countries in the region to a set of fair and transparent rules as embodied in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea will generate greater mutual trust and respect in the regionrdquo ndash AP Pia Lee-Brago

survive one must have a job but for one to prosper one must engage in business

For this I am not worried about my daughter She will never be unemployed a victim of closing or streamlining companies She has her own business with no overheads and she is in a higher notch than when she started and contin-ues to spiral up in her virtual store

Of course this is not for everyone This is not for the comfortable not for those who do not blaze trails not for the non-dreamers defi nitely not for those who choose to be with the ninety-fi ve percent of society who choose to be ordinary

Only fi ve percent of society dares to swim against the tides These are the likes of Steve Jobs Donald Trump Bill Gates and others like those who became millionaires in Amway

Knowing my daughter and if I am not mistaken I predict that she will persevere and succeed She is guided by the Scriptures and books written by those who have made it She is so disci-plined that she does not even watch TV She says Jessica Sanchez and Manny Pacquaio will not help her become fi -nancially free They could entertain you but when you go back to reality you are still in whatever state you are

AS THE BAMBOOS SWAY By Rudy D Liporada

A couple from church introduced Am-way to me in 1987 They showed a plan telling me that I could be a millionaire in two to fi ve years if I buy from my own store ndash soaps (both laundry and body) beauty products vitamins and many more ndash and share the dream with others

I did not care I just landed in America just two weeks before I came to Amer-ica to work in pursuit of my own kind of dream Besides even if I wanted to I did not have $8000 then to register plus I did not have lsquoothersrsquo to share dreams with

Fast forward to late 2010 My only daughter and youngest of my children then 18 gets wind of Amway She asks for $16700 so she could register to be-come what Amway calls an Independent Business Owner Although reluctant I shelled out the money After all it was not for drugs or something like that Then she tells us among others to buy from her store what we would be buying from other stores anyway Why make the other stores profi t when we should be patronizing her store The prices were competitive She changed our soaps toothpastes her momrsquos make-up kit drinks vitamins etc I did not really care To me shaving cream is shaving

cream laundry soap is laundry soap My daughter is happy I am happy

What I did not really know was she was growing her market She had others join her in her dream

In late 2010 she had to attend an Amway convention in Portland Oregon with her dozen team members ndash no one was over 21 years old They were going on a long drive for eighteen hours They needed two vans but no rent-a-car would allow them to rent the vehicles Grudg-ingly I acceded to her request that I and her mom rent one each of those vans and might as well join them ndash might as well be in the convention

And so we were there In front of ten thousand participants

couple after couple testifi ed how they realized their dream sharing Amway products They were former waitresses accountants doctors construction workers Navy Seals etc On gargantuan screens they fl aunted their villas jets yachts high end cars and their pleasure trips around the world They said that through patience and hard work for two to fi ve years they sailed to becoming millionaires ndash now waking up whenever they want and being full time moms and dads

I believed them If only one of them would be lying in front of ten thousand people the institution Amway would crumble down

Then I was angry There was this guy same as my age was a teacher like me He was on the stage as a millionaire and I was down there listening to him and I have nothing to show He got into Amway in the middle 90rsquos Deng It was introduced to me in 1987

I started reading their brochures and catalogs I came to the conclusion that mathematically you could really get rich doing this thing All you needed is the belief the emotional quotient strive patience and most of all your dreams

Nonetheless beyond the business be-yond the products beyond the dreams I treasure most what Amway has done to my daughter Instead of continuing to party like most of her peers she is reading the Bible upon waking up and follows this up with management and business related books She is in power business cloths instead of showing her belly buttons Most important before Amway she fi ghts with her mom Now they are the best of friends

So I tell my friends and acquaintances about Amway and its products Most of them because the company has been there for over 50 years have heard of it have been into it and have notions about it This is because Amway is the mother of networking and Amway stands for the American Way

Most of them too after I show or reshow them the product benefi ts and the principle of buying from your own store go back to Amway if they have been there before The main thing is all of them agree to the greatness of the products and appreciate the evolved and developed marketing system of the com-pany ndash for those in the know one does not have to horde products anymore to sell everything now is done on-line And if you are not computer suave one in the organization will do it for you because you at least know how to use your cell phone or you can directly call in the orders

Robert T Kiyosaki in his book Rich Dad Poor Dad says that in order for one to be fi nancially free one must have a business He means for one to only

Avoid immorality Every other sin a person commits is outside the body but the immoral person sins against his own body Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you whom you have from God and that you are not your own For you have been purchased at a price Therefore glo-rify God in your body (1Cor 618-20) I urge you therefore brothers by the mercies of God to offer your bodies as a living sacrifi ce holy and pleasing to God your spiritual worshipDo not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind that you may discern what is the will of God what is good and pleasing and perfect (Rom 121-2)

Words to Live By

Sa Aking Buhay (7)Sa aking buhay malimit akong maging atubili lalo na sa ikatatahimik nitong aking budhimay takot at pag-aalala aking mga sandalituloy magagandang bagay nakalampas ng madali

Sa aking buhay iniwasang pilit ang magkamali ang anuman gagawin korsquoy pag-iisipan ng mulikahit magdamagan pa ang gagawaing pagsusurisulit ang lahat bastarsquot walang mararamdamang hapdi

Sa aking buhay napagtanto ko ng tunay na tunayna kailanpaman ay walang lugar ang kasamaandahil kung mali din lamang ang tunay mong dahilanay talagang walang maganda itong kahihinatnan

Sa aking buhay natuklasan kong lsquodi lahat ng oras na dahil sa ang pakiramdam mo ngayon ay masarapay nakakasiguro kang magiging ayos ang lahatkasi hindi palaging ganoon ang nagiging wakas

Sa aking buhay ay aking napagwari ng taimtimna sa lsquoyong buhay ano nga ba ang tunay mong layunindahil sa kung ito ay lihis sa dakilang gawainang katotohanarsquoy wala ka talagang mararating

Ngayon kung maitatanong ko naman----- sa buhay mo

Joke of the Week Bill had a good friend who was a minister of long years standing They used to josh one another occasionally ldquoYou reverend think yoursquore so hotrdquo said Bill one day ldquoAfter all yoursquore only about 50 percent effective About half of the babies you baptize donrsquot stay Christians about half of the adults you convert donrsquot stay con-verted and about half the people you marry donrsquot stay marriedrdquo ldquoWersquore 100 percent on one pointrdquo answered his minister friend ldquoIf I were a bet-ting man Irsquod give you 1000 to1odds that all the people we bury stay buriedrdquo

Scriptures First Reading Jer-emiah 23 1-6 In Jeremiahrsquos time the people of the northern kingdom of Israel had been exiled to Assyria and the Israelites in the southern kingdom of Judah had been deported to Babylon There were lots of dev-astated lives and broken hearts The kings and leaders did not live up as true shepherds The prophet speaks of hope out of this dismal condi-tion God will raise a new shepherd who will rule with righteousness and unite Israel and Judah Sec-ond Reading Ephesians 2 13-18 Through Christ all religious barriers between Hebrews and non-Hebrews or Gentiles are now demolished Through Christrsquos redemptive work of salvation and reconciliation those who are ldquofar offrdquo and ldquonearrdquo are now brought together All have access to the Father with the Spirit

Gospel Mark 6 30-34 In the fi rst reading God renews the promise he made to his people 1) to bless hu-manity by bringing it back to a land where it can bear fruit abundantly

(an allusion to Genesis) 2) to raise a new king who shall rule his people justly and rightly (a promise made to Abraham and David) Christian view the blessing at creation story of Gen-esis and the promise of a new leader are both fulfi lled in Jesus Christ

Refl ections The Hebrew word for shepherd does not only mean a king and ruler it also connotes the notion of feeding defending caring

and providing Jeremiah denounced the shepherds of his time who cared for themselves alone and not for the fl ock that were entrusted to them From the Christian point of view Jesus Christ is the shepherd who restores hope to new Israel In turn Jesus wants his apostles to continue his shepherding mission

Reginald Fuller commented that in this Marcan passage the term ldquoapostlesrdquo was not originally a title but a function Jeremiah condemned Zedekiah and the last kings of Judah as shepherds who have misled the people These corrupt shepherds paid more attention to their own selfi sh vested interests than those of the fl ock The Marcan passage is implying that the apostles should

avoid committing the same serious mistake In Matthew 23 6-7 Jesus told his disciples ldquoThey (Scribes and Pharisees) love places of honor at banquets seats of honor in syna-gogues greetings in marketplaces and the salutation lsquoRabbirsquordquo The apostles are told not to put more emphasis on title such as ldquoapostlerdquo and less on responsibilities that come with it Instead they should put more weight on their duties and responsibilities Titles such as ldquodoctor teachers bishop reverend engineer lawyerrdquo denote functions and responsibilities But when a title gains more prominence than the re-sponsibilities that come with it title divides rather than unites people

PSYCHOLOGISTS HAVE PROPOSED THE FASCINATING CONCEPT OF THE DYAD (Greek dyacuteo ldquotwordquo) or bi-polar archetype Common functionaries such as doc-torpatient lawyerclient ministerparishioner and parents children are some archetypal roles Many of these roles are essentially linked to a partnering archetype hence the term dyad archetype To stress the supe-rior pole of the archetype doctor lawyer minister and parents over the other pole patient client parish-ioner and children breaks the dyad and negatively impacts both poles For instance a doctor who fails to recognize that there is a ldquophysi-cianrdquo in his patient breaks down the therapeutic relationship between him and his patient The same is true with a teacher who fails to see that he too is a ldquostudentrdquo who can learn from his students Ministers who forget that they too are in need of salvation treat their parishioners as inferiors Parents become domineer-ing and overbearing when they fail to learn from their children On the other hand the dyad is also broken when the inferior pole is emphasized over the superior pole When both poles recognize each otherrsquos strength and draw energies to enhance each otherrsquos well being there is true heal-ing learning ministering parenting and spirituality

We read in todayrsquos Gospel that Jesus invited his apostles to take a break from their tiresome activities Likewise we seek scenic vistas sun-ny beaches quiet and private places

to relax and unwind Leonardo da Vinci wrote ldquoEvery now and then go away have a little relaxation for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose power of judgment hellip Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be take in at a glance and lack of harmony or proportion is more readily seenrdquo Jesus mindful of his apostlesrsquo need for a breather after a hectic mission asked them to rest a while It was a rest aimed at energizing the apostles with the divine presence that would enable them to be more effective in their mission Onersquos summer vacation can also be an occasion to recharge our spiritual battery

ldquoNot without design does God write the music of our lives Be it ours to learn the time and not be discouraged at the rests If we say sadly to ourselves lsquoThere is no music in a restrsquo let us not forget there is the making of music in it The making of music is often a slow and painful process in this life How patiently God works to teach us How long He waits for us to learn the lessonrdquo (John Ruskin)

Quotation of the Week ldquoIf you keep a bow always bent it will break eventually but if you let it go slack it will be fi t for use when you want itrdquo Aesop

Spirituality in Dyadic Relationship

Spiritual Courage

Courage is connected with taking

risks Jumping the Grand Can-yon on a motorbike coming over Niagara Falls in a barrel or crossing the ocean in a rowboat are called courageous acts because people risk their lives by doing these things But none of these daredevil acts comes from the centre of our being They all come from the desire to test our physical limits and to become famous and popular

Spiritual courage is something completely different It is following the deepest desires of our hearts at the risk of losing fame and popular-ity It asks of us the willingness to lose our temporal lives in order to gain eternal life

Cayabyab lauds ABS-CBN Philharmonic

OrchestraABS CBN News | MANILA Phil-

ippines -- Acclaimed composer Ryan Cayabyab lauded the newly formed ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra which will make its fi rst major public debut at the ldquoIcons at the Arenardquo con-cert at the SM Mall of Asia Arena

Rehearsing this afternoon was a breeze The rare event on Saturday combines only the best Filipino art-ists together in the concert with the best musicians of the ABS-CBN Phil-harmonic What more can I ask for as musical director Ang ganda at ang sarap ng tugtuganrdquo said Cayabyab who is the musical director of

the all-star OPM concertCayabyab who composed OPM

classics such as Kay Ganda ng Ating Musika called the orchestra the newest most exciting addition to the top artists of the Kapamilya Network

He praised the orchestra members as arguably the best crossover musi-cians of the country who can perform all types and genres of music led by

a formidable music director Gerard Salonga

Early this year ABS-CBN and First Philippine Holdings Inc joined hands to promote an advocacy for Filipinos to connect and experience ldquorealrdquo and ldquogoodrdquo music Thus the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra was created to defy the notion that a full orches-tra is only limited to classical music

The 40-piece musical ensemble is also a fi rst in the history of ABS-CBN

ABS-CBN chairman Eugenio ldquoGabbyrdquo Lopez III stressed that the orchestra aims to provide music of the highest caliber to the general audience

ABS-CBN president Charo Santos-Concio on the other hand expressed her full support for the orchestra

and her optimism that this will be a signifi cant platform to celebrate the character and soul of Filipino music

According to ABS-CBN Philhar-monic Orchestrarsquos executive director Mickey Muntildeoz the orchestra shall also service the performance and music needs of ABS-CBN such as concerts as well as the musical scor-ing for movies

Muntildeoz also revealed that a youth orchestra is also being formed to train indigent but talented young Pinoys to play musical instruments

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada

(In the last chapter PMA cadet Julius Madrigal buys a bible as New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Carlo entered his room from his bath He donned on a t-shirt from his strewn clothes which he would have to pack the following day Over the shirt he pulled over a lengthwise striped sweater which made him appear taller than his five foot and a half frame He then went to the mirror and combed his still damp straight hair parting it on its left side He smiled checking his well set teeth He felt clean

Cleanliness is next to Godliness Monday after the New

Year he would be back to nearer Godliness His two weeks vacation would be over He would be back to where he would like to dedicate himself to be really next to Godli-ness

Again he would be back where everyday the brrriinnnggg brrr-riiiinnggg brrriinnnnggg wake up bell that permeates throughout the seminary walls would swirl into his eardrums and into his innermost soul jolting him to slide off the bed and be on his knees when sunrays slice through the windows of where he had confined himself to be nearer to Godliness Still in the throes of being awake his right hand flies to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Hail Mary full of gracehelliphe falls back into the abyss of nothingness but a second alarm ndash briiinnggg briiinggg brii-ingggg would bring back the swirl into his eardrums permeating into

his soul jolting him back to the re-ality that he is already on his knees Hail Mary full of gracehelliphas he said three already He would goad himself and fight against falling back into the abyss of nothingness for the umpteenth time Has he said three Hail Maries already He decides that since he had lost count he would complete three Hail Maries even if he already went over the count He would add an Our Father and a Glory Be

He gets up and staggers himself towards the exit of the dormitory towards the wash basins He passes other seminarians still in various pose of waking up on their knees or staggering out like himself The silkiness or fadedness of their paja-mas distinguishes who among them come from richer or poorer families

After freshening up he dons his white shirt and pants and black neck-tie He then marches out to join the other seminarians lining up in front of the chapel They appear like equal angels without wings Only tie clips shoes belts or brands of watches distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families

Equally mandated each one clasps his hands palms together on his chest They proceed to their assigned pews while cherubim like hymns fill the air

And the rite beginsDominus VobiscumhellipEt cum

spiritu tuohellipOra pro nobis kneelhellipsithellipstandhellipsit againhellipmostly kneel - all in sanctity to commune with the Spirit and the saints

By the offertory sanctity could be broken as Carlorsquos stomach as well as othersrsquo would growl pleading that the fangs of hunger be quelled But they have to wait though now find it hard to be in communion with the Spirit and the saints

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Finally it would be lsquoGo in peace the mass is endedrsquo

In seeking peace for their hunger they still have to be saintly tip-toe out of the chapel Their shoes then would scrape on the hallways in they dash to the dormitories in the rush to change into their school clothes

Now their over-all clothing demeanors ndash shirts pants sweaters socks shoes ndash starkly distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families Nonetheless richer or poorer they remained equal in the need to quell the fangs of hun-ger as they rush to the rectory hall

A sunny side two sausages fried rice from leftovers the night before crowd on each of the eight plates on each of the ten tables at the rec-tory The coffee would be soggy but would still be a welcome brew to enliven our breakfast which is equal for all The food they are about to receive from His bounty made them all equal except that there are also apples and juice and non soggy cof-fee at the head table where the Flem-ish rector Flemish assistant rector and Flemish principal are

Their stomachs would now really be howling gurgling clamoring for whatever they have to partake on but they all had to equally wait for the last seminarian to enter the dining hall half embarrassed half rever-ent The rector frowning for the delay would glare at the late comer before his right hand would fly to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Bless us Oh Lord in these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord Amen

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Amen

The last vestiges of reverence would now be broken as the ter-restrial need to fortify onersquos body takes precedence over the needs of the soul Chairs screech as the seminarians slide unto them Spoons and forks bang to scrape on eggs sausages and rice as they slide from the plates into munching mouths to mediate the growling gurgling stomachs

After a while Carlo would be satisfied with the egg two sausages fried rice and soggy coffee He would then have more time to often wonder why those Flemish priests also have apples juice and non soggy coffee while the seminar-ians do not Often he dismisses

the thought to just because they are already priests priests who are white because they have a different culture Nonetheless he often asks himself didnrsquot Jesus Christ share the same enliven bread and fish with his apostles

Often he would also feel guilty that having such kind of thoughts about inequality with the priests could be sacrilegious and wonders if he had to go to the con-fessional for that

Such thoughts however would vanish as he immerses himself with the day of classes ndash geometry Latin physics basketball volleyball lunch more studies ping-pong ro-sary and the long litanies and night prayers

The thoughts of inequality how-ever would invade his mind again the following day right after the br-riinnggg brrriinggg brriingggg and the regimen begins

And the regimen he would be go-ing back to made the short Christ-mas holiday break really shorter Nonetheless he had dedicated himself to the vocation and glad that no one or nothing during the vaca-tion made him feel that it was really short He had again passed the test of being out of the seminary walls with still the resolve that he would be going back for Godlinessrsquos sake

Vacations are not only respites from the sanctified isolationrsquos regimen They are tests to how one would not succumb to the calls of the human flesh in the outside world Should one not be able to resist temptations it would be better for one to fall away from the calling earlier than later after one is fully vested when the faithful would be subject to disillusionment

Nonetheless tonight Carlo would indulge in a simple call of the flesh He was ready for the dinner prepared by his mother one much better than the feasts of the priests

The MoringaMalunggay Tree with its edible leaves flowers and pods is one of most power packed nutritious trees in the world It goes by many different names drumkstick tree the Miracle tree the Never Die Tree the Miracle tree

I wrote an article on that subject here but it is also one of the most healing trees in the world All of the tree is ei-ther used for food medicine or cooking It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for hundreds of years to both prevent and treat almost 300 diseasesThe in-formation in this article is not based on double blind research but on the histori-cal and current usage of Moringa leaves flowers and pods in India and many other countries This is how the people have used it in the past and how they use it now Much of this information was observed and documented in the different health projects by physicians in their treatment of AIDS malnutrition and disease In India Ayurvedic physi-cians use it in their standard treatment protocols

How can Moringa leaves have an im-pact on so many problems Many health problems are due to poor nutrition malnutrition and imbalanced disease states which result in immune system breakdown and disease When you correct those imbalances and nutritional deficiencies with super packed nutritious food it is bound to improve health and disease states The ability for Moringa leaves flowers bark and pods to have such diverse healing effects is due to the vitamins minerals antioxidants and healing elements the tree contains

Here is a nutritional breakdown of Fresh Moringa Leaves 7 times the Vitamin C of Oranges 4 times the Cal-cium of Milk 3 times the Potassium of Bananas 2 times the Protein of Yogurt 4 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and frac34 the iron of Spinach

Moringa leaves when dried become a even greater powerhouse of nutri-tion containing frac12 the Vitamin C of Oranges 17 times the Calcium of Milk 15 times the Potassium of Bananas 9 times the Protein of Yogurt 25 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and 20 times the Iron in Spinach All elements except the Vitamin C is increased when you dry the leaves under low temperatures Drying the leaves in direct sunlight decreases its nutritional values

How Moringa and Artemisia Annua Leaves benefit AIDS Patients

There are health projects going on

in Tanzania Musoma and other areas There is a real AIDS crisis in these areas In these AIDS cases the doctors have found that the combination of two herbs Moringa and Artemisia Annua improved the energy stamina and CD4 counts of the AIDS patients Some of their patients came in so weak they were not able to walk or care for them-selves They improved so dramatically that many were able to go back to work and many stayed to help the incoming patients These dramatic improvements were documented over and over again by the doctors in these health projects

How the herbs were used in the treat-ment protocols

The physicians combined dried Mor-inga Leaves with Artemisia Annua and then added one heaping teaspoonful of the powder to make a tea A liter of tea using 5 grams of the powder was given 3 times a day to the patient while the symptoms were acute Later when the patients improved it was reduced to a cup a day When you consider the super nutrition in Moringa leaves it is easy to understand how the Aids patients would improve The power packed nutrition would bolster their immune function strength stamina and ability to live a more normal active life

Moringa does NOT cure AIDS but helps the AIDS patient live longer and improves their quality of life and health Often the AIDS patient does not die from AIDS but from one of the opportunistinfections that prey on their compromised immune system

Moringa Leaves effects on blood pres-sure blood sugar breast milk produc-tion and anemia

In India the leaves are used to normalize blood pressure and to treat anxiety In 1994 a team of researchers identified a new nitride and mustard oil glycoside that demonstrated its ability to lower blood pressure

An infusion of the leaf is used to reduce sugar levels though not as ef-fectively as the standard hypoglycemia medicine

Moringa leaves mixed with honey then followed with coconut milk drunk 2 to 3 times a day is used for diarrhea dysentery and colitis

Moringa leaves have been observed and documented by doctors in the health projects to increase breast milk produc-tion and the health of nursing mothers This is due to the nutrition in the leaves especially the protein calcium and iron

Refreshing News | 7122012 -- Top experts separate the fact from myth once and for all--and reveal some surprises in the process Myth 1 Eating at Night Makes You Fat FACT If your overall calorie intake is appropriate for weight loss or maintenance it may benefit you to eat something after dinner says Joni Rampolla RD Director of Nu-trition and Wellness for Medifast

Late-night calories will ultimately get used the next day (and even while you sleep) To keep your en-ergy levels up it is better to spread your calories out during the day when your body needs fuel Aim to eat something every two or three hours This will stabilize blood sugar levels and help you feel full and energized all day

If you do need a late-night snack consider keeping it to 200 calories or less

Myth 2 Hunger is a sign you need food FACT The body commonly sends cues of hunger when it is dehydrated sleep deprived or sensing psycho-logical hunger If yoursquore not drinking enough water or getting enough sleep this alone can cause you to sense hunger even though yoursquore full Rampolla says

Myth 3 Losing weight is harder than keeping it off FACT More than 90 percent of dieters regain the weight they lost (or more) once they ldquofinishrdquo their plan Rampolla says If you resume eating the foods you ate before los-ing weight you will gain the weight back-and maybe a few extra pounds Herersquos why After weight loss your slimmer body requires fewer calo-ries to function Plus if your weight-loss plan does not include enough protein you might lose muscle mass in addition to excess fat Why thatrsquos bad Muscle burns more calories than fat does so losing muscle will lower your metabolism

Every day make a positive decision to stay on track with your new healthy lifestyle Maintaining healthy eating habits is a lifelong commitment and takes persistence Rampolla says

Myth 4 Exercise makes you tired FACT As the body gets in better shape most people feel exercising gives them more energy than before Regular exercise can also help fight fatigue improve your sleep and manage your stress says Gina Crome MS MPH RD and Top 10 FitOrbitcom trainer

Myth 5 Working out is a big time commitment FACT To main-tain a healthy weight you can work out as little as 20 to 40 minutes most days of the week If your goal is to lose weight itrsquos advised that you aim for about 45 to 60 minutes each day Crome says

The best part You donrsquot need to fit it all into one session Most of us can find five to 10 minutes to spare

at different points in the day Using these spare minutes throughout the day to be active adds up quickly and eventually becomes a regular part of your healthy lifestyle

Myth 6 Lower-body workouts will give you lean legs faster FACT The type of exercise you do does not affect the number of fat cells in a specific area Crome says Even if you do 100 abs exer- cises every day without proper nutri-tion quality sleep and a well-round- ed fitness routine you might never achieve the toned flat stomach you want You will help develop the muscles in that area but that doesnrsquot equate to fat loss

When the body loses

fat it does so

in a

sys-

temic fashion-all over the body at the same time Aside from surgical procedures such as liposuction there is no way to direct or influence the elimi-nation of fat from

specific areas Crome says Myth 7 You should

only eat carbs when yoursquore ac-tive FACT This myth is based on the belief that since carbs are the bodyrsquos preferred energy source you shouldnrsquot eat them when yoursquore inactive-like most people are in the evening However many individuals have atypical schedules or regularly exercise after work These people benefit from consuming appropri-ate amounts of carbohydrates in the evening to fuel their lifestyle says John Bosse RD and Member of the Research amp Development team for USANA Health Sciences

For someone who is sedentary in the evening a small high-protein snack such as 23 cup of full-fat cottage cheese or a protein shake can actually help you stay slim Research shows that eating high-quality protein at regular intervals promotes better body composition and since a lot of time passes between dinner

and breakfast this small snack is a smart strategic move

Myth 8 Heavy weights will make you bulky FACT Unless yoursquore taking in substances that alter your hormone profile (anabolic ste-roids) it is highly unlikely that you will gain large amounts of muscle Bosse says Doing a high number of reps (20+) using light weights and stopping each set well before the point of muscular failure certainly helps improve fitness and burn calo-ries but itrsquos not the best way to get a lean toned body What is Integrate periods of heavier training (six to 10 reps) with some sets taken to muscular failure The ability to build muscle is very different for men and women and should not be confused Bosse says

Myth 9 You should do a juice cleanse to detox FACT Our bod-ies are extremely smart and have built-in processes for detoxing every day says Kristen Carlucci RD reg-istered dietitian and nutrition expert for Pitney Bowes Inc

Yes people lose weight on juice cleanses but not because of any mir-acle ingredient or because your body is cleared of toxins that are slowing

down your metabolism Weight lost during a cleanse is most likely

a result of taking in far fewer calories than

usual While fill-ing up on fruits

and vegetables is a positive thing the problem with juice cleanses is that they are a tem-porary fix They donrsquot teach you the balanced nutrition habits you should be forming in order to lose weight and keep it off for good Carlucci says

Myth 10 Carbs are the en-emy FACT With the onset of the low-carb diet craze many people deny themselves this major food group This concept is misunder-stood because itrsquos not the carbohy-drates themselves that cause weight gain itrsquos the fact that for many of us itrsquos difficult to control the portion sizes Carlucci says

Instead of cutting out carbs alto-gether (which does not sound fun at all) focus on choosing the right carbs in the proper portions Stick with whole-grain pastas and breads (each slice should have 100 calories or less and should contain at least 3 grams of fiber) and try to fill no more than 14 of your plate with starch Limit pasta to 1 cup cooked and choose potatoes that are about the size of a computer mouse

The 10 Most Misunderstood Diet and Fitness Strategies Fatty Acid Found in Fish Prevents Age-

Related Vision Loss Study Suggests

ScienceDaily (May 30 2012) mdash An omega-3 fatty acid found in fish known as DHA prevented age-relat-ed vision loss in lab tests according to recent medical research from the University of Alberta

Yves Sauveacute a researcher in the Faculty of Medicine amp Dentistry and his team discovered that lab models fed DHA did not accumulate a toxic molecule at the back of the eyes The toxin normally builds up in the retina with age and causes vision loss

ldquoThis discovery could result in a very broad therapeutic userdquo says Sauveacute whose work was recently published in the peer-reviewed jour-nal Investigative Ophthalmology amp Visual Science

ldquoIn normal aging this toxin increases twofold as we age But in lab tests there was no increase in this toxin whatsoever This has never been demonstrated before -- that supplementing the diet with DHA could make this kind of differencerdquo

The team recently started another study looking at people who have age-related macular degeneration a condition that results in loss of central vision and is the main cause of blindness in people over the age of 50 The researchers will look for DNA markers in the blood of study participants The team wants to determine whether participants with certain genetic markers will respond better to increasing amounts of DHA in their diet and if so why

Sauveacute is a researcher in the departments of ophthalmology and physiology at the U of A

Various organizations funded the research the primary funder was the Canadian Institutes of Health Research

Courtesy of WebMD -- Who doesnrsquot enjoy a tall cool glass of juice The color is vibrant the taste sweet and itrsquos good for you too Not so fast say some dietitians Although the best kinds of juice deliver a bounty of vitamins the worst are hardly better than liquid candy WebMD helps you spot the difference

Drinking your veggies is a conve-nient way to add powerful plant-based nutrients to your diet The lycopene in tomato juice appears to lower the risk of prostate cancer Beet juice may reduce blood pres-sure Pulpy vegetable juice is also packed with fiber that can help con-trol hunger And all of these benefits come without a catch Vegetable juice has far less sugar and fewer calories than the typical fruit juice but it is high in sodium unless you choose the low salt version

Be on alert for the terms juice cocktail juice-flavored beverage or juice drink Most of these prod-ucts contain only small amounts of real juice The main ingredients are usually water and some type of sugar such as high-fructose corn syrup Nutritionally these drinks are similar to most soft drinks mdash rich in sugar and calories but low in nutri-ents Research suggests that sug-ary fruit drinks put kids at risk for obesity and related health problems The 2010 Dietary Guidelines recom-mends water over sugary drinks

If yoursquore only going to drink one glass of juice each day you want to make it a good one So letrsquos ex-plore which juices offer the biggest nutritional payoff per sip Pomegran-ate juice tops the list Itrsquos high in sugar and calories but delivers an abundant dose of antioxidants These substances appear to protect brain function and may ward off cancer In one study 8 ounces of pomegranate juice daily reduced the recurrence of prostate cancer

Cranberry juice is packed with vitamin C which is vital to a healthy immune system There is also evidence to support a folk remedy -- drinking unsweetened cranberry juice may help reduce your risk of urinary tract infections

Substances in blueberries may help keep the brain healthy In a small study researchers looked at the effect of blueberry juice on memory in adults in their seven-ties who had age-related memory decline Those who drank 2 12 cups of blueberry juice for 12 weeks had significant improvement on learning and memory tests compared to those who drank a non-juice beverage So choose blueberry juice to boost brain health

Researchers have only begun look-ing into the health benefits of acai juice which is made from a berry found in South America But early studies are promising Acai pulp appears to have a higher concentra-tion of antioxidants than cranber-ries blackberries strawberries or blueberries

Besides delivering a wealth of antioxidants some berry juices appear to have anti-inflammatory properties According to one study drinking cherry juice before and after your work-out can reduce exercise-induced muscle pain

Wersquove all heard that red wine in moderation can be good for the heart The same is true of red grape juice Red grape juice contains po-tent antioxiodants -- flavanoids and resveratrol The key is that wine and juice are made with the entire grape -- seeds skin and all When you eat fresh grapes you miss out on nutri-ents hiding in the seeds

Another viable folk remedy prune juice has long been recommended to relieve constipation It works because itrsquos extremely high in fiber and contains a natural laxative called sorbitol But the benefits of prune juice donrsquot stop there The juice is also packed with antioxidants iron and potassium

Itrsquos a staple at breakfast but does this popular juice carry its weight The good news is orange juice is loaded with vitamin C a star for its immune-boosting benefits In addition orange juice is often forti-fied with calcium and vitamin D nutrients that strengthen the bones

The brave non-violence of the

Subaanen peopleby Fr Shay Cullen PREDA

Some thousands of indigenous people all over the Philippines es-pecially in Mindanao especially the Subaanen people on the Zamboanga Peninsula have struggle for years to stop mining corporations from moving in to explore and mine the mountains and hills They are victims of corrupt government offi cials and even judges who are captivated by the vested inter-est of the mining industry

Some Indigenous people are sadly being forced to turn to armed resis-tance as the mining corporations move into their lands The Subaanen people have remained steadfastly non-violent and turned to the rule of law and trust in the constitution to protect them and their rightsBut is it enough

Hundreds of thousands of hectares of ancestral land has been threatened by the illegal and corrupt acts of some offi cials of the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Allegedly some of these offi cials are not on the side of the people in Mindanao but are for the rich and powerful mining interests and the banks that fund them

They allegedly enrich themselves by giving mining permits to companies

over ancestral lands which is forbidden by law It is at this level in the provinc-es where the anti-corruption campaign of President Aquino is weakest He has deposed a former president and a chief Justice but not yet the corrupt offi cials in Mindanao While the president is dedicated and honestly trying to clean up the stinking garbage of corrup-tion he cannot seemingly oust these entrenched offi cials the henchmen and women of powerful political families

They do not have allegiance to their department cabinet secretary or the president In fact they are ones who defy the president and are the hardest to get rid off The presidents politi-cal allies could be behind the corrupt practices that is opening the way for the illegal logging and issuance of mining permits They are pushing the president to override the provincial governments bans on open pit mining He must resist this pressure

Mining companies that get a permit to explore and mine also get a logging permit for the cutting the trees in the area alloted to them for mining This is totally destructive and is a way around the presidential ban on logging which goes on unabated Just drive through Mindanao and you will pass twenty or thirty huge trucks hauling cut logs I have seen them myself

For many years the Subaanen people and their supporters have stood peace-fully for their rights courageously and bravely to stop the local dynastic families and their cronies in the Inter-national mining industry from mining

their ancestral lands The Subaanen have been non-violent and trusted the democratic rule of law to save them

Their breakthrough cam in August 2011 when the Supreme Court of the Philippines granted a Writ of Ka-likasan (A protection of nature) to the people to protect the environment of the whole of the Zamboanga Peninsu-la A Writ of Kalikasan is a powerful legal remedy under Philippine law which provides for the protection ones right to a balanced and health-ful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature as provided for in Section 16 Article II of the Philippine Constitution It protects ones right for a healthy environment against damage of such magnitude that it threatens life health or property of inhabitants in two or more cities or provinces But the government of-fi cials are ignoring the Supreme Court order

Bishop Jiminez and three other bishops and an archbishop signed a letter to the London based sharehold-ers of the mining company RTZ-CRA trying to get the offi cials to stop the mining and logging wrote to the shareholders

In part he letter said ŠSince the company has the right to expatriate all the profi ts you the shareholders will probably earn some money However many of our people who own the lands where all the minerals are will become paupers Our rivers and seas

In travelling the countryside or while you are crossing the street driving your car taking the subway bedridden in the hospital or stuck in prison dont forget to say your Rosary every day Let the beads slip between your fi ngers they also slip between the fi n-gers of the Holy Father at the Vatican those of a grandmoth-er in Alaska a child on a hill in Rwanda a football player on a fi eld in Rio a Carthusian monk in his cell a Carmelite in her cloister or young evangelists on a mission

The Rosary is the certainly the prayer of the poor and the small the

sick and the suffering par excel-lence Yes always and everywhere not only in space but also in time The latitudes of the planet and longi-

tudes of history crisscross

The Hail Mary has moistened the lips of mil-lions of all ages races and nations How many chil-dren learned it as their fi rst prayer How many of the

dying whispered it as their ultimate testament The Hail Mary is a syn-thesis of two fi rst names Mary and Jesus

Father Daniel Ange

Never Forget to Say Your Rosary Everyday

Daily Meditation Listening With

Our Wounds To enter into solidarity with a suf-

fering person does not mean that we have to talk with that person about our own suffering Speaking about our own pain is seldom helpful for someone who is in pain A wounded healer is someone who can listen to a person in pain without having to speak about his or her own wounds When we have lived through a pain-ful depression we can listen with great attentiveness and love to a depressed friend without mentioning our experience Mostly it is better not to direct a suffering persons attention to ourselves We have to trust that our own bandaged wounds will allow us to listen to others with our whole beings That is healing

July 10 2012 Daily Meditation Text excerpts taken from Bread for the Journey by Henri JM Nouwen copy1997 HarperSanFrancisco All Scripture from The Jerusalem Bible copy1966 1967 and 1968 Darton Longman amp Todd and Doubleday amp Co Inc

Q How do you describe a luke-warm soul

A Jesus said lukewarm souls are souls who if He can only vomit out He will They are the souls He wanted to vomit out when He was in calvary Like in Geth-semane He said if it is only possible that He will not have to drink the cup He will not drink from it because these are the souls who are already in the light but decided to transfer to darkness That is why our Lord said what these souls are doing is the most hurting thing for Him

Q What makes Jesus happy

A What makes Jesus happy is if you can love your enemy Because how can you face God and beg for His mercy if you are not also merciful The truth is it is very diffi cult to love our enemy But there is a secret And the secret is fi rst of all we have to conquer our selves The truth is our num-ber one enemy is ourselves

because pride is in us hatred is in us all the negative are in us But if you are able to conquer your self if we are

able to defeat ourselves it means we do not have anymore pride no more hatred no more envy no more nega-tive and if all the negative are gone

it will be very easy to love your enemy

The truth is it is very easy to say ldquo I forgive yourdquo but it only comes from the mouth Deep inside the negatives are still in your heart and if it is not removed it will remain with you forever That is why you need to remove the negative You can only remove these if you love your enemy Because if you love your enemy ev-erytime you pray he is always included in your prayer and everytime you pray for your enemy slowly the thorn is be-ing removed and if the thorn is removed completely that will make Jesus very happy

To love an enemy means it is not necessary to like Just pray for him Do not say anything against him

a good chance that we will be able to extend this forward momentum as we anticipate better fi rst-half earnings from our listed fi rms The latest sovereign credit rating up-grade also provides additional support for future growth so overall I think we are in a terrifi c position to keep on im-provingrdquo PSE president Hans Sicat said in a press statement

Last July 5 the PSEi again beat its previous record high to post a fresh all-time high at 536998 As of July 6 the PSEi was the top performing market in Asia with a gain of 227 percent year-to-date beating bourses in Singapore Indonesia Malaysia Thailand Vietnam Hong Kong India and China among others

In the fi rst six months cyclical stocks banking and property led the PSEirsquos rise in the fi rst quarter albeit all indices were on the green

The fi nancial index emerged as the best performer in the fi rst half after surging by 346 percent to the 130442 level The fi nancial index was likewise the best performer in terms of bot-tomline based on fi rst-quarter earnings culled by the PSE

The next best performer was the property index which jumped by 301 percent to fi nish at 192748 in the fi rst half

The holding fi rms index rose by 281 percent to the 448880 level

Other indices performed as follows in the fi rst six months the industrial index rallied by 108 percent to fi nish at 783957 the services index climbed by 88 percent to 175902 -the mining and oil index crept higher by 48 percent to 2462948 points

ldquoJust like our main index investor confi dence in Philippines Inc is at an all-time high Whatrsquos remarkable is that we have been able to achieve unprec-edented growth even in the midst of ongoing uncertainties in the Western hemisphere and a cooling Chinese economy This is a testament to the effectiveness of the reforms that the country has undertaken which further contributed to the stable macroeconomic environmentrdquo Sicat said

The PSEirsquos fi nish in the fi rst six months was higher by 95520 points from its previous close of 429121 in the same period last year

The combined market capitalization of issues listed on the PSE during the January to June period stood at P1005 trillion up by 128 percent from a year ago

Total turnover for the fi rst half reached P94773 billion or 432 percent higher than the P66181 billion registered in the same period the previous year Average daily turnover stood at P764 billion an increase of 455 percent year-on-year

Skyscanner saidRussia got 17 percent and

10 percent for UKldquoRussians can be more direct when

talking which may be misconstrued as being ruderdquo said Tatiana Da-nilova Russian market manager for Skyscanner ldquoHowever this is more a difference in culture than genuine rudenessrdquo

Danilova attributed this to the Russian language which ldquois not as polite as Englishhelliprdquo

ldquoSo when Russians translate directly from Russian to English it can sound rude to an English speaker even if they donrsquot mean it tordquo Danilova ldquoRussians tend to consider British people extremely polite due to their courteous way of speakingrdquo

The least rude meanwhile are Brazilians followed by the Carib-bean islands and the Filipinos

Pacifi c Islander communityldquoAfter being a mentee for many years

I once asked my mentor how I could repay him for his kindness He told me to help 100 other people and my debt would be repaid in full Irsquod like to help at least a million people It is great to be recognized by your peers but I feel I should be recognizing the commu-nity for their steadfast and unwavering support for me and my colleagues at IW Grouprdquo said Bill Imada Chairman amp CEO IW Group Inc - Philanthropy Leadership honoree

In spite of the challenging fundraising environment APCF was successful at raising more than $150000 that was dis-tributed among its 29 Affi liate Agencies which provide health and human ser-vices to Asian and Pacifi c Islander (API) and other ethnic communities in need throughout Los Angeles County The mission of APCF is to build healthier and stronger API communities working with its affi liates corporate and commu-nity partners and individuals to generate resources for this often overlooked and under-served population

In addition special grant presentations were made by Verizon and Walmart totaling $100000 For the second year Verizon is funding APCFrsquos scholarship program for students pursuing higher education in the science technology engineering and math related fi elds In a time when students are faced with signifi cantly rising costs of obtaining a college degree it is important that there is support for these students in the Asian and Pacifi c Islander communities A total of $25000 in scholarship awards will be given out in 2012

ldquoVerizonrsquos partnership with the Asian Pacifi c Community Fund is creating op-portunities for young people to succeed and pursue their dreams here in Califor-nia and across the countryrdquo said Gene

Shooting StarPoem No 9

I wish I was a shooting star streaking through the night sky

Being here and there in brief fl ash of light

And really nowhere to be found

Me in your life being caught in your universe

Running around in circles ever nearing your space

Seeking the face by which I am doomed to certain death

Like a fl ash like a bang I am nowhere to be found

Me in your life caught in your universe streaking aimlessly

towards destruction envying the celestial dance between Moon

and Sun Sun and earth earth and heaven seeking freedom

from my desolated journey in you I found destruction through

my destruction I found my freedom

copy 2009 Michael R Tagudin

Ordinario created the only Navy dosimetry program that manages multiple afl oat and ashore command programs from one location and the fi rst overseas dosimetry hub for Department of Defense personnel in Japan The program monitored personnel for external radiation exposure while working in support of Operation Tomadachi

Ordinario said ldquoLooking at the big

Ordinario was aided by a team of radiation health staff which included deployed technicians deployed from stateside commands to support Op-eration Tomadachi ldquoThe augmented staff from different Navy Medicine Commands was vital part of being able to carry out our missionrdquo said Ordinario ldquoBeing recognized for the efforts the radiation health team did during Operation Tomadachi

The Capt Ernest W Brown award established in 1986 is presented in memory of the late Capt Ernest ldquoEWrdquo Brown and recognizes an individual for excellence in Navy Occupational Health Preventive Medicine andor Health Promo-tion programs at the activity level Brown was a renowned researcher in the fi eld of biochemical warfare submarine medicine and occupa-tional medicine In 1941 he suc-cessfully implemented the ambitious industrial hygiene and forerunner of our Navy program today -- Re-printed from Seahawk Umitaka (submitted by Daughlet Ordinario of San Diego CA)

Seaoil karter Gabriel Cabrera along with fellow Filipino Flynn Jackes fi nally ended the half a decade title drought for the Philippines in the Mini-ROK class of the Asian Karting Open Championshipsrsquo opening leg at the Kartodromo de Coloane in Macau The 5-leg international race series is regarded as the most prestigious karting tilt in Asia

Racing abroad for the fi rst time 12 year old Cabrera topped the time trials at 103674 despite the absence of a coach and with only his chief mechanic Joesefi lo Bariquit in tow

The Philippines enjoyed a momentous 1-2-3 moment at the time trials with Cabrera grabbing pole position followed by Xedrei Daquigan in second and Flynn Jackes in third

Enduring an abdomen injury incurred from a crash during the fi nals warm-up Cabrera nevertheless decided to continue to race in the fi nals Surging to 2nd place from 5th in the fi nal grid the excruciating pain however led Cabrera to slip to 4th place by the end of the race

Although bowing to Jackes for the top spot Cabrerarsquos admirable show of resilience and perseverance endeared him to fans and foes alike who knew of his injury In true AKOC camaraderie Cabrera even found an unlikely ally in Taiwanese rival Lin Tsen Han who along with his crew immediately as-

sisted Cabrera as he fi nally collapsed in pain at the weigh-in area

ldquoThere is no such thing as a broken spirit only broken bones But not even that can stop a Filipino karterrsquos will to winrdquo says Cabrera as he was whisked off to the Kiang Wu Hospital to receive emergency medical treatment

He eventually was stable enough to return to the track a few hours later in time to receive his 3rd runner-up trophy at the awarding ceremonies Cabrera is the son of Los Angeles-based business-man Richard Cabrera and is slated to compete in the seriesrsquo second leg later this month in Manila

Cabrera Win Hearts In Asian Karting

Chief mechanic Joesefi le Bariquit and Gabriel Cabrera with kart-ing trophy at the Asian Karting Open Championship during opening leg in Macau China

by Steven Buller KIvaorgAccording to a recent article in Ma-

laya Business Insight a Filipino news-paper there were 9050 bank facilities operating in the Philippines at the end of 2011 At the same time there were 15600 pawnshops and 9500 licensed

money changers that were licensed to provide fi nancial services such as remittance transactions and bill pay-ments

The Philippines are fragmented by nature The country has 7000 islands 2000 of which are inhabited Since most banks are in urban areas reaching clients on the smaller remote islands can be extremely diffi cult and costly In a country where the savings rate is abysmal many people depend on credit for everyday expenses Non-bank facilities like pawnshops which are regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (or BSP the Philippines central bank) fi ll this gap

The BSP is currently considering allowing convenience stores or ldquosari-sari shopsrdquo to become banking agents as well They would be allowed to offer a variety of services including handling remittance transactions As nearly one out of 10 Filipinos lives and works abroad remittance transactions represent a huge portion of demand for fi nancial services In fact the Philip-

pines is one of the top fi ve recipients of remittances globally receiving about USD$19 billion annually

While this informal part of the banking sector certainly promotes fi nancial inclusion the BSP has made efforts to formalize the industry In 2010 it passed an amendment to certain banking regulations allowing for banks to establish microbanking offi ces (ldquoMBOsrdquo) MBOs are much smaller and cheaper to set up than bank branches They also offer a wider range of services that are important to Filipinos including microinsurance electronic money transfers social secu-rity payouts and savings products

Philippine Star | Manila Philippines 792012 - The province of Bohol is out to reclaim its post as the top tourist destination in the country

This is the newfound vision of the government of Bohol which recently launched its newest tourism campaign mdash dubbed ldquoBohol Heart of the Islands Truly Philippinesrdquo mdash in partnership with Philippine Bohol Arts Foundation Institute (PABFI) and the provincersquos tourism stakeholders

Aimed at immensely boosting local and foreign tourist arrivals and making the province the countryrsquos preferred travel desti-nation the campaign showcases Boholrsquos rich cultural and historical heritage highlighting its rich eco-cultural value beyond the Chocolate Hills and the diminutive tarsiers the worldrsquos smallest primate

ldquoOther than the usual sites that are being promoted here the Loboc River the Chocolate Hills the tarsi-ers and the white sand beaches of Panglao there is more to discover in Bohol that will make a greater tourism impact not only for the province but also in relation to the Philippine context of promoting the countryrdquo said Bohol Governor Edgar Migrintildeo Chatto

The event held at the Centennial Hall in Manila Hotel gathered key public offi cials and tourism leaders

More Fun in the Philippines Bohol rolls out new tourism campaignincluding Manila Hotel president and former senator Joey Lina Philippine Tour Operators As-sociation (PHILTOA) president Cesar Cruz and Tourism Secre-tary Ramon Jimenez Jr

Others who graced the event were prominent travel program personalities Susan Calo Medina and Cory Quirino PBAFI execu-tive director Ria Cauton Tigum Bol-anon Tibuok Kalibutan (TBTK) president Betty Garcia Bohol Provincial Council chair Lucas Nunag board members of the province of Bohol and Amor Maclang director for PR and Communications of GeiserMa-

Bohol Governor Edgar Chatto and De-partment of Tourism Secretary Ramon Jime-nez shake hands during the unveiling of the Bohol campaign Bohol Heart of the Islands Truly Philippines

clang Marketing Communications Inc (GMCI) who later presented the marketing framework of the campaign

Located in Central Visayas Bohol literally sits in the heart of the Philippine archi-pelago Boasting diving sites revered as among the best worldwide the province is home to a number of natural wonders such as mdash aside from the Chocolate Hills mdash the biggest mangrove planta-tion in Asia and the Dajanon Bank the lone double-barrier reef in the region and one of

only six such marine structures in the world

Chocolate Hills do turn green during the rainy season

Apart from its diverse marine and terrestrial life and picturesque land-scapes a unique element that makes Bohol a truly quintessential Filipino destination is the great display of the remarkable and lively dynam-ics between the Filipinosrsquo inherent animistic and Catholic cultures

ldquoBohol and its people have a cer-tain respect and appreciation for her-itage and traditionrdquo Chatto shared ldquoThis is why we have come up with this campaign to highlight the capti-vating charm that Bohol exudes and the heartwarming hospitality offered by Boholanos themselvesrdquo

One of the things that Bohol would like to promote and enrich through its new tourism campaign is the element of nationalistic pride ldquoBy showing everyone how Boholanos have preserved practices and beliefs that other Filipinos have already

seemed to forget we are also able to emphasize the value of cherishing their heritagerdquo PBAFI executive Ria Cauton noted ldquoIn an age when our culture are soaked in various colonial ideas and infl uences thatrsquos really something that has become rarerdquo

Boholrsquos colorful history can be seen all over the prov-ince mdash especially when one looks upon its well-preserved Hispanic structures scattered

all over like the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in

Dauis which attracts thousands of devout Catholics every year and the Church of Our Lady of the Immacu-late Conception in Baclayon which is touted as Asiarsquos best-preserved Jesuit church

In addition other reasons that permit the province to say ldquoYou canrsquot say yoursquove been to the Philip-pines and truly experienced Filipino culture without having gone to Bo-holrdquo are its rich and distinct culinary offerings vibrant nightlife thriving art scene and ancestral craft-making practices All of these underscore the fact that indeed one of Boholrsquos main assets is its hospitable con-stantly jovial and honest people

ldquoYou donrsquot have to be from Bohol to love Boholrdquo revealed Secretary Jimenez ldquoItrsquos simply being part of a rich cultural experience that makes a visit to Bohol unforgettable The Loboc Childrenrsquos Choir for ex-ample has become a symbolic icon of the province precisely because as an American friend who heard them once said lsquoYou cannot sing the way they do if you are not happyrsquordquo

Take a fl oating lunch cruise along the Lob-oc River in Bohol

Corella is another inland town some 10 km north of Tagbilaran Bohol In Corella you can visit the Tarsier Sanctuary where tarsiers are observed protected and are freely living on its natural habitat

Just like in any part of the world a certain place will always have a spe-cifi c food that will be considered as its ldquospecialtyrdquo In Bohol Philippines there are also a lot of foods that tour-ists must try These Bohol foods are highly recommended that one must not leave Bohol without eating such foods otherwise their stay would not be very memorable

The Bohol food that tourists must try if they are by the Alona Beach is seafood The most recommended one is prawns Oftentimes this type of Bohol food is grilled One of the restaurants in Bohol that offer seafood is JASZ Restaurant This is a recommended restaurant because prices are affordable Other Bohol restaurants by the Alona Beach that offer seafood are the Panglao Beach Resort Restaurant Trudi and The Pyramid

Those who are not much into seafood may try dining at another Bohol restaurant called the Loboc River Cruise Lunch Recommended Bohol foods offered here include omelette grilled vegetables pork and chicken barbeque Seafood lov-ers are also suggested to visit this place as it serves superb seafood like lapu-lapu fi sh calamari and tigerprawns Tourists are suggested to have desert such as fresh fruits The prices of the Bohol foods at the Loboc River Cruise Lunch are quite expensive However nothing beats the taste of its foods as everything is just so delicious

If tourists want a Western-themed restaurant they must try out the Gar-den Cafeacute ndash American that is located in Tagbilaran City Placing orders at this restaurant is quite different from the usual restaurants that we go to One has to write down the orders and hand it over to the waitress This

THE METAMORPHOSISby Ernie D Delfi n America just turned 236 years

old In its over two centuries his-tory America has gone through the fi re that made it strong and stable Through countless trials during her lifetime such as the Civil War two World Wars many foreign wars like the Vietnam War and Iraqi War and civil unrests to name a few many American lives have been sacrifi ced to fi ght for what she believes in The last several years economic depressions or recessions that impoverished millions of people have become top issues in the country that have energized Amer-icans to debate intensely what is the right course for their country to pursue to better serve the well-being of her citizens and to bring back the luster and glory of America Due to national concerns on many is-sues like health care housing and global concerns on trade peace and foreign aid against the backdrop of an emerging superpower China Americarsquos national priorities and foreign policies will see a shift that will cause radical changes in this na-tion This election year will be an-other defi ning moment for America to steer Americansrsquo desire for their government to do to preserve its sta-tus as a superpower and envy of the world Despite its socio-economic problems and several foreign policy blunders that caused a signifi cant decline in Americarsquos infl uence in the world the last decade or so Ameri-cans are still a very lucky people as we are still guaranteed justice liberty and the pursuit of our own happiness that more than half of the earthrsquos population can just dream about

With that as a background I am quite grateful and fulfi lled this Independence Day 2012 as I also celebrated another birthday on July 5th (Philippine time) which is July 4th in America As 4th of July is a major holidays in the United States it has always been an opportune time for me to review my life and refl ect upon lifersquos meaning during this holiday amidst the elaborate fi re-works that surround the city where we live Having lived for over six decades now on this planet 60 of which in the American soil I can-not ask for more as I feel that I have had a ldquogood liferdquo on this earth with people I love and who love me too

The last 365 days since my last birthday were replete with surprises

events experiences and personal episodes that made me quite grateful that I am still alive and happy Like America as a person grows older (and wiser) his priorities change but his core values that serve as his compass remains constant That inexplicable feeling of joy and happiness as well as pains and suf-ferings often come to our lives as certain as the sunrise in the morning and sunset in the evening The past year has caused in me a good mix of human emotions happy sad scared regretful (for many things I have done or not done) hopeful and grateful that I am still alive and kicking today Less than a year ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and to the best of my memory I am the fi rst in my family to be stricken with that dreadful ldquoCrdquo ailment Such unexpected diagnosis from my annual medical exams has caused a very high degree of anxiety and ldquopains and sufferingrdquo within me and my family However I discovered solace and strength in my new found spiritual journey accepting that our Lord not us is in control of our lives and has admonished His people to ldquoBe not afraidrdquo Surprisingly I learned that His ldquoBe-not-afraid- advicerdquo appeared in the Bible 365 times

Thanks to my God the greatest Healer months after my surgery early this year my doctor told me that I am now a cancer survivor as my PSA level is now at negligible level He told me that he doesnrsquot want to see me more than twice a year now

Amidst that scary episode how-ever I also enjoyed many things during the past year like our month long adventure to Vienna Rome London and Paris with my one and only wife of over 30 years as our second honeymoon (many will be smiling or LOL with that bold disclosure) Another inventory of joyful accomplishments included the successful chartering of the Global Kalinga e-Rotary Club fi rst e- Club in Rotary District 3780 (and the second one in the entire Philip-pines) that I initiated and founded last year with 40 charter members who live in 6 countries that is expected to double by our fi rst An-niversary date in Oct 2012

This e-Rotary Club is like an infant that remains so tender and fragile that it needed a lot of patience and nourishment to grow But like lov-ing parents many of our committed

Independence Day 2012 and Birthday Refl ections

members are matured and patient enough to nurture this e-Rotary baby to develop it to become an Olym-pian athlete to compete in the near future Our GKeRotary Club has now members from many nationalities like Caucasians Hispanics Blacks Canadians Nigerians and Filipinos (from Luzon to Mindanao) who reside in as many 6 countries today As we grow in number with closer camaraderie among us doing many meaningful ldquoService Above Selfrdquo humanitarian proj-ects in the Philippines as well as in the city where we live we will have more FUN in this borderless e-Rotary Club than the traditional Rotary Club that meets weekly

Adhering to the ldquoSecretsrdquo in achieving a fulfi lled life by con-scious efforts (until they become unconscious efforts) to ldquobalanc-ing your Liferdquo into its essential quadrants PHYSICAL (to live) MENTAL (to learn) SOCIAL (to love) and SPIRITUAL (to leave a legacy) I have consciously put more time in one area that matters most (once you are over 60 like me) the ldquoleaving a legacyrdquo quadrant Itrsquos a fact of life that when you become a senior citizen you can no longer do many things nor eat many foods that you enjoyed when you were one and twenty when you were in high school or college so you simply adjust to your new reality Each morning that you wake up and able to walk and see the sunrise hear the chirping of birds smell the aroma of freshly brewed Healthy Coffee itrsquos always a small miracle and you thank the One Who gave you life Having accepted my own mortality that one day I will also meet my Maker I have replaced a good por-tion of ldquobusinessrdquo hours into vol-unteerism or ldquoService Above Selfrdquo hours in my church and several NGOs like the Rotary Interna-tional that truly render humanitarian works to others

Also for about fi ve years now I have been attending a weekly morn-ing Bible Study that has contributed greatly in the balancing of my life that is very hard to do in a materi-alistic society like the USA The word BIBLE has been creatively defi ned to mean ldquoB asic L essons B efore L eaving E arthrdquo and in so many ways it lsquos true All of us homo sapiens undergo that human journey like the biblical ldquoprodigal sonrdquo who must leave the family home goes away (to experience new things both good and bad) and hopefully comes back home (to his Father) as he must undergo some profound changes (for his own salvation) Life without any kind of metamorphosis the caterpillar would never become a beautiful and colorful butterfl y So does a person must undergo many phases of his transformation to enjoy his journey on this earth before he goes into that blissful state that many call Heaven or Paradise

Additionally last year I also fi nished by certifi cation classes and has been ldquocertifi edrdquo by the Diocese of Orange and the Orange County Sheriff to wear a white badge as a ldquoRestorative Justice Ministerrdquo aka ldquoPrison Detention Ministerrdquo where we visit and minister to the inmates in the Orange County Jails every week for Bible Study andor Catholic Com-munion Services every week

Meeting these ldquoinmatesrdquo (thatrsquos what they are called in County Jails in state or federal prison the incarcerated are called ldquoprisonersrdquo) and listening to them and ministering to their ldquospiritualrdquo needs on a weekly basis have an-nihilated many myths and miscon-ceptions that I used to hold ldquoagainstrdquo them Due to some educational and cultural biases I used to believe that all those in prison deserved to be there as they are ldquobadrdquo criminals but slowly I have softened that stand I now believe that although these in-mates are incarcerated they are still human beings also who still possess their human dignity as children of the same God Many martyrs and saints of the church like St John the Baptist and St Paul were also in prison The prison system is a part of the human society since biblical times and its worsening conditions in many areas are a sad refl ection of all of us en of the same God Many martyrs and our lives and He has admonished His people to ldquo

Punishments and Restorative

Justice are two schools of thoughts that are being administered in many prisons today The Catholic and many Christian churches advo-

cate that more must be done in the rehabilitation or in the Restorative Justice of inmates or prisoners in the Justice System to give back their human dignity even when they are incarcerated

Being a Prison Detention Minister and just listening and observing these inmates during our Catholic Communion Services that we do for them is another human experience

that can potentially convert a sinner like me into a better human being For instance I got an unexpected education from one woman inmate

when she declared ldquoI am now very happy that I was arrested for what I did I consider my arrest as my own rescue from a certain deathrdquo What a paradigm shift Now I can understand why there are many spiritual conversions that occur in prison because God does not leave a person wherever he is because He is everywhere

To any practicing Catholic (or any religion for that matter)

out there I highly recommend that he or she tries to see if becoming a Prison Detention or Restorative Jus-tice Minister is right for him or her It is a wonderful experience There is a great need for more dedicated and willing volunteers to minister to the spiritual needs of this growing prison population in America today

The foregoing column is a very sobering personal refl ection on

this 4th of July weekend that I am boldly sharing to all readers and my friends with a ray of hope that some may also be inspired to be an-other ldquoLamp in the City on the Hillrdquo for others to see the inexplicable wonders of God as He has mysteri-ously converted Saul the Christian persecutor into St Paul to become a great and fearless evangelist of our Christian faith

the maintenance of peace and stability respect for interna-tional law and unimpeded lawful commerce in the South China Seardquo

Clinton welcomed the meeting saying a slew of joint initiatives including disaster relief forestry policy and disease control were ldquoan important signal that the US and China not only can but will work together in Asiardquo

No threats and intimidationClinton also urged claimant

countries not to resort to threats and intimidation an indirect reference to China

ldquoWe believe the nations of the region should work collabora-tively and diplomatically to resolve disputes without coercion without intimidation without threats and without use of forcerdquo Clinton said

ldquoIssues such as freedom of navi-gation and lawful exploitation of maritime resources often involve a wide region and approaching them strictly bilaterally could be a recipe for confusion and even confronta-tionrdquo Clinton added

The US said stability is its concern in the waterway which carries $5 trillion in ship-borne trade account-ing for half the worldrsquos shipping tonnage

ldquoThe United States is going to be very clear in our determination to see progress on the code of conduct between those negotiations that are taking place between China and ASEANrdquo a senior US State Depart-ment offi cial told reporters earlier this week

Clearly outline positionClinton likewise urged ASEAN na-

tions ldquoto clearly outline its position on the Scarborough Shoalrdquo and ldquoto complete a regional code of conduct in a timely fashionrdquo

She warned about serious prob-lems to the regional bloc if ASEAN fails to address the challenge

ldquoWhat might be a challenge today for some of ASEANrsquos members if left unaddressed by all of ASEAN could lead tomorrow to issues that may become problems for other ASEAN membersrdquo she said

Clinton said the US ldquolooks to ASEAN and claimant states to provide leadership in this issue and recognizes the important role of the ASEAN chairman to fi nd consensus and advance a common ASEAN positionrdquo

ldquoASEAN needs to meet its own goals and standards and be able to speak with one voice on issues fac-ing the regionrdquo Clinton said

ASEANrsquos 10 members announced earlier this week that they have drafted a set of rules governing maritime rights and navigation and procedures for when governments disagree But China is not a member of the group and hasnrsquot agreed to anything

The ASEAN countries are present-

ing their proposal to China at this weekrsquos conference in Cambodiarsquos capital though Beijing will probably want to water down any language that ties its hands

For the US the diffi cult diplomacy ahead could be a major test of the Obama administrationrsquos efforts to ldquopivotrdquo American power toward the worldrsquos most populous continent Just speaking out on the subject already has helped the US deepen ties with Vietnam and relations are warming with other governments in the region

But countless meetings between American and Chinese offi cials have not led to progress on a lasting solution

Various longstanding disputes among China the Philippines Viet-nam Taiwan Malaysia and Brunei involve the arearsquos busy sea-lanes and many observers fear the compli-cated web of disputes could spark a violent confl ict

The standoff between China and the Philippines in Panatag (Scarbor-ough) Shoal began in April when the Philippines accused Chinese fi sher-men of poaching in its exclusive economic zone including the shoal During the tensions both sides sent government ships to the area though both have since withdrawn vessels

Vietnam has protested a recent an-nouncement by the China National Offshore Oil Corp opening nine oil and gas lots for international bidders in areas overlapping with existing Vietnamese exploration blocks Viet-nam says the lots lie entirely within its 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone and continental shelf

When conditions are ripeWith the ASEAN set to start

negotiations with China on a code of conduct Beijing said it is willing to work with member countries ldquowhen the conditions are riperdquo

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokes-person Liu Weimin said in a press conference in Beijing Monday that the code of conduct is not for the resolution of disputes in the West Philippine Sea

ldquoI would like to emphasize that the code of conduct aims not at resolv-ing the South China Sea disputes but boosting mutual trust and coopera-tion between the parties concerned in a joint bid to maintain peace and stability in the South China Seardquo Liu said

Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario for his part told the ASEAN meeting that ldquothe adher-ence of all countries in the region to a set of fair and transparent rules as embodied in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea will generate greater mutual trust and respect in the regionrdquo ndash AP Pia Lee-Brago

survive one must have a job but for one to prosper one must engage in business

For this I am not worried about my daughter She will never be unemployed a victim of closing or streamlining companies She has her own business with no overheads and she is in a higher notch than when she started and contin-ues to spiral up in her virtual store

Of course this is not for everyone This is not for the comfortable not for those who do not blaze trails not for the non-dreamers defi nitely not for those who choose to be with the ninety-fi ve percent of society who choose to be ordinary

Only fi ve percent of society dares to swim against the tides These are the likes of Steve Jobs Donald Trump Bill Gates and others like those who became millionaires in Amway

Knowing my daughter and if I am not mistaken I predict that she will persevere and succeed She is guided by the Scriptures and books written by those who have made it She is so disci-plined that she does not even watch TV She says Jessica Sanchez and Manny Pacquaio will not help her become fi -nancially free They could entertain you but when you go back to reality you are still in whatever state you are

AS THE BAMBOOS SWAY By Rudy D Liporada

A couple from church introduced Am-way to me in 1987 They showed a plan telling me that I could be a millionaire in two to fi ve years if I buy from my own store ndash soaps (both laundry and body) beauty products vitamins and many more ndash and share the dream with others

I did not care I just landed in America just two weeks before I came to Amer-ica to work in pursuit of my own kind of dream Besides even if I wanted to I did not have $8000 then to register plus I did not have lsquoothersrsquo to share dreams with

Fast forward to late 2010 My only daughter and youngest of my children then 18 gets wind of Amway She asks for $16700 so she could register to be-come what Amway calls an Independent Business Owner Although reluctant I shelled out the money After all it was not for drugs or something like that Then she tells us among others to buy from her store what we would be buying from other stores anyway Why make the other stores profi t when we should be patronizing her store The prices were competitive She changed our soaps toothpastes her momrsquos make-up kit drinks vitamins etc I did not really care To me shaving cream is shaving

cream laundry soap is laundry soap My daughter is happy I am happy

What I did not really know was she was growing her market She had others join her in her dream

In late 2010 she had to attend an Amway convention in Portland Oregon with her dozen team members ndash no one was over 21 years old They were going on a long drive for eighteen hours They needed two vans but no rent-a-car would allow them to rent the vehicles Grudg-ingly I acceded to her request that I and her mom rent one each of those vans and might as well join them ndash might as well be in the convention

And so we were there In front of ten thousand participants

couple after couple testifi ed how they realized their dream sharing Amway products They were former waitresses accountants doctors construction workers Navy Seals etc On gargantuan screens they fl aunted their villas jets yachts high end cars and their pleasure trips around the world They said that through patience and hard work for two to fi ve years they sailed to becoming millionaires ndash now waking up whenever they want and being full time moms and dads

I believed them If only one of them would be lying in front of ten thousand people the institution Amway would crumble down

Then I was angry There was this guy same as my age was a teacher like me He was on the stage as a millionaire and I was down there listening to him and I have nothing to show He got into Amway in the middle 90rsquos Deng It was introduced to me in 1987

I started reading their brochures and catalogs I came to the conclusion that mathematically you could really get rich doing this thing All you needed is the belief the emotional quotient strive patience and most of all your dreams

Nonetheless beyond the business be-yond the products beyond the dreams I treasure most what Amway has done to my daughter Instead of continuing to party like most of her peers she is reading the Bible upon waking up and follows this up with management and business related books She is in power business cloths instead of showing her belly buttons Most important before Amway she fi ghts with her mom Now they are the best of friends

So I tell my friends and acquaintances about Amway and its products Most of them because the company has been there for over 50 years have heard of it have been into it and have notions about it This is because Amway is the mother of networking and Amway stands for the American Way

Most of them too after I show or reshow them the product benefi ts and the principle of buying from your own store go back to Amway if they have been there before The main thing is all of them agree to the greatness of the products and appreciate the evolved and developed marketing system of the com-pany ndash for those in the know one does not have to horde products anymore to sell everything now is done on-line And if you are not computer suave one in the organization will do it for you because you at least know how to use your cell phone or you can directly call in the orders

Robert T Kiyosaki in his book Rich Dad Poor Dad says that in order for one to be fi nancially free one must have a business He means for one to only

Avoid immorality Every other sin a person commits is outside the body but the immoral person sins against his own body Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you whom you have from God and that you are not your own For you have been purchased at a price Therefore glo-rify God in your body (1Cor 618-20) I urge you therefore brothers by the mercies of God to offer your bodies as a living sacrifi ce holy and pleasing to God your spiritual worshipDo not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind that you may discern what is the will of God what is good and pleasing and perfect (Rom 121-2)

Words to Live By

Sa Aking Buhay (7)Sa aking buhay malimit akong maging atubili lalo na sa ikatatahimik nitong aking budhimay takot at pag-aalala aking mga sandalituloy magagandang bagay nakalampas ng madali

Sa aking buhay iniwasang pilit ang magkamali ang anuman gagawin korsquoy pag-iisipan ng mulikahit magdamagan pa ang gagawaing pagsusurisulit ang lahat bastarsquot walang mararamdamang hapdi

Sa aking buhay napagtanto ko ng tunay na tunayna kailanpaman ay walang lugar ang kasamaandahil kung mali din lamang ang tunay mong dahilanay talagang walang maganda itong kahihinatnan

Sa aking buhay natuklasan kong lsquodi lahat ng oras na dahil sa ang pakiramdam mo ngayon ay masarapay nakakasiguro kang magiging ayos ang lahatkasi hindi palaging ganoon ang nagiging wakas

Sa aking buhay ay aking napagwari ng taimtimna sa lsquoyong buhay ano nga ba ang tunay mong layunindahil sa kung ito ay lihis sa dakilang gawainang katotohanarsquoy wala ka talagang mararating

Ngayon kung maitatanong ko naman----- sa buhay mo

Joke of the Week Bill had a good friend who was a minister of long years standing They used to josh one another occasionally ldquoYou reverend think yoursquore so hotrdquo said Bill one day ldquoAfter all yoursquore only about 50 percent effective About half of the babies you baptize donrsquot stay Christians about half of the adults you convert donrsquot stay con-verted and about half the people you marry donrsquot stay marriedrdquo ldquoWersquore 100 percent on one pointrdquo answered his minister friend ldquoIf I were a bet-ting man Irsquod give you 1000 to1odds that all the people we bury stay buriedrdquo

Scriptures First Reading Jer-emiah 23 1-6 In Jeremiahrsquos time the people of the northern kingdom of Israel had been exiled to Assyria and the Israelites in the southern kingdom of Judah had been deported to Babylon There were lots of dev-astated lives and broken hearts The kings and leaders did not live up as true shepherds The prophet speaks of hope out of this dismal condi-tion God will raise a new shepherd who will rule with righteousness and unite Israel and Judah Sec-ond Reading Ephesians 2 13-18 Through Christ all religious barriers between Hebrews and non-Hebrews or Gentiles are now demolished Through Christrsquos redemptive work of salvation and reconciliation those who are ldquofar offrdquo and ldquonearrdquo are now brought together All have access to the Father with the Spirit

Gospel Mark 6 30-34 In the fi rst reading God renews the promise he made to his people 1) to bless hu-manity by bringing it back to a land where it can bear fruit abundantly

(an allusion to Genesis) 2) to raise a new king who shall rule his people justly and rightly (a promise made to Abraham and David) Christian view the blessing at creation story of Gen-esis and the promise of a new leader are both fulfi lled in Jesus Christ

Refl ections The Hebrew word for shepherd does not only mean a king and ruler it also connotes the notion of feeding defending caring

and providing Jeremiah denounced the shepherds of his time who cared for themselves alone and not for the fl ock that were entrusted to them From the Christian point of view Jesus Christ is the shepherd who restores hope to new Israel In turn Jesus wants his apostles to continue his shepherding mission

Reginald Fuller commented that in this Marcan passage the term ldquoapostlesrdquo was not originally a title but a function Jeremiah condemned Zedekiah and the last kings of Judah as shepherds who have misled the people These corrupt shepherds paid more attention to their own selfi sh vested interests than those of the fl ock The Marcan passage is implying that the apostles should

avoid committing the same serious mistake In Matthew 23 6-7 Jesus told his disciples ldquoThey (Scribes and Pharisees) love places of honor at banquets seats of honor in syna-gogues greetings in marketplaces and the salutation lsquoRabbirsquordquo The apostles are told not to put more emphasis on title such as ldquoapostlerdquo and less on responsibilities that come with it Instead they should put more weight on their duties and responsibilities Titles such as ldquodoctor teachers bishop reverend engineer lawyerrdquo denote functions and responsibilities But when a title gains more prominence than the re-sponsibilities that come with it title divides rather than unites people

PSYCHOLOGISTS HAVE PROPOSED THE FASCINATING CONCEPT OF THE DYAD (Greek dyacuteo ldquotwordquo) or bi-polar archetype Common functionaries such as doc-torpatient lawyerclient ministerparishioner and parents children are some archetypal roles Many of these roles are essentially linked to a partnering archetype hence the term dyad archetype To stress the supe-rior pole of the archetype doctor lawyer minister and parents over the other pole patient client parish-ioner and children breaks the dyad and negatively impacts both poles For instance a doctor who fails to recognize that there is a ldquophysi-cianrdquo in his patient breaks down the therapeutic relationship between him and his patient The same is true with a teacher who fails to see that he too is a ldquostudentrdquo who can learn from his students Ministers who forget that they too are in need of salvation treat their parishioners as inferiors Parents become domineer-ing and overbearing when they fail to learn from their children On the other hand the dyad is also broken when the inferior pole is emphasized over the superior pole When both poles recognize each otherrsquos strength and draw energies to enhance each otherrsquos well being there is true heal-ing learning ministering parenting and spirituality

We read in todayrsquos Gospel that Jesus invited his apostles to take a break from their tiresome activities Likewise we seek scenic vistas sun-ny beaches quiet and private places

to relax and unwind Leonardo da Vinci wrote ldquoEvery now and then go away have a little relaxation for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose power of judgment hellip Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be take in at a glance and lack of harmony or proportion is more readily seenrdquo Jesus mindful of his apostlesrsquo need for a breather after a hectic mission asked them to rest a while It was a rest aimed at energizing the apostles with the divine presence that would enable them to be more effective in their mission Onersquos summer vacation can also be an occasion to recharge our spiritual battery

ldquoNot without design does God write the music of our lives Be it ours to learn the time and not be discouraged at the rests If we say sadly to ourselves lsquoThere is no music in a restrsquo let us not forget there is the making of music in it The making of music is often a slow and painful process in this life How patiently God works to teach us How long He waits for us to learn the lessonrdquo (John Ruskin)

Quotation of the Week ldquoIf you keep a bow always bent it will break eventually but if you let it go slack it will be fi t for use when you want itrdquo Aesop

Spirituality in Dyadic Relationship

Spiritual Courage

Courage is connected with taking

risks Jumping the Grand Can-yon on a motorbike coming over Niagara Falls in a barrel or crossing the ocean in a rowboat are called courageous acts because people risk their lives by doing these things But none of these daredevil acts comes from the centre of our being They all come from the desire to test our physical limits and to become famous and popular

Spiritual courage is something completely different It is following the deepest desires of our hearts at the risk of losing fame and popular-ity It asks of us the willingness to lose our temporal lives in order to gain eternal life

Cayabyab lauds ABS-CBN Philharmonic

OrchestraABS CBN News | MANILA Phil-

ippines -- Acclaimed composer Ryan Cayabyab lauded the newly formed ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra which will make its fi rst major public debut at the ldquoIcons at the Arenardquo con-cert at the SM Mall of Asia Arena

Rehearsing this afternoon was a breeze The rare event on Saturday combines only the best Filipino art-ists together in the concert with the best musicians of the ABS-CBN Phil-harmonic What more can I ask for as musical director Ang ganda at ang sarap ng tugtuganrdquo said Cayabyab who is the musical director of

the all-star OPM concertCayabyab who composed OPM

classics such as Kay Ganda ng Ating Musika called the orchestra the newest most exciting addition to the top artists of the Kapamilya Network

He praised the orchestra members as arguably the best crossover musi-cians of the country who can perform all types and genres of music led by

a formidable music director Gerard Salonga

Early this year ABS-CBN and First Philippine Holdings Inc joined hands to promote an advocacy for Filipinos to connect and experience ldquorealrdquo and ldquogoodrdquo music Thus the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra was created to defy the notion that a full orches-tra is only limited to classical music

The 40-piece musical ensemble is also a fi rst in the history of ABS-CBN

ABS-CBN chairman Eugenio ldquoGabbyrdquo Lopez III stressed that the orchestra aims to provide music of the highest caliber to the general audience

ABS-CBN president Charo Santos-Concio on the other hand expressed her full support for the orchestra

and her optimism that this will be a signifi cant platform to celebrate the character and soul of Filipino music

According to ABS-CBN Philhar-monic Orchestrarsquos executive director Mickey Muntildeoz the orchestra shall also service the performance and music needs of ABS-CBN such as concerts as well as the musical scor-ing for movies

Muntildeoz also revealed that a youth orchestra is also being formed to train indigent but talented young Pinoys to play musical instruments

(In the last chapter PMA cadet Julius Madrigal buys a bible as New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Carlo entered his room from his bath He donned on a t-shirt from his strewn clothes which he would have to pack the following day Over the shirt he pulled over a lengthwise striped sweater which made him appear taller than his five foot and a half frame He then went to the mirror and combed his still damp straight hair parting it on its left side He smiled checking his well set teeth He felt clean

Cleanliness is next to Godliness Monday after the New

Year he would be back to nearer Godliness His two weeks vacation would be over He would be back to where he would like to dedicate himself to be really next to Godli-ness

Again he would be back where everyday the brrriinnnggg brrr-riiiinnggg brrriinnnnggg wake up bell that permeates throughout the seminary walls would swirl into his eardrums and into his innermost soul jolting him to slide off the bed and be on his knees when sunrays slice through the windows of where he had confined himself to be nearer to Godliness Still in the throes of being awake his right hand flies to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Hail Mary full of gracehelliphe falls back into the abyss of nothingness but a second alarm ndash briiinnggg briiinggg brii-ingggg would bring back the swirl into his eardrums permeating into

his soul jolting him back to the re-ality that he is already on his knees Hail Mary full of gracehelliphas he said three already He would goad himself and fight against falling back into the abyss of nothingness for the umpteenth time Has he said three Hail Maries already He decides that since he had lost count he would complete three Hail Maries even if he already went over the count He would add an Our Father and a Glory Be

He gets up and staggers himself towards the exit of the dormitory towards the wash basins He passes other seminarians still in various pose of waking up on their knees or staggering out like himself The silkiness or fadedness of their paja-mas distinguishes who among them come from richer or poorer families

After freshening up he dons his white shirt and pants and black neck-tie He then marches out to join the other seminarians lining up in front of the chapel They appear like equal angels without wings Only tie clips shoes belts or brands of watches distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families

Equally mandated each one clasps his hands palms together on his chest They proceed to their assigned pews while cherubim like hymns fill the air

And the rite beginsDominus VobiscumhellipEt cum

spiritu tuohellipOra pro nobis kneelhellipsithellipstandhellipsit againhellipmostly kneel - all in sanctity to commune with the Spirit and the saints

By the offertory sanctity could be broken as Carlorsquos stomach as well as othersrsquo would growl pleading that the fangs of hunger be quelled But they have to wait though now find it hard to be in communion with the Spirit and the saints

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Finally it would be lsquoGo in peace the mass is endedrsquo

In seeking peace for their hunger they still have to be saintly tip-toe out of the chapel Their shoes then would scrape on the hallways in they dash to the dormitories in the rush to change into their school clothes

Now their over-all clothing demeanors ndash shirts pants sweaters socks shoes ndash starkly distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families Nonetheless richer or poorer they remained equal in the need to quell the fangs of hun-ger as they rush to the rectory hall

A sunny side two sausages fried rice from leftovers the night before crowd on each of the eight plates on each of the ten tables at the rec-tory The coffee would be soggy but would still be a welcome brew to enliven our breakfast which is equal for all The food they are about to receive from His bounty made them all equal except that there are also apples and juice and non soggy cof-fee at the head table where the Flem-ish rector Flemish assistant rector and Flemish principal are

Their stomachs would now really be howling gurgling clamoring for whatever they have to partake on but they all had to equally wait for the last seminarian to enter the dining hall half embarrassed half rever-ent The rector frowning for the delay would glare at the late comer before his right hand would fly to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Bless us Oh Lord in these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord Amen

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Amen

The last vestiges of reverence would now be broken as the ter-restrial need to fortify onersquos body takes precedence over the needs of the soul Chairs screech as the seminarians slide unto them Spoons and forks bang to scrape on eggs sausages and rice as they slide from the plates into munching mouths to mediate the growling gurgling stomachs

After a while Carlo would be satisfied with the egg two sausages fried rice and soggy coffee He would then have more time to often wonder why those Flemish priests also have apples juice and non soggy coffee while the seminar-ians do not Often he dismisses

the thought to just because they are already priests priests who are white because they have a different culture Nonetheless he often asks himself didnrsquot Jesus Christ share the same enliven bread and fish with his apostles

Often he would also feel guilty that having such kind of thoughts about inequality with the priests could be sacrilegious and wonders if he had to go to the con-fessional for that

Such thoughts however would vanish as he immerses himself with the day of classes ndash geometry Latin physics basketball volleyball lunch more studies ping-pong ro-sary and the long litanies and night prayers

The thoughts of inequality how-ever would invade his mind again the following day right after the br-riinnggg brrriinggg brriingggg and the regimen begins

And the regimen he would be go-ing back to made the short Christ-mas holiday break really shorter Nonetheless he had dedicated himself to the vocation and glad that no one or nothing during the vaca-tion made him feel that it was really short He had again passed the test of being out of the seminary walls with still the resolve that he would be going back for Godlinessrsquos sake

Vacations are not only respites from the sanctified isolationrsquos regimen They are tests to how one would not succumb to the calls of the human flesh in the outside world Should one not be able to resist temptations it would be better for one to fall away from the calling earlier than later after one is fully vested when the faithful would be subject to disillusionment

Nonetheless tonight Carlo would indulge in a simple call of the flesh He was ready for the dinner prepared by his mother one much better than the feasts of the priests

The MoringaMalunggay Tree with its edible leaves flowers and pods is one of most power packed nutritious trees in the world It goes by many different names drumkstick tree the Miracle tree the Never Die Tree the Miracle tree

I wrote an article on that subject here but it is also one of the most healing trees in the world All of the tree is ei-ther used for food medicine or cooking It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for hundreds of years to both prevent and treat almost 300 diseasesThe in-formation in this article is not based on double blind research but on the histori-cal and current usage of Moringa leaves flowers and pods in India and many other countries This is how the people have used it in the past and how they use it now Much of this information was observed and documented in the different health projects by physicians in their treatment of AIDS malnutrition and disease In India Ayurvedic physi-cians use it in their standard treatment protocols

How can Moringa leaves have an im-pact on so many problems Many health problems are due to poor nutrition malnutrition and imbalanced disease states which result in immune system breakdown and disease When you correct those imbalances and nutritional deficiencies with super packed nutritious food it is bound to improve health and disease states The ability for Moringa leaves flowers bark and pods to have such diverse healing effects is due to the vitamins minerals antioxidants and healing elements the tree contains

A review of Moringas power packed nutrition

Here is a nutritional breakdown of Fresh Moringa Leaves 7 times the Vitamin C of Oranges 4 times the Cal-cium of Milk 3 times the Potassium of Bananas 2 times the Protein of Yogurt 4 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and frac34 the iron of Spinach

Moringa leaves when dried become a even greater powerhouse of nutri-tion containing frac12 the Vitamin C of Oranges 17 times the Calcium of Milk 15 times the Potassium of Bananas 9 times the Protein of Yogurt 25 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and 20 times the Iron in Spinach All elements except the Vitamin C is increased when you dry the leaves under low temperatures Drying the leaves in direct sunlight decreases its nutritional values

How Moringa and Artemisia Annua Leaves benefit AIDS Patients

There are health projects going on

in Tanzania Musoma and other areas There is a real AIDS crisis in these areas In these AIDS cases the doctors have found that the combination of two herbs Moringa and Artemisia Annua improved the energy stamina and CD4 counts of the AIDS patients Some of their patients came in so weak they were not able to walk or care for them-selves They improved so dramatically that many were able to go back to work and many stayed to help the incoming patients These dramatic improvements were documented over and over again by the doctors in these health projects

How the herbs were used in the treat-ment protocols

The physicians combined dried Mor-inga Leaves with Artemisia Annua and then added one heaping teaspoonful of the powder to make a tea A liter of tea using 5 grams of the powder was given 3 times a day to the patient while the symptoms were acute Later when the patients improved it was reduced to a cup a day When you consider the super nutrition in Moringa leaves it is easy to understand how the Aids patients would improve The power packed nutrition would bolster their immune function strength stamina and ability to live a more normal active life

Moringa does NOT cure AIDS but helps the AIDS patient live longer and improves their quality of life and health Often the AIDS patient does not die from AIDS but from one of the opportunistinfections that prey on their compromised immune system

Moringa Leaves effects on blood pres-sure blood sugar breast milk produc-tion and anemia

In India the leaves are used to normalize blood pressure and to treat anxiety In 1994 a team of researchers identified a new nitride and mustard oil glycoside that demonstrated its ability to lower blood pressure

An infusion of the leaf is used to reduce sugar levels though not as ef-fectively as the standard hypoglycemia medicine

Moringa leaves mixed with honey then followed with coconut milk drunk 2 to 3 times a day is used for diarrhea dysentery and colitis

Moringa leaves have been observed and documented by doctors in the health projects to increase breast milk produc-tion and the health of nursing mothers This is due to the nutrition in the leaves especially the protein calcium and iron

Refreshing News | 7122012 -- Top experts separate the fact from myth once and for all--and reveal some surprises in the process Myth 1 Eating at Night Makes You Fat FACT If your overall calorie intake is appropriate for weight loss or maintenance it may benefit you to eat something after dinner says Joni Rampolla RD Director of Nu-trition and Wellness for Medifast

Late-night calories will ultimately get used the next day (and even while you sleep) To keep your en-ergy levels up it is better to spread your calories out during the day when your body needs fuel Aim to eat something every two or three hours This will stabilize blood sugar levels and help you feel full and energized all day

If you do need a late-night snack consider keeping it to 200 calories or less

Myth 2 Hunger is a sign you need food FACT The body commonly sends cues of hunger when it is dehydrated sleep deprived or sensing psycho-logical hunger If yoursquore not drinking enough water or getting enough sleep this alone can cause you to sense hunger even though yoursquore full Rampolla says

Myth 3 Losing weight is harder than keeping it off FACT More than 90 percent of dieters regain the weight they lost (or more) once they ldquofinishrdquo their plan Rampolla says If you resume eating the foods you ate before los-ing weight you will gain the weight back-and maybe a few extra pounds Herersquos why After weight loss your slimmer body requires fewer calo-ries to function Plus if your weight-loss plan does not include enough protein you might lose muscle mass in addition to excess fat Why thatrsquos bad Muscle burns more calories than fat does so losing muscle will lower your metabolism

Every day make a positive decision to stay on track with your new healthy lifestyle Maintaining healthy eating habits is a lifelong commitment and takes persistence Rampolla says

Myth 4 Exercise makes you tired FACT As the body gets in better shape most people feel exercising gives them more energy than before Regular exercise can also help fight fatigue improve your sleep and manage your stress says Gina Crome MS MPH RD and Top 10 FitOrbitcom trainer

Myth 5 Working out is a big time commitment FACT To main-tain a healthy weight you can work out as little as 20 to 40 minutes most days of the week If your goal is to lose weight itrsquos advised that you aim for about 45 to 60 minutes each day Crome says

The best part You donrsquot need to fit it all into one session Most of us can find five to 10 minutes to spare

at different points in the day Using these spare minutes throughout the day to be active adds up quickly and eventually becomes a regular part of your healthy lifestyle

Myth 6 Lower-body workouts will give you lean legs faster FACT The type of exercise you do does not affect the number of fat cells in a specific area Crome says Even if you do 100 abs exer- cises every day without proper nutri-tion quality sleep and a well-round- ed fitness routine you might never achieve the toned flat stomach you want You will help develop the muscles in that area but that doesnrsquot equate to fat loss

When the body loses

fat it does so

in a

sys-

temic fashion-all over the body at the same time Aside from surgical procedures such as liposuction there is no way to direct or influence the elimi-nation of fat from

specific areas Crome says Myth 7 You should

only eat carbs when yoursquore ac-tive FACT This myth is based on the belief that since carbs are the bodyrsquos preferred energy source you shouldnrsquot eat them when yoursquore inactive-like most people are in the evening However many individuals have atypical schedules or regularly exercise after work These people benefit from consuming appropri-ate amounts of carbohydrates in the evening to fuel their lifestyle says John Bosse RD and Member of the Research amp Development team for USANA Health Sciences

For someone who is sedentary in the evening a small high-protein snack such as 23 cup of full-fat cottage cheese or a protein shake can actually help you stay slim Research shows that eating high-quality protein at regular intervals promotes better body composition and since a lot of time passes between dinner

and breakfast this small snack is a smart strategic move

Myth 8 Heavy weights will make you bulky FACT Unless yoursquore taking in substances that alter your hormone profile (anabolic ste-roids) it is highly unlikely that you will gain large amounts of muscle Bosse says Doing a high number of reps (20+) using light weights and stopping each set well before the point of muscular failure certainly helps improve fitness and burn calo-ries but itrsquos not the best way to get a lean toned body What is Integrate periods of heavier training (six to 10 reps) with some sets taken to muscular failure The ability to build muscle is very different for men and women and should not be confused Bosse says

Myth 9 You should do a juice cleanse to detox FACT Our bod-ies are extremely smart and have built-in processes for detoxing every day says Kristen Carlucci RD reg-istered dietitian and nutrition expert for Pitney Bowes Inc

Yes people lose weight on juice cleanses but not because of any mir-acle ingredient or because your body is cleared of toxins that are slowing

down your metabolism Weight lost during a cleanse is most likely

a result of taking in far fewer calories than

usual While fill-ing up on fruits

and vegetables is a positive thing the problem with juice cleanses is that they are a tem-porary fix They donrsquot teach you the balanced nutrition habits you should be forming in order to lose weight and keep it off for good Carlucci says

Myth 10 Carbs are the en-emy FACT With the onset of the low-carb diet craze many people deny themselves this major food group This concept is misunder-stood because itrsquos not the carbohy-drates themselves that cause weight gain itrsquos the fact that for many of us itrsquos difficult to control the portion sizes Carlucci says

Instead of cutting out carbs alto-gether (which does not sound fun at all) focus on choosing the right carbs in the proper portions Stick with whole-grain pastas and breads (each slice should have 100 calories or less and should contain at least 3 grams of fiber) and try to fill no more than 14 of your plate with starch Limit pasta to 1 cup cooked and choose potatoes that are about the size of a computer mouse

The 10 Most Misunderstood Diet and Fitness Strategies Fatty Acid Found in Fish Prevents Age-

Related Vision Loss Study Suggests

ScienceDaily (May 30 2012) mdash An omega-3 fatty acid found in fish known as DHA prevented age-relat-ed vision loss in lab tests according to recent medical research from the University of Alberta

Yves Sauveacute a researcher in the Faculty of Medicine amp Dentistry and his team discovered that lab models fed DHA did not accumulate a toxic molecule at the back of the eyes The toxin normally builds up in the retina with age and causes vision loss

ldquoThis discovery could result in a very broad therapeutic userdquo says Sauveacute whose work was recently published in the peer-reviewed jour-nal Investigative Ophthalmology amp Visual Science

ldquoIn normal aging this toxin increases twofold as we age But in lab tests there was no increase in this toxin whatsoever This has never been demonstrated before -- that supplementing the diet with DHA could make this kind of differencerdquo

The team recently started another study looking at people who have age-related macular degeneration a condition that results in loss of central vision and is the main cause of blindness in people over the age of 50 The researchers will look for DNA markers in the blood of study participants The team wants to determine whether participants with certain genetic markers will respond better to increasing amounts of DHA in their diet and if so why

Sauveacute is a researcher in the departments of ophthalmology and physiology at the U of A

Various organizations funded the research the primary funder was the Canadian Institutes of Health Research

Courtesy of WebMD -- Who doesnrsquot enjoy a tall cool glass of juice The color is vibrant the taste sweet and itrsquos good for you too Not so fast say some dietitians Although the best kinds of juice deliver a bounty of vitamins the worst are hardly better than liquid candy WebMD helps you spot the difference

Drinking your veggies is a conve-nient way to add powerful plant-based nutrients to your diet The lycopene in tomato juice appears to lower the risk of prostate cancer Beet juice may reduce blood pres-sure Pulpy vegetable juice is also packed with fiber that can help con-trol hunger And all of these benefits come without a catch Vegetable juice has far less sugar and fewer calories than the typical fruit juice but it is high in sodium unless you choose the low salt version

Be on alert for the terms juice cocktail juice-flavored beverage or juice drink Most of these prod-ucts contain only small amounts of real juice The main ingredients are usually water and some type of sugar such as high-fructose corn syrup Nutritionally these drinks are similar to most soft drinks mdash rich in sugar and calories but low in nutri-ents Research suggests that sug-ary fruit drinks put kids at risk for obesity and related health problems The 2010 Dietary Guidelines recom-mends water over sugary drinks

If yoursquore only going to drink one glass of juice each day you want to make it a good one So letrsquos ex-plore which juices offer the biggest nutritional payoff per sip Pomegran-ate juice tops the list Itrsquos high in sugar and calories but delivers an abundant dose of antioxidants These substances appear to protect brain function and may ward off cancer In one study 8 ounces of pomegranate juice daily reduced the recurrence of prostate cancer

Cranberry juice is packed with vitamin C which is vital to a healthy immune system There is also evidence to support a folk remedy -- drinking unsweetened cranberry juice may help reduce your risk of urinary tract infections

Substances in blueberries may help keep the brain healthy In a small study researchers looked at the effect of blueberry juice on memory in adults in their seven-ties who had age-related memory decline Those who drank 2 12 cups of blueberry juice for 12 weeks had significant improvement on learning and memory tests compared to those who drank a non-juice beverage So choose blueberry juice to boost brain health

Researchers have only begun look-ing into the health benefits of acai juice which is made from a berry found in South America But early studies are promising Acai pulp appears to have a higher concentra-tion of antioxidants than cranber-ries blackberries strawberries or blueberries

Besides delivering a wealth of antioxidants some berry juices appear to have anti-inflammatory properties According to one study drinking cherry juice before and after your work-out can reduce exercise-induced muscle pain

Wersquove all heard that red wine in moderation can be good for the heart The same is true of red grape juice Red grape juice contains po-tent antioxiodants -- flavanoids and resveratrol The key is that wine and juice are made with the entire grape -- seeds skin and all When you eat fresh grapes you miss out on nutri-ents hiding in the seeds

Another viable folk remedy prune juice has long been recommended to relieve constipation It works because itrsquos extremely high in fiber and contains a natural laxative called sorbitol But the benefits of prune juice donrsquot stop there The juice is also packed with antioxidants iron and potassium

Itrsquos a staple at breakfast but does this popular juice carry its weight The good news is orange juice is loaded with vitamin C a star for its immune-boosting benefits In addition orange juice is often forti-fied with calcium and vitamin D nutrients that strengthen the bones

TECH IT FROM MY BARBER by Benjamin Maynigo

Yesterday I received a reminder from the international headquarters of the International CES organizers that reg-istration to the conference and exhibit show just started

I am encouraging Asian Journal read-ers who are consumer technology pro-fessionals andor enthusiasts to attend and register early Registration now until August 31st is free but it will cost $100 starting September 1st and will increase to $200 on January 2 2013

This is the most important global tech-nology event of the year I have attended it every year for more than a decade now It had grown in terms of atten-dance and exhibit participation annually since I started going

During the International CES 2012 there were more than 140000 of us at-tending For International CES 2013 it is expected to attract more than 150000 top executives retail buyers content providers entertainment executives venture capitalists engineers govern-ment offi cials and media from 150 countries

Innovations Inventions and Initia-tives in several aspects of life will be on display New innovations in hardware software and apps cloud computing lifestyle technologies digital health and automotive technologies will be featured

As I have described in my previ-ous articles attending the likes of the International CES is like witnessing ldquolittle miraclesrdquo created and performed by fi nite beings as if guided by some Infi nite Being

I always enjoyed watching the demos of new products either vying to be in the Top 10 Gadgets Standing or just exhibit-ing them in their respective booths

It is always nice to see the best Mobile Apps demonstrated by developers and analyze their relevance as tools to inform or be informed to educate and be educated to entertain and be enter-tained and to be effi cient and effective

As a member of Press I am lucky to be provided with samples of some of the new products and technologies for review I also get to interview the CEOs of the companies that are launching and demonstrating their new gadgets

The 2013 CES will feature 3000 global technology companies unveiling the latest consumer technology products and services Among the major catego-ries of these products are electronic gaming entertainmentcontent digital imagingphotography connected home technologies automotive electronics audio video TV and many more

The brave non-violence of the

Subaanen peopleby Fr Shay Cullen PREDA

Some thousands of indigenous people all over the Philippines es-pecially in Mindanao especially the Subaanen people on the Zamboanga Peninsula have struggle for years to stop mining corporations from moving in to explore and mine the mountains and hills They are victims of corrupt government offi cials and even judges who are captivated by the vested inter-est of the mining industry

Some Indigenous people are sadly being forced to turn to armed resis-tance as the mining corporations move into their lands The Subaanen people have remained steadfastly non-violent and turned to the rule of law and trust in the constitution to protect them and their rightsBut is it enough

Hundreds of thousands of hectares of ancestral land has been threatened by the illegal and corrupt acts of some offi cials of the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Allegedly some of these offi cials are not on the side of the people in Mindanao but are for the rich and powerful mining interests and the banks that fund them

They allegedly enrich themselves by giving mining permits to companies

over ancestral lands which is forbidden by law It is at this level in the provinc-es where the anti-corruption campaign of President Aquino is weakest He has deposed a former president and a chief Justice but not yet the corrupt offi cials in Mindanao While the president is dedicated and honestly trying to clean up the stinking garbage of corrup-tion he cannot seemingly oust these entrenched offi cials the henchmen and women of powerful political families

They do not have allegiance to their department cabinet secretary or the president In fact they are ones who defy the president and are the hardest to get rid off The presidents politi-cal allies could be behind the corrupt practices that is opening the way for the illegal logging and issuance of mining permits They are pushing the president to override the provincial governments bans on open pit mining He must resist this pressure

Mining companies that get a permit to explore and mine also get a logging permit for the cutting the trees in the area alloted to them for mining This is totally destructive and is a way around the presidential ban on logging which goes on unabated Just drive through Mindanao and you will pass twenty or thirty huge trucks hauling cut logs I have seen them myself

For many years the Subaanen people and their supporters have stood peace-fully for their rights courageously and bravely to stop the local dynastic families and their cronies in the Inter-national mining industry from mining

their ancestral lands The Subaanen have been non-violent and trusted the democratic rule of law to save them

Their breakthrough cam in August 2011 when the Supreme Court of the Philippines granted a Writ of Ka-likasan (A protection of nature) to the people to protect the environment of the whole of the Zamboanga Peninsu-la A Writ of Kalikasan is a powerful legal remedy under Philippine law which provides for the protection ones right to a balanced and health-ful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature as provided for in Section 16 Article II of the Philippine Constitution It protects ones right for a healthy environment against damage of such magnitude that it threatens life health or property of inhabitants in two or more cities or provinces But the government of-fi cials are ignoring the Supreme Court order

Bishop Jiminez and three other bishops and an archbishop signed a letter to the London based sharehold-ers of the mining company RTZ-CRA trying to get the offi cials to stop the mining and logging wrote to the shareholders

In part he letter said ŠSince the company has the right to expatriate all the profi ts you the shareholders will probably earn some money However many of our people who own the lands where all the minerals are will become paupers Our rivers and seas

In travelling the countryside or while you are crossing the street driving your car taking the subway bedridden in the hospital or stuck in prison dont forget to say your Rosary every day Let the beads slip between your fi ngers they also slip between the fi n-gers of the Holy Father at the Vatican those of a grandmoth-er in Alaska a child on a hill in Rwanda a football player on a fi eld in Rio a Carthusian monk in his cell a Carmelite in her cloister or young evangelists on a mission

The Rosary is the certainly the prayer of the poor and the small the

sick and the suffering par excel-lence Yes always and everywhere not only in space but also in time The latitudes of the planet and longi-

tudes of history crisscross

The Hail Mary has moistened the lips of mil-lions of all ages races and nations How many chil-dren learned it as their fi rst prayer How many of the

dying whispered it as their ultimate testament The Hail Mary is a syn-thesis of two fi rst names Mary and Jesus

Father Daniel Ange

Never Forget to Say Your Rosary Everyday

Daily Meditation Listening With

Our Wounds To enter into solidarity with a suf-

fering person does not mean that we have to talk with that person about our own suffering Speaking about our own pain is seldom helpful for someone who is in pain A wounded healer is someone who can listen to a person in pain without having to speak about his or her own wounds When we have lived through a pain-ful depression we can listen with great attentiveness and love to a depressed friend without mentioning our experience Mostly it is better not to direct a suffering persons attention to ourselves We have to trust that our own bandaged wounds will allow us to listen to others with our whole beings That is healing

July 10 2012 Daily Meditation Text excerpts taken from Bread for the Journey by Henri JM Nouwen copy1997 HarperSanFrancisco All Scripture from The Jerusalem Bible copy1966 1967 and 1968 Darton Longman amp Todd and Doubleday amp Co Inc

Q How do you describe a luke-warm soul

A Jesus said lukewarm souls are souls who if He can only vomit out He will They are the souls He wanted to vomit out when He was in calvary Like in Geth-semane He said if it is only possible that He will not have to drink the cup He will not drink from it because these are the souls who are already in the light but decided to transfer to darkness That is why our Lord said what these souls are doing is the most hurting thing for Him

Q What makes Jesus happy

A What makes Jesus happy is if you can love your enemy Because how can you face God and beg for His mercy if you are not also merciful The truth is it is very diffi cult to love our enemy But there is a secret And the secret is fi rst of all we have to conquer our selves The truth is our num-ber one enemy is ourselves

because pride is in us hatred is in us all the negative are in us But if you are able to conquer your self if we are

able to defeat ourselves it means we do not have anymore pride no more hatred no more envy no more nega-tive and if all the negative are gone

it will be very easy to love your enemy

The truth is it is very easy to say ldquo I forgive yourdquo but it only comes from the mouth Deep inside the negatives are still in your heart and if it is not removed it will remain with you forever That is why you need to remove the negative You can only remove these if you love your enemy Because if you love your enemy ev-erytime you pray he is always included in your prayer and everytime you pray for your enemy slowly the thorn is be-ing removed and if the thorn is removed completely that will make Jesus very happy

To love an enemy means it is not necessary to like Just pray for him Do not say anything against him

a good chance that we will be able to extend this forward momentum as we anticipate better fi rst-half earnings from our listed fi rms The latest sovereign credit rating up-grade also provides additional support for future growth so overall I think we are in a terrifi c position to keep on im-provingrdquo PSE president Hans Sicat said in a press statement

Last July 5 the PSEi again beat its previous record high to post a fresh all-time high at 536998 As of July 6 the PSEi was the top performing market in Asia with a gain of 227 percent year-to-date beating bourses in Singapore Indonesia Malaysia Thailand Vietnam Hong Kong India and China among others

In the fi rst six months cyclical stocks banking and property led the PSEirsquos rise in the fi rst quarter albeit all indices were on the green

The fi nancial index emerged as the best performer in the fi rst half after surging by 346 percent to the 130442 level The fi nancial index was likewise the best performer in terms of bot-tomline based on fi rst-quarter earnings culled by the PSE

The next best performer was the property index which jumped by 301 percent to fi nish at 192748 in the fi rst half

The holding fi rms index rose by 281 percent to the 448880 level

Other indices performed as follows in the fi rst six months the industrial index rallied by 108 percent to fi nish at 783957 the services index climbed by 88 percent to 175902 -the mining and oil index crept higher by 48 percent to 2462948 points

ldquoJust like our main index investor confi dence in Philippines Inc is at an all-time high Whatrsquos remarkable is that we have been able to achieve unprec-edented growth even in the midst of ongoing uncertainties in the Western hemisphere and a cooling Chinese economy This is a testament to the effectiveness of the reforms that the country has undertaken which further contributed to the stable macroeconomic environmentrdquo Sicat said

The PSEirsquos fi nish in the fi rst six months was higher by 95520 points from its previous close of 429121 in the same period last year

The combined market capitalization of issues listed on the PSE during the January to June period stood at P1005 trillion up by 128 percent from a year ago

Total turnover for the fi rst half reached P94773 billion or 432 percent higher than the P66181 billion registered in the same period the previous year Average daily turnover stood at P764 billion an increase of 455 percent year-on-year

Danilova attributed this to the Russian language which ldquois not as polite as Englishhelliprdquo

ldquoSo when Russians translate directly from Russian to English it can sound rude to an English speaker even if they donrsquot mean it tordquo Danilova ldquoRussians tend to consider British people extremely polite due to their courteous way of speakingrdquo

I once asked my mentor how I could repay him for his kindness He told me to help 100 other people and my debt would be repaid in full Irsquod like to help at least a million people It is great to be recognized by your peers but I feel I should be recognizing the commu-nity for their steadfast and unwavering support for me and my colleagues at IW Grouprdquo said Bill Imada Chairman amp CEO IW Group Inc - Philanthropy Leadership honoree

In spite of the challenging fundraising environment APCF was successful at raising more than $150000 that was dis-tributed among its 29 Affi liate Agencies which provide health and human ser-vices to Asian and Pacifi c Islander (API) and other ethnic communities in need throughout Los Angeles County The mission of APCF is to build healthier and stronger API communities working with its affi liates corporate and commu-nity partners and individuals to generate resources for this often overlooked and under-served population

In addition special grant presentations were made by Verizon and Walmart totaling $100000 For the second year Verizon is funding APCFrsquos scholarship program for students pursuing higher education in the science technology engineering and math related fi elds In a time when students are faced with signifi cantly rising costs of obtaining a college degree it is important that there is support for these students in the Asian and Pacifi c Islander communities A total of $25000 in scholarship awards will be given out in 2012

Shooting StarPoem No 9

I wish I was a shooting star streaking through the night sky

Being here and there in brief fl ash of light

And really nowhere to be found

Me in your life being caught in your universe

Running around in circles ever nearing your space

Seeking the face by which I am doomed to certain death

Like a fl ash like a bang I am nowhere to be found

Me in your life caught in your universe streaking aimlessly

towards destruction envying the celestial dance between Moon

and Sun Sun and earth earth and heaven seeking freedom

from my desolated journey in you I found destruction through

my destruction I found my freedom

picture we were a small part of the overall Operation Tomadachi mis-sion but since external dosimetry was required for all personnel enter-ing the radiological warm zone for humanitarian assistance the USNH Yokosuka radiation health team took on the monumental challenge of en-suring personnel were appropriately monitoredrdquo

Ordinario was aided by a team of radiation health staff which included deployed technicians deployed from stateside commands to support Op-eration Tomadachi ldquoThe augmented staff from different Navy Medicine Commands was vital part of being able to carry out our missionrdquo said Ordinario ldquoBeing recognized for the efforts the radiation health team did during Operation Tomadachi

is an honor and a testament to the hard work that was put in by all involvedrdquo

The Capt Ernest W Brown award established in 1986 is presented in memory of the late Capt Ernest ldquoEWrdquo Brown and recognizes an individual for excellence in Navy Occupational Health Preventive Medicine andor Health Promo-tion programs at the activity level Brown was a renowned researcher in the fi eld of biochemical warfare submarine medicine and occupa-tional medicine In 1941 he suc-cessfully implemented the ambitious industrial hygiene and forerunner of our Navy program today -- Re-printed from Seahawk Umitaka (submitted by Daughlet Ordinario of San Diego CA)

Seaoil karter Gabriel Cabrera along with fellow Filipino Flynn Jackes fi nally ended the half a decade title drought for the Philippines in the Mini-ROK class of the Asian Karting Open Championshipsrsquo opening leg at the Kartodromo de Coloane in Macau The 5-leg international race series is regarded as the most prestigious karting tilt in Asia

Racing abroad for the fi rst time 12 year old Cabrera topped the time trials at 103674 despite the absence of a coach and with only his chief mechanic Joesefi lo Bariquit in tow

The Philippines enjoyed a momentous 1-2-3 moment at the time trials with Cabrera grabbing pole position followed by Xedrei Daquigan in second and Flynn Jackes in third

Enduring an abdomen injury incurred from a crash during the fi nals warm-up Cabrera nevertheless decided to continue to race in the fi nals Surging to 2nd place from 5th in the fi nal grid the excruciating pain however led Cabrera to slip to 4th place by the end of the race

Although bowing to Jackes for the top spot Cabrerarsquos admirable show of resilience and perseverance endeared him to fans and foes alike who knew of his injury In true AKOC camaraderie Cabrera even found an unlikely ally in Taiwanese rival Lin Tsen Han who along with his crew immediately as-

sisted Cabrera as he fi nally collapsed in pain at the weigh-in area

ldquoThere is no such thing as a broken spirit only broken bones But not even that can stop a Filipino karterrsquos will to winrdquo says Cabrera as he was whisked off to the Kiang Wu Hospital to receive emergency medical treatment

He eventually was stable enough to return to the track a few hours later in time to receive his 3rd runner-up trophy at the awarding ceremonies Cabrera is the son of Los Angeles-based business-man Richard Cabrera and is slated to compete in the seriesrsquo second leg later this month in Manila

money changers that were licensed to provide fi nancial services such as remittance transactions and bill pay-ments

The Philippines are fragmented by nature The country has 7000 islands 2000 of which are inhabited Since most banks are in urban areas reaching clients on the smaller remote islands can be extremely diffi cult and costly In a country where the savings rate is abysmal many people depend on credit for everyday expenses Non-bank facilities like pawnshops which are regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (or BSP the Philippines central bank) fi ll this gap

The BSP is currently considering allowing convenience stores or ldquosari-sari shopsrdquo to become banking agents as well They would be allowed to offer a variety of services including handling remittance transactions As nearly one out of 10 Filipinos lives and works abroad remittance transactions represent a huge portion of demand for fi nancial services In fact the Philip-

pines is one of the top fi ve recipients of remittances globally receiving about USD$19 billion annually

While this informal part of the banking sector certainly promotes fi nancial inclusion the BSP has made efforts to formalize the industry In 2010 it passed an amendment to certain banking regulations allowing for banks to establish microbanking offi ces (ldquoMBOsrdquo) MBOs are much smaller and cheaper to set up than bank branches They also offer a wider range of services that are important to Filipinos including microinsurance electronic money transfers social secu-rity payouts and savings products

THE METAMORPHOSISby Ernie D Delfi n America just turned 236 years

old In its over two centuries his-tory America has gone through the fi re that made it strong and stable Through countless trials during her lifetime such as the Civil War two World Wars many foreign wars like the Vietnam War and Iraqi War and civil unrests to name a few many American lives have been sacrifi ced to fi ght for what she believes in The last several years economic depressions or recessions that impoverished millions of people have become top issues in the country that have energized Amer-icans to debate intensely what is the right course for their country to pursue to better serve the well-being of her citizens and to bring back the luster and glory of America Due to national concerns on many is-sues like health care housing and global concerns on trade peace and foreign aid against the backdrop of an emerging superpower China Americarsquos national priorities and foreign policies will see a shift that will cause radical changes in this na-tion This election year will be an-other defi ning moment for America to steer Americansrsquo desire for their government to do to preserve its sta-tus as a superpower and envy of the world Despite its socio-economic problems and several foreign policy blunders that caused a signifi cant decline in Americarsquos infl uence in the world the last decade or so Ameri-cans are still a very lucky people as we are still guaranteed justice liberty and the pursuit of our own happiness that more than half of the earthrsquos population can just dream about

With that as a background I am quite grateful and fulfi lled this Independence Day 2012 as I also celebrated another birthday on July 5th (Philippine time) which is July 4th in America As 4th of July is a major holidays in the United States it has always been an opportune time for me to review my life and refl ect upon lifersquos meaning during this holiday amidst the elaborate fi re-works that surround the city where we live Having lived for over six decades now on this planet 60 of which in the American soil I can-not ask for more as I feel that I have had a ldquogood liferdquo on this earth with people I love and who love me too

The last 365 days since my last birthday were replete with surprises

events experiences and personal episodes that made me quite grateful that I am still alive and happy Like America as a person grows older (and wiser) his priorities change but his core values that serve as his compass remains constant That inexplicable feeling of joy and happiness as well as pains and suf-ferings often come to our lives as certain as the sunrise in the morning and sunset in the evening The past year has caused in me a good mix of human emotions happy sad scared regretful (for many things I have done or not done) hopeful and grateful that I am still alive and kicking today Less than a year ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and to the best of my memory I am the fi rst in my family to be stricken with that dreadful ldquoCrdquo ailment Such unexpected diagnosis from my annual medical exams has caused a very high degree of anxiety and ldquopains and sufferingrdquo within me and my family However I discovered solace and strength in my new found spiritual journey accepting that our Lord not us is in control of our lives and has admonished His people to ldquoBe not afraidrdquo Surprisingly I learned that His ldquoBe-not-afraid- advicerdquo appeared in the Bible 365 times

Thanks to my God the greatest Healer months after my surgery early this year my doctor told me that I am now a cancer survivor as my PSA level is now at negligible level He told me that he doesnrsquot want to see me more than twice a year now

Amidst that scary episode how-ever I also enjoyed many things during the past year like our month long adventure to Vienna Rome London and Paris with my one and only wife of over 30 years as our second honeymoon (many will be smiling or LOL with that bold disclosure) Another inventory of joyful accomplishments included the successful chartering of the Global Kalinga e-Rotary Club fi rst e- Club in Rotary District 3780 (and the second one in the entire Philip-pines) that I initiated and founded last year with 40 charter members who live in 6 countries that is expected to double by our fi rst An-niversary date in Oct 2012

This e-Rotary Club is like an infant that remains so tender and fragile that it needed a lot of patience and nourishment to grow But like lov-ing parents many of our committed

Independence Day 2012 and Birthday Refl ections

members are matured and patient enough to nurture this e-Rotary baby to develop it to become an Olym-pian athlete to compete in the near future Our GKeRotary Club has now members from many nationalities like Caucasians Hispanics Blacks Canadians Nigerians and Filipinos (from Luzon to Mindanao) who reside in as many 6 countries today As we grow in number with closer camaraderie among us doing many meaningful ldquoService Above Selfrdquo humanitarian proj-ects in the Philippines as well as in the city where we live we will have more FUN in this borderless e-Rotary Club than the traditional Rotary Club that meets weekly

Adhering to the ldquoSecretsrdquo in achieving a fulfi lled life by con-scious efforts (until they become unconscious efforts) to ldquobalanc-ing your Liferdquo into its essential quadrants PHYSICAL (to live) MENTAL (to learn) SOCIAL (to love) and SPIRITUAL (to leave a legacy) I have consciously put more time in one area that matters most (once you are over 60 like me) the ldquoleaving a legacyrdquo quadrant Itrsquos a fact of life that when you become a senior citizen you can no longer do many things nor eat many foods that you enjoyed when you were one and twenty when you were in high school or college so you simply adjust to your new reality Each morning that you wake up and able to walk and see the sunrise hear the chirping of birds smell the aroma of freshly brewed Healthy Coffee itrsquos always a small miracle and you thank the One Who gave you life Having accepted my own mortality that one day I will also meet my Maker I have replaced a good por-tion of ldquobusinessrdquo hours into vol-unteerism or ldquoService Above Selfrdquo hours in my church and several NGOs like the Rotary Interna-tional that truly render humanitarian works to others

Also for about fi ve years now I have been attending a weekly morn-ing Bible Study that has contributed greatly in the balancing of my life that is very hard to do in a materi-alistic society like the USA The word BIBLE has been creatively defi ned to mean ldquoB asic L essons B efore L eaving E arthrdquo and in so many ways it lsquos true All of us homo sapiens undergo that human journey like the biblical ldquoprodigal sonrdquo who must leave the family home goes away (to experience new things both good and bad) and hopefully comes back home (to his Father) as he must undergo some profound changes (for his own salvation) Life without any kind of metamorphosis the caterpillar would never become a beautiful and colorful butterfl y So does a person must undergo many phases of his transformation to enjoy his journey on this earth before he goes into that blissful state that many call Heaven or Paradise

Additionally last year I also fi nished by certifi cation classes and has been ldquocertifi edrdquo by the Diocese of Orange and the Orange County Sheriff to wear a white badge as a ldquoRestorative Justice Ministerrdquo aka ldquoPrison Detention Ministerrdquo where we visit and minister to the inmates in the Orange County Jails every week for Bible Study andor Catholic Com-munion Services every week

Meeting these ldquoinmatesrdquo (thatrsquos what they are called in County Jails in state or federal prison the incarcerated are called ldquoprisonersrdquo) and listening to them and ministering to their ldquospiritualrdquo needs on a weekly basis have an-nihilated many myths and miscon-ceptions that I used to hold ldquoagainstrdquo them Due to some educational and cultural biases I used to believe that all those in prison deserved to be there as they are ldquobadrdquo criminals but slowly I have softened that stand I now believe that although these in-mates are incarcerated they are still human beings also who still possess their human dignity as children of the same God Many martyrs and saints of the church like St John the Baptist and St Paul were also in prison The prison system is a part of the human society since biblical times and its worsening conditions in many areas are a sad refl ection of all of us en of the same God Many martyrs and our lives and He has admonished His people to ldquo

Punishments and Restorative

Justice are two schools of thoughts that are being administered in many prisons today The Catholic and many Christian churches advo-

cate that more must be done in the rehabilitation or in the Restorative Justice of inmates or prisoners in the Justice System to give back their human dignity even when they are incarcerated

Being a Prison Detention Minister and just listening and observing these inmates during our Catholic Communion Services that we do for them is another human experience

that can potentially convert a sinner like me into a better human being For instance I got an unexpected education from one woman inmate

when she declared ldquoI am now very happy that I was arrested for what I did I consider my arrest as my own rescue from a certain deathrdquo What a paradigm shift Now I can understand why there are many spiritual conversions that occur in prison because God does not leave a person wherever he is because He is everywhere

To any practicing Catholic (or any religion for that matter)

out there I highly recommend that he or she tries to see if becoming a Prison Detention or Restorative Jus-tice Minister is right for him or her It is a wonderful experience There is a great need for more dedicated and willing volunteers to minister to the spiritual needs of this growing prison population in America today

The foregoing column is a very sobering personal refl ection on

this 4th of July weekend that I am boldly sharing to all readers and my friends with a ray of hope that some may also be inspired to be an-other ldquoLamp in the City on the Hillrdquo for others to see the inexplicable wonders of God as He has mysteri-ously converted Saul the Christian persecutor into St Paul to become a great and fearless evangelist of our Christian faith

the maintenance of peace and stability respect for interna-tional law and unimpeded lawful commerce in the South China Seardquo

Clinton welcomed the meeting saying a slew of joint initiatives including disaster relief forestry policy and disease control were ldquoan important signal that the US and China not only can but will work together in Asiardquo

No threats and intimidationClinton also urged claimant

countries not to resort to threats and intimidation an indirect reference to China

ldquoWe believe the nations of the region should work collabora-tively and diplomatically to resolve disputes without coercion without intimidation without threats and without use of forcerdquo Clinton said

ldquoIssues such as freedom of navi-gation and lawful exploitation of maritime resources often involve a wide region and approaching them strictly bilaterally could be a recipe for confusion and even confronta-tionrdquo Clinton added

The US said stability is its concern in the waterway which carries $5 trillion in ship-borne trade account-ing for half the worldrsquos shipping tonnage

ldquoThe United States is going to be very clear in our determination to see progress on the code of conduct between those negotiations that are taking place between China and ASEANrdquo a senior US State Depart-ment offi cial told reporters earlier this week

Clearly outline positionClinton likewise urged ASEAN na-

tions ldquoto clearly outline its position on the Scarborough Shoalrdquo and ldquoto complete a regional code of conduct in a timely fashionrdquo

She warned about serious prob-lems to the regional bloc if ASEAN fails to address the challenge

ldquoWhat might be a challenge today for some of ASEANrsquos members if left unaddressed by all of ASEAN could lead tomorrow to issues that may become problems for other ASEAN membersrdquo she said

Clinton said the US ldquolooks to ASEAN and claimant states to provide leadership in this issue and recognizes the important role of the ASEAN chairman to fi nd consensus and advance a common ASEAN positionrdquo

ldquoASEAN needs to meet its own goals and standards and be able to speak with one voice on issues fac-ing the regionrdquo Clinton said

ASEANrsquos 10 members announced earlier this week that they have drafted a set of rules governing maritime rights and navigation and procedures for when governments disagree But China is not a member of the group and hasnrsquot agreed to anything

The ASEAN countries are present-

ing their proposal to China at this weekrsquos conference in Cambodiarsquos capital though Beijing will probably want to water down any language that ties its hands

For the US the diffi cult diplomacy ahead could be a major test of the Obama administrationrsquos efforts to ldquopivotrdquo American power toward the worldrsquos most populous continent Just speaking out on the subject already has helped the US deepen ties with Vietnam and relations are warming with other governments in the region

But countless meetings between American and Chinese offi cials have not led to progress on a lasting solution

Various longstanding disputes among China the Philippines Viet-nam Taiwan Malaysia and Brunei involve the arearsquos busy sea-lanes and many observers fear the compli-cated web of disputes could spark a violent confl ict

The standoff between China and the Philippines in Panatag (Scarbor-ough) Shoal began in April when the Philippines accused Chinese fi sher-men of poaching in its exclusive economic zone including the shoal During the tensions both sides sent government ships to the area though both have since withdrawn vessels

Vietnam has protested a recent an-nouncement by the China National Offshore Oil Corp opening nine oil and gas lots for international bidders in areas overlapping with existing Vietnamese exploration blocks Viet-nam says the lots lie entirely within its 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone and continental shelf

When conditions are ripeWith the ASEAN set to start

negotiations with China on a code of conduct Beijing said it is willing to work with member countries ldquowhen the conditions are riperdquo

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokes-person Liu Weimin said in a press conference in Beijing Monday that the code of conduct is not for the resolution of disputes in the West Philippine Sea

ldquoI would like to emphasize that the code of conduct aims not at resolv-ing the South China Sea disputes but boosting mutual trust and coopera-tion between the parties concerned in a joint bid to maintain peace and stability in the South China Seardquo Liu said

Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario for his part told the ASEAN meeting that ldquothe adher-ence of all countries in the region to a set of fair and transparent rules as embodied in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea will generate greater mutual trust and respect in the regionrdquo ndash AP Pia Lee-Brago

survive one must have a job but for one to prosper one must engage in business

For this I am not worried about my daughter She will never be unemployed a victim of closing or streamlining companies She has her own business with no overheads and she is in a higher notch than when she started and contin-ues to spiral up in her virtual store

Of course this is not for everyone This is not for the comfortable not for those who do not blaze trails not for the non-dreamers defi nitely not for those who choose to be with the ninety-fi ve percent of society who choose to be ordinary

Only fi ve percent of society dares to swim against the tides These are the likes of Steve Jobs Donald Trump Bill Gates and others like those who became millionaires in Amway

Knowing my daughter and if I am not mistaken I predict that she will persevere and succeed She is guided by the Scriptures and books written by those who have made it She is so disci-plined that she does not even watch TV She says Jessica Sanchez and Manny Pacquaio will not help her become fi -nancially free They could entertain you but when you go back to reality you are still in whatever state you are

AS THE BAMBOOS SWAY By Rudy D Liporada

A couple from church introduced Am-way to me in 1987 They showed a plan telling me that I could be a millionaire in two to fi ve years if I buy from my own store ndash soaps (both laundry and body) beauty products vitamins and many more ndash and share the dream with others

I did not care I just landed in America just two weeks before I came to Amer-ica to work in pursuit of my own kind of dream Besides even if I wanted to I did not have $8000 then to register plus I did not have lsquoothersrsquo to share dreams with

Fast forward to late 2010 My only daughter and youngest of my children then 18 gets wind of Amway She asks for $16700 so she could register to be-come what Amway calls an Independent Business Owner Although reluctant I shelled out the money After all it was not for drugs or something like that Then she tells us among others to buy from her store what we would be buying from other stores anyway Why make the other stores profi t when we should be patronizing her store The prices were competitive She changed our soaps toothpastes her momrsquos make-up kit drinks vitamins etc I did not really care To me shaving cream is shaving

cream laundry soap is laundry soap My daughter is happy I am happy

What I did not really know was she was growing her market She had others join her in her dream

In late 2010 she had to attend an Amway convention in Portland Oregon with her dozen team members ndash no one was over 21 years old They were going on a long drive for eighteen hours They needed two vans but no rent-a-car would allow them to rent the vehicles Grudg-ingly I acceded to her request that I and her mom rent one each of those vans and might as well join them ndash might as well be in the convention

And so we were there In front of ten thousand participants

couple after couple testifi ed how they realized their dream sharing Amway products They were former waitresses accountants doctors construction workers Navy Seals etc On gargantuan screens they fl aunted their villas jets yachts high end cars and their pleasure trips around the world They said that through patience and hard work for two to fi ve years they sailed to becoming millionaires ndash now waking up whenever they want and being full time moms and dads

I believed them If only one of them would be lying in front of ten thousand people the institution Amway would crumble down

Then I was angry There was this guy same as my age was a teacher like me He was on the stage as a millionaire and I was down there listening to him and I have nothing to show He got into Amway in the middle 90rsquos Deng It was introduced to me in 1987

I started reading their brochures and catalogs I came to the conclusion that mathematically you could really get rich doing this thing All you needed is the belief the emotional quotient strive patience and most of all your dreams

Nonetheless beyond the business be-yond the products beyond the dreams I treasure most what Amway has done to my daughter Instead of continuing to party like most of her peers she is reading the Bible upon waking up and follows this up with management and business related books She is in power business cloths instead of showing her belly buttons Most important before Amway she fi ghts with her mom Now they are the best of friends

So I tell my friends and acquaintances about Amway and its products Most of them because the company has been there for over 50 years have heard of it have been into it and have notions about it This is because Amway is the mother of networking and Amway stands for the American Way

Most of them too after I show or reshow them the product benefi ts and the principle of buying from your own store go back to Amway if they have been there before The main thing is all of them agree to the greatness of the products and appreciate the evolved and developed marketing system of the com-pany ndash for those in the know one does not have to horde products anymore to sell everything now is done on-line And if you are not computer suave one in the organization will do it for you because you at least know how to use your cell phone or you can directly call in the orders

Robert T Kiyosaki in his book Rich Dad Poor Dad says that in order for one to be fi nancially free one must have a business He means for one to only

Joke of the Week Bill had a good friend who was a minister of long years standing They used to josh one another occasionally ldquoYou reverend think yoursquore so hotrdquo said Bill one day ldquoAfter all yoursquore only about 50 percent effective About half of the babies you baptize donrsquot stay Christians about half of the adults you convert donrsquot stay con-verted and about half the people you marry donrsquot stay marriedrdquo ldquoWersquore 100 percent on one pointrdquo answered his minister friend ldquoIf I were a bet-ting man Irsquod give you 1000 to1odds that all the people we bury stay buriedrdquo

Scriptures First Reading Jer-emiah 23 1-6 In Jeremiahrsquos time the people of the northern kingdom of Israel had been exiled to Assyria and the Israelites in the southern kingdom of Judah had been deported to Babylon There were lots of dev-astated lives and broken hearts The kings and leaders did not live up as true shepherds The prophet speaks of hope out of this dismal condi-tion God will raise a new shepherd who will rule with righteousness and unite Israel and Judah Sec-ond Reading Ephesians 2 13-18 Through Christ all religious barriers between Hebrews and non-Hebrews or Gentiles are now demolished Through Christrsquos redemptive work of salvation and reconciliation those who are ldquofar offrdquo and ldquonearrdquo are now brought together All have access to the Father with the Spirit

Gospel Mark 6 30-34 In the fi rst reading God renews the promise he made to his people 1) to bless hu-manity by bringing it back to a land where it can bear fruit abundantly

(an allusion to Genesis) 2) to raise a new king who shall rule his people justly and rightly (a promise made to Abraham and David) Christian view the blessing at creation story of Gen-esis and the promise of a new leader are both fulfi lled in Jesus Christ

Refl ections The Hebrew word for shepherd does not only mean a king and ruler it also connotes the notion of feeding defending caring

and providing Jeremiah denounced the shepherds of his time who cared for themselves alone and not for the fl ock that were entrusted to them From the Christian point of view Jesus Christ is the shepherd who restores hope to new Israel In turn Jesus wants his apostles to continue his shepherding mission

Reginald Fuller commented that in this Marcan passage the term ldquoapostlesrdquo was not originally a title but a function Jeremiah condemned Zedekiah and the last kings of Judah as shepherds who have misled the people These corrupt shepherds paid more attention to their own selfi sh vested interests than those of the fl ock The Marcan passage is implying that the apostles should

avoid committing the same serious mistake In Matthew 23 6-7 Jesus told his disciples ldquoThey (Scribes and Pharisees) love places of honor at banquets seats of honor in syna-gogues greetings in marketplaces and the salutation lsquoRabbirsquordquo The apostles are told not to put more emphasis on title such as ldquoapostlerdquo and less on responsibilities that come with it Instead they should put more weight on their duties and responsibilities Titles such as ldquodoctor teachers bishop reverend engineer lawyerrdquo denote functions and responsibilities But when a title gains more prominence than the re-sponsibilities that come with it title divides rather than unites people

PSYCHOLOGISTS HAVE PROPOSED THE FASCINATING CONCEPT OF THE DYAD (Greek dyacuteo ldquotwordquo) or bi-polar archetype Common functionaries such as doc-torpatient lawyerclient ministerparishioner and parents children are some archetypal roles Many of these roles are essentially linked to a partnering archetype hence the term dyad archetype To stress the supe-rior pole of the archetype doctor lawyer minister and parents over the other pole patient client parish-ioner and children breaks the dyad and negatively impacts both poles For instance a doctor who fails to recognize that there is a ldquophysi-cianrdquo in his patient breaks down the therapeutic relationship between him and his patient The same is true with a teacher who fails to see that he too is a ldquostudentrdquo who can learn from his students Ministers who forget that they too are in need of salvation treat their parishioners as inferiors Parents become domineer-ing and overbearing when they fail to learn from their children On the other hand the dyad is also broken when the inferior pole is emphasized over the superior pole When both poles recognize each otherrsquos strength and draw energies to enhance each otherrsquos well being there is true heal-ing learning ministering parenting and spirituality

We read in todayrsquos Gospel that Jesus invited his apostles to take a break from their tiresome activities Likewise we seek scenic vistas sun-ny beaches quiet and private places

to relax and unwind Leonardo da Vinci wrote ldquoEvery now and then go away have a little relaxation for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose power of judgment hellip Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be take in at a glance and lack of harmony or proportion is more readily seenrdquo Jesus mindful of his apostlesrsquo need for a breather after a hectic mission asked them to rest a while It was a rest aimed at energizing the apostles with the divine presence that would enable them to be more effective in their mission Onersquos summer vacation can also be an occasion to recharge our spiritual battery

ldquoNot without design does God write the music of our lives Be it ours to learn the time and not be discouraged at the rests If we say sadly to ourselves lsquoThere is no music in a restrsquo let us not forget there is the making of music in it The making of music is often a slow and painful process in this life How patiently God works to teach us How long He waits for us to learn the lessonrdquo (John Ruskin)

Quotation of the Week ldquoIf you keep a bow always bent it will break eventually but if you let it go slack it will be fi t for use when you want itrdquo Aesop

Spirituality in Dyadic Relationship

Spiritual Courage

Courage is connected with taking

risks Jumping the Grand Can-yon on a motorbike coming over Niagara Falls in a barrel or crossing the ocean in a rowboat are called courageous acts because people risk their lives by doing these things But none of these daredevil acts comes from the centre of our being They all come from the desire to test our physical limits and to become famous and popular

Spiritual courage is something completely different It is following the deepest desires of our hearts at the risk of losing fame and popular-ity It asks of us the willingness to lose our temporal lives in order to gain eternal life

Cayabyab lauds ABS-CBN Philharmonic

OrchestraABS CBN News | MANILA Phil-

ippines -- Acclaimed composer Ryan Cayabyab lauded the newly formed ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra which will make its fi rst major public debut at the ldquoIcons at the Arenardquo con-cert at the SM Mall of Asia Arena

Rehearsing this afternoon was a breeze The rare event on Saturday combines only the best Filipino art-ists together in the concert with the best musicians of the ABS-CBN Phil-harmonic What more can I ask for as musical director Ang ganda at ang sarap ng tugtuganrdquo said Cayabyab who is the musical director of

the all-star OPM concertCayabyab who composed OPM

classics such as Kay Ganda ng Ating Musika called the orchestra the newest most exciting addition to the top artists of the Kapamilya Network

He praised the orchestra members as arguably the best crossover musi-cians of the country who can perform all types and genres of music led by

a formidable music director Gerard Salonga

Early this year ABS-CBN and First Philippine Holdings Inc joined hands to promote an advocacy for Filipinos to connect and experience ldquorealrdquo and ldquogoodrdquo music Thus the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra was created to defy the notion that a full orches-tra is only limited to classical music

The 40-piece musical ensemble is also a fi rst in the history of ABS-CBN

ABS-CBN chairman Eugenio ldquoGabbyrdquo Lopez III stressed that the orchestra aims to provide music of the highest caliber to the general audience

ABS-CBN president Charo Santos-Concio on the other hand expressed her full support for the orchestra

and her optimism that this will be a signifi cant platform to celebrate the character and soul of Filipino music

According to ABS-CBN Philhar-monic Orchestrarsquos executive director Mickey Muntildeoz the orchestra shall also service the performance and music needs of ABS-CBN such as concerts as well as the musical scor-ing for movies

Muntildeoz also revealed that a youth orchestra is also being formed to train indigent but talented young Pinoys to play musical instruments

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada

(In the last chapter PMA cadet Julius Madrigal buys a bible as New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Carlo entered his room from his bath He donned on a t-shirt from his strewn clothes which he would have to pack the following day Over the shirt he pulled over a lengthwise striped sweater which made him appear taller than his five foot and a half frame He then went to the mirror and combed his still damp straight hair parting it on its left side He smiled checking his well set teeth He felt clean

Cleanliness is next to Godliness Monday after the New

Year he would be back to nearer Godliness His two weeks vacation would be over He would be back to where he would like to dedicate himself to be really next to Godli-ness

Again he would be back where everyday the brrriinnnggg brrr-riiiinnggg brrriinnnnggg wake up bell that permeates throughout the seminary walls would swirl into his eardrums and into his innermost soul jolting him to slide off the bed and be on his knees when sunrays slice through the windows of where he had confined himself to be nearer to Godliness Still in the throes of being awake his right hand flies to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Hail Mary full of gracehelliphe falls back into the abyss of nothingness but a second alarm ndash briiinnggg briiinggg brii-ingggg would bring back the swirl into his eardrums permeating into

his soul jolting him back to the re-ality that he is already on his knees Hail Mary full of gracehelliphas he said three already He would goad himself and fight against falling back into the abyss of nothingness for the umpteenth time Has he said three Hail Maries already He decides that since he had lost count he would complete three Hail Maries even if he already went over the count He would add an Our Father and a Glory Be

He gets up and staggers himself towards the exit of the dormitory towards the wash basins He passes other seminarians still in various pose of waking up on their knees or staggering out like himself The silkiness or fadedness of their paja-mas distinguishes who among them come from richer or poorer families

After freshening up he dons his white shirt and pants and black neck-tie He then marches out to join the other seminarians lining up in front of the chapel They appear like equal angels without wings Only tie clips shoes belts or brands of watches distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families

Equally mandated each one clasps his hands palms together on his chest They proceed to their assigned pews while cherubim like hymns fill the air

And the rite beginsDominus VobiscumhellipEt cum

spiritu tuohellipOra pro nobis kneelhellipsithellipstandhellipsit againhellipmostly kneel - all in sanctity to commune with the Spirit and the saints

By the offertory sanctity could be broken as Carlorsquos stomach as well as othersrsquo would growl pleading that the fangs of hunger be quelled But they have to wait though now find it hard to be in communion with the Spirit and the saints

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Finally it would be lsquoGo in peace the mass is endedrsquo

In seeking peace for their hunger they still have to be saintly tip-toe out of the chapel Their shoes then would scrape on the hallways in they dash to the dormitories in the rush to change into their school clothes

Now their over-all clothing demeanors ndash shirts pants sweaters socks shoes ndash starkly distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families Nonetheless richer or poorer they remained equal in the need to quell the fangs of hun-ger as they rush to the rectory hall

A sunny side two sausages fried rice from leftovers the night before crowd on each of the eight plates on each of the ten tables at the rec-tory The coffee would be soggy but would still be a welcome brew to enliven our breakfast which is equal for all The food they are about to receive from His bounty made them all equal except that there are also apples and juice and non soggy cof-fee at the head table where the Flem-ish rector Flemish assistant rector and Flemish principal are

Their stomachs would now really be howling gurgling clamoring for whatever they have to partake on but they all had to equally wait for the last seminarian to enter the dining hall half embarrassed half rever-ent The rector frowning for the delay would glare at the late comer before his right hand would fly to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Bless us Oh Lord in these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord Amen

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Amen

The last vestiges of reverence would now be broken as the ter-restrial need to fortify onersquos body takes precedence over the needs of the soul Chairs screech as the seminarians slide unto them Spoons and forks bang to scrape on eggs sausages and rice as they slide from the plates into munching mouths to mediate the growling gurgling stomachs

After a while Carlo would be satisfied with the egg two sausages fried rice and soggy coffee He would then have more time to often wonder why those Flemish priests also have apples juice and non soggy coffee while the seminar-ians do not Often he dismisses

the thought to just because they are already priests priests who are white because they have a different culture Nonetheless he often asks himself didnrsquot Jesus Christ share the same enliven bread and fish with his apostles

Often he would also feel guilty that having such kind of thoughts about inequality with the priests could be sacrilegious and wonders if he had to go to the con-fessional for that

Such thoughts however would vanish as he immerses himself with the day of classes ndash geometry Latin physics basketball volleyball lunch more studies ping-pong ro-sary and the long litanies and night prayers

The thoughts of inequality how-ever would invade his mind again the following day right after the br-riinnggg brrriinggg brriingggg and the regimen begins

And the regimen he would be go-ing back to made the short Christ-mas holiday break really shorter Nonetheless he had dedicated himself to the vocation and glad that no one or nothing during the vaca-tion made him feel that it was really short He had again passed the test of being out of the seminary walls with still the resolve that he would be going back for Godlinessrsquos sake

Vacations are not only respites from the sanctified isolationrsquos regimen They are tests to how one would not succumb to the calls of the human flesh in the outside world Should one not be able to resist temptations it would be better for one to fall away from the calling earlier than later after one is fully vested when the faithful would be subject to disillusionment

Nonetheless tonight Carlo would indulge in a simple call of the flesh He was ready for the dinner prepared by his mother one much better than the feasts of the priests

httpwwwmoringa4healingcom

The MoringaMalunggay Tree with its edible leaves flowers and pods is one of most power packed nutritious trees in the world It goes by many different names drumkstick tree the Miracle tree the Never Die Tree the Miracle tree

I wrote an article on that subject here but it is also one of the most healing trees in the world All of the tree is ei-ther used for food medicine or cooking It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for hundreds of years to both prevent and treat almost 300 diseasesThe in-formation in this article is not based on double blind research but on the histori-cal and current usage of Moringa leaves flowers and pods in India and many other countries This is how the people have used it in the past and how they use it now Much of this information was observed and documented in the different health projects by physicians in their treatment of AIDS malnutrition and disease In India Ayurvedic physi-cians use it in their standard treatment protocols

How can Moringa leaves have an im-pact on so many problems Many health problems are due to poor nutrition malnutrition and imbalanced disease states which result in immune system breakdown and disease When you correct those imbalances and nutritional deficiencies with super packed nutritious food it is bound to improve health and disease states The ability for Moringa leaves flowers bark and pods to have such diverse healing effects is due to the vitamins minerals antioxidants and healing elements the tree contains

A review of Moringas power packed nutrition

Here is a nutritional breakdown of Fresh Moringa Leaves 7 times the Vitamin C of Oranges 4 times the Cal-cium of Milk 3 times the Potassium of Bananas 2 times the Protein of Yogurt 4 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and frac34 the iron of Spinach

Moringa leaves when dried become a even greater powerhouse of nutri-tion containing frac12 the Vitamin C of Oranges 17 times the Calcium of Milk 15 times the Potassium of Bananas 9 times the Protein of Yogurt 25 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and 20 times the Iron in Spinach All elements except the Vitamin C is increased when you dry the leaves under low temperatures Drying the leaves in direct sunlight decreases its nutritional values

How Moringa and Artemisia Annua Leaves benefit AIDS Patients

There are health projects going on

in Tanzania Musoma and other areas There is a real AIDS crisis in these areas In these AIDS cases the doctors have found that the combination of two herbs Moringa and Artemisia Annua improved the energy stamina and CD4 counts of the AIDS patients Some of their patients came in so weak they were not able to walk or care for them-selves They improved so dramatically that many were able to go back to work and many stayed to help the incoming patients These dramatic improvements were documented over and over again by the doctors in these health projects

How the herbs were used in the treat-ment protocols

The physicians combined dried Mor-inga Leaves with Artemisia Annua and then added one heaping teaspoonful of the powder to make a tea A liter of tea using 5 grams of the powder was given 3 times a day to the patient while the symptoms were acute Later when the patients improved it was reduced to a cup a day When you consider the super nutrition in Moringa leaves it is easy to understand how the Aids patients would improve The power packed nutrition would bolster their immune function strength stamina and ability to live a more normal active life

Moringa does NOT cure AIDS but helps the AIDS patient live longer and improves their quality of life and health Often the AIDS patient does not die from AIDS but from one of the opportunistinfections that prey on their compromised immune system

Moringa Leaves effects on blood pres-sure blood sugar breast milk produc-tion and anemia

In India the leaves are used to normalize blood pressure and to treat anxiety In 1994 a team of researchers identified a new nitride and mustard oil glycoside that demonstrated its ability to lower blood pressure

An infusion of the leaf is used to reduce sugar levels though not as ef-fectively as the standard hypoglycemia medicine

Moringa leaves mixed with honey then followed with coconut milk drunk 2 to 3 times a day is used for diarrhea dysentery and colitis

Moringa leaves have been observed and documented by doctors in the health projects to increase breast milk produc-tion and the health of nursing mothers This is due to the nutrition in the leaves especially the protein calcium and iron

Refreshing News | 7122012 -- Top experts separate the fact from myth once and for all--and reveal some surprises in the process Myth 1 Eating at Night Makes You Fat FACT If your overall calorie intake is appropriate for weight loss or maintenance it may benefit you to eat something after dinner says Joni Rampolla RD Director of Nu-trition and Wellness for Medifast

Late-night calories will ultimately get used the next day (and even while you sleep) To keep your en-ergy levels up it is better to spread your calories out during the day when your body needs fuel Aim to eat something every two or three hours This will stabilize blood sugar levels and help you feel full and energized all day

If you do need a late-night snack consider keeping it to 200 calories or less

Myth 2 Hunger is a sign you need food FACT The body commonly sends cues of hunger when it is dehydrated sleep deprived or sensing psycho-logical hunger If yoursquore not drinking enough water or getting enough sleep this alone can cause you to sense hunger even though yoursquore full Rampolla says

Myth 3 Losing weight is harder than keeping it off FACT More than 90 percent of dieters regain the weight they lost (or more) once they ldquofinishrdquo their plan Rampolla says If you resume eating the foods you ate before los-ing weight you will gain the weight back-and maybe a few extra pounds Herersquos why After weight loss your slimmer body requires fewer calo-ries to function Plus if your weight-loss plan does not include enough protein you might lose muscle mass in addition to excess fat Why thatrsquos bad Muscle burns more calories than fat does so losing muscle will lower your metabolism

Every day make a positive decision to stay on track with your new healthy lifestyle Maintaining healthy eating habits is a lifelong commitment and takes persistence Rampolla says

Myth 4 Exercise makes you tired FACT As the body gets in better shape most people feel exercising gives them more energy than before Regular exercise can also help fight fatigue improve your sleep and manage your stress says Gina Crome MS MPH RD and Top 10 FitOrbitcom trainer

Myth 5 Working out is a big time commitment FACT To main-tain a healthy weight you can work out as little as 20 to 40 minutes most days of the week If your goal is to lose weight itrsquos advised that you aim for about 45 to 60 minutes each day Crome says

The best part You donrsquot need to fit it all into one session Most of us can find five to 10 minutes to spare

at different points in the day Using these spare minutes throughout the day to be active adds up quickly and eventually becomes a regular part of your healthy lifestyle

Myth 6 Lower-body workouts will give you lean legs faster FACT The type of exercise you do does not affect the number of fat cells in a specific area Crome says Even if you do 100 abs exer- cises every day without proper nutri-tion quality sleep and a well-round- ed fitness routine you might never achieve the toned flat stomach you want You will help develop the muscles in that area but that doesnrsquot equate to fat loss

When the body loses

fat it does so

in a

sys-

temic fashion-all over the body at the same time Aside from surgical procedures such as liposuction there is no way to direct or influence the elimi-nation of fat from

specific areas Crome says Myth 7 You should

only eat carbs when yoursquore ac-tive FACT This myth is based on the belief that since carbs are the bodyrsquos preferred energy source you shouldnrsquot eat them when yoursquore inactive-like most people are in the evening However many individuals have atypical schedules or regularly exercise after work These people benefit from consuming appropri-ate amounts of carbohydrates in the evening to fuel their lifestyle says John Bosse RD and Member of the Research amp Development team for USANA Health Sciences

For someone who is sedentary in the evening a small high-protein snack such as 23 cup of full-fat cottage cheese or a protein shake can actually help you stay slim Research shows that eating high-quality protein at regular intervals promotes better body composition and since a lot of time passes between dinner

and breakfast this small snack is a smart strategic move

Myth 8 Heavy weights will make you bulky FACT Unless yoursquore taking in substances that alter your hormone profile (anabolic ste-roids) it is highly unlikely that you will gain large amounts of muscle Bosse says Doing a high number of reps (20+) using light weights and stopping each set well before the point of muscular failure certainly helps improve fitness and burn calo-ries but itrsquos not the best way to get a lean toned body What is Integrate periods of heavier training (six to 10 reps) with some sets taken to muscular failure The ability to build muscle is very different for men and women and should not be confused Bosse says

Myth 9 You should do a juice cleanse to detox FACT Our bod-ies are extremely smart and have built-in processes for detoxing every day says Kristen Carlucci RD reg-istered dietitian and nutrition expert for Pitney Bowes Inc

Yes people lose weight on juice cleanses but not because of any mir-acle ingredient or because your body is cleared of toxins that are slowing

down your metabolism Weight lost during a cleanse is most likely

a result of taking in far fewer calories than

usual While fill-ing up on fruits

and vegetables is a positive thing the problem with juice cleanses is that they are a tem-porary fix They donrsquot teach you the balanced nutrition habits you should be forming in order to lose weight and keep it off for good Carlucci says

Myth 10 Carbs are the en-emy FACT With the onset of the low-carb diet craze many people deny themselves this major food group This concept is misunder-stood because itrsquos not the carbohy-drates themselves that cause weight gain itrsquos the fact that for many of us itrsquos difficult to control the portion sizes Carlucci says

Instead of cutting out carbs alto-gether (which does not sound fun at all) focus on choosing the right carbs in the proper portions Stick with whole-grain pastas and breads (each slice should have 100 calories or less and should contain at least 3 grams of fiber) and try to fill no more than 14 of your plate with starch Limit pasta to 1 cup cooked and choose potatoes that are about the size of a computer mouse

The 10 Most Misunderstood Diet and Fitness Strategies Fatty Acid Found in Fish Prevents Age-

Related Vision Loss Study Suggests

ScienceDaily (May 30 2012) mdash An omega-3 fatty acid found in fish known as DHA prevented age-relat-ed vision loss in lab tests according to recent medical research from the University of Alberta

Yves Sauveacute a researcher in the Faculty of Medicine amp Dentistry and his team discovered that lab models fed DHA did not accumulate a toxic molecule at the back of the eyes The toxin normally builds up in the retina with age and causes vision loss

ldquoThis discovery could result in a very broad therapeutic userdquo says Sauveacute whose work was recently published in the peer-reviewed jour-nal Investigative Ophthalmology amp Visual Science

ldquoIn normal aging this toxin increases twofold as we age But in lab tests there was no increase in this toxin whatsoever This has never been demonstrated before -- that supplementing the diet with DHA could make this kind of differencerdquo

The team recently started another study looking at people who have age-related macular degeneration a condition that results in loss of central vision and is the main cause of blindness in people over the age of 50 The researchers will look for DNA markers in the blood of study participants The team wants to determine whether participants with certain genetic markers will respond better to increasing amounts of DHA in their diet and if so why

Sauveacute is a researcher in the departments of ophthalmology and physiology at the U of A

Various organizations funded the research the primary funder was the Canadian Institutes of Health Research

Courtesy of WebMD -- Who doesnrsquot enjoy a tall cool glass of juice The color is vibrant the taste sweet and itrsquos good for you too Not so fast say some dietitians Although the best kinds of juice deliver a bounty of vitamins the worst are hardly better than liquid candy WebMD helps you spot the difference

Drinking your veggies is a conve-nient way to add powerful plant-based nutrients to your diet The lycopene in tomato juice appears to lower the risk of prostate cancer Beet juice may reduce blood pres-sure Pulpy vegetable juice is also packed with fiber that can help con-trol hunger And all of these benefits come without a catch Vegetable juice has far less sugar and fewer calories than the typical fruit juice but it is high in sodium unless you choose the low salt version

Be on alert for the terms juice cocktail juice-flavored beverage or juice drink Most of these prod-ucts contain only small amounts of real juice The main ingredients are usually water and some type of sugar such as high-fructose corn syrup Nutritionally these drinks are similar to most soft drinks mdash rich in sugar and calories but low in nutri-ents Research suggests that sug-ary fruit drinks put kids at risk for obesity and related health problems The 2010 Dietary Guidelines recom-mends water over sugary drinks

If yoursquore only going to drink one glass of juice each day you want to make it a good one So letrsquos ex-plore which juices offer the biggest nutritional payoff per sip Pomegran-ate juice tops the list Itrsquos high in sugar and calories but delivers an abundant dose of antioxidants These substances appear to protect brain function and may ward off cancer In one study 8 ounces of pomegranate juice daily reduced the recurrence of prostate cancer

Cranberry juice is packed with vitamin C which is vital to a healthy immune system There is also evidence to support a folk remedy -- drinking unsweetened cranberry juice may help reduce your risk of urinary tract infections

Substances in blueberries may help keep the brain healthy In a small study researchers looked at the effect of blueberry juice on memory in adults in their seven-ties who had age-related memory decline Those who drank 2 12 cups of blueberry juice for 12 weeks had significant improvement on learning and memory tests compared to those who drank a non-juice beverage So choose blueberry juice to boost brain health

Researchers have only begun look-ing into the health benefits of acai juice which is made from a berry found in South America But early studies are promising Acai pulp appears to have a higher concentra-tion of antioxidants than cranber-ries blackberries strawberries or blueberries

Besides delivering a wealth of antioxidants some berry juices appear to have anti-inflammatory properties According to one study drinking cherry juice before and after your work-out can reduce exercise-induced muscle pain

Wersquove all heard that red wine in moderation can be good for the heart The same is true of red grape juice Red grape juice contains po-tent antioxiodants -- flavanoids and resveratrol The key is that wine and juice are made with the entire grape -- seeds skin and all When you eat fresh grapes you miss out on nutri-ents hiding in the seeds

Another viable folk remedy prune juice has long been recommended to relieve constipation It works because itrsquos extremely high in fiber and contains a natural laxative called sorbitol But the benefits of prune juice donrsquot stop there The juice is also packed with antioxidants iron and potassium

Itrsquos a staple at breakfast but does this popular juice carry its weight The good news is orange juice is loaded with vitamin C a star for its immune-boosting benefits In addition orange juice is often forti-fied with calcium and vitamin D nutrients that strengthen the bones

This is the most important global tech-nology event of the year I have attended it every year for more than a decade now It had grown in terms of atten-dance and exhibit participation annually since I started going

During the International CES 2012 there were more than 140000 of us at-tending For International CES 2013 it is expected to attract more than 150000 top executives retail buyers content providers entertainment executives venture capitalists engineers govern-ment offi cials and media from 150 countries

Innovations Inventions and Initia-tives in several aspects of life will be on display New innovations in hardware software and apps cloud computing lifestyle technologies digital health and automotive technologies will be featured

As I have described in my previ-ous articles attending the likes of the International CES is like witnessing ldquolittle miraclesrdquo created and performed by fi nite beings as if guided by some Infi nite Being

I always enjoyed watching the demos of new products either vying to be in the Top 10 Gadgets Standing or just exhibit-ing them in their respective booths

It is always nice to see the best Mobile Apps demonstrated by developers and analyze their relevance as tools to inform or be informed to educate and be educated to entertain and be enter-tained and to be effi cient and effective

As a member of Press I am lucky to be provided with samples of some of the new products and technologies for review I also get to interview the CEOs of the companies that are launching and demonstrating their new gadgets

The 2013 CES will feature 3000 global technology companies unveiling the latest consumer technology products and services Among the major catego-ries of these products are electronic gaming entertainmentcontent digital imagingphotography connected home technologies automotive electronics audio video TV and many more

The new President of PANASONIC Kazuhiro Tsuga will deliver the Open-ing Keynote Address He is expected to address the ldquoopportunities ahead for consumer electronicsrdquo

Tsugarsquos address will follow the State of the CE Industry keynote address by Gary Shapiro president and CEO of CEA which organizes runs and owns the celebrated conference

Samsungrsquos President Stephen Woo will also deliver a Keynote Address to open day two of the conference He will present his ldquoinsight on the role of com-ponents in enabling consumer product innovationsrdquo

I expect Samsung to launch and unveil during the conference some new products and technologies that would affect the lives of consumers in the years to come

I will update you on the other speak-ers as we get closer to the event

Most importantly let me remind you again ndash register now Do not miss the opportunity of a lifetime

The brave non-violence of the

Subaanen peopleby Fr Shay Cullen PREDA

Some thousands of indigenous people all over the Philippines es-pecially in Mindanao especially the Subaanen people on the Zamboanga Peninsula have struggle for years to stop mining corporations from moving in to explore and mine the mountains and hills They are victims of corrupt government offi cials and even judges who are captivated by the vested inter-est of the mining industry

Some Indigenous people are sadly being forced to turn to armed resis-tance as the mining corporations move into their lands The Subaanen people have remained steadfastly non-violent and turned to the rule of law and trust in the constitution to protect them and their rightsBut is it enough

Hundreds of thousands of hectares of ancestral land has been threatened by the illegal and corrupt acts of some offi cials of the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Allegedly some of these offi cials are not on the side of the people in Mindanao but are for the rich and powerful mining interests and the banks that fund them

They allegedly enrich themselves by giving mining permits to companies

over ancestral lands which is forbidden by law It is at this level in the provinc-es where the anti-corruption campaign of President Aquino is weakest He has deposed a former president and a chief Justice but not yet the corrupt offi cials in Mindanao While the president is dedicated and honestly trying to clean up the stinking garbage of corrup-tion he cannot seemingly oust these entrenched offi cials the henchmen and women of powerful political families

They do not have allegiance to their department cabinet secretary or the president In fact they are ones who defy the president and are the hardest to get rid off The presidents politi-cal allies could be behind the corrupt practices that is opening the way for the illegal logging and issuance of mining permits They are pushing the president to override the provincial governments bans on open pit mining He must resist this pressure

Mining companies that get a permit to explore and mine also get a logging permit for the cutting the trees in the area alloted to them for mining This is totally destructive and is a way around the presidential ban on logging which goes on unabated Just drive through Mindanao and you will pass twenty or thirty huge trucks hauling cut logs I have seen them myself

For many years the Subaanen people and their supporters have stood peace-fully for their rights courageously and bravely to stop the local dynastic families and their cronies in the Inter-national mining industry from mining

their ancestral lands The Subaanen have been non-violent and trusted the democratic rule of law to save them

Their breakthrough cam in August 2011 when the Supreme Court of the Philippines granted a Writ of Ka-likasan (A protection of nature) to the people to protect the environment of the whole of the Zamboanga Peninsu-la A Writ of Kalikasan is a powerful legal remedy under Philippine law which provides for the protection ones right to a balanced and health-ful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature as provided for in Section 16 Article II of the Philippine Constitution It protects ones right for a healthy environment against damage of such magnitude that it threatens life health or property of inhabitants in two or more cities or provinces But the government of-fi cials are ignoring the Supreme Court order

Bishop Jiminez and three other bishops and an archbishop signed a letter to the London based sharehold-ers of the mining company RTZ-CRA trying to get the offi cials to stop the mining and logging wrote to the shareholders

In part he letter said ŠSince the company has the right to expatriate all the profi ts you the shareholders will probably earn some money However many of our people who own the lands where all the minerals are will become paupers Our rivers and seas

In travelling the countryside or while you are crossing the street driving your car taking the subway bedridden in the hospital or stuck in prison dont forget to say your Rosary every day Let the beads slip between your fi ngers they also slip between the fi n-gers of the Holy Father at the Vatican those of a grandmoth-er in Alaska a child on a hill in Rwanda a football player on a fi eld in Rio a Carthusian monk in his cell a Carmelite in her cloister or young evangelists on a mission

The Rosary is the certainly the prayer of the poor and the small the

sick and the suffering par excel-lence Yes always and everywhere not only in space but also in time The latitudes of the planet and longi-

tudes of history crisscross

The Hail Mary has moistened the lips of mil-lions of all ages races and nations How many chil-dren learned it as their fi rst prayer How many of the

dying whispered it as their ultimate testament The Hail Mary is a syn-thesis of two fi rst names Mary and Jesus

Father Daniel Ange

Never Forget to Say Your Rosary Everyday

Daily Meditation Listening With

Our Wounds To enter into solidarity with a suf-

fering person does not mean that we have to talk with that person about our own suffering Speaking about our own pain is seldom helpful for someone who is in pain A wounded healer is someone who can listen to a person in pain without having to speak about his or her own wounds When we have lived through a pain-ful depression we can listen with great attentiveness and love to a depressed friend without mentioning our experience Mostly it is better not to direct a suffering persons attention to ourselves We have to trust that our own bandaged wounds will allow us to listen to others with our whole beings That is healing

July 10 2012 Daily Meditation Text excerpts taken from Bread for the Journey by Henri JM Nouwen copy1997 HarperSanFrancisco All Scripture from The Jerusalem Bible copy1966 1967 and 1968 Darton Longman amp Todd and Doubleday amp Co Inc

Q How do you describe a luke-warm soul

A Jesus said lukewarm souls are souls who if He can only vomit out He will They are the souls He wanted to vomit out when He was in calvary Like in Geth-semane He said if it is only possible that He will not have to drink the cup He will not drink from it because these are the souls who are already in the light but decided to transfer to darkness That is why our Lord said what these souls are doing is the most hurting thing for Him

Q What makes Jesus happy

A What makes Jesus happy is if you can love your enemy Because how can you face God and beg for His mercy if you are not also merciful The truth is it is very diffi cult to love our enemy But there is a secret And the secret is fi rst of all we have to conquer our selves The truth is our num-ber one enemy is ourselves

because pride is in us hatred is in us all the negative are in us But if you are able to conquer your self if we are

able to defeat ourselves it means we do not have anymore pride no more hatred no more envy no more nega-tive and if all the negative are gone

it will be very easy to love your enemy

The truth is it is very easy to say ldquo I forgive yourdquo but it only comes from the mouth Deep inside the negatives are still in your heart and if it is not removed it will remain with you forever That is why you need to remove the negative You can only remove these if you love your enemy Because if you love your enemy ev-erytime you pray he is always included in your prayer and everytime you pray for your enemy slowly the thorn is be-ing removed and if the thorn is removed completely that will make Jesus very happy

To love an enemy means it is not necessary to like Just pray for him Do not say anything against him

a good chance that we will be able to extend this forward momentum as we anticipate better fi rst-half earnings from our listed fi rms The latest sovereign credit rating up-grade also provides additional support for future growth so overall I think we are in a terrifi c position to keep on im-provingrdquo PSE president Hans Sicat said in a press statement

Last July 5 the PSEi again beat its previous record high to post a fresh all-time high at 536998 As of July 6 the PSEi was the top performing market in Asia with a gain of 227 percent year-to-date beating bourses in Singapore Indonesia Malaysia Thailand Vietnam Hong Kong India and China among others

In the fi rst six months cyclical stocks banking and property led the PSEirsquos rise in the fi rst quarter albeit all indices were on the green

The fi nancial index emerged as the best performer in the fi rst half after surging by 346 percent to the 130442 level The fi nancial index was likewise the best performer in terms of bot-tomline based on fi rst-quarter earnings culled by the PSE

The next best performer was the property index which jumped by 301 percent to fi nish at 192748 in the fi rst half

The holding fi rms index rose by 281 percent to the 448880 level

Other indices performed as follows in the fi rst six months the industrial index rallied by 108 percent to fi nish at 783957 the services index climbed by 88 percent to 175902 -the mining and oil index crept higher by 48 percent to 2462948 points

ldquoJust like our main index investor confi dence in Philippines Inc is at an all-time high Whatrsquos remarkable is that we have been able to achieve unprec-edented growth even in the midst of ongoing uncertainties in the Western hemisphere and a cooling Chinese economy This is a testament to the effectiveness of the reforms that the country has undertaken which further contributed to the stable macroeconomic environmentrdquo Sicat said

The PSEirsquos fi nish in the fi rst six months was higher by 95520 points from its previous close of 429121 in the same period last year

The combined market capitalization of issues listed on the PSE during the January to June period stood at P1005 trillion up by 128 percent from a year ago

Total turnover for the fi rst half reached P94773 billion or 432 percent higher than the P66181 billion registered in the same period the previous year Average daily turnover stood at P764 billion an increase of 455 percent year-on-year

Skyscanner saidRussia got 17 percent and

10 percent for UKldquoRussians can be more direct when

talking which may be misconstrued as being ruderdquo said Tatiana Da-nilova Russian market manager for Skyscanner ldquoHowever this is more a difference in culture than genuine rudenessrdquo

Danilova attributed this to the Russian language which ldquois not as polite as Englishhelliprdquo

ldquoSo when Russians translate directly from Russian to English it can sound rude to an English speaker even if they donrsquot mean it tordquo Danilova ldquoRussians tend to consider British people extremely polite due to their courteous way of speakingrdquo

I once asked my mentor how I could repay him for his kindness He told me to help 100 other people and my debt would be repaid in full Irsquod like to help at least a million people It is great to be recognized by your peers but I feel I should be recognizing the commu-nity for their steadfast and unwavering support for me and my colleagues at IW Grouprdquo said Bill Imada Chairman amp CEO IW Group Inc - Philanthropy Leadership honoree

In spite of the challenging fundraising environment APCF was successful at raising more than $150000 that was dis-tributed among its 29 Affi liate Agencies which provide health and human ser-vices to Asian and Pacifi c Islander (API) and other ethnic communities in need throughout Los Angeles County The mission of APCF is to build healthier and stronger API communities working with its affi liates corporate and commu-nity partners and individuals to generate resources for this often overlooked and under-served population

In addition special grant presentations were made by Verizon and Walmart totaling $100000 For the second year Verizon is funding APCFrsquos scholarship program for students pursuing higher education in the science technology engineering and math related fi elds In a time when students are faced with signifi cantly rising costs of obtaining a college degree it is important that there is support for these students in the Asian and Pacifi c Islander communities A total of $25000 in scholarship awards will be given out in 2012

Shooting StarPoem No 9

I wish I was a shooting star streaking through the night sky

Being here and there in brief fl ash of light

And really nowhere to be found

Me in your life being caught in your universe

Running around in circles ever nearing your space

Seeking the face by which I am doomed to certain death

Like a fl ash like a bang I am nowhere to be found

Me in your life caught in your universe streaking aimlessly

towards destruction envying the celestial dance between Moon

and Sun Sun and earth earth and heaven seeking freedom

from my desolated journey in you I found destruction through

my destruction I found my freedom

Seaoil karter Gabriel Cabrera along with fellow Filipino Flynn Jackes fi nally ended the half a decade title drought for the Philippines in the Mini-ROK class of the Asian Karting Open Championshipsrsquo opening leg at the Kartodromo de Coloane in Macau The 5-leg international race series is regarded as the most prestigious karting tilt in Asia

Racing abroad for the fi rst time 12 year old Cabrera topped the time trials at 103674 despite the absence of a coach and with only his chief mechanic Joesefi lo Bariquit in tow

The Philippines enjoyed a momentous 1-2-3 moment at the time trials with Cabrera grabbing pole position followed by Xedrei Daquigan in second and Flynn Jackes in third

Enduring an abdomen injury incurred from a crash during the fi nals warm-up Cabrera nevertheless decided to continue to race in the fi nals Surging to 2nd place from 5th in the fi nal grid the excruciating pain however led Cabrera to slip to 4th place by the end of the race

Although bowing to Jackes for the top spot Cabrerarsquos admirable show of resilience and perseverance endeared him to fans and foes alike who knew of his injury In true AKOC camaraderie Cabrera even found an unlikely ally in Taiwanese rival Lin Tsen Han who along with his crew immediately as-

sisted Cabrera as he fi nally collapsed in pain at the weigh-in area

ldquoThere is no such thing as a broken spirit only broken bones But not even that can stop a Filipino karterrsquos will to winrdquo says Cabrera as he was whisked off to the Kiang Wu Hospital to receive emergency medical treatment

He eventually was stable enough to return to the track a few hours later in time to receive his 3rd runner-up trophy at the awarding ceremonies Cabrera is the son of Los Angeles-based business-man Richard Cabrera and is slated to compete in the seriesrsquo second leg later this month in Manila

Cabrera Win Hearts In Asian Karting

Chief mechanic Joesefi le Bariquit and Gabriel Cabrera with kart-ing trophy at the Asian Karting Open Championship during opening leg in Macau China

by Steven Buller KIvaorgAccording to a recent article in Ma-

laya Business Insight a Filipino news-paper there were 9050 bank facilities operating in the Philippines at the end of 2011 At the same time there were 15600 pawnshops and 9500 licensed

money changers that were licensed to provide fi nancial services such as remittance transactions and bill pay-ments

The Philippines are fragmented by nature The country has 7000 islands 2000 of which are inhabited Since most banks are in urban areas reaching clients on the smaller remote islands can be extremely diffi cult and costly In a country where the savings rate is abysmal many people depend on credit for everyday expenses Non-bank facilities like pawnshops which are regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (or BSP the Philippines central bank) fi ll this gap

The BSP is currently considering allowing convenience stores or ldquosari-sari shopsrdquo to become banking agents as well They would be allowed to offer a variety of services including handling remittance transactions As nearly one out of 10 Filipinos lives and works abroad remittance transactions represent a huge portion of demand for fi nancial services In fact the Philip-

pines is one of the top fi ve recipients of remittances globally receiving about USD$19 billion annually

While this informal part of the banking sector certainly promotes fi nancial inclusion the BSP has made efforts to formalize the industry In 2010 it passed an amendment to certain banking regulations allowing for banks to establish microbanking offi ces (ldquoMBOsrdquo) MBOs are much smaller and cheaper to set up than bank branches They also offer a wider range of services that are important to Filipinos including microinsurance electronic money transfers social secu-rity payouts and savings products

the maintenance of peace and stability respect for interna-tional law and unimpeded lawful commerce in the South China Seardquo

Clinton welcomed the meeting saying a slew of joint initiatives including disaster relief forestry policy and disease control were ldquoan important signal that the US and China not only can but will work together in Asiardquo

No threats and intimidationClinton also urged claimant

countries not to resort to threats and intimidation an indirect reference to China

ldquoWe believe the nations of the region should work collabora-tively and diplomatically to resolve disputes without coercion without intimidation without threats and without use of forcerdquo Clinton said

ldquoIssues such as freedom of navi-gation and lawful exploitation of maritime resources often involve a wide region and approaching them strictly bilaterally could be a recipe for confusion and even confronta-tionrdquo Clinton added

The US said stability is its concern in the waterway which carries $5 trillion in ship-borne trade account-ing for half the worldrsquos shipping tonnage

ldquoThe United States is going to be very clear in our determination to see progress on the code of conduct between those negotiations that are taking place between China and ASEANrdquo a senior US State Depart-ment offi cial told reporters earlier this week

Clearly outline positionClinton likewise urged ASEAN na-

tions ldquoto clearly outline its position on the Scarborough Shoalrdquo and ldquoto complete a regional code of conduct in a timely fashionrdquo

She warned about serious prob-lems to the regional bloc if ASEAN fails to address the challenge

ldquoWhat might be a challenge today for some of ASEANrsquos members if left unaddressed by all of ASEAN could lead tomorrow to issues that may become problems for other ASEAN membersrdquo she said

Clinton said the US ldquolooks to ASEAN and claimant states to provide leadership in this issue and recognizes the important role of the ASEAN chairman to fi nd consensus and advance a common ASEAN positionrdquo

ldquoASEAN needs to meet its own goals and standards and be able to speak with one voice on issues fac-ing the regionrdquo Clinton said

ASEANrsquos 10 members announced earlier this week that they have drafted a set of rules governing maritime rights and navigation and procedures for when governments disagree But China is not a member of the group and hasnrsquot agreed to anything

The ASEAN countries are present-

ing their proposal to China at this weekrsquos conference in Cambodiarsquos capital though Beijing will probably want to water down any language that ties its hands

For the US the diffi cult diplomacy ahead could be a major test of the Obama administrationrsquos efforts to ldquopivotrdquo American power toward the worldrsquos most populous continent Just speaking out on the subject already has helped the US deepen ties with Vietnam and relations are warming with other governments in the region

But countless meetings between American and Chinese offi cials have not led to progress on a lasting solution

Various longstanding disputes among China the Philippines Viet-nam Taiwan Malaysia and Brunei involve the arearsquos busy sea-lanes and many observers fear the compli-cated web of disputes could spark a violent confl ict

The standoff between China and the Philippines in Panatag (Scarbor-ough) Shoal began in April when the Philippines accused Chinese fi sher-men of poaching in its exclusive economic zone including the shoal During the tensions both sides sent government ships to the area though both have since withdrawn vessels

Vietnam has protested a recent an-nouncement by the China National Offshore Oil Corp opening nine oil and gas lots for international bidders in areas overlapping with existing Vietnamese exploration blocks Viet-nam says the lots lie entirely within its 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone and continental shelf

When conditions are ripeWith the ASEAN set to start

negotiations with China on a code of conduct Beijing said it is willing to work with member countries ldquowhen the conditions are riperdquo

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokes-person Liu Weimin said in a press conference in Beijing Monday that the code of conduct is not for the resolution of disputes in the West Philippine Sea

ldquoI would like to emphasize that the code of conduct aims not at resolv-ing the South China Sea disputes but boosting mutual trust and coopera-tion between the parties concerned in a joint bid to maintain peace and stability in the South China Seardquo Liu said

Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario for his part told the ASEAN meeting that ldquothe adher-ence of all countries in the region to a set of fair and transparent rules as embodied in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea will generate greater mutual trust and respect in the regionrdquo ndash AP Pia Lee-Brago

survive one must have a job but for one to prosper one must engage in business

For this I am not worried about my daughter She will never be unemployed a victim of closing or streamlining companies She has her own business with no overheads and she is in a higher notch than when she started and contin-ues to spiral up in her virtual store

Of course this is not for everyone This is not for the comfortable not for those who do not blaze trails not for the non-dreamers defi nitely not for those who choose to be with the ninety-fi ve percent of society who choose to be ordinary

Only fi ve percent of society dares to swim against the tides These are the likes of Steve Jobs Donald Trump Bill Gates and others like those who became millionaires in Amway

Knowing my daughter and if I am not mistaken I predict that she will persevere and succeed She is guided by the Scriptures and books written by those who have made it She is so disci-plined that she does not even watch TV She says Jessica Sanchez and Manny Pacquaio will not help her become fi -nancially free They could entertain you but when you go back to reality you are still in whatever state you are

AS THE BAMBOOS SWAY By Rudy D Liporada

A couple from church introduced Am-way to me in 1987 They showed a plan telling me that I could be a millionaire in two to fi ve years if I buy from my own store ndash soaps (both laundry and body) beauty products vitamins and many more ndash and share the dream with others

I did not care I just landed in America just two weeks before I came to Amer-ica to work in pursuit of my own kind of dream Besides even if I wanted to I did not have $8000 then to register plus I did not have lsquoothersrsquo to share dreams with

Fast forward to late 2010 My only daughter and youngest of my children then 18 gets wind of Amway She asks for $16700 so she could register to be-come what Amway calls an Independent Business Owner Although reluctant I shelled out the money After all it was not for drugs or something like that Then she tells us among others to buy from her store what we would be buying from other stores anyway Why make the other stores profi t when we should be patronizing her store The prices were competitive She changed our soaps toothpastes her momrsquos make-up kit drinks vitamins etc I did not really care To me shaving cream is shaving

cream laundry soap is laundry soap My daughter is happy I am happy

What I did not really know was she was growing her market She had others join her in her dream

In late 2010 she had to attend an Amway convention in Portland Oregon with her dozen team members ndash no one was over 21 years old They were going on a long drive for eighteen hours They needed two vans but no rent-a-car would allow them to rent the vehicles Grudg-ingly I acceded to her request that I and her mom rent one each of those vans and might as well join them ndash might as well be in the convention

And so we were there In front of ten thousand participants

couple after couple testifi ed how they realized their dream sharing Amway products They were former waitresses accountants doctors construction workers Navy Seals etc On gargantuan screens they fl aunted their villas jets yachts high end cars and their pleasure trips around the world They said that through patience and hard work for two to fi ve years they sailed to becoming millionaires ndash now waking up whenever they want and being full time moms and dads

I believed them If only one of them would be lying in front of ten thousand people the institution Amway would crumble down

Then I was angry There was this guy same as my age was a teacher like me He was on the stage as a millionaire and I was down there listening to him and I have nothing to show He got into Amway in the middle 90rsquos Deng It was introduced to me in 1987

I started reading their brochures and catalogs I came to the conclusion that mathematically you could really get rich doing this thing All you needed is the belief the emotional quotient strive patience and most of all your dreams

Nonetheless beyond the business be-yond the products beyond the dreams I treasure most what Amway has done to my daughter Instead of continuing to party like most of her peers she is reading the Bible upon waking up and follows this up with management and business related books She is in power business cloths instead of showing her belly buttons Most important before Amway she fi ghts with her mom Now they are the best of friends

So I tell my friends and acquaintances about Amway and its products Most of them because the company has been there for over 50 years have heard of it have been into it and have notions about it This is because Amway is the mother of networking and Amway stands for the American Way

Most of them too after I show or reshow them the product benefi ts and the principle of buying from your own store go back to Amway if they have been there before The main thing is all of them agree to the greatness of the products and appreciate the evolved and developed marketing system of the com-pany ndash for those in the know one does not have to horde products anymore to sell everything now is done on-line And if you are not computer suave one in the organization will do it for you because you at least know how to use your cell phone or you can directly call in the orders

Robert T Kiyosaki in his book Rich Dad Poor Dad says that in order for one to be fi nancially free one must have a business He means for one to only

Words to Live By

Sa Aking Buhay (7)Sa aking buhay malimit akong maging atubili lalo na sa ikatatahimik nitong aking budhimay takot at pag-aalala aking mga sandalituloy magagandang bagay nakalampas ng madali

Sa aking buhay iniwasang pilit ang magkamali ang anuman gagawin korsquoy pag-iisipan ng mulikahit magdamagan pa ang gagawaing pagsusurisulit ang lahat bastarsquot walang mararamdamang hapdi

Sa aking buhay napagtanto ko ng tunay na tunayna kailanpaman ay walang lugar ang kasamaandahil kung mali din lamang ang tunay mong dahilanay talagang walang maganda itong kahihinatnan

Sa aking buhay natuklasan kong lsquodi lahat ng oras na dahil sa ang pakiramdam mo ngayon ay masarapay nakakasiguro kang magiging ayos ang lahatkasi hindi palaging ganoon ang nagiging wakas

Sa aking buhay ay aking napagwari ng taimtimna sa lsquoyong buhay ano nga ba ang tunay mong layunindahil sa kung ito ay lihis sa dakilang gawainang katotohanarsquoy wala ka talagang mararating

Ngayon kung maitatanong ko naman----- sa buhay mo

Joke of the Week Bill had a good friend who was a minister of long years standing They used to josh one another occasionally ldquoYou reverend think yoursquore so hotrdquo said Bill one day ldquoAfter all yoursquore only about 50 percent effective About half of the babies you baptize donrsquot stay Christians about half of the adults you convert donrsquot stay con-verted and about half the people you marry donrsquot stay marriedrdquo ldquoWersquore 100 percent on one pointrdquo answered his minister friend ldquoIf I were a bet-ting man Irsquod give you 1000 to1odds that all the people we bury stay buriedrdquo

Scriptures First Reading Jer-emiah 23 1-6 In Jeremiahrsquos time the people of the northern kingdom of Israel had been exiled to Assyria and the Israelites in the southern kingdom of Judah had been deported to Babylon There were lots of dev-astated lives and broken hearts The kings and leaders did not live up as true shepherds The prophet speaks of hope out of this dismal condi-tion God will raise a new shepherd who will rule with righteousness and unite Israel and Judah Sec-ond Reading Ephesians 2 13-18 Through Christ all religious barriers between Hebrews and non-Hebrews or Gentiles are now demolished Through Christrsquos redemptive work of salvation and reconciliation those who are ldquofar offrdquo and ldquonearrdquo are now brought together All have access to the Father with the Spirit

Gospel Mark 6 30-34 In the fi rst reading God renews the promise he made to his people 1) to bless hu-manity by bringing it back to a land where it can bear fruit abundantly

(an allusion to Genesis) 2) to raise a new king who shall rule his people justly and rightly (a promise made to Abraham and David) Christian view the blessing at creation story of Gen-esis and the promise of a new leader are both fulfi lled in Jesus Christ

Refl ections The Hebrew word for shepherd does not only mean a king and ruler it also connotes the notion of feeding defending caring

and providing Jeremiah denounced the shepherds of his time who cared for themselves alone and not for the fl ock that were entrusted to them From the Christian point of view Jesus Christ is the shepherd who restores hope to new Israel In turn Jesus wants his apostles to continue his shepherding mission

Reginald Fuller commented that in this Marcan passage the term ldquoapostlesrdquo was not originally a title but a function Jeremiah condemned Zedekiah and the last kings of Judah as shepherds who have misled the people These corrupt shepherds paid more attention to their own selfi sh vested interests than those of the fl ock The Marcan passage is implying that the apostles should

avoid committing the same serious mistake In Matthew 23 6-7 Jesus told his disciples ldquoThey (Scribes and Pharisees) love places of honor at banquets seats of honor in syna-gogues greetings in marketplaces and the salutation lsquoRabbirsquordquo The apostles are told not to put more emphasis on title such as ldquoapostlerdquo and less on responsibilities that come with it Instead they should put more weight on their duties and responsibilities Titles such as ldquodoctor teachers bishop reverend engineer lawyerrdquo denote functions and responsibilities But when a title gains more prominence than the re-sponsibilities that come with it title divides rather than unites people

PSYCHOLOGISTS HAVE PROPOSED THE FASCINATING CONCEPT OF THE DYAD (Greek dyacuteo ldquotwordquo) or bi-polar archetype Common functionaries such as doc-torpatient lawyerclient ministerparishioner and parents children are some archetypal roles Many of these roles are essentially linked to a partnering archetype hence the term dyad archetype To stress the supe-rior pole of the archetype doctor lawyer minister and parents over the other pole patient client parish-ioner and children breaks the dyad and negatively impacts both poles For instance a doctor who fails to recognize that there is a ldquophysi-cianrdquo in his patient breaks down the therapeutic relationship between him and his patient The same is true with a teacher who fails to see that he too is a ldquostudentrdquo who can learn from his students Ministers who forget that they too are in need of salvation treat their parishioners as inferiors Parents become domineer-ing and overbearing when they fail to learn from their children On the other hand the dyad is also broken when the inferior pole is emphasized over the superior pole When both poles recognize each otherrsquos strength and draw energies to enhance each otherrsquos well being there is true heal-ing learning ministering parenting and spirituality

We read in todayrsquos Gospel that Jesus invited his apostles to take a break from their tiresome activities Likewise we seek scenic vistas sun-ny beaches quiet and private places

to relax and unwind Leonardo da Vinci wrote ldquoEvery now and then go away have a little relaxation for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose power of judgment hellip Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be take in at a glance and lack of harmony or proportion is more readily seenrdquo Jesus mindful of his apostlesrsquo need for a breather after a hectic mission asked them to rest a while It was a rest aimed at energizing the apostles with the divine presence that would enable them to be more effective in their mission Onersquos summer vacation can also be an occasion to recharge our spiritual battery

ldquoNot without design does God write the music of our lives Be it ours to learn the time and not be discouraged at the rests If we say sadly to ourselves lsquoThere is no music in a restrsquo let us not forget there is the making of music in it The making of music is often a slow and painful process in this life How patiently God works to teach us How long He waits for us to learn the lessonrdquo (John Ruskin)

Quotation of the Week ldquoIf you keep a bow always bent it will break eventually but if you let it go slack it will be fi t for use when you want itrdquo Aesop

Spirituality in Dyadic Relationship

Spiritual Courage

Courage is connected with taking

risks Jumping the Grand Can-yon on a motorbike coming over Niagara Falls in a barrel or crossing the ocean in a rowboat are called courageous acts because people risk their lives by doing these things But none of these daredevil acts comes from the centre of our being They all come from the desire to test our physical limits and to become famous and popular

Spiritual courage is something completely different It is following the deepest desires of our hearts at the risk of losing fame and popular-ity It asks of us the willingness to lose our temporal lives in order to gain eternal life

Cayabyab lauds ABS-CBN Philharmonic

OrchestraABS CBN News | MANILA Phil-

ippines -- Acclaimed composer Ryan Cayabyab lauded the newly formed ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra which will make its fi rst major public debut at the ldquoIcons at the Arenardquo con-cert at the SM Mall of Asia Arena

Rehearsing this afternoon was a breeze The rare event on Saturday combines only the best Filipino art-ists together in the concert with the best musicians of the ABS-CBN Phil-harmonic What more can I ask for as musical director Ang ganda at ang sarap ng tugtuganrdquo said Cayabyab who is the musical director of

the all-star OPM concertCayabyab who composed OPM

classics such as Kay Ganda ng Ating Musika called the orchestra the newest most exciting addition to the top artists of the Kapamilya Network

He praised the orchestra members as arguably the best crossover musi-cians of the country who can perform all types and genres of music led by

a formidable music director Gerard Salonga

Early this year ABS-CBN and First Philippine Holdings Inc joined hands to promote an advocacy for Filipinos to connect and experience ldquorealrdquo and ldquogoodrdquo music Thus the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra was created to defy the notion that a full orches-tra is only limited to classical music

The 40-piece musical ensemble is also a fi rst in the history of ABS-CBN

ABS-CBN chairman Eugenio ldquoGabbyrdquo Lopez III stressed that the orchestra aims to provide music of the highest caliber to the general audience

ABS-CBN president Charo Santos-Concio on the other hand expressed her full support for the orchestra

and her optimism that this will be a signifi cant platform to celebrate the character and soul of Filipino music

According to ABS-CBN Philhar-monic Orchestrarsquos executive director Mickey Muntildeoz the orchestra shall also service the performance and music needs of ABS-CBN such as concerts as well as the musical scor-ing for movies

Muntildeoz also revealed that a youth orchestra is also being formed to train indigent but talented young Pinoys to play musical instruments

(In the last chapter PMA cadet Julius Madrigal buys a bible as New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Carlo entered his room from his bath He donned on a t-shirt from his strewn clothes which he would have to pack the following day Over the shirt he pulled over a lengthwise striped sweater which made him appear taller than his five foot and a half frame He then went to the mirror and combed his still damp straight hair parting it on its left side He smiled checking his well set teeth He felt clean

Cleanliness is next to Godliness Monday after the New

Year he would be back to nearer Godliness His two weeks vacation would be over He would be back to where he would like to dedicate himself to be really next to Godli-ness

Again he would be back where everyday the brrriinnnggg brrr-riiiinnggg brrriinnnnggg wake up bell that permeates throughout the seminary walls would swirl into his eardrums and into his innermost soul jolting him to slide off the bed and be on his knees when sunrays slice through the windows of where he had confined himself to be nearer to Godliness Still in the throes of being awake his right hand flies to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Hail Mary full of gracehelliphe falls back into the abyss of nothingness but a second alarm ndash briiinnggg briiinggg brii-ingggg would bring back the swirl into his eardrums permeating into

his soul jolting him back to the re-ality that he is already on his knees Hail Mary full of gracehelliphas he said three already He would goad himself and fight against falling back into the abyss of nothingness for the umpteenth time Has he said three Hail Maries already He decides that since he had lost count he would complete three Hail Maries even if he already went over the count He would add an Our Father and a Glory Be

He gets up and staggers himself towards the exit of the dormitory towards the wash basins He passes other seminarians still in various pose of waking up on their knees or staggering out like himself The silkiness or fadedness of their paja-mas distinguishes who among them come from richer or poorer families

After freshening up he dons his white shirt and pants and black neck-tie He then marches out to join the other seminarians lining up in front of the chapel They appear like equal angels without wings Only tie clips shoes belts or brands of watches distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families

Equally mandated each one clasps his hands palms together on his chest They proceed to their assigned pews while cherubim like hymns fill the air

And the rite beginsDominus VobiscumhellipEt cum

spiritu tuohellipOra pro nobis kneelhellipsithellipstandhellipsit againhellipmostly kneel - all in sanctity to commune with the Spirit and the saints

By the offertory sanctity could be broken as Carlorsquos stomach as well as othersrsquo would growl pleading that the fangs of hunger be quelled But they have to wait though now find it hard to be in communion with the Spirit and the saints

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Finally it would be lsquoGo in peace the mass is endedrsquo

In seeking peace for their hunger they still have to be saintly tip-toe out of the chapel Their shoes then would scrape on the hallways in they dash to the dormitories in the rush to change into their school clothes

Now their over-all clothing demeanors ndash shirts pants sweaters socks shoes ndash starkly distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families Nonetheless richer or poorer they remained equal in the need to quell the fangs of hun-ger as they rush to the rectory hall

A sunny side two sausages fried rice from leftovers the night before crowd on each of the eight plates on each of the ten tables at the rec-tory The coffee would be soggy but would still be a welcome brew to enliven our breakfast which is equal for all The food they are about to receive from His bounty made them all equal except that there are also apples and juice and non soggy cof-fee at the head table where the Flem-ish rector Flemish assistant rector and Flemish principal are

Their stomachs would now really be howling gurgling clamoring for whatever they have to partake on but they all had to equally wait for the last seminarian to enter the dining hall half embarrassed half rever-ent The rector frowning for the delay would glare at the late comer before his right hand would fly to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Bless us Oh Lord in these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord Amen

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Amen

The last vestiges of reverence would now be broken as the ter-restrial need to fortify onersquos body takes precedence over the needs of the soul Chairs screech as the seminarians slide unto them Spoons and forks bang to scrape on eggs sausages and rice as they slide from the plates into munching mouths to mediate the growling gurgling stomachs

After a while Carlo would be satisfied with the egg two sausages fried rice and soggy coffee He would then have more time to often wonder why those Flemish priests also have apples juice and non soggy coffee while the seminar-ians do not Often he dismisses

the thought to just because they are already priests priests who are white because they have a different culture Nonetheless he often asks himself didnrsquot Jesus Christ share the same enliven bread and fish with his apostles

Often he would also feel guilty that having such kind of thoughts about inequality with the priests could be sacrilegious and wonders if he had to go to the con-fessional for that

Such thoughts however would vanish as he immerses himself with the day of classes ndash geometry Latin physics basketball volleyball lunch more studies ping-pong ro-sary and the long litanies and night prayers

The thoughts of inequality how-ever would invade his mind again the following day right after the br-riinnggg brrriinggg brriingggg and the regimen begins

And the regimen he would be go-ing back to made the short Christ-mas holiday break really shorter Nonetheless he had dedicated himself to the vocation and glad that no one or nothing during the vaca-tion made him feel that it was really short He had again passed the test of being out of the seminary walls with still the resolve that he would be going back for Godlinessrsquos sake

Vacations are not only respites from the sanctified isolationrsquos regimen They are tests to how one would not succumb to the calls of the human flesh in the outside world Should one not be able to resist temptations it would be better for one to fall away from the calling earlier than later after one is fully vested when the faithful would be subject to disillusionment

Nonetheless tonight Carlo would indulge in a simple call of the flesh He was ready for the dinner prepared by his mother one much better than the feasts of the priests

The MoringaMalunggay Tree with its edible leaves flowers and pods is one of most power packed nutritious trees in the world It goes by many different names drumkstick tree the Miracle tree the Never Die Tree the Miracle tree

I wrote an article on that subject here but it is also one of the most healing trees in the world All of the tree is ei-ther used for food medicine or cooking It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for hundreds of years to both prevent and treat almost 300 diseasesThe in-formation in this article is not based on double blind research but on the histori-cal and current usage of Moringa leaves flowers and pods in India and many other countries This is how the people have used it in the past and how they use it now Much of this information was observed and documented in the different health projects by physicians in their treatment of AIDS malnutrition and disease In India Ayurvedic physi-cians use it in their standard treatment protocols

How can Moringa leaves have an im-pact on so many problems Many health problems are due to poor nutrition malnutrition and imbalanced disease states which result in immune system breakdown and disease When you correct those imbalances and nutritional deficiencies with super packed nutritious food it is bound to improve health and disease states The ability for Moringa leaves flowers bark and pods to have such diverse healing effects is due to the vitamins minerals antioxidants and healing elements the tree contains

A review of Moringas power packed nutrition

Here is a nutritional breakdown of Fresh Moringa Leaves 7 times the Vitamin C of Oranges 4 times the Cal-cium of Milk 3 times the Potassium of Bananas 2 times the Protein of Yogurt 4 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and frac34 the iron of Spinach

Moringa leaves when dried become a even greater powerhouse of nutri-tion containing frac12 the Vitamin C of Oranges 17 times the Calcium of Milk 15 times the Potassium of Bananas 9 times the Protein of Yogurt 25 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and 20 times the Iron in Spinach All elements except the Vitamin C is increased when you dry the leaves under low temperatures Drying the leaves in direct sunlight decreases its nutritional values

How Moringa and Artemisia Annua Leaves benefit AIDS Patients

There are health projects going on

in Tanzania Musoma and other areas There is a real AIDS crisis in these areas In these AIDS cases the doctors have found that the combination of two herbs Moringa and Artemisia Annua improved the energy stamina and CD4 counts of the AIDS patients Some of their patients came in so weak they were not able to walk or care for them-selves They improved so dramatically that many were able to go back to work and many stayed to help the incoming patients These dramatic improvements were documented over and over again by the doctors in these health projects

How the herbs were used in the treat-ment protocols

The physicians combined dried Mor-inga Leaves with Artemisia Annua and then added one heaping teaspoonful of the powder to make a tea A liter of tea using 5 grams of the powder was given 3 times a day to the patient while the symptoms were acute Later when the patients improved it was reduced to a cup a day When you consider the super nutrition in Moringa leaves it is easy to understand how the Aids patients would improve The power packed nutrition would bolster their immune function strength stamina and ability to live a more normal active life

Moringa does NOT cure AIDS but helps the AIDS patient live longer and improves their quality of life and health Often the AIDS patient does not die from AIDS but from one of the opportunistinfections that prey on their compromised immune system

Moringa Leaves effects on blood pres-sure blood sugar breast milk produc-tion and anemia

In India the leaves are used to normalize blood pressure and to treat anxiety In 1994 a team of researchers identified a new nitride and mustard oil glycoside that demonstrated its ability to lower blood pressure

An infusion of the leaf is used to reduce sugar levels though not as ef-fectively as the standard hypoglycemia medicine

Moringa leaves mixed with honey then followed with coconut milk drunk 2 to 3 times a day is used for diarrhea dysentery and colitis

Moringa leaves have been observed and documented by doctors in the health projects to increase breast milk produc-tion and the health of nursing mothers This is due to the nutrition in the leaves especially the protein calcium and iron

Refreshing News | 7122012 -- Top experts separate the fact from myth once and for all--and reveal some surprises in the process Myth 1 Eating at Night Makes You Fat FACT If your overall calorie intake is appropriate for weight loss or maintenance it may benefit you to eat something after dinner says Joni Rampolla RD Director of Nu-trition and Wellness for Medifast

Late-night calories will ultimately get used the next day (and even while you sleep) To keep your en-ergy levels up it is better to spread your calories out during the day when your body needs fuel Aim to eat something every two or three hours This will stabilize blood sugar levels and help you feel full and energized all day

If you do need a late-night snack consider keeping it to 200 calories or less

Myth 2 Hunger is a sign you need food FACT The body commonly sends cues of hunger when it is dehydrated sleep deprived or sensing psycho-logical hunger If yoursquore not drinking enough water or getting enough sleep this alone can cause you to sense hunger even though yoursquore full Rampolla says

Myth 3 Losing weight is harder than keeping it off FACT More than 90 percent of dieters regain the weight they lost (or more) once they ldquofinishrdquo their plan Rampolla says If you resume eating the foods you ate before los-ing weight you will gain the weight back-and maybe a few extra pounds Herersquos why After weight loss your slimmer body requires fewer calo-ries to function Plus if your weight-loss plan does not include enough protein you might lose muscle mass in addition to excess fat Why thatrsquos bad Muscle burns more calories than fat does so losing muscle will lower your metabolism

Every day make a positive decision to stay on track with your new healthy lifestyle Maintaining healthy eating habits is a lifelong commitment and takes persistence Rampolla says

Myth 4 Exercise makes you tired FACT As the body gets in better shape most people feel exercising gives them more energy than before Regular exercise can also help fight fatigue improve your sleep and manage your stress says Gina Crome MS MPH RD and Top 10 FitOrbitcom trainer

Myth 5 Working out is a big time commitment FACT To main-tain a healthy weight you can work out as little as 20 to 40 minutes most days of the week If your goal is to lose weight itrsquos advised that you aim for about 45 to 60 minutes each day Crome says

The best part You donrsquot need to fit it all into one session Most of us can find five to 10 minutes to spare

at different points in the day Using these spare minutes throughout the day to be active adds up quickly and eventually becomes a regular part of your healthy lifestyle

Myth 6 Lower-body workouts will give you lean legs faster FACT The type of exercise you do does not affect the number of fat cells in a specific area Crome says Even if you do 100 abs exer- cises every day without proper nutri-tion quality sleep and a well-round- ed fitness routine you might never achieve the toned flat stomach you want You will help develop the muscles in that area but that doesnrsquot equate to fat loss

When the body loses

fat it does so

in a

sys-

temic fashion-all over the body at the same time Aside from surgical procedures such as liposuction there is no way to direct or influence the elimi-nation of fat from

specific areas Crome says Myth 7 You should

only eat carbs when yoursquore ac-tive FACT This myth is based on the belief that since carbs are the bodyrsquos preferred energy source you shouldnrsquot eat them when yoursquore inactive-like most people are in the evening However many individuals have atypical schedules or regularly exercise after work These people benefit from consuming appropri-ate amounts of carbohydrates in the evening to fuel their lifestyle says John Bosse RD and Member of the Research amp Development team for USANA Health Sciences

For someone who is sedentary in the evening a small high-protein snack such as 23 cup of full-fat cottage cheese or a protein shake can actually help you stay slim Research shows that eating high-quality protein at regular intervals promotes better body composition and since a lot of time passes between dinner

and breakfast this small snack is a smart strategic move

Myth 8 Heavy weights will make you bulky FACT Unless yoursquore taking in substances that alter your hormone profile (anabolic ste-roids) it is highly unlikely that you will gain large amounts of muscle Bosse says Doing a high number of reps (20+) using light weights and stopping each set well before the point of muscular failure certainly helps improve fitness and burn calo-ries but itrsquos not the best way to get a lean toned body What is Integrate periods of heavier training (six to 10 reps) with some sets taken to muscular failure The ability to build muscle is very different for men and women and should not be confused Bosse says

Myth 9 You should do a juice cleanse to detox FACT Our bod-ies are extremely smart and have built-in processes for detoxing every day says Kristen Carlucci RD reg-istered dietitian and nutrition expert for Pitney Bowes Inc

Yes people lose weight on juice cleanses but not because of any mir-acle ingredient or because your body is cleared of toxins that are slowing

down your metabolism Weight lost during a cleanse is most likely

a result of taking in far fewer calories than

usual While fill-ing up on fruits

and vegetables is a positive thing the problem with juice cleanses is that they are a tem-porary fix They donrsquot teach you the balanced nutrition habits you should be forming in order to lose weight and keep it off for good Carlucci says

Myth 10 Carbs are the en-emy FACT With the onset of the low-carb diet craze many people deny themselves this major food group This concept is misunder-stood because itrsquos not the carbohy-drates themselves that cause weight gain itrsquos the fact that for many of us itrsquos difficult to control the portion sizes Carlucci says

Instead of cutting out carbs alto-gether (which does not sound fun at all) focus on choosing the right carbs in the proper portions Stick with whole-grain pastas and breads (each slice should have 100 calories or less and should contain at least 3 grams of fiber) and try to fill no more than 14 of your plate with starch Limit pasta to 1 cup cooked and choose potatoes that are about the size of a computer mouse

The 10 Most Misunderstood Diet and Fitness Strategies Fatty Acid Found in Fish Prevents Age-

Related Vision Loss Study Suggests

ScienceDaily (May 30 2012) mdash An omega-3 fatty acid found in fish known as DHA prevented age-relat-ed vision loss in lab tests according to recent medical research from the University of Alberta

Yves Sauveacute a researcher in the Faculty of Medicine amp Dentistry and his team discovered that lab models fed DHA did not accumulate a toxic molecule at the back of the eyes The toxin normally builds up in the retina with age and causes vision loss

ldquoThis discovery could result in a very broad therapeutic userdquo says Sauveacute whose work was recently published in the peer-reviewed jour-nal Investigative Ophthalmology amp Visual Science

ldquoIn normal aging this toxin increases twofold as we age But in lab tests there was no increase in this toxin whatsoever This has never been demonstrated before -- that supplementing the diet with DHA could make this kind of differencerdquo

The team recently started another study looking at people who have age-related macular degeneration a condition that results in loss of central vision and is the main cause of blindness in people over the age of 50 The researchers will look for DNA markers in the blood of study participants The team wants to determine whether participants with certain genetic markers will respond better to increasing amounts of DHA in their diet and if so why

Sauveacute is a researcher in the departments of ophthalmology and physiology at the U of A

Various organizations funded the research the primary funder was the Canadian Institutes of Health Research

Courtesy of WebMD -- Who doesnrsquot enjoy a tall cool glass of juice The color is vibrant the taste sweet and itrsquos good for you too Not so fast say some dietitians Although the best kinds of juice deliver a bounty of vitamins the worst are hardly better than liquid candy WebMD helps you spot the difference

Drinking your veggies is a conve-nient way to add powerful plant-based nutrients to your diet The lycopene in tomato juice appears to lower the risk of prostate cancer Beet juice may reduce blood pres-sure Pulpy vegetable juice is also packed with fiber that can help con-trol hunger And all of these benefits come without a catch Vegetable juice has far less sugar and fewer calories than the typical fruit juice but it is high in sodium unless you choose the low salt version

Be on alert for the terms juice cocktail juice-flavored beverage or juice drink Most of these prod-ucts contain only small amounts of real juice The main ingredients are usually water and some type of sugar such as high-fructose corn syrup Nutritionally these drinks are similar to most soft drinks mdash rich in sugar and calories but low in nutri-ents Research suggests that sug-ary fruit drinks put kids at risk for obesity and related health problems The 2010 Dietary Guidelines recom-mends water over sugary drinks

If yoursquore only going to drink one glass of juice each day you want to make it a good one So letrsquos ex-plore which juices offer the biggest nutritional payoff per sip Pomegran-ate juice tops the list Itrsquos high in sugar and calories but delivers an abundant dose of antioxidants These substances appear to protect brain function and may ward off cancer In one study 8 ounces of pomegranate juice daily reduced the recurrence of prostate cancer

Cranberry juice is packed with vitamin C which is vital to a healthy immune system There is also evidence to support a folk remedy -- drinking unsweetened cranberry juice may help reduce your risk of urinary tract infections

Substances in blueberries may help keep the brain healthy In a small study researchers looked at the effect of blueberry juice on memory in adults in their seven-ties who had age-related memory decline Those who drank 2 12 cups of blueberry juice for 12 weeks had significant improvement on learning and memory tests compared to those who drank a non-juice beverage So choose blueberry juice to boost brain health

Researchers have only begun look-ing into the health benefits of acai juice which is made from a berry found in South America But early studies are promising Acai pulp appears to have a higher concentra-tion of antioxidants than cranber-ries blackberries strawberries or blueberries

Besides delivering a wealth of antioxidants some berry juices appear to have anti-inflammatory properties According to one study drinking cherry juice before and after your work-out can reduce exercise-induced muscle pain

Wersquove all heard that red wine in moderation can be good for the heart The same is true of red grape juice Red grape juice contains po-tent antioxiodants -- flavanoids and resveratrol The key is that wine and juice are made with the entire grape -- seeds skin and all When you eat fresh grapes you miss out on nutri-ents hiding in the seeds

Another viable folk remedy prune juice has long been recommended to relieve constipation It works because itrsquos extremely high in fiber and contains a natural laxative called sorbitol But the benefits of prune juice donrsquot stop there The juice is also packed with antioxidants iron and potassium

Itrsquos a staple at breakfast but does this popular juice carry its weight The good news is orange juice is loaded with vitamin C a star for its immune-boosting benefits In addition orange juice is often forti-fied with calcium and vitamin D nutrients that strengthen the bones

The brave non-violence of the

Subaanen peopleby Fr Shay Cullen PREDA

Some thousands of indigenous people all over the Philippines es-pecially in Mindanao especially the Subaanen people on the Zamboanga Peninsula have struggle for years to stop mining corporations from moving in to explore and mine the mountains and hills They are victims of corrupt government offi cials and even judges who are captivated by the vested inter-est of the mining industry

Some Indigenous people are sadly being forced to turn to armed resis-tance as the mining corporations move into their lands The Subaanen people have remained steadfastly non-violent and turned to the rule of law and trust in the constitution to protect them and their rightsBut is it enough

Hundreds of thousands of hectares of ancestral land has been threatened by the illegal and corrupt acts of some offi cials of the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Allegedly some of these offi cials are not on the side of the people in Mindanao but are for the rich and powerful mining interests and the banks that fund them

They allegedly enrich themselves by giving mining permits to companies

over ancestral lands which is forbidden by law It is at this level in the provinc-es where the anti-corruption campaign of President Aquino is weakest He has deposed a former president and a chief Justice but not yet the corrupt offi cials in Mindanao While the president is dedicated and honestly trying to clean up the stinking garbage of corrup-tion he cannot seemingly oust these entrenched offi cials the henchmen and women of powerful political families

They do not have allegiance to their department cabinet secretary or the president In fact they are ones who defy the president and are the hardest to get rid off The presidents politi-cal allies could be behind the corrupt practices that is opening the way for the illegal logging and issuance of mining permits They are pushing the president to override the provincial governments bans on open pit mining He must resist this pressure

Mining companies that get a permit to explore and mine also get a logging permit for the cutting the trees in the area alloted to them for mining This is totally destructive and is a way around the presidential ban on logging which goes on unabated Just drive through Mindanao and you will pass twenty or thirty huge trucks hauling cut logs I have seen them myself

For many years the Subaanen people and their supporters have stood peace-fully for their rights courageously and bravely to stop the local dynastic families and their cronies in the Inter-national mining industry from mining

their ancestral lands The Subaanen have been non-violent and trusted the democratic rule of law to save them

Their breakthrough cam in August 2011 when the Supreme Court of the Philippines granted a Writ of Ka-likasan (A protection of nature) to the people to protect the environment of the whole of the Zamboanga Peninsu-la A Writ of Kalikasan is a powerful legal remedy under Philippine law which provides for the protection ones right to a balanced and health-ful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature as provided for in Section 16 Article II of the Philippine Constitution It protects ones right for a healthy environment against damage of such magnitude that it threatens life health or property of inhabitants in two or more cities or provinces But the government of-fi cials are ignoring the Supreme Court order

Bishop Jiminez and three other bishops and an archbishop signed a letter to the London based sharehold-ers of the mining company RTZ-CRA trying to get the offi cials to stop the mining and logging wrote to the shareholders

In part he letter said ŠSince the company has the right to expatriate all the profi ts you the shareholders will probably earn some money However many of our people who own the lands where all the minerals are will become paupers Our rivers and seas

In travelling the countryside or while you are crossing the street driving your car taking the subway bedridden in the hospital or stuck in prison dont forget to say your Rosary every day Let the beads slip between your fi ngers they also slip between the fi n-gers of the Holy Father at the Vatican those of a grandmoth-er in Alaska a child on a hill in Rwanda a football player on a fi eld in Rio a Carthusian monk in his cell a Carmelite in her cloister or young evangelists on a mission

The Rosary is the certainly the prayer of the poor and the small the

sick and the suffering par excel-lence Yes always and everywhere not only in space but also in time The latitudes of the planet and longi-

tudes of history crisscross

The Hail Mary has moistened the lips of mil-lions of all ages races and nations How many chil-dren learned it as their fi rst prayer How many of the

dying whispered it as their ultimate testament The Hail Mary is a syn-thesis of two fi rst names Mary and Jesus

Father Daniel Ange

Never Forget to Say Your Rosary Everyday

Daily Meditation Listening With

Our Wounds To enter into solidarity with a suf-

fering person does not mean that we have to talk with that person about our own suffering Speaking about our own pain is seldom helpful for someone who is in pain A wounded healer is someone who can listen to a person in pain without having to speak about his or her own wounds When we have lived through a pain-ful depression we can listen with great attentiveness and love to a depressed friend without mentioning our experience Mostly it is better not to direct a suffering persons attention to ourselves We have to trust that our own bandaged wounds will allow us to listen to others with our whole beings That is healing

July 10 2012 Daily Meditation Text excerpts taken from Bread for the Journey by Henri JM Nouwen copy1997 HarperSanFrancisco All Scripture from The Jerusalem Bible copy1966 1967 and 1968 Darton Longman amp Todd and Doubleday amp Co Inc

Q How do you describe a luke-warm soul

A Jesus said lukewarm souls are souls who if He can only vomit out He will They are the souls He wanted to vomit out when He was in calvary Like in Geth-semane He said if it is only possible that He will not have to drink the cup He will not drink from it because these are the souls who are already in the light but decided to transfer to darkness That is why our Lord said what these souls are doing is the most hurting thing for Him

Q What makes Jesus happy

A What makes Jesus happy is if you can love your enemy Because how can you face God and beg for His mercy if you are not also merciful The truth is it is very diffi cult to love our enemy But there is a secret And the secret is fi rst of all we have to conquer our selves The truth is our num-ber one enemy is ourselves

because pride is in us hatred is in us all the negative are in us But if you are able to conquer your self if we are

able to defeat ourselves it means we do not have anymore pride no more hatred no more envy no more nega-tive and if all the negative are gone

it will be very easy to love your enemy

The truth is it is very easy to say ldquo I forgive yourdquo but it only comes from the mouth Deep inside the negatives are still in your heart and if it is not removed it will remain with you forever That is why you need to remove the negative You can only remove these if you love your enemy Because if you love your enemy ev-erytime you pray he is always included in your prayer and everytime you pray for your enemy slowly the thorn is be-ing removed and if the thorn is removed completely that will make Jesus very happy

To love an enemy means it is not necessary to like Just pray for him Do not say anything against him

a good chance that we will be able to extend this forward momentum as we anticipate better fi rst-half earnings from our listed fi rms The latest sovereign credit rating up-grade also provides additional support for future growth so overall I think we are in a terrifi c position to keep on im-provingrdquo PSE president Hans Sicat said in a press statement

Last July 5 the PSEi again beat its previous record high to post a fresh all-time high at 536998 As of July 6 the PSEi was the top performing market in Asia with a gain of 227 percent year-to-date beating bourses in Singapore Indonesia Malaysia Thailand Vietnam Hong Kong India and China among others

In the fi rst six months cyclical stocks banking and property led the PSEirsquos rise in the fi rst quarter albeit all indices were on the green

The fi nancial index emerged as the best performer in the fi rst half after surging by 346 percent to the 130442 level The fi nancial index was likewise the best performer in terms of bot-tomline based on fi rst-quarter earnings culled by the PSE

The next best performer was the property index which jumped by 301 percent to fi nish at 192748 in the fi rst half

The holding fi rms index rose by 281 percent to the 448880 level

Other indices performed as follows in the fi rst six months the industrial index rallied by 108 percent to fi nish at 783957 the services index climbed by 88 percent to 175902 -the mining and oil index crept higher by 48 percent to 2462948 points

ldquoJust like our main index investor confi dence in Philippines Inc is at an all-time high Whatrsquos remarkable is that we have been able to achieve unprec-edented growth even in the midst of ongoing uncertainties in the Western hemisphere and a cooling Chinese economy This is a testament to the effectiveness of the reforms that the country has undertaken which further contributed to the stable macroeconomic environmentrdquo Sicat said

The PSEirsquos fi nish in the fi rst six months was higher by 95520 points from its previous close of 429121 in the same period last year

The combined market capitalization of issues listed on the PSE during the January to June period stood at P1005 trillion up by 128 percent from a year ago

Total turnover for the fi rst half reached P94773 billion or 432 percent higher than the P66181 billion registered in the same period the previous year Average daily turnover stood at P764 billion an increase of 455 percent year-on-year

talking which may be misconstrued as being ruderdquo said Tatiana Da-nilova Russian market manager for Skyscanner ldquoHowever this is more a difference in culture than genuine rudenessrdquo

Danilova attributed this to the Russian language which ldquois not as polite as Englishhelliprdquo

ldquoSo when Russians translate directly from Russian to English it can sound rude to an English speaker even if they donrsquot mean it tordquo Danilova ldquoRussians tend to consider British people extremely polite due to their courteous way of speakingrdquo

I once asked my mentor how I could repay him for his kindness He told me to help 100 other people and my debt would be repaid in full Irsquod like to help at least a million people It is great to be recognized by your peers but I feel I should be recognizing the commu-nity for their steadfast and unwavering support for me and my colleagues at IW Grouprdquo said Bill Imada Chairman amp CEO IW Group Inc - Philanthropy Leadership honoree

In spite of the challenging fundraising environment APCF was successful at raising more than $150000 that was dis-tributed among its 29 Affi liate Agencies which provide health and human ser-vices to Asian and Pacifi c Islander (API) and other ethnic communities in need throughout Los Angeles County The mission of APCF is to build healthier and stronger API communities working with its affi liates corporate and commu-nity partners and individuals to generate resources for this often overlooked and under-served population

In addition special grant presentations were made by Verizon and Walmart totaling $100000 For the second year Verizon is funding APCFrsquos scholarship program for students pursuing higher education in the science technology engineering and math related fi elds In a time when students are faced with signifi cantly rising costs of obtaining a college degree it is important that there is support for these students in the Asian and Pacifi c Islander communities A total of $25000 in scholarship awards will be given out in 2012

Shooting StarPoem No 9

I wish I was a shooting star streaking through the night sky

Being here and there in brief fl ash of light

And really nowhere to be found

Me in your life being caught in your universe

Running around in circles ever nearing your space

Seeking the face by which I am doomed to certain death

Like a fl ash like a bang I am nowhere to be found

Me in your life caught in your universe streaking aimlessly

towards destruction envying the celestial dance between Moon

and Sun Sun and earth earth and heaven seeking freedom

from my desolated journey in you I found destruction through

my destruction I found my freedom

Lt Donald Ordinario Radiation Health Offi cer US Naval Hospital (USNH) Yokosuka has been award-ed the Capt Ernest W Brown award by the Navy and Marine occupation-al health preventive medicine andor health promotion for 2011

Ordinario created the only Navy dosimetry program that manages multiple afl oat and ashore command programs from one location and the fi rst overseas dosimetry hub for Department of Defense personnel in Japan The program monitored personnel for external radiation exposure while working in support of Operation Tomadachi

Ordinario said ldquoLooking at the big

picture we were a small part of the overall Operation Tomadachi mis-sion but since external dosimetry was required for all personnel enter-ing the radiological warm zone for humanitarian assistance the USNH Yokosuka radiation health team took on the monumental challenge of en-suring personnel were appropriately monitoredrdquo

Ordinario was aided by a team of radiation health staff which included deployed technicians deployed from stateside commands to support Op-eration Tomadachi ldquoThe augmented staff from different Navy Medicine Commands was vital part of being able to carry out our missionrdquo said Ordinario ldquoBeing recognized for the efforts the radiation health team did during Operation Tomadachi

is an honor and a testament to the hard work that was put in by all involvedrdquo

The Capt Ernest W Brown award established in 1986 is presented in memory of the late Capt Ernest ldquoEWrdquo Brown and recognizes an individual for excellence in Navy Occupational Health Preventive Medicine andor Health Promo-tion programs at the activity level Brown was a renowned researcher in the fi eld of biochemical warfare submarine medicine and occupa-tional medicine In 1941 he suc-cessfully implemented the ambitious industrial hygiene and forerunner of our Navy program today -- Re-printed from Seahawk Umitaka (submitted by Daughlet Ordinario of San Diego CA)

Seaoil karter Gabriel Cabrera along with fellow Filipino Flynn Jackes fi nally ended the half a decade title drought for the Philippines in the Mini-ROK class of the Asian Karting Open Championshipsrsquo opening leg at the Kartodromo de Coloane in Macau The 5-leg international race series is regarded as the most prestigious karting tilt in Asia

Racing abroad for the fi rst time 12 year old Cabrera topped the time trials at 103674 despite the absence of a coach and with only his chief mechanic Joesefi lo Bariquit in tow

The Philippines enjoyed a momentous 1-2-3 moment at the time trials with Cabrera grabbing pole position followed by Xedrei Daquigan in second and Flynn Jackes in third

Enduring an abdomen injury incurred from a crash during the fi nals warm-up Cabrera nevertheless decided to continue to race in the fi nals Surging to 2nd place from 5th in the fi nal grid the excruciating pain however led Cabrera to slip to 4th place by the end of the race

Although bowing to Jackes for the top spot Cabrerarsquos admirable show of resilience and perseverance endeared him to fans and foes alike who knew of his injury In true AKOC camaraderie Cabrera even found an unlikely ally in Taiwanese rival Lin Tsen Han who along with his crew immediately as-

sisted Cabrera as he fi nally collapsed in pain at the weigh-in area

ldquoThere is no such thing as a broken spirit only broken bones But not even that can stop a Filipino karterrsquos will to winrdquo says Cabrera as he was whisked off to the Kiang Wu Hospital to receive emergency medical treatment

He eventually was stable enough to return to the track a few hours later in time to receive his 3rd runner-up trophy at the awarding ceremonies Cabrera is the son of Los Angeles-based business-man Richard Cabrera and is slated to compete in the seriesrsquo second leg later this month in Manila

Cabrera Win Hearts In Asian Karting

Chief mechanic Joesefi le Bariquit and Gabriel Cabrera with kart-ing trophy at the Asian Karting Open Championship during opening leg in Macau China

by Steven Buller KIvaorgAccording to a recent article in Ma-

laya Business Insight a Filipino news-paper there were 9050 bank facilities operating in the Philippines at the end of 2011 At the same time there were 15600 pawnshops and 9500 licensed

money changers that were licensed to provide fi nancial services such as remittance transactions and bill pay-ments

The Philippines are fragmented by nature The country has 7000 islands 2000 of which are inhabited Since most banks are in urban areas reaching clients on the smaller remote islands can be extremely diffi cult and costly In a country where the savings rate is abysmal many people depend on credit for everyday expenses Non-bank facilities like pawnshops which are regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (or BSP the Philippines central bank) fi ll this gap

The BSP is currently considering allowing convenience stores or ldquosari-sari shopsrdquo to become banking agents as well They would be allowed to offer a variety of services including handling remittance transactions As nearly one out of 10 Filipinos lives and works abroad remittance transactions represent a huge portion of demand for fi nancial services In fact the Philip-

pines is one of the top fi ve recipients of remittances globally receiving about USD$19 billion annually

While this informal part of the banking sector certainly promotes fi nancial inclusion the BSP has made efforts to formalize the industry In 2010 it passed an amendment to certain banking regulations allowing for banks to establish microbanking offi ces (ldquoMBOsrdquo) MBOs are much smaller and cheaper to set up than bank branches They also offer a wider range of services that are important to Filipinos including microinsurance electronic money transfers social secu-rity payouts and savings products

Avoid immorality Every other sin a person commits is outside the body but the immoral person sins against his own body Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you whom you have from God and that you are not your own For you have been purchased at a price Therefore glo-rify God in your body (1Cor 618-20) I urge you therefore brothers by the mercies of God to offer your bodies as a living sacrifi ce holy and pleasing to God your spiritual worshipDo not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind that you may discern what is the will of God what is good and pleasing and perfect (Rom 121-2)

Joke of the Week Bill had a good friend who was a minister of long years standing They used to josh one another occasionally ldquoYou reverend think yoursquore so hotrdquo said Bill one day ldquoAfter all yoursquore only about 50 percent effective About half of the babies you baptize donrsquot stay Christians about half of the adults you convert donrsquot stay con-verted and about half the people you marry donrsquot stay marriedrdquo ldquoWersquore 100 percent on one pointrdquo answered his minister friend ldquoIf I were a bet-ting man Irsquod give you 1000 to1odds that all the people we bury stay buriedrdquo

Scriptures First Reading Jer-emiah 23 1-6 In Jeremiahrsquos time the people of the northern kingdom of Israel had been exiled to Assyria and the Israelites in the southern kingdom of Judah had been deported to Babylon There were lots of dev-astated lives and broken hearts The kings and leaders did not live up as true shepherds The prophet speaks of hope out of this dismal condi-tion God will raise a new shepherd who will rule with righteousness and unite Israel and Judah Sec-ond Reading Ephesians 2 13-18 Through Christ all religious barriers between Hebrews and non-Hebrews or Gentiles are now demolished Through Christrsquos redemptive work of salvation and reconciliation those who are ldquofar offrdquo and ldquonearrdquo are now brought together All have access to the Father with the Spirit

Gospel Mark 6 30-34 In the fi rst reading God renews the promise he made to his people 1) to bless hu-manity by bringing it back to a land where it can bear fruit abundantly

(an allusion to Genesis) 2) to raise a new king who shall rule his people justly and rightly (a promise made to Abraham and David) Christian view the blessing at creation story of Gen-esis and the promise of a new leader are both fulfi lled in Jesus Christ

Refl ections The Hebrew word for shepherd does not only mean a king and ruler it also connotes the notion of feeding defending caring

and providing Jeremiah denounced the shepherds of his time who cared for themselves alone and not for the fl ock that were entrusted to them From the Christian point of view Jesus Christ is the shepherd who restores hope to new Israel In turn Jesus wants his apostles to continue his shepherding mission

Reginald Fuller commented that in this Marcan passage the term ldquoapostlesrdquo was not originally a title but a function Jeremiah condemned Zedekiah and the last kings of Judah as shepherds who have misled the people These corrupt shepherds paid more attention to their own selfi sh vested interests than those of the fl ock The Marcan passage is implying that the apostles should

avoid committing the same serious mistake In Matthew 23 6-7 Jesus told his disciples ldquoThey (Scribes and Pharisees) love places of honor at banquets seats of honor in syna-gogues greetings in marketplaces and the salutation lsquoRabbirsquordquo The apostles are told not to put more emphasis on title such as ldquoapostlerdquo and less on responsibilities that come with it Instead they should put more weight on their duties and responsibilities Titles such as ldquodoctor teachers bishop reverend engineer lawyerrdquo denote functions and responsibilities But when a title gains more prominence than the re-sponsibilities that come with it title divides rather than unites people

PSYCHOLOGISTS HAVE PROPOSED THE FASCINATING CONCEPT OF THE DYAD (Greek dyacuteo ldquotwordquo) or bi-polar archetype Common functionaries such as doc-torpatient lawyerclient ministerparishioner and parents children are some archetypal roles Many of these roles are essentially linked to a partnering archetype hence the term dyad archetype To stress the supe-rior pole of the archetype doctor lawyer minister and parents over the other pole patient client parish-ioner and children breaks the dyad and negatively impacts both poles For instance a doctor who fails to recognize that there is a ldquophysi-cianrdquo in his patient breaks down the therapeutic relationship between him and his patient The same is true with a teacher who fails to see that he too is a ldquostudentrdquo who can learn from his students Ministers who forget that they too are in need of salvation treat their parishioners as inferiors Parents become domineer-ing and overbearing when they fail to learn from their children On the other hand the dyad is also broken when the inferior pole is emphasized over the superior pole When both poles recognize each otherrsquos strength and draw energies to enhance each otherrsquos well being there is true heal-ing learning ministering parenting and spirituality

We read in todayrsquos Gospel that Jesus invited his apostles to take a break from their tiresome activities Likewise we seek scenic vistas sun-ny beaches quiet and private places

to relax and unwind Leonardo da Vinci wrote ldquoEvery now and then go away have a little relaxation for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose power of judgment hellip Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be take in at a glance and lack of harmony or proportion is more readily seenrdquo Jesus mindful of his apostlesrsquo need for a breather after a hectic mission asked them to rest a while It was a rest aimed at energizing the apostles with the divine presence that would enable them to be more effective in their mission Onersquos summer vacation can also be an occasion to recharge our spiritual battery

ldquoNot without design does God write the music of our lives Be it ours to learn the time and not be discouraged at the rests If we say sadly to ourselves lsquoThere is no music in a restrsquo let us not forget there is the making of music in it The making of music is often a slow and painful process in this life How patiently God works to teach us How long He waits for us to learn the lessonrdquo (John Ruskin)

Quotation of the Week ldquoIf you keep a bow always bent it will break eventually but if you let it go slack it will be fi t for use when you want itrdquo Aesop

Spirituality in Dyadic Relationship

Spiritual Courage

Courage is connected with taking

risks Jumping the Grand Can-yon on a motorbike coming over Niagara Falls in a barrel or crossing the ocean in a rowboat are called courageous acts because people risk their lives by doing these things But none of these daredevil acts comes from the centre of our being They all come from the desire to test our physical limits and to become famous and popular

Spiritual courage is something completely different It is following the deepest desires of our hearts at the risk of losing fame and popular-ity It asks of us the willingness to lose our temporal lives in order to gain eternal life

Cayabyab lauds ABS-CBN Philharmonic

OrchestraABS CBN News | MANILA Phil-

ippines -- Acclaimed composer Ryan Cayabyab lauded the newly formed ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra which will make its fi rst major public debut at the ldquoIcons at the Arenardquo con-cert at the SM Mall of Asia Arena

Rehearsing this afternoon was a breeze The rare event on Saturday combines only the best Filipino art-ists together in the concert with the best musicians of the ABS-CBN Phil-harmonic What more can I ask for as musical director Ang ganda at ang sarap ng tugtuganrdquo said Cayabyab who is the musical director of

the all-star OPM concertCayabyab who composed OPM

classics such as Kay Ganda ng Ating Musika called the orchestra the newest most exciting addition to the top artists of the Kapamilya Network

He praised the orchestra members as arguably the best crossover musi-cians of the country who can perform all types and genres of music led by

a formidable music director Gerard Salonga

Early this year ABS-CBN and First Philippine Holdings Inc joined hands to promote an advocacy for Filipinos to connect and experience ldquorealrdquo and ldquogoodrdquo music Thus the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra was created to defy the notion that a full orches-tra is only limited to classical music

The 40-piece musical ensemble is also a fi rst in the history of ABS-CBN

ABS-CBN chairman Eugenio ldquoGabbyrdquo Lopez III stressed that the orchestra aims to provide music of the highest caliber to the general audience

ABS-CBN president Charo Santos-Concio on the other hand expressed her full support for the orchestra

and her optimism that this will be a signifi cant platform to celebrate the character and soul of Filipino music

According to ABS-CBN Philhar-monic Orchestrarsquos executive director Mickey Muntildeoz the orchestra shall also service the performance and music needs of ABS-CBN such as concerts as well as the musical scor-ing for movies

Muntildeoz also revealed that a youth orchestra is also being formed to train indigent but talented young Pinoys to play musical instruments

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada

(In the last chapter PMA cadet Julius Madrigal buys a bible as New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Carlo entered his room from his bath He donned on a t-shirt from his strewn clothes which he would have to pack the following day Over the shirt he pulled over a lengthwise striped sweater which made him appear taller than his five foot and a half frame He then went to the mirror and combed his still damp straight hair parting it on its left side He smiled checking his well set teeth He felt clean

Cleanliness is next to Godliness Monday after the New

Year he would be back to nearer Godliness His two weeks vacation would be over He would be back to where he would like to dedicate himself to be really next to Godli-ness

Again he would be back where everyday the brrriinnnggg brrr-riiiinnggg brrriinnnnggg wake up bell that permeates throughout the seminary walls would swirl into his eardrums and into his innermost soul jolting him to slide off the bed and be on his knees when sunrays slice through the windows of where he had confined himself to be nearer to Godliness Still in the throes of being awake his right hand flies to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Hail Mary full of gracehelliphe falls back into the abyss of nothingness but a second alarm ndash briiinnggg briiinggg brii-ingggg would bring back the swirl into his eardrums permeating into

his soul jolting him back to the re-ality that he is already on his knees Hail Mary full of gracehelliphas he said three already He would goad himself and fight against falling back into the abyss of nothingness for the umpteenth time Has he said three Hail Maries already He decides that since he had lost count he would complete three Hail Maries even if he already went over the count He would add an Our Father and a Glory Be

He gets up and staggers himself towards the exit of the dormitory towards the wash basins He passes other seminarians still in various pose of waking up on their knees or staggering out like himself The silkiness or fadedness of their paja-mas distinguishes who among them come from richer or poorer families

After freshening up he dons his white shirt and pants and black neck-tie He then marches out to join the other seminarians lining up in front of the chapel They appear like equal angels without wings Only tie clips shoes belts or brands of watches distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families

Equally mandated each one clasps his hands palms together on his chest They proceed to their assigned pews while cherubim like hymns fill the air

And the rite beginsDominus VobiscumhellipEt cum

spiritu tuohellipOra pro nobis kneelhellipsithellipstandhellipsit againhellipmostly kneel - all in sanctity to commune with the Spirit and the saints

By the offertory sanctity could be broken as Carlorsquos stomach as well as othersrsquo would growl pleading that the fangs of hunger be quelled But they have to wait though now find it hard to be in communion with the Spirit and the saints

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Finally it would be lsquoGo in peace the mass is endedrsquo

In seeking peace for their hunger they still have to be saintly tip-toe out of the chapel Their shoes then would scrape on the hallways in they dash to the dormitories in the rush to change into their school clothes

Now their over-all clothing demeanors ndash shirts pants sweaters socks shoes ndash starkly distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families Nonetheless richer or poorer they remained equal in the need to quell the fangs of hun-ger as they rush to the rectory hall

A sunny side two sausages fried rice from leftovers the night before crowd on each of the eight plates on each of the ten tables at the rec-tory The coffee would be soggy but would still be a welcome brew to enliven our breakfast which is equal for all The food they are about to receive from His bounty made them all equal except that there are also apples and juice and non soggy cof-fee at the head table where the Flem-ish rector Flemish assistant rector and Flemish principal are

Their stomachs would now really be howling gurgling clamoring for whatever they have to partake on but they all had to equally wait for the last seminarian to enter the dining hall half embarrassed half rever-ent The rector frowning for the delay would glare at the late comer before his right hand would fly to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Bless us Oh Lord in these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord Amen

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Amen

The last vestiges of reverence would now be broken as the ter-restrial need to fortify onersquos body takes precedence over the needs of the soul Chairs screech as the seminarians slide unto them Spoons and forks bang to scrape on eggs sausages and rice as they slide from the plates into munching mouths to mediate the growling gurgling stomachs

After a while Carlo would be satisfied with the egg two sausages fried rice and soggy coffee He would then have more time to often wonder why those Flemish priests also have apples juice and non soggy coffee while the seminar-ians do not Often he dismisses

the thought to just because they are already priests priests who are white because they have a different culture Nonetheless he often asks himself didnrsquot Jesus Christ share the same enliven bread and fish with his apostles

Often he would also feel guilty that having such kind of thoughts about inequality with the priests could be sacrilegious and wonders if he had to go to the con-fessional for that

Such thoughts however would vanish as he immerses himself with the day of classes ndash geometry Latin physics basketball volleyball lunch more studies ping-pong ro-sary and the long litanies and night prayers

The thoughts of inequality how-ever would invade his mind again the following day right after the br-riinnggg brrriinggg brriingggg and the regimen begins

And the regimen he would be go-ing back to made the short Christ-mas holiday break really shorter Nonetheless he had dedicated himself to the vocation and glad that no one or nothing during the vaca-tion made him feel that it was really short He had again passed the test of being out of the seminary walls with still the resolve that he would be going back for Godlinessrsquos sake

Vacations are not only respites from the sanctified isolationrsquos regimen They are tests to how one would not succumb to the calls of the human flesh in the outside world Should one not be able to resist temptations it would be better for one to fall away from the calling earlier than later after one is fully vested when the faithful would be subject to disillusionment

Nonetheless tonight Carlo would indulge in a simple call of the flesh He was ready for the dinner prepared by his mother one much better than the feasts of the priests

The MoringaMalunggay Tree with its edible leaves flowers and pods is one of most power packed nutritious trees in the world It goes by many different names drumkstick tree the Miracle tree the Never Die Tree the Miracle tree

I wrote an article on that subject here but it is also one of the most healing trees in the world All of the tree is ei-ther used for food medicine or cooking It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for hundreds of years to both prevent and treat almost 300 diseasesThe in-formation in this article is not based on double blind research but on the histori-cal and current usage of Moringa leaves flowers and pods in India and many other countries This is how the people have used it in the past and how they use it now Much of this information was observed and documented in the different health projects by physicians in their treatment of AIDS malnutrition and disease In India Ayurvedic physi-cians use it in their standard treatment protocols

How can Moringa leaves have an im-pact on so many problems Many health problems are due to poor nutrition malnutrition and imbalanced disease states which result in immune system breakdown and disease When you correct those imbalances and nutritional deficiencies with super packed nutritious food it is bound to improve health and disease states The ability for Moringa leaves flowers bark and pods to have such diverse healing effects is due to the vitamins minerals antioxidants and healing elements the tree contains

A review of Moringas power packed nutrition

Here is a nutritional breakdown of Fresh Moringa Leaves 7 times the Vitamin C of Oranges 4 times the Cal-cium of Milk 3 times the Potassium of Bananas 2 times the Protein of Yogurt 4 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and frac34 the iron of Spinach

Moringa leaves when dried become a even greater powerhouse of nutri-tion containing frac12 the Vitamin C of Oranges 17 times the Calcium of Milk 15 times the Potassium of Bananas 9 times the Protein of Yogurt 25 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and 20 times the Iron in Spinach All elements except the Vitamin C is increased when you dry the leaves under low temperatures Drying the leaves in direct sunlight decreases its nutritional values

How Moringa and Artemisia Annua Leaves benefit AIDS Patients

There are health projects going on

in Tanzania Musoma and other areas There is a real AIDS crisis in these areas In these AIDS cases the doctors have found that the combination of two herbs Moringa and Artemisia Annua improved the energy stamina and CD4 counts of the AIDS patients Some of their patients came in so weak they were not able to walk or care for them-selves They improved so dramatically that many were able to go back to work and many stayed to help the incoming patients These dramatic improvements were documented over and over again by the doctors in these health projects

How the herbs were used in the treat-ment protocols

The physicians combined dried Mor-inga Leaves with Artemisia Annua and then added one heaping teaspoonful of the powder to make a tea A liter of tea using 5 grams of the powder was given 3 times a day to the patient while the symptoms were acute Later when the patients improved it was reduced to a cup a day When you consider the super nutrition in Moringa leaves it is easy to understand how the Aids patients would improve The power packed nutrition would bolster their immune function strength stamina and ability to live a more normal active life

Moringa does NOT cure AIDS but helps the AIDS patient live longer and improves their quality of life and health Often the AIDS patient does not die from AIDS but from one of the opportunistinfections that prey on their compromised immune system

Moringa Leaves effects on blood pres-sure blood sugar breast milk produc-tion and anemia

In India the leaves are used to normalize blood pressure and to treat anxiety In 1994 a team of researchers identified a new nitride and mustard oil glycoside that demonstrated its ability to lower blood pressure

An infusion of the leaf is used to reduce sugar levels though not as ef-fectively as the standard hypoglycemia medicine

Moringa leaves mixed with honey then followed with coconut milk drunk 2 to 3 times a day is used for diarrhea dysentery and colitis

Moringa leaves have been observed and documented by doctors in the health projects to increase breast milk produc-tion and the health of nursing mothers This is due to the nutrition in the leaves especially the protein calcium and iron

Refreshing News | 7122012 -- Top experts separate the fact from myth once and for all--and reveal some surprises in the process Myth 1 Eating at Night Makes You Fat FACT If your overall calorie intake is appropriate for weight loss or maintenance it may benefit you to eat something after dinner says Joni Rampolla RD Director of Nu-trition and Wellness for Medifast

Late-night calories will ultimately get used the next day (and even while you sleep) To keep your en-ergy levels up it is better to spread your calories out during the day when your body needs fuel Aim to eat something every two or three hours This will stabilize blood sugar levels and help you feel full and energized all day

If you do need a late-night snack consider keeping it to 200 calories or less

Myth 2 Hunger is a sign you need food FACT The body commonly sends cues of hunger when it is dehydrated sleep deprived or sensing psycho-logical hunger If yoursquore not drinking enough water or getting enough sleep this alone can cause you to sense hunger even though yoursquore full Rampolla says

Myth 3 Losing weight is harder than keeping it off FACT More than 90 percent of dieters regain the weight they lost (or more) once they ldquofinishrdquo their plan Rampolla says If you resume eating the foods you ate before los-ing weight you will gain the weight back-and maybe a few extra pounds Herersquos why After weight loss your slimmer body requires fewer calo-ries to function Plus if your weight-loss plan does not include enough protein you might lose muscle mass in addition to excess fat Why thatrsquos bad Muscle burns more calories than fat does so losing muscle will lower your metabolism

Every day make a positive decision to stay on track with your new healthy lifestyle Maintaining healthy eating habits is a lifelong commitment and takes persistence Rampolla says

Myth 4 Exercise makes you tired FACT As the body gets in better shape most people feel exercising gives them more energy than before Regular exercise can also help fight fatigue improve your sleep and manage your stress says Gina Crome MS MPH RD and Top 10 FitOrbitcom trainer

Myth 5 Working out is a big time commitment FACT To main-tain a healthy weight you can work out as little as 20 to 40 minutes most days of the week If your goal is to lose weight itrsquos advised that you aim for about 45 to 60 minutes each day Crome says

The best part You donrsquot need to fit it all into one session Most of us can find five to 10 minutes to spare

at different points in the day Using these spare minutes throughout the day to be active adds up quickly and eventually becomes a regular part of your healthy lifestyle

Myth 6 Lower-body workouts will give you lean legs faster FACT The type of exercise you do does not affect the number of fat cells in a specific area Crome says Even if you do 100 abs exer- cises every day without proper nutri-tion quality sleep and a well-round- ed fitness routine you might never achieve the toned flat stomach you want You will help develop the muscles in that area but that doesnrsquot equate to fat loss

When the body loses

fat it does so

in a

sys-

temic fashion-all over the body at the same time Aside from surgical procedures such as liposuction there is no way to direct or influence the elimi-nation of fat from

specific areas Crome says Myth 7 You should

only eat carbs when yoursquore ac-tive FACT This myth is based on the belief that since carbs are the bodyrsquos preferred energy source you shouldnrsquot eat them when yoursquore inactive-like most people are in the evening However many individuals have atypical schedules or regularly exercise after work These people benefit from consuming appropri-ate amounts of carbohydrates in the evening to fuel their lifestyle says John Bosse RD and Member of the Research amp Development team for USANA Health Sciences

For someone who is sedentary in the evening a small high-protein snack such as 23 cup of full-fat cottage cheese or a protein shake can actually help you stay slim Research shows that eating high-quality protein at regular intervals promotes better body composition and since a lot of time passes between dinner

and breakfast this small snack is a smart strategic move

Myth 8 Heavy weights will make you bulky FACT Unless yoursquore taking in substances that alter your hormone profile (anabolic ste-roids) it is highly unlikely that you will gain large amounts of muscle Bosse says Doing a high number of reps (20+) using light weights and stopping each set well before the point of muscular failure certainly helps improve fitness and burn calo-ries but itrsquos not the best way to get a lean toned body What is Integrate periods of heavier training (six to 10 reps) with some sets taken to muscular failure The ability to build muscle is very different for men and women and should not be confused Bosse says

Myth 9 You should do a juice cleanse to detox FACT Our bod-ies are extremely smart and have built-in processes for detoxing every day says Kristen Carlucci RD reg-istered dietitian and nutrition expert for Pitney Bowes Inc

Yes people lose weight on juice cleanses but not because of any mir-acle ingredient or because your body is cleared of toxins that are slowing

down your metabolism Weight lost during a cleanse is most likely

a result of taking in far fewer calories than

usual While fill-ing up on fruits

and vegetables is a positive thing the problem with juice cleanses is that they are a tem-porary fix They donrsquot teach you the balanced nutrition habits you should be forming in order to lose weight and keep it off for good Carlucci says

Myth 10 Carbs are the en-emy FACT With the onset of the low-carb diet craze many people deny themselves this major food group This concept is misunder-stood because itrsquos not the carbohy-drates themselves that cause weight gain itrsquos the fact that for many of us itrsquos difficult to control the portion sizes Carlucci says

Instead of cutting out carbs alto-gether (which does not sound fun at all) focus on choosing the right carbs in the proper portions Stick with whole-grain pastas and breads (each slice should have 100 calories or less and should contain at least 3 grams of fiber) and try to fill no more than 14 of your plate with starch Limit pasta to 1 cup cooked and choose potatoes that are about the size of a computer mouse

The 10 Most Misunderstood Diet and Fitness Strategies Fatty Acid Found in Fish Prevents Age-

Related Vision Loss Study Suggests

ScienceDaily (May 30 2012) mdash An omega-3 fatty acid found in fish known as DHA prevented age-relat-ed vision loss in lab tests according to recent medical research from the University of Alberta

Yves Sauveacute a researcher in the Faculty of Medicine amp Dentistry and his team discovered that lab models fed DHA did not accumulate a toxic molecule at the back of the eyes The toxin normally builds up in the retina with age and causes vision loss

ldquoThis discovery could result in a very broad therapeutic userdquo says Sauveacute whose work was recently published in the peer-reviewed jour-nal Investigative Ophthalmology amp Visual Science

ldquoIn normal aging this toxin increases twofold as we age But in lab tests there was no increase in this toxin whatsoever This has never been demonstrated before -- that supplementing the diet with DHA could make this kind of differencerdquo

The team recently started another study looking at people who have age-related macular degeneration a condition that results in loss of central vision and is the main cause of blindness in people over the age of 50 The researchers will look for DNA markers in the blood of study participants The team wants to determine whether participants with certain genetic markers will respond better to increasing amounts of DHA in their diet and if so why

Sauveacute is a researcher in the departments of ophthalmology and physiology at the U of A

Various organizations funded the research the primary funder was the Canadian Institutes of Health Research

Courtesy of WebMD -- Who doesnrsquot enjoy a tall cool glass of juice The color is vibrant the taste sweet and itrsquos good for you too Not so fast say some dietitians Although the best kinds of juice deliver a bounty of vitamins the worst are hardly better than liquid candy WebMD helps you spot the difference

Drinking your veggies is a conve-nient way to add powerful plant-based nutrients to your diet The lycopene in tomato juice appears to lower the risk of prostate cancer Beet juice may reduce blood pres-sure Pulpy vegetable juice is also packed with fiber that can help con-trol hunger And all of these benefits come without a catch Vegetable juice has far less sugar and fewer calories than the typical fruit juice but it is high in sodium unless you choose the low salt version

Be on alert for the terms juice cocktail juice-flavored beverage or juice drink Most of these prod-ucts contain only small amounts of real juice The main ingredients are usually water and some type of sugar such as high-fructose corn syrup Nutritionally these drinks are similar to most soft drinks mdash rich in sugar and calories but low in nutri-ents Research suggests that sug-ary fruit drinks put kids at risk for obesity and related health problems The 2010 Dietary Guidelines recom-mends water over sugary drinks

If yoursquore only going to drink one glass of juice each day you want to make it a good one So letrsquos ex-plore which juices offer the biggest nutritional payoff per sip Pomegran-ate juice tops the list Itrsquos high in sugar and calories but delivers an abundant dose of antioxidants These substances appear to protect brain function and may ward off cancer In one study 8 ounces of pomegranate juice daily reduced the recurrence of prostate cancer

Cranberry juice is packed with vitamin C which is vital to a healthy immune system There is also evidence to support a folk remedy -- drinking unsweetened cranberry juice may help reduce your risk of urinary tract infections

Substances in blueberries may help keep the brain healthy In a small study researchers looked at the effect of blueberry juice on memory in adults in their seven-ties who had age-related memory decline Those who drank 2 12 cups of blueberry juice for 12 weeks had significant improvement on learning and memory tests compared to those who drank a non-juice beverage So choose blueberry juice to boost brain health

Researchers have only begun look-ing into the health benefits of acai juice which is made from a berry found in South America But early studies are promising Acai pulp appears to have a higher concentra-tion of antioxidants than cranber-ries blackberries strawberries or blueberries

Besides delivering a wealth of antioxidants some berry juices appear to have anti-inflammatory properties According to one study drinking cherry juice before and after your work-out can reduce exercise-induced muscle pain

Wersquove all heard that red wine in moderation can be good for the heart The same is true of red grape juice Red grape juice contains po-tent antioxiodants -- flavanoids and resveratrol The key is that wine and juice are made with the entire grape -- seeds skin and all When you eat fresh grapes you miss out on nutri-ents hiding in the seeds

Another viable folk remedy prune juice has long been recommended to relieve constipation It works because itrsquos extremely high in fiber and contains a natural laxative called sorbitol But the benefits of prune juice donrsquot stop there The juice is also packed with antioxidants iron and potassium

Itrsquos a staple at breakfast but does this popular juice carry its weight The good news is orange juice is loaded with vitamin C a star for its immune-boosting benefits In addition orange juice is often forti-fied with calcium and vitamin D nutrients that strengthen the bones

The brave non-violence of the

Subaanen peopleby Fr Shay Cullen PREDA

Some thousands of indigenous people all over the Philippines es-pecially in Mindanao especially the Subaanen people on the Zamboanga Peninsula have struggle for years to stop mining corporations from moving in to explore and mine the mountains and hills They are victims of corrupt government offi cials and even judges who are captivated by the vested inter-est of the mining industry

Some Indigenous people are sadly being forced to turn to armed resis-tance as the mining corporations move into their lands The Subaanen people have remained steadfastly non-violent and turned to the rule of law and trust in the constitution to protect them and their rightsBut is it enough

Hundreds of thousands of hectares of ancestral land has been threatened by the illegal and corrupt acts of some offi cials of the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Allegedly some of these offi cials are not on the side of the people in Mindanao but are for the rich and powerful mining interests and the banks that fund them

They allegedly enrich themselves by giving mining permits to companies

over ancestral lands which is forbidden by law It is at this level in the provinc-es where the anti-corruption campaign of President Aquino is weakest He has deposed a former president and a chief Justice but not yet the corrupt offi cials in Mindanao While the president is dedicated and honestly trying to clean up the stinking garbage of corrup-tion he cannot seemingly oust these entrenched offi cials the henchmen and women of powerful political families

They do not have allegiance to their department cabinet secretary or the president In fact they are ones who defy the president and are the hardest to get rid off The presidents politi-cal allies could be behind the corrupt practices that is opening the way for the illegal logging and issuance of mining permits They are pushing the president to override the provincial governments bans on open pit mining He must resist this pressure

Mining companies that get a permit to explore and mine also get a logging permit for the cutting the trees in the area alloted to them for mining This is totally destructive and is a way around the presidential ban on logging which goes on unabated Just drive through Mindanao and you will pass twenty or thirty huge trucks hauling cut logs I have seen them myself

For many years the Subaanen people and their supporters have stood peace-fully for their rights courageously and bravely to stop the local dynastic families and their cronies in the Inter-national mining industry from mining

their ancestral lands The Subaanen have been non-violent and trusted the democratic rule of law to save them

Their breakthrough cam in August 2011 when the Supreme Court of the Philippines granted a Writ of Ka-likasan (A protection of nature) to the people to protect the environment of the whole of the Zamboanga Peninsu-la A Writ of Kalikasan is a powerful legal remedy under Philippine law which provides for the protection ones right to a balanced and health-ful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature as provided for in Section 16 Article II of the Philippine Constitution It protects ones right for a healthy environment against damage of such magnitude that it threatens life health or property of inhabitants in two or more cities or provinces But the government of-fi cials are ignoring the Supreme Court order

Bishop Jiminez and three other bishops and an archbishop signed a letter to the London based sharehold-ers of the mining company RTZ-CRA trying to get the offi cials to stop the mining and logging wrote to the shareholders

In part he letter said ŠSince the company has the right to expatriate all the profi ts you the shareholders will probably earn some money However many of our people who own the lands where all the minerals are will become paupers Our rivers and seas

In travelling the countryside or while you are crossing the street driving your car taking the subway bedridden in the hospital or stuck in prison dont forget to say your Rosary every day Let the beads slip between your fi ngers they also slip between the fi n-gers of the Holy Father at the Vatican those of a grandmoth-er in Alaska a child on a hill in Rwanda a football player on a fi eld in Rio a Carthusian monk in his cell a Carmelite in her cloister or young evangelists on a mission

The Rosary is the certainly the prayer of the poor and the small the

sick and the suffering par excel-lence Yes always and everywhere not only in space but also in time The latitudes of the planet and longi-

tudes of history crisscross

The Hail Mary has moistened the lips of mil-lions of all ages races and nations How many chil-dren learned it as their fi rst prayer How many of the

dying whispered it as their ultimate testament The Hail Mary is a syn-thesis of two fi rst names Mary and Jesus

Father Daniel Ange

Never Forget to Say Your Rosary Everyday

Daily Meditation Listening With

Our Wounds To enter into solidarity with a suf-

fering person does not mean that we have to talk with that person about our own suffering Speaking about our own pain is seldom helpful for someone who is in pain A wounded healer is someone who can listen to a person in pain without having to speak about his or her own wounds When we have lived through a pain-ful depression we can listen with great attentiveness and love to a depressed friend without mentioning our experience Mostly it is better not to direct a suffering persons attention to ourselves We have to trust that our own bandaged wounds will allow us to listen to others with our whole beings That is healing

July 10 2012 Daily Meditation Text excerpts taken from Bread for the Journey by Henri JM Nouwen copy1997 HarperSanFrancisco All Scripture from The Jerusalem Bible copy1966 1967 and 1968 Darton Longman amp Todd and Doubleday amp Co Inc

Q How do you describe a luke-warm soul

A Jesus said lukewarm souls are souls who if He can only vomit out He will They are the souls He wanted to vomit out when He was in calvary Like in Geth-semane He said if it is only possible that He will not have to drink the cup He will not drink from it because these are the souls who are already in the light but decided to transfer to darkness That is why our Lord said what these souls are doing is the most hurting thing for Him

Q What makes Jesus happy

A What makes Jesus happy is if you can love your enemy Because how can you face God and beg for His mercy if you are not also merciful The truth is it is very diffi cult to love our enemy But there is a secret And the secret is fi rst of all we have to conquer our selves The truth is our num-ber one enemy is ourselves

because pride is in us hatred is in us all the negative are in us But if you are able to conquer your self if we are

able to defeat ourselves it means we do not have anymore pride no more hatred no more envy no more nega-tive and if all the negative are gone

it will be very easy to love your enemy

The truth is it is very easy to say ldquo I forgive yourdquo but it only comes from the mouth Deep inside the negatives are still in your heart and if it is not removed it will remain with you forever That is why you need to remove the negative You can only remove these if you love your enemy Because if you love your enemy ev-erytime you pray he is always included in your prayer and everytime you pray for your enemy slowly the thorn is be-ing removed and if the thorn is removed completely that will make Jesus very happy

To love an enemy means it is not necessary to like Just pray for him Do not say anything against him

a good chance that we will be able to extend this forward momentum as we anticipate better fi rst-half earnings from our listed fi rms The latest sovereign credit rating up-grade also provides additional support for future growth so overall I think we are in a terrifi c position to keep on im-provingrdquo PSE president Hans Sicat said in a press statement

Last July 5 the PSEi again beat its previous record high to post a fresh all-time high at 536998 As of July 6 the PSEi was the top performing market in Asia with a gain of 227 percent year-to-date beating bourses in Singapore Indonesia Malaysia Thailand Vietnam Hong Kong India and China among others

In the fi rst six months cyclical stocks banking and property led the PSEirsquos rise in the fi rst quarter albeit all indices were on the green

The fi nancial index emerged as the best performer in the fi rst half after surging by 346 percent to the 130442 level The fi nancial index was likewise the best performer in terms of bot-tomline based on fi rst-quarter earnings culled by the PSE

The next best performer was the property index which jumped by 301 percent to fi nish at 192748 in the fi rst half

The holding fi rms index rose by 281 percent to the 448880 level

Other indices performed as follows in the fi rst six months the industrial index rallied by 108 percent to fi nish at 783957 the services index climbed by 88 percent to 175902 -the mining and oil index crept higher by 48 percent to 2462948 points

ldquoJust like our main index investor confi dence in Philippines Inc is at an all-time high Whatrsquos remarkable is that we have been able to achieve unprec-edented growth even in the midst of ongoing uncertainties in the Western hemisphere and a cooling Chinese economy This is a testament to the effectiveness of the reforms that the country has undertaken which further contributed to the stable macroeconomic environmentrdquo Sicat said

The PSEirsquos fi nish in the fi rst six months was higher by 95520 points from its previous close of 429121 in the same period last year

The combined market capitalization of issues listed on the PSE during the January to June period stood at P1005 trillion up by 128 percent from a year ago

Total turnover for the fi rst half reached P94773 billion or 432 percent higher than the P66181 billion registered in the same period the previous year Average daily turnover stood at P764 billion an increase of 455 percent year-on-year

Danilova attributed this to the Russian language which ldquois not as polite as Englishhelliprdquo

ldquoSo when Russians translate directly from Russian to English it can sound rude to an English speaker even if they donrsquot mean it tordquo Danilova ldquoRussians tend to consider British people extremely polite due to their courteous way of speakingrdquo

Shooting StarPoem No 9

I wish I was a shooting star streaking through the night sky

Being here and there in brief fl ash of light

And really nowhere to be found

Me in your life being caught in your universe

Running around in circles ever nearing your space

Seeking the face by which I am doomed to certain death

Like a fl ash like a bang I am nowhere to be found

Me in your life caught in your universe streaking aimlessly

towards destruction envying the celestial dance between Moon

and Sun Sun and earth earth and heaven seeking freedom

from my desolated journey in you I found destruction through

my destruction I found my freedom

Moringa leaves are given to improve anemia in infants children and adults because of its high iron content Iron tablets cause stomach distress constipa-tion and are diffi cult to digest Iron tab-lets are not easy to obtain in these poor communities Given their compromised digestive systems due to malnutrition the iron tablets would most likely not even be utilized by the body

Researchers have not identifi ed all the various elements in the plant that affect these health problems It may be that in the overall improvement of the patients nutritional status that these imbalances are corrected Improved nutrition supports the patients own body mechanisms to heal and correct these conditions

Ordinario was aided by a team of radiation health staff which included deployed technicians deployed from stateside commands to support Op-eration Tomadachi ldquoThe augmented staff from different Navy Medicine Commands was vital part of being able to carry out our missionrdquo said Ordinario ldquoBeing recognized for the efforts the radiation health team did during Operation Tomadachi

Seaoil karter Gabriel Cabrera along with fellow Filipino Flynn Jackes fi nally ended the half a decade title drought for the Philippines in the Mini-ROK class of the Asian Karting Open Championshipsrsquo opening leg at the Kartodromo de Coloane in Macau The 5-leg international race series is regarded as the most prestigious karting tilt in Asia

Racing abroad for the fi rst time 12 year old Cabrera topped the time trials at 103674 despite the absence of a coach and with only his chief mechanic Joesefi lo Bariquit in tow

The Philippines enjoyed a momentous 1-2-3 moment at the time trials with Cabrera grabbing pole position followed by Xedrei Daquigan in second and Flynn Jackes in third

Enduring an abdomen injury incurred from a crash during the fi nals warm-up Cabrera nevertheless decided to continue to race in the fi nals Surging to 2nd place from 5th in the fi nal grid the excruciating pain however led Cabrera to slip to 4th place by the end of the race

Although bowing to Jackes for the top spot Cabrerarsquos admirable show of resilience and perseverance endeared him to fans and foes alike who knew of his injury In true AKOC camaraderie Cabrera even found an unlikely ally in Taiwanese rival Lin Tsen Han who along with his crew immediately as-

sisted Cabrera as he fi nally collapsed in pain at the weigh-in area

ldquoThere is no such thing as a broken spirit only broken bones But not even that can stop a Filipino karterrsquos will to winrdquo says Cabrera as he was whisked off to the Kiang Wu Hospital to receive emergency medical treatment

He eventually was stable enough to return to the track a few hours later in time to receive his 3rd runner-up trophy at the awarding ceremonies Cabrera is the son of Los Angeles-based business-man Richard Cabrera and is slated to compete in the seriesrsquo second leg later this month in Manila

Cabrera Win Hearts In Asian Karting

by Steven Buller KIvaorgAccording to a recent article in Ma-

laya Business Insight a Filipino news-paper there were 9050 bank facilities operating in the Philippines at the end of 2011 At the same time there were 15600 pawnshops and 9500 licensed

money changers that were licensed to provide fi nancial services such as remittance transactions and bill pay-ments

The Philippines are fragmented by nature The country has 7000 islands 2000 of which are inhabited Since most banks are in urban areas reaching clients on the smaller remote islands can be extremely diffi cult and costly In a country where the savings rate is abysmal many people depend on credit for everyday expenses Non-bank facilities like pawnshops which are regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (or BSP the Philippines central bank) fi ll this gap

The BSP is currently considering allowing convenience stores or ldquosari-sari shopsrdquo to become banking agents as well They would be allowed to offer a variety of services including handling remittance transactions As nearly one out of 10 Filipinos lives and works abroad remittance transactions represent a huge portion of demand for fi nancial services In fact the Philip-

pines is one of the top fi ve recipients of remittances globally receiving about USD$19 billion annually

While this informal part of the banking sector certainly promotes fi nancial inclusion the BSP has made efforts to formalize the industry In 2010 it passed an amendment to certain banking regulations allowing for banks to establish microbanking offi ces (ldquoMBOsrdquo) MBOs are much smaller and cheaper to set up than bank branches They also offer a wider range of services that are important to Filipinos including microinsurance electronic money transfers social secu-rity payouts and savings products

Cayabyab lauds ABS-CBN Philharmonic

OrchestraABS CBN News | MANILA Phil-

ippines -- Acclaimed composer Ryan Cayabyab lauded the newly formed ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra which will make its fi rst major public debut at the ldquoIcons at the Arenardquo con-cert at the SM Mall of Asia Arena

Rehearsing this afternoon was a breeze The rare event on Saturday combines only the best Filipino art-ists together in the concert with the best musicians of the ABS-CBN Phil-harmonic What more can I ask for as musical director Ang ganda at ang sarap ng tugtuganrdquo said Cayabyab who is the musical director of

the all-star OPM concertCayabyab who composed OPM

classics such as Kay Ganda ng Ating Musika called the orchestra the newest most exciting addition to the top artists of the Kapamilya Network

He praised the orchestra members as arguably the best crossover musi-cians of the country who can perform all types and genres of music led by

a formidable music director Gerard Salonga

Early this year ABS-CBN and First Philippine Holdings Inc joined hands to promote an advocacy for Filipinos to connect and experience ldquorealrdquo and ldquogoodrdquo music Thus the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra was created to defy the notion that a full orches-tra is only limited to classical music

The 40-piece musical ensemble is also a fi rst in the history of ABS-CBN

ABS-CBN chairman Eugenio ldquoGabbyrdquo Lopez III stressed that the orchestra aims to provide music of the highest caliber to the general audience

ABS-CBN president Charo Santos-Concio on the other hand expressed her full support for the orchestra

and her optimism that this will be a signifi cant platform to celebrate the character and soul of Filipino music

According to ABS-CBN Philhar-monic Orchestrarsquos executive director Mickey Muntildeoz the orchestra shall also service the performance and music needs of ABS-CBN such as concerts as well as the musical scor-ing for movies

Muntildeoz also revealed that a youth orchestra is also being formed to train indigent but talented young Pinoys to play musical instruments

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada

(In the last chapter PMA cadet Julius Madrigal buys a bible as New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Carlo entered his room from his bath He donned on a t-shirt from his strewn clothes which he would have to pack the following day Over the shirt he pulled over a lengthwise striped sweater which made him appear taller than his five foot and a half frame He then went to the mirror and combed his still damp straight hair parting it on its left side He smiled checking his well set teeth He felt clean

Cleanliness is next to Godliness Monday after the New

Year he would be back to nearer Godliness His two weeks vacation would be over He would be back to where he would like to dedicate himself to be really next to Godli-ness

Again he would be back where everyday the brrriinnnggg brrr-riiiinnggg brrriinnnnggg wake up bell that permeates throughout the seminary walls would swirl into his eardrums and into his innermost soul jolting him to slide off the bed and be on his knees when sunrays slice through the windows of where he had confined himself to be nearer to Godliness Still in the throes of being awake his right hand flies to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Hail Mary full of gracehelliphe falls back into the abyss of nothingness but a second alarm ndash briiinnggg briiinggg brii-ingggg would bring back the swirl into his eardrums permeating into

his soul jolting him back to the re-ality that he is already on his knees Hail Mary full of gracehelliphas he said three already He would goad himself and fight against falling back into the abyss of nothingness for the umpteenth time Has he said three Hail Maries already He decides that since he had lost count he would complete three Hail Maries even if he already went over the count He would add an Our Father and a Glory Be

He gets up and staggers himself towards the exit of the dormitory towards the wash basins He passes other seminarians still in various pose of waking up on their knees or staggering out like himself The silkiness or fadedness of their paja-mas distinguishes who among them come from richer or poorer families

After freshening up he dons his white shirt and pants and black neck-tie He then marches out to join the other seminarians lining up in front of the chapel They appear like equal angels without wings Only tie clips shoes belts or brands of watches distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families

Equally mandated each one clasps his hands palms together on his chest They proceed to their assigned pews while cherubim like hymns fill the air

And the rite beginsDominus VobiscumhellipEt cum

spiritu tuohellipOra pro nobis kneelhellipsithellipstandhellipsit againhellipmostly kneel - all in sanctity to commune with the Spirit and the saints

By the offertory sanctity could be broken as Carlorsquos stomach as well as othersrsquo would growl pleading that the fangs of hunger be quelled But they have to wait though now find it hard to be in communion with the Spirit and the saints

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Finally it would be lsquoGo in peace the mass is endedrsquo

In seeking peace for their hunger they still have to be saintly tip-toe out of the chapel Their shoes then would scrape on the hallways in they dash to the dormitories in the rush to change into their school clothes

Now their over-all clothing demeanors ndash shirts pants sweaters socks shoes ndash starkly distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families Nonetheless richer or poorer they remained equal in the need to quell the fangs of hun-ger as they rush to the rectory hall

A sunny side two sausages fried rice from leftovers the night before crowd on each of the eight plates on each of the ten tables at the rec-tory The coffee would be soggy but would still be a welcome brew to enliven our breakfast which is equal for all The food they are about to receive from His bounty made them all equal except that there are also apples and juice and non soggy cof-fee at the head table where the Flem-ish rector Flemish assistant rector and Flemish principal are

Their stomachs would now really be howling gurgling clamoring for whatever they have to partake on but they all had to equally wait for the last seminarian to enter the dining hall half embarrassed half rever-ent The rector frowning for the delay would glare at the late comer before his right hand would fly to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Bless us Oh Lord in these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord Amen

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Amen

The last vestiges of reverence would now be broken as the ter-restrial need to fortify onersquos body takes precedence over the needs of the soul Chairs screech as the seminarians slide unto them Spoons and forks bang to scrape on eggs sausages and rice as they slide from the plates into munching mouths to mediate the growling gurgling stomachs

After a while Carlo would be satisfied with the egg two sausages fried rice and soggy coffee He would then have more time to often wonder why those Flemish priests also have apples juice and non soggy coffee while the seminar-ians do not Often he dismisses

the thought to just because they are already priests priests who are white because they have a different culture Nonetheless he often asks himself didnrsquot Jesus Christ share the same enliven bread and fish with his apostles

Often he would also feel guilty that having such kind of thoughts about inequality with the priests could be sacrilegious and wonders if he had to go to the con-fessional for that

Such thoughts however would vanish as he immerses himself with the day of classes ndash geometry Latin physics basketball volleyball lunch more studies ping-pong ro-sary and the long litanies and night prayers

The thoughts of inequality how-ever would invade his mind again the following day right after the br-riinnggg brrriinggg brriingggg and the regimen begins

And the regimen he would be go-ing back to made the short Christ-mas holiday break really shorter Nonetheless he had dedicated himself to the vocation and glad that no one or nothing during the vaca-tion made him feel that it was really short He had again passed the test of being out of the seminary walls with still the resolve that he would be going back for Godlinessrsquos sake

Vacations are not only respites from the sanctified isolationrsquos regimen They are tests to how one would not succumb to the calls of the human flesh in the outside world Should one not be able to resist temptations it would be better for one to fall away from the calling earlier than later after one is fully vested when the faithful would be subject to disillusionment

Nonetheless tonight Carlo would indulge in a simple call of the flesh He was ready for the dinner prepared by his mother one much better than the feasts of the priests

The MoringaMalunggay Tree with its edible leaves flowers and pods is one of most power packed nutritious trees in the world It goes by many different names drumkstick tree the Miracle tree the Never Die Tree the Miracle tree

I wrote an article on that subject here but it is also one of the most healing trees in the world All of the tree is ei-ther used for food medicine or cooking It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for hundreds of years to both prevent and treat almost 300 diseasesThe in-formation in this article is not based on double blind research but on the histori-cal and current usage of Moringa leaves flowers and pods in India and many other countries This is how the people have used it in the past and how they use it now Much of this information was observed and documented in the different health projects by physicians in their treatment of AIDS malnutrition and disease In India Ayurvedic physi-cians use it in their standard treatment protocols

How can Moringa leaves have an im-pact on so many problems Many health problems are due to poor nutrition malnutrition and imbalanced disease states which result in immune system breakdown and disease When you correct those imbalances and nutritional deficiencies with super packed nutritious food it is bound to improve health and disease states The ability for Moringa leaves flowers bark and pods to have such diverse healing effects is due to the vitamins minerals antioxidants and healing elements the tree contains

A review of Moringas power packed nutrition

Here is a nutritional breakdown of Fresh Moringa Leaves 7 times the Vitamin C of Oranges 4 times the Cal-cium of Milk 3 times the Potassium of Bananas 2 times the Protein of Yogurt 4 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and frac34 the iron of Spinach

Moringa leaves when dried become a even greater powerhouse of nutri-tion containing frac12 the Vitamin C of Oranges 17 times the Calcium of Milk 15 times the Potassium of Bananas 9 times the Protein of Yogurt 25 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and 20 times the Iron in Spinach All elements except the Vitamin C is increased when you dry the leaves under low temperatures Drying the leaves in direct sunlight decreases its nutritional values

How Moringa and Artemisia Annua Leaves benefit AIDS Patients

There are health projects going on

in Tanzania Musoma and other areas There is a real AIDS crisis in these areas In these AIDS cases the doctors have found that the combination of two herbs Moringa and Artemisia Annua improved the energy stamina and CD4 counts of the AIDS patients Some of their patients came in so weak they were not able to walk or care for them-selves They improved so dramatically that many were able to go back to work and many stayed to help the incoming patients These dramatic improvements were documented over and over again by the doctors in these health projects

How the herbs were used in the treat-ment protocols

The physicians combined dried Mor-inga Leaves with Artemisia Annua and then added one heaping teaspoonful of the powder to make a tea A liter of tea using 5 grams of the powder was given 3 times a day to the patient while the symptoms were acute Later when the patients improved it was reduced to a cup a day When you consider the super nutrition in Moringa leaves it is easy to understand how the Aids patients would improve The power packed nutrition would bolster their immune function strength stamina and ability to live a more normal active life

Moringa does NOT cure AIDS but helps the AIDS patient live longer and improves their quality of life and health Often the AIDS patient does not die from AIDS but from one of the opportunistinfections that prey on their compromised immune system

Moringa Leaves effects on blood pres-sure blood sugar breast milk produc-tion and anemia

In India the leaves are used to normalize blood pressure and to treat anxiety In 1994 a team of researchers identified a new nitride and mustard oil glycoside that demonstrated its ability to lower blood pressure

An infusion of the leaf is used to reduce sugar levels though not as ef-fectively as the standard hypoglycemia medicine

Moringa leaves mixed with honey then followed with coconut milk drunk 2 to 3 times a day is used for diarrhea dysentery and colitis

Moringa leaves have been observed and documented by doctors in the health projects to increase breast milk produc-tion and the health of nursing mothers This is due to the nutrition in the leaves especially the protein calcium and iron

Refreshing News | 7122012 -- Top experts separate the fact from myth once and for all--and reveal some surprises in the process Myth 1 Eating at Night Makes You Fat FACT If your overall calorie intake is appropriate for weight loss or maintenance it may benefit you to eat something after dinner says Joni Rampolla RD Director of Nu-trition and Wellness for Medifast

Late-night calories will ultimately get used the next day (and even while you sleep) To keep your en-ergy levels up it is better to spread your calories out during the day when your body needs fuel Aim to eat something every two or three hours This will stabilize blood sugar levels and help you feel full and energized all day

If you do need a late-night snack consider keeping it to 200 calories or less

Myth 2 Hunger is a sign you need food FACT The body commonly sends cues of hunger when it is dehydrated sleep deprived or sensing psycho-logical hunger If yoursquore not drinking enough water or getting enough sleep this alone can cause you to sense hunger even though yoursquore full Rampolla says

Myth 3 Losing weight is harder than keeping it off FACT More than 90 percent of dieters regain the weight they lost (or more) once they ldquofinishrdquo their plan Rampolla says If you resume eating the foods you ate before los-ing weight you will gain the weight back-and maybe a few extra pounds Herersquos why After weight loss your slimmer body requires fewer calo-ries to function Plus if your weight-loss plan does not include enough protein you might lose muscle mass in addition to excess fat Why thatrsquos bad Muscle burns more calories than fat does so losing muscle will lower your metabolism

Every day make a positive decision to stay on track with your new healthy lifestyle Maintaining healthy eating habits is a lifelong commitment and takes persistence Rampolla says

Myth 4 Exercise makes you tired FACT As the body gets in better shape most people feel exercising gives them more energy than before Regular exercise can also help fight fatigue improve your sleep and manage your stress says Gina Crome MS MPH RD and Top 10 FitOrbitcom trainer

Myth 5 Working out is a big time commitment FACT To main-tain a healthy weight you can work out as little as 20 to 40 minutes most days of the week If your goal is to lose weight itrsquos advised that you aim for about 45 to 60 minutes each day Crome says

The best part You donrsquot need to fit it all into one session Most of us can find five to 10 minutes to spare

at different points in the day Using these spare minutes throughout the day to be active adds up quickly and eventually becomes a regular part of your healthy lifestyle

Myth 6 Lower-body workouts will give you lean legs faster FACT The type of exercise you do does not affect the number of fat cells in a specific area Crome says Even if you do 100 abs exer- cises every day without proper nutri-tion quality sleep and a well-round- ed fitness routine you might never achieve the toned flat stomach you want You will help develop the muscles in that area but that doesnrsquot equate to fat loss

When the body loses

fat it does so

in a

sys-

temic fashion-all over the body at the same time Aside from surgical procedures such as liposuction there is no way to direct or influence the elimi-nation of fat from

specific areas Crome says Myth 7 You should

only eat carbs when yoursquore ac-tive FACT This myth is based on the belief that since carbs are the bodyrsquos preferred energy source you shouldnrsquot eat them when yoursquore inactive-like most people are in the evening However many individuals have atypical schedules or regularly exercise after work These people benefit from consuming appropri-ate amounts of carbohydrates in the evening to fuel their lifestyle says John Bosse RD and Member of the Research amp Development team for USANA Health Sciences

For someone who is sedentary in the evening a small high-protein snack such as 23 cup of full-fat cottage cheese or a protein shake can actually help you stay slim Research shows that eating high-quality protein at regular intervals promotes better body composition and since a lot of time passes between dinner

and breakfast this small snack is a smart strategic move

Myth 8 Heavy weights will make you bulky FACT Unless yoursquore taking in substances that alter your hormone profile (anabolic ste-roids) it is highly unlikely that you will gain large amounts of muscle Bosse says Doing a high number of reps (20+) using light weights and stopping each set well before the point of muscular failure certainly helps improve fitness and burn calo-ries but itrsquos not the best way to get a lean toned body What is Integrate periods of heavier training (six to 10 reps) with some sets taken to muscular failure The ability to build muscle is very different for men and women and should not be confused Bosse says

Myth 9 You should do a juice cleanse to detox FACT Our bod-ies are extremely smart and have built-in processes for detoxing every day says Kristen Carlucci RD reg-istered dietitian and nutrition expert for Pitney Bowes Inc

Yes people lose weight on juice cleanses but not because of any mir-acle ingredient or because your body is cleared of toxins that are slowing

down your metabolism Weight lost during a cleanse is most likely

a result of taking in far fewer calories than

usual While fill-ing up on fruits

and vegetables is a positive thing the problem with juice cleanses is that they are a tem-porary fix They donrsquot teach you the balanced nutrition habits you should be forming in order to lose weight and keep it off for good Carlucci says

Myth 10 Carbs are the en-emy FACT With the onset of the low-carb diet craze many people deny themselves this major food group This concept is misunder-stood because itrsquos not the carbohy-drates themselves that cause weight gain itrsquos the fact that for many of us itrsquos difficult to control the portion sizes Carlucci says

Instead of cutting out carbs alto-gether (which does not sound fun at all) focus on choosing the right carbs in the proper portions Stick with whole-grain pastas and breads (each slice should have 100 calories or less and should contain at least 3 grams of fiber) and try to fill no more than 14 of your plate with starch Limit pasta to 1 cup cooked and choose potatoes that are about the size of a computer mouse

The 10 Most Misunderstood Diet and Fitness Strategies Fatty Acid Found in Fish Prevents Age-

Related Vision Loss Study Suggests

ScienceDaily (May 30 2012) mdash An omega-3 fatty acid found in fish known as DHA prevented age-relat-ed vision loss in lab tests according to recent medical research from the University of Alberta

Yves Sauveacute a researcher in the Faculty of Medicine amp Dentistry and his team discovered that lab models fed DHA did not accumulate a toxic molecule at the back of the eyes The toxin normally builds up in the retina with age and causes vision loss

ldquoThis discovery could result in a very broad therapeutic userdquo says Sauveacute whose work was recently published in the peer-reviewed jour-nal Investigative Ophthalmology amp Visual Science

ldquoIn normal aging this toxin increases twofold as we age But in lab tests there was no increase in this toxin whatsoever This has never been demonstrated before -- that supplementing the diet with DHA could make this kind of differencerdquo

The team recently started another study looking at people who have age-related macular degeneration a condition that results in loss of central vision and is the main cause of blindness in people over the age of 50 The researchers will look for DNA markers in the blood of study participants The team wants to determine whether participants with certain genetic markers will respond better to increasing amounts of DHA in their diet and if so why

Sauveacute is a researcher in the departments of ophthalmology and physiology at the U of A

Various organizations funded the research the primary funder was the Canadian Institutes of Health Research

Courtesy of WebMD -- Who doesnrsquot enjoy a tall cool glass of juice The color is vibrant the taste sweet and itrsquos good for you too Not so fast say some dietitians Although the best kinds of juice deliver a bounty of vitamins the worst are hardly better than liquid candy WebMD helps you spot the difference

Drinking your veggies is a conve-nient way to add powerful plant-based nutrients to your diet The lycopene in tomato juice appears to lower the risk of prostate cancer Beet juice may reduce blood pres-sure Pulpy vegetable juice is also packed with fiber that can help con-trol hunger And all of these benefits come without a catch Vegetable juice has far less sugar and fewer calories than the typical fruit juice but it is high in sodium unless you choose the low salt version

Be on alert for the terms juice cocktail juice-flavored beverage or juice drink Most of these prod-ucts contain only small amounts of real juice The main ingredients are usually water and some type of sugar such as high-fructose corn syrup Nutritionally these drinks are similar to most soft drinks mdash rich in sugar and calories but low in nutri-ents Research suggests that sug-ary fruit drinks put kids at risk for obesity and related health problems The 2010 Dietary Guidelines recom-mends water over sugary drinks

If yoursquore only going to drink one glass of juice each day you want to make it a good one So letrsquos ex-plore which juices offer the biggest nutritional payoff per sip Pomegran-ate juice tops the list Itrsquos high in sugar and calories but delivers an abundant dose of antioxidants These substances appear to protect brain function and may ward off cancer In one study 8 ounces of pomegranate juice daily reduced the recurrence of prostate cancer

Cranberry juice is packed with vitamin C which is vital to a healthy immune system There is also evidence to support a folk remedy -- drinking unsweetened cranberry juice may help reduce your risk of urinary tract infections

Substances in blueberries may help keep the brain healthy In a small study researchers looked at the effect of blueberry juice on memory in adults in their seven-ties who had age-related memory decline Those who drank 2 12 cups of blueberry juice for 12 weeks had significant improvement on learning and memory tests compared to those who drank a non-juice beverage So choose blueberry juice to boost brain health

Researchers have only begun look-ing into the health benefits of acai juice which is made from a berry found in South America But early studies are promising Acai pulp appears to have a higher concentra-tion of antioxidants than cranber-ries blackberries strawberries or blueberries

Besides delivering a wealth of antioxidants some berry juices appear to have anti-inflammatory properties According to one study drinking cherry juice before and after your work-out can reduce exercise-induced muscle pain

Wersquove all heard that red wine in moderation can be good for the heart The same is true of red grape juice Red grape juice contains po-tent antioxiodants -- flavanoids and resveratrol The key is that wine and juice are made with the entire grape -- seeds skin and all When you eat fresh grapes you miss out on nutri-ents hiding in the seeds

Another viable folk remedy prune juice has long been recommended to relieve constipation It works because itrsquos extremely high in fiber and contains a natural laxative called sorbitol But the benefits of prune juice donrsquot stop there The juice is also packed with antioxidants iron and potassium

Itrsquos a staple at breakfast but does this popular juice carry its weight The good news is orange juice is loaded with vitamin C a star for its immune-boosting benefits In addition orange juice is often forti-fied with calcium and vitamin D nutrients that strengthen the bones

The brave non-violence of the

Subaanen peopleby Fr Shay Cullen PREDA

Some thousands of indigenous people all over the Philippines es-pecially in Mindanao especially the Subaanen people on the Zamboanga Peninsula have struggle for years to stop mining corporations from moving in to explore and mine the mountains and hills They are victims of corrupt government offi cials and even judges who are captivated by the vested inter-est of the mining industry

Some Indigenous people are sadly being forced to turn to armed resis-tance as the mining corporations move into their lands The Subaanen people have remained steadfastly non-violent and turned to the rule of law and trust in the constitution to protect them and their rightsBut is it enough

Hundreds of thousands of hectares of ancestral land has been threatened by the illegal and corrupt acts of some offi cials of the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Allegedly some of these offi cials are not on the side of the people in Mindanao but are for the rich and powerful mining interests and the banks that fund them

They allegedly enrich themselves by giving mining permits to companies

over ancestral lands which is forbidden by law It is at this level in the provinc-es where the anti-corruption campaign of President Aquino is weakest He has deposed a former president and a chief Justice but not yet the corrupt offi cials in Mindanao While the president is dedicated and honestly trying to clean up the stinking garbage of corrup-tion he cannot seemingly oust these entrenched offi cials the henchmen and women of powerful political families

They do not have allegiance to their department cabinet secretary or the president In fact they are ones who defy the president and are the hardest to get rid off The presidents politi-cal allies could be behind the corrupt practices that is opening the way for the illegal logging and issuance of mining permits They are pushing the president to override the provincial governments bans on open pit mining He must resist this pressure

Mining companies that get a permit to explore and mine also get a logging permit for the cutting the trees in the area alloted to them for mining This is totally destructive and is a way around the presidential ban on logging which goes on unabated Just drive through Mindanao and you will pass twenty or thirty huge trucks hauling cut logs I have seen them myself

For many years the Subaanen people and their supporters have stood peace-fully for their rights courageously and bravely to stop the local dynastic families and their cronies in the Inter-national mining industry from mining

their ancestral lands The Subaanen have been non-violent and trusted the democratic rule of law to save them

Their breakthrough cam in August 2011 when the Supreme Court of the Philippines granted a Writ of Ka-likasan (A protection of nature) to the people to protect the environment of the whole of the Zamboanga Peninsu-la A Writ of Kalikasan is a powerful legal remedy under Philippine law which provides for the protection ones right to a balanced and health-ful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature as provided for in Section 16 Article II of the Philippine Constitution It protects ones right for a healthy environment against damage of such magnitude that it threatens life health or property of inhabitants in two or more cities or provinces But the government of-fi cials are ignoring the Supreme Court order

Bishop Jiminez and three other bishops and an archbishop signed a letter to the London based sharehold-ers of the mining company RTZ-CRA trying to get the offi cials to stop the mining and logging wrote to the shareholders

In part he letter said ŠSince the company has the right to expatriate all the profi ts you the shareholders will probably earn some money However many of our people who own the lands where all the minerals are will become paupers Our rivers and seas

In travelling the countryside or while you are crossing the street driving your car taking the subway bedridden in the hospital or stuck in prison dont forget to say your Rosary every day Let the beads slip between your fi ngers they also slip between the fi n-gers of the Holy Father at the Vatican those of a grandmoth-er in Alaska a child on a hill in Rwanda a football player on a fi eld in Rio a Carthusian monk in his cell a Carmelite in her cloister or young evangelists on a mission

The Rosary is the certainly the prayer of the poor and the small the

sick and the suffering par excel-lence Yes always and everywhere not only in space but also in time The latitudes of the planet and longi-

tudes of history crisscross

The Hail Mary has moistened the lips of mil-lions of all ages races and nations How many chil-dren learned it as their fi rst prayer How many of the

dying whispered it as their ultimate testament The Hail Mary is a syn-thesis of two fi rst names Mary and Jesus

Father Daniel Ange

Never Forget to Say Your Rosary Everyday

Daily Meditation Listening With

Our Wounds To enter into solidarity with a suf-

fering person does not mean that we have to talk with that person about our own suffering Speaking about our own pain is seldom helpful for someone who is in pain A wounded healer is someone who can listen to a person in pain without having to speak about his or her own wounds When we have lived through a pain-ful depression we can listen with great attentiveness and love to a depressed friend without mentioning our experience Mostly it is better not to direct a suffering persons attention to ourselves We have to trust that our own bandaged wounds will allow us to listen to others with our whole beings That is healing

July 10 2012 Daily Meditation Text excerpts taken from Bread for the Journey by Henri JM Nouwen copy1997 HarperSanFrancisco All Scripture from The Jerusalem Bible copy1966 1967 and 1968 Darton Longman amp Todd and Doubleday amp Co Inc

Q How do you describe a luke-warm soul

A Jesus said lukewarm souls are souls who if He can only vomit out He will They are the souls He wanted to vomit out when He was in calvary Like in Geth-semane He said if it is only possible that He will not have to drink the cup He will not drink from it because these are the souls who are already in the light but decided to transfer to darkness That is why our Lord said what these souls are doing is the most hurting thing for Him

Q What makes Jesus happy

A What makes Jesus happy is if you can love your enemy Because how can you face God and beg for His mercy if you are not also merciful The truth is it is very diffi cult to love our enemy But there is a secret And the secret is fi rst of all we have to conquer our selves The truth is our num-ber one enemy is ourselves

because pride is in us hatred is in us all the negative are in us But if you are able to conquer your self if we are

able to defeat ourselves it means we do not have anymore pride no more hatred no more envy no more nega-tive and if all the negative are gone

it will be very easy to love your enemy

The truth is it is very easy to say ldquo I forgive yourdquo but it only comes from the mouth Deep inside the negatives are still in your heart and if it is not removed it will remain with you forever That is why you need to remove the negative You can only remove these if you love your enemy Because if you love your enemy ev-erytime you pray he is always included in your prayer and everytime you pray for your enemy slowly the thorn is be-ing removed and if the thorn is removed completely that will make Jesus very happy

To love an enemy means it is not necessary to like Just pray for him Do not say anything against him

Last July 5 the PSEi again beat its previous record high to post a fresh all-time high at 536998 As of July 6 the PSEi was the top performing market in Asia with a gain of 227 percent year-to-date beating bourses in Singapore Indonesia Malaysia Thailand Vietnam Hong Kong India and China among others

In the fi rst six months cyclical stocks banking and property led the PSEirsquos rise in the fi rst quarter albeit all indices were on the green

The fi nancial index emerged as the best performer in the fi rst half after surging by 346 percent to the 130442 level The fi nancial index was likewise the best performer in terms of bot-tomline based on fi rst-quarter earnings culled by the PSE

The next best performer was the property index which jumped by 301 percent to fi nish at 192748 in the fi rst half

The holding fi rms index rose by 281 percent to the 448880 level

Other indices performed as follows in the fi rst six months the industrial index rallied by 108 percent to fi nish at 783957 the services index climbed by 88 percent to 175902 -the mining and oil index crept higher by 48 percent to 2462948 points

ldquoJust like our main index investor confi dence in Philippines Inc is at an all-time high Whatrsquos remarkable is that we have been able to achieve unprec-edented growth even in the midst of ongoing uncertainties in the Western hemisphere and a cooling Chinese economy This is a testament to the effectiveness of the reforms that the country has undertaken which further contributed to the stable macroeconomic environmentrdquo Sicat said

The PSEirsquos fi nish in the fi rst six months was higher by 95520 points from its previous close of 429121 in the same period last year

Skyscanner saidRussia got 17 percent and

10 percent for UKldquoRussians can be more direct when

talking which may be misconstrued as being ruderdquo said Tatiana Da-nilova Russian market manager for Skyscanner ldquoHowever this is more a difference in culture than genuine rudenessrdquo

Danilova attributed this to the Russian language which ldquois not as polite as Englishhelliprdquo

ldquoSo when Russians translate directly from Russian to English it can sound rude to an English speaker even if they donrsquot mean it tordquo Danilova ldquoRussians tend to consider British people extremely polite due to their courteous way of speakingrdquo

Pacifi c Islander communityldquoAfter being a mentee for many years

I once asked my mentor how I could repay him for his kindness He told me to help 100 other people and my debt would be repaid in full Irsquod like to help at least a million people It is great to be recognized by your peers but I feel I should be recognizing the commu-nity for their steadfast and unwavering support for me and my colleagues at IW Grouprdquo said Bill Imada Chairman amp CEO IW Group Inc - Philanthropy Leadership honoree

In spite of the challenging fundraising environment APCF was successful at raising more than $150000 that was dis-tributed among its 29 Affi liate Agencies which provide health and human ser-vices to Asian and Pacifi c Islander (API) and other ethnic communities in need throughout Los Angeles County The mission of APCF is to build healthier and stronger API communities working with its affi liates corporate and commu-nity partners and individuals to generate resources for this often overlooked and under-served population

In addition special grant presentations were made by Verizon and Walmart totaling $100000 For the second year Verizon is funding APCFrsquos scholarship program for students pursuing higher education in the science technology engineering and math related fi elds In a time when students are faced with signifi cantly rising costs of obtaining a college degree it is important that there is support for these students in the Asian and Pacifi c Islander communities A total of $25000 in scholarship awards will be given out in 2012

ldquoVerizonrsquos partnership with the Asian Pacifi c Community Fund is creating op-portunities for young people to succeed and pursue their dreams here in Califor-nia and across the countryrdquo said Gene

Shooting StarPoem No 9

I wish I was a shooting star streaking through the night sky

Being here and there in brief fl ash of light

And really nowhere to be found

Me in your life being caught in your universe

Running around in circles ever nearing your space

Seeking the face by which I am doomed to certain death

Like a fl ash like a bang I am nowhere to be found

Me in your life caught in your universe streaking aimlessly

towards destruction envying the celestial dance between Moon

and Sun Sun and earth earth and heaven seeking freedom

from my desolated journey in you I found destruction through

my destruction I found my freedom

copy 2009 Michael R Tagudin

Ordinario created the only Navy dosimetry program that manages multiple afl oat and ashore command programs from one location and the fi rst overseas dosimetry hub for Department of Defense personnel in Japan The program monitored personnel for external radiation exposure while working in support of Operation Tomadachi

Ordinario said ldquoLooking at the big

Ordinario was aided by a team of radiation health staff which included deployed technicians deployed from stateside commands to support Op-eration Tomadachi ldquoThe augmented staff from different Navy Medicine Commands was vital part of being able to carry out our missionrdquo said Ordinario ldquoBeing recognized for the efforts the radiation health team did during Operation Tomadachi

is an honor and a testament to the hard work that was put in by all involvedrdquo

The Capt Ernest W Brown award established in 1986 is presented in memory of the late Capt Ernest ldquoEWrdquo Brown and recognizes an individual for excellence in Navy Occupational Health Preventive Medicine andor Health Promo-tion programs at the activity level Brown was a renowned researcher in the fi eld of biochemical warfare submarine medicine and occupa-tional medicine In 1941 he suc-cessfully implemented the ambitious industrial hygiene and forerunner of our Navy program today -- Re-printed from Seahawk Umitaka (submitted by Daughlet Ordinario of San Diego CA)

Seaoil karter Gabriel Cabrera along with fellow Filipino Flynn Jackes fi nally ended the half a decade title drought for the Philippines in the Mini-ROK class of the Asian Karting Open Championshipsrsquo opening leg at the Kartodromo de Coloane in Macau The 5-leg international race series is regarded as the most prestigious karting tilt in Asia

Racing abroad for the fi rst time 12 year old Cabrera topped the time trials at 103674 despite the absence of a coach and with only his chief mechanic Joesefi lo Bariquit in tow

The Philippines enjoyed a momentous 1-2-3 moment at the time trials with Cabrera grabbing pole position followed by Xedrei Daquigan in second and Flynn Jackes in third

Enduring an abdomen injury incurred from a crash during the fi nals warm-up Cabrera nevertheless decided to continue to race in the fi nals Surging to 2nd place from 5th in the fi nal grid the excruciating pain however led Cabrera to slip to 4th place by the end of the race

Although bowing to Jackes for the top spot Cabrerarsquos admirable show of resilience and perseverance endeared him to fans and foes alike who knew of his injury In true AKOC camaraderie Cabrera even found an unlikely ally in Taiwanese rival Lin Tsen Han who along with his crew immediately as-

sisted Cabrera as he fi nally collapsed in pain at the weigh-in area

ldquoThere is no such thing as a broken spirit only broken bones But not even that can stop a Filipino karterrsquos will to winrdquo says Cabrera as he was whisked off to the Kiang Wu Hospital to receive emergency medical treatment

He eventually was stable enough to return to the track a few hours later in time to receive his 3rd runner-up trophy at the awarding ceremonies Cabrera is the son of Los Angeles-based business-man Richard Cabrera and is slated to compete in the seriesrsquo second leg later this month in Manila

Cabrera Win Hearts In Asian Karting

Chief mechanic Joesefi le Bariquit and Gabriel Cabrera with kart-ing trophy at the Asian Karting Open Championship during opening leg in Macau China

by Steven Buller KIvaorgAccording to a recent article in Ma-

laya Business Insight a Filipino news-paper there were 9050 bank facilities operating in the Philippines at the end of 2011 At the same time there were 15600 pawnshops and 9500 licensed

money changers that were licensed to provide fi nancial services such as remittance transactions and bill pay-ments

The Philippines are fragmented by nature The country has 7000 islands 2000 of which are inhabited Since most banks are in urban areas reaching clients on the smaller remote islands can be extremely diffi cult and costly In a country where the savings rate is abysmal many people depend on credit for everyday expenses Non-bank facilities like pawnshops which are regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (or BSP the Philippines central bank) fi ll this gap

The BSP is currently considering allowing convenience stores or ldquosari-sari shopsrdquo to become banking agents as well They would be allowed to offer a variety of services including handling remittance transactions As nearly one out of 10 Filipinos lives and works abroad remittance transactions represent a huge portion of demand for fi nancial services In fact the Philip-

pines is one of the top fi ve recipients of remittances globally receiving about USD$19 billion annually

While this informal part of the banking sector certainly promotes fi nancial inclusion the BSP has made efforts to formalize the industry In 2010 it passed an amendment to certain banking regulations allowing for banks to establish microbanking offi ces (ldquoMBOsrdquo) MBOs are much smaller and cheaper to set up than bank branches They also offer a wider range of services that are important to Filipinos including microinsurance electronic money transfers social secu-rity payouts and savings products

Cayabyab lauds ABS-CBN Philharmonic

OrchestraABS CBN News | MANILA Phil-

ippines -- Acclaimed composer Ryan Cayabyab lauded the newly formed ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra which will make its fi rst major public debut at the ldquoIcons at the Arenardquo con-cert at the SM Mall of Asia Arena

Rehearsing this afternoon was a breeze The rare event on Saturday combines only the best Filipino art-ists together in the concert with the best musicians of the ABS-CBN Phil-harmonic What more can I ask for as musical director Ang ganda at ang sarap ng tugtuganrdquo said Cayabyab who is the musical director of

the all-star OPM concertCayabyab who composed OPM

classics such as Kay Ganda ng Ating Musika called the orchestra the newest most exciting addition to the top artists of the Kapamilya Network

He praised the orchestra members as arguably the best crossover musi-cians of the country who can perform all types and genres of music led by

a formidable music director Gerard Salonga

Early this year ABS-CBN and First Philippine Holdings Inc joined hands to promote an advocacy for Filipinos to connect and experience ldquorealrdquo and ldquogoodrdquo music Thus the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra was created to defy the notion that a full orches-tra is only limited to classical music

The 40-piece musical ensemble is also a fi rst in the history of ABS-CBN

ABS-CBN chairman Eugenio ldquoGabbyrdquo Lopez III stressed that the orchestra aims to provide music of the highest caliber to the general audience

ABS-CBN president Charo Santos-Concio on the other hand expressed her full support for the orchestra

and her optimism that this will be a signifi cant platform to celebrate the character and soul of Filipino music

According to ABS-CBN Philhar-monic Orchestrarsquos executive director Mickey Muntildeoz the orchestra shall also service the performance and music needs of ABS-CBN such as concerts as well as the musical scor-ing for movies

Muntildeoz also revealed that a youth orchestra is also being formed to train indigent but talented young Pinoys to play musical instruments

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada

(In the last chapter PMA cadet Julius Madrigal buys a bible as New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Carlo entered his room from his bath He donned on a t-shirt from his strewn clothes which he would have to pack the following day Over the shirt he pulled over a lengthwise striped sweater which made him appear taller than his five foot and a half frame He then went to the mirror and combed his still damp straight hair parting it on its left side He smiled checking his well set teeth He felt clean

Cleanliness is next to Godliness Monday after the New

Year he would be back to nearer Godliness His two weeks vacation would be over He would be back to where he would like to dedicate himself to be really next to Godli-ness

Again he would be back where everyday the brrriinnnggg brrr-riiiinnggg brrriinnnnggg wake up bell that permeates throughout the seminary walls would swirl into his eardrums and into his innermost soul jolting him to slide off the bed and be on his knees when sunrays slice through the windows of where he had confined himself to be nearer to Godliness Still in the throes of being awake his right hand flies to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Hail Mary full of gracehelliphe falls back into the abyss of nothingness but a second alarm ndash briiinnggg briiinggg brii-ingggg would bring back the swirl into his eardrums permeating into

his soul jolting him back to the re-ality that he is already on his knees Hail Mary full of gracehelliphas he said three already He would goad himself and fight against falling back into the abyss of nothingness for the umpteenth time Has he said three Hail Maries already He decides that since he had lost count he would complete three Hail Maries even if he already went over the count He would add an Our Father and a Glory Be

He gets up and staggers himself towards the exit of the dormitory towards the wash basins He passes other seminarians still in various pose of waking up on their knees or staggering out like himself The silkiness or fadedness of their paja-mas distinguishes who among them come from richer or poorer families

After freshening up he dons his white shirt and pants and black neck-tie He then marches out to join the other seminarians lining up in front of the chapel They appear like equal angels without wings Only tie clips shoes belts or brands of watches distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families

Equally mandated each one clasps his hands palms together on his chest They proceed to their assigned pews while cherubim like hymns fill the air

And the rite beginsDominus VobiscumhellipEt cum

spiritu tuohellipOra pro nobis kneelhellipsithellipstandhellipsit againhellipmostly kneel - all in sanctity to commune with the Spirit and the saints

By the offertory sanctity could be broken as Carlorsquos stomach as well as othersrsquo would growl pleading that the fangs of hunger be quelled But they have to wait though now find it hard to be in communion with the Spirit and the saints

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Finally it would be lsquoGo in peace the mass is endedrsquo

In seeking peace for their hunger they still have to be saintly tip-toe out of the chapel Their shoes then would scrape on the hallways in they dash to the dormitories in the rush to change into their school clothes

Now their over-all clothing demeanors ndash shirts pants sweaters socks shoes ndash starkly distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families Nonetheless richer or poorer they remained equal in the need to quell the fangs of hun-ger as they rush to the rectory hall

A sunny side two sausages fried rice from leftovers the night before crowd on each of the eight plates on each of the ten tables at the rec-tory The coffee would be soggy but would still be a welcome brew to enliven our breakfast which is equal for all The food they are about to receive from His bounty made them all equal except that there are also apples and juice and non soggy cof-fee at the head table where the Flem-ish rector Flemish assistant rector and Flemish principal are

Their stomachs would now really be howling gurgling clamoring for whatever they have to partake on but they all had to equally wait for the last seminarian to enter the dining hall half embarrassed half rever-ent The rector frowning for the delay would glare at the late comer before his right hand would fly to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Bless us Oh Lord in these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord Amen

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Amen

The last vestiges of reverence would now be broken as the ter-restrial need to fortify onersquos body takes precedence over the needs of the soul Chairs screech as the seminarians slide unto them Spoons and forks bang to scrape on eggs sausages and rice as they slide from the plates into munching mouths to mediate the growling gurgling stomachs

After a while Carlo would be satisfied with the egg two sausages fried rice and soggy coffee He would then have more time to often wonder why those Flemish priests also have apples juice and non soggy coffee while the seminar-ians do not Often he dismisses

the thought to just because they are already priests priests who are white because they have a different culture Nonetheless he often asks himself didnrsquot Jesus Christ share the same enliven bread and fish with his apostles

Often he would also feel guilty that having such kind of thoughts about inequality with the priests could be sacrilegious and wonders if he had to go to the con-fessional for that

Such thoughts however would vanish as he immerses himself with the day of classes ndash geometry Latin physics basketball volleyball lunch more studies ping-pong ro-sary and the long litanies and night prayers

The thoughts of inequality how-ever would invade his mind again the following day right after the br-riinnggg brrriinggg brriingggg and the regimen begins

And the regimen he would be go-ing back to made the short Christ-mas holiday break really shorter Nonetheless he had dedicated himself to the vocation and glad that no one or nothing during the vaca-tion made him feel that it was really short He had again passed the test of being out of the seminary walls with still the resolve that he would be going back for Godlinessrsquos sake

Vacations are not only respites from the sanctified isolationrsquos regimen They are tests to how one would not succumb to the calls of the human flesh in the outside world Should one not be able to resist temptations it would be better for one to fall away from the calling earlier than later after one is fully vested when the faithful would be subject to disillusionment

Nonetheless tonight Carlo would indulge in a simple call of the flesh He was ready for the dinner prepared by his mother one much better than the feasts of the priests

The MoringaMalunggay Tree with its edible leaves flowers and pods is one of most power packed nutritious trees in the world It goes by many different names drumkstick tree the Miracle tree the Never Die Tree the Miracle tree

I wrote an article on that subject here but it is also one of the most healing trees in the world All of the tree is ei-ther used for food medicine or cooking It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for hundreds of years to both prevent and treat almost 300 diseasesThe in-formation in this article is not based on double blind research but on the histori-cal and current usage of Moringa leaves flowers and pods in India and many other countries This is how the people have used it in the past and how they use it now Much of this information was observed and documented in the different health projects by physicians in their treatment of AIDS malnutrition and disease In India Ayurvedic physi-cians use it in their standard treatment protocols

How can Moringa leaves have an im-pact on so many problems Many health problems are due to poor nutrition malnutrition and imbalanced disease states which result in immune system breakdown and disease When you correct those imbalances and nutritional deficiencies with super packed nutritious food it is bound to improve health and disease states The ability for Moringa leaves flowers bark and pods to have such diverse healing effects is due to the vitamins minerals antioxidants and healing elements the tree contains

A review of Moringas power packed nutrition

Here is a nutritional breakdown of Fresh Moringa Leaves 7 times the Vitamin C of Oranges 4 times the Cal-cium of Milk 3 times the Potassium of Bananas 2 times the Protein of Yogurt 4 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and frac34 the iron of Spinach

Moringa leaves when dried become a even greater powerhouse of nutri-tion containing frac12 the Vitamin C of Oranges 17 times the Calcium of Milk 15 times the Potassium of Bananas 9 times the Protein of Yogurt 25 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and 20 times the Iron in Spinach All elements except the Vitamin C is increased when you dry the leaves under low temperatures Drying the leaves in direct sunlight decreases its nutritional values

How Moringa and Artemisia Annua Leaves benefit AIDS Patients

There are health projects going on

in Tanzania Musoma and other areas There is a real AIDS crisis in these areas In these AIDS cases the doctors have found that the combination of two herbs Moringa and Artemisia Annua improved the energy stamina and CD4 counts of the AIDS patients Some of their patients came in so weak they were not able to walk or care for them-selves They improved so dramatically that many were able to go back to work and many stayed to help the incoming patients These dramatic improvements were documented over and over again by the doctors in these health projects

How the herbs were used in the treat-ment protocols

The physicians combined dried Mor-inga Leaves with Artemisia Annua and then added one heaping teaspoonful of the powder to make a tea A liter of tea using 5 grams of the powder was given 3 times a day to the patient while the symptoms were acute Later when the patients improved it was reduced to a cup a day When you consider the super nutrition in Moringa leaves it is easy to understand how the Aids patients would improve The power packed nutrition would bolster their immune function strength stamina and ability to live a more normal active life

Moringa does NOT cure AIDS but helps the AIDS patient live longer and improves their quality of life and health Often the AIDS patient does not die from AIDS but from one of the opportunistinfections that prey on their compromised immune system

Moringa Leaves effects on blood pres-sure blood sugar breast milk produc-tion and anemia

In India the leaves are used to normalize blood pressure and to treat anxiety In 1994 a team of researchers identified a new nitride and mustard oil glycoside that demonstrated its ability to lower blood pressure

An infusion of the leaf is used to reduce sugar levels though not as ef-fectively as the standard hypoglycemia medicine

Moringa leaves mixed with honey then followed with coconut milk drunk 2 to 3 times a day is used for diarrhea dysentery and colitis

Moringa leaves have been observed and documented by doctors in the health projects to increase breast milk produc-tion and the health of nursing mothers This is due to the nutrition in the leaves especially the protein calcium and iron

Refreshing News | 7122012 -- Top experts separate the fact from myth once and for all--and reveal some surprises in the process Myth 1 Eating at Night Makes You Fat FACT If your overall calorie intake is appropriate for weight loss or maintenance it may benefit you to eat something after dinner says Joni Rampolla RD Director of Nu-trition and Wellness for Medifast

Late-night calories will ultimately get used the next day (and even while you sleep) To keep your en-ergy levels up it is better to spread your calories out during the day when your body needs fuel Aim to eat something every two or three hours This will stabilize blood sugar levels and help you feel full and energized all day

If you do need a late-night snack consider keeping it to 200 calories or less

Myth 2 Hunger is a sign you need food FACT The body commonly sends cues of hunger when it is dehydrated sleep deprived or sensing psycho-logical hunger If yoursquore not drinking enough water or getting enough sleep this alone can cause you to sense hunger even though yoursquore full Rampolla says

Myth 3 Losing weight is harder than keeping it off FACT More than 90 percent of dieters regain the weight they lost (or more) once they ldquofinishrdquo their plan Rampolla says If you resume eating the foods you ate before los-ing weight you will gain the weight back-and maybe a few extra pounds Herersquos why After weight loss your slimmer body requires fewer calo-ries to function Plus if your weight-loss plan does not include enough protein you might lose muscle mass in addition to excess fat Why thatrsquos bad Muscle burns more calories than fat does so losing muscle will lower your metabolism

Every day make a positive decision to stay on track with your new healthy lifestyle Maintaining healthy eating habits is a lifelong commitment and takes persistence Rampolla says

Myth 4 Exercise makes you tired FACT As the body gets in better shape most people feel exercising gives them more energy than before Regular exercise can also help fight fatigue improve your sleep and manage your stress says Gina Crome MS MPH RD and Top 10 FitOrbitcom trainer

Myth 5 Working out is a big time commitment FACT To main-tain a healthy weight you can work out as little as 20 to 40 minutes most days of the week If your goal is to lose weight itrsquos advised that you aim for about 45 to 60 minutes each day Crome says

The best part You donrsquot need to fit it all into one session Most of us can find five to 10 minutes to spare

at different points in the day Using these spare minutes throughout the day to be active adds up quickly and eventually becomes a regular part of your healthy lifestyle

Myth 6 Lower-body workouts will give you lean legs faster FACT The type of exercise you do does not affect the number of fat cells in a specific area Crome says Even if you do 100 abs exer- cises every day without proper nutri-tion quality sleep and a well-round- ed fitness routine you might never achieve the toned flat stomach you want You will help develop the muscles in that area but that doesnrsquot equate to fat loss

When the body loses

fat it does so

in a

sys-

temic fashion-all over the body at the same time Aside from surgical procedures such as liposuction there is no way to direct or influence the elimi-nation of fat from

specific areas Crome says Myth 7 You should

only eat carbs when yoursquore ac-tive FACT This myth is based on the belief that since carbs are the bodyrsquos preferred energy source you shouldnrsquot eat them when yoursquore inactive-like most people are in the evening However many individuals have atypical schedules or regularly exercise after work These people benefit from consuming appropri-ate amounts of carbohydrates in the evening to fuel their lifestyle says John Bosse RD and Member of the Research amp Development team for USANA Health Sciences

For someone who is sedentary in the evening a small high-protein snack such as 23 cup of full-fat cottage cheese or a protein shake can actually help you stay slim Research shows that eating high-quality protein at regular intervals promotes better body composition and since a lot of time passes between dinner

and breakfast this small snack is a smart strategic move

Myth 8 Heavy weights will make you bulky FACT Unless yoursquore taking in substances that alter your hormone profile (anabolic ste-roids) it is highly unlikely that you will gain large amounts of muscle Bosse says Doing a high number of reps (20+) using light weights and stopping each set well before the point of muscular failure certainly helps improve fitness and burn calo-ries but itrsquos not the best way to get a lean toned body What is Integrate periods of heavier training (six to 10 reps) with some sets taken to muscular failure The ability to build muscle is very different for men and women and should not be confused Bosse says

Myth 9 You should do a juice cleanse to detox FACT Our bod-ies are extremely smart and have built-in processes for detoxing every day says Kristen Carlucci RD reg-istered dietitian and nutrition expert for Pitney Bowes Inc

Yes people lose weight on juice cleanses but not because of any mir-acle ingredient or because your body is cleared of toxins that are slowing

down your metabolism Weight lost during a cleanse is most likely

a result of taking in far fewer calories than

usual While fill-ing up on fruits

and vegetables is a positive thing the problem with juice cleanses is that they are a tem-porary fix They donrsquot teach you the balanced nutrition habits you should be forming in order to lose weight and keep it off for good Carlucci says

Myth 10 Carbs are the en-emy FACT With the onset of the low-carb diet craze many people deny themselves this major food group This concept is misunder-stood because itrsquos not the carbohy-drates themselves that cause weight gain itrsquos the fact that for many of us itrsquos difficult to control the portion sizes Carlucci says

Instead of cutting out carbs alto-gether (which does not sound fun at all) focus on choosing the right carbs in the proper portions Stick with whole-grain pastas and breads (each slice should have 100 calories or less and should contain at least 3 grams of fiber) and try to fill no more than 14 of your plate with starch Limit pasta to 1 cup cooked and choose potatoes that are about the size of a computer mouse

The 10 Most Misunderstood Diet and Fitness Strategies Fatty Acid Found in Fish Prevents Age-

Related Vision Loss Study Suggests

ScienceDaily (May 30 2012) mdash An omega-3 fatty acid found in fish known as DHA prevented age-relat-ed vision loss in lab tests according to recent medical research from the University of Alberta

Yves Sauveacute a researcher in the Faculty of Medicine amp Dentistry and his team discovered that lab models fed DHA did not accumulate a toxic molecule at the back of the eyes The toxin normally builds up in the retina with age and causes vision loss

ldquoThis discovery could result in a very broad therapeutic userdquo says Sauveacute whose work was recently published in the peer-reviewed jour-nal Investigative Ophthalmology amp Visual Science

ldquoIn normal aging this toxin increases twofold as we age But in lab tests there was no increase in this toxin whatsoever This has never been demonstrated before -- that supplementing the diet with DHA could make this kind of differencerdquo

The team recently started another study looking at people who have age-related macular degeneration a condition that results in loss of central vision and is the main cause of blindness in people over the age of 50 The researchers will look for DNA markers in the blood of study participants The team wants to determine whether participants with certain genetic markers will respond better to increasing amounts of DHA in their diet and if so why

Sauveacute is a researcher in the departments of ophthalmology and physiology at the U of A

Various organizations funded the research the primary funder was the Canadian Institutes of Health Research

Courtesy of WebMD -- Who doesnrsquot enjoy a tall cool glass of juice The color is vibrant the taste sweet and itrsquos good for you too Not so fast say some dietitians Although the best kinds of juice deliver a bounty of vitamins the worst are hardly better than liquid candy WebMD helps you spot the difference

Drinking your veggies is a conve-nient way to add powerful plant-based nutrients to your diet The lycopene in tomato juice appears to lower the risk of prostate cancer Beet juice may reduce blood pres-sure Pulpy vegetable juice is also packed with fiber that can help con-trol hunger And all of these benefits come without a catch Vegetable juice has far less sugar and fewer calories than the typical fruit juice but it is high in sodium unless you choose the low salt version

Be on alert for the terms juice cocktail juice-flavored beverage or juice drink Most of these prod-ucts contain only small amounts of real juice The main ingredients are usually water and some type of sugar such as high-fructose corn syrup Nutritionally these drinks are similar to most soft drinks mdash rich in sugar and calories but low in nutri-ents Research suggests that sug-ary fruit drinks put kids at risk for obesity and related health problems The 2010 Dietary Guidelines recom-mends water over sugary drinks

If yoursquore only going to drink one glass of juice each day you want to make it a good one So letrsquos ex-plore which juices offer the biggest nutritional payoff per sip Pomegran-ate juice tops the list Itrsquos high in sugar and calories but delivers an abundant dose of antioxidants These substances appear to protect brain function and may ward off cancer In one study 8 ounces of pomegranate juice daily reduced the recurrence of prostate cancer

Cranberry juice is packed with vitamin C which is vital to a healthy immune system There is also evidence to support a folk remedy -- drinking unsweetened cranberry juice may help reduce your risk of urinary tract infections

Substances in blueberries may help keep the brain healthy In a small study researchers looked at the effect of blueberry juice on memory in adults in their seven-ties who had age-related memory decline Those who drank 2 12 cups of blueberry juice for 12 weeks had significant improvement on learning and memory tests compared to those who drank a non-juice beverage So choose blueberry juice to boost brain health

Researchers have only begun look-ing into the health benefits of acai juice which is made from a berry found in South America But early studies are promising Acai pulp appears to have a higher concentra-tion of antioxidants than cranber-ries blackberries strawberries or blueberries

Besides delivering a wealth of antioxidants some berry juices appear to have anti-inflammatory properties According to one study drinking cherry juice before and after your work-out can reduce exercise-induced muscle pain

Wersquove all heard that red wine in moderation can be good for the heart The same is true of red grape juice Red grape juice contains po-tent antioxiodants -- flavanoids and resveratrol The key is that wine and juice are made with the entire grape -- seeds skin and all When you eat fresh grapes you miss out on nutri-ents hiding in the seeds

Another viable folk remedy prune juice has long been recommended to relieve constipation It works because itrsquos extremely high in fiber and contains a natural laxative called sorbitol But the benefits of prune juice donrsquot stop there The juice is also packed with antioxidants iron and potassium

Itrsquos a staple at breakfast but does this popular juice carry its weight The good news is orange juice is loaded with vitamin C a star for its immune-boosting benefits In addition orange juice is often forti-fied with calcium and vitamin D nutrients that strengthen the bones

The brave non-violence of the

Subaanen peopleby Fr Shay Cullen PREDA

Some thousands of indigenous people all over the Philippines es-pecially in Mindanao especially the Subaanen people on the Zamboanga Peninsula have struggle for years to stop mining corporations from moving in to explore and mine the mountains and hills They are victims of corrupt government offi cials and even judges who are captivated by the vested inter-est of the mining industry

Some Indigenous people are sadly being forced to turn to armed resis-tance as the mining corporations move into their lands The Subaanen people have remained steadfastly non-violent and turned to the rule of law and trust in the constitution to protect them and their rightsBut is it enough

Hundreds of thousands of hectares of ancestral land has been threatened by the illegal and corrupt acts of some offi cials of the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Allegedly some of these offi cials are not on the side of the people in Mindanao but are for the rich and powerful mining interests and the banks that fund them

They allegedly enrich themselves by giving mining permits to companies

over ancestral lands which is forbidden by law It is at this level in the provinc-es where the anti-corruption campaign of President Aquino is weakest He has deposed a former president and a chief Justice but not yet the corrupt offi cials in Mindanao While the president is dedicated and honestly trying to clean up the stinking garbage of corrup-tion he cannot seemingly oust these entrenched offi cials the henchmen and women of powerful political families

They do not have allegiance to their department cabinet secretary or the president In fact they are ones who defy the president and are the hardest to get rid off The presidents politi-cal allies could be behind the corrupt practices that is opening the way for the illegal logging and issuance of mining permits They are pushing the president to override the provincial governments bans on open pit mining He must resist this pressure

Mining companies that get a permit to explore and mine also get a logging permit for the cutting the trees in the area alloted to them for mining This is totally destructive and is a way around the presidential ban on logging which goes on unabated Just drive through Mindanao and you will pass twenty or thirty huge trucks hauling cut logs I have seen them myself

For many years the Subaanen people and their supporters have stood peace-fully for their rights courageously and bravely to stop the local dynastic families and their cronies in the Inter-national mining industry from mining

their ancestral lands The Subaanen have been non-violent and trusted the democratic rule of law to save them

Their breakthrough cam in August 2011 when the Supreme Court of the Philippines granted a Writ of Ka-likasan (A protection of nature) to the people to protect the environment of the whole of the Zamboanga Peninsu-la A Writ of Kalikasan is a powerful legal remedy under Philippine law which provides for the protection ones right to a balanced and health-ful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature as provided for in Section 16 Article II of the Philippine Constitution It protects ones right for a healthy environment against damage of such magnitude that it threatens life health or property of inhabitants in two or more cities or provinces But the government of-fi cials are ignoring the Supreme Court order

Bishop Jiminez and three other bishops and an archbishop signed a letter to the London based sharehold-ers of the mining company RTZ-CRA trying to get the offi cials to stop the mining and logging wrote to the shareholders

In part he letter said ŠSince the company has the right to expatriate all the profi ts you the shareholders will probably earn some money However many of our people who own the lands where all the minerals are will become paupers Our rivers and seas

In travelling the countryside or while you are crossing the street driving your car taking the subway bedridden in the hospital or stuck in prison dont forget to say your Rosary every day Let the beads slip between your fi ngers they also slip between the fi n-gers of the Holy Father at the Vatican those of a grandmoth-er in Alaska a child on a hill in Rwanda a football player on a fi eld in Rio a Carthusian monk in his cell a Carmelite in her cloister or young evangelists on a mission

The Rosary is the certainly the prayer of the poor and the small the

sick and the suffering par excel-lence Yes always and everywhere not only in space but also in time The latitudes of the planet and longi-

tudes of history crisscross

The Hail Mary has moistened the lips of mil-lions of all ages races and nations How many chil-dren learned it as their fi rst prayer How many of the

dying whispered it as their ultimate testament The Hail Mary is a syn-thesis of two fi rst names Mary and Jesus

Daily Meditation Listening With

Our Wounds To enter into solidarity with a suf-

fering person does not mean that we have to talk with that person about our own suffering Speaking about our own pain is seldom helpful for someone who is in pain A wounded healer is someone who can listen to a person in pain without having to speak about his or her own wounds When we have lived through a pain-ful depression we can listen with great attentiveness and love to a depressed friend without mentioning our experience Mostly it is better not to direct a suffering persons attention to ourselves We have to trust that our own bandaged wounds will allow us to listen to others with our whole beings That is healing

July 10 2012 Daily Meditation Text excerpts taken from Bread for the Journey by Henri JM Nouwen copy1997 HarperSanFrancisco All Scripture from The Jerusalem Bible copy1966 1967 and 1968 Darton Longman amp Todd and Doubleday amp Co Inc

Q How do you describe a luke-warm soul

A Jesus said lukewarm souls are souls who if He can only vomit out He will They are the souls He wanted to vomit out when He was in calvary Like in Geth-semane He said if it is only possible that He will not have to drink the cup He will not drink from it because these are the souls who are already in the light but decided to transfer to darkness That is why our Lord said what these souls are doing is the most hurting thing for Him

Q What makes Jesus happy

A What makes Jesus happy is if you can love your enemy Because how can you face God and beg for His mercy if you are not also merciful The truth is it is very diffi cult to love our enemy But there is a secret And the secret is fi rst of all we have to conquer our selves The truth is our num-ber one enemy is ourselves

because pride is in us hatred is in us all the negative are in us But if you are able to conquer your self if we are

able to defeat ourselves it means we do not have anymore pride no more hatred no more envy no more nega-tive and if all the negative are gone

it will be very easy to love your enemy

The truth is it is very easy to say ldquo I forgive yourdquo but it only comes from the mouth Deep inside the negatives are still in your heart and if it is not removed it will remain with you forever That is why you need to remove the negative You can only remove these if you love your enemy Because if you love your enemy ev-erytime you pray he is always included in your prayer and everytime you pray for your enemy slowly the thorn is be-ing removed and if the thorn is removed completely that will make Jesus very happy

To love an enemy means it is not necessary to like Just pray for him Do not say anything against him

a good chance that we will be able to extend this forward momentum as we anticipate better fi rst-half earnings from our listed fi rms The latest sovereign credit rating up-grade also provides additional support for future growth so overall I think we are in a terrifi c position to keep on im-provingrdquo PSE president Hans Sicat said in a press statement

Last July 5 the PSEi again beat its previous record high to post a fresh all-time high at 536998 As of July 6 the PSEi was the top performing market in Asia with a gain of 227 percent year-to-date beating bourses in Singapore Indonesia Malaysia Thailand Vietnam Hong Kong India and China among others

In the fi rst six months cyclical stocks banking and property led the PSEirsquos rise in the fi rst quarter albeit all indices were on the green

The fi nancial index emerged as the best performer in the fi rst half after surging by 346 percent to the 130442 level The fi nancial index was likewise the best performer in terms of bot-tomline based on fi rst-quarter earnings culled by the PSE

The next best performer was the property index which jumped by 301 percent to fi nish at 192748 in the fi rst half

The holding fi rms index rose by 281 percent to the 448880 level

Other indices performed as follows in the fi rst six months the industrial index rallied by 108 percent to fi nish at 783957 the services index climbed by 88 percent to 175902 -the mining and oil index crept higher by 48 percent to 2462948 points

ldquoJust like our main index investor confi dence in Philippines Inc is at an all-time high Whatrsquos remarkable is that we have been able to achieve unprec-edented growth even in the midst of ongoing uncertainties in the Western hemisphere and a cooling Chinese economy This is a testament to the effectiveness of the reforms that the country has undertaken which further contributed to the stable macroeconomic environmentrdquo Sicat said

The PSEirsquos fi nish in the fi rst six months was higher by 95520 points from its previous close of 429121 in the same period last year

The combined market capitalization of issues listed on the PSE during the January to June period stood at P1005 trillion up by 128 percent from a year ago

Total turnover for the fi rst half reached P94773 billion or 432 percent higher than the P66181 billion registered in the same period the previous year Average daily turnover stood at P764 billion an increase of 455 percent year-on-year

Skyscanner saidRussia got 17 percent and

10 percent for UKldquoRussians can be more direct when

talking which may be misconstrued as being ruderdquo said Tatiana Da-nilova Russian market manager for Skyscanner ldquoHowever this is more a difference in culture than genuine rudenessrdquo

Danilova attributed this to the Russian language which ldquois not as polite as Englishhelliprdquo

ldquoSo when Russians translate directly from Russian to English it can sound rude to an English speaker even if they donrsquot mean it tordquo Danilova ldquoRussians tend to consider British people extremely polite due to their courteous way of speakingrdquo

Pacifi c Islander communityldquoAfter being a mentee for many years

I once asked my mentor how I could repay him for his kindness He told me to help 100 other people and my debt would be repaid in full Irsquod like to help at least a million people It is great to be recognized by your peers but I feel I should be recognizing the commu-nity for their steadfast and unwavering support for me and my colleagues at IW Grouprdquo said Bill Imada Chairman amp CEO IW Group Inc - Philanthropy Leadership honoree

In spite of the challenging fundraising environment APCF was successful at raising more than $150000 that was dis-tributed among its 29 Affi liate Agencies which provide health and human ser-vices to Asian and Pacifi c Islander (API) and other ethnic communities in need throughout Los Angeles County The mission of APCF is to build healthier and stronger API communities working with its affi liates corporate and commu-nity partners and individuals to generate resources for this often overlooked and under-served population

In addition special grant presentations were made by Verizon and Walmart totaling $100000 For the second year Verizon is funding APCFrsquos scholarship program for students pursuing higher education in the science technology engineering and math related fi elds In a time when students are faced with signifi cantly rising costs of obtaining a college degree it is important that there is support for these students in the Asian and Pacifi c Islander communities A total of $25000 in scholarship awards will be given out in 2012

ldquoVerizonrsquos partnership with the Asian Pacifi c Community Fund is creating op-portunities for young people to succeed and pursue their dreams here in Califor-nia and across the countryrdquo said Gene

Shooting StarPoem No 9

I wish I was a shooting star streaking through the night sky

Being here and there in brief fl ash of light

And really nowhere to be found

Me in your life being caught in your universe

Running around in circles ever nearing your space

Seeking the face by which I am doomed to certain death

Like a fl ash like a bang I am nowhere to be found

Me in your life caught in your universe streaking aimlessly

towards destruction envying the celestial dance between Moon

and Sun Sun and earth earth and heaven seeking freedom

from my desolated journey in you I found destruction through

my destruction I found my freedom

copy 2009 Michael R Tagudin

Lt Donald Ordinario Radiation Health Offi cer US Naval Hospital (USNH) Yokosuka has been award-ed the Capt Ernest W Brown award by the Navy and Marine occupation-al health preventive medicine andor health promotion for 2011

Ordinario created the only Navy dosimetry program that manages multiple afl oat and ashore command programs from one location and the fi rst overseas dosimetry hub for Department of Defense personnel in Japan The program monitored personnel for external radiation exposure while working in support of Operation Tomadachi

Ordinario said ldquoLooking at the big

picture we were a small part of the overall Operation Tomadachi mis-sion but since external dosimetry was required for all personnel enter-ing the radiological warm zone for humanitarian assistance the USNH Yokosuka radiation health team took on the monumental challenge of en-suring personnel were appropriately monitoredrdquo

Ordinario was aided by a team of radiation health staff which included deployed technicians deployed from stateside commands to support Op-eration Tomadachi ldquoThe augmented staff from different Navy Medicine Commands was vital part of being able to carry out our missionrdquo said Ordinario ldquoBeing recognized for the efforts the radiation health team did during Operation Tomadachi

is an honor and a testament to the hard work that was put in by all involvedrdquo

The Capt Ernest W Brown award established in 1986 is presented in memory of the late Capt Ernest ldquoEWrdquo Brown and recognizes an individual for excellence in Navy Occupational Health Preventive Medicine andor Health Promo-tion programs at the activity level Brown was a renowned researcher in the fi eld of biochemical warfare submarine medicine and occupa-tional medicine In 1941 he suc-cessfully implemented the ambitious industrial hygiene and forerunner of our Navy program today -- Re-printed from Seahawk Umitaka (submitted by Daughlet Ordinario of San Diego CA)

Seaoil karter Gabriel Cabrera along with fellow Filipino Flynn Jackes fi nally ended the half a decade title drought for the Philippines in the Mini-ROK class of the Asian Karting Open Championshipsrsquo opening leg at the Kartodromo de Coloane in Macau The 5-leg international race series is regarded as the most prestigious karting tilt in Asia

Racing abroad for the fi rst time 12 year old Cabrera topped the time trials at 103674 despite the absence of a coach and with only his chief mechanic Joesefi lo Bariquit in tow

The Philippines enjoyed a momentous 1-2-3 moment at the time trials with Cabrera grabbing pole position followed by Xedrei Daquigan in second and Flynn Jackes in third

Enduring an abdomen injury incurred from a crash during the fi nals warm-up Cabrera nevertheless decided to continue to race in the fi nals Surging to 2nd place from 5th in the fi nal grid the excruciating pain however led Cabrera to slip to 4th place by the end of the race

Although bowing to Jackes for the top spot Cabrerarsquos admirable show of resilience and perseverance endeared him to fans and foes alike who knew of his injury In true AKOC camaraderie Cabrera even found an unlikely ally in Taiwanese rival Lin Tsen Han who along with his crew immediately as-

sisted Cabrera as he fi nally collapsed in pain at the weigh-in area

ldquoThere is no such thing as a broken spirit only broken bones But not even that can stop a Filipino karterrsquos will to winrdquo says Cabrera as he was whisked off to the Kiang Wu Hospital to receive emergency medical treatment

He eventually was stable enough to return to the track a few hours later in time to receive his 3rd runner-up trophy at the awarding ceremonies Cabrera is the son of Los Angeles-based business-man Richard Cabrera and is slated to compete in the seriesrsquo second leg later this month in Manila

Cabrera Win Hearts In Asian Karting

Chief mechanic Joesefi le Bariquit and Gabriel Cabrera with kart-ing trophy at the Asian Karting Open Championship during opening leg in Macau China

by Steven Buller KIvaorgAccording to a recent article in Ma-

laya Business Insight a Filipino news-paper there were 9050 bank facilities operating in the Philippines at the end of 2011 At the same time there were 15600 pawnshops and 9500 licensed

money changers that were licensed to provide fi nancial services such as remittance transactions and bill pay-ments

The Philippines are fragmented by nature The country has 7000 islands 2000 of which are inhabited Since most banks are in urban areas reaching clients on the smaller remote islands can be extremely diffi cult and costly In a country where the savings rate is abysmal many people depend on credit for everyday expenses Non-bank facilities like pawnshops which are regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (or BSP the Philippines central bank) fi ll this gap

The BSP is currently considering allowing convenience stores or ldquosari-sari shopsrdquo to become banking agents as well They would be allowed to offer a variety of services including handling remittance transactions As nearly one out of 10 Filipinos lives and works abroad remittance transactions represent a huge portion of demand for fi nancial services In fact the Philip-

pines is one of the top fi ve recipients of remittances globally receiving about USD$19 billion annually

While this informal part of the banking sector certainly promotes fi nancial inclusion the BSP has made efforts to formalize the industry In 2010 it passed an amendment to certain banking regulations allowing for banks to establish microbanking offi ces (ldquoMBOsrdquo) MBOs are much smaller and cheaper to set up than bank branches They also offer a wider range of services that are important to Filipinos including microinsurance electronic money transfers social secu-rity payouts and savings products

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada

(In the last chapter PMA cadet Julius Madrigal buys a bible as New Yearrsquos gift for a friend)

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Carlo entered his room from his bath He donned on a t-shirt from his strewn clothes which he would have to pack the following day Over the shirt he pulled over a lengthwise striped sweater which made him appear taller than his five foot and a half frame He then went to the mirror and combed his still damp straight hair parting it on its left side He smiled checking his well set teeth He felt clean

Cleanliness is next to Godliness Monday after the New

Year he would be back to nearer Godliness His two weeks vacation would be over He would be back to where he would like to dedicate himself to be really next to Godli-ness

Again he would be back where everyday the brrriinnnggg brrr-riiiinnggg brrriinnnnggg wake up bell that permeates throughout the seminary walls would swirl into his eardrums and into his innermost soul jolting him to slide off the bed and be on his knees when sunrays slice through the windows of where he had confined himself to be nearer to Godliness Still in the throes of being awake his right hand flies to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Hail Mary full of gracehelliphe falls back into the abyss of nothingness but a second alarm ndash briiinnggg briiinggg brii-ingggg would bring back the swirl into his eardrums permeating into

his soul jolting him back to the re-ality that he is already on his knees Hail Mary full of gracehelliphas he said three already He would goad himself and fight against falling back into the abyss of nothingness for the umpteenth time Has he said three Hail Maries already He decides that since he had lost count he would complete three Hail Maries even if he already went over the count He would add an Our Father and a Glory Be

He gets up and staggers himself towards the exit of the dormitory towards the wash basins He passes other seminarians still in various pose of waking up on their knees or staggering out like himself The silkiness or fadedness of their paja-mas distinguishes who among them come from richer or poorer families

After freshening up he dons his white shirt and pants and black neck-tie He then marches out to join the other seminarians lining up in front of the chapel They appear like equal angels without wings Only tie clips shoes belts or brands of watches distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families

Equally mandated each one clasps his hands palms together on his chest They proceed to their assigned pews while cherubim like hymns fill the air

And the rite beginsDominus VobiscumhellipEt cum

spiritu tuohellipOra pro nobis kneelhellipsithellipstandhellipsit againhellipmostly kneel - all in sanctity to commune with the Spirit and the saints

By the offertory sanctity could be broken as Carlorsquos stomach as well as othersrsquo would growl pleading that the fangs of hunger be quelled But they have to wait though now find it hard to be in communion with the Spirit and the saints

Chapter 7 - Carlo Paterno

Finally it would be lsquoGo in peace the mass is endedrsquo

In seeking peace for their hunger they still have to be saintly tip-toe out of the chapel Their shoes then would scrape on the hallways in they dash to the dormitories in the rush to change into their school clothes

Now their over-all clothing demeanors ndash shirts pants sweaters socks shoes ndash starkly distinguish who among them come from richer or poorer families Nonetheless richer or poorer they remained equal in the need to quell the fangs of hun-ger as they rush to the rectory hall

A sunny side two sausages fried rice from leftovers the night before crowd on each of the eight plates on each of the ten tables at the rec-tory The coffee would be soggy but would still be a welcome brew to enliven our breakfast which is equal for all The food they are about to receive from His bounty made them all equal except that there are also apples and juice and non soggy cof-fee at the head table where the Flem-ish rector Flemish assistant rector and Flemish principal are

Their stomachs would now really be howling gurgling clamoring for whatever they have to partake on but they all had to equally wait for the last seminarian to enter the dining hall half embarrassed half rever-ent The rector frowning for the delay would glare at the late comer before his right hand would fly to his forehead chest left shoulder right shoulder Amen Bless us Oh Lord in these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord Amen

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Amen

The last vestiges of reverence would now be broken as the ter-restrial need to fortify onersquos body takes precedence over the needs of the soul Chairs screech as the seminarians slide unto them Spoons and forks bang to scrape on eggs sausages and rice as they slide from the plates into munching mouths to mediate the growling gurgling stomachs

After a while Carlo would be satisfied with the egg two sausages fried rice and soggy coffee He would then have more time to often wonder why those Flemish priests also have apples juice and non soggy coffee while the seminar-ians do not Often he dismisses

the thought to just because they are already priests priests who are white because they have a different culture Nonetheless he often asks himself didnrsquot Jesus Christ share the same enliven bread and fish with his apostles

Often he would also feel guilty that having such kind of thoughts about inequality with the priests could be sacrilegious and wonders if he had to go to the con-fessional for that

Such thoughts however would vanish as he immerses himself with the day of classes ndash geometry Latin physics basketball volleyball lunch more studies ping-pong ro-sary and the long litanies and night prayers

The thoughts of inequality how-ever would invade his mind again the following day right after the br-riinnggg brrriinggg brriingggg and the regimen begins

And the regimen he would be go-ing back to made the short Christ-mas holiday break really shorter Nonetheless he had dedicated himself to the vocation and glad that no one or nothing during the vaca-tion made him feel that it was really short He had again passed the test of being out of the seminary walls with still the resolve that he would be going back for Godlinessrsquos sake

Vacations are not only respites from the sanctified isolationrsquos regimen They are tests to how one would not succumb to the calls of the human flesh in the outside world Should one not be able to resist temptations it would be better for one to fall away from the calling earlier than later after one is fully vested when the faithful would be subject to disillusionment

Nonetheless tonight Carlo would indulge in a simple call of the flesh He was ready for the dinner prepared by his mother one much better than the feasts of the priests

The MoringaMalunggay Tree with its edible leaves flowers and pods is one of most power packed nutritious trees in the world It goes by many different names drumkstick tree the Miracle tree the Never Die Tree the Miracle tree

I wrote an article on that subject here but it is also one of the most healing trees in the world All of the tree is ei-ther used for food medicine or cooking It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for hundreds of years to both prevent and treat almost 300 diseasesThe in-formation in this article is not based on double blind research but on the histori-cal and current usage of Moringa leaves flowers and pods in India and many other countries This is how the people have used it in the past and how they use it now Much of this information was observed and documented in the different health projects by physicians in their treatment of AIDS malnutrition and disease In India Ayurvedic physi-cians use it in their standard treatment protocols

How can Moringa leaves have an im-pact on so many problems Many health problems are due to poor nutrition malnutrition and imbalanced disease states which result in immune system breakdown and disease When you correct those imbalances and nutritional deficiencies with super packed nutritious food it is bound to improve health and disease states The ability for Moringa leaves flowers bark and pods to have such diverse healing effects is due to the vitamins minerals antioxidants and healing elements the tree contains

A review of Moringas power packed nutrition

Here is a nutritional breakdown of Fresh Moringa Leaves 7 times the Vitamin C of Oranges 4 times the Cal-cium of Milk 3 times the Potassium of Bananas 2 times the Protein of Yogurt 4 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and frac34 the iron of Spinach

Moringa leaves when dried become a even greater powerhouse of nutri-tion containing frac12 the Vitamin C of Oranges 17 times the Calcium of Milk 15 times the Potassium of Bananas 9 times the Protein of Yogurt 25 times the Vitamin A of Carrots and 20 times the Iron in Spinach All elements except the Vitamin C is increased when you dry the leaves under low temperatures Drying the leaves in direct sunlight decreases its nutritional values

How Moringa and Artemisia Annua Leaves benefit AIDS Patients

There are health projects going on

in Tanzania Musoma and other areas There is a real AIDS crisis in these areas In these AIDS cases the doctors have found that the combination of two herbs Moringa and Artemisia Annua improved the energy stamina and CD4 counts of the AIDS patients Some of their patients came in so weak they were not able to walk or care for them-selves They improved so dramatically that many were able to go back to work and many stayed to help the incoming patients These dramatic improvements were documented over and over again by the doctors in these health projects

How the herbs were used in the treat-ment protocols

The physicians combined dried Mor-inga Leaves with Artemisia Annua and then added one heaping teaspoonful of the powder to make a tea A liter of tea using 5 grams of the powder was given 3 times a day to the patient while the symptoms were acute Later when the patients improved it was reduced to a cup a day When you consider the super nutrition in Moringa leaves it is easy to understand how the Aids patients would improve The power packed nutrition would bolster their immune function strength stamina and ability to live a more normal active life

Moringa does NOT cure AIDS but helps the AIDS patient live longer and improves their quality of life and health Often the AIDS patient does not die from AIDS but from one of the opportunistinfections that prey on their compromised immune system

Moringa Leaves effects on blood pres-sure blood sugar breast milk produc-tion and anemia

In India the leaves are used to normalize blood pressure and to treat anxiety In 1994 a team of researchers identified a new nitride and mustard oil glycoside that demonstrated its ability to lower blood pressure

An infusion of the leaf is used to reduce sugar levels though not as ef-fectively as the standard hypoglycemia medicine

Moringa leaves mixed with honey then followed with coconut milk drunk 2 to 3 times a day is used for diarrhea dysentery and colitis

Moringa leaves have been observed and documented by doctors in the health projects to increase breast milk produc-tion and the health of nursing mothers This is due to the nutrition in the leaves especially the protein calcium and iron

Refreshing News | 7122012 -- Top experts separate the fact from myth once and for all--and reveal some surprises in the process Myth 1 Eating at Night Makes You Fat FACT If your overall calorie intake is appropriate for weight loss or maintenance it may benefit you to eat something after dinner says Joni Rampolla RD Director of Nu-trition and Wellness for Medifast

Late-night calories will ultimately get used the next day (and even while you sleep) To keep your en-ergy levels up it is better to spread your calories out during the day when your body needs fuel Aim to eat something every two or three hours This will stabilize blood sugar levels and help you feel full and energized all day

If you do need a late-night snack consider keeping it to 200 calories or less

Myth 2 Hunger is a sign you need food FACT The body commonly sends cues of hunger when it is dehydrated sleep deprived or sensing psycho-logical hunger If yoursquore not drinking enough water or getting enough sleep this alone can cause you to sense hunger even though yoursquore full Rampolla says

Myth 3 Losing weight is harder than keeping it off FACT More than 90 percent of dieters regain the weight they lost (or more) once they ldquofinishrdquo their plan Rampolla says If you resume eating the foods you ate before los-ing weight you will gain the weight back-and maybe a few extra pounds Herersquos why After weight loss your slimmer body requires fewer calo-ries to function Plus if your weight-loss plan does not include enough protein you might lose muscle mass in addition to excess fat Why thatrsquos bad Muscle burns more calories than fat does so losing muscle will lower your metabolism

Every day make a positive decision to stay on track with your new healthy lifestyle Maintaining healthy eating habits is a lifelong commitment and takes persistence Rampolla says

Myth 4 Exercise makes you tired FACT As the body gets in better shape most people feel exercising gives them more energy than before Regular exercise can also help fight fatigue improve your sleep and manage your stress says Gina Crome MS MPH RD and Top 10 FitOrbitcom trainer

Myth 5 Working out is a big time commitment FACT To main-tain a healthy weight you can work out as little as 20 to 40 minutes most days of the week If your goal is to lose weight itrsquos advised that you aim for about 45 to 60 minutes each day Crome says

The best part You donrsquot need to fit it all into one session Most of us can find five to 10 minutes to spare

at different points in the day Using these spare minutes throughout the day to be active adds up quickly and eventually becomes a regular part of your healthy lifestyle

Myth 6 Lower-body workouts will give you lean legs faster FACT The type of exercise you do does not affect the number of fat cells in a specific area Crome says Even if you do 100 abs exer- cises every day without proper nutri-tion quality sleep and a well-round- ed fitness routine you might never achieve the toned flat stomach you want You will help develop the muscles in that area but that doesnrsquot equate to fat loss

When the body loses

fat it does so

in a

sys-

temic fashion-all over the body at the same time Aside from surgical procedures such as liposuction there is no way to direct or influence the elimi-nation of fat from

specific areas Crome says Myth 7 You should

only eat carbs when yoursquore ac-tive FACT This myth is based on the belief that since carbs are the bodyrsquos preferred energy source you shouldnrsquot eat them when yoursquore inactive-like most people are in the evening However many individuals have atypical schedules or regularly exercise after work These people benefit from consuming appropri-ate amounts of carbohydrates in the evening to fuel their lifestyle says John Bosse RD and Member of the Research amp Development team for USANA Health Sciences

For someone who is sedentary in the evening a small high-protein snack such as 23 cup of full-fat cottage cheese or a protein shake can actually help you stay slim Research shows that eating high-quality protein at regular intervals promotes better body composition and since a lot of time passes between dinner

and breakfast this small snack is a smart strategic move

Myth 8 Heavy weights will make you bulky FACT Unless yoursquore taking in substances that alter your hormone profile (anabolic ste-roids) it is highly unlikely that you will gain large amounts of muscle Bosse says Doing a high number of reps (20+) using light weights and stopping each set well before the point of muscular failure certainly helps improve fitness and burn calo-ries but itrsquos not the best way to get a lean toned body What is Integrate periods of heavier training (six to 10 reps) with some sets taken to muscular failure The ability to build muscle is very different for men and women and should not be confused Bosse says

Myth 9 You should do a juice cleanse to detox FACT Our bod-ies are extremely smart and have built-in processes for detoxing every day says Kristen Carlucci RD reg-istered dietitian and nutrition expert for Pitney Bowes Inc

Yes people lose weight on juice cleanses but not because of any mir-acle ingredient or because your body is cleared of toxins that are slowing

down your metabolism Weight lost during a cleanse is most likely

a result of taking in far fewer calories than

usual While fill-ing up on fruits

and vegetables is a positive thing the problem with juice cleanses is that they are a tem-porary fix They donrsquot teach you the balanced nutrition habits you should be forming in order to lose weight and keep it off for good Carlucci says

Myth 10 Carbs are the en-emy FACT With the onset of the low-carb diet craze many people deny themselves this major food group This concept is misunder-stood because itrsquos not the carbohy-drates themselves that cause weight gain itrsquos the fact that for many of us itrsquos difficult to control the portion sizes Carlucci says

Instead of cutting out carbs alto-gether (which does not sound fun at all) focus on choosing the right carbs in the proper portions Stick with whole-grain pastas and breads (each slice should have 100 calories or less and should contain at least 3 grams of fiber) and try to fill no more than 14 of your plate with starch Limit pasta to 1 cup cooked and choose potatoes that are about the size of a computer mouse

The 10 Most Misunderstood Diet and Fitness Strategies Fatty Acid Found in Fish Prevents Age-

Related Vision Loss Study Suggests

ScienceDaily (May 30 2012) mdash An omega-3 fatty acid found in fish known as DHA prevented age-relat-ed vision loss in lab tests according to recent medical research from the University of Alberta

Yves Sauveacute a researcher in the Faculty of Medicine amp Dentistry and his team discovered that lab models fed DHA did not accumulate a toxic molecule at the back of the eyes The toxin normally builds up in the retina with age and causes vision loss

ldquoThis discovery could result in a very broad therapeutic userdquo says Sauveacute whose work was recently published in the peer-reviewed jour-nal Investigative Ophthalmology amp Visual Science

ldquoIn normal aging this toxin increases twofold as we age But in lab tests there was no increase in this toxin whatsoever This has never been demonstrated before -- that supplementing the diet with DHA could make this kind of differencerdquo

The team recently started another study looking at people who have age-related macular degeneration a condition that results in loss of central vision and is the main cause of blindness in people over the age of 50 The researchers will look for DNA markers in the blood of study participants The team wants to determine whether participants with certain genetic markers will respond better to increasing amounts of DHA in their diet and if so why

Sauveacute is a researcher in the departments of ophthalmology and physiology at the U of A

Various organizations funded the research the primary funder was the Canadian Institutes of Health Research

Courtesy of WebMD -- Who doesnrsquot enjoy a tall cool glass of juice The color is vibrant the taste sweet and itrsquos good for you too Not so fast say some dietitians Although the best kinds of juice deliver a bounty of vitamins the worst are hardly better than liquid candy WebMD helps you spot the difference

Drinking your veggies is a conve-nient way to add powerful plant-based nutrients to your diet The lycopene in tomato juice appears to lower the risk of prostate cancer Beet juice may reduce blood pres-sure Pulpy vegetable juice is also packed with fiber that can help con-trol hunger And all of these benefits come without a catch Vegetable juice has far less sugar and fewer calories than the typical fruit juice but it is high in sodium unless you choose the low salt version

Be on alert for the terms juice cocktail juice-flavored beverage or juice drink Most of these prod-ucts contain only small amounts of real juice The main ingredients are usually water and some type of sugar such as high-fructose corn syrup Nutritionally these drinks are similar to most soft drinks mdash rich in sugar and calories but low in nutri-ents Research suggests that sug-ary fruit drinks put kids at risk for obesity and related health problems The 2010 Dietary Guidelines recom-mends water over sugary drinks

If yoursquore only going to drink one glass of juice each day you want to make it a good one So letrsquos ex-plore which juices offer the biggest nutritional payoff per sip Pomegran-ate juice tops the list Itrsquos high in sugar and calories but delivers an abundant dose of antioxidants These substances appear to protect brain function and may ward off cancer In one study 8 ounces of pomegranate juice daily reduced the recurrence of prostate cancer

Cranberry juice is packed with vitamin C which is vital to a healthy immune system There is also evidence to support a folk remedy -- drinking unsweetened cranberry juice may help reduce your risk of urinary tract infections

Substances in blueberries may help keep the brain healthy In a small study researchers looked at the effect of blueberry juice on memory in adults in their seven-ties who had age-related memory decline Those who drank 2 12 cups of blueberry juice for 12 weeks had significant improvement on learning and memory tests compared to those who drank a non-juice beverage So choose blueberry juice to boost brain health

Researchers have only begun look-ing into the health benefits of acai juice which is made from a berry found in South America But early studies are promising Acai pulp appears to have a higher concentra-tion of antioxidants than cranber-ries blackberries strawberries or blueberries

Besides delivering a wealth of antioxidants some berry juices appear to have anti-inflammatory properties According to one study drinking cherry juice before and after your work-out can reduce exercise-induced muscle pain

Wersquove all heard that red wine in moderation can be good for the heart The same is true of red grape juice Red grape juice contains po-tent antioxiodants -- flavanoids and resveratrol The key is that wine and juice are made with the entire grape -- seeds skin and all When you eat fresh grapes you miss out on nutri-ents hiding in the seeds

Another viable folk remedy prune juice has long been recommended to relieve constipation It works because itrsquos extremely high in fiber and contains a natural laxative called sorbitol But the benefits of prune juice donrsquot stop there The juice is also packed with antioxidants iron and potassium

Itrsquos a staple at breakfast but does this popular juice carry its weight The good news is orange juice is loaded with vitamin C a star for its immune-boosting benefits In addition orange juice is often forti-fied with calcium and vitamin D nutrients that strengthen the bones

The brave non-violence of the

Subaanen peopleby Fr Shay Cullen PREDA

Some thousands of indigenous people all over the Philippines es-pecially in Mindanao especially the Subaanen people on the Zamboanga Peninsula have struggle for years to stop mining corporations from moving in to explore and mine the mountains and hills They are victims of corrupt government offi cials and even judges who are captivated by the vested inter-est of the mining industry

Some Indigenous people are sadly being forced to turn to armed resis-tance as the mining corporations move into their lands The Subaanen people have remained steadfastly non-violent and turned to the rule of law and trust in the constitution to protect them and their rightsBut is it enough

Hundreds of thousands of hectares of ancestral land has been threatened by the illegal and corrupt acts of some offi cials of the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Allegedly some of these offi cials are not on the side of the people in Mindanao but are for the rich and powerful mining interests and the banks that fund them

They allegedly enrich themselves by giving mining permits to companies

over ancestral lands which is forbidden by law It is at this level in the provinc-es where the anti-corruption campaign of President Aquino is weakest He has deposed a former president and a chief Justice but not yet the corrupt offi cials in Mindanao While the president is dedicated and honestly trying to clean up the stinking garbage of corrup-tion he cannot seemingly oust these entrenched offi cials the henchmen and women of powerful political families

They do not have allegiance to their department cabinet secretary or the president In fact they are ones who defy the president and are the hardest to get rid off The presidents politi-cal allies could be behind the corrupt practices that is opening the way for the illegal logging and issuance of mining permits They are pushing the president to override the provincial governments bans on open pit mining He must resist this pressure

Mining companies that get a permit to explore and mine also get a logging permit for the cutting the trees in the area alloted to them for mining This is totally destructive and is a way around the presidential ban on logging which goes on unabated Just drive through Mindanao and you will pass twenty or thirty huge trucks hauling cut logs I have seen them myself

For many years the Subaanen people and their supporters have stood peace-fully for their rights courageously and bravely to stop the local dynastic families and their cronies in the Inter-national mining industry from mining

their ancestral lands The Subaanen have been non-violent and trusted the democratic rule of law to save them

Their breakthrough cam in August 2011 when the Supreme Court of the Philippines granted a Writ of Ka-likasan (A protection of nature) to the people to protect the environment of the whole of the Zamboanga Peninsu-la A Writ of Kalikasan is a powerful legal remedy under Philippine law which provides for the protection ones right to a balanced and health-ful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature as provided for in Section 16 Article II of the Philippine Constitution It protects ones right for a healthy environment against damage of such magnitude that it threatens life health or property of inhabitants in two or more cities or provinces But the government of-fi cials are ignoring the Supreme Court order

Bishop Jiminez and three other bishops and an archbishop signed a letter to the London based sharehold-ers of the mining company RTZ-CRA trying to get the offi cials to stop the mining and logging wrote to the shareholders

In part he letter said ŠSince the company has the right to expatriate all the profi ts you the shareholders will probably earn some money However many of our people who own the lands where all the minerals are will become paupers Our rivers and seas

In travelling the countryside or while you are crossing the street driving your car taking the subway bedridden in the hospital or stuck in prison dont forget to say your Rosary every day Let the beads slip between your fi ngers they also slip between the fi n-gers of the Holy Father at the Vatican those of a grandmoth-er in Alaska a child on a hill in Rwanda a football player on a fi eld in Rio a Carthusian monk in his cell a Carmelite in her cloister or young evangelists on a mission

The Rosary is the certainly the prayer of the poor and the small the

sick and the suffering par excel-lence Yes always and everywhere not only in space but also in time The latitudes of the planet and longi-

tudes of history crisscross

The Hail Mary has moistened the lips of mil-lions of all ages races and nations How many chil-dren learned it as their fi rst prayer How many of the

dying whispered it as their ultimate testament The Hail Mary is a syn-thesis of two fi rst names Mary and Jesus

fering person does not mean that we have to talk with that person about our own suffering Speaking about our own pain is seldom helpful for someone who is in pain A wounded healer is someone who can listen to a person in pain without having to speak about his or her own wounds When we have lived through a pain-ful depression we can listen with great attentiveness and love to a depressed friend without mentioning our experience Mostly it is better not to direct a suffering persons attention to ourselves We have to trust that our own bandaged wounds will allow us to listen to others with our whole beings That is healing

Q How do you describe a luke-warm soul

A Jesus said lukewarm souls are souls who if He can only vomit out He will They are the souls He wanted to vomit out when He was in calvary Like in Geth-semane He said if it is only possible that He will not have to drink the cup He will not drink from it because these are the souls who are already in the light but decided to transfer to darkness That is why our Lord said what these souls are doing is the most hurting thing for Him

Q What makes Jesus happy

A What makes Jesus happy is if you can love your enemy Because how can you face God and beg for His mercy if you are not also merciful The truth is it is very diffi cult to love our enemy But there is a secret And the secret is fi rst of all we have to conquer our selves The truth is our num-ber one enemy is ourselves

because pride is in us hatred is in us all the negative are in us But if you are able to conquer your self if we are

able to defeat ourselves it means we do not have anymore pride no more hatred no more envy no more nega-tive and if all the negative are gone

it will be very easy to love your enemy

The truth is it is very easy to say ldquo I forgive yourdquo but it only comes from the mouth Deep inside the negatives are still in your heart and if it is not removed it will remain with you forever That is why you need to remove the negative You can only remove these if you love your enemy Because if you love your enemy ev-erytime you pray he is always included in your prayer and everytime you pray for your enemy slowly the thorn is be-ing removed and if the thorn is removed completely that will make Jesus very happy

To love an enemy means it is not necessary to like Just pray for him Do not say anything against him

a good chance that we will be able to extend this forward momentum as we anticipate better fi rst-half earnings from our listed fi rms The latest sovereign credit rating up-grade also provides additional support for future growth so overall I think we are in a terrifi c position to keep on im-provingrdquo PSE president Hans Sicat said in a press statement

Last July 5 the PSEi again beat its previous record high to post a fresh all-time high at 536998 As of July 6 the PSEi was the top performing market in Asia with a gain of 227 percent year-to-date beating bourses in Singapore Indonesia Malaysia Thailand Vietnam Hong Kong India and China among others

In the fi rst six months cyclical stocks banking and property led the PSEirsquos rise in the fi rst quarter albeit all indices were on the green

The fi nancial index emerged as the best performer in the fi rst half after surging by 346 percent to the 130442 level The fi nancial index was likewise the best performer in terms of bot-tomline based on fi rst-quarter earnings culled by the PSE

The next best performer was the property index which jumped by 301 percent to fi nish at 192748 in the fi rst half

The holding fi rms index rose by 281 percent to the 448880 level

Other indices performed as follows in the fi rst six months the industrial index rallied by 108 percent to fi nish at 783957 the services index climbed by 88 percent to 175902 -the mining and oil index crept higher by 48 percent to 2462948 points

ldquoJust like our main index investor confi dence in Philippines Inc is at an all-time high Whatrsquos remarkable is that we have been able to achieve unprec-edented growth even in the midst of ongoing uncertainties in the Western hemisphere and a cooling Chinese economy This is a testament to the effectiveness of the reforms that the country has undertaken which further contributed to the stable macroeconomic environmentrdquo Sicat said

The PSEirsquos fi nish in the fi rst six months was higher by 95520 points from its previous close of 429121 in the same period last year

The combined market capitalization of issues listed on the PSE during the January to June period stood at P1005 trillion up by 128 percent from a year ago

Total turnover for the fi rst half reached P94773 billion or 432 percent higher than the P66181 billion registered in the same period the previous year Average daily turnover stood at P764 billion an increase of 455 percent year-on-year

Skyscanner saidRussia got 17 percent and

10 percent for UKldquoRussians can be more direct when

talking which may be misconstrued as being ruderdquo said Tatiana Da-nilova Russian market manager for Skyscanner ldquoHowever this is more a difference in culture than genuine rudenessrdquo

Danilova attributed this to the Russian language which ldquois not as polite as Englishhelliprdquo

ldquoSo when Russians translate directly from Russian to English it can sound rude to an English speaker even if they donrsquot mean it tordquo Danilova ldquoRussians tend to consider British people extremely polite due to their courteous way of speakingrdquo

Pacifi c Islander communityldquoAfter being a mentee for many years

I once asked my mentor how I could repay him for his kindness He told me to help 100 other people and my debt would be repaid in full Irsquod like to help at least a million people It is great to be recognized by your peers but I feel I should be recognizing the commu-nity for their steadfast and unwavering support for me and my colleagues at IW Grouprdquo said Bill Imada Chairman amp CEO IW Group Inc - Philanthropy Leadership honoree

In spite of the challenging fundraising environment APCF was successful at raising more than $150000 that was dis-tributed among its 29 Affi liate Agencies which provide health and human ser-vices to Asian and Pacifi c Islander (API) and other ethnic communities in need throughout Los Angeles County The mission of APCF is to build healthier and stronger API communities working with its affi liates corporate and commu-nity partners and individuals to generate resources for this often overlooked and under-served population

In addition special grant presentations were made by Verizon and Walmart totaling $100000 For the second year Verizon is funding APCFrsquos scholarship program for students pursuing higher education in the science technology engineering and math related fi elds In a time when students are faced with signifi cantly rising costs of obtaining a college degree it is important that there is support for these students in the Asian and Pacifi c Islander communities A total of $25000 in scholarship awards will be given out in 2012

ldquoVerizonrsquos partnership with the Asian Pacifi c Community Fund is creating op-portunities for young people to succeed and pursue their dreams here in Califor-nia and across the countryrdquo said Gene

Shooting StarPoem No 9

I wish I was a shooting star streaking through the night sky

Being here and there in brief fl ash of light

And really nowhere to be found

Me in your life being caught in your universe

Running around in circles ever nearing your space

Seeking the face by which I am doomed to certain death

Like a fl ash like a bang I am nowhere to be found

Me in your life caught in your universe streaking aimlessly

towards destruction envying the celestial dance between Moon

and Sun Sun and earth earth and heaven seeking freedom

from my desolated journey in you I found destruction through

my destruction I found my freedom

copy 2009 Michael R Tagudin

Lt Donald Ordinario Radiation Health Offi cer US Naval Hospital (USNH) Yokosuka has been award-ed the Capt Ernest W Brown award by the Navy and Marine occupation-al health preventive medicine andor health promotion for 2011

Ordinario created the only Navy dosimetry program that manages multiple afl oat and ashore command programs from one location and the fi rst overseas dosimetry hub for Department of Defense personnel in Japan The program monitored personnel for external radiation exposure while working in support of Operation Tomadachi

Ordinario said ldquoLooking at the big

picture we were a small part of the overall Operation Tomadachi mis-sion but since external dosimetry was required for all personnel enter-ing the radiological warm zone for humanitarian assistance the USNH Yokosuka radiation health team took on the monumental challenge of en-suring personnel were appropriately monitoredrdquo

Ordinario was aided by a team of radiation health staff which included deployed technicians deployed from stateside commands to support Op-eration Tomadachi ldquoThe augmented staff from different Navy Medicine Commands was vital part of being able to carry out our missionrdquo said Ordinario ldquoBeing recognized for the efforts the radiation health team did during Operation Tomadachi

is an honor and a testament to the hard work that was put in by all involvedrdquo

The Capt Ernest W Brown award established in 1986 is presented in memory of the late Capt Ernest ldquoEWrdquo Brown and recognizes an individual for excellence in Navy Occupational Health Preventive Medicine andor Health Promo-tion programs at the activity level Brown was a renowned researcher in the fi eld of biochemical warfare submarine medicine and occupa-tional medicine In 1941 he suc-cessfully implemented the ambitious industrial hygiene and forerunner of our Navy program today -- Re-printed from Seahawk Umitaka (submitted by Daughlet Ordinario of San Diego CA)

Seaoil karter Gabriel Cabrera along with fellow Filipino Flynn Jackes fi nally ended the half a decade title drought for the Philippines in the Mini-ROK class of the Asian Karting Open Championshipsrsquo opening leg at the Kartodromo de Coloane in Macau The 5-leg international race series is regarded as the most prestigious karting tilt in Asia

Racing abroad for the fi rst time 12 year old Cabrera topped the time trials at 103674 despite the absence of a coach and with only his chief mechanic Joesefi lo Bariquit in tow

The Philippines enjoyed a momentous 1-2-3 moment at the time trials with Cabrera grabbing pole position followed by Xedrei Daquigan in second and Flynn Jackes in third

Enduring an abdomen injury incurred from a crash during the fi nals warm-up Cabrera nevertheless decided to continue to race in the fi nals Surging to 2nd place from 5th in the fi nal grid the excruciating pain however led Cabrera to slip to 4th place by the end of the race

Although bowing to Jackes for the top spot Cabrerarsquos admirable show of resilience and perseverance endeared him to fans and foes alike who knew of his injury In true AKOC camaraderie Cabrera even found an unlikely ally in Taiwanese rival Lin Tsen Han who along with his crew immediately as-

sisted Cabrera as he fi nally collapsed in pain at the weigh-in area

ldquoThere is no such thing as a broken spirit only broken bones But not even that can stop a Filipino karterrsquos will to winrdquo says Cabrera as he was whisked off to the Kiang Wu Hospital to receive emergency medical treatment

He eventually was stable enough to return to the track a few hours later in time to receive his 3rd runner-up trophy at the awarding ceremonies Cabrera is the son of Los Angeles-based business-man Richard Cabrera and is slated to compete in the seriesrsquo second leg later this month in Manila

Cabrera Win Hearts In Asian Karting

Chief mechanic Joesefi le Bariquit and Gabriel Cabrera with kart-ing trophy at the Asian Karting Open Championship during opening leg in Macau China

by Steven Buller KIvaorgAccording to a recent article in Ma-

laya Business Insight a Filipino news-paper there were 9050 bank facilities operating in the Philippines at the end of 2011 At the same time there were 15600 pawnshops and 9500 licensed

money changers that were licensed to provide fi nancial services such as remittance transactions and bill pay-ments

The Philippines are fragmented by nature The country has 7000 islands 2000 of which are inhabited Since most banks are in urban areas reaching clients on the smaller remote islands can be extremely diffi cult and costly In a country where the savings rate is abysmal many people depend on credit for everyday expenses Non-bank facilities like pawnshops which are regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (or BSP the Philippines central bank) fi ll this gap

The BSP is currently considering allowing convenience stores or ldquosari-sari shopsrdquo to become banking agents as well They would be allowed to offer a variety of services including handling remittance transactions As nearly one out of 10 Filipinos lives and works abroad remittance transactions represent a huge portion of demand for fi nancial services In fact the Philip-

pines is one of the top fi ve recipients of remittances globally receiving about USD$19 billion annually

While this informal part of the banking sector certainly promotes fi nancial inclusion the BSP has made efforts to formalize the industry In 2010 it passed an amendment to certain banking regulations allowing for banks to establish microbanking offi ces (ldquoMBOsrdquo) MBOs are much smaller and cheaper to set up than bank branches They also offer a wider range of services that are important to Filipinos including microinsurance electronic money transfers social secu-rity payouts and savings products

Refreshing News | 7122012 -- Top experts separate the fact from myth once and for all--and reveal some surprises in the process Myth 1 Eating at Night Makes You Fat FACT If your overall calorie intake is appropriate for weight loss or maintenance it may benefit you to eat something after dinner says Joni Rampolla RD Director of Nu-trition and Wellness for Medifast

Late-night calories will ultimately get used the next day (and even while you sleep) To keep your en-ergy levels up it is better to spread your calories out during the day when your body needs fuel Aim to eat something every two or three hours This will stabilize blood sugar levels and help you feel full and energized all day

If you do need a late-night snack consider keeping it to 200 calories or less

Myth 2 Hunger is a sign you need food FACT The body commonly sends cues of hunger when it is dehydrated sleep deprived or sensing psycho-logical hunger If yoursquore not drinking enough water or getting enough sleep this alone can cause you to sense hunger even though yoursquore full Rampolla says

Myth 3 Losing weight is harder than keeping it off FACT More than 90 percent of dieters regain the weight they lost (or more) once they ldquofinishrdquo their plan Rampolla says If you resume eating the foods you ate before los-ing weight you will gain the weight back-and maybe a few extra pounds Herersquos why After weight loss your slimmer body requires fewer calo-ries to function Plus if your weight-loss plan does not include enough protein you might lose muscle mass in addition to excess fat Why thatrsquos bad Muscle burns more calories than fat does so losing muscle will lower your metabolism

Every day make a positive decision to stay on track with your new healthy lifestyle Maintaining healthy eating habits is a lifelong commitment and takes persistence Rampolla says

Myth 4 Exercise makes you tired FACT As the body gets in better shape most people feel exercising gives them more energy than before Regular exercise can also help fight fatigue improve your sleep and manage your stress says Gina Crome MS MPH RD and Top 10 FitOrbitcom trainer

Myth 5 Working out is a big time commitment FACT To main-tain a healthy weight you can work out as little as 20 to 40 minutes most days of the week If your goal is to lose weight itrsquos advised that you aim for about 45 to 60 minutes each day Crome says

The best part You donrsquot need to fit it all into one session Most of us can find five to 10 minutes to spare

at different points in the day Using these spare minutes throughout the day to be active adds up quickly and eventually becomes a regular part of your healthy lifestyle

Myth 6 Lower-body workouts will give you lean legs faster FACT The type of exercise you do does not affect the number of fat cells in a specific area Crome says Even if you do 100 abs exer- cises every day without proper nutri-tion quality sleep and a well-round- ed fitness routine you might never achieve the toned flat stomach you want You will help develop the muscles in that area but that doesnrsquot equate to fat loss

When the body loses

fat it does so

in a

sys-

temic fashion-all over the body at the same time Aside from surgical procedures such as liposuction there is no way to direct or influence the elimi-nation of fat from

specific areas Crome says Myth 7 You should

only eat carbs when yoursquore ac-tive FACT This myth is based on the belief that since carbs are the bodyrsquos preferred energy source you shouldnrsquot eat them when yoursquore inactive-like most people are in the evening However many individuals have atypical schedules or regularly exercise after work These people benefit from consuming appropri-ate amounts of carbohydrates in the evening to fuel their lifestyle says John Bosse RD and Member of the Research amp Development team for USANA Health Sciences

For someone who is sedentary in the evening a small high-protein snack such as 23 cup of full-fat cottage cheese or a protein shake can actually help you stay slim Research shows that eating high-quality protein at regular intervals promotes better body composition and since a lot of time passes between dinner

and breakfast this small snack is a smart strategic move

Myth 8 Heavy weights will make you bulky FACT Unless yoursquore taking in substances that alter your hormone profile (anabolic ste-roids) it is highly unlikely that you will gain large amounts of muscle Bosse says Doing a high number of reps (20+) using light weights and stopping each set well before the point of muscular failure certainly helps improve fitness and burn calo-ries but itrsquos not the best way to get a lean toned body What is Integrate periods of heavier training (six to 10 reps) with some sets taken to muscular failure The ability to build muscle is very different for men and women and should not be confused Bosse says

Myth 9 You should do a juice cleanse to detox FACT Our bod-ies are extremely smart and have built-in processes for detoxing every day says Kristen Carlucci RD reg-istered dietitian and nutrition expert for Pitney Bowes Inc

Yes people lose weight on juice cleanses but not because of any mir-acle ingredient or because your body is cleared of toxins that are slowing

down your metabolism Weight lost during a cleanse is most likely

a result of taking in far fewer calories than

usual While fill-ing up on fruits

and vegetables is a positive thing the problem with juice cleanses is that they are a tem-porary fix They donrsquot teach you the balanced nutrition habits you should be forming in order to lose weight and keep it off for good Carlucci says

Myth 10 Carbs are the en-emy FACT With the onset of the low-carb diet craze many people deny themselves this major food group This concept is misunder-stood because itrsquos not the carbohy-drates themselves that cause weight gain itrsquos the fact that for many of us itrsquos difficult to control the portion sizes Carlucci says

Instead of cutting out carbs alto-gether (which does not sound fun at all) focus on choosing the right carbs in the proper portions Stick with whole-grain pastas and breads (each slice should have 100 calories or less and should contain at least 3 grams of fiber) and try to fill no more than 14 of your plate with starch Limit pasta to 1 cup cooked and choose potatoes that are about the size of a computer mouse

Yves Sauveacute a researcher in the Faculty of Medicine amp Dentistry and his team discovered that lab models fed DHA did not accumulate a toxic molecule at the back of the eyes The toxin normally builds up in the retina with age and causes vision loss

ldquoThis discovery could result in a very broad therapeutic userdquo says Sauveacute whose work was recently published in the peer-reviewed jour-nal Investigative Ophthalmology amp Visual Science

ldquoIn normal aging this toxin increases twofold as we age But in lab tests there was no increase in this toxin whatsoever This has never been demonstrated before -- that supplementing the diet with DHA could make this kind of differencerdquo

The team recently started another study looking at people who have age-related macular degeneration a condition that results in loss of central vision and is the main cause of blindness in people over the age of 50 The researchers will look for DNA markers in the blood of study participants The team wants to determine whether participants with certain genetic markers will respond better to increasing amounts of DHA in their diet and if so why

Sauveacute is a researcher in the departments of ophthalmology and physiology at the U of A

Various organizations funded the research the primary funder was the Canadian Institutes of Health Research

Courtesy of WebMD -- Who doesnrsquot enjoy a tall cool glass of juice The color is vibrant the taste sweet and itrsquos good for you too Not so fast say some dietitians Although the best kinds of juice deliver a bounty of vitamins the worst are hardly better than liquid candy WebMD helps you spot the difference

Drinking your veggies is a conve-nient way to add powerful plant-based nutrients to your diet The lycopene in tomato juice appears to lower the risk of prostate cancer Beet juice may reduce blood pres-sure Pulpy vegetable juice is also packed with fiber that can help con-trol hunger And all of these benefits come without a catch Vegetable juice has far less sugar and fewer calories than the typical fruit juice but it is high in sodium unless you choose the low salt version

Be on alert for the terms juice cocktail juice-flavored beverage or juice drink Most of these prod-ucts contain only small amounts of real juice The main ingredients are usually water and some type of sugar such as high-fructose corn syrup Nutritionally these drinks are similar to most soft drinks mdash rich in sugar and calories but low in nutri-ents Research suggests that sug-ary fruit drinks put kids at risk for obesity and related health problems The 2010 Dietary Guidelines recom-mends water over sugary drinks

If yoursquore only going to drink one glass of juice each day you want to make it a good one So letrsquos ex-plore which juices offer the biggest nutritional payoff per sip Pomegran-ate juice tops the list Itrsquos high in sugar and calories but delivers an abundant dose of antioxidants These substances appear to protect brain function and may ward off cancer In one study 8 ounces of pomegranate juice daily reduced the recurrence of prostate cancer

Cranberry juice is packed with vitamin C which is vital to a healthy immune system There is also evidence to support a folk remedy -- drinking unsweetened cranberry juice may help reduce your risk of urinary tract infections

Substances in blueberries may help keep the brain healthy In a small study researchers looked at the effect of blueberry juice on memory in adults in their seven-ties who had age-related memory decline Those who drank 2 12 cups of blueberry juice for 12 weeks had significant improvement on learning and memory tests compared to those who drank a non-juice beverage So choose blueberry juice to boost brain health

Researchers have only begun look-ing into the health benefits of acai juice which is made from a berry found in South America But early studies are promising Acai pulp appears to have a higher concentra-tion of antioxidants than cranber-ries blackberries strawberries or blueberries

Besides delivering a wealth of antioxidants some berry juices appear to have anti-inflammatory properties According to one study drinking cherry juice before and after your work-out can reduce exercise-induced muscle pain

Wersquove all heard that red wine in moderation can be good for the heart The same is true of red grape juice Red grape juice contains po-tent antioxiodants -- flavanoids and resveratrol The key is that wine and juice are made with the entire grape -- seeds skin and all When you eat fresh grapes you miss out on nutri-ents hiding in the seeds

Another viable folk remedy prune juice has long been recommended to relieve constipation It works because itrsquos extremely high in fiber and contains a natural laxative called sorbitol But the benefits of prune juice donrsquot stop there The juice is also packed with antioxidants iron and potassium

Itrsquos a staple at breakfast but does this popular juice carry its weight The good news is orange juice is loaded with vitamin C a star for its immune-boosting benefits In addition orange juice is often forti-fied with calcium and vitamin D nutrients that strengthen the bones

The brave non-violence of the

Subaanen peopleby Fr Shay Cullen PREDA

Some thousands of indigenous people all over the Philippines es-pecially in Mindanao especially the Subaanen people on the Zamboanga Peninsula have struggle for years to stop mining corporations from moving in to explore and mine the mountains and hills They are victims of corrupt government offi cials and even judges who are captivated by the vested inter-est of the mining industry

Some Indigenous people are sadly being forced to turn to armed resis-tance as the mining corporations move into their lands The Subaanen people have remained steadfastly non-violent and turned to the rule of law and trust in the constitution to protect them and their rightsBut is it enough

Hundreds of thousands of hectares of ancestral land has been threatened by the illegal and corrupt acts of some offi cials of the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Allegedly some of these offi cials are not on the side of the people in Mindanao but are for the rich and powerful mining interests and the banks that fund them

They allegedly enrich themselves by giving mining permits to companies

over ancestral lands which is forbidden by law It is at this level in the provinc-es where the anti-corruption campaign of President Aquino is weakest He has deposed a former president and a chief Justice but not yet the corrupt offi cials in Mindanao While the president is dedicated and honestly trying to clean up the stinking garbage of corrup-tion he cannot seemingly oust these entrenched offi cials the henchmen and women of powerful political families

They do not have allegiance to their department cabinet secretary or the president In fact they are ones who defy the president and are the hardest to get rid off The presidents politi-cal allies could be behind the corrupt practices that is opening the way for the illegal logging and issuance of mining permits They are pushing the president to override the provincial governments bans on open pit mining He must resist this pressure

Mining companies that get a permit to explore and mine also get a logging permit for the cutting the trees in the area alloted to them for mining This is totally destructive and is a way around the presidential ban on logging which goes on unabated Just drive through Mindanao and you will pass twenty or thirty huge trucks hauling cut logs I have seen them myself

For many years the Subaanen people and their supporters have stood peace-fully for their rights courageously and bravely to stop the local dynastic families and their cronies in the Inter-national mining industry from mining

their ancestral lands The Subaanen have been non-violent and trusted the democratic rule of law to save them

Their breakthrough cam in August 2011 when the Supreme Court of the Philippines granted a Writ of Ka-likasan (A protection of nature) to the people to protect the environment of the whole of the Zamboanga Peninsu-la A Writ of Kalikasan is a powerful legal remedy under Philippine law which provides for the protection ones right to a balanced and health-ful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature as provided for in Section 16 Article II of the Philippine Constitution It protects ones right for a healthy environment against damage of such magnitude that it threatens life health or property of inhabitants in two or more cities or provinces But the government of-fi cials are ignoring the Supreme Court order

Bishop Jiminez and three other bishops and an archbishop signed a letter to the London based sharehold-ers of the mining company RTZ-CRA trying to get the offi cials to stop the mining and logging wrote to the shareholders

In part he letter said ŠSince the company has the right to expatriate all the profi ts you the shareholders will probably earn some money However many of our people who own the lands where all the minerals are will become paupers Our rivers and seas

In travelling the countryside or while you are crossing the street driving your car taking the subway bedridden in the hospital or stuck in prison dont forget to say your Rosary every day Let the beads slip between your fi ngers they also slip between the fi n-gers of the Holy Father at the Vatican those of a grandmoth-er in Alaska a child on a hill in Rwanda a football player on a fi eld in Rio a Carthusian monk in his cell a Carmelite in her cloister or young evangelists on a mission

The Rosary is the certainly the prayer of the poor and the small the

sick and the suffering par excel-lence Yes always and everywhere not only in space but also in time The latitudes of the planet and longi-

tudes of history crisscross

The Hail Mary has moistened the lips of mil-lions of all ages races and nations How many chil-dren learned it as their fi rst prayer How many of the

dying whispered it as their ultimate testament The Hail Mary is a syn-thesis of two fi rst names Mary and Jesus

Father Daniel Ange

Never Forget to Say Your Rosary Everyday

Daily Meditation Listening With

Our Wounds To enter into solidarity with a suf-

fering person does not mean that we have to talk with that person about our own suffering Speaking about our own pain is seldom helpful for someone who is in pain A wounded healer is someone who can listen to a person in pain without having to speak about his or her own wounds When we have lived through a pain-ful depression we can listen with great attentiveness and love to a depressed friend without mentioning our experience Mostly it is better not to direct a suffering persons attention to ourselves We have to trust that our own bandaged wounds will allow us to listen to others with our whole beings That is healing

July 10 2012 Daily Meditation Text excerpts taken from Bread for the Journey by Henri JM Nouwen copy1997 HarperSanFrancisco All Scripture from The Jerusalem Bible copy1966 1967 and 1968 Darton Longman amp Todd and Doubleday amp Co Inc

Q How do you describe a luke-warm soul

A Jesus said lukewarm souls are souls who if He can only vomit out He will They are the souls He wanted to vomit out when He was in calvary Like in Geth-semane He said if it is only possible that He will not have to drink the cup He will not drink from it because these are the souls who are already in the light but decided to transfer to darkness That is why our Lord said what these souls are doing is the most hurting thing for Him

Q What makes Jesus happy

A What makes Jesus happy is if you can love your enemy Because how can you face God and beg for His mercy if you are not also merciful The truth is it is very diffi cult to love our enemy But there is a secret And the secret is fi rst of all we have to conquer our selves The truth is our num-ber one enemy is ourselves

because pride is in us hatred is in us all the negative are in us But if you are able to conquer your self if we are

able to defeat ourselves it means we do not have anymore pride no more hatred no more envy no more nega-tive and if all the negative are gone

it will be very easy to love your enemy

The truth is it is very easy to say ldquo I forgive yourdquo but it only comes from the mouth Deep inside the negatives are still in your heart and if it is not removed it will remain with you forever That is why you need to remove the negative You can only remove these if you love your enemy Because if you love your enemy ev-erytime you pray he is always included in your prayer and everytime you pray for your enemy slowly the thorn is be-ing removed and if the thorn is removed completely that will make Jesus very happy

To love an enemy means it is not necessary to like Just pray for him Do not say anything against him

a good chance that we will be able to extend this forward momentum as we anticipate better fi rst-half earnings from our listed fi rms The latest sovereign credit rating up-grade also provides additional support for future growth so overall I think we are in a terrifi c position to keep on im-provingrdquo PSE president Hans Sicat said in a press statement

Last July 5 the PSEi again beat its previous record high to post a fresh all-time high at 536998 As of July 6 the PSEi was the top performing market in Asia with a gain of 227 percent year-to-date beating bourses in Singapore Indonesia Malaysia Thailand Vietnam Hong Kong India and China among others

In the fi rst six months cyclical stocks banking and property led the PSEirsquos rise in the fi rst quarter albeit all indices were on the green

The fi nancial index emerged as the best performer in the fi rst half after surging by 346 percent to the 130442 level The fi nancial index was likewise the best performer in terms of bot-tomline based on fi rst-quarter earnings culled by the PSE

The next best performer was the property index which jumped by 301 percent to fi nish at 192748 in the fi rst half

The holding fi rms index rose by 281 percent to the 448880 level

Other indices performed as follows in the fi rst six months the industrial index rallied by 108 percent to fi nish at 783957 the services index climbed by 88 percent to 175902 -the mining and oil index crept higher by 48 percent to 2462948 points

ldquoJust like our main index investor confi dence in Philippines Inc is at an all-time high Whatrsquos remarkable is that we have been able to achieve unprec-edented growth even in the midst of ongoing uncertainties in the Western hemisphere and a cooling Chinese economy This is a testament to the effectiveness of the reforms that the country has undertaken which further contributed to the stable macroeconomic environmentrdquo Sicat said

The PSEirsquos fi nish in the fi rst six months was higher by 95520 points from its previous close of 429121 in the same period last year

The combined market capitalization of issues listed on the PSE during the January to June period stood at P1005 trillion up by 128 percent from a year ago

Total turnover for the fi rst half reached P94773 billion or 432 percent higher than the P66181 billion registered in the same period the previous year Average daily turnover stood at P764 billion an increase of 455 percent year-on-year

Danilova attributed this to the Russian language which ldquois not as polite as Englishhelliprdquo

ldquoSo when Russians translate directly from Russian to English it can sound rude to an English speaker even if they donrsquot mean it tordquo Danilova ldquoRussians tend to consider British people extremely polite due to their courteous way of speakingrdquo

Shooting StarPoem No 9

I wish I was a shooting star streaking through the night sky

Being here and there in brief fl ash of light

And really nowhere to be found

Me in your life being caught in your universe

Running around in circles ever nearing your space

Seeking the face by which I am doomed to certain death

Like a fl ash like a bang I am nowhere to be found

Me in your life caught in your universe streaking aimlessly

towards destruction envying the celestial dance between Moon

and Sun Sun and earth earth and heaven seeking freedom

from my desolated journey in you I found destruction through

my destruction I found my freedom

Ordinario created the only Navy dosimetry program that manages multiple afl oat and ashore command programs from one location and the fi rst overseas dosimetry hub for Department of Defense personnel in Japan The program monitored personnel for external radiation exposure while working in support of Operation Tomadachi

Ordinario said ldquoLooking at the big

Ordinario was aided by a team of radiation health staff which included deployed technicians deployed from stateside commands to support Op-eration Tomadachi ldquoThe augmented staff from different Navy Medicine Commands was vital part of being able to carry out our missionrdquo said Ordinario ldquoBeing recognized for the efforts the radiation health team did during Operation Tomadachi

is an honor and a testament to the hard work that was put in by all involvedrdquo

The Capt Ernest W Brown award established in 1986 is presented in memory of the late Capt Ernest ldquoEWrdquo Brown and recognizes an individual for excellence in Navy Occupational Health Preventive Medicine andor Health Promo-tion programs at the activity level Brown was a renowned researcher in the fi eld of biochemical warfare submarine medicine and occupa-tional medicine In 1941 he suc-cessfully implemented the ambitious industrial hygiene and forerunner of our Navy program today -- Re-printed from Seahawk Umitaka (submitted by Daughlet Ordinario of San Diego CA)

Seaoil karter Gabriel Cabrera along with fellow Filipino Flynn Jackes fi nally ended the half a decade title drought for the Philippines in the Mini-ROK class of the Asian Karting Open Championshipsrsquo opening leg at the Kartodromo de Coloane in Macau The 5-leg international race series is regarded as the most prestigious karting tilt in Asia

Racing abroad for the fi rst time 12 year old Cabrera topped the time trials at 103674 despite the absence of a coach and with only his chief mechanic Joesefi lo Bariquit in tow

The Philippines enjoyed a momentous 1-2-3 moment at the time trials with Cabrera grabbing pole position followed by Xedrei Daquigan in second and Flynn Jackes in third

Enduring an abdomen injury incurred from a crash during the fi nals warm-up Cabrera nevertheless decided to continue to race in the fi nals Surging to 2nd place from 5th in the fi nal grid the excruciating pain however led Cabrera to slip to 4th place by the end of the race

Although bowing to Jackes for the top spot Cabrerarsquos admirable show of resilience and perseverance endeared him to fans and foes alike who knew of his injury In true AKOC camaraderie Cabrera even found an unlikely ally in Taiwanese rival Lin Tsen Han who along with his crew immediately as-

sisted Cabrera as he fi nally collapsed in pain at the weigh-in area

ldquoThere is no such thing as a broken spirit only broken bones But not even that can stop a Filipino karterrsquos will to winrdquo says Cabrera as he was whisked off to the Kiang Wu Hospital to receive emergency medical treatment

He eventually was stable enough to return to the track a few hours later in time to receive his 3rd runner-up trophy at the awarding ceremonies Cabrera is the son of Los Angeles-based business-man Richard Cabrera and is slated to compete in the seriesrsquo second leg later this month in Manila

Cabrera Win Hearts In Asian Karting

Chief mechanic Joesefi le Bariquit and Gabriel Cabrera with kart-ing trophy at the Asian Karting Open Championship during opening leg in Macau China

by Steven Buller KIvaorgAccording to a recent article in Ma-

laya Business Insight a Filipino news-paper there were 9050 bank facilities operating in the Philippines at the end of 2011 At the same time there were 15600 pawnshops and 9500 licensed

money changers that were licensed to provide fi nancial services such as remittance transactions and bill pay-ments

The Philippines are fragmented by nature The country has 7000 islands 2000 of which are inhabited Since most banks are in urban areas reaching clients on the smaller remote islands can be extremely diffi cult and costly In a country where the savings rate is abysmal many people depend on credit for everyday expenses Non-bank facilities like pawnshops which are regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (or BSP the Philippines central bank) fi ll this gap

The BSP is currently considering allowing convenience stores or ldquosari-sari shopsrdquo to become banking agents as well They would be allowed to offer a variety of services including handling remittance transactions As nearly one out of 10 Filipinos lives and works abroad remittance transactions represent a huge portion of demand for fi nancial services In fact the Philip-

pines is one of the top fi ve recipients of remittances globally receiving about USD$19 billion annually

While this informal part of the banking sector certainly promotes fi nancial inclusion the BSP has made efforts to formalize the industry In 2010 it passed an amendment to certain banking regulations allowing for banks to establish microbanking offi ces (ldquoMBOsrdquo) MBOs are much smaller and cheaper to set up than bank branches They also offer a wider range of services that are important to Filipinos including microinsurance electronic money transfers social secu-rity payouts and savings products

TECH IT FROM MY BARBER by Benjamin Maynigo

Yesterday I received a reminder from the international headquarters of the International CES organizers that reg-istration to the conference and exhibit show just started

I am encouraging Asian Journal read-ers who are consumer technology pro-fessionals andor enthusiasts to attend and register early Registration now until August 31st is free but it will cost $100 starting September 1st and will increase to $200 on January 2 2013

This is the most important global tech-nology event of the year I have attended it every year for more than a decade now It had grown in terms of atten-dance and exhibit participation annually since I started going

Innovations Inventions and Initia-tives in several aspects of life will be on display New innovations in hardware software and apps cloud computing lifestyle technologies digital health and automotive technologies will be featured

As I have described in my previ-ous articles attending the likes of the International CES is like witnessing ldquolittle miraclesrdquo created and performed by fi nite beings as if guided by some Infi nite Being

I always enjoyed watching the demos of new products either vying to be in the Top 10 Gadgets Standing or just exhibit-ing them in their respective booths

It is always nice to see the best Mobile Apps demonstrated by developers and analyze their relevance as tools to inform or be informed to educate and be educated to entertain and be enter-tained and to be effi cient and effective

As a member of Press I am lucky to be provided with samples of some of the new products and technologies for review I also get to interview the CEOs of the companies that are launching and demonstrating their new gadgets

The 2013 CES will feature 3000 global technology companies unveiling the latest consumer technology products and services Among the major catego-ries of these products are electronic gaming entertainmentcontent digital imagingphotography connected home technologies automotive electronics audio video TV and many more

The new President of PANASONIC Kazuhiro Tsuga will deliver the Open-ing Keynote Address He is expected to address the ldquoopportunities ahead for consumer electronicsrdquo

Tsugarsquos address will follow the State of the CE Industry keynote address by Gary Shapiro president and CEO of CEA which organizes runs and owns the celebrated conference

Samsungrsquos President Stephen Woo will also deliver a Keynote Address to open day two of the conference He will present his ldquoinsight on the role of com-ponents in enabling consumer product innovationsrdquo

I expect Samsung to launch and unveil during the conference some new products and technologies that would affect the lives of consumers in the years to come

Most importantly let me remind you again ndash register now Do not miss the opportunity of a lifetime

The brave non-violence of the

Subaanen peopleby Fr Shay Cullen PREDA

Some thousands of indigenous people all over the Philippines es-pecially in Mindanao especially the Subaanen people on the Zamboanga Peninsula have struggle for years to stop mining corporations from moving in to explore and mine the mountains and hills They are victims of corrupt government offi cials and even judges who are captivated by the vested inter-est of the mining industry

Some Indigenous people are sadly being forced to turn to armed resis-tance as the mining corporations move into their lands The Subaanen people have remained steadfastly non-violent and turned to the rule of law and trust in the constitution to protect them and their rightsBut is it enough

Hundreds of thousands of hectares of ancestral land has been threatened by the illegal and corrupt acts of some offi cials of the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Allegedly some of these offi cials are not on the side of the people in Mindanao but are for the rich and powerful mining interests and the banks that fund them

They allegedly enrich themselves by giving mining permits to companies

over ancestral lands which is forbidden by law It is at this level in the provinc-es where the anti-corruption campaign of President Aquino is weakest He has deposed a former president and a chief Justice but not yet the corrupt offi cials in Mindanao While the president is dedicated and honestly trying to clean up the stinking garbage of corrup-tion he cannot seemingly oust these entrenched offi cials the henchmen and women of powerful political families

They do not have allegiance to their department cabinet secretary or the president In fact they are ones who defy the president and are the hardest to get rid off The presidents politi-cal allies could be behind the corrupt practices that is opening the way for the illegal logging and issuance of mining permits They are pushing the president to override the provincial governments bans on open pit mining He must resist this pressure

Mining companies that get a permit to explore and mine also get a logging permit for the cutting the trees in the area alloted to them for mining This is totally destructive and is a way around the presidential ban on logging which goes on unabated Just drive through Mindanao and you will pass twenty or thirty huge trucks hauling cut logs I have seen them myself

For many years the Subaanen people and their supporters have stood peace-fully for their rights courageously and bravely to stop the local dynastic families and their cronies in the Inter-national mining industry from mining

their ancestral lands The Subaanen have been non-violent and trusted the democratic rule of law to save them

Their breakthrough cam in August 2011 when the Supreme Court of the Philippines granted a Writ of Ka-likasan (A protection of nature) to the people to protect the environment of the whole of the Zamboanga Peninsu-la A Writ of Kalikasan is a powerful legal remedy under Philippine law which provides for the protection ones right to a balanced and health-ful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature as provided for in Section 16 Article II of the Philippine Constitution It protects ones right for a healthy environment against damage of such magnitude that it threatens life health or property of inhabitants in two or more cities or provinces But the government of-fi cials are ignoring the Supreme Court order

Bishop Jiminez and three other bishops and an archbishop signed a letter to the London based sharehold-ers of the mining company RTZ-CRA trying to get the offi cials to stop the mining and logging wrote to the shareholders

In part he letter said ŠSince the company has the right to expatriate all the profi ts you the shareholders will probably earn some money However many of our people who own the lands where all the minerals are will become paupers Our rivers and seas

In travelling the countryside or while you are crossing the street driving your car taking the subway bedridden in the hospital or stuck in prison dont forget to say your Rosary every day Let the beads slip between your fi ngers they also slip between the fi n-gers of the Holy Father at the Vatican those of a grandmoth-er in Alaska a child on a hill in Rwanda a football player on a fi eld in Rio a Carthusian monk in his cell a Carmelite in her cloister or young evangelists on a mission

The Rosary is the certainly the prayer of the poor and the small the

sick and the suffering par excel-lence Yes always and everywhere not only in space but also in time The latitudes of the planet and longi-

tudes of history crisscross

The Hail Mary has moistened the lips of mil-lions of all ages races and nations How many chil-dren learned it as their fi rst prayer How many of the

dying whispered it as their ultimate testament The Hail Mary is a syn-thesis of two fi rst names Mary and Jesus

Father Daniel Ange

Never Forget to Say Your Rosary Everyday

Daily Meditation Listening With

Our Wounds To enter into solidarity with a suf-

fering person does not mean that we have to talk with that person about our own suffering Speaking about our own pain is seldom helpful for someone who is in pain A wounded healer is someone who can listen to a person in pain without having to speak about his or her own wounds When we have lived through a pain-ful depression we can listen with great attentiveness and love to a depressed friend without mentioning our experience Mostly it is better not to direct a suffering persons attention to ourselves We have to trust that our own bandaged wounds will allow us to listen to others with our whole beings That is healing

July 10 2012 Daily Meditation Text excerpts taken from Bread for the Journey by Henri JM Nouwen copy1997 HarperSanFrancisco All Scripture from The Jerusalem Bible copy1966 1967 and 1968 Darton Longman amp Todd and Doubleday amp Co Inc

Q How do you describe a luke-warm soul

A Jesus said lukewarm souls are souls who if He can only vomit out He will They are the souls He wanted to vomit out when He was in calvary Like in Geth-semane He said if it is only possible that He will not have to drink the cup He will not drink from it because these are the souls who are already in the light but decided to transfer to darkness That is why our Lord said what these souls are doing is the most hurting thing for Him

Q What makes Jesus happy

A What makes Jesus happy is if you can love your enemy Because how can you face God and beg for His mercy if you are not also merciful The truth is it is very diffi cult to love our enemy But there is a secret And the secret is fi rst of all we have to conquer our selves The truth is our num-ber one enemy is ourselves

because pride is in us hatred is in us all the negative are in us But if you are able to conquer your self if we are

able to defeat ourselves it means we do not have anymore pride no more hatred no more envy no more nega-tive and if all the negative are gone

it will be very easy to love your enemy

The truth is it is very easy to say ldquo I forgive yourdquo but it only comes from the mouth Deep inside the negatives are still in your heart and if it is not removed it will remain with you forever That is why you need to remove the negative You can only remove these if you love your enemy Because if you love your enemy ev-erytime you pray he is always included in your prayer and everytime you pray for your enemy slowly the thorn is be-ing removed and if the thorn is removed completely that will make Jesus very happy

To love an enemy means it is not necessary to like Just pray for him Do not say anything against him

a good chance that we will be able to extend this forward momentum as we anticipate better fi rst-half earnings from our listed fi rms The latest sovereign credit rating up-grade also provides additional support for future growth so overall I think we are in a terrifi c position to keep on im-provingrdquo PSE president Hans Sicat said in a press statement

Last July 5 the PSEi again beat its previous record high to post a fresh all-time high at 536998 As of July 6 the PSEi was the top performing market in Asia with a gain of 227 percent year-to-date beating bourses in Singapore Indonesia Malaysia Thailand Vietnam Hong Kong India and China among others

In the fi rst six months cyclical stocks banking and property led the PSEirsquos rise in the fi rst quarter albeit all indices were on the green

The fi nancial index emerged as the best performer in the fi rst half after surging by 346 percent to the 130442 level The fi nancial index was likewise the best performer in terms of bot-tomline based on fi rst-quarter earnings culled by the PSE

The next best performer was the property index which jumped by 301 percent to fi nish at 192748 in the fi rst half

The holding fi rms index rose by 281 percent to the 448880 level

Other indices performed as follows in the fi rst six months the industrial index rallied by 108 percent to fi nish at 783957 the services index climbed by 88 percent to 175902 -the mining and oil index crept higher by 48 percent to 2462948 points

ldquoJust like our main index investor confi dence in Philippines Inc is at an all-time high Whatrsquos remarkable is that we have been able to achieve unprec-edented growth even in the midst of ongoing uncertainties in the Western hemisphere and a cooling Chinese economy This is a testament to the effectiveness of the reforms that the country has undertaken which further contributed to the stable macroeconomic environmentrdquo Sicat said

The PSEirsquos fi nish in the fi rst six months was higher by 95520 points from its previous close of 429121 in the same period last year

The combined market capitalization of issues listed on the PSE during the January to June period stood at P1005 trillion up by 128 percent from a year ago

Total turnover for the fi rst half reached P94773 billion or 432 percent higher than the P66181 billion registered in the same period the previous year Average daily turnover stood at P764 billion an increase of 455 percent year-on-year

Skyscanner saidRussia got 17 percent and

10 percent for UKldquoRussians can be more direct when

talking which may be misconstrued as being ruderdquo said Tatiana Da-nilova Russian market manager for Skyscanner ldquoHowever this is more a difference in culture than genuine rudenessrdquo

Danilova attributed this to the Russian language which ldquois not as polite as Englishhelliprdquo

ldquoSo when Russians translate directly from Russian to English it can sound rude to an English speaker even if they donrsquot mean it tordquo Danilova ldquoRussians tend to consider British people extremely polite due to their courteous way of speakingrdquo

The least rude meanwhile are Brazilians followed by the Carib-bean islands and the Filipinos

Pacifi c Islander communityldquoAfter being a mentee for many years

I once asked my mentor how I could repay him for his kindness He told me to help 100 other people and my debt would be repaid in full Irsquod like to help at least a million people It is great to be recognized by your peers but I feel I should be recognizing the commu-nity for their steadfast and unwavering support for me and my colleagues at IW Grouprdquo said Bill Imada Chairman amp CEO IW Group Inc - Philanthropy Leadership honoree

In spite of the challenging fundraising environment APCF was successful at raising more than $150000 that was dis-tributed among its 29 Affi liate Agencies which provide health and human ser-vices to Asian and Pacifi c Islander (API) and other ethnic communities in need throughout Los Angeles County The mission of APCF is to build healthier and stronger API communities working with its affi liates corporate and commu-nity partners and individuals to generate resources for this often overlooked and under-served population

In addition special grant presentations were made by Verizon and Walmart totaling $100000 For the second year Verizon is funding APCFrsquos scholarship program for students pursuing higher education in the science technology engineering and math related fi elds In a time when students are faced with signifi cantly rising costs of obtaining a college degree it is important that there is support for these students in the Asian and Pacifi c Islander communities A total of $25000 in scholarship awards will be given out in 2012

ldquoVerizonrsquos partnership with the Asian Pacifi c Community Fund is creating op-portunities for young people to succeed and pursue their dreams here in Califor-nia and across the countryrdquo said Gene

Shooting StarPoem No 9

I wish I was a shooting star streaking through the night sky

Being here and there in brief fl ash of light

And really nowhere to be found

Me in your life being caught in your universe

Running around in circles ever nearing your space

Seeking the face by which I am doomed to certain death

Like a fl ash like a bang I am nowhere to be found

Me in your life caught in your universe streaking aimlessly

towards destruction envying the celestial dance between Moon

and Sun Sun and earth earth and heaven seeking freedom

from my desolated journey in you I found destruction through

my destruction I found my freedom

copy 2009 Michael R Tagudin

Lt Donald Ordinario Radiation Health Offi cer US Naval Hospital (USNH) Yokosuka has been award-ed the Capt Ernest W Brown award by the Navy and Marine occupation-al health preventive medicine andor health promotion for 2011

Ordinario created the only Navy dosimetry program that manages multiple afl oat and ashore command programs from one location and the fi rst overseas dosimetry hub for Department of Defense personnel in Japan The program monitored personnel for external radiation exposure while working in support of Operation Tomadachi

Ordinario said ldquoLooking at the big

picture we were a small part of the overall Operation Tomadachi mis-sion but since external dosimetry was required for all personnel enter-ing the radiological warm zone for humanitarian assistance the USNH Yokosuka radiation health team took on the monumental challenge of en-suring personnel were appropriately monitoredrdquo

Ordinario was aided by a team of radiation health staff which included deployed technicians deployed from stateside commands to support Op-eration Tomadachi ldquoThe augmented staff from different Navy Medicine Commands was vital part of being able to carry out our missionrdquo said Ordinario ldquoBeing recognized for the efforts the radiation health team did during Operation Tomadachi

is an honor and a testament to the hard work that was put in by all involvedrdquo

The Capt Ernest W Brown award established in 1986 is presented in memory of the late Capt Ernest ldquoEWrdquo Brown and recognizes an individual for excellence in Navy Occupational Health Preventive Medicine andor Health Promo-tion programs at the activity level Brown was a renowned researcher in the fi eld of biochemical warfare submarine medicine and occupa-tional medicine In 1941 he suc-cessfully implemented the ambitious industrial hygiene and forerunner of our Navy program today -- Re-printed from Seahawk Umitaka (submitted by Daughlet Ordinario of San Diego CA)

Seaoil karter Gabriel Cabrera along with fellow Filipino Flynn Jackes fi nally ended the half a decade title drought for the Philippines in the Mini-ROK class of the Asian Karting Open Championshipsrsquo opening leg at the Kartodromo de Coloane in Macau The 5-leg international race series is regarded as the most prestigious karting tilt in Asia

Racing abroad for the fi rst time 12 year old Cabrera topped the time trials at 103674 despite the absence of a coach and with only his chief mechanic Joesefi lo Bariquit in tow

The Philippines enjoyed a momentous 1-2-3 moment at the time trials with Cabrera grabbing pole position followed by Xedrei Daquigan in second and Flynn Jackes in third

Enduring an abdomen injury incurred from a crash during the fi nals warm-up Cabrera nevertheless decided to continue to race in the fi nals Surging to 2nd place from 5th in the fi nal grid the excruciating pain however led Cabrera to slip to 4th place by the end of the race

Although bowing to Jackes for the top spot Cabrerarsquos admirable show of resilience and perseverance endeared him to fans and foes alike who knew of his injury In true AKOC camaraderie Cabrera even found an unlikely ally in Taiwanese rival Lin Tsen Han who along with his crew immediately as-

sisted Cabrera as he fi nally collapsed in pain at the weigh-in area

ldquoThere is no such thing as a broken spirit only broken bones But not even that can stop a Filipino karterrsquos will to winrdquo says Cabrera as he was whisked off to the Kiang Wu Hospital to receive emergency medical treatment

He eventually was stable enough to return to the track a few hours later in time to receive his 3rd runner-up trophy at the awarding ceremonies Cabrera is the son of Los Angeles-based business-man Richard Cabrera and is slated to compete in the seriesrsquo second leg later this month in Manila

Cabrera Win Hearts In Asian Karting

Chief mechanic Joesefi le Bariquit and Gabriel Cabrera with kart-ing trophy at the Asian Karting Open Championship during opening leg in Macau China

by Steven Buller KIvaorgAccording to a recent article in Ma-

laya Business Insight a Filipino news-paper there were 9050 bank facilities operating in the Philippines at the end of 2011 At the same time there were 15600 pawnshops and 9500 licensed

money changers that were licensed to provide fi nancial services such as remittance transactions and bill pay-ments

The Philippines are fragmented by nature The country has 7000 islands 2000 of which are inhabited Since most banks are in urban areas reaching clients on the smaller remote islands can be extremely diffi cult and costly In a country where the savings rate is abysmal many people depend on credit for everyday expenses Non-bank facilities like pawnshops which are regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (or BSP the Philippines central bank) fi ll this gap

The BSP is currently considering allowing convenience stores or ldquosari-sari shopsrdquo to become banking agents as well They would be allowed to offer a variety of services including handling remittance transactions As nearly one out of 10 Filipinos lives and works abroad remittance transactions represent a huge portion of demand for fi nancial services In fact the Philip-

pines is one of the top fi ve recipients of remittances globally receiving about USD$19 billion annually

While this informal part of the banking sector certainly promotes fi nancial inclusion the BSP has made efforts to formalize the industry In 2010 it passed an amendment to certain banking regulations allowing for banks to establish microbanking offi ces (ldquoMBOsrdquo) MBOs are much smaller and cheaper to set up than bank branches They also offer a wider range of services that are important to Filipinos including microinsurance electronic money transfers social secu-rity payouts and savings products

The brave non-violence of the

Subaanen peopleby Fr Shay Cullen PREDA

Some thousands of indigenous people all over the Philippines es-pecially in Mindanao especially the Subaanen people on the Zamboanga Peninsula have struggle for years to stop mining corporations from moving in to explore and mine the mountains and hills They are victims of corrupt government offi cials and even judges who are captivated by the vested inter-est of the mining industry

Some Indigenous people are sadly being forced to turn to armed resis-tance as the mining corporations move into their lands The Subaanen people have remained steadfastly non-violent and turned to the rule of law and trust in the constitution to protect them and their rightsBut is it enough

Hundreds of thousands of hectares of ancestral land has been threatened by the illegal and corrupt acts of some offi cials of the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Allegedly some of these offi cials are not on the side of the people in Mindanao but are for the rich and powerful mining interests and the banks that fund them

They allegedly enrich themselves by giving mining permits to companies

over ancestral lands which is forbidden by law It is at this level in the provinc-es where the anti-corruption campaign of President Aquino is weakest He has deposed a former president and a chief Justice but not yet the corrupt offi cials in Mindanao While the president is dedicated and honestly trying to clean up the stinking garbage of corrup-tion he cannot seemingly oust these entrenched offi cials the henchmen and women of powerful political families

They do not have allegiance to their department cabinet secretary or the president In fact they are ones who defy the president and are the hardest to get rid off The presidents politi-cal allies could be behind the corrupt practices that is opening the way for the illegal logging and issuance of mining permits They are pushing the president to override the provincial governments bans on open pit mining He must resist this pressure

Mining companies that get a permit to explore and mine also get a logging permit for the cutting the trees in the area alloted to them for mining This is totally destructive and is a way around the presidential ban on logging which goes on unabated Just drive through Mindanao and you will pass twenty or thirty huge trucks hauling cut logs I have seen them myself

For many years the Subaanen people and their supporters have stood peace-fully for their rights courageously and bravely to stop the local dynastic families and their cronies in the Inter-national mining industry from mining

their ancestral lands The Subaanen have been non-violent and trusted the democratic rule of law to save them

Their breakthrough cam in August 2011 when the Supreme Court of the Philippines granted a Writ of Ka-likasan (A protection of nature) to the people to protect the environment of the whole of the Zamboanga Peninsu-la A Writ of Kalikasan is a powerful legal remedy under Philippine law which provides for the protection ones right to a balanced and health-ful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature as provided for in Section 16 Article II of the Philippine Constitution It protects ones right for a healthy environment against damage of such magnitude that it threatens life health or property of inhabitants in two or more cities or provinces But the government of-fi cials are ignoring the Supreme Court order

Bishop Jiminez and three other bishops and an archbishop signed a letter to the London based sharehold-ers of the mining company RTZ-CRA trying to get the offi cials to stop the mining and logging wrote to the shareholders

In part he letter said ŠSince the company has the right to expatriate all the profi ts you the shareholders will probably earn some money However many of our people who own the lands where all the minerals are will become paupers Our rivers and seas

In travelling the countryside or while you are crossing the street driving your car taking the subway bedridden in the hospital or stuck in prison dont forget to say your Rosary every day Let the beads slip between your fi ngers they also slip between the fi n-gers of the Holy Father at the Vatican those of a grandmoth-er in Alaska a child on a hill in Rwanda a football player on a fi eld in Rio a Carthusian monk in his cell a Carmelite in her cloister or young evangelists on a mission

The Rosary is the certainly the prayer of the poor and the small the

sick and the suffering par excel-lence Yes always and everywhere not only in space but also in time The latitudes of the planet and longi-

tudes of history crisscross

The Hail Mary has moistened the lips of mil-lions of all ages races and nations How many chil-dren learned it as their fi rst prayer How many of the

dying whispered it as their ultimate testament The Hail Mary is a syn-thesis of two fi rst names Mary and Jesus

Father Daniel Ange

Never Forget to Say Your Rosary Everyday

Daily Meditation Listening With

Our Wounds To enter into solidarity with a suf-

fering person does not mean that we have to talk with that person about our own suffering Speaking about our own pain is seldom helpful for someone who is in pain A wounded healer is someone who can listen to a person in pain without having to speak about his or her own wounds When we have lived through a pain-ful depression we can listen with great attentiveness and love to a depressed friend without mentioning our experience Mostly it is better not to direct a suffering persons attention to ourselves We have to trust that our own bandaged wounds will allow us to listen to others with our whole beings That is healing

July 10 2012 Daily Meditation Text excerpts taken from Bread for the Journey by Henri JM Nouwen copy1997 HarperSanFrancisco All Scripture from The Jerusalem Bible copy1966 1967 and 1968 Darton Longman amp Todd and Doubleday amp Co Inc

Q How do you describe a luke-warm soul

A Jesus said lukewarm souls are souls who if He can only vomit out He will They are the souls He wanted to vomit out when He was in calvary Like in Geth-semane He said if it is only possible that He will not have to drink the cup He will not drink from it because these are the souls who are already in the light but decided to transfer to darkness That is why our Lord said what these souls are doing is the most hurting thing for Him

Q What makes Jesus happy

A What makes Jesus happy is if you can love your enemy Because how can you face God and beg for His mercy if you are not also merciful The truth is it is very diffi cult to love our enemy But there is a secret And the secret is fi rst of all we have to conquer our selves The truth is our num-ber one enemy is ourselves

because pride is in us hatred is in us all the negative are in us But if you are able to conquer your self if we are

able to defeat ourselves it means we do not have anymore pride no more hatred no more envy no more nega-tive and if all the negative are gone

it will be very easy to love your enemy

The truth is it is very easy to say ldquo I forgive yourdquo but it only comes from the mouth Deep inside the negatives are still in your heart and if it is not removed it will remain with you forever That is why you need to remove the negative You can only remove these if you love your enemy Because if you love your enemy ev-erytime you pray he is always included in your prayer and everytime you pray for your enemy slowly the thorn is be-ing removed and if the thorn is removed completely that will make Jesus very happy

To love an enemy means it is not necessary to like Just pray for him Do not say anything against him

a good chance that we will be able to extend this forward momentum as we anticipate better fi rst-half earnings from our listed fi rms The latest sovereign credit rating up-grade also provides additional support for future growth so overall I think we are in a terrifi c position to keep on im-provingrdquo PSE president Hans Sicat said in a press statement

Last July 5 the PSEi again beat its previous record high to post a fresh all-time high at 536998 As of July 6 the PSEi was the top performing market in Asia with a gain of 227 percent year-to-date beating bourses in Singapore Indonesia Malaysia Thailand Vietnam Hong Kong India and China among others

In the fi rst six months cyclical stocks banking and property led the PSEirsquos rise in the fi rst quarter albeit all indices were on the green

The fi nancial index emerged as the best performer in the fi rst half after surging by 346 percent to the 130442 level The fi nancial index was likewise the best performer in terms of bot-tomline based on fi rst-quarter earnings culled by the PSE

The next best performer was the property index which jumped by 301 percent to fi nish at 192748 in the fi rst half

The holding fi rms index rose by 281 percent to the 448880 level

Other indices performed as follows in the fi rst six months the industrial index rallied by 108 percent to fi nish at 783957 the services index climbed by 88 percent to 175902 -the mining and oil index crept higher by 48 percent to 2462948 points

ldquoJust like our main index investor confi dence in Philippines Inc is at an all-time high Whatrsquos remarkable is that we have been able to achieve unprec-edented growth even in the midst of ongoing uncertainties in the Western hemisphere and a cooling Chinese economy This is a testament to the effectiveness of the reforms that the country has undertaken which further contributed to the stable macroeconomic environmentrdquo Sicat said

The PSEirsquos fi nish in the fi rst six months was higher by 95520 points from its previous close of 429121 in the same period last year

The combined market capitalization of issues listed on the PSE during the January to June period stood at P1005 trillion up by 128 percent from a year ago

Total turnover for the fi rst half reached P94773 billion or 432 percent higher than the P66181 billion registered in the same period the previous year Average daily turnover stood at P764 billion an increase of 455 percent year-on-year

Skyscanner saidRussia got 17 percent and

10 percent for UKldquoRussians can be more direct when

talking which may be misconstrued as being ruderdquo said Tatiana Da-nilova Russian market manager for Skyscanner ldquoHowever this is more a difference in culture than genuine rudenessrdquo

Danilova attributed this to the Russian language which ldquois not as polite as Englishhelliprdquo

ldquoSo when Russians translate directly from Russian to English it can sound rude to an English speaker even if they donrsquot mean it tordquo Danilova ldquoRussians tend to consider British people extremely polite due to their courteous way of speakingrdquo

The least rude meanwhile are Brazilians followed by the Carib-bean islands and the Filipinos

Pacifi c Islander communityldquoAfter being a mentee for many years

I once asked my mentor how I could repay him for his kindness He told me to help 100 other people and my debt would be repaid in full Irsquod like to help at least a million people It is great to be recognized by your peers but I feel I should be recognizing the commu-nity for their steadfast and unwavering support for me and my colleagues at IW Grouprdquo said Bill Imada Chairman amp CEO IW Group Inc - Philanthropy Leadership honoree

In spite of the challenging fundraising environment APCF was successful at raising more than $150000 that was dis-tributed among its 29 Affi liate Agencies which provide health and human ser-vices to Asian and Pacifi c Islander (API) and other ethnic communities in need throughout Los Angeles County The mission of APCF is to build healthier and stronger API communities working with its affi liates corporate and commu-nity partners and individuals to generate resources for this often overlooked and under-served population

In addition special grant presentations were made by Verizon and Walmart totaling $100000 For the second year Verizon is funding APCFrsquos scholarship program for students pursuing higher education in the science technology engineering and math related fi elds In a time when students are faced with signifi cantly rising costs of obtaining a college degree it is important that there is support for these students in the Asian and Pacifi c Islander communities A total of $25000 in scholarship awards will be given out in 2012

ldquoVerizonrsquos partnership with the Asian Pacifi c Community Fund is creating op-portunities for young people to succeed and pursue their dreams here in Califor-nia and across the countryrdquo said Gene

Shooting StarPoem No 9

I wish I was a shooting star streaking through the night sky

Being here and there in brief fl ash of light

And really nowhere to be found

Me in your life being caught in your universe

Running around in circles ever nearing your space

Seeking the face by which I am doomed to certain death

Like a fl ash like a bang I am nowhere to be found

Me in your life caught in your universe streaking aimlessly

towards destruction envying the celestial dance between Moon

and Sun Sun and earth earth and heaven seeking freedom

from my desolated journey in you I found destruction through

my destruction I found my freedom

copy 2009 Michael R Tagudin

Lt Donald Ordinario Radiation Health Offi cer US Naval Hospital (USNH) Yokosuka has been award-ed the Capt Ernest W Brown award by the Navy and Marine occupation-al health preventive medicine andor health promotion for 2011

Ordinario created the only Navy dosimetry program that manages multiple afl oat and ashore command programs from one location and the fi rst overseas dosimetry hub for Department of Defense personnel in Japan The program monitored personnel for external radiation exposure while working in support of Operation Tomadachi

Ordinario said ldquoLooking at the big

picture we were a small part of the overall Operation Tomadachi mis-sion but since external dosimetry was required for all personnel enter-ing the radiological warm zone for humanitarian assistance the USNH Yokosuka radiation health team took on the monumental challenge of en-suring personnel were appropriately monitoredrdquo

Ordinario was aided by a team of radiation health staff which included deployed technicians deployed from stateside commands to support Op-eration Tomadachi ldquoThe augmented staff from different Navy Medicine Commands was vital part of being able to carry out our missionrdquo said Ordinario ldquoBeing recognized for the efforts the radiation health team did during Operation Tomadachi

is an honor and a testament to the hard work that was put in by all involvedrdquo

The Capt Ernest W Brown award established in 1986 is presented in memory of the late Capt Ernest ldquoEWrdquo Brown and recognizes an individual for excellence in Navy Occupational Health Preventive Medicine andor Health Promo-tion programs at the activity level Brown was a renowned researcher in the fi eld of biochemical warfare submarine medicine and occupa-tional medicine In 1941 he suc-cessfully implemented the ambitious industrial hygiene and forerunner of our Navy program today -- Re-printed from Seahawk Umitaka (submitted by Daughlet Ordinario of San Diego CA)

Seaoil karter Gabriel Cabrera along with fellow Filipino Flynn Jackes fi nally ended the half a decade title drought for the Philippines in the Mini-ROK class of the Asian Karting Open Championshipsrsquo opening leg at the Kartodromo de Coloane in Macau The 5-leg international race series is regarded as the most prestigious karting tilt in Asia

Racing abroad for the fi rst time 12 year old Cabrera topped the time trials at 103674 despite the absence of a coach and with only his chief mechanic Joesefi lo Bariquit in tow

The Philippines enjoyed a momentous 1-2-3 moment at the time trials with Cabrera grabbing pole position followed by Xedrei Daquigan in second and Flynn Jackes in third

Enduring an abdomen injury incurred from a crash during the fi nals warm-up Cabrera nevertheless decided to continue to race in the fi nals Surging to 2nd place from 5th in the fi nal grid the excruciating pain however led Cabrera to slip to 4th place by the end of the race

Although bowing to Jackes for the top spot Cabrerarsquos admirable show of resilience and perseverance endeared him to fans and foes alike who knew of his injury In true AKOC camaraderie Cabrera even found an unlikely ally in Taiwanese rival Lin Tsen Han who along with his crew immediately as-

sisted Cabrera as he fi nally collapsed in pain at the weigh-in area

ldquoThere is no such thing as a broken spirit only broken bones But not even that can stop a Filipino karterrsquos will to winrdquo says Cabrera as he was whisked off to the Kiang Wu Hospital to receive emergency medical treatment

He eventually was stable enough to return to the track a few hours later in time to receive his 3rd runner-up trophy at the awarding ceremonies Cabrera is the son of Los Angeles-based business-man Richard Cabrera and is slated to compete in the seriesrsquo second leg later this month in Manila

Cabrera Win Hearts In Asian Karting

Chief mechanic Joesefi le Bariquit and Gabriel Cabrera with kart-ing trophy at the Asian Karting Open Championship during opening leg in Macau China

by Steven Buller KIvaorgAccording to a recent article in Ma-

laya Business Insight a Filipino news-paper there were 9050 bank facilities operating in the Philippines at the end of 2011 At the same time there were 15600 pawnshops and 9500 licensed

money changers that were licensed to provide fi nancial services such as remittance transactions and bill pay-ments

The Philippines are fragmented by nature The country has 7000 islands 2000 of which are inhabited Since most banks are in urban areas reaching clients on the smaller remote islands can be extremely diffi cult and costly In a country where the savings rate is abysmal many people depend on credit for everyday expenses Non-bank facilities like pawnshops which are regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (or BSP the Philippines central bank) fi ll this gap

The BSP is currently considering allowing convenience stores or ldquosari-sari shopsrdquo to become banking agents as well They would be allowed to offer a variety of services including handling remittance transactions As nearly one out of 10 Filipinos lives and works abroad remittance transactions represent a huge portion of demand for fi nancial services In fact the Philip-

pines is one of the top fi ve recipients of remittances globally receiving about USD$19 billion annually

While this informal part of the banking sector certainly promotes fi nancial inclusion the BSP has made efforts to formalize the industry In 2010 it passed an amendment to certain banking regulations allowing for banks to establish microbanking offi ces (ldquoMBOsrdquo) MBOs are much smaller and cheaper to set up than bank branches They also offer a wider range of services that are important to Filipinos including microinsurance electronic money transfers social secu-rity payouts and savings products

a good chance that we will be able to extend this forward momentum as we anticipate better fi rst-half earnings from our listed fi rms The latest sovereign credit rating up-grade also provides additional support for future growth so overall I think we are in a terrifi c position to keep on im-provingrdquo PSE president Hans Sicat said in a press statement

Last July 5 the PSEi again beat its previous record high to post a fresh all-time high at 536998 As of July 6 the PSEi was the top performing market in Asia with a gain of 227 percent year-to-date beating bourses in Singapore Indonesia Malaysia Thailand Vietnam Hong Kong India and China among others

In the fi rst six months cyclical stocks banking and property led the PSEirsquos rise in the fi rst quarter albeit all indices were on the green

The fi nancial index emerged as the best performer in the fi rst half after surging by 346 percent to the 130442 level The fi nancial index was likewise the best performer in terms of bot-tomline based on fi rst-quarter earnings culled by the PSE

The next best performer was the property index which jumped by 301 percent to fi nish at 192748 in the fi rst half

The holding fi rms index rose by 281 percent to the 448880 level

Other indices performed as follows in the fi rst six months the industrial index rallied by 108 percent to fi nish at 783957 the services index climbed by 88 percent to 175902 -the mining and oil index crept higher by 48 percent to 2462948 points

ldquoJust like our main index investor confi dence in Philippines Inc is at an all-time high Whatrsquos remarkable is that we have been able to achieve unprec-edented growth even in the midst of ongoing uncertainties in the Western hemisphere and a cooling Chinese economy This is a testament to the effectiveness of the reforms that the country has undertaken which further contributed to the stable macroeconomic environmentrdquo Sicat said

The PSEirsquos fi nish in the fi rst six months was higher by 95520 points from its previous close of 429121 in the same period last year

The combined market capitalization of issues listed on the PSE during the January to June period stood at P1005 trillion up by 128 percent from a year ago

Total turnover for the fi rst half reached P94773 billion or 432 percent higher than the P66181 billion registered in the same period the previous year Average daily turnover stood at P764 billion an increase of 455 percent year-on-year

Danilova attributed this to the Russian language which ldquois not as polite as Englishhelliprdquo

ldquoSo when Russians translate directly from Russian to English it can sound rude to an English speaker even if they donrsquot mean it tordquo Danilova ldquoRussians tend to consider British people extremely polite due to their courteous way of speakingrdquo

In addition special grant presentations were made by Verizon and Walmart totaling $100000 For the second year Verizon is funding APCFrsquos scholarship program for students pursuing higher education in the science technology engineering and math related fi elds In a time when students are faced with signifi cantly rising costs of obtaining a college degree it is important that there is support for these students in the Asian and Pacifi c Islander communities A total of $25000 in scholarship awards will be given out in 2012

Shooting StarPoem No 9

I wish I was a shooting star streaking through the night sky

Being here and there in brief fl ash of light

And really nowhere to be found

Me in your life being caught in your universe

Running around in circles ever nearing your space

Seeking the face by which I am doomed to certain death

Like a fl ash like a bang I am nowhere to be found

Me in your life caught in your universe streaking aimlessly

towards destruction envying the celestial dance between Moon

and Sun Sun and earth earth and heaven seeking freedom

from my desolated journey in you I found destruction through

my destruction I found my freedom

Lt Donald Ordinario Radiation Health Offi cer US Naval Hospital (USNH) Yokosuka has been award-ed the Capt Ernest W Brown award by the Navy and Marine occupation-al health preventive medicine andor health promotion for 2011

Ordinario created the only Navy dosimetry program that manages multiple afl oat and ashore command programs from one location and the fi rst overseas dosimetry hub for Department of Defense personnel in Japan The program monitored personnel for external radiation exposure while working in support of Operation Tomadachi

Ordinario said ldquoLooking at the big

US Naval Hospital Offi cer Awarded For Disaster Relief Efforts

picture we were a small part of the overall Operation Tomadachi mis-sion but since external dosimetry was required for all personnel enter-ing the radiological warm zone for humanitarian assistance the USNH Yokosuka radiation health team took on the monumental challenge of en-suring personnel were appropriately monitoredrdquo

Ordinario was aided by a team of radiation health staff which included deployed technicians deployed from stateside commands to support Op-eration Tomadachi ldquoThe augmented staff from different Navy Medicine Commands was vital part of being able to carry out our missionrdquo said Ordinario ldquoBeing recognized for the efforts the radiation health team did during Operation Tomadachi

is an honor and a testament to the hard work that was put in by all involvedrdquo

The Capt Ernest W Brown award established in 1986 is presented in memory of the late Capt Ernest ldquoEWrdquo Brown and recognizes an individual for excellence in Navy Occupational Health Preventive Medicine andor Health Promo-tion programs at the activity level Brown was a renowned researcher in the fi eld of biochemical warfare submarine medicine and occupa-tional medicine In 1941 he suc-cessfully implemented the ambitious industrial hygiene and forerunner of our Navy program today -- Re-printed from Seahawk Umitaka (submitted by Daughlet Ordinario of San Diego CA)

Seaoil karter Gabriel Cabrera along with fellow Filipino Flynn Jackes fi nally ended the half a decade title drought for the Philippines in the Mini-ROK class of the Asian Karting Open Championshipsrsquo opening leg at the Kartodromo de Coloane in Macau The 5-leg international race series is regarded as the most prestigious karting tilt in Asia

Racing abroad for the fi rst time 12 year old Cabrera topped the time trials at 103674 despite the absence of a coach and with only his chief mechanic Joesefi lo Bariquit in tow

The Philippines enjoyed a momentous 1-2-3 moment at the time trials with Cabrera grabbing pole position followed by Xedrei Daquigan in second and Flynn Jackes in third

Enduring an abdomen injury incurred from a crash during the fi nals warm-up Cabrera nevertheless decided to continue to race in the fi nals Surging to 2nd place from 5th in the fi nal grid the excruciating pain however led Cabrera to slip to 4th place by the end of the race

Although bowing to Jackes for the top spot Cabrerarsquos admirable show of resilience and perseverance endeared him to fans and foes alike who knew of his injury In true AKOC camaraderie Cabrera even found an unlikely ally in Taiwanese rival Lin Tsen Han who along with his crew immediately as-

sisted Cabrera as he fi nally collapsed in pain at the weigh-in area

ldquoThere is no such thing as a broken spirit only broken bones But not even that can stop a Filipino karterrsquos will to winrdquo says Cabrera as he was whisked off to the Kiang Wu Hospital to receive emergency medical treatment

He eventually was stable enough to return to the track a few hours later in time to receive his 3rd runner-up trophy at the awarding ceremonies Cabrera is the son of Los Angeles-based business-man Richard Cabrera and is slated to compete in the seriesrsquo second leg later this month in Manila

Cabrera Win Hearts In Asian Karting

by Steven Buller KIvaorgAccording to a recent article in Ma-

laya Business Insight a Filipino news-paper there were 9050 bank facilities operating in the Philippines at the end of 2011 At the same time there were 15600 pawnshops and 9500 licensed

money changers that were licensed to provide fi nancial services such as remittance transactions and bill pay-ments

The Philippines are fragmented by nature The country has 7000 islands 2000 of which are inhabited Since most banks are in urban areas reaching clients on the smaller remote islands can be extremely diffi cult and costly In a country where the savings rate is abysmal many people depend on credit for everyday expenses Non-bank facilities like pawnshops which are regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (or BSP the Philippines central bank) fi ll this gap

The BSP is currently considering allowing convenience stores or ldquosari-sari shopsrdquo to become banking agents as well They would be allowed to offer a variety of services including handling remittance transactions As nearly one out of 10 Filipinos lives and works abroad remittance transactions represent a huge portion of demand for fi nancial services In fact the Philip-

pines is one of the top fi ve recipients of remittances globally receiving about USD$19 billion annually

While this informal part of the banking sector certainly promotes fi nancial inclusion the BSP has made efforts to formalize the industry In 2010 it passed an amendment to certain banking regulations allowing for banks to establish microbanking offi ces (ldquoMBOsrdquo) MBOs are much smaller and cheaper to set up than bank branches They also offer a wider range of services that are important to Filipinos including microinsurance electronic money transfers social secu-rity payouts and savings products

Lt Donald Ordinario Radiation Health Offi cer US Naval Hospital (USNH) Yokosuka has been award-ed the Capt Ernest W Brown award by the Navy and Marine occupation-al health preventive medicine andor health promotion for 2011

Ordinario created the only Navy dosimetry program that manages multiple afl oat and ashore command programs from one location and the fi rst overseas dosimetry hub for Department of Defense personnel in Japan The program monitored personnel for external radiation exposure while working in support of Operation Tomadachi

Ordinario said ldquoLooking at the big

picture we were a small part of the overall Operation Tomadachi mis-sion but since external dosimetry was required for all personnel enter-ing the radiological warm zone for humanitarian assistance the USNH Yokosuka radiation health team took on the monumental challenge of en-suring personnel were appropriately monitoredrdquo

Ordinario was aided by a team of radiation health staff which included deployed technicians deployed from stateside commands to support Op-eration Tomadachi ldquoThe augmented staff from different Navy Medicine Commands was vital part of being able to carry out our missionrdquo said Ordinario ldquoBeing recognized for the efforts the radiation health team did during Operation Tomadachi

is an honor and a testament to the hard work that was put in by all involvedrdquo

The Capt Ernest W Brown award established in 1986 is presented in memory of the late Capt Ernest ldquoEWrdquo Brown and recognizes an individual for excellence in Navy Occupational Health Preventive Medicine andor Health Promo-tion programs at the activity level Brown was a renowned researcher in the fi eld of biochemical warfare submarine medicine and occupa-tional medicine In 1941 he suc-cessfully implemented the ambitious industrial hygiene and forerunner of our Navy program today -- Re-printed from Seahawk Umitaka (submitted by Daughlet Ordinario of San Diego CA)

Seaoil karter Gabriel Cabrera along with fellow Filipino Flynn Jackes fi nally ended the half a decade title drought for the Philippines in the Mini-ROK class of the Asian Karting Open Championshipsrsquo opening leg at the Kartodromo de Coloane in Macau The 5-leg international race series is regarded as the most prestigious karting tilt in Asia

Racing abroad for the fi rst time 12 year old Cabrera topped the time trials at 103674 despite the absence of a coach and with only his chief mechanic Joesefi lo Bariquit in tow

The Philippines enjoyed a momentous 1-2-3 moment at the time trials with Cabrera grabbing pole position followed by Xedrei Daquigan in second and Flynn Jackes in third

Enduring an abdomen injury incurred from a crash during the fi nals warm-up Cabrera nevertheless decided to continue to race in the fi nals Surging to 2nd place from 5th in the fi nal grid the excruciating pain however led Cabrera to slip to 4th place by the end of the race

Although bowing to Jackes for the top spot Cabrerarsquos admirable show of resilience and perseverance endeared him to fans and foes alike who knew of his injury In true AKOC camaraderie Cabrera even found an unlikely ally in Taiwanese rival Lin Tsen Han who along with his crew immediately as-

sisted Cabrera as he fi nally collapsed in pain at the weigh-in area

ldquoThere is no such thing as a broken spirit only broken bones But not even that can stop a Filipino karterrsquos will to winrdquo says Cabrera as he was whisked off to the Kiang Wu Hospital to receive emergency medical treatment

He eventually was stable enough to return to the track a few hours later in time to receive his 3rd runner-up trophy at the awarding ceremonies Cabrera is the son of Los Angeles-based business-man Richard Cabrera and is slated to compete in the seriesrsquo second leg later this month in Manila

Cabrera Win Hearts In Asian Karting

Chief mechanic Joesefi le Bariquit and Gabriel Cabrera with kart-ing trophy at the Asian Karting Open Championship during opening leg in Macau China

by Steven Buller KIvaorgAccording to a recent article in Ma-

laya Business Insight a Filipino news-paper there were 9050 bank facilities operating in the Philippines at the end of 2011 At the same time there were 15600 pawnshops and 9500 licensed

money changers that were licensed to provide fi nancial services such as remittance transactions and bill pay-ments

The Philippines are fragmented by nature The country has 7000 islands 2000 of which are inhabited Since most banks are in urban areas reaching clients on the smaller remote islands can be extremely diffi cult and costly In a country where the savings rate is abysmal many people depend on credit for everyday expenses Non-bank facilities like pawnshops which are regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (or BSP the Philippines central bank) fi ll this gap

The BSP is currently considering allowing convenience stores or ldquosari-sari shopsrdquo to become banking agents as well They would be allowed to offer a variety of services including handling remittance transactions As nearly one out of 10 Filipinos lives and works abroad remittance transactions represent a huge portion of demand for fi nancial services In fact the Philip-

pines is one of the top fi ve recipients of remittances globally receiving about USD$19 billion annually

While this informal part of the banking sector certainly promotes fi nancial inclusion the BSP has made efforts to formalize the industry In 2010 it passed an amendment to certain banking regulations allowing for banks to establish microbanking offi ces (ldquoMBOsrdquo) MBOs are much smaller and cheaper to set up than bank branches They also offer a wider range of services that are important to Filipinos including microinsurance electronic money transfers social secu-rity payouts and savings products
