In years past a minor child who is the beneficiary of an immigrant peti-tion (either directly or as a derivative beneficiary) of an immigrant petition must set foot in US soil before he turns 21 years old otherwise he will lose immigration benefits as a minor child So much of a minor childrsquos fate is left at the mercy of the USCIS and the Department of State Previ-ously processing delays from these government agencies would result in families being separated for many years

The passing of the Child Status Protection Act of 2002 (ldquoCSPArdquo) which took effect on August 6 2002 provided for ldquoage outrdquo protections allowing minor children to retain their classification as minor children even if he or she has reached the age of 21

Minor Children of US citizensProvided the US citizen par-

ent files the immigrant petition on behalf of the minor child while he is under 21 years old his age will be ldquofrozenrdquo on the date his US citizen parent filed the immigrant petition For example if the US citizen parent filed the immigrant petition for his minor child when he was 20 years old under the provisions of the CSPA for immigration purposes his age will remain at 20 years old regardless of the processing time it takes for the child to acquire lawful permanent residence status

Minor Children of Lawful Perma-nent Residents Who Subsequently Naturalize

In instances where the immigrant petition was filed for the minor child while his parent was a lawful permanent resident and the parent subsequently naturalizes the minor childrsquos age is ldquofrozenrdquo on the date his parent naturalizes provided he was under the age of 21 years old at that time

Minor Children of Lawful Perma-nent Residents

Minor children of lawful perma-

nent residents are subject to visa availability Thus for a child to retain his classification as a minor child he has to be under the age of 21 on the date a visa number becomes available under his prefer-ence category To determine his age on the date the visa number becomes available the period of time the petition was pending is deducted from his age (the number of days between the date the petition was filed and the date the petition was approved) at the time a visa number is available under his preference category For example a lawful permanent resident parent files an immigrant petition on October 1 2006 for his minor child who was born on October 1 1997 At the time he filed the immigrant petition his minor child was exactly 19 years old according the child F-2A prefer-ence category status (minor child of a lawful permanent resident) The immigrant petition was pending for three years and was approved on October 1 2009 A visa number becomes available under this prefer-ence category on October 2010 The real age of the minor child is now 23 years old However his ldquoCSPA agerdquo is only 20 years old (by deducting the 3 years when the petition was pending from his age at the time the visa is available under his preference category) Hence while his real age is 23 as of October 2010 his CSPA age is only 20 years old and he is still deemed a minor child for im-migration purposes

Minor Children As Derivative Beneficiaries

Minor children are also deemed as derivative beneficiaries of their parents who have been petitioned by their siblings (aunts and uncles of the minor children) or by their par-ents (minor childrenrsquos grandparents) The same calculation provided in the immediately preceding paragraph is used to determine the age of the mi-nor child For example a child was born on October 1 1988 On March 1 1991 an immigrant petition was

filed on behalf of the minor childrsquos father by his brother thereby ac-cording him F4 preference category (brothers and sisters of US citi-zens) The immigrant petition was pending for 5 years before it was approved On October 2010 the visa numbers under this preference category become available The real age of the minor child as of October 2010 is 22 years old However the minor childrsquos CSPA age is only 17 years old (by deducting the period of time the immigrant petition was pending in this case 5 years from his age at the time the visa numbers under his fatherrsquos preference cat-egory is available)

If a childrsquos age is determined to be under 21 years old he will benefit from the CSPA provided he seeks to acquire lawful permanent residence status within one year of the date the visa became available

CSPArsquos ldquoAge Outrdquo Protections

CHEER FACTOR By Bayani San Diego Jr Philippine Daily Inquirer | LOS ANGELES 5262012 -- HOLLIDAY SCARE We thought for a while there Grammy win-ner Jennifer Holliday left would trounce Jessica The petite Pinay held her ground photo ofwnowcom

Itrsquos time to bring out not the bub-bly but the sour grapes There there We all knew how it would turn out

Consider the glaring fact that for the past four years all the winners of ldquoAmerican Idolrdquo were what have come to be known as WGWGs

White Guys With GuitarsStill we good-naturedly rolled

our eyes as Filipino-Americans held text-voting parties in the United

States We tolerated our Manila-based kababayansrsquo attempts to make a difference by voting via Facebook magicJack netTALK and Vonage hellip

In the end Jessica Sanchez the first American of Filipino-Mexican heritage to make it to the top two seemed to have as big a chance to win as Clay Aiken did in ldquoThe Ap-prenticerdquo (Actually this could be an issue of fate Aiken who lost in the latest season of ldquoThe Apprenticerdquo to Arsenio Hall had lost to Ruben Studdard in the second season of ldquoIdolrdquo)

Reality stings in US reality shows it seems

But are race and gender crucial factors in ldquoIdolrdquo as well Although America already has an African-American president it looks like itrsquos not ready for a brown-skinned Idol

Knew it

LEA Salonga ldquoAmerica wasnrsquot ready for a gay Idol eitherrdquo

ldquoI knew that would happenrdquo said Lea Salonga Filipino Broadway and West End star ldquoAmerica wasnrsquot ready for a gay Idol eitherrdquo

Four seasons back standout Adam Lambert couldrsquove been the first openly gay Idol but lost the crown to the much less stellar Kris Allen

The last male person of color to win this competition was Ruben Studdard in Season 2 the last female (of whatever color) was Jordin Sparks in Season 6

Since the duel of the two Davids (Cook and Archuleta) in Season 7 viewers have been treated to a parade of WGWG winners

Many blame the showrsquos fan base ndash mainly housewives and teenybop-pers If there isnrsquot the required tes-tosterone level in your genetic make-

up this powerful bloc will never ever vote for you Sorry Adam

JON Santos ldquoI was all set to do a Jessica Santosrdquo

Dwindling audienceIt doesnrsquot help that the audience

of the reality show once a cultural touchstone is dwindling According to initial online reports the rating for this seasonrsquos finale was 32 percent lower than last yearrsquos figure Still the finale posted the highest number of votes at 1323 million ndashindicating that the showrsquos core followers re-main as loyal and passionate as ever

Vote for the Worst (VFTW) an anti-Idol website that encour-ages netizens to vote for the worst contestant every year could claim victory because Phillips was its pick for Season 11 On the eve of the

lsquoAmerican Idolrsquo postmortem Time to bring out the sour grapes

BY YUANNE GUEVARRA RAPPLERcom | MANILA Philip-pines 3092012 - Long before President Noynoy Aquino started dating 100 Korean darling Grace Lee the ordinary Pinoy already loved anything Korean

From their stylish haircuts to sometimes extraordinary taste in fashion catchy music and end-less drama Koreans have earned their rightful place in the hearts of Filipinos

And why not For a nation that loves beautiful endings fairytale-like stories Korean stories were easy to digest and identify with

For a country dubbed as one of the happiest in the world the always groovy Korean music got teenag-ers and Pinoy young adults alike to dance to their music

Maybe even if in any event PNoy gets tired of Grace Lee the Korean music and arts industry have nothing to lose and no reason to fear The fanbase has been established--and likely to go on

Koreanovela crazeWho would forget the beautiful

story of ldquoLovers in Parisrdquo whose most memorable line ldquoAjardquo cap-tured the hearts of many Pinoys It was such a beautiful love story that local television even made its own version

Of course there were also the sto-ries of ldquoWinter Sonatardquo and ldquoEndless Loverdquo that made televiewers cry and feel the pain of losing a loved one

Who could forget the bubbly yet inspiring story of Kim Sam Soon a broken-hearted woman who eventu-ally finds the love of her life in an unusual circumstance Who would forget the 3 Bears song that Song Hye-Gyo sang to please the parents of Rainrsquos character in the ldquoFull Houserdquo series

The list could go on and onWhy do Pinoys love Korean

drama Despite the language barrier itrsquos because the stories of Koreans are the same as any Filipino story

We see ourselves in their simple story plots We are suckers for love and romance hence we are easily attracted to their love stories

The fast development of the plots is also a breather from the usually

long and heavy stories that locally-produced dramas offer Not to men-tion the unforgettable mushy dia-logues that never fail to make everyone believe in love and happily-ever-afters again

The rise of the KPop genre

They always say that music knows no boundaries and that it binds every-one regardless of race and age This must be true in the case of the KPop genre because even though most

of the songs are in Korean fans all over the world are still going gaga

about itThe catchy and appealing beats

of the songs will surely make you move and groove to the music The tune and dance moves are also one of the reasons why KPop songs have easy recall In the Philip-pines songs like Fire

and I Donrsquot Care by 2NE1 Nobody

Why Pinoys lt3 anything K

The Philippines has a presidential republican system of government It has three arms or branches namely the Legislative which makes the laws the Executive which executes or implements them and the Judi-ciary which interprets them

The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court as the head of the Judiciary is therefore the chief interpreter of all laws He also has supervisory pow-ers over all lower court judges and justices of appellate courts who are also called upon to interpret the laws of the land

Common to the Supreme Court Justices and their subordinates is their oath and affirmation ldquoto uphold and defend the Constitution and to obey the laws legal orders and decreeshelliprdquo among others

He reached his current position as a credentialed public official

But his appointment as Chief Justice was and still is considered by many as ldquomidnightrdquo and therefore irregular

Among others he has been ac-cused and actually impeached by the House of Representatives of Cul-pable Violation of the Constitution and of Betrayal of Public Trust

The Senate which has the sole and exclusive power to try and decide impeachment cases has been patiently hearing for 42 days both Prosecution and Defense lawyers as they presented their sides

My view is that the Prosecution succeeded in proving a Prima Facie Case at least on Article 2 of the Articles of Impeachment which is Culpable Violation of the Constitu-tion and Betrayal of Public Trust Former Chief Justice Art Panganiban and many others are of the same opinion

The Defense in calling Ombuds-man Carpio Morales as its witness made a colossal mistake because contrary to their lawyersrsquo expecta-tions she testified on the Anti-Money Laundering Council Report indicating that CJ Corona has $12-M in his dollar accounts and P282-M in his peso accounts She further testi-fied on the 82 ldquocoveredrdquo (P500000 or more) and ldquosuspiciousrdquo (less than P500000 but suspicious) transac-tions

Calling on CJ Corona as a witness for his own defense was not help-ful either In fact he made it worse Not only did he fail to disprove the existence of $12-M deposits by pre-senting bank documents he actually admitted the following

That he has at least $24-M in his bank accounts

That he has about P80-M in his bank accounts

That he did not declare them in his SALNs and

That there are inaccuracies and discrepancies in his SALNs

His reason for not declaring his $24-M dollar deposits is that according to RA 6426 (Foreign Currency Deposit Secrecy Act) they are ldquoabsolutely confidentialrdquo and must not therefore be declared He further claims that there seems to be a conflict between the SALN law and the FCDS law

His reason for not declaring his P80-M deposits is that they were not his because they were supposedly commingled with funds owned by others

He also says that the inaccuracies and discrepancies in his SALNs were mistakes committed in good faith by virtue of his not being an accountant and could only be con-sidered ldquoperjuryrdquo which is not an

impeachable offense

SALN Law vs FCDS Law

Article XI Section 17 of the Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines expressly mandates ldquoA public officer or employee shall upon assumption of office and as often thereafter as may be required by law submit a declaration under oath of his assets liabilities and net worth In the case of the President the Vice-President the Members of the Cabinet the Congress the Supreme Court the Constitutional Commissions and other constitution-al offices and officers of the armed forces with general or flag rank the declaration shall be disclosed to the public in the manner provided by lawrdquo

Section 8 of Republic Act 6713 provides the manner of declaration and the date and frequency of filing

It is my opinion that the inter-pretation of CJ Corona is faulty on several counts

The law is clear and unequivo-cal He as a public as well as an impeachable official must ldquosubmit under oath a declaration of his as-sets liabilities and networkrdquo There is no other alternative but to apply the law

When the law speaks in clear and categorical language there is no oc-casion for interpretation

Where a requirement is made explicit and unambiguous terms no discretion is left to the judiciary It must see to it that the mandate is obeyed There is nothing ambiguous about ldquoassetsrdquo Section 8 of RA 6713 enumerates them and it specifi-cally includes ldquoinvestments cash on hand or in banks stocks bonds and the likerdquo CJ Coronarsquos dollar depos-its should have been declared

When the law does not distinguish courts should not distinguish Cj Corona should not distinguish either When the law says declare all AS-SETS it includes all bank deposits It does not distinguish between peso and foreign currency deposits

When the law does not make exceptions CJ Corona should not make exceptions If the framers of the Constitution which was adopted in 1987 wanted foreign currency deposits to be excluded in the decla-ration they would have specifically stated it

It is time-honored that the Con-

CJ Corona as an Interpreter of Law

stitution is the Supreme Law of the land It is the law of all laws If there is a conflict between a statute and the Constitution the statute shall yield to the Constitution

The SALN mandate is in the Constitution to promote transpar-ency and accountability It is there in order to minimize if not totally eradicate graft and corruption Dec-laration under oath means openness no concealment NO SECRETS In construing this provision in the Constitution we should bear in mind the object (transparency) sought to be accomplished by its adoption and the evils (graft amp corruption) sought to be prevented or remedied

Cj Corona should have known that the fundamental principle of consti-tutional construction is to give effect to the intent of the framers of the organic law and of the people adopt-ing it SECRECY is the opposite of TRANSPARENCY Providing a escape route for public officials to hide ill-gotten wealth such as what CJ Corona did is diametrically op-posed to the intent and spirit of the SALN law

CJ Corona argues that he did not declare his dollar deposits because they were ldquoabsolutely confidentialrdquo as provided for under Republic Act 6426 Not really First the banks are mandated to reveal ldquocoveredrdquo (P500K) and ldquosuspiciousrdquo (less than P500K) transactions under the Anti-Money Laundering Law Second the depositor can waive the confidential-ity it being his right Third he can declare his deposits it being his duty such as including them as income in his tax returns as the case maybe Fourth it can be garnished to satisfy the depositorrsquos judgment obligations to prevent injustice and for equitable grounds as decided in (Salvacion vs Central Bank of the Philippines GR 94723 August 21 1997) by the Supreme Court led by Justices who eventually became Chief Justices namely Narvasa Davide Puno and Panganiban

Cj Corona also says that the P80-M deposits under his name were not declared because the funds are commingled with other funds owned by others Under bank rules there is a presumption that the deposit ac-count is owned by the person named in the account who correspondingly exercises ownership rights such as withdrawals transfers closure signatory etc

CJ Corona should have declared these commingled peso deposits in his assets as cash in bank and declared as liabilities the funds belonging to others Even banks declare in their financial statements their customersrsquo bank balances as liabilities

We must remember though Om-budsman claimed in her testimony that based on the AMLC report CJ Corona has P282-M

CJ Corona admits to having inac-curacies and discrepancies in his SALNs For these he could only be charged for committing perjury which is not a high crime hence- not impeachable He also attributes his mistakes to not being an accountant

Based on the evidence presented and my own analysis CJ Corona willfully made false statements un-der oath in his SALNs 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 and 2010

Winston Churchill using more diplomatic language would say ldquoCJ Corona is guilty of a deliberate attempt to commit a terminological inexactituderdquo

In a blunt and undiplomatic term Ombudsman Carpio Morales said what Churchill really meant ldquoCJ Corona is a certified LIARrdquo

The inaccuracies and discrepan-cies were not mere mistakes made by a non-accountant lawyer They were committed expecting not to be discovered by virtue of the cover provided by the Supreme Court and the Foreign Currency Deposit Secrecy law

CJ Corona knew what he was do-ing He took up Legal Accounting in Law He took up Management Accounting in MBA He learned reading and analyzing Financial Statements in LLM in Develop-ment Bank of the Philippines and in SGV worldwide known Accounting and Management Consulting firm

Feigning good faith mistake is no defense Besides RA 6713 is a special law that is considered Mala-Prohibita This means CJ should declare under oath ALL his ASSETS LIABILITIES and NET WORTH accurately If he did not do it he is GUILTY

CJ Corona violated his oath of of-fice He committed offenses against public interest by making false state-ments in a narration of facts such as the SALN He failed to uphold and defend the Constitution He is guilty

of Betrayal of Public TrustThe Constitution did not mean for

Betrayal of Public Trust to be in the same class as ldquoother high crimesrdquo This is because it was not included among the words (treason bribery graft and corruption) preceding ldquoother high crimesrdquo It was included instead as an alternative (OR) to the other class Thatrsquos why it does not have to be a crime much less seri-ous or high

WASHINGTON ndash Yesterday the House of Representatives by a vote of 220 to 205 passed a bill that effectively eradicates many protections in the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) for immigrant women survivors of domestic vio-lence The Asian American Center for Advancing Justice (Advancing Justice)mdashAsian American Institute (AAI) Asian American Justice Center (AAJC) Asian Law Caucus (ALC) and Asian Pacific American Legal Center (APALC)mdashstrongly condemns this result which could jeopardize the lives of immigrant women their children and other survivors of domestic violence

ldquoFor nearly two decades VAWA has been important in protecting all survivors of domestic violence re-gardless of immigration statusrdquo said Mee Moua president and executive director of AAJC ldquoWe are extremely disappointed that so many represen-tatives voted for a bill that places hundreds of women and children at riskrdquo

Enacted in 1994 and reauthorized in 2000 and 2005 VAWA has a long history of uniting lawmakers with the common purpose of protect-ing survivors of domestic violence sexual assault and stalking VAWA recognizes that the noncitizen status of battered immigrants can make them particularly vulnerable Abus-ers exploit their victimsrsquo undocu-mented status leaving the victim afraid to report the abuse to law enforcement and making them fear-ful of assisting with the prosecution of these crimes

HR 4970 effectively rolls back many of the protections that have been available to immigrant vic-tims of violence and creates ad-ditional hurdles for victims to obtain VAWArsquos protections Earlier this year the Senate passed a bill reauthorizing VAWA and leaving its protections in place Congress will

now have to reconcile the House and Senate VAWA bills

ldquoThe Asian American and Pacific Islander com-munities

which include more than 5 million immigrant women support a robust VAWA that protects all womenrdquo said Stewart Kwoh president and executive director of APALC ldquoWe cannot go backward on this important issuerdquo

Advancing Justice applauds those membersmdashincluding 22 Republi-cansmdashwho stood up for immigrant women by voting against HR 4970 As Congress moves forward with the reconciliation process we strongly urge Congress to reach a resolution that keeps VAWA as strong as pos-sible for all women

Perspectives

Take a look at your hands what do you see

On a quiet Tuesday evening last year I was sitting with my father in his room at San Diego Hospice He hadnrsquot spoken in a day or so and I was watching his face and hearing him breathe and just being there As I sat there I saw his hands Hands I have seen my entire life This time they were older this time they had more wrinkles this time they were paler This time they were little more than skin and bones - not the strong

muscular hands I had known But they also showed the travels and travails of a lifetime

His hands showed hard work on the salty slippery decks of Merchant Marine ships during World War II His hands worked on those ships as an able-bodied seaman during war years when they sailed the Pacifi c with light-out in the black of night evading submarines and taking food and medicine to troops and civil-ians in the Pacifi c Islands Northern Europe and beyond

More than that however his hands showed a life time of work decades of golf years gripping a wheel and bandaging up kids knees His hands showed a lifetime of living

Thatrsquos whatrsquos so great about our hands Facelifts can remove wrin-kles Contacts and eye surgeries can improve sight and let you toss glasses aside Peels and sanding and reductions and lifts can change so many things about us but our hands well our hands tell the truth Our hands tell about every diaper wersquove changed every tear wersquove

wiped every car battery wersquove charged every meal wersquove cooked and every nail wersquove pounded

A life written in our palms

In our hands we can see every other hand wersquove held every animal wersquove petted every snow-ball wersquove made every coconut wersquove opened and every ice cream cone wersquove hung onto Look at your hands Hold them up What do you see Whose life do you see I look at my hands and see them holding on to a water ski rope I see them in gloves holding ski poles I see them holding my daughter Paige for the fi rst time - just a few minutes

Hands

old I see them wrestling with pea-nut butter jars trying to turn screw drivers and gripping pliers squeez-ing for that last ounce of pressure

I see them arm-wrestling with my son helping him build models bicycles and so much more I see them calming him after he broke an arm at school

I see them wiping my sisterrsquos brow as she lay dying I see them wiping my fatherrsquos brow as he lay dying I see 12 year old versions of them holding a shovel and helping my father bury a pet somewhere in the

Sonoran desert of Mexico I see them trace the ear of a high

school girlfriend I see them putting a wedding ring on Michelle I see them bandage kidrsquos scrapes clip dogrsquos and kidrsquos toe nails I see these big old hands ever so slightly grasp

the brush of clear or pink or pale pink or clearly pale pink fi nger nail

polish and polish the tiny nails of a six year old daughter (something Irsquove gotten pretty good at by the way)

So take a minute or two and look at your hands What do you see These are the hands of our lifetimes These are the hands of many places

many stories many individuals many joys many tears Theyrsquore my hands and your hands my story and your story Look at your hands and remember one of the majestic one of the funny one of the sad one of the heartbreaking one of the humor-ous stories of your handsand your life

These are the stories of us - written in our hands Ebony Jaroch wrote a poem about hands

Hold my Hand

Hold my hand through it allIrsquoll lend you a shoulder to cry onAnd a hand to help you upDonrsquot worry I wonrsquot let you fallIf you trip Irsquoll catch youIrsquoll listen to your problemsAs you blabber on and onTrust me Irsquoll keep your secretsAnd I wonrsquot tell anyone yoursquore

truly scaredI wonrsquot mind if you tell me the truth

or a lieTo everyone elseBut to yourself you must be true

Gossip ruins everyoneDonrsquot let the disease catch youYou know what they say isnrsquot trueJust be freeIf you need me to be thereIrsquoll try I keep my promisesAnd I know I can count on youDonrsquot worry too muchStress isnrsquot good for youBe as care free as you want to beYoursquore still young but rememberIf you need me Irsquoll be there

Hold my hand through it allIrsquoll lend you a shoulder to cry onAnd a hand to help youDonrsquot worry I wonrsquot let you fallIf you trip Irsquoll catch youHold my hand and I will guide youIrsquoll show you the lightIrsquoll show you whatrsquos rightJust hold my hand through it all

The next time you hold some-onersquos hand the next time you caress someonersquos fi ngers the next time you shake a hand in greeting or goodbye remember the life that hand has lived

IMMIGRATION 911 by Atty Susan V Perez

Historically the Department of State (DOS) consular offi ces have process Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative (I-130) fi led outside the United States where USCIS does not have an offi ce

The rules generally requires that a petitioner who resides outside the United States should fi le the I-130 by mail with a USCIS domestic lockbox The petitioner is allowed to fi le the I-130 with an international USCIS offi ce if the petitioner lives in a country where USCIS has an in-ternational fi eld offi ce and prefers to fi le with that offi ce Filing the I-130 with DOS at an Embassy or Consul-ate is permitted only in exceptional circumstances DOS is amending the Foreign Affairs Manual (FAM) to prove that a petitionerrsquos resi-dency within the consular district is no longer a consideration when determining whether a Form I-130 can be processed with the Consular Section If the consular offi cer in an embassy or consulate where USCIS is NOT present encounters an indi-vidual case that the offi cer believes requires immediate processing due to exceptional circumstances the consular offi cer should contact the USCIS Field Offi ce Director (FOD) with jurisdiction over the location to determine whether DOS may accept and adjudicate the case IF the USCIS FOD authorizes DOS to adjudicate a case the consular of-fi cer may only adjudicate a case that is clearly approvable If the case is not clearly approvable DOS must forward the case to USCIS The following are some examples of ex-ceptional circumstances laid out by USCIS when it will likely authorize DOS to accept and process an I-130 petition

Military emergencies A US ser-vice member abroad becomes aware of a new deployment or transfer with a very little notice This excep-tion applies in cases where the US member is provided with exception-

ally less notice than would normally be expected by most service mem-bers in his or her position

Medical emergencies A petitioner or benefi ciary is facing an urgent medical emergency that requires immediate travel This includes the situation where a petitioner or benefi ciary is pregnant and delaying travel may create a medical risk or extreme hardship for the mother or child

Threat to personal safety A petitioner or benefi ciary is facing an imminent threat to personal safety

Close to aging out A benefi ciary is within a few months of aging out of eligibility

Petitioner has recently naturalized A petitioner and family member(s) have traveled for the immigrant visa interview but the petitioner has nat-uralized and the family member(s) requires a new stand-alone petition

Adoption of a child A petitioner who has adopted a child locally and has an imminent need to depart the country This exception should only be considered if the child has been in the petitionerrsquos legal and physical custody for at least two years and the petitioner has a full and fi nal adop-tion decree on behalf of the child

Short notice of position relocation A US citizen petitioner living and working abroad who receives a job relocation within the same company or subsidiary to the United States or an offer of a new job in the United States with very little notice

The foregoing list is not exhaus-tive FODs have discretion to authorize DOS to adjudicate an I-130 when there are compelling humanitarian reasons to do so If the USCIS denies a DOS request to process Form I-130 the petitioner does not have the right to appeal or request reconsideration of the denial

We welcome your feedback If you have any immigration questions please feel welcome to email me at susanlaw-usimmigrationcom or call 619 819 -8648 to arrange for a telephone consultation

Whatrsquos a fl ag A Flag is mostly made from a piece of cloth usually with a pattern or a device generally oblong or square in shape sometimes triangles of various sizes and colors attached to a pole or staff and used to denote national-ity party or ownership to mark a position or to exchange informa-tion Flags have several uses be in war games sports parade toys religious processions carnivals and fi estas including some government functions and political undertakings

In the United States of America The American Flag plays a signifi cant role specially in the month of May to represent Armed Forces Day on May 19 and the Memorial Day on May 28 annually More so the American Flag plays its biggest role representing the United States of America where the Us government is designating June 14 as the US Flag Day All country has its own Flag Day

In the Philippines our National Flag Day is celebrated on the 28th day of May annually to commemorate the date when the Philippine Flag was fi rst unfurled after the Philippine Revolutionary Army defeated the Spanish forces in the historic battle of Alapan in 1898

The celebration starts on May 28 until June 12 the Philippine Indepen-dence Day Filipinos were encouraged to display the Philippine Flag in all offi ces agencies and instruments of government business establishments

schools and private homes throughout this period provided that they abide by the law governing its proper use and display as mandate d by the government

The National Flag of the Phil-ippines is a two-colored hori-zontal fl ag with equal bands of blue (on top)

and red A white equilateral triangle is based at the hoist side and in the cen-ter is a golden yellow sun with eight primary rays each containing three individual rays and at each corner of the triangle is a fi ve-pointed golden yellow star The fl ag is displayed with the blue fi eld on top in times of peace and with the red fi eld on top in times of war

The Flagrsquos length is twice its width which has a ratio of 12 The sides of the white triangle are equal to the width of the fl ag Each star is oriented such that it points towards the tip of the vertex at which it is located The Philippine Flag is unique in the sense that it can also indicate an observerrsquos left where the fl ag is displayed vertically with the white equilateral triangle at the top end

According to offi cial sources the white triangle stand for equality and fraternity the blue fi eld for peace truth and justice and the red fi eld for patriotism and valor The right primary rays of the sun represents the fi rst eigth provinces ( Batangas Bu-lacan Cavite Laguna Manila Nueva Ecija Pampanga and Tarlac) that

The Great Importance of A Flagsought independence from Spain and were placed under martial law by the Spaniards at the start of the Philippine Revolution in 1896 The three stars represent the three major geographi-cal divisions of the country Luzon Visayas and Mindanao

However the symbolism given in 1898 proclamation of Philippine Independence differs from the current offi cial explanation It says that the white triangles signifi es the emblem of the Katipunan The secret society that opposed Spanish rule It says the fl agrsquos color commemorate the fl ag of the United States as a manifestationof

ing World War II but before this Manila was one of the most beauti-ful cities in the world having been compared with London Paris and other European cities

Manila was the capital of the Spanish East Indies for 3 centuries and Intramuros the ruins of the original city founded by the Span-iards in 1571 still stands today de-spite bombings during WWII This modern capital city is considered as the hub of Christianity in Asia and considered as one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world

Therersquos The Rub By Conrado de Quiros Philippine Daily Inquirer | MANILA 5282012 -- Before Miriam Defensor-Santiago inter-rupted him for not really answering her question Renato Corona waxed emotional Santiago had asked him how he saw the impact of his impeachment on the separation of powers as leading a question as you could get

But Corona decided to wring some sympathy from it fi rst by talking about a deeply painful personal ex-perience It was bad enough he said that the name he had taken scrupu-lous care to build over a lifetime had been tarnished probably beyond repair But it was worse that the shadow of shame had fallen over his loved ones and particularly over his grandchildren One of them was es-pecially overwrought for feeling the stigma in school But the kid was not awed he was angry He was angry at the injustice of it all That was what emboldened him the Chief Justice to fi ght back

Before he could go on to wax heroic however Santiago cut him short and redirected his attention to her question which was pretty much a rhetorical one And which Corona answered rhetorically indeed almost robotically going by rote through well-rehearsed lines saying it wrecked the separation of powers by sending a chill down the spine of the justices All because he had taken a stand against Hacienda Luisita And all because he went up against a President who craved complete control over the three branches of government

Of course your heart goes out to the kid In a perfect world the blameless shouldnrsquot have to in-herit the shame of the blameful But you have to ask too who in Godrsquos name has put them through the hell theyrsquore now in in the fi rst place The grandchildren of Ferdinand Marcos are also pitiful in that respect The grandchildren of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo are also pitiful in that re-spect All of them also believe their forebears are innocent All of them are also angry that their forebears have suffered injustice in the hands of those who have punished them All very fi ne except for one thing

Theyrsquore not And they have notThe real hell in fact is not the hell

your grandchildren are currently going through The real hell is the more hellish one your grandchildren will go through when they grow up from all the lessons you have taught them by your words and example No more than that the real hell is the even more hellish one your grandchildren are going to infl ict on others from all the values you have imparted to them in life by your words and example

What kind of things are you teaching your children never mind your grandchildren by accepting a midnight appointment By becom-ing the font of legal wisdom through the most illegal and unwise means By sneaking into your position in the dead of night beyond the gaze of public attention (though it didnrsquot escape the gaze of the newly elected president who complained bitterly about it) the way your patron snuck into her position under cover of darkness By clinging to your posi-tion with a tenacity that rivals your patronrsquos despite the revulsion of your public despite the derision of your peers despite the scorn of your betters That itrsquos all right to crave power seek power cling to power at all costs Including the cost of the wellbeing physical emotional and spiritual of your loved ones

What kinds of things are you teaching the future generations nev-er mind your children and grandchil-dren by insisting as chief justice that itrsquos all right not to declare the bulk of your properties and pay taxes on them Presumably because your dol-lars are protected by confi dentiality and your pesos are adulterated That the point of law is miss the spirit of the law for its letter or since even the letter of the law does not say

PLERcom | MANILA Philippines 512012 - In a cold conference room in a building in Makati city I found hope in the most unusual way I found hope in a sobbing -- no bawling -- 20-year-old Make that several of them On Monday April 30 I was one of the 5 National Capital Region judges at the an-nual search for the Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines (TOSP) with the diffi cult task of choosing 10 out of 21 fi nalists to make the cut (Check the list of winners here) It is a downright crazy challenge and I said yes to the responsibility not exactly knowing what to expect But I did say yes The prestigious 50-year-old competition scans the whole country searching for fresh graduates who exemplify extraordi-nary values academic excellence community service and a commit-ment to nation-building They are put through a meticulous screen-ing process fi rst through their own schools then their regions before qualifying for the nationals The process is thorough and extremely selective The TOSP search taps experts to judge the applicants who have studied the same fi eld as they have before they advance to the regional round -- the round I was invited to judge I said yes -- and it was more than I bargained for More than I bargained for because the fi nalists were much better than I expected them to be More than I bargained for because I did not condition myself for the grueling 9 hour-process the search took More than I bargained for because of the emotional individual stories of the fi nalists fresh out of college teeming with dreams drama and desire Their eyes were wide with passion and idealism Here were young Filipinos who have traveled the globe to represent the nation in various competitions -- embellished with every latin honor possible recipients of prestigious academic scholarships whose shelves at home are lined with certifi cates medals ribbons They are the children of the most common of Filipinos security guards farmers single mothers They are the breadwinners They have worked their way through college have left the islands and the mountains for a better life in Manila And they have prospered as student leaders They have started peace talks between the Muslims of Mindanao and their Christian counterparts in their search for national peace They have analyzed the difference in incomes between high school and college graduates

through economics and research They have taught children from the remotest of areas to read and to write They dream of becom-ing educators to touch the lives of Filipino children so they may grow to make a difference Of politicians and government leaders who will unroot corruption Of being doc-tors and nurses to caress the hurting when they need it most -- and to rebuild them that they in turn may help build the nation And then there were tears Tears of hope

As much as their eyes spilled with ambition they were clouded by tears of reality of the need to sustain their families feed their siblings support their parents fi rst -- above anything above all else before gunning for their individual goals -- because they reasoned how can they be expected to build the nation if their own families are broken themselves I couldnrsquot help but wonder how long they would stay idealistic How long would they continue the community efforts once they are consumed by the corporate world Until they give in to the companies that will discover their energy and their brains Until they are seduced and offered the sky-high salaries their talents are worthy of How long would these 21 pairs of eyes shine bright How real are their promises to do their part in nation-building How many years until they forget the feeling of being on top of the world out of col-lege of being able and willing to do whatever it takes to push the country forward I got the answer in their tears The crying that was triggered by thoughts of family hardships and rejection was not symbolic of the washing away of their dreams Nor was it a guilty admission that they would be lured eventually solely by money I got goosebumps as I watched them cry in front of me and my fellow judges -- executives of important infl uential companies -- and I wanted to cry with them too but laugh my heart out at the same time Cry because my heart broke for their pain but laugh -- laugh heartily cheer celebrate -- because to me the tears of some of our countryrsquos most promising youth did not signal hopelessness It was as I understood it a reason for me to hope It was a sign of emo-tion of empathy of acceptance of reality It was an understanding of the challenges that still lie ahead of them in the way of their goals -- and a symbol of fear The tears were a sign of their being human And what more could a nation ask of their future leaders but heart love and

Tears of the nationrsquos future leaderscompassion The tears were not a weakness but a strength symbolic of their biggest asset their human-ness An intelligent mind armed with the desire to move and to touch others Unique rare talents partnered with utter unselfi shness Success beyond their years but grounded in familial values The crying was recognition that life isnrsquot easy that the road to building the nation isnrsquot easy For the fi nalists the tears have been fl owing ever since the chal-lenges have been around -- them having been born in the thick of it -- but it had not stopped a single one of them from using theater and music to empower the youth from joining political rallies writing infl uential articles saving forests inspiring others and dreamingDreaming big regardless of the obstacles What was the last thing you did for the nation - Rapplercom

San Diego News

Representatives of more than 25 anti-nuclear activist and energy sustain-ability organizations gathered in San Clemente California on Sunday May 27 to discuss strategy and plan actions against nuclear power operations in California and to promote renewable energy sources and energy effi ciency solutions The coalition meeting for the fi fth time since Fukushima is deter-mined to continue the fi ght to stop San Onofre from operating this summer and beyond with the understanding that excess energy already exists in the state to cover our needs

Key among the issues discussed were the problems at the San Onofre nuclear power facility near San Clemente which has been shut down since January 31 because of ongoing problems with the steam generators and safety issues Other San Onofre issues include the facility having the worst safety record in the US being located in an active earthquaketsunami zone lack of safe long term storage for high level nuclear waste and no realistic evacuation plan

A growing network of independent crowd-source radiation monitoring by concerned citizens around the state is being implemented to counteract the ongoing lack of information provided by California utilities about radia-tion levels Gene Stone of Residents Organized for a Safe Environment a San Clemente-area group said Our work together is strengthening our bond and reinforcing our determination to see this issue through to end nuclear power in California once and for all and make this state embrace the 21st Century solu-tions of clean safe renewable energy

The activists who came from loca-tions from San Francisco to San Diego heard from Barbara George of Womens Energy Matters a detailed breakdown on the opportunity for local communities to wrest control of their energy supply from the large utilities Opportunities do exist for local cities to take control of their local energy supply and end the

dominance of the major utilities South-ern California Edison Pacifi c Gas amp Electric and San Diego Gas amp Electric

Future plans by the network include stepping up efforts against San Onofre hosting visitors from Japan traveling throughout California to raise awareness of the ongoing Fukushima nuclear disas-ter and building alliances with national and international environmental groups

The statewide meeting was hosted by Friends of the Earth Residents Orga-nized for a Safe Environment and the Peace Resource Center of San Diego

San Diego groups participating included the Peace Resource Center of San Diego Citizens Oversight Projects (COPS) Women Occupy San Diego Occupy Vista and San Diego Veterans for Peace

The CVBMP is expected to create and sustain thousands of jobs and millions of dollars in investment and revenues for the South Bay region and it will provide a much-needed economic benefi t to the

businesses located on the two existing yacht marinas In the projectsbquoAumlocircs fi rst 20 years the plan should generate ap-proximately $13 billion for the regional

economy including more than $115 million in annual tax revenues It also will create more than 2200 permanent jobs nearly 7000 construction jobs and numer-ous indirect jobs

Approximately 230 acres (more than 40 percent) of the projectrsquos total acreage

is dedicated to parks open space and habitat restorationpreservation with 130 acres identifi ed for new publicly acces-sible parks and open space These areas

will include promenades bike trails and other public access areas linking the entire bayfront A 46-acre sbquoldquoSignature Parkrdquo also is a major element of the plan

of the CVBMP site Additionally during the closed session portion of the Board of Port CommissionersbquoAumlocircs meeting on May 8 the Board directed staff to negoti-ate an amendment to the Marine Group Boat Works LLC (Marine Group) lease provided that the amendment to the lease

June 3 Solemnity of the Most Blessed Trinity

Joke of the Week The fellows in the barbershop were asking the new man a lot of questions One of them bluntly asked ldquoDo you belong to some churchrdquo ldquoSure dordquo replied the new man ldquoI belong to the Holy Rollers but I never go to churchrdquo ldquoWhat do you meanrdquo someone asked ldquoWell every Sunday morning when I wake up I say lsquoHoly Smoke itrsquos Sundayrsquo Then I Roll Over and go back to sleeprdquo

Scriptures First Reading Deuteronomy 4 32-34 39-40 In this passage Moses is telling his people how God reveals himself to them and what their response should be to this revelation First God revealed himself in the act of creation Second in the midst of fi re God gave the Law on Mount Sinai Third God delivered his people from slavery in Egypt After God had manifested his might through signs and wonders the Is-raelites in turn are expected to keep his commandments Second Read-ing Romans 8 14-17 As God had revealed himself in the past through his mighty works he again does so in three different ways First the people received the Spirit of adop-tion Second they become ldquochildren of God hellip joint heirs with Christrdquo Third they can call God ldquoAbba Fa-therrdquo After God had shown again his mighty deeds the people of the New Covenant are likewise expected to be with Christ even in his suffering

Gospel Matthew 28 16-20 Why would God even care to create re-deem and adopt us who have turned away from him in sin God the Fa-

therrsquos plan since the time of creation his plan to redeem us in Christ Jesus his plan to guide us through the Holy Spirit are rooted in his love for us The best way to share with others these mysterious and mighty deeds of God is to recognize and serve Christ in every person

Refl ections Today is Trinity Sunday The Christian faith in the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit is not only a creedal and doctrinal

profession but also a reminder of the mystery that Christ reveals to us We ex-perience this mystery through the saving presence of Christ

Jesus that gives thanks to the Father through the power

of the Holy Spirit Mystery is also understood in its incomprehen-sibility In saying that the Trinity is a mystery we are admitting that no human language can ever fully express its reality and no matter what it always remains beyond all knowledge This divine mystery is the ultimate answer to manrsquos ques-tions about the ground of his being or his quest for meaning Though incomprehensible and beyond the limits of human language and knowledge yet it is possible to expe-rience and encounter the Triune God who reveals himself to us Mystery in the Christian sense is closely con-nected with the hidden plan of God that is revealed according to his own will It is an open secret Christians believe that Godrsquos plan for mankind has been revealed in Jesus Christ who reveals God to man and reveals man to himself Therefore in sharp

The Trinitarian Love and the Da Vinci Code (Revisited)

contrast with the esoteric and secret pagan mysteries the Christian mys-tery is open to all

Centuries ago Richard of St Victor wrote ldquoWhen two love each other mutually and give to each other the affection of supreme long-ing when the affection of the fi rst goes out to the second and the af-fection of the second goes out to the fi rst and tends as it were in diverse ways-- in this case there certainly is love (dilectio) on both sides but it is not shared love (condilectio) Shared love (condilectio) is properly said to exist when a third person is loved by two persons harmoniously and in community and the affection of the two persons is fused into one affection by the fl ame of love for a third From these things it is evident that shared love (condilectio) would have no place in Di-vinity itself if a third person were lacking to the other two persons However no one is prop-erly said to have charity on the basis of his own private love for himself And so it is necessary for love to be directed toward another for it to be charityrdquo Creation was made possible because primarily God LOVES us Itrsquos our duty to love him and others in return for the diffusive love of the Trinity

On the Da Vinci Code to understand the myths and erroneous elements of the Da Vinci Code we must fi rst understand the mystery cult that is called ldquoGnosticismrdquo Gnosticism from the Greek word ldquognosisrdquo for ldquoknowledgerdquo claims that salvation is based on secret knowledge given only to the chosen elect by a heavenly messenger Some scholars contend that Gnosti-cism has its Eastern origin in the religions of India Not only fabrics and gems but also sacred writings were traded between India and the Mediterranean world It is believed

that there are some similarities between Gnosticism and Buddhism For example for the Gnostics the world is a defi ciency for the Bud-dhists it is an illusion Later on Gnosticismrsquos early contact with Judaism and Alexandrian thoughts resulted into its formation of esoteric ideas such as those mentioned in its Apocryphal Gospels and Acts and Apocalypses Gnosticism has one deep root-principle its philosophical and religious pessimism

Gnosticism believes that the unknowable and good God has noth-ing to do with the material universe that is evil Though this good God is undetectable by human senses yet He created Aeons a series of lesser divinities or intermediary beings

One of these is Sophia the goddess of wisdom who gave birth to an inferior god the Demiurge the evil creator-god of the Old Testament a negative aeon who later came to be called an archon creator and ruler of this world Gnostics see Sophia as one of the quasi-deities who live

in the ethereal realm known as the pleroma With its emphasis on the goddess Sophia the Da Vinci Code tries to further the myth of ldquosacred femininerdquo or ldquodivine goddessrdquo by deceptively insinuating that Mary Magdalene held the key to manrsquos spiritual destiny Is Mary Magdalene a representative of the sacred femi-nine The Da Vinci Code claims ldquothe Prioryrsquos (Sion) tradition of per-petuating goddess worship is based on a belief that powerful men in the early Christian church ldquoconnedrdquo the world by propagating lies that deval-ued the female principle and tipped the scales in favor of the masculinerdquo (p 124) hierarchy Is it true that Mary Magdalene could have been the ldquofi rst poperdquo if she had survived the opposition against her by power-ful men of her time Is this claim true or false Find out the answers in my next column

Daily MeditationJesus Is MercifulMonday May 28 2012 Jesus the Blessed Child of God is

merciful Showing mercy is differ-ent from having pity Pity connotes distance even looking down upon When a beggar asks for money and you give him something out of pity you are not showing mercy Mercy comes from a compassionate heart it comes from a desire to be an equal Jesus didnrsquot want to look down on us He wanted to become one of us and feel deeply with us

When Jesus called the only son of the widow of Nain to life he did so because he felt the deep sorrow of the grieving mother in his own heart (see Luke 711-17) Let us look at Jesus when we want to know how to show mercy to our brothers and sisters

May talent pala sa pag-awit ang naturang hunk at kung paano niya kukunin ang atensyon ng mga manonood pati mga seniors pinagk-aguluhan din siya

Napakaganda pala ni Rhian Ramos parang si Kc Concepcion o Lovie Poe ang beauty niyaPalagay namin malayo pa ang mararating niya sa showbizlalo parsquot kaa-aten lang pala niya ng isang red carpet ceremonySabi pa nga niya mas magulo raw ang red carpet ceremony rito sa amerika compare sa Pilipinas

By Lawrence Agcaoli (The Philip-pine Star) | MANILA Philippines 5272012 - New York-based think-tank Global Source Partners sees the peso strengthening against the dollar this year and next year on the back of the countryrsquos strong macroeco-nomic fundamentals

Global Source said the peso is expected to appreciate at 42 to $1 this year and at 41 to $1 next yearThe think-tank also cited the robust remittances from overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) as well as strong earnings by the business process outsourcing (BPO) sector as major boost to the local currency

ldquoThough there may be volatility due to negative external develop-ments fundamentals continue to support this view especially with likely improvement in growth expectations a pause to further nar-rowing of the interest rate differen-

Peso seen appreciating at 42 $1 this yeartial still healthy external payments position healthy on account of resilient remittances and strong BPO activity and consequently still high dollar liquidityrdquo it added

The peso almost touched the 44 to $1 level last Friday after hitting an intra-day low of 4395 to $1 It closed at 43755 to $1 or 55 centa-vos weaker than Thursdayrsquos 4374 to $1

The peso continued to weaken against the greenback due to concerns over a possible Greek exit from the euro zone and weak manufacturing data from China and Germany

The think-tank believes that the countryrsquos external payments position particularly the balance of pay-ments (BOP) position would remain healthy this year on the back of strong capital infl ows

ldquoOn the whole with a likely bigger

current account surplus and a posi-tive capital and fi nancial account the BOP should remain healthy this yearrdquo Global Source said

It pointed out that BPO service exports would continue to grow ro-bustly even under threat of a global downturn and of a clampdown in advanced economies particularly in the US that accounts for bulk or at least 80 percent of the client base

It added that concerns about the sovereign debt crisis in Europe have lately resurfaced expectedly fueling global risk aversion

ldquoThere has been some volatility of the fi nancial account so far this year After a rather long string of sur-pluses the country saw net outfl ows of registered portfolio investment last February reportedly on account of profi t-taking on equities and large outfl ows from peso government bonds due to a fall in yieldsrdquo it said

Com men tary tary Miriam Santi-ago Impeach-

mentrsquos Lady GAGA

by Benjamin Maynigo

I watched the voting by the Sena-tors acting as an Impeachment Court LIVE via video streaming with ex-citement but very confi dent of what the verdict was going to be

In fact I predicted the outcome so much so that while online on Fa-cebook and watching the impeach-ment proceedings at the same time I posted ldquoAt 425 pm Philippine time I now project a GUILTY ver-dict against CJ CORONA I am now assured that at least 16 would vote GUILTYrdquo

Facebook friend EQUALIZER POST who was obviously online asked who would be the other Senators voting guilty What about Revilla and Villar

I responded immediately say-ing ldquoFor sure Enrile Sotto Recto and Trillanes will vote GUILTY I suspect Villar and Revilla might also vote guiltyrdquo

Of course all the Senators I men-tioned voted GUILTY as I predicted and history was written

Caught by the euphoria I no longer cared about the 3 Senators who considered CJ Corona NOT GUILTY

Then I watched Senator Miriam Santiago again Not only did she insult legal luminaries in the House (Raul Daza for example) and in the Senate (Enrile AngaraDrilon etc) but also successful private law practioners and Bar topnotchers who disagreed with her interpretation of the Constitution and pertinent laws

The truth is as a lawyer and an in-terested observer I also felt insulted by the way he castigated all of us who disagreed with her by describ-ing our views as ldquokaGAGOhanrdquo or foolishness

Let us analyze1 Future Ex-Senator Miriam San-

tiago claims that we should apply the general rule of statutory con-struction called ldquoejusdem generesrdquo meaning ldquowhere general words

follow an enumeration of persons or things by words of a particular and specifi c meaning such general words are not to be construed in their widest extent but are to be held

as applying only to persons or things of the same general kind or class as those specifi cally mentionedrdquo

She then quoted the provisions of the Constitution ldquothe President the Vice President the Members of the Supreme Court the Members of the

Constitutional Commissions and the Ombudsman may be removed from offi ce on impeachment for and con-viction of culpable violation of the Constitution treason bribery graft

and corruption other high crimes or betrayal of public trustrdquo

Applying the ejusdem generes rule that she is proudly invoking actually shows that ldquobetrayal of trustrdquo is not of the same general kind or class as ldquohigh crimesrdquo as ldquotreason bribery and graft corruptionrdquo because it was not specifi cally enumerated follow-ing ldquoother high crimesrdquo Otherwise ldquobetrayal of public trustrdquo should have been included in the enu-meration BEFORE and not AFTER ldquoother high crimesrdquo

Furthermore it is also fundamental in statutory construction that when the word ldquoORrdquo is used it is meant as a disjunctive particle and to express as alternative or to give a choice of one among two or more things

2 Future Ex-Senator Santiago also proudly referred to American au-thors such as Charles Black of Yale University regarding impeachment views and opinions

If she really read and studied US impeachment history she must have found out that more than 200 years after the adoption of the Constitu-tion there had been 18 impeachment cases in the United States 3 Presi-dential and 13 Judicial and 2 others

She also must have found out that in defi ning impeachable offenses the Ford Test was enunciated meaning as stated by Majority Floor Leader Gerald Ford ldquoan impeach-able offense is what the majority of the House of Representatives say what an impeachable offense isrdquo

This explains why in impeaching judicial offi cials in the United States many of them were removed from offi ce by ldquobeing habitually drunk showing favoritism on the bench us-ing judicial power unlawfully using the offi ce for fi nancial gain unlaw-fully punishing people for contempt of court submitting false expense accounts getting special deals from parties appearing before the court bullying people in open court fi ling false income tax returns making false statements while under oath and disclosing confi dential informa-tionrdquo

Take note that Corona is a judicial offi cial who had already admitted ldquomaking false statements while un-der oathrdquo In fact he could be guilty

Clash of the Titans Pinoy Representative Manny Pacquiao against Sen-ate Miriam Defensor Santiago on RH ( Reproductive Health) Bill

of the other offenses as wellIn the case of the Presidential

impeachment cases however the offenses were considered more seri-ous to remove the respondent from offi ce

Why Because the sovereign people elect the President and Vice President compared to a judicial offi cer like Justice Corona and it should not be as easy to undo their sovereign will Justices are mere recommendations of the Judicial and Bar Council and appointed by the President

3 Future Ex-Senator also argues that the SALN provision of the Constitution is not self-executing therefore is not superior to the For-eign Currency Deposit Act

Art XI Sec 17 of the 1987 Philip-pine Constitution

ldquoA public offi cer or employee shall upon assumption of offi ce and as often thereafter as may be required by law submit a declaration under oath of his assets liabilities and net worth

ldquoIn the case of the President the Vice-President the Members of the Cabinet the Congress the Supreme Court the Constitutional Com-missions and other constitutional offi ces and offi cers of the armed forces with general or fl ag rank the declaration shall be disclosed to the public in the manner provided by lawrdquo

There are two rules of statutory construction applied here One is the rule that when the word ldquoshallrdquo is used it is meant to be imperative operating to impose a duty which should be enforced The Constitution used the word ldquoshallrdquo in both man-datory sentences Two if Santiago is in doubt she should follow the rule In case of doubt the Constitution should be considered self-executing rather than non-self-executing un-less the contrary is clearly intended

4 Both Future Ex-Senator Corona and Future Ex-CJ Corona claim that the FCDA is the law contemplated by paragraphs 1 and 2 of Art XI Section 17 of the Constitution

This is faulty reasoning One the fi rst paragraph refers to a law that provides the date and frequency of the submission under oath of SALN Does the FCDA provide the schedule of SALN submission Two the second paragraph refers to the MANNER of submission of the SALN Does the FCDA provide that

Most importantly Republic Act 6713 provides for the DATE and FREQUENCY and the MANNER of submission It was enacted in 1989 AFTER the adoption of the Con-stitution in 1987 The FCDA was enacted in 1972 15 years prior to the 1987 Constitution whose SALN provision it is supposed to enable

5 Future Ex-CJ Corona claims that there seems to be a confl ict be-tween the SALN law and the FCDA Future Ex-Senator Santiago agrees with him

Another rule of statutory construc-tion applies SUPREMA LEX

It is time-honored that the Con-stitution is the Supreme Law of the land It is the law of all laws Hence if there is confl ict between a stat-ute and the Constitution the statute shall yield to the Constitution

Kahapon po naging saksi tayo sa isang napakagandang patunay na umiiral ang ganap na demokrasya sa atin pong bansa Dalawampung senador ang bumoto upang matang-gal bilang Punong Mahistrado ng Korte Suprema si Ginoong Renato C Corona

Mulat tayo sa kung saan nag-ugat ang lahat nang ito Sa matagal na panahon namayani ang agam-agam na ang piring ng Hustisya ay nakatanggal para sa mayayaman at makapangyarihan Di po ba nakita nating may basehan ang agam-agam na ito Di lang po dito sa atin pati na ang World Bank -- isang dayuhang institusyon -- ay nagkuwestyon dahil miski ang aid na galing sa kanila para iayos ang ating Hudikatura ay hindi napunta sa dapat nitong patunguhan

Nangarap po tayong baguhin ito Naghangad tayo ng isang sistemang pangkatarungan na may malinaw at tunay na kahulugan ng tama at mali Naghangad tayong ibalanse ang tim-bangan kung saan ang inosente ay papasok sa hukuman nang panatag ang loob na siyarsquoy mapapawalang-sala at kung ikaw naman ay may-sala maghanda ka na dahil tiyak na mananagot ka

Marapat pong balikan ang kon-teksto ng impeachment ni Ginoong

Corona Alam na po natin ang mala-lim na pinagsamahan nila ni Ginang Arroyo Simula pa lang kinuwestyon na natin ang kanyang midnight ap-pointment dahil sa pananaw na labag ito sa Saligang Batas Sa kabila nito noong nagkita kami ang tanging hiniling ko po sa kanya iparehas sana niya ang laban Ang sagot pa nga niya sa akin huwag daw akong mag-alala dahil lahat ng magig-ing desisyon ay aayon sa batas Sa paglaon po naging malinaw sa atin na imbis na siya mismong dapat nagbibigay-linaw sa batas ang siya pong nagpapalabo nito

Sa EO 1 pa lang hinarang na agad Nakita naman po ninyo ang mga nadiskubre nating kalokohan pag-upo pa lamang sa puwesto hanggang ngayon pinagdudusahan ito ng mga Pilipino Ang iniuutos sa atin lahat ng administrasyon bago po sa atin isali sa imbestigasyon para raw ho parehas Kailan pa po tayo matatapos ng pagsusuri kung ganun at kailan tayo makakakilos Kaya ngarsquot sistematiko ang ninanais nat-ing tugon sa mga problemang ito upang matigil na ang pagkasangka-pan sa mga butas sa batas at iwasan ang paglala ng mga sugat sa sistema Pero pinigilan nila tayo Imbes na makiisa itinali pa ang mga kamay ng mga naghahangad na gumawa ng tama Parang siniguradong hindi na matatapos ang gusto nating ilatag na

repormaPati po sa EO 2 na sanarsquoy umayos

ng situwasyon ukol sa mga midnight appointee nilagyan ng status quo anteorder Pag-aaralan daw nila pero natapos na po ang term ng nagsampa ng kaso tulad ng mga kapwa mid-night appointee wala pong nangyari wala pong pagdidinig na nangyari

Nilunok po natin lahat nang ito dahil hindi natin pakay makipag-away solusyon ang ating hinahanap Ngunit mali nga po sigurong umasa kami ng patas na laban mula kay Ginoong Corona

Hindi nagtagal napatunayan na ang mga agam-agam pagdating kay Ginang Arroyo handa si Ginoong Corona na ikiling ang timbangan ng hustisya Naglabas ng isang Tem-porary Restraining Order (TRO) ang Korte Suprema muntik nang magtagumpay si Ginoong Corona na bigyan ng pagkakataon si Ginang Arroyo na hindi harapin ang mga alegasyon tungkol sa electoral fraud noong 2007 Mantakin po ninyo Mula sa Las Vegas bumalik pa dito sa bansa si Ginoong Corona para lamang pangunahan ang paglalabas ng TRO Pinaaga nang Biyernes ang kadalasan ay Martes na en banc session Walang oral argument hindi nabigyan ng sampung araw ang bawat panig para magpaliwanag Siguro po kung nasunod ito baka natiyak kung totoong maysakit nga

si Ginang Arroyo Nagbigay ng mga kundisyon ang Korte Suprema ngunit kahit hindi ito nasunod ng mga Arroyo ipinatuloy pa rin ni Ginoong Corona ang paghahain ng TRO

Obligasyon po ng Ehekutibo na imbestigahan at sampahan ng kauku-lang kaso si Ginang Arroyo Subalit pinahirap kundi man ginawang imposible ang pagsasampa natin ng kaso bago maubos ang taning ng prescriptive period doon po sa electoral fraud case

Kung natuloy silang umalis ang malamang na ginawa nila ay nagbakasyon lang habang maubos ang prescriptive period ng kasong isinampa sa kanila at babalik sa panahon kung kailan hindi na sila puwedeng sampahan ng kaso Mukhang hanggang nasa puwesto si Ginoong Coronamdashgaano man kalakas ang kaso gaano man katibay ang ebidensyamdashay hindi masasakdal ang kanyang padrino Ito na nga po ang naging huli at sukdulan

Naharap po tayo sa sangandaan hahayaan ba nating manatili ang ganitong sistema kung saan na-dadaan sa palusot ang katarungan at naeengganyo ang mga kawatan na ituloy ang baluktot na pamama-raan lalo na kung may kapit sila sa kapangyarihan

Halos buong bayan po ay sumubaybay sa paglilitis ni Ginoong

Corona at maliwanag na sa atin ang matibay na basehan ng impeach-ment Muli walang personalan sa laban na ito Sariling mga pasya po ni Ginoong Corona ang nag-bubunsod sa paglilitis na ito Siya ang pumiling hindi magdeklara ng katotohanan sa kanyang SALN Siya ang gumamit ng kanyang pamilya para magpalusot sa kanyang salapi at ari-arian Siya mismo ang nagkalad-kad ng pangalan ng kanyang mga mahal sa buhay upang pagtakpan ang sariling mga kasalanan Batid nating lahat si Ginoong Corona ang kumatawan sa maruming bahagi ng ating Hudikatura

Ang pinakamalaking handog ng paglilitis na ito Muli po nating nap-atunayan na posible palang makamit ang pagbabago Posible palang magkaroon ng justice at hindi puro just-tiis ang litanya sa ating bansa Napatunayan nating mangingibabaw ang katotohanan laban sa pagku-kubli mananaig ang tapat laban sa tiwali at magtatagumpay ang tama laban sa mali Higit sa lahat napatu-nayan nating hindi pala ako nag-iisa sa pagpasan ng adhikaing maisaayos ang ating sistema

Nagpapasalamat po tayo sa buong senate impeachment court lalo na po kay Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile kung ang bawat mahistrado po ay sing-talas ninyong mag-isip at gaya ninyo ay walang kinikilingan siguro po ay hindi na natin dinaanan ang kabanatang ito

Sa ating prosecution team sa pangunguna ni Congressman Niel Tupas na hindi natinag sa kabila ng pagmamaliit at paninindak nagpa-pasalamat din ako Kay Congress-man Rudy Farintildeas na nilinaw ang pilit pinalalabo ng depensa Salamat din sa mga private prosecutor na itinaya ang kanilang kabuhayan at nilabanan ang pinakamataas na mahistrado Nagpapasalamat din po ako kay Speaker Sonny Belmonte na minabuting tumindig bilang tinig at pinunong ganap ng institusyong nagpadala ng Articles of Impeach-ment sa Senado salamat din po Pati rin po sa defense panel ni Ginoong Corona nagpapasalamat din ako Sadya man o hindi nakiambag kayo sa paglabas ng katotohanan Nagpapasalamat po ako higit sa lahat sa taumbayan kayo pa rin po ang aming lakas at habang patuloy ninyong ipinamamalas ang suporta sa ating agenda ng mabuting pa-mamahala hindi po tayo mabibigo Gaya ng pagtatanggal ng balakid na nakaharang sa ating tuwid na daan kinailangan natin magtulong-tulong at mag-ambagan upang idiin ang nag-iisa nating mensahe Sino ka man gaano man kataas ang iyong katungkulan kung nagkasala ka sa taumbayan mananagot ka

Ngayong matagumpay nating nab-unot ang isang tinik sa pinakamataas na puwesto ng ating hudikatura tapos na po ba ang laban Kung to-too po ang paratang na pinepersonal natin si Ginoong Corona masasa-bing tapos na nga Pero hindi po natin siya pinepersonal ang hangad natin ay ayusin ang sistema kayarsquot hanggang mayroon pa ring mga nakaambang tanggalin ang piring ng katarungan tuloy pa rin ang laban

Pagtutuonan po natin ng pansin

ang paghahanap ng may integridad may sariling pasya mahusay at tapat na magtitimon sa atin pong hudikatura Mayroon po tayong siyamnapung araw para pag-aralan ito hindi po natin mamadaliin ang pagpili dahil ayaw nating magka-mali at bumalik na naman sa dating situwasyon

Sa mga minamahal ko pong

kababayan muli maraming salamat sa inyong pagtutok at pagsuporta sa ating agenda ng reporma Nakita po natin kung walang katarungang umiiral hindi matatapos ang sigalot Kinailangan nating pagdaanan ang prosesong ito subalit ito ay unang hakbang para matiyak na ang mga naghahari-harian na para bang sila na ang batas ay mananagot din Patas po ang laban ang hangad natin ay puwedeng magkatotoo bastarsquot handa tayong tumaya maninindigan at ipaglaban ang tama

Nakikita po ninyo kung paano tayo

nananatiling tapat sa mandatong kaloob ninyo Pinapatatag po natin ang sistema ipinapakitang tunay na nakapiring ang Hustisya Nag-bubunsad na ito ng isang lipunang kung ano ang ipinunla ay siya ring aanihin Ang mabuti ay magbubunga ng mabuti at ang kasalanan ay tiyak na pananagutan

Muli maraming salamat Mabuhay

ang sambayanang Pilipino Magandang gabi po

Walk-Ins Are Welcome

by Melissa Breyer Care2 Healthy Living

Most of us know about the impor-tance of iron and calcium for our bodies but what about magnesium It is the second most abundant ele-ment in human cells and the fourth most important positively charged ion in the body It helps the body regulate over 325 enzymes and plays an important role in organizing many bodily functions like muscle control electrical impulses energy production and the elimination of harmful toxins

Most of us are defi cient in mag-nesium so Irsquom going to put on my wise-granny hat on here and tell you this soaking in a bath with Epsom salt which is high in magnesium is one of the easiest ways to get a boost

According to the National Acad-emy of Sciences Americanrsquos magne-sium defi ciency helps to account for high rates of heart disease stroke osteoporosis arthritis and joint pain digestive maladies stress-related ill-nesses chronic fatigue and a number of other ailments Who knew

Our magnesium levels have dropped by half in the last century due to changes in agriculture and diet Industrial farming has depleted magnesium from soil and the typi-cal American diet contains much less magnesium than that of our forefathers And in fact the modern American diet with its fat sugar salt and protein actually works to speed up the depletion of magnesium from our bodies

Another factor in decreased mag-nesium levels has been our focus on getting enough calcium Itrsquos a delicate dancendashcalcium depletes magnesium yet calcium functions best when enough magnesium is present Studies indicate that tak-ing a calcium supplement without enough magnesium can increase the shortage of both nutrients Research-ers have found that many Americans have fi ve times as much calcium as magnesium in their bodies although the proper ratio for optimum absorp-tion of both minerals is two to one

With such widespread magnesium defi ciency one might think that magnesium supplements would be called upon but studies show that magnesium is not easily absorbed through the digestive tract The presence of specifi c foods or drugs certain medical conditions and the chemistry of a personrsquos stomach acid can render magnesium supplements ineffective

This brings us to Epsom salt Known scientifi cally as hydrated magnesium sulfate Epsom salt is

rich in both magnesium and sulfate While both magnesium and sulfate can be poorly absorbed through the stomach studies show increased magnesium levels from soaking in a bath enriched with Epsom salt Mag-nesium and sulfate are both easily absorbed through the skin Sulfates play an important role in the forma-tion of brain tissue joint proteins and the proteins that line the walls of the digestive tract They stimulate the pancreas to generate digestive enzymes and are thought to help detoxify the body of medicines and environmental contaminants

Researchers and physicians suggest these health benefi ts from proper magnesium and sulfate lev-els as listed on the web site of the Epsom Salt Industry Council

SAN DIEGO May 17 2012 ndash The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced yesterday that it will lower the level of blood-lead poisoning that requires action in children under the age of fi ve Environmental Health Coalition (EHC) a San Diego-based organiza-tion that fi ghts to improve the health and environment for low-income communities in the San DiegoTi-juana region applauds this move which will empower low-income families to make their housing safe from lead

ldquoLead poisoning is the number one environmental hazard threaten-ing children throughout the United States but itrsquos also one of the most

Environmental Health Coalition Applauds Centers for Disease Control for Acknowledging

There is No Safe Lead LevelNew standards will help low-income families in San Diego receive appropriate services to

make their homes lead-safepreventable hazards if we can eliminate the exposurerdquo said Leticia Ayala Environmental Health Coali-

tionrsquos associate director in charge of the Healthy Kids Campaign ldquoEHC estimates based on 2010 San Diego County data that as many as 1600 children up from 204 could now be defi ned as lead poisonedrdquo

For several years EHC has worked with a network of organiza-tions across the country asking CDC to lower the levels of blood-lead poisoning that it considers safe in children Todayrsquos announcement redefi nes CDCrsquos ldquolevel of concernrdquo unchanged since 1991 from a blood-lead level of 10 micrograms per deciliter to fi ve micrograms per deciliter The CDC based the new value on population blood-lead lev-els to focus action on those children with the highest blood-lead levels This change will increase the num-ber of children requiring follow-up

services from less than 100000 to 450000 nationwide

Research shows that even low levels of lead poisoning can cause hyperactiv-ity aggressive behavior learn-ing disabilities lowered IQ speech delay and hearing impair-ment High levels of lead can cause severe mental disabilities con-vulsions coma or even death

ldquoThe most common source of lead is lead-based paint and lead-contami-nated house dust in homes built before 1978 the year lead was banned in

residential paintrdquo said Ayala ldquoIn the City of San Diego this type of pol-lution adversely affects low-income families who canrsquot afford to live in new housing or upgrade their current housing They cannot afford to vote with their feet they are afraid to complain for fear of being evictedrdquo

In the City of San Diego fami-lies with children who might live in housing with lead-based paint should contact Environmental Health Coalition to learn more about lead-poisoning risks free testing for children and lead-hazard removal programs EHC partners with the San Diego Housing Commissionrsquos ldquoHome Safe Homerdquo program to identify homes built before 1979 that are eligible for lead-based paint

Medicare and mental health By David Sayen Mental health problems like

depression and anxiety can affect anyonersquos life at any age If you think you have a mental health condition Medicare may be able to help

The symptoms of mental health issues include feelings of sadness emptiness or hopelessness a lack of energy and diffi culty concentrating or sleeping You might fi nd yourself losing interest in activities you used to enjoy or even having thoughts of ending your life

If you have any of these symp-toms talk to your doctor or other health care provider

Medicarersquos coverage of mental health includes outpatient and inpa-tient treatment as well as prescrip-tion drugs

If you get your Medicare benefi ts through a Medicare Advantage health plan check your planrsquos mem-bership materials Or call the plan for details about your Medicare-covered mental health benefi ts

If you have Original Medicare Part A covers inpatient care and Part B covers outpatient care Part D cov-ers medications you may need

Part A helps pay for mental health services given in a hospital that require you to be admitted as an inpatient These services can be provided in a general hospital or in a psychiatric hospital that cares exclusively for people with mental health conditions

How much do you pay

Medicare measures your use of hospital services in benefi t periods A benefi t period begins the day you go into a hospital and ends after yoursquove had no hospital care for 60 days in a row If you go into a hospi-tal again after 60 days a new benefi t period begins and you must pay a new inpatient hospital deductible

Therersquos no limit to the number of benefi t periods you can have when you get mental health care in a general hospital You can also have multiple benefi t periods when you get care in a psychiatric hospital but a lifetime limit of 190 days applies to inpatient psychiatric care

For each benefi t period you pay a $1156 deductible (in 2012) and no coinsurance for days 1ndash60 For days 61ndash90 of each benefi t period your cost would be $289 per day

Medicare Part B helps cover ser-vices by doctors and other providers if yoursquore admitted as a hospital inpa-tient You pay 20 of the Medicare-approved amount for these services while yoursquore an inpatient

Part B also helps pay for outpatient visits to psychiatrists or other doc-tors clinical psychologists social workers and nurse specialists and other professionals (Make sure your provider accepts Medicare payment before you schedule an appoint-ment)

Outpatient services are covered by Part B as well These include psychi-atric evaluation medication manage-ment individual and group psycho-therapy with doctors or certain other licensed professionals and family counseling if the main purpose is to help with your treatment

For outpatient care yoursquoll have to pay the Part B deductible which is $140 this year After that how much you pay depends on whether the pur-pose of your visit is to diagnose your condition or to get treatment

When you visit a doctor or other professional diagnostician you pay 20 of the Medicare-approved amount

For outpatient treatment such as psychotherapy you pay 40 of the Medicare-approved amount in 2012

(Recent legislation reduced these co-insurance amounts to keep them in line with other types of medical services mental health co-insurance will drop to 35 next year and 20 in 2014)

Part B also covers ldquopartial hos-pitalizationrdquo in some cases This is outpatient psychiatric treatment thatrsquos more intense than the care you get in a doctorrsquos or therapistrsquos offi ce Itrsquos provided during the day usually through hospital outpatient depart-ments and community mental health centers

Many Medicare Advantage plans cover prescription drugs If you have Original Medicare you can join a Part D drug plan

Medicare drug plans arenrsquot re-quired to cover all drugs However

they must cover all or almost all anti-depressant anticonvulsant and antipsychotic medications

Sign the Petition to Place the CASE Act in the November Ballot

We can only wish we can reverse time The fact is we do grow old and then eventually vanish The only good news for men is that we seem to live longer now than we used to Still the widows outnumber the widowers It only shows that women are smarter than men Itrsquos not fair so why donrsquot women marry younger men

Some of us are still married to the same spouse for a very long time The poor husbands are running out of ideas for the next wedding anniversary In my case itrsquos double since we got a civil marriage and then a church wedding Then therersquos the Valentines Day Birthday Moth-ers Day and Christmas Men have to sharpen their memories and keep inventing fresh and new ideas

By the way why is it that men are expected to remember all of this We mess up even once and we will be reminded about it forever Itrsquos like a broken record that can play at any given moment

So for old men like me keep notes and a system to remind you of upcoming events Use your smart phones or pocket calendars Sometimes you may have to use an old standby (a romantic dinner) but never forget Whatever you do or whatever you buy please never remind your wife that shersquos old Maybe itrsquos your 50th Anniversary yet let her feel she is still your young sweetheart She will always be pretty to you as time goes by

It is not how we look outside but how we feel inside I donrsquot mind being called an Old Man Reaching a certain age is an accomplishment Being old we learn how to slow things down

Maybe you have wished you were young once again With all the wisdom you have now you could have an easier life You may never have joined the rat race and get stuck in a complicated life You may never have the health and financial prob-lems now You can always help the younger generation avoid making the same mistakes

Whenever I had the chance to talk to the young people especially new immigrants I told them about reality of life in the US I encour-aged them to keep improving themselves by going back to school while they can I warned them of the danger in becoming obsessed with material things I advised them to start saving for the future and buy a house when they can afford it I told them to teach their kids the value of money at a young age I also reminded them to never forget where they came from and learn to balance their lives

We may not be old and rich to become philanthropists but we can always share all that wisdom we gained in the past After retirement you can still volunteer to help other people Share that knowledge and gain satisfaction They will remem-ber you someday for the good things you have done

We should never be afraid of get-ting older We just have to remember that even if our mind remained sharp our body may become weaker Mar-ried couples normally live longer so keep that fire burning and never give up No matter who goes first itrsquos how you stayed together through thick and thin There is nothing wrong with loving each other so much until the END

Old is Good

kept in various bank accounts referring to the sum of the $24 million (about P100 mil-lion) the Chief Justice depos-ited in four banks and the P80 million in commingled funds in three others

Corona declared only P35 million in cash and invest-ments in his statement of as-sets liabilities and net worth (SALN) for 2010

Farintildeas accused Corona of resort-ing to ldquopalusot (lame excuses)rdquo in attempting to explain his failure to include the deposits and high-end real properties in his SALNs

ldquoThe Chief Justice engaged in a buying spree (of expensive real estate) beginning 2004 He did not declare these in his SALN until 2010 We have a new President by then thatrsquos whyrdquo said Farintildeas the second speaker assigned to deliver closing arguments against Corona

The House prosecutor added that Coronarsquos actions left more questions than answers

For example if he earned so much from his dollar investments why did Corona have to sell a property to his daughter Carla for P19 million

Why did the Chief Justice need to borrow P11 million from the pro-ceeds of the sale of a parcel of land owned by Basa-Guidote Enterprises Inc (BGEI) to the city government of Manila BGEI is owned by the family of Coronarsquos wife

Why did he once have a car loan of P300000

If Corona earned so much from his dollar investments why did he not use this to buy a car in cash

Farintildeas also noted that Corona had told Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile that he started investing in dollars ldquoin the late 1960srdquo when the peso-dollar exchange rate was purportedly P2$1

Farintildeas said Enrile even made a clarificatory question asking Corona whether he started investing in dol-lars in the early or late sixties

Farintildeas said the P2$1 rate pre-vailed from 1948 to 1959

ldquoThe Senate President knew the exchange rate then He was under-secretary of finance from 1966 to 1968rdquo Farintildeas said

Corona graduated from Ateneo High School in 1966 from col-lege in 1970 and from the Ateneo law school in 1974 the prosecutor said The 1969 exchange rate when Corona was in college was already P390$1 according to Farintildeas

lsquoVisionaryrsquoThe lawmaker said the Chief

Justice ldquowants us to believe that when he was in Grade 4 in 1959 he was such a visionary that he already started buying dollarsrdquo

ldquoItrsquos clear that itrsquos palusot and ly-ing to the Senaterdquo he added

Farintildeas said Coronarsquos other ex-cuses included

That the impeachment complaint against Corona was the House of Representativesrsquo effort to support President Aquinorsquos attempt to get back at the Chief Justice for the Supreme Court decision awarding Hacienda Luisita to farm workers

That the Foreign Currency Depos-its Act (FCDA) absolved him from declaring his dollar accounts

That the Chief Justice commingled his cash with that of his children

Skirt of FCDAFarintildeas said Corona could not

hide under the skirt of the FCDA or Republic Act No 6426 since only banks not depositors were bound by its confidentiality provision

Besides RA 6713 or the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees also provides for the disclosure of assets ldquosuch as investments cash on hand or in banks stocks bonds and the likerdquo the prosecutor said

ldquoEven cash kept in a baul (trunk) or bank should be declared in the SALN Even if a defense witness insists that there is no other offi-cial who declared his dollars in his SALN the amount can be converted into pesos You donrsquot have to say itrsquos in dollars The Chief Justice is making excuses using RA 6426rdquo Farintildeas said

He reiterated earlier warnings from critics of Corona that the latterrsquos use of the FCDA to hide his dollar deposits could provide an idea to the rest of public officials who want to hide their deposits

ldquoWhat violation of RA 6426 if the Chief Justice rightfully declares his cash He owned up to the $24 million on hindsight because he was caught Even if he bought dollars at P2$1 he could not have accumu-

lated that amountrdquo he addedFarintildeas wondered why Corona

took out a car loan of P300000 when he was able to amass a huge amount ldquoWhy borrow when he claims he has millionsrdquo

The prosecutor then zeroed in on Coronarsquos peso deposits

Farintildeas said Corona claimed that he was not obligated to declare in his SALN the P80 million in commingled funds because these were not solely his ldquoWhy were the deposits in his name These could be deposited in joint accountsrdquo the lawmaker said

He also wondered whether Corona was converting his pesos into dol-lars How come the savings sent by his US-based daughter Charina to the Philippines was part of the com-mingled peso account ldquoShould her savings not be in dollarsrdquo Farintildeas asked

ldquoItrsquos confusinghellip The dollars his daughter in America earns are converted into pesos If he has P80 million why not exchange it for dol-larsrdquo Farintildeas asked

ldquoItrsquos really difficult to make excus-es We tend to contradict ourselves when we do not tell the truthrdquo he added

Dividing wealthFarintildeas noted that Corona put on

record that he had two heart bypass-es This he said should mean the Chief Justice should be more aware of his mortality and start consider-ing dividing his assets among his children

Instead Corona is the one who receives funds from his children purportedly to add these to the com-mingled funds ldquoThatrsquos because itrsquos not really commingled Itrsquos just an excuserdquo he said

Farintildeas also took note of Coronarsquos declaration that he and wife Cristina would rather invest their earnings in dollars because they were not in the habit of buying real estate

ldquoHe said lsquowe as a couple do not buy real estatersquo But why did they sell a property to their daughter Carla has lots of money A house and lot were sold to her for P19 mil-lionrdquo Farintildeas said ldquoClearly it was a palusotrdquo

Farintildeas also noted that the Chief Justicersquos P11-million loan from BGEI was a mystery considering his huge peso and dollar deposits

ldquoIf the Chief Justice has that kind of money his family and his wifersquos relatives should not be fighting over BGEIrdquo the prosecutor said

Cristina is still embroiled in sev-eral court cases with her cousins in connection with BGEI assets Her conflict with some Basa cousins was highlighted at the height of the impeachment trial

Farintildeas asked the Senate impeach-ment court not to waste House efforts in pinning down Corona for betrayal of public trust and culpable violation of the Constitution

The law requires a vote of two-thirds of the Senate members or 16 votes to declare Corona guilty of an impeachable offense before he can be booted out of office

ldquoLetrsquos not pass up the chance to [convict] Chief Justice Corona The House and the Senate should be in sync Otherwise all will be for naughtrdquo he said

ldquoIf the Senate wants to remove (an impeachable official) but we (House members) do not file a complaint therersquos no case The House has the sole power to file an impeachment case We did that and we proved the sin of Mr Coronardquo Farintildeas said

ldquoIf an ordinary Supreme Court interpreter can be removed for nondeclaration of a market stall and we donrsquot remove Renato Corona our nation will be destroyedrdquo he warned

Farintildeas said Corona should be removed as Chief Justice of the Philippines ldquoIt would be the greatest disservice to allow him to stay any minute longerrdquo he concluded

Lead prosecutorIloilo Representative Niel Tupas

Jr House lead prosecutor said no amount of ldquodenial no lame excuse whatsoeverrdquo could negate the fact that Coronarsquos SALNs did not ldquotruth-fully or accuratelyrdquo reflect his true material worth

And even when he included his high-end properties to his SALN in 2010 the report did not reflect the acquisition value of these

ldquoThe Chief Justice declared only their fair market value for taxation purposes which does not serve the purpose of and has nothing to do with the computation of net worth in the SALNrdquo Tupas said in his opening remarks

Fantastic taleThe lead prosecutor added that

Corona had ldquowoven a fantastic tale in his desperation to explain his incredible wealthrdquo

Perjury ndash Not a ldquoHigh Crimerdquo like Treason Bribery Graft amp Corrup-tion

There is ambiguity in the law in-volved in the controversy Ambigu-ity exists if reasonable persons can fi nd different meanings in a statute document etc

If the law is clear and unequivo-cal the Court has no other alterna-tive but to apply the law and not to interpret

In case of doubt the Constitution should be considered self-executing rather than non-self-executing un-less the contrary is clearly intended Non-self-executing provisions would give the legislature discretion to determine when or whether they shall be effective subordinated to the will of the law-making body

1The Court in construing a Constitution should bear in mind the object sought to be accomplished by its adoption and the evils if any

sought to be prevented or remedied2One provision of the Constitution is to be separated from all the others to be considered alone but that all provisions bearing upon a particular subject are to be brought into view and to be interpreted as to effectuate the great purposes of the instrument3The proper interpreta-tion of the Constitution depends more on how it was understood by the people adopting it than the framerrsquos understanding thereof

SUPREMA LEXIt is time-honored that the Con-

stitution is the Supreme Law of the land It is the law of all laws Hence if there is confl ict between a stat-ute and the Constitution the statute shall yield to the Constitution

The fundamental principle of

constitutional construction is to give effect to the intent of the framers of the organic law and of the people adopting it

When the law speaks in clear and categorical language t here is no occasion for interpretation

Where a requirement is made explicit and unambiguous terms no discretion is left to the judicia-ry It must see to it that the mandate is obeyed

ldquocasus omissusrdquoSuch omissions or defects cannot

be supplied by the courts The rule of ldquocasus omissus pro omisso haben-dus estrdquo can operate and apply only if and when the omission has been clearly established

When the law does not distinguish courts should not distinguish The rule founded on logic is a corollary of the principle that general words and phrases of a statute should ordinarily be accorded their natural and general signifi cance The courts should administer the law not as they think it ought to be but as they fi nd it and without regard to consequences When the law does not make any ex-ception courts may not except something unless compelling rea-sons exist to justify it

This rule is common-ly called the ldquoejusdem gen-erisrdquo rule because it teaches us that broad and comprehensive expressions in an act such as ldquoand all othersrdquo or ldquoany othersrdquo are usually to be restricted to persons or things ldquoof the same kindrdquo or class with those specially named in the preceding words Rule of ejusdem generis the word

ldquoshallrdquo is imperative operating to impose a duty which may be en-forced The term ldquoshallrdquo may be ei-ther as mandatory or directory de-pending upon a consideration of the entire provision in which it is found its object and consequences that would follow ldquoOrrdquo is a dis-junctive particle used to express as alternative or to give a choice of one among two or more things

Provisois a clause or part of a clause in

the statute the offi ce of which is either to except something from the enacting clause or to qualify or restrain its generality or to ex-clude some possible ground of mis-interpretation of its extent

ldquoProvidedrdquo is the word used in introducing a proviso

What could be more exciting than sailing the blue waters of the Mexi-can Riviera enjoying a plethora of shipboard activi-ties and exploring exotic sun-drenched ports-of-call

And if thatrsquos not thrilling enough add to that the gaming and shopping the smor-gasbord of food that can please any culinary taste the non-stop entertainment that rivals the glitz and the glitter of Las Vegasrsquo best To top it all hellip three of the best Elvis tribute artists Johnny Loos of Canada James King of California and Dave Hoover of Las Vegas Nevada

Where to this time This time it was to Cabo San Lucas Mazat-lan and Puerto Vallarta otherwise known as the ldquoMexican Rivierardquo This was not just R ampR for me Itrsquos a job ndash a fun job of covering three top Elvis tribute artists performing aboard the Vision of the Seas one of the elegant cruise ships of the Royal Caribbean International Cruise Lines

Even though the Elvis tribute shows were exclusive for Elvis fans other passengers got wind of the event and they trooped to the ldquoSome Enchanted Eveningrdquo showroom Judging from the deafening applause and wolf whistles after each show none left the showroom without becoming an Elvis fan Our three artists were kept busy signing auto-graphs and posing for photo ops

Johnny Loos wowed everyone with his superb performance This young tall and good-looking tribute artist started performing in 1999 and went on to participate and win com-petitions in the US and Canada His most memorable win so far was the Isle of Capri contest He was awarded $50000 for winning First Place Thatrsquos quite an achievement gaining him the admiration of most and the envy of some

I fi rst met Johnny at the 2002 Elvis Extravaganza in Laughlin Nevada sponsored by Jamie Coyne a famous tribute show producer

Johnnyrsquos impressive performance got the judges nod and he won First Place getting the $5000 prize money and a brand-new jumpsuit from the BampK Enterprises At that

well-attended contest performers came from all across the US as well as from England Canada Swe-den Japan and Germany

James King is from Beirut Leba-non but now lives in Los Angeles California A truly versatile singer he does incred-ible ren-ditions not only of Elvisrsquo songs but also that of Neil Dia-mond Tom Jones and Roy Orbison He can do the voices of these world-famous singers and that makes him in demand as a performer

James has a wide repertoire of Elvis songs from varied Elvis eras He regularly performs aboard the ldquoQueen Maryrdquo in Long Beach Cali-fornia He has also won numerous competitions and he is one of the favorite ETA of the Jailhouse Rock-ers members

Dave Hoover of Las Vegas Ne-vada was the only one of the three

ETArsquos who didnrsquot wear the trade-mark Elvis outfi ts during the tribute shows He preferred performing in ordinary clothes yet managed to grab and hold everyonersquos attention and approval with his wonderful voice sense of humor and down-to-earth charm

I had a chat with some of the pas-sengers and most admitted that the ultimate vacation is aboard a cruise ship The activities on board and at the various ports-of-call satisfi ed everyonersquos need for adventure On a cruise ship you can do everything ndash or nothing

Talking about everything therersquos a whirlwind of activities on board The No 1 favorite is ndash you guessed it ndash eating There are so many places to indulge For example therersquos the formal Aquarius Dining Room where everyone came attired in their fi nest the informal Windjammer

Cafeacute for buffet lunch and dinner and the Solarium where snacks were available at all hours

The second favorite activity was shopping Aboard ship we can pur-chase photos postcards and souve-nirs Or spend thousands of dollars

at the Art Auction For serious shoppers there was a seminar that gave information on where to fi nd the best and hard-to-fi nd souvenirs at the different ports-of-call

There were workshops for almost everything daily trivia and bingo card and board games books and movies and karaoke contests Those who wanted their young good looks preserved or acquired

The Exciting ldquoFOLLOW THAT DREAM CRUISErdquo To the Mexican

Riviera

frequented the spa which offered facials makeovers massage teeth whitening and seaweed wraps

Some who were into sports and fi tness and love a ship-shape body spent an hour or two every morning walking the deck or working out in the gym The still agile enough preferred rock-climbing at the shiprsquos man-made cliffs

Speaking of doing nothing that will make them sweat or spend money some women just lounged on the deck watching the deep sap-phire of the ocean and the shimmer-ing red and gold of the sunset And men of all ages congregated around the swimming pools admiring the glistening bodies of young women in their scanty bikinis or bathing suits

Cabo San Lucas was our fi rst port-of-call It used to be an isolated island in the Baja Peninsula inhab-ited by Cochimi Indians In the

16th century lured by rumors of Aztec gold the Spanish explorer Hernan Cortez sent ships to explore the area Today Cabo San Lucas remains unspoiled and is one of the worldrsquos best fi shing areas Dubbed the ldquoMarlin Capital of the Worldrdquo

even neophyte fi shermen can catch at least one marlin

A primary tourist attraction Cabo offers pristine white-sand beaches guided nature walks picturesque mountains and the unforgettable sight of whales frolicking in their natural habitat Before we docked at Cabo San Lucas one of the shiprsquos offi cers pointed out the supposed location of the fi lm ldquoTroyrdquo which

Sometimes trusting in God can be hard Consider Joseph He had to know that many people wouldnrsquot believe that his fi anceacutee Mary was actually pregnant with Godrsquos son There would be rumors whispers pos-sibly accusations She might be shunned she might be ridiculed To stay with Mary meant an uncertain lifemdasha life Joseph never expected or dreamed of having

Joseph obviously cared about Mary He didnrsquot want to see her disgraced and he didnrsquot want a big public break-up He was torn about how to handle the situation But it was Godrsquos plan that Joseph marry Mary So God sent an angel to tell Joseph about his plan and Joseph chose to believe what the angel said was true although it was a unique and unbelievable situation

Trusting God is not always easy and sometimes we wonrsquot understand what God has in store for us beyond what we can see But whatrsquos important to remember is that Godrsquos promises are true We can trust that he will keep his promisesmdashhe kept his promise to Joseph and he will keep his promise to you too

While Joseph thought about these things an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream The angel said ldquoJoseph descendant of David donrsquot be afraid to take Mary as your wife because the baby in her is from the Holy Spirit She will give birth to a son and you will name him Jesus[a] because he will save his people from their sinsrdquo When Joseph woke up he did what the Lordrsquos angel had told him to do Joseph took Mary as his wiferdquo Matthew 120-21 24 NCV -- Excerpted from Revolve The Complete New Testament copy 2010 by Thomas Nelson Inc The Holy Bible New Century Version copy 2009 by Thomas Nel-son Inc Used with permission All rights reserved Source wwwrevolvetourcom

Trusting in God

As Irsquove aged Irsquove become kinder to myself and less critical of myself Irsquove become my own friend

I have seen too many dear friends leave this world too soon before they understood the great freedom

that comes with aging Whose business is it if I choose to read or play on the computer until 4 AM or sleep until noon I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 60 amp70rsquos and if I at the same time wish to weep over a lost love I will

I will walk the beach in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body and will dive into the waves with abandon if I choose to despite the pitying glances from the jet set

They too will get old I know I am sometimes forgetful

But there again some of life is just as well forgotten And I eventually remember the important things

Sure over the years my heart has been broken How can your heart not break when you lose a loved one or when a child suffers or even when somebodyrsquos beloved pet gets hit by a car But broken hearts are what give us strength and understanding and

compassion A heart never broken is pristine and sterile and will never know the joy of being imperfect

I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turning gray and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face

So many have never laughed and so many have died before their hair could turn silver [or lost some of it]

As you get older it is easier to be positive You care less about what other people think I donrsquot question myself anymore

Irsquove even earned the right to be wrong

So to answer your question I like being old It has set me free I like the person I have become I am not going to live forever

But while I am still here I will not waste time lamenting what could have been or worrying about what will be And I shall eat dessert every single day (if I feel like it)

MAY OUR FRIENDSHIP NEVER COME APART ESPECIALLY WHEN ITrsquoS STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART

Aging and Loving ItQ Many people have bondages

Do you have any idea or advice on how to cut them offfrom these bondages

A Well one time a Divine Mercy devotee from Zamboanga went to Cebu She went to our house and said lsquoBrother can you teach us how to cut a bondage Because their grandmoth-er has been in and out of the hospital until the hospital doesn lsquot want to accept her anymore She is now in the house instead He said their wealth is almost fi nished They sold

their belongings just to have money to spend for their grandmother until the hospital doesn lsquot want to accept them anymore Now she is just in the house and in the house she has been fi ghting for her life for more than 3 months but still she would not die Her whole body is already full of worms but still he would not die One of her hands was raised up but then nobody among her children and grandchildren wants to receive the bondage because they do not want the bondage to be transferred to them by their grandmother They do not want it to be transferred to them that is why

she would not die and has been fi ght-ing for her life for 3 months So she told me Brother please help us how to cut the bondage So I said let us wait for 3 Orsquoclock and let

us pray the 3 Orsquoclock prayer Let us pray the chaplet and ask the Lord what we should do After praying I just learned from the Lord to pray the chaplet 7 - 7 to cut the bondage So meaning we have to pray the chaplet 7 times in a day for 7 day Meaning we start at 7 Orsquoclock in the morning and end at 7 Orsquoclock in the evening So every 2 hours 79 111 357 Every

2 hour 79111 357 for 7 days So I told her to go back to Zamboanga to pray the chaplet 7-7 for their grandmother And because almost all the relatives were already there I told her to let all the relatives join together to pray the 7-7 So on the

day at 7 Orsquoclock in the evening the last chaplet they told me that while they were praying the last chaplet on the 7th day there was suddenly a glow in the whole body of their grandmother The glow was turning and it was very bright and the hand slowly went down And when it went down the glow transferred to her face The face of their grandmother became very bright Before when he was suffering the struggle was very hard but when the face of their grandmother glowed she smiled and slowly she closed her eyes and died So mean-ing the bondage was cut You have to pray the chaplet 7 -7 to cut the bondage

7th day they told me on the 7th



Dream Cruise

starred Brad Pitt We saw beautiful rock formations and a natural rock arch big enough for a small ship to pass

We also saw sailing vessels of all shapes and sizes like catamarans jet skis glass-bottomed boats kayak tenders and even a replica of an an-cient pirate ship much like the ones seen in the ldquoPirates of the Caribbe-anrdquo series of films I half expected seeing Captain Jack Sparrow on the shiprsquos prow

Parasailing ndash some people love do-ing it and some people are reluctant to do it For me nothing beats the high-flying excitement of parasailing ndash feeling the wind and spray on your face and watching the beautiful scenery go by I love it

It seems like water is the greatest adventure Whether you swim in it play in it dive deeply beneath it or just spend hours gazing at it ndash water is a top consideration in choosing a vacation destination

Mazatlan was our second port-of-call First settled by Chibcha Indi-ans who are believed to have given the city its name Mazatlan means ldquoplace of the deerrdquo At one time herds of deer roamed throughout the area But no longer Now their memory is immortalized with a large statue of a deer standing proudly by the waterfront Dancers in their colorful native attire entertained us One dance featured the graceful acrobatic movements of the deer as they elude their hunters

We watched with wonder and awe as the ldquoFlying Papantasrdquo performed the centuries-old ritual of flying and spinning upside down a very tall pole Each of the four dancers rep-resenting north south east and west spun on the polersquos axis 360 times signifying the days of the year

Our third and last port-of-call was Puerto Vallarta Puerto Vallarta is different from that of many Mexi-can cities some of which had a past that dated back thousands of years to the Olmecs the Toltecs and the Mayans In 1541 Don Pedro de Alvarado discovered Puerto Vallarta Then it was practically forgotten for the next 400 years until the ldquoNight of the Iguanardquo

This film made by famous movie Director John Houston made Puerto

Vallarta a popular tourist resort Reporters came to cover the film-ing of the ldquoNight of the Iguanardquo primarily drawn by the scandalous romantic dalliance of its leading stars Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton The beautiful Elizabeth was then married to Eddie Fisher

We saw and explored John Hous-tonrsquos museum at Las Caletas a rev-erently beautiful and secluded place that for many years was the famed directorrsquos private Garden of Eden Accessible only by sea this enchant-ing cove is just an hour away from Puerto Vallarta by catamaran

There in Las Caletas we watched at dusk the spellbinding show ldquoRhythms of the Nightrdquo A dream-like reverie of mysticism and cul-tural anthropology this show trans-ported us to that long-forgotten place that reverberates with primal memo-ries Haunting flutes and pulsating drums summoned us ndash passengers of several cruise lines ndash along a torch-lit path to a pyramid deep in the heart of the jungle There in a natural amphitheater under a star-studded sky we witnessed Mexicorsquos mythological past in the universal language of music and dance

The hour-long show celebrated the union of two people (man and wom-an of course) as they became one in heart and soul recreating a magical pre-Hispanic wedding ceremony A sumptuous dinner by candlelight followed this spellbinding spectacle ndash zenasultanahotmailcom

by Agriculture Deputy Secre-tary Kathleen MerriganUSDA | 4252012 -- What can farmers and ranchers do if theyrsquore interested in selling locally but donrsquot have the re-sources to run their own trucks processing plants or marketing strategies What can institutional buyers ndashlike schools hospital and retailers mdash do to offer more local food to their customers A regional food hub is one possible answer

Regional food hubs ndash businesses or orga-nizations that connect farmers and buyers by offering a suite of production distribution and marketing services ndash can play a critical role in developing stronger supply chains for local food They can also help address the infrastruc-ture challenges that many small and midsize producers face when trying to break into local markets and help aggregate products from smaller local and regional producers Food hubs can also support food access regional economic development and job creation

Last week at the National Good Food Network (NGFN) Food Hub Collaboration Spring 2012 Con-ference in Chicago (sponsored by USDA and the Wallace Center at Winrock International) USDA released our new Regional Food Hub Resource Guide a collec-tion of information resources and background on everything needed to develop or participate in a regional food hub The guide presents a series of key questions about the current state of food hub develop-ment and examples from operating food hubs It also outlines the role that food hubs can play in regional food systems their innovative busi-ness models and their economic contributions to local communities It describes funding opportunities and other resources best practices and additional strategies for anyone interested in developing regional

Introducing the Regional Food Hub Guide An Innovative Tool for

Growing Local Food Systemsfood hubs

At USDA the Agricultural Mar-keting Service has taken the lead in food hub research Last year AMS created a food hub portal which in-

cludes the latest research news and information about food hub develop-ment across the country Working with partners AMS identified more than 170 food hubs oper-ating across the country I met some of them at the Chicago conference like Johnice Cross of GROWN Locally in Decorah Iowa which

has been coordinating with produc-ers in Northeast Iowa to distribute a wide variety of their products to wholesale institutions distribu-tors and local schools and Haile Johnston of Common Market which connects nearly 100 local producers with communities in Philadelphia Pennsylvania

AMS produced the Regional Food Hub Resource Guide in partnership with the Wallace Center at Winrock International the National Good Food Network the National Asso-ciation of Produce Market Managers and the Project for Public Spaces as part of the National Food Hub Collaboration Our ongoing work together will include developing a national food hub community of practice continuing current research on food hubs business model and understanding the role food hubs are playing in communities across the country

ldquoNakakatawa na hindi yata puwede manalo ang isang Latina like Jessica Dahil ba lsquoAmerican Idolrsquo kailangan pure American But Jessica is half-Latin American Hindi ako natatawa naiiyak ako Nagbenta pa yata ng ka-labaw ang ilang Pinoys sa USA para lang maka-vote for Jessicardquo

Stand-up comic Willie Nepo-muceno joked ldquoSayang Were it not for the confusion and divisiveness of the Pinoy overseas texters we could have had the first lsquoAmerican Idolrsquo from Asia A number of them thought Phillip Phillips was the Pinoy pride candidate and voted for him Could any other name be more Philippine than that Adding to the confusion was the usual clan-nish and partisan attitude of Pinoys made worse by the network wars Of course votes for Jessica Soho and Korina Sanchez were nullified Seriously only time will tell Who knows This whole thing may even boost local tourism hellip now that Americans know that itrsquos more fun with Phillip Phillipsrdquo

Maraming balakid ang totoong namagitan

Naroon ang kung minsan ay mumunting tampuhan

Na ang kasunod ay lsquodi matapos na lambingan

Philippine Star | BAYOMBONG Nueva Vizcaya Philippines ndash Croc-odile tourism Why not

The Department of Tourism (DOT) is considering developing the croco-dile sanctuary in Isabela as another tourism attraction in the region

The Mabuwaya Foundation a foreign-assisted private environment group said the DOT is consider-ing promoting crocodile-centered tourism activities in Isabela home of the endangered Philippine crocodile said to be rarer than the Philippine eagle

Mabuwaya (from the words Mabuhay or long live and buwaya or crocodile) is a non-government group working for the conservation of Philippine crocodiles

The plan to use Philippine croco-diles to prop up Isabelarsquos tourism industry could also further boost efforts to save the crocodile species which the foundation said could be extinct in 10 years if it is not protected

The foundation has a crocodile sanctuary in Isabelarsquos San Mariano town which released 12 locally bred young crocodiles into Dicatian Lake part of the government-protected Northern Sierra Madre Park last May 19

The newly released young croco-diles were hatched and bred at the San Mariano crocodile center which was put up several years ago in partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources Isabela State University the pro-vincial government and the World Wide Fund for Nature

Besides representatives of environ-ment groups local officials and resi-dents the release was also witnessed by Michel Lacoste president and scion of the founder-owner of the popular French apparel brand La-coste known for its crocodile logo

Lacoste expressed his companyrsquos commitment to support efforts to conserve the Philippine crocodile vowing to fund community-based initiatives to strengthen the cam-paign

Some 70 baby crocodiles have been released by the Mabuwaya Foundation in Dicatian Lake at the boundary of San Mariano and Divi-lacan towns since 2009

ldquoWe have been doing this in our efforts to save this crocodile species from possible extinction due to habitat loss hunting and destructive fishingrdquo the foundation said

Before the group started its con-servation efforts only around 100 mature Philippine crocodiles were left in the country especially in the wilds of Isabela and Liguasan Marsh in Maguindanao making the species among the worldrsquos most endangered reptiles

ldquo(Philippine crocodiles are) even rarer than the Philippine eagle (but) there is very little attention and conservation action for (them)rdquo said Merlijn van Weerd the foundationrsquos executive directorPhilippine croco-diles (Crocodylus mindorensis) which grow no more than a meter long mainly in freshwater areas generally pose no threat to humans unless provoked The other crocodile species in the country is the saltwa-ter crocodile (Crocoydlus porosus)

The Philippine crocodile species according to a fact sheet of the foun-dation is listed as critically endan-gered by the World Conservation Union which means that without any conservation action taken it ldquowould likely go extinct within 10 yearsrdquo

The foundation began its work in Isabela in 1999 following the discovery of several Philippine crocodiles in San Mariano town

A recent report from the Health-care Cost Institute indicated that though the economy has remained weak since 2008 healthcare cost has continued to rise at double the rate of infl ation

How do Americans respond to the increase of health care cost As unemployment percentages continue to be in the two digits in most states and economic recovery remains uncertain consumers are slashing expenditure left and right and that of course means delaying health care as long as they could

A New York Times article reported that even insured Americans are cutting back on their doctorsrsquo visits because of not able to afford their co-payments This cutting back of visits has boosted the bottom lines of insurance companies and yet has put Americans into a poorer health condition

Los Angeles healthcare practice management consultant and author Mr Helmut Flasch has consulted private dental and medical practices of all specialties for 20 years in the US and other countries

ldquoWhile I can help a private dentist or doctor by improving his market-ing visibility in the community and thus driving new patients to the practice there is still this glaring problem that many patients can-not afford treatment and thus they delay their needed healthcarerdquo said Flasch

One does not need to be a trained doctor to know that delays of needed care will often create a much larger and even more expensive health problem For example dental care delayed could cause gum diseases which affect the immune system A weakened immune system could lead to heart and liver diseases etc and for pregnant mothers pre-ma-tured babies and still-born babies

According to a Japanese Univer-sity study an untreated gum disease could even turn HIV viruses into AIDS

According to Flasch doctors are getting the short end of the stick as well Doctors are working harder and harder and making less They are trying to keep up with the rising cost of their malpractice insurances the costs of equipments and mainly government regulations and insur-ance companiesrsquo re-imbursement cuts This year CNN reported a growing trend of doctors going broke

ldquoThe middle class is still living in nice homes driving good cars and having coffee at Starbucks but falling extremely short on the much needed healthcare This situation has grown to a level where I feel I MUST come up with a way to help the patients to get affordable treat-ment rdquo Flasch continued

That said Flasch launched a health site Healthcare4penniescom that specialized in getting patients af-fordable healthcare at up to 70 off regular price

This is a penny auction bidding site where the public could place bids to acquire discounts in health packages which they could use in any doctorsrsquo offi ce of their choice and even outside of America should they wish to seek more affordable healthcare options in other countries like Costa Rica etc

ldquoHealthcare4penniescom gives Americans an option for getting healthcare at a discount without sacrifi cing the quality of care This is important Usually when an individual has a cheap health plan the plan would not cover any major needed treatment This site is not about plans or insurances It simply lets the individual have a chance to acquire discounted healthcare to be used at any doctorrsquos offi ce ldquo explained Flasch

One cannot ignore the contrast that when the times are good consumers have less reservation of plunging down the money especially for elec-tive health care and when times are tough consumers are hanging on to their wallets and scrutinizing every big and small purchases

ldquoHealth care delayed for Ameri-cans is bad news Poor health affects work and affects economics Health-care4penniescom is a solution for Americans towards rising health-care cost I know this will make a difference of helping someone who need treatment but cannot afford itrdquo concluded Flasch

Increasing Healthcare Cost in Weak Economy Forced Even

More Americans to Delay Healthcare

What is Green Pest Control How is it Green What Makes It Greenby Vince Singh of Xterm Pest

ControlThe im-

age of pest control is that of characters like Dale Gribble from King of the Hill A guy in a hazard suit with canisters of deadly poison on his back and a spray handle ready to unleash the poisons in your home With that kind of im-age many are right to express doubt when their pest control company tells them that they are green

Eco friendly pest control or green pest management is a vaguely defi ned term and is sadly treated as a self-imposed marketing gimmick by many companies unwilling to make the effort to actually go green Indeed many pest control compa-nies use conventional poisons and slap a green sticker on the label and call it green Also known as Green Washing a business pretending to be earth-friendly and really are not typi-cally get caught and exposed for it

But what is Eco-Friendly Pest Control

In order for a pest control service to be green clearly toxic compo-nents must be eliminated Those chemicals must be replaced with their botanical biological and mineral counterparts By using those non-toxic non-chemical products we keep ourselves family and pets are kept safe while dealing with pests There is also more emphasis on preventing pests such as keep-ing the home clean maintained and yard trimmed and healthy

What makes it GreenAn eco-friendly pest control

service must use natural products and fall into one of three categories When selecting a pest control com-pany you want to check the products they use for these ingredients

Botanical (Plant Oils)bull Rosemary Oilbull Thyme Oilbull Eugenol (Clove Oil)bull 2-Phenethyl Propionate (A

refi ned peanut oil with the allergic properties removed)

bull Peppermint Oilbull Wintergreen Oilbull D-Limonene (Orange Oil)bull Mint Oilbull Cedar Oilbull Neem Oilbull Garlic Oil Microbial Biochemicalbull Pheromones (Used in traps)bull Abamectin (A natural fermenta-

tion product of soil bacteria)bull BT Bacillus theringiensis (mi-

crobial)Mineralsbull Boratesbull Diatomaceous Earth (DE)bull LimestoneMany of these ingredients target

specifi c parts of an insectrsquos biology that doesnrsquot exist outside of insect families and disrupts them The end result is that the insects die you stay safe your family is safe and so are your pets

Many of the ingredients listed above are on the National Organics Program (NOP) certifi cation for pest control set forth by the government (wwwamsusdagovnop ) If your pest control service provider does not use products with those ingredi-ents or refuses to show you that is your clue to avoid that company

Choosing the Right CompanyThe next thing you want to do in

looking for an eco friendly pest con-trol company is to investigate them by contacting your local state regula-tors and verifying their license Ev-ery State requires pest control com-panies to obey special laws Also read reviews about the company and asking for MSDS (Material Data Safety Sheets) and Product Labels from the company in question Note

that product labels are the instruc-tions that a pest control company must follow to apply any product Be wary of companies that claim to

have membership in green pest management

organizations as many of these organiza-tions charge a nominal fee and donrsquot verify if they pest control company is eco-friendly Instead look for

companies that carry certifi cations from organizations such as Ameri-can Institute of Baking and various Universities

Pay special attention to the price Thanks to manufacturers like EcoSmart Technologies Bayer and others the cost of earth-friendly pest control materials has been reduced to the point where it costs the same as if not less than conventional pes-ticides and your end price for service shouldnrsquot be more than a using a lsquotraditionalrsquo pest control service

A little investigation and a few questions go a long way to keep-ing your family and home safe and free from conventional pesticides There are several companies out there providing actual pest control service without using any chemicals at reasonable prices

Eco-Friendly Pest Control

BY JANNICA DIAZ Rapplercom | MANILA Philippines 5282012 - In the blockbuster Miss Conge-niality Sandra Bullocks character teaches women how to defend themselves from male attackers In the Philippines one female cop is likewise educating her fellow Pinays about how to help themselves -- by knowing their legal rights and how

to prevent common crimes before they happen

While pepper spray and stun guns may help SPO3 Helen Lapay Dela Cruz believes prevention-education is just as crucial

During an intimate discussion group Talk Safety to Me on Tuesday May 22 the multi-awarded police offi cer outlined ways women

Preventing violence against women before it happenscan avoid common crimes

1 Change your routine The simple action of deviating your stop-overs or roads to home from your regular commuting routine might discourage would-be stalkers said Dela Cruz in Filipino

2 Tuck away your valuables When commuting especially at night always hide any of your gad-gets to avoid attracting the eyes of snatchers she added

3 Take comfort in a crowd Hail a taxi in a place where therersquos a security camera which can see you or in any place where there are lots of people When therersquos a security guard present ask him to take note of your taxirsquos plate number or text it to your relatives especially if yoursquore coming home late she advised

4 Keep cool and pay to take safer modes of transport Always pay attention to your surroundings said the police offi cer Dela Cruz be-lieves everyone has an instinct that kicks in when someone suspicious is present or a situation is about to take a turn for the worse If you feel the need to stay away from danger even if it means wasting fares then do so Act cool and donrsquot let yourself plunge into hysterics she said

5 Your life is more valuable than your purse When escape is impossible donrsquot try to fi ght back if yoursquore not an expert she said Let the attacker strip away your gadgets because at the end of the day your life is a thousand times more pre-cious and it cant be replaced

6 Read the news You really have to be more alert Be mindful of any new modus operandi hot in the news or social network Be vigilant and alert Some might say yoursquore bordering on paranoia but at least itrsquos for the benefi t of your well-being and safety she added

Shield against violence

Women can take steps to make themselves less vulnerable to com-mon crimes but according to Dela Cruz the majority of female victims are abused by partners who are

ignorant of their rights She said some women dont realize they are being abused while others choose to suffer in silence for the sake of the family or their kids

She added that Filipinas are con-ventionally martyrs by nature She believes that mentality plays a factor in why many of them are unable to get out of abusive relationships

She defi ned abuse Abuse is not only limited to physical Therersquos also emotional like humiliation name-calling or any ways of degrading your character Another type of abuse is fi nancial she said pointing to husbands who dont allow their wives to work or leave the house

She said not just husbands abuse women but also employers who are in a position of authority She pointed out that sexual harassment remains prevalent in the workplace From 2000 to 2011 the Philippine National Polices (PNP) Women and Children Protection Center recorded 757 cases of sexual harassment or 5 cases per month

She spoke about the greatest legal weapon for women and children - Republic Act 9262 or the Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children Act The law is hailed as a complete package that perfectly fi lls the vacuum of the lack of justice for women before gender-based laws existed

ldquoWe canrsquot uphold our rights with-out knowing themrdquo she stressed Getting out of an abuse is a per-sonal call If you feel yoursquore being abused you can get out

Despite laws to safeguard the rights and welfare of women do-mestic violence and sexual harass-ment remain a prevalent problem in the Philippines From January 2011 to August 2011 alone the PNP Women and Children Protection Center recorded 5989 cases which translates to 25 cases a day or 1 every 57 minutes and 36 seconds - Rapplercom

The spoon A lesson on how consultants can

make a difference in an organiza-tion

Last week we took some friends to a new restaurant

lsquoSteversquos Placersquo and noticed

that the waiter who

took our order carried a spoon in his shirt pocket

It seemed a little strangeWhen the busboy brought our

water and utensils I observed that he also had a spoon in his shirt pocket

Then I looked around and saw that all the staff had spoons in their pockets When the waiter came back to serve our soup I inquired lsquoWhy the spoonrsquo

lsquoWell lsquohe explainedrsquothe res-taurantrsquos owner hired Andersen Consulting to revamp all of our processes

After several months of analysis they concluded that the spoon was the most frequently dropped utensil

It represents a drop frequency of approximately 3 spoons per table per hour

If our personnel are better pre-pared we can reduce the number of trips back to the kitchen and save 15

man-hours per shiftrsquo As luck would have it I dropped

my spoon and he replaced it with his spare lsquoIrsquoll get another spoon next time I go to the kitchen instead of making an extra trip to get it right nowrsquo I was impressed

I also noticed that there was a string hanging out of the

waiterrsquos fl y Looking around I saw that all

of the waiters had the same string hanging from their fl ies So before he walked off I asked the waiter

lsquoExcuse me but can you tell me why you have that string right therersquo

ldquoOh certainlyrsquo Then he lowered his voice

lsquoNot everyone is so observantThat consulting fi rm I mentioned

also learned that we can save time in the restroom

By tying this string to the tip of our you-know-what

we can pull it out without touching it and eliminate the need to wash our hands shortening the time spent in the restroom by 7639

I asked quietlylsquoAfter you get it out how do you

put it backrsquo lsquoWellrsquo he whispered lsquoI donrsquot

know about the othersbut I use the spoonrsquo

The Spoonby The Wonder Girls and Sorry Sorry by the top Korean boy band Super Junior all made Filipinos dance even if they could not fully understand the lyricsAside from the music the singers themselves won the heart of many Filipino fans Korean male idols may even sometimes put real women to shame because of their soft features and Snow White-like skin They are even prettier compared to real girls when they dress like them

Fans also have fan chants and enjoy making fan fi ctions (fanfi c) about their favorite celebrities These entail creating stories that are usually about the couples they like (and yes even if the couple is of the same sex) These made the KPop fandom special exciting and distinct from other fan clubs

Korean celebrities are also known to be good variety show guests and emcees Hosting variety and reality shows make them more appealing and delightful to the fans because they display their charm and funny side which fans do not usually see during their concerts and music show performances

KPop idols have large fan bases in numerous countries around the globe and more non-Korean speaking fans even try to cover and translate the songs in English

These prove that the Hallyu wave can crash the international music scene if given the chance to do so Some of the groups known interna-tionally include Super Junior 2NE1 Big Bang Girlsrsquo Generation TVXQ JYJ and The Wonder Girls

What awaits the Hallyu waveSeveral Korean movies have won

and been nominated for international awards so there is no doubt that some of the actors get the chance to work with top fi lmmakers and artists in the world

Because of this the Korean movie industry continues to work harder in bringing better and top-caliber mov-ies with hopes that they could reach out to more international audiences

As for KPop it may take a while before the genre may be compared to the more widely-accepted music from other international artists

But the important thing for these Korean idols and their fans is that they are slowly gaining recognition and admiration from famous US songwriters

Korean music companies are also starting to hold concerts outside Asia to reach out to their fans in other continents trying to increase their popularity and fan base by doing so

But no matter how long it takes them to get wider recognition these idols can be sure that while they are doing their best in achieving every artistrsquos dream of becoming known globally their fandoms will be wait-ing and will unceasingly cheer for them

So as for now Oppa aja aja fi ght-ing - Rapplercom

Senate votes


Tupas said it was Corona himself who penned a decision Republic v Sandiganbayan and Ferdinand E Marcos stating that when an of-fi cialrsquos assets are grossly dispropor-tionate to his source of income then the excess is prima facie ill-gotten

Tupas blasted Corona for insist-ing that the FCDA granted absolute confi dentiality to his deposits

ldquoThis interpretation of the law is very disturbing We beg to disagree based on the law itself and the principles of public accountability The SALN requirement addressed to government offi cials requires them to declare all their assets and makes no distinction between peso and foreign currency cash assets in the spirit of transpar-ency and good governancerdquo he said

Tupas also accused Corona of ldquopeddl(ing) his position of power in exchange for material gain It has led us to the truth that his loyalty does not lie with the Filipino peoplerdquo

ldquoOn the whole it has led us to the truth that he is in public service not to serve his country but to serve his own endsrdquo he added

Senator Ralph RectoSenator Ramon ldquoBongrdquo Revilla

JrSenate Majority Leader Vicente

ldquoTitordquo Sotto IIISenator Antonio Trillanes IVSenate Manuel VillarEnrile being the presiding of-

fi cer was the last to cast his vote on the case

ldquoAs one who has been through many personal upheavals through all of my 88 years I too have been judged often unfairly and harshly But I have constantly held that those who face the judgment of imperfect and fallible mortals like us have recourse to the judgment of history and ultimately of Godrdquo said the Sen-ate leader

ldquoAnd so with full trust that the

Almighty will see us through the aftermath of this chapter in our na-tionrsquos history I vote to hold the Chief Justice Renato C Corona guilty as charged under Article II Par 23 and that his deliberate act of exclud-ing substantial assets from his sworn Statement of Assets Liabilities and Net Worth constitutes a culpable vio-lation of the Constitutionrdquo he said

It was Revillarsquos vote who cast the 16th ldquoguiltyrdquo verdict that sealed the fate of Corona because under the rules at least two-thirds of the total members of the Senate or 16 of the 23 incumbent senators are needed to convict him

Revillarsquos vote came as a surprise considering that he is a known ally of former President and now Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo

It was Arroyo who appointed Coro-na as Chief Justice before the former stepped down from offi ce in 2010

ldquoI prayed hard for Divine Provi-dence and guidance int his one great decision of my liferdquo Revilla said

ldquoNapakahirap man alang-alang sa pagkakaisa at paghihilom ng ating bayan alang alang sa pagpappatibay ng mga institusyon ng ating pama-halaan alang alang sa mga darating pang henarasyon at ng ating kinabu-kasan I fi nd Chief Justice Renato Corona guiltyrdquo the senator added

(Though very diffi cult for the sake of unity and healing our nation for the sake of strengthening the institu-tions of the government for the sake of the next generation and our future I fi nd Chief Justice Renato Corona guilty)

One notable vote came from another Arroyo ally Lapid who also cast a guilty vote for Corona

ldquoPara sakin po malinaw na mali-naw na si Chief Justice Corona ay lumabag sa batas Siya mismo inamin niya na may $24 million at P80 mil-lion na bank account Yun po siguro hindi na kasinungalin yun yun po ay totoo nardquo Lapid said

(To me clearly Chief Justice Corona violated the law He himself admitted he has $24 million at P80-million bank account Thatrsquos perhaps no longer a lie thatrsquos the truth)

At fi rst Lapid said his heart went to Corona when the latter testifi ed before his own trial

ldquoIrsquom very sorry for him I thought he was telling the truth He did notrdquo he said

In the end Lapid had these words for Corona ldquoPasensiya na po Pasen-siya na po Pasensya na po Ang hatol ko sa inyo guiltyrdquo

(My apologies My apologies My apologies My verdict is guilty)

In years past a minor child who is the beneficiary of an immigrant peti-tion (either directly or as a derivative beneficiary) of an immigrant petition must set foot in US soil before he turns 21 years old otherwise he will lose immigration benefits as a minor child So much of a minor childrsquos fate is left at the mercy of the USCIS and the Department of State Previ-ously processing delays from these government agencies would result in families being separated for many years

The passing of the Child Status Protection Act of 2002 (ldquoCSPArdquo) which took effect on August 6 2002 provided for ldquoage outrdquo protections allowing minor children to retain their classification as minor children even if he or she has reached the age of 21

Minor Children of US citizensProvided the US citizen par-

ent files the immigrant petition on behalf of the minor child while he is under 21 years old his age will be ldquofrozenrdquo on the date his US citizen parent filed the immigrant petition For example if the US citizen parent filed the immigrant petition for his minor child when he was 20 years old under the provisions of the CSPA for immigration purposes his age will remain at 20 years old regardless of the processing time it takes for the child to acquire lawful permanent residence status

Minor Children of Lawful Perma-nent Residents Who Subsequently Naturalize

In instances where the immigrant petition was filed for the minor child while his parent was a lawful permanent resident and the parent subsequently naturalizes the minor childrsquos age is ldquofrozenrdquo on the date his parent naturalizes provided he was under the age of 21 years old at that time

Minor Children of Lawful Perma-nent Residents

Minor children of lawful perma-

nent residents are subject to visa availability Thus for a child to retain his classification as a minor child he has to be under the age of 21 on the date a visa number becomes available under his prefer-ence category To determine his age on the date the visa number becomes available the period of time the petition was pending is deducted from his age (the number of days between the date the petition was filed and the date the petition was approved) at the time a visa number is available under his preference category For example a lawful permanent resident parent files an immigrant petition on October 1 2006 for his minor child who was born on October 1 1997 At the time he filed the immigrant petition his minor child was exactly 19 years old according the child F-2A prefer-ence category status (minor child of a lawful permanent resident) The immigrant petition was pending for three years and was approved on October 1 2009 A visa number becomes available under this prefer-ence category on October 2010 The real age of the minor child is now 23 years old However his ldquoCSPA agerdquo is only 20 years old (by deducting the 3 years when the petition was pending from his age at the time the visa is available under his preference category) Hence while his real age is 23 as of October 2010 his CSPA age is only 20 years old and he is still deemed a minor child for im-migration purposes

Minor Children As Derivative Beneficiaries

Minor children are also deemed as derivative beneficiaries of their parents who have been petitioned by their siblings (aunts and uncles of the minor children) or by their par-ents (minor childrenrsquos grandparents) The same calculation provided in the immediately preceding paragraph is used to determine the age of the mi-nor child For example a child was born on October 1 1988 On March 1 1991 an immigrant petition was

filed on behalf of the minor childrsquos father by his brother thereby ac-cording him F4 preference category (brothers and sisters of US citi-zens) The immigrant petition was pending for 5 years before it was approved On October 2010 the visa numbers under this preference category become available The real age of the minor child as of October 2010 is 22 years old However the minor childrsquos CSPA age is only 17 years old (by deducting the period of time the immigrant petition was pending in this case 5 years from his age at the time the visa numbers under his fatherrsquos preference cat-egory is available)

If a childrsquos age is determined to be under 21 years old he will benefit from the CSPA provided he seeks to acquire lawful permanent residence status within one year of the date the visa became available

CSPArsquos ldquoAge Outrdquo Protections

CHEER FACTOR By Bayani San Diego Jr Philippine Daily Inquirer | LOS ANGELES 5262012 -- HOLLIDAY SCARE We thought for a while there Grammy win-ner Jennifer Holliday left would trounce Jessica The petite Pinay held her ground photo ofwnowcom

Itrsquos time to bring out not the bub-bly but the sour grapes There there We all knew how it would turn out

Consider the glaring fact that for the past four years all the winners of ldquoAmerican Idolrdquo were what have come to be known as WGWGs

White Guys With GuitarsStill we good-naturedly rolled

our eyes as Filipino-Americans held text-voting parties in the United

States We tolerated our Manila-based kababayansrsquo attempts to make a difference by voting via Facebook magicJack netTALK and Vonage hellip

In the end Jessica Sanchez the first American of Filipino-Mexican heritage to make it to the top two seemed to have as big a chance to win as Clay Aiken did in ldquoThe Ap-prenticerdquo (Actually this could be an issue of fate Aiken who lost in the latest season of ldquoThe Apprenticerdquo to Arsenio Hall had lost to Ruben Studdard in the second season of ldquoIdolrdquo)

Reality stings in US reality shows it seems

But are race and gender crucial factors in ldquoIdolrdquo as well Although America already has an African-American president it looks like itrsquos not ready for a brown-skinned Idol

Knew it

LEA Salonga ldquoAmerica wasnrsquot ready for a gay Idol eitherrdquo

ldquoI knew that would happenrdquo said Lea Salonga Filipino Broadway and West End star ldquoAmerica wasnrsquot ready for a gay Idol eitherrdquo

Four seasons back standout Adam Lambert couldrsquove been the first openly gay Idol but lost the crown to the much less stellar Kris Allen

The last male person of color to win this competition was Ruben Studdard in Season 2 the last female (of whatever color) was Jordin Sparks in Season 6

Since the duel of the two Davids (Cook and Archuleta) in Season 7 viewers have been treated to a parade of WGWG winners

Many blame the showrsquos fan base ndash mainly housewives and teenybop-pers If there isnrsquot the required tes-tosterone level in your genetic make-

up this powerful bloc will never ever vote for you Sorry Adam

JON Santos ldquoI was all set to do a Jessica Santosrdquo

Dwindling audienceIt doesnrsquot help that the audience

of the reality show once a cultural touchstone is dwindling According to initial online reports the rating for this seasonrsquos finale was 32 percent lower than last yearrsquos figure Still the finale posted the highest number of votes at 1323 million ndashindicating that the showrsquos core followers re-main as loyal and passionate as ever

Vote for the Worst (VFTW) an anti-Idol website that encour-ages netizens to vote for the worst contestant every year could claim victory because Phillips was its pick for Season 11 On the eve of the

lsquoAmerican Idolrsquo postmortem Time to bring out the sour grapes
