No Filipino left behind From the “Land of Promise” to the “Land of Promises Fulfilled.”

This is what President Benigno Aquino hopes Mindanao will become as the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) launched its Inclusive Agribusiness Program on September 8 at the SMX Convention Center in Davao City.

In his keynote speech before some 500 PBSP member-companies, donors, and government and non-government sector representatives, Aquino said the program “outlines clear strategic imperatives towards harnessing the resources of Mindanao for the common good.”

“The initiative we launch today, the Mindanao Inclusive Agribusiness Program, comes at an opportune time as we seek to transform Mindanao from the Land of Promise to the Land of Promises Fulfilled,” he said.

Prior to his keynote speech, PBSP Mindanao Regional Committee chair Paul Dominguez and Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) chair Secretary Luwalhati Antonino signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the Inclusive Agribusiness Program.

The program promotes PBSP’s Inclusive Business Imperative (IBI) campaign in Mindanao, through which the organization aims to address the income gaps in the country by incorporating the

Valen Vergara grew up in Manitoba. He is the author of Gold Mind™: Change Your Thinking, Change The World And Make History, the Co-Founder of the Young Entrepreneurs Society International™ and a member of the Manitoba Filipino Business Council.

Valen is one of a select few entrepreneurial experts in North America chosen as a cast member in the docu-movie Game Changer, a documentary about increasing performance in business and life and has had many media appearances on top radio shows like VoiceAmerica & CJOB. Valen is the Founding Director for The Worldwide Expedition for Peace & Truth Project that fundraises for humanitarian aid and development projects.

poor within the company’s value chain as suppliers, consumers, distributors, and employees.

PBSP has been advocating the application of business strategies in a multi-stakeholder effort to address poverty and create greater socio-economic opportunities for the poor in the last four decades since its formation in 1970. PBSP sees Inclusive Business (IB) as a strategic response to the challenge of rebuilding lives and rousing the dynamism inherent in the 62 percent of the total Philippine households that currently subsist on a family income of P18,000 a month.

“IB encompasses all business activities at the core of a company’s business strategy to integrate the Base-of-thePyramid (BoP) segment into any of all of its value chain, whether as suppliers, distributors, consumers, or employees in such a manner that creates shared value,” PBSP said.

“With the local BoP segment accounting for half of the country’s total expenditures, or a market valued at some P1.4 trillion, IB would ensure at least reasonable returns while it helps unclog the barriers to poverty reduction, lack of jobs, and limited investments.

Unlike social enterprises, SMEs, and the traditional programs of corporate social responsibility, IB operates at a higher scale and social impact, and integrates over

It’s time to zoom out so you can have a bird’s eye view of the business world. Now that you’re higher up and can look down, you should be able to see that most entrepreneurs are failing more than they’re selling. They do not have the end in mind; they have the start in mind.

the long term the BoP segment into its value chain,” it added.

Determined to succeed Aquino, whose first job was with PBSP, said for a long while, a good part of Mindanao has been “left in the margins.”

“Self-interest and transactionalism bred a vicious cycle of poverty, political patronage, and underdevelopment – this in turn fuelled the discontent of our brothers in the Bangsamoro.

This was the narrative we had inherited, and this was the narrative we have committed to change. We reformed the system, invested in communities, synchronized the elections of ARMM (Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao) with our local and national elections, and worked towards building genuine consensus and trust, knowing full well that these were fundamental to our pursuit of peace,” he said.

“Today, thanks to all those who have put in the long days and nights for this part of our country, our countrymen in Mindanao see a new future on the horizon: the dawn of peace, stability, and ultimately prosperity. It is therefore only right that we commit further to the realization of this promise by finding ways to maximize the long-held prospects for growth for all stakeholders. Clearly, we must boost Mindanao’s capacities, so that they themselves may catch up and contribute to our economic growth,” he added.

The President noted the “great potential of Mindanao,” especially in terms of agriculture.

“Mindanao, after all, is our country’s top source of rubber, cacao, pineapple, banana, coffee, and coconut. Over 40 percent of our food supply, and more than 30 percent of the produce we trade domestically, come from Mindanao – not to mention its strong contribution to our fisheries production,” he said.

Most important of all, he added, is the fact that Mindanao “has a people determined to succeed.”

Aquino expressed elation that government is not alone in the endeavour. “Through the Mindanao Inclusive Agribusiness Program, PBSP and its member companies and supporting agencies seek to engage the private sector to invest in Mindanao by helping build the capacities of its small farming communities, thus enabling them to capitalize on the rich resources and the many opportunities available in the region,” he said.

“The objective for all of us is to build a Mindanao that can catch up in the soonest possible time, and, by so doing, create a regime of opportunities where no Filipino is left behind,” he added.

Why most small businesses fail and how you can change that!

Just by you reading this, means you may be asking yourself a very important question: “How can a business earn more money?”

Here are the three main ways goods and services are sold; two of which, most business owners never think about because they care more about sales than they do about the lifeblood (customers) of their business.

1. The most popular answer to this question is almost always, “get more customers!” This is also known as “customer acquisition.”

However, this is not the be-all end-all of business. It’s way more expensive to get new customers than it is to resell to customers that have already bought from you.

The best time to sell a valuable product or service to someone is when he or she just bought. This leads to the second way to earn more money in your business.

2. Increase the amount of

times the same customers buys from you. In other words, get them to come back more to buy.

You will not be able to do this unless you build relationships over time with your customers.

This is also known as creating “customer loyalty.” Finally, the primary way for a business to make more money is to sell more expensive products or services.

3. This means increasing the See BUSINESS p8

Relationships in a new culture Dear Ate Anna: My sister and her husband came to Winnipeg two years ago.

They have two children who are doing well in school. Both my sister and her husband found jobs soon after they moved to Winnipeg. My sister is optimistic about their future in Canada but my brother-in-law talks about going back to the Philippines. This is causing conflict in their marriage.

I am worried that their marriage will not survive. Ate Anna, do you have any advice I can give them?

Sincerely, Mila Dear Mila: All marriages have challenges.

Research tells us that the most common areas of conflict for married couples are: money, sex, work, children and housework.

Your sister and her husband are also dealing with the many challenges of adapting to a new culture.

It is a good thing that both of

them have been able to find jobs.

Mila, did your sister work outside of the home in the Philippines?

If not, this may be contributing to the conflict in her marriage, as well. Work and family are the two most common sources of men’s identities. From the Canadian perspective, your sister is making a positive contribution to the family by getting a job. However, her husband may feel that she is “taking over” some of his responsibilities.

Or he may worry that he will have to do more around the house, like cooking or cleaning, which he may see as women’s work.

Every couple has their own dreams and ambitions for their marriage and their family. Your brother-in-law may think that his wife no longer has the same goals or beliefs as when they first married. Many men worry about the new freedoms that their wives have in Canada.

It is common for couples to have difficulty with the changes See ATE ANNA p7

SEPTEMBER 16 - 30, 2014

A change in the definition of a dependent child On August 1, 2014 Citizenship and Immigration announced a change to the definition of a dependent child in their Operational Bulletin 558 amending section 2 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations. The new definition of a dependent child includes a reduction in the basic age limit of a dependent child from under 22 to under 19 years of age; and the elimination of eligibility for older children to be considered dependent on the basis that they are students. Two other key provisions were retained: children will not be considered dependent if they are married or in a common law relationship; and children with physical or mental conditions that prevent them from being able to support themselves financially will continue to be considered as dependent.

Rationale The reason given for the change is “to enhance economic integration of immigrant dependent children in order to increase Canada’s economic potential, increase processing efficiencies, reduce the risk of fraud and promote consistency across all programs.” Readers can decide for themselves if including children up or over the age of 22, who are continuously enrolled in educational programs, usually at the post-graduate level, would somehow hinder “Canada’s economic potential.”

Common sense might conclude that such better-educated children would actually enhance

the economic potential of our country. Furthermore, the change represents a breakup of the primary family group, which can hardly be perceived as positive by anyone concerned.

The potential saving is in the checks that visa officials go through to ensure that such “older” children are still in full time class, not married or in common law relationships is a point to consider but this should be balanced against the benefits of such children to Canada rather than increased costs of due diligence and checking on the part of visa officials. Applicants and family members in Canada could rightly wonder why the processing fees and landing fees they pay do not cover such expenses.

Lock-in date prior to August 1, 2014 Beyond the reasons for the reduction in the age of dependent children, it is important for applicants and potential users to understand how and where the change is being applied. There are a number of different users who are affected by the reduction in the age of dependent children. First, there are applicants who submitted applications for permanent residence prior to August 1, 2014. The important date for such submissions is the lock-in date for immigration. This is normally the date that CIC would have stamped an application for permanent residence as complete. As long as this date is prior to August 1, 2014 the application would be processed under the old definition

of dependent children.

Transitional provisions Bulletin 558 also spelled out special consideration for applications that are first submitted to provincial nominee programs or Quebec immigration.

These applicants would first have to obtain a provincial nomination certificate or Certificat de selection de Quebec before applying to CIC for permanent residence.

However, the actual date their application(s) was accepted by the provincial authorities as complete becomes a lock in date for CIC. “Transitional provisions will apply to cases in multiple-step permanent resident immigration programs where preliminary processes are underway by August 1, 2014, but the application for permanent resident (APR) has not yet been submitted to CIC.” In other words if you had an application accepted by the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program prior to the August date, “the pre-amendment definition of dependent child” will still be used.

The new definition does not affect the sponsorship of parents and grandparents submitted prior to November 5, 2011. The original date of the submission prior to the November date would be used as the lock in date.

Other classes of applicants covered by the transitional provisions include governmentsponsored refugees and other class of protected persons (not covered here) and live-in caregivers who came into Canada on an initial work permit issued under the Live-in Caregiver Program (LCP). The lock in date becomes

the date of their initial work permit. “Children of applicants whose initial work permit application under the LCP was received before August 1, 2014 are to be assessed by CIC using the pre-amendment definition of dependent child, even if their complete APR is received by CIC on or after August 1, 2014.”

New definition of dependent child The new definition of a dependent child is for applications accepted with a lock-in date after August 1, 2014. The new definition is as follows: A “dependent child” in respect to a parent, means a child who is either • “The biological child of the parent, if the child has not been adopted by a person other than the spouse or common-law partner of the parent, or • Is the adopted child of the parent; and • Is less than 19 years of age and is not a spouse or common law partner, or • Is 19 years of age or older and has depended substantially on the financial support of the parent since before the age of 19 and is unable to be financially selfsupporting due to a physical or mental condition.”

New definition of a dependent child in immigration forms The new definition of a dependent child, for applications with a lock in date after August 1st, has become part of the forms that applicants must complete for their permanent resident applications.

The primary form for applicants, the Generic Application Form for

Canada (IMM0008), has been altered to include the change. The specific reference is to describing the “Dependent Type.” The options displayed on the pulldown menu include both reference to the old “Type A Dependent,” “Type B Dependent” and “Type C Dependent” in addition to the two types of dependent child introduced by the August amendment: “Type 1. The child is under the age of 19, is not married and is not a spouse or common law partner” and “Type 2. The child is 19 or older, has depended substantially on the financial support of a parent since before the age of 19, and is unable to be financially self-supporting due to physical or mental condition.”

The change in the age of dependents is something that we must now live with, along with the transitional provisions and other exceptions. You are invited to download Bulletin 588 for yourself if you have specific concerns or questions.

Otherwise, like so many things in the immigration world, you can always contact an immigration lawyer or licensed immigration consultant to help you make sense out of the changes and whether not exceptions apply.

Lose weight with feng shui

Lots of people struggle with losing weight. We try everything and stick to nothing. We often become discouraged when diets don’t work and resolutions fail.

If that’s happened to you, then maybe you should put your house on a diet instead.

If weight loss has been unsuccessful, frustrated dieters will be glad to know they can make small adjustments to their home that can help them succeed in the battle with weight loss. Your body is your spiritual home and holds your inner energy and our houses hold our bodies. Interestingly, many people find that when they clean out and clear out the excess clutter in their homes, they also feel better physically. Feng shui is another way of achieving what you want in life regardless of whether it’s attracting a love interest or losing weight. That’s

because we are all products of our environment, and if our environment is stuffed then we will be, too.

Every scientist understands that all energy in the universe is either a positive or negative energy. The same is true in feng shui with all the energies of the earth being either “yin” or “yang.” Yin energy is dark, cold, and passive energy. Yang is light, warm, and active energy. Balancing the two complementary but opposing energies can produce results that we want, and their harmony is crucial to good feng shui. With these rules in mind, it’s possible to succeed with your weight-loss goals if diets have failed using the positive and negative energies of feng shui.

Too many houses have yin energy in the house and the kitchen

energy is excessively yang. When energy is out of balance, it results in negative consequences. If too much attention or yang energy is given to the kitchen, excess weight occurs because of the appetite stimulation. Conversely, if the house suffers from too much clutter, the house has excess yin energy and the body responds in kind.

For the simplest way to lose weight, focus on making the kitchen yin, to suppress appetite, and infuse the rest of the house with yang energy (raise energy, reduce clutter) to raise metabolism.

Here are tips to use feng shui energy correctly for a slimmer you: 1. Avoid red and yellow colours in the kitchen. These colours are yang, active colours and stimulate hunger. They’re also the two most popular colours used in fast-food restaurants.

White is another colour that’s appetite stimulating and very commonly used in restaurants.

Many gourmet restaurants serve giant portions on huge white

Maybe weight isn’t about what you eat, but where you eat –Kathryn Weber platters and this is very appetite stimulating.

2. Use yin energy in the kitchen to curb appetite. Use the yin colours of blue and even black in the kitchen to decorate and buy black or blue-coloured plates to help suppress hunger

and make you feel full faster.

These yin colours in the kitchen lower the energy level of the kitchen and won’t over stimulate your appetite.

3. Don’t enter your home through a door that opens into See FENG SHUI p8

From page 5 that are required when adapting to a new culture. Communicating about these issues and working together to find solutions is one way couples can make life better.

However, this may be a new and unfamiliar way of solving problems. Many men are used to being the decision-makers in the family.

It is the transition from old ways to new ways that is the

PILIPINO EXPRESS

difficult part of any change.

As time passes, the “new� way of doing things becomes more familiar and feels more comfortable. Statistics show that women often adapt to the new way of doing things more easily than men.

People often hesitate to get support when they are having trouble coping with change in their lives. Some men feel ashamed that they are having difficulty finding a place in the new society and so their family traditions

become more important to them as one thing that is familiar. It might be helpful for your brotherin-law to talk to other men in your community who have already found a balance in their marriages.

Ate Anna also has another suggestion. SERC is offering a series of six workshops called Issues for Couples in a New

They will be held on six Saturday mornings, starting October 18th at The Seven Oaks Adult Learning and Settlement Services Centre at 950 Jefferson Avenue. Child minding is available for children who are too young to stay at home on their own.

Personal safety – Part three In the last edition of your Pulis Kababayan, we discussed about the Reduced-Speed School Zones (RSSZ), which is being enforced right now within the duration of the school year (September-June).

For some it is an irritating revision but for the majority, especially for parents, it is an added assurance that our children will be safe in their travel to and from and while they are in school. In this edition of your Pulis Kababayan I will be clarifying some salient part of the RSSZ and the rest will be the continuation of our personal safety discussion.

Concerning the new RSSZ, there is a lot of confusion arising from reading and identifying the signs and the difficulty of breaking the habit of the day to day speed within the 171 schools that were declared under the RSSZ. Karamihan sa mga eskuwelahan situated on a major road way (eg. McPhillips Street, Pembina Highway, Portage Avenue and Main Street) ay hindi nakasakop sa RSSZ ngunit mayroong mga school na situated sa secondary feeder roads (eg.

Burrows Avenue, Sinclair St. at Jefferson Avenue) ang sakop ng RSSZ. Isang magandang halimbawa ay ang Faith Academy (Grade 5-12) sa Jefferson Street na nasa ilalim sa RSSZ ngunit ang eskuwelanhan na Victory School (Kindergarten-Grade 5) ay hindi sakop ng bagong reduced speed zone. Karamihan sa mga

From page 6 the kitchen. Many overweight people enter their home through the kitchen. Doing so stimulates the desire to eat. Use another door instead so you won’t be prompted to think about food as soon as you walk into the house.

One success story came from a couple that took steps to block off their kitchen that looked into the family room where they watched TV. Being there just prompted them to watch TV and eat. Use a curtain or a folding screen to block views of the kitchen and curb thoughts of food and eating.

4. Improve the yang energy of your home. Clear out excess clutter and anything that’s old and unused to promote healthy

kababayan na aking nakasalamuha ay nalilito dahil sa paiba-ibang panuntunan ng bagong batas.

Ang sabi nila ay “Bakit ang eskuwelahan na mayroong mga mas batang estudyante ay hindi nasasakop samantalang ang mas may nakatatandang mga estudytante ay sakop?”

Mayroong mga parameters na ginagamit ang ating local na pamahalaan in consultation with the Manitoba Highway Traffic Board kung paano isasailalim ang isang School sa RSSZ. The best bet is for us to be cautious and read the signs along the route that we are traveling. I would like to reiterate that the maximum allowed speed in an RSSZ here in the City of Winnipeg is set to 30 kph at upang maging mas smooth ang implementation ng RSSZ ay mas makakabuti sa ating mga kababayan na tumawag sa 311 just in case we observe signs that are not visible due to the manner of placement along the roadway, such as being blocked by tree branches and hydro posts, which make it difficult to be seen by motorists.

Bus safety Sa mga nakaraang edition ng aking kolumn (before the RSSZ) ay aking tinalakay kung paano tayo magiging safe sa pang-araw-araw na pamumuhay at paglalakbay sa ating vibrant na siyudad. In this edition I will brush up on how to be safe while we are travelling by bus or driving our personal vehicles.

yang energy in the home and in your body. Our homes are often “weighed down” by the clutter in them just as we are by our excess weight. Overweight is your body’s way of holding on to excess. Clearing out the clutter just might be what you need to stimulate the energy in your home and your body and will boost the potential of letting go of your own extra weight.

5. Get rid of old clothes.

When we want to create a new image of ourselves it means we need to take steps to eliminate the old image. One of the surest ways to do this is to get rid of our old fashions. We stay “stuck” at our present weight and image by hanging on to old clothing. Even holding on to that pair of jeans that used to fit is a way to keep us

For our kababayans who travel by bus, it is safer to wait for our ride in well lit and busy bus stops, lalo na kapag sa gabi na kung saan kakaunti na ang mga tao sa kalye.

Here in Winnipeg mayroong mga street people ay natutulog sa mga bus shack na hindi busy sa gabi o kapag lumamig na ang panahon.

If we encounter aggressive street people in at a bus stop or a bus shack, don’t engage them in an argument that might escalate to something that is unpleasant.

Instead, just phone 911 for police assistance in case the situation becomes volatile and physical.

Commuters should be familiar with the bus number of buses on their routes so that making a “just in case” more realistic and adaptable.

Every bus in the city is equipped with surveillance cameras sa loob at maging sa labas ng bus kung kaya’t lahat ng pangyayari ay namomonitor. At kung sakaling mayroon violent incident, ang kapulisan ay mabilis na nakikilala ang mga taong involved. Bus drivers are equipped with radios and cellular phones, which give them the capability to make emergency communication with the police or other emergency services in case a situation arises.

If abuse or harassment takes place within the bus or in its immediate vicinity, our kababayans should report the matter to the bus driver who is trained not only in driving but also in how to react in certain types of emergency situations.

It is important for commuters to be mindful of the people who get on and off the bus with them, kasi kung sakaling mayroong sumusunod sa atin ay madali

in our current weight. Be ruthless and pare down your clothing to what fits and looks the very best — and is fashionable. They say not to buy new clothes when you’re trying to lose weight and I disagree. Once you see how great you look in some new fashions, you might be more motivated to lose.

Accumulation has become a way of life for many people — often turning eating and shopping into a recreational activity.

Unfortunately, the accumulation is often symbolized by body weight. By paying attention to our surroundings and making them more supportive of our goals, such as losing weight, we are more in harmony with our environment and ourselves.

Using the two energies of yin and yang where appropriate is another powerful step to creating the healthy home and body we desire.

Here in Winnipeg, the majority of people are honest and trustworthy; they usually bring things that they find left inside the bus to the driver. However, there are also some incidents wherein valuables inside the purse or bag are removed before being returned to the driver, or worse, thrown in a garbage bin.

Personal vehicles For those who travel around the city using their personal vehicles, it is a plus factor to know the existing traffic restrictions and road situations in our usual routes para mas maiplano natin ang ating oras. Being aware of the traffic laws such as impaired driving, the ban on the use of cellular phones and other hand held electronic devices while driving a vehicle, and speed and parking restrictions, will spare us not only of some headache but also sakit sa bulsa

BUSINESS...

From page 4 average transaction size with your products and services. A very small fraction of businesses and or entrepreneurs can do this successfully. Here’s why: The value of your business is in the eye of the beholder. It’s not about how good you think your product or service is; it’s about how much someone is willing to pay for it. The perception of your customers rules all! For example, it’s the same reason why we buy one T-shirt from a store for a hundred dollars and another from a different store for five dollars, when they’re imported and made from the same place. So in order to sell more expensive products

from ticket fines.

Kapag nagpark na tayo ng ating sasakyan, mas makakabuti na siguraduhin nating secure at locked ang ating vehicle. We should consider parking in well lit parking lots and streets. Also, don’t leave valuables such as purses, cellular phones, laptops and money in plain view, kasi marami ang insidente na binabasag ang salamin ng sasakyan para makuha lamang ang mga ito. And the worst is that a loonie or a toonie might cost us our MPI deductibles for the window replacement or other consequential damages arising from the break and enter of the vehicle.

Hangang sa muli mga kababayan, pagpalain nawa tayo ng Diyos.

Siya ang hinihiling ng mga kinikilig na estudyante para mag-concert sa kanilang eskuwelahan. Bata at matanda ay nahuhumaling kay DJ, at ang pinakaimportante ay kumikita ang mga prodyuser ng kaniyang mga shows dito at maging sa ibang bansa man.

Star Magic ang humahawaknagmamaniobra sa career ni Daniel Padilla.

Lahat ng transaksiyon tungkol sa pinakasikat na batang aktorheartthrob ngayon ay tanging Star Magic lang ang nagdedesisyon.

Negosyante ang Star Magic, law of demand and supply lang ang kanilang pinaiiral, natural lang na dahil napakainit ngayon ni Daniel Padilla ay samantalahin naman nila ang pagkita mula sa pagaalaga nila sa teenstar.

Concert, TVC (TV commercial), pelikula, TV show, mga shows sa probinsiya at print ads ay labas si Karla Estrada.

Star Magic ang nagdedesisyon sa pangunguna nina Direk Johnny Manahan at Mariole

Alberto, si Luz ang kaniyang road manager, wala uli sa eksena si Karla Estrada.

Alam namin ang presyo ni Daniel Padilla para sa isang full concert, sa pagkanta sa mga fiesta, nagbabago ang presyo kung sa malalapit na probinsiya lang ang imbitasyon o tawid-dagat na.

Pero hindi ipinagdadamot ng Star Magic ang kanilang sikat na alaga kay Karla Estrada.

Pinapayagan nilang magbook ang aktres basta walang masasagasaan.

Noong magbakasyon si Daniel Padilla sa Hong Kong kasama ang kaniyang ina at mga kapatid at ilang kaibigan ay nag-ilusyon ang pinakasikat na heartthrob na puwede siyang maglagalag sa lahat ng lugar nang hindi siya makikilala.

Naka-jacket siyang may hoody, naka-shades pa siya, nagsuot pa siya ng facial mask na akala mo siya nasa operating room.

Noong una ay epektibo ang kaniyang porma pero puwede ba namang hindi man lang siya magsalita habang kasama See CRISTY p12

Iyon na! Isang grupo ng mga Pilipino ang nakarinig sa kaniya, lumapit agad ang mga ito kay Daniel, siniguradong siya nga ang nagsalita. Bigo ang planong malayang pamamasyal ni Daniel, kahit saan siya magpunta ay kumalat na ang balita, naagaw na ang kaniyang kapribaduhan.

Pero isang bagay na maipupuri kay Daniel Padilla ay ang hindi niya ipinagdadamot ang kaniyang panahon sa mga kababayan nating humahanga sa kaniya.

Sabi ni Karla, “Takot na takot siyang may nabibigo, alam niya na lagot siya sa akin kapag may nangyaring ganoon. napakaliit ng showbiz para hindi ko iyon malaman.

“Kabisado na niya ang litanya ko kapag umaalis siya ng bahay, siya na ang nagre-recite ng mga lines ko, kabisadung-kabisado na niya!” tawa nang tawang kuwento ni Karla Estrada. *** Matagal naming nakakuwentuhan kahapon nang umaga sa telepono si Derek Ramsay. Malungkot ang hunk actor. Nag-aalala ang kaniyang boses. Ipinagtataka niya kung paano nakukunsensiya ng ibang tao ang pagpapanggap at paglalabas ng mga pabrikadong kuwentong milya-milya ang layo sa katotohanan.

Umalis siya sa bansa na bitbit ang kasong pinagdadaanan niya ngayon. Mahabang salaysayin pa

ang tatakbuhin ng pagsasagutan nila sa piskalya ng ina ng kaniyang anak na si Austin, wala siyang planong talikuran ang problema.

Pero isang problema na naman ang lumutang na kailangan niyang linawin: ang pagpapanggap ng isang tao sa social media bilang siya, kumplikado ang pinaplanong gawin ng kaniyang poser.

Pinaaalalahanan niya ang ating mga kababayan na huwag papatol-kakagat sa anumang negosyong iniaalok ng mapagpanggap, kundi siya agad magsasalita ay baka makapangloko ito, gamit ang pangalan niya.

Pero ang pinakamasakit ay ang pagsasabi ng poser na tumatanggap din siya ng indecent proposal. Kulang na lang na presyuhan pa nito ang panawagang nagbebenta siya ng laman. Isang malaking kalokohan, dahil ipinanganak man siyang nakaririwasa sa buhay ay natutuhan niyang magsikap para kumita ng perang malinis na mula sa kaniyang pagsasakripisyo.

Mula noong bata pa ang hunk actor ay nagpalipat-lipat siya ng eskuwelahan sa Amerika at sa Europa. Malungkot man ang mamuhay nang mag-isa ay tinanggap niya ang hamon para sa murang edad pa lang ay mapagaralan na niyang kumilos ang wala siyang inaasahan.

• Toni Gonzaga sa Celestine Concert • Jodi Sta. Maria – blooming Excited at kinakabahan ang tinaguriang Ultimate Multimedia Star na si Toni Gonzaga sa kaniyang nalalapit na concert na Celestine: Toni Gonzaga na gaganapin sa SM-MOA Arena sa October 3. Bale 15th anniversary celebration na rin ito ng singer sa showbiz.

Sa presscon ng naturang concert ay hiningi ng press ang magiging reaksyon ng dalaga kung sakali bang magpropose ang boyfriend na si Paul Soriano sa gabing iyon.

“Tingin ko hindi niya gagawin iyon” pakli ni Toni. “Baka iyak lang ako nang iyak niyan. Hindi na ako makakanta,” sagot pa ng aktres.

Hindi muna nila iniisip ang kasal dahil ayaw nilang makisabay sa mga celebrities na magpapakasal this year at sa susunod na taon. “Fully booked na ang venue; hindi na ako makikipag-agawan” pabirong hirit pa ni Toni.

Samantala, magiging guest si Piolo Pascual sa naturang show. Malaki ang kinalaman ni Piolo sa career ng dalaga dahil sa nagkasama sila sa isang softdrink commercial noong nagsisimula pa lang ang singer sa showbiz. Dahil sa commercial na iyon ay nakilala si Toni at doon nagsimula ang magandang takbo ng kaniyang career. Ang huli nilang pelikulang Starting Over Again ay tinuring na second highest gross earning sa showbiz at tumabo talaga nang husto sa takilya. Click na click kumbaga ang tandem.

Dapat sana ay surprise guest lang ang aktor sa naturang concert pero nagdesisyon na rin sila na ireveal ang tungkol dito. Tuwang tuwa ang producer ng Celestine: Toni Gonzaga concert na si Pops Fernandez ng DLS Production dahil sa malakas na bentahan ng tickets nito.

Guest din sina Vice Ganda

at ang kapatid ni Toni na si Alex Gonzaga. Magkakaroon ng showdown ang magkapatid.

Palagi kasi silang ginagawan ng rivalry kaya naisip nila na ituloy ang labanan sa gabing iyon.

Tiyak na masaya at aabangan ang naturang production number ng dalawa.

Si Paolo Valenciano na anak ni Gary Valenciano ang magdidirek at si Homer Flores naman ang musical director ng show. *** Blooming si Jodi Sta. Maria nang humarap sa presscon ng Cosmo Body na ginanap kamakailan. Bale pangalawang taon ng endorser si Jodi ng Cosmo Body at sinabi ng aktres na effective ang slimming pills na ginagamit niya sa kasalukuyan.

Sexy at lalong gumanda ang aktres ngayon. Sa nabanggit na presscon ay hindi nakaligtas si Jodi sa tanong ng press people about her lovelife.

Kahit ayaw niyang pag-usapan ang topic ay marami pa rin ang nagtatanong sa estado ng relasyon nila ni Jolo Revilla ngayon. May balita kasi na nagbreak na ang dalawa. Inamin ni Jodi na may kaunting problema pero maayos na ang lahat ngayon. Hiningan din siya ng reaksyon tungkol sa mga nanglait at pumuna sa damit na isinuot niya sa nakaraang Star Magic Ball pero very nice siya sa lahat ng puna at puri about it.

Tungkol naman sa kanilang kilig-serye na Please Be Careful with my Heart, kasama si Sir Chief ay wala pang masabi si Jodi kung hanggan kailan ang itatagal ng show. Napakarami pa ring tumatangkilik sa serye at napakataas pa rin ang ratings na nakukuha nito. Sinabi rin ni Jodi na marami pang stars ang lalabas doon pero hindi pa puwedeng sabihin kung sino-sino ang mga iyon.

Toni Gonzaga May nagbirong press sa aktres na mukhang isa na siya sa pinakamayamang artista ngayon dahil sa mga show at endorsement niya sa kasalakuyan, pero ngiti lamang ang sagot niya dito.

Happy at contented sa buhay si Jodi Sta Maria ngayon.

Pero ako pa rin ang naglilinis ng bedroom ko,” pahayag ni Derek.

May kuneksiyon ang kaniyang kuwento sa kabastusang ipinaaako sa kaniya ngayon ng naturang poser. Nagtiyaga nga naman siya nang maraming taon para mabuhay nang disente, pero winawasak ng nagpapanggap na iyon ang nakaraan niyang pagsisikap.

Hindi niya kailangang magbenta ng katawan. Sobrasobra ang kabuhayan nila para isipin niya ang ganoon, kaya nananawagan siya sa ating mga kababayan na huwag bigyan ng dignidad ang pinalulutang ng kaniyang poser.

Makabuluhan ang social media para sa mga taong marunong magmaniobra nito, pero kalbaryo ang social media dahil sa mga taong nagsasamantala sa kanilang kapuwa. Impiyerno ang social media dahil sa mga taong walang iniisip kundi ang wasakin ang buhay ng mga taong nananahimik. *** Humihingi ng panalangin ngayon si Sharon Cuneta para sa sitwasyon ng kaniyang inang si Mommy Elaine. Dala ng pagkakaedad ay marami nang dinaramdam ang ina ng Megastar, namayat na siya nang husto, sumailalim pa sa operasyon

noong isang araw lang.

Mahal ng mga manunulat si Mommy Elaine. Napakalaki ng ginagampanan niyang papel sa tagumpay bilang singer at aktres ni Sharon.

Sa lahat ng mga sikat na personalidad ay si Sharon lang ang nakakaalala sa mga manunulat sa lahat ng okasyon, Kaarawan, Pasko, Valentine’s Day. Aminado si Sharon, ang kaniyang tagapangasiwa at nagpapaalala sa kaniya sa mga ganoong aspeto ay si Mommy Elaine, ang kaniyang dakilang ina.

Kung suporta ang paguusapan para sa pangarap ng isang anak ay wala kaming maibubutas kay Mommy Elaine.

Tuwing may concert si Sharon ay nasa harapang upuan sila ng namayapang si Mayor Pablo Cuneta.

January 6 ang kaarawan ni Sharon. Nobyembre pa lang noon ay kinausap na ni Mayor Cuneta ang aming kaibigang si Tita Flory Estrada, “Kailangan sa madaling-araw ng birthday mismo ni Sharon, mabubungaran na niya sa tapat ng bahay namin ang bago niyang van.”

sariling kuwarto.

Si Sharon Cuneta ang pinakaunang artistang Pilipino na nagkaroon ng van na mistulang bahay na kumpleto sa mga kagamitan. iyon ang ginagamit nito sa shooting at taping.

Kaligayahan na nina Mayor Pablo at Mommy Elaine na kumportable ang kanilang bunso sa pagtatrabaho.

Ang depresyong umaatake ngayon kay Sharon Cuneta ay nag-uugat sa mga taong mahal na mahal niya na kinatatakutan niyang mawala sa kaniya.

Maaaring bilang aktres ay mayroon pang mas magaling kesa kay Sharon Cuneta, puwede rin na ang kaniyang boses ay kayang daigin ng iba, pero bilang anak ay may katangian ang Megastar na kaniyang-kaniya lang.

Mabuting anak si Sharon Cuneta. *** Isang magandang balita ang hatid sa amin ng isang source.

Siguradong matutuwa ang mga tagahanga ni Sharon Cuneta dahil sa mga panahon ngayon ng pananahimik ng Megastar ay may ginagawa na siyang positibong paraan para sa pagbabawas niya ng timbang.

Kakambal ng walang operasyong pagsisikap ni Sharon ang pagpreno na sa kaniyang mga kinahiligang gawin noong atakihin siya ng depresyon.

Bawas sa pagkain, masarap na tulog, ehersisyo. Takal na ang kaniyang pagkain ngayon, hindi na puwedeng ihain sa harapan niya ang isang buong lechon de leche, kailangan niyang tanggapin nang pikit-mata na para sa katuparan ng ating minimithi ay mayroon tayong tatalikuran.

Kailangan niya na ring matulog sa tamang oras. Insomniac kasi si Sharon, madaling-araw na siya kung matulog, malaking dagdag pala sa timbang ang inaabot ng mga taong kulang sa masarap na pahinga sa gabi.

Kayang-kayang pagsakripisyuhan ni Sharon ang proseso dahil gusto niyang bumalik ang kaniyang pigura sa dati.

Hindi man eksaktong ganoon ay makakaramdam siya ng ginhawa at pasasalamat dahil nabawasan.

Kailangan niya ng ehersiyo dahil wala siyang ganoon sa loob ng kaniyang bahay. May elevator sila, pati nga ang kaniyang kakainin ay may sariling makina paakyat sa kanilang kuwarto, hindi napapagpag ang kaniyang katawan.

“Paniguradong mahihirapan si Sharon. Ang mga nakasanayan nating gawin, hahanap-hanapin natin iyon. Pero kung mayroon tayong pinapangarap, kung mayroon tayong tina-target na weight, kailangan nating magsacrifice.

“Maganda iyong sinabi ng isang dietician. Natuturuan pala ang bituka. Nasasanay. Kahit pa dati tayong kumakain nang todo, eh, puwedeng bawasan iyon sa paraang hindi tayo nahihirapan.

“Basta pala sagana tayo sa tubig, sa prutas, makakaya nating tanggalin ang dating nakasanayan

Unit 78 Mandalay Drive Winnipeg MB R2P 1V8 na natin. Ganoon siguro ang prosesong pinagdadaanan ngayon ni Sharon,” maimpormasyon pang komento ng aming kausap.

Isang araw ay gugulatin na lang daw tayo ng Megastar. Maninibago tayo sa kaniyang hitsura. Disiplina at sakripisyo ang dalawang bagay na pinanghahawakan ngayon ni Sharon Cuneta para maisakatuparan ang inaasinta niyang timbang.

Ngayon pa lang daw, ayon sa mga nagmamasid, ay kailangan nang alagaang mabuti ni KC Concepcion ang kaniyang pangangatawan.

Tulad ng kaniyang ina ay big bone si KC, madaling lumusog, nasa kanilang lahi ang pagiging obese.

Taas-baba rin ang timbang noon ni Sharon Cuneta, pero agad na nakababawi ang Megastar, bago magsimula ang kaniyang gagawing pelikula ay sumasailalim na siya sa pagdadiet.

Siguradong alam na ni KC ang gagawin ngayon sa kaniyang pigura, mag-iingat na ang young actress, isang matinding leksiyon na para sa kaniya ang depresyong pinagdadaanan ngayon ng kaniyang mommy. *** Ang dami-daming kapaniwalaang-Pinoy na hindi dapat ginagawa ang isang ikakasal.

Lahat ng iyon ay nakararating na sa kaalaman ngayon ni Marian Rivera.

Una, bawal na bawal isukat ng isang ikakasal ang kaniyang bridal gown. Titingnan lang niya iyon, pagmamasdan lang, dahil kapag isinukat daw ng bride ang kaniyang damit-pangkasal ay magkakaroon ng aberya.

Hindi raw matutuloy ang kasal. Puwedeng ang bride ang magkaroon ng problema, puwedeng ang groom, puwedeng kahit sino sa magkabilang pamilya.

Hindi rin daw pinapayuhan ang mga ikakasal na bumiyahe nang malayo, bawal ang paglalakbay, malalapit na lugar lang daw ang puwede nilang

puntahan dahil lapitin sila ng aksidente.

Maraming hindi na naniniwala sa mga ganoong kapaniwalaan.

May mga bride na nga ngayon na nagpi-fitting ng kanilang damitpangkasal, mas mabuti na raw iyon kesa sa mapintasan sila sa isang napakahalagang araw sa kanilang buhay kung maluwag o masikip ang isusuot nila papunta sa altar.

Pero pinaniniwalaan iyon ni Marian Rivera. Ayon sa magandang bride ay hindinghindi niya isusukat ang kaniyang damit-pangkasal. Mas maganda na nga namang huwag na para makaiwas sila ni Dingdong Dantes sa kanegatibuhan.

Ngayon pa lang ay parang nakikini-kinita na namin kung gaano kaganda ang bride na lalakad papunta sa altar sa kanilang dakilang araw ni Dingdong Dantes.

Maraming pinagdaanan ang relasyong ito na napagtagumpayan nila, hawakkamay nilang nilabanan ang mga paghusga, kaya taas-noo nilang puwedeng sabihin ang “I do” sa nalalapit nilang pagtataling-puso. *** Siguro naman ay matitigil na ang mga kababayan natin sa pag-iisip na imaginary girlfriend lang ang sinasabing karelasyon ni Enchong Dee. Napakarami kasing nagkokomento na walang katotohanan na mayroon nang karelasyong babae ngayon ang guwapong hunk actor.

Kuwento-kuwento lang daw iyon, imbento lang niya, dahil ang mas pinagkukuwentuhan nga ay ang kaduda-duda niyang kasarian. Pero totoong tao pala si Samantha Louis. Isinama niya ang babae sa Star Magic Ball, may girlfriend na nga pala si Enchong Dee. Nagdesisyon siyang isama na ang kaniyang girlfriend sa okasyon dahil kahit daw naman kasi ano ang sabihin niya ay pinagdududahan pa rin naman ang pagkakaroon niya ng karelasyon.

Bayani Ang mga tauhan at mga pangyayari sa kuwentong ito ay kathang-isip lamang at hindi tumutukoy sa mga tunay na tao at sitwasyon.

HINAHANGAD ni Martin na tanghalin siyang bayani.

Kung pagbabatayan niya ang napapanood sa TV, napakikinggan sa radyo, nababasa at napapanood sa Web at nababasa sa pahayagan, ang itanghal na bayani ang nagbibigay-kaganapan sa pagkatao at nagbibigay-kabuluhan sa buhay ng isang tao.

Gusto rin niyang magkaroon ng kabuluhan ang kaniyang buhay.

Gusto rin niyang lumikha ng kasaysayan.

SI Martin ay 25-anyos, binata at guro. Nagtuturo siya sa pampublikong hayskul sa lungsod nila.

May girlfriend na si Martin – Mr. Garcia kapag pormal ang tawag. Isa rin itong guro sa pinagtuturuan niyang paaralan.

Hindi pa sila nagpapakasal nito dahil kumukuha pa siya ng master’s degree. Tumutulong din siya sa pamilya. Isa pa, hindi pa naman masasabing nagkakaedad na sila upang magmadali sa pagpapakasal. Ang kaniyang girlfriend ay 22-anyos.

Ang ama ni Martin ay tsuper ng pampasaherong dyip. Ang ina niya ay nag-aasikaso ng bahay nila. Noong nag-aaral pa siya, naghugas siya ng sasakyan upang may pambaon at pambili ng mga kailangan sa paaralan. Hindi siya nagbayad ng matrikula dahil iskolar siya. Hindi hadlang ang lumang damit at sapatos upang ipagpatuloy niya ang pag-aaral.

Malimit, nagtitiis siya ng gutom sa paaralan.

Ngayon, tinutulungan naman niya ang mga nakababatang kapatid na makapagtapos din ng pag-aaral. Tumutulong din siya na matugunan ang mga pangangailangan sa bahay. Siya ang panganay sa kanilang limang magkakapatid. Bago kumuha ng master’s degree, hinintay muna niyang makapagtapos ng kolehiyo ang kapatid na sumunod sa kaniya, babae. Sa kasalukuyan, nagtatrabaho na ito sa Makati City at tumutulong na rin sa kanilang pamilya.

Hindi malaki ang suweldo ng guro kaya tipid na tipid siya.

Hindi tuloy niya mayakag kumain sa mamahaling restawran ang girlfriend o mabigyan ito ng magandang regalo. Hanggang sa fast food restaurant lamang sila kumakain. Hanggang pitaka lamang ang naireregalo niya sa girlfriend.

Nauunawaan naman siya ng girlfriend. Sinabihan pa nga siya nitong magkaniya-kaniyang bayad na lamang sila sa kantina ng paaralan. Kung minsan, nagbabaon pa ito ng pagkain.

Nalilibre na siya ng tanghalian.

Malaking tipid sa kaniya iyon.

“Sige, tulungan mo muna ang pamilya n’yo. Kailangan nila ng tulong mo. Saka, para rin naman sa atin pag nakapagtapos ka ng Master’s,” sabi pa nito.

Kapag nakapagtapos na rin ng pag-aaral, nagtatrabaho na at tumutulong na rin sa kanilang pamilya ang pangatlo sa kanilang magkakapatid, puwede na silang magpakasal ng kaniyang girlfriend. Nakamit na rin niya sa panahong iyon ang kaniyang master’s degree.

Alam din naman ni Martin na kinikilala ang serbisyo ng mga guro sa sangkatauhan. Gayunman, isa lamang siya sa marami, katulad lamang sa napakaraming overseas Filipino workers, na tinatawag na mga bagong bayani, na hindi na pinapansin ang pagiging bayani bilang mga indibiduwal.

Gusto niyang magkaroon ng sariling identidad, iyong ipinakikita ang kaniyang mukha at binabanggit ang kaniyang pangalan sa TV, radyo, Web at pahayagan.

Naaawa siya sa mga magsasaka, mangingisda, tsuper, empleado, obrero at iba pang karaniwan ang hanapbuhay, maging sa mga kapuwa-guro niya. Mahalaga ang papel na ginagampanan ng mga ito sa pang-araw-araw na buhay ng mga tao. Pero bilang mga indibiduwal, hindi itinatampok ang mga ito sa TV, radyo, Web at pahayagan.

May kasamang awa ang paghanga niya sa mga siyentipiko, duktor at iba pang tahimik na gumagawa pero malaki ang naiaambag sa kapakanan ng marami. Hindi kilala ang karamihan sa mga ito. Kung may nakikilala man, kakaunti lamang ang mga nakakikilala palibhasa’y hindi laging itinatampok sa TV, radyo, Web at pahayagan.

Kahit panay ang pag-iisip niya kung paano tatanghaling bayani, hindi niya pinababayaan ang kaniyang pagtuturo. Gusto talaga niyang matuto ang mga kabataan para sa kapakanan ng mga ito.

Hindi rin niya pinababayaan ang kanilang pamilya. Gusto niyang mapaayos ang kalagayan ng mga ito.

Hindi rin niya pinababayaan ang kaniyang girlfriend. Gusto

niyang maging masaya ito.

Kahit ang kaniyang kalusugan ay hindi niya pinababayaan.

Hindi rin niya ipinagsasabi kahit kanino ang hangarin niyang tanghalin siyang isang bayani – kahit sa kaniyang pamilya o sa kaniyang girlfriend.

Sa isip niya, magugulat na lamang ang mga nakakikilala sa kaniya kapag itinampok na siya sa TV, radyo, Web at pahayagan bilang bayani.

MAKARAAN ang matamang pag-iisip, ayaw na niyang maghangad na tanghalin siyang bayani.

Ayaw niyang magkaroon pa ng digmaan, maraming taong mamatay, maraming taong mahirapan, maraming bata na hindi makamit ang ganap na potensiyal para lamang tanghalin siyang bayani.

Ayaw niyang may kapuwa siya na manganib pa ang buhay sa bagyo, lindol o sunog para lamang tanghalin siyang bayani.

Tunay ang pagmamalasakit niya sa kaniyang kapuwa.

Bukas din naman ang kaniyang isipan na hindi lahat ng nagliligtas ng kapuwa ay naghahangad lamang na tanghaling bayani.

Nangyari na ito sa kaniya noong bata pa siya. Iniligtas niya ang isang kapuwa-bata na muntik nang malunod habang naliligo sa ilog. Hinila niya ito patungo sa pampang. Ang nasa isip lamang niya noon ay iligtas ang kapuwabata, wala nang iba pa. Ni hindi pa nga niya pinapansin noon ang salitang bayani. Kahit nang lumaki na sila, hindi niya itinuring iyon na napakalaking utang na loob ng kaniyang kapuwa-bata. Lalo namang hindi na niya babanggitin iyon ngayon dahil napakatagal na niyon. Malinis pa noon ang ilog at sa ilog naglalagi ang mga bata.

Bukas din naman ang

kaniyang isipan na puwedeng pinaghuhusay ng isang tao ang ginagawa, na nakatutulong

PAGE 19 at nagbibigay-kaligayahan sa marami, dahil gusto lamang talaga nitong paghusayin ang anumang ginagawa, hindi ang pangunahing dahilan ay upang tanghaling bayani. Siya nga, kahit hindi bigyan ng pagkilala, paghuhusayin pa rin niya ang pagtuturo. Bukod sa nagmamalasakit siya sa kaniyang mga estudyante, gusto rin naman niyang mapaghusay ang anumang ginagawa. Kaya nga kumukuha siya ng master’s degree. Binabalak din niyang tumuloy sa pagkuha ng doctorate upang tumaas pa ang kaniyang posisyon at makapag-ambag sa larangan ng edukasyon.

Bukas din naman ang kaniyang isipan na puwedeng nagmamalasakit lamang talaga ang isang tao kaya tumutulong sa kapuwa nito, hindi ang pangunahing dahilan ay upang itampok sa TV, radyo, Web at pahayagan bilang bayaning Sundan sa pahina 20

EH KASI, PINOY!

SEPTEMBER 16 - 30, 2014

Mahigit anim na linggo na lang, gaganapin na ang civic elections sa Winnipeg. Siyam ang nagpahayag ng kanilang interes sa pagka-Mayor. Lima lamang ang higit nagpapakita ngayon ng kanilang kakayahan. Brian Bowman, Judy Wasylicia-Leis, Gord Steeves, David Sanders at Paula Havixbeck. *** Tatlo ang may malaking pagasa. Sina Brian, Judy at Gord. May kani-kaniyang pahayag subalit hindi niliwanag kung paano nila maipatutupad ang ipinahayag na punto at plano. Sino nga kaya sa kanila ang dapat maging Mayor? *** Abangan ang nabalitang gagawing bagong mga patakaran ng gobyernong Harper tungkol sa immigration at employment issues ng Canada. Malamang na pa-pogi points by the Federal PC in aid of the coming elections. *** Humina ang larangan ng pamamasukan sa US sa nakaraang walong buwan. Matamlay ang manufacturing business. Mahirap ang full time, karaniwang part time jobs lamang.

Feedback Sabi ng isa sa mga nagemail na ayaw magpabanggit ng pangalan: “Kaka Rey, binabasa ko sa Pilipino Express lagi ang mga pilantik mo. Ang mga senador na nagmamalinis pero tumanggap naman ng DAP, tamaan sana sila ng kidlat.”

Naku, pangit na panalangin po ‘yon. Ang maganda ay huwag na lang iboto.

Pilipinas Halos siyam na buwan na lang ang nalalabi sa termino ni BS Aquino III. Malamang mabalot ng dilim ang takip-silim ng kaniyang administrasyon. Kaliwa’t kanan na ang batikos mula sa iba’t ibang

sektor ng lipunan. *** Ang nilunsad na Transformation Council sa Lipa City, Batangas noon ika-27 Agosto na dinaluhan ng different religious belief and political persuations ay simula na ang kilusang alis-jan. *** Ang iba’t ibang uri ng krises na nagaganap ay salamin ng ampaw na pamamahala. Sa nakaraang apat na taon karamihan sa mga boss ni PNoy ay lalong nabaon sa kahirapan. Walang mahagilap na solusyon sa problema ang gobyerno. *** Ang OFWs ay tumatangging umuwi kahit nasa bansang may nagaganap na kaguluhan.

Ayaw maputol ang kabuhayan ng kanilang pamilya. Hindi raw makakain ang nababasa sa papel na umuunlad ang ekonomiya ng Pilipinas. *** Nangangapa ang mga tenant sa Malacañang kung ano ang gagawin at patutunguhan ng sigalot sa West Philippine Sea. Baka matapos na ng China ang on-going constructions nila doon sa teritoryo ng Pilipinas wala pa rin alam ng mga nasa palasyo. *** Malawakang kriminalidad.

Sunod-sunod na kalamidad, mataas na presyo ng mga bilihin tulad ng pagkain at mga pangunahing kailangan ng mga tao. Buhol-buhol na trapiko at patuloy na kurapsiyon. *** Nang hinahanda ko ang pitak na ito, nabalitang si PNoy daw ay maglalakbay sa US at Europe. September 13 hanggang 24. Dalawang linggong paglalamyerda para takasan ang mga nangyayaring krisis sa bansa.

HINAGAP

Bagong Umaga Sa buhay ng tao palaging pag-asa ng mga hikahos ang bagong umaga; Kung may pagbabago tungo sa ginhawa, Ligaya ang handog na magiging bunga! *** Landas na tinahak kung saan patungo, Ang daloy ng buhay mahirap mapiho; Dahil ang panahon ay pabagu-bago, Malalaman lamang pagsapit sa dulo! *** Kaparis ng pusong sa ubod natanim, Ang isang pagsuyong tapat at taimtim; Taglay ang pangakong pakamamahalin Ang sintang inibig magpahanggang libing! *** Ngayo’y naghihintay ng bagong umaga, Ang pusong binihag ng pangungulila!

Paquito Rey Pacheco

Sa mga nakaraang paglalakbay ni PNoy, may 24.6M pesos na raw ng taxpayers’ money ang nagastos.

Puro magandang balita ang pasalubong. Ilang milyong piso na naman kaya ang malulustay ngayon? *** Matindi ang lumabas na New York Times editorial, “Political Mischief in the Philippines.”

Anong mukha ang ihaharap ni Noynoy sa mga opisyal na kaniyang makakadaupang palad sa paglalakbay? Tama na. Aquino should step down from office by 2016. No second term for Noynoy. *** Tiyak pagpipistahan ng foreign media si PNoy. Baka maungkat ang tungkol sa mga natanggap na donasyong pera mula sa international donors at nabulok na mga donasyon para sa mga nasalanta ng Yolanda.

Kailangang mag-ingat siya ng pagharap sa Fil-Am community.

Baka mabalibag ng tsinelas. *** Ginigiit ni Mar Roxas na popular pa raw si PNoy sa kaniyang mga boss. Dapat kay Mr. Palengke ay magpasyal sa mga barberya, salon at kapihan. Kung nananaginip ay baka magising sa katotohanan. *** Noong nakaraang Pilantik, binanggit ko na ang impeachment vs PNoy ay tiyak “knockout sa 2nd round ng pagdinig.” Nangyari nga. Kasi, ang majority ng mga kongresista ay hawak sa leeg

ni Noynoy. OK na rin, nabilad naman ang balidong dahilan ng impeachment. *** Basta binuksan sa kamara ang Cha Cha, hindi lang economic but political provisions ang maaaring umarangkada. Malaki ang discretionary funds ni PNoy. Kailangan ng mga reeleksiyonistang kongresista ang perang panggastos sa eleksiyon. *** Hindi na mapipigilan ang pagarangkada ng politika sa Pilipinas.

Siraan ang senaryo at telenovelas hanggang sa 2016 campaign for presidential and local elections.

Si VP Binay ay maraming pinapakawalang lobo. Makatandem si Gob. Vilma SantosRecto, former Senate president Manny Villar at negosyanteng Manny V. Pangilinan. *** Ang orihinal na tinukoy ay si Jinggoy. Lilitaw na sinungaling si Binay kapag hindi nangyari.

Alalahaning kung hindi dahil sa tulong ni Erap at Enrile ay hindi siya magiging VP. Baka akala niya, base sa survey ay shoe-in na siya for Presidente? Alalahaning gayon din ang akala ni Manny Villar noon. History may repeat itself. *** Kung matuloy ang planong impeachment vs VP Binay lalabas na pakulo lang ang umano’y hati ang LP sa plano. Ang bullying nina Trillanes at Alan Cayetano ay halatang not in aid of legislation but for 2016 presidential elections.

PAGE 21 Sabagay, biyak na rin ang NP. Malamang sina Sonny at Alan Peter ang mabaon sa political grave na sila ang humuhukay. *** Ang demokrasyang wala sa panahon at minadali sa Pilipinas ang sanhi ng kahirapang nangyayari ngayon sa bansa. Ang gobyerno ay pinagharian ng mga mayayaman at maka-dayuhang interes. Malalaman sa hahaliling administrasyon kung bubuti o lalong sasama ang kabuhayan ng mga Pilipino. *** Ang isang nakakalungkot na maaaring mangyari ay kung mabale-wala ang 2016 elections.

Halimbawa, nagkaroon ng malawakang dayaan dahil pumalpak ang lumang PCOS ng COMELEC. Baka pagmulan ng hindi maapulang kaguluhan. *** Huwag sanang mangyari.

Subalit nabalita noon na binokya ni Sec. Butch Abad ng DBM ang kahilingan ni Chairman Brillantes na 18-bilyon pesos, para pambili ng mga bagong Optical Scan Machines na pamalit sa mga ginamit noong 2010.

Katas Ang New York Times editorial noong ika-25 ng Agosto ay malaking dagok sa liderato ni PNoy at kaniyang gobyerno.

MUSEUM...

From page 1 More than a dozen different performances including spoken word, indie rock, visual art and children’s activities will take place on multiple outdoor stages at The Forks in Winnipeg. From ballet that explores themes of cultural acceptance to high-energy musicians who seamlessly merge cultural traditions, many of the RightsFest performers will touch on the rights and responsibilities all citizens share.

“Like the Museum itself, RightsFest truly has something for everyone,” said CMHR President and CEO Stuart Murray. “Opening Canada’s new national museum is a community celebration, and we’re pleased to announce a weekend of events that will appeal to people of all ages and every background.”

The free performances and events will take place from morning until late afternoon on both Saturday, September 20 and Sunday, September 21. A Manitoba Music Showcase featuring local talent such as Bros. Landreth and Royal Canoe will round out the daytime programming on Saturday afternoon.

The opening ceremony begins at 10:30 a.m. CDT on Friday, September 19. The live concert starts on Saturday, September 20, 6:30 p.m. CDT. The free outdoor concert will features top Canadian talent including A Tribe Called Red, Bruce Cockburn, Ashley MacIsaac, Marie-Pierre Arthur, Shad and Buffy Sainte-Marie. The show will be capped by a unique grand finale at 9 p.m. (CDT). Both the official opening ceremonies and the live concert will be aired live in Winnipeg on CityTV and nationally on OMNI TV and APTN, and live online via the Museum’s website, humanrights. ca.

Free museum tours fully booked About 9000 tickets for free, one-hour guided tours through four of the Museum’s 11 galleries during the weekend celebration were snapped up earlier this month.

The Museum will offer limited walk-up opportunities for the free tour but the wait times may be long and access without a ticket cannot be guaranteed. From September 22 to 26, a number of special events will also be held, including private visits by people whose stories are portrayed in the Museum.

Regular operations, with paid admission and public access to all Museum galleries, begin September 27, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day except Mondays.

Admission fees: Adults $15 (taxes included), youth $8, students

and seniors $12, families $42.

Admission for children under seven years old is free. Beginning in January 2015, admission will be free on the first Wednesday evening of each month.

Some cool features of the CMHR • The Tower of Hope rises to 100 metres, equivalent to a 23-storey building. The building’s total area is 24,155 square metres (equal to four Canadian football fields) • Eleven galleries are housed within a “mountain” of 400,000-year-old limestone, surrounded by a glass “cloud” of 1,300 panes – no two exactly the same. It takes a raindrop about eight minutes to slide from top to bottom of the cloud • Visitors travel through galleries along 800 metres of glowing ramps clad in Spanish alabaster – a literal path of light through the darkness. It takes a fit person about 30 minutes to walk continuously from the main entrance, through all the galleries, to the Tower’s observation deck.

• An interior “Garden of Contemplation” built entirely of basalt rock with pools of water and greenery was inspired by Northern Ireland’s natural “Giant’s Causeway”.

• Home to 300 objects and artworks.

• Features seven theatres, an immersive multimedia experience, a 360-degree film, and two soundscapes.

• Contains 100 hours of video, three feature films, 26 small format films, 512 video clips, 2,500 images, 37 large-scale projections, 19 digital interactive elements and 100,000 words of original text.

by ties fostered by some 660,000 Filipinos in Canada.

Ambassador Garcia took the occasion to convey the Filipino people’s gratitude for Canada’s tremendous disaster relief assistance in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan last year, including the deployment of Canada’s Disaster Assistance Relief Team (DART) by Canada to the island of Panay. Her conversation with the Governor General also dwelled upon the recent designation of the Philippines as a Country of Focus for Canada’s development assistance and high-level official exchanges, such as the visit of Prime Minister Stephen Harper to the Philippines in 2012 and

the planned reciprocal visit of President Benigno S. Aquino III to Canada in 2015.

“Today, I carried to the Governor General not only my credentials as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary but also the good wishes of President Aquino and the affection of the Filipino people for the entire Canadian nation. My mission is to ensure that PhilippineCanadian friendship will continue to flourish on the back of healthy political and economic relations with the large Filipino diaspora in Canada providing a rich context to pursue our goals,” said Ambassador Garcia.

katotohanan ng kaniyang mga sinasabi. *** Palaging mataas ang energy ni Robin Padilla tuwing sumasalang sa entablado ng Talendatong Pinoy.

Parang milyon ang talent fee niya sa bawat episode ng talent searh, bigay na bigay siya, sulit na sulit sa kaniya ang TV5.

Kuwento ng utility ng programa, “Ngayon lang po ako nakakita ng host na natutulog sa studio. Saka sinasabayan niyang kumain ang mga contestants.

Doon pa lang, nag-iinterbyu na si Robin, kaya kilalang-kilala na niya ang mga contestants kapag rumorolyo na sila.”

“Masarap katrabaho si Robin, mahahawa ka sa energy niya.

Ganoon pala siya ka-dedicated sa ginagawa niya, mahal na mahal niya ang trabaho niya, kaya Robin Padilla pa rin siya hanggang ngayon,” papuri pa kay Binoe ng kaniyang staff.

Maraming sumasang-ayon sa ipinahayag ni Robin Padilla na mabigyan lang siya ng oportunidad ay gusto na niyang manirahan sa ibang bansa.

Ibinigay na dahilan ng action star ang kaliwa’t kanang krimen na nagaganap sa ating bayan na karamihan pa sa mga nasasangkot ay mismong mga pulis na dapat ay nagbabantay sa katahimikan at kaligtasan ng ating kapaligiran.

SEPTEMBER 16 - 30, 2014

Cindy Gilroy explains why she is running for City Council in Daniel McIntyre Ward I grew up in the West End of Daniel McIntyre and, like much of my generation, I am now raising my children here. I’m a proud West Ender and I want my children to grow up in the same strong, safe and vibrant community I did. Growing up here gives me a sense of the communities and what people want from our city council.

I am concerned about how things have been done at City Hall and I think we can do better. Projects like the new fire halls and police station should be managed differently and basic services like streets and sidewalks need to be maintained better. As a school trustee I was open and accountable and I will be the same City Hall.

This election is important. The new Mayor will need support to make change. In 2010 I came within 108 votes of helping make that change and help make Winnipeg a safe and vibrant city and Daniel McIntyre a strong, safe and vibrant community.

I worked in the family business and being a school trustee has prepared me for dealing with public funds in an open and transparent way. If elected, I will use my experience, leadership abilities and best judgment in the best interest of everyone in Daniel McIntyre and I hope you will consider supporting me.

This is a paid political advertisement.

pero nagbago ang isip, dahil sa laganap na kriminalidad sa ating bayan.

Magtitiis na lang daw sila sa pagsasakripisyo sa kinaroroonan nilang bansa ngayon kesa sa mamatay nang walang balidong dahilan sa Pilipinas.

It’s more fun in the Philippines pa rin ba? *** Dati’y nakakatakot lang maglakad sa madidilim na kalye dahil namumugad doon ang masasamang-loob. Pero ngayon, kahit laganap ang liwanag at sa mga abalang kalye ay naglipana na rin ang mga halang ang kaluluwa, at mas nakakatakot dahil kahit prente kang nakaupo sa iyong sasakyan ay libre ka na ring harangin para holdapin.

Napakalawak na ngayon ng mundo para sa mga magnanakaw, holdaper, mamamatay-tao at kidnaper. Parang wala nang ligtas na lugar ngayon dahil araw-araw na lang ay iyon ang ulo ng mga balita na ang nagpapasimuno pa ay mga pulis at retiradong militar.

Natatandaan pa namin, sa mga pa-contest na pambata noon kapag tinatanong ang mga kalahok kung ano ang gusto nilang maging sa kanilang paglaki, ang madalas na sagot ng mga batang lalaki ay maging pulis.

Gusto raw kasi nilang ipagtanggol ang mga naaapi.

Gusto raw kasi nilang hulihin ang mga magnanakaw. Ngayon kaya ay ganoon pa rin ang

papangarapin ng mga batang lalaki, ang pagpupulis, kahit pa kinatatakutan na ngayon ng ating mga kababayan ang mga tiwaling otoridad na palaging nasasangkot sa mga krimen?

Napakarumi na ng imahe ng kapulisan ngayon. Napakaraming pulis na tumutupad sa sinumpaan nilang tungkulin sa bayan ang nadadamay sa mga krimeng pinamumunuan ng kanilang mga kabaro.

Panahon na para mas bigyan ng aksiyon at atensiyon ng mga namumuno sa ating gobyerno ang kaligtasan ng ating mga mamamayan. Iyon ang kailangan nilang unahin, ang dapat nilang asikasuhin, dahil araw at gabi ay laganap ang nakawan at patayan na mga itinalaga pa namang tagapagtanggol ng bayan ang nangunguna sa mga tiwaling gawain.

Tama na muna ang pagsisiraan, tama na muna ang pamumulitika, napakalayo pa ng 2016 pero ang mga krimeng nagaganap sa ating bayan ay nakahain na sa araw-araw.

Tantanan na ang pagkukulapol ng putik sa mukha ng mga kalabang pulitiko, ang pagdidiin sa mga kapuwa pulitikong kinatatakutan sa 2016, unahin na agad-agad ang pagaksyion sa peace and order na ipinagmamalaki ninyo pero puro drawing lang naman pala.
