The daughter of a Kagay-anon living with her husband and family in Melbourne, Australia has won praise for her playing of the Great Highland Bagpipe. In a recent competition held by the Victorian Pipers Association in Melbourne, Clair AlabaWheatley, 13, ranked second in the Novice Piobaireachd category for her rendition of ‘Glengarry’s Lament.’ Said the Adjudicator’s Report on Clair’s performance: A well presented tune flowing well. Watch you don’t come off the E too soon on the second last bar. Pipe well set. Keep your pressure steady. Well done! Further notes listed her Bagpipe chanter as well-set, drones in tune throughout performance, tempo, technique and embellishments all good, no errors! Piobaireachd, Pibroch, or Ceòl Mòr is an art music genre associated primarily with the Scottish Highlands that is characterized by extended compositions with a melodic theme and elaborate formal variations. Strictly meaning ‘piping’ in Scottish Gaelic, piobaireachd has for some four centuries been the music of the Great Highland bagpipe. The Great Highland bagpipe (Scottish Gaelic: a’ phìob mhòr) is a type of bagpipe native to Scotland. It has achieved widespread recognition through its usage in the British military and civilian pipe bands throughout the world, but is is also used for a solo virtuosic style called piobaireachd, or simply pibroch. The Great Highland bagpipe is classified as a woodwind instrument, like the bassoon, oboe, and clarinet. Although it is further classified as a double-reed instrument, the reeds are all closed inside the wooden ‘stocks’, instead of being played directly by mouth as most other woodwinds are. The Great Highland bagpipe actually has four reeds: the chanter reed (double), two tenor drone reeds (single), and one bass drone reed (single).A modern set has a bag, a
chanter, a blowpipe, two tenor drones, and one bass drone. “Margaret (Clair’s elder sister) and Clair love playing the pipes and marched with the school band in the city on ANZAC Day, “said her proud dad, Simon, who’s married to Peddy Alaba, sister of Margaret and Clair’s uncle Edu Alaba, who together with wife Linda Ching, runs the Dynamic chain of pharmacies and the school and office supplies store Paper Station. ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) Day marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War and is a national holiday. “Peddy, Vicenta and I were glued to the television looking for a glimpse of the girls! Vicenta (the youngest daughter) is also learning the pipes and is making good progress,” Simon recalls with pride. The Victoria Pipers Association Inc. (VPA) Assessment criteria for competing pipers in 2016 listed what adjudicators were listening for when a solo piper competes in VPA competitions. In the Novice category, the piper should 1) Show ability to play grace notes and movements clearly; 2) Play with a steady tempo, show a basic understanding of musical expression; 3) Blow bagpipes steady; and be 4) Smartly dressed and presented. The VPA is an independent, nonprofit organization that is a central point for administrating solo piping events in Victoria. One competition, during the ‘season’ is the VPA Victorian Solo Piping Championships. At these championships, prizes and titles are distributed in addition to regular aggregate points (including bronze, silver and gold medals for piobaireachd). At the conclusion of the competition season the aggregate winner of each grade will be recognized as ‘Piper of the Year’. bagpipe/PAGE 7

Critics hits Robredo on alleged prohibited campaign funds April 30 - May 6, 2016
CRITICS of 3rd District Camarines Sur Representative and Liberal Party Vice Presidential candidate Leni Robredo have scored against the former over allegations that the Robredo candidacy is well-funded and with smoothly running propaganda machine. They also alleged that her promotions and advertising placements on TV and radio have been estimated to be several hundred million pesos, along with her well-placed expensive
tarpaulins, posters and stickers. In an interview with DZMM, Robredo said that campaign contributions are coming from “friends and relatives,” who are the contributors in the May 9, 2016 elections, and will have to be reported later with the Commission on Election (Comelec), as provided by law. But, critics alleged that in the 2013 elections, when Robredo ran as representative for the 3rd District of Camarines Sur, and was allegedly
charged for committing election offenses, involving prohibited campaign contributions from foreign sources, E.O. Case No. 13179, which was filed on May 23, 2013, for violation of Section 96 of the Omnibus Election Code; and untruthful reporting of campaign contributions, E.O. Case No. 13-293, which was filed on September 22, 2013, for violation of Section 98 of the Omnibus Election Code. The pieces of evidence against Leni Robredo
were obtained from Leni Robredo’s own website http://lenirobredo.ph which upon verification unwittingly listed five categories of prohibited contributions from foreign sources, namely: Natural-born Americans citizens; Filipino who became naturalized American citizens and remain as foreign nationals; Filipinos who became naturalized American citizens, but opted to elect to be dual citizens and, therefore, remain both an American citizen and a Filipino
citizen. Hence, they are still foreign nationals; Foreign entities; and, donors from anonymous sources. The specific names of those belonging to any of the foregoing donors have been presented at the Comelec by Complainants in their Verified Complaints, Position Papers and supporting Exhibits. The other documentary evidence against Robredo are provided in Robredo’s own Statement of Contributions as submitted to the
Comelec which allegedly deliberately omitted prohibited contributions delivered to her by a certain Loida Lewis, who executed an affidavit that she turned over to Robredo her personal contributions and other contributions from the United States. Critics cited the first election offense - on prohibited campaign contributions from foreign sources - as Robredo’s lame defense, saying, while she admitted as an integral robredo/PAGE 7
Herbalife’s Nutrition At Work Survey Reveals Majority of Philippines’ Workforce Lead Largely Sedentary Lifestyles, Putting them at Risk of Obesity Fifth Herbalife Asia-Pacific Wellness Tour seeks to address health issues associated with sedentary lifestyles, and deepen practical understanding on the benefits of a healthy, active life Herbalife, a global nutrition company, has released the findings of the new Nutrition At Work Survey, which revealed that the majority of Philippines’ workforce leads largely sedentary lifestyles, putting them at risk of obesity. The Survey1, which was designed to understand the lifestyle habits and attitudes of Asia Pacific’s modern workforce, was conducted in March with 5,500 full-time workers in 11 Asia-Pacific markets, including 500 workers from the Philippines. According to the survey findings, almost nine out of 10 (85%) workers in the Philippines spend at least six hours a day sitting at their desk, with 52% of its workforce eating lunch at their work desk two to five times per week. The survey also revealed that majority of Philippines’ workforce (86%) exercise less than three times per week, with five out of 10 getting less than 30 minutes of physical activity a day at their workplace. This suggests a significantly worrying trend locally, on the back of rising obesity rates recorded in recent years. Nevertheless, the risk of obesity could be averted if workers in the Philippines decide to take control over their own nutritional intake and exercise regimen. Close to eight out of 10 workers (75%) affirmed
that they strive to live a healthy, active life, however, the majority of them noted that they find it difficult to stay active during workdays. “With a majority of Philippines’ workforce leading largely sedentary lifestyles, our mission as a global nutrition company is to help people in the Philippines take practical steps towards leading healthy, active lives. By inculcating positive nutrition and active lifestyle habits to people in the Philippines, we hope that this will, over time, help reduce obesity risks and lead to positive improvements to the well-being of our people,” said Mr. Rosalio Valenzuela, General Manager of Herbalife Philippines. Aimed at addressing health issues associated with sedentary lifestyles, and deepening practical understanding on the benefits of healthy, active lifestyles, Herbalife launched its fifth Asia Pacific Wellness Tour 2016, held in the months of April and May. The latest edition of the Wellness Tour builds upon the successes of the past four tours that welcomed more than 80,000 participants across the region, and features a host of medical symposiums, talks and workshops led by seven experts from Herbalife’s Nutrition Advisory Board (NAB), covering 26 cities across Australia, Cambodia, Hong Kong,
India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Macau, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. Gary Small, M.D. has recently visited the country and shared his expert views on digital dementia and brain aging at the “A Smart Way to Healthy Aging: A Talk by Gary Small, M.D.” event. Dr. Small, a specialist in brain health and aging, has authored over 500 scientific works and received numerous awards and honors, including the “Senior Investigator Award” from the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry. During the talk Dr. Small addressed health and nutrition related issues associated with sedentary lifestyles and share practical tips on how today’s workforce can live healthier lives by making simple changes to their daily lifestyles. Health and medical professionals, academics, as well as the general public have also engaged in lively dialogues with Dr. Small at the event, and had the chance to network with likeminded professionals through the Herbalife Asia-Pacific Wellness Tour platform. Rounding up the team of Herbalife NAB experts who have participated in the Asia-Pacific Wellness Tour are: • Dr. David Heber, chairman of the Herbalife Nutrition Institute and Nutrition
Advisory Board. A leading expert in the field of nutrition, named as one of “The World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds” by Thomson Reuters in 2014 and repeatedly included in “The Best Doctors in America”.
• Dr. ChinKun Wang, an expert in metabolism and nutrition, with a focus on the clinical evaluation of nutritional supplements, nutraceuticals, functional foods and herbs. He was awarded the National Award of Biomedicine in
Taiwan in 2008 for his contribution to medical education. • Dr. Julian Alvarez Garcia, a specialist in sports medicine and sports physiology who has advised professional teams, national teams herbalife/PAGE 7

The Break Through? It’s not the first time, that representatives of most countries have signed a document for a better world climate. Last Friday, the Paris climate deal has been signed in New York. By signing the four-month-old agreement, the nations pledged to join the fight against global warming. UN chief Ban Kimoon opened the ceremony on Friday, describing the accord as “history in the making” in his address to the UN General Assembly. Envoys from more than 170 countries signed the climate deal over the course of the day, setting a new record. “Today you are signing a new covenant with the future,” Ban told the gathering on Friday. “The era of consumption without consequences is over.” For Germany, Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks was on hand to sign the commitment, which will then require ratification in parliament. Famous Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio also addressed the
international officials, telling them they were the “last best hope” for saving the planet. “We can congratulate each other today, but it will mean absolutely nothing” if the envoys fail to implement the deal, DiCaprio said. And this also my opinion. And not only mine. Indeed, if the envoys fail to implement the deal, this signing a new covenant with the future will remain as a piece of scratch paper. Nothing else. Nothing more. Despite Friday’s signing ceremony, most individual countries are still obliged to ratify the agreement in their own parliaments. Will this happened? And when? In New York, French President Francois Hollande said he would urge his parliament to ratify the accord “by the summer” of 2016. Hollande also called on the EU to “lead by example” and complete the procedure before the year is up. “There is no turning back now,” he said in a brief address to the assembly. Of course not Monsieur Presidente.
The agreement is set to come into force after 55 countries representing at least 55 percent of global polluters formally join it. International leaders have set 2020 as the target date, but many climate experts believe it could happen much sooner. In my opinion: it should happened sooner! On Friday, Beijing’s representatives announced China would ratify the deal by September. The US also intends to finalize the procedure during this presidential election year. They seem not yet to be in a hurry ... ! Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff (how long?) also spoke before the assembly in New York, pledging that her country would restore and reforest 12 million hectares (30 million acres) of forests and 15 million hectares of degraded pastures, but offering no timetable. Indeed, the country is in a “grave, serious moment. International leaders agreed on a global effort to curb climate change in December last year. The deal

aims to keep the global temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) compared to pre-industrial times. Currently, average temperatures are almost 1 degree Celsius higher than before the industrial revolution. Countries are obliged to report on their progress and update their targets every five years. However, there is no penalty if the states miss their emission goals. A nation can also withdraw from the treaty, but not during the first three years after the deal goes into effect. After deciding to pull out, the national government would need to wait for a one-year notice period. The document also encourages rich countries doring/PAGE 7

in Container Movements through Metro Manila It is common knowledge that the Philippines is working on long term solutions to resolve the gridlock in Metro Manila. An immediate partial remediation would be to upgrade the existing right-of-way of the PNR for heavy freight service and operate container trains in conjunction with passenger service. Current combined capacity of the two international container ports is approximately 7000 containers/trucks per day. Elimination of container trucks from the streets of Manila will create a significant savings in the cost of the gridlock and time savings for daily commuters. AFP News 23 January, 2016 “Traffic in the capital and its surroundings is already costing the country about three billion pesos ($64 million) a day, or about 0.8 percent of gross domestic product,
according to government figures.” ….. “This is going to be the most critical problem the next administration faces,” John Forbes, a senior adviser at the American Chamber of Commerce in Manila, told AFP.” The concept would be to create 2 marshalling yards, one North and one South of Manila, adjacent to the existing PNR mainline approximately 15 miles distant from the Port. The railroad cars could be loaded with a single pick from the ship to a railroad car, eliminating multiple handling of containers at the Port. Customs inspections would be handled at the outlying yards, freeing up large areas of valuable port land. Loading and unloading of the railroad cars to the trucks would occur in the marshalling yards. Philippine inbound container loads not destined for Manila would continue

by road. Loads destined for Metro Manila could be dispatched by road at non-peak hours. Conversely, outbound containers would be transported by train to the Port. The double track mainline would be upgraded to 80 mph speed limit with welded rail and concrete ties of sufficient loading capacity. High horsepower locomotives would be utilized to accelerate and maintain 60-80 mph operating speeds. Trains of 100 cars carrying 200 forty foot containers each would be dispatched to and from each terminal at 1-hour intervals during the hours of 10pm to 5 am (non-operating hours of the PNR). Full capacity
of the International Ports, approximately 7000 containers daily, would bypass Metro Manila. Utilizing the Philippine National Railway in its natural role of heavy freight hauler would solve many of the inconveniences Manila faces today. This upgrade could physically be accomplished in 18 months or less. The United States railroad industry has perfected the high capacity, high speed container train transloading and container train dispatch methodology. It is an everyday routine to load a mile long container train within a few hours, dispatch it at speeds of 70 miles per hour and railways//PAGE 7

Malaybalay, Koronadal, Iligan, Marawi, Ozamiz, Pagadian, Surigao and Zamboanga. Those who took their oaths before senior professional regulation officer Floriza Tan came from Cagayan de Oro, Malaybalay and Marawi. In his inspirational talk before the newly-minted brokers and appraisers, Red October CEO and managing director Jose Ernest Carpio told the beaming audience that their batch is now part of the new breed of realtors who are ready for Asean integration. “We at Red October strive hard to produce the best professionals not just for the Philippines but for the whole Southeast Asia. Tayo na ang pambato ng Asean ngayon,” Carpio said to the cheers of the crowd. With this, Red October is preparing itself to conduct continuing development programs to its successful reviewees by enrolling them in its various international accreditation programs. These accreditations are meant to open doors for the graduates to Asean integration. In his response, Un said that he did not expect to top the appraiser’s exam but he simply trusted God from the start. For more information, contact 09355573746 or look for Sittie Ainnun Zharah D.

Political observers say the problem of Robredo’s defense is that her counter-affidavit and the words and phrases used on her website completely avoided the issue of whether the sources of her campaign contributions were “foreign nationals” when the truth is that, Filipinos who have been from page 2 naturalized American citizens already living Clair plays in the abroad are already Presbyterian Ladies’ foreign nationals; College band with her Filipinos who are dual elder sister Margaret. citizens have foreign Aside from the Great nationality component Highland bagpipe, and are foreign nationals.

Donors abroad for Leni Robredo’s political campaign. FUNRAZAR is the flagship product of a company called Connection Point Systems, a privately owned and funded Canadian company. (source:https://fundrazr. com/campaign/bSia8a and https://fundrazar. com/pages/about ). “In essence, Robredo was caught red-handed for committing election offenses. But the Comelec in spite of the criminal information against Leni Robredo, has not filed the criminal information in the court. The function of the Comelec is only to determine “probable cause” which has already been exceedingly shown. In fact, proof beyond reasonable doubt has been proven,” one critic said. “Robredo’s caliber as a lawyer was put to a test in these two election cases and she demonstrated her ignorance of election laws by adopting contradictory sworn statements. In the first case, on unlawful acceptance of illegal campaign contribution from foreign sources, she admitted that Loida Lewis turned over to her not only Loida Lewis’ personal contribution but that, she also received from her other contributions abroad. But when the second case for untruthful reporting of campaign contributions, was filed, she disowned Loida Lewis by swearing that Loida Lewis was not her agent to solicit campaign funds, that she did not know that a website under her name was opened and that Loida Lewis turned over to Leni Robredo only Lewis’ personal contributions but not other contributions. Leni Robredo’ reversal when caught, has characterized Loida Lewis as a liar, a perjurer and “estafador” of contributions collected but not allegedly turned over to Leni Robredo in spite earlier admission by Leni Robredo herself that Loida Lewis did turn over other contributions apart from Loida Lewis’ own personal contribution. In street lingo, ‘nilaglag ni Lenis si Loida’,” a critic said. Lewis has been confronted in writing on March 14, 2014, more than two year ago about the fact that Leni Robredo swore that she did not turn over to her other campaign contribution solicited and received by Loida Lewis. But Loida Lewis refuses to comment up to this time. But, as a lawyer herself, Loida Lewis knows that if
cases are filed against Loida Lewis, she might end up in jail. But, Leni still cannot go scotfree for receiving illegal campaign contributions from prohibited foreign sources, including Loida Lewis’ personal contribution as a dual citizen. But, for not reporting other contributions collected by Loida Lewis, the proper Court will have to assess who is telling the truth or lying between Leni and Loida, critics claim. “As the saying goes, abangan ang susunod na kabanata,” critics of Robredo said.

Project... from page 4
Our only problem was, we source our soaps from hotels at Singapore and Dubai which are all Diversey’s clients. The shipping takes time and costs us a lot. So, I decided to talk to Seda Centrio hotel manager, Mr. Noel Barrameda, and explained to him the details that would be good as well for their Corporate Social Responsibility. I’m just very lucky that he’s a very nice person. I am so grateful and happy that he said yes. They will deliver their soaps every end of the month to the barangay. It’s only 10 minutes away from the hotel. Last April 27, 2016 (Wednesday) we had our turnover ceremony. Then last minute, I also decided to bring some new slippers for the 80 happy kids of Barangay 17. To those of you who know me well, I love wearing slippers or flip-flops. That’s why I love giving new slippers because I know how it feels having new slippers to walk with. I also love seeing kids happy and excited. "It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving." Mother Teresa Here are some photos that I want to share with you all.

successfully deliver the containers hundreds of miles away within hours. To successfully bypass the Manila traffic bottle neck, US equivalent methodology and technology must be implemented. No other railroad industry on the planet is as effective or efficient in high capacity, high speed container movement as the US. As an example, 7,000 forty foot containers loaded on trucks spaced touching end to end creates a single lane convoy approximately 60 miles long or two lanes, 30 miles long of trucks inbound and outbound. It is easy to visualize the impact this has on traffic in Metro Manila.
