the entrances of Centrio. From the Sparco racing set to the modified rims, airbrush paint rims and audio setup which featured the Furious 7 soundtrack especially the signature household rave single Get Low (Dillon Francis/DJ Snake), the car was a stunning attraction to mall shoppers who posed
with the vehicle and trooped to the moviehouse. With Chedeng passing away from the Philippine zone, summer is surely getting hotter. And what better way to cool it off then appreciating Furious 7 at the cinemas.

Survival skill
T
hink a minute…It’s truly amazing how the Jewish people have survived after thousands of years of being slaves, p e r s e c ut e d , a n d e v e n attempted genocide when Hitler’s Nazi’s murdered 6 million Jews! That’s why in 1934, Germany was the wrong place to be a Jew. When Hitler’s teenage gangs took over his village the little Jewish boy, Heinz, was just 11 years old. H e i n z ’s p a r e n t s t au g ht t h e i r c h i l d re n how important it was to learn self-control. With the Nazi gangs terrorizing their village on the streets daily, Heinz’s parents knew that just one moment of losing control of their anger against their Nazi rulers could mean the death of their family. So Heinz learned to stay out of their way, sometimes crossing the street or taking a different road home. But one day, young Heinz was finally cornered by one of Hitler’s bullies. For the first time, Heinz
was forced to talk to a Nazi youth. But by staying calm and carefully choosing his words, Heinz surprised e ven hims elf when he t a l ke d his way out of trouble and convinced this bully not to hurt him but to let him go. That day, Heinz discovered his survival skill of talking and reasoning with others. It was a major turning point that changed his life—and later changed the world. After a few years, Heinz’s family escaped from Germany and moved to America. But Heinz never forgot how to talk with people and help bring peace between enemies. You see, that 11-year-old boy who had negotiated his first peace settlement with a Nazi bully, later became one of the greatest amb ass adors of p e ac e i n t h e w o r l d . Yo u’v e probably heard of him… not as Heinz…but by his American name: Henry Kissinger, the former U. S. Secretary of State. Think a Minute…

Y
e s , u n l i m it e d an d unrestricted, we do have! Ever yone of us. Prejudices give a sense of pride in our world, Try to make a fundamental and common definition of “prejudice”: it’s an opinion, of course, favorable or unfavorable (more often the latter!). Many times, it’s an opinion formed without fair examination of facts. Prejudice creates biases, bad influences, and inquiries. Do you still remember any election campaigns? What a shame sometimes! A possible correction afterwards is seldom given or will be even rejected. Ver y of ten prejudices become coarse, rude and gross generally. Got the latest news from the political nation’s drama? In all parts of our globe we find an ethical hierarchy. It’s an indirect status with f ixe d judgements and
points of view. S ocial distance and discrimination predominate and make it easier to use categories such as “race”, “nation” or “culture”. Social differences have been built up. Gays and lesbians are “unnatural” (?), all black people are “dirty” (?), all white people are “rich”? - Heaven forbid! But I experienced it myself many times: I stayed in Israel sometime in 1978 and was not really welcomed by the people, because of my”Nazi-roots” (though I was born 1953!). Later I have been rejected from the Golan Heights, because I came from (enemy!) Israeli territory. Staying in South Africa sometime in 1980, I experienced the terrible racism and fascism of the former apartheid government and its painful effects and consequences. Most racial prejudices
have its roots from the heritage of colonial supremacy. Justification of slavery goes back to the 17th century. In early colonial history skin color was not the main reason, it was the paganism of original inhabitants in A m e r i c a , A f r i c a , an d Australia. Terms such as “Indian” and “Negro” can be even found in the literature: the good-natured Indian variant “Winnetou” (Karl May, 1842-1912, Germany) or “Friday” (Freitag), the noble savage in “Robinson Crusoe” (Daniel Defoe, 1660-1731, England), or how about “Uncle Tom” (Harriet Beecher-Stowe, 1811-1896, USA). Po l i t i c a l c o n f l i c t s between “white colonial supremacies” and “colored s u b j e c t s” h a v e b e e n explained and described as racial segregation -
many times instigated by Christian missionaries. Innumerable examples in world history proved brutal force and power up to genocide. Prejudices? “Love your neighbor as yourself !” (Leviticus 19:18). “When an alien lives beside you in your land, do not mistreat him. The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born!” (Leviticus 19:33,34). Integration, ecumenical movements, support of especially discriminated and disadvantaged groups are keynotes for future. they should be! The “stranger in media” or “the strangeness - a feigned difficult standard” ... we could really really live together easier and more respectful of each other. let’s honor each other more in future. If there is a will, there is also a way!

P
ag-IBIG Fund continues to strengthen its presence in the NCR with the recent inauguration of its SM Aura Branch in Taguig City. Pag-IBIG President and Chief Executive Officer, Atty. Darlene Marie B.

The new branch is one of two branches that now feature the new look of Pag-IBIG Fund, with a more comfortable ambience in a professional office manned by professional staff. “It’s like traveling to another country where the airport is the entry point. What we see or experience there, gives us our first impressions of the kind of experience that we can expect,” Atty. Berberabe added. For many Pag-IBIG members, the branch is their first point of contact with PagIBIG, and through its new look, Pag-IBIG is now at par with the the private sector not just in services but in look as well. Services offered by Pag-IBIG SM Aura Branch include membership registration,
withdrawal of membership contribution, receiving of housing (HL), multipurpose (MPL), and calamity loan (CL) applications, acceptance of membership contribution obligations from employers, individual payors, and selfemployed members, as well as members’ savings under the Modified PagIBIG 2 Program. Member-borrowers can also update their HL or short-term loan amortization payments. The branch also releases MPL and CL proceeds through Pag-IBIG Citi Prepaid Card or Land Bank Cash Card, issues member’s identification (MID) / transaction card and members’ statement of accumulated value (MSAV), and facilitates transfer or consolidation of members’ records and loan details. To date, Pag-IBIG serves more than five million members in Metro Manila through its 18 branches and eight service desks across the nation’s capital.

A famous song goes “If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make the change.” This is what Integrity Initiative, a private sectorled campaign that aims to promote adherence to ethical standards among various sectors of society, believes in—having an ethical and moral lifestyle will eventually lead to a more progressive Philippines. To achieve this goal, Integrity Initiative works with its signatories, or companies that signed
the Integrity Pledge. These signatories follow a set of guidelines that promote honesty and ethics in the workplace. SeaOil Philippines, t he count r y’s largest independent oil company; TeaM Energy, one of the biggest independent power producers in the country; and Isla Lipana & Co., the Philippine member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers global network that has provided assurance, tax and advisory services for more than 90 years, are some of these signatories that took the initial step
to get that positive change started. Prior to signing the pledge, these three companies were already practicing honesty and integrity in their workplace. S E AO I L P h i l i p p i n e s has had an oversight committee that ensures employees’ compliance to the company’s internal policies, and Values in Ac t i on C ou nc i l t h at proactively promotes company values including Integrity. TeaM Energy provides different activities that are meant to promote their company values,
while Isla Lipana & Co. makes sure that their people believe in and practice the same values as theirs. SEAOIL Philippines signed the pledge in 2011. According to its chief operating executive officer Francis GlennYu, for them to successfully practice business ethics and good governance, they need a support system that will guide them to be part of a community that shares the same belief system, thus, they joined Integrity Initiative. A year after, TeaM Energy, seeing the
opportunity to make their mission easily achievable, followed suit. And with the belief that integrity is about doing the right thing even when no one is watching, Isla Lipana & Co. signed the pledge to strengthen their company’s framework and at the same time share its integrity practices with others. Today, these three companies continue to improve and promote integrity and honesty in the workplace. They make sure they follow the guidelines provided by Integrity Initiative, and
that these are cascaded to all partners and employees, who they also encourage to sign the pledge and be part of the group. SEAOIL Philippines created anti-bribery and anti-corruption policies, and their own 4-point integrity test. They also partnered with Kaya Natin Movement, supported the Jesse M. Robredo Foundation (JMRF), and spearheaded the Lead Like Jesse Emerging Leaders Camp (LLJ) to promote good governance among LGUs and future society leaders. The company also organized regular leadership seminars and established an ethics hotline where corporate and station employees can report unethical incidents within the organization. an d i d e nt i f i e d are a s that need attention and improvements. “ We e n c o u r a g e employees to report any unethical acts through our ethics hotline, and we ensure them that cases are investigated, and sanctions will be made once proven guilty,” head of SEAOIL Philippines Internal C ontrol and Audit Department (ICAD) Polymar Mangay-ayam said.

April 8 - 14, 2015
Reaching out to various underprivileged communities to provide young talents nationwide the venue to hone their skills, the TM Football Para Sa Bayan recently went underway with its football festival in Iloilo City, spearheaded by no less than Globe ambassador, sports director and coach Emelio “Chieffy” Caligdong. The said football festival attracted hundreds of youth
from the townsfolk of Barotac Nuevo in the said city where Caligdong traces his roots, as well as from neighboring barangays. Aside from letting the football newbies aged 6 to 15 discover and enjoy the sport, the event also provided the opportunity to increase their level of play through a 7-side tournament format under the supervision of the former Philippine Azkals team captain and midfielder.
It also enabled the mass market prepaid brand TM to reach out to more of its publics in rolling out relevant programs, particularly the successful grassroots football program of Globe Telecom, which for three years now has largely helped underserved Filipino youth to tap their full potential and harness their skills, particularly through football. “We are pleased that TM

For Isl a L ip ana & Co., it is enhancing their current processes and documentation following a continuous improvement approach that can help them to be more ethical and responsible. Alexander Cabrera, Isla Lipana & Co. chairman and senior partner, shared, “Integrity has always been the bedrock of our firm since it was established in 1922. We are committed to having stringent vetting or validation process before we accept a client. We also make sure that our i nte g r it y c ompl i anc e framework reflects our company’s beliefs and is being followed.” To d a y, t h e t h r e e companies ser ve as good examples to those
who want to join the fight against negative practices. “The efforts of these companies make us optimistic about the future of this country. We believe that with more and more companies and organizations following in their footsteps, the goal of strengthening integrity in our society is well within reach,” said Integrity Initiative Chairman Ramon del Rosario, Jr. Currently, there are 1,646 signatories that started living with integrity and honesty within their own backyard. Like the song, they believe that starting from within is the best way to fight the negative norms that are accepted in the society. By starting from the inside, one can set an example and eventually influence others to do create a positive and lasting impact for the benefit of the society.

It is with high hopes that by joining in the festivals and doing good in football, we would be able to encourage them to stay in school and have a better chance for a brighter future,” remarked Caligdong. Between 2013 and 2014, the football festivals have made significant impact not only in promoting the sport but encouraging some 5,400 youth from the countryside to continue their education, with total of 40 communities committing to keep their local kids in school. After Iloilo, the football festivals will soon make their way to more key cities in the Philippines in the following dates: April 22 to 23 in San Carlos, Negros Occidental; May 16 to 17 in Roxas City, Capiz; August 22 to 23 in

Now on its 3rd Year, ‘ART MADE PUBLIC’ is the first public art initiative by Metrobank Foundation in partnership with SM Supermalls throughout the country. Since 2013, ART MADE PUBLIC has engaged various groups from the academe, cultural community, and commercial sites like SM Supermalls to help the foundation accomplish the greater goal or promoting Philippine Art and Art Education among the general public. In an interview, Ms. Yvette Macayan-Senior
Program Officer of Metrobank Foundation told Cagayan Times that as a development organization, Metrobank Foundation, through the Metrobank Art & Design Excellence (MADE) believes that it is also their responsibility to promote culture and art as a vital means for holistic national development. They want the public – especially the youth – to know more about Philippine art and to instill in them a genuine appreciation for it. She further said that 2015 ART MADE Public carries the theme: “EMPOWERING DREAMS FOR AN INSPIRED NATION”, which symbolizes the foundation’s commitment to realize the winners’ dreams that will inspire more people to dream for the nation. The public will now have the chance
to take a closer look at images of former winning works of which many of whom started as young artists and have gone on to become some of today’s contemporary masters like Elmer Borlongan, Antonio Leano, Emmanuel Garibay and Alfredo Esquillo, Jr., to name a few. The exhibit also is an opportunity to discover a new breed of artists and designers the country can be proud of. It is hoped that by providing venues such as exhibitions, the public will be empowered to pursue creativity for nation-building as well as to encourage others to do the same. art/PAGE 2

ver five thousand (5,000) devotees, pilgrims, foreign, domestic and local tourists from all over the country and in Mindanao witnessed The Hinuklog 2015 last Holy Thursday and Good Friday (April 2-3, 2015)- at the Municipality of Medina, Misamis Oriental. Now on its 5th year, Hinuklog 2015 is an Annual Lenten Traditional Street Play depicting the Passion, Trial, Crucifixion and Death of Our Savior Lord Jesus Christ. The town plaza, the streets were transformed into a real Roman Empire Mania where two hundred (200) casts and crew of local parishioners and Medinanhons clad in Roman costumes performed the Passion Scenes into a Real Life Story of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Devotees and tourists were in real meditation as they witnessed the trial of Jesus, Caiphas accusing Jesus, Pilate investigating Jesus, King Herod mocked Jesus, the freeing of Barabas and Christ to be crucified, the washing of the hands of Pontius Pilate, the Scourging at
the Pillar, carrying of the Cross of Jesus, Simon of Cyrene helping Jesus carry his Cross, scene: Judas commits suicide, Christ Fell three (3) times, the Cry of the Women of Jerusalem, Veronica wipes the face of Jesus, the Seven Last Words and the Death of Jesus on the Cross. This year, added scene was the Triumphant Entry of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem-Palm Sunday which was shown on Holy Thursday – April 2, 2015- along with the Last Supper Scene, the Denial of Peter, the Betrayal of Judas. All these scenes turned the devotees and the tourists into deep meditation and made their Holy Week a Blessed One. In an interview, the Honorable Mayor Ken Nino T. Uyguangco told Cagayan Times that Hinuklog 2015 will set a trend for the Tourism Industry in the Municipality of Medina as it will bring foreign, domestic and local tourists to the town and help boost its economic growth. Investors will pour their investments and help develop the
economic growth of the locality. He further added that the Lenten Festival next year will start during Palm Sunday and ends on Easter Sunday. AVANTE MEDINA! He says. The writer in his interviews of the devotees found out that devotees were coming from Albay, Bohol, Ozamis City, Kidapawan City, Cagayan de Oro City, Bohol, a foreigner from Belgium married to a Filipina, Butuan, Surigao, Cotabato, General Santos City, Manila, Bukidnon and other parts of the country came to the HINUKLOG 2015 and made a difference in their Lenten Meditation. At A Glance – Medina is a peaceful and prayerful town in Misamis Oriental, a community which is spiritually enriched, politically aware, environmentally conscious, economically stable, culturally enhanced and socially balanced. Medina is also known for golden voices of its populace, beautiful dances and stage plays. Tail end of 1978 Teens Theater
Association was organized which was being supported by the Kagayan Oro Theater Association (KOTA) through the able support of Edibel Villarando, Neil Stokie, Boy Nick Pilapil and Joselito Tiro, Jr. and under the leadership of Mrs. Luz Calingin Reyes as President and Production Manager. The plays were instruments of evangelization in every chapel of the Parish. In 1979, the first Passion Street Play was played and shown in Medina which was supported by Rev. Fr. Villamil and the Local Government Unit of Medina during the time of Mayor Tonying Reyes. Sr. 2010-2013, through the initiative of former Mayor Pacifico “Jojo”Pupos, Jr. in his younger days was able to witness the Passion Street Play, made a decision to strengthen and expand the community theater responsible for the historic street plays. With his efforts being supported by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) with the warmth support of Mr. Felimon b.

The casts were then given the proper trainings in theater and the arts-workshops on community theaters which made them great performers, hence HINUKLOG is now running on its 5th Year in which in the tourism industry is the ripe time to be part and partial to be considered as a TOURIST ATTRACTION. Edu Doremon is Jesus Christ, a native of Medina has made a paradigm on the faith of the people as he internalizes his role in actual relevant acting for the devotees to meditate. The Production team
really has made a great STREET SHOW under the leadership of Rodrigo E. Edjesca-Chairman, Raul M. Barcelona-Production Manager, Allan P. B arcelonaExecutive Producer, Nelson P.
