Sen. JV Ejercito to grace 2014 JCI Nat’l Convention CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Senator JV Ejercito is set to grace the much-awaited annual gathering of some 1,200 members of the Junior Chamber International Philippines (Jaycees) on Saturday, October 11, at the Limketkai Atrium, this city . The Senator said he is looking forward to a fruitful participation in the national convention activities and fellowship time with his fellow Jaycees from various local chapters all over the Philippines. “Ï see to it not to miss the annual JCI National because it is always filled with learning and fun, and at the same time, it is our renewal of commitment for JCI’s social advocacies for the country and as active members of JCI Philippines,” Ejercito said. As JCI’s former National President for Asia and Pacific in 1998, Senator Ejercito is tasked to lead the Presidential Ball and Turn-Over Ceremonies of the organization on Saturday night , October 11. JCI chapters presently exist in more than 6,000 communities in more than 100 countries throughout the world. JCI members meet, learn, grow and create positive change. They train to become better leaders, organize projects in the areas of Business, Individual, Community, and International Development.
Building local, national and international networks, they draw on the experience of JCI alumni who have succeeded in various facets of life and who provide assistance when required. Representing countless occupations and skills, Jaycees are creative, bold leaders who are developing new skills, laying new foundations, and establishing new friendships and networks. Jaycees believe in the advancement of the global community and the creation of positive change by improving themselves and the world around us. They meet at local, national, and international events to exchange ideas and share best practices. They also learn from dynamic speakers and trainers in interesting and interactive seminars and presentations. A Jaycee grows personally and professionally because he learns by doing and actively organizing projects and activities that benefit communities and the society in general. ( Rikki Mathay/A Mediante)
JR Borja’s 50th death anniversary remembered By MARK FRANCISCO Photos courtesy of CITY INFORMATION OFFICE
Consuelo Dancel-Sison, the first cousin of the late Mayor Justiniano Borja.
THE city of Cagayan de Oro remembered with fondness and honor what many consider as the city hero, Mayor Justiniano Borja, during his 50th death anniversary last October 3, 2014. During the time, the second and third level of the JR Borja General Hospital East Wing was also inaugurated. Court of Appeals Justice Romulo Borja, the mayor’s son, led the commemoration together with Mayor Oscar Moreno. During the activity, the younger Borja appreciated Moreno’s efforts in transforming the then dilapidated hospital to a high standard medical facility that it is today. He even commended Moreno to the extent of likening him to his father. “I am inspired by what you are doing. There is now vivacity at the hospital. I see a lot of life,” Borja said. Justiniano Borja was born on July 6, 1912 to Judge Candelario Borja and Consuelo Dancel-Borja. After passing the bar, he married Dulce Valdehuesa
at the onset of World War II. In 1953, then President Ramon Magsaysay appointed him mayor. This became the turnaround in his life as constituents in Cagayan de Oro took notice of his governance style. By sheer political will, he persisted constructing a market in what was then cogon land. This became what is now the Cogon public market. The then public market in Divisoria was converted into six mini-parks. This is now the Divisoria of today, dividing the RN Abejuela and Tirso Neri streets. Borj was also instrumental in constructing the Amphitheater which was the site of Miss Cagayan de Oro pageants during the time. He waged an anti-corruption war at City Hall, cracking down on erring employees. He also ordered police officers to not hesitate arresting rich scions as long as they violated the law. In short, he had political will. Borja died in office on October 3, 1964 while on a trip in Manila.

Happy wife,Happy Life 8 “Have your spouse hurt your intentionally or unintentionally?” “Have they made a promise they did not keep?” “Have you experience a shouting match with your spouse?” Allow me to start a new series about the POISONS OF MARRIAGE. In my years of counselling and life coaching, there is one root cause to most of the unresolved conflicts I’ve encountered. Care to ask? Maybe, your guess is as good as mine. PRIDE! With pride; nobody wins in a battle; both parties will come out hurt and wounded. PRIDE will not make the RELATIONSHIP SURVIVE. THE VOICE OF PRIDE I had a personal experience; I was hurt by the one I loved most, and that is my loving wife. Iba yung sakit na mararamdaman kung nanggaling sa mahal mo sa buhay. Expected na siya kapag galing sa iba; pero kapag galing sa mahal mo sa buhay iba ang dating. Di ba may bumubulong sa isipan mo, bakit ako magso-sorry? “She started this! It’s her fault, not mine!” “Siya ang may problema, siya ang dapat magbago!” “Matagal na niya ginagawa ito sa akin.” PRIDE BUILDS WALL Since you do not want to be hurt again; it is normal for you to protect yourself. Part of it is by buildings walls; the wall will separate you from the person who is causing your pain. Shutting your door and locking yourself inside a
room is a manifestation of your pride. Emotional stone walling is an indication that you refuse to communicate. You do not speak with each other. You do not answer his/her calls; nor reply to his/her text messages. PRIDE BREEDS RESENTMENT The wounds of pain and hurt did not yet heal. Once the wound is left untreated; it will breed resentment in your mind and heart. The feeling of pain and injustice will be replayed over and over again The wounds will be infected; once infection is not cured it will now move on to the next stage. PRIDE LEADS TO UNFORGIVENESS If you are always thinking about your hurt and how unjustly you have been treated; your heart will harden. Once your heart hardens, you will try blocking all kinds of feelings and emotions. Then your emotional heart will stop pumping, and will soon die. Once it dies, it will lead to bitterness and unforgiveness. You have made a decision and a resolution not to forgive. COST OF PRIDE There is one direction you are heading which is unavoidable; that is if you’re too proud to apologize to your spouse, and if you choose to live in pride. The costs of your pride are these; relationships will be destroyed, families broken apart, kids are devastated and scarred for the rest of their lives. You know how pride will turn into 5 to 10 years away from now? It will turn to REGRET.

TAN by CHINKEE
“Chinkee, I know I am making the right decision. Kung alam mo lang kung ano ang ginawa niya. Sobra na siya. Parati na akong lugi. Definitely, I will not live in regret!” Come on; listen to yourself, it is PRIDE talking. “I will not live in regret. I have never seen anyone who made a decision when they are emotionally upset and live without the feeling of REGRET.” Have you exhausted all possibilities? Have you really made an effort to talk; to communicate or to reconnect? Have you ask for outside intervention like people who care for you? Have you tried professional counselling to make your marriage work? Never allow PRIDE to get into your way of loving each other. Rekindle the fire inside each other’s heart. Keep it burning and let it shine. Be an example to other married couples who are struggling with the same situation. Do not plant the seed of PRIDE. Do not water and nurture it. Once you feel PRIDE in your heart; UPROOT IT immediately! So how can we remove PRIDE in a relationship? Please catch my next blog for the answer. Have a great and a blessed day ahead of you!

Helping struggling pilgrims through positivity The world is a vampire - Bullet with Butterf ly Wings, Smashing Pumpkins (1995) AND indeed it is. For it is written in 2 Corinthians 4:34 that “the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing (sic) Christ, who is the likeness of God.” No matter how we espouse positivity, there admittedly are negative atmospheres lurking in every corner of the city. Even as early as 9 in the morning, there are already sex solicitors abounding near the vicinity of Cruz Taal. These young
ladies are not from CDO, they may come from Misor or Bukidnon. On top of that, my heart sank last night upon learning that my favorite TV pastor from the 1990s’ 7th Heaven was actually a pedophile in real life. So how do we keep our sanity intact and avoid these tempations from a worldly life which is parasitic in nature? The good news is hope for eternal salvation still floats in our society. There are various Heavensent individuals and groups who are doing their own specific ways to guide us sinning pilgrims to the right path. Two such groups are R

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18) - The cosmic energies are rumbling quietly today, yet you know that there are more changes on the horizon. Accordingly, you might feel pressure to take action if you’re dissatisfied with your most significant relationships. However, you don’t need to force any issues today; the river of change is flowing right on schedule even if you’re not aware of it. PISCES (February 19 – March 20) - Your comfort level might be surprisingly high today, even if stress fades in and out all day. Although you have pressing responsibilities at work, it’s still healthy to set aside some personal time for your own adventures. Relationship dynamics will likely grow more confusing in the days ahead, requiring extra effort to straighten things out. ARIES (March 21 – April 19) - Although you might be offered a chance to take it easy today, nothing comes without a cost. The problem is that even if you manifest a mini-retreat, unexpressed emotions can build in intensity until you must do something about the situation. Be daring and share what’s on your mind now with a close friend or coworker, but watch the tone of your delivery so you don’t stir up petty disputes. TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) - Scheduling time to recharge your emotional batteries is a good idea today, especially if your work duties are overwhelming. Avoid the trap of believing you have to stay productive every minute of the day. Even if a melodrama unfolds nearby, there’s no need to make it worse by throwing your fuel on the fire. Instead, remain calm, cool and collected now; finding pleasure in the little things rejuvenates your soul.

Daily HOROSCOPE CANCER (June 22 – July 22) - You are inclined to draw a line in the sand today. If someone rubs you the wrong way, he or she might receive a lot more resistance than bargained for because you are ready to defend what is rightfully yours. Nevertheless, your real strength comes from your tenacity. LEO (July 23 – August 22) - You might think that you could lose your chance to do something very exciting if you don’t initiate action immediately. However, it’s more likely that your current situation is progressing along nicely and it will just take longer than you wish to reach fruition. Acting impulsively today isn’t your smartest move and could agitate others. Do your best to smooth over any ruffled feathers and wait for the right opportunity to ripen in its own time.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) - Clever communication comes naturally to you, but something seems quite different now. Although you maintain a certain point of view, you aren’t inspired to say much about it. You might not even share anything at all. Despite the peer pressure to spill your secrets, it’s crucial to trust your inner voice today, even if it still takes a while to create the positive change you seek.
rock bands featuring only composiitons with positive lyrics was initiated. The organizers were surprised because more than 30 bands auditioned. They had not anticipated the influx of the talented young guys and gals because they thought that there were only a few rock bands in the city which were
interested in the Christian genre. They were wrong. Many evangelical churches based here deployed their worship musicians to demonstrate their original rock compositions. It was the huge success of the 1st Dayeg Battle of Christian Bands that inspired Rhyan Casiño of R Productions and Pastor John De Cleene of New J 103.3 FM to pursue a second edition of Dayeg. Again, dozens of bands screened. The second elimination round will be this coming October 28, 2014 at Limketkai Mall. Watch out for that! Footnote: I have just finished watching Left

Special Gospel of the day: Luke11:2728(October10, 2014-Friday) Luke 11:27-28- Blessed [is] the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. But he said, Yea rather, blessed [are] they that hear the word of God, and keep it: This gospel proves that Mary is the most blessed woman who was born in the history of mankind. Reasons, mother of Jesus and she heard the words of her son from womb to tomb. Although we will not become like Mary in motherhood but we can be like her in listening to the words of Jesus Christ. What will be the results of not listening to the voice of God? In Hebrews 12:25See that ye “refuse” not him that speaks.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22) - You may not be very inspired today; in fact, you might feel downright lazy. Nevertheless, keeping up with your basic routine is essential because falling behind could make the days ahead more difficult. On the other hand, it’s not necessary to drive yourself harder than required. Do what you must, but reserve your energy while you can. Others might not even notice that you’re giving it any less. LIBRA (September 23 – October 22) - An unresolved emotional issue may stubbornly work its way to the surface today while the Moon is traveling through your 8th House of Deep Sharing. Even if you aren’t comfortable expressing your feelings, at least make an effort to reach out and communicate now. Remember, you can’t please everyone and you will only make yourself unhappy if you try. SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21) - Your closest friends mean more to you than ever, but the obstinate Taurus Moon’s presence in your 7th House of Relationships makes it tough to accept the advice from someone who is trying to help. Even if you don’t agree with others now, remember that the real argument is not with them, but with an aspect of yourself. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21) - Letting go of the details is tough today, even though this approach isn’t normally a problem for you. There’s no reason to be too hard on yourself. Cut yourself some slack and take the time you need to get all your ducks in order. Clearing your slate now opens the way for bigger and more exciting projects to enter your life. CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19) - You may believe that your closest friend or partner isn’t giving you the support you need now, but you’re cautiously optimistic about reaching your long-term goals, anyhow. However, you might grow self-protective and distance yourself emotionally from others in order to take care of business.

Meet Dodu Abrio, world music artist By MARK FRANCISCO, Assistant Lifestyle Editor
JUST like any average male teen, Dodu Abrio was rocking the alternative scene in CDO for years, jamming with various bands and sometimes engaging in solo gigs with only his voice and rhythm guitar in tow. Then in 2012, the then 32-year-old Dodu underwent a transformation. Just like a pupa emerging from a cocoon, Dodu matured from an angst-driven rock lifestyle to some-
thing more meaningful – world music. World music is a genre whose roots are indigenous to a certain place. “Napansin ko lang nga daghan diay ta puwede mahimong inspiration for music composition diri sa atoa. Dili na ta kinahanglan nga mag-awat-awat pa sa mga rock songs sa gawas. Para nako, mas tsada ning world music kay tubong ato g’yud ni. Mao ni atong kaugalingong kultura,”
Dodu said. Dodu has embraced world music so much that he spearheads organizing world music events here in the city. For instance, he was instrumental in the success of the second edition of Playing for Change held last September 20, 2014 at the Provincial Capitol Grounds. The advocacy of that concert was lasting peace in Mindanao. Dodu Abrio and his Viajeros bands were joined by The 7 Tribes, Kalabitz, Nobela, Rage of Laura and many more during the event. So he could tour around Mindanao, Dodu formed the Viajeros earlier this year. They are Israel Cain Pioquinto for drums and percussion, Karlo Abrio for bass guitar, Rex Añasco for djembe, bamboo flute and kubing and Matthew Estremadura for bamboo flute and djembe. Together, they now have seven original compositions in Cebuano and Tagalog and they are planning to put up an album by December. Prior to that, Dodu has a lot of concert gigs to prove to his fans that he is serious in his music. The following are the concerts which he guested – One CDO in 2011, Int4ernational HIV Candlelight Memorial 013, Earth Hour 2013, International Peace Day 2013, Help Bohol benefit concert at Valencia City Gym, Bangon Visayas Benefit Concert 2013, Playing for Change Day 2013, International HIV Candlelight Memorial 2014, Tingug ug Tulunggon Mindanao Alang sa Kalinaw ug Kahiusahan at MSU-IIT (an NCCA project) and of course, Playing for Change Day 2014. Yet Dodu is not sitting on his laurels. He enjoys promoting world music in CDO. Because world music is here to stay. It’s not a fad. It’s not just rock after all.
