rides high on good economy V
ista Residences, the vertical arm of the country's largest homebuilder, Vista Land, is upbeat about its landmark condominium development, The Loop, in Cagayan de Oro City, as the condo market grows alongside Philippine economy. “The country’s earning of investment grade status from three of the world’s largest credit rating agencies Fitch, Standard & Poors, and Moody’s Investors Services bids well for our economy,” said Emelia N. Lustado, Vista Land Northern Mindanao Cluster Head. Citing news reports, Lustado said Mindanao’s economy grew by 6.3% in 2013, accounting for 14.32% of the total Philippine economy. Its BOI-registered investment projects also posted an increase of 279% last year in key sectors including real estate. “These are expected to generate benefits that will ripple across the nation, including Mindanao, and translate to more relevant investments and jobs for the people,” Lustado said. Mindanao continues to be the country’s food basket and source of major industrial crops. Northern Mindanao is a consist top agriculture producer, bringing more growth to CDO being the regional center. “As the region progresses, there is a parallel improvement in lifestyle and a growing demand for better homes,” Lustado said, adding that with more resources, homebuyers are able to
acquire better homes in residential developments such as The Loop. The Loop is a 25-storey condominium development within CDO’s central business and commercial district, the center of economic growth in the city. It will rise along Rosario Crescent at the Limketkai Center, the heart of all the action in business, leisure, and culture in CDO. The Loop will have two buildings called the North and the South towers, with each one having 522 units, from studio to one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom units. Amenities are housed in The Canopy located at the ground level, including a spacious lobby, adult swimming pool, kiddie pool, fitness gym, and multi-purpose hall. There will be round-theclock concierge services and an advanced security system. The Parking Podium will be at the second and third levels, and garden residential units at the fourth level. Residential condo units will continue from the fifth to the 24th level, with exclusive penthouse units at the 25th floor. The roof deck will be turned into a Sky Garden, offering a majestic view of CDO’s cityscape and the region’s mountain range in the distance. The Loop will give its unit owners urban comforts and conveniences while living, working, and doing business within the central business district, making this condo community an icon of modern lifestyle in the city.
“The Loop is the brightest spark in CDO’s real estate industry, offering homebuyers a living proposition unparalleled in the market,” said Lustado, adding that unit owners will enjoy the best of both worlds--a relaxing and exclusive life at The Loop with all the modern excitement within the CBD just a few steps away.

Taong bastos http://www.chinkeetan.com/
TAN by CHINKEE
“CHINKEE, ano ang gagawin mo sa mga taong bastos?” May kilala ka bang taong bastos? Naranasan mo na bang mabastos? Ano ang naging pakiramdam mo nang ika’y mabastos? Aminin man natin o hindi, may mga taong kahit may pinagaralan, hindi marunong gumalang at rumespeto sa kapwa. Wala naman kasi ito sa antas ng edukasyon na naabot ng isang tao, kundi nasa pag-uugali. Kung minsan nga, kung sino pa itong may mataas na pinag-aralan, sya pa ‘tong ubod ng matapobre. Masakit magsalita sa kapwa at wagas kung maka-pang-mata. MGA URI NG PAMBABASTOS MAMALIITIN KA They will look down on you and berate you. They will say hurtful words like: “Wala kang kwentang tao!” “Ang tanga tanga mo! Hindi ka na natuto!” “Stupida! Boba! Wala kang talagang silbi!” “Mas mabuti pang wala ka na sa buhay ko!”
“Pabigat ka talaga!” Wow!!! If you have heard something like these lines, I’m sure sugatan ka because these words can really cut like a knife. Tagos hanggang kaluluwa ang mga ganitong pananalita. Apektado ang iyong kaisipan, puso at damdamin. Grabe! Ang sakit nito, lalo na kung paulit-ulit mong naririnig. Tumatanim ito sa isipan mo kaya tuwing maaalala mo talaga namang napakatindi ng sakit! Akala mo siguro sa mga pelikula at teleserye lang naririnig ang mga ganitong linya. Well, masakit mang isipin, meron talagang mga ‘kontrabida’ sa tunay na buhay. Mga taong walang ibang ginawa kundi hamakin ang pagkatao mo, ipagdiinan ang mga kahinaan at pagkakamali mo at ipag-duldulan sa pagmumukha mo at sa buong pagkatao mo na ‘loser’ ka. Ipapakita at ipaparamdam nya sayo kung gaano sya kalaki at kung gaano ka kaliit. Minsan hindi nga sila nagsasalita sa iyo ng masasakit pero ang turing at pakikitungo naman nila sa iyo ay ubod ng gaspang. SISIGAWAN KA Nasigawan ka na ba? Yung makalaglag baga at maka-tanggal tonsil na sigaw! Yung walang kaabog-abog kang bubulyawan! Ibubuhos ang isang daang porsyento ng sama ng loob niya at walang ka-preno-preno sa pagsasalita! Tinalo pa ang Mayon Volcano sa pagsabog ng galit niya. At huwag ka ng umasa na makakapgsalita ka pa o makakapagpaliwanag man lang dahil hindi ka nya bibigyan ng pagkakataon. Aakusahan ka at sasabihan ng masasakit na salita ng di muna inaalam ang iyong panig. Para silang mga attack dogs na nasa attack mode. Hindi ka nila titigilan hangga’t di ka nakakagat at nasusugatan!

HIHIYAIN KA Pagagalitan ka at pagsasabihan sa harap ng ibang tao. Mag-eeskandalo at gagawa ng eksena tapos sila ang bida. At wag ka! Umi-english pa yan ng bonggang-bongga para mas intimidating ang dating! Gagawa at gagawa yan ng paraan para maiparamdam sa iyo kung gaano ka kapalpak, kung gaano kalaki ang pagkakamali at kung gaano siya kagaling. At gaya nga ng sabi ko, gagawin nya yan in public para sikat sya. Ang mga maliliit na bagay, pinapalaki nya. Ang kanilang tanging hanagarin ay manghiya at hindi ang kaayusan ng problema. Kung naranasan mo na ito, huwag kang mag-alala, hindi ka nag-iisa! ANO ANG GAGAWIN MO SA MGA GANITONG SITWASYON? Instead of getting angry with these type of people, we should have compassion for them. Bakit Dapat Kaawaaan? Higit silang nakakaawa dahil namumuhay sila sa poot, galit at inis. Ang lungkot kaya ng buhay pag lagi kang may sama ng loob! Walang puwang ang kaligayahan sa kanila dahil puno ng negative feelings ang mga puso at pagiisip nila. Bukod dito mas mataas ang probability na magkakaroon sila ng mga karamdamang tulad ng high-blood pressure, heart-attack at stroke. According to doctors, marami na ang namatay dahil sa sobrang stress, bitterness at galit! Nakakaawa din ang mga taong kasama nya sa bahay. Mabuti ka pa nga at hindi 24/7 ang salo mo sa mga paninigaw at galit nya, eh ang asawa at mga anak nya o kung sino pang ibang kasama nya sa bahay walang ibang choice kundi ang pagtiisan ang mala-halimaw niyang pag-uugali. Can you imagine the mental and emotional torture sa mga taong nakapaligid sa kanya?! Higit sa lahat siguradong may malalim na pinaghuhugutan ang mga galit nila. May dahilan kung bakit sila bitter, bastos at pala-sigaw. Pwedeng ginawa rin yun sa kanila ng ibang tao kaya for them ‘its pay-back time’. Maaari ding hindi masaya ang chilhood days nila kaya dala nila ito hanggang sa pagtanda nila. Pwedeng rejected din sila ng family nila at naghahanap ng atensyon kaya sila may ganitong pag-uugali, Yan at marami pang mga dahilan na hindi natin alam.
Hindi ba’t mas dapat talaga natin silang kaawaan? HUWAG PATULAN Huwag mo na syang sabayan. Bibigyan mo lang sya ng pagkakataon na lalong magalit. Ikatutuwa lang din nya ang pagpatol mo dahil yan ang gusto nilang mangyari! It gives them so much satisfaction when you enter into their arena. It’s like getting inside a ring with them and engaging yourself sa pasimuno nilang away. Naku gustong-gusto talaga nila yan. So the best way to make them feel that they are a looser is not giving in when they engage you in a fight. There are some people who always seem angry and continuously look for fight and conflict. Walk away; the battle they are fighting isn’t with you but with themselves. Kaya ibuhos mo nalang sa iba ang lakas mo. Masasayang lang ang energy, laway at effort mo kung papatol ka sa mga awayan at sigalot na wala namang magandang maidudulot sayo. Mapapagod ka lang at ma-sstress Kung nagsisisigaw at nagwawala sya, then let her/him be, siya rin ang magmumukang kahiya-hiya. Umiwas ka na lang. Kung gusto niyang makipag-usap sa kainitan ng ulo niya kindly tell him/her that this is not the right time to talk (mapa-personal man ito, phone, email or facebook). Magpalipas nalang muna ng inis at galit at tsaka kayo magusap. Kasi walang pupuntahan ang usapan ninyo kundi, sumbatan, bulyawan at murahan. So don’t give them pleasure by giving in to what they want. Eliminate the unnecessary. HUWAG TULARAN Nakita mo naman siguro kung gaano kapangit ang ganitong pag-uugali. Minsan kahit pogi at maganda ang isang tao pero kapag bastos naman at pangit ang ugali parang pangit na rin sila. Do you find these people attractive? Then don’t be like them! Huwag mo silang tularan. Instead, be a good example to them. Who knows? Baka ikaw pa pala ang maging dahilan para magbago sila. Huwag mo ng tularan ang mga bagay na alam mo namang mali. Huwag mo ding gawin ang mga bagay na ayaw mong gawin sayo. Maging mabuting halimbawa ka sa bawat matang nakatingin sayo. Make a difference in your home, in your workplace, in your school, wherever you are, live a life that

is worth watching and imitating. HUWAG MATAKOT Matutong manindigan! You cannot control people’s action but you can control your reaction towards their action. Take charge! Don’t let them manipulate you. You’re in control of how you treat yourself and how you think and feel about yourself. So learn to make a stand and take charge! Kung wala ka namang ginagawang masama, wala kang dapat ikatakot. Huwag kang magpapasindak sa ganitong uring mga tao. If they have issues with you, tell them to confront you privately. Wala namang hindi naaayos sa masinsinan at mahinanhon na paguusap. Hindi malulutas ang problema sa kakasigaw at kakabulyaw, lalo lang nitong paguguluhin ang sitwasyon. Huwag ka lang din basta tumayo at walang kibo na tatanggapin ang lahat ng masasakit na salita at pang-aalispusta! Ipaglaban mo ang iyong dignidad bilang isang tao (hindi ibig sabihin nito na makikipagaway at makikipag-sabunutan o suntukan ka, but live in such a manner that will prove them wrong their accusations against you). Hindi ka pinalaki ng iyong mga magulang para bastusin, kundi ika’y galangin. God created you and He is the only one who can judge you. Above all, let GOD fight for you. Let Him take the vengeance for you. If God is for you then who can be against you? As long as you’re doing what is pleasing in His eyes, you can be sure that He will bless you and will punish those who do wicked things against you. The Bible clearly teaches us that He opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble (Proverbs 3:34). Hindi ikaw ang kalaban ng mga ganitong klaseng tao kundi ang DIYOS. You can be sure that as you choose to humble yourself, He will exalt you and those who exalt themselves will be humbled (Luke 18:14). THINK. REFLECT. APPLY. Have you been hurt by a taong bastos? What did you do? How did you respond? Have you stood up for your right and what you believed in?

The Tale of The Broken Chicken and Then Some FOR those of us who are pestered with the harsh realities of life, urban legends are an escapism. Urban legends may be true. Or they may be not. Nevertheless, urban legends have been equated as myths and whether people believe them or not, they are a respite from the harsh grind of day-to-day life. Here’s one anecdote to ponder…the tale of the broken chicken. In Pinoy parlance, broken chicken refers to cooked chicken which is broken into several parts: the leg (paa), the wings (petcho), the feet (isaw), the breasts,
etc. In fact, chicken parts were featured in the recent indie movie The Janitor but that’s another story. There are a lot of chicken houses in CDO – Lechon Manok ni Señor Pedro, Tita Fannie’s, Ogis, Steve’s Barbecue and your fave street food corners at Cogon, etc. Each of them sells “broken chicken”. In fact, there’s an eatery at Cruz Taal called The Broken Chicken. Atty. Joe Pallugna, also a local columnist, has written extensively about it in 2008 but here I am now presenting it with a twist. Sometime in 2008, an American went to a carinderia in Cruz Taal then

known as Perla’s Eatery and ordered whole chicken. He then specifically instructed the ser ver not to chop his chicken as his fingers gonna be the one devouring it. But the server seemingly forgot and when the American was served his chopped food, he scowled b ack, “Who broke my chicken?$#%” I don’t know if this tale is true but since then, Perla’s Eatery at Cruz Taal has been known as The Broken Chicken. *** Since The Day of the Dead is fast approaching, let’s talk about a local urban legend about…

If not, you may be planning a trip for another month, perhaps going for educational purposes, such as to attend a workshop. You might have agreed to some overseas business travel. You should feel especially energetic, enthusiastic, and optimistic now. You’ve done well thanks to your diligent work, and you should continue on that path. PISCES (February 19 – March 20) - Instinct and determination drive you toward unconventional plans for making money, Pisces. A finance counselor or other professional could be involved. You may see this as an opportunity to restore your ailing bank account. You may have future purchases in mind, perhaps even a new home. ARIES (March 21 – April 19) - Today you may feel a passionate attraction for someone intelligent who perhaps makes a living in law, education, or publishing, Aries. Conversations with this person could touch on some deep issues, such as spiritual matters, the human psyche, or the nature of the universe. TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) - This could be a quiet day for you and your partner, Taurus. You could spend some time reflecting on past achievements and future goals. It’s important to get a clear picture about the past so you can draw conclusions and make workable plans. If you have a family, you’ll probably be interested in activities that everyone will enjoy. Make some time to get together.

Daily HOROSCOPE CANCER (June 22 – July 22) - The arrival of a surprise visitor could generate mixed feelings, Cancer. On the one hand, you’re probably glad to resume contact with this person. On the other, because you weren’t expecting any guests, it could create extra work for you - as if you didn’t already have enough on your plate! Recruit others to help with necessary tasks so you can enjoy your evening. LEO (July 23 – August 22) - Someone who’s been ill and perhaps undergone surgery might phone you today, Leo. You could invite this person to join you for a little social gathering. Several people could be involved. All of them will have some interesting and useful information to offer. Natives of Leo in particular might attract your attention.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) - All the positive energy generated by the celestial atmosphere seems to come together today as you experience a rush of sensual passion for a romantic partner, Gemini. An unexpected encounter could not only fulfill this desire but also bring you closer. If you aren’t already committed, expect to discuss it tonight. Be careful to exercise restraint.
well…the dead. Sometime in October 5 this year, a funeral was held at Oro Gardens. Prior to the funeral, a requiem mass was celebrated. The mass presider was already an old priest. Prior to the Holy Communion, he noticed a young priest lurking in the corner and he motioned the young priest to come up to him and assist in the distributing of the Holy Bread. The young priest obliged and before the parting rite, as the presider went on acknowledging the younger priest who assisted him, he was perplexed because he was nowhere to be found.
The Chameleon
Fresh Gospel of the day: Luke6:1216(October29, 2014-Wednesday) Luke 6:12-16 - It was at this time that He went off to the mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in prayer to God. And when day came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also named as apostles: Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew; and Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alpheus, and Simon who was called the Zealot; Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor: Do you experience praying in solitude? Yes of course, there are many of us doing it at the adoration chapel and in the church. What is the reason behind this kind of prayer in quiet atmosphere? Listening to God is necessary and it is only possible if you are in a solemn area with Him. Take note, our conscience which is the little voice of God can be heard only if we close our mouth.
Biblical reflection
Bro. Edcel L. Closas This is the only way to have an ultimate union with God. On the other hand, Jesus chose the 12 disciples despite of their limitations and weaknesses in life. This means that God calls us to become qualified and He never calls us because we are qualified. No one deserves to serve God but He allows us to work in His vineyard due to His infinite Love: Printing paid by: Neneth - Bobong Balino- Dr. Edith, PhD- Tony Jordan - CDO . S t .

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22) - With the planetary atmosphere today, your sensual nature is in full bloom. If there’s a romantic partner nearby, that person should be on guard! There may be a lot of other people around, so a chance to be alone probably won’t present itself until this evening. If you don’t connect with a potential partner, at least you’ll have a good time. LIBRA (September 23 – October 22) - You might have to play nurse today, Libra. A love partner could claim to feel unwell, and you might expend a lot of energy trying to make your friend feel better. Don’t overdo it. There may be psychological factors at work. Your friend could be jealous of the attention you’ve been giving family and friends. SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21) - You’re generally focused on the material world, Scorpio, but something about the energy generated by today’s planetary alignments causes you to look within. You might think about the joys and pains of past family gatherings and wonder how they affect your life now. This is a positive, healing process, so don’t fight it. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21) - A group event could put you in contact with a number of people interested in doing a healing meditation for the planet. This sort of activity can work wonders to strengthen the bond among those performing it. You might not talk much during the discussions, but you’re apt to be in total agreement with the idea. Enjoy your day! CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19) - Happiness reigns in the home as everyone feels the energy changing, Capricorn. It seems that the end of one cycle brings closure, and now you’re free to start a new journey of rebirth. You, above all, are apt to feel a powerful rush of intuition, which could reveal positive events coming up for you and those close to you.

Transfiguration of Jesus statue unveiled at Greenhills Story and Photos by MARK FRANCISCO Assistant Lifestyle Editor
A
20-foot statue of the Transfiguration of Jesus was erected and unveiled last Saturday at Greenhills Memorial Park just in time for All Saints Day and heralding the entry of the memorial park under the fold of Eternal Gardens Memorial Corporation. Earlier this year, Greenhills Memorial Park was acquired by Eternal Gardens Memorial Corporation and it is a trademark of the company to erect inspirational icons in their memorial parks. With this development, Greenhills Memorial Park now shares similar Transfiguration of Jesus statues with the Eternal Gardens Memorial Park in Santa Rosa,
Laguna and Concepcion, Tarlac. It is also the first memorial park owned by Eternal Gardens Memorial Park that is located in Metro Manila. With the addition of Greenhills Memorial Park into its fold, Eternal Gardens Memorial Corporation through its vice-president for marketing Joey Rivera is looking forward catering to its clients in Northern Mindanao with the quality the company has known – it is the first memorial park owned by the company outside Luzon. Located at a 17-hectare sprawling property in Bulua, Cagayan de Oro City, Greenhills Memorial Park is now 45 years old. Eternal Gardens Memorial Corporation is 43 years old. Greenhills Memorial Park counterparts are all located in Luzon: Baesa, Dagupan, Biñan, Balagtas, Lipa, Naga, Cabanatuan, Santa Rosa and
Concepcion. The Transfiguration of Jesus statue at Greenhills is being sculpted by National Artist Napoleon Abueva. It is inspired from the Transfiguration story in the Gospel of Mark where Jesus, the Son of God, transformed into a divine appearance. “It is the symbol of human nature meeting God. It is where temporal meets the eternal,” remarked Eternal Gardens Memorial Corporation president Benjamin Ramos during the unveiling rite. Located in the hills of Bulua, Greenhills Memorial Park is an ideal resting place for loved ones. It is surrounded by trees and a lot of greens. Fresh air embraces anyone who visits the place, perfect for your love one’s eternal rest. The memorial park is also the most developed in the city. However, Greenhills is also considered one GREENHILLS | Page C2
