LA MARA THON: 30 y ear s of ser vice to the comm unity MARATHON: year ears service community

By Bro. Edgar Ninofranco

When the LA Marathon started in 1986, your Brod Edgar “Egay” Ninofranco saw an article in the LA Times asking the community for volunteers to support the event. He signed up and was assigned as the coCaptain of Mile 20 Water Station located in front of the Musician’s Union building along Vine Street between Melrose & Willoughby Blvd. Mercedes Benz was the very first primary and title sponsor, of which awarded the prize money to both men & women winners.

Arrowhead, as the secondary sponsor, provided the drinking water and other supplies. Most of the Mile 15 volunteers back then were from different fraternity and sorority members from local universities and colleges.

and decided to reverse the race course, and as such Mile 15 water station became Mile 16. That change only lasted two years and a new race course was implemented.

APOGLA moved from Mile 16 to Mile 20 for several years. Another change happened and APOGLA was temporarily assigned to Mile 2 near Universal Studios for one year. Because of economic conditions, LA Marathon changed ownership, thus the now famous slogan “From the Stadium to the Sea” started. With this change, APOGLA found a new home in Mile 13 which is the half-way point of the race. The rest is history. We have been very consistent, hard working and very happy to be part of this event. From Mercedes Benz, to Honda and now Skechers as the major title sponsor, LA The following year 1987, Brod Egay, being the Marathon as the 3rd most popular marathon in the US is Vice President of the Association at that time, discussed still attracting the best and elite long-distance runners the idea of supporting the marathon with Brod President from all over the world.

Christian David and presented it to the membership who collectively agreed to support the service project yearly.

As members and families of APOGLA, we Since then, Mile 15 Water Station became an exclusive should all be proud to be involved and supportive of group for APOGLA members and families. After a few this yearly community event, which we have been doing years, however, the event organizers did some trial study for the past thirty years. Kudos to everyone!

PRESIDENT’S MESSA GE MESSAGE I am publishing the result of the survey given from our 1st General Membership meeting last January 21, 2017. Like I have mentioned before, surveys are taken to gather information relevant to the group in which we will use for everyone’s benefit. My administration is focused in delivering information. We all know that knowledge is power because it empowers people to achieve great results. The more knowledge a person gains, the more he/she is in control of his/her life. I would also like to acknowledge the many pools and talents that we have in the group. Many of our members have gained knowledge through the years so why not tap that knowledge and use it to our advantage! For talents from within, please bring it to my attention and I would look forward to talking to you.

Bear in mind that the information that will be provided will never be used for business opportunity. Instead, the main intent is to gain knowledge and that’s it. I believed that there is also a specialized knowledge that we do not have in our group. Therefore, I will seek help in that field of expertise. All speakers have to be assessed prior to presentation. I plan to have it an hour or so before our GMM meeting in order not to disrupt the assembly meeting. The person that will be providing the information should only impart knowledge. I know all this information can be retrieved from the web but isn’t it wonderful to get a live person to share his/her expertise so that we can all learn from his/her experience. A live speaker can engage us and create an environment so that we can ask questions on a more personal level. As an example, I have contacted one that can speak to us about living trust and will. This person is an outside expert on the field of documentation. I will let you know in advance when this will take place. Now, let me share the result of the survey. Out of 56 members present fromour first meeting, only 39 responded (I believed, there were some late comers too). Here goes:

COMMENTS / CONCERNS: - Good job, keep it up - Very good survey - Could be beneficial to everyone - Tie up between C3 & C7 - We need a competent person to serve as a resource speaker to these subjects

SUMMARY • We will tackle the first 5 concerns. They are: – Retirement – Health Care – Physical Fitness – Budgeting /Finances – Living Trust/ Will • Each session will be scheduled & announced. An hour will be allotted prior to our GMM. • SME (Subject Matter Expert) will be invited to talk about this information.

BO ARD OF DIRECT OR’S CORNER BOARD DIRECTOR’S Allow us, first of all, to thank board member Bro. Jimmy Bautista and his wifey Vilma for hosting the meeting last March 10 in his home in Pacoima.

Foremost in our agenda last meeting was to find the truth about a perceived notion that those who have not been “ritualized” have to go back to the mother country to have such rites there. Yours truly then sent a letter to the National Council to inquire if this is true. A reply to our letter dated Feb. 20, 2017, sent by Sis Evelyn Canete, National Council Secretary, stated that such an issue is under the jurisdiction of the fraternity and sorority collegiate chapter. It is obvious then that this issue has to be resolved by the chapter concerned. With her reply, she also sent us a copy of Articles of Association Code of By-Laws for Alumni Association for our perusal.

Second item we tackled was the preventive suspension of erring member and officers. After a thorough discussion of this particular issue a decision was reached thus, the board is in the process of preparing a resolution anent to this issue which could be incorporated in our Policies and Procedures.

The Voters Eligibility has been dealt also. A resolution to waive the voting policies regarding overseas workers, military-on-duty, out of state members and the likes has already been drafted for the signature of the board members.

The admin will be submitting an improved version of the budget. It will have some adjustment on revenues.

These are the issues that the board considers to be of utmost importance to us now. A quick and resolute action will hopefully steer us forward and pave the way for a smooth sailing of our organization.

Li ving On The Living “Not-So-Last” Lane!

By Bro. Ferdie Yambot

People may find it interesting coming from somebody who always preach living-life-tothe-fullest. Sometimes it feels frustrating, but yes, while the preachings (and the doings) remain the same, the pace had to appropriately adapt to retirement stage where our most crucial responsibility is caring for our six little angels and at times home and dogs sittings for our kids while they’re on cruises and long stretched travels.

Don’t get it wrong, we remain to enjoy serving our kids (especially the apos) as it is in “our” culture; good family values handed down thru generations. Just like our parents who never preached these stuff, but just led by example, we do all these, through our own unconditional willingness and volition. This is my clan’s legacy with high hopes that it will CONTINUE!!!

So much for the serious life matters….. and on to the wacky lessons we continue to LEARN: (the first one just happened lately) 1. It is not always good to insist that you are RIGHT! Stopped on a not-so-busy intersection where the red light just turned green, I heard a hi-revving motor (like in a car race), and I decided to take caution by not going right away! A long 5 seconds after the signal light turned green, a hi-speed car ran the red light…. And yes, had we/I insisted on being RIGHT, I and Rene would have been tragically crushed. Thanks a million to the good Lord, He still looks after us!

2. With my very own nature, I normally expect others to do the right thing EVERYTIME, and that was mainly because my trust in the brethren is absolute; though at times, it makes me somehow vulnerable. In fact, as I used to share whenever opportunity comes along, some may call it clannish that my social life is fairly limited to the brethren, as it is the only group that offers genuine and unconditional belonging. Always trying to be self-less with the services we do, our Vigilance in keeping the brethren on the right track must never soften. It’s been sensed, at times, that personal egos and “playing-hard-ball” tendencies get in the way; the bottomline is, “we MUST just always BEAR in mind that we’re doing all these for NOBODY, but APOGLA”. Be true to our Mission! Saying it straight and simple……. “We need to impose a Preventive Suspension for members/leaders who put APOGLA’s welfare in jeopardy “, and the process must be in place the SOONEST! My two cents worth.

FR OM MY POINT OF VIEW FROM

By Bro. Dan E. Nino MY ABIDING FAITH IN AMERICA (Editor’s note: This is the winning speech of Bro. Dan E. Nino delivered extemporaneously in Eclectic Dialectics Toastmasters Club of Cerritos. Bro. Dan will compete on March 25, 2017 in the Division Speech Contest at the Smart & Final Auditorium, City of Commerce.)

Whenever I watch the display of fireworks every 4th of July, I’m overwhelmed with emotions, great joy and pride. I get goose bumps. Tears of joy stream down my cheeks because of that pride and abiding faith in America. And because America had welcomed me, nurtured me, sheltered me, nourished me and cradled me that transformed for whatever I am today.

Yes, tears cascade down my cheeks whenever I hear the patriotic songs God bless America or America, the Beautiful.

Yes, whoever I am today, whatever I possess, whatever I have achieved, I owe it to America. I feel that America made me who I am today. I feel that I have achieved my American Dream. I feel thatI’m nothing without America.

If only immigrants like you and me can assimilate into the mainstream American society, be creative, willing to learn, willing to work hard, play by the rules and not a burden to our society, pay our correct taxes , obey our country’s laws and not commit crimes – we can succeed in America because the United States was built by immigrants like you and me. Except the Native Americans, we are all descendants of immigrants. Inventors who were immigrants and pioneers like Thomas Alva Edison (lightbulbs and phonographs), Alexander Graham Bell (telephone), the Wright Brothers (airplane) and modern-day inventors and innovators like Bill Gates (Microsoft), Steve Jobs (Apple Computers) and Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook)— had built America.

Despite the toxic, corrosive and divisive politics in our country, despite our domestic problems, America is still exceptional; the perceived notion that the United States is imperialist and policeman of the world, America is still greatest superpower and richest nation on earth. America is the last bastion of liberty and the last frontier of economic opportunity where an American Dream can be possible.

My friends, America doesn’t stop being great.

We have strong check and balance from the three co-equal branches of government. It’s difficult for one man to become dictator, authoritarian, or autocrat. We value our love for freedom, liberty, liberal democracy, pursuit of happiness and unbridled free expression and justice for all. And we have free press, the so-called Fourth Estate that informs the public not only the news but expose the venalities and wrong-doings of the powers that be. And a jury system that adjudicate court cases without fear for the poor, unlettered and the mighty.

No wonder, people from all over the world love to immigrate to America with some going through the dangers and risks just to find opportunity, to better their lives, to escape persecution, war, famine and poverty from their native countries.

There’s that strong sense that the ordinary people and middle class like you and me are considered the richest people in other countries.

Other nations are inspired whenever they watch the Rose Parade, whenever they visit Disneyland or Universal Studios, the Stature of Liberty, whenever they watch NBA games on television in their countries, whenever they watch halftime show of the super bowl, the Oscars and Grammy Awards, when our astronauts landed on the moon, by our many inventions that transformed the lives of many people around the world and many more – they are inspired by America.

In my motherland, the Philippines for instance, there’s an on-going rebellion by the communist rebels who want to supplant our form of government with communist ideology and the ISIS-inspired extremists who want to secede from the republic and some who have become bandits, kidnap people for ransom. Soldiers and civilians alike die almost every day in the name of religious and ideological beliefs, not to mention some sectors of our society who are killedwithout the due process in the guise of eliminating the drug menace.

America’s institutions are stable, our infrastructures are at par with the rest of the world with ribbons of endless freeways and highways. The United States especially in California where the weather is mild and pleasant —is a land of plenty. Everything can be grown here like tropical fruits and vegetables. We are abundant in everything. In Jordan for instance, 90 percent of their land is dessert.

The people there survived because of tourism. Yet, with a little problem, we whine and whimper. These are nothing compared to the problems of other countries. Yes, we are pampered in America.

Because of America, I am humbled and grateful.

Looking a ria ge During Lent att Mar Marria riag An Ideal Time for the Renewal of Our Marriages Lent seems to be the ideal time to look at marriage. How does our Lent journey shape what we are called to do in marriage?

A few decades ago, the word "obey" was removed from wedding vows. Instead we promised to love, honor and cherish each other.

Many years later, Jesuit philosopher John Kavanaugh, S.J. lamented how much we had lost by dropping the word “obey” from wedding vows. He said that the root of the word “obey” simply means to put the needs of another ahead of our own.

Obedience in this context has nothing about one dominating another - only two people pledging to put the needs of the other ahead of their own. What a wonderful idea. It seems that this is exactly what we are called to in a gospel-based marriage.

Called by Jesus to be Unselfish Now during these weeks of Lent we can take some time to examine our marriage. Do we love as deeply as we had originally intended when we first made our vows? As unselfishly? Whether we’ve been married 3 years or 30, this sacred season could be the start of a renewed relationship with our spouse, shaped by our experience of Lent.

We are invited by Jesus to put the needs of another ahead of our own.

We can deepen our commitments in marriage and even change the dynamics within our relationships through unconditional love. In loving this way, we transform not only our spouses but more importantly, ourselves.

For those of us who are parents, we have probably always put the needs of our children first – but our spouse? Yes, we care for each other, but do we put the other’s needs ahead of our own? And yet how profoundly would our marriages change if we simply lived that vow for a while?

During Lent, we can make “obey-ing” the special focus of our lives.

Instead of giving up chocolate, what if each day during Lent, we asked for the grace to be more unselfish in our marriage? As a first step, what if tomorrow, before we got out of bed, we asked God to help us love our spouse more? To put the needs of this life partner of ours ahead of our own?

Silencing our Disappointments This Lenten journey begins with prayer and moves into silence. We hold off on the sarcastic comment aimed at our spouse. We silence a cutting remark. We drop the correction before it comes out of our mouths. Neglect the pouting. Stop the stony silence when we are displeased. These behaviors can be long standing and not easy to change. Also, it might take a while before our spouse really trusts these efforts. We will be the ones doing the “giving” for a while.

We are born selfish creatures crying out for someone to take care of our needs. The process of growing in this life seems to be learning how to become less selfish, less self-absorbed. On our good days we can do that, by loving, giving and caring for others before thinking of ourselves. But on our bad days, we look at our spouses and others and grumble about the unfairness: “Why is it always ME who has to do the giving? Why doesn’t my spouse have to care about ME first? Am I always the one who has to apologize first? Ask about the other’s day first? When is it MY turn to be taken care of?”

We are called to love in marriage the way we are loved by Jesus –

Shared by Bro. Toti Ayo

without figuring out what we will get out of it. “Love one another as I have loved you.” As I have loved you. In the same way Jesus loves us – without limits. And so we love our spouse who is crabby and barking. Instead of snapping a response we can ask ourselves, “What does my spouse need right now?” It’s not about giving up my dignity or rolling over to a bully. It’s about loving someone who might not be very loveable right now.

We can wallow in our own self-pity and self-absorption, but it is in that moment that we are being called more deeply into Jesus’ love.

We must die to our own needs and our own longing in order to find a new life in Jesus. In a profound way, we are being called to the simplest task: to care about other people before we take care of ourselves.

What kind of people would we be if we got everything we wanted? If we never had to move outside of our own needs and desires? Jesus asks us: What good is it for us to get everything we wanted, if in the process we lose our very selves?

Cherishing Each Other We've stopped snapping back, held our complaints. What if we add a small goal for ourselves every day? What if we added one positive, loving thing each day of Lent? We might hang up his clothes without complaining about it. Put the cap back on her toothpaste – with a smile. Lay out the crossword puzzle with a fresh pencil for him. Have a pot of coffee ready for her in the morning. Do some of the tiny, thoughtful things we might have done years ago, before we slipped out of the habit.

It’s not spending money, it’s a change of attention. Send him an email of gratitude during the day. Tuck a note into her suitcase as she departs on a trip. A call just to say how grateful I am for you in my life.

Each day we ask God for the grace to love as God loves us – without limits.

One final thing is patience. We have to learn to trust that eventually, with our constant loving and God's grace, our spouse will notice the difference. Under the barrage of love, our spouse will begin to soften, bark less, say Thank You more. It takes time to change the patterns and it takes time for our spouse to trust in the changes. It may take months beyond Lent, but if we believe in this, pray about it and trust in God, the changes that happen in our marriages and ourselves can be dramatic.

This isn’t something for women to do for their husbands. Or husbands to do for their wives. It is what each of us as married people are called to do for each other. This is the way of life Jesus calls us to: “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross and follow me.”

Re-focusing our marriage invites us to be more giving, to fight our human nature that has us focused on our own needs. We are asked to stop keeping score with the ones we love and to put their needs ahead of our own. It is then, Jesus promises, that by losing our lives for his sake, we will find real life.

Scenes from the February GMM

A Fil-Am Series Which Aims To Inspire

By Dan E. Nino Hollywood – Three enterprising millennials: two Filipino-Americans and an Indian-American defy some perceived odds and family concerns to eventually pursue their dreams of producing a comedy pilot It’s an uphill climb. But their dauntless efforts will bear fruits someday.

After two years of preparation, writing the script, casting selections, location hunting, filming, and post-production, the troika of Filipino-Americans Sheila Tejada and Jesseal Amelia with Indian-American Tara Mukund, produced “Sequins” a comedy with original musical sequences that was screened at Raleigh Studios, Chaplin Theatre on Melrose Ave., Los Angeles attended by family, friends, cast and production crew.

Produced by Tiny But Mighty Films, the 15-minute pilot was well-received.

The storyline revolved around a young woman who left the comforts of her childhood home in the lovely suburb of Cerritos to an apartment in the “mean” streets of downtown Los Angeles — to begin her life’s journey, what’s in store for her, and to live independently away from her parents. .

The two executive producers: Sheila Tejada as Lucy and Jesseal Amelia as Noreen also appeared in the project. The first few minutes of the movie showed Lucy living in a fantasy world. I likened this first scene to the young Judy Garland inThe Wizard of Oz strolling amid pristine gardens, only to wake up from her fantasy dream to the real world unknown what would await her.

By the way, Sheila Tejada was a former Miss Cerritos, Miss PHILSELA and Miss AMOR of Southern California and graduate of Whitney High School based in the City of Cerritos..She obtained her B.S. degree in Political Science witha double major in Drama. She is the daughter of Danny P. Tejada, current president of Association of Mangatarem Overseas Residents (AMOR) of Southern California. Miss Tejada had the opportunity to ride the Cerritos float in the world-famous Pasadena Rose Parade with the Cerritos Mayor Bruce Barrows and wife in 2008.

As she sauntered to her newly-rented apartment, Lucy encountered a homeless young lad bearing crude poster sign “Former child star but homeless since puberty.”

In another scene, they met an elderly couple who live next door to her.

Unbeknown to her, they are still extremely sexually active and even kinky.Obliviously, she heard some bedroom commotions and mischievously eavesdropped. The man could be heard blurting, “I’m ready.” In the process of consummating their sexual desires, the woman asked her partner to bring lubricant. Mistakenly, he handed her Bengay.

This movie is for matured audience only, I believe. If there’s one scene that might pose concern from the general public, is the love-making scene.

Children and the clergy might find it too explicit for their taste.

Playing with words, “Sequins” can be interpreted with the clothing adornment that’s embedded in a woman’s dress. Second, it could mean that the executive producers who played as opinionated sisters plan to produce a series or sequence of plots as a continuation of their life’s saga.

As printed in the film’s promotional trailer, “Sequins” is a glittery, fun, whimsical web series that chronicles the sometimes humorous, often uncomfortable, and always authentic adventures of Lucy.

Directed by Dale Fabrigar, the series is a romantic comedy with original musical score and sequences. Other notable characters include Mariko Van Kampen, Lucy’s mother,the elderlycouple: Michael Yama as Arthur and Joyce Fidler as Edith and Fil-Am Abe Pagtama as Ronaldo.

As the name of the movie company connotes, Tiny But Mighty Films, this production company aims to inspire audiences to think BIG instead of small.

“Sequins” is currently being submitted into film festivals so the pilot episode is not yet public. In the meanwhile, the public can view the music video that goes along with the comedy pilot on YouTube at https://youtu.be/ zq92T6r8v64. It is also viewable on Funny or Die at http://www.funnyordie.com/ videos/50fc055741/old-people-humping.

GOINGS ON

by Sis. Fely Montecillo It is March! This is a month of exciting events! It is Women’s History Month. On International Women’s Day, March 8, women and our allies will act together for equity, justice and the human rights of women and all gender-oppressed people. This will be done through a one day demonstration of economic solidarity.

So what is a day without a woman like? The goal for this is to highlight the economic power and significance that women have in the US and global economies, while calling attention to the economic injustices women and gender non-conforming people continue to face. Women do play an indispensable role in the daily functions of life in all of society.

Other events during this month are: St. Patrick’s Day, the LA Marathon, Cesar Chavez Day, Ash Wednesday, and the beginning of spring. ***************************** HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR MARCH CELEBRANTS! May you all be blessed with good health and prosperity. Affection and charisma are the qualities often associated with people born in the month of March. They are very compassionate and love to serve others. Honesty and reliability are among the various virtues possessed by individuals born under the zodiac sign Pisces. Pisceans can be romantic, sensitive, emotional, honest and sympathetic. Generally, they are selfless and very generous. ***************************** SIS IRMA ALMAZAN, ACNA President, was happy to inform yours truly that everything is going on smoothly for ACNA’s first quarterly meeting to be held in Chicago from March 31 to April 2. She’s expecting 17 presidents of the different AAs to attend the meeting.

They are the ff.: Betta David (GLA), Shane Mercado (GNY), Pol Alvarez DC), Richie Cautivar (AZ), Peng del Mundo (MWC), Lita Trinidad (SF and SV) and Phililip Aguirre (Representative), Nemie Mosequera (SoBay), Teddy Ramos (LV), Mel Gonzales Jr. (FYI), Norman Fernando (Montreal), Dick Santa Ana (GLAA) and Bro. Peter Angelo (Representative), Rex Obrero (Florida), Arvin Menchaves (CVC), Larry Retanal (Saskatchewan) , Larry Receno (Toronto), Tany Suerte (Houston), and Allan Santos (DFW).

Here’s wishing you all a fruitful meeting Brothers and Sisters! ***************************** SIS OPHEL VITA AMON, BOD Chairman, has informed us that she finds the exchange of ideas and discussions going on during their meetings has become livelier and so oh animated! Now made up of strong willed and idealistic individuals, it is no surprise that a clash of ideas take place. But as Shakespeare said, “All’s well that ends well.”

The entire board has decided that in the next meeting, a final decision regarding voters’ eligibility and erring officers and members will be inked in preparation for presentation to the membership.
