My father passed away in 1988 but he still ap-pears in my dreams from time to time I do miss him and I wish I told him how great he was to me I may be different in many ways yet I respected him and his own unique ways I tried my best so he could be proud of me He was the main reason why I joined the military

Like most young sons I idolized my father He was a good provider and protector He wanted us to have better chances in the future so he did his best to send my sister and me to college He only had 3rd grade education but could read and write in English Thanks to the good American school teachers he told me He was born in 1916 when Philippines was a US territory and grew up with 8 siblings His father was a hard working farmer

My father was only thirteen when he ran away from home He wanted more in life than just another farmer He spent most of his young adult life surviving in streets of vari-ous cities He liked to travel and learn new skills He became a good auto mechanic He was a smooth talker and kept himself up to date on current events and politics by reading He used to drink became a gambler and a womanizer

During one of his travels he met my Mom and not long after they got married World War II broke out They became entrepreneurs and they would travel to the countryside and barter various supplies with livestock He almost drowned once when a storm hit his small boat with a makeshift sail while towing a drum of gasoline from another island

Our factual scenario begins with the story of a tourist who enters the United States as a visitor for pleasure At the port of entry she was only given an authorized stay of three months Upon her entry she wasted no time and started touring the country visiting her friends and relatives She liked the country so much such that she decided not to go back to her home country A few years later she met someone who was 15 years younger than her Despite their age they fell in love with each other and eventually got married Since her spouse was a US citizen he fi led an immigrant petition for her and she concurrently fi led an application for adjustment of status to have her status adjusted to that of a permanent resident In about four months they were inter-viewed by the US Citizenship and Immigration Service During their initial interview the immigration offi cer noticed the age gap between them and suspected that their mar-riage was not a real one The offi cer then referred them to another offi cer who conducted a fraud interview We usually hear a lot of stories as to what happens during a fraud inter-view Some stories give an accurate account of what transpires during fraud interviews but some stories are somewhat exaggerated So what really happens during a fraud interview

When the spouses are referred to a fraud interview they are usually separated from each other The offi cer will lead the other spouse to a separate room while he waits for his turn to be questioned by the of-fi cer The questions propounded are detailed and could be very personal Some offi cers could ask the spouses questions like the circumstances on how they met details of their wedding physical arrangement of their residence their day to day ac-tivities food that they had the night before the interview things they bought as a couple clothes that they

wore the night before the interview and gifts that they give to each other Fraud interviews usually take be-tween two to four hours depending on the interviewing offi cer

It is important to note that the parties must respond as truthfully as they can to the questions asked They should not give answers think-ing that it is the answer the offi cer would like to hear The parties usu-ally get into trouble if they do that as their answers would not match if the other spouse is responding truth-fully to the offi cerrsquos questions The objective of the offi cer in conduct-ing these types of interviews is to ascertain whether or not the spouses have a shared life together Thus the key to passing these types of interviews is just to be honest and truthful about your relationship If the marriage is a bona fi de one then you have nothing to fear should the USCIS conduct a fraud interview in your case

Good News Pilipinas | MANILA 8162011 -- The Philippines took the top spot in the latest quarterly Antal Global Snapshot recruitment survey

The survey which carried out research in 12875 companies in 47 countries reveals that Asia-Pacifi c has overtaken the Americas this quarter taking the lead in the highest level of hiring activity with 64 of businesses in the region currently hiring managerial and professional staff

But it is the hiring boom in the Philip-pines that has pulled Asia-Pacifi c to the top 98 of companies there are currently hiring and this is coupled with one of the lowest fi ring rates worldwide (3)

ldquoThis is due in part to the elections back in May 2010 which has con-sequently boosted confi dence in the economy and in turn hiringrdquo said Tony Goodwin chief executive of Antal International

He added that with a 6 infl ation rate China is no longer the cheapest manufac-turing destination and as a result many companies have turned to the Philippines as one of several cheaper alternatives for low-cost manufacturing

This explosion in hiring looks set to continue into the next quarter with 96 of businesses in the Philippines planning to hire new employees and only 4 look-ing to fi re

Manta mdash an amazing dou-ble-launch coaster and stun-ning marine-life habitat mdash Is

Offi cially Open SAN DIEGO (May 26 2012) --

Manta a new mega-attraction that seamlessly transitions guests from the awe of watching rays in under-water fl ight hellip into the sensation of actually being one is offi cially open at SeaWorld San Diego

Swooping over sea and sky Manta not only inspires riders with an amazing 100000-gallon aquarium but also takes them on an exhilarat-ing ride on a coaster shaped like a giant manta ray with dozens of twists and turns and a thrilling 54-foot drop

ldquoManta delivers exactly what our guests want a fun family coaster complemented by an incredible

hands-on animal experiencerdquo said SeaWorld Park President John Reilly ldquoWe want our guests to feel immersed in the world of rays like they themselves are a giant manta ray twisting soaring and diving through the ocean Then theyrsquoll even get the opportunity to reach in the water and touch and feed real California bat raysrdquo

Manta sits on fi ve acres just north of SeaWorldrsquos Dolphin Point Guests are fi rst introduced to the attraction as 20-car trains zip around a striking 30-foot rock formation bursting with bamboo ferns and a very prominent Manta sign Guests feel as if theyrsquove landed on an exotic Southeast Asian island sprinkled with fl owers and featuring a variety of palm trees Japanese black pines a palm and cycad canyon and a succulent garden Large trees line the perimeter of Manta while small

For those 48 inches and taller the roller coaster at Manta will be the highlight of their experience Known as a linear synchronous motor (LSM) launch coaster Manta features frac12 mile of track with four trains (20 seats each) that take riders around banks and turns and a 54-foot drop where the cars skim a lake (without getting riders wet) The maximum height of the ride is 30 feet but the drop is a total of 54 feet achieved through a 24-foot excava-tion Lasting one minute and 40 seconds Manta features two sepa-rate launches and reaches maximum speed in just two seconds

The fi rst launch takes place in a tunnel with larger-than-life images of rays projected on a 270-degree

enveloping screen This stunning introduction to the world of the rays also visually enhances the physical acceleration as the ride launches down the track This state-of-the-art projection system is the fi rst of its kind in the United States

which also engineered SeaWorld San Diegorsquos popular ride Journey To Atlantis

2nd of a series on Health Care Reform

by Dr Ofelia Dirige

The fi rst article on Health Care Reform or the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was published two weeks ago and it dealt with an overall view of the need for health care reform and provisions of the law that are being implemented right now and will continue till 2014 A more comprehensive view of the ACA will be presented at a symposium on September 7 Friday from 830 AM to 130 PM at the Clarion Hotel sponsored by Kalusugan Commu-nity Services A group of community leaders are currently planning the workshop and if you would like to help see the information below

A webinar was presented by the Asian and Pacifi c Islander Health Forum (APIAHF) last May 10 2012 in Washington DC The title wasrdquo The Health Care Law and You How does the ACA help Asian Americans Native Hawaiians and Pacifi c Island-ersrdquo The facts presented the impact of the ACA on this population and it was an eye-opener for me because it pointed out how unique the needs are and how helpful the law is for APIs I would like to share some of the information with you To access the webinar go to HYPERLINK ldquohttpwwwapiahforgnode899rdquo httpwwwapiahforgnode899

IAPIs has unique health care needs and disproportionately less access to quality appropriate and

affordable health care aAPIrsquos are more likely to be unin-

sured due to low income and poverty and most work with small businesses that cannot afford to pay health insurance for their employees

1 APIrsquos more likely to be uninsured-Overall 47 million Americans are uninsured ie 1 out of 7 Americans and 1 out of 6 APIs Among APIs overall 14 lack health insurance for Koreans Cam-bodians Pakistanis and Bangladeshi greater than 20 and for Chinese 66 API children are uninsured and underinsured at a greater rate ie 8 of Asian Americans (AA) and 11 of APIs AA children have the highest rates of un-insurance

The reasons for the lack of insur-ance are fourfold a) many are self-employed and cannot afford health insurance 15 million of APIs own or work for small businesses b) many struggle with poverty for example 5 of Filipinos are poor 15 of NHPI (Native Hawai-ians) and 25 of Hmongs c) they have barriers to health care such as limited English and diffi culty of communicating For example 1 out of three AAs have limited English and d) they have disproportionately or higher rates of multiple cases of cancer mental health conditions hepatitis B and heart diseases for NH

2) Because of the above cultural and linguistic barriers making them uninsured they a) are more likely to lack a usual source of care and

The Need of Health Care Re-form For Asian Pacifi c Islander

Americans

b) do not use or receive the recom-mended levels of preventive health care counseling or routine treat-ment

Report by the San Diegans for HealthCare Coverage (SDHHC) a coalition for Health

In 2010 nationally 29 million adults (28) under age 65 were underinsured and 81 million (were either underinsured or uninsured) The number of uninsured adults rose by 80 between 2003 to 2010 from 16 million to 29 million

In 2010 San Diego County had a popula-tion of 32 million and 527303 were uninsured The data below shows the rates of uninsured by ethnicity and level of income

30 were HispanicLatino

16 were African Americans

11 were Asian11 were WhiteAlmost one in four

ages 8-64 were uninsured Almost one in fi ve children under

age 19 were uninsured26 earned less than $25000yr26 earned $25000 to $49000yr19 earned $50000 to $74000yr 13 earned $74000 to $99000yr8 earned over $100000yrConsequences of being underin-

sured and uninsuredFewer medical visits due to in-

creasing out-of-pocket costs Delays in careImproper use of medications (cut-

ting pills in half skipping prescribed doses

and not fi lling prescriptions)Outcomes of being uninsured-

Compared with the insured the uninsured are

More likely to suffer extremely poor outcomes including brain dam-age stroke amp death

More likely to be diagnosed at an advanced stage of cancer

Those with congestive heart failure are at a greater risk

Those with diabetes have signifi -cantly worse glycemic control

More likely to die after heart at-tack

Those hospitalized for serious medical conditions are at greater risk of higher mortality in hospital and for at least 2 years after admission

Less likely to be aware of hyper-tension and if hypertensive more likely to have inadequate blood pres-sure control

After an unintentional injury less likely to fully recover and more likely to report subsequent declines in health status Uninsured adults in severe automobile accidents have

substantially higher mortality rates3) Disaggregated data reveal that

ethnic subgroups within the commu-nities are disadvantaged in access to meaningful data

In the past data on APIrsquos are lumped together in one so an aver-age is taken or reported

It then becomes diffi cult to ascer-tain the status of each ethnic group With the ACA there will be im-proved data collection as population surveys will be required to collect and report data on race ethnicity gender primary language and dis-ability status

The Asian Pacifi c Islander Ameri-can Health Forum (APIAHF) This organization infl uences policy mo-bilizes communities and strength-ens programs for APIs To achieve health equity and address health disparities policy work focuses on expanding access to health care improving quality of health care through cultural competency and language access increased research and improving data collection reporting and analysis of data about APIs

It partners with community-based organizations community leaders health care providers and immigrant health advocates The ACA will reduce the number of uninsured Americans and provide better cover-age options to those who need it It improves the quality of care to mar-ginalized communities and promotes fairness respect equity and health justice APIAHF have two offi ces

IMMIGRATION 911 by Atty Susan V Perez

Only a US citizen who is 21 years of age or older may file a petition for a parent In order for the beneficiary to be considered the parent of the petitioner the petitioner must have once qualified as the child of the beneficiary and the relationship must continue to exist even though the petitioner is over 21 and therefore no longer a child If the relationship has been terminated the beneficiary would no longer be eligible for clas-sification as a parent even though the petitioner had once been con-sidered to be the beneficiaryrsquos child Termination of relationship would happen in the case of a stepparent-stepchild relationship if marriage between the stepparent and natural parent were to be terminated by divorce or annulment or would hap-pen in the case of any parent-child relationship if the child were up for adoption For example Teresa entered the United States on an H-1b visa At the time she was pregnant Five months later she gave birth to Carla A few years later Teresa married Rey who is in the United States illegally When Carla reaches the age of 21 she can petition for Teresa and Rey However if Rey had divorced Teresa Carla can no longer petition for Rey because the relationship between Carla and Rey was terminated by divorce

There is no limitation on the number of parents for whom a single petitioner may file visa petitions The fact that a petitioner has already successfully petitioned for a natural parent does not preclude approval of a visa petition on behalf of a step-parent For example Marilou was born in the US to Edgar and Teresa while they were in the US on a tourist visa Edgar and Teresa are married Ten years later Edgar and Teresa got divorced They both re-married two years after the divorce When Marilou reaches the age of 21 she can petition for her natural parents Edgar and Teresa and for her stepparents

An adopted child may not confer immigration benefits upon a natural parent without regard to whether the adopted child has been accorded or could be accorded immigra-tion benefits by virtue of his or her adopted status An adopted child may not confer immigration benefits upon his or her natural sibling because their common natural parent

no longer has the status of parent of the adopted child for immigration purposes For example Milagros has two children Tarra and Barra who were born out of wedlock Milagros married a US citizen and immigrated to the US with Tarra Barra was left with her father in the Philippines Milagros USC husband adopted Tarra Tarra could not peti-tion for her sister and natural father because Tarra has been adopted by Milagrosrsquo USC husband

The primary evidence to establish the claimed parent-child relationship would depend on whether the child is legitimate legitimated illegiti-mate and adopted In the case of a legitimate son or daughter if a petition is submitted on behalf of the mother the birth certificate of the petitioner showing the motherrsquos name must accompany the petition If a petition is submitted on behalf of the father the birth certificate of the petitioner a marriage certificate of the parents and proof of legal termination of the parentsrsquo prior marriage if any issued by the civil authorities must accompany the petition In the case of an illegiti-mate son or daughter if a petition is submitted on behalf of the mother the birth certificate of the petitioner showing the motherrsquos name should accompany the petition If the peti-tion is submitted on behalf of the father of the petitioner the petitioner must show that the beneficiary is his or her natural father and that a bona fide parent-child relationship was established when the petitioner was unmarried and under twenty-one years of age There should be evidence that the father and child actually lived together or that the father held the child out as being his own that he provided for some or all of the childrsquos needs or that in gen-eral the fatherrsquos behavior evidenced a genuine concern for the child The evidence may include money order receipts or canceled checks showing the fatherrsquos financial support if the beneficiary school records corre-spondence between the parent and child notarized affidavits of friends and neighbors and pictures

June 10 2012 Dear Manny

Last night with friends I saw by pay-per-view your fi ght with Bradley The punch statistics defi nitely confi rm the preponderant view of boxing afi -cionados that the judges robbed you

But you won a much greater vic-tory Manny You showed the world how it is to be a Christian and how to give glory to God

First media doubted your fi ght-ing spirit in interviews focusing on whether your being now an ldquoimbiber of the Holy Spiritrdquo through the Word of God would diminish your ldquokiller instinctrdquo Then the fl awed judgment came It is as if you were persecuted in the oblique way of innuendoes and in the obnoxious manner of behind the scenes machinations

Donrsquot let that trouble your champion heart my brother

The Lord Jesus has said ldquoIn the world you will have trouble but take courage I have conquered the worldrdquo (John 1633) He also said ldquohellip If they persecuted me they will also persecute you hellipAnd they will do all these things to you on account of my name because they do not know the one who sent merdquo (John 1520-21 NABRE)

It can be said that all human activity including the art and science of boxing can point to the Lord since the Lord is present in all human ac-tivity (cf httpcatholicun-dergroundcommission) It has also been said that as followers of Jesus our goal (is) to present Yrsquoshua to the world through our lives attitudes and actions Our common goal (is) to lift up Yrsquoshua that He would draw all men unto Himself (The Open Bible Daniel Rendelman)

And through all the global media coverage you generated in the run up to and during last nightrsquos bout your faith in Jesus almost became center stage As such instrumentality by just being your faithful self and without telling anyone what to do you have realized in a very short period what so

many Christian churches missionar-ies ministers and evangelists spend lifetimes to try to achieve and that is preaching the gospel throughout the world

Jesus said ldquoAnd this gospel of the

kingdom will be preached throughout the world as a witness to all nationsrdquo (Matthew 2414) when He explained to His disciples the many signs of His coming again then fi nished His sentence with the following words ldquoand then the end will comerdquo

Your simple reiteration of ldquojust obeying God and His command-mentsrdquo in your many interviews was in effect another way of sharing that part of the Lordrsquos commission which says ldquoGo therefore xxxxx hellip teach-ing them to observe all that I have commanded you And behold I am

with you always until the end of the agerdquo (Matthew 28 19-20 NABRE underlining supplied)

Through this bout with Bradley and its attendant global publicity you helped fulfi ll that word of the Lord and you helped lift and present Him to the world which acts continue to be accomplished in many other ways through so many other instrumentali-ties

You are a very special man Manny Your accomplishments in the ring

A Letter to Manny Pacquiaoby Consul Emeritus Edwin Bael Scottsdale AZ

and in your life of overcoming the clutches of the dark side are wonder-ful encouragements to our fellow Filipinos and fellow Christians the world over to hold in their minds the idea that ldquoif Manny can have a godly champion heart I can have it too in confronting my own challenges in liferdquo

You are a chosen one The Lord after all said ldquoIt was not you who chose me but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain so that whatever you ask the Father in my name He may give yourdquo (John 1516 NABRE)

To bear lsquofruit that remainsrsquo He ad-vises us to Love ldquoBut I say unto you Love your enemies bless them that curse you do good to them that hate you and pray for them which despite-fully use you and persecute yourdquo

(Matthew 544 NABRE underlining supplied)

In the end what really matters is our confi dence in God in our heart of hearts ldquoBeloved if [our] hearts do not condemn us we have confi dence in God and receive from him whatever we ask because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him And his commandment is this we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another just as he commanded us

Those who keep his commandments remain in him and he in them and the way we know that he remains in us is from the Spirit that he gave us (1 John 321-24 NABRE)

Thank you Manny for showing us an example of having confi dence in the Lord in our own hearts

All the very best to you Sincerely yours Edwin D BaelNote We invite you to joinfollowcom-

ment on ldquoA Christianrsquos Journeyrdquo blog at httpambachristblogspotcomThank you for your timeGod

bless you always

Fil-Ams Rally for Pinoy

ABS CBN News | WASHINGTON DC 682012 - Filipino-Americans rallied in front of the White House on Friday (Saturday in Manila) to show support for Philippine President Benigno Aquino

The White House rally was organized by US Pinoys for Good Governance the group also behind anti-China protests across America

They bristle at critics of President Aquino but deny theyre Malacantildeangrsquos proxy in America

THERErsquoS THE RUB by Conrado de Quiros Philippine Daily Inquirer

(This is the conclusion of my sec-ond talk before Gawad Kalinga this time in Toronto)

Itrsquos a far cry from the days when each time you left the country you were tempted to identify yourself as Thai or Vietnamese or Malaysian out of shame to be Filipino Which not a few overseas Filipino workers and foreign-bound Filipinos actually did in Gloria Macapagal-Arroyorsquos time

What Gawad Kalinga in effect has done and continues to do is not just to give the roofl ess a roof over his head it is to give the country-less a country to live in It is not just to give the wretched of the earth a crack at a new life it is to give the root-less of this earth an old and vaguely remembered haven to go back to It is not just to fi nally give a home to the homeless it is to make of the country in every possible sense home to Filipinos

But GK shares the spirit of ldquokariton classroomrdquo in still other deeper ways

It shares fi rst off its spirit of simplicity Kariton classroom lugs education around in a kariton GK lugs hope around in well a traveling circus Irsquove always known that phi-lanthropy is big business but I never knew exactly how big until Tony Meloto gave me to glimpse it In 1988 a US child-sponsorship charity practiced this For every $26 that they got they spent $6 for their target benefi ciaries and $20 for them Laws have gotten stricter since then but the upkeep of the philanthropic organiza-tion still accounts for a great deal of the money That is philanthropy of a sort that gives whole new mean-ings to the saying ldquoCharity begins at homerdquo

I donrsquot know what the exact ratio is for GK but I do know it practices lean-and-mean to lengths that would qualify it to extreme sports I know it fi rsthand because we just spent more than 30 hours fl ying to New York last week We took a cheap fl ight that had several stops one of which got us epically delayed That is how scru-pulously GK tends to its fi nances Its staff makes up for high-mindedness what they lack in high fi nance

Its staff makes up for personal com-mitment what they lack in fi nancial emolument The Oquintildeena brothers in particular have gotten positively psychic from getting a lot of psychic income in lieu of a physic one

The money instead goes to the communities which remains paltry in the face of the enormous need and demand for more GK villages

And in the face of ever increasing tasks that go with an ever expanding dream

GK shares second off a kariton classroomrsquos spirit of empathy with its benefi ciaries GK does not hire an army of foot soldiers to deal with the masa or poorest of the poor or the bereft of the bereft its offi cers do it themselves It reminds me of the activism of my time when we went to places God and government forgot to immerse ourselves in the lives of the deathly desperate An awesome word ldquoimmerserdquo and an almost liter-ally apt one You get to realize what you mean when you say ldquoServe the peoplerdquo You get to be one with those you propose to serve

GK has spawned a new activism one driven by the same history-making force of idealism commit-ment and self-sacrifi ce Tony himself lives it He now spends most of his time in the Enchanted Farm a laboratory for social entrepreneurship that he recently launched in a hilly part of Bulacan Though I myself cannot imagine how anyone can be excessively deprived to be fl ung in a far-fl ung place in the company of vibrant dedicated and completely charming volunteers But thatrsquos another story

Finally GK shares a kariton class-roomrsquos spirit of humility The best teachers are the best learners the best preachers are the best listeners the best transformers are those most will-ing to be transformed

The Philippines being a country where a culture of patronage runs riot organizations that try to do something for the poor or profess to are always in danger in falling into the trap of thinking or baldly posturing that they are a source of benefi cence before whom the recipi-ent ought to show eternal gratitude You see that in TV shows that shower audiences with gifts or in programs that give relief goods to the victims of storms and fl oods The recipient is reduced to a spectacle of prostrate and sniveling thankfulness

There is none of that in GK There is instead an attitude of respect a willingness to listen an eagerness to learn from those it is trying to help I remember in this respect a movie I saw recently called ldquoThe Blind Siderdquo For those who have not seen it it tells the story of a white woman who takes pity on a homeless black kid and gives him shelter Eventually she begins to treat him like a son along with her own biological son and daughter The black kid goes on to excel in football in his school and to get a lot of attention from talent scouts

At one point during a tecircte-agrave-tecircte with friends she gets asked a lot of questions by her friends about how her own kids feel about having a black member of the family Of-fended she tells them that she never thought theyrsquod ask a question like that it reeks of narrow-mindedness They are apologetic but continue to take a patronizing tone The things yoursquove done for that kid they say thatrsquos pretty heroic thatrsquos pretty self-sacrifi cing Surely they say yoursquove had a huge impact on him surely yoursquove changed his life The woman suddenly realizing how the kid had shown her the power of caring the beauty of love the infi nite mystery of life retorts ldquoNo he has had a huge impact on me He has changed my liferdquo

Givers like Gawad Kalinga have been known to be blind-sided by the receiver

That is the miracle of changing things

Joke of the week It seems a farm boy accidentally overturned his wagon load of corn The farmer who lived nearby heard the noise ldquoHey Willisrdquo the farmer yelled ldquoForget your troubles Come in with us Then Irsquoll help you get the wagon uprdquo ldquoThatrsquos mighty nice of yourdquo Willis answered ldquobut I donrsquot think Pa would like me tordquo ldquoAwe come onrdquo the farmer insisted ldquoWell okayrdquo the boy fi nally agreed and added ldquoBut Pa wonrsquot like itrdquo After a hearty dinner Willis thanked his host ldquoI feel a lot better now but I know Pa is going to be real upsetrdquo ldquoDonrsquot be foolishrdquo the neighbor said with a smile ldquoBy the way where is herdquo ldquoUnder the wagonrdquo

Scriptures First Reading Ezekiel 17 22-24 Ezekiel was a man of God who lived at the begin-ning and during the exile of Israel to Babylon in the early decades of the sixth century BCE Questions about his residency in Israel had been resolved According to one of his prophetic visions he made a journey to Babylon Other prophe-cies included the end of Israel its uncertain future and its leaders going eastward in exile toward the worldrsquos greatest city the mighty Babylon Second Reading 2 Cor 5 6-10 The key to understanding these chapters of 2 Corinthians is to recognize that Paul faces criticism because of his ministry His detractors managed to concoct lies about his personal-ity and his particular theology His opponents who have infi ltrated Corinth sought to undermine him at a number of points They apparently were successful They tried to show that they live ldquovictorious Christian livesrdquo whereas Paul shows weak-ness and vulnerability Paul doesnrsquot

lose confi dence and keeps believing in the future reward that waits after this trying life

Gospel Mk 426-34 Mark 4 contains images of the fi eld sowing seeds and harvest that are character-istic of Jewish apocalyptic wisdom and prophetic literatures These images however are situated within a literary context that uses a Greco-Roman mode of rhetorical elabora-tion to unfold the mysterious nature of the kingdom of God Farm-ers spare no effort to prepare the ground for the sowing but once the grain is sown there is nothing more they can do un-til the harvest the grain grows Our Lord uses this comparison to describe the inner strength that comes from God and helps the Kingdom of God on earth to grow up to the day of harvest (cf Joel 313 and Revelation 1415) that is the day of the Last Judgment

Refl ection Jesus is telling His disciples about the Church that the preaching of the Gospel the seed sown on the ground will unfailingly yield its fruit independently of who sows it for it is God who makes it successful

The Kingdom of God refers also to the action of grace in each soul whether we are aware of it or not God silently transforms us

Even though it is necessary for man to rely also in his power but at the end of the day the real and fi nal ini-tiative lies with God it is the Holy Spirit who inspires manrsquos thoughts desires and actions It is he who leads us to receive Christrsquos teachings and to assimilate them in a profound way It is he who gives us the light by which we perceive our personal calling and the strength to carry out all that God expects of us If we are docile to the Holy Spirit the image of Christ will be found more and more fully in us and we will be brought closer every day to God the Father through his Son

This parable has something to do also with the contrast between great and small The seed of the Kingdom of God on earth is some-thing very tiny to begin with but it will grow to be a big tree Charles H Spurgeon said ldquoWe need never quarrel with God because we cannot do everything if he only permits us to do this one thing for sowing the good seed is a work which will need

all our wit our strength our love our carerdquo Godrsquos grace is unrecog-nizable and so ldquotinyrdquo but when fully received it bears abun-dant fruits such as peace unity and love The parable pricks our conscience to see the possibilities and incon-

gruities that distinguish between a world where everything is planned linear and logical and a divine realm that is fi lled with mysteries and surprises into which a sovereign God invites us Devoid of worldly cares but trusting completely in God who makes the sun shine on the good and the bad we mature as Christians

The Bible is full of verses about the serious obligation of fathers to their children especially with regard to instructing them in the Lordrsquos ways ldquoThese commandments that I

Like Father Like Son

give you today are to be upon your hearts Impress them on your chil-dren Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road when you lie down and when you get uprdquo (Deuteronomy 66-7) There is in the Decalogue a commandment about respect that children must render to their parents but nothing about parentsrsquo obligation vis-agrave-vis children The only plau-sible reason is that itrsquos the parentsrsquo responsibility through examples to form and transform their children into Godrsquos image In our days and age when there is so much problem with regard to parentsrsquo absenteeism especially of fathers there is a need to examine onersquos responsibility not only in begetting children but more so with rearing them

Love of God the basis for lov-ing children doesnrsquot occur in a vacuum Charity begins with self ldquoGratia supponit naturamrdquo (Grace presupposes nature) Human love is the foundation on which Godrsquos love and grace thrive Rob Eager said ldquoBefore you can truly love another person however you must fi rst understand how much you are already lovedrdquo To realize that you are lovable makes it possible to love oneself and others When children realize that they have loving parents and home they share that love with others ldquoNemo dat quod non habetrdquo (You cannot give what you donrsquot have) The opposite is true The person who hates people and fi nds it diffi cult to love is one who either has been deprived or deceived of true love True love must be experi-enced as a child grows up Crowded prisons with teenagers unwed moth-ers and substance addicts are the unfortunate results of people who have not experienced the love of parent(s) Itrsquos impossible for parents to inculcate the love of God and oth-ers if there is emptiness in their life with respect to human love A loving father begets a loving child Like father like son

A good father is like a good farmer He loves his work ndash farming He sows waters and fertilizes the seed He uproots the weeds to keep the good plants healthy After he is done with what is expected of him he leaves all in Godrsquos hands In the end he reaps a good harvest ldquoChil-drenrsquos children are the crown of old men and the glory of children are their fathersrdquo (Proverbs 176)

Quotation of the week ldquoThe Fa-ther uttered one Word that Word is His Son and He utters Him forever in everlasting silence and in silence the soul has to hear itrdquo St John of the Cross

Naggagalaiti sa galit si Mommy Dionisia matapos mahimasmasan ito sa pagkahimatay dahil sa nalaman niyang natalo si Manny Pacquiao kay Timothy Bradley

Dinaya raw ang kanyang anakimposible ang naging disisyon ng mga judges kitang-kita raw ng buong mundo kung paano binugbog ng anak niya si Bradley pagkatapos raw yun ang mananalo

ldquoNakakatawa sila may winner bang nasa wheelchair at hindi makalakadDinaya talaga ang anak ko

ldquoAng anak ko walang kagalosgalos sa mukha walang tama pagkatapos talo imposible

ldquoYung referee pa nga sinusuntok na

ang anak ko habang hinawakan ang leeg nito ni Bradley pinababayaan lang ng referee Kung nandun ako tiyak aakyat ako roon para pagalitan ang refereerdquo bulaslas ni Mommy Dionisia

Kung dati ayaw na ni Mommy Dionisia na mag-boxing pa si Pacman this time raw iba na ang mood niyaAng gusto ngayon ni Mommy D rematch ng laban nina Pacquiao at

Bradley para malaman kung sino ang nanalo

ldquoRematch ang gusto ko at sasama ako sa Las Vegas para manoodLive akong manonood ldquo sumpa ni Mommy DAng tanong hindi kaya himatayin siya roon habang nanonoodAlam nyo naman si Mommy Dagaw eksena

OPEN LETTER TO THE NEVADA STATE ATHLETIC COMMISSIONNarito ang isang open letter na galing sa Migrant Heritage Commission na nakabase sa Washington DC sa pangunguna ni Atty Arnedo Valera tungkol ito sa hindi mapaliwanag kung paano natalo ang pambansang kamao kay Timothy Bradley

Commission to conduct an investiga-tion into the recent boxing bout of Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Brad-ley In the spirit of public accountabil-ity and decency and public trust we view it is but fair and just to conduct an immediate probe as to why the scorecards of the judges Cynthia JRoss and Duane Ford did not jive with the statistics of the computer-analyzedCompubox

The world thought there wassome-thing bizarre in the judging that night

All throughout the game Pac-quiao had been mostly in control Ringside punching statistics showed Pacquiaolanding 253 punches to 159 for Bradley The Compubox statis-tics showed Pacquiao landing more punches in 10 of the 12 rounds

Major networks CNN HBO BBC andUSA Today had been analyzing the game with Pacquiao as the winner

The Migrant Heritage Commis-sion is a not-for-profit organiza-tion based in Washington DC and provides legal services and cultural development programs to immigrants all over the US MHCbelieves that the NSAC owes the public their right to transparency andaccountability in this billion dollar worth of sports that they strongly andpassionately sup-port

TECH IT FROM MY BARBER by Ben Manigo

Education is the best antidote to poverty which poisons anybodyrsquos battle for life liberty and the pursuit of hap-piness As Philippine Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima said ldquoEducation is the great equalizer for the poorrdquo

Making education more accessible to the poor therefore must be a priority for those warriors in the battle against poverty

Learning the fundamentals such as reading writing and arithmetic is a good foundation to access more infor-mation and knowledge

Knowledge is wealth Possessing a load of knowledge means adding more to your wealth So any tool or technol-ogy that makes information knowledge and education accessible available and

affordable to the poor should eventually lead to reduction if not eradication of poverty

Information and Communications Technology is known to reduce poverty by improving poor peoplersquos access to education health government and fi nancial services

For the technologies to be effectively used there should be an infrastructure built precisely for the purpose It is called information superhighway The private sector which are usually the telecom companies are preferred to build it but for economic and commer-cial reasons there is really no incentive to have it in low income communities

So the government may have to get involved Like the regular superhigh-ways or railways the government may have to build the information infra-structure either solely or in partnership with the private sector and make it more accessible available and affordable

At the end of the last century when we were involved in Y2K projects

we proposed what we called PRIDE (Philippine Rural Interconnection Development Enterprise) which would have built that kind of information infra-structure To go with it I also proposed what I named as Rural Electronifi cation Program

This would have guaranteed Internet access up to the remotest areas and built E-Centers in every barangay or mobile computer labs going to all the schools and barangays for computer and internet access

Internet access means access to knowledge and education worldwide

The proposed National Broadband Network (NBN) that would have imple-mented the concept that we proposed at the turn of the century did not continue because of revelations of corruption involving Philippine Government of-fi cials

It should not stop the Philippine

government from doing it in partnership with the private sector however

Despite a more limited infrastructure the Philippines still managed to be the Facebook capital Text capital Twitter capital and even the Call Center capital of the world

I am proud to have introduced the e-Book technology to the Philippines more than ten years ago My company had the license to manufacture and exclusively distribute the eBookMan which is the predecessor of the Amazon Kindle

In this age of open education and open access we are now aggressively pursu-ing online education

E-Centers Mobile Computer Labs eBooks eLibraries and E-Learning (Online Education) and hundreds of thousands of mobile and computer applications are indeed helpful as tech tools for poverty reduction

Who knows we might also end up be-ing the capital of the Planet of the Apps

Using Old TV Parts and Sun

to Clean WaterEngineering students win two design competitions

for their idea to treat water using a Fresnel lens and

sunlight

by Sean Nealon UCR Today | RIVERSIDE Calif (wwwucredu) 6112012 mdash A team of students from the University of California Riversidersquos Bourns College of Engi-neering have won two recent design competitions for a method they de-veloped that uses the sun and a lens commonly found in old projection big screen televisions to make water safe to drink

The students received a $10000 grant from the Southern California World Water Forum (WWF) which is sponsored by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern Califor-nia the US Bureau of Reclamation Sanitation Districts of Los Ange-les County Water for People and Friends of the United Nations The team also was awarded a $15000 grant from the Environmental Pro-tection Agency- People Prosperity and the Planet (EPA ndash P3) Student Design Competition for Sustain-ability

ldquoWe are ecstaticrdquo said Christopher Quach one of the students on the team ldquoThere were high fi ves all around when we got the newsrdquo

During the next year the students will use the funding to refi ne the design of their system so that it is compact lightweight and low cost and treats two liters of water in an hour That would make their system more effi cient than other low-cost water treatment methods used in third-world countries which take two to six hours to treat two liters of water

The students ndash Quach Jason Farag David Ye He Estevan ldquoStevenrdquo Ochoa and Jung ldquoJJrdquo Park ndash are all environmental engineering majors All except Farag are gradu-ating this month Despite graduating the four and Farag plan to continue working on the project while also re-cruiting their fellow junior environ-mental engineering students to help

In April 2013 they will present their design at the National Sustain-able Design Expo in Washington DC for a chance to receive $90000 in phase two funding from the EPArsquos P3 competition That money would go toward commercializing the technology In April another team of engineering students won the phase two grant for a project to develop a solar-power clothes dryer

The students working on the water cleansing system are advised by Kawai Tam a lecturer at the Bourns College of Engineering and Mark Matsumoto associate dean of research and graduate education and professor in the department of chemical and environmental engi-neering Christina Awad a graduate student in Matsumotorsquos lab is also advising the team

The studentsrsquo work addresses a major worldwide problem the lack of access to safe and sanitary drinking water UNICEF reports that more than 780 million people lack access to safe water sources

The studentsrsquo PULSE (Pasteuriza-tion Using a Lens and Solar Energy) method uses a Fresnel lens ndash which is essentially a large magnifying

glass but thinner and lighter in weight and made of acrylic ndash and sunlight to pasteurize water

Pasteurization eliminates patho-gens in water that cause disease and infection Diarrhea is the most common complication of these pathogens There are nearly 4 billion cases of diarrhea in the world each year They result in nearly 18 mil-lion deaths of which 90 percent are children under the age of fi ve

The students started work on the project in the summer of 2011 At the time Ochoa and Quach were working in Matsumotorsquos lab Ochoa and Quach decided to pursue the idea for the World Water Forum competition They recruited the rest of the team did some preliminary research and submitted their applica-tions for the two competitions in December

During the preliminary research using salvaged supplies they spiked

a frac12-liter bottle of water with EColi and demonstrated their method pasteurized the water in 15 minutes They now plan to experiment with different sizes and types of Fresnel lenses to optimize the design

The team is the second from the Bourns College of Engineering to receive funding from both competi-tions A team in 2005 won both for a project that focused on harvesting rainwater

Refreshing News | 6102012 -- Tomatoes The most recent con-

verts are hailing a new technique developed by researchers to extend the shelf life of tomatoes and other crops from the traditional 15 days or so to a full month This is accom-plished by suppressing two enzymes (A-Man B-hex) which accumulate during the ripening process

Backers say this modifi cation can decrease waste and increase effi cien-cy and itrsquos a process that genetically alters the product and there have been reports that some animals have died shortly after consuming GMO tomatoes

Cotton Considered a food item because its oil can be consumed Ac-cording to recent Chinese research Bt cotton is capable of killing boll-worms without the use of insecti-cides its decreased use has increased the presence of other crop-harming pests Also the production has been linked to drastic depletion of soil nutrients and lower crop yields

Canola Canola oil and others must be chemically removed from the seeds then deodorized and al-tered in order to be utilized in foods They are among the most chemically altered foods in our diets

Aspartame Its an artifi cial sweet-ener found in a number of products aspartame accounts for as many as 75 of adverse reactions to food additives reported to the FDA (This is not a GMO)

Dairy 15 of dairy cows in the US today are given growth hormones to increase milk produc-tion Scientists have concern that the increased levels of IGF-1 (insulin growth factors-1) from hormone-treated cows may boost the risks of colon and breast cancer In 2008 Hiland Dairy stopped using milk from dairy farmers who injected their cows with growth hormone

Corn As many as half of US farms growing corn for Monsanto are using genetically modifi ed corn with tons of it now being introduced for human consumption according to the FDA Doctors at Sherbrooke University Hospital in Quebec re-cently found Bt toxin from modifi ed corn in the blood of pregnant women and their babies as well as in non-pregnant women

Papayas Genetically modifi ed papayas have been grown in Hawaii commercially since 1999 designed to combat the Papaya Ringspot Vi-rus Approved for sale and consump-tion in the US and Canada GM papayas cannot be imported or sold in the European Union

Potatoes They have been geneti-cally modifi ed with Bacillus thur-

Top 10 Genetically Modifi ed Organism (GMO) foods to avoid

ingiensis var Kurstaki Cry 1 have been fed to mice and those mice have been found to have toxins in their systems Also according to Dr Nina V Fedoroff Willaman Profes-sor of Life Sciences and Evan Pugh Professor at Pennsylvania State University saiid ldquoRats were fed the transgenic potatoes had signifi cantly lower organ weightsrdquo

Soy Soy includes soy fl our tofu soy beverages soybean oil and scores of other products especially baked goods and pastries Accord-ing to one report ldquoAfter feeding hamsters for two years over three generations those on the GM diet and especially the group on the maximum GM soy diet showed devastating results By the third gen-eration most GM soy-fed hamsters lost the ability to have babies They also suffered slower growth and a high mortality rate among the pupsrdquo

Rice Its been modifi ed to contain a high amount of vitamin A (China suspended distribution of genetically modifi ed rice within its commercial food supplies over growing concern about its safety)

Destroy GMO-taint-ed papaya crops researcher says

By Pongphon Sarnsamak The Na-tion BANKOK May 18 2012 --

Academics yesterday called on the Agriculture Department to destroy farms growing Hawaiian papaya in Kanchanaburi province after a recent study found that these crops might be contaminated with genetically modifi ed organisms (GMO)

The move came after a study conducted by Piyasak Chaumpluk from Chulalongkorn Universityrsquos Department of Botany revealed on Wednesday that 29 samples of Ha-waiian papaya tested in Kanchanab-uri province were tainted

rdquoTests show that papaya grown in 50-rai in Kanchanaburi province have GMOrdquo Piyasak said rdquoThe de-partment should destroy these farms in order to prevent the contamination from spreadingrdquo

Piyasak said he had all the infor-mation ready but did not want to make any of it public as it would

Regionrsquos Pertussis Cases Increase to 47

Two students at a local elementary

school were diagnosed with whoop-ing cough potentially exposing others to the contagious respiratory infection County Health and Human Services Agency offi cials reported today

The new cases bring the regionrsquos total of pertussis also known as whooping cough to 47 for the year so far Pertussis was diagnosed in a 6-year-old and a 7-year-old who both attend Murdock Elementary School in the La Mesa - Spring Val-ley School District The 7-year-old was up-to-date on immunizations and the 6-year-old was due for a booster shot health offi cials said

ldquoWhooping cough is a very serious disease that is often spread to infants by other children or adults who do not even realize they have itrdquo said Wilma Wooten MD MPH County Public Health Offi cer ldquoPer-tussis vaccinations protect everyone but the effectiveness wanes over time which is why health offi cials now recommend that preteens and adults get a boosterrdquo

The CDC also recommends that children get one dose of DTaP vaccine at the following ages 2 months 4 months 6 months 15 to 18 months and 4 to 6 years The ultimate goal is to prevent deaths which can result as a complication of pertussis Infants under one year old are especially vulnerable

The state of Washington is cur-rently in the middle of a pertussis epidemic similar to the one in Cali-fornia during 2010 and 2011

Parents can obtain the vaccine series and the Tdap booster shot for themselves and their children through their primary care physi-cians Local retail pharmacies offer

Whooping Cough Vaccines Offer Best Protection


Therersquos been a lot of buzz about beets lately Apparently they can lower blood pressure and improve athletic performance Sounds like a lot to ask of a vegetable so I had to check it out Plus Irsquove got beets growing in my garden although theyrsquore golden beets which may not work the same as the purple ones

The secret to the unique health benefi ts of beets is attributed to the high nitrate content We metabolize food nitrates to nitric oxide which wears many metabolic hats so to speak from blood pressure regula-tion to muscle contraction and glu-cose modula-tion Studies have linked beet juice to lowered blood pressure and in one study the effect was immediate and impres-sive when subjects consumed a hefty dose of beet juice at one sitting roughly 2 cups (about 16 oz) Could you do that everyday to control blood pres-sure

One of the more interesting poten-tial benefi ts of nitrates is improve-ment of athletic performance Imag-ine a perfectly legal way to enhance performance without drugs ndash eat a lot of beets or drink beet juice Studies look at speed oxygen consumption and muscle effi ciency in small groups of highly trained athletes In one such study bicy-clists who drank 500 ml (roughly 2 cups) of beetroot juice before a time trial ride had higher power output and went faster compared to drink-ing a non-nitrate-containing juice

So Beet-orade anyone Donrsquot laugh Supplements Again donrsquot laugh Companies are already trying to take advantage of this particu-larly for the athletic performance

body building customer Keep this in mind the nitrates found in food must be metabolized to the biologi-cally benefi cial nitric acid and the process starts in your mouth Ap-parently the bacteria normally found in saliva play a critical role in the process that metabolizes nitrates So swallowing pills of nitrates will by-pass that step Another important consideration excess nitrates can be toxic This makes it all the more important to rely on food sources

Some of the supplements that claim to promote nitric oxide for-mation use a completely different

pathway to nitric oxide production metabo-lism of the amino acid argin-ine You get arginine from protein foods so you likely consume it on a daily basis from food

anyway The value of taking extra arginine in pills is unclear And the results of studies using beet juice donrsquot say anything about arginine metabolism

So if you want to take advantage of the beet juice concept you could buy beet juice or make your own if you have a juicer The trouble is yoursquod need to drink some daily to maintain the benefi ts Other foods are high in nitrates notably root vegetables like carrots turnips and even radishes Dark green leafy vegetables like spinach can also be high in nitrates Content of nitrates will vary from one beet to another depending on soil conditions water growing conditions and type of beet

You arent limited to drinking beet

affect the farmers He also called on the department to compensate farm-ers whose farms would be destroyed adding the authorities should not blame the farmers for this

rdquoI donrsquot think they knew that the papaya seeds were tainted with GMOrdquo he said

He is also calling on the depart-ment to study the route of GMO-tainted products from farms to fresh markets or supermarkets

rdquoWe found that pollen from GMO-tainted papaya plants could have contaminated other papaya treesrdquo he said

Meanwhile Greenpeace campaign coordinator for Southeast Asia Nattawika Ewsakul said so far the government had failed to control GMO contamination

To date the Agriculture and Cooperatives Ministry has used the 1964 Plant Quarantine Act to control GMO contamination in papaya corn and yellow-bean farms

rdquoBut the question is why does the contamination still existrdquo she asked rdquoIt is because the governmentrsquos mea-sures have not been good enoughrdquo

Nattawika added that the govern-ment should pass the bio-safety bill the draft for which has been lan-guishing for the past two years

rdquoIf government does nothing to control GMO contamination then farmers will end up having to shoul-der added costs of testing their crops for GMOrdquo she said

A typical case of pertussis starts with a cough and runny nose for one to two weeks followed by weeks to months of rapid coughing fi ts that sometimes end with a whooping sound Fever if present is usually mild The disease is treatable with antibiotics

For more information about whooping cough and ongoing vaccination clinics call the HHSA Immunization Branch at (866) 358-2966 or visit wwwsdizorg

juice to get these benefi ts If you want to add beets to your meals but donrsquot particularly like boring boiled beets try making a salad with fresh cooked beets chunks of feta or goat cheese a splash of olive oil a splash of wine or balsamic vinegar to taste salt and pepper This works well with both purple and golden beets Another option pureed beet soup sometimes referred to as borscht You can eat it hot in winter or cold in summer with a dollop of Greek style yoghurt Profes-sional athletes arenrsquot likely to take a borscht break in the middle of a bike race so if the benefi cial effects of beet juice are the real deal expect to see Beet-orade in your grocery store in the near future

Ikaw Pa Rin Lagi kitang iniisip lagi kitang ala-ala

Nadarama ko pang lahat ang init kung kayakap ka

Bawat oras at sandali kahit saan mapapunta

Larawan morsquoy buong-buo kahit kapiling mo ay iba

Dumarating din ang araw na lsquodi kita iniisip

At patuloy sa akalang ang nagdaarsquoy lsquodi babalik

Sa masayang araw na lsquoyon bigla itong gumuguhit

lsquoDi ko pansing larawan mo ay yakap ko ng kay higpit

Bakit kaya laging ganyan itong buhay sa lsquokin ngayon

Ayaw na ayaw na tantanan kasaysayan ng kahapon

Bawat isang kasintahang nagtiwala sakin nuon

Tanging ikaw ang nagdaang lsquodi niluma ng panahon

Ngunit bakit bakit nga ba ako nga ba ang may sala

Na ng ikaw ay lumayo akorsquoy naiwang nagiisa

At ng ikaw ay hanapin lsquodi alam na babalik ka

At sa iyong pagbabalik minahal mo ay iba

Sana ikarsquoy lumigaya mula nuon at kailanman

Hayaan ang pagtitiis manatiling naiiwan

Sakaling kung buhay na lsquoto ay kunin na ng Maykapal

Ikaw pa rin sa puso ko ang damdaming maiiwan

Sobrang sakit sobrang hapdi at sisi ko ay pag-ibig

Ang labis na katapatan naging sukli ay pasakit

Pag-ibig na iningatan mula noong tayorsquoy paslit

Nagwakas lang sa sumpaang lsquodi nagawang makakapit

Sadyang sayang na sayang lang ang panahong nakaraan

Sayang lsquopagkat tanging ikaw ang syang una kong minahal

Pag-ibig na nadama ko wala akong napagbigyan

Kahit isa sa kanilanghellip bigtimang maghiganti lang

Pananggalang sa hangin nang lsquodi mapaspas

Kawangis ay telang katad na maluwang

Na mahalaga sa taong gumagamit

Ang batas ay kapara ng lsquosang balabal

Baluting nagtatanggol sa karapatan

Walang inuuri lahat pantay-pantay

Siyang dapat umiral sa pamayanan

Subalirsquot kung sa paggamit ay mamali

frugal housewives go crazy and gamble their meager fam-ily savings away where run-away teens from the burbs sell their bodies for a song where mob rule reigns supreme ldquoWhat happens in Vegas stays in Vegasrdquo is the cityrsquos tour-ism line True enough The surrounding desert sometimes yields mangled bodies which stayed

The word in Vegas these days is ldquoThe fi x was on in the Pacquiao-Bradley fi ghtrdquo

Some complain that the hor-rid fi ght decision was the result of incompetent judges But no one who has seen the fi ght and scored it the way the judges did can be that in-competent One has to be a moron to do so That three judges are morons is possible but not probable So more likely than not Teddy Atlasrsquo corrup-tion allegation applies

Even the judge who scored the fi ght for Pacquiao looks suspicious He scored it 115-113 Clearly Pac-quiao won by a very wide margin and this judge made it appear like a very close fi ght like the others who also scored the fi ght 115-113 for Bradley Commentator Harold Lederman scored it eleven rounds Pacquiao one round Bradley

The judges couldnrsquot score it unani-mously for Bradley as that would make the fi x too obvious So all of them appeared to have conspired to make it look like a close fi ght By scoring it that way the psychology involved is that some of those who watched would begin to doubt what their eyes had seen mdash of Bradleyrsquos face smashing repeatedly against Pacquiaorsquos fi st

Like any savvy streetwise journal-ist Atlas knows the score Boxing matches can be fi xed and sometimes are He smells a rat whose stink reaches into the heavens The deci-sion has all the elements of a fi x

Consider the thoughtless state-ments of Duane Ford the 86 year old judge who voted for Bradley In defending his decision he said that he did not think Pacquiao did enough to win the fi ght

When confronted with the stats that Pacquiao landed 190 power punches whereas Bradley landed only 108 and further that Pacquiao landed a total of 253 out of 751 punches and Bradley was 159 of 839 ndash Fordrsquos lame excuse was ldquoI donrsquot look at punch stats but I saw Manny miss a lot of punches and Brad-ley hit Manny and win a lot of the exchangeshellipI thought Bradley gave Pacquiao a boxing lessonrdquo

What a joke Fordrsquos credibility with these statements is negative zero What he is saying is contrary to what millions of viewers saw and what Compubox is saying The silent uncompromising purely objective machine witness cannot lie

And pray what is an 86 year old man doing judging a contest which requires a judge who can view and score the hits of fi sts that have the speed of lightning Is it possible that he did not think Pacquiao did not do enough because his 86 year old eyes did not see Pacquiaorsquos fl ash punches Who put this fossil there That alone sounds fi shy

The judgesrsquo shameless decisions are indefensible And what happened to the unwritten but good rule that if you are the challenger you have to demonstrably show that you deserve to be the new champion by either knocking out the champion or ab-solutely dominating the fi ght There was nothing of that sort here shown by Bradley who was like an amateur compared to Pacquiao

In his comments Atlas seems to suggest that somehow Arum was involved in this fi x suggesting that there is word that Pacquiaorsquos con-tract with Arum is about to end and Pacquiao wants out and that when something like that is afoot some-thing happens

Arum on the other hand con-demned the judgesrsquo decisions and called for an investigation but at the same time admitted that decisions are almost always never reversed un-less the winning boxer is discovered using drugs Arum and just about everybody else is undoubtedly say-ing ndash and justifi ably so ndash that the fi x was on

Whether Arum is putting on an act in calling for an investigation to veer suspicion away from him only Arum knows Letrsquos hope not But if he is serious his demands should

He was caught by Japa-

nese soldiers but later released by pretending to be a crazy idiot

I believed his stories then not because I was young but I saw his various life skills He could survive in any situa-tion His mind was constantly working and never quits on anything

When the war was over he worked as the Chief Security Offi cer at the War Surplus Depot in Samar Island When he had enough money saved he bought one lot of the war surplus machineries rented a ship and went home to my mother at Cebu Island I saw the black and white photos of the various items he bought He fi xed the jeeps trucks and other equipments then sold

them He spent his money in gam-bling and women He also helped his siblings and other people but never bought land

Finally he moved to Iloilo with my mom and two sisters He brought the left over stuff he had to start a new life The only big item I saw was an old Army cargo truck I was six when he let me steer the wheels while sitting on his lap Later he sold that too before we moved to a house close to the town market and schools

As a middleman my father was an expert in connecting buyers and sellers He would also lease vacant land fi nd a farmer to till it and nego-tiate share cropping He could fi nd many ways to make money

We may have a different outlook in life but I admired my fatherrsquos principle in life Hersquos never afraid of tomorrow He was a fi ghter until the end I wish I told him I cared so much before he passed away Happy Fatherrsquos Day

Pacquiaorsquos Defeat a Cheat

A Brief Overview

BY CESAR D CANDARI MD FCAP EMERITUS

HENDERSON NEVADA

Is this the tip of the iceberg in this boxing sport with bias judging After ]watching the fans react to last nightrsquos decision it was pretty clear that even ]the most diehard box-ing fans are getting fed up with the current state of their ]sport The city of Las Vegas unquestionably will be impacted fi nancially

I am not a boxing afi cionado My son-law-in law an American invited my wife and me last night to watch the Manny Pacquiao-Bradley match Since it was well publicized in the local media and I guess all over the world because of the popularity of the Filipino boxer Pac-man I was very excited to see a kababayan (countryman) to win the fi ght I saw the unoffi cial round by round score on TV screen with only one round (10nth round) won by the American boxer

I was of course shock and all of us in the family TV room of my son-in-law to hear the judgersquos decision The following morning media coverage stated that around the world boxing fans and pundits were shock of the wrong decision and also expressed shock over the result of the Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley fi ght that took place in Las Vegas Nevada It has turned the boxing world upside down and inside out

I am a Filipino-American physi-cian As a specialist in pathology we analyze our judgment USING OUR EYES based upon what we see in the microscope very me-

ticulously done to make a right diagnosis whether it is malignant or benign Once in a while a subject of controversy comes in when it is a diffi cult case When that happens consultations among more than three pathologists are done It is not subjective analysis It is objective quality control practice Boxing judges must have an lsquohonest quality control practicersquo

Now unlike the Pacquiao deci-sion that he lost the fi ght to me is a shock because it appears clear (despite not a boxing enthusiast) that the judges made a mistake if not a blatant blindness of the two judges with a microscope in the ringside I suggest the State Boxing Commis-sion must look into this matter

Is boxing a most subjective and controversial in terms of making a judgment It has been known that there are bias judges and or corrupt to some percentages I do not accuse the judges in the P-B fi ght last night but something has to be reviewed when loud boos came from the audience TV commentators and reporters ldquopunchstatrdquo statistics de-clared that Pacquiao won the fi ght

There has to be a modernized procedure on how to score effective punching as being the core There must be an extra judge to review All judges must have a comprehensive training standardized training uni-formity of criteria I agree the judges are experienced men albeit it does not make them free from bias mind I admit we are humans and subject to fallibility and yes bias Objective judging is a must

By the way boxing is a breeding ground for controversy But not this one last night It should not be within that milieu Asked those who watched in television all over the world In my personal view Pac-man won by score and hard punches

Everybody knows the fi ght has gone the wrong way I read in my search engine about bias boxing de-cisions and some down right blatant wrong (as in corrupt) decisions Is there any governing body doing investigations into these so-called high rolling judges

With all of the hype surrounding last nightrsquos sport event the boxing fans and all Filipinos here in the US and in the Philippines and all over the globe are downright disgusted Frankly the only truly damning result for the sport would be for the fi ght to end in a controversial deci-sion that gets the crowd thinking that the fi ght was fi xed or is there a con-spiracy to result a rematch business

buildup money for promoters and to those behind the fi ghts

Funny but true I will compare the 3 judges as the matching part of the three Philippine Senator Judges Santiago Arroyo and Marcos who voted not guilty to CJ Corona in the impeachment in the Senate Assem-bly while there is that overwhelming evidence of guilt of the man being impeached These 2 boxing judges disregard what Pac-man did where ldquopunchstatrdquoscoring or CompuBox and Associated Press (AP) have counted it a win for Pac-man Do you think the two judges have ldquo hanginrdquo (hot air) in their head like Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago

Could we believe Promoter Arum when he stated last night ldquoThe deci-sion was a ridiculous decision You guys all know who won this fi ght So letrsquos be honest about the situ-ation Hopefully wersquoll revisit it in Novemberhellip I hope boxing recov-ers because this isnrsquot arguing about a close decision This is something thatrsquos an absurdity thatrsquos ridiculous and everybody thatrsquos involved in boxing should feel ashamedrdquo He continued ldquoI went over to Bradley before the decision and he (Bradley) said lsquoI tried hard but I couldnrsquot beat the guyrdquo

To quote a friend ldquoThe fact that the judges made an obvious and shameless travesty of Mannyrsquos obvi-ous control of the fi ght and having landed the more telling shots reeks of obvious tampering and corrup-tionrdquo Pacquiao is seriously planning to retire Therefore one may con-clude that to win this fi ght he will certainly retire Losing it a rematch was already in the Promoters agree-ment in a contract with Bradley

Whether the rematch was pre-planned is the big question Manny has been Arumrsquos boom to earn a lot of money Greed For Pac-man to accept a rematch in November and loss a fi ght will be a big embarrass-ment for him and the Filipinos since we thought that he really won the fi ght I can see Pac-man appeared weaker unable to have a knock-out punch not like in previous fi ghts He is getting older Irsquod say forget the millions of dollars You have it already People around the world declared you a winner last Satur-dayrsquos fi ght My personal advice is for you ( Pacquiao) to completely retire now You are a Filipino icon in World Boxing

In January of 1936 a young girl named Phyllis wrote to Albert Ein-stein on behalf of her Sunday school class and asked Do scientists pray Her letter and Einsteins reply can be read below

The Riverside Church

January 19 1936

My dear Dr Einstein

We have brought up the question Do scientists pray in our Sunday school class It began by asking whether we could believe in both science and religion We are writing to scientists and other important men to try and have our own ques-tion answered

We will feel greatly honored if you will answer our question Do scientists pray and what do they pray for

We are in the sixth grade Miss Elliss class

Respectfully yours

Phyllis

----------------------

January 24 1936

Dear Phyllis

I will attempt to reply to your question as simply as I can Here is my answer

Scientists believe that every oc-currence including the affairs of human beings is due to the laws of nature Therefore a scientist can-not be inclined to believe that the course of events can be infl uenced by prayer that is by a supernaturally manifested wish

However we must concede that our actual knowledge of these forces is imperfect so that in the end the belief in the existence of a fi nal ul-timate spirit rests on a kind of faith Such belief remains widespread even with the current achievements in science

But also everyone who is serious-ly involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that some spirit is manifest in the laws of the uni-verse one that is vastly superior to that of man In this way the pursuit

Albert Einsteins Letter Response To A Girl Asking Do Scientists Pray

of science leads to a religious feeling of a special sort which is surely quite different from the religiosity of someone more naive

With cordial greetings

your A Einstein

Daily Meditation Choosing Love

How can someone ever trust in the existence of an unconditional divine love when most if not all of what he or she has experienced is the opposite of love - fear hatred violence and abuse

They are not condemned to be victims There remains within them hidden as it may seem the possibili-ty to choose love Many people who have suffered the most horrendous rejections and been subject to the most cruel torture are able to choose love By choosing love they become witnesses not only to enormous hu-man resiliency but also to the divine love that transcends all human loves Those who choose even on a small scale to love in the midst of hatred and fear are the people who offer true hope to our world

Q What is the signifi cance of 3 Oclock prayer in the morning because there are

so many answered prayers at 3 Oclock in the morning It is written in the BDclock prayer that he died at 3 O clock in the

afternoon Pls explain

A Well at 3 Oclock in the morning that is the time of His resurrection That is the time of His resurrection and in fact it is in the record that during the resurrection Jesus met with Mama Mary at 4 oclock in the morning so He must have resurrected at 3 oclock in the morning

Also on record He was made captive at 3 oclock in the morning He died at 3 oclock in the afternoon and He resurrected after 3 day also at 3 0clock in the morning

That is why Jesus sometimes wakes us up at 3 oclock in the morning it is because He wanted you to pray

He did not wake you up without a purpose He woke you up because He know there are many an-swered prayers at 3 0 clock in the morning

The Seattle Worldrsquos Fair com-memorates its 50th Anniver-sary this year and true to its

tradition since it was fi rst held in 1962 the event will be celebrated with grand fanfare and merriment For Seattlersquos Filipino community ldquoPagdiriwang 2012rdquo will be held which will surely be a grandiose celebration of Filipino music and culture with exceptional talents such as Sam Milby Sheryn Regis and the Bayanihan Dance Company gracing the event

Ellen Abellera Pagdiriwang 2012 Coordinator describes the 1962 Seattle Worldrsquos Fair as more than a ldquoFestival of the Westrdquo She said ldquoTalented men and women turned this audacious idea into a transformative event that captured the imagination of the world introduced Se-attle as a global city and deliberately left our community a civic center that thrived 50 years laterrdquo

A Reception Fit For A StarAfter spending weeks on the road with

the University of the Philippines Concert Chorus (aka UPCC or Korus) and be-ing the self-appointed Public Relations Offi cer of the group Irsquom now back in Seattle to coordinate the Korusrsquo schedule of performances Taking a break from my chaotic schedule I was pleased to ac-cept Nick and Cindyrsquo Panlasiguersquos dinner reception invitation (better term would be ldquoself-inviterdquo) to welcome Pagdiriwang 2012rsquos guest performers - Sam Sheryn and the Bayanihan Dance Company

Earlier I was part of the welcome team who met Sam and some members of the Bayanihan at the International Drop-In Center (IDIC) Sluggo Rigor IDIC Director invited me to IDIC to warmly welcome the artists to the City of Seattle I took the opportunity to talk to Sam and I was happy to hear him say that he remembers the day I covered his concert in Seattle together with Piolo Pascual and Rica Peralejo

Sam is Filipino-American whose moth-er is a native of Tago Surigao del Sur He was born in Troy Ohio and became an instant celebrity and heartthrob when he appeared on the popular reality series ldquoPinoy Big Brotherrdquo in November 2005

I was glad I met Sam earlier because at the dinner reception hosted by the Pan-lasigues he was not able to come He excused himself from the dinner recep-tion because he was too tired after a long day of promoting the event Anyway the waiting movie fans of Sam were not too disappointed because Sheryn Regis came to join us for dinner

Sheryn was known as the ldquoQueen of ABS-CBNrsquos Teleserye Theme Songsrdquo She gave life to theme songs from popu-lar teleseryes such as Marina Krystala Maria Flordeluna Gulong ng Palad and many more She fi rst became known as a consistent top scorer of ldquoStar in a Millionrdquo where she eventually ended up as runner-up to Erik Santos in January 2004 Sheryn now resides in the United States continuing her singing career and stage acting

Also present at the dinner reception was Gelo TFCrsquos host for ldquoBarangay USA Supershowrdquo Gelo is one funny character and I had a grand time talking with him

Philippine Ambassadors of GoodwillAs I look at the tour schedule of the

Bayanihan Dance Company I canrsquot help but admire the vivacity of the young members of the group They are tireless and full of energy despite their hectic schedules The members do not get paid for the long tedious hours of rehearsals nor for their unselfi sh display of talent Whenever I ask the members of the Bayanihan Dance Co and the UPCC why they are doing this I often get the same reply ldquoItrsquos because of our passion for music and dancerdquo

I believe that the young talents of the Bayanihan Dance Company as well as the UP Concert Chorus should always be commended for what they are doing They represent the country in many in-ternational competitions they share their talents to countless Filipino communities abroad They are truly the ldquounsungrdquo Philippines Ambassadors of Goodwill

What is Jet Lag

Jet lag can easily occur when you fl y to a time zone that is different by 5 hours or more

The symptoms of jet lag include diffi culties in sleeping sleepiness during the day tiredness and grogginess

The effects of jet lag are stronger when fl ying east than west Using JALrsquos World Clock you can check the local time at ma-jor cities worldwide

Good Use of Time When the length of stay is 2 to 3

daysBe sure to get enough rest and

sleep before your departureIt may be easier to sleep according

to your home time rather than trying to adjust to the local time at your destination

When the stay is longerBe sure to get enough rest and

sleep before your departureWhen traveling east (ie from

Japan to North America) try going

to bed and getting up progressively earlier several days before your departure When traveling west (ie Japan to Europe) do the opposite and go to bed later and get up later

When on board set your watch to the destination time Try to fall asleep as soon as possible when traveling east

After your arrival try to keep your schedule on local time

Take advantage of bright sunlight to help your bodyrsquos internal clock reset to the local time For example if you are traveling from Japan to the west coast of North America spend the fi rst day sunbathing by the seaside or the pool walking shop-ping or playing sports (fast walking swimming tennis golf etc) starting around noon local time (early morn-ing in Japan)

Sleeping Medication

For severe insomnia take sleeping medication under the guidance of your doctor However do not mix sleeping medication with alcohol -- Courtesy of Japan Airlines

Best Ways to Avoid Jet Lag

Stress free ways to slim down your suitcase

by Melinda Quintero (Frommerrsquos Travel) AARP | 492012 -- The ten-dency when packing for a trip is to throw in everything mdash just in case A chance of rain and yoursquore stuffi ng in rubber boots the possibility of down time and yoursquore packing your entire library The fi rst step toward streamlining is to eliminate the items you truly donrsquot need These guide-lines on what NOT to pack will keep your luggage bulk in check

1 Items Prohibited by the TSA

If yoursquore fl ying check with the Transportation Security Administra-tion to see if anything you plan to pack is prohibited The TSA website

has clear guidance about whatrsquos allowed and whatrsquos not in carry-ons checked luggage or both When in doubt about an item leave it at home

2 Regular-Sized Toiletries

Full-sized bottles of shampoo and lotion are heavy take up precious space and because of TSA 3-1-1 guidelines make carry-on fl ying impossible Create a toiletries kit with trial-sized drugstore sundries (toothpaste deodorant and the like) and plastic bottles or jars fi lled with favorite products A trip is also a great opportunity to fi nish off those almost-empty tubes of toothpaste and cosmetic samples If you frequently visit a friend or relative ask to keep a stash of your favorite

products at his or her house

3 Nonessential Clothing

Every article you pack should pull double-duty so build a mix-and-match neutral-palette wardrobe Use easy-to-pack accessories mdash scarves shawls ties and belts mdash to add a pop of color and transform daytime outfi ts into evening ensembles Active-wear items work well for sportsoutdoor activities and sight-seeing Hand-washing allows for fewer items Opt for quick-drying wrinkle-resistant fabrics avoid those that require ironing or dry-cleaning Also select the lightest fabrics pos-sible For cold climates this means hand-washable silk and ultra-light fl eece instead of bulky wool or cotton It also means a coat you can wear in transit the best are light (down coats are great as are trench coats with removable linings) and just large enough to accommodate layers

4 Too Many Shoes

Packing pros can get away with just two pairs and you can too Wear your bulkier shoes on the plane They should be both practical and versatile comfortable winter boots with a touch of style are great for sightseeing or a night out Tennis shoes work well for running around on or off the court Itrsquos best if these shoes are easy to remove at airport

Common Mistakes When Packing for a Tripsecurity though

so think slip-ons or those with

Velcro or zipper clo-sures Your second pair

can be dress-ier

though you

might want to skip those with sky-high heels or heavy soles

5 Extraneous Gear

Hotels provide a lot of what you need to feel at home Often this includes bathrobes hair dryers and a selection of toiletries Knowing whatrsquos available ahead of time will help you streamline your packing list If yoursquore staying at a resort in a sunny clime beach towels mats and other accessories will be readily available either through the resort or beach vendors Unless yoursquore extremely attached to your personal golf clubs skis tennis rackets or other sports equipment plan to rent it on arrival rather than haul it with you Keep in mind you can always ship your luggage ahead of time (for less than you might think)

6 Bulky Reading Material

Your vacation might not be the best time to fulfi ll that lifelong goal of reading War and Peace Maga-zines journals newspapers and cheap mdash even secondhand mdash paper-backs are great for plane and train rides Not only are they affordable and lightweight along the way you

can trade them with other travelers donate them to an English-language book exchange or simply leave them behind for others to enjoy If yoursquore a voracious reader it might be time to go digital E-reader devices weigh only a few ounces and can store thousands of digitized books and periodicals

7 Valuables

When you travel sadly mishaps involving lost luggage and skilled pickpockets are possibilities When packing for a trip you can avoid tempting fate and streamline your bag by leaving valuable jewelry clothing and accessories at home If you have to bring lots of cash or ex-pensive items be sure to pack them in your carry-on instead of checked bags And always travel with money in multiple forms cash debit cards and credit cards

Travel while rewarding can also be very diffi cult particularly for the very young the very old or those with medical conditions Here are a few holiday travel tips (or really travel tips for all year long) for the elderly who may fi nd the traffi c

and crowds and airport hassles a bit overwhelming

Bring any medication you might need including extras Split the medication and pack it in two places so that if one gets lost you will have another set available Perhaps keep one set in checked luggage and one in a carry-on or purseBring a note from your doctor regarding your medication Have it identify the medicines and what they doDonrsquot carry your bags through the airport Get luggage with wheels and then also use all available resources such as carts skycaps and available staff to help you maneuver and lift your bags No one wants an injury on top of everything else during a busy travel day And many head neck and back injuries are caused by lifting and turning heavy luggageNotify the airline in advance if you have a walker or wheelchair They will be happy to help you with it but itrsquos best to give advance warning if possibleArrive at the airport earlier than the recommended times especially if you will need any assistance Having a bit of a cushion of time will make

7 Travel Tips for the Elderly


other organizationsldquoThe planning process for the

application brought together people and agencies that would not have met otherwiserdquo said Virginia Hart-nett Program Manager for Chula Vista Elementary School District ldquoThis gave us the chance to expand the possibilities to reach bigger and wider than anyone could have on their own As a result we have a truly community-based strategyrdquo

Beyond the award contest Chula Vistarsquos plan makes the city a charter member in a national movement of local leaders nonprofits and founda-tions committed to improving pro-ficient literacy by third grade - the most important predictor of school success towards high school gradua-tion That milestone marks the point when children shift from learning to read and begin reading to learn Stu-dents who have not mastered reading by then are more likely to get stuck in a cycle of academic failure drop out of school and struggle through-out their lives

ldquoEducation in the United States is probably the most critical economic development issue of our time and preparing students early for high school graduation college and careers is criticalrdquo said Chula Vista Mayor Cheryl Cox ldquoChula Vistarsquos Elementary School District is exem-plary and today another significant step has been achieved in reinforcing the good work that is happening

throughout the districtrsquos class-roomsrdquo

The 124 cities and counties in-volved in the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading Community Network are adopting a collective impact strategy engaging the community around the goal of supporting low-income children from birth through third grade The plans involve schools but acknowledge that they alone cannot address the myriad problems that keep children from learning to read

Three specific areas have been identified as crucial to helping chil-dren read well by the end of third grade and significantly increasing studentssbquolsquochances of graduating from high school School Readiness Student Attendance and Summer Learning

The Chula Vista Community Solu-tions Action Plan outlines ambitious but achievable goals for each of the three target areas over the next three years

School Readiness aims to increase the number of children ready for kindergarten each year by identify-ing children with developmental or social concerns and providing as-sistance to them in the years before kindergarten In addition to offering free developmental screenings to families several strategies have been identified to help parents convey the importance of literacy to their children

Student Attendance seeks to de-crease the number of students who are chronically absent ie absent 10 percent of more of the school days Chula Vista has been nominated by the National Civic League for Pacesetter Honors in this area The elementary school district has an excellent track record for helping students attend school regularly To support the districtrsquos efforts and help all children attend school regularly the community identified two par-ticular elementary schools to partner with in the first year of implementa-tion with more to be added each year

Summer Learning seeks to maxi-mize reading opportunities over the

summer and increase the number of participating children The crux of this plan is a partnership between the Chula Vista Public Library and the South Bay Family YMCA to extend the Libraryrsquos Summer Reading

Program into summer camp Addi-tionally businesses are invited to es-tablish a Childrenrsquos Lending Library by placing a basket of childrenrsquos books in their lobby or waiting room this summer To receive an initial basket of free books or to donate baskets or childrenrsquos books please call 619-691-5175

ldquoThe plan outlines strategies that strengthen and expand existing pro-grams as well as those that are new and innovativesaid Chief Service Officer Amber Weber All young people deserve the opportunity to read well and graduate from high school If every caring adult read a book to a child tutored a student or mentored a young person think of the long-term effect it would have not only on the student but also on the communityrdquo

probably not be limited to mere pro forma words He should make the investigation a reality Clear up the dirt in boxing once and for all and do humanity a service Pacquiao who may really be sincerely trying to be a saint ndash can help in that effort Itrsquos going to be a major endeavor requir-ing the help of the Feds but why not now A businessman and a potential saint combination to clean up a ma-jor Vegas operation Highly unlikely but anything is possible

Was Pacquiao involved in this fix as some are claiming

Thatrsquos not the case as he actually won the fight If he was involved he would just have allowed Bradley to punch him silly

How about Bradley Equally innocent He just happened to be a lucky pawn

Did Pacquiao lose anything in this fight

In reality Pacquiao does not lose anything but gains He suffers no loss of prestige because everybody knows he won He also does not need to look for another opponent as Bradley is ready made for the No-vember rematch A third fight may even be possible if the fight which Pacquiao will win is close enough So he actually earns more money

The situation also provides perfect timing for the Mayweather Pac-quiao trilogy which starts next year ndash a fitting finale for Pacquiao and Mayweatherrsquos retirement with both amassing tons of green

How about the bright boys who manipulated this scandalous Brad-ley win Aside from the quantum returns from their investment in controlling the system and sure bets the satisfaction of seeing their cre-ative thoughts become a reality will be there for them to relish for a long time ndash at least until the next project

How about the boxing fans Well they know that they were hood-winked They may cry to the heavens shout bloody murder and complain much But they also know they are willing suckers entertained by and addicted to a blood sport like the Romans of old cheering for the Christians or the lions Theyrsquoll be there for the next fight and the next after thathellip Note The California State Bar honors Atty Ted Laguatan as one of only 29 lawyers officially certified continuously for more than 20 years as Expert-Specialists in Im-migration Law and the only Filipino lawyer who has achieved that dis-tinction Email laguatanlawgmailcom Tel 650 991-1154 Address 455 Hickey Blvd Suite 516 Daly City Cal 94015


Was Pacquiao in-volved in the fix

by Henry Omaga-Diaz ABS-CBN News | MANILA Philip-pines 6122012 ndash Experts warn of massive flooding and casualties if catastrophe hits the 44-year-old Angat Dam

Experts said the life span of dams is only 50 years

Bulacan Governor Wilhelmino Sy Alvarado says another concern is that the damrsquos reservoir lies on top of a fault line

ldquoMayroong crack mayroong fault Ito ay layer of soil and stones underneath na uneven Kapag ito raw ay nag-move at nag-trigger ng earthquake kinakatakot nila ay at 72-magnitude kaya ba ito ng istrak-tura ng Angat Damrdquo said Alvarado said

The Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) com-missioned a study by US company Grimston Tonkin and Taylor and the agencyrsquos administrator Gerry Es-quivel says the results are alarming

ldquoAng projection namin ay P201 billion ang damage and 30000 lives Nakakatakot din pero as of today it has survived 44 years of operation so we are hoping that it can sur-vive the construction periodrdquo said Esquivel

If Angat Dam fails it will result in flooding in 20 towns in Bulacan 3 towns in Pampanga and 3 cities in

Massive flooding feared if Angat Dam fails

Metro ManilaThe floodwaters are estimated to

reach between 10 and 30 metersMetro Manila and Bulacan depend

on Angat Dam for electricity drink-ing water and irrigation

However Rodolfo German gen-eral manager of the Angat Hydro-electric Power Plant dispels fears that cracks have weakened the dam

ldquoHindi naman napatunayan pa na lsquoyun ay karugtong ng faultrdquo said German

German acknowledges that damrsquos lifespan is only 50 years but he insists this can be extended with proper maintenance

President Benigno Aquino III has already ordered the release of P57 billion for the damrsquos rehabilitation -- ANC

payday of his life because hersquos now the defending champion and is entitled to a share of the purse not very far from Pacquiaorsquos take home pay

Why was it easy to suspect that the Pacquiao-Bradley fight was fixed Consider these

There are very few fighters in the horizon that can justify the big revenues of the previous Pacquiao fights A Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather

bout would have broken all previous revenue records but that never took off Mayweather seems to fear getting beat-en and humbled by Pacquiao A Bradley trilogy is the best option for ensuring that there will be three big-revenue fights for Pacquiao now obviously in his sunset years as a fighter

Bradley is the man Pacquiao would want to beat him He can easily knock out Bradley in their projected Novem-ber rematch setting the stage for a third mega revenue bout The superiority of Pacquiao was evident from the 12 rounds they fought last June 10 (Manila Time)

The initial emotional reaction of many who watched the fight was that the bad decision marked the death of boxing Thatrsquos only an initial emotional reaction The truth is boxing is now a dying sport and if not for Manny Pacquiao it could have been dead and

buried a long time ago Nowadays many donrsquot even know and care to know whorsquos the reigning heavyweight champion of the world

If indeed the Pacquiao-Bradley fight was fixed the next question that needs to be answered is this Who were in on the big fix Was this just the work of a crime syndicate who found a way to bribe two judges and rake it in from the 5 to 1 odds against Bradley Or was Bob Arum part of the deal and the plan-ning And if Bob Arum was in on it are Pacquiao and Bradley in on it too

Another factor that feeds the suspi-cion that our Pacman could have been in on the big fix is the many talks and media reports that Pacquiao has been living off future fight revenues He recently underwent negative public-ity for failing to respond to queries of

and the United KingdomIn London he said that in his

meetings with them British Prime Minister David Cameron and Prince Andrew appreciated the good out-come of his administrationrsquos bid to get to the ldquoright pathrdquo and praised his governmentrsquos efforts to have peace talks with state enemies as well as the high growth of the coun-tryrsquos economy

Mr Aquino said that Obama stressed the importance of the alli-ance between Washington and Ma-nila and their desire to ensure free and peaceful navigation in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea)

form design of the ldquoItrsquos More Fun in the Philippinesrdquo slogan and logo and different faces of the Philippines the Depart-ment of Tourism (DOT) said

Subway stations on the other hand feature images of the Ifugao rice terraces and the Puerto Princesa Underground River both proclaimed as World Heritage Sites the DOT added

Jimenez said the timely execution of the ads has been deliberate and well studied

ldquoImagine the gross impact of these adsrdquo he said

Jimenez said London has a popula-tion of about 75 million and attracts around 15 million international visitors

ldquoWe are generating awareness not only among the British population but also among visitors to the United Kingdom rated number seven among the most visited countries in the worldrdquo

Jimenez said the two-week advertising campaign in buses and underground railways coincides with the worldwide marketing campaign through CNN International

The campaign through the London cabs will continue until early next year he added

Jimenez said the campaign would bring the opportunity to capture the millions of visitors attending the Queenrsquos Jubilee and the London 2012 Olympics and the season 2012-2013 of the Fulham Football Club of the English Premier League estimat-ed to draw 690 million household viewers

The London cabs come with a 30-minute digital ad which will fea-ture the 30-seconder ldquoItrsquos more fun in the Philippinesrdquo TVC and 15-sec-onder tarsier TVC recently launched worldwide via network giant CNN he added

Jimenez said the DOT is the very fi rst national tourism organization to advertise through the taxisrsquo digital platform and these will be shown in the 1400 units that Verifone Media owns

ldquoWe will soon furnish these cabs with fl yers to contain more fun informationrdquo he said

Different Philippine posters are also found at strategic stops near Londonrsquos tourist areas like Covent Garden Leicester Square Oxford Circus Piccadilly Circus and Tot-tenham Court Road

Vertical posters and escalator

panels feature the underground river and rice terraces through the memes ldquoThe Underground More Fun in the Philippinesrdquo and ldquoStairway to Heaven More Fun in the Philip-pinesrdquo

The DOT said the UK is a major tourist market for the Philippines being the top generator from this region Last year it ranked 9th over-all with an unprecedented 104000 arrivals registering a 778 percent increase over the 2010 performance

Jimenez expressed confi dence that the country would be able to lure more tourists from the UK to visit the Philippines through the current publicity efforts and other promo-tional activities -- (Story courtesy of Philippine Starrsquos Mayen Jaymalin)

Grueling campaign

In the nearby 20th district (covering San Lorenzo Cherryland Ashland Fairview Hayward Castro Valley Sunol Union City North Fremont) fi rst-time Democratic candidate Ong fi nished a strong second winning 9717 representing 2492 percent against Hayward City Councilman Bill Quirkrsquos 11773 votes (302 percent)

In her phoned-in statement to FilAm Star early Thursday Ong said in Tagalog ldquoThe help and support among our kababayan in District 18 which the campaign needed all fell into place The entire campaign hellip the volunteers active supporters and myself hellip are doubly determined to work even harder and win in November That would be immediately giving back to the commu-nity that supported me last Tuesdayrdquo

Hermy Almonte an elected trustee of the San Leandro Unifi ed School District said the Ong campaign held a victory party at the Filipino-owned restaurant in San Leandro Smiling Jack Station

Almonte said Filipinos in the district strongly supported Ong who was mis-taken by some voters as ethnic Chinese He added that a gathering of Filipinos last Sunday at the Filipino-owned Tribu Restaurant in Union City where hors drsquooeuvres were served courtesy of the owner clarifi ed Ongrsquos ethnicity

ldquoIt was a very grueling campaignrdquo Almonte said ldquoespecially in the last three weeksrdquo adding that the strong fi nal push helped seal Ongrsquos moving forward in the November ballot

Political observers said Ongrsquos poll performance was enhanced by strong support within the districtrsquos large Asian American community specifi cally Filipinos

If elected Ong an optometrist and businesswoman would be the only Fili-pino American in the state legislature a distinction Bonta is also chasing in the nearby 18th Assembly District this fall

Pundits think that in a county where only 21 percent of registered vot-ers showed up to vote Ongrsquos public appearances and distribution of free potted plants and mailers containing pot holders got out the vote

The polls results proved disastrous for Union City Mayor Mark Green (who is married to a Filipina the former Cora Vicencio) fi nishing third with 2086 percent

Earlier in the day Green learned the Alameda County Board of Supervisors had excluded him from consideration to replace Nadia Lockyer Later in the night his Assembly campaign as an independent fell short of fi nishing in the top two

the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) on his alleged unpaid taxes A cash-strapped Pacquiao seeing that he has few fi ghts left in his boxing career is easily perceived as vulnerable to a big fi x News stories from the US purport-ing a sudden last minute placing of bets on Bradley reinforced this suspicion

Bob Arumrsquos rant and call for an investigation didnrsquot convince some of those who suspected that he was in on the alleged big fi x On Facebook sev-eral commented that Arum did that to cover his tracks Others also pointed out that it seemed odd that Pacquiao easily accepted the judgesrsquo decision He had all the right to protest the decision but accepted it like a meek lamb

The Pacquiao-Bradley fi ght was nowhere near the Ali-Frazier March 8 1971 fi rst fi ght Ali may have been lead-ing up to that point when Frazier scored a 15th round knockdown and subse-quently won by a unanimous decision Only the most biased and defective eyes would have considered Bradleyrsquos performance to be like Joe Frazierrsquos in 1971 And yet Pacquiao hardly pro-tested the decision Even Bradley was reported to have known and was ready to accept that he lost to Pacquiao And yet Pacquiao hardly pleaded his case

Could it be the New Christian that Pacquiao has been trying to project lately that allowed him to accept being cheated so gallantly You can believe that if you want to but not me

My friend Ronnie Nathanielz was right to call the decision a high crime in Las Vegas although he would only press the issue with the two judges Indeed there was a high crime that was committed in Las Vegas last June 10 and we should all demand for an investigation that will bring out the whole truth

Political observers had predicted a tight three-person race between Bonta Guillen and Joel Young but the polling turned into a smooth road to victory for Bonta whose union organizer-parents are both Filipino immigrants to America

Young fi nished with 189 percent while Rhonda Weber tallied 1583

Our factual scenario begins with the story of a tourist who enters the United States as a visitor for pleasure At the port of entry she was only given an authorized stay of three months Upon her entry she wasted no time and started touring the country visiting her friends and relatives She liked the country so much such that she decided not to go back to her home country A few years later she met someone who was 15 years younger than her Despite their age they fell in love with each other and eventually got married Since her spouse was a US citizen he fi led an immigrant petition for her and she concurrently fi led an application for adjustment of status to have her status adjusted to that of a permanent resident In about four months they were inter-viewed by the US Citizenship and Immigration Service During their initial interview the immigration offi cer noticed the age gap between them and suspected that their mar-riage was not a real one The offi cer then referred them to another offi cer who conducted a fraud interview We usually hear a lot of stories as to what happens during a fraud inter-view Some stories give an accurate account of what transpires during fraud interviews but some stories are somewhat exaggerated So what really happens during a fraud interview

When the spouses are referred to a fraud interview they are usually separated from each other The offi cer will lead the other spouse to a separate room while he waits for his turn to be questioned by the of-fi cer The questions propounded are detailed and could be very personal Some offi cers could ask the spouses questions like the circumstances on how they met details of their wedding physical arrangement of their residence their day to day ac-tivities food that they had the night before the interview things they bought as a couple clothes that they

wore the night before the interview and gifts that they give to each other Fraud interviews usually take be-tween two to four hours depending on the interviewing offi cer

It is important to note that the parties must respond as truthfully as they can to the questions asked They should not give answers think-ing that it is the answer the offi cer would like to hear The parties usu-ally get into trouble if they do that as their answers would not match if the other spouse is responding truth-fully to the offi cerrsquos questions The objective of the offi cer in conduct-ing these types of interviews is to ascertain whether or not the spouses have a shared life together Thus the key to passing these types of interviews is just to be honest and truthful about your relationship If the marriage is a bona fi de one then you have nothing to fear should the USCIS conduct a fraud interview in your case
