We need more Bea Zobel de Ayala in our country

Watching this documentary made me rekindle my kinship to the Filipino people. This proves that genuine caring, faith and love can make a difference and positive change and can go a very long way. Poignant the situation maybe, I still hope for a better future for the Filipino people. Needless to say, we need more Bea Zobel de Ayalas in our country, now.

-Sometimes in life you do things just because you love people. It makes me feel happy and fulfilled. I have so much in life that I find that in able to have so much in life, you have to balance your life, and if you don't balance your life at least a little bit, you cannot be happy.- Bea Zobel de Ayala

Election 2010

Para sa akin generally OK naman ang 2010 first automated election. Albeit maraming glitches, naayos naman kahit papaano. Kung baga hindi kasing palpak ng inaasahan ng marami ang nangyari kahit alam natin na konti na lang ay aatakihin na sa puso sa kaba ang mga taga Comelec at Smartmatic. Pero hindi pa rin sila lusot dahil for sure, may magrerequest ng audit sa performance nila lalo na ang Smartmatic na sa tingin ko ay malulugi sa dami ng aberyang nangyari. 

Dito sa amin, the usual ang reklamo. Mga di tinatanggap na balota, vote buying, wala sa listahan na pangalan, etc. Nakakainis din naman yung mga tao dahil masyado sila hyper pag may nangyaring aberya sa kanila. Pinagbubuntungan ng galit yung mga kawawang teachers na wala naman kinalaman. Yung kapitbahay namin na teacher ang nanay e nagspeech sa precint para ipagtanggol ang nanay nya kasi konti na lang e magugulpi na nanay nya ng mga dukha. Hayyy! Maraming tao pa rin ang salat sa common courtesy at respeto. Kudos sa lahat ng teachers at volunteers ng election para sa kanilang sakripisyo at dedication towards a peaceful election and hopefully, a new, better and well defined government. I lab you all!!! 

Sa precint kung saan ako bumoto ayus naman. Almost 1 hour din ako pumila kahit maaga akong dumating sa precint ko. Para lang kaming may family reunion sa dami ng mga kamag anak ko na nandoon. Nagrequest din ako na sa daliri sa paa na lang ilagay yung ink kasi ang pangit tignan, request not granted pero sabi kontian lang ang lagay dahil hindi naman ako mag fa flying voter. Muntik na rin akong mag-amok dahil hindi ko sinasadyang makita yung balota ng katabi ko. Kitang-kita ko na binoto nya si Jajajajamby. Ang sarap lang kutusan ni ate kasi di naman cya mukhang tumatanggap ng 500 pesos at isang kilong bigas. Sabagay, seeing the unofficial results ng election ay makikita natin na ubod pa rin ng dami ang mga tatanga tangang tao. As of this writing, 8 million plus ang boto ni Estrada, 8 million plus ang mga kinulang sa tamang pag iisip. Imagine, kung di tumakbo si Ngoyngoy, lo and behold! Hello Erap ulit ang Pilipinas. Kanina pa pag gising ko sabi agad ng daddy ko na panalo si GMA at si Pacman. WTF x 10 to the 20th power!

Nakaka awa din yung ibang lugar na dumanas pa rin ng karahasan sa botohan lalo na sa Mindanao area. I pity the candidates na gagawin ang lahat para lang manalo at magkamal ng kapangyarihan. Shame on you! Buhay pa kayo, nakasanla na ang mga kaluluwa nyo kay taning. 

I voted for Gordon and Mar. Kahit hindi mananalo si Gordon ok lang sa akin. Alam ko na balang araw ay hindi ko sisisihin ang sarili ko dahil hindi ko ibinoto yung sa tingin ko ay tama at nararapat na kandidato. Masaya ako dahil alam kong I made the right decision. Kesa naman sa iba dyan na nagpabayad o hindi bumoto for no valid reason kahit registered naman. Bawal mag-react, ok? 

Iba-iba rin ang binoto ng mga tao sa bahay, pero mostly pro-Ngoyngoy sila (may ugating dahilan kung bakit pero hindi ko pwedeng sabihin dito, top secret). Ako at yung isang kuya ko lang ang bumoto kay Gordon. Sa VP lang kami nagkapare-parehas. Most ng mga senador na binoto ko ay nasa top 12. Nakalimutan ko na actually kung sino mga binoto ko dahil wala akong listahan, on the spot ang pagpili ko. Natatandaan ko lang ay sina Revilla, Defensor, Drilon, Enrile, Hontiveros, Osmena, Cayetano. The rest second choice lang. Nilagay ko lang sila para hindi sayang yung slots. 

Kung merong isang taong pinakamasaya sa amin, yun ay si Rosaleee. Aside from pagrampa nya sa school kung saan kami bumoto, nag watcher ang hitad. Sayang din ang 2,500 na bayad sa kanya na may bonus pa dahil nanalo ang mayor na pinag watcheran nya. Kung ano ano pang freebies ang nakuha nya gaya ng food (adobo at chopseuy na may kanin at banana tsaka juice, sandwich na may palamang egg salad), libreng t-shirt, pamaypay, etc. Naaliw din cya sa mga kalalakihang naglabas masok sa precint na binabantayan nya. Pansamantalang nawaglit sa isipan nya ang kanyang newest crush – si Bret ng PBB Teen Clash na galit sa bangs! Sulit naman daw kahit hindi nya napanood ang walang kamatayang malapit ng mamatay na Tanging Yaman. 


Domjullian: Sinong binoto mo?
Rosaleee: Si Gordon at si Benay
Domjullian: Ako Gordon-Roxas
Rosaleee: Ha? Si Roxas din dapat ako pero wala dun sa balota ang pangalan nya koya.
Domjullian: Tanga, pwede ba yon.
Rosaleee: Hindi ko nakita. Wala talaga.
Domjullian: Manuel Roxas cya! Ano ba yan bingi ka na bulag ka pa.
Rosaleee: Ha? Ano koya?
Domjullian: Wala. Sino binoto mo sa mga senators?
Rosaleee: Si Estrada, si Miriam, si Jun Lozada. Di ko binoto si Bong wala naman nagawa yun.
Domjullian: Tanga mo talaga bakit mo binoto si Jun Lozada???
Rosaleee: Magaling kaya yun, cya yung sa ZPE (sepe-e) diba?
Domjullian: Hindi kapangalan nya lang yun. Tanga-tanga mo talaga. Tsaka ZTE yun hindi ZPE.
Rosaleee: Malay ko ba e magkapangalan sila. Wala naman kasing pecture. Sa susunod di ko na iboboto.
Domjullian: Libre mo ko tutal dami mong pera.
Rosaleee: Koya pambaon ko to sa pasukan.
Domjullian: Walking distance lang ang school kailangan mo ng baon?
Rosaleee: Cge na nga. Pero logaw lang, dun sa Alex.
Domjullian: Cge! Lugaw yon hindi LOGAW! Sumasakit ang bangs ko sayo!
*Tinitigan ako ni Rosaleee. Akala ko katapusan ko na!
Rosaleee: Koya wala ka namang bangs!


Weird talaga tong si Rosaleee pero atleast nagiisip cya, di lang basta bumoto. Good thing e nagshare cya ng blessing pero dapat lang kasi ako nagpasok sa kanya bilang watcher. Hehehe.

I used to be a Namfrel volunteer pero not this election kasi nakisabay ang trabaho. Gustuhin ko man ay may obligasyon akong dapat tapusin para sa mga kliyente ko, otherwise walang pantuition ang anak ko na miss na miss ko na at malapit ng umuwi.Yehey! May iba pa namang pagkakataon at panahon. 

Sa ngayon nasa 69% na ang pumapasok na boto sa buong Pilipinas. Sana lang maging transparent ang Comelec at ipakita yung breakdown ng mga votes per place or what ever is convenient sa kanila. May point din kahit papano si Erap sa reklamo nya kahit feeling ko dapat masaya na cya sa dami ng botong nakuha nya. Kakapalan na ng mukha kung magrereklamo cya ng pandaraya. By this time siguro, ngumangalngal na si Manny Villar sa sure defeat nya at sa dami ng nawalang pera sa kanya. Hindi na ako magugulat kung mag rereklamo cyang election fraud along with Legarda o kung sabay sila mag suicide. Partly blame Willie Revillame, may kinalaman cya sa pag bagsak mo dahil sa pinagsasasabi at pinaggagagawa nya. Partly lang ha.

Bantayan pa rin natin ang bilangan ng boto sa election hanggang matapos at maki-isa sa pamahalaan ng bagong mamumuno para sa mas magandang Pilipinas.


Yet another history.

Earth Hour 2010

Organizers Aim to Inspire 15 Million Filipinos in 1000 Towns and Cities Nationwide

Mark your calendars, folks: Saturday night, 27 March 2010. When the clock strikes 8:30PM, the world will once more be engulfed in darkness – and a Billion people will celebrate the biggest party in recorded history.

Now in its third year in the country and envisioned as a celebration of climate change solutions, Earth Hour Philippines aims to inspire 15 Million Filipinos in 1000 towns, cities and municipalities to switch off and join in the revelry – in an environmentally-conscious manner, that is. Many of the nation’s most iconic landmarks are expected to dim their lights in the largest call for action on climate change. Cities from around the world, from Europe to Africa, are expected to join in.

Crafted to take a stand against the greatest threat our planet has ever faced, Earth Hour uses the simple action of turning off lights for an hour to deliver a powerful message on the need for climate change solutions. This simple act has captured the hearts and minds of people all over the world, becoming a worldwide phenomenon in 2008 and 2009 – where the Philippines placed first globally in terms of town and city participation.

Earth Hour 2009 inspired over 10 Million Filipinos in 647 cities and municipalities to switch off, saving an estimated 611MWh of electricity – equivalent to shutting down a dozen coal-fired power-plants for an hour. Earth Hour Philippines is a yearly effort of WWF-Philippines, the Department of Energy (DoE), Green Army Network and SWITCH Movement. 2010 partners include Ipanema, Century Tuna, Sustagen, Philips, Motolite, Meralco, SM Malls, Ayala Malls, Bonifacio Global City, GMA-7, ABS-CBN, Philippine Daily Inquirer, Philippine Star, Infinit-1 Communications, FocusMedia Audiovisuals, Leo Burnett, ECC International, Dig It All, Friendster, Discovery Channel and National Geographic.

Sectoral consultations have yielded strong commitments for more sustained efforts on climate change. Among the groups that have pledged commitments are the Archdiocese of Manila, University of the Philippines, Technological University of the Philippines, Manila Doctors College, REACT, Philippine Business for Social Progress, Ortigas Foundation, Girl Scouts of the Philippines, Manila Jaycees, Hotel and Restaurant Association of the Philippines, Philippine Science Centrum, World Youth Alliance, Habitat for Humanity and Gawad Kalinga.

The business community has also pledged participation. Companies which have committed support include the Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Ascott Group, Dusit Thani Manila, Chevron, Abenson, First Gen, Jollibee Foods Corporation, Unilever, Globe, PLDT, PhilBIO and Piandré.

Earth Hour kick-off activities were launched in Davao and Cebu. In Davao City, stakeholders from various sectors led by the Green Alliance for Davao, Mindanao Business Council, Save Davao Gulf Foundation and the Davao City National High School pledged collective support. In Cebu, over 1000 stakeholders gathered at the SM City Cebu to share their collective support for Earth Hour.

The Earth Hour Philippines road show, led by Energy Secretary Angelo T. Reyes, is set to visit Iloilo, Baguio, Ilocos Norte, Laguna, Bicol, Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Tuguegarao and Clark. “Earth Hour is a simple act that emphasizes the importance of adopting energy efficient practices and lifestyles,” says Secretary Reyes. “In this season of political divisiveness, let us all bear in mind that there are fundamental values and aspirations that we all share as Filipinos and as citizens of the world. One of our common causes is the stewardship of our planet through responsible energy practices and other means. So, on March 27, let’s all get together and Vote Earth!"

Since Earth Hour 2009, each of the Earth Hour allies has advocated for the adoption of renewable energy technologies and energy-efficient practices. “Climate change is the biggest threat to the Philippines. We could lose 2000 isles to sea level rise alone – a scenario which could be made worse by dwindling natural resources,” says Earth Hour Philippines National Director Yeb Saño. “Luckily, Filipinos have a unique Bayanihan spirit – a brotherhood of kinship that unites people. Through the message of Earth Hour – that it’s time to think of solutions now – we stand a good chance of adapting to climate change.”

World Vision in the Philippines

World Vision started in the Philippines in 1957 through three orphanages in Visayas and Mindanao. In its almost 50 years of existence in the country, it has sent more than 200,000 poor Filipino children to school. Currently, it assists about 122,000 children in 34 provinces and 22 cities across the country through Child Sponsorship and community-based programs.

Today, 16,000 Filipinos are engaged in giving a life-changing investment to 22,000 children through child sponsorship. For only P20 a day or P600 a month, a child’s life is transformed every time; his/her future is secured.

The regular contributions are pooled together with other resources so the children, families, and communities may enjoy access to education, good health and nutrition; value formation; child rights protection; children’s participation; skills and leadership training; and community development projects.

World Vision believes that the pursuit of its mission requires integrated and holistic commitment to: transformational development that is community-based and sustainable, focused especially on the needs of children; emergency relief that assists people afflicted by conflict or disaster; promotion of justice that seeks to change unjust structures affecting the poor; partnership with churches to contribute to spiritual and social transformation; public awareness that leads to informed understanding, giving, involvement, and prayers; and witness to Jesus Christ by life, deed, word, and sign that encourages people to respond to the Gospel.

World Vision responds to life-threatening situations where its involvement is needed and appropriate. They are responsive in a deeper sense where complex economic and social deprivation calls for long-term and sustainable development.

Aside from its child sponsorship advocacy, World Vision also organizes, implements and actively promotes health initiatives in partnership with international organizations, government agencies, non-government organizations, private agencies and communities.

World Vision is constantly in search of the best ways to help children. Hence, it is actively involved in community development. Its Area Development Programs (ADP) seek to partner with children, their families and their communities in order to rebuild or make improvements in their environment.

World Vision Philippines is headed by the able leadership of Executive Director Elnora Avarientos.

“World Vision in the Philippines continues to be committed with children. In so doing we also want to equip their families and communities. We would like to strengthen our service to children by ensuring that their pains are addressed. We will strengthen our efforts towards economic sustainability, providing opportunities for entrepreneurship and business ventures for communities that we serve so that families can support and resource the needs for their children”.
