Keeping photographs and souvenirs

Keeping photographs and souvenirs

January 16, 2023, Monday, a local holiday in my beloved San Pablo City. I visited my high school batchmate Rose SJ Lanuza in her house at Brgy. San Benito, Victoria, Laguna.  Just like me, she was alone tending to her orchids and looking intently at her house as she is going to Australia and would stay there for quite a while. “I will miss all of you and the good times we had together”, she said referring to our HS Batch 1968.  Then she wiped her face with a towel obviously wiping her sweat that mingled with her tears I supposed. SS

Since we celebrated our batch Golden Anniversary in 2018, we regularly met to share wonderful stories of our family life, of our humble achievements as parents and of what more is in store for us in the near future. There was so much fun and we saw how much time changed between each of us – from sporting long black hair to short gray one; wrinkled skin; bended back; limping walk; blurred vision; dental loss and the maintenance of medicines for hypertension, diabetes, and other illnesses. All these did not deter us from seeing each other regularly until the pandemic stopped us.

Our Class President Norberto Belen who is currently in the USA continues to monitor all of us through social media always making sure that the OIC he appointed in the person of Ruel C. Alimario is doing his best to keep the Batch intact.  With less than thirty persons to “watch” who are all cooperative and disciplined, everything is easy for Ruel although sometimes, he spent his own money just to make sure that any agreed event will push through. 

With regards to the venue for big events like Christmas Party, our Class Valedictorian Legor Mendoza, who is currently the Barangay Chairperson of Brgy. Sta. Rosa in Alaminos, Laguna, allows us to use her farm including all the amenities therein for free.  Every moment we share together wherever we choose to go are treasures no amount of money can buy. These are reflected in all the videos and photographs stored in our mobile phones. Thanks to technology, the memories we created are deposited safely for us to revisit when we feel like it.

Rose SJ Lanuza is aware that technology is evolving and sooner or later, all our videos and photos will be erased or removed to give way to something new so she made a very wise decision. She secured hard copies of chosen photographs from our affair in 2018 up to the present, arranged it according to dates and events and placed it in thick photo albums for posterity. She spent a lot of money for it but it’s worth it, she said. 

True enough, as I turned the pages of the album Rose made, I felt I was traveling down memory lane reminding me of the hardships, challenges, achievements, failures and successes we went through before we reached this point in our lives.  Many of us did not make it this far because they died young so we agreed to spend more time together while we still have the energy and time to sing, dance, eat and travel.  Life is short as we all are aware of so we better make the most out of it like keeping photographs and souvenirs.

Driving communication’s future? Test intelligence

Driving communication’s future? Test intelligence

Twenty-two years ago EDSA Dos or the second people power uprising toppled Philippine President Joseph Estrada over allegations of corruption, with a 13-0 Supreme Court decision supporting the Vice President’s takeover. He would later become a convicted plunderer and get a life sentence, but then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo pardoned him. Estrada’s exiting Malacanang, the seat of power, revealed the importance of information and communications technology (ICT) as cellphone text messaging or SMS kept people abreast of the four-day uprising, with protests being smoothly coordinated.

A mere “coup de text” like that can hardly be effective these days. In fact, it was as early as the Arab Spring or that series of pro-democracy revolts in Tunisia, Morocco, Syria, Libya, Egypt, and Bahrain largely beginning in 2011 or ten years after EDSA Dos. The ICT-in-action during the time was activism on Word Wide Web with extensive use of the relatively new digital social media.

It is good to be forward-looking insofar as the role of ICT in developing countries such as ours is concerned. Fast forward to 2023, however, have we prepared young Filipinos with the critical foundation in the art, science, and practice of social media? Do we have the moral fiber to smoothly drive communication’s future assuming we can? Advancing their ideas on it, Randy David, Ramon Guillermo, Jose Mario De Vega, and a few more professors found out that we do have it, but they also underscored the intellect in order for us to substantially change the paradigm early enough.

De Vega told his colleagues that opening open forums meant for students, teachers, and educational institutions is one small step for us not to be overstepped by our new inventions, the last being the artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Then, test the “intelligence” of AI in a very personal way like what the other two noted professors did.

De Vega (2023) correctly pointed out: “(N)o matter how great, fast, and powerful these latest apps and technologies are, as long as we use our head, maximize our reason, and think for ourselves, there is no way that machines will overwhelm or defeat us. In fact, I will reiterate: it is not us against the machine. How can a mere creature overpower its creator? Machines are not the enemy. Our opponent is the person who does not think. Our enemy is laziness, cowardice, indifference, pride, prejudice, and misplaced arrogance.”

Who wants to see another student who would go on as senate president without knowing what plagiarism is? He did plagiarize while inside the august hall of the upper chamber and did lose twice in the elections, but still had no remorse for not being a role model for would-be leaders of the nation, including the digital native students who intend to finish their courses without being hounded by academic dishonesty issues in the future.

Leaders’ lies told again and again cannot be halted. The ICT and related machinery will soon be there to protect truth-telling and facilitate the deepening of our national character as well as democracies outside of us.

Lucena rice farmers nag level up ng farming techniques

Lucena, City, Quezon. Sumailalim sa seminar ang 30 magsasaka ng palay mula sa Brgy. Mayao Parada, kanina upang i-level up ang kanilang mga diskarte sa pagsasaka bilang bahagi ng “PalaySikatan-Lakbay Palay” joint program ng Department of Agriculture (DA) at ng Philippine Rice Research Institute o PhilRice- Los Baños.

Sa pagsasanay na isinagawa sa ilalim ng Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (RCEF), natutunan ng mga magsasaka kung anong partikular na uri ng palay ang angkop sa kanilang mga lupa at kung paano gamitin ang mga makabagong kagamitan sa pagsasaka at mga diagnostic tool tulad ng Minus-One Element Technique (MOET), na tumutukoy sa nutrient status ng lupa.

Sinabi ni Lucena City OIC Agriculturist Jairalou Merano sa mga magsasaka na umaasa siyang ang programang ito ay higit pang hihikayat sa mga susunod na magsasaka, lalo na ang mga nakababatang henerasyon, na yakapin ang pagsasaka upang matiyak ang food security sa lungsod.

“We all should be open to advancement in farming techniques and equipment like transplanter and mechanized harvester to boost our production. The ideal rice varieties will also help us maximize the planting and harvesting season, ensures food security, even only in rice,” ayon kay Merano.

Sinabi ni Mayao Parada barangay chairperson Evelyn Ramos na dumalo din sa aktibidad, na ang kaalamang ibinahagi ng mga tagapagsanay mula sa pambansang tanggapan ng DA ay dapat ipaabot sa iba pang kooperatiba ng mga magsasaka sa kanilang komunidad.

DOH: Covid-19 wala na sa ‘top cause of death’ sa PH

Wala na sa top ten ang coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) sa listahan ng nangungunang 10 dahilan ng pagkamatay sa Pilipinas.

“This is good news to us. In 2021, talagang nakita natin ang Covid-19 deaths ay naging number three cause of death dito sa ating bansa,” ayon kay Department of Health (DOH) officer-in-charge Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire sa isang media forum kanina sa Pasay City.

Ipinalabas ni Vergeire ang pahayag kasunod ng ulat ng Philippine Statistics Authority na ang pagkamatay dahil sa Covid-19 ay nasa ika-11 na sa buong bansa mula noong Oktubre 2022.

“That signifies na kakaunti na lang ang namamatay dahil sa Covid dito sa ating bansa (that people dying from Covid-19 are fewer nationwide) and we are able to prevent already further deaths because of disease,” ayon sa kanya.

Sa ngayon, ang bansa ay nakapagtala ng mahigit na 4.07 milyong mga kaso ng coronavirus at mahigit na 65,716 ang namatay.

“Bumalik na dun sa dati nating trends kung saan, yung atake sa puso, ‘yung schemic heart disease pa rin ang nauuna, pumapangalawa po ‘yung stroke na tinatawag, ‘yung cerebrovascular diseases, pangatlo po ang mga cancer, pang-apat po ang diabetes at panglima, ang hypertensive diseases,” dagdag niya.

Ayon sa ulat ng PSA, ang iba pang nangungunang sanhi ng pagkamatay sa bansa ay pneumonia, iba pang heart-related diseases, chronic lower respiratory disease, genitourinary system diseases, at respiratory tuberculosis.

Sa kasalukuyan, isinusulong ng DOH ang mga programa sa healthy behaviors and lifestyle upang matulungan ang publiko na maiwasan ang mga maiiwasang sakit tulad ng mga ito na maaaring magdulot ng kamatayan.

Nagbabala ang DSWD laban sa solicitation scam gamit ang mga pekeng permit

Nagbabala ang Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) sa publiko laban sa pagbibigay ng monetary o in-kind na suporta sa mga manloloko at scammer na gumagamit ng mga pekeng solicitation permit na diumano ay para sa kapakinabangan ng mahihirap na sektor.

Ipinalabas ang babala matapos makatanggap ng impormasyon ang DSWD na ang isang grupo, na Development for the Blind Welfare Philippines, Inc, ay nagsasagawa ng public solicitation na nagpapakita ng Certificate of Fundraising na diumano ay inisyu ng DSWD. Ang pekeng sertipiko ay naglalaman ng huwad pirma ng noon ay si DSWD Field Office III Director at ngayon ay Assistant Secretary Marites M. Maristela.

Sinabi ni Assistant Secretary Maristela na ang paggamit ng pekeng Certificate of Fundraising, gamit ang kanyang pangalan, ay labag sa batas at hindi awtorisado. Mariin niyang itinanggi ang pagiging tunay ng sertipiko.

Ikinalulungkot niya na may mga indibidwal at pamilya na nabiktima ng ilegal na aktibidad na ito ng nabanggit na grupo.

Umapela si Assistant Secretary Maristela sa publiko na tulungan ang DSWD na pigilan ang grupong ito na higit pang makapambiktima sa pamamagitan ng pag-report sa pinakamalapit na tanggapan ng DSWD o police station sakaling sila ay lalapitan ng sinumang may dala ng pekeng sertipiko.

Pinayuhan ng DSWD ang publiko na i-verify ang pagiging lehitimo ng anumang solicitation campaign sa agency bago magbigay ng anumang uri ng tulong. Ang pag-iingat na ito ay hindi naglalayong pahinain ang bukas-palad na diwa ng mga Pilipino, ngunit upang matiyak na ang pampublikong solicitation ay hindi sinasamantala ng mga masasamang tao at grupo.

Sumuko ang 2 dating pulis na sangkot sa pagdukot kay Lasco sa San Pablo City

Sumuko sa mga miyembro ng anti-scalawag unit ng Philippine National Police (PNP) ang dalawang dating pulis na sangkot sa pagkidnap sa isang master agent ng online cockfighting sa San Pablo City, Laguna noong sila ay nasa serbisyo pa.

Kinilala ni Brig. Gen. Warren de Leon, hepe ng Integrity Monitoring and Enforcement Group (IMEG), ang dalawang dating pulis na sina Rigel Brosas at Daryl Paghangaan, na nakumbinsing sumuko pagkatapos ng serye ng negosasyon noong Huwebes.

“After (a) series of negotiations, our Team 4A (Calabarzon) have convinced these two former PNP personnel to surrender and stop putting the image of the PNP in a bad light,” ayon kay de Leon sa isang statement.

Ayon sa kanya, sumuko si Brosas sa Rizal Municipal Police Station bandang 2:45 ng hapon. noong Enero 19, habang si Paghangaan ay sumuko makalipas ang limang oras sa himpilan ng pulisya Liliw Municipal Police Station.

Sinampahan ng kasong robbery at kidnapping with serious illegal detention ang dalawa, kasama ang dating patrolman na si Roy Navarrete.

Si Brosas na noon ay patrolman at si Paghangaan na dating staff sergeant, ay kabilang sa mga nagpanggap na ahente ng National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) nang kunin nila si Ricardo Lasco sa kanyang bahay sa Brgy. San Lucas l, San Pablo City sa Laguna noong Agosto 30, 2021.

Inakusahan din sila ng pangungulimbat ng pera at iba pang mahahalagang personal na gamit sa loob ng bahay ni Lasco.

Ang mga naarestong suspek ay dalawa sa tatlong subject ng warrant of arrest na may petsang Enero 17, 2023, na inisyu ni Presiding Judge Luvida Padolina Roque ng Regional Trial Court Branch 29 sa San Pablo City Laguna, para sa krimen ng robbery (na may inirekomendang piyansa itinakda sa PHP400,000 bawat isa); at kidnapping at serious illegal detention (na walang inirekomendang piyansa).

Sinabi ni PNP spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo na si Brosas at Paghangaaan, gayundin si Navarrete, ay tinanggal na sa serbisyo noong nakaraang taon matapos silang maiugnay sa pagkidnap kay Lasco.

“Ngayon na sila ay sumuko ay inaasahan natin na sila ay makikipag-cooperate at ibubunyag nila kung ano man yung nalalaman nila dito sa ginawang pagdukot kay Mr. Lasco,” ayon kay Fajardo sa isang radio interview noong Sabado.

Ang kaso ni Lasco ay isa sa walong kaso na hinahawakan ng Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) Special Investigation Task Group “Sabungero,” para sa karagdagang imbestigasyon ng kaso matapos ang reklamo para sa kidnapping na inihain ng pamilya ng biktima sa San Pablo City ay ma-dismiss sa San Pablo City, Laguna prosecutor’s office.

Itinuturing pa ring “nawawala” si Lasco at sinisiyasat ng CIDG ang mga kaso na kinasasangkutan ng pagkawala ng 34 pang e-sabong enthusiasts mula noong 2020.

Sa ngayon, nagsampa na ng kaso ang CIDG laban sa hindi bababa sa 15 personalidad kaugnay ng mga nawawalang e-sabong aficionados.

Mga eskwelaham ginagawang vax site sa Lucena City

Lucena City, Quezon. Gumamit ang pamahalaang lungsod ng pitong public school bilang vaccination site upang hikayatin ang mas maraming estudyante at residente sa malapit na magpabakuna laban sa coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).

Sinabi ni City Health Officer Dr. Jocelyn Chua noong Biyernes na pinaigting nila ang pagbabakuna noong magsimula ang mga estudyante sa harapang klase.

Gayunman, sinabi ni Chua na dahil sa mababang bilang ng mga dumalo, hinimok ng mga administrador ng paaralan ang kanyang tanggapan na dalhin ang pagbabakuna sa mga paaralan.

Sinabi ni Shierley Pedernal, Nurse II at Covid vaccine coordinator, na lahat ng bakuna (mula sa una hanggang sa pangalawang booster shot) ay makukuha sa mga paaralan at maging ang mga hindi residente ng Lucena ay maaaring magpabakuna.

Ang mga bakuna sa Covid ay ibibigay din sa mga batang limang taong gulang pataas ngunit ang mga menor de edad ay dapat magpakita ng birth certificate at kailangang samahan ng mga magulang o tagapag-alaga.

Isinagawa ang unang araw ng pagbabakuna sa paaralan sa Lucena City National High School (LCNHS) – Silangang Mayao Extension noong Enero 19, at sa Mayao Parada Agricultural High School noong Enero 20.

Ang susunod na araw ng pagbabakuna ay sa Cotta National High School sa Enero 23; Gulang-Gulang National High School – Bocohan Extension sa Enero 24; Gulang-Gulang National High School – Domoit Extension sa Enero 25; LCNHS – Ilayang Dupay Extension sa Enero 26; at Ibabang Talim Integrated High School sa Enero 27.

Ang aktibidad ng pagbabakuna ay mula 8 a.m. hanggang 3 p.m.

Sinabi ni Dr. Chua na tuloy-tuloy ang pagbabakuna sa kanyang opisina at maaaring ipamigay ang mga sertipiko ng pagbabakuna sa mga nangangailangan nito.

Nabakunahan ng Lucena City ang 90 porsyento ng target na bilang nito na 200,000 na residente.
