IMF has been rallying member countries to help beef up its ldquoresources to tackle crises and to promote global economic stability in the inter-ests of all our membersrdquo IMF director Christine Lagarde has once said The Philip-pines joins the 37 countries that have offered money to the fund These countries and their additional contributions include

This article concludes my discussion about the five ethical duties that Cali-fornia attorneys owe to their clients I previously discussed the duty to provide competent representation and the duty of loyalty This article explores the duty of confidentiality the duty to communicate with the client and the duty to keep the clientrsquos funds and property safe and sepa-rate from the attorneyrsquos own assets

Duty of ConfidentialityWhen someone asks me what I do

for a living I tell them that I keep other peoplesrsquo secrets and solve their problems Keeping a clientrsquos secrets is the essence of this duty For attorneys to do their job effectively clients must feel comfortable revealing any information that might help solve their problem As the saying goes ldquoGarbage in garbage outrdquo

The obligation to keep a clientrsquos secrets extends beyond the attorney-client rela-tionship The duty continues to exist after the legal representation has ended and can also exist in some instances even if the client does not hire the attorney in the first place

Duty to CommunicateFor the most part attorneys are able to

uphold the duty of confidentiality without difficulty The duty to communicate however is more challenging Clients are entitled to prompt responses to reasonable inquiries about the status of their case and to be informed of significant develop-ments

In selecting an attorney to represent you you would be well served to ask questions about and observe the attor-neyrsquos practices in this regard Because of the number of cases I handle it would be difficult to field each clientrsquos calls per-sonally I delegate certain tasks to case clerks a paralegal or legal secretary to keep the cases moving forward Never-theless I let my clients know that if they desire to communicate directly with me for any reason all they have to do is ask I make every effort to return their call as soon as possiblemdashideally within two business days

If you find yourself feeling that you can never get a hold of your attorney and that he never returns your phone calls he is possibly breaching this ethical duty

Of course the duty is fulfilled so long as someone in the law office such as a legal secretary or paralegal is providing the desired information Still it is fair to expect the attorney to return phone calls when a client specifically asks to speak to him Therersquos a fine line between delegat-ing onersquos duties and abdicating them altogether

Duty Regarding the Clientrsquos Funds amp Property

This duty requires an attorney to keep full and accurate records of all client funds or property in their possession provide the clients with an account-ing of the funds and property and keep the clientrsquos funds and property separate from the attorneyrsquos For clients who pay attorneys an hourly or flat fee this duty does not typically cause problems At-torneys are most often tempted to breach this duty in cases where they have access to significant sums belonging to someone elsemdasheg personal injury cases and cases involving wills trusts or estates

The best way for clients to protect themselves and to assure that the attorney is abiding by this duty is to insist on an accounting of their assets In personal injury cases this includes paperwork showing how the settlement or judgment is being distributed as well as copies of any receipts or checks If the attorney hesitates in providing this information it could be a red flag that something is amiss

Attorneys are not created equal In hiring one do your homework ask ques-tions and choose wisely

America claimed its independence from England 236 years

ago (July 4 1776) giving birth to this beautiful country that we love and call home Hap-py Birthday America

Like most immigrants I love

what America stands for ndash freedom America has always been a beacon of hope to the world People from all nations leave their homelands every day to fi nd hope and happiness here in the ldquoland of the free and the home of the braverdquo

The freedoms that Americans en-joy and sometimes take for granted could not usually be found where immigrants came from That was true with my home country the Phil-ippines when I left The Philippines is a paradise But during the martial law years under President Marcos greedy and corrupt politicians made the lives of people hell

At the age of 16 when I was in my fourth year in high school at the University of Nueva Caceres I got my fi rst job as a reporter for Naga Times our local paper Then in my freshman year in college the follow-ing year I became a correspondent for the Philippine News Service (PNS) which had its offi ces at the time at the NPC (National Press Club) Bldg in Manila

As a reporter with the Naga Times I covered crime and politics so the Police Department the Philippine Constabulary City Hall and the Governorrsquos Offi ce became my beat As a PNS correspondent I had a general assignment including cover-ing the most powerful couple in the land ndash President Marcos and his beautiful wife Imelda

Our PNS manager then was Romy Abundo (who also left the Philip-pines during the martial law years and came to America) I enjoyed at-tending PNS meetings and National Press Clubrsquo events and I got to travel to other provinces and regions in the Philippines It was a great time a fun time to be with the media Or so I thought

But in September 21 1972 ev-erything changed For me and my beautiful Philippines

Marcos declared martial law claiming that communists were to blame Under martial law Marcos suspended the writ of habeas corpus and assumed extraordinary powers The Philippine Armed Forces be-came the strong arm of the govern-ment All oppositions ndash politicians journalists even ordinary citizens ndash were arrested and thrown into jail or imprisoned inside the military camps

Most were arrested without in-vestigation and without cause No charges were fi led because under a dictatorial regime respect for human rights is non-existent Freedom dis-appeared Corruption was rampant The economy stagnated Many were tortured and jailed indefi nitely Many more just disappeared and were never heard of again

I couldnrsquot just close my eyes to what was happening So I became an anti-government journalist writing and speaking for freedom and justice I have fi nished college

by that time Aside from being a print journalist I also became a broadcast journalist I was one of four (and only lady) talk show hosts for the ldquoApat na Tagulipdanrdquo (The Four Invisibles) a hard-hitting award-winning nightly commentary program with Radio Station DZDR in Naga City

As if these jobs were not enough I also became a faculty member at my alma mater the University of Nueva Caceres teaching English Literature and Political Science Despite my love for my media and teaching jobs and being with my loving parents and siblings ndash staying in the Philip-pines was becoming too dangerous and I feared for my safety

So I had to come to America Five years after my arrival in

this beautiful country I became an American citizen I considered that day as the day I formally entered Americarsquos Golden Door I came looking for freedom and I found it

]As I pledged allegiance to my new country my heart was fi lled with emotion There were over a thousand of us immigrants from sixty-two countries who became citizens that day Our guest speaker was Senator HI Hayakawa of Hawaii who delivered a moving and inspiring speech and an equally moving and inspiring poem ndash ldquoThe New Colossusrdquo

]The poem touched my heart because it expresses faith in America as a refuge for the oppressed The poemrsquos warm words of inspiration and welcome have inspired count-less people from distant shores to come to this country seeking fortune and fame ndash and most of all freedom

The last lines of the poem are engraved on the pedestal of the Stat-ue of Liberty together with the date July 4 1776 Americanrsquos Indepen-dence Day Lady Liberty stands on Ellis Island at the New York Harbor at a towering height of 302 feet On her right hand she holds aloft a torch and on her left hand a book both signifying freedom

Here are the last lines of Emma Lazarusrsquo poem ldquoThe New Colos-susrdquo as immortalized and recited by Lady Liberty herself as she looks at the boundless sea towards the distant shores

ldquoGive me your poor your tiredYour huddled masses yearning to

breathe freeThe wretched refuse of your teem-

ing shoreSend these the homeless tempest-

tosrsquot to me I lift my lamp beside the Golden

Doorrdquo

Each and every time Independence Day comes I utter a prayer of thanks to the Lord for letting me enter Americarsquos Golden Door ndash zenasul-tanahotmailcom

Happy Birthday AmericaMy Kind Of Town

(Pandan is) Eco-Tourism Destination

Almost all of us Filipino Ameri-cans are nostalgic about our home-town in the Philippines Itrsquos hard to be nostalgic when you canrsquot remem-ber anything Well I do remember a multitude about my hometown

At this very moment when Philip-pine Tourism is much promoted the departmentrsquos new slogan ldquoItrsquos more fun in the Philippinesrdquo is going places ldquoMore than 100000 British tourists traveled to the Philippines in 2011mdashan all-time highrdquo the Depart-ment of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said Tourists from the United Kingdom lead the European visitor traffi c to the Philippines and rank 10th overall With the DOT-Manila who promoted the country worldwide through CNN International and and in the UK it is expected to jump-start the governmentrsquos bid to draw 10 million tourist arrivals by 2016

This is not my ad Nostalgia is the right word

The name of my town is Pandan It was used to be one of the impe-cunious towns in the province of Antique located in the island of Panay of the Philippine Archipelago (Visayan region)

The fi rst time I visited my town was in 1978 eighteen years after I left for America There was no elec-tricity The streets were pitch-dark after six pm Now it has changed to a progressive town with places of ecotourismrsquos Paradise Great water supply The system was built through a joint undertaking of the Japan Asian Friendship Society and the Local Government of Pandan The Aklan Electric Cooperative (AKELCO) supplies electricity to the municipality Pandan Beach Resortrsquos computer and wireless Internet Services are in place- the Wonder of Cyberspace cell phones are everywhere

It is about 13 miles from the well renowned white beach Boracay Resort Island Unique about the location of Pandan it is geographi-cally a ldquovoca callerdquo (junction) to travelers tourists and traders to and from Mindoro Aklan Capiz Iloilo and Boracay Island This geographi-cal advantage plays a role in trade commerce industry and tourism

In the 2000 census it had a population of 27647 people in 5534 households with 34 barangay A native of Pandan I am proud of the beauty and naturersquos lavishness the

aura and ambience of a wonderful place for ecotourism There is the creation of the Bugang River Nature Cultural and Adventure Tour a collaborative effort of the Tourism

Offi ce of Pandan with the barangays of Sto Rosario Guia Candari and Zaldivar

Pandan town is a mixture of fl at and hilly terrain The central and northwestern coastal area is level the rest of the northern part from slightly to strongly rolling The Northeastern part is hilly to moun-tainous Innumerable creeks and seven major rivers criss-cross the land surface

Every tourist will be amazed and impressed of Malumpati Spring which leads to Bugang River a favored place I will brag - not like a braggadocio - that I feel proud of the beauty of the Bugang River of my hometown Pandan Antique Philippines This river won in 2006 the Presidentrsquos Award for Environ-ment ldquoGawad Pangulo sa Kapaligi-ranrdquo as the cleanest inland body of water in the Philippines In Latin a paradisiacus rivulet of water in a desert of sand It has been a Gold Winner in the International Green Apple Environment Awards for Environmental Best Practice Local Authorities and Ecotourism category in London The Bugang River with its blue clear tranquil fl ow of water that illuminates purity along the barrio Candari (my ancestry) and the barrio Zaldivar the former gov-ernor and Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines cousin of my dad The people of Pandan Antique are very proud of the cleanest river in the Philippines Add to this is the Malumpati Resort again with a nature made swim-ming pool of fresh spring water with jumping board enjoyed by visitors who fl ock to the Malumpati Health Resort The place have an invigorat-ing and overwhelming freshness the blue waters from turquoise blue to sapphire blue are inviting and the surrounding milieu of lush green trees and other vegetations hugging the edge of the naturersquos swimming pool is a paradise to behold It will energize your soul ndash rouse your senses It is said the pool possesses a lsquohealing phenomenonrsquo Its depth remains a mysterious puzzle to everyone There are headsprings and caves and are absolutely ideal place for those who would like to com-mune with nature and for adventure lovers Trekking is a wondrous thing around Malumpati Spring its height and beauty with endemic species of its fl ora and fauna

For Ecotourism ndash the buzzword term applied to tourism and travel that pays special attention to envi-ronmental concerns Pandan have it This destination is the best in the province of Antique This is

enriching personal experiences and environmental awareness This is the getaway body and soul experi-ence at Malumpati Resort A place to enjoy to relax unwind relieve

tension bring balance to the entire body compliment your health and consequently create calming and healing responses for the body and soul This is to provide a soothing healing vacation care atmosphere on the cool water pool

Herersquos a slogan ldquoldquoItrsquos more fun in the Philippinesrdquo It has gone viral

In 1880 a group of San Diegans organized an agricultural fair to bring

county farmers together to share ideas see who had the best citrus fruit who baked the best pie and who had the fastest horse

After that fi rst fair the county fair was held annually with a few exceptions in various county loca-

tions until 1936 when it moved to its present Del Mar home During World War II the Fair was suspend-ed but has taken place in Del Mar annually since 1946 The San Diego County Fair is the largest annual event in San Di-ego County and the sixth largest fair in the United States drawing more than 14 million visitors annually The 2011 Fair broke an all-time at-tendance record for the third year in a row with a grand total of 1412113 guests

A ldquolook insiderdquo

The 2012 San Diego County Fair may be one of the best ever because of the Our Body The Universe Within exhibit which is new at the Fair This amazing exhibition pres-ents an ldquoOut Of This Worldrdquo look at our inner universe ndash our bodies

The goal is to provide a deeper un-derstanding of the bodyrsquos form and function and a stronger appreciation of the uniqueness of each of our in-dividual bodies Guests will connect on a very personal level with these human artifacts as they use them to better understand their own bod-ies Comments left by visitors have illustrated this personal connection ldquoA beautiful and inspiring tribute to who we arerdquo ldquoA very humbling experiencerdquo

The real thing

The exhibition uses real human specimens that have gone through a process known as polymer impreg-nation to preserve tissue without chance of bacteria Our Body The Universe Within will provide a look at what normally only doctors and scientists are allowed to see

fi rst-hand making this a once-in-a lifetime experience

How important is our sovereignty our honor to usGLIMPSES By Jose Ma Monteli-

bano INQUIRERnet When I read that a Chinese vessel

rammed a Filipino fi shing boat off the shores of Bolinao Pangasinan I felt so enraged Then I wondered why the incident was not near the Scarborough Shoal and decided to wait for more information It did surface a few days later that a HK cargo ship was a pri-mary suspect The latest report says a number of commercial ships did pass by the area of the incident but there is yet no certainty which ship was responsible I was immensely relieved that what I suspected at fi rst as a seri-ous provocative incident related to the contentious issue over Scarborough Shoal may after all be simply an ac-cident at sea not normal but not rare either

At the same time I spent days refl ecting on the moves that Filipi-nos can take should the incident turn out to be as suspected ndash a deliberate provocative bullying act by China Even though I was upset over a wrong conclusion about the incident that emotional reaction did soon give way to the more realistic and practical reality confronting Filipinos today I admit that the general attitude that I perceive over the Scarborough issue falls far short of patriotic require-ments Yes there has been some level of emotional outpouring ndash disgust and anger ndash against China but nowhere near enough to send a clear unmis-takable message to our giant neighbor

that Filipinos will not idly stand by if a part of its territory and the value of its sovereignty are being trampled on

In contrast what is emerging is an ambivalent sentiment that is more in keeping of a people with a weak sense of nation-hood Unity among Filipinos has always been suspect especially when there is no urgent unavoidable external cause It took a few centuries for Filipinos to fi nd relative unity in going against Spain The Scarborough Shoal confl ict has contributed much to awakening some patriotic fervor but it is scattered and mostly shallow so far There will be no war that Filipinos will volunteer massively for on the mere threat of an adverse claim over a reef ndash even if such claim is ridiculously unfair and is an unmitigated act of bullying by a shark over a sardine China will have to do much more before Filipinos in

general from Luzon to Mindanao will feel an outrage capable of turning a peaceful people to become Davids confronting Goliath

What is doubly frustrating about the unfolding confl ict with China is that many of us suspect it has less to do with us than it has to do with the United States Geopolitics is a good enough reason for China to bully the Philippines The dynamics of global and superpower competition between the United States and China have placed us at the moment and for long moments to come in their exact

center What will China have to gain by claiming a Philippine reef to be theirs It may seem utterly incom-prehensible to many until what Scarbor-ough symbol-izes hits home Scarborough is not just a reef it is Philippine territory locat-ed in the China Sea a territory stretching from Scarborough to Sulu represent-ing strategic

sea lanes for trade or for war and a territory ascertained to be full of oil and gas beneath its waters with a volume that astounds Scarborough means security for China It cannot mean anything less for the United States

I surmise that if the United States were not so intimately meshed with Philippine interests meaning that their interests to a large extent in the Asian region are married to Philip-pine territory people resources and politics China would be seriously in partnership with the Philippines for all sorts of joint development ventures to extract oil gas and many other minerals found in Philippine land and seas But China has not been able to have its way for several centuries affl icted as it had been by its own warring factions foreign intervention and the picking up of the pieces when

Mao and communism established fi rm control Today though China has reached superpower status in both trade and armament It stands shoul-der to shoulder with the United States and may be an inch or so taller if its greater population and central control over its people and resources are tak-en into consideration Today China is fl exing its muscles not necessarily to bully the Philippines but to send a message to the United States that Asia belongs to China more than it belongs to the United States It is a necessary message but it is a dangerous one for Filipinos who have become married to America in more ways than one

A weak nation has to surrender some if not most of its most pre-cious rights privileges or demands ndash whether to China or the Philippines Weakness carries a price that is bitter Yet that bitterness can become the trigger of a journey to strength Many times in the history of nations that bitter pill is not only subservience or submission it is also war and death Filipinos cannot forever avoid the bitter part of growing up Discipline and sacrifi ce the bedrock of nation-building are virtues we must develop in ourselves beyond the natural talents we have in abundance Let us use the present issues over Scarborough Shoal and Chinarsquos warning that we should not build classrooms in an island long occupied by Filipinos as motivation to refl ect and resolve these questions I asked in a Facebook Page named ldquoDefending Scarborough De-fending the Philippinesrdquo ndash as follows

ldquoIt is not the wish of Filipinos to wade into confl ict with neighbor Chi-na Our roots are deeply connected and our blood even more But there is a point when all Filipinos must ask ourselves the question ldquoWhat are we without control of our land Who do we become brown Chineserdquo

The answer to this question will lead us to another question ldquoHow im-portant is it for us to be Filipino the race born of our homeland the Philip-pines of which Scarborough is part of Is it important for us to defend our rights over our territory for ourselves and for our race those living now and those who will come after us Is it important enough for us to risk all if not now whenrdquo -- Send comments to Twitter jolomon

As we get older life will become routine unless we decide to make it less boring We have to fi nd some-thing different to do or place to go We donrsquot have to spend a lot of money or travel far from our home Even here in San Diego there are still many places to discover and activities we can do We are many years past our midlife so itrsquos time to make our bucket list and get real

We have to remember that we are young blood no more Like machines it is normal wear and tear on our bodies and mind Gravity has done its toll on some body parts Years of con-suming those tasty food and drinks may have done damage beyond repair There is no coming back and we can only slow it down

When I get up in the morning Irsquom thankful Irsquom still alive so I get ready to start another day It maybe early for some but at 500 AM Irsquom already doing my daily walk No running or jogging but just briskly walking Consistency is part of my self-discipline

It is hard to lose weight when yoursquore older It is also a lot harder to change our bad eating habits Itrsquos funny how we sometimes wished we were back to our skinny days It is diffi cult to quit consuming the tasty food we learned to eat in America

Oftentimes it is not really the food but the amount of food we eat As Filipinos we love our variety of desserts too In this country food is cheaper and abundant than anywhere else We see food advertised every-where and people getting bigger and wider Itrsquos always tempting to eat more food than what we need to live healthy

Maybe itrsquos too late for some of us but we can remind our younger family members to stay in better shape Young children emulate their parents so set a good example

I ad-mire those people who maintain discipline in their healthy habits They could al-

ways fi nd time to exercise regularly and are very conscious of what they eat We can learn from them even if we canrsquot be like them They look better than the rest of us

I always tell myself to eat less but itrsquos hard to resist my wifersquos cooking She loves to cook and I donrsquot but I love to eat My offi ce is two blocks away from our house so Irsquom home for lunch My waistline expanded after she quit her nursing job We even walk three miles every morning except Sundays when we do six miles Still we hardly lose weight but we continue to develop stronger legs and good hearts

Like most people we used to buy home exercise equipments which consequently collected dust and later given to Salvation Army However one day I decided to get a good pair of walking shoes and good socks It is an inexpensive way to exercise and eventually my wife picked up the habit and now she walks faster than me Regular walking has conditioned me to climb the Great Wall of China at Badaling with ease

Well I am still fi guring out how to reduce my waistline and to remain healthy I donrsquot smoke seldom drink alcohol and never liked taking any food supplement I have my physical examination every year before the tax season begins I try to stay cool and live a less stressful life My goal is to grow old smooth-ly and enjoy my golden years

For the rest of us

IMMIGRATION 911 by Atty Susan V Perez

Aliens with legal permanent resident

(LPR) status are commonly known as green card holders For many acquiring this status is a signifi cant event consider-ing the long and oftentimes complicated immigration process Retaining this status is not quite simple Most LPRs have lost the status for breaking laws while others for traveling abroad for extended period This article will discuss the consequences of traveling abroad for LPRs or green card holders and how to avoid losing such status

Under our immigration laws an alien who was previously issued a green card can be refused entry to the United States if he or she fails to present proof of his or her LPR status A returning LPR (other than certain conditional permanent residents and US government employ-ees) shall present a valid unexpired immigrant visa a valid unexpired Form I-551 Alien Registration Receipt Card (if seeking readmission after a temporary absence of less than one year except for certain crewmen of US-registry vessels) a valid unexpired Form I-327 Permit to Reenter the United States (a ldquoreentry per-mitrdquo) or a valid unexpired Form I-571 Refugee Travel Document endorsed to show LPR status

42 8 CFR sect 2111(a) as amended by 62 Fed Reg 10312 10346 (Mar 6 1997)

The required entry document may be waived if there is good cause

43 8 CFR sect 2111(b)(3) as amended by 62 Fed Reg 10312 10347 (March 6 1997) The waiver application is fi led on Form I-193 Application for Waiver of Passport andor Visa with the fee required by 8 CFR sect 1037(b)(1) (pres-ently $9500) unless the alienrsquos Form I-551 was lost or stolen in which case the waiver application is fi led on Form I-90 Application to Replace Alien Registration Receipt Card with the fee required by 8 CFR sect 1037(b)(1) (presently $7500) In the latter instance the Form I-90 serves to apply for both the waiver and the replace-ment card 8 CFR sect 2111(b)(3)

Returning LPRs are required to be inspected by immigration offi cers and may be challenged by an immigration offi cer at the port of entry on any of the following grounds

1 has abandoned or relinquished his or her LPR status

2 has been absent from the United States for a continuous period in excess of 180 days

3 has engaged in illegal activity after having departed the United States

4 has departed from the United States while under legal process seeking his or her removal from the United States

5 has committed certain criminal offenses and has not been granted relief from those offenses or

6 enters or attempts to enter with-out inspection by an immigration offi cer

A returning LPR returning from an absence of less than a year who presents his or her Alien Registration Receipt Card at the port of entry is not assured that he or she will be readmitted to the United States While an Alien Registration Receipt Card satisfi es the requirement of presenting a valid entry document its presentation is not evidence that the LPR is ldquoreturning from a temporary visit abroadrdquo For this reason it is possible that a returning resident might be denied entry if deemed to have abandoned his or her LPR status To show that at the time of departure no abandonment of LPR status was intended it is best to apply for a reentry permit

The LPR must fi le the application for

reentry while the LPR is in the United States It usually takes three months to process a reentry permit application The LPR can travel while the application is pending

47 8 CFR sect 2232(b)(1) All reentry permit applications are fi led on Form I-131 with the fee required by 8 CFR sect 1037(b)(1) (presently $7000) with the INS Nebraska Service Center PO Box 87131 Lincoln NE 68501-7131

Departure after the application is fi led and before a decision is made do not affect the application A reentry permit may be sent to the US embassy or an overseas offi ce of the INS provided such request is indicated in the reentry permit application The reentry permit is usually issued for two years However if the LPR has been absent from the United States for more than four of the fi ve years preceding the application the reentry per-mit may be issued with one year validity only As long as there is genuine reason for the application there should be no reason for USCIS to deny the reentry per-mit One good reason is to fi nish school in the home country

A reentry permit cannot be extended but the LPR can apply for a new one The LPR has to return to the United States to make the new application because

55 Alternatively the LPR may make an application for a ldquoreturning residentrdquo immigrant visa from a US Consulate abroad The expired reentry permit is considered to be ldquoprima facie evidence that at the time of departure the alien did not intend to abandon residencerdquo 9 FAM sect 4222 N22 Even with an expired reentry permit though the applicant still bears the burden of proving he or she did not abandon the intention to return to the United States after the time of departure while residing abroad 9 FAM sect 4222 N11(3)

an applicant for a reentry permit must be physically present in the United States Until the application is fi led with USCIS the LPR must not leave the country It is safe for the applicant to wait for USCIS to accept the application and fee before leaving the United States The applicant can either wait for the receipt notice from USCIS or check with the bank if the check for the fi ling fee has been cashed

Brenda Ayon Verduzco President of ROTARACT Club University of Irvine

Thank you Vice Chancellor Par-ham Irsquod also like to thank Chancellor Drake Dean Dosher Associate Dean Petracca and members of the faculty of the School of Social Sciences To Ramon Munoz Dr Gilmore and Dr Brown thank you for being here today Irsquod like to welcome you fellow gradu-ates friends and family We are here today to celebrate that we are graduat-ing anteaters (clap) I have to ask what does it mean to be an anteater Does it mean having boba at our disposal on our way to class taking a siesta in Al-drich Park or maybe hoping Parking doesnrsquot realize that your permit is from last week Raise your hands and join me (pause) because being an anteater means believing in the power ldquozotrdquo Although other mascots might not be threatened by us at all anteaters are different I am different We are differ-ent Anteaters fi nd meaningful ways of growing as students on campus as civic leaders in our community and we will become powerful contenders in any career fi eld

And what does graduation mean Well to a very large extent it means an opportunity for us to develop our careers graduation means having the ability to pursue our personal goals while also having the means to facili-tate opportunities for the rest of our communities It grants us the privilege of not letting our careers defi ne us Today we celebrate that One of the unique aspects of UCI is the number of students who are immigrants or the children of immigrants Whether our parents are PhDs or refugees many of us share stories of adapting to a new country being fi rst-generation students or coming from low-income families and all of us can remember the anxiety of learning to fi t in to a new place a new language or a new campus Specifi cally fi guring out which is the right shuttle that will take you home I came to this country when I was three years old I was

undocumented I would never have been able to fulfi ll my dream of going to college were it not for generous private benefactors Being at UCI afforded me the opportunity to belong somewhere simply reaching the status of a ldquocollege studentrdquo was powerful for me Becoming an anteater would mean more as the years went by

We have spent our time at UCI in what we can identify as sub-commu-nities of about 600 different clubs and organizations Regardless of our dif-ferent causes we are all really working towards the goal of making society better Every graduate here represents an opportunity for that There lies po-tential in every chair that is occupied today we celebrate that We are social scientists and we know that so long as the opportunity to nurture healthier communities is present we can alter the reality of our society

As president of Rotaract Club I have facilitated and supported various ser-vice projects I know many anteaters here who have done the same because we believe in the power of ldquozotrdquo Thatrsquos the confi dence to build the bridges that bring society to a better place We have to connect the links be-tween all of us here today Donrsquot lose sight of that opportunity to effectuate change through your career whichever path you choose

As students from different back-grounds we must remember that we are entitled that same freedom of opportunity We have to celebrate that I am a product of an immigrant family of nine who always knew too little and needed much more I have for some reason been fortunate enough to be amongst the few undocumented immigrant students who now graduate under a legal status I have witnessed opportunity open doors and so have you We are potential waiting to be realized

A Commencement Speech Delivered by a Non-documented American Before the Class of 2012 College of Social Sciences UCI

WASHINGTON--The Asian American Center for Advancing Justice (Advancing Justice) is deeply concerned about how fi ndings from a recent study by the Pew Research Center have been used to portray Asian Americans While the report ldquoThe Rise of Asian Americansrdquo should be applauded for the attention it provides an often misunderstood racial group its narrative largely ignores the tremendous social and economic diversity within Asian American communities Failure to fully recognize the challenges many Asian Americans face means that the educational economic and social service needs of Americarsquos fastest growing racial group will not be fully understood or addressed by policy makers

Authors of ldquoThe Rise of Asian Americansrdquo as well as many mainstream media outlets covering its release paint a picture of Asian Americans as a model minority having the highest income and

Pew Research Center Study Ignores Social and Economic Diversity within Asian American Groups

educational attainment among racial groups These portrayals are overly simplistic

The Pew Research Center report holds up Asian Americans as the most educated Yet data from the US Census Bureau show that Asian American adults are less likely than Whites to have fi nished high school and that Chinese and Vietnamese Americans are among seven Asian American ethnic groups to have below average attainment of a high school diploma These same data show that Southeast Asians includ-ing Hmong Cambodian Laotian and Vietnamese Americans are among those least likely to hold a college degree

The Pew Research Center report also notes that Asian Americans have the highest median household income Yet household income is a poor measure when applied to immigrant communities which feature a greater number of workers per household and include a greater

number of persons who rely on the income those workers produce Census Bureau data on per capita income indicate that Asian American incomes fall below those of Whites nationwide Per capita income data by ethnic group further show that Hmong Cambodian Laotian and Bangladeshi Americans have incomes more similar to those of African Americans and Latinos than Whites

Findings such as these are included in Advancing Justicersquos recent report ldquoA Community of Contrasts Asian Americans in the United States 2011rdquo which documents the social and economic diversity within Asian American communities across a va-riety of indicators It provides valu-able portraits of the most disadvan-taged Asian American ethnic groups nearly all missing from the Pew Re-search Center report ldquoA Community of Contrastsrdquo can be found online at wwwadvancingjusticeorg

Brenda Ayoacuten Verduzco social sciences commencement speaker found the motivation to suc-ceed among the farm fi elds of the Coachella Valley

Brenda Ayoacuten Verduzco grew up in the Coachella Valley the daughter of Mexican immigrant farm work-ers The sixth of seven children she remembers having to fi nd innovative ways to help her low-income family make ends meet

ldquoMy brothers and sisters and I would often help our mother sell baked goods around the neighbor-hood or at church servicesrdquo she says ldquoI grew up learning how to be resourceful and more importantly (Continued on page 9)

learning to share all that was given to merdquo

The experience motivated the out-going Verduzco to push herself through school where she worked hard to set a positive example for a large immigrant community of fi rst-generation students She graduated valedictorian of her high school class and delivered the commence-ment address an honor shersquoll be repeating this year as one of two social sciences speakers at the 2012 commencement ceremonies

As the fi rst member of her family to graduate from a university the whole experience is a bit surreal she says

Speaking at my high school graduation meant so much to me and validated mine and my familyrsquos sac-rifi ces she says ldquoIm honored that I will get an opportunity to represent my graduating college class at com-mencement this yearrdquo

While at UCI Verduzco majored in political science and sociology earning honors in both Among her

biggest accomplishments she counts having completed her honors thesis on the social mobility of Mexican immigrants compared to other immi-grant groups She presented her fi nd-ings at the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) symposium last May

ldquoResearch was a concept very new to me I didnrsquot know where to begin or if I would produce something academically meaningfulrdquo she says ldquoIt was a daunting yet rewarding experience through which I learned how to do research as an undergrad student while also nurturing valuable relationships with my mentorsrdquo

Her work at UCI has been funded through a four-year Young amp Margu-leas sponsorship and Coachella Val-ley Pathways to Success and Quarry at La Quinta scholarships She was also awarded the UCI Carole Creek Bailey School of Social Sciences Undergraduate Award for Excellence in Sociology and a SAGE scholar-ship both in 2011

In addition to her work in the

classroom Verduzco has been active in community service including work through UCIrsquos Rotaract Club an affi liate of Rotary International which focuses on humanitarian work As secretary last year and serving this year as president shersquos facilitated and supported projects such as Relay for Life PassionFest Christmas Train Project in Tecate Mexico and Special Olympics vol-unteer events

One of her best UCI memories happened this year while working on the clubrsquos community service project With Disney and Kaboom UCI Rotaract built a new playground in the heart of Anaheim from the ground up

ldquoIt was incredible that we began with an empty sandlot and in one day with the help of about 100 vol-unteers we built a new playground for children to enjoy in their neigh-borhoodrdquo she says ldquoFrom mixing

Phil - Am Law 101

Take It From My Barber (For June 29 2012)

It would be remiss of me to write an article about battling poverty in the Philippines without mentioning two groups in the Washington DC area that are deeply involved AN-COP When there was a major natural calamity engulfing the Phil-ippines the Washington Post called me and followed up with an email It was interested in interviewing some-one other than a Philippine Embassy official about groups helping their countrymen

I immediately told the Post to call

Nap Curameng who is one of the leaders of CFC ANCOP ndash a group that has been in the forefront of helping Filipino victims of calami-ties I understand that they connect-ed ANCOP is actually more than just responding to calls for emergen-cies but all year-round it is known for ldquoanswering the Cry of the Poorrdquo

The focus of their programs had been the poor child his family and his community They believe that ldquoeducating the poor child and his family would restore hope and faith towards transformation of the whole community

Education can likewise give poor families a chance to break out of the cycle of poverty and provide equal opportunity in order for all to enjoy the bounty and blessings provided by Godrdquo They also have health and nutrition and community develop-ment programs geared towards transforming child family and whole communities

Nap Curameng is an effective management leader We worked together during the successful politi-cal campaigns of David Valderrama the first Filipino elected to the State Assembly in mainland USA Nap was in fact the campaign manager and I was Daversquos political strategist and adviser

FEED THE HUNGRY INC Its leader is Tessie Calderon

Alarcon Its mission is ldquoto uplift the spirit and well-being of the poorest of the poor the abused and the deso-late through feeding community and economic development gift giving educational scholarships and class-room building and calamity relief and emergency medical assistance programsrdquo Tessie is one of the most admired Filipinos in our area Hers is a life of commitment and dedica-tion Backed by her loving husband Pablito Alarcon she led and inspired others to join her in making Feed the Hungry Inc an internationally recognized organization Recipi-ent of the Presidential Award called Lingkapil (Lingkod sa Kapwa Pili-pino) in 1998 she also received the Dakila Award of Washington DC for outstanding community leader-ship the Chicago Hall of Fame Award World BankIMF Filipino Association Outstanding Member Award and was even chosen as one of the Twenty Outstanding Filipinos Abroad (TOFA)

The achievements of Feed The Hungry Inc and her inspiring lead-ership merited a Headline and Front Page coverage by the most read Asian paper in San Diego Califor-nia The Asian Journal USA

HOMETOWN-FOCUSED OR-GANIZATIONS

Outside of the previously men-tioned organizations I firmly believe there exist abroad several groups that have been proven to be effective in assisting their countrymen Yet

they have the capability of leverag-ing both their political and economic powers to win any battle including the reduction if not eradication of poverty I am referring to the associations formed according to their hometowns Many of them have been in existence for several years helping their town mates in the Philippines without fanfare or public recognition

The political impact of these groups in their respective towns have been silently recognized but not maximized Their economic im-pact is felt but not leveraged Also belonging to these associations

are the public high school alumni groups formed according to when they graduated They usually have projects benefiting their high school and town

As I have discussed in an earlier article under the Constitution the enabling law on Peoplersquos Initiative the Local Autonomy Act and the Administrative Code the people are empowered to amend the Constitu-tion make repeal and amend Na-tional laws Provincial Resolutions City and Municipal Ordinances and Barangay Resolutions through peoplersquos initiative Working with their relatives friends classmates and neighbors these hometown associations can virtually pass laws that would focus on poverty allevia-tion

A major portion of the ldquoporkrdquo or local development fund could be allocated to match double triple or even quadruple the funds raised by the hometown organizations abroad The leverage could extend not just with the government but with the local Church the Gawad Kalinga ANCOP Feed the Hungry Inc and other similar groups

If all these associations networked into a national federation you would have a Philippines composed of local instrumentalities with real political and economic powers freed from the culture of corruption and impunity engulfing Philippine soci-ety today

This is real People Empower-ment which could be utilized both in the Philippines and in the United States I suggested this to a friend who is active with a group called NaFFAA (National Federation of Filipino American Associations) The group is supposed to be a na-tional organization Majority of the Filipinos and Filipino associations are located in Southern California

But the sad reality is that NaF-FAA has virtually ZERO presence there This realization however brings hope Perhaps NaFFAA under a new leadership or a new national organization under a new name could aim to form an effective and efficient network of associa-tions that include these hometown organizations

Any effort towards this end should have the cooperation and encour-agement of the Philippine Embassy and all the consulates Somebody once said ldquoOrganization determines everythingrdquo Another one also said ldquoThere go my people and I must fol-low them for I am their leaderrdquo In this Battle Against Poverty we need efficient and effective Organization Leadership Planning and Con-trol Next and Final article Individual Commitment and ldquoLittle Miraclesrdquo (Technology) The Future Is Better Than You Think

Phil-Am Law 101 by Atty Rogelio Karagdag Jr Member State Bar of California amp Integrated Bar of the Philippines

For several years now the immigrant community has been waiting for Congress to pass the Dream Act which will legalize the status of undocumented aliens who came into the country as children and strived hard to be potentially useful citizens of the United States These young deserving aliens are called the Dreamers because they have dedicated their young lives into improving themselves and achieving the American Dream But due either to the hard-line stance or apathy on the part of certain congress-men the bill has remained a dream

Last week President Obama showed how impatient he was at Congressrsquos failure to pass the Dream Act Since the President does not have

the power to make laws he did the next best thing for the Dreamers He instructed Sec Janet Napolitano of the Department of Homeland Security

(DHS) to apply prosecutorial discre-tion in cases involving Dreamers As you know the DHS has under its wings the USCIS (which approves immigrant petitions) the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (which files removal cases against aliens) and the Customs and Border Pro-tection (which guards our borders against illegal entry of persons and goods)

For some time now we have heard the Obama administration talk about prosecutorial discretion But what ex-actly is it Well as the term implies the government may choose whether or not to enforce the law Specifically applied to illegal aliens or legal aliens who broke the laws it means that the government may choose to remove (deport) the alien or not The ratio-nale behind this is that the govern-ment will be able to more efficiently

enforce the law if it can focus its limited resources to more serious offenders

We are still waiting for more details on how the DHS will implement the latest Obama di-rective but we can have an idea based on the Memorandum is-sued by Sec Napolitano on June 15 2012 The title of the Memo is instructional -- ldquoExercising Prosecutorial Discretion with

Respect to Individuals Who Came to the United States as Childrenrdquo

Under the Memo the following are eligible for deferred action

those who came to the United States under the age of sixteen

those who have continuously resided in the United States for a least five years and are currently present in the United States

those who are currently in school have graduated from high school have obtained a general education development certificate or are honor-ably discharged veteran of the Coast Guard or Armed Forces of the United States

those who have not been convicted of a felony offense a significant misdemeanor offense multiple misde-meanor offenses or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety and

must be thirty years old or younger as of June 15 2012

According to Sec Napolitano the DHS will treat each application on a case to case basis There is no guaran-tee of approval even if the applicant seems to possess all the qualifications

The deferred action offer will be available to those in removal (depor-tation) proceedings those with final removal (deportation) orders as well as to those who apply affirmatively ie they do not have any pending im-migration cases but want to come out and seek relief

It is important to take note that the prosecutorial discretion for Dream-ers sbquoldquoconfers no substantive right immigration status or pathway to citizenshiprdquo (Napolitano Memo) An undocumented alien remains to be without lawful status even if granted prosecutorial discretion All it does is to defer action against the quali-fied alien and to allow him or her to work legally during the period of deferment The plan is to defer action for at least two years perhaps while waiting for Congress to finally pass the Dream Act

DHS is not yet accepting applica-tions for this action In fact we do not know yet what form to use to apply for deferred action the amount of filing fees where to file it the sup-porting documents required etc In fact for those not under removal pro-ceedings we are not sure if deferred action will be a smart move to take considering that as already stated is it not a way to legalization of status It will really depend on the particular facts of each case

Unfortunately this new immigration policy may open the door for fraud and deception by some unscrupulous individuals preying on the vulnerabil-ity of undocumented aliens particu-larly parents who would do every-thing for their children We therefore advise our readers to consult only with licensed immigration attorneys to assess if this latest administration policy if for them

Jim amp PJ Jonas and their 8 young children are living the American Dream turning their Indiana goat farm into a thriving business Goat Milk Stufftrade market-ing home-made luxurious-ly-creamy chemical-free goat milk soaps as well as GMStrade lotions lip balms and bath bombs

Goat Milk Stufftrade products are available online at wwwGoat-MilkStuffcom and in select retail stores around the United States

PJ was inspired to start soapmak-ing after being concerned about the chemical ingredients in most shampoos and bath products used by the children With help of Jim and the children she developed a business that started with goat milk soap and now provides natu-ral body care products to custom-ers across America and around the world

ABC-TV affi liate WHAS-TVrsquos recent report about the Jonas fam-ilyrsquos Goat Milk Stuff success can be seen online at wwwtinyurlcom2af38e2

ldquoWith goats in the barn an idea in our heads and lots of hard work what started out as one batch of goat milk soap has turned into a full range of soaps and related GMS body care products that are natural and good for your skinrdquo said PJ (Patricia)

ldquoGoat Milk Stufftrade is an ex-ample of the Ameri-can entre-pre-neurial spirit in action We are teach-ing the children to be young entrepreneurs as their work and their assistance in the business directly impacts the success of our familyrdquo said Jim Jonas

With Jim and PJ running things the young Jonas sisters of Brett Indi-go and Jade spend some of their day bagging the goat milk soap while the Jonas brothers of Colter Emery Fletcher Greyden and Hewitt milk and feed the goats Aged 3 to 13 (no twins) the children love playing with and tending to the goats particularly newborn goat kids Supervised by Mom and Dad the childrenrsquos chores and real-world business experiences complement their homeschool educa-tion

ldquoThe entire family working together leads to fun times that are also educationally enrichingrdquo said Jim a former middle school science teacher He and PJ met during their undergraduate years at the Univer-sity of Virginia where he studied economics and teaching and she studied engineering Jim added ldquoThe Jonas-8 as we sometimes refer to our children participate in Goat Milk Stufftrade activities as their ages and abilities allowrdquo

PJ said ldquoGoat Milk Stufftrade prod-ucts are safe and excellent for skin care leaving skin moisturized and

feeling smooth We do not use chem-ical ingredients frequently found in commercial products chemicals may dry your skin with continued userdquo

He added ldquoWe use only natural fats and oils never dyes or artifi cial colors and

only add high quality essential or fragrance oils to fur-ther enhance the luxurious feel and bubbly lather of GMS products For

washing shaving scrubbing dirt or exfoliating Goat Milk Stuff products offer moments of luxury at value pricesrdquo

ldquoGoats produce milk that is high in skin nour- ishing Vitamin A and

lactic acid Each 5-ounce bar of our goat milk soap contains one ounce of goat milk and is handcrafted

with our familyrsquos

love and care Our products allow people to pamper themselves in an environmentally conscious yet cost effective wayrdquo she added

ldquoGoat Milk Stuffrsquos popular array of goat milk soaps includes richly fragrant Oatmeal Milk amp Honey sweet smelling Black Raspberry sparkling Mimosa Mandarin refresh-ing Clean Cotton enticing Pink Sugary woodsy Evergreen homey Honeysuckle and many others from Lavender Vanilla and Lemongrass to Peppermint and unscented Purityrdquo said PJ

Who is responsible for protecting a business against cybercrime

Jacques Erasmus Webroot | ITPro-Portalcom 6162012 -- Emerging trends within the working environ-ment have many organisations clambering for new ways to ensure that they are safeguarded against any malicious attacks The introduction of smart phones tablets and cloud computing have opened up new av-enues for cyber criminals to infi ltrate an organisationrsquos IT system leaving many companies vulnerable

Cyber crime has become ex-tremely sophisticated over the past decade 10 years ago cyber criminals would have required sophisticated technical capabilities to code their own malware and distribute it In 2012 hackers can access all the tools that they require online through a managed service consequently allowing non-technical individuals an easy entry point into the world of cyber crime

This rise in malware coupled with the proliferation of technology in the working environment signifi es the need to rethink security strategies so their business is safeguarded against attack Even though many business-es agree with this sentiment there

Scriptures First Reading Wisdom 1 13-15 2 23-24 Wisdom literature like the Book of Job deals with the individualrsquos dilemma toward such themes as suffering of the in-nocent in contrast with the prosper-ity of the wicked life in opposition to death and justice and oppres-sion Todayrsquos passage takes up the peoplersquos cause Is God to blame for the peoplersquos unfortunate experience of tyranny defeat and death For the Wisdom writer death is an unwel-come intruder into the world and is the work of the devil (the serpent in the Book of Genesis) God ldquofashioned all things that they might have beingrdquo or life The God of life created man not to die but to have the abundance of life Unfortunately there is death the work of the evil force However wisely considered the fragility of life can lead us to the Lord of everlasting life Second Reading 2 Corinthians 8 7-9 13-15 Jesus redefi nes the dif-ferences between poverty and wealth between those who have more and those who have less In Jesus the new wisdom becomes visible and turns the world upside down Jesusrsquo gauge of wealth and poverty completely differs from that of the world The truly wise and rich are those who follow the example of Jesus and help overcome evil forces and poverty by sharing

with the less fortunate their resources An economically poor man is rich if he follows the advice of Jesus whereas a fi nancially rich man is poor if he turns away from God

Gospel Mark 5 21-43 The story of the woman with the hemorrhage is interwoven into the narrative of the raising of Jairusrsquo daughter This insertion is intended to drive home the message that our God is the Lord of life and death that is the work of the devil is overcome by faith in Jesus Christ

Refl ections One of the bases of cure in Western societies is epide-miological or the analysis of how disease is spread and prevented According to the modern medical concept cure is possible when the root cause of the disease is eradicated controlled or prevented from doing further injury to the sick To affect a cure Western societies rely more on the expertise of professionals such as medical doctors nurses and other health providers On the other hand the Mediterranean culture perceives illness and sickness as essential features of human existence over which human beings have no control To affect a healing the Mediterranean world invokes a higher power usually the intervention of the divine Those who were able to heal the sick are perceived as having been empowered by such Superior Being In touch-ing the hem of Jesusrsquo garments the woman who had suffered hemorrhage for years professed such faith in Godrsquos healing power The difference between the Western and Mediterra-nean perspective on affecting cure or healing explains the cynical attitude of some of todayrsquos medical practitio-ners regarding the power of faith and

ldquoMestizordquo and Brown Complexion

prayers not only in the speedy recov-ery of patients but also in healing their medical problems Todayrsquos Gos-pel passage shows that in spite of the ldquoprofessional expertiserdquo of doctors (in the case of the woman with the hem-orrhage) and paid mourners (at Jairusrsquo house) faith works miracles Modern-day physicians acknowledge that faith has a healing impact in the treatment of illnesses and disease A 1996 sur-vey of Time magazine found that 82 of the respondents attributed healing to prayer Todayrsquos Gospel reveals also how the ancient Mediterranean world treats women and children Women worshiped at the outer courts of the Temple and they received their status in relation to males mostly their fathers or husbands Children in pagan Rome on the other hand are at the mercy of their fa-ther Any undesir-able and unwel-come child can be sum-marily thrown out of the house to die under the elements or be killed or aborted at the fatherrsquos discretion Jesusrsquo healing of those considered ritually ldquoun-cleanrdquo the menstruating woman and the dead girl shows that his ministry is of inclusion rather than one of exclusion transformation rather than one of degradation life rather than one of death

Considered not only as a second class-citizen but also excluded from the community because she is unclean the hemorrhaging woman suffers doubly By healing this woman Jesus did not just restore her back into the community but he also did give her the opportunity to experience a new way of life the risen life This transformed or risen life is made more evident with the raising of Jairusrsquo daughter The presence at Jairusrsquo house of the three witnesses to Christrsquos Transfi guration Peter James and John foretells an important event the resurrection of Jesus from the dead to which the three apostles would also be among the fi rst

witnesses The raising of the dead girl back to life shows that though death reveals the evil forces that are at work in the world yet God through Jesus has nothing but full and abundant life for all Death is part of earthly life yet God who has power over it is the Lord of life

The basis for purity and ldquoun-cleanlinessrdquo differs from society to society Sometimes this basis has something to do with racial superior-ity and inferiority Take for instance the way some Filipinos consider white as superior over brown or view black complexion as the color of an inferior unclean and ordinary farm or construction worker A person of fair complexion or lsquomestizorsquo is beautiful ravishing dazzling and has a better

chance of becoming a teen idol Philippine media and advertise-ments contribute to this colonial denigra-tion and conde-scension of what

is not a ldquomestizordquo The West in contrast considers brown as stunning In the United States it was unlawful for whites to marry non-whites until 1967 when the Supreme Court over-turned all statesrsquo anti-miscegenation law

No matter what is the basis of onersquos ldquouncleanlinessrdquo physically culturally or economically Christ showed us that our attitude should be one of transformation not degra-dation of the ldquouncleanrdquo and their inclusion rather than exclusion from the ldquopure and cleanrdquo Christ calls everyone to a holy life because in him there is neither female nor male neither sinner nor saint God lets the sun shine on the unclean and clean on the brown and ldquomestizordquo

My child when My children say the words ldquowe believe in one God the Father Almighty they must truly live by what is commanded by My Father You cannot say you believe if you are not striving to be obedient to the Commandments and live the Gospel message

My children you have much to inherit by following Me but woe to the foolish one that fi nds their paradise in the ways of the world It is a world that is washing away it is a world that is burying itself from the truth and without truth you have nothing for I am Jesus I am the truth

My children I call you to a time of examining your conscience a time where you can turn off the noise around you and spend time before Me in My Most Blessed Sacrament I desire for you to speak to Me and I to you In order for you to come to know Me you must come and visit with Me often for I already know you

You are each a perfection of My

creation A perfection of the divine plan and the only thing that keeps from allowing the divine plan to be executed through you is pride and a lack of humility My children the hour has come for you to come to Me and take refuge in My Most Sacred Heart for what is about to be executed upon the world by the just hand of My Father for I am Jesus and My mercy and justice will pre-vail -- wwwwordsfromjesuscom

Nakausap pala ni Ms Cristy Fer-min ang dating Movie Queen na si Amalia Fuentes at isa sa mga napag-usapan nila ay tungkol sa reklamo ni Ruffa Gutierrez na binastos raw siya ng sarili niyang show mismo pa sa celebration ng kanyang birthday sa ldquoPaparazzirdquo

Pero ayon daw kay Amalia wala raw siyang nakitang pambabastos na ginawa ng nasabing showYun lang ang tanging comment na ibinihagi ni Cristy FerminAng nakakabigla nag-karoon ng communication ngayon sina Ate Cristy at Amalia Fuentes na tiyak ikasusuya ng ina ni Ruffa Gutierrez na si Annabelle Rama

Last Sunday nangyari ang nasabing reklamo ni Ruffa G sa ldquoPaparazzirdquo ng channel 5 may tinanong kasi si Mr Fu kung sino ang mas malaki sa tatlo nina Aga Mulach Zoren Legaspi at Robin Padilla medyo bitin ang tanong na ang karugtong ay ibinulong kay RuffardquoBulong ng Paladrdquo ang portion na yun kaso hindi sinagot ni Ruffa ang tanong ni Mr Fu

After ng show na lang nalaman nang mag-tweet si Ruffa na nabastos raw siya sa kanyang show na ldquoPa-parazzirdquoNarito ang complete tweets ni Ruffa G

ldquoWala kayong kwenta at walang kayong respeto hindi nyo ba man lang naisip na nanonood ang mga anak kordquo ldquoThe Buzz would never do this to me EVERFrom this day on I will no longer be part of PaparazzirdquordquoI will never tolerate dis-

respect I refuse to be part of trashy reportingrdquo

Siempre isa sa mga nasaktan sa mga tweets ni Ruffa at pati tweets ng kanyang nanay na si Annabelle ay si Cristy Fermin na isa sa mga kasa-mahan niya sa nasabing showNanini-wala raw si Ms Fermin na walang pamba-bastos na nangyariok naman daw sila ni Ruffa hanggang sa matapos ang show Hindi raw niya na-kitaan ito na sumama ang loob dahil sa mga bulong sa kanya na tanong

Ang ma-sakit raw na sabihan na trashy report-ing kung saan kasama si Ruffa sa na-sabing show ayon kay Ms FerminAlam naman daw ni Ruffa kung anu ang itatanong sa kanya ni Mr Fu before mag-umpisa ang nasabing ldquoBulong

ng Paladrdquo portion ayon kay CristyKaya takang taka siya at kung bakit ganon na lang ang naging mga

tweets ni RuffaYes resign na ang anak ni Annabelle sa naturang show pero hindi raw sa channel 5Tuloy pa rin si Ruffa sa Kapatid Network sa ibang mga show at hindi na sa ldquoPaparazzirdquo

Samantala dinenay naman ni Ruffa na alam na niya kung anu ang itatanong sa kanya sa nasabing programa Hindi raw niya alam lsquoyun hindi raw totoo ang sinasabi ni Cristy tungkol ditoHabang binalaan naman daw ni Annabelle Rama itong si Cristy Fermin na huwag magsalita pa tungkol sa issueManahimik na lang daw si Ms Ferminor else mag-kakaroon ng part II ang awayan nila ayon daw kay Annabelle Rama

BUMUBUTI NA RAW SI DOL-PHY Bumubuti na raw si Dolphy but still nasa critical condition pa rin siyapero unlike before na walang kamalaymalay ito

Nakakausap na raw nila ito pero hindi pa nakakapagsalita ito dahil sa respirator na nakakabit sa leeg nitokilaypagpisil sa kamay pagngiti at paggalaw ng batok ang nagiging reaction ngayon ni Dolphy kapag nakakausap nila ito

Wala na siyang Pneumonia gu-maling na pero kailangan pa niya ng blood transfusion dahil bumababa ang kanyang platelet countOkey na rin ang kanyang mga vital organs pero mahina pa rin ang katawan niya dahil sa dialysis

Pero sabi nga ni Eric Quizon kailangan pa rin ng dasal para lalong bumuti ang kalagayan ng kanyang amaBawal muna ang maraming bisita para maiwasan na mahawa ito ng ibang sakit kagaya ng Pneumonia

Basta ipagdarasal namin ang mabilis na recovery ng Comedy king na si Dolphy

P-Noy seeing someone new

say insidersABS CBN News | MANILA Phil-

ippines 692012 - President Aquino has been seeing someone new in the past few weeks Malacantildeang sources said

The sources refused to disclose the identity of the new apple of the Pres-identrsquos eye to protect her privacy

The President was spotted with his ldquodaterdquo at the Bonifacio High Street Central in Taguig City where they entered some shops and dined in a steak house on Thursday night

On Twitter the ldquosightingrdquo of the President and his date along with Transportation and Communications Secretary Manuel Roxas II was immediately fl ashed but the person who tweeted could not identify the woman with Aquino

Roxas confi rmed he was there at the restaurant on Thursday night but refused to talk about the President and his date

One of the sources who saw the woman described her as fair-skinned and pretty

Other sources said they would not give the name of the woman to give her and the President time to get to know each other

ldquoWe donrsquot know the name Baka maudlot (It might fall through)rdquo they said

They only laughed when asked if the President was indeed seeing a 29-year-old banker or a third-year college student

The sources said the President was not really inclined to get married until after his term ends in 2016

They said Aquino had gone out a few times on dates last month after he stopped seeing TV host Grace Lee

Immigration issues still have to really come up center during this campaign cycle President Obama whose 2008 election victory got a big boost from Latino and Asian American voters has renewed his promise for immigration reforms But frustration is growing as minori-ties see the Presidentrsquos diffi culty to sway Congress to move on those reforms including the DREAM Act

Presumptive Republican presi-dential candidate Mitt Romney does not appear to have clear policies on addressing the need for immigration reforms

He supports self-deportations and has appeased the most conservative elements of the GOP prompting some like former Florida Gov Jeb Bush to suggest Romney help cool down the Republican rhetoric on immigrations

Vargas says immigration has become a ldquo3rd rail issuerdquo in Wash-ington DC because it deals with race and class and has become more controversial than the Obama health-care law

But problems will fester and only worsen for as long as the nationrsquos leaders refuse or are unable to tackle immigration reforms activists warn

GOD OF THE OPPRESSED By Rudy D Liporada -- Available at Amazoncom

(In the last chapters government soldiers massacre Igorots and burn their village Alinew a rebel priest says mass and converses with Maria an amazon on equality)

Chapter 4 - A Tactical Revenge Alinew was praising the coffee handed

to him by Maria when they heard rustles from the bushes across the clearing

After a few seconds the boy Kudia-mat sprang out from the thickets

ldquoKa Alinew Ka Alinewrdquo he said Seeing him the boy dashed straight

to Alinew Thorns studded the boyrsquos scratched thighs and legs

The armed throng immediately crowded over Kudiamat as he haltingly in a staccato of words and with saliva spewing told Alinew what had just hap-pened in his village

After grasping the horror Alinew barked orders

The armed men churned in a fl ash They vanished from the clearing like no one had ever camped there before

From the village combat boot prints led Alinew and his two companions to the upper part of the river

The stench of mutilated bodies and embers of the huts were still fresh up his nose when Alinew found the squad of eight soldiers now frolicking in mirthful glee splashing like children who had not done anything wrong

Up on the mound hidden by a bush hate fi lled Alinewrsquos heart He hated himself for he knows he was the reason why the soldiers massacred the tribes-men and burned their village He hated the situation and the systems that led to the killings Foremost he hated those soldiers He hated most especially that lieutenant who has a bandaged ear He hated them because they are the enemy

They are not really that kind of an en-emy for they belong to the class that are downtrodden by the enemy but by being willing or unwilling tools of the enemy they have become the enemy

And they must die All of them must die

But Alinew had only two companions with him

The dictum ran through his head When the enemy attacks we retreat When the enemy rests we harass When the enemy retreats we attack

We only fi ght battles we can win We pit larger forces against their smaller isolated forces

The most they could do is harass those at the river right now They could fi re several volleys maybe down at least two or three of the soldiers and vanish into the thickets But Alinew wants all of them All of them must die for the sins they have just committed

Alinew waited After a while the soldiers were done with their frolic After ascertaining the soldiersrsquo next move Alinew and his men sprinted back to where they left the larger force in the forest

ldquoHalt Who goes thererdquo a voice said from behind a boulder at a bend of a trail

ldquoItrsquos me Alinewrdquo he saidldquoPasswordrdquoldquoKatapanganrdquo BraveryAfter the sentry let Alinew and his

companions go through the trail Alinew let out a lsquokuwak kuwakrsquo trying to sound like a Tagak bird From their hiding places of boulders bushes and behind trees the armed men appeared and huddled over him

He picked up a stick and cleared a patch on the ground Stabbing a spot on the ground he said ldquoThis is where we arerdquo Drawing a line beneath the spot he continued ldquoDown here is the riverrdquo Glancing at his two compan-ions as if to affi rm he said ldquoA lieuten-ant is leading his squad of eight down here All are lugging Armalites One is with an M-79 One of the pasistas is a radioman

Pasistas ndash Fascists Thatrsquos how the revolutionaries tag the puppet soldiers of the government Puppets because though they pose as protectors of the land they actually protect those who impose their will upon the people for the people to be enslaved to be exploited to be leeched off their blood and sweat so those who are few in the social order could main-tain their wealth a thousand fold beyond their needs reducing those enslaved the majority in perpetual grappling of the crumb leftovers of the few

These pasistas come from the majority but are led to believe that those who fi ght for the majority are enemies of the nation disturber of the peace and are only too willing to be puppets for the pittance they receive from the fewhellippittance but to them enough given that the crumb leftovers being fought over by the majority are far more less far far more less than the pittance they receive

For this pittance they could believe they serve the nation against those who

claim to fi ght for the majority For this pittance they serve as puppets of the few even if they could die

And these pasistas must die Jabbing the stick on the ground

Alinew said ldquoWe will ambush them hererdquo

The whimpering of ripples was in a choir of gentle whistling breeze and rustles of trees by the mound facing the river Tweeting of mayas that fl ut-tered from tree to tree punctuated the ensemble of sounds The patient melody did not forebode a dissonance to come that afternoon in the forest

Patience Alinew slumped on his belly behind

a thin curtain of grass with his M-16 pointed towards the river He was in the middle of fi ghters in various positions of waiting behind boulders bushes trees Those with the strongest guns the two Browning automatic rifl es were posi-tioned at the extreme sides of the line

Patience Maria curled behind a boulder two

arms near Alinew Like everyone else in the line her weaker Springfi eld was interspersed with those with stronger guns A World War II vintage her gun was among those carted from a raid on an ROTC arsenal It had fi red with a squeaky undertones when it did not mis-fi re Maria was not even sure if it would fi re this time She will only know when she pulls the trigger

PatienceMaria knows that they will soon get

stronger arms They do have those guns but they are still in the hands of the enemy All they have to do is have the enemy deliver the arms to them All they have to do is grab the arms from the enemy like from those who are about to come

For now the most important arm is their heart their courage their belief that they would overcome their lack of arms that their ranks will swell to ac-quire those arms that they will eventu-ally overwhelm the enemy though they are now but a miniscule group compared to the gargantuan enemy

PatienceThey must have the resoluteness in

pitting larger forces against isolated smaller forces of the enemy retreating and preserving smaller forces when larg-er forces attack them in a resolute series of annihilating the enemy unit by unit while their revolutionary forces swell in the arduous protracted struggle which time will only tell when it will end

But it will surely endEven if many of them will dieYes many of them will die for death

is a common occurrence Yet death in the service of the oppressors is lighter than a feather Death in the service of the people is heavier than the Cordillera Mountains

The death of those coming from down the river will be lighter than feathers

PatienceAnd they came The lieutenant with

his bandaged ear and his men came At two arm lengths apart they dug their heels stealthily on the sandy bank as if careful not to disturb the pebbles by the river

The lieutenant appeared like a monster with two huge eyes with his sunglasses on His fi nger clutched the trigger of his M-16 while his 45 nested in its holster that fl apped on his hip

He entered into the site of fi re of Alinewrsquos gun

One Alinew said to himself sparingly breathing anxious that he might disturb the curtain of grass that made him invis-ible from the river

Though Alinew hated especially the lieutenant he held himself from pressing his trigger Let those at the end of the line fi nish him off he said to himself

Two The sergeant with crisscrossed bandoliers

Three lugged the M-79Alinew waited for the fourth soldier

By then at least three guns would be trained on each of those who are about to die There should be no escape There should be no fi ght There should just be instant death

And the fourth entered Alinewrsquos line of fi re

ldquoFire Firerdquo Alinew burst out from the bottom of his lungs as his gun spewed blazing fusillades that ripped into the fourth soldierrsquos chest The sol-dier slammed on the sand jerking from the throes of death to nothingness

Down the line the baritones of burp-ing guns and tenor staccato of rifl es overwhelmed the melody of ripples rustles and tweets as fi ery bullets zipped into skulls hearts sinews and souls

The soldiers slumped thudded sprawled on the bank blood spurting to drench their cloths to darken the sand as they shuddered with their last breathes The lieutenant was not even able to moan as he slumped on the ground blood splashing from his mouth and his sunglasses smashed unto a rock

It should have been over as the rattle

Chapter 4 A Tactical Revenge

of guns subsided Amidst the smoke however Alinew saw the fi fth soldier though wounded still scrambling on his radio

ldquoMayday Maydayrdquo the soldier said ldquoOur position ishelliprdquo

He did not fi nish his message A gun crackled and blood spurted between his eyes

Mariarsquos Springfi eld had merely squeaked when she had squeezed the trigger upon Alinewrsquos signal to fi re She had re-cocked twice more but the hammer still did not smack the butt of the bullet within the gunrsquos chamber Although two other guns wounded the radioman he was Mariarsquos man to kill It was her fourth cock and press on the trigger that banged the radioman to his death

Even before the smoke had settled by the river Alinew and his men had already carted the guns of those who have died

And they vanished into the forests(Next Chapter ndash Paulo the renegade

believes that someone has turned traitor among the rebel ranks)

Book Review Virgin Coconut Oil

Have you ever considered the health benefits of Virgin Coconut Oil If not you will if you read this book

In Virgin Coconut Oil - How It Has Changed Peoples Lives and How It Can Change Yours authors Brian and Marianita Jader Shilhavy share their stories years of research testimonies from others and recipes to show you how to live a healthier life

This book opens with an intro-duction discussing the decrease in farming in America and how many develop-ing na-tions like the Philip-pines are attempting to follow the way of industri-alization and tech-nology to prosper like the United States has It then swiftly moves into the authors stories Born in the Philippines Marianita talked about her father being a farmer and the daily use of coconut oil She goes on to discuss the health of the people in her farming community and how they rarely visited the doctor

After Marianita and Brian were married they lived in the States until 1998 when they moved to the Philippines Though the area had gone through some changes Brian was amazed by the health of the older genera-tion This led him to begin researching dietary hab-its and herbal traditions They began making their own coco-nut oil following the older methods instead of purchasing refined ver-sions in the stores

What follows after their moving tales is a well-researched book on the health benefits of using virgin coconut oil and numerous testimo-nies from people from all walks of life who have experienced these ben-efits for conditions such as diabetes fibromyalgia digestive disorders weight loss and more There is even a section on coconut oil and pet and animal nutrition

Virgin Coconut Oil contains over 75 recipes like Jalapeno Orange Sauce Turkey Soup Green Beans with Spicy Basalmic Sauce and gluten free Chocolate Fudge Brown-ies Yum The first Appendix is a Candida Questionnaire Candidiasis is the technical term for yeast infec-tions

The only thing that seemed a tiny bit out of place is the second ap-pendix which discusses how Brian found peace with God and how you can too Though the author ties it into looking for better health which is the topic of this book since this wasnt a prevalent theme throughout the book it seems to drop in out of nowhere That aside I definitely think health conscious people and those wishing to improve their overall health will be interested in reading Virgin Coconut Oil

Goat Milk and Eczema

Are you helping your eczema with goat milk

The word eczema is used to describe a variety of skin condi-tions Some of these include atopic dermatitis contact dermatitis dys-hidrotic eczema nummular eczema and seborrheic dermatitis Whatever the type the result is irritated and inflamed skin that sometimes oozes sometimes cracks and peels and most often itches

There are some estimates that eczema affects over 30 million people in the United States While infants and young children are most affected many people continue to suffer from eczema into their adult years Unfortunately the number of eczema sufferers is on the rise

Nobody knows exactly what causes eczema Some hypothesize it is related to or caused by genetics food allergies asthma overactive immune responses allergens stress environmental factors or sick-ness Unfortunately there also are no known cures for eczema Most treatments are designed to relieve the itching associated with eczema so as to prevent scratching which can lead to infections To this end lotions and creams (often containing steroids) are prescribed

The best thing that you can do to treat eczema is to improve the bodyrsquos overall health and immune system by eating a healthy diet and removing as many chemicals that come in contact with the skin as possible

Clean raw goat milk from healthy goats is a great way to promote the intestinal health of anyone but it is particularly important for those who suffer from eczema According to Thomas Crowne MD

ldquoIn trying to understand eczema on a deeper level the first issue to address as with all allergic and auto-immune diseases is the fact that the antibodies that cause auto-immune reactions are made against foreign proteins that have found their way into the bloodstream Whether we are talking about foreign food antigens (food allergies) or auto-immune reactions the issue is not so much stopping the toxic skin reac-tion that results in the eczema but rather sealing and healing the gut in order to stop the leakage of foreign proteins into the blood stream either from food or other sources Healing the micro-flora of the gut heal-ing the micro-villi of the gut and stopping the absorption of antigenic proteins is the key to stopping the

Follow these tips to minimize your risk of being injured in a car crash while yoursquore on

vacation

Most people think about travel vaccines when theyrsquore planning an international trip but few people con-sider the possibility that they might be involved in a car crash Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among healthy travelers and no vac-cine can prevent a car wreck Fortu-nately a little bit of knowledge and awareness can go a long way toward keeping you safe

Just the StatsEach year 13 million people are

killed and 20ndash50 million are injured in motor vehicle crashes worldwide Most (85) of these casualties occur in low- or middle-income countries and 25000 of the deaths are among tourists Nearly half of medical evacuations back to the United States are the result of a car crash and a medical evacuation can cost upward of $100000

Donrsquot Wreck Your VacationWhy are car crashes a risk for travel-

ersMore and more people are driving

cars and riding motorcycles in devel-oping countries and these countries are an increasingly common destina-tion for US tourists Roads in these countries may be poorly maintained and traffic laws may be haphazardly followed or enforced A crash in a developing country is more likely to be fatal because emergency care may not be readily available It may take a long time to get to a center that can provide appropriate care and care where available may not be up to US standards

Tourists may get behind the wheel in a foreign country without being ad-equately informed of local traffic laws they may not be accustomed to driving on the left or they may be driving vehicles (such as rented motorcycles or scooters) that they do not know how to properly operate In addition the excitement of being on vacation may encourage travelers to engage in risky behaviors such as drinking and driv-ing that they would never do at home

What can I do to avoid a crashTake the following steps to minimize

your risk of being injured in a crash while yoursquore on vacation

Always wear seatbelts and put chil-dren in car seats When possible avoid riding in a car in a developing country at night Donrsquot ride motorcycles If you must ride a motorcycle wear a helmet Know local traffic laws before you get behind the wheel Donrsquot drink and drive Ride only in marked taxis that have seatbelts Avoid overcrowded overweight or top-heavy buses or vans Be alert when crossing the street espe-cially in countries where people drive on the left Following these tips is the best way you can keep from getting in a motor vehicle crash and ensure a safe and healthy vacation (But donrsquot forget your travel vaccines either)

STROKE Remember the 1st Three Letters

S T RSTROKE IDENTIFICATIONDuring a BBQ a friend stumbled

and took a little fall ndash she assured ev-eryone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) She said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food While she appeared a bit shaken up Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening

Ingridrsquos husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital ndash (at 600 pm Ingrid passed away) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke perhaps Ingrid would be with us to-day Some donrsquot die They end up in a helpless hopeless condition instead

It only takes a minute to read thishellipA neurologist says that if he can

get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a strokehelliptotally He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized diag-nosed and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours which is tough

RECOGNIZING A STROKEThank God for the sense to remem-

ber the rsquo3rsquos steps STRRead and LearnSometimes symptoms of a stroke

are difficult to identify Unfortunately the lack of awareness spells disaster The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions

S Ask the individual to SMILET Ask the person to TALK and

SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Co-herently ndash ie It is sunny out today)

R Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher

New Sign of a Stroke mdashmdashndash Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE Another lsquosignrsquo of a stroke is this Ask the person to lsquostickrsquo out his tongue If the tongue is lsquocrookedrsquo if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke

Red wine has well known health ben-efits However drinking any alcoholic beverage in excess can lead to alcohol-ism and the serious health problems associated with it so limit your red wine consumption to no more than 24 ounces per day Use FitDay to keep track of the calories yoursquore eating and make sure that you get adequate nutrition on the road to weight loss as you enjoy the following benefits of an occasional glass of wine

1) Red Wine is Good for Your HeartRed wine contains resveratrol a pow-

erful antioxidant compound Resveratrol also protects your heart and arteries against the effects of saturated fat in your diet so drinking one or two glasses of red wine a day can help protect your heart and prevent cardiovascular disease

The flavonoids and sapponins in red wine also help to protect your heart against cardiovascular disease The alcohol in red wine when consumed in moderation raises your levels of ldquogoodrdquo HDL cholesterol helps prevent the formation of blood clots and can help to protect your arteries from the damage caused by ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol

2) Red Wine Contains AntioxidantsIn addition to resveratrol red wine

contains a number of other antioxidants which can slow the signs of aging and prevent a number of degenerative ill-nesses like type 2 diabetes Drinking one or two glasses of red wine each day can help protect you from many of the dis-eases of the elderly such as osteoporosis

3) Red Wine Prevents CancerMounting evidence suggests that

drinking red wine in moderation can help prevent cancer The many antioxidants in red wine can help prevent the oxidative damage responsible for the process of ag-ing and for many degenerative conditions like Alzheimerrsquos type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease Guercetin one of the many antioxidants in red wine may help prevent lung cancer Research has shown that resveratrol the same red wine antioxidant that helps protect your heart can also kill cancerous cells

Scientists have found that resveratrol when used in conjunction with radiation therapy can penetrate cancerous cells and induce apoptosis Apoptosis is a type of cell death that occurs when the

cell dies dissolves and is removed by the white cells of your immune system Cancer researchers have been looking for a way to induce apoptosis in cancer-ous cells because itrsquos the safest way to remove unwanted cells from the body

Resveratrol also inhibits cancer-ous cellsrsquo ability to remove irradiated particles making radiation therapy more effective against cancer Resveratrol also attacks cancerous cells and inhibits their ability to function

Europe and the United States is loud and clear

The US itself has not contributed to the fi rewall while eurozone member countriesrsquo economies are suffering from the IMF-led auster-ity measures Legarde said at the G20 meeting that these additional resources would only be tapped as a second line defense after quotas have been exhausted and the New Arrangements to Borrow facility have already been used up The Philippines which has a strong external position has also been contributing to the IMFrsquos New Ar-rangements to Borrow facility when it became a ldquocreditorrdquo country to the global lenderrsquos Financial Transac-

pines paid off in December 2006 all its outstanding debts that saddled it for almost 45 years These transac-tions earn interest and the funds can still be technically counted as part of the Philippinesrsquo international re-serves In 2011 the Philippines has committed about US$524 million to the FTP facility where the IMF drew down some $149 million to help other member countries By April the IMF used up another $535 mil-lion to extend assistance to Portugal and Greece - Rapplercom

PH adds $1B(Continued from page 1)

Filipinas In the struggle for independence numerous leaders and revolutionaries at-tempted to defi ne a collective Filipino people in order to as-sert its agency in overthrow-ing its colonial masters and actualizing its own distinct identity ndash a post-colonial phe-nomenon that theorist Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak described as ldquostrategic essentialismrdquo

Indeed creating an essential ldquoFilipinordquo persona or ideal has been a preoccupation for its people Since the Philippinesrsquo independence from its last colonial power laws have been set in place to defi ne ldquoFilipinordquo from the declaration of a national language out of many widely used regional languages to the proper way to sing the national anthem Strict rules about Philip-pine ancestry determine who can participate in politics athletics and industry

The embodiment of the Filipino Juan de la Cruz is shown consis-tently as a brown-skinned man in farmerrsquos clothing Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo spoke of the ldquodeep Catholicism of the vast majority of the Filipino peoplerdquo while National Artist for Literature F Sionil Jose has written about how ldquoart always has nationalityrdquo specifi cally referencing US-based National Artist for Literature Jose Garcia Villa when he said ldquoHersquos not Filipino There is nothing Filipino in his writings in his thoughtsrdquo

lsquoInconsistentrsquo Filipino

From the cultural imagination to national policy there is a con-structed idea of what ldquoFilipinordquo is or should be So what happens when ldquoFilipinordquo isnrsquot always consistent

What do we do with a Philippine passport holder whose fi rst language is English and has lived half of her life outside of the Philippines What about the football player whose last name is Younghusband or the beauty queen whose last name is Raj

What about the young dark-skinned Amerasian girl with dreadlocks or the tall light-skinned man who speaks Spanish at home and Bisaya at work What about the millions in the diaspora that have established their lives globally but still support the families they left behind Do we have room in our spiritual landscape for a family that has embraced the Buddhist faith or for indigenous communities to practice traditional animistic beliefs while participating in an overwhelm-ingly Catholic culture

People with seemingly uncon-ventional backgrounds have been met with mixed reactions Some are embraced as part of the rich cultures of the Philippines Others have been met with skepticism and even rejection Recent comments by some public fi gures show that many people still hold on to stubbornly to rigid ideas of what ldquoFilipinordquo is One of these is the statement of GMA-7rsquos Arnold Clavio (httpwwwrapplercomentertainment2428-arnold-clavio-trends-on-twitter-over-anti-azkal-remark) that members of the Philippine Azkals are not really Filipino

Diverse culture

Views similar to Claviorsquos are in stark contrast with reality Over hundreds of years of history the backgrounds and experiences of the people who identify with ldquoFilipinordquo have been as diverse as the islands that make up what is now the Philip-pines

Over 180 indigenous ethnic com-munities live throughout the country speaking almost as many languages Migration led Malayo-Polynesian and Negrito people to permanently settle in the islands Eventually Chinese Indian Arab and Japanese merchants and traders arrived Span-ish and American settlers stayed fol-lowing their respective occupation periods In more recent years immi-grants from South Korea Australia and Germany among others have settled in the country

At the same time outward migra-tion of Filipinos has occurred on a large scale In 2010 an estimated 11 of the Filipino population or 125 million people was based out-side the Philippines Overseas Fili-pinos can be found in almost every corner of the globe from next-door Hong Kong to the streets of Queens in New York City from the oil rigs of Saudi Arabia to the main stage of a Hawaiian cruise ship Many have also left the country for greener pastures abroad whether to start life anew or to pursue long-distance loves while maintaining ties with the Philippines

Their children may not think of the Philippines as home but they are endowed with opportunities to ex-plore their rich heritage All of these people are part of the Filipino expe-rience and remain connected through global modes of communication and migration Excluding them from any defi nition of ldquoFilipinordquo leaves behind an incomplete picture of our peoplersquos history

Our cultural panorama is rich with the diverse backgrounds and experiences of people who are proud to identify themselves as Filipino and they are an integral part of our everyday lives They are our class-mates and colleagues the artistas that capture our hearts the basket-ball star who scores the winning lay-up the musicians blasting from our speakers the merchant selling us our favorite food the journalist who gives us the daily news and the dreamers who work hard to improve the quality of living in the Philip-pines

Our experiences may not be the same but they all contribute equally to ldquoFilipinordquo life ndash Rapplercom

Why Lend the IMF $1BBangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Gov Amando Tetangco Jr Having near record-high foreign reserves of $76 billion the Philippines is capa-ble of lending $1 billion that will earn interest while helping other countries beset with fi nan-cial problems The Philippines is supporting the global efforts to stabilize the world econ-omy and maintain it on a growth path This is the reason why the Philippines is extending a $1 billion loan to the IMF We are a member of the global community of nations and it is also in our interest to ensure economic and fi nan-cial stability across the globe -- Source wwwfacebookcompresidentnoy

nardo Reamon Jr weighing 220 pounds (997 kg) suffers from high blood pressure and high sugar levels

Due to his weight he says getting into his police uniform has become a task And hersquos feeling the strain from more demanding physical activities

ldquoSometimes the weight has an effect on the knees So every time I run I take care of my kneesrdquo Reamon said

He aims to lose 20 pounds and aside from joining the work-outs he jogs and swims

in his free timeThe weight loss program requires

personnel to join twice-weekly sessions involving calisthenics run-ning walking or biking and lectures on proper diet and stress manage-ment

Philippine National Police Director General Nicanor Bartolome an avid runner led the track sessions along with fresh graduates from the police academy while overweight offi cers tried to keep pace

Bartolome said sedentary duties like sitting at the headquarters desk and writing up reports should not prevent police offi cers from main-taining their fi tness

ldquoWe are concerned about that of course We want our personnel to be fi t in the performance of their job How can they run after criminal ele-ments if they are not fi t physicallyrdquo Bartolome said

The offi cers are the fi rst to admit that their weight could get in the way of their police work

ldquoWhen we patrol with the motor-cycle unit of the highway patrol we can respond quicker if our bellies are not so bigrdquo Ranada said

The weight watch is no light matter for the police offi cers Three consecutive failures in the bi-annual physical fi tness test could be grounds for getting kicked out of the service

A WHO study showed that the overweight issue is present na-tionwide -- 23 percent of Filipino males and 44 percent of females are projected to be overweight by

Is living to 100 a goal of yours Even if itrsquos not these expert tips on living a longer healthier and happier life will come in handy

1 Learn from the pros A few years back I did research on centenarians after deciding that I wanted to live to be over 100 years old (this decision was followed by the decision to live the life I want to live a few years prior to that-so I fi gured Irsquod better check out what others are doing) This is what I found Think more good thoughts drink enough water regularly breathe deeply daily walk regularly and have friendships

-Wendy Kay certifi ed life coach and motivator

2 Be in good spirits The most essential live-to-100 tip to me is recognize that you create your perceptions from the inside out A personrsquos mood in the moment creates his or her experience a personrsquos experience does not create his or her mood Those who understand this live a smooth and stress-free life They do not play victim to external circumstances

-Garret Kramer founder and managing partner of Inner Sports LLC

3 Take anxiety and stress seriously Donrsquot just tolerate feeling anxious stressed and overwhelmed all the time-fi nd a solution Itrsquos important that you take anxiety (and panic attacks) seriously if for no other reason than the stress they place on the heart Recent research found that both women under 50 years of age and postmenopausal women who suffer anxiety

and panic attacks may have an increased risk of heart disease

4 Drink water Start your day with 16 to 32 ounces of water Fill your tank-your body-with water If you think yoursquore hun-gry drink water We often confuse hunger for thirst When you learn to recognize your true thirst instinctively you will begin simultaneously and automatically to reduce your food intake Water is so benefi cial and if you reach for that instead of any other drink in your lifetime it will defi nitely help get you to 100

-Dian Griesel co-author of Turbo-Charged who is 50 years old but has a metabolic age of a 17-year-old according to her Tanita body composition

5 Stand up straight Peoplersquos bones break down over time with bad posture Exercises like occasionally running in your bare feet and simple resistance training you can do at your desk or at home are incredibly helpful in preserving posture For example relieve chest tightness with self myo-fascial release (use a massage ball or foam roll) and stretching while strengthening the upper-back muscles My favorite exercise for hunchback posture is upper-back foam rolling which anyone can do on the living room fl oor

Daily Meditation Growing into the Truth We Speak Can we only speak when we are

fully living what we are saying If all our words had to cover all our actions we would be doomed to permanent silence Sometimes we are called to proclaim Godrsquos love even when we are not yet fully able to live it Does that mean we are hypocrites Only when our own words no longer call us to conver-sion Nobody completely lives up to his or her own ideals and visions But by proclaiming our ideals and visions with great conviction and great humility we may gradually grow into the truth we speak As long as we know that our lives always will speak louder than our words we can trust that our words will remain humble

ldquoA Life of Blessingsrdquo

Q Have you had any en-counter with the evil

of the other sideA Yes We have a say-

ing that the closer you are to the Lord the more the other side will pull you to their side Our Lord appeared to me through a dream the other side also appeared to me but not through a dream I was awake In fact I told you that you cannot describe the Lord because He is everything The same with the other side You cannot totally describe the evil because he is everything however they are oppo-site in the beauty of the Lord and the ugliness of the other side In fact he offered me that if only I will stop my mission he offered to make me one of the richest man in the whole world and then I will be the most popular in

the whole world and he will give me all the women that I like But then

I told him I do not need temporary happiness I like happiness that is

eternal That is why I did not accept his offerQ You are propagating

God s Divine Mercy andpeople think that God is really very very merciful so that they continue to do many bad things in

their life hoping that God will be merciful in the

end What can you advise to these people

A Well Jesus one time when I had a conversation with Him said ldquoSinners should understand that mer-cy is only possible while you are still alive on earth Justice takes over when you are deadrdquo Meaning if we are still alive mercy of God is still available but when we are dead justice takes over

seems to be an air of confusion as to who is responsible for cybersecurity within an organisation Does this fall under the remit of the IT department or senior management

This responsibility should be shared between both parties ensur-ing that the organisation is protected from all sides of the operation Whilst it is the responsibility of the IT department to implement relevant security protocols senior manage-ment must also ensure that employ-ees are aware and able to identify cyber security threats

As threats become more sophis-ticated and frequent ldquodefence in depthrdquo needs to be considered This essentially creates a unifi ed barrier against malicious attacks resulting in the creation of a multi-layered shield around a companyrsquos security infrastructure protecting it and the information it holds at different levels

Safeguarding sensitive material including customer information is paramount for any organisation so they must ensure that everyone is not only aware of these threats but that they have been effectively trained in how to recognise report and handle such threats

This approach coupled with the implementation of new sophisti-cated security measures such as cloud-based protection will help to create an impenetrable barrier against malicious attacks

Managing risk and exposure is not something that will happen overnight but is an ongoing lengthy process and one that is signifi cantly less work and hassle compared to rebuilding a compromised infra-structure-- Read more httpwwwitproportalcom20120611who-responsible-protecting-business-against-cybercrimeixzz1yC0Fqogd

order (EO) spelling out the govern-mentrsquos revised mining policy in the midst of intense debate between industry leaders and environmental-ists through the years

Without going into details the President said small-scale mining would be further regulated through-out the country under the new EO which he added was undergoing ldquofi ne-tuningrdquo in certain provisions for being ldquosuperfl uousrdquo

Mining and oil shares rose 164 percent in the Philippine stock market on Wednesday following Mr Aquinorsquos statements

The managing director of First Grade Holdings Astro del Castillo said the issuance of the new rules would trigger a signifi cant spike in investments from new and old min-ing companies ldquoIf you look at the industry they have really stepped on the brakes over the past yearrdquo he said in an interview

The new policy would expand the functions of the Mineral Develop-ment Council said a source privy to the matter

Under the plan a new council composed of the Cabinet clusters on environment climate change and economic issues would assess mining projects and rules related to the industry It would also propose legislation for the mining industry

78 tourism areas

Asked how the new EO will be able to balance out concerns on en-vironment protection and economic gains Mr Aquino said that one of its provisions would designate ldquoroughlyrdquo 78 areas to be reserved for tourism ldquoand mining cannot happen thererdquo

Extractive activities would be dis-allowed in agricultural and ecotour-ism areas according to the source At present mining is barred only in areas under protected status

The President noted that the provi-sion in the draft EO that ldquomining cannot happen in prime agricultural landsrdquo had also been stated in the law extending the implementation of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program which in turn prohibited the conversion of irrigated lands

acid which help remove dead skin cells from your skinrsquos surface This leaves new cells on the surface of your skin that are smoother and younger looking The alpha-hydroxy acids are so effective because they break down the bonds that hold the dead skin cells together Re-moving dead skin cells will help many skin conditions by removing irritation Water-based soaps may use harsh chemi-cal acids to accomplish this frequently with skin-damaging results

Vitamins Goat milk contains many vitamins but is particularly high in Vitamin A which is necessary to repair damaged skin tissue and maintain healthy skin There have been several medical studies showing that creams made with Vitamin A reduce lines and wrinkles control acne and provide some psoriasis relief Water-based soaps can be artifi cially fortifi ed with vitamins but most arenrsquot

Cream Fat molecules are an impor-tant part of making good soap The

cream that is present in goat milk helps boost the moisturizing quality of goat milk soaps Since many people suffer from dry skin particularly in the winter months this is an important quality for soap Goat milk soap will not dry your skin out like many other soaps This is important because keeping skin naturally moisturized helps keep skin healthy

Minerals Goat milk contains impor-tant minerals for the skin such as sele-nium Selenium is believed by scientists to have an important role in preventing skin cancer Selenium can also help pre-vent damage to the skin from excessive time in the sun Although the water used in other soaps may contain minerals such as calcium sodium or iron (commonly found in tap water) thatrsquos not much help when it comes to your skin (Note Many areas in the United States have pastures low in selenium At Goat Milk Stuff our dairy goats get a selenium booster to insure their mineral needs are met)

One of the benefi ts often listed on other websites is that of pH You can read about why I didnrsquot list pH as one of the reasons goat milk is better for your skin Regardless whether your skin is healthy or not it will certainly benefi t

from using a handmade soap made not with water but with unprocessed goat milk fresh from the farm -- Source httpgoatmilkstuffcomGoat-Milk-Soap-Benefi tshtml

ldquoSo I asked our lawyers lsquoDo we need to put this down there when itrsquos very clear that there is such a law Do we have to reiteraterdquo he said adding that the government might end up being a laughingstock for this

He said small-scale mining sites would be declared ldquoMinahan ng Bayanrdquo

The President who was inter-viewed by reporters after attending a convention of leaders of the Autono-mous Region in Muslim Mindanao at Waterfront Hotel here said he had asked his executive secretary Paquito Ochoa to look into the gov-ernmentrsquos share of mining revenues and to fl esh out the basis for impos-ing either higher taxes or royalties on mining projects

Balanced policyAt present the government is

collecting a 5-percent royalty tax on mineral reservations and a 2-percent excise tax on gross sales of mining products In 2011 excise taxes from mining amounted to some P800 million

ldquoDo we need legislation to effect a better return for the staterdquo the President said ldquoAnd thenmdashall taxes involvedmdash[public revenues] hellip will not even reach 10 percent of what they (mining fi rms) are making from the extraction of our resources That seemed not fairrdquo

In Manila Environment Secre-tary Ramon Paje said the mining policy ldquowill ensure a balance policy between extractive activities and environmental protectionrdquo

While it will open the Philippines to mining activities it will make sure that companies follow environ-mental and safety laws Paje said

The fi nal draft submitted by Ochoa to the President on Monday took into consideration the inputs made in a joint Cabinet economic and en-vironmental cluster that were called in to ensure the government will be able to strike a balance between economic gains and environment protection

Administrative fees

In separate interviews offi cials of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) said the new mining policy would not yet impose the royalty tax on mining companies a levy vehemently op-posed by the industry

To raise more money from the sec-tor and pending legal issues on the royalty tax the government would impose higher administrative fees such as occupational and applica-tion fees which are used by mineral speculators Paje had said in a previ-ous interview

Owners of idle mineral lots do not pay an occupational fee to the government leading to losses of P760 million Paje said A lot owner is mandated to pay an occupational fee of P60 per hectare only when the land is placed under a Mineral Processing Share Agreement

Mineralized lots which are fenced off and left undeveloped have produced mineral speculators that drive up the cost of land for legiti-mate mining companies and lead to revenue losses for the government the DENR offi cials said

While mining industry leaders are pressing the government to be more accommodating to them the new EO is expected to infl ame environ-mentalists and conservationists who oppose the promotion of mining in a country with high biodiversity and is very vulnerable to extreme weather effects

40 provinces vs mining

According to Mines and Geosci-ences Bureau (MGB) Director Leo Jasareno the ldquoantimining sentimentrdquo has affected the growth of the indus-try pointing out that about 40 prov-inces have adopted laws restricting mining activities

Legitimate mining companies were also haled to the Supreme Court he said

ldquoThe antimining advocacy is bringing us down hellip it is hurting the countryrdquo Jasareno said

The Philippines saw a decline in mining investments in the past year According to data from the DENR-MGB total Philippine metallic mineral production value during the fi rst quarter this year plummeted by a staggering 38 percent from P3140 billion to P1961 billion year on year or an P1179-billion shortfall

He attributed the antimining senti-ment to the lack of information on sustainable mining Communities receive little or no revenues from mining fi rms in their midst he said

The mining industry was also at fault For years they have aban-doned mines and fl outed environ-mental laws in the Philippines Jasareno said

Easier for legit miners

Fund managers hailed the Presi-dentrsquos announcement that new rules on mining could be out by the end of the week

Analysts said the signing of the new executive order should mean that new mining contracts would fi nally be granted helping the coun-try tap the potential impact of the industry on economic growth

ldquoThis will create a lot of local jobs This will also create a lot of indirect income for communities because of the support servicesrdquo Joey Roxas president of Eagle Equities said Wednesday

Concerned government agencies should act fast and approve pending petitions for contracts by companies that comply with the requirements under the new order Roxas said

ldquoThe market wants to see contracts granted quickly if the government wants to show that they do not really mean to hold back the industryrdquo he said ldquoThe new rules should make the environment easier for legitimate minersrdquo he added

He said the Philippines has a long history in mining with cities like Baguio and Toledo in Cebu province tracing their early developments to the industry ldquoThese cities would not exist if not for miningrdquo Roxas said

He said the issuance of the presi-dential order would lead to an imme-diate improvement in the perfor-mance of mining stocks on the local bourse With reports from Kristine L Alave Paolo G Montecillo and Riza T Olchondra in Manila

vicious cycle that results in chronic eczemardquo

Unlike pasteurized milk raw goat milk still contains enzymes and healthy bacteria that should be present in the intestinal tract If you do not have a source of clean raw goat milk from healthy goats a high quality yogurt with lots of healthy bacteria is your next best source

Using goat milk soap on the skin is highly effective in providing eczema relief Those who suffer from ec-zema should use an unscented soap in order to reduce the possibility of further irritants You should also switch to an unscented laundry soap that is not made with detergents ir-ritants or optical brighteners

inspiration to fi nd our way through this life with a sense of entitlement Not the self-centered variety but the entitlement that comes from being an heir of Christ

This book is a contrast to todayrsquos New Age books that promote the ability to control your own destiny Brown promises even more miracles joy forgiveness success freedom a good sense of humorhellip He says everything is there for the asking and none of it is magic

What is the catch Miracles are as much a part of life as crosses and of equal value So while anything is pos-sible as Christians there is the under-standing that ultimately God calls the shots and our holiness demands that we take the good with the bad Everything is based on Godrsquos promises as given to us through the Bible

Spiritual Psychology

Each of the forty-six chapters offers encouragement Pitfalls of the human condition are identifi ed such as stress harassment from evil emotional bag-gage inner turmoil lack of faith fear unforgiveness and antagonists Using the teachings and promises of Christ Brown turns them into sound bites of spiritual psychology For example

Keeping our mouths shut opens the Kingdom of Heaven

God designed the world so that our greatest joy is closeness to Him

Anxiety solves nothing and spoils everything

Handled well suffering leads to resurrection

When you hit rock bottom then you have located a foundation on which to build

Godrsquos a builder and sometimes that involves demolition

He never said life would be easy just worth it

Stop marching to the beat of the enemy

What blinds bindsReversion

I originally came across Brown when I read his fi rst book Love Canal and the Poisoning of America about the impact of toxic chemicals on the community in Love Canal New York whose residents had to abandon their homes in 1980 It was a reading assignment for me while I attended graduate school At the time I was an uninformed Catholic and Brown was not practicing his Catholic faith He had achieved prominence as a writer and speaker It was in the early

1980s while writing a book about the Mafi a for Simon amp Schuster he experi-enced a dramatic return to his Catholic faith

It was a delight to meet again on the other side of our reversions Some of his earlier books (Hersquos published 25 in all) helped to fuel the fl ames of my faith many years ago He inspires and informs many through his is popular Catholic website ldquoSpirit Dailyrdquo with news from around the world of topics ranging from the mystical and spiritual to the political and physical phenom-ena

Encouragement

In A Life of Blessings Brown reminds us clearly that Jesus stated many times that God would answer our prayers mdash ldquoKnock and the door will be openedhellipWhatever you ask the Father in my name it will be granted Seek and you shall fi ndhelliprdquo Brown challenges us to believe and be bold enough to ask for even big miracles To encourage such confi dence he includes real life stories from his own life and others as examples of answered prayers and touches with the Divine

To those uninitiated in faith and miracles it would seem that Brown promises the world In reality he is merely reiterating what Jesus has already taught and shown us mdash ev-erything in the world is possible and everything in heaven is attainable Ultimately aligning ourselves with God will empower us beyond our imagina-tions and strengthen us for the journey

est person in the Philippines with a net worth of $91 billion up $19 billion from a year ago according to Forbes

But the most impressive was En-rique Razon Jr this yearrsquos biggest gainer as the 52-year old tycoon saw his wealth surge by $2 billion to $36 billion catapulting him four ranks higher to become the countryrsquos third richest person

Took over at 27

Razon became a billionaire last year with $16 billion in net worth and made his first fortune in ports taking over the family business International Container Terminal Services (ICTS) at age 27

He turned ICTS into one of the largest port operators in Asia before expanding into Europe North America and the Middle East

Forbes said that much of Razonrsquos jump in wealth this year was from his stake in Bloomberry Resorts which had a public offering this May

Bloomberry plans to open a resort casino on Manila Bay in 2013 that Razon hopes will position the coun-try as a gaming destination alongside Macau and Singapore

Henry Sy retains the top spot on the list with control of the countryrsquos biggest retail group which includes SM Prime the Philippinesrsquo largest mall developer with 42 malls

Lucio Tan

No 2 on the list is Lucio Tan with $45 billion up $17 billion from last year the magazine said

Known as the Philippinesrsquo tobacco king the 78-year-old billionaire owns part of Phillip Morris Fortune Tobacco which has an estimated 80-percent share of the cigarette market

Other assets held by Tan include beer-maker Asia Brewery and Hong

Kong-based Eton Properties Tan also sold a 49-percent stake in the holding company of Philippine Airlines to San Miguel Corp for a reported $500 million in April

Gambling is an appealing sector for other billionaires in the country Forbes said

PHrsquos only private casino

Andrew Tanrsquos Alliance Global which is partnered with Malaysiarsquos Genting has the countryrsquos only private casino in Manila Resorts World which opened in 2010

Andrew Tan is ranked No 6 on this yearrsquos list with a net worth of $23 billion up from $2 billion previously

The Sy family is also getting in on the gambling action with its own Manila Bay resort and casino sched-uled to open next year

Overall 34 out of the 37 returnees on the list grew richer

PDEA wants ban on canni-balism drug

ABS CBN News | MANILA Phil-ippines 692012 - The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) wants a ban on the drug mephed-rone known by the street name ldquobath saltsrdquo

The drug has been linked to a cannibalism case in Miami Florida A video of the case which showed a man eating the face of a homeless person has gone viral

The suspect initially showed no signs of weakening even after being shot at by police

He eventually died of several gun-shot wounds

There are other US incidents of mephedrone users exhibiting de-lirium and violence

PDEA officials say there have been no mephedrone incidents in South-east Asia but they are subjecting several brands of bath salts to tests

The Bureau of Customs has also been alerted against the entry of mephedrone to the country

PDEA has also recommended that the drug be included in the countryrsquos list of dangerous drugs

by Atty Andrew Agtagma

This article concludes my discussion about the five ethical duties that Cali-fornia attorneys owe to their clients I previously discussed the duty to provide competent representation and the duty of loyalty This article explores the duty of confidentiality the duty to communicate with the client and the duty to keep the clientrsquos funds and property safe and sepa-rate from the attorneyrsquos own assets

Duty of ConfidentialityWhen someone asks me what I do

for a living I tell them that I keep other peoplesrsquo secrets and solve their problems Keeping a clientrsquos secrets is the essence of this duty For attorneys to do their job effectively clients must feel comfortable revealing any information that might help solve their problem As the saying goes ldquoGarbage in garbage outrdquo

The obligation to keep a clientrsquos secrets extends beyond the attorney-client rela-tionship The duty continues to exist after the legal representation has ended and can also exist in some instances even if the client does not hire the attorney in the first place

Duty to CommunicateFor the most part attorneys are able to

uphold the duty of confidentiality without difficulty The duty to communicate however is more challenging Clients are entitled to prompt responses to reasonable inquiries about the status of their case and to be informed of significant develop-ments

In selecting an attorney to represent you you would be well served to ask questions about and observe the attor-neyrsquos practices in this regard Because of the number of cases I handle it would be difficult to field each clientrsquos calls per-sonally I delegate certain tasks to case clerks a paralegal or legal secretary to keep the cases moving forward Never-theless I let my clients know that if they desire to communicate directly with me for any reason all they have to do is ask I make every effort to return their call as soon as possiblemdashideally within two business days

If you find yourself feeling that you can never get a hold of your attorney and that he never returns your phone calls he is possibly breaching this ethical duty

Of course the duty is fulfilled so long as someone in the law office such as a legal secretary or paralegal is providing the desired information Still it is fair to expect the attorney to return phone calls when a client specifically asks to speak to him Therersquos a fine line between delegat-ing onersquos duties and abdicating them altogether

Duty Regarding the Clientrsquos Funds amp Property

This duty requires an attorney to keep full and accurate records of all client funds or property in their possession provide the clients with an account-ing of the funds and property and keep the clientrsquos funds and property separate from the attorneyrsquos For clients who pay attorneys an hourly or flat fee this duty does not typically cause problems At-torneys are most often tempted to breach this duty in cases where they have access to significant sums belonging to someone elsemdasheg personal injury cases and cases involving wills trusts or estates

The best way for clients to protect themselves and to assure that the attorney is abiding by this duty is to insist on an accounting of their assets In personal injury cases this includes paperwork showing how the settlement or judgment is being distributed as well as copies of any receipts or checks If the attorney hesitates in providing this information it could be a red flag that something is amiss

Attorneys are not created equal In hiring one do your homework ask ques-tions and choose wisely
