<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">PUWEDE ko namang habulin ang dumaang bus. Pero parang tinamad
akong tumakbo. Puno na rin naman ng pasahero at baka ang makasakay ko ay mga
amoy-pawis na kahit umaga pa lang. Ewan ko ba, nagiging ugali na ng mga Pinoy
ang katamaran sa paliligo at pagsesepilyo kahit marami namang tubig sa ating
bansa.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Hinintay ko na lang ang pagdaan ng susunod na bus. Habang nasa
ilalim ako ng puno na aking kinanlungan, bigla akong may naisip.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Ang pagsakay pala sa bus ay para ring kung paano tayo
makipagsapalaran sa ating buhay.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Kung minsan ay nagmamadali tayo kaya kahit mahirap ang biyahe
ng buhay na ating tinatahak ay sumasabak tayo. Para tayong pasahero na
nakikipaggitgitan sa marami marakarating lang sa pupuntahan kahit pa hindi
komportable ang puwesto natin sa sasakyan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Pero bakit nga ba tayo nagmamadali?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Dahil nagmamadali rin ang iba at gusto nating makasabay sa
kanilang pag-unlad?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Naghahabol na tayo sa oras dahil ginahol tayo sa paghahanda noong
may oras pa?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">O talaga lang gusto natin ang sitwasyon na kahit alam nating
siksikan na at mahirap sumakay, tsinatsambahan na lang natin ang kapalaran?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Ang byahe patungo sa pangarap ay laging masalimuot. Kung minsan,
ang sasakyan ng tadhana na para sa atin ay hindi natin alam kung may nakalaan
pa sa atin na upuan—o kailangan na lang nating sumabit para hindi tayo
maiwanan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Anyway, back to reality. Makalipas ang ilang minuto ay dumaan
na ang kasunod na bus at komportable akong nakaupo sa pagitan ng dalawang
mababango at bagong paligong kolehiyala. Kung ganito ang makakasakay ko
araw-araw, handa akong maghintay ng bus kahit medyo late na ako sa pupuntahan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
TEENAGER pa ako at nasa college na nang
mapanood ko ang isang binatang kapitbahay namin na malupit na hinihimay sa
kanyang gitara ang “The One You Love” ni Glenn Frey. Kausuhan noon ng nasabing
kanta. Nagkainteres akong mag-aral maggitara dahil doon.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Maramot ang binata. Ayaw akong
turuan, at ni ayaw akong pahawakin ng kanyang gitara.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Nanalo ako sa isang campus writing
contest. High school pa lang ay nananalo na ako sa writing contest bukod sa
track and field na siyang sport ko noon (Run, Forrest, run!). May nililigawan
palang teacher ang maramot na binata—na guro ko naman noong elementary. Nang malaman
niyang nakakasulat ako, igawa ko raw siya ng love letter.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
“Turuan mo akong maggitara,” sabi
ko sa kanya. “Igagawa kita ng love letter kay Ma’am.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
“Hindi lang kita tuturuan. Ibibigay
ko pa sa iyo ang isa kong gitara pag napaoo natin siya,” sagot naman niya.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Deal.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
At nagpalitan ng love letters ang
dalawa—na kahit magkapitbahay ay idinadaan pa sa post office. Mula sa
pagsasabing may gusto si binatang gitarista kay Ma’am hanggang maging sila na
nga—na umabot yata ng 10 palitan ng love letters—ay alam ko ang mga nangyayari
sa kanilang romansa. Kaya nang ipabasa ni binatang gitarista sa akin ang sagot
ni Ma’am na “Oo na nga, tayong dalawa na...” ay dala na rin niya ang isa niyang
“luma na” (termino sa Lumanog guitar na pinagsawaan na) at issue ng Jingle
Magazine kung saan nasa cover si Glenn Frey, at may kantang The One You Love
with chords sa loob. Ang saya-saya ni Karlo Cesar!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Nagkatuluyan ang dalawa. Nang ikasal
sila ay special guest nila ako noong gabi bago sila nagpunta sa hotel kung saan
sila magha-honeymoon. Sabi ni Ma’am sa akin, nagulat daw siya na dati pala niyang
estudyante noong elementary ang “nagpasagot” sa kanya. Siyempre, hindi na ako
sumama sa kanilang honeymoon. Later on ay nag-migrate na sila sa Amerika.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Ang malungkot na bahagi, hindi ako
natutong maggitara. Nakabisado ko lahat nang chords sa chart, pero wala ako sa
tiyempo. Hindi ko rin makanta ang The One You Love dahil wala ako sa tono.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
May naging kaibigan akong faith
healer bago ako lumuwas ng Maynila. Ibinigay ko sa kanya ang gitara para turuan
naman niya akong manghuli ng multo.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
May koneksyon pa rin ang love
letter, gitara at multo sa naging buhay ko.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Love letter—dahil naging editor ako
ng Extra Komiks ng Atlas na karamihan ay love story ang laman. Isa ako sa
iilang lalaking naging romance writer in Filipino. Up to now, editor ako ng mga
kuwento tungkol sa love.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Gitara—sa kabila ng kawalan ko ng
talent sa music ay ilang songhits magazines na concept ko ang sumikat at nagpayaman
sa publishers ng Risingstar.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Ghost hunting—naging editor ako ng
komiks na True Ghost Stories ng Atlas; ng Nginiig! at Sindak! ng ABS-CBN; at
Ghost Mini Pocketbook (na, again, ay isa sa nagpayaman sa publishers ng
Risingstar).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Goodbye, Glenn Frey. Hindi tayo
magkakilala, pero isa ako sa mga nagmahal sa musika mo.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

<a href="http://s163.photobucket.com/albums/t309/kc013_photos/?action=view&current=lovestory.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t309/kc013_photos/lovestory.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
HINDI rin masasabing first love. Mas tamang sabihin na noon ako unang humanga sa isang kagandahan.<br />
Fourth year high school ako noon, mid 80s. Second year high school naman siya. Tawagin na lang natin sa pangalang Paris—dahil para siyang Pinay version ni Paris Hilton; maganda at maamo ang mukha, diretso ang mahabang buhok, balingkinitan, matangkad para sa isang 14 years old—and unlike the original Paris, masyado siyang mahinhin.<br />
Kapag umaga ay dumaraan siya sakay ng dyip papasok sa private school sa kabayanan. Ako naman ay naglalakad patungo sa barangay high school. Sa hapon, ganoon din ang eksena; sakay siya ng dyip papauwi sa kanila, nagmamadali naman ako sa paglalakad dahil naghihintay na ang mga nagugutom kong alagang manok, kambing at baka.<br />
Sa bawat eksenang ganito ay nagtatama ang aming mga mata… at nagkakangitian. Mula Lunes hanggang Biyernes ay paulit-ulit ang eksenang ganito at ang ngiti niya ay parang aurora borealis na nagbibigay ng liwanag sa aking buhay. <br />
Sabi ng isa kong pinsan ay nangangarap lang daw ako nang ikuwento ko sa kanya si Paris. Huwag daw akong maghangad ng mataas.<br />
May katwiran siya. Mayaman sina Paris at ako’y hamak na anak ng magsasaka. Langit at lupa ang pagitan. Ngunit malakas ang loob ko na ang pakikipagpalitan niya ng ngiti sa akin ang unti-unting gumigiba sa kung anumang pader na nakapagitan sa amin.<br />
Ayokong isipin ninyo na masyado akong egotistical, male chauvinist pig. Sa aking palagay, noon ay hindi naman ako alangan kay Paris kung hitsura ang pag-uusapan. Hindi ako katangkaran, pero I could pass as a boy next door when I was younger. Maganda ang performance ko sa school at kahit ako’y payat ay masyado akong athletic. Sabi nga ng mga kaklase kong babae noon, kung may pera lang daw ako sa bulsa, boyfriend material na.<br />
Minsang bumibili ako ng kerosene sa tindahan ay nagkataon na bumibili rin si Paris ng folder at coupon bond. Nag-‘hi!’ ako sa kanya at nagsukli naman siya ng mahinhing ‘hello…’ Itinanong ko kung para saan ang binibili niya, may project daw siyang tatapusin. Nang itanong naman niya kung para saan ang kerosene na binili ko, bigla akong naging makata. Sabi ko sa kanya, sisindihan ko sana ang sarili ko kung hindi niya ako kinausap. Nagpakawala siya ng masarap na tawa. Feeling ko noon, sa maikling interaction na iyon, close na agad kami. <br />
Naging simula iyon ng pagbabantay ko sa kanya sa tindahan at pagpapalitan namin ng maliliit na kuwento kapag natitiyempuhan ko siya roon. Mahilig pala siyang magbasa ng Mills and Boon series. Naisip kong mag-ipon ng pabeinte-beinte singko sentimos para mabilhan ko siya bilang regalo. Tinitipid ko ang baon ko para lang masorpresa siya kapag nabili ko na ang latest edition.<br />
Minsan ay maglakas-loob akong sabihin sa kanya na ihahatid ko siya pauwi sa kanila. Pumayag naman siya. Habang daan ay nagkukuwento siya ng tungkol sa mga nababasa niyang pocketbooks. Nang bigla ay mapahinto siya sa paglalakad… at namutla. Makakasalubong pala namin ang kanyang ina.<br />
Bata pa ang kanyang ina noon, early 40s. Kahawig niya, at kung sa panahon ngayon, nasa kategorya ng isang hot mama. Agad nameywang ang kanyang ina, at sa pagkagulat ko, bago pa man lang ako nakapagmagandang hapon ay binanatan na ako ng mura—at mga panlalait na ‘ika nga sa aming baryo ay hindi kayang kainin ng aso.<br />
“P@#$%$^^^&&*(@#!” sigaw ng ina ni Paris sa akin na ang dulo ng hintuturo ay halos isundot sa aking mata. “Nanliligaw ka sa anak ko ay wala nga kayong makain! Tingnan mo nga ang hitsura mo! Tigilan mo’ng anak ko! P@#$%$^^^&&*(@#!”<br />
Wala akong naisagot kahit ano. Napaiyak si Paris at nagtatakbo papauwi. Napahiya siguro sa akin. Bago sumunod sa kanya ang kanyang ina ay sinabihan pa ako na layuan ang anak niya. “May kinabukasan ang anak ko, huwag mong balasubasin!” sigaw pa ng matapobreng ale.<br />
Habang papauwi ako, noon ko lang naramdaman ang maawa sa aking sarili. Bakit sa buong maghapon ay para naman akong sinagasaan ng malas? Bakit puro panlalait ang nakuha ko ay hindi naman Friday the 13th?<br />
Noong umaga kasi sa klase, pinagdadala kami ng titser namin sa PE ng basahan. Wala akong dala. Nang tanungin niya ako kung bakit wala akong basahan, isang kaklase ko ang sumagot, “Suot po kasi niya, ma’am!” At nagtawanan ang buong klase.<br />
Hindi kasi ako nakakabili ng damit noon at tatlong pirasong kamisetang puti lang ang pinagpapalit-palit ko sa buong linggo. Open book naman sa aming school kung gaano kami kahirap noon. At sa mga pagkakataong tulad nito, kung may project o kontribusyon, siguradong magiging object of ridicule ako dahil lagi akong hindi nakakapagbigay.<br />
Dahil napagtawanan ako sa klase, oras ng recess ay lumapit ako sa isang kaklase ko na nagsisigarilyo. Hindi pa ako nakakahawak man lang ng yosi noon. Pahingi naman ‘kako ng isang stick at makapag-alis ng sama ng loob. Binugahan niya ako ng usok sa mukha at mapanlait na, “Kung magbibisyo ka, ang una mong pag-aaralan ay ang magkaroon ng perang pambili! Huwag ‘yang ganyang nanghihingi ka! Masamang tingnan na magsisigarilyo ka nguso lang ang dala mo!”<br />
Gusto ko siyang bigyan ng suntok sa sikmura pero naisip kong tama naman siya. Ang hindi lang tama ay ang sobrang pagka-sarcastic niya. Gayunpaman, ramdam na ramdam ko ang pagkapahiya. Strike two.<br />
Mas masakit ang strike three. Ayon sa aking adviser, dahil ilang linggo na lang at graduation na, baka raw hindi ako makasama sa honor roll dahil hindi pala ako miyembro ng Kabataang Barangay. Iniisip ko pa naman na kung gagradweyt ako na honor student, redeeming factor iyon sa mahabang panahon na panlalait sa akin ng aking mga kaklase.<br />
Ang ikaapat, nakausap ko ang coach na nagbubuo ng team kung saan kasali ako para sa inter-barangay summer basketball league. Inalis na raw niya ako sa mga player niya dahil wala pa akong uniform ay malapit na ang parada. <br />
At ang pinakahuli nga, ang insidente sa mommy ni Paris.<br />
Iniisip ko kung ano ang kinain ko noong umaga at inararo naman akong masyado ng malas. Murphy’s Law. Kung alam ko lang na I was into a series of rude awakenings, hindi na muna sana ako bumangon sa higaan.<br />
Ang lalong nagpalungkot sa akin, ibinalita ng isa kong pinsan na ipinagkakalat pala kung kani-kanino ng mommy ni Paris ang ginawang panghihiya sa akin. Kaya pala bawat kapitbahay namin ay napapatingin sa akin.<br />
Pero okey lang. magsasaka ako pero halaman lang ang aking itinatanim, hindi sama ng loob. Hindi rin ako nagbalak makabawi balang araw; ni hindi ako nagbitaw ng mga katagang babangon ako’t dudurugin kita, o kaya’y bukas luluhod ang mga tala. Ang tanging konsolasyon ko, kausuhan noon ng USA for Africa/We Are the World at kumpara sa mga nagugutom sa Africa ay mas masuwerte pa rin ako. And it was the 80s; the fashion sucks but the music is inspiring. Ang national anthem ko ay ang Never Surrender ni Corey Hart. Inspiring din ang Bagets movie ni Maryo J. Delos Reyes kung saan naka-relate ako sa karakter ni Herbert Bautista, at ang Karate Kid na ang mensahe ay kahit mahina ka ay kaya mong lumaban. Walang panahon para maging emo; life must go on. Nagbuo ako ng isang resolusyon kahit hindi New Year: Forget Paris.<br />
Kaya nawala na sa eksena ang umaga at hapong pagngingitian namin ni Paris. Ang iniipon kong pambili ng Mills and Boon paperback para sa kanya ay ginamit ko sa mga project sa school, hindi ko na rin pinakokopya ang kaklase kong maramot sa sigarilyo, at hindi baleng magtapos akong walang honors.<br />
Nagkaroon na rin ako ng konting pride. Naisip ko rin, hindi excuse ang pagiging poor para maging masyadong mabait. Nang magsimula ang inter-barangay ay kinukuha akong scorer ng aming coach. Kahit adik ako sa basketball ay tumanggi ako. Kumbaga, hindi na nga ako inimbita sa kainan paghuhugasin naman ako ng plato? <br />
Nakatuon na ang atensyon ko noon sa pagpasok sa college. Kumuha ako ng two-year technical course at masasabi kong mas okey ang buhay college ko kaysa high school. Na-develop na nang todo ang interes ko sa Filipino language at naging staff ako ng college paper. Ibinuhos ko ang panahon sa pagbabasa at pagsusulat at halos lahat yata ng contest ay napanalunan ko—hindi lang ang beauty contest dahil wala naman akong planong maging si Bebe Gandanghari. <br />
Nakikita ko pa rin si Paris, may mga guys na naghahatid na sa kanya. Hindi ako nasasaktan; I’m past the Romeo and Juliet stage of my life, at mas priority ko na ang makatapos ng pag-aaral agad at matubos ang lupa namin na napasangla na sa bangko.<br />
Hindi na ako nag-attend ng graduation sa college at naghanap na agad ako ng trabaho sa Maynila. Nakipanirahan bilang alilang-kanin sa mga kamag-anak pansamantala. May dramatikong pangyayari kung bakit ako nakarating sa Atlas Publishing pero saka na lang iyon. Bago matapos ang dekada 80, ang pinakamaapoy na dekada sa buhay ko, naging editor ako sa komiks. Dito na nagsimula ang maraming pagbabago sa buhay ko.<br />
Masyado ng mahaba, okey lang bang mag-fast forward na ako?<br />
So, bihira na akong makauwi sa aming baryo. Minsang umuwi ako ay may tsismis pa akong nasagap. Nabuntis pala si Paris pero hindi pinakasalan ng lalaki. Nalungkot ako para sa kanya. Ang huling balita ko kasi bago ito, nagtatrabaho siya sa isang department store sa Makati. Doon yata nakilala ang lalaking nanloko sa kanya.<br />
Para namang sinadya ng pagkakataon, nang paluwas na ako sa Maynila ay nakasakay ko pa siya sa dyip. Magkatapat kami. Buntis na nga. Wala akong nasabi sa kanya. Panay naman ang iwas niya ng tingin sa akin. Maganda pa rin siya subalit wala na ang sigla sa mga mata dala ng kahihiyang sinapit. Nabalitaan ko rin nang manganak siya.<br />
Ewan kung bakit lagi kaming nagkakatagpo sa dyip. Dahil siguro sa ganoong eksena kami nagsimula. Minsang dumalaw ako sa aking parents ay nakasabay ko uli siya dala ang kanyang baby. Gano’n muli ang eksena namin na parehong nag-iiwasan ng tingin kahit magkatapat. Sa haba ng byahe ay nagutom yata ang baby at umiyak. Wala pa naman siyang dalang bote ng gatas kaya napilitan siyang ilabas ang kanyang boobs at magpadede! Sa napaka-awkward na sitwasyon na iyon, kahit malayo pa ako sa amin ay nagpara na ako at bumaba bitbit ang dalawang balde ng biscuit na pasalubong ko sa aking mga kamag-anak.<br />
Sa nangyari kay Paris ay nabawasan din ang pagkapalalo ng kanyang mommy. Isang pinsan kong babae ang nagsabing nakakuwentuhan niya ang ina ni Paris at nabalitaan na medyo nagkatrabaho na ako (I’m keeping a low profile here). Sayang nga raw kasi nanligaw raw ako kay Paris… sana ako na lang daw ang nakatuluyan ng anak niya. Ang tanong pa raw sa pinsan, kung sakali raw bang magpakita akong muli ng interes kay Paris, wala raw kayang masabi ang parents ko? Okey lang daw kaya sa mga oldies ko kahit may anak na si Paris? Nabaligtad na ang sitwasyon. Sa akin na siya naninimbang ngayon.<br />
On my part, okey lang siguro. Pag mahal mo ang isang tao, mamahalin mo kung ano siya, kung ano man ang nakaraan niya. Pero binura na ng panahon ang pahina ng aking aklat kung saan kasama si Paris since during that time I was already dating a Salma Hayek look-alike… and eventually became the girl I am now sharing the rest of my life with. O, kinilig kayo, ha?<br />
Hindi naman naging todong malupit ang kapalaran kay Paris. Nakatagpo rin siya ng lalaking magtototoo sa kanya at sa pagkaalam ko’y nagpakasal sila. Medyo may edad nga lang ‘yung lalaki. Halos kasing-edad ng matapobre niyang mommy. Kapag may mga okasyon sa aming baryo gaya ng fiesta, semana santa, etc na napapadalaw ako ay nakikita ko pa rin siya. ‘Yun nga lang, we totally became strangers to one another. Walang ‘hi’, walang ‘hello.’ <br />
Hindi rin naman ako nagtanong kahit minsan sa sarili ko ng ‘what if’ naging kami. Kung may damdamin man kami noon sa bawat isa, naging parang passenger plane na bago pa man nakapag-take off ay pinasambulat na ng mga terorista.<br />
O parang St. Elmo’s Fire na bago pa nakapagpamangha sa nakakita ay naging kidlat na sumambulat at pumatay sa kanya.<br />
But there were times that I do remember Paris with fondness. Dahil sa kanya ay marami akong natutunan sa buhay. And with that, hindi ko man siya naging first love at hindi man tuluyang umusbong ang aming mga murang damdamin noon, para sa kanya, maraming salamat… At sana’y gaya ko ay masaya rin siya sa piling ng lalaking minahal niya.<br />
I don’t know kung ano ang naging estado ko sa puso niya. Iniisip ko na lang na siguro sa nakalipas na panahon, ang naging bahagi ko sa buhay niya ay gaya na lang ng isang linya sa awitin ni Joey Albert: “I remember the boy, but I don’t remember the feelings anymore…”</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">NANG lumabas ang issue tungkol sa kontrobersyal na Makati
City Hall-slash-Parking Lot building, na ang contractor ay ang Hilmarc’s
Cosntruction Corporation, parang may pamilyar na tunog, ‘ika nga, ng kampana na
umalingawngaw sa magkabilang tainga ko. At iyon na nga, naalala kong naging
bahagi ako ng kumpanyang ito.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Hindi ako naging empleyado ng Hilmarc’s, sa halip ay sa
isang kumpanya na pag-aari ng pamilya nila ako naging bahagi—ang Corazon
Publishing na nasa ilalim naman ng isa pang kumpanya nila, ang Trinitas
Publishing. Year 2002 noon.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Ang Trinitas Publishing ay isang publication ng mga
textbooks. Nang magplano silang maglabas ng pocketbooks at songhits magazines ay
itinayo nila ang Corazon Publishing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Noong umpisa ay sa mismong opisina ng Hilmarc’s sa E.
Rodriguez kanto ng New York Street sa may Cubao, Quezon City naroon ang
editorial office ng Corazon. Kasa-kasama namin ang mga engineers, artchitects at
iba pang empleyado nila. Tahimik ang lugar, laging busy ang mga empleyado. Isa
sa mga enjoy na enjoy ako ay ang kanilang canteen. Masasarap at mura ang mga
pagkain. Nang ma-recognize ng kanilang chef ang pangalan ko at nagkataong may
mga nobela pala ako sa komiks na sinubaybayan niya noong nasa Atlas Publishing pa
ako, laging puno ang lalagyan ko ng ulam pag umo-order ako, bukod pa ang
paminsan-minsang libreng meryenda.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Nang maisaayos na ang condominium unit na talagang
nakalaan para sa editorial ay lumipat na kami sa may Hillcrest Street, along E.
Rodriguez pa rin. Sa Corazon Publishing ay nakapagsulat sina Tita Opi
Concepcion, Vincent Kua, Benjie Valerio, Flora Simon Rivera, Diana Morrow, Beth
Rivera, Ron Mendoza, Nadz Tabuso, Maureen Pelayo at ang ngayon ay sikat na
sikat na PHR writer na si Camilla. Karamihan sa kanila noon ay gumamit ng pen
names. May mga baguhan din noon na nabigyan ko ng break sa pagsusulat.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Naging staff ko naman ang mga mula sa sister companies ng
GASI na sina Ruby Solano at Cecille Carillo—na sa pagkaalam ko ay niligawan ng
mga bigating comics illustrators na sina Randy Valiente at Rommel Fabian.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Naging close ako sa panganay na anak ng mga may-ari ng
Hilmarc’s, si Edong. Kahit engineering graduate ay mahusay siyang mag-layout.
Si Edong ang gumawa ng company logo at masthead ng mga products. Kung minsan ay
siya na rin ang naglalatag ng cover. Noong time na iyon ay nagrre-review na
siya para sa board exams.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Maayos naman ang takbo ng sirkulasyon ng mga produkto
palibhasa’y kokonti pa ang kumpetisyon noon at maganda pa ang sitwasyon ng
pagpa-publish lalo na ng pocketbooks at songhits. Nabago lang ang lahat nang
manalo ang Trinitas sa bidding para sa textbooks at ipinasa sa editorial team
ng Corazon ang trabaho. Sabi ng management sa akin, doon muna kasi sa
siguradong kita. Kaya nag-shift kami sa textbooks.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Ilang buwan din naming inasikaso ang mga textbooks na ang
mga nagsulat ay pawang mga PhDs at may masterals na ayaw na ayaw na may
babaguhin ako sa kanilang mga sinulat. Kakaibang karanasan din ang makatrabaho
ang mga ganitong matataas ang pinag-aralan—at ego. Gayunpaman, naitawid namin
nang maayos ang proyekto at natapos namin bago ang deadline sa Department of
Education.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Balik na sana uli kami sa pocketbooks at songhits nang
magkaroon ng panibagong development. May expansion ang Hilmarc’s at kailangan
kaagad ng bagong office. Ang desisyon, ilipat ang Corazon sa Bulacan kung saan
nakabase ang Trinitas Publishing. Dahil masyadong malayo, nagpaalam na muna ako
gayundin ang iba kong staff na Metro Manila-based. Hindi ko kaya ang Monday to
Friday na pagko-commute sa ganoon kalayong destinasyon ng trabaho. Later on
naman ay napapunta na ako sa Manila Times.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Ilang buwan lang ako sa Corazon pero masasabi kong
maganda ang pamamalakad nila sa mga empleyado. Naipaghulog nila kami sa SSS
pero hindi kinaltasan at binuwisan ang aming suweldo. Nang magpaalam kami ay
binigyan pa kami ng separation pay kahit wala pa kaming isang taon sa kanila.
Kumbaga, napakaayos ng paghihiwalay. Gusto pa nga nila akong bigyan ng project
na sa bahay ko gagawin, pero hindi ko na naipagpatuloy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Madalas ko ring makasalamuha noon ang mag-asawang may-ari
ng Hilmarc’s. Ang lalaki ay tahimik lang, napakasimpleng tao at minsan na may
bara ang lababo sa opisina ay siya pa mismo ang nag-ayos. Makuwento naman ‘yung
babae at relihiyosa. At dahil ako’y mapagpanggap, pag alam kong may meeting
kaming dalawa ay magbabasa muna ako ng mga berso sa Bibliya, mememoryahin at
isisingit iyon sa aming huntahan—na labis niyang ikinatutuwa.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Noon pa man ay marami na silang construction projects—at
talagang maganda na ang buhay nila dahil may eskuwelahan pa sila sa Bulacan at
housing projects. Minsan ay naisasakay ako ng lalaki sa magagara nilang
sasakyan. Nagkaroon din kami ng company outing sa Pundaquit, Zambales kung saan
may napakaganda silang resort.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Sa kontrobersyal na issue ng Makati Linkin Park, este,
Makati Building, ang hirap mag-isip kung saan ako papanig sapagkat nakita ko
ang mga positibong bahagi ng Hilmarc’s at ng mga taong nakapaloob dito. Kung
pupuntahan ninyo ang kanilang website ay makikita ninyo ang iba pa nilang
proyekto na bukod sa magaganda na ay hindi naman balot ng kontrobersya.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Umaasa akong malalagpasan ng Hilmarc’s ang isyung ito.
Sabagay, hindi naman talaga sa kanila nakatuon ang pansin ng publiko kundi sa
mga taong kumuha ng kanilang serbisyo na may iba yatang motibo kaya ipinatayo
ang nasabing gusali.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">MAY
“phobia” si Misis kapag nakakakita ng paru-parong mariposa sa loob ng aming
bahay. Nagsimula ito noong 2008 nang habang namamalantsa siya ay may dumapong
mariposa sa kanya. Napasigaw pa siya dahil matatakutin siya sa mga insekto.
Makalipas ang ilang sandali ay nag-ring ang aming telepono. Isang kamag-anak
niya ang nasa linya at nagbabalita na ang paborito niyang uncle ay namayapa
na—ilang minuto pa lang ang nakakalipas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Ilang
mariposa pa ang dumalaw sa aming bahay—at ang laging kasunod niyon ay ang
balitang may kamag-anak siyang namayapa.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Binigyan
niya tuloy ng kahulugan na ang ganoong pangyayari ay lagi niyang naiiugnay sa
isang malapit sa amin na namayapa na. Ako naman, bagaman at may kaunti ring
pamahiin sa katawan, ay laging sinasabi sa kanya na baka nagkakataon lamang.
Pero sabi nga niya, kung nagkakataon lang, bakit palagi naman?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Noong
August 5 ng gabi, habang paakyat ako sa aming hagdan ay sinalpok ako sa mukha
ng malaking mariposa. Bigla akong kinabahan pero binalewala ko lang iyon.
Nakita rin pala ni Misis na noon ay kasunod ko sa pag-akyat ang nasabing
paru-paro. Sigaw niya, “Ay, mariposa! Saan galing ‘yan?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Hindi
ako sumagot at pilit binalewala ang nangyari. Pero aaminin kong may kabang biglang
bumundol sa aking dibdib, lalo pa nang sabihin niyang sino na naman kaya ang
namaalam?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Tatlong
kapatid kong babae ang medyo hindi okey ang kalusugan sa ngayon. Ang isa ay
kasama sa aksidente sa JAM kamakailan, malubhang nasugatan at patuloy na nasa
ospital. Ang isa ay na-mild stroke habang ang isa naman ay sadyang hinain ang
katawan. Ang isip ko ay natutuksong mangumusta sa kanila kahit gabi na para
lang makatiyak ako na wala ni isang sinamang-palad sa kanila noon. Ito ang
naglalaro sa isip ko dahil tiyak na walang nangyari sa side ni Misis dahil
maagap silang magbalita. Ang mga kamag-anak ko naman o kadugo, kung mabalitaan
kong pumanaw na ay kung kailan nailibing na pala. Pero nanaig sa akin ang huwag
maniwala sa mariposa. Nagkataon lang, pilit kong isinisiksik sa isip.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Nawala
na sa isip ko kinabukasan ang tungkol sa mariposa. Lunch time ay nakatanggap
ako ng text mula sa isa kong pamangkin. Napanganga ako nang mabasa ko ang
mensahe. Isa sa mga best friend at kumpare ko ang namatay noong gabi!
Naaksidente sa motorsiklo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Sobra
akong nalungkot...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Ang
kaibigan/kumpare kong ito ay matagal kong kasa-kasama at kalaro noong mga bata
pa kami. Matanda ako sa kanya ng tatlong taon. Nagkahiwalay lang kami nang
magkatrabaho na siya at ako naman ay lumuwas ng Maynila. Sa tagal ng aming
paghihiwalay ay nagkita lang kami nang kunin niya akong ninong ng panganay na
anak niya. Maysakit ako noon at kalalabas lang ng ospital, pero dahil sa hiya
ko sa kanya ay pinilit kong maka-attend ng binyagan—na labis naman niyang
ikinatuwa. At dahil yata sa sobrang tuwa, may mga piyesa siya ng binubuong
owner-type jeep na hindi na raw niya itutuloy dahil may AUV na siya, kunin ko
na lang daw at ako na ang magbuo. Hindi ko na rin naman nabalikan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Maganda
ang naging buhay niya dahil pareho silang may trabaho na mag-asawa at
nakapagpatayo agad ng bahay. Iyon nga lang, wala na akong naging balita sa
kanya at kung ilan ang naging anak niya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Iyon
na rin pala ang huli naming pagkikita...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Hindi
na ako nakapunta sa libing niya kaya lalo akong nalungkot. Humingi na lang ako
ng sorry sa kanya, at nangakong lagi kong aalalahanin ang aming kabataan. Ang
masayahin niyang personalidad, ang magandang direksyon sa buhay.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Sana
rin ay maging babala sa lahat nang nagmomotorsiklo ang nangyari sa kanya. Lagi
na ay nasa panganib kapag sa sasakyang dalawa lang ang gulong ka sakay kahit
gaano ka pa kaingat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">At
ang tungkol sa mariposa, na sabi nga ni Misis ay hindi pa sumasablay sa
pagpapahiwatig, marahil nga ay nagparamdam ang kaibigan ko sa akin. Natutuwa
naman ako. Ibig lang sabihin, isa ako sa mga espesyal na tao sa naging journey
niya sa mundo dahil noong oras na binawian siya ng buhay ay isa ako sa kanyang
unang dinalaw.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Rest
in peace, Eli, my friend and kumpare... Nasa sinapupunan ka nang muli ng Maykapal,
sa isang bahagi na puno na ng kapayapaan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">NOONG isang araw ay tumunog ang
aking cellphone. May tumatawag. Hindi nakalista sa aking contacts ang number
kaya hindi ko sinagot. Allergic na kasi ako sa mga tawag na wala sa aking phone
book. Kung minsan ay mga pamangkin ko lang na nanghihingi ng load, o kaya ay
kapatid na nanghihingi naman ng pambili ng gamot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Hindi naman tayo nagmamaramot. Kung
minsan lang kasi ay hassle lalo na kung may importanteng ginagawa.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Anyway, walang tigil sa katatawag
ang may-ari ng number. Dahil iniisip kong baka naman ma-low batt ako ay sinagot
ko na lang. Inipit ko ang aking boses para kunwari, kung sakali, ay namali lang
ng pindot ang natawag.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Pag-hello ko, sabi ng nasa kabilang
linya: “Pare!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Inisip ko kung kaninong boses iyon
sa mga kumpare ko pero wala akong matandaan na ganoong boses. Sa ipit na tinig
pa rin ay tinanong ko siya: “Sino ‘to?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Si Ricardo ito, pare...” sagot
niya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Na-realize kong hindi ko siya
kilala. Wala akong acquaintance o kaya ay kumpare na Ricardo ang pangalan.
Magalang kong sabi sa kanya sa ipit pa ring boses, “Wrong number po.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Tumawa siya. Sa pagkagulat ko, ang
sumunod niyang sinabi, “Bakla ka, ano?” At humalakhak siya nang malakas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Okey, inakala niyang gay ako dahil
sa inipit kong boses. Malaki ang boses ko at nang minsang mag-guest ako sa DZJV
sa Laguna ay pinansin iyon ng isang lady DJ at sinabing puwede raw akong
announcer. I never thought na pag inipit ko pala ang aking bedroom voice ay
boses beki na ako.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“O...” patuloy ng lalaki. “Hindi ka
na nagsalita. Bakla ka, di ba?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">That got into my nerve. Hindi naman
sa ayokong mapagbintangan akong bakla kundi dahil sa pitik ng pananalita niya
ay para bagang isang krimen ang maging bakla. Sabi ko sa kanya, “May problema
ba kung bakla ako? Kasalanan ba iyon?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Ang lakas ng tawa niya. “Sabi ko na
nga bakla ka, eh!” at hindi matapus-tapos ang tawa niya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Tutal ay hindi naman ako ang
mauubusan ng load ay hinayaan ko lang siya. Sa dami na rin ng mga nakatalo kong
salbahe—pisikal man o verbal—lagi akong nakakapuntos sa huli. Alam kong later
on ay mabibingguhan ko rin siya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Tagasaan ka, beki?” tanong niya sa
mapang-asar na tinig.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Quiapo...” sagot ko.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Talaga?” naramdaman ko ang
excitement sa boses niya. “May kilala ka bang Usmad?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Saan ba si Usmad dito sa Quiapo?”
tanong ko.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Malapit lang sa simbahan. May
atraso ‘yan sa akin, eh,” bahagyang nagkaroon ng galit sa tinig niya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Anong atraso?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Eh, kinasuhan ako ng tarantadong ‘yan,
eh!” sigaw niya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Anong kaso?” kaswal kong tanong.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“E-estafa...” nauutal niyang sambit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Well, it takes a veteran journalist
to realize if the person he’s conversing is telling the truth or not.
Naramdaman ko, batay sa mga factors na sinabi niya na posibleng hindi estafa
ang ikinaso sa kanya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Sumabit ka sa droga, ano?” tanong
ko sa kanya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Hindi siya sumagot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Kinargahan ko ang tanong sa kanya. “Ilang
taon ang senstensya sa ‘yo? Mabigat na kaso ang drug pushing.” Sa ngayon ay
ina-assume kong nasa kulungan na siya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Wala na ang bravado sa boses niya
nang sumagot. “S-sampung taon, pare...” aniyang nauutal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Bingo!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Ngayon, ako naman ang nasa opensiba.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Isa siyang bilanggo. Inisip kong
nag-trial dial lang siya kung may sasagot sa number na tsinambahan niya. Huwag
na tayong magtaka kung kahit preso ay cellphone, nangyayari ito lalo na kung
gaya niya na dating pusher at may koneksyon sa sindikato—maliit man o big time.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Napangiti ako sa naisip na pangganti
sa kanya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Ilang taon ka ‘kamo riyan sa loob?”
tanong ko sa kanya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Sampu...” malungkot niyang sagot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Diyan ka na mamamatay,” walang pusong
sabi ko sa kanya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Naramdaman ko ang pagkabigla sa
boses niya nang sumagot. “Ha? Bakit mo nasabi?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Tumawa ako. Ako naman ang kriminal
ngayon. “Eh, marami na akong beses nakarating ng bilangguan. ‘Yung mga preso na
nakikita ko, diyan na namamatay.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Hindi mangyayari sa akin ‘yun!”
maagap niyang sagot. “Pitong taon na nga lang, laya na ako.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“’Yung mga huling taon ang delikado,”
sabi ko naman sa kanya. “Kasi hihina na ang katawan mo, pati resistensya. Pag
tinamaan ka ng pigsa sa puwet, damay pati bituka mo niyon. Diretso kamatayan na
‘yun. Mabubulok na lahat nang laman-loob mo...”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">May hinanakit sa boses niya nang
muling magsalita. “Pambihira ka, pare. Sa halip na pinalalakas mo ang loob ko
tinatakot mo pa ako.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Yun ang totoo, e. sinasabi ko lang
sa ‘yo.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Huminga siya nang malalim. “Sa halip
na palakasin mo ang loob ko, ganyan ka pa.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Ibinato ko sa kanya ang sisi. “Kanina
nang pinagbibintangan mo akong bakla ang saya-saya mo, ang yabang-yabang mo. Ngayon
sinabi ko lang ang posibleng maging kamatayan mo, naduwag ka na. Ganyan talaga
singilin ng tadhana ang mga nagbebenta ng droga. Nabubulok sa kulungan at diyan
na namamatay. Baka nga netx week tamaan ka na ng pigsa.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Nag-busy na ang linya niya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">After 10 minutes ay tumunog muli ang
cellphone ko. Ang kriminal muli. Sinagot ko.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Pare...” ngayon ay mahinahon na ang
boses niya. “Sorry kanina na sinabi kong bakla ka. Biro lang ‘yun. Malungkot
dito sa loob, puwede ba tayong maging magkaibigan?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Napangiti ako. At nagpasyang isagad
na ang pambibinggo sa kanya. “Huwag na lang, pare... Pag naging magkaibigan
tayo ay malulungkot lang ako dahil mami-miss kita...”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Nagulat siya. “Ha? Bakit mo ako
mami-miss?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Eh, kasi sabi ko nga sa ‘yo...
mamamatay ka na!” at ako naman ang humalakhak.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Hindi ko siya kita at hindi ko alam
ang hitsura niya pero parang nahuhulaan ko ang naging expression niya. ‘Ika nga
ni Vice ganda, “Boom, panis!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Matagal na akong naghahanap sa mga naging kaklase ko noong
college sa kursong Petroleum Refinery Maintenance Technician. Special course
iyon, (scholarship program) at walo lang kaming magkaklase. Monday, Tuesday and
Saturday ay nasa school kami. Wednesday to Friday ay trabaho na sa Caltex
Refinery. I guess ako ang pinakabata—at pinakapayat.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Twenty five years after our graduation ay wala na akong
naging balita sa kanila. Hindi na rin kami nagkita-kita. Wala ring na-absorbed
sa amin sa Caltex dahil nag-freeze hiring.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kahit sa net ay wala akong makita. Imposible namang hindi
sila marunong mag-computer dahil long before the first PC came into the
Philippines, nagde-design na kami ng circuit board, and we can even
troubleshoot the most sophisticated process instruments made by Texas and
Toshiba.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Naalala ko na ‘yung isa kong kaklase ay may kapatid na
dalaga noon na nag-cum laude sa isang college sa Batangas, and I met her
personally back then. I searched for her name and eureka, may FB siya. Good
thing na kahit married na siya, ginagamit pa rin niya ang maiden name niya.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nagpakilala akong classmate ng kapatid niya. Buti naman at
sumagot. Her brother daw is taking care of their sick mom who’s suffering from
cancer. Hindi siya sumagot nang itanong ko kung ilan na ang anak ni Classmate.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sa mga kaklase ko ay siya ang pinaka-close ko noon. Ang alam
ko’y nag-pursue siya ng engineering though di ko alam kung natapos niya.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Guwapo siya at kung sa panahon ngayon ay kahawig ni Joross
Gamboa. Sa FB ng utol niya ay nakakita ako ng isang picture na naka-tag siya.
Hindi ko halos siya makilala dahil sobrang naging mama ang hitsura at umitim
nang todo.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ibinigay ko sa sister niya ang number ko para tawagan ako o
mag-text. Still waiting for him to get in touch.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sa picture, ang
classmate ko ‘yung nasa left na naka-white at tumatagay. Back in college, hindi
siya bumabarik. Looks like he’s having a good time. Ang ale marahil ang nanay
niya na inaalagaan niya ngayon.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sana may makita pa akong iba kong kaklase.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">TUWING sasakay ako ng jeep ay may napapansin
ako—halos lahat nang kapasahero ko ay may nakasaksak na earphone sa kanilang
tainga. Either nakikipag-usap sa kanilang cellphone o nakikinig ng music.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Okey lang naman ito. Sa tindi ng trapik, mas
mainam mag-sound tripping kaysa mainip at uminit ang ulo sa usad pagong na
biyahe.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Pero hindi lang sa mga sasakyan laging
nakasaksak sa tainga ng ating mga kababayan ang kanilang earphone. Kahit sa
kanilang opisina o workplace ay nagiging habit na rin nila ito. May nabasa
akong balita na sa isang opisina ay ipinagbawal ang pakikinig sa music gamit
ang earphone sa oras ng trabaho—lalo pa’t hindi naman daw sila call center.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Kahit ang mga kababayan nating naghahalungkat
ng basura ay cool na cool sa pagsa-sound tripping habang nangangalakal. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Kaya masasabi natin na sa pamamagitan ng
earphone, talagang pantay-pantay ang mga Pinoy. Salamat din sa mga murang MP3
mula sa China, can afford na tayong magkaroon ng gadget na ito milyunaryo man tayo
o tambay.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Pero mainam ba itong laging nakasaksak sa
tainga ang earphone? Sa mga medical news na nababasa ko ay dapat daw ay mahina
lang ang volume. Kailangan din naman na pagpahingahin ang tainga. Hangga’t
maaari, after 30 minutes ay alisin muna.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Ang problema rito ay pag nasanay na laging
nakapasak sa tainga ang earphone na para bang bahagi na ito ng ating katawan.
Kagaya ng isang aplikante na nag-apply noon sa akin bilang layout artist. Nang
tawagin siya ng HR para makausap ko na, nang lumapit sa akin ay nakapasak sa
tainga ang earphone. Medyo napikon ako dahil parang walang modo dahil alam
naman niyang iinterbyuhin siya, hindi muna inalis.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Ang nakakabuwisit pa, tuwing magtatanong ako
ay aalisin niya sa isang tainga ang earphone. Pag sasagot, ibabalik uli.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Hindi ko na tinapos ang interview at sinabi
ko sa kanyang lubus-lubusin na muna ang pakikinig ng music bago maghanap ng
trabaho. Ang kumag naman, parang hindi apektado at basta na lang umalis sa
harap ko.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Isang pagkakataon naman na sakay muli ako ng
jeep. May dalagang nakaupo sa harapan, nasa likuran ako ng drayber. Tanung nang
tanong ang drayber kung saan bababa ang babae para masuklian niya, hindi
sumasagot dahil hindi yata naririnig. Nang hindi na nagsasalita ang drayber
saka tinanggal ang earphone at nagtanong, “Ano ‘yun, manong?” Natawa na lang
ang drayber.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Hindi roon natapos ang kuwento. Pagsapit sa
isang kanto ay bumaba ang babae. Sinundan namin siya ng tingin dahil nagkomento
ang drayber ng: “Ayaw muna kasing alisin ‘yung nakasalpak sa tainga.” Pagkasabi
niya noon ay nakarinig kami ng malakas na lagabog, sigawan ng mga tao at
langitngit ng preno.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Nasagasaan pala ang babae! Bigla raw tumawid
kahit go na. Nakita na lang naming pinagkakaguluhan siya at isinasandal sa may
bangketa.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Napaantanda tuloy ang drayber. “Diyos ko,
‘yung pasahero ko! Kanina pa kasi parang wala sa sarili dahil doon sa
pinakikinggan niya!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">At ilan lamang ito sa hindi mabilang na
anekdotang may kaugnayan sa paggamit ng earphone.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Mahilig din ako sa music, at may koleksyon
ako ng MP3 players, earphones at headphones. Pero hindi ako nakikinig kung
hindi rin lang break time o kapag nasa bahay ako at walang ginagawa.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Ang mga ganitong gadget ay for entertainment
purposes. Ibig sabihin, gamitin mo kapag nagre-relax ka, nakahiga sa bahay o
nasa isang lugar na ikaw lang. Puwede rin sa mahahabang biyahe. Pero ang
magsalpak ka ng earphone sa tainga kapag may kausap ka ay kabastusan. Panganib
naman kung naglalakad ka sa mga lugar na maraming nagdaraang sasakyan. Puwedeng
paborito mong kanta ang kasalukuyang nagpe-play, pero unahin mo ang iyong
kaligtasan.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Uulitin ko, cool ang makinig ng music o
anupaman gamit ang earphone, pero ilalagay natin sa lugar lalo pa’t tayong mga
Pinoy ay mahilig umabuso sa maraming bagay.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
MAY premonisyon o pangitain nga ba
ang komedyanteng si Arvin “Tado” Jimenez bago ito pumanaw?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Isang araw bago maganap ang
aksidente ay nag-post sa kanyang Instagram account si Tado ng larawan niya na
may caption na: "North o South.... cemetery".</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Mayroon din siyang librong “TADO
JIMENEZ (All About Myself, Not Yours). Sa cover ay nakalagay ang “1974 to ?” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Ang mga ito nga ba ay
pagpapahiwatig na nararamdaman niya ang nalalapit niyang wakas?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Tayong mga Pilipino ay mahihilig sa
mga ganitong pag-aanalisa kapag ang isang tao ay namatay na. Inaalam natin ang
kanyang huling mga aktibidad at mula roon ay iniuugnay natin kung nagkaroon ba
siya ng premonisyon o hindi. Sa madalas na sitwasyon, sinasabing nagkaroon nga.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Noong medyo bata-bata pa ako
nagkaroon ako ng interes sa mga bagay na may kinalaman sa pagtuklas ng psychic
powers ng isang tao dahil na rin sa isang magazine na hinawakan ko na ganito
ang tema. Napag-alaman ko sa mga nakikila kong professional psychics na lahat
tayo ay may third eye, iba-iba nga lang ang level. May sobrang taas, may iba
naman na minsan lang kung sumulpot. Dito na pumapasok ang premonisyon. Ang
minsang sulpot na iyon ng angking psychic power ay kadalasan umanong
nararamdaman ng isang taong malapit nang mamaalam sa mundo, at sa tuwina ay may
kinalaman iyon sa nalalapit niyang wakas.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Kung mga psychic ang tatanungin,
ang mga huling aktibidad ni Tado ay positibo na nagkaroon siya ng premonition.
At nakadaragdag iyon ng lungkot sa atin na mga tagahanga niya dahil ngayon lang
natin nalaman ang kahulugan ng kanyang mensahe.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Isang dati kong kasamahan sa isang
publication ang may kahindik-hindik ding karanasan ukol sa permonisyon. Dekada
70 raw noon at medyo maluwag pa sa EDSA. Summer vacation at kaga-graduate lang
nila ng high school kaya silang mga dating magkaklase ay panay ang lakwatsa.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Isang classmate nila na big time
ang mga magulang ang nakatanggap ng big time rin na graduation gift sa mga
ito—isang owner jeepney. Marunong nang magmaneho ang kanyang kaklaseng ito kaya
nang i-test drive ang owner jeepney ay siksikan silang buong tropa at binagtas
ang EDSA. Sigawan daw sila nang sigawan sa saya at ang tataas ng energy level.
Maya-maya ay napadaan sila tapat ng isang punerarya na may naka-display na mga
ataul. Bahagya raw nitong inihinto ang owner at minasdan ang mga kabaong.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Nagsalita raw ang kanyang kaklase
ng: “Pag ako ang natodas gusto ko ay ‘yung kulay blue!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Tawanan daw silang lahat, at muli
na nitong pinaharurot ang sasakyan.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Palibahasa’y mga kabataan at
maluwag ang daan kaya ang tulin ng kanilang takbo. Hanggang maya-maya ay
nagdeklara ito ng: “Walang preno! Walang preno!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Ang sigawan nila ng kasayahan ay
napalitan ng panic. Hanggang sa tumbukin nila ang isang poste ng kuryente. Ang
huli raw niyang namalayan ay umikot ang owner jeepney bago nagdilim ang lahat
sa kanya.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Sa ospital na siya nagkamalay pati
ang iba niyang mga kaklase. Ang masaklap, patay ang nagmamaneho.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Habang nakikipag-usap sila sa mga
magulang nito ay nabanggit nila ang sinambit nito nang mapatapat sila sa
punerarya. Sabi tuloy ng mga kamag-anak nito ay nagkaroon ng premonisyon ang
kanilang kaklase. At bilang pagtupad na rin sa nasambit nito, kulay blue nga
ang kinuhang ataul ng mga magulang para rito.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Nagkataon nga lang ba ang
pangyayaring ito gaya ng kay Tado o sa iba pa nating kakilala na sa ating
palagay ay nagkaroon ng premonisyon bago ang kanilang kamatayan?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
O mga halimbawa lang ito ng
pamosong kasabihang: “Be careful with what you wish for’?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">ISA ang insidenteng ito sa mga bagay na
hanggang ngayon ay nakasakay pa rin sa aking balikat at hindi ko maipagpag.
Marahil ay marami sa inyo ang makaka-relate sa kuwento kong ito.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Nakatanggap ako ng text message sa isang
numero na hindi nakalagay sa aking phone book. Nakuha raw niya ang number ko sa
isa kong pamangkin. Nagpakilala na anak daw siya ng isang pinsan ko na nasa
malayong probinsya. Dahil may load ako nang araw na iyon ay tinawagan ko ang
number.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Totoo naman ang sinabi niya. Katabi pa niya
noon ang kanyang ama na pinsan ko, at nagkausap kami. Sa pagkatanda ko, huli
kong nakita ang pinsan kong ito noong 1997 pa nang ilibing ang aking ina.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Hindi ko pa nakita kahit minsan ang anak na
ito ng pinsan ko. May asawa na rin ito at mga anak ayon sa kanyang kuwento.
Sinabi niyang pagluwas daw niya ng Maynila ay gusto niya akong makita. Sabi ko,
okey lang.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Makalipas ang ilang araw ay nag-text siya uli
sa akin. Nasa Maynila na raw siya. Saan ‘kako siya nag-i-stay. Nagulat ako nang
sabihin niyang sa Philippine General Hospital.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Sa pagpapalitan namin ng text messages ay
nalaman kong may cancer pala siya, at malala na. Wala na raw siyang buhok at
mahinang-mahina na. Puntahan ko raw siya.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Na-off ako sa sitwasyon. Mula kasi nang
parehong bawian ng buhay sa ospital ang aking ama’t ina ay nagka-phobia na ako
sa ospital. Ang aking ama ay halos dalawang linggong naratay, gayundin ang
aking ina bago binawian ng buhay. Sa haba ng mga panahon ng kanilang paghihirap
sa pakikipaglaban sa sakit ay iba’t ibang mukha rin ng naghihirap na mga pasyente
ang aking nakita. Sa kalunus-lunos na mga senaryong iyon, doon nagsimula ang
aking trauma na pumasok ng ospital o makakita ng maysakit. Kaya pag may kapatid
akong naoospital, sinasabi ko sa kanila na pasensya na kung di ako nakadalaw—at
alam naman nila ang aking predicament. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Nagdahilan na lang ako sa anak ng aking
pinsan na medyo busy pa ako sa trabaho at stay-in sa opisina. Kung kasama naman
‘kako niya ang kanyang ama, baka puwedeng magkita na lang kami ng tatay niya.
Pero ibang kamag-anak daw ang kasama niya.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Ang labis na nakabigla sa akin ay nang
sabihin niyang makikiusap muna siya na sa amin sila tutuloy dahil wala silang
matutuluyan. Nagka-migraine ako sa kanyang request.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Iba kasi ang sitwasyon sa probinsya kapag
manunuluyan ka. Malawak ang bakuran, may malalakaran o mapupuwestuhan ang mga
bisita sa labas. May mga kasama sa bahay na talagang taumbahay lang kaya may
mag-aasikaso ng pagluluto ng pagkain at ibang pangangailangan.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Dito sa Maynila ay iba...</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Sa kaso ko, maliit ang aming bahay na halos
kasya lang kaming mag-anak. Walang ibang matutulugan o mapupuwestuhan kahit isa
lang na bisita. Minsang dinalaw ako ng kaibigan kong galing South Korea,
naghanap pa ako ng murang otel na tutuluyan niya just to extend my hospitality.
At siyanga pala, bahay iyon ng aking misis—hindi sa akin.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Pero ngayon na medyo marami ang magiging
bisita, hindi ko alam ang gagawin. Kung makikipanuluyan, ibig sabihin ay medyo
magtatagal lalo pa’t yao’t parito sa PGH. Kaya nahihiya man ako, sinabi ko sa
kanya ang aking mga predikamento.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Iba rin ang mind-set ng kamag-anak na galing
probinsya. Ang akala ay pinagdadamutan agad pag tinanggihan. Nahalata ko iyon
sa naging reply niya sa akin. “Kung sino pa ang inaakala ko na makakatulong sa
amin siya pa palang tatanggi.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Na-off ako sa sitwasyon. May naramdaman din akong
tampo. Sa haba ng panahon na wala kaming naging komunikasyon, dumating siya
para magpatulong at hindi naman ako handa. Mabigat sa dibdib dahil kailangan
kong manimbang sa kasalukuyan kong kalagayan at sa damdamin niya. At sa
kalagayan niya ay alam kong sensitibo siya.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Mula noon ay lagi akong nakakatanggap ng text
messages ng panunumbat mula sa kanya—na kalaunan ay nakasanayan ko na. Ang
pinakahuling mensahe na natanggap ko: “Maramot kayo...”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Pumanaw na ang anak na ito ng pinsan ko.
Hindi ako makaharap sa kanyang ama dahil alam kong may tampo rin siya sa akin.
Gayunpaman, sabi ng isang kapatid ko, pag nagkikita sila ay kinukumusta naman
ako.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Dahil sa nangyari ay sinabihan ko ang mga
kapatid at pamangkin ko na huwag basta ibibigay kahit kaninong kamag-anak namin
ang number ko nang wala akong pahintulot. Ikinuwento ko sa kanila ang nangyari,
at ang malaking guilt na nasa dibdib ko ngayon kung hindi sana nalaman ng
namayapa ang aking contact number at nagkaroon kami ng maikling komunikasyon.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Kung mayroon kayong kuwento na kagaya ng
aking naging predikamento, hindi kayo nag-iisa. Marahil ay sadya lang may mga
pangyayari sa buhay natin na kahit di natin ginusto ay patuloy na kukurot at
duduro sa ating konsensya—isang pagkakataon na inakalang nagdamot tayo ng
tulong sa maling panahon at maling pagkakataon.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">ISANG lumang Facebook account ng isang
publication na connected ako dati ang paminsan-minsan ay binubuksan ko.
Tinitingnan ko ang updates ng ilan sa mga kakilala ko na friends ng account.
Marami ring friends ang account na iyon na hindi ko naman kilala at nagpa-add
lang; marahil ay mahigit isang libo.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Minsan ay biglang may nag-message sa akin na
nasa listahan ng friends pero hindi ko kilala. Ang tanong niya, “Puwedeng
mag-apply na writer?” Inayos ko lang ang composition ng sentence niya rito
dahil jejemon ang pagkakapag-message niya.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Reply ko sa kanya: “Sarado na po ang
publishing, mine-maintain ko lang itong FB account.”</span></div>

<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Makalipas ang ilang araw ay muli kong
binuksan ang account. Bigla uli siyang nag-message: “Puwedeng kunin ninyo akong
writer?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Sagot ko uli: “Sarado na nga po ‘yung
publishing, mine-maintain lang itong FB account.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Nagulat ako sa reply niya: “Eh, bakit ang
sungit mo? Para nagtanong lang, eh...”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Sinabi ko sa kanya na noong una naman siyang
magtanong ay malinaw na sinabi kong sarado na ang publishing. Akala ko naman
‘kako ay naunawaan niya. At dahil sarado na nga, paano ko siya matatanggap na
writer?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Ang reply niya: “Dami mong sinasabi! Wala
namang kuwenta ang publishing n’yo pati mga magazine n’yo!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Napangiti na lang ako. No sense makipagtalo
sa ayaw tumanggap ng paliwanag. Kaya nag-scroll na lang ako sa wall ng mga
posts.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Muli siyang nag-message: “Walang kuwenta
magazine n’yo! Sasabihin ko sa mga kaibigan ko na huwag bilhin ang magazine
n’yo!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

kasi nga di na kami nagpa-publish.”</span></div>

<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Sagot niya: “Basta sasabihin ko huwag na
kayong bilhin!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Sinabi ko sa kanya na mukhang may problema sa
kanyang reading comprehension. Bakit ‘kako hindi mag-sink in sa kanya na sarado
na, as in stop operation na ang publishing, wala na kaming nakatinda sa market,
at kahit magsulat siya, saan ko ilalabas? Mag-try ‘kako siya sa mga active pa
na publications. Puwede ko ‘kako siyang irekomenda sa iba na kakilala ko.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Sagot pa rin niya: “Walang kuwenta magazine
n‘yo!”</span></div>

bakit atat na atat kang magsulat dito?” At inulit ko kung may problema ba sa
kanyang reading comprehension.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Pinagmumura na niya ako. Babae siya kaya
hindi ko naman ginantihan ng mura. Sabi ko na lang sa kanya: “Bukod sa issue sa
iyong reading comprehension, mukhang hindi rin tama ang pagpapalaki ng mga
magulang mo sa ‘yo. Ang pagiging writer ay hindi nadadadaan sa pagiging
mataray. Hindi rin puwedeng ipilit. At pinakaimportante ay marunong kang
umunawa sa naririnig at nababasa.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Lalo siyang nagmura.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Again, walang sense makipagkomunikasyon sa
taong makitid ang utak kaya pinindot ko ang “block” sa pangalan niya. Hindi
masarap sa pakiramdam na minumura ka ng taong ni hindi mo kilala.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Make no mistake about it. Napaka-supportive
ko sa mga gustong magsulat at magdrowing. Habang may nade-develop akong mga
bagong talent, nakakatulong din sila sa akin kapag nagtatayo ako ng publishing.
May mga natulungan ako na negative din ang takbo ng utak at may mga attitude
problem, pero malalawak ang comprehension, at kung makipagtalo man sa akin ay
sa level na nagtatagpo pa rin ang aming idea sa iisang point. Pero itong
nag-message sa akin, bukod sa mali-mali na nga ang composition ng sentence ay
mukhang maliit pa ang utak. Sana pala ay napagawa ko ng sample story para
nalaman ko kung in or out.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Anyway, ang pagiging writer ay isang malaking
pananagutan sa iyong readers. Kung sa simpleng usapan pa lang ay hindi na
makatanggap ng rason o lohika ang utak, siguro ay kumambyo na muna sa ibang
career.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Hindi kailangan ang mataas na edukasyon sa
pagsusulat, ngunit kailangan ang research, pagbabasa, obserbasyon at
pagsubaybay sa gawa ng iba. Pero mainam din kung nakapag-aral.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Si Boy Abunda, sa kabila ng matagumpay niyang
career sa media ay kailan lang nakatapos ng pag-aaral. Sabi niya noon sa isang
panayam kung bakit siya naging successful, “Marami akong hindi alam. Sa mga
nagiging kasamahan ko ako natututo. Pero ang mga kakulangan ko sa kaalaman ay
dinaan ko sa attitude. Pag hindi ka ganoon kahusay, dapat mabait ka sa mga
taong sa palagay mo ay aakay sa iyong ambisyon.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Very well said. At ang ganitong pananaw ay
applicable sa kahit anong career—writer ka man o welder. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">MARAMI ang nagsasabing bilang na ang araw ng
publishing industry dahil sa paglaganap ng web publishing. Partly true, kaya
naman ang mga nasa likod ng ganitong industry ay lagi pa ring isinusulong na
dapat na ang mga tao ay maging mahilig pa rin sa pagbabasa. Umiisip din sila ng
mga bagong konsepto para maging obsessive, compulsive read ang kanilang mga
produkto. Of late, ang mga libro nina Bob Ong, Ramon Bautista at mga
translators sa Precious Pages ang mabenta—plus ang mga aklat ng mga DJs sa
radyo na tumatawid ang jokes sa print medium.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Somehow, they keep the local publishing
industry afloat. Isama na natin ang mga tabloid na paborito pa ring basahin ng
mga Pinoy na malilibog, nangangarera, tumataya sa lotto at nagsasagot ng
krosword at Suduko. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Unlike sa US, sa ngayon ay wala pang local
broadsheet na nagsara na kahit may online edition sila.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Dalawa naman sa napansin kong namatay nang
propesyon ang sign painting at photography.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Wala na halos nagpapagawa ng sign board at
streamers ngayon na hand painted. Kasalanan ito ng mga makina na gumagawa ng
tarpaulin. ‘Yung isang puwesto na nakikita ko malapit sa SM Manila ay wala na
ngayon, samantalang dati ay umaabot hanggang kalsada ang pinipintahan nilang
tanggap na trabaho.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Kasama na rin sa nawala ang mga gumagawa ng
poster sa pelikula. Hanggang noong late 90s ay marami pang makikitang movie
poster na hand painted sa may Cubao area. Nakakatawa nga na dahil kahit hindi
kamukha ng artista, okey lang. Makikilala mo lang na si Fernando Poe, Jr. halimbawa
‘yung nasa drawing dahil mahaba ang patilya. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Again, napalitan na iyon ng tarpaulin.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Isa namang kaibigan kong dating photographer
ang ngayon ay nagtatraysikel na lang. Pumupuwesto siya noon sa Manila Zoo at
nagsu-shoot ng mga pamilyang namamasyal para may souvenir ang kanilang bonding.
Sa pagdagsa aniya ng digital camera, wala nang nagpapa-shoot sa kanya dahil
ultimong cellphone ay nagagamit sa pag-capture ng precious moments. Ibinenta
niya ang kanyang high-end camera at ibinili ng segunda manong traysikel. Sabi
niya sa akin: “Mainam na ito dahil pagdating ng hapon ay may kaunting kita.
Kung nagsu-shoot pa rin ako at walang kita pag-uwi ng bahay, baka ipukpok pa sa
akin ni Kumander ang camera ko.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Kalimitan naman sa mga kakilala kong
photographer ngayon ay mga hobbyist na lang, o kaya ay sumasali sa mga contest
pag may patimpalak at baka sakaling makakuha ng gantimpala. Well, may mga
nakakaraket pa naman pag may binyagan o birthday at gusto ng mga parents ng
celebrator at professional ang mga shot. Kapag may pre-nuptial, pero kung
minsan ay nakokopo lang ito ng talagang mahuhusay na maniniyut na may studio at
may contact sa mga wedding planner.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Kahit ang mga photographer na nasa showbiz ay
nahihirapan na ring makakuha ng assignments dahil ang mga writer na usually ay
may Smartphone ay kinukunan na ang artista habang ini-interview para mabilis
nilang mai-upload sa Facebook o sa kanilang website ang panayam with matching
photo.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Isa rin sa malaking napinsala ng digital age
ang mga nagtatrabaho sa movie production. Matagal nang nagsara ang Magnatech sa
may Quezon City na paboritong tambayan noon ng mga taga-komiks na nangangarap
mapasok ang pelikula. Wala na kasing ginugupit na film, at ang movie editing ay
puwede nang gawin gamit ang isang cutting-edge na iMac.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Sa kasalukuyan, sa napipintong panibagong
ticketing system sa LRT at MRT ay baka mawala na ang mga cashier na kinukunan
natin ng tiket pag sumasakay tayo dahil magkakaroon na ng machine na puwedeng
mag-dispense ng tiket na magpapabilis umano sa sistema para maiwasan ang
mahabang pila. Nakapila ang mga cashier na ito ngayon sa unemployment status sa
malapit na hinaharap.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Sa harap ng ganitong mga kaganapan, marahil
ay dapat mag-isip ang mga kabataan ngayon ng career na hindi puwedeng mapalitan
ng computer balang araw ang kanilang skill para hindi malaos agad ang kanilang
career.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">On my part, nasa pagiging guro ang direksyon
na gusto kong tahakin—at baka ngayong taon ay back to school na ako para
finally ay maka-receive ng college diploma.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">NAGKITA kami kamakailan ng aking kumpare na
si Meyo De Jesus. Dati ko siyang kasamahan sa Atlas Publishing, Inc. Nagsimula
siya sa kumpanya bilang coloring artist—na ang gamit pa ay krayola. Kinukulayan
niya ang illustration ng mga dibuhista at iyon naman ang ginagawang color guide
ng mga nasa stripping department bago i-print ang komiks.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Early ‘90s pa iyon. Sadyang mahilig sa art si
Meyo kaya nang mauso ang mga computer programs na may kinalaman sa art
partikular sa magazine layout ay nag-enrol siya. Isa siya sa mga unang natuto
ng Photoshop sa Pilipinas.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Gaya ko ay hindi na rin nakatapos ng college
si Meyo dahil early 20s pa lang siya ay magkasabay halos namayapa ang kanyang
parents. Siya na rin ang tumayong magulang ng mga kapatid dahil siya ang
panganay.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Nang mabenta ang Atlas sa National Bookstore
noong 1996 ay nagpatuloy sa pagkuha ng short courses sa computer layout si
Meyo. Naging interesado na rin siya sa web design kaya kung saan-saang company
na siya napapapunta. Iyon na rin ang naging tiket niya para makapagtrabaho sa
isang kumpanya sa Saudi Arabia bilang art director.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Nang magbalik siya sa Pilipinas ay nag-local
employment siyang muli at hindi na nag-abroad. Sabi niya, sa uri ng trabaho
niya bilang web designer ay halos kinikita na rin niya ang suweldo sa abroad
dito sa atin. Isa pa ay gusto niyang masubaybayan ang paglaki ng kanyang
dalawang anak.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Bukod sa pagiging magazine layout artist at
web designer ay hindi niya kinakalimutan ang traditional art. Madalas siyang
sumali sa mga painting exhibit sa Metro Manila ng mga art enthusiast.
Nagnenegosyo rin siya ng T-shirt and merchandise printing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Nang magkakuwentuhan kami ay nabanggit ko sa
kanya na ang anak ko na inaanak niya ay nag-enrol pa sa isang art school, at
nag-complain ako na medyo lihis naman sa career path bukod pa sa sobrang mahal
ng tuition fee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sabi niya agad sa akin
ay maganda talaga ang may skills sa computer arts dahil ito ang in ngayon.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Nag-flashback pa nga siya sa mga unang short
course na kinuha niya na bukod aniya sa sobrang mahal, hindi mo pa mase-save
ang iyong output dahil noon ay limitado lang sa mga training schools ang
software, hindi gaya ngayon na maraming fake, at kayang dayain ng mga mga IT
experts ang license key. Kaya raw noong una, basta may certificate ka ay
sigurado ang employment dahil kulang na kulang pa sa mahuhusay na graphic
artists. Hindi gaya ngayon na dahil naglipana ang mga fake at downloadable
software, maraming puwedeng magpraktis kahit sa bahay lang. Pero mahalaga aniya
ang certificate lalo na kung reputable ang training school na pinanggalingan.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Kahit nga raw ngayon, may plano pa uli siyang
kumuha ng short course. Ano naman ‘kako ang papasukan niya?</span></div>

<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Nabanggit niya na ang in ngayon ay ang
software development at games lalo na kung para sa tablet. Kung makatsamba raw
ng mga programs na agad kakagatin ng tablet market, perang maliwanag. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Dahil sa sinabi niya ay medyo naka-move on na
ako sa may kamahalan na ibinayad ko para sa training ng aking anak. I just hope
na sana ay mapakinabangan ng anak ko ang pinag-aaralan niya ngayon na sabi
naman niya ay nae-enjoy niya, at knowledgeable naman ang mga instructors.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Well, kung may mga kababayan tayo na problema
ang pagkuha ng four-year course dahil matagal at mahal ang tuition, puwedeng subukan
ang mga short courses lalo na pag tungkol sa information technology. Medyo
mahal pero maikli lang ang duration ng training, at bukod dito ay talagang
laging may naghihintay na trabaho—gaya ni Meyo na hindi nababakante at laging
in demand.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">MATAGAL nang nagsara ang isang sports house na
paborito kong bilihan ng rubber shoes at backpack sa may Harrison Plaza.
Mayroon silang ibang outlets sa iba pang malls pero sa ngayon ay medyo nagtitipid
ako kaya di ko masyadong kailangan ang ganitong gears. Nagulat na lang ako na
may natatanggap akong e-mails mula sa kanila. Naalala ko na minsan nga palang
may binili ako roon ay nailagay ko ang aking mga contact numbers at e-mail
address. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">May website na sila ngayon, nakalagay sa link sa
e-mail, at naka-display ang kanilang mga merchandize. Mukhang papunta na sila
sa online selling kaya siguro ilang outlets na rin nila ang nagsara sa
pagkakaalam ko.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Unti-unti nang nagiging patok sa atin ang online
selling. Sa panig ng nagtitinda, hindi kailangan ang physical store. Sa
bumibili naman, less hassle din dahil di na kailangang pumunta ng mall para bumili.
Sa gallery ng online store ay makikita naman ang hitsura ng item, product
description at presyo.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">May mga kababayan din tayo na nagbebenta ng
kanilang mga lumang gamit. Nagsa-sign in sila sa isang website na ang purpose
ay buy and sell. Kahit sino ay puwedeng maging member at magkakaroon ng
username. Kung gusto mong magbenta, ipo-post mo lang ang iyong product, at kung
may interesado, magme-message ito sa ‘yo at magkakaroon kayo ng negosasyon.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Walang problema sa mga online store na brand new
ang produkto dahil may warranty naman. Sa mga indibidwal na nagtitinda ng
segunda mano may problema. Naranasan ko kasi ito...</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Sa tipidpc.com, isang online gadget store ay
nakita ko na may nagbebenta ng 2-gig Sony MP3 player sa halagang P900. Ang
brand new nito ay nasa P2,000. Dahil sa picture ay makinis naman ang nakalagay
na item, nagkainteres ako. Nag-message ako sa seller at sa madaling sabi ay
nagkasundo kaming magkita. Medyo gabi na nang mag-meet up (termino sa pagkikita
ng buyer at seller) kami sa isang food court.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Unang tingin ko pa lang sa unit ay medyo kinabahan
na ako. At sabi sa akin ng seller, wala raw kasamang headset kasi sira na. Wala
ba ‘kakong replacement? Mura lang daw naman ang earphone, bili na lang ako. May
dala raw siya pero pang-testing lang dahil para naman iyon sa isa pa niyang
unit na hindi Sony. Isa pang dahilan para mag-second thought ako.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Gusto kong sisihin ang sarili ko sa pagiging fan
ng Sony. Nang iparinig niya sa akin ang tunog ng unit, nawala ang mga agam-agam
ko. Agad na rin niyang ini-off ang unit dahil nagmamadali raw siya.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Tumawad ako na P800 na lang, pero wala na raw
bawas. Again, dahil fan ako ng Sony, makakatipid ako ng P1,000 at kahit medyo
luma ay naroon ang distinct Walkman sound, binayaran ko na agad. Nagmamadali
namang umalis ang seller.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Pagdating ko sa bahay, nang i-plug in ko sa PC ang
unit, lumalabas na 512 MB lang pala ang capacity! And worse, hindi na
nagtsa-charge ang battery!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Agad kong tinawagan ang cellphone ng seller.
Cannot be reach na. Nag-sign in ako sa TPC at nag-message sa kanya at sinabing
hindi okey ang kanyang unit. Ang sagot sa akin: “Dapat binasa mong mabuti ang
ads ko!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Nang i-review ko ang ads niya, obvious na
pinalitan na niya ang image at specs ng unit. Nilagyan na rin niya ng mark na
“sold”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Nag-message ako sa kanya na hindi naman iyon ang
una niyang nai-post. Hindi na siya nag-reply. At ang kumag, nilagyan pa ako ng
“negative rating”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Tsk! Ako na ang naloko, ako pa ang negative ang
rating? Sa online shop kasi, pag may negative rating ka ay maraming seller o
buyer ang mag-aalanganing makipagtransaksyon sa ‘yo.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Nilagyan ko rin siya ng negative rating. Kinunan
ko ng photo ang bulok na Sony at ini-upload ko sa site sabay sabing huwag nang
makikipagtransaksyon sa nasabing seller dahil madaya at mukhang mali ang naging
pagpapalaki ng mga magulang.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Moral of the story: Huwag magpapadala sa impulse
kung may bibilhin online. Tingnan ang rating ng seller kung puro positive. I-check
na mabuti ang unit bago magbayad. Higit sa lahat—bumili ng brand new!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">You bet, bumili ako ng brand new Sony Walkman—at
hanggang ngayon ay nilalagyan ko ng negative rating ang kumag na nandaya sa
akin.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">KAMAKAILAN ay natawag ako sa isang job interview. Sa
kuwento ng buhay ko, siguro ay pang-apat beses pa lang ito na nag-apply ako sa
isang kumpanya at na-interview. Sa apat na job interviews na iyon ay sa isa
lang ako na-employed—sa Caltex Refinery sa Batangas City circa ‘80s.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Hindi ako masuwerte sa pag-apply sa trabaho, pero
masuwerte naman ako na laging may trabaho dahil basta may nagbukas na malaking
publishing company ng bagong title, ipinatatawag ako. Pag may mga negosyanteng
gustong magtayo ng publishing na maliit, kadalasan ay ako ang nairerekomenda.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Okey naman ang kita ko kahit papaano, pero ‘ika nga ay
lagari sa oras. Kung minsan ay nagtatrabaho ako sa apat na publishing company,
kaya hindi rin ako halos napapahinga 24/7. Kahit namamasyal kaming mag-anak ay
hindi ako mag-enjoy dahil sala-salabat na isipin ang gumugulo sa aking utak
lalo na pag sabay-sabay ang deadline.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Nang makita ko ang advertisement ng isang international company
na naghahanap ng communication officer ay nagkainteres ako. Akmang-akma kasi sa
work experiences ko ang job description. Tumawag ako sa kanilang opisina at
nagtanung-tanong kung magkano kaya ang salary. Sa sinabing amount ng nakausap
ko, naisip kong kahit iyon na lang ang maging work ko sakaling matanggap ako ay
puwede na. Kahit bitawan ko na ang iba.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Online ang proseso ng application. Nang maipasa ko ang
aking resume ay nakatanggap ako ng notification na may interview ako sa ganoong
petsa. Excited ako nang sumapit ang araw na iyon.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Nang makaharap ko ang mga nag-interview sa akin ay pinuri
nila ang credentials ko. Pero hindi na raw kami magpo-proceed sa interview
proper dahil hindi ako qualified. College undergraduate kasi ako at mahigpit
ang kanilang requirements pagdating sa academic status.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Nalaglag ang balikat ko... </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">If there’s any consolation, nanghinayang din daw sila sa
akin dahil sa mga applicants ay ako ang may solid journalism background at
maraming kakilala sa media. But a requirement is a requirement. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Ito ang aral na natutunan at pinagsisisihan ko...</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Nang matanggap ako sa Atlas Publishing noong 1989 ay
pinayuhan ako ng aking uncle na isang architect na magtapos ng pag-aaral. Gusto
ko rin naman pero laging may hadlang. Una ay nagkasakit ako. Nang magkaasawa
ako at magkaanak ay lalong nakalimutan ko na ang magkolehiyo.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Pero kasama ito lagi sa plano ko every New Year.
Nagkakataon naman na tuwing school opening ay saka may dumarating na malalaking
project kaya di ko maisingit. Sa kagaganoon, hindi ko na naipagpatuloy. At heto
ngayon ang masaklap na kinahinatnan.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Napag-uusapan namin sa bahay ang isyung ito. Sabi ng anak
ko ay subukan ko ang open university. ‘Yung mag-e-enroll lang ako pero sa bahay
ako mag-aaral at magre-report lang sa school pag may exams o may miting sa
propesor para raw hindi ako mahirapan sa oras. Pero mas gusto ko ang actual
classroom na pisikal ang interaction sa mga kaklase at propesor.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Isa rin itong aral sa mga kababayan natin, lalo na ang
mga bagets pa na nagkatrabaho na. Kahit kumikita na kayo ay isingit ninyo ang
pag-aaral. Darating ang panahon na hahanapan kayo ng college diploma lalo na
pag nag-iba na kayo ng linya. Huwag na kayong magpatumpik-tumpik pa dahil
mabilis lang ang takbo ng panahon.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Dahil sa setback na naranasan ko, more than ever ay lalo
akong naging desidido ngayon na magbalik-college. Bata pa rin naman ako. In two
or three years time ay marami pang oportunidad na darating sa akin—lalo na pag
hawak ko na ang aking college diploma.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">At marahil ay hindi pa panahon para lumipat ako. May
misyon pa siguro ako sa mga publishing kung saan ako connected.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">NOONG
early 30s pa lang ako ay pinayuhan ako ng aking isang ninong sa kasal na para
raw maging secure ang future ko ay magtrabaho ako sa gobyerno. May mga posisyon
din daw naman para sa mga tulad kong ang linya ay nasa pagsusulat.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Siya
kasi ay isang nobelista sa komiks pero nagtatrabaho sa assessor’s office sa
isang local municipality sa Metro Manila. Sideline niya ang pagsusulat, pero
ang talagang bread and butter niya ay ang kanyang eight-to-five na trabaho sa
munisipyo.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Noong
mga panahon iyon ay may stigma pa ang pagtatrabaho sa gobyerno. Malaman lang na
taga-munisipyo ka, ang tingin agad sa iyo ay corrupt at mahilig sa lagay. Na
pumapasok lang tuwing akinse at katapusan para sumuweldo. O, kung pumasok man
ay nakatunganga lang sa opisina at pag may lalapit para maghanap o mag-submit
ng anumang dokumento ay sisinghalan.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">May
dahilan naman kung bakit nako-corrupt ang mga taga-gobyernong rank and file.
Maliit lang kasi ang suweldo kaya napipilitang gumawa ng anomalya. Bagaman at
hindi iyon excuse, marami ang natutukso lalo na kung may opportunity para
kumita sa maling paraan. Ang trabaho sa gobyerno, maliit man o malaki, ay isang
napakalakas na magnet para sa corruption dahil ang tukso mismo ang lalapit lalo
na kung may mga namomroblema sa papeles at nagmamadaling mapapirmahan iyon.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Sa
paglipas ng panahon ay unti-unting na-professionalize ang pagiging government
employee. May maayos nang uniporme kung pumasok. Tumaas na rin kahit paano ang
suweldo nang maisaayos ang plantilla ng mga posisyon. Nasa mga nagtatrabaho rin
sa gobyerno ngayon ang pinakamaiinam na benefits na naibibigay para sa isang
manggagawa. Gawin nating halimbawa ang mga titser na noon ay kailangan pang
magtinda ng longganisa at kendi sa kanilang mga estudyante para lang may dagdag
kita. Wala na tayong nababalitaan ngayon na ganitong eksena.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Nang
maupo si Pangulong Noynoy Aquino ay mas na-professionalize ang pagtatrabaho sa
gobyerno. Natakot kasi ang mga department heads na malapit nang magretiro na
baka bigla na lang silang sibakin ng Pangulo—sayang ang separation pay na
makukuha. Hindi man tuluyang nawala ang mga anomalya ay naging limitado na lang
sa mga talagang halang ang bituka o kaya ay may kapit sa itaas na malakas sa
administrasyon.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Ang
payo sa akin ng aking ninong noon na kung sakali raw na gustuhin ko ngang
magtrabaho sa gobyerno ay kumuha ako ng exam sa civil service. Kung legible o
pasado ako sa pagsusulit na ito ay mas madali ang pagkuha ng trabaho sa
alinmang tanggapan. Kapag na-regular daw ako ay kumuha naman ako ng masteral
para tumaas ang posisyon—kung maaari ay sa public administration. Pag
napagsama-sama raw kasi ang naging karanasan ko sa private sector, civil
service legibility at masteral studies—napakaraming puntos para sa promotion.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Hindi
ko iyon binigyan ng pansin dahil enjoy naman ako sa trabaho at okey naman ang
benefits na nakukuha ko. Iyon nga lang, nang mauso ang “contractualization” sa
mga kumpanya, hindi na ako nare-regular at wala na ring benefits na nakukuha.
Ang tanging pabor na nakukuha ko ay malaya ako sa oras, at kung minsan ay
puwedeng sa bahay ko gawin ang trabaho.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Looking
back, alam kong nagkamali ako for not giving it a try. Pero inisip ko na rin
lang na siguro ay hindi iyon ang aking destiny.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Ang
aking ninong ay naging head ng kanilang assessor’s office, at malapit na ring
magretiro. Aniya, milyunes ang makukuha niyang separation pay—salamat daw sa
pagtitiyaga niya at hardwork. Biro ko sa kanya, at least ay alam ko na kung
kanino ako mangungutang kapag nagipit.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Marami
pa rin namang trabaho na makikita sa ngayon sa private sector, ngunit para sa
mga young professionals na marami pa ring oportunidad na puwedeng hawakan sa
kamay, subukan ninyo ang magtrabaho sa gobyerno. Hindi katulad ng ibang negosyo
na anumang oras ay puwedeng magsara, ang gobyerno ay laging naririyan.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Kakatwa ang aking birthday celebration mula umpisa. Dahil
sa hirap ng buhay, lumalampas lang ito sa akin noong bata pa ako. Pero nang
mag-grade one ako, may kakatwang pangyayari na naganap—nakapulot ako ng pisong
papel! Grade two, isang Parker pen.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Mula noon, tuwing magbi-birthday ako ay may napupulot

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit laging malungkot ang aking
birthday. Noong 1984 ay may balikbayan akong pinsan na binigyan ako ng P200
bilang gift—na sobrang laki pa noon. Plano kong manood ng sine, bumili ng
pantalon at kumain ng masasarap nang biglang sumakit naman nang todo ang aking
ngipin, kaya pagkasimba ay natulog na lang ako sa isang bench sa plaza para
makalimutan ang sakit. Na-realize ko rin na walang pera ang aking nanay kaya
ibinigay ko na lang sa kanya ang P200—at nayakap niya ako nang mahigpit.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Noong 1992, birthday ko rin at ilang araw na lang at
ikakasal na ako ay na-confine naman ako sa ospital dahil sa pulmonya. Kaya
iniharap ko sa dambana ang aking naging misis na hinang-hina ang aking katawan
dahil katatanggal lang ng dextrose. Hindi tuloy na-consummate ang honeymoon
kinagabihan at nagpalipas pa kami ng ilang araw.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Nang magkaroon ako ng anak ay lalong naitsa-puwera ang
aking birthday dahil January 12 siya ipinanganak. Sa halip na maghanda ako,
siya na lang tutal ay magkasunod naman kami at siya ang mas nag-e-enjoy na may
celebration. Nag-request siya sa akin noong kanyang 18th birthday na mas gusto
niyang mag-celebrate ng pagiging ganap na dalaga sa Disneyland kaysa magkaroon
ng party. Kahit masakit sa bulsa ay pumayag ako. Dahil kasama niya ang misis
ko, nagdaos siya ng kaarawan sa ibang bansa, at nag-birthday naman ako na wala
sila sa paningin ko kaya medyo maluha-luha ako nang mag-long distance siya para
sabihing ang saya-saya raw niya, the best thing that ever happened to her life,
sabay bati sa akin ng “Happy birthday!” At para sa isang tatay na walang hangad
kundi ang kaligayahan ng anak, feeling ko ay fulfilled ako noon na naibigay ko
ang kanyang birthday wish.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Taong 2003, birthday ko nang ma-regular ako sa Manila
Times bilang desk editor. Noong araw ring iyon ako nakatanggap ng tawag mula sa
ABS-CBN Publishing para maging bahagi ng editorial team ng The Buzz Magasin.
The following year ay nag-full time ako sa ABS-CBN, birthday ko rin.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Sa The Buzz Magasin ako maraming malulungkot na
birthdays. Dahil nagpapalit-palit ang management at “talent” lang ang status ko
sa kumpanya na taun-taon ay pumipirma ng kontrata, tuwing birthday ko ay
aandap-andap ang aking kalooban lalo na pag tapos na ang kontrata ko at hindi
pa ako pinapipirma ng panibago. Mahirap mag-celebrate ng kaarawan kung hindi pa
tiyak na may trabaho pang babalikan.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Tuwing January rin na may mga kasamahan ako sa The Buzz
Magasin na gustong subukan ang bagong mundo kaya nagre-resign at naghahanap ng
malilipatan. Kalimitan, ang aking birthday party ay kasabay ng kanilang
despedida, kaya sa halip na ako’y nagpapakalunod sa beer sa saya dahil
nadagdagan na naman ang aking edad, nagpapakalasing ako sa lungkot dahil
nabawasan ang aking mga mahal na kasamahan sa trabaho na naging best friends na
rin. Ganito rin ang naging sitwasyon noong nasa Risingstar Printing pa ako, at
sa Onward Publishing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">And I guess, nagpapatuloy pa rin ang ganitong cycle sa
ngayon...</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Pero that’s life. Walang bagay na permanente. May mga
kasamahan tayong gusto ring hanapin ang kanilang sariling kaligayahan, at nais
na mapaunlad ang kanilang kabuhayan sa ibang pastulan. Ako bilang nakatatanda
ay nauunawaan ito—lalo pa at kung ang motibasyon nila sa ganitong plano ay para
sa ikabubuti ng kanilang mga mahal sa buhay.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Noong isang araw pa ako nakakatatanggap ng birthday
greetings from old associates. Nakakatuwa naman na kahit hindi na kami
magkakasama ay natatandaan pa nila ang aking kaarawan. Hindi ko na sila
nakikita, pero totoo ngang it’s the thought that counts—kaya di ko mapigilang
mapaluha.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Well, belated happy birthday to me! Malungkot muli pero masaya na
rin na naging bahagi ako ng buhay ng mga kaopisinang sa kabila ng aking
pagiging mahigpit at corny ay may natutunan sa akin kahit papaano. Sana
dumating ang panahon na muli ko kayong makasalong lahat sa pagkain ng mainit na
pansit.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Ano ba ang saloobin natin sa isyung
ito at ‘ika nga ng mga beki ay dedma yata tayo? Hindi ba tayo naniniwala na
gagawin iyon ng China, o natatakot tayong harapin ang katotohanan na itutuloy
ng higanteng bansa ang plano nito?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Sa panig ng pamahalaan ay tumanggi
munang patulan ng Department of Foreign Affairs ang lumabas na ulat hinggil sa
sinasabing plano nga ng China na sakupin ang Pag-asa Island, isang island
barangay sa bahagi ng Kalayaan, Palawan. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Sinabi ni DFA spokesperson Raul
Hernandez na sa ngayon ay walang official pronouncement ang Beijing kaugnay sa
nasabing report kung kaya't iwas din muna sila sa pagbibigay ng pahayag. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"But we do comment on official
pronouncement by governments all over the world that would affect the interest
of the country. We don't comment on news articles that have unnamed and
unofficial sources," sabi pa ng kalihim. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Nailathala sa state-owned China
Daily Mail ang sinasabing "combat plan" umano ng Chinese Navy na
pag-takeover sa nasabing isla. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Layunin umano ng plano na mabawi ang
teritoryong sinasabing “ninakaw” ng Pilipinas mula sa China. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Sa ngayon ay namamagitan pa rin ang
territorial disputes sa pagitan ng dalawang bansa sa mga islang nasa bahagi ng
West Philippine Sea.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Malaki ang posibilidad na ituloy ng
China ang plano. Maraming dahilan kung bakit. Una na rito ay gusto nilang
ipakitang sa bahagi ng Asya ay sila ang pinakabarako.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Pumapalag na kasi ang Japan sa mga
kilos ng China, at nagpapalakas na rin ng mga gamit-pandigma. Bukod sa
Pilipinas ay ang Japan lang ang hayagang tumututol sa pagiging agresibo ng
China sa mga aktibidad nito sa dagat.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">At napaka-creative ng China para
mapanindigan na kanila nga ang mga bahaging kanilang sinasakop. Una ay inilagay
nila sa kanilang pasaporte ang mga mapa ng mga lugar na kanilang inaangkin.
Hindi na puwedeng dumaan sa mga karagatan na sakop diumano nila kung hindi
hihingi muna ng pahintulot sa kanilang mga awtoridad. Maging ang sukat ng
himpapawid na sakop diumano nila ay minarkahan na rin nila.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Sa lahat nang ito, hindi pa talagang
masasabi ng China na epektibo ang kanilang mga taktikang ginagamit sa
pangangamkam. Kumbaga sa magkapitbahay, maituturo mo kung hanggang saan ang
lupa mo, pero ang magpapatunay pa rin kung gaano talaga kalawak ang iyong sakop
ay ang mohon. Mapapatunayan lang ng China kung gaano na sila kaseryoso sa
pamamagitan na nga ng tuwirang pananakop. Kung ang kanilang army ay tuluyang
tutuntong sa Pag-asa Island at itatayo ang kanilang watawat, mapapanganga
tayong mga Pinoy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">May magagawa ba tayo?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Lahat nang paraan sa dispute na ito
ay ginawa na ng Pilipinas at lumapit na rin ang ating bansa sa mga
international organizations para mahilot ang isyu. Ang problema, ang China
mismo ang umaayaw na pag-usapan ito sa maayos na paraan. Bakit nga naman
aayusin nang paupo kung kaya naman nilang kunin ang gusto nila sa pamamagitan
ng dahas?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Sa nakikita natin, kahit kasapi sa
United Nations, pag maliit na bansa gaya ng Pilipinas ay parang bingi rin ang
mga kasapi nito para tulungan tayo. At nakakatakot ang mga senaryong puwedeng
mangyari sakali ngang may katotohanan ang balitang lumabas.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Balik tayo sa netizens na matatapang
sa ibang isyu pero ngayon ay tumitiklop sa harap ng nakaambang pananakop sa
atin ng China. Hindi naman ako nawawalan ng pag-asa na magpapakita tayo ng
karuwagan sa panahong ito. Mga Pilipino tayo na pinanday na ng maraming
digmaan. Naniniwala akong mangyari man ito, aalis tayo sa harapan ng ating computers
at gagaod papuntang Pag-asa Island para ipagtanggol ang ating kasarinlan.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">And who knows, baka ang pangyayaring
ito ang muling magpaningas sa ating mga puso para muli nating matutunang
mahalin ang ating bayan.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">PINANOOD
ko noong Lunes ang privilege speech ni Sen. Bong Revilla sa Senado na
pinamagatan niyang “Ito ba ang tuwid na daan”. Sana ay napanood n’yo rin para
mas makuha ninyo ang aking punto.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Aaminin
kong fan ako ni Bong noong ako’y binatilyo pa. Maraming pelikula niya ang
napanood ko. Kung probinsyano kayo na gaya ko, hindi maiiwasan na sine lang ang
libangan. At dahil idol ko siya ay pinagarap ko ring maging action star.
Maraming naging action sa buhay ko, pero hindi ako naging star.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Anyway,
kahapon matapos ang kanyang speech ay napag-usapan namin sa news room kung sino
kaya ang sumulat ng kanyang script. Masyadong kalat, at parang screenplay.
Nawala ang anghang sa dami ng rekado, ‘ika nga, at sa sobrang haba ay
nakakaumay na.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Sayang.
Kung close lang kami ng aking idol ay ako na sana ang gumawa ng kanyang speech.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">What
if ako nga ang pinasulat ng script niya?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Simple.
Susundin ko ang kasabihang, “Keep it short (or simple), stupid!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Sa
aking pananaw, ang pinakaimportanteng bahagi ng speech ni Bong ay ang kuha sa
mama na nagmamaneho, na sabi niya ay si DILG Sec. Mar Roxas. Doon kasi
interesado ang mga tao dahil noon pa pumutok ang isyung dinala nga siya ng
secretary kay P-Noy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Uunahin
kong banggitin ang mga kasong kinakaharap niya, pero iiwasan ko na ang mga
dramatics lalo na ‘yung nabu-bully ang mga anak, pamilya at kamag-anak niya
dahil sa isyu. Com’ on, sino ang bu-bully sa pamilya na puro pulitiko sabi nga
ng aming EIC na si Danny Marquez?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Useless
din ‘yung laruang trak na may mga papel. Walang natawa. Action star siya at
hindi si Vic Sotto.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Hindi
ko na rin babanggitin ang kay ex-CJ Renato Corona dahil nasabi na iyon ni Sen.
Jinggoy. Lalong hindi ‘yung isyu kina Ballsy at sa asawa nito dahil hindi okey
na may kaso sa ‘yo ay magbabanggit ka ng kasalanan ng iba. Parang bata naman
iyon.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Wala
na rin ‘yung pakiusap ng kanyang ama na linisin ang pangalan ng kanilang
pamilya. At ‘yung sa matanda sa isang restoran sa Tagaytay na nagsabi sa
kanyang kaya niyang dalhin ang kanyang mga pinagdaraanan. Again, parang eksena
sa pelikula.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Tututok
ako sa pag-uusap sa pagitan nila ni Pangulong Noynoy Aquino sa Palasyo at sa
pag-arbor nito sa boto niya laban kay Corona. Ididiin ko si P-Noy sa isyung ito
dahil ito lang ang makatotohanan sa bahagi ng kanyang speech.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Hindi
ko na ibubunton sa isa niyang staff ang sisi sa pork barrel scam. Malinaw na
paglilinis agad iyon sa pangalan ng senador.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Hindi
ko na babanggitin ang kapalpakan ng pamahalaan sa Yolanda, Bohol earthquake at
Zambo siege. Buong gobyerno ang may kasalanan doon at hindi lang si P-Noy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Hindi
ko na rin sisiraan ang ibang miyembro ng Gabinete. At lalong hindi ko
itatangging kilala niya si Janet Lim Napoles.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">At
pagkatapos kong maisiwalat ang naging usapan sa Palasyo, hindi ko na rin
sasabihin na sumagot pa siya na boboto lang siya ayon sa kanyang kalooban.
Bahala na ang publikong mag-analyse doon kung ano ang isinagot niya.
Cliff-hanger kumbaga. Mahirap na kasing itanggi na hindi tinanggap ang bayad o
lagay ng Palasyo dahil inamin na ito ng ibang senador.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Sa
panghuli, itatanong ko sa Pangulo kung bakit siya (Bong) kinakasuhan gayung ang
administrasyon mismo ay nanunuhol din. Bakit ang gawaing mali ay ginagawa pala
ng Palasyo? Bakit sila nanunuhol ng mga senador?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Saka
siya titingin sa screen bilang panghuling salita sabay tanong: “Mr. President,
ito ba ang tuwid na landas?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">At
bago siya tuluyang umalis sa podium ay huhugot siya ng malalim na
buntunghininga saka siya magpapakawala ng kanyang pamosong linyang, “Anak ng
teteng!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">O,
di ba’t mas may dating?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Sayang,
Idol... </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Next
time, puwede mo akong kontakin kung may privilege speech ka uli. Don’t worry...
dahil idol kita, puwede namang free.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">PABOR ba kayo na gawing legal ang paggamit ng
marijuana dito sa ating bansa bilang gamot?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Ang marijuana na may scientific name na
cannabis sativa ay ginagamit bilang droga. Pinatutuyo ang mga dahon nito,
nirorolyo sa papel at hinihitit bilang sigarilyo na nakakapagpa-“high”. Sumikat
ito noong dekada ’70 sa kasagsagan ng Beatles at rock and roll era. “Damo” ang
sikat na tawag natin dito. Tinatawag din ito ng mga Pinoy hippies na “mojack”,
joint, maryjane, juts, etc.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Ang epekto nito, sabi nga ng mga gumagamit
nito ay “trip lang” gaya ng food trip, laugh trip—lahat ay pampaganda ng mood.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Bahagyang nawala ang popularidad ng marijuana
nang maglabasan ang mas malalakas na droga gaya ng cocaine, ecstasy at shabu.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Nabuhay ang isyung ito matapos payagan sa
Colorado ang pagbebenta ng marijuana sa may edad 21 pataas. Alam n’yo naman
tayong mga Pinoy—lalung-lalo na ang ating mga mambabatas—mahilig sa gaya-gaya.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Base sa datos ng National Organization for
the Reform of Marijuana Laws na isang non-profit organization, 16 states na ang
nag-decriminalized ng marijuana, at 22 naman ang pumayag sa paggamit nito
bilang gamot.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ang
Uruguay ang kauna-unahang bansa na nag-legalize ng pagma-manufacture at
paggamit ng marijuana.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Sa mga online forum ay sinasabing nasa 30
sakit ang kayang gamutin ng marijuana—kadalasan ay may kaugnayan sa sakit sa
utak at mga ugat. Gayunpaman, may side effects din ito gaya ng kawalan ng
pandama, paghina ng memorya, masasal na tibok ng puso, mataas na blood
pressure, at mabagal na pag-iisip lalo na sa sandaling nahaharap sa problema. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Kung paniniwalaan ang mga talakayan,
lumalabas na mas problema pa ang hatid ng paggamit ng marijuana sa katawan at
utak ng tao kaysa makagamot sa mga sakit na taglay ng isang indibidwal.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">May ilang sektor din naman na nagsasabing hanggang
ngayon ay hindi pa napapatunayan na may medicinal o therapeutic purposes ang
marijuana na katulad ng pinalalabas ng ilang pabor sa paggamit nito.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Ang Pilipinas ay isa sa mga lumagda sa 1961 United
Nation’s Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs na nagba-ban sa produksyon at supply
ng mga narcotic drugs at gamot na may kahalintulad na epekto maliban na lamang
sa medical at research purposes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Sa Preamble ng naturang Convention ay
kinikilala nito na ang adiksyon sa narcotic drugs ay maituturing na isang
“serious evil”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Maraming adik sa droga sa ating bansa. Ang
legalisasyon sa paggamit ng marijuana ay tiyak na sasamantalahin ng mga drug
syndicates. ‘Yun ngang mga menor de edad na sumisinghot ng rugby ay hindi
masawata, ano pa kaya ang legal na marijuana?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Kung sino man ang nakaisip na gawing legal
ang paggamit ng marijuana gaano man kaganda ang intensyon ay siguradong high sa
kung anuman. Napakaraming halamang gamot sa ating bansa gaya ng banaba, bayabas,
sambong at iba pa ngunit hanggang ngayon ay walang nagpapanukala na palawakin
ang paggamit at produksyon nito bilang gamot. May mga kumpanyang gumagawa ng
mga gamot mula sa mga halamang ito ngunit hirap na hirap pang makakuha ng
pagsang-ayon sa ating Bureau of Food and Drug.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Maraming tututol dito lalo na ang Simbahan.
Sa ating palagay, baka mas tuluyang maipatupad ang RH Law kaysa sa panukalang
ito.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Maging ako ay hindi pabor sa planong ito na
tiyak na maraming sisiraing utak ng ating mga kababayan. Sabi nga sa lumang
kasabihang Pinoy: “Ang damo ay para lang sa kabayo.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Siguro ay puwede kong subukang tumikim ng
damo sa isang kondisyon--tatadyakan ko ang nagpapanukala ng legalisasyon nito,
sabay sigaw sa kanila ng: “Keep off the grass!”</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">BATA pa lang ako nang makilala si Marino.
Binata na siya noon. No pun intended, isa siyang seaman. Kaya nga pakiramdam ko
noong medyo nakakaintindi na ako ng grammar ay masyadong redundant pag
tinatawag siyang si “Marinong seaman”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Masarap kahuntahan si Marino lalo na kapag
nagkukuwento siya tungkol sa mga bansa na narating niya. Ang kultura at
tradisyon, ang anyo ng mga tao. Para siyang lalaking bersyon ni Lola Basyang na
dinadala kami sa ibang mundo dahil sa kanyang mga kuwento. Parang isang librong
naka-audio version. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">At dahil puro mga binatilyo kaming nakikinig,
hindi maiiwasang magkuwento siya ng tungkol sa mga babaeng banyaga na kanyang
nakakaniig. Sa kanya, sa pamamagitan lang ng imahinasyon, ay namulat ang aming
mga inosenteng kamalayan sa kamunduhan.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Isa sa pinakagusto kong kuwento niya ay
tungkol sa Brazil. Doon daw, pag dumaong ang mga marino ay puwede kang pumili
ng isang dalaga. Magsasama kayo sa loob ng panahon na nakaangkla ang
barko—puwedeng sa isang bahay na uupahan n’yo—at magiging tila misis mo ang
dalagang Brazilian. Siyempre, suportado mo sa pera at luho ‘yung dalaga—na
nuknukan ng ganda at para raw diyosa. Ipinakita pa niya sa amin ang larawan na
talaga nga namang perfect mula ulo hanggang paa.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">‘Yun nga lang, pera-pera lang daw ang
labanan. Minsan na may naka-live in siya na Brazilian na pang-Miss Universe ang
dating, nangako siya rito na babalikan niya, pakakasalan at iuuwi rito sa
Pilipinas. Ang siste, pagbalik ng kanilang barko sa Brazil ay may ibang
marinong kasalukuyang ka-live in ang magandang Brazilian. Ang mas masakit, para
raw siyang hindi nito kilala at di man lang bumabati sa kanya kahit
nagkakasalubong sila sa dalampasigan at tinatawag niya ang pangalan nito.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Nagkukuwento rin siya kung paano nagsimula
bilang seaman. Noong apprentice pa lang daw siya, kakarampot ang kanyang kita.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“Pag dumaong nga kayo at namasyal ka sa mall,
pag nakabili ka ng imported na tsokolate ay tiyak ubos na ang iyong kita,”
natatawa niyang pagbabahagi sa mga nakakanganga niyang audience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lumalaki lang daw ang kita ng seaman kapag
matagal nang sumasakay sa barko at napo-promote. O kaya ay pag lumalaki ang
palitan ng piso sa dollar. Nang mag-umpisa raw siyang sumakay, ang exchange
rate ay $1=P7. Mataas pa kasi ang value ng ating pera noon.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Isa si Marino sa mga idol ko noon. Hindi kasi
siya maramot at laging may pasalubong na kendi sa amin. Katu-katulong niya ako
minsang bumaba siya ng barko at may uwi na stereo component na usung-uso noong
dekada 80. Mamahaling sound system iyon na magkakapatong ang amplifier,
booster, equalizer, tuner at may malalaking speakers. Nang patugtugin niya, sa
sobrang lakas ng tunog, kahit katanghaliang tapat ay nagputakan ang mga manok
at nag-ungaan ang mga baka. Hangang-hanga ako noon sa nasabing component dahil
para sa isang taga-bukid na noon lang nakakita ng ganoon—it was rocket science.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Sa amin namang magkakalaro ay mukhang ako ang
paborito niya dahil masikhay ako sa pag-aaral. Sinabihan pa niya ako na Marine
Transportation ang kunin kong kurso para raw madali akong umasenso dahil alam
niyang hirap na hirap kami sa buhay. Pero hindi nga nangyari iyon dahil mahal
ang tuition fee sa mga maritime school—at dahil sa aking dark secret: Takot ako
sa dagat! Kahit kailan ay hindi ako nag-aral lumangoy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Marami ring naituro si Marino sa akin
pagdating sa work ethics. Kailangan ay masipag, masikhay, kayod-marino. Lahat ng bagay sa
trabaho ay kailangang alamin. Hangga’t maaari ay mag-masteral o mag-workshop.
At maging maingat sa pera.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Halos lahat naman ito ay nasunod ko maliban
sa isa—ang pagiging maingat sa pera. Naging gastador kasi ako nang
magkatrabaho.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Nang magpakasal si Marino sa isang kababaryo
namin, hindi sa Brazilian, makalipas ang ilang buwan ay sa Maynila na sila
nanirahan. Laking tuwa ko nang iwan niya sa akin ang stereo component. Akin na
lang daw dahil masyadong matakaw sa space. Hanggang ngayon ay nasa akin pa ito
pero hindi ko na nagagamit mula nang mauso ang mga media players.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Paminsan-minsan ay bumibisita siya sa mga
kamag-anakan sa aming baryo. Minsan ay nakikita ko siya. Nang mag-graduate ako
ng high school ay binigyan pa niya ako ng P50 bilang regalo.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Nasa kolehiyo na ako nang huli kong makita si
Marino. At malungkot na pagkikita. Isa na siyang malamig na bangkay, at doon sa
aming lugar siya ililibing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Ayon sa mga kuwento ay lumubog ang barkong
sinasakyan niya at isa siya sa mga nasawi.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Sa pagkakatitig ko sa kanyang bangkay ay saka
nag-sink in sa akin ang isang bagay na napag-usapan namin noon. Naitanong ko
kasi sa kanya, “Kuya Marino, paano mo masasabi na ang isang seaman ay mahusay?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Ngumiti siya nang sumagot sa akin. Aniya,
“Hindi ka dapat tumalon sa tubig para iligtas ang iyong sarili kapag lumulubog
na ang barkong iyong sinasakyan. Hindi mo dapat iwan ang mga pasahero at ang
mga kapwa mo seaman...”</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">NANGUNA sa box office sa nakaraang Metro
Manila Film Festival ang pelikulang “My Little Bossings” na pinagbidahan nina
Vic Sotto, Ryzaa Mae Dizon, at ng mag-inang Bimby at Kris Aquino.
Interestingly, nangunguna rin ito sa pinakamaraming bashers sa social media.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Halos lahat ay nagsasabing pangit ang
pelikula. Pera-pera lang daw ang pagkakagawa. Obviously ay nakapanood ang mga
bashers na ito dahil mahirap naman siyempreng basta magkomento kung walang
knowledge sa movie na ngayon ay binabatikos.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">May mga nagsasabing dapat daw ay sisihin ang
Eat Bulaga na nag-create sa sikat na sikat na “Aleng Maliit” dahil ito ang main
attraction ng pelikula kaya maraming nanood. Maraming nainis sa mga eksenang
obvious na ipino-promote ang mga product endorsements nina Vic at Kris. Halos
lahat naman ay nadismaya sa kawalan ng talent ni Bimby sa acting.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Pero ang umani ng pinakamaraming batikos ay
si Bossing Vic. Sa isang open letter ng katotong Lourd De Veyra ay nanawagan
ang mahusay na writer/TV host na dapat ay gumawa na si Bossing ng pelikulang
tatatak sa mga televiewers. Sinabi ni Lourd na in years to come, baka ni walang
makaalala na may naging pelikula palang “My Little Bossings.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Nabanggit lang natin ang pangalan ni Lourd dahil
sa mga bashers ay siya ang sikat. Pero halos lahat naman ay iisa ang
sentimyento—basura ang pelikula.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Pero dapat bang sisihin si Bossing?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Ever since ay komersyal ang mga pelikula ni
Vic. Sa tagal na niya sa paggawa ng pelikula ay hindi siya umaalis sa kanyang
comfort zone na comedy ang tema. Kung gagawa siya ng heavy o kahit light drama,
I don’t think na makakapuno siya kahit isang sinehan.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Pero wala rin naman siyang sinasabi na tila
baga siya’y nagpapakalalim. Kahit sa kanyang TV show, siya si Bossing, the
funny man. Matawa ka o hindi, ayos lang sa kanya. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Sa ngayon, ang MMFF ay talagang mga bata ang
market. Sila ang may pera pag Pasko. Ang bulto ng kinita ng “My Little
Bossings” ay galing sa napamaskuhan ng mga bata—na siyempre ay kailangang
kasama ang mga parents sa loob ng sinehan kaya dalawang market ang nakopo ng
nasabing pelikula. Oo, nagamit bilang marketing tool si Ryzza pero bahagi iyon
ng negosyo.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Mahal na ang tiket sa sinehan, nasa P200 plus
na. Kung nakapanood ka ng basurang pelikula ay mapipikon ka talaga.
Marami-raming load din sa cellphone iyon, o kaya’y ilang stick ng yosi o bote
ng beer.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Pero ang problema ay nasa televiewers na rin.
Alam nang pangit ang movie, nanood pa rin. Sumabay sa bandwagon dahil baka
malamangan sa huntahan ng barkada. Nakiuso. Sabi nga ng aming associate editor
na si Jayson Vega sa mga ganitong mahihilig makiuso, nagpapaka-mainstream.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Na totoo naman. Dahil kung ang hanap pala ay
matinong pelikula, bakit hindi ang “10,000 Hours” na humakot ng maraming
parangal ang pinanood? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">At bakit sa kabila naman ng pagkilala sa
“10,000 Hours” ay wala halos nanood? Walang pumupuri sa social media? Walang
sumisisi sa mga taong nasa likod nito kung bakit hindi kumita.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Sa isang workshop na nadaluhan ko ay
nabanggit ng aming lecturer na mahirap tukuyin bilang market ng kahit anong
produkto ang mga Pinoy. Kahit mayaman, nagpapakabaduy. Ang mga mahihirap naman,
nag-aastang well-off. Mas magkokolekta tayo ng mga plastic products na
naka-promo sa mga combo meals kaysa bibili ng kahit mumurahing alahas na balang
araw ay mataas ang value.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Pero iyon nga, mahilig tayo sa bandwagon.
Nakapila sa opening sale ng Apple products. Kailangang makapanood ng episode ng
“Fast and Furious” dahil hindi in sa grupo at magmumukhang eng-eng pag di
maka-relate sa kuwentuhan.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Hindi si Bossing ang gumawa ng “My Little
Bossings” kundi ang creative team na nasa likod nito na alam na alam ang buying
mentality ng mga Pinoy kaya hindi natin siya dapat sisihin kung parang natapon
sa wala ang P200 na ibinayad natin makapanood lang ng kanyang movie. Ang dapat
nating sisihin ay ang ating mga sarili sa pagtangkilik sa isang pelikulang
basura gayung in the first place ay alam na natin kung ano ang ating mae-expect
once na magsimula ang opening credits. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">NOON ay
nag-apply rin ako sa mga online jobs, kalimitan ay bilang translator. May
artikulo o kuwento na nakasulat sa English at isasalin sa Tagalog. Natatanggap
naman ako, pero pag pinapipirma na ako ng kontrata ay nagba-back out ako.
Marahil ay hindi ako sanay sa trabahong nasa bahay lang, solo ang oras at
walang kasalamuhang kaopisina.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Kung tutuusin
ay maganda ang online job. Hindi ka matatrapik sa pagpasok sa opisina. Hindi ka
magkukumahog sa pag-aalmusal at pagbibihis. At dahil nasa bahay ka lang,
anytime ay puwede kang kumain o magmeryenda pag nagutom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Ang problema
lang sa online job ay depende ito sa iyong makukuhang kliyente—na either good
or bad. Puwedeng matagal ang magiging kontrata, puwede rin namang maikli lang at
hanap ka uli ng iba. Sa internet ay laging nagkalat ang online jobs, hahanap ka
lang talaga ng eksakto sa iyong area of expertise. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Sa mga
napagtatanungan ko na online ang trabaho ay wala raw naman silang nagiging
problema sa pagsuweldo. On time dumarating ang pera sa kanilang account. Kung
pakyaw naman ang trabaho gaya ng mga kaibigan kong illustrators, basta
naipadala nila ang materials, agad ding nagbabayad ang client.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Nakakatipid
din naman ang “employer” sa ganitong scheme. Unang-una ay hindi kailangan ang
opisina dahil “virtual office” ang nagiging sistema. Dahil kada piraso o
service ang trabaho, hindi kailangang magbayad ng benepisyo at bonus ng mga
employees. Kung sumablay rin ang retainer, pwedeng hindi magbayad. Ito rin ang
dahilan kung bakit ang isang retainer ay kailangang makatupad sa napag-usapang
oras ng paghahatid ng serbisyo o material dahil hindi ito mababayaran kapag
pumalpak. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Isang kasamahan
ko dati sa trabaho ang sumubok sa ganitong sistema. Single mom kasi siya at
sabi niya sa akin, kung online job ang papasukan niya ay mas matututukan niya
ang kanyang anak dahil sa bahay na lang siya. Natanggap siyang English tutor
para sa mga batang Korean.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Dahil nga
hindi na siya nakatali sa otso oras na trabaho, bukod pa sa nasusubaybayan niya
ang anak ay nagawa pa niyang mag-enroll para mag-masteral. Kung may master’s
degree raw kasi siya, o kahit units lang, pag nag-update siya ng curriculum
vitae sa online school kung saan siya retainer ay tataas din ang kanyang rate.
Sa dati naming trabaho na laging may overtime, wala siyang panahon para
mag-aral muli.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Two years ago
ay bumalik na silang mag-ina sa Leyte kung saan naroon ang kanyang mga magulang
at kapatid. Kahit nagbalik-probinsya siya, tuloy ang kanyang pagiging online
tutor. Kung hindi ganito ang sistema ng kanyang trabaho at kaopisina ko pa rin
siya, ang senaryo ay ganito: magre-resign siya sa aming opisina, pagdating sa
Leyte ay saka pa lang uli maghahanap ng trabaho—na suwerte kung may makita
agad.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Kasama nga
pala ang kanyang pamilya sa mga sinalanta ni Yolanda. Noong kasagsagan ng bagyo
ay nag-text at nag-email ako sa kanya pero hindi siya nagre-reply. Last week ay
nagparamdam na siya na she’s okay, and the rest of her family. Nawasak nga lang
daw ang kanilang bahay, pero unti-unti na silang nakaka-move on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Ito ang
interesting. Buti na lang daw at tuloy pa rin ang online job niya at sa suweldo
niya umaasa sa ngayon ang buong pamilya dahil siya lang ang may trabaho. Ang
iba niya kasing kapatid ay hindi pa maka-report sa physical job dahil wasak ang
building ng mga pinapasukang opisina.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Kuwento pa
niya sa akin, pagkahupang-pagkahupa ng bagyo ay binuksan agad niya ang kanyang
fully-charged laptop na una niyang na-save dahil nga iyon ang kabuhayan niya.
Ini-on ang kanyang pocket wifi, nag-log in sa kanilang site, at nag-lecture sa
kanyang Korean student. Habang nagkakagulo sa paligid, nagtuturo siya sa isang
batang dayuhan ng “A is for apple, B is for banana” na hindi nito alam ay nasa
gilid na halos ng impiyerno si Ma’am.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But that’s
life, at sadyang magiting ang dati kong kaopisinang ito.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Ang sitwasyon
na nabanggit ko sa itaas ay isa rin sa mga plus point ng online job. Sa gitna
ng kalamidad, basta may power source ang iyong computer na ginagamit at may
internet connection, it’s just another day in the office. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Sa ngayon,
hindi ko pa rin nakikita ang sarili ko na papasok sa online job sa kabila ng
maraming plus points nito. Kung bakit, I still enjoy bullying my officemates. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">ISA
sa malaking perhuwisyong nagawa ni Yolanda ay ang pagkawasak ng coconut
industry sa Leyte. One third ng ating supply ng niyog ay nagmumula sa
probinsyang ito ayon sa Philippine Coconut Authority.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Last
year ay naging masigla ang “buko industry”. Sa mga mall at kanto ay nagsulputan
ang mga tindahan ng bottled buko. Masarap naman kasi lalo na pag nahaluan ng
ilang ingredients gaya ng gatas, asukal at arnibal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">May
mga pag-aaral din na nagsasabing may healing power ang buko bagaman at wala
pang medical journal tungkol dito. Sa mga probinsya ay pinaniniwalaang gamot
ang sabaw ng buko sa mga problema sa pag-ihi. Kung balisawsawin ka, buko ang
inumin. Kung may hangover, uminom ng malamig na buko at tanggal ang migraine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Maraming
putaheng Pinoy naman ang nangangailangan ng gata ng niyog. Basta’t sinabing
“ginatan”, ang isa sa pangunahing sangkap nito ay gata. Maging sa mga kakanin
gaya ng puto, bibingka at suman ay kailangan ang niyog, gayundin sa mga
panghimagas gaya ng ginatang saging, kamote o pinindot (bilog-bilog).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Sa
tala ng PCA, nasa 208, 000 ektaryang niyugan ang nasalanta ng bagyo na may
mahigit 22 milyong puno ng niyog na namumunga. Nasa 120,000 pamilya naman o
halos 600,000 ang umaasa ng kanilang ikabubuhay sa industriyang ito. Ngayong
wala na ang mga niyog, para silang nakaharap sa blangkong pader kung kailan
muling makakabangon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Wala
namang problema sa pagtatanim at tiyak namang tutulong ang pamahalaan para
muling makabawi ang mga magniniyog sa Leyte. Ang problema, aabutin ng lima
hanggang sampung taon bago muling mamunga ang itatanim na niyog. At depende pa
iyon sa variety.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Isa
sa mga hiling ng mga magniniyog sa pamahalaan ay ang malinis kaagad ang mga
nakatimbuwang na puno ng niyog para makapagsimula na silang magtanim. Ang iba
naman ay nagpaplanong taniman muna ng mga halaman o gulay na madaling mamunga
ang kanilang niyugan para kahit paano ay may kitain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">May
mangilan-ngilan daw na puno ng niyog na nakatayo pa rin, ngunit sa tingin nila
ay hindi na rin mamumunga kaya kailangan na ring putulin. Sa tantiya ng mga
magniniyog sa Leyte ay aabutin din ng ilang buwan bago matanggal ang mga
naghambalang na puno sa mga plantasyon. Plano nilang gawing tabla ang mga
nabuwal na puno para magamit sa pagtatayo nila ng pansamantalang tirahan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Pero
hindi lamang ang mga magniniyog ang nasa industriyang ito ang apektado kundi
maging ang mga magkokopra. Ang kopra ay pinatuyong laman ng niyog at ang katas
nito ay ginagamit bilang sangkap ng sabon at shampoo. Ang pinakasapal (pinagkatasan)
naman ay pinoproseso bilang pagkain ng mga hayop.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Dahil
sa pangyayaring ito, hindi lang ang buko at niyog ang posibleng tumaas ang
presyo kundi maging ang sabon, shampoo at animal feeds. Kaya ngayon pa lang,
habang hindi pa ramdam ang epekto nito, i-enjoy na ninyo ang paborito ninyong
buko juice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif";">Kidding
aside, marami tayong kababayan na umaasa sa niyog bilang kanilang pangunahing
pinagkakakitaan. At ngayong mismong ang PCA ang nagsasabing maraming taon ang
bibilangin bago muling maitayo ang industriyang ito—linisin na kaagad ang mga
taniman at nang makapagsimula nang muli ang mga taga-Leyte sa pagtatanim ng
sinasabing “the tree of life”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;">MATAGAL nawala sa eksena si Sen. Miriam
Defensor-Santiago lalo na noong panahon ni dating pangulong Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo. Ang dating palabang senadora ay nanahimik. May mga
nagsasabing hindi ito masyadong naging palapuna kay PGMA dahil may mga utang na
loob ito sa dating pangulo. Napapuwesto sa gobyerno ang kanyang mister, at ang
kanyang utol ay isa sa mga naging AFP Chief of Staff ng dating pangulo.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;">Kontra rin siya sa pagtatanggal kay
dating chief justice Renato Corona sa panahong mataas ang clamor ng publiko na
sibakin ito.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;">Madalas din siyang absent sa Senado
dahil sa dinaramdam niyang “chronic fatigue syndrome”. Nagiging visible lang
siya kapag naiimbitahan sa mga piling pagtitipon, at nagpapakawala ng kanyang
mga patok na “pickup lines”.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;">Pero nang sumambulat ang eskandalo sa
pork barrel kung saan sangkot ang ilang indibidwal at mga mambabatas ay tila
bateryang na-recharge si Miriam—at muling lumabas ang pagiging palaban. Utos
niya sa mga mambabatas na dawit sa pork: “Magpakamatay na kayo!”</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;">Nakakahiya aniya na mga mambabatas pa
ang sangkot sa pagnanakaw sa kaban ng bayan.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;">Sa kauna-unahang pagharap ng
tinaguriang pork barrel queen na si Janet Lim-Napoles sa Senate Blue Ribbon
Committee ay muling nakita ng publiko ang dating Miriam. Bago ang nasabing
hearing ay nag-tweet pa siya ng: "I will leave my sickbed to confront
Janet Napoles tomorrow to show that she cannot take advantage of the right
against self-incrimination. Naging sikat din ang unang linya niya kay Napoles
na: "Oh there you are. Let me take a good look at you. I will not bully
you. I hope you show me the same courtesy by telling me the truth and nothing
but the truth.”</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;">At mula nga noon, nakuha muli ni Miriam
ang atensyon ng publiko. </span><span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;">Noong November 14 ay napaulat na
pinagkaguluhan siya ng mga shoppers sa isang supermarket. Nagulat na lang umano
ang senadora nang biglang dumagsa ang mga tao at nagpakuha kasama siya ng
“selfie” para raw mai-post sa social media.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;">Ayon kay Miriam, “I only wanted to buy
a desktop lamp for my home office. I was leaning on my foster daughter, and in
just a few seconds, a horde materialized near the entrance to the supermart.” </span><span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;">Sinabi rin niya na nakiusap ang kanyang
mga fans na patuloy siyang magbulgar ng mga kabulukan ng mga kapwa senador at
iba pang public officials na sangkot sa pork barrel scam.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;">Paulit-ulit din umanong binabanggit sa
kanya ng mga ito ang mga pangalan nina Janet Napoles at ng tatlong senador na
binansagang “Tanda, Sexy at Pogi.”</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;">“They were very kind to me, but acted
with intense contempt at senators now charged with corruption. Those public
officials involved in the pork barrel scam underestimate public anger at the
extent of the plunder. If those crooks hope that this melee will die down, it
is not going to happen,” sambit pa niya.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;">Kuwento pa ni Miriam ay kinailangang
manghingi ng reinforcement ang kanyang security team dahil kinabahan ang mga
ito na baka masaktan siya sa dami ng mga taong nagkakagulo sa kanya. Nakiusap
din umano siya sa kanyang mga fans na pakawalan muna siya dahil isa’t isa ay
gusto siyang mayakap matapos ang halos isang oras na pagdumog ng mga ito sa kanya
dahil halos mapahiga na siya sa sahig. Naks, parang Kathryn Bernardo lang ang
peg!</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;">Dahil sa kanyang latest exploits ay
binansagan ngayon ang senadora na “heroine of social media”. </span><span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;">Sa panahon ngayon na nawalan na ng
tiwala ang mga mamamayan sa ating mga mambabatas ay muling bumabalik ang
kanilang atensyon sa isang tinaguriang palaban, very popular, and once upon a
time ay malakas na presidentiable. Matapos matalo sa pagkapangulo (na ayon sa
kanya ay dinaya siya) ay sinabi ni Miriam na kinalimutan na niya ang kanyang
pangarap na maging pangulo. Ngayong siya ang “heroine of social media”, hindi
kaya magbago ang kanyang disposisyon?</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;">Malaki ang maitutulong sa kanya ng
social media sakaling pangarapin muli niyang maupo sa Malacañang.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;">Ngayong mukhang wala namang mapipili na
mainam-inam sa mga pumupustura para sa 2016, marami ang naniniwala na baka ito
na ang tamang panahon para kay Miriam. </span><span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;">And who knows, baka siya ang
kauna-unahang magiging pangulo ng Pilipinas na produkto ng social media.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-PH;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
