 A fresh graduate of Assumption College, San Lorenzo Village, Makati, product of an OFW’s sweat, effort and love
Greetings! It was not so very long ago that the year had started and now we are in the middle of it. So many things had happened, too. One of the worst in this quarter is the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico which had been going on for the past three months, now. We can only hope that BP will be able to finally stop it after all this time specially since the hurricane season is now starting in that part of the world. Then, of course, we in the Philippine had a supposedly democratic election. How democratic and fair that was is still a question in so many people’s minds as there are alarming stories that the election had been manipulated. Be that as it may, let us hope the newly-elected president may be able to do his job properly since so far the stories also coming out is not very encouraging. But then, we, Filipinos never learned from our mistakes. So let us hope this is not too much of a mistake since we will then be suffering it again for the next six years. As for us in Tripoli, after the ambassador had announced that the Philippine Community School is private, the editor had received some rude messages but only from one person who pretended that the messages were sent by several people. Poor individual, she cannot be called a lady, I think like the ambassador, she does not realize that there are no secrets in the internet and that any kind or all kinds of information can be had at the click of the mouse. I displayed most of her messages except two because in one she claimed to be the newly elected president and in the other she claimed to be myself replying to her messages. Since I am aware it was not the President and also that I would not stoop to her level of stupid and senseless writings, I ignored them. The rest are all here in the following pages. For a professional and an accountant, at that, she had the most appalling way of words that simply shows the kind of people the ambassador allowed to stay in the Philippine Community School when he declared it private. This vulgar woman said; “talo ka na, Veron.” If I have lost, how come all they can do is to be rude and bad-mannered? Shouldn’t there be some celebrations instead of losing one of their staff? Food for thought, that! Don’t you think so? God bless _The Editor |

 Dear friends Greetings of a wonderful year! But the world is not over the crisis as yet. Just after the New Year, different calamities have occurred one after the other. The worst so far is the earthquake in Haiti followed by the different earthquakes in different parts of the world like Chile and Taiwan. Then there were floods in Peru, France and Spain and the Tsunamis again in Chile as far as Japan. Indeed, and so far, we seem not to have taken a breath when another news of another disaster comes in additiont to the bombings in Iraq and the depreciation of both the Euro and the Dollar. Perhaps it is because the Lord in the form of Mother Nature is chastising us. Who knows? We seem to have gotten lost of what we are here for on earth. I am not one for dire predictions, but did you notice that most of the countries that are overwhelmed are mostly Catholics? It reminds me of Sodom and Gomorrah. The Lord punishes His people because He loves them and wants them to realize their wrongdoings before it is too late.

 Dear friends
Yuletide tidings of joy and Prosperity!
Though it seems, the world is not over the crisis as yet. We are experiencing typhoons one after the other in the Philippines with more to come.
The worst so far are Typhoon Ondoy and Peping which both brought destruction and havoc to many lives primarily in Luzon. But observing the help that the victims had afforded each other, it is heartwarming to note that we still possess the love of neighbor that is often lacking in our daily lives. Would that it will always be so, whether in the middle of a typhoon or in calm weather.
Here in Tripoli, we have been sending help in any way we can and that is great. POLO-OWWA had organized an Interfaith Prayer and raised some funds through the different organizations and denominations. Some have done it through their own initiative and directly sent their assistance to the Philippines. In whatever way it was done, the most important thing is that everyone involved did their best to do something. Let us continue with the generosity that we can afford and even beyond if we could. |
