LUNGSOD NG MALOLOS –Magagamit na ng mga mag-aaral ng Malolos IntegratedSchool (MIS) ang mga donasy-on ni Ambassador BienvenidoTantoco Sr.

Ito ay ang 12 na flat screentelevision na may mga kasamangamplifier at sound system namagagamit sa science educationprogram ng paaralang dati ay kila-la sa tawag na Malolos CentralSchool (MCS) na matatagpuansa Barangay Sto. Rosario.

Donasyon ng embahador magagamit na sa Hunyo Maliban sa 100 iskolar ni Tantoco sa Malolos Integrated School

Ang pagbabago ng pangalanng nasabing paaralan ay kaug-nay ng pagbubukas ng klasepara sa mag-aaral sa HighSchool na magsisimula rin saHunyo.

“Naka-install napo yung 12na LED television sets, at saMay 7 at ikakabit naman yungmga amplifier,” ani ReynaldoDiaz, ang punong guro ng MIS.

Ayon kay Diaz, malaking tu-long sa mga guro at mag-aaralang mga LED TV sets dahil samagagamit nila ito sa mga vid-eo presentation at iba pang aral-

ing naka-rekord sa video.Binigyang diin pa niya na

ang mga LED TV sets na ipi-nagkaloob ni Tantoco ay hindiuna, dahil sa mga nagdaangpanahon ay pinangunahan dinng dating embahador ang pag-papatayo ng mga gusali sa na-sabing paaralan bukod sa pag-papakumpuni ng ilan at pagbibig-ay ng mga dagdag na libro parasa silid aklatan.

“Priceless ang kontribusyonni Ambassador Tantoco sa am-ing paaralan, at bukod pa diy-an, mahigit 100 mag-aaral ang

kasali sa kanyang sarilingscholarship program,” ani Diaz.

Matatandaan na noong Abril2, kasama ang pamilya at mgakaibigan inihatid ni dating Em-bahador Tantoco sa MIS angtseke na nagkakahalaga ngP400,000 bilang donasyon sapaaralan.

Ayon sa dating embahador,ang kalahati ng halagang kan-yang ipinagkaloob ay regalo ngSycip, Gorres at Velayo (SGV)Accounting Office para sa kan-yang ika-91 kaarawan noongAbril 7.

“I told them, I will match theirgift and will give it to my favoriteschool,” ani Tantoco sa kanyang

maikling pananalita.Ngunit ang nasabing halaga

ay hindi sapat para sa 12 LEDTV na may amplifier at sound sys-tem na kailangan ng paaralan.

Dahil dito, ipinangako ni Tan-toco na dagdagan pa niya angkulang sa pamamagitan ng do-nasyon ng kanyang mga kaibig-an na bumubuo sa Klub Bulak-enyo at pamilya na nagmamay-ari ng Rustan’s Supermarket.

Sa ekslusibong panayam ngPunto sa dating embahador, sin-abi niya na hindi niya makakal-imutan ang kanyang mga kara-nasan sa Malolos CentralSchool kung saan siya nagta-pos ng elemtarya.

Pradhan said he and

Clark BI officers hit for alleged abusesRosales were bound forHong Kong to witness aboxing bout upon the invi-tation of international box-ing referee Bruce MacTav-ish. He said the trip wasrelated to his firm’s plansto launch boxing promo-tional packages here.

Rosales said he wasahead of Pradhan at acounter line 8 a.m. lastThursday when an Immi-gration personnel they

identified as Omar Yunusasked about “personalmatters”, including her re-lationship with Pradhanbefore stamping her pass-port for departure.

Introducing himself asfrom CILA, Pradhan saidhe inquired from Yunuswhy Rosales was askedpersonal questions.

“That was when all theImmigration people therestarted being confronta-

tional from beginning toend. Most of the Immigra-tion personnel refused toidentify themselves and wecame to know of theiridentities only from theirname tags whom some ofthem tried to cover,”Pradhan said.

Pradhan said his que-ry apparently infuriatedYunus who told him to goto the pre-departure areaand leave behind his girl-

friend.Rosales said that

while her passport was al-ready stamped for depar-ture, Yunus again told herto fill up a form, but shefailed to state how muchher plane ticket cost asPradhan had paid for it.

Rosales said she wasthen told to go to the deskof another Immigration per-sonnel she and her boy-friend later came to knowas one Jeffrey Pinpin. Shesaid Pinpin again askedher about her family anddocuments about her be-ing a local student.

“I had been abroad be-fore and I was never askedto produce such docu-ments, so I said I did notcarry such documents atthat time,” Rosales said.

She said another Immi-gration personnel, a wom-an who covered her identi-fication card on her breastwhen asked to be identi-fied, demanded anotherrequirement that includeda seminar by the Commis-

sion on Filipino Overseas(CFO).

“She got furious whenI said I would call Jeff(Pradhan) who was still inthe pre-departure area.She said mine was a hope-less case,” she said.

Pradhan said he optednot to proceed with his tripto Hong Kong without Ro-sales.

When he asked to talkto higher airport authori-ties, Pradhan said one Ze-naida Cruz showed upwith a torn piece of paper on which she underscoredwith ballpen stating theneed for Rosales to firstseek certification from theCFO.

“She was evidently per-turbed when she later sawmy girlfriend’s passportalready stamped for de-parture for Hong Kong,”Pradhan said.

He said that the CILAis also investigating thecase amid similar grievanc-es aired by other foreigninvestors in this Freeport.

ereign rights and livelihoodrights. The Beijing govern-ment should recognizeand respect our fishermenasserting these politicaland sovereign rights overScarborough Shoal,” theletter said.

Hicap, who is also vicechairperson of the Anak-pawis party list, “remind-ed” Jiabao that his group’srequest was in behalf of“small Filipino fisherfolk”and “should merit the fullrecognition of the Beijinggovernment.”

The Armed Forces of thePhilippines (AFP) has re-ported that Filipino fisher-men have returned to Pa-natag Shoal, sharing thedisputed waters with Chi-nese fisherfolk under thewatch of both Philippine andChinese maritime ships.

Lt. Gen. Anthony Al-cantara, chief of the North-ern Luzon Command (Nol-com) reported that six Fil-ipino fishing boats wereanchored on Sunday in thelagoon in the middle of acluster of reefs and is-lands in the area.

Hicap noted “this wasthe first time the Philippinemilitary reported the pres-ence of Filipino fishermen

FROM PAGE 1

‘Refrain from harassing fishermen’in the area since the stand-off began on April 10 whentwo Chinese surveillanceships stopped the Philip-pine Navy from accompa-nying eight Chinese fishingboats loaded with poachedmarine species.”

Earlier, Pamalakayasaid some 200,000 smallscale fishermen could bedisplaced by the continu-ing conflict at the Scarbor-ough shoal.

“We take pride in con-gratulating our fisherfolkcolleagues for asserting thecountry’s sovereign rightsand territorial integrity. Asfar as we are concerned,our fishing peers are theones who champion thecause of national sover-eignty and territorial integ-rity and not the Manila gov-ernment,” Hicap said.

He said Filipino fisher-men “will persist in fishingat Panatag Shoal be-cause they believe it is partof the country’s territorialwaters.”

“If the Manila govern-ment believes PanatagShoal is our territory, thenthere is no reason why itshould discourage smallfishermen from exercisingtheir sovereign rights overthis productive and richfishing area,” he said.

Hicap also said thatthe government seems“engaged in an anti-Chinascare campaign to justifythe near future deploymentof US troops in West Phil-ippine Sea at the expenseof Filipino people.”

He lamented reportsthat foreign affairs and fish-ery officials have been ad-vising fishermen not to getnear Scarborough Shoalpurportedly for their ownsafety and to avoid esca-lation of the current ten-sion between Chinese andFilipino military naval forc-es in the area.

Two weeks ago, Pam-alakaya had filed a “diplo-matic protest” against Chi-na “for employing dirty pol-itics, sheer arrogance andpolitical bullying against thePhilippines over the Scar-borough Shoal issue.”

In a protest letter ad-dressed to China’s envoy tothe Philippines Ambassa-

dor Ma Keqiing, the militantgroup condemned “the per-petual arrogance and polit-ical bullying of China de-spite repeated calls fromthe Filipino people to easethe political tension.”

“Madam Ambassador,the display of Chinese mil-itary might in ScarboroughShoal and the scene scar-ing small Filipino fisherfolksourcing their livelihoodfrom the productive fishingarea through the use ofbattle ready warships andpsywar flying aircrafts issomething that we cannotstomach and accept,”said Pamalakaya in itsprotest letter.

It said “the Filipinofisherfolk join the entirenation in asserting the peo-ple’s sovereign rights onScarborough Shoal andparts of the Spratly regimeof island belong to thePhilippine territory.”

Winning, whining“NEVER FORGET that our country dependson you to help protect our freedom, ourdemocracy and our way of life.”

So US President Barack Obama remindedthe media at last Saturday’s White HouseCorrespondents Dinner.

This, as he paid tribute to The New YorkTimes’ Anthony Shadid and Marie Colvin ofthe Sunday Times of London who died whilecovering the uprising in Syria.

Pure statesmanship there.“Tayo lang yata ang kaisa-isang bansa sa

mundo na nagbabalandra ng mganegatibong travel advisory sa sariling mgapahayagan. Ang paglabas ng ganitong mgababala ay nakasalalay sa persepsyon ngambassador na naninirahan dito sa Pilipinas;isa sa pinanggagalingan ng kaniyangopinyon ay ang mga balitang nakakalap niyamula sa diyaryo at telebisyon…

“Pero dahil nga sa negatibismo sapagbibigay-balita, at sa walang puknat napagwawagayway sa ating travel advisories,kahit pa wala namang direktang banta saPilipinas, palaging kinukwestyon ng ibangmga bansa kung ligtas nga ba silangmagtungo sa atin…

“Isipin lang po natin ang epekto nito. Maykakilala po akong magbabalik-bayan sana.Pero siya mismo nagdadalawang-isip naumuwi, dahil wala na raw siyang nabasa atnakita sa Filipino channel kundi karahasanat krimen. Paano pa po kaya ang mgabanyagang turista, na tinatayang gagastosng isanlibong dolyar sa bawat pagbisita niyasa Pilipinas, na manganganak naman ngtrabaho at kabuhayan sa ating mgakababayan…

“Walang makakaangat, kasi lahat silanaghahatakan pababa. Habang pinipilit ngilang kababayan nating makaahon, siyanamang sipag ng ilan na hilain siyapababa…”

So President Benigno Aquino III damnedthe Philippine media to the level of crabs intheir reportage.

Pure whining there.

“AND INASMUCH as most good things are produced by labor, itfollows that all such things of right belong to those whose laborhas produced them. But it has so happened in all the ages of theworld, that some have labored, and others have, without labor,enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits. This is wrong and shouldnot continue. To secure to each laborer the whole product of hislabor, or as nearly as possible, is a most worthy object of any goodgovernment.”

Itaas ang sahod. Ibaba ang presyo!“Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only

the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not firstexisted. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much thehigher consideration. Capital has its rights, which are as worthy ofprotection as any other rights…A few men own capital, and thatfew avoid labor themselves.”

Tamad na burgis na ayaw gumawa, sa pawisng masa ay nagpapasasa.

‘These capitalists generally act harmoniously,and in concert, to fleece the people.”

Ibagsak ang burukrata kapitalismo, anglintang sumisipsip sa dugo ng manggagawangPilipino.

NO. The English passages quoted above werenot lifted from the pages of Das Kapital or theCommunist Manifesto. Nor did they come fromthe fiery writings of Engels or the incendiaryspeeches of Lenin.

Would you believe, those were the very wordsof Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of theUnited States of America, the very bulwark ofcapitalism in the world?

Born poor, self-taught and an itinerant workerbefore he turned politician, Lincoln was so inuredin the nobility of labor that it became one greatpillar of his presidency.

“No men living are more worthy to be trustedthan those who toil up from poverty, none lessinclined to take or touch aught which they havenot honestly earned. Let them beware ofsurrendering a political power which they alreadypossess.”

Ang masang manggagawa – OFW man o dinangibang bayan – ang tunay na bayani.

Lincoln’s biographer, the poet Carl Sandburg,

called that passage from the President’s annualmessage to Congress on December 3, 1861 as:“An extraordinary little treatise on what Lincolnconsidered the basic point of the Americaneconomic and political system…A rough-hewnsketch of American society, placing the farmerand the laborer as the living and controllingelements in a government of the people.”

The emancipation of the slaves that precipitatedthe American Civil War and caused the holocaust,and eventual apotheosis of Lincoln, was more thanan issue of race. It was also a labor issue: slavelabor.

By breaking the chains of slavery, the GreatEmancipator, freed the Blacks from indenturedlabor, and elevated them to their full humanity.

Laboro, ergo sum. I labor, therefore I am. Avariation on a theme of the philosopher ReneDescartes. A pick on the Christian ethos that laborennobles the man.

So what makes the only Christian nation inAsia then, with less than 10 percent of itspopulation having all – without labor, and morethan 90 percent having none – but with all thelabors?

A noble country?Isulong ang pakikibaka tungo sa kalayaan at

karangalan ng manggagawang Pilipino! Mabuhayang uring anak pawis!

ON THIS DAY in 1945, holed upin a bunker under his headquar-ters in Berlin, Adolf Hitler com-mits suicide by swallowing acyanide capsule and shootinghimself in the head. Soon after,Germany unconditionally surren-dered to the Allied forces, end-ing Hitler's dreams of a "1,000-year" Reich.

Since at least 1943, it wasbecoming increasingly clear thatGermany would fold under thepressure of the Allied forces. InFebruary of that year, the Ger-man 6th Army, lured deep intothe Soviet Union, was annihilat-ed at the Battle of Stalingrad,and German hopes for a sus-tained offensive on both frontsevaporated. Then, in June 1944,the Western Allied armies land-ed at Normandy, France, andbegan systematically to pushthe Germans back toward Ber-lin. By July 1944, several Ger-

man military commanders ac-knowledged their imminent de-feat and plotted to remove Hitlerfrom power so as to negotiate amore favorable peace. Their at-tempts to assassinate Hitlerfailed, however, and in his repris-als, Hitler executed over 4,000fellow countrymen.

In January 1945, facing asiege of Berlin by the Soviets,Hitler withdrew to his bunker tolive out his final days. Located55 feet under the chancellery,the shelter contained 18 roomsand was fully self-sufficient, withits own water and electrical sup-ply. Though he was growing in-creasingly mad, Hitler continuedto give orders and meet withsuch close subordinates as Her-mann Goering, Heinrich Himmlerand Josef Goebbels. He alsomarried his long-time mistressEva Braun just two days beforehis suicide.

In his last will and testament,Hitler appointed Admiral KarlDonitz as head of state andGoebbels as chancellor. He thenretired to his private quarterswith Braun, where he and Braunpoisoned themselves and theirdogs, before Hitler then alsoshot himself with his service pis-tol.

Hitler and Braun's bodies werehastily cremated in the chancel-lery garden, as Soviet forcesclosed in on the building. Whenthe Soviets reached the chancel-lery, they removed Hitler's ash-es, continually changing their lo-cation so as to prevent Hitler dev-otees from creating a memorialat his final resting place. Onlyeight days later, on May 8, 1945,the German forces issued anunconditional surrender, leavingGermany to be carved up by thefour Allied powers.

Ang talangkani PNoy

“NASA alaala ko pa po ang kuwento ng mga Pilipinong alimango.Siguro po narinig na ito ng ilan sa inyo: sa loob daw po ng isangbar, umiinom ang isang Amerikano. Pumasok ang isangmangingisdang Pilipino na may dalang timba na puno ng alimango.Ibinaba niya ito; ang sabi ng Amerikano: “Buddy, your crabs areabout to escape.” Ang sagot naman ng Pilipino: “Don’t bother; they’reFilipino crabs. Before they get out they’ll be pulled in.” Walangmakakaangat, kasi lahat sila naghahatakan pababa. Habang pinipilitng ilang kababayan nating makaahon, siya namang sipag ng ilanna hilain siya pababa.”

Ito ang pambungad na pananalita ni Pangulong Benigno “PNoy”Aquino III sa talumpating binigas sa pagbubukas ng dalawang arawna Philippine Press Institute National Press Forum (PPI-NPF) naisinasagawasa Traders Hotel Manila noong Abril 23 at 24.

Hindi ko alam kung saang kagubatang kongreto isinilang at

lumaki ang speech writer ni PNoy.Ako po ay isinilang sa bukirin ng Hagonoy, at limang taon pa

lamang ay naghuhuli na ng talangka sa bukid kung buwan ng Hunyohanggang Setyembre noong Dekada 70.

PuntongBulacan

Dino Balabo

Sa kaalaman ng marami, may tatlong paraan

kaming ginagamit noon maramihang paghuli ngtalangka.

Una ay sa pamamagitan ng bintol. Ito yungpinag-ekis na maikling kawayan na may lambatsa ilalim at may paing isda. Inilulubog ito sa tubigsa bukid, palaisdaan o sapa. Pagkaraan ng ilangminuto ay pinapandaw at ang mga talangka ayisinasalin sa timba.

Ikalawa ay sa pamamagitan ng lambat o

bukatot na nakauman sa ilog, sapa o kaya ay saprinsa ng bukid o palaisdaan.

Ikatlo ay sa pamamagitan ng “tabong bikbik”o bao ng niyog na may pain na basang darak.Inilulubog ito sa tubig ng bukid o palaisdaan.Marami ang tabong bikbik, nakahilera ito ng maydalawa hanggang tatlong metro ang bawat isa.Dahil nakalubog sa tubig, kailangang tarawan itong pinutol na tambo o kinayas na kawayan upangmatukoy kung saan nakalubog.

Okey, suriin muna natin ang pambungad na

saknong ng talumpating binigkas ni PNoy.Malamang hindi siya ang sumulat nito, tiyak naspeech writer lang.

Pero may problema po ang speech writer niPNoy dahil hindi magkakaungay ang binanggitna impormasyon.

Una, binanggit sa talumpati ni Pnoy ay ang

kuwento ng “Pilipinong alimango” na nag-aakyatan sa labi ng timba.

Tapos ay ininglis at ang sabi ay “they’re Filipinocrabs.” Tama po ang translation di ba? Alimango,tapos “crabs.”

Pero kung susuriin natin ang kuwento,

makikita natin ang mali. Ang alimango ay angmalalaki at bruskong pinsan ng mga talangka, dipo ba?

Eto ang mali sa kuwento. Sumasampa dawpalabas ng timba yun alimango. Posible, pero samahabang panahon, ang mga alimango ay hindidinadala sa bar o ibinebenta ng hindi nakatali.

Kaya nga po sa Hagonoy, may kasabihan na

ang pinakamalas na lamang-dagat sa buongmundo ay ang alimango. Minsan lang daw

makarating sa palengke ay nakagapos pa.Eh bakit po hindi igagapos ang alimango, sa

laki ng mga sipit noon, pag nasipit ang anumangnakalawit sa iyo ay kayang putulin.

So, lumalabas po na iba yung alimango at

crabs na binanggit ni Pnoy sa kanyang talumpati.Malaki ang posibilidad na yung timba sa

alimango na dinala sa bar na nakita ng Amerikanoay di alimango, sa halip ay mga talangka lamang.

Imposible po talagang na alimango yung nasa

timba. Kasi nga, ang mga alimango ay iginagaposat tinatangkas pagnahuli ng mangingisda.

Isipin na lang ninyo, paano makakaakyat salabi ng timba yung nakagapos at naka-tangkasna alimango?

Ito po ang problema sa ilang speech writer,

hindi sinusuri ang kwentong sinusulat. Tapospinalabas pa ni Pnoy na bata pa siya ng marinoigang kuwentong iyan.

Lumalabas po na ang nasabing kuwento aygawa-gawa lamang upang iakma sa pananaw na“crab mentality.”

Hindi rin natin masasabing absuwelto si Pnoy

sa maling speech na ipinabasa sa kanya ngkanyang speech writer.

Hindi muna niya inunawa yung kuwento. Iyanang hirap kapag ang nagsasalita at nagkukuwentoay sa tubuhan at hindi sa bukid lumaki.

Kaya po sa susunod, kung sinuman sa atin

ang magkukuwento o gagamit na halimbawa sacrab mentality ng mga Pilipino pag-isipan munapo natin.

Mukha pong pananaw ng mayaman angipinaglalaban sa kuwento ng crab mentality athindi ang pag-uugalit sikolohiya ng samabayangPilipino.

Nakalulungkot, sa mahabang panahon ay

tinanggap natin ang pananaw na ito upang pigilantayo sa “pagbatikos” o pagtawag pansin sa mganamumuno.

Panahon napo upang malaman natin angdalawang perspektino sa pananaw na “crabmentality. Abangan po ninyo iyan sa susunod naedisyon ng Puntong Bulacan.

Ang parangal na tinang-gap ng kapitolyo ay bilangpagkilala sa maagap narehabilitasyon ng AngatDam upang maiwasan angtuluyang pagkasira ng damna maaaring magdulot ngmalawakang pagbaha salalawigan at katabing lugar.

Matatandaan na noong2009, ibinulgar ni Philip-pine Institute of Volcanol-ogy and Seismology (Phi-volcs) Director Dr. RenatoSolidum na ang AngatDam ay naka-upo sa WestMarikina Valley Faultline(WMVF) na kung gagalawanumang oras ay maaar-ing maghatid ng lindol namay lakas na 7.2 magni-tude.

Ngunit hindi agad itonabigyan daan, at binati-kos pa si Alvarado ng kan-yang mga kritiko sa pag-sasabing siya ay isang“doomsayer” o tinatakotang mga Bulakenyos.

Ang pagnanais ni Alva-rado na matiyak ang kali-gatasan ng mga Bulak-enyo ay nagkahugisnoong 2010 sa pagsisim-ula ng administrasyon niPangulong Benigno Aqui-no III.

Agad na inilatag ni Al-varado ang posibilidad ngdelubyo sa Bulacan attinugon naman ito ng Pan-gulo sa pamamagitan ngpag-aatas para sa mabi-lisang pag-aaral sa katat-agan ng dam.

Ang nasabing pag-aaral ay natapos nitongMarso kung saan ay na-kumpirma na ang dike ngdam ay naka-upo nga sasanga ng WVMF.

Dahil dito, pinaplano nasa Hunyo ang pagpapa-subasta ng kontrata parasa pagkukumpuni o reha-bilitasyon ng dam.

ikalawang palapag ng Fe-derizo Hall. Ang talakay-an ay magsisimula sa ga-nap na ika-1 ng hapon saMarso 4.

Ayon kay Rommel Ra-mos, pangalawang taga-pangulo ng NationalUnion of Journalists of thePhilippines (NUJP) Bula-can chapter, ang talakay-an ay naglalayong maipa-liwanag ang kasong libe-lo.

“Napapanahon namaunawaan ang kasonglibel dahil ito ay nagsisil-bing hadlang sa malayangpamamahayg,” ani Ra-mos.

Iginiit pa niya na ha-bang umuunlad angteknolohiya, dumaramiang mga taong gumagamitng internet at nagpapa-hayag ng mga komentongwalang pakundangan samga social networkingsites sa pananaw na wa-lang libelo sa internet.

“Maraming misconcep-tions sa libel, kaya impor-tanteng makadalo atmakapakinig sa talakayanpartikular na ang mga guroat mag-aaral ng pamama-hayag upang malamannila kung paano ito ii-wasan at haharapin,” ani

Ramos na siyang stationmanager ng Radyo Bula-can at isa ring mag-aaralng batas sa BulSU LawSchool.

Para naman kay Mar-ia Bundoc-Ocampo, angtagapaglathala ng pahay-agang Punla, hindi biroang makasuhan ng libelo.

Iginiit niya na ito aydahil sa ang kasong libeloay isang krimen.

“Yung proseso ng pag-sasampa at paglilitis salibel ay katulad ng sa mgacriminal cases, kapagnatukoy na may probablecause o malice, kasunodna ang warrant of arrest,at kung wala kang pangpiyansa, kulong ka agad,”ani Bundoc-Ocampo nanakaranas na ring maka-suhan ng libelo bilangisang dating patnugot saisang pahayagang pang-araw-araw.

Ang talakayan para saDecriminalization of Libelay inorganisa ng Philip-pine Press Institute (PPI),at Philippine Press Coun-cil (PPC) sa pakikipatulun-gan ng National Union ofJournalists of the Philip-pines (NUJP).

Ito ay suportado ngEmbahada ng EstadosUnidos sa Pilipinas, bilangbahagi ng pagdiriwang ng

WPFD sa Mayo 4.Una rito, sinabi ni

Abogado Joel Butuyan,isa sa dalawang aboga-dong nagtatag ng CenterLaw na dapat na lalongpaigtingin ng mgamamamahayag ang kam-panya para sa decriminal-ization of libel.

Sa kanyang talumpatisa mga lumahok sakatatapos na PPI Nation-al Press Forum na isina-gawa sa Traders Hotelnoong Abril 24, sinabi niButuyan na ang kasonglibelo ay nakapaloob saRevised Penal Code (RPC)ng Pilipinas na pinagtibay82 taon na ang na-kakaraan.

Sa kaso ng brod-kaster na si AlexanderAdonis ng Lungsod ngDavao, siya ay nahatulanat nabilanggo noong 2007dahil sa pagsasahimpapa-wid sa kanyang programasa radyo ng balitangnalathala sa pahayagangnakabase sa Maynilakung saan ay sinasabingsi dating House SpeakerProspero Nograles aynahuling tumatalilis saisang hotel ng hubo’t hu-ban matapos mahuli ngasawa ng kanyangdiumano’y kalaguyo.

Si Adonis ay binigyan

ng parol noong 2008.Ayon kay Butuyan,

idineklara ng United Na-tions Human Rights Com-mittee (UNHCR) na angbatas na sumasakop sakasong libelo sa bansa aylumalabag sa Internation-al Covenant on Civil andPolitical Rights (ICCPR)kung saan ang Pilipinas ayisa sa mga lumagda.

Ang deklarasyon ngUNHCR ay kaugnay ngreklamo ni Adonis.

Ayon kay Butuyan, isi-nasaad ng UNHCR’s Gen-eral Commentary 34 angsumusunod, “Defamationlaws must be crafted withcare to ensure that theycomply with paragraph 3,and that they do not serve,in practice, to stifle free-dom of expression.”

Isinasaad naman ngparagraph 3 ang su-musunod: “Freedom ofexpression is a necessarycondition for the realizationof the principles of trans-parency and accountabili-ty that are, in turn, essen-tial for the promotion andprotection of human rights.

“Ang hamon sa mgamamamahayag ngayon aykumbinsihin ang gobyernosa isinasaad ng UNHRCsa pamamagitan ng lehis-lasyon” ani Butuyan.

“Dumarating naman ’yun sa tamang panahon, sa tamang pagkakataon, sa tamang tao at sa tamang circumstance. So, I guess maymga bagay na kailangan tayong gawin na naaayon sa pagkakataon na ibinibigay sa atin.

“Ang sa akin po, I guess I’m just going with the flow. Nagtatrabaho ako, kung ano ang pinapagawa sa akin, ’yun ang gagawin ko.Kung anuman ’yung sa personal na buhay ko, dumarating at dumarating po ’yun. At you deal with it as you go through it. So, sa akinpo, in time siguro,” mahabang say ng aktor.

Sa tingin ba niya, hindi niya pa lang nahanap ’yung hinahanap niya talaga?“Mahirap magsalita, eh. Mahirap magsalita, especially sa ganitong pagkakataon, mahirap ma-misquote and ayokong mabigyan ng

ibang meaning ’yung sasabihin ko. So, I’d rather keep it to myself.“In time siguro, malalaman naman natin, hindi naman tayo bumabata. I remember being asked the same question

Mga kaaway ni Annabelle Rama kaibigan na ni RuffaANO NGA BA ang naging reaction ni Ruffa Gutierrez nang i-offer sa kanya ni Mother Lily

ang Mother’s Day presentation, the horror comedy “The Mommy Returns?” Alam naman ng lahat na nagging magkaawaysina Annabelle Rama at Pokwang dahil sa mga pag-impersonate ni Pokwang na tila iniinsulto ang pagka-Bisaya ng nanayni Ruffa. Ayon sa kanya, this is now water under the bridge and Annabelle is even amused when she sees Pokwangimpersonating her on the set of “The Mommy Returns.”

“Okay na sila ni Mommy and ako mismo, natutuwang kasama si Pokwang sa set kasi pinatatawa niya kami ng cast inbetween takes. Kapag ginagaya niya si Mommy, hindi lang ako ang aliw na aliw kundi pati si Mommy rin, talagang nag-eenjoy sa kanya. If you won’t look at her and just listen to her talk, aakalain mo talaga si Mommy ang nagsasalita. Butalthough masaya kami off cam, on cam, magkaaway kami rito ni Pokwang kahit na nga multo pa ang role niya rito. Kasi,kahit patay na siya, nakikialam pa rin siya sa buhay namin ng former husband niyang si Gabby Concepcion at ang mga anaknila. Talakan talaga kami sa eksena at di ako natatakot sa multo.”

Aside from Pokwang, another actress in the cast also had a tiff with Annabelle, Gloria Diaz. “Pero tapos na rin yun, naayosna namin ang lahat. It’s just a simple case of misunderstanding. Alam ni Mommy that I enjoy working with Tita Gloria kasishe’s full of words of wisdom about love, life and men. Never ending ang chikahan namin sa set.”

Ikinatutwa ni Ruffa na muli silang nagkasama ni Gabby Concepcion. “He’s my leading man in the only movie I did directedby the great Lino Brocka, ‘Makiusap Ka sa Diyos’, for which I got nominated as best actress. I played a good girl who wantsto be a nun at siya yung devil who tempted me.”

Niratrat ng kabastusan…Pati presidente ng National Press Club

di na sinanto ni Annabelle RamaHINDI AKALAIN ni NPC President Jerry Yap na siya msimo ay magiging biktima ngkabastusan ni Annabelle Rama. With his nasty experience with Annabelle, th NP prexy realizedna true pala yung laging nanggugulo si Annabelle sa buhay ng mga nabibiktima niya.

Can you imagine nga naman, na sa kagustuhang ayusin ng kasalukuyang National Press Club Presidentna ayusin ang isang harassment case na isinumbong sa kanyang opisina, mismong siya ay niratrat ng kabastusanni Annabelle Rama.

Nagulat nga ang presidente ng National Press Club at publisher ng pahayagang Hataw na si Mr. Jerry Yapnang makatanggap ng isang tawag mula kay Annabelle Rama.

Unang tumawag daw si Annabelle sa tanggapan ng NPC sa 4th flr., ngunit wala roon si Mr. Yap. Kaya satanggapan ng Hataw na nagkausap ang ina Ruffa Gutierrez at ang aming publisher.

Unang birada pa lamang ni Annabelle ay halata na ang taas ng boses na animo’y kung sino lamang angkausap niya sa kabilang linya. Mabuti na lamang at mapagpakumbaba ang aming publisher at malumanaypa rin niyang kinausap si Annabelle.

Ayon sa aming publisher, “dire-diretso siya magsalita, isang bitiw ko pa lang ng salita, marami na siyangsinasabi at dire-diretso, hindi ako makasingit,” kuwento ni Mr. Yap.

Nais ni Annabelle na pagsabihan ni Mr. Yap ang isa sa aming kolumnista na si Chito Alcid. Inireklamokasi kamakailan ni Mr. Alcid si Annabelle ng pangha-harass sa kanya at pagbabanta.

Sinabi pa ni Annabelle, na kung ano-ano raw ang itine-text sa kanya ni Alcid na gumagamit pa ng iba’tibang pangalan.

Ani Mr. Yap, marami pang pinagsasabi si Annabelle sa kanya na sa bilis at sunod-sunod ay hindi na niyahalos maintindihan. Kumbaga, niratrat o hinaras din niya ang presidente ng NPC.

Nakatatawa naman itong si Annabelle, utusan ba naman ang presidente ng NPC na pagsabihan (read:patahimikin) ang isang reporter/kolumnista. Sino ba sa akala ni Annabelle ang kausap niya? Maaari namansiyang makipag-usap nang maayos kay Mr. Yap at hindi iyong parang batang pinagagalitan o inuutusan.

No wonder, maraming nakakaaway itong si Annabelle.Piolo Pascual
