Nagkita  maja  mi ni Liklik  sa  TBTK...

sa Bohol mo nagkita, Inday? 

Kods, unsa may kahulugan kon magsige ta'g damgo sa mga dead relatives nato?

Not so long ago, nadamguhan nako akong Lolo ug Lola na dugay nang namatay.  Sa pagkakita nako, nakalingkod akong Lolo sa usa ka taas na lingkoranan (mura'g high chair sa bata bitaw) then pagkakita nya nako, ning kanaog sya unya tungod kay tiguwang naman jud sya kaayo, mura'g na out balance sya unya na dretso sya ka tumba nako mao to akong nasawo ug naka hug dayon ko nya.  He was in his 70s when he died but when I saw him in my dream, mura sya'g almost 100 na, which was his actual age. 

One time too, nadamguhan nko akong brother in law na namatay na while ga trabaho sa pagka polis.  Ning ingon sya nako na, "Ate Ging, kinahanglan si Mikay (iyang asawa) ug tabang, Te."  I even told him na gwapo lang gihapon sya mura'g wa sya namatay.  Right after pagkamata nako, I called my sister and before I could tell her anything, nag cry sya kay problemado sya kay ilang tulo ka anak ga sakit and she needed financial help.  Ako question, Kods, ako ba jud tong brother in law ang gapakita nko or was that just a figment of my imagination?

Dia  ra  ko ...late  kaajo  !! Sorry!!  Thank you  Bambi  for  letting  me  know  about  this  thread!! Daghan  kaajong  salamat  sa injong birthday  greetings  and  good  wishes!! My  special  day  went  well!! Celebrated  it  with  friends  and  family. I thank the  good  Lord  for  the blessings of  another  year  of  good  health  and  loving  family  and  friends!

Bambi,  I  love  the  Birthday  Song of  Corrinne  May. I  actually  met her  and  her  band several  times  here  in LA  every time  she  launches her  new CDs. She's  great and  a very  sweet  talented  young   artist!! I  think she   is  having a  baby  or  maybe  already  had  one.  Again, THANK  YOU  for  making  my  b-day  special!

Naa diay ka sa LA, Inday?

Flower, mao nay mga politiko na di angay pasanayon.  Sa ako lang feeling ba, mura'g wa may delicadeza, if that's the right word, kon imo mismong asawa ug anak or any immediate family imong i tuboy. Naa gud clear conflict of interest.  Pero lagi pod ang mga tawo man unta ang mag botar so naa sa ila ang discretion kon angay ba kining mga tawhana hatagan ug katungdanan.  hahay

I have one book that I read when I was still in college and I always have a copy in my book shelves:  The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. 

I also found The Rule of Four very interesting.  I borrowed that book from the library and I have been thinking of getting one so I can read again.

gahapon pa jud mi ga hisgot ug patis.  nag lunch ko sa akong miga dayon ga serve sya'g sinigang na pork ribs.  nag ask ko'g patis kay lami kaayo iparis - ituslob ang karne.

Kung bag o na ganing mayor ang mulingkod looy tawn ang mga empleyado kay manglimpyu man jud ang mayor, tangtangon ang mga casual pulihan sa iyang tawo unya ang mga regular na ibutang sa ubos nga posisyon.

basihan unta ang performance sa empleyado ba dili ang ilang political affiliations.  maayo unta naay independent body in charged sa hiring kay kon tanan na lang tawo sa mayor, ma wa ang atong gina ingon ug "check and balance".

aguy kalami ani mikey!

Quality of information most of all. I was amazed at the thread of Grace´s cakes and beyond. They are work of art and talent.

Salamat kaayo, Manay oi for appreciating my cakes.  I know a lot of people can do better cakes than what I can do but I really appreciate na gipisikan ko ug talent ni Lord in decorating cakes and baking yummy cakes as well.  I am still trying to develop to better my work. 

Quote from: Koddi Prudente on September 20, 2009, 04:33:13 PM
Grabe kanindot sa design anang mga cakes ni Grace. Sa asa ra tuod to nga thread?

Salamat kaayo, Kods!

As I said in the past, ma uwaw unta ko modawat sa inyong pagdayeg but I think to refuse compliments is to refuse to acknowledge that God blessed this skill (or if this talent) to me.  So I humbly say to all of you,  thank you!

I used honey when my kids were teething because, it sooths the swollen gums ( I rub it on the gums).
Talking about Germans race, I have read that there are Alpine and nordic stocks, hence huge frames blonds, some are shorter or darker in hair colors.
My kids have had black hairs but as they grow older the hair turn lighter (my partner is redhead).


Akong  ulitawong gamay 16, si dalaga 26. Dili nako ihisgot ang ngalan kay ma-google napod ni nila makasab-an ko.

beautiful children, manay!  maklaro na nice, respectful and cool-headed mga bataa. 

Never jud mi nalatusan ni Daddy kay si Mommy to hilig manghampak kon makasa mi pero mas kurog mi n Daddy.  Ngano kaha to ba na si Mommy dali ra mo kab-ot ug silhig panghampak pero di jud mi mahadlok pero si usa ka tingog lang ni Daddy kurog nami!  Siguro di jud to kaayo sakit pagkahampaka kay wa man jud mi motagam.   

I have no resentment whatsoever to my mother for how she dealt with us when we were young.  She raised 13 children with a little help from my Dad and us, the elder children.  I appreciate my Mom now more than ever even if I never got to have children of my own.  Dire, gareklamo na mga katawhan kay naa sila'y 3 ka anak ga atimanon unya gani naa pa'y mga day care gabilinan sa mga anak. 

To Manay and Raquel,  I guess you are best mothers now because of your childhood experience with your respective mothers.

Kods, I like Lea Salonga a lot but I think your "advertisement" is far better than hers!  You very believable that I want to rush to the Pinoy store close by to check if they are selling Hapee toothpaste!  Lamoiyan Corporation should see this post of yours.  Seriously!

Quote from: benelynne on September 19, 2009, 10:42:08 AM
The way the minority of policemen in otherwise peaceful Japan shoot themselves in the foot is almost comical:

• A police traffic safety superintendent runs away from an accident he has caused. He just came from an outdoor party of police officers--probably celebrating the dramatic decrease in drunk-driving-related car accidents in Japan. It was found out later on that he was driving with more than the tolerable level of alcohol.
• A policeman in charge of theft investigation was caught stealing.

Bene san, this also reminds me of a case here where a policeman was caught stealing.  He stole used cooking oil for recycling!  tsk tsk tsk  During the labor day weekend, a deputy sheriff (off duty at that time) was arrested due to property damages and was facing DUI.  Her SUV plowed the Starbucks establishment after already hitting a couple of vehicles in the street. 

Gay, congratulations to your brother and cousin and to the whole Taganahan and Bullecer Family! 

Quote from: benelynne on September 19, 2009, 10:28:28 AM
Hi tgnd,

Did I read this correctly, the victim's wife, who allegedly hired the gunman, is "deceased"? It's terrible enough when a marriage falls apart, but it's horrendous when a couple evens out unsettled grudges through the barrel of a gun. If, as you said, the wife is also dead already--for whatever reason--this just reminds us never to take the law into our hands.

Romans 12:19
Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY," says the Lord.

When I read thegirlnextdoor's post earlier, I was surprised to read that the victim's wife is also deceased already.  I searched in Bohol Chronicle if there was any report of this man's wife being dead but I couldn't find one.   I wasn't sure if the couple have kids.  If they have, I just feel so sad for the children.

Salamat Grazie7y nga bililhon diay alang kanimo kadtong akong nahisgotan kabahin sa udlot sa okra. Thru TB atong masana-sana ang atong katakus sa pagsabwag og mga kasayuran, mahinungdanon man o alang lang sa kabuang. Pinaagi sa mga tubag sa atong mga tampo, atong masayran kon unsa kita ka epektibo o dili ka epektibo sa atong pagpadayag.

daghan man kaayo mo'g bililhon na nadalit ug nakat-unan nko.  usa na adtong imong gi share pod na pag compost.  mura pod ko'g korek kay adtong pag volunteer nako sa state fair, dihay mga farmers ning anha sa booth sa Save Our Water where I was assigned, nag jama-jama pod ko ug teach sa mga tawo adtong composting method imong gitudlo.  the good thing about it is that dihay poy mga tawo na ning aprob sa akong gi share! hahahah

naa pay inyong mga binisaya na naka refresh sa akong pangdumduman. 

salamat kaninyong tanan!

silhig tingting/gungi pod to pang hampak ni mommy sa amoa pero sa legs ug sa tiil ra man mi adto hampakon.  ang kasakit lang adto kay kami pa jud ga bagos sa gungi.

as to the story, kaluoy pod bya sa inahan.  wa nya na control iyang disappointment sa iyang anak mao to na sobrahan.  nan karon, ma priso pa sya while magmahay sa iyang gibuhat.  very tragic and sad. 

may this boy, Ronald, rest in peace.

let's take note that there are also good policemen out there. there maybe crooks but there are only few of them.

I agree with you, Ray:  there's more good police officers than the bad ones.  The thing is that people take notice more of the bad than the good ones. 

I enjoyed watching the game.  Naka cry pod ko pagka daog ni Del Potro.

no, not all questions are problems.  there are some rhetorical questions.  no need for answers.   

seryos na ni kay basin ma ban ko nimo glace

1.  I felt like seeing Bohol thru my screen where I can see the past (sa pag hisgot sa atong mga ka agi), the present (mga news bisan sahay naay di kamao mo balita) and the future (sa pag kukabildo sa mga political aspirations sa atong mga kandidto ug mga proyekto like the bridge of nowhere  )

2.  I gained more friends.  I have lost a few but I guess those were not worth keeping for.

1. ikaw ug ang imong dalit dire, glace 

2.  kon naa na ba tubag kon unsay tagalog sa toothpaste! 

daghan ko'g na learn pod dire sa TB.

TB is like an interactive diary.  Magsulat ka sa imong gibati dayon naay mo dalit.

Di nko gusto malimtan na thru TB (courtesy of Koddi), nahibal-an nako na makaon diay ang udlot sa okra. Ako na ning nasulayan ug nakagusto akong bana.  Gisagol nako sa tinolang manok.

Hello everyone, here is my newborn - Joshua Dale Williams.   

karon pa nako ni nahikaplagi na thread.

Amy and Gary, CONGRATULATIONS to both of you for a very beautiful baby!

What a waste of life for these two individuals.   

It's beyond me what can make a person curtail a life of another person.  And to think they were not known to have extreme animosity towards each other.  What was really the motive?  Raymond had a good life with a loving gf while Ana Le was set to be married that weekend too when she was found dead.

May Ana Le rest in peace and I also pray for the healing among members of the families involved  - both the victim's and suspect's families.

Dear Indaymen,

Thanks a lot for your earlier message.  I am also hoping that someday, somehow, somewhere, we can bump each other and we will have a chance to know more.  For now, let's start here in TB. 

I am almost certain too that you are deserving to be called Bol-anon.  Bol-anon by blood or not, there's always the "Bol-anon" in us and that is being kind and nice!

Take care and may God continue to bless you and your family.

TBingly yours,

HILD OF THE SUN: Demons and Doctors (4): The Ultimate.
    
by Ting Tiongco/MindaNews   
Sunday, 30 August 2009 07:31
DAVAO CITY (MindaNews/29 Aug) --

We all die.

Everybody knows that.

But before we die, we get sick. More often than not, we get very, very sick before we finally die.

As a matter of fact, between now and the time we die, we will probably get sick a few times. This is inevitable.

But nobody wants to prepare for that. People do not even want to consider it.
“Live like a King, die like a rat!” is the motto of most Filipinos. And indeed, everyday you will find them by the dozens dying away miserably in the emergency rooms and admitting sections of government hospitals in the country, bereft of money and the capacity to provide for the basic medications to treat their illnesses and prolong their lives.

Their very concerned and disconsolate family members and relatives cluster around them, each trying in his/her own way to help. They contact their rich relatives, their past and present employers, their political patrons, their parish priests, bishops, money lenders, etc for financial assistance.

Each one pulls out his/her cell phone…

Aye and Aray! And there is the rub: The cell phone.

The average Filipino would rather spend for vices and the inessentials (like cell phones) rather than save for his health. He spends 8% of his income for liquor and cigarettes, more than 15 % for cell phone loads and only a measly 2% to save his life in case he gets very sick.

He is loathe to spend for his family’s health, preferring to ignore his baby’s cough and use his money for his nightly bottle of gin rather than consult a doctor. Then a week later, he tearfully rushes the child to a charity hospital in the terminal throes of pneumonia.

The Filipino’s health needs must all be answered on an emergency basis:

A tricycle driver rushes his wife, nine months pregnant and in active labour, to the government hospital accompanied by the usual gaggle of relatives. As they carry her screaming to the labour room, he approaches the doctor.

He smells of alcohol and sucks on a cigarette as he begs.

“Dok, tulungan nyo po kami... Manganganak na ang asawa ko. Wala kaming pera. Emergency lang po ito!”

How is a doctor supposed to react to this?

Every person has a right to Health. But every right carries a corresponding Responsibility. And this is a responsibility that the Filipino chooses to ignore.

This is how the PhilHealth and the HMOs literally make a killing, if he is employed.

This is where he comes to grief, if he is under or unemployed. Because there just isn’t enough money for his health needs.

But there is money for alcohol and cigarettes, or for lotto and jueteng. And he has been known to use his food budget just for cell phone loads.

The Demon in every Filipino leads him to forgo the most essential for the pitifully inessential in his daily range of priorities.

And when his baby dies in the emergency room due to his neglect and his incapacity to provide the necessary medicines, he blames everybody for it. And he directs most of his ire against the government.

“Tal pueblo, tal gobierno!” Rizal said.

"Blame the Government, Blame yourself!" A people gets the government it deserves.

The Filipino has been described in so many unflattering ways: Indolent, Irresponsible, Immature, Incapable of postponing gratification, Short of attention span, Pleasure oriented, Wily, Shallow, Callow, Selfish, Clannish.

And for the Filipino to rely for his health needs on a Government that is at best described as inutile and at worst, predatory, may be called purely and simply stupid.

However, the Filipino may be so many things to so many people, but stupid, he is not. He may be confused culturally but he is an acutely intelligent person, capable of lightning insights and sudden heroic deeds.

So what could be the reason for the insane paradoxes in the country’s health situation?

A German once mentioned to me that perhaps the Filipino is lacking in Gemeinshaftsgefuehl. Roughly translated, it means a feeling of community belongingness, outside of his clan.

I did mention to her that without the Gemeinshaftsgefuehl the Filipinos showed in fighting the Japanese in the Second World War, the entire South East Asia all the way down to Australia would still be speaking Japanese.

And I could not resist mentioning that the First People Power that everybody in the world admired and never yet equalled was a spectacular example of Gemeinshaftsgefuehl.

She smiled and said that very well fitted the Filipino’s penchant for the spectacular. But spectacles come few and far between. What was needed was an everyday example of Gemeinshaftsgefuehl. Like not throwing your garbage in your neighbour’s yard, even if no one is looking and you can get away with it.

It is true.

And perhaps, we should all be little boys, offering our five loaves and two fishes to our communities. Every day.

That would kill the Demon in us.

That would show the world what a Filipino really is.

And would be the perfect example of genuine People Power.

CHILD OF THE SUN: Demons and Doctors (3), By Ting Tiongco     
by Ting Tiongco/MindaNews   
Sunday, 23 August 2009 07:50

DAVAO CITY (MindaNews/22 August) â€"

A lawyer, an engineer and an agriculturist go up to heaven for their just rewards.



At the pearly gates, they meet St. Peter who acknowledges their right to enter heaven but remands them to the side while he is waiting for a very important person to arrive.

         Soon, a doctor appears, apparently shortly after his surgery. He is dressed in a scrub
         suit and is still wearing his surgical cap. His surgical mask is pushed down his chin, and he
         is smoking a cigarette with relish.

He ambles through the pearly gates, blows a cloud of smoke, flicks his cigarette away, and waves to St. Peter, who is bowing very low to him.

“Yo, Pete!” the doctor calls, “How ya doin’?”


And without waiting for a reply, he disappears into heaven’s interior.


The lawyer is aghast.


“Who the hell does that doctor think he is, anyway?” he demands, “GOD?!?”


St. Peter reddens and puts his finger to his lips.

         
          “Shhh! Not so loud!” he whispers, “Sometimes, HE thinks HE’s a doctor!”



This little joke illustrates the high regard the doctor has in the community. So high that even God himself sometimes plays doctor. And it stands to reason. Jesus could not have been as effective if he confined his miracles merely to provide wine and food for the people. He had to cure the sick.

Because physical illness is often associated with evil and demons. That is why priests and pastors, representing God since past history up to the present time, go around casting out demons from sick people and are followed by multitudes seeking to be cured and even in some cases, brought back to life!



But nobody, not even the priest or pastor, prepares for this role longer and more intensively (and painfully) than the doctor.



Medical courses in more prestigious universities are open only to the crème de la crème of all college graduates. Only the Best and the Brightest. And the entire process of graduating a doctor takes 10 long years, the longest professional course ever. And the most expensive.



And one of the more sad things about a Medical School graduate is that when politicians in congress want to earn pogi points with their voters, they pass a law requiring him to render rural service from six months to one year. Without pay.



Incredible.



Congress never demanded this kind of service from the other university graduates. Not from the lawyers, from engineers, not even from the graduates of agricultural schools and the colleges of social service!



But after the totally confusing rural stint of this hospital-trained Medical School graduate, he is still considered a raw doctor. So he undergoes another four to five years of rigorous, rigid training in an accredited hospital for specialization. So the sleepless nights and the heavy readings continue even as they now have the responsibilities of saving (and losing) lives. Yet this 24 hour, 30 day job pays less than a lower management staff worker in a bank.



A doctor’s pay scale is a curious thing. If some rich guy, like Zobel de Ayala or Manuel V. Pangilinan were to have emergency surgery for strangulated haemorrhoids and the surgeon charged him ten million pesos for that, he probably would yell bloody murder and accuse the poor chap of OVERCHARGING, even if his life depended on the operation. (How much are they worth, by the way?)



But he probably won’t utter a sigh or bat his lashes if he were charged the same amount by a lawyer who produces a legal document that earns him billions in return.



No wonder we lose 70 to 90% of our doctors.



The doctor is the most exploited professional in the Philippines even as he is eminently aware of his inherent worth. Yet he endures all this abuse and slavery without as much as a whimper.



Until he becomes a specialist, working in some lights-a-popping hospital in Manila or in other big cities in the Philippines.



Then he begins to show the horns that have been slowing growing on his head after all the years of hardship and exploitation he went through.



It is true what Rizal said, “Los esclavos de hoy, son los tiranos de manana.”



The most abused slave can, at the blink of an eye, become the cruellest exploiter this side of purgatory.

And the demon-caster can easily become the Demon himself.

To Statesville and Dodong Bran,

Thanks a lot for your input guys and especially coming from you who are in the medical fields.

Ang mga kahoy gasugod na ka yellow ang mga dahon taud-tuad mangatak-tak na kini.  Mura man ni'g kanta ni Daddy na Alimokoy!

Surrounding their nipa hut is vast farmland with all kinds of crops and flowers.  Imay looks more lovely and happy when she is in her flower garden.

Father, busy kaayo akong week oi!  Between my Feed The Needy and Bereavement Ministries, plus gahapon whole day mi sa blessing sa new church where my aunt belongs to.  Ang founding priest, si Father Cesar Ageas is a Filipino from Mindanao.  First time ever to nako naka attend ug dedication mass for a new church.  Interesting kaayo!  The mass was also attended by so many priests, mostly Filipinos! 

Pagsulod namo sa church, natingala ko kon mao na ba to'y new era church na wa jud cloth sa altar, tabernacle was empty, basta mingaw kaayo tan-awon.  Then the ceremony started.  Aguy, usa ka dako'ng botilya gi bubo sa altar by Bishop Soto then gi trapuhan nija using white clothes with the help of three priests.  Daghan pa to'ng gi bless before jud nagsugod ang I was so happy I attended that jud kay experience of a lifetime siguro to.

Whole day celebration kay pagkagabii, diha'y concert and entertainment - singing and dancing and raffle draw.

I am really glad I attended that dedication mass because it may be an experience of a lifetime.  It was a very nice celebration jud! 
 
Naka attend na pod ko'g misa requiem (tama ba na spelling) didto sa Boljoon kay dihay nagkawat sa mga santos.  I am sorry but the mass was kind of spooky.

Yes, we can!

A couple of days ago, an embarrasing scene was played on tv when a flip general was carried on someone else shoulder so he wouldnt get wet when he stepped on a banka boat. The american officer on the other hand waded on the water and stepped on the banka without any help.

See the symbolism on why the philippines have problems ?

I think the Filipino General should be fired. How could he win the war against the Abu Sayaf? Eh, tubig lang takot na siya. Nakakahiya!!

Lalong nakakahiya doon sa Kano na kasunod niya.

he he he he he he he he

BAGONG PEDICURE SIGURO ANG LOKO.

ano ba yan, ning burot tawon ang apapangig sa ga karga kay gibug-atan ni general.  pagkamakauulaw oi!  i wish we can get his side of this story. 

I agree; bosses, managers, supervisors should treat their employees with dignity and respect.  Dapat wala'y distinction gani ma boss sila or ma subordinates.  Daghan na ta'g nabalitaan na mga amo gipatay sa ilang house helpers kay di na makaon ang batasan sa ilang amo.  Dapat maka learn na kining mga mga tawhana.  But at the end of the day, in this case, who really suffered most?  Di ba ang soldier man and his own family?  And most probably also, the family of the sergeant!  Because the soldier took the law into his own hands, many people are suffering right now.  The soldier may get the "respect" of his peers but it wouldn't erase the fact that he is now a murderer.

Column dated 12 August 2009 for mindanews:


      "The problem of medical economics is part of the problem of world economics and is inseparable and indivisible from it. Medicine, as we are practicing it today, is a luxury trade. We are selling bread for the price of jewels. The poor who comprise 80% of our population cannot pay and starve; the doctors cannot sell and suffer. The people have no health protection and the doctors, no economic security."

I wish I said that.

But they were said more than 70 years ago by Dr. Henry Norman Bethune, a brilliant Canadian Thoracic Surgeon, painter, poet, inventor, originator of the first MASH (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital), and dedicated teacher to those who worked alongside this indefatigable person. He died on November 13, 1939 in North China, fighting for his ideals in Mao Tse Tung’s army against the invading imperial Japanese army.

But what he said then is still very true today. Perhaps even truer. Especially in the Philippines.

This is because, even in those times, institutions had already placed themselves between the doctor and his patient; and they were already laughing all the way to their banks.

There was a time when the only person who stood beside the doctor in his clinic, other than the nurse, was his pharmacist, who compounded the galenicals, medicines that the doctor tailor-fitted for his patient. And these medicines were the cheapest and most effective, being customized for the individual patient.

Then the drug industry came and erased all this with mass produced medications that they advertised as more accurate, more convenient, more hygienic, more scientific, and more effective. They were also more expensive, which really makes it a bit strange because mass manufactured goods are supposed to be cheaper than customized items.

But greed, reflected by the unethical marketing practices on the doctors by the drug companies placed these medicines out of the reach of the average patient.

So into this breach, sprang in the next demon: The Health Insurance. Or his even more evil brother the Health Maintenance Organization (HMO). The HMOs, being pre-need companies, are not under the control of the usual insurance laws that protect the insured from undue exploitation.

The concept of sharing risks and resources are as old as tribal Man himself. A tribe develops when a group of people band together to meet their needs collectively for the better survival of the most number of people. And sharing of resources is the best way to the satisfaction of an individual’s needs and survival of the many in a community.

And it is not surprising that Jesus’ second miracle was about sharing. When five thousand Jews followed Him up a mountain in the hope of seeing Him rain manna from heaven, He shamed them into sharing their hastily packed meager lunches by showing them a little boy who was willing to share his five loaves and two fishes with the multitude.

Indeed when everybody had eaten his fill, there were still 12 baskets of food left over. It was not the Miracle of Multiplication. It was the Miracle of Division. Sharing what little you have willingly with the rest.

But this is not the same as Health Insurance; because with the HMO, the Devil now stands between the Good and the Multitude. And instead of offering security and survival, the Demon is selling Fear. The Fear of the inevitable illness when one is in the prime productive period of his life. And when one’s productive life is over, the poor individual is culled or deselected from the rest; left without any hope of affording health care exactly at the time he needs it most: his old age.

This fear of illness and disability and the subsequent inability to work and be productive for his/her family, sends the individual into panic; because he knows that a certain number of industrial illnesses lead to slow incapacitation and chronicity. So he grabs at the juiciest (and most expensive) package the Demon dangles. But when he discovers that he does not get as sick as he feared, he feels cheated. So he decides to cheat back and malingers. This is aided and abetted by the health benefactor, the doctor, who discovers that he suddenly has lost his private practice to the HMO and is actually working as its casual employee. He gets paid by the piece (patient) and his fees are predetermined by the HMO.

The Demon gets back at both of them by deselecting the chronically ill patients (woe to those who do not malinger!) and slashing the doctors’ and the hospital fees.

The hospitals, when they find their fees slashed, get into the cheating fray by padding their bills. And they do it with gusto because the HMOs and especially the PhilHealth (Medicare) do not pay their bills on time. Sometimes, if not often, particularly when the government needs money to foot the bill for some high officials’ junkets abroad or his/her reelection expenses, PhilHealth postpones payment for a year or two. With no consideration for cost of money. This is a supreme example of cheating disguised as bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo. And this has been one of the main reasons for the collapse of quite a number of smaller hospitals in the countryside. Those that really serve the less fortunate.

And so a real vicious cycle, a downward spiral occurs. The Germans call it the Teufelskreis, the Devil’s Circle that goes straight down to hell.

There are no little boys with five loaves and two fishes out there anymore. 

There are only Demons fighting each other for a better hold.

And even Obama, the Savior of the Universe, is still in limbo. Neither black nor white.

Not even gray.

His article for mindanews.com dated July 26, 2009, sub-titled:  Health Care Ethics




-- The problems of health care delivery in the Philippines are tremendous and overwhelming. Traditionally, the sector that bears the brunt of these problems has been the so-called Health Care Benefactors: doctors, nurses and those engaged in allied medical professions. And the venue for the health services given by these Benefactors has been traditionally the Hospital.It is not openly acknowledged, or is conveniently forgotten that Health is a multi-sectoral concern. What is a doctor, as a Health Benefactor and guardian of the health of his community, to do if 30% of the population of the Philippines does not have access to potable water and he treats the same water borne diseases year after year on the same patients (if they survive that particular year).What is he supposed to do when 80% of the children in the community are malnourished for lack of protein intake and prone to the diseases that come with lack of adequate food?What is he going to do if about 70% of his patients do not have proper shelter and suffer from tuberculosis and pneumonia and the other attendant diseases coupled with human congestion?What is he going to do if 75% of his patients cannot afford his services or the treatment that he prescribes?The answer is simple.He packs his bags and leaves for the USA where his 15-year training as a hospital specialist is more appreciated and paid beyond his wildest dreams in the Philippines. There he enjoys wallowing in relative wealth until his later years when he discovers that he is a cultural cripple. Neither completely American nor completely Filipino -carrying on a daily running battle at home with his overachieving completely American children who do not understand the third-world culture he grew up in and still harbors inside his heart(unconsciously indicated by his atrocious accent and archaic vocabulary).But that is small price to pay for what he would have experienced in the Philippines if he were made of more patriotic stuff and had chosen to stay: Exploitation.The first to manipulate him would be the transnational drug companies.Even in his internship year, when he has just begun to write prescription medicines, the drug companies are already hot and heavy on his trail. They bribe him with commissions on each capsule that he prescribes. They shower him with little colorful plastic ball pens and doodads. They treat him to sumptuous meals and little snacks. They sponsor sports fests and bowling tournaments and drinking sessions.They tempt him with leggy, sexy med reps. During residency, they sponsor training trips for him abroad. All in exchange for prescribing their brutally high priced medicines.The exploitation goes even more high gear in private practice. Here the med reps take notes of how many patients he has and classify the doctors along the number of patients he/she sees a day and the number of prescriptions he/she makes; Grade A, being the highest. And the perks become more or less depending on his level of classification.The perks become heavier: cars, appliances, shopping trips to the malls, medical equipment and yearly trips abroad to attend specialty conferences, even training seminars. If he is a sub-specialist and practicing in Manila, they sponsor lecture tours in the provinces to bolster his reputation as well as sell their high priced drugs.The run of the mill doctor in the provinces gets a yearly airplane ticket to Manila to attend the various specialty conferences and a free four-day stay in a five star hotel. If he has a good practice(Grade A), he will probably be fetched at the airport by an unfortunate medical representative bearing his name on a piece of cardboard, who together with his car, is assigned to him on a 24 hour basis. This med rep is responsible for the doctor's entertainment during his entire stay and even for the procurement of female company,if the doctor so desires.The transnational drug companies end up not only controlling his prescriptions, but also controlling his practice and his way of life.The medical practitioner consoles himself in his serfdom by saying that if it was not him, it would be another doctor, probably his competitor practitioner who would get the perks.But the doctor is only too aware that whatever he gets from the drug company, whether plastic ball pen or the attention of an attractive med rep or free trips abroad, is eventually charged to the price ofthe drugs he is supposed to prescribe. He is aware that these drugs are viciously priced and the full course of the treatment is beyond the reach of the ordinary patient in his clinic. He is aware that after paying the full course of the medicines in the hospital, the patient and his family may have no more to spare for his professional fee. He is aware that in the end he is the loser in this game.But he does not care. He is addicted to the perks. His professional pride feeds on the obsequious bowing and scraping of the med reps who do weekly pilgrimages to his clinic and whom he bullies for more services and threatens with boycotts of their products if he does notget what he demands; never mind if the med reps glide out of the hospital parking lot with big smiles on their faces driving their new sleek Toyotas while the doctor sputters out of hospital grounds in his battered Volkswagen of the last millennium's vintage. A medical representative supervisor triumphantly told me once, "No sir, we do not just buy the doctor. We also take his soul along with the deal!"And it is true. If the doctor would only realize how the med reps he routinely bullies hold him and the entire medical profession in contempt! How sad. How very diabolically sad.Yet there is still another devil around the corner.But we would deal with this demon in the next article.
