13 October 1954: The Tibetan spiritual leader, the 14th Dalai Lama, shakes hands with Chinese leader Mao Zedong, shortly after Mao's selection as chairman of the People's Republic of China, at the first National People's Congress in Beijing, China  Picture: AP

When the Dalai Lama was just fifteen China invaded Tibet and full political power was foisted on him. Despite a meeting with Mao and numerous efforts towards a peaceful agreement with the invaders, in 1959 the Dalai Lama was forced to flee his country.

Pursued by chinese troops he and his family undertook a tortuous trek to safety through the mountains, only to hear when he arrived in India the news of  tens of thousands Tibetans slaughtered, and 6,000 desecrated monasteries. (Andrew Cowe, The Dalai Lama Story - The Making of a World Leader, http://www.justfocus.org.nz/)

In November 1950, still only aged 15, the Dalai Lama was enthroned as Tibet's temporal leader in a ceremony in Lhasa and spent most of the next decade trying to avoid a full-scale military takeover of Tibet by Chinese forces.  Picture: AP

His life was changed forever when, at the age of three, Lhamo Thondup was identified by a search party of Buddhist officials as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama, the latest in a line that stretches back to 1391. He was separated from his parents and transferred to a monastery to study, later recalling the pain of separation from his mother but his good fortune that his elder brother was already studying in the same place. In 1940 Lhamo Thondup was officially installed as spiritual leader of Tibet and, after shaving his hair, was inducted as a novice monk, assuming the new name, Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso.

Beijing "lodged solemn representations" with the United States before Friday's meeting, saying "Tibet-related affairs fall entirely within the internal affairs of China which allow no foreign interference," Hua of the Chinese foreign ministry said.

A meeting between British Prime Minister David Cameron and the Dalai Lama last year cast a chill over relations between London and Beijing, delaying a visit to China by Cameron.

Concerns over human rights

Over the past five years, at least 125 Tibetans have set themselves on fire, most of them fatally, to protest Chinese rule, according to Tibetan advocacy groups.

Beijing has taken a tough line on Tibetan self-immolators, their associates and other forms of protest. Tibetans have been convicted of murder in Chinese courts for "inciting" people to set themselves on fire.

The frequency of self-immolations declined during 2013, according to the London-based advocacy group Free Tibet.

China rejects accusations of oppression, saying that under its rule, living standards have greatly improved for the Tibetan people.

The Obama administration says it supports the Dalai Lama's "Middle Way" approach to the political tensions over protests for Tibetan independence.

The White House said Obama stressed that he encourages "direct dialogue to resolve long-standing differences and that a dialogue that produces results would be positive for China and Tibetans."

Obama reiterated the U.S. position that Tibet "is part of" China and that the United States does not support Tibet independence.

The Dalai Lama stated that he is not seeking independence for Tibet and hopes that dialogue between his representatives and the Chinese government will resume.

The two have met previously

Obama has met with the Dalai Lama twice before, in February 2010 and July 2011. China responded to those meetings with similarly angry comments.

Beijing accuses the Dalai Lama of being a separatist who foments unrest in Tibet, a region it claims has been part of China since "ancient times."

The Dalai Lama, who fled to India in 1959 after a failed uprising, has long denied China's assertion that he's seeking Tibetan independence. He says he wants only enough autonomy to protect its traditional Buddhist culture.

Obama, Dalai Lama meet despite China's appeal

By Jethro Mullen, CNN

Hong Kong (CNN) -- President Barack Obama met on Friday with the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader, despite China's appeal not to do so.

The White House said in a statement that Obama "reiterated his strong support for the preservation of Tibet's unique religious, cultural, and linguistic traditions and the protection of human rights for Tibetans" in China.

"By arranging a meeting between the President and the Dalai Lama, the U.S. side will grossly interfere in the internal affairs of China, seriously violate norms governing international relations and severely impair China-U.S. relations," Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Hua Chunying said in a statement.

the von trapps, the real mccoy:

the von trapps, movie:

the trapp family singers, 1941

There are still three children living from the Von Trapp family, all born to the Baron’s second wife. They are not portrayed in the family, therefore Maria is the last of The Sound Of Music children to die. She was remembered by her brother, Johannes Von Trapp, as “a lovely woman who was one of the few truly good people.”

The Von Trapp family has owned a ski resort in Vermont since moving there. Maria Von Trapp’s death at the age of 99 is the close to the last chapter of one of the great stories to come out of the brutal Nazi occupation.

http://www.inquisitr.com/

His second wife, now Maria Von Trapp, died in 1987. It was her 1949 book that led to the musical and the movie The Sound Of Music. Last year, Carrie Underwood starred in a live version of the musical, to mixed responses. The children were never particularly fond of any of the actors portraying their family, including Christopher Plummer’s Baron Von Trapp.

“We were all pretty shocked at how they portrayed our father, he was so completely different. He always looked after us a lot, especially after our mother died,” Maria von Trapp said in one interview before she died.

The real story of the Von Trapp family is just as intriguing as the movie based on the other “Maria”, played by Julie Andrews in the movie. Daughter Maria Von Trapp and her family found themselves in crisis in the mid-1920′s when the mother of the original seven Von Trapp children, Agathe Whitehead von Trapp, died. Soon they were joined by a young nun hopeful who was hired to help with the care of the children. Romance blossomed between Baron Von Trapp and Maria Kutschera. The two were married in 1927.

When the European economy was struggling in the midst of World War II, it was singing that kept the family afloat. “Without the singing, we would have never made it to the United States,” Von Trapp once said.

Maria Von Trapp Dead At 99, Last Member Of Family Made Famous By ‘The Sound Of Music’

February 22, 2014



Maria Von Trapp died on Saturday at the age of 99. The second oldest daughter of Baron Georg Von Trapp, she was the last remaining member of the family made famous through the beloved movie classic The Sound Of Music.

Maria Von Trapp died at her home in Vermont, the state the Von Trapp family had lived in since they left Nazi occupied Austria in 1938. Americans began to get familiarized with the family in the 30′s and 40′s when the Trapp Family Singers would perform for audiences in New York. Eventually their story would be turned into a Broadway musical and in 1965, The Sound of Music movie was released. The family was forever immortalized at that point.

Although knowing a soldier could be killed in combat any time, he apparently did not expect the way his father and the other soldiers were mercilessly butchered when they were lured into a supposed “peace talk” with Usman Sali.

This writer was then covering the defense and military beat when the massacre was announced by then Defense Minister and now Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile and then AFP chief Gen. Romeo C. Espino.

The government under then President Ferdinand E. Marcos was shocked about the massacre.

But despite the incident that befell on his family, the young Bautista continued his studies at PMA, the country’s premier military school, and placed seventh among 161 graduates in 1981.

http://balita.ph/2012/10/09/

the writer of this feature, Ben Cal, is a Boholano.

“All of a sudden, a burst of automatic gunfire reverberated all over the area and Gen. Bautista and his officers and men were killed instantly like sitting ducks, unaware of what hit them,” Bañez said with tears in his eyes.

“It was a bloodbath. Worse, Sali and his men hacked the already dead soldiers, including Gen. Bautista. The hapless soldiers sustained hack wounds all over their bodies. It was brutality of the first degree,” he said.

The current commanding general of the Philippine Army, Lt. Gen. Emmanuel T. Bautista, was a plebe at the Philippine Military Academy when his father, Brig. Gen. Teodulfo Bautista was killed, together with 34 other soldiers in the infamous Patikul massacre at the height of the Moro rebellion in Mindanao.

The youthful Bautista then was devastated when he was informed about the tragic death of his father.

“But still Gen. Bautista did not suspect any bad omen was going to happen,” Bañez said.

“Gen. Bautista went there to have peace with the rebels, no more, no less,” he added.

“However, it was weird that Usman Sali and his men did not show up,” he said.

“Then three to four men suddenly showed up as Bautista and his troops sat down on a long table waiting for Usman Sali,” Bañez said.

Bautista told Pangilinan to join him in Patikul for a peace dialogue with MNLF commander Usman Sali.

In fact, Bautista earlier asked then Lt. Gen. Fidel V. Ramos, chief of the Philippine Constabulary and AFP vice chief of staff, who was in Jolo at that time, to join him but Ramos declined because he had a previous engagement in Zamboanga City.

Bañez said that “when Bautista and his men arrived at the Patikul public market aboard two 6×6 trucks in the morning of Oct. 10, 1977, the place was empty.”

“Normally, being a public market, the place is always full of people but this time not a shadow was seen,” he said.

Piecing together the massacre, Bañez, still witty and strong despite his age, said Sali, the rebel leader of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) in Sulu, agreed to meet with Gen. Bautista originally at the headquarters of the Army’s First Infantry Division, for a peace dialogue together with 150 of Sali’s men.

But a last-minute decision was made by Sali and proposed to Gen. Bautista that they instead meet at the Patikul public market. Bautista agreed without second thought of any security threat from Sali. It proved fatal.

Bañez said that while Bautista and his group were on their way to Patikul, he saw Col. Pangilinan, the AFP adjutant general, his classmate who was conducting a seminar in Jolo.

In an interview with the Philippines News Agency on Tuesday, the eve of the 35th anniversary of the Patikul massacre, Bañez said Gen. Romeo C. Espino, then AFP chief of staff, was shocked upon receiving the news of the massacre.

He said they were in Davao City for a regular inspection of troops when Espino was informed late in the afternoon of Oct. 10, 1977 about the massacre.

“Gen. Espino’s immediate reaction was to rush to Jolo, Sulu that very moment but Col. Tony Lukban, the pilot of the F-27 Fokker plane of the Philippine Air Force, told the general that the Jolo airport has no landing lights and suggested they fly early the following morning,” Bañez said.

The AFP’s rank and file could not believe that 35 soldiers, including a general and four Army colonels, were massacred in the Patikul public market just like that.

Martial law was still in effect then and defense reporters could not just write stories like that without clearance from the defense or military hierarchy.

But military authorities allowed defense reporters to write the story of the massacre, giving us all the information the media needed.

Retired Brig. Gen. Arnulfo D. Bañez, then AFP deputy chief of staff for intelligence (J2) and deputy of the Intelligence Service of the AFP (ISAFP), now 88, could still remember the details of the gory massacre.

Oct. 10, 1977 Patikul massacre recalled (Feature)


By Ben Cal
October 9, 2012

MANILA, Oct. 9 -â€" Also dubbed as “Double 10,” Oct. 10, 1977 was a day of infamy for the whole country when Brig. Gen. Teodulfo Bautista, the soft-spoken commanding general of the First Infantry “Tabak” Division of the Philippine Army, and 34 of his men were brutally massacred after they were lured into a peace dialogue by local Muslim rebel leader Usman Sali in Patikul, Sulu.

Only one â€" a radio man who played possum or pretending to be dead â€" survived the mass killing.

Thirty-five years have passed but this reporter can still vividly recall that day when the earthshaking news about the massacre reached Camp Aguinaldo, the headquarters of the Armed Forces of the Philippines in suburban Quezon City.

Flashback:The massacre of General Teodulfo Bautista and his men

When Emmanuel graduated from the PMA in 1981â€"the seventh out of 161 in his classâ€"he readily asked to be assigned in Sulu with the 1st Infantry Division, the unit his father commanded before his death.

But his request was denied and, as a compromise, was assigned to another province in Muslim Mindanaoâ€"Lanao del Norte.

In his military career, the young Bautista had been assigned to various posts around the countryâ€"but never in Sulu.

From January 1997 to September 1998 he was a commander of the 24th Infantry Battalion, 7th Infantry Division and from July to November 2004 was chief of staff of the same division.

From November 2004 to August 2005 Bautista held the same position with the Special Operations Command and from August 2005 to January 2006 was a Secretary for the Army General Staff.

From August 2006 to August 2007, he was Senior Military Assistant for the Secretary of National Defense and from February 2008 to July 2009 was a commander of the 702nd Infantry Brigade. He also became Internal Auditor for the Armed Forces from July 2009 to July 2010.

On November 9, 2011 he took the post of 54th Commanding General of the Philippine Army and was promoted to become Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces on January 17, 2013. (wikipedia)

Emmanuel T. Bautista
Distinguished Service Star recipient

General Emmanuel T. Bautista (born July 20, 1958) is a Filipino General and a five-time recipient of Distinguished Service Star and one Outstanding Achievement Medal. He also was awarded a Gold Cross Medal, a Bronze Cross Medal and 29 Military Merit Medals. He is the incumbent Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

General Bautista was born on July 20, 1958. His father was Brigadier General Teodulfo Bautista, who was killed by Muslim rebels in 1977, the same year that the younger Bautista entered the Philippine Military Academy.

In 1981 he graduated from Philippine Military Academy and two years later got a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from the University of the Philippines. (wikipedia)

But here is my second set of questions: How can that Honor Code exist side by side with the hazing (prohibited) that goes on every year at the PMA? How can the cadets possibly live with that double standard? Isn’t hazing, which is a crime, considered dishonorable at the PMA, or is the practice free from any sort of lying or cheating on the part of the practitioners? Or is it a case of “as long as you don’t get caught, you can do it”? But where is the honor there? And what distinguishes that practice from what is being practiced by our politicians?

Just asking.

http://opinion.inquirer.net/

That’s a pretty tough codeâ€"in which stealing one centavo carries the same penalty as stealing P50 millionâ€"but I think that is because the nine members of the Honor Committee are themselves cadets from the first to the fourth years and presumably are taught that the difference in the amount is irrelevant. A lie is a lie.

But my questions are basic ones: First, has that Honor Code and the way it is implemented really developed the character and integrity of PMA students? We have as examples Senators Gregorio Honasan and Antonio Trillanes and Gen. Carlos Garcia and his cohorts, and those who are now facing charges of corruption, or did not live up to their vow to protect the Constitution by engaging in foolhardy coup attempts. But maybe they are the exceptions that probe the rule, and should not be considered. Or maybe the cadets have realized from recent goings-on that they have to tighten the implementation of the Honor Code, and this is as good a start as any.

Without realizing it, General Bautista’s action is serving as a model of how not only the rest of the military but also public officials should behave. A little humility will go a long way. Leadership by example. If the rest of the armed forces follow that example, the transformation roadmap that they are striving to follow will be a walk in the parkâ€" because the Filipino people will be behind them.

We’ve got one example from the top brass of the Army. But I have to end with another Army story that has grabbed the headlines: the “separation” (expulsion) of Cadet First Class (senior) Aldrin Jeff Cudia almost on the eve of his graduation from the Philippine Military Academy. Apparently, there is an Honor Code which “is absolute and does not distinguish between the degree of the offense committed. Once they lied, cheated, stole, or tolerated the commission of these offenses, there is only one punishmentâ€"separation.”

General Bautista’s humility has caught the imagination of the public, which is so used to having politicians and government officials act like their offices entitle them to certain privileges. We need more General Bautistas and less of the “hindi mo ba ako kilala” types. What was it Vice President Jojo Binay said about his son’s run-in with some security guards in Dasmariñas Village? That his son, the mayor, deserved “a little respect.” Which meant allowing him to break rules. That’s the kind we don’t need.

That’s where General Bautista is mistaken. The way he performed his social action was certainly extraordinary because he wasn’t in it for the publicity, and he wasn’t trying to impress. In social psychologist Paul Zimbardo’s book, that makes him a hero. A hero, says Zimbardo, is someone whose social action is extraordinary. And what makes a social action extraordinary? Three requirements: It is in behalf of other people in need, it is an action that involves sacrifice, and it is an action done without thought of reward.

If you don’t think that’s a big deal, try calling up a Cabinet secretary or any other government official. If you can get his/her number. See if they will answer an unidentified caller. See if they will speak with someone they don’t know.

So what was it all about? General Bautista is quoted as saying that he was “simply doing our job and that’s what every soldier is supposed to doâ€"perform our mandate.” And what mandate is that? “To protect the people and the state is part of our mandate. We’re doing our job and it is nothing extraordinary.”

Not Manny. Let me count the ways in which he is so refreshingly different from so-called public servants:

1) He answered his cell phone even if he did not know the caller.

2) He was in fact calling it a day when the call came at past 11 p.m.

3) He was respectful and polite at all times to the lady on the line: “Yes, ma’am” was the reply to Gang Badoy’s self-described “bugging” and “stern and firm” admonitions.

4) There were any number of opportunities during the conversation for him to identify himself in all his titled glory. He passed, even when Gang dropped the name of a Colonel Zagala, hopefully to show that she was someone not to be treated lightly.

5) He delivered on his promise (he had to wake up a couple of people to do so ).

6) Even when a grateful Gang sent a text message thanking him for his help, he was content to remain anonymous. In other words, he wasn’t after publicity.

‘Manny Sundalo’ shows the way

By Solita Collas-Monsod
Philippine Daily Inquirer
Saturday, February 22nd, 2014

The story of “Manny Sundalo” is such a breath of fresh air amid the “hindi mo ba alam kung sino ako” variety, that it deserves telling and retellingâ€" in the hope that it will inspire our leaders to remember that they are servants first and foremost.

We all know by now that Manny Sundalo is Gen. (four stars) Emmanuel Bautista, chief of staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. You can’t go much higher than that. Some people would think that just because they’ve achieved such dizzying heights, they’re entitled to all the bowing and scraping they can get from lesser mortals.
