tolerable.  makaihap pa ko ana nga bundle.  money that i cannot count is money that's useless.

i look forward to the comeback of the classic paper bag, with a stronger handle this time.

lisod gyod tuod kun si rosie ang mag-inusara sa new york...

di na sad ko ana uy.  kapoya nag ihap uy.  bikogan man sad ta ana.  magkinahanglan pa gyod ug mga pusil.  usa ka bundle ray ako, bastante na.

i like our plastic ban now.  makadaginot pa tag balik-balik ug gamit sa shopping bag, way kalainan sa europeans who have been doing this some 20 years ahead.

The image that caught Korda in the revolution

image from http://4.bp.blogspot.com/

“Nearing 30, I was heading toward a frivolous life when an exceptional event transformed my life: The Cuban Revolution. It was at this time that I took this photo of a little girl, who was clutching a piece of wood for a doll. I came to understand that it was worth dedicating my work to a revolution which aimed to remove these inequalities.”
                      -Alberto Díaz Gutiérrez, better known as Alberto Korda or simply Korda (September 14, 1928 in Havana, Cuba â€" May 25, 2001 in Paris, France)

He got caught up in the ideals of the revolution and began photographing its leaders. (wikipedia)

Guerrillero Heroico (English: "Heroic Guerrilla Fighter") is an iconic photo of Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara wearing his black beret taken by Alberto Korda. It was taken on March 5, 1960, in Havana, Cuba, at a memorial service for victims of the La Coubre explosion and by the end of the 1960s turned the charismatic and controversial leader into a cultural icon.


Guerrillero Heroico - Alberto Korda's famous photograph of Che Guevara


The popularized cropped (and slightly rotated) version - by snipping out a palm tree and the profile of another man, Korda gave the portrait "an ageless quality, divorced from the specifics of time and place."

Korda has said that at the moment he shot the picture, he was drawn to Guevara's facial expression, which showed "absolute implacability" as well as anger and pain. Years later, Korda would say that the photo showed Che's firm and stoic character. Guevara was 31 at the time the photo was taken.

Breaking Curses

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, by the power of his cross, his blood and his resurrection, I take authority over all curses, hexes, spells, voodoo practices, witchcraft assignments, satanic rituals, incantations and evil wishes that have been sent my way, or have passed down the generational bloodline. I break their influence over my life by the power of the risen Lord Jesus Christ, and I command these curses to go back to where they came from and be replaced with a blessing.

I ask forgiveness for and denounce all negative inner vows and agreements that I have made with the enemy, and I ask that you Lord Jesus Christ release me from any bondage they may have held in me. I claim your shed blood over all aspects of my life, relationships, ministry endeavors and finances. I thank you for your enduring love, your angelic protection, and for the fullness of your abundant blessings.

LORENZ, URGENT!  there's something "dangerous" about this prayer.

owww, please don't overplay the pitiful lonely ofw card.  blood doesn't make the cut here; sweat, maybe, but blood?  flordeliz has his whole family there with him and his job back in his country was enviable enough.  but he wanted more, and now he talks of blood?  surely, the first drop of blood over his job would make him scamper back home to his country.

Calling the Philippine Ambassador to Canada, to act on this matter. Or if we may, we would also appreciate DFA Sec Albert del Rosario’s help in ensuring that Filipinos here in Canada are getting the services of the embassy in a straightforward, proper and decent manner.

here are hopes that flordeliz also displayed proper and decent manners.  he seems to describe himself as such in his account, as if he did nothing to provoke such a tirade (if so, then why was he picked on?).  nothing was said by him about his alleged insinuation that his donation might be pocketed by the "elderly man" (consul general ampeso).

i understand from further readings, going back all the way to 1995, that this ampeso guy is one problematic package.  meanwhile, flordeliz, a much younger guy who doesn't have much of a history yet, had these statements that are quite telling:

Quote from: islander on April 26, 2013, 09:22:39 PM
...Filipinos, who occupy a big percentile of the Philippines’ GNI yearly by their remittances. Filipinos, like me, who dedicated effort and money on this day just to have passports renewed, but this is what we get.

let's call a spade a spade.  let's talk here of percentage rather than percentile (ducks and chickens are fowls, but they're different from each other)...

for 2012, remittances from overseas filipinos were recorded at US$21.39 billion, or about 6.5 percent of the philippines’ Gross National Income (GNI) and 8.5 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

okay, size is relative.  if 6.5 percent is a "big percentile of the Philippines’ GNI" for flordeliz, so be it. 

we all have reasons to support our sense of self-respect, if not self-importance.  i wonder what kris aquino will demand, if ever, because she's the number one taxpayer of all filipinos.

in this case, though, i'd rather reserve judgment (or conclusion anyway) until after the investigation results, if the media would still bother to pick up the news by then.  so far only the poster of the video claims he was drunk.  (and that makes for readable news.  any controversy attracts readers.)

if i must cast doubts on the consul general's behavior, so must i cast the same doubts on the video poster.  he seems too fresh and forward, too smug.  if it's true that he made a joke about the consul general pocketing the donation, well, that's something i'll blow my top over if i were in his place.

Ampeso says:

Ampeso said the video did not show that before the outburst, the applicant allegedly insulted him by insinuating that the Philippine official might just pocket his donation.

“First of all, the 27-second video showing me talking in a loud voice to a passport applicant, which made some people conclude that I was rude and arrogant, does not tell the whole story,” Ampeso said Thursday in a statement emailed to GMA News Online.

Ampeso said he only raised his voice against the applicant because “he insulted me and poked fun at being requested to make a donation to the Philippine National Red Cross by offering to give a measly one dollar for this charitable cause.”

“That’s why I became so agitated while explaining to him that if he had to give anything at all, it has to come from the heart for the typhoon victims,” Ampeso said.

GMA News Online has sought a reaction from the video uploader but has yet to receive a reply.

Ampeso has apologized for his actions.

“I apologize to anyone whom I may have offended. I assure you that I had only the best intentions in reacting in that manner,” Ampeso said in an apology letter sent to GMA News Online.

greatauror28: Active on the Internet

A Google search of “greatauror28″ reveals multiple accounts using the same handle on different online services, on of course YouTube, Tsikot as well as Flickr.

It was through the last online account, which contains an album featuring the birth of a baby boy dated 3 months ago, that we discovered greatauror28′s identity as Flordeliz.



According to his LinkedIn profile, Flordeliz currently works as a QA Analyst, the latest job in a career history full of IT-related positions for employers including Metrobank and San Miguel. The Filipino now lives in Edmonton Alberta, which according to his story above is a 2-hour drive from where his encounter with Ampeso occurred.

Outside of work, Flordeliz loves gadgets, cars, and photography.

Jose A.P. Ampeso: Career Diplomat

Before he became the consul general for Vancouver, Ampeso had graduated from UP Diliman (where he met Ninoy Aquino and became his frat mate at Upsilon Sigma Phi) was assigned to the US city New Orleans as a vice-consul by 1982. According to a personal account, Ampeso was also instrumental in acquiring a Passport for Ninoy Aquino’s fatal return to the Philippines in 1983.

In 2002, while based in Dubai, he had petitioned for the release of a Filipino Pastor jailed in the United Arab Emirates for distributing Christian materials translated into Arabic.

By 2012 Ampeso was already operating out Vancouver, in charge of a mission to provide help for Filipinos too far from the Embassy of the Philippines in Ontario.

As a flag bearer of sorts for his home country, Ampeso was a regular fixture at Filipino events in Vancouver, considered as a local VIP, and even weighed in over the controversial death of a Filipina caregiver last year.

Me: I am!
EM: Now are you going to donate? (Serious look on face) Kahit magkano Ok lang.
Me: (getting my coin purse and jokingly) Okay lang ba one dollar? Eto lang nakayanan ko eh (with a smile on my face)
EM: (shouting) ONE DOLLAR? PARA SA PILIPINAS YAN TAPOS ONE DOLLAR LANG IBIBIGAY MO? ANG CHEAP MO NAMAN, PARA SA PINAS YAN!
Me: Wait, I am only joking. You are right?
EM: MUKHA BAKONG NAGJOJOKE? SERYOSO AKO!! ONE DOLLAR LANG IBIBIGAY MO? GUSTO MO BANG KUNIN KO NA LANG PAPEL MO? WAG KA NA PAG RENEW-HIN??
Me: (still calm) Is this some kind of a joke? What’s happening?

All people became silent as others murmur whispers of disapproval and disgust. Many suggest calling the police, some say that what transpired was not right, that I should file a complaint.

A lady and a man came up to me and asked for pardon. The lady told me to just let it pass, cause he’s just tired from working from morning. That everyone should calm down. She asked me to proceed to another room where the picture-taking is being held and to just wait in there. She personally got my paper and pushed it until the last step.

Here I am just wanting my passport renewed and I have to deal with this arrogant, rude and drunk old man! Being berated as cheap by not giving “donation” which God knows what will become of it. Being threatened of not having my passport renewed, which I most certainly know that I didn’t violate any laws to be denied of such. And being shouted at like a little kid in front of a crowd just smacks my morale to the gound.

Now, let me introduce to you who the elderly man is. He is no other than Philippine Consul General Jose Ampeso. Yes, the consul himself. Acting like that in front of Filipinos who work in another country just to have food in their families’ plates. Filipinos, who occupy a big percentile of the Philippines’ GNI yearly by their remittances. Filipinos, like me, who dedicated effort and money on this day just to have passports renewed, but this is what we get.

Calling the Philippine Ambassador to Canada, to act on this matter. Or if we may, we would also appreciate DFA Sec Albert del Rosario’s help in ensuring that Filipinos here in Canada are getting the services of the embassy in a straightforward, proper and decent manner.

Besides, we are paying for the services. Money that we earned using blood and sweat.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbK4qZZCNfg#

Around two days later, Flordeliz shared his story on Tsikot, a popular online automobile enthusiast community:

    This happened yesterday in Sheraton Hotel in Red Deer, Alberta wherein a Passport Renewal Outreach was being done. Basically, the Phil Consulate and staff come to provinces of Canada for Filipinos who want to renew their passports, request NBI clearance, and such. This activity can be done any day though in Vancouver, British Columbia (BC).

    Now, I booked an appointment and was scheduled today at 4:05 pm. The outreach is only 4 days and only allows up to 400 renewals. Having said that, many came just to try their luck even though walk-in renewals have little chance of succeeding.

    I came with my wife and 3 month-old baby all the way from Edmonton, which is almost a 2-hr drive. When I entered the ballroom 3, where the passport renewals were made, I was surprised to see a lot of people. I ask an elderly man who was sitting behind a desk, along with two ladies. I came up to him and asked. Here’s how the conversation went:

    Me: Is this where you pass your requirements for passport renewal?
    Elderly Man: (grinning slightly) Magdodonate ka ba?
    Me: (smelt alcohol in his breath) Uh, I don’t think I’d do it today. Maybe next time.

    Then he disregarded me and went to talk to somebody else. One of the lady sitting beside him asked me if I had an appointment booked for today. I said yes at 4:05pm. She then immediately stopped the papers she was processing and preceded to get my requirement papers. Turns out those applications were already for the waiting list, the ones who just walked-in.

    After that, I went out and got a pen for my wife just to be ready for other forms to fill-up, but there weren’t any. I was asked to wait for my surname to be called as usual policy of government transactions. The elderly man called my last name finally, and as I stood up, this conversation took place:

Shared on YouTube: “Drunk” Behavior of Philippine Consul General in Canada

Posted on April 22nd, 2013. Written by Rico.

A Filipino named Proceso Jr. Flordeliz has complained about the behavior of Jose A.P. Ampeso, a Philippine Consul General based in Canada, through YouTube and popular car enthusiast forum Tsikot. Included in the account are accusations of working drunk and asking for a “donation”.



Last Friday, Flordeliz (through his YouTube account “greatauror28″) uploaded a 28-second video of Ampeso (in photo, wearing a barong) during a Passport Renewal Outreach program in Red Deer, Alberta, a Canadian city around 1,000 kilometers away from Ampeso’s base of Vancouver. The video shows the consul raising his voice while confronting someone else over procedural matters.

INQUIRER REACTS VIA TWITTER: ”Kudos to eagle-eyed tweeps who called our attention to the fake Time Mag cover. It was an oversight on our part. Thanks for the feedback!”

oh-oh.  no need to be eagle-eyed to notice the lapse, though.

Some  quick thoughts:

The photo from the Showbiz Government FB page actually contains clues that it’s just a parody. First, The Time Magazine logo is printed in white, not yellow (yellow, as we know, is a color forever associated with the Aquinos). Then, the image of Aquino used is a ridiculous one (although Newsweek did do that to then-Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann back in 2011). And lastly, why exactly will Time magazine use Aquino’s image in the cover for this issue? Is he more influential than say, Barack Obama?

This episode will surely be discussed in journalism and mass communication classes in the months and years ahead. What happened to the good editors there at Inquirer? Can’t they pay a quick visit to Time.com just to verify this cover?

http://rightonthemark.wordpress.com/

This year, Time Magazine released seven cover versions for this special issue. Although included in this year’s Time 100, the United States-based magazine did not use Aquino as a cover image. Instead, one of those featured is 23-year old Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence (see below). She last year gained critical acclaim for her leading role in the movie Hunger Games. Note that President Aquino’s name can be seen on the lower right side of this particular cover.
