one of the things that my eldest brother shared with me more than once was this exchange of pilate with jesus christ (non-biblical, in latin).  in essence, as my brother was fond of pointing out, the answer is in the question:

Pilate:  Quid est veritas?  (What is truth?)

JChrist:  Est vir qui adest.  (It is the man who is here; in essence, also 'I am who am'.)

exactly the same letters and the same number of letters are in both the question and answer.

then i came across this on the internet highway a while ago:

Friend of mine posted this little tidbit on FaceBook today and I thought it was neat.

"Quid est veritas?" is Latin for "What is truth?"

Pilate most likely spoke Latin to Christ, so those are the exact words he would have used according to Scripture.

One possible and absolutely fitting answer in Latin: "Est vir qui adest" is an anagram of the question.

It means: "It is the man who is here"

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

understandable.  the best way is still to consult a doctor.  as for tawa-tawa (snakeweed, cat's hair)...






...here's something by a philippine national paper columnist (only for curiosity's sake):

It took only two days of camote tops decoction, two tabelespoons of papaya-leaf paste, and another two days of more talbos ng kamote and tawa-tawa tea to win the battle against dengue.

Eventually I would find that tawa-tawa has already been commercialized. Bottles of tawa-tawa capsules are now sold at a Tiendesitas stall. I can't say that they're as effective as a fresh bunch of leaves, twigs and roots that have been boiled, as had proved effective for my son. And as it did for a writer-friend who had been hospitalized for nearly a week until I told her about tawa-tawa. Like me, she asked for a friend in Mindanao to send her a bunch. And she came out of that hospital in three days.

There should be no harm in trying tawa-tawa capsules. We should all recall how lagundi, among all our other herbal concoctions, has now been accepted as a pharmaceutical, although it certainly took some time. Like the truth, the herbal cures are out there, just in our own backyards.

so apple juice is unproven, lorenz? 

as for the 4s as the most potent weapon against dengue, what does "indiscriminate fogging" mean? 

there's also much going around, verbally and in the internet highway, about the potency of apple juice against dengue.  if ever, it is not mentioned in any way by the doctor.  how true is this, by the way?  just the same, i play safe by insisting that the kids take apple juice.

two days ago, when i was alarmed into thinking that i was in again for another emergency (building guards rang our door to ask if i was cooking something; it turned out that the whole floor had smoke and the possibility of fire could come from any unit, so the guards rang all units), the first thing i did in my preparation to bail out was to place our cat in his carrier.  then i went for our legal papers, cash and jewelry.  no time to pack clothes.  i was alone and ready to go.  with our cat.

i cherish the honor to have been approached by him (unbelievable!) in a tagbilaran restaurant once, some six years ago, to say that he had listened to every word of a speech of mine a few days before.  i was flattered and thankful, doubtless.  (it was an embarrassingly rambling speech, actually, but it was amazing that he remembered me at all.) 

i am forever grateful for his gesture.  it was noblesse oblige, precious and rare.  in more ways than one, in that brief encounter, he had shown dignity in humility.

pansit-pansitan

Pansit-pansitan (family: Piperaceae) is an herbal medicine also known as Ulasiman-bato, olasiman-ihalas & tangon-tangon in the Philippines. English name: Peperomia.

Pansit-pansitan is a small herb that grows from 1 to 1 1/2 feet. It can be found wild on lightly shaded and damp areas such as nooks, walls, yards and even roofs.

Pansit-pansitan has heart shaped leaves, succulent stems with tiny flowers on a spike. When matured, the small fruits bear one seed which fall of the ground and propagate.

The leaves and stalk of pansit-pansitan are edible. It can be harvested, washed and eaten as fresh salad. Taken as a salad, pansit-pansitan helps relive rheumatic pains and gout. An infusion or decoction (boil 1 cup of leaves/stem in 2 cups of water) can also be made and taken orally - 1 cup in the morning and another cup in the evening.

holy noodles, it turns out that there are 29 kinds of pansit in the philippines!

Pancit or pansit is the term for noodles in Filipino cuisine.  Noodles were introduced into the Philippines by the Chinese and have since been adopted into local cuisine.  The term pancit is derived from the Hokkien pian i sit which means "something conveniently cooked fast."

Different kinds of noodles can be found in Filipino supermarkets which can then be cooked at home. Noodle dishes are also standard fare in local restaurants. Food establishments specializing in noodles are often referred to as panciterias. (wikipedia)

The couple was initially charged with cruelty to animals and child abuse because the girls were minors when the videos were filmed. The Department of Justice has since added violations of the Wildlife Protection and Conservation Act (RA No. 9147) and the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act (RA No. 9208) as well as additional child abuse violations to the charges, the group added.

PETA said the Ridons' case also prompted a senator to submit a resolution to conduct an inquiry on crush videos and a member of Congress to file a bill that would prohibit selling, exchanging, or distributing crush videos in the Philippines and overseas.

"Manila is 'ground zero' in the international war against the vile crush-video industry. The Philippines has an opportunity to slam the door on animal abuse by holding the Ridons accountable for the horrific pain and misery that they have caused," said Jason Baker, PETA Asia vice president. - Dennis Carcamo

THE LATEST UPDATE

getting what they deserve and hoping we've seen the last of them...

Couple in 'crush videos' showing animal cruelty jailed

July 06, 2012

MANILA, Philippines - A couple accused of making graphic videos of animals that are being tortured and crushed are now languishing in a jail in La Union, the international animal welfare advocacy group PETA said on Friday.

PETA said Vicente Ridon and his wife Dorma are now detained after additional charges were filed before the police.

The Ridons were arrested after the National Bureau of Investigation concluded its year-long investigation of the case, PETA added.

The Ridons are currently on trial for crimes related to the production of a series of "crush" videos in which scantily clad young girls engaged in the torture and killing of animals.

hello, ferotex.  i hope you won't be too busy so you can come back soon.

No offence meant but I really admire this man simply because he loves and cares for Bohol specially those handicapped. Yes he is extraordinary and I feel like he is more than a Boholano to me. May I know if you happened to know personally this man? Forgive me but I do not know who are the ordinary ones and the rest of the mere mortals you are referring to.

and no offense was taken, honest.  all i wanted to know was some kind of definition of terms.  "more than a boholano" struck me as multi-tiered, that's why.  no, i'm sorry i do not know this guy personally, though i'm sure that he must feel at home in bohol, and that's already something.  as for the mere mortals that you're not familiar with, they must be the rest of the boholanos that you may have compared this guy to.  the phrase "more than..." impresses me that there exist others who are "less than". 

If you love and care for Bohol, i can also admire you to be more than a Boholano.

i do love and care for bohol, and if you admire me for that and confer me the honor of being "more than a boholano", then you must mean that there are boholanos who do not love and care for bohol, and are thus "less than boholanos".  am i getting you now?

Dagohoy is not more than a Boholano. He is a hero!

so a boholano hero ceases to be a boholano because he has become a hero?

Gov. Chatto is not only more than but your governor.

and being governor, thus, he is beyond being "more than a boholano"?  henceforth, a governor ceases to be more than a boholano because he has become governor?

Do you consider Tarsiers as Boholano?

well, for as long as they are in bohol and boholanos won't deny the fact that they are in bohol, tarsiers couldn't possibly be called cebuanos.

Synonym can be one who loves and care for Bohol in deeds and in words.

thus there could exist hundreds and thousands of synonyms for "more than a boholano".  lorenzo is one among a myriad.  he is an amboy who gushes over bohol, in word and deed.  i hope to have truly understood you this time.

Conflicts of interest arising from agencies having a close relationship with rated companies must be addressed to make sure that the ratings are reliable, especially when they have a significant impact on the financial markets.  Some illicit situations, in which credit rating agencies shareholders make money betting on the ratings, should be restricted.  Introducing civil liability for the agencies' ratings and making them financially responsible may be the part of the solution.  The criteria and data used to produce sovereign debt ratings should be transparent.  States that are rated should be given time to prepare their comments, which should be published before the rating.  However, Member States would also be rated more frequently, because regular ratings together with clearer underlying data, would help to reassure investors and the States in question.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Three_%28credit_rating_agencies%29

There are over one hundred national and regional rating agencies which could issue ratings if they can build up their credibility by meeting the conditions for being registered by European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).  They could also use data from the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund to help with their analyses.  Reliance on the "big three" could also be reduced by big companies assessing themselves, MEPs added. (wikipedia)

A common criticism of the Big Three, and one that was highly linked to bank failure in the 2008 recession, is the dominance the agencies had on the market.  As the three agencies held 95% of the market share, there was very little room for competition.  Many feel this was a crucial contributor to the toxic economic environment that led to the financial downturn.  In a preliminary exchange of views in the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, held in late 2011, Parliament's rapporteurs advocated more competition among agencies.  The belief was that this would diminish conflicts of interest and create more transparent criteria for rating sovereign debt. (wikipedia)

how reliable are credit rating agencies?

the world's big three credit rating agencies--

The Big Three credit rating agencies are Standard & Poor's (S&P), Moody's, and Fitch Group.  S&P and Moody's are US-based, while Fitch is dual-headquartered in New York City and London, and is controlled by the France-based FIMALAC.  The European Union has considered setting up a state-supported EU-based agency. 

In 2001, Moody's and Standard & Poor's market share was around 40% each, and Fitch's market share was around 15%; the Big Three therefore held 95% of the market.  However these figures understate the dominance of Moody's and S&P, since the norm for debt issuers is to obtain ratings from these two, and only occasionally turn to Fitch, for example if Moody's and S&P disagree.
