Galatians 6:6-9

6Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor.
7Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature[a]will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

i voted no. but if ever we do become america's 51st state, do i have a choice of not getting an american citizenship without being stripped of my filipino-hood?

just asking! cause if there is, then id be more than glad to be an american citizen, hahaha.

Mr. Calle, in this comment, you said that you would be willing to embrace American citizenship without loosing the Filipino hood, which is in contradiction to your afformentioned statement 2-posts ago. he he he

My point: Being American does not mean one looses his or her racial, ethnic, religious identity.

The United States is a multi-ethnic, multi-faceted, multi-religious Nation.

We belong to the world. A nation, a super power, composed and populated by immigrants. The immigrant persona is integral to fabric in the web that is: AMERICAN, AMERICA.

per se, I am American, but I also retain and hold on to my cultural and ethnic values as a Boholano-born American.
Are we, foreign-born Americans any less than the natural born Americans? Of course not! We are as equally American as the average Joe Shmoe.

Do I love America? You bet!

That's what it means to be American. "WE"

as in, "We the People.." (reference to the bill of rights of the constution of these great United States).



#35506
Mr. Calle, in the United States, those who are Filipino citizens by birth can apply for dual citizenship.
Your Tita is patriotic in keeping the Philippine Passport, but just from personal experience, it is fortuitous to have an American passport when travelling abroad.

When I took a tour around Europe in '06, had no trouble around the airports in Madrid, and Amsterdam (where we touched down) and back to the 'states for the return flight. But for my friends who still kept their Indian and Pakistani passports, had immigration trouble in Amsterdam as well as in the return flight to the 'states.

The United States is open to dual citizenship; the Philippines recognizes that as well.

Cheers

hmmm, not really. In a good relationship, one should be able to tell everything to his/her partner. No inhibition, because your lover should understand and know your good aspects as well as tolerate your vices, or if not, at least understand that aspect of your personality, actions.

The best type of relationship is when we are brutally honest to our lovers, and they to us.
And having them love us for who we are, and the same vice versa.

Just be honest! Honesty and Passion. he he he good combo na!

Addendum:

In regards to Sabah, I am not sure what the action would be.
It would depend on Malaysia's compliance in the war against terror. If Kuala Lumpur is unable to re-address the growing JI threat in the south, a threat to the Philippines under belly, then it would be strategic interests for the United States to liberate Sabah from ultra-right wing islamic presence. And placed into the enlightened hands of Manila-Washington tutelage.

I will answer a question that a member has sent me via PM, regarding this issue:

Quote"Sir, in regards to the Philippines being integrated into the United States, what does this mean in regards to regional interaction with ASEAN and former Philippine claims? In specific regards to Sabah. Can you go into detail your opinion regarding American relations in the geopolitical sphere of Asia-Pacific? Thanks."


Dear friend,
Hypothetically speaking, if the Republic of the Philippines was to be integrated into the American fold, then all laws and postulates passed in the Republic would be re-addressed by the American Congress and laws re-examined if it is constitutionally mandated in regards to American Law. Philippine Law would be abolished and replaced with American Laws, and enforced in the style and provision mandated by the American Constitutional Courts.

Considering the Philippines is one of the founding fathers of ASEAN, the rights and priviledges that was reserved for the Philippines would be transferred, in totality and in permanence as a right to the United States of America. Considering the fact that in this sitation, the PHilippines no longer would be a living breathing independent nation, but an integral part of the United States of America.

In regards to American involvement in ASEAN-PACIFIC, clearly, it would be greatly increased considering Washington would not only have to address its international strategic interests throughout the world, but also address the interests 'Greater America', which would include the Philippines, and the recently integrated Filipino people.

In regards to economic orientation, redirection of founds, indeed, would be seen to the American Archipelago of the Philippines.

In regards to military strategy, the Philippine Islands would be made into an American Bastion. Center of the Pacific-Asian Command, definately.

Cheers!

Grazie thank you for posting this info,
   it's very relevant of today's
   ongoing issue with  the Healthcare
   that Obama is trying to push down into
   the throat of every citizens in this country.

Way back during the Clinton's administration,
   his wife Hillary attempted to make  Health
   care  universal just like Canada, UK, and
   other countries in Europe but she failed
   the people especially the retired senior citizens
   opposed it.

Now, the current administration is working
  hard to accomplish their goal with the Healthcare.
  Sa tinood lang, dili para sa mga tawo ang ilang
  giapas kon dili  ang kwarta, even the AMA is for it, whoa!
  Five pharmaceutical companies are with it, already
  busy projecting how many billions they will make kon madayon
  ni nga project.

Ang atong mga doctors, dentists, anybody who
   are in the health care professions wala
   nay kagawasan nga mofunction tungod kay
   ang gobyerno na mauy mohatag ug guidelines
   unsay ilang buhaton, pila ka pasyente ilang atimanon
   ana nga shift, etc.
Kon dili mo motuo, then wait and see, kay ang tres

Lord have mercy on us.
 

States, this post summarizes the physician's plight and motto of, "No to beurocratic monopoly of Medicine."

Of course, we are not discussing and proposing for national inclusion based on possibility; it is evident to us, students of history, that the inclusion movement has been defeated, since the proclamation of Philippine Independence in July 4, 1946.

However, we are having a lively debate; hypothetical situations that provides one to analyze and examine the historical processes and the laws/ammendements in defense of inclusion and opposition thereof.

Sorry mate but this statement is deeply wrong. :P

America is a continent formed for lot of countries. USA do not hold the rights of the word, for say they are America and the others (canadians,mexican,brazilians etc etc) are not.

:)

In all due honest, Ricardo, my statement was correct since the plural and inclusive 'We' illustrates the pluripotency of the United States. Our national creed. "E Pluribus Unum" equates to "Out of Many, One"

We are composed of 50 Federal States, and territories abroad that forms The United States of America.

My country is a melting pot nation, we emphasizes our cultural diversity, our multi-faceted heritage. Our cultural richness and the pooling of all the world's cultures into one society, which is the AMERICAN DREAM.

Another version!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeOND8B9Vtw&feature=related

La Bella Filipina is a traditional Filipino Kundiman Danza in Spanish. The Tagalog lyrics were written later by the Filipino poet Levi Celerio. Interpreted and recorded by the Mabuhay Singers in 1968 under the music supervision of Leopoldo Silos. This is the signature song of the radio program "Ito Ang Inyong Tiya Dely" by the late Dely Magpayo. Audio from a vinyl LP phonograph recording (Sa Sariling Bayan) played and recorded via USB Turntable.

Philippine Showcase / La Bella Filipina (Spanish)
September 15, 2009, 03:40:40 PM
Beautiful song!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6VAPyDFKF4

The traditional "La Bella Filipina" kundiman with its original Spanish lyrics sung by Guillermo Gomez-Rivera and accompanied by Roberto Buena.

Guillermo Gómez Rivera (born September 12, 1936) is a Filipino writer, journalist, poet, playwright, historian, linguist, and scholar of Spanish and British descent from the province of Iloilo.

Gómez Rivera is an academic director of the prestigious Academia Filipina de la Lengua Española (Philippine Academy of the Spanish Language), the local branch of the renowned Real Academia Española based in Madrid, Spain, and part of the Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Española (Association of Spanish Language Academies). He is also a teacher of various Spanish dances, and is considered the undisputed maestro of Flamenco in the Philippines.

In addition to his contributions to Philippine literature and history, Gómez is also an accomplished linguist and polyglot. He speaks and writes fluently in his native Hiligaynon as well as in English and Tagalog. Aside from being an acclaimed master of the Spanish language in the country, he is also conversant in French, Italian, Portuguese, Kinaray-a, and Cebuano, and has made an extensive study of the Visayan and Chabacano languages.
#35533
The preservation of the Filipino identity is not something that will be affected had the islands been integrated into the United States. The Native Americans, though their numbers are low, have retained their cultural identity.

The many native peoples such as the Hawaiian Polynesians, the Micronesian peoples of Guam, the Inuits of Alaska have retained their cultural and lingual identity.

So have the Puerto Ricans, who still maintain their Spanish language, and their Hispanic culture.

In my opinion, had the Philippines been integrated, the Filipino people would have added great diversity and flavor and influenced the societal discourse of the continental United States.

With our numbers, the Filipino people would have been a major force within the United States ruling house (Congress). And the plight of our people would have been mitigated, since the islands would have been the target of billions of dollars worth of American investment.

The Philippines would be a 1st class society. ALL Filipinos having the sanctified right of American Citizenship. Free to move around throughout the United States of America and territories belonging to the United States of America. With all the rights and priviledges affirmed and reserved for Citizens of the World's Only Hyperpower, The United States of America.

----

The United States is actually quite sensitive to cultural identity and preservation.
Various NGO such as the NAACP and Civil Rights Groups such as the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) have championed the cause of American Multiculturalism and Multi-ethnicism.

America is not a 'White' Nation.
America is a Melting Pot Nation.
Ours is the Nation that is the World.
All races, religions, ethnicities, creed, sexual orientation, make up the USA.
Black, White, Asian, Latin, Mixed.
AMERICAN.

His rise to the Presidency is signifying of a multicultural and multifaceted AMERICA.

Thoracic means; referring to the thoracic cavity of the human body; includin all organs below the cervical and above the diaphragm. The heart, lungs, peristeum, esophagus, the pericardium and the rib cages; all muscles pertaining to these structures deep and superficial are considered thoracic.

In the picture taken, we were doing thoracic exploratory surgery on the patient's pericardium (the heart apparatus), to see the cause of the RHF (right heart failure), in this case it was increased pre-load, we observed the cardiomegaly and structural deviations of the cardiac viscera.

Hi Stacey,
I just want to let you know that, I am very thankful for you.
Why?
Because you sparked my heart, sweetheart.
You've inspired me, Stacey.

No, not because of our silly conversations,
the laughs, the silly and hilarious moments,
the serious talks,
sure, maybe they help.

But you inspired my humanistic side.
Beyond the humdrums of studies,
and the seriousness of a Medical Student,
you've inspired me.

How ?
Your smile
Your laugh
Your rants
Your jokes
Your independent character
Your headstrong personality
Your liberated persona!

Lady, Miss, Stacey,
Thank You.

Thank you for showing me what true beauty is;
a beauty that is in the Filipina

You are indeed a unique and lovable woman.
Smart, brilliant, fighter,
independent, resilient, one tough cookie.
But you're also so kind, respectful, and conservative.

So,
All I can say is,
Thanks.

You've inspired me.

Pray for the Sick,


The Lord Jesus Christ, who hears and understands all the cries of the suffering, was gracious to cure the lame, the dying and the dead. He rose the little girl in Judea and Lazarus from the dead. And He himself was raised GLORIOUSLY on the 3rd day by HIS FATHER in HEAVEN. That death could not even take the LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST.

His compassion knows no limitation,
His mercies Infinite as the universe that He created.

May the Lord grant peace and comfort to the sick and the dying.
And may those suffering the last stages of terminal illness have the courage to Seek His Grace, and to take hold of His salvation. The release of their pains in life.

Lord, Hear our prayer.
Christ, Hear our prayer.
Lord, have mercy on us,
Christ, have mercy on us.

Amen.

Today i did alot of BP checks, HR checks, pulse checks.

So many patients, so little time, so little medical providers.

My break is too short. My assignment too long.

God is my Strength. God is my Justification
God is my Rock in whom I stand Firm.

Glory be to God in the Highest,
and to HIM be all the glory, honor, and praise.

Blessed be the Name of the LORD.
Blessed be his Glorious Name!!

To my friends in Medicine,

I love all of you guys. From our first day in orientation, till the present.
I've enjoyed all our experiences, struggles (the beautiful struggles), and our dreams widened to expectation in God and in His grace to fulfill our studies.

As we stand in preparation to recieve the honors of Medical white coat ceremony, I am humbled and reminded of His Love and Hand in our lives.

May we always remember the cry of the destitute,
may our hearts be sympathetic to the ill,
and may we see Christ always in the elderly, sick, and dying.

May we never be deaf to His calling.


Christ PRESERVE us all!

This, I ask in Jesus Christ Lord's Name.
And in His name alone.

AMEN.

Lord My God,

I thank you Lord for the grace you have given to my friends: Raquel, Concepcion, Cel and Amy. Lord, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and from my soul, which you created, for the happy and speedy delivery you have allotted for them.

Father, your mercies is beyond any comparison, and your miraculous gifts is beyond any understandings. I can only smile in awe and wonder at the beauty and perfect simplicity of the gift of LIFE. That you so have permitted them, my friends, to have.

I thank you LORD.
Lord, thank you for hearing their prayers,
LORD, thank you for strengthening them,
and thank you for considering our humble requests, tho we may be sinners and filled with reprobate vice, you have compassion on us and look not on the depth of our sin, but the perfect purity of our prayers--to which you see through our hearts and minds.

Lord, ask lang ko, Ginoo, that you continue to bless their babies.
Guide them, strengthen them in life.
May they be filled with your Holy Spirit,
to seek you, and find You, in their journey of Life.

And preserve for them, Lord, their glorious rise in the day of Resurrection when Christ will come again. Preserve them Lord, Lord, Preserve them Lord. Christ preserve them, Lord. Holy Spirit, preserve them Lord. God the Father and Fount of All Things, preserve them, Lord.

Through the intercessions of the saints, and the angels of heaven, which resound the Glory of God in the Highest, Preserve them Lord.

I ask this,
in humble request,
in the Name of My Savior Jesus Christ,
Who is LORD.


Christ Have Mercy On Us.

There is no greater torment than those who are lonely, conflicted, and those who are depressed and trapped in the cage of emotional instability.

Pray for them, our brothers and sisters, that they may have the strength to overcome their spiritual recluse. Pray for them that the Holy Spirit will invigorate their faith, that faith will speak through action, and action will permit them to rise above their present circumstance.

In the words of Archangel Gabriel, "For There Is No Impossibility with GOD!"

Greetings fellow members, friends, colleagues, felow intellectual comrades,

It's been made known to me through the good news of many, namely the pregnancies and labor of Raquel, Concepcion, Amy and Cel that the Good Lord Jesus Christ is abounding in mercy and in blessings of Life.

Children are signs of blessings from God. Remember that, my friends.

There is no greater gift than the gift of Life.

The Lord Our God, who reigns in Eternal Spleandor on His Divine Throne in Heaven,
showers His Blessings on those who do good before Him.
Who fear and Love Him.
Who blesses His Name.

The Lord is filled with Lovingkindness,
He is Righteous and Seated on High.
He is the Author of Salvation
And He is Mighty To Save.

So Glorify Him, my friends.
Glorify HIm for the graces He has showered you,
Glorify HIm for the mercies he has shown to you,
Glorify Him for HIs forgiveness unto you.
Glorify Him for His Compassion to You.
Glorify Him for His Love.

Blessed be the Name of the Lord God Almighty,
Who Was, Who Is and Who Shall Always Be.
Blessed be the Name of the Lord God Almighty,
who is The Alpha and the Omega.


In Confidence in Christ,
Your Brother in Christ,
A. Lorenzo Lucino Jr.

We covered alot today, mostly focused on the upper arm and the lateral thoracic, my kids were  instructed (by yours truly, he he he ) to continue the removal of the adipose tissues and fat around the upper arm and to expose the muscles of the upper arm (biceps brachii, brachioradialis, brachialis, corochobrachialis, triceps brachiii, deltoid etc etc).

I had them identify the various structures: namely the arteries, veins, and the beginning of the brachial plexus of nerves.

I had them identify the muscles by wrapping a string in each muscular origin, etc etc.

I counted that I have 18 students.

She is also in my lab. *Sigh*
It was interesting trying to teach at the same time and trying to talk to her today.
Luckily for me I was wearing my surgical mask and my surgical goggles to hide the smile in my face everytime she and I talked.

He Is Radiance Everlating. He is clothed with Eternal Spleandor of the Heavens.
All The Earth is His footstool.

He is slow to anger and quick to forgive.
He is mighty to open rivers yet gentle to save a lamb.
