my only hope is that there would be no more filipino youth delegate who will risk everything and make a run as an illegal in europe.  i've met two or so (in a country in europe) who were part of bohol's delegation to the wyd in rome more than 10 years ago.  it's amazing, and disheartening.  it may be their chance in a lifetime, but this chance isn't really well worth the risk and the added insult we inflict on ourselves as a people.    

how nice of you to share this info, keko.  thank you very much.

as if we're not confused enough, here's another take...


Taking "the pill" won't increase a woman's risk of death -- in fact, oral contraceptive users may live longer, researchers say.

In a population-based study of women in the U.K., death from any cause was 12 percent lower among birth control pill users than among those who never took the drugs, Dr. Philip Hannaford of the University of Aberdeen in Scotland and colleagues reported online in BMJ.

"This is very reassuring and enables us to say with confidence to women that if they choose to use the pill as their contraceptive, they are highly unlikely to do long-term damage to themselves," Hannaford said in an e-mail to MedPage Today.

A large analysis of most of the studies carried out worldwide into oral contraceptives (the pill) and the risk of breast cancer, showed that women using the pill have a slight but significant increase in breast cancer risk. But the evidence suggests that the risk starts to drop once you stop taking the pill and 10 years after you stop your risk of breast cancer is back to normal.

If you have a family history of breast cancer, you may feel that this increase in risk (however small it is) is not worth taking. Doctors don't think that pill use is likely to change the size of the risk in women who have close relatives with breast cancer.  But we don't really have the research evidence to say how pill use might affect breast cancer risk in those with a family history.

If you have a history of breast problems, such as benign lumps, you may also feel that you should be extra cautious. It is thought that the oestrogen in the combined pill may cause the increased risk. So it may be better to take a brand of pill that has lower oestrogen. In the UK, most women are automatically put onto a low oestrogen combined pill by their doctors.

it is already a given that the risk is there.  it is alleged that the sad part is that these pills, like those injectable contraceptives, were tested first in third world countries.

In the Philippines, willingness to forget Marcos’ massive crimes reflects weakness of common conscience, he added. “Unless, the nation rises up to vindicate and reaffirm those values, it may be condemned to wander forever in the wilderness of valueless power plays of the elite.”

http://newsinfo.inquirer.net

Forgetting seemed preferable to “uncovering the facts, giving the nameless dead their true names and decent burial, and prosecuting the perpetrators,” Sociologist John Carroll, SJ told the 1999 Ateneo-Wisconsin University conference on “Memory, Truth-Telling and the Pursuit of Justice.” “The Philippines is a nation in denial.”

Of the 5,000 World War II collaboration cases filed with the People’s Court, only 156 ended up with a conviction. “(It) created the impression that there was no real difference between patriots and traitors. Or that it was not worth the effort to sort them out.”

In 1986, People Power drove Marcos and his cronies into exile. Serial coups battered the succeeding (Cory) Aquino administration, which survived and made a peaceful orderly transition to a duly elected government. But none of the Marcoses or coup artists were penalized. Instead, they became political and economic kingpins.

Punishment is not a matter of revenge or even justice, Father Carroll wrote. It is the community rising to reaffirm values seriously violated. “Not to react as a community would be to reduce a community’s values or ‘common conscience’ to personal preferenceâ€"and invite collapse.”

Saguisag’s proposal looks into the future. Even former presidents go the way of all flesh. A president convicted of plunder, or one who owned up to “Hello Garci” mucking with electoral process, may be interred without an uproar.

Will the work of all these “remembrancers” be for naught?

Social Weather Stations reports that 50 percent of Filipinos agree to a Marcos Libingan burial. And 49 percent say no.

Isn’t that a repeat of an Ateneo-Social Weather Station survey of June 1986? Conducted just after People Power, that survey found only 4 percent wanted Marcos to return from exile, and to be tried and convicted.


http://newsinfo.inquirer.net

Here, congressmen stared blankly at the 7,526 “remembrancers.” Cebu’s Judge Meinrado Paredes and Inquirer columnist Ma. Ceres Doyo were among the Marcos victims who received token $1,000 checks awarded by the US District Court of Hawaii. Their presence recalled the Court’s decision finding Marcos “liable for systematic torture, summary executions and disappearances.”

Former Sen. Rene Saguisag is a pro-bono “Remembrancer.” The Marcoses were kleptocrats according to a Sandiganbayan decision of 2003 (406 SCRA 190), he recalled in a letter to veterans. Impunity blanketed the 169 workers’ deaths in Imelda Marcos’ Film Palace. Marcos’ daughter Imee ignored the Hawaii court’s penalty for the 1977 salvaging of Archimedes Trajano, the Mapua student who questioned the then Kabataang Barangay head.

“Marcos may not belong in the Libingan,” Saguisag added. It would be different if a new law renames the 142-hectare cemetery as Libingan ng mga Bayani at mga Pangulo.

Today’s battle for memory defines tomorrow for our grandchildren. So, bear in mind how other countries dealt with the moral debris left by dictators.

Argentina’s human rights trials forced people to discuss issues over dinner. Chile has a monument “To the Disappeared.” South Africa’s Truth Commission documented abuses even by Nelson Mandela’s wife Winnie.

Protestant and Catholic churches in Brazil published secret regime documents titled: “Brazil Nunca Mais (Brazil Never Again).” In Guatemala, Catholic bishops drew up a four-volume work “to recover historic memory” of its 30-year civil war that left 100,000 dead or disappeared.


http://newsinfo.inquirer.net

“Forget the past,” Senators Juan Ponce Enrile, Gringo Honasan and Antonio Trillanes III kibitzed from the sidelines. “Let the country move on.” They parrot Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet (1915-2006).

Under Pinochet’s iron-fist rule, 2,279 persons were murdered by state agents. Thousands disappeared. “It is best to remain silent and forget,” Pinochet said after his extradition from the United Kingdom and imprisonment. “It is the only thing to do: we must forget.”

No, disagrees Czech author Milan Kundera. “The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting,” he writes in “The Book of Laughter and Forgetting.”


http://newsinfo.inquirer.net

Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and clan, together with Imelda Marcos, plus 210 other representatives, signed HR 1135. It badgers President Benigno Aquino III to allow a Libingan ng mga Bayani interment for the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos.

Communal amnesia would expunge all “New Society” crimes. “The Marcos family never expressed any remorse,” Inquirer’s Randy David points out. “They do not seek forgiveness.” They see HR 1135 “as a vindication of their innocence .…They want the nation to revise its remembrance of the past.”

Aquino, whose father was assassinated during the dictatorship, is asked to reverse the verdict of People Power. Also, it would shove, into an Orwellian memory shredder, various crimesâ€"from shell foundations in Lichtenstein, fake war medals, the confiscated 60-piece Roumeliotes jewels, to the 3,257 persons “salvaged,” 737 desaparecidos, plus thousands detained without trial.

‘Remembrancer’

By Juan Mercado
Philippine Daily Inquirer
04/09/2011

IN HIS column “Speak Memory,” Cebu Daily News’ Simeon Dumdum wrote wistfully of the need for a “Remembrancer,” an official of medieval times who jogged the memories of “barons” on pending matters.

The Remembrancer also hammered issues that the “nobles” preferred to forget, Dumdum, who is a Cebu Regional Trial Court judge, recalls. In the process, the Remembrancer squelched incipient tyrannies.

Like today’s House Resolution 1135?


http://newsinfo.inquirer.net

just a squeak of an answer, junjun.  from the looks of it, it's the power elites who proclaim heroes nowadays.  it's probably their way of having the favor returned to them one day when they themselves or their kin wish to be proclaimed as heroes too, after plundering the country.

At the end of the day, the only way the Marcoses can redeem the honor of the deposed dictator is to have him indirectly declared a “hero” when his remains get buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani. Who can later on dispute that the late strongman Ferdinand Marcos was not a hero when he is buried at the Cemetery of Heroes? Thereafter, it is much easier to embellish history to honor the “heroism” of someone buried in the heroes’ cemetery.

http://kuro-kuro.org/archives/3003

Burying Marcos in Libingan will insult the memory of former president Carlos Garcia, who espoused the “Filipino First” policy, not “myself first” policy, in his administration.

Burying Marcos in Libingan will insult the memory of General Artemio Ricarte, the father of the Philippine Army, who never took an oath of allegiance to the occupying American forces since the Philippine Revolution and the Philippine-American War. Amidst the persecution he suffered from fellow Filipinos and the American forces, he chose to stay in the country to continue his fight, saying, “I can not take refuge in Japan at this critical moment when my people are in actual distress. I will stay in my Motherland to the last.” And he lost his life standing for his Motherland.

Burying Marcos in Libingan will insult our memory as Filipino people, especially the desaparecidos, who judged him as a scoundrel who put himself and his family before his country, and putting an end to his military-protected dictatorial rule, through the EDSA People Power Revolution in 1986.

Burying Marcos in Libingan will insult ourselves as a people. And Filipinos must demand an explanation from their district representatives who supported HR 1135 (click here for the list). It is time for the Filipinos take their stand for the indignity they suffered in the hands of the late dictator.

http://kuro-kuro.org/archives/3003

But this resolution purposefully mistated the fact that the Filipino who may have been a patriot ceased to be so at the end of his life. Among those ignominous deeds of his dictatorial rule, the latest one deserved the order of the Sandiganbayan to the heirs of the Marcos estate to return the P10 million that the former president had transferred from the National Food Authority (NFA) to a private account in Security Bank on 27 July 1983.

If after all these ignominous things in the history of Marcos regime qualify for deeds that give “glory of his death” and “fights for freedom and democracy” we may as well rename Libingan with something else. And perhaps relocate the remains of those patriots, presidents and heroes of glorious repute somewhere else.

Burying Marcos in Libingan will dishonor the memory of those whose lives were offered to the country with no thought of monetary compensation, the soldiers in Corrigedor and Bataan who had to survive with no food in order to fight off the Japanese forces. Compare that to the US$ 7.5 million of sequestered assets that the US Court awarded to almost 8,000 human rights victims during his martial rule, P10 million diverted money from NFA, and still more that the Philippine government has not uncovered.

Libingan: Home for the Glorious Dead
April 13, 2011

By Zosimo Literatus

excerpts:

Glorious death, bringing honor to the country, fighting for the sake of freedom and democracy… These are the people who can claim to deserve burial in the Libingan. Not just any soldier, not just any president…

Lately, Rep. Salvador Escudero III (1st District, Sorsogon-UNO) filed House Resolution 1135 seeking to urge the administration of PNoy to allow the burial of the remains of late president and strongman Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan. He justifies in the second paragraph that Marcos was a well-decorated veteran of World War II and a survivor of the Bataan Death March, two historical claims that remained controversial for its questionable veracity. Succeeding paragraphs rattled off his membership in Congress, his presidency and his accomplishments as the longest-reigning president in the country and commander-in-chief of the Philippine armed forces.

In paragraph 7, Escudero capped the list with a claim that Marcos “remained a Filipino patriot to the end of his life and in death deserves to be honored as such.”

http://kuro-kuro.org/archives/3003

Stalin was an authentic Soviet war hero in the Patriotic War against the German invasion. Marcos’ heroic role in the resistance movement against the Japanese Occupation has been debunked as a monumental fraud.

The day 216 representatives signed HR 1135 seeking the burial Marcos as a national hero was a day of infamy in the post-Edsa Philippine democracy. Among other things, the Marcos regime is accused of the murder of several thousand Filipinos who opposed the dictatorship. Filipinos can never live down that day of betrayal by their representatives in Congress.


http://opinion.inquirer.net/

The regime change after the end of the Stalin era of terror ushered in a period of political reform. Khrushchev never questioned Stalin’s role in turning back the German invasion at Stalingrad in World War II, and his status as a hero.

In the Philippines, we are taking a reverse process. The political heirs and family of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos are moving heaven and earth to reestablish the Marcos legacy after it had been overthrown by the people in the 1986 People Power Revolution. The Soviet people removed the physical monuments of the Stalinist personality cult in the campaign to exorcise the legacy of Stalin in their national memory. Here we have been doing the opposite. Instead of expunging the Marcos legacy, cohorts of the dictatorship are using the democratic institutions restored by the People Power Revolution as the staging ground to bring Marcos back to public adoration through the resolution in the House of Representatives petitioning the President to allow the burial of the Marcos remains in the cemetery of heroes.

Analysis

Day of betrayal in Congress

By Amando Doronila
Philippine Daily Inquirer
04/14/2011

excerpts:

Five years later, it was time to physically remove Stalin from a place of honor. Khrushchev read a decree ordering the removal of Stalin’s remains. The decree said: “The further retention of the mausoleum of sarcophagus with the bier of J.V. Stalin shall be recognized as inappropriate since the serious violations by Stalin of Lenin’s precepts, abuse of power, mass repressions against honorable Soviet people, and other activities during the period of the personality cult make it impossible to leave the bier with his body in the mausoleum of V.I. Lenin.”

“A few days later, Stalin’s body was quietly removed from the the mausoleum,” said the article. “There were no ceremonies and no fanfare. About 300 feet from the mausoleum, Stalin’s body was buried near other minor leaders of the Revolution. His body was placed near the Kremlin wall, half-hidden by trees. A few weeks later, a simple dark granite stone marked the grave with the very simple identifying mark ‘J.V. Stalin, 1879-1953.’ In 1970, a small bust was added to the grave.”

House Resolution to resurrect Marcos;
Church leaders formulate new and improved holy water
Sunday, April 10, 2011


MANILA, Philippines--Prepare for doom.

A resolution signed by 216 lotus-eating Congressmen is seeking the resurrection of former dictator Ferdinand Edralin Marcos. House Resolution No. 1135 titled A Resolution to Summon the Dark Lord mandates all Philippine black magicians, warlocks, cult leaders, quack doctors, soothsayers, fortune tellers, tarot card readers, demigods, holy cows, jejemons, Beliebers, Ruben Ecleo Jr., RH Bill supporters, and all people impervious to reason and addicted to faith to join forces and pool powers to resurrect the dictator.

The lotus-eating Congressmen said that it is about time for the Philippines to become a tiger economy, and the only way to do that is to discipline the citizens first by way of iron hand.

"Only Ferdie has the guts to announce a martial law. Those who'll resist have two choices, either bend or break," the lotus eaters said.

The lotus eaters have already prepared a cheerful one-line speech that Ferdie is going to make as soon as he is resurrected.

"Good morning my countrymen! As of the twenty-third of this month, I signed Proclamation No. 1081 placing the entire Philippines under Martial Law! Have a nice day! "

Catholic Church leaders have told the public via radio sermons and holy mass that people should not be afraid, but instead fight the Dark Lord. The church has formulated a new and improved holy water, which comes in 5, 30 and 50ml spray bottles for only 30, 60, and 100 pesos respectively.

The new formula is said to be more concentrated and more powerful. It also comes in 5 different flavors such as mango, peach, lemon, apple and bagoong. Each bottle has been blessed and therefore has become a holier water.

To be able to fight the Dark Lord, the public is urged to get one bottle of holier water right now!

This is worrisome. Buffeted as we are by disturbing developments overseas and at our doorstep, we can ill afford the distractions of a house divided.

216 out of a maximum total of 250 congressmen supported hr 1135; a hands-down majority.

I WONDER HOW BOHOL'S CONGRESSMEN VOTED?  i couldn't find the list of signatories of this bill so far.

interesting.  the u.s. has H.R. 1135, but it's for waste disposal.

"To amend the Solid Waste Disposal Act to authorize Federal grants for the development of innovative recycling techniques." (HR 1135, US)


is our own hr 1135 a civilized way of waste disposal?

i won't be surprised if a minuscule portion of their massive wealth went to some legislators' hands to finance their next electoral campaign.  of course, no legislator in his right mind would admit this.  there are no proofs, anyway.

it's because as voters we are idiots.  we put them there.

No accountability

When the Philippines rejected the dictatorship in Edsa I, we didn’t make a clean break with a sordid past. Even with the restoration of democratic structures we have remained chained to the past.

Representatives of the people in Congress have been beguiled by the false argument that the rehabilitation of Marcos is an act of “statesmanship” that can throw wide open the gates of national reconciliation.

Under this approach, there is no recognition of accountability. There is no concession of wrongdoing and no expression of remorse for the plunder of public wealth and the deaths, disappearances and torture of victims in military “safe houses” of the dictatorship’s gulag system.

The Marcos heirs are back to positions of power and influence after free elections, flaunting their wealth, and mocking the Edsa People Power Revolution as if it never happened. There is no reconciliation without justice and no concession of guilt. The House resolution has torn to shreds the people power mandate that rejected the dictatorship.

Attack on mandate

No legislative act of elected representatives of the people in parliament can revoke that mandate of the Edsa People Power Revolution.

Thus, HR 1135 clearly contravenes the mandate of Edsa I to abolish the dictatorship and cannot be used by members of Congress to engineer the restoration of the Marcos dictatorial legacy and vindicate the regime with the flimsy argument that burying Marcos at Libingan ng mga Bayani would bring to a closure the dark episode of the dictatorship, promote national reconciliation and allow the country to “move on” toward national unity.

Those who signed the resolution are members of a political institution that was one of the first to be padlocked by Marcos when he declared martial law.

The lawmakers have also become the beneficiaries of a free and independent legislature that was restored by President Corazon Aquino in the wake of the l986 revolution.

And yet they are now at the forefront of the campaign to restore the legacy of the Marcos regime, ignoring in the process the fact that Edsa I was the charter of the abolition of the dictatorship and the restoration of Philippine democracy.

The congressmen are not in step with redemocratization. They are swimming against the historic tide of democratic restoration following Edsa I.

They are backsliding to the era when complicit parliament served as a rubber stamp of the dictatorship. The congressmen would find it hard to claim that their resolution represents the sentiment of the people in regard to Marcos’ rehabilitation.

Epic clash

HR 1131 triggered an epic clash over two great political traditions that have defined the themes of political discourse during the past 39 years.

The discourse is framed by the demolition of Philippine democracy and the establishment of a dictatorship in September 1972 and by the restoration of democracy with the Edsa People Power Revolution of February 1986.

For four decades, these traditions have marked the cleavage line along which Philippine politics has polarized.

Once again, the dictatorship-vs-democratic restoration paradigm has been forced up to the surface with the House initiative seeking the political rehabilitation of Marcos and legitimizing the the dictatorial legacy of his regime.

The House resolution was a sharp attack to overturn the doctrine that Edsa I ended the dictatorship. The revolution was an emphatic and direct exercise by the people of their sovereign right to change regimes.

The campaign to rehabilitate Marcos immediately whipped up a storm of controversy over the issue of the whether he deserved to be buried at the military cemetery, burial grounds of outstanding citizens of the Republic, including two past Presidents (Diosdado Macapagal and Carlos P. Garcia), military leaders and men of letters.

The charge against the House resolution was led by the powerful Catholic Church, which was the Marcos regime’s principal protagonist during the dictatorship.

The Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines (CEAP), the largest organized group of Catholic schools and institutions, issued a strongly worded statement on the commemoration of Araw ng Kagitingan, honoring Filipino soldiers who fought heroically to resist the superior force of Japanese invaders in Bataan 69 years ago.

The CEAP called on the congressmen who signed the House resolution to withdraw their signatures, warning them not to be part of the attempt to revise or falsify history. The statement bluntly said the resolution would “desecrate” Edsa I.

The organization pointedly denounced claims of Marcos supporters that he was a war hero as false, and went on to say that the massive corruption of the dictatorship sent the economy to its knees, turning the Philippines into the “sick man” of Asia.

Marcos burial resolution tears to shreds Edsa mandate

April 10, 2011

MANILA, Philippinesâ€"House Resolution No. 1135 seeking the burial of the late strongman Ferdinand Marcos at Libingan ng mga Bayani turned on its head the policy mandate of the 1986 Edsa People Power Revolution that toppled his 14-year dictatorship.

The resolution signed by 216 congressmen flagrantly defied the sovereign will of the people expressed by their uprising in the streets on Feb. 22-25, 1986, restoring democracy dismantled by Marcos when he declared martial law on Sept. 21, 1972.

The House move signaled the start of the campaign initiated by Marcos’ family and political heirs to restore the dictator’s political legacy through the burial of his body on the hallowed grounds of the heroes’ cemetery, according him the honors of a national hero.

This is all in defiance of the mandate of Edsa I.
