ANGELES CITY – Sitio Targetin Barangay Sapang Bato usedto be a forgotten and forsakenplace.

But the Aweca and UPSFoundation have teamed up tomake the place a useful areaas they put up various projectsbenefiting Aetas.

Sitio Target is a place diffi-cult to reach, so understand-ably, hardly any services usedto tickle into it.

But areas like Sitio Targetthat AWECA Foundation andThe UPS Foundation are look-ing for to help improve andmake it useful.

On August 15, 2010, amemorandum of agreement(MOA) was signed betweenSitio Target ElementarySchool, Parents Committee,Sapangbato Barangay Counciland Aweca Foundation.

The MOA focuses on con-vening all community stake-holders designed to developthe school into a level worthyof its potentials.

Leonida K. Quinto, theschool’s principal, said that theSchool Caravan for IndigenousPeoples implementation was abig help to them.

“Under my watch and with-in two years of my administra-tion, the Aweca and The UPSFoundation were the first orga-nizations ever to extend assis-tance in implementing school-based gardening and plantnursery with feeding and com-munity literacy,” Quinto said.

“The School Caravan for IPshas long range plans and ac-tivities for them and I believe itis a sustainable project,” sheadded.

The project provides neces-sary inputs for a school-basedgardening, plant nursery andfeeding for a whole year. It islike one project sustaining an-other when the vegetable yieldsin the school garden are servedas part of the food being fed tothe children.

Quinto also referred to theplanting of 2,000 trees inside

Aweca, UPS turn Aeta sitiointo a progressive place

and outside the vicinity of SitioTarget as one remarkable projectunder the UPS Global Volunteer-ism participated in by at least1,000 officers and staff of UPSInternational.

Barely eight months intoproject implementation, resultsof the project have impacted onthe lives of the target beneficia-ries.

According to Quinto, be-cause of the feeding program,students would no longer haveto go home for lunch, giving themmore time to read and doschool-related activities.

“The academic performanceof the pupils has been raised:now only five out of 33 grade onepupils are non-readers, in thepast, there used to be more,”she said.

“The involvement of pupils insetting up and maintenance ofschool-based gardening andplant nursery is a practical wayof instilling to their young mindsthe significance of harnessingand caring their environment,”she added.

Quinto also said that theircommunity has a lot of resourc-es, but still malnutrition amongchildren is a problem.

“With this AWECA and UPSFoundation’s strategy, the com-munity through children learnedhow to utilize small backyard toproduce organically-grown cropsfor family’s consumption. Butthis is a long way process.”

She added that “the goodthing on this project, educationopportunity is not only limited tothe students.”

The foundations also reachout the parents who can’t readand write by employing a Com-munity Educator and providingindigenized self-learning modulewhich was developed by AwecaFoundation through The UPSFoundation support also. The lit-eracy program is unstructuredyet very appropriate becausetopics are more focus on publichygiene and responsible parent-ing.

It has also reportedly

strengthened parent’s partici-pation and support becausethey have been involved in suchactivities as school-based gar-dening, plant nursery, cookingand keeping the school clean.

Interest and involvement ofparents have snowballed, at-tracting more to participate inthe activities.

As a result, the infectiouscommunity spirit has caught in-terest of other non-governmentorganizations, making themcome up with such undertak-ings as Books of the Barrio, andvarious services provided by thegroup of Soroptomist, Koreansand other religious organiza-tions.

Quinto credits the prestigeattached to both the Aweca andThe UPS foundations for thewidening net of interest beingcast upon Sitio Target by othergroups.

“They must have thoughtthat if Aweca and The UPSFoundation do it and do it well,then it must be worth embark-ing on it, too.”

She said that the Aetas areindeed very grateful for the ben-efits they are reaping from be-ing part of the project. “

She said she has witnessedhow the Sitio Target Elementa-ry School has evolved from be-ing a sleepy, unproductiveschool to the present-day onethat is alive with activities andvibrant with the spirit of coop-eration forward-looking attitudeof the stakeholders.

“They now have a sense ofownership of the projects andthis is an important factor in itssustainability. One year canpass all too soon, we hope thatthe MOA will be renewed so wecan look forward to more pro-ductive endeavors with the twofoundations,” Quinto said.

And as an afterthought,Quinto expressed another hopethat more organizations wouldcome and involve themselves inworthy undertakings in thecommunity. “A worthy after-thought, indeed.”

Aeta mothers in Sitio Target taught how to cook.

It has been 16 months since32 media workers and 20civilians were massacred

in Maguindanao.

Sixteen months and justicehas not been served. The

suspected masterminds andperpetrators even said to be

on their way out jail.

So we persist in our cryfor justice, continue to prayfor the eternal repose of our

brethren, keep onremembering.

This, even as we confrontnew assaults on press

freedom, new attacks onthe working media.

There can be no forgetting.

Opting for lifeFOR SO long – albeit intermittently – has the nation been incontentious talks, if not contemptuous confrontations, about theReproductive Health Bill.

In the short existence of this paper – gaining independence andbasing here in October 2007 – no less than six editorials havedealt on the RH Bill.

With the pros and cons girding for what is considered their finalconfrontation, allow me to present my take on the issue here withwhat I consider the editorials that best impacted the pith of theissue.

What problem?“POPULATION, WHEN unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio.Subsistence increases only in an arithmetical rate. A slightacquaintance with numbers will show the immensity of the firstpower in comparison to the second.”

A sort of a demographic god did the 19th century Englisheconomist and historian Thomas Robert Malthus become with hisEssay on the Principle of Population.

Not too hard really for us ordinary minds thathigh population growth is one hell of a problem.

It depletes a country’s resources.It impacts tremendously on the environment.It severely depresses the provision of social

services.“The power of population is superior to the

power of the earth to provide subsistence…thatpremature death must in some shape or othervisit the human race.” So warned Malthus.

A warning that is not lost to those vigorouslypushing for the reproductive health bills inCongress, rattling off some statistics to boost theircase:

The 2.36 percent population growth rate has“put 2.6 million babies at risk in view of the evolvingand intensifying food crisis.”

According to Reuters, there were more than473,000 induced abortions in the country in 2000– a rate of 27 abortions per 1,000 women whichis above the US average rate of 20.

The high population growth rate adverselyaffects efforts to reduce poverty incidence.

So how do you solve the problem of populationgrowth? By engaging the Church in a debate onthe reproductive health bills in Congress?

“We want the debate to be more clear-headed.And I suggest four questions, and if (the Church)answers “No” to these questions, then (it) shouldsupport the bill,” dared Felipe Medalla, formerdirector-general of the National Economic andDevelopment Authority. The questions are:

Should the government do nothing to helpwomen, especially the poorest and the leasteducated among them, to plan their families?Should the government do nothing to help womenwho have unmet needs for family planning? Doyou think that modern contraception such as pills,IUD, vasectomy and condoms are immoral? Doespromoting these methods promote or increaseabortion?

To Medalla: “(The Church) has two options:To be unclear, or to be clear and wrong.”

Medalla, sadly, got it all wrong. The Churchhas another option. The revered Archbishop OscarV. Cruz has put it most succinctly thus: “Highpopulation is the country’s asset, not a liability.”

Even Malthus will find that hard to crack. So,how do you solve a problem that is not a problem?

Rage for life“IT IS not the health or dignity of the family that isbeing defended here. It is greed and profit motivethat is the main goal of this conspiracy againstlife.” Thus spake the Most Rev. Paciano B.Aniceto, D.D., archbishop of San Fernando ashe enjoined his flock to “fight the culture of death,the anti-life conspiracy… the Reproductive HealthBill.”

The good archbishop, chairman of thecommission on family and life of the CatholicBishops’ Conference of the Philippines, soundedthe call to arms on a most auspicious day —September 8, in Catholic tradition the birthday ofthe Blessed Virgin Mary, and in Pampanga, the52nd canonical coronation anniversary of theVirgen de los Remedios (The Virgin of allRemedies), the patroness of the province. He wasmain celebrant at the Mass offered by some30,000 devotees at the Villa del Sol subdivisionin the City of San Fernando.

Apu Ceto charged that the proposedReproductive Health and Population DevelopmentAct of 2008, which promotes the use of moderncontraceptives, was part of a global conspiracyagainst life. That which the Catholic Church ismorally mandated to oppose, as it accepts onlythe natural form of contraception.

The day after the archbishop’s call, all 91parishes under the Archdiocese of San Fernandowere reported to have mobilized to gather at leasta million signatures from Catholics in the provinceagainst the RH Bill.

“We have given out the forms. We will gatherat least one million signatures against the RHbill,” Apu Ceto was reported as saying.

Expected to be completed in two months, themillion signatures from Pampanga along withsimilar manifestos and position papers will beconsolidated by the CBCP to be presented as astrong lobby against the RH Bill at the House ofRepresentatives.

A fight for life, this is one war Apu Ceto andthe Catholic Church will never give up.

“Onward, Christian soldiers, marching asto war,

with the cross of Jesus going on before.Christ, the royal Master, leads against the

foe;forward into battle see his banners go!…At the sign of triumph Satan’s host doth

flee;on then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!Hell’s foundations quiver at the shout of

praise;brothers, lift your voices, loud your

anthems raise.…Like a mighty army moves the church of

God;brothers, we are treading where the saints

have trod.We are not divided, all one body we,one in hope and doctrine, one in charity…”

Onward then to March 27, 2011, Sunday, 1

p.m. at Villa del Sol Quadrangle, City of SanFernando for the Crusade of Penance for Life andPeace.

Lazatin, congressmenfrom Pampanga’s fourthand third districts voted noto back Mrs. Arroyo andher sons Mikey and Datoin voting “no” in favor ofGutierrez.

Lazatin said that whilehe supported the minoritystand against the im-

Kapampangan solons back GMA to save MerciFROM PAGE 1 peachment move, he left

the proceedings early be-cause he was sure thatthe impeachment movewould succeed anyway.

The House impeachedGutierrez past midnightyesterday, voting 212-46with four abstentions.Those who voted “no”came mostly from the op-position bloc. Only 95

votes were needed to im-peach Gutierrez.

The “no” voters includ-ed Nueva Ecija Rep. Rod-olfo Antonino, vice presi-dent for administration ofthe minority Lakas-Kampiparty chaired by formerPres. Arroyo.

Antonino and Zam-bales Rep. Milagros Mag-saysay apparently tried to

filibuster the proceedingsby insisting they had notreceived copies of the com-mittee report on the im-peachment move. This,however, was later re-solved.

Punto tried to interviewAntonino by phone yester-day but in a text message,he begged off, citing a se-ries of meetings that he

had to attend.In earlier interviews,

however, Antonino openlydeclared his support forthe Aquino administrationwhile remaining with theArroyo camp. He alsosaid that Lakas-Kampi inthe House only had about30 “solid” members re-

maining loyal to Mrs. Ar-royo.

Among those who ab-stained were Speaker Fe-liciano “Sonny” Belmonte,Cavite Rep. Lani Mercado-Revilla, wife of Sen. BongRevilla, and Las PiñasRep. Mark Villar, son ofSen. Manny Villar.

He also said that Zam-bales is the leading tour-ist destination in the re-gions as its beaches drewover 500,000 tourists an-nually in the last threeyears.

Based on DOTrecords, Pampanga rankssecond to Zambales fol-lowed by Tarlac, Bataanand on the fifth place inBulacan.

For her part, Bulacanprovincial tourism officerDinia Quetua, affirmed Tio-tuico’s observations.

She said that Bulacan’stourism industry relymostly on domestic tour-ists that visits over 120

Quetua said that Bula-can is considered as thewavepool capital in thecountry as it is home to atleast seven resorts withwavepools, the biggestconcentration in any prov-ince in the country.

Wavepool resorts inBulacan are located inMalolos City, and thetowns of San Rafael,Calumpit, Pandi, andBocaue .

Quetua said that wave-pool resorts are making upfor the absence of beach-es in Bulacan whose bayarea fronting the ManilaBay is being utilized for

aquaculture production.Francisco Dagohoy,

TheGossip-millerby Cesar Pambid

KUNG INAAKALA ni Kris Aquino na nagmukha siyang intelehente sa mga pinagsasabi niya lately, nagkakamali po siya. The truth is,from being a taklesa, certified bastos at bitter na’ng dating niya.

Respetadong babae na sana si Kris pero napaka-disgusting ng lately ay lumalabas sa kanyang kabibigan. Tuloy, puwede nangbinyagan si Kris bilang bagong babaing ampalaya, meaning maraming itinatagong kapaitan sa buhay.

Take note, di raw kasali sa buhay ni Josh si Philip Salvador? Ma-imagine mong sabihin niya yan, gayung alam niyang si Philip angama ng anak at sabihin na walang naitulong si Philip financially it is still not proper na walang karapatan ang amang si Philip kay Josh.

O baka naman, sadyang pinalabo ni Kris ang isyu upang si Philip ang mabuntunan ng sisi sa ‘kasalanang’ pumatol siya sa lalakingmay asawa noong unang panahon. Na si Josh ay bunga ng ‘kasalanang’ iyon kaya ngayon ay aligaga yang burahin sa kanyang lifestory?

Nope, hindi na mangyayari yun, si Josh ay anak ni Philip Salvador at ano mang bagay ang ipagbawal ni Kris ngayon, mananatili yunsa kasaysayan ng Pilipinas. Meron pa bang di nakaaalam na di lang minsang nadulas si Kris at naanakan nga ni Philip Salvador?

Si former Mayor Joey Marquez, paano kaya niya buburahin sa buhay niya?Heto pa, hindi rin maganda yung dating na pati anak niyang kulang pa sa muwang na si Bimby ay turuan niyang may kabit ang tatay

nitong si James Yap. Matuk na akala yata ni Kris ay cute yung bata sa pagsagot na si Isabel ang mistress ni James Yap. Napaka-offending nun sa panig nina Isabel Oli at James Yap.

I can only imagine kung gaano kasama ang loob ni Isabel Oli nang makarating sa kanya ang pangyayari.Analisis ng iba, kay Kris lang daw puwedeng natutunan ni Bimby yung paniniwalang kabit nga ni James si Isabel.At yung komento niya about Shalani Soledad sa isyung pagiging numero uno sa Google search. Hindi raw niya alam yun at kung

ano ang kahulugan nun. Hindi raw siya allowed mag-comment tungkol kay Shalani. Kailan pa?

Maraming kapaitan sa buhay…Kris Aquino bagong Ampalaya Girl!

Charo Santos nasa loob nga ba ang kulo?SA TRUE, in bad taste talaga yung sinabi ni Ruffa Gutierrez na kay Charo Santos patterned yung character niya bilangOrchidia sa Nagbabagang Bulaklak ng TV5. Na sinabi nga ni Ruffa, amiable, mabait pero nasa loob ang kulo ngcharacter. It is just like saying na nasa loob ang kulo ni Charo Santos.

Sa Pilipinas, ang ibig sabihin ng nasa loob ang kulo ay mahinhin pero pagdating sa sex, todo-todo. Or yungiba naman tatahi-thaimik pero sa loob nito ay mga bagay na puwedeng gawin. Offending talaga, kumbaga.

So far, silent lang si Charo sa isyu at hindi pa nagsasalita ng for or against it.Nakarating na nga kay Ruffa G na masama’ng loob ni Charo Santos dahil sa statement niya. Pero

ayaw maniwala nitong masama ang loob ni Charo Santos sa kanya matapos niyang sabihin na angkanyang role sa Mga Nagbabagang Bulaklak ay tulad ng kay Miss Charo na may mga hawak na talentat paiikutin niya ang buhay ng kanyang mga talent sa paraang gusto niya, dahil nasa loob ang kanyangkulo.

“Naku, I’m sure hindi naman papatulan ni Ma’am Charo ang intrigang ‘yan dahil alam naman niyanghindi gano’n ang gusto kong sabihin. Ang totoo, bakit ko sasabihin sa kanya ‘yon, e ang laki-laki ngrespeto ko sa kanya,” sey ng TV host-actress.

Sinabi rin ni Ruffa na totoong kung minsan ay iba ang sinasabi niya sa gusto niyang ipakahulugan.“Madalas kasing nangyayari, nakakain ko ang mga word na tamang gamitin at napapalitan ito

ng mga linyang hindi gano’n kagandahan, kaya kapag inaatake ako ng gano’n, kung minsannakakalimutan ko kung ano ang kahulugan nang gusto kong sabihin. But I’m sure, wala ‘yon kayMa’am Charo dahil wala namang dahilan para magsalita ako ng gano’n sa kanya,” pahayag niRuffa habang tuwang-tuwang pinanonood at pinakikinggan ang pagkanta ng dalawang anak.

Say mo, Madam Charo?

Sarah Geronimo humingi na ng tawadkay Cristine Reyes

DUWAG NAMAN pala ang mag-inang Sarah Geronimo at Divine something. Akala mokung sinong matatapang na kesyo ganyan at ganito nung isiwalat nila sa isang magazineang sama ng loob nila kay Crsitine Reyes. In print, ang tapang nilang mag-ina na kesyoganyan at ganon pero pag nagkita naman pala sila, ayun, sumuko at humingi ngkapatawaran.

Actually, marami ang nakasaksi pero tinawanan lang nila’ng mag-ina.Noong Linggo kasi sa ASAP, napadaan ang mag-ina sa dressing room ni Cristine,

ayun, sinagilahan yata ng takot, ninerbiyos na hindi na nakaiwas kay Cristine, sahalip niyakap ito nang mahigpit ni Sarah at buong pagsisising humingi ng sorrydito. “Bati na tayo, hindi naman totoong nainis ako sa ‘yo nang mag-tweet kalaban sa akin,” sabi pa raw ni Sarah G.

Pati nanay niyang si Divine, ganun din ang ginawa .O sino ngayon ang lumabas na may kasalanan? Sino ang nag-imbento

lang?Sa true, kay Cristine pa rin ang huling halakhak.O baka naman gimik lang ito ng mag-ina para sila pag-usapan?Ang plastik ay plastik ay plastik!Sabi nga ni Benny Andaya, baka lumutang kayo sa tubig!

Sobrang yabang ng datingng mag-asawang Nonito Donaire

at Rachel something!HALA, mas lalong nagalit si Chino Trinidad kay Nonito Donaire nangmagsalita ito nang hindi wasto sa isang talkshow kamakailan. Sobrangyabang kasi especially nung Rachel something na dyowa pala ni NonitoDonaire.

Sa nangyari, mas dumami pang press ang nagalit sa mag-asawaand it looks like dito na magsisimula ang pagbagsak ng mayabang naboksingero.

“E kung mga magulang niya, nagawa niyang murahin in public, yungpress pa,” litaw na litaw na bastos si Nonito at mas higit pang bastosang asawa niyang si Rachel,” sabi ng isang press na nakausap namin.

Heto ka, gusto pang mag-artista ng mag-asawa. Tila sa tingin ngmarami, sinusundadn nila’ng yapak ng mag-asawang Manny at JinkyPacquiao. But honestly, malayong-malayo sila sa mag-asawa sinceperfect ang relationship nila sa press especially those of the sportssector.

In an interview, sinabi pa ni Rachel something that she wants JoyceJimenez to play her should anybody would be interested to make afilm of their life. Kamukha raw kasi niya ito.

And Nonito, would play himself dahil confident itong guwapo siyaat mahusay umarte.

The nerve!Ang kakapal!Mano ba bago mag-ambisyong maging biggies ang mayabang mag-

asawang ito, pakisamahan muna nila ang mga tao sa kanilang paligidpara mahalin sila ng mga ito. Or at the least, mahalin nila nang buongkatotohanan ang mga magulang nila.

Kapag nagawa nila yan, saka sila magmayabang na ganyan atganito.

Hahaha!

Nevertheless there are sometraits that link them all together to one finest restaurant and that is- Italianni’s: freshness of ingredients, homey ambiance, familyoriented, and hospitality reign high for they want every guest to feelat home and enjoy the flavorful and robust Italian dishes.

While churning my Sicilian Chicken salad, short talk withGeneral Manager, Narissa “Richa” Matoza, added more delight asshe shared “So far we are very happy with the positive feedbackand good sales performance of this branch. To make guests feelmore comfortable, all restaurant staff, crew and servers we hiredare kapampangan para mas feel at home and they cancommunicate easily but we all trained them in Manila. Well, othersthought pricy ang Italianni’s but in fact it’s not, as you can see bigserving kami maybe in one order good for 2 or 3 na depende and
