VOL. 11 NO. 74 FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 2012 ang mawalay sa pamilya ang isa sa pinakamahirap na sakripisyo ng isang OFW. Napakahirap alagaan ang ibang tao kaysa sa sarili niyang pamilya. Naway bigyan Nyo po sila ng katatagan at kalakasan sa mga gawain nila sa pang araw-araw. Punuin Nyo po sana ng pagmamahal at pang-unawa ang mga pamilyang naiwan nila dito. Amen (Ricloyd Roldan)

PARA sa punong abogado ng depensa, hindi kailangang humarap si Chief Justice Renato Corona sa paglilitis sa impeachment. I believe this is not good because the members of the impeachment court can examine him on all angles and Justice Cuevas cannot object, ani Cuevas sa isang palatuntunan sa ANC. The moment I start (raising questions), the judges will say out of order. Paulit-ulit na pinaliwanag ni Cuevas na sa ilalim ng mga alituntunin ng Senado, bawal istorbohin ng prosekusyon at depensa ang pagsusuri ng mga hukomsenador sa mga saksi, hindi tulad noong paglilitis sa impeachm e n t n i d a t i n g Pa n g u l o n g Joseph Estrada noong 2000. We are not adoring him or were not idolizing him, but it is not for Chief Justice Corona only but for everybody similarly situated in the future. I hope there will be none in the future, ani Cuevas. Ngunit inamin niya pa rin niyang maaaring ipatawag si Corona upang ipaliwanag ang mga account niya sa bangko. Agam-agam naman ng abogado ng depensa na si Tranquil Salvador III: Some people may take advantage of this just to taunt him, to ridicule him, to make fun of his office, even his person and family.

BIBIGYAN ng Estados Unidos ang Pilipinas ng hindi bababa sa $144.66 milyon (mga P6.19 bilyon) na tulong pandepensa ngayong taon, ayon kay Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario.
Sa harap ng Manila Overseas Press Club sa isang hotel sa Makati City, tinukoy ni Del Rosario noong Miyerkules ng gabi na an increase of $21.38 million (about P915.06 million) from the previous years appropriation ang bagong tulong ng US. Aniya, makatutulong ang pondo sa bansa na improve our national defense by building a minimum defense posture to protect our national sovereignty. Tinukoy ang kakulangan ng bansa, sinabi ni Del Rosario it behooves us to proactively seek the assistance and cooperation of our various international partners to achieve this minimum credible posture, which is a fundamental attribute of any sovereign country. Last year, we acquired a Hamilton-class cutter from the US, and we are expecting the delivery of a second cutter this year. Negotiations are likewise underway for more defense articles, including newer air assets for the Philippine Air Force, dinagdga niya. Binabago rin ng Maynila ang mutual defense partnership (with Washington) under the Philippines-US Mutual Defense Treaty in view of the changes in the regional and global security environment.

HE ONSET of Lent is a signal for most Pinoys to start planning their long vacation. But what about taking time out to do some self-introspection?
In a deeper sense, Lent can also mean that were living on borrowed time. So we ought to be less worldly. I asked some celebrities what they are giving up for Lent. Our little sacrifices are nothing when we think about the sufferings Jesus endured for us. I dont mean to sound preachy but we all need some spiritual awakening once in awhile. Let Lent make a dent. SHALANI SOLEDAD-ROMAN: Im a late sleeper so this Lent Ill be sleeping early and waking up at 7 a.m. GLORIA DIAZ: Bread and sweets. DEREK RAMSAY: No alcohol [for me]. KARYLLE: Im giving up going to chismis websites just like I did last year. Its

horrible. Im so chismosa. OGIE ALCASID: Im abstaining from alcohol and eating very light. AMY PEREZ: I usually refrain from watching TV during Lent and do the three Rs with my family relax, reflect and revive. MIRIAM QUIAMBAO: Im giving up fear, which blocks me from trusting, loving and living life to the fullest. MR. FU: I have been trying to avoid white rice for weeks, as part of my diet, but I would like to be consistent with my sacrifice. So this Lent, no white rice. Nakapag-diet na, nakapagsakripisyo pa. Lalabanan ko si Kim Chiu sa pagpapapayat. May ganun? POKWANG: Im giving up my love life for Lent kasi mas bongga ang bigay ni God na love. Kaya okay lang na tumanda ako ng walang jowa kasi love ako ni God. BUBBLES PARAISO: Im giving up wine. Last Lent I gave up chocolates.

Can a person really really change?
DEAR Joe, Im hiding under the name Becky. Im 25 years old, dating my boyfriend Dennis for three years now. We are a picture perfect couple, the type whom you see kidding around everyday, flirting even. The ones that look like theyre gonna end together, come what may. The ones that youd expect to end up in front of the altar, saying their vows and living together happily ever after.

My Joe D Mango days were nev- www.lovenotes.com.ph er complete if easily loses his temper. he wasnt One time he even around.

What used to cry to my can I say? It was a mom whenever my blissful relationship at dad shouts at all of us. the start.

We came man like my father. to work together, ate Do you believe that lunch together, went saying about girls unhome together. Since the bank and his office wittingly choosing men like their fathers? are located at the Every single day, I see same building, it was my dad in Dennis.

I saw the way he being slowly unraveled in marriage, He would want us to be sure of our decision and make us realize that once we say yes, there is no turning back. Becky, this is your test. You were brought closer to Dennis so that you can see deeper into his personality. Now that God has shown you who he really is, He wants you to look into your heart. If you think you dont have enough love to accept him for what he is then you know which way to take. But if your love is strong enough to overcome your fear then this relationship is a risk worth taking. Becky , there is no love that comes with a pain-free guarantee. We simply have to accept that getting hurt will always be part of loving someone. It is a given that we cannot change . Something that we just have to deal with when it comes. Talk to Dennis and give him the chance to prove his worth. A person who truly loves you will try his best not to do things that he knows will hurt you. Change is inevitable and the one who loves you sincerely is bound to change for the better and not for the worst. Becky, when the time comes that you have to make a decision, listen to both your heart and your mind and blame no one for the choice that you will make. If you are confused, pray for guidance for only God knows whats best for us . Let us always remember that what we will regret are not the things that we did out of love but the things we missed because we were to afraid to get ourselves hurt.
Love Notes
in front of my eyes. Joe, right now Im torn between loving him as he is and leaving him before I suffer the same fate as my mom did with my dad. I love him. Ever since I fell in love with him, I felt he was the only man for me. But at the same time Im so afraid that I would end up the way my mom did...suffering 30 years of keeping silent whenever my dad goes on a temper bout. I know no two people are ever the same, and I know that talking to Dennis about my fears may lessen his temper bursts for now, but who can say hell suppress his outbursts the rest of our lives? Can a person really really change for the better forever? Should I choose to listen to my heart, or should I choose to listen to my mind? My mind says no because of fear, but my heart says I love him and that love will make a difference. But Im 25 years old and the blinders have been raised from my eyes. I want to be idealistic, but I dont want to get hurt. Im so afraid to make the wrong decision and regret it for the rest of my life. Please help me. Love, Becky
BECKY, I know youre in a tough situation. You witness how your mom suffer in silence everytime your dad gets into his temper bouts and you wouldnt want to find yourself in the same situation. But we are talking about the man you love and the man you want to spend your life with. Your parents marriage was arranged . If given the choice, both of them might have probably married someone else. You cannot compare your relationship with Dennis to theirs. You and Dennis were bound by love. Your mom and dad were bound closely by the obligation to obey their own parents than by love. Becky, there will never be a perfect boyfriend or a perfect husband. Even if you find someone who isnt like your dad in his ways, it will still not be a guarantee that you will not be miserable in marriage. Many have fallen into believing that they have found Mr. Right only to realize in the end that they have vowed to live the rest of their lives with an irresponsible, selfish, and cold-hearted husband.
