PNoy: SC decision on DAP may paralyze PH growth

In his speech at a good governance forum hosted by the Palace, Aquino again defended the legality and the intent of the DAP, which he said was to boost the Philippine economy.

The President said the World Bank itself stated outright that

the DAP contributed to economic growth in a report released in March 2012.

But the "deeply unsettling" high court ruling declaring key parts of the DAP as unconstitutional will have a "chilling effect" on the economy and on

millions of Filipinos, Aquino said.

In the short-term, Aquino said SC decision would slow down government spending. In the long-term, the DAP ruling removes the country's flexibility to effectively respond to changing market conditions, and grab or even create economic opportunities.

"It condemns us to a spiral of inefficiency, uncertainty, and lack of confidence," Aquino 

China tells US: Stay out of sea dispute BEIJING (July 15) - China told the United States on Tuesday to stay out of disputes over the South China Sea and leave countries in the region to resolve problems themselves, after Washington said it wanted a freeze on stoking tension.

Michael Fuchs, U.S. deputy assistant secretary of state for Strategy and Multilateral Affairs, said no country was solely responsible for escalating tension in the region. But he reiterated the U.S. view that "provocative and unilateral" behaviour by China had raised questions about its willingness to abide by international law.

China claims 90 percent of the South China Sea, which is believed to contain oil and gas deposits and has rich fishery resources. Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Taiwan also lay claim to parts of the sea, where about $5 trillion of ship-borne trade passes every year.

China's Foreign Ministry repeated that it had irrefutable sovereignty over the Spratly Islands, where most of the competing claims overlap, and that China continued to demand the immediate withdrawal of personnel and equipment of countries which were "illegally occupying" China's islands.

"What is regretful is that certain countries have in recent years have strengthened their illegal presence through con-

struction and increased arms build up," the ministry said in a statement.

China would resolutely protect its sovereignty and maritime rights and had always upheld resolving the issue based on direct talks with the countries involved "on the basis of respecting historical facts and international law", it added.

China "hopes that countries outside the region strictly maintain their neutrality, clearly distinguish right from wrong and earnestly respect the joint efforts of countries in the region to maintain regional peace and stability", it added, in reference to the United States.

Recent months have seen flare-ups in disputes over rival offshore claims.

Anti-Chinese riots erupted in Vietnam in May after China's state oil company CNOOC deployed an oil rig in waters also claimed by Hanoi.

Relations between China and the Philippines have also been tested in recent months by their dispute over a different area. A Foreign Ministry spokesman in Manila said the Philippines strongly supported the U.S. call for all sides to stop aggravating the tension.

The United States wants the 10-nation Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) and China to have "a real and substantive discussion" to flesh out a call for self-restraint contained

in a Declaration of Conduct they agreed to in 2002, with a view to signing a formal maritime Code of Conduct, Fuchs said.

A U.S. official said the issue was raised again last week with

China at an annual Strategic and Economic Dialogue, a bilateral forum that seeks to manage an increasingly complex and at times testy relationship.

China's Foreign Ministry

said that it and ASEAN were carrying out the Declaration of Conduct and "steadily pushing forward" talks on the Code of Conduct. (Additional reporting by Manuel Mogato in Manila; Editing by Robert Birsel)

Erap distances self from impeach moves vs PNoy

FORMER PRESIDENT JOSEPH ESTRADA

MANILA (July 15) - Former President and now Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada on Tuesday said that he is too busy with the problems of the city to meddle with the impeachment moves against President Benigno Aquino III over the controversial Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP).

Estrada, accompanying his son Sen. Jinggoy Estrada in his bail hearing at the Sandiganbayan, said he would rather concentrate in solving the concerns of his constituents than on the national issue such as impeachment of a President.

"Ayaw kong makiaalam sa national problem at mag-concentrate sa problema ng local.

Marami pang dapat asikasuhin sa Maynila," Estrada said.

Estrada came to the Sandiganbayan with his wife Loi, son Jude, and some friends to show support to Jinggoy, who is facing plunder and graft charges in connection with the pork barrel scam.

After the bail hearing at the 5th Division, chaired by Associate Justice Roland Jurado, the younger Estrada advised the President to exercise sobriety in light of the DAP controversy.

"Sana konting hinahon lang," the senator said, referring to Monday's 23-minute televised speech of the President.

"Huwag na tayong magmatigas. We should accept the verdict of the Supreme Court (on DAP)," the senator added.

Prosecutors seek Enrile’s suspension MANILA (July 15)- Government prosecutors on Tuesday filed a petition before the Sandiganbayan seeking the suspension of Senate Minority Leader Juan Ponce Enrile.

PNoy: FOI law will be passed within my term MANILA (July 15) — President Benigno Aquino III assured on Tuesday that a Freedom of Information (FOI) law will be enacted before he leaves his office in 2016.

Responding to a question of Makati Business Club chairman Ramon Del Rosario Jr. during a good governance forum in the Palace, Aquino said there is a need for such a transparency measure.

"The assurance, I think, should be given at this point in time that it will be passed before the end of my term," Aquino said.

The President, however, reiterated that he cannot certify the measure as urgent since the Constitution requires public calamity or an emergency for such action.

Aquino also said that this administration has suggested to Congress certain amendments

to the proposed FOI measure to make it a "really doable activity" for the government.

His assurance on the FOI's enactment comes amid criticisms against his government for failing to disclose fully and immediately the projects and programs funded under the Disbursement Acceleration Program.

Last March, the Senate approved on third and final reading the FOI bill sponsored by Senator Grace Poe. Under the measure, citizens will have the right to request and be granted access to records or information that is under the control of government, subject to reasonable exceptions.

Once enacted into law, the FOI bill will require government officials to act or comply with the request for information within 15 working days.

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has also prepared food and non-food items at evacuation centers.

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), meanwhile, is ready for clearing operations.

The Philippine Coast Guard reported that over 4,500 passengers have been stranded so far, mostly in the Bicol area, as travel by air and sea have been suspended.

More areas have been placed under storm warning signals due to Glenda, state weather bureau PAGASA said Tuesday morning.

PAGASA said the typhoon was packing maximum sustained winds of 120 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gusts of up to 150 kph.

Glenda is expected to make landfall in Albay-Sorsogon area this afternoon.

It is expected to be in the vicinity of Metro Manila by Wednesday morning and exit the Luzon landmass through Zambales in the afternoon.

Glenda would be at 300 kilometers west of Sinait, Ilocos Sur by Thursday morning. By Friday, the typhoon is expected to be in the vicinity of Southern China.

PAGASA earlier said Metro Manila, the Bicol region, Calabarzon, Marinduque, Oriental Mindoro and Northern Samar will experience stormy weather today while Central Luzon and the provinces of Romblon, northern part of Leyte, Occi-

dental Mindoro, Aklan, Capiz, Pangasinan, Nueva Vizcaya and Quirino, will have rains with gusty winds and rough to very rough coastal waters.

The rest of Visayas and Mindanao will experience cloudy skies with light to moderate rains and thunderstorms while rest of Luzon will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.

PAGASA is advising fishing boats and other small sea crafts not to venture out into the eastern seaboards of Luzon and of Visayas.

The agency said moderate to strong winds blowing from the northeast to northwest will prevail over Visayas and the rest of Luzon and coming from the west to southwest over Mindanao with moderate to rough seas.

Alexander Pama, executive director of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, said the council's field offices in at least seven regions, including Metropolitan Manila, had been put on alert for landslides and flash floods.

"Our initial assessment is that there is not much on the wind. What we are wary about are landslides, flooding," Pama said.

Schools suspended classes Monday afternoon in some areas, including Manila, the capital. Local officials urged sea vessels not to sail in the storm's path, readied relief goods and prepared for the possible evacuation of residents, especially in flood- and landslide-prone areas.

In their motion to suspend Enrile, the prosecutors said the purpose of the suspension is "to preserve the integrity of the prosecution of the accused by preventing him from intimidating or influencing witnesses or tampering documentary evidence..."

"It is presumed that unless accused is suspended and prevented from discharging official acts, he may frustrate his prosecution and commit further acts of malfeasance," the motion read.

The prosecution team asked the court to schedule the hearing on their motion on the 18th of July.

WB’s Kim: If reforms continue, future is bright for PH MANILA (July 15) – World Bank president Jim Yong Kim said the Philippines has the potential to be "the next Asian miracle" amid economic growth achieved under the Aquino administration.

At the Daylight Dialogue event in Malacanang Palace, Kim said if the Philippine government continues implementing reforms to address corruption, “the future is very bright for the Philippines.”

“If it continues down that path, if it continues making the reforms it has already committed to, and maintain the strong macroeconomic fundamentals, I see very strong growth,” he said on Tuesday.

Kim, who is in the Philip-

pines for a two-day visit, lauded the country’s economic gains, giving credit to both the government and the young working demographic.

“If you look at the situation right now, the macroeconomic fundamentals are very good, very strong management over the past four years. We see a young, very vibrant workforce, and the young people are now known for a strong work ethic, the ability to speak English, a very internationalize-able workforce,” he said.

Kim noted, however, that there are still some improvements needed in the business sector in public-private partnerships, creating more jobs and empowering small and medium

enterprises.

“Can the government do more working with the private sector to enhance the vibrancy of the private sector growth and job creation? Yes, I think there are always things you can do to improve the business environment,” he said.

During his speech, Kim also

highlighted government’s efforts in streamlining business regulations, reducing the cost of doing business and reducing opportunities for corruption, adding that other countries have a lot to learn from the Philippines.

"So many things we are learning from the Philippines will be important to share with other countries all over the

world. In some other countries we would call the cutting edge of governance reform, broadly, a transformational age of governance progress is dawning for countries with courage to act.

Around the world the spread of info tech is converging with grassroot movement for transparency, accountability and citizen empowerment," he said.

DAD’S CONSENT

“The thing with me is I don't want to get married, I just want kids. I talked to my dad about it before. Actually, he was the one who told me, ‘Don't get married, just have kids.’ He was the one who told me that and he was the one who gave me that idea,” Ellen

told repor ters on the set of “Moon of Desire” in Antipolo Ci t y on Tuesday, July 8.

But she’s not dismissing the possibili t y of get ting married someday.

“I just really want to have kids first. Then if I feel I want to marry the guy, that’s it. O sige, I wanna get married at 38 or 40. I don’t know.”

WHAT’S THE FUSS?

Ellen added that her boy friend of almost a year (they have known each other for six years) under-

stands her concern about marriage and kids.

“We’re still together anyway.

If tayo forever, what’s the fuss?

It’s just a (piece of) paper,” Ellen explains.

FHM’s Top 8 Sexiest shared that Raoul isn’t the jealous t ype because he feels secure about the relationship.

“I never give him reason to doubt me. I always make him feel

secure. Wala naman akong ibang activities, he knows every thing I do. I think that also helps a lot, I make an ef for t also. It takes two to tango,” Ellen said.

POLITICIAN SUITOR?

Asked about a politician who repor tedly tried to cour t her, Ellen revealed that the guy did not woo her but sent a “friendly tex t” once.

Al though Ellen did not give the politician’s name, she shared that she worked with him in the movie “Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote,” which starred Sen. Bong Revilla.

“He’s in jail! Hindi siya nanligaw, walang panliligaw na naganap. Mo (Twister) asked me (in a podcast inter view) kung may mga politicians ba na nagtetex t or nagmu-moves, nag tex t lang once. Nothing (na) ‘Can we meet up somewhere?’ Walang ganoon.”

As Tamara in “Moon of Desire,” Ellen shared that she did not expect her role to be as big as it is now.

“I’m so happy and very thankful kasi expected before the show star ted na parang wallflower na may kaunting lines lang. Hindi ko alam na ganito pala ka-bongga ang aking role. But I’m very thank ful, I’m learning a lot. It’s hard. It gets harder. Every taping is a challenge because it’s dif ferent. It’s always a surprise what’s gonna happen.”

Although it came out a lit tle bit shor t as its st yling isn’t for ever yone (though we like its dramatic lines), its driving experience was overshadowed by the likes of the Golf and the GTI, even with a potent Turbo model.

That said, Australia’s GoAuto repor ts that this could be the first and last Veloster generation as

According to the repor t, Hyundai has only managed to shif t a total of 60,000 units worldwide, with more than half of those being sold in the United States and Canada. However, sales saw a sharp decline in 2013.

The Veloster has only been with us since 2011 and as a result, it’s due for a mid-cycle refresh.

VER wondered what it would be like to ride in Mike’s VIP Cima? The timeless classic Nissan Cima Y33, otherwise known as the Infiniti Q45 here in Nor th America, is not your average sor t of vehicle.

The st yling seemed to resemble the Mercedes, yet was primarily made to compete with the Toyota Crown Mejesta which had a V8 engine.

Mike's Cima has all the luxurious lit tle perks to it, with all the power he needs from the VQ30DET. VIP style modifications have been of ten linked to the Yakuza, having these vehicles modified in order to avoid detection from police and rival gangs.

Nowadays, VIP styles usually have common characteristics, high-end wheels with insane amounts of dish, low of fsets that sit flush, exhausts that stick out past the bumper, body kit, lip kit, glossy paint and more.

Yet traditionally, colour variance falls between black, white, silver or grey.

With THIS Cima though, let's just give you a quick tour. When you take a seat, you'll see the Pioneer 7" touchscreen deck in front. The Junis Motor Future Woodgrain Wheel with M'Spor t horn but ton, Junction Produce Neck Pillow/Backseat Pillow, the beautiful Garson D.A.D Front table, blanket and slippers along with an HKS boost gauge w/ HKS rubber gauge holder.

This eye-opening, head-turning, neck-breaking, astonishing Y33 even sits on Work LS507 although now, he's gone through a slight change. For those new things, you'll have to catch at SpeedFest (July 19th, 2014). Yet, here's a par ts list of what I personally received from the man, himself.

Work LS507 Front: 19x9.5 +15 (245/40/19) Rear: 20x11+20 (275/30/20) The list goes on yet, like I said - come check it out at SpeedFest!

The only one (from what I've seen) to grace the streets of Winnipeg, having you wonder what he's truly running under the hood.

Seems simple, yet elegant, awaiting someone of Presidential ranking to swing out the back door, wave and then re-enter the

AUTO GALLERY CUSTOMS:

A Dealer like no other in Winnipeg

A

UTO Gallery of Winnipeg understands that buying a vehicle can be a very difficult process. Many people have experienced intimidating sales tactics. Questionable pricing and old school thinking make it difficult to know if you are truly getting the best deal.

Auto Gallery of Winnipeg’s approach is completely different from most other dealers. Their philosophy is to ensure that customers are not pressured into buying a vehicle, but are encouraged to find the perfect one to suit their needs.

Co-owner Gord Pedersen says “Every vehicle’s price is clearly listed on both the window sticker and the website which makes it easy to compare. We are truly Winnipeg’s original keep it simple, no haggle dealer. We know that customers don’t like games, especially when making a big purchase!”

All vehicles are inspected before they arrive on the lot. “We go out of our way to look for the lowest kilometer vehicles with warranty remaining. If you

look around our lot, the majority of vehicles are nearly new but cost thousands of dollars less. We strive to have the best value and selection in the province with unique vehicles seen anywhere else.” Pedersen says.

At any time, Auto Gallery will have more than 275 premium used vehicles in stock.

Auto Gallery’s inventory now includes more than 30 different brands of vehicles including everything from favorites like Honda, Ford, Dodge, and Nissan to high-end brands like BMW, Audi, Mercedes and more. The dealership is finding customers prefer selection and want to see huge selection in one stop.

Auto Gallery’s staff is informed and helpful, but certainly not pushy. Integrity is key at Auto Gallery.

“We want our staff to ensure that it’s all about the customer,” says Pedersen. Each vehicle comes with a complete vehicle history report, safety and 120-point inspection, to ensure that every concern is covered.

Auto Gallery Customs also has a complete service center.

Auto Gallery’s philosophy of putting the customer first doesn’t end at the sale, they provide service and unbeatable value after purchase as

well. Their vehicles can also be personalized at Customs, so for example if a customer wants different wheels or leather interior, they make it happen.

This added feature ensures that every buyer doesn’t just get a car they like, they can now get their exclusive car.

Auto Gallery has the ability to personalize an individual’s automobile and finance their custom changes into their purchase. The customer can have

it all right now.

It is easy to see why Auto Gallery has the highest repeat and referral customer rating in the province and why they have won more than a dozen awards. With an A+ from the Better Business Bureau and an award from the Assiniboia Chamber of Commerce, plus six Consumer’s Choice Awards and six Top Choice awards, voted by local consumers, it’s easy to see why the dealership is so popular with buyers.

said.

Aquino said it is a shame that the DAP ruling could affect the economy when the Philippines is on its way to eradicate poverty by having a growth rate

consistent at seven percent.

"Unfortunately, the effects of the Supreme Court decision run the risk of putting our country’s development in a state of paralysis—or worse, reversing the massive progress we have already made," Aquino said.

Aquino admitted that he has ordered the suspension of programs and projects funded under the DAP, including those involving infrastructure and social services.

He said the SC ruling is unacceptable because the DAP

ensures that essential services are reaching Filipinos.

"I find it difficult to accept the decision of the Supreme Court, when it goes against the benefit our countrymen," the President said.

Introduced by the Aquino

administration in 2011, the DAP was a stimulus package designed to fast-track public spending and push economic growth. It reallocated savings generated by the government to fund other programs and projects. PHILSTAR

Reducing using a

muscle tightness

TENNIS BALL What happens when the muscles are tight?

When the muscles in our body are tight, it causes pain and spasm and keeps our body from moving naturally. It disables us to do normal movements of the arms, legs neck and low back, causing our body to compensate due to pain.

If you are an active individual, have a physical demanding job, or even a sedentary job, you would have had to experience some type of muscle pain, muscle spasm or muscle tightness (also known as a knot).It’s called a knot because the muscles are bunched up together in one specific area compressing on nerve endings causing pain and spasm. Overtime without any treatment, the muscle will go through pain and muscle spasm cycle.

KNOTS

• Poor posture • Resistance workout in a consistent basis (weight training) • Stress In this issue I’ll teach you how to use a simple object like a tennis ball to reduce muscle tightness or knot. There are many types of objects that you can use to help loosen tight muscles such as knobbers or even pointed table corners or door frames. Well, tennis balls are objects that can be used for self-massage for that instant pain relief.

We will go through common muscle problem areas that help relieve pain using a tennis ball. For all of the treatment you can use the wall or the floor to help apply pressure to tight muscle.

Circulate the tennis ball on the painful area applying pressure as tolerated.

Use the tennis ball for as long as you are satisfied. However, keep in mind that if you do too much it may cause some bruising in the area. If this happens, apply ice over the sore muscle.

Depending on the severity of your pain and muscle tightness, apply treatment once a day daily or every other day.

Be sure to save room for recovery before repeating the treatment. Listen to your body for when you will need to repeat your treatment. Trust me, you will know.

Human rights should never be taken for granted

FTER years of talks and construction, Canada will soon have a world-class national museum of human rights and it will be located here in Winnipeg. The museum which cost several hundreds of millions of dollars is scheduled to open in September and the expectations are high as it is going to draw people from around the world to Winnipeg.

The location of our shiny new museum is along the Red River and it is about a fiveminute beautiful walk from the "Forks" which happens to be Manitoba's most popular tourist attraction. The structure of the Canadian Human Rights Museum is most impressive and it really complements Winnipeg’s skyline but most importantly, it brings to life in a very real way the issue of human rights.

For me, the museum should highlight and educate people about how human rights are often overlooked and forgotten through the passage of time. I would like to give a few examples related to genocide.

Rock bottom truth

This is one of the mostbeloved verses in the Bible.

I have often heard this verse quoted, and I have seen it on signs and posters and plaques.

Many Christians commit these words to memory. We inscribe them on graduation cards. We share them with those who are sick, discouraged or in some sort of difficult situation. For many people, this is the only verse from Jeremiah that they know.

This verse makes a wonderful promise that believers have claimed for hundreds of years.

It has been a lifeline, especially when going through hard times. We will never properly understand this verse unless we know something about its

The single most important fact is that it was written to the Jewish exiles in Babylon who had been forcibly removed from Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar.

Having been uprooted from all they held dear, they now live hundreds of miles away from home, in the very heart of pagan idol worship. All their dreams and hopes had been demolished.

2) They thought they would never get out of Babylon. That led them to despair.

Don’t let them get away

OME of those implicated have turned themselves in, naming members of the Tau Gamma Phi fraternity allegedly involved in the hazing that led to the death of neophyte Guillo Servando. From 15 to 20 individuals are wanted by the National Bureau of Investigation, which is handling the probe.

With suspects identified and their photos obtained, authorities should intensify efforts to prevent anyone from evading the law.

Immigration officials have reportedly confirmed that four of the fraternity members identified to the NBI have left the country. Even before a case is filed in court, the state has the power to keep track of the whereabouts of persons under investigation for a felony.

OR I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope -(Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV).

The Department of Justice, which has jurisdiction over the NBI, can seek the cancellation of the passports of the four who have left. Probers should also look into the culpability of anyone who hides the wanted fraternity members or assists them in evading justice. This should include officials of the Tau Gamma Phi who claimed not to know about the hazing in which their highest ranking member allegedly participated.

Fraternities get away with hazing, even when it kills. It’s the biggest reason why the orgy of violence persists. The Anti-Hazing Law holds culpable not only the direct participants but also school officials, fraternity alumni, and even parents who allow violent initiation rites to take place in their homes. Yet justice evades hazing victims and their loved ones as the typical prosecution crawls along for 10 to 20 years. Justice for hazing victims is most elusive when law fraternities are involved and fraternity alumni influence the trial.

Those who lose loved ones to hazing become victims twice over when they see the ones responsible get away with a heinous crime. The case of Guillo Servando should serve as a watershed in ensuring that monsters will not get away with brutal murder in the name of brotherhood. Philstar

ROVERBS 13:22 - A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

Solomon knew a lot about wealth. He was one of the wealthiest men of all time. He also had a lot of wisdom. Read the book of Ecclesiastes written also by Solomon and you will see that he came to the conclusion that there are some things which are much more valuable than silver, gold, and things.

He shares with us in Ecclesiastes 12:13 what they are... Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

Ano ang iyong ipamamana?

Have you seen the bumper sticker… "We’re out spending our children’s inheritance?"

You might say… well... the children’s inheritance will depend upon how much we have left!

The inheriting that I’m speaking is not what you leave to them after you’re gone... such as money, material possessions or real estate.... the inheriting that I speak of is what they are inheriting from you right now! What they are inheriting from us right now is far more important than any amount of money, property or anything else that we could give them.

Those things are temporal.... the inheriting that I’m speaking of is eternal.

HAT truly happens to a community in our contemporary governance when local leaders settle down to decide what sort of politics they should entertain under the prevailing economic circumstance?

There was the report the other day that close to 500 members of the League of Municipal Mayors of the Philippines (LMP) would hold a twoday conference in Cebu City to “polish local programs to attain inclusive growth, a goal of the national government.”

According to the LMP national president, they intend “to promote programs that would help attain all-inclusive growth, reduce poverty incidence and promote good governance.”

However, the issue of achieving and sustaining productive politics in the nation remains to be a goal in the Philippines.

Pamana REV. RUEL CALITIS CAMIA

Reflect for a moment on your relationship with your children. How is it? What are they inheriting from you? Is your faith the way that you would like to pass it along to your children? How about your priorities?

And how about your practices? Would you be pleased, and proud to see your children practicing what you practice?

Shout Out sinabi na inihahanda niya ang baong ito pagdating ng araw upang doon din siya pakainin tulad ng ginawa ng kanyang nanay sa kanyang lola.

Everyday... bit by bit, piece by piece our children are inheriting things from us that we mold the way they believe, behave, and think. The things that we are passing along to them, passing down to them is molding them!

What are our children, grandchildren inheriting from us?

I. Children will inherit your principles.

First graders were asked to draw a picture of God in their Sunday School class. Their finished products contained some interesting theology. One kid had God depicted in the form of a brightly colored rainbow. Another presented Him as an old man coming out of the clouds.

An intense little boy drew God with a remarkable resemblance to Superman. The best snapshot came from a little girl. She said, "I didn’t know what God looked like, so I just drew a picture of my daddy."

When our children look at us, do they see any of God in us?

Deut 6:6-9 - And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and

when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates! a. We need to teach our children about religion.

When I speak of religion here, I’m speaking of the one true undefiled religion which is belief in the God of the Bible.

Before we can properly and adequately teach our children about the Lord, and his word.... the words must first be in our own hearts!

Don’t expect your children to believe something that you don’t!

Don’t expect your children to be obedient if you’re not!

We are outraged that prayer and bible reading is not allowed in the schools...

But, are we teaching our children, and praying with our children within the walls of our own homes?

One man, Max Jukes, did not believe in religion and married a girl of the same opinion.

From this union came 1,026 descendants. Studies showed that 300 died prematurely; 100 were sent to the penitentiary; 190 sold themselves to vice; 100 were drunkards, and the family cost the state of New York $1,100,00.00!

Another man, Jonathan Edwards, believed in God and in his Christian training and married a girl of like character.

From that union 729 descendants were studied and they dis-

covered that 300 were preachers, 65 were college professors, 13 were university presidents; 6 authors; 3 U.S. Congressmen and 1 was vice president of the United States. b. We need to teach them about Relationships.

The institution of marriage. ily.

The importance of the fam-

c. We need to teach them about Responsibility.

People today have become experts at playing the "blame game". Everyone it seems wants to blame someone or something else for their problems.

We must teach our children to be responsible, and and to assume responsibility for their own actions.

II. Children will inherit your Priorities. a. The Priority of Truth.

Where do our priorities lie?

Where are our treasures?

Matt 6:19 - Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal.

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.

Matt 6:33 - But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Col 3:2 - Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Mark 8:36 - What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? b. The Priority of Togetherness There are many things which are having a negative impact upon the children of our day, but none more than the breakdown of the family structure, and unwed pregnancies.

We need to pass down to our children the importance of the family, and being together! c. The Priority of Time.

Children spell love... t-i-m-e.

How much time do we spend with our children?

Heard it said... not quantity but quality III. Children will inherit your Practices.

The bus was packed on a hot summer afternoon in Phoenix, Arizona. The traffic was heavy, and the passengers were impatient. Soon a man became irate that he was going to be late for a meeting, and started cursing. As he passed the driver to exit the bus at his stop, the bus driver said to him, "Sir, you’ve left something behind." The man turned to look back. The driver continued, "You left behind a bad impression!"

What kind of impressions are we leaving on, and with our children by our actions/ attitudes?

They are inheriting our practices everyday!

It is foolish to think that we can live one way, and expect our children to live another!

If we attend church, more than likely our children will.

If we pray, more than likely that our children will. 

Political economics But the real challenge to national development is really how to overcome the gap that was left as gaping holes in the overall economic portrait of the Philippines close on the heels of the total effort to meet the demands of recovery.

He assumed a rather determined stance when he said that the mayors’ meeting “would further cement support for President Benigno Aquino III who initiated reforms that are beginning to transform the local economic landscape.” The problem, though, is that the overall political atmosphere in the Philippines is in a waitand-see attitude regarding the presidential attitude.

This as the Luzon LMP president revealed that they are choosing Cebu as the venue for their cluster meeting because of its rich cultural and historical heritage that should be discovered by Luzon leaders.

He said that the LMP is a strategic instrument “in our continuing fight to reduce poverty, to provide adequate health care, education, housing and food security, to maintain peace and order, and to make our mayors as active partners in national development.”

But the real challenge to national development is really how to overcome the gap that was left as gaping holes in the overall economic portrait of the Philippines close on the heels of the total effort to meet the demands of recovery.

POLITICS ALSO demands of economic development consistent with the nationwide effort by the leadership to respond to the destruction brought about by calamities.

The Aboitiz Foundation itself reported that over 29,000 elementary and high school students affected by Super typhoon Yolanda in northern Cebu will soon be able to get back to the comfort of improved classrooms as its ongoing schools rehabilitation plan is on track with its target completion.

As of the end of June, overall project completion is at 66

percent for the 130 classrooms under repair and 21 percent for the 70 newly constructed classrooms in Bogo City and in San Remigio town. It is said that the rise of these schools symbolizes Visayas’ renewed hope for a better life for its children, and the future generation.

According to the Aboitiz Foundation managing trustee, the foundation and its contractor, Metaphil, have divided the schools for construction and repairs, into 12 clusters, the easier to monitor and supervise.

The Foundation hopes to turn over the project by October this year, the target month for completion, so that by November, a year after the calamity, the classrooms will be in use again.

A total of P164 million from the donations culled from the “#Bangon Yolanda” campaign is being allocated.

Official Statement on the Death of Guillo Cesar Servando THE Triskelions’ Grand Fraternity and Sorority Manitoba Regional Council, Inc., united with nine other regional councils under the TGFS Canada National Council, Inc. strongly condemn the recent death of Guillo Cesar Servando due to fraternity hazing.

Our fraternity, also known as the TAU GAMMA PHI was established in 1968 at the University of the Philippines, the premiere institution of higher learning in the country.

Since its establishment, the organization and its counterpart sorority, Tau Gamma Sigma, have distinguished themselves in campus politics and social development work.

Founded on the principles of mutual-respect and dignity of all persons, which are enshrined in our Tenets and Codes of Conduct, we believe that hazing is antithetical to these principles.

The enactment of Republic Act 8049 or the Anti-Hazing Law in 1995 prompted our national leadership in the Philippines and Alumni to adopt a “NO HAZING POLICY”. With almost 1 million members all over the world, comprising of school based, community and alumni chapters, we regret that some of our chapters have not abided by the fraternity’s “NO HAZING POLICY” thus resulting to this recent incident.

We are deeply saddened by news reports that members of TAU GAMMA PHI were responsible in the fatal hazing of Guillo Cesar Servando, an energetic youth and a good son, who before this unfortunate incident was building his dream together with his family.

We offer our deepest condolences to the family of Guillo Cesar Servando and we sincerely empathize with the grief and loss of his family as we ourselves are parents too and cannot bear to lose our sons, moreover, in a senseless manner.

We, the members of TAU GAMMA PHI in Manitoba do not condone the unnecessary loss of life arising from hazing and in support of this stand we commit ourselves to initiate a motion on the floor this coming September 27, 2014 in Vancouver, British Columbia on the occasion of TGFS Canada National Council’s 5th National Summit to call on all our members exercising leadership in their respective chapters, municipal, provincial, regional and national councils to put an end to this inhumane tradition.

We remain committed to community service and shall continue to encourage our members to contribute their time to programs that promote scholastic achievement, such as the “TRISKOLAR” scholarship program and shall continue to affirm sound values and the worth of every member working together to accomplish our goals and serve the community. We desire to make our commitment against hazing abundantly clear and fully intend for every member, the general public and the Filipino community in Manitoba in particular to be aware of the collective position of the Manitoba Triskelions’ against hazing.

As we begin our renewed commitment to the fundamental principles of brotherhood, human dignity and mutual-respect, we invite everyone to join us in prayer on Saturday, July 19, 2014 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Philippine Canadian Centre of Manitoba, 737 Keewatin St. for the eternal repose of the soul of Guillo Cesar Servando and the peace of mind and continued strength of his family to cope with his untimely demise.

ABS-CBN conquers nationwide TV viewing in June ABS-CBN, the country’s largest and leading multimedia conglomerate, maintained its leadership in nationwide TV viewing across urban and rural homes in June with an average audience share of 45%, or 13 points higher than GMA’s 32%, according to data from Kantar Media.

Kantar Media uses a nationwide panel size of 2,609 urban and rural homes that represent 100% of the total Philippine TV viewing population, while the other ratings data supplier AGB Nielsen reportedly has only 1,980 homes based solely in urban areas that represent only 57% of the Philippine TV viewing population.

The figures for June also showed that more Filipino households nationwide tuned in to ABS-CBN’s shows across all programming blocks.

ABS-CBN’s Umaganda (6AM12NN) scored an average audience share of 39%, while GMA garnered 34%. The musical game show “The Singing Bee,” which recorded an average national TV rating of 12.9%, continued to spread fun to morning viewers despite new rival “Basta Everyday Happy” (4.9%).

Its early afternoon block (12NN-3PM) obtained 40%, or eight points ahead of GMA’s 32%, while its late afternoon block (3PM-6PM) gained 42%, or nine points bigger than GMA's 33%.

The Kapamilya network continued to win the primetime block (6PM12MN) with an average audience share of 51%, or a whopping 21-point lead over GMA’s 30%.

Primetime Bida’s consistent win was driven by high caliber lineup of teleseryes including “The Legal Wife” which

concluded last June 13 with a record high national TV rating of 36.2%. “Dyesebel” and “Ikaw Lamang” alternately take the top one and two spots in the most watched programs list during weekdays. Bea Alonzo starrer “Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon,” meanwhile, premiered strong at 21.7% last June 16.

The primetime block is the most important part of the day when most Filipinos watch TV and advertisers put a larger chunk of their investment in to reach more consumers effectively.

The comeback of the ‘90s hit legal drama anthology “Ipaglaban Mo” was warmly welcomed by the viewers with an average national TV ratings of 13.8%, outplaying “GMA Tales of Horror” with 7%.

“The Voice Kids” reached its all-time high national TV rating of 37.6% last June 8. The Twitter-trending singing reality show again topped the list of the 15 most watched programs in the country in June and hit an average national TV rating of 35.6%.

Overall, 13 programs in the said list were produced by ABS-CBN including “Dyesebel” (31%), “Ikaw Lamang” (30.7%), “Maalaala Mo Kaya” (30%), “The Legal Wife” (28.8%), “Wansapanataym” (28%), “TV Patrol” (26.8%), “Rated K” (23.3%),

“Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon” (21.4%), Mirabella (19. 6%), “Home Sweetie Home” (18.8%), “Goin’ Bulilit” (18.7%), and “It’s Showtime” on Saturdays (16.5%).

Kantar Media is a leading television (TV) audience measurement provider with capabilities in gathering TV viewing data in both digital and analog platforms. It is a multina-

tional market research group that specializes in audience measurement in more than 80 countries, has 26 TV networks, ad agencies, and pan-regional networks subscribing to its ratings services.

HOROSCOPE ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19): You care about people, but right now, you are so driven by ambition you are in danger of seeing people as a means to an end. Don’t get too caught up in thinking about the ways in which they can help you.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20): Comfor t is par ticularly valued when away from home -- and that’s huge considering you’re gearing up for travel. You’ll be thrilled with your surroundings once you arrive at your destination and so delighted with your accommodations and the various other niceties of fered.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20): Because you generally rule the roost with uncontested authority, the challenge to your iron control that comes today could leave you momentarily speechless. You recover quickly enough, but you may have a bat tle of wills on your hands.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22): You likely are not feeling emotionally and physically up to it, but you will probably need to confront a personal situation today. Dodging the issue now will only stretch it out and make its effect linger, and you’d much rather put it behind you as quickly as possible.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22): You’re a natural leader, but be on guard -- don’t allow any arrogance to gain the upper hand. Pushing your weight around may get you some cooperation in the shor t term, but won’t do much to inspire long-term loyalty, much less admiration.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22): You will really begin to see some solid and gratifying results today if you’ve been working hard on a creative project -- perhaps related to home improvement or maybe an ar tistic work. Lots of ef for t goes into pulling such an under taking together, though it doesn’t look like much in the early and middle stages. Now, however, the concept is really taking shape.

Instead of being hypercritical of what you’ve done so far, keep going.

LIBR A (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22): If you’re feeling down in the dumps today, you just need to get out of bed and make something happen, regardless of your feelings. Events in the past are over and can’t be changed.

SCORPIO (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22): Others will be eager to fall into step behind you today, so make sure you have some idea of where you’re going. Fixing your sights on a destination shouldn’t be a problem, though. Your confidence is high.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV.22-DEC.21): You really want to explore your creative potential, and you feel that you need a professional’s direction. So today’s overriding concern is probably how to make that happen financially. Sure, such lessons could take a big bite out of your budget, but look at the big picture and establish some priorities. Are you willing to forego a few dinners out to move in this new direction?

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19): Get ting up in front of a crowd is easy for you today, especially since you are showered with so many good wishes before you begin.

You could be making an impor tant business presentation, speaking to a classroom of students or making a hear t felt toast at a fabulous par ty.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18): Have you been having trouble sleeping? Exhaustion is your constant companion today. Staring wide-eyed at the clock in the middle of the night is no fun and does a real number on your at titude.

If you’re keyed up over personal issues that are robbing you of sleep, perhaps it’s time to resolve them if you can.

PISCES (FEB. 19 - MAR. 20): Prepare for an impor tant upcoming meeting so you can make a meaningful contribution and help gather enough information to make an intelligent decision. You could be tasked to recommend a new hire at work, a replacement teacher at your child’s school, a board member for a volunteer organization or the holder of some other key post. Gear your questions accordingly.

Germany WAGs congratulate their men after winning

World Cup 2014 AS the German players celebrated their World Cup victory, their WAGs (wives and girlfriends) could not resist joining the on-field party at the Maracana.

A host of wives and girlfriends took to the pitch in Rio de Janeiro to congratulate their partners after they came out on

top in the biggest, most important match of their lives.

Andre Schurrle was certainly glad of the presence of girlfriend Montana Yorke as he wept into her arms. He later said: 'This is the best moment of my life. I had to cry because I was so overcome. I couldn't stop it.'

Schurrle, having created the assist that won Germany the World Cup in extra time, added: 'It was always a dream to become a world champion.

'We are so looking forward to celebrating with our fans in Berlin (on Monday).'

Khedira, suffered early disappointment when her boyfriend was forced to pull out of Germany's starting XI after injuring himself in the warm-up.

But it was better news for Sarah Brander, girlfriend of Bastian Schweinsteiger, and Mandy Capristo, partner of Arsenal man Mesut Ozil, as both midfielders started the showpiece final.

Mats Hummels' girlfriend Cathy Fischer was also spotted cheering on the Borussia

Dortmund defender for the final time in Brazil.

Ann-Kathrin Brommel and Yorke, the girlfriends of Mario Gotze and Schurrle respectively, were forced to wait for their men to enter the fray from the substitutes' bench.

US chooses 19 players for men’s basketball roster Coach Mike Krzyzewski hopes Derrick Rose's NBA comeback begins in a USA uniform.

Even if Rose isn't ready, the Americans have plenty of talent for another run at a world championship.

Rose and four returnees from the 2012 Olympic men's basketball champions were among the 19 players selectedMonday for this summer's U.S. national team roster.

Kevin Durant, Kevin Love,

James Harden and Anthony Davis were the four holdovers from London, and there were new additions of Toronto's DeMar DeRozan and Chandler Parsons, who is leaving Houston for Dallas.

Players will report to training camp this month in Las Vegas, where Rose will try to show he's recovered from his latest knee surgery. ''We'd like to see him play like the Derrick of old, because

he's one of the best players in the world, an MVP in the NBA,'' Krzyzewski said during a conference call. ''What we've heard is that he's in great shape.''

The rest of the roster: Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson (Golden State), Kyrie Irving (Cleveland), Blake Griffin (Clippers), Paul George (Indiana), Damian Lillard (Portland), Gordon Hayward (Utah), DeMarcus Cousins (Sacramento), Bradley Beal (Washington), Andre Drummond (Detroit), Kenneth Faried (Denver) and Kyle Korver (Atlanta).

USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said the roster could be trimmed to 15 after the camp in Las Vegas that begins July 28, with the final 12 selected before the Americans depart for the World Cup of Basketball in Spain in late August.

The Americans previously announced a 28-player pool in January, though it was planned that players such as twotime Olympic champions LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul would sit out this summer and perhaps come back at the 2016 Summer Games. ''To maintain the continuity, we need turnover in every competition so that players who aspire to represent the USA on the national team level have a real opportunity,'' Colangelo said.

Junmar or Japeth as Asiad flag bearer?

MANILA - With its huge following and legitimate medal hopes, Gilas Pilipinas is bound to lead the country’s charge in the 27th Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea in September.

And for this, the country’s top sports officials are thinking of tapping any of the Gilas members to act as Philippine flag bearer for the opening parade.

“We are looking at a basketball player as our flag bearer,” said Philippine Sports Commission chairman Richie Garcia yesterday.

Garcia is also chef-de-mission of the Philippine contingent to Incheon, and he can have a say on who would play the prestigious role for the country.

“I’m not sure yet but I will ask the Philippine Olympic Committee to give me a name. Anyone of them will do,” he added.

In the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, equestrian champion Mikee Cojuangco carried the

ALEX GONZAGA, YEN SANTOS TOPBILL ABS-CBN’S NEWEST ASIANOVELA ADAPTATION

“Pure Love” will define the value of life and true love star ting nex t week on TFC worldwide

THE Filipino Channel (TFC) is set to make its viewers ponder on life, relationships, and death in the upcoming romantic drama series adaptation, “Pure Love” premiering on July 7 on TFC worldwide (July 8 in Australia (Australia Eastern Standard Time [AEST]), New Zealand (New Zealand Eastern Standard Time [NZST], Guam, and Japan).

Starring Alex Gonzaga and Yen Santos, “Pure Love” is a local adaptation of the much loved 2011 Korean TV series, “49 Days,” which highlights the meaning of true love and the strong ties that bind the family, this time, the Filipino

kin. It tells the story of Diane (Gonzaga), an optimistic girl of wealthy descent who seems to have everything and Ysabel (Santos), an average working girl who leads a rather pointless life since her boyfriend died.

Diane and Ysabel’s fates entwine in an unexpected car accident that leads to Diane’s state of coma. In another sudden twist of fate, Diane’s soul is separated from her human body. Diane’s soul meets the mysterious Scheduler (Matt Evans) who tells her that she is not destined to die yet and that she will be given a second chance at life if she will

be able to complete a special task - Diane needs to gather three teardrops, shed out of pure love from three persons outside her family within a 40-day period.

To help her accomplish her task, the Scheduler gives Diane

the chance to inhabit the Ysabel’s human body. Will Diane and Ysabel succeed in bringing back their own lives back after the 40-day ordeal fate has brought them?

Directed by Veronica “Roni” Velasco and Mikey Del Rosario,

“Pure Love” will also feature Arjo Atayde, Joseph Marco, Aaron Villaflor, Yam Concepcion, and introduce Anna Luna.

Completing the cast are Sunshine Cruz, John Arcilla, Ana Capri, Bart Guingona, Dante Ponce, and Shey Bustamante.

Just now I tried to remember the next family birthday and realized that I’m not sure who comes next. And that’s why we have smartphones and message programs that send us reminders.

God has just said, in Jeremiah 29:10 “You’ll be returning home but not for 70 years”, which was good news and bad news, good because it meant they wouldn’t be in Babylon for ever but bad because 70 years is a long time to be in exile.

SEBASTIAN... 

From 13

when we expect what God has never promised, or refuse to believe what he has promised.

Years ago we sang a little chorus that said, “Every promise in the Book is mine." To which I answer yes, but not every promise means what we think it means!

Our danger with Jeremiah 29:11 is that we will quote it without considering its context.

We have all heard it said that when you hit rock bottom, there is nothing to do but look up.

Here is a message for those who have hit rock bottom. And thanks be to God, it is a message of enormous hope. As we think about this beloved verse, keep two things in mind: God will not always do what we expect him to do, but he will always do what he says he will do.

Here is the Rock Bottom Truth: God is thinking about us all the time.

“I know the thoughts that I think toward you.” God thinks about us! That may be the most important statement you’ll ever hear. The God of the universe thinks about us. He considers us, he knows us, he remembers us, he keeps us in mind.

He knows who we are and where we are. Not for one second are we ever lost or forgotten for his heart is so big and his knowledge so vast that no one ever gets lost in the shuffle.

We don’t always think about each other. We routinely get preoccupied with life and forget the people closest to us. We forget birthdays, anniversaries and graduations.

Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day slip up on us.

The truth is, most of us are better at remembering bad things. We can recall the hard times and the insults of others against us. I’ve met a few people who seem to have an infallible Grievance Meter that remembers every mean thing that anyone did to them— even the things that happened twenty years ago. Some people remember every rotten thing that ever happened to them, and they nurse their grudges for years.

Even when we do have good thoughts about each other, we tend to forget after a while.

That’s why we say “out of sight, out of mind." But God never forgets his children. Even though he has the whole world to rule, he never forgets his own.

The Hebrew text of verse 11 contains “thoughts” or “thinking” three times. God is not just saying, “I’ve got plans for you,” he’s really saying, “I have been thinking about you.” That’s much better because it is exceedingly personal.

A boss might say to an employee, “I’ve got plans for you,” which might be a lot more work, but if the boss says, “I’ve been thinking about you,” that means something else entirely.

The Jews really needed to know this because they were [banish] in exile in Babylon, far from home, carried away against their will, held against their will, under the absolute power of the Babylonian king, and able to do only what he permitted them to do.

And God says, “You think I’ve forgotten about you. You know that you are here because you forgot me, and it’s true that I am punishing you for your disregard of my commands, but my punishment does not diminish my affection for you. You are forever in my thoughts. You are still my people. I have not forgotten you.”

I find great comfort in the following truth: God knows what he is thinking even when we don’t. Many times I have said, “Lord, what are you doing? Why is this happening?”

So much of life makes no sense.

The good and the bad, the happy and the sad, it all gets jumbled together with apparently no rhyme or reason, and even if I say to myself, “God has a plan,” it’s rarely clear to me.

But God knows what he is thinking even when his thoughts are hidden from me.

We know so little.

We understand so little.

We have so many questions.

But this much is clear: God is thinking about us—always.

GMA News TV’s BRIGADA Wins One World Award in the 2014 US International Film & Video Festival

GMA News TV’s Brigada won the One World Award in the US International Film & Video Festival in addition to its Gold Camera Award finish at the same Festival. Brigada’s winning entry was entitled “Gintong Krudo” (Black Gold), a documentary to raise awareness for the estimated 5.5 million Filipino children considered child laborers. This is the first time the prestigious One World Award has been given to a Philippine TV network.

The One World Award was established more than 25 years ago by the International Quorum of Motion Pictures Producers to honor a work that fosters international understanding.

USIFVF medalists and certificate holders are all in the running for the One World Award, one of the grand prizes given at the Festival.

Brigada’s One World Award winning documentary tells the

LAMOUREUX...

story of 12-year old Bisaya, who goes out to sea every morning with his friends, 11year old Christian and 13-year old Ruben, to salvage crude oil dumped on the water by ships.

When they find patches of oil spill, they dive in and collect the oil with a sponge, risking their health for about a dollar per pail of oil. Micaela Papa, who reported the story, went as far as joining the children in the murky water to collect crude oil. Brigada is hosted by Jessica Soho, with Lee Joseph Castel as Program Manager and Harvey Bayona as Executive Producer.

Brigada was one of eight winning works for GMA Network at the US International Film and Video Festival – which included a Gold Award for Wagas, Silver Awards for State of the Nation with Jessica Soho, two episodes of Reel Time, Reporter’s Notebook and Front

Row and a certificate for creative excellence for Picture Picture.

Brigada's Gintong Krudo segment also won a Silver World Medal in the 2014 New York Festivals, and was a Final-

As Europeans were welcomed by the boat loads at Canada's Atlantic coast years prior to 1914, back in May of 1914 a small boat tried to dock in Vancouver. Racist policies at the time prevented the boat from ever docking and the 300 plus Sikh faith passengers were forced to return to India.

The passengers were never allowed off the boat (it was not a modern day boat).

many might think. Back in 1994 for 100 days of absolute horror, tens of thousands of people were cut and bled to death with many beaten up, raped just prior to being put to death.

Many people are aware of this genocide because of two popular movies, "Shake Hands with the Devil" and "Hotel Rwanda". These movies were based on events that actually took place in Rwanda where hundreds of thousands of people from one ethnic group (Tutsi) were brutally butchered with large cleavers and knives.

The victims’ only crime was the fact that they were Tutsi and,

Retirement is generally the last thing on your mind. However, the sooner you star t planning for your financial future, the bet ter it will be. That head star t can translate into thousands and thousands of dollars.
