Community built environment The link between our built environment and its effect on our ability to make healthy choices is so important: By choosing to design a significant street in our community with bike lanes, our built environment will provide more opportunities for physical activity and connectivity. Everyone in the community has the power to advocate for healthy changes to be made to our built environment, and the way we support cyclists, business owners, pedestrians, parents, and all others who hope, advocate, and practice initiatives to better their community. Encouraging safe roads, sidewalks, and having promotion events, workshops to teach people who are unsure about incorporating new activities and infrastructures are all beneficial efforts that will help the built environment of our community. In order for our efforts to be effective in influencing the behaviors of our youth and improving their well-being, we have to look at the village that raises them. This includes not only shaping positive adult role models who exemplify healthy behaviors, but, taking a critical look at our built environment. The built environment is the man-made space in which we live, learn, work, and play. It consists of roads, sidewalks, schools, workplaces, houses, parks, and much more. Over time, our built environment has evolved to favor convenience. I mean, we pretty much automated close to nearly
everything: We have apps on our phones to control the HVAC and lights around the house, a remote control for the TV and stereo, ride-on lawn mowers, and we’ve automated tasks like washing the dishes and laundry. As advances in technology are made, physical activity is often engineered out of our daily lives. While I don’t necessarily want to go back to doing laundry by hand (although I believe my grandmother still does it) — there are areas in our built environment where we should be vigilant about making sure it is easy and safe to be active. When we leave our homes, the default option in most cases is to hop into our cars. Many neighborhoods have been designed as residential only, rather than mixed-use with homes
and a variety of destinations like grocery stores, banks, schools, or restaurants within walking or biking distances. If you are lucky enough to live in a mixed-use neighborhood, often times there is either no sidewalk, unsafe places to cross the street or a lack of bike lanes. If we do have infrastructure, we fear using it because we live in a culture where the typical car will speed up when they approach the crosswalk if a bike is taking up too much space. Despite our best intentions, many of default to using a car than being active (walking, biking, etc.) to get from Point A to Point B. We can all be involved in building a community environment that creates opportunities for people of all ages to be active, healthy,
and live a well-rounded life. When decisions are made at the municipal or county level about how we design our roads, our downtowns and our neighborhoods, we are making a decision about the health of our residents — my family and your family. Therefore, I urge you, my fellow community members to remain active in what is going on at the federal, state, and especially the county level. You do not have to watch, attend, and participate in every single meeting, but, be aware of the decisions that public officials are making for all of us and keep informed. After all, our community is for all the people and not just the people who make the rules.

Our cover features the six awardees who will be honored by the Filipino Community Center during its Bayanihan Gala on October 14, 2016 at the Sheraton Hotel. The event starts at 5:00 pm with cocktails and the actual program commencing at 6:30 pm. The awardees are: L to R : Domingo Los Banos. Jeff Watanabe, Lynn Watanabe, Maggie Domingo, Amy Agbayani and Tim Johns. Mahalo to Filcom Center for providing the photo of the Center and the awardees. Cover concept by Noah Felipe of Orig Media. Mahalo to Jeff Orig of Orig Media. Both Noah and Jeff may be reached at www.Origmedia.com or by calling 808 447-9559
Avelino “AJ” Halagao normally speaks with the cadence of a lawyer, with even measured tones and wellchosen language. But when he describes his activities with the Filipino Community Center, where he sits on its board, he gets pretty excited and enthused, offering insights and information in quick delivery; the fulfillment he receives in serving, is quite apparent in his voice. He may have reason to be passionate about the cause. Halagao is the Chair of the 2016 Bayanihan Gala and the driving force
behind this year’s fundraiser which traditionally brings in the largest source of revenues for the Center. The monies raised are very critical to the Center’s existence, as they help fund programs that support the cultural, health, or social well-being of our community. The event is usually held in October as part of the festivities in commemoration of Filipino History month, which is celebrated in many
Filipino enclaves throughout the United States. This year, the Bayanihan Gala is scheduled on Friday, October 14, 2016 at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel and the evening starts with cocktails at 5 pm with the program commencing at 6:30 p.m. The occasion is usually a well-attended gathering which draws hundreds from the business and civic sectors. A staunch band of volunteers have
Avelino “AJ” Halagao
Donnie Juan
been working hard for the last six months in putting the details together, and they all feel a connection to Filcom’s prevailing spirit of bayanihan. “Bayanihan”, as a concept, is a Filipino value that brings to mind, the spirit of “communal unity, work and cooperation to achieve a particular goal.” The root word is “bayan” which means “nation, town or community,” and it is a word that most immigrant Filipinos feel an affinity to, because it reminds them of “home.” “In a way, the word “bayanihan” really evokes the spirit of service,” Halagao explained, “Each of our honorees have devoted his or her life to making our community better with their advocacy, their acts of service, their support. They are role models to our young people, worthy of emulation.” It is a theme that is echoed by
THE FIL-AM COURIER • SEPTEMBER 16 - 30, 2016 • PAGE 5
Dr. Amefil “Amy” Agbayani
Filcom Executive Director Donnie Juan: “The Center is thrilled to honor these pillars in our community. They embody the bayanihan spirit of working together toward a common purpose. They represent everything that is good in our society and give our entire community hope.” Halagao admits it was not difficult to choose the honorees since they also have been icons of inspiration for him and for others. He rattled off the reasons why as he enumerated the names one by one. “It was inspired thought, I guess, and I first came up with the names of people that I knew were so deserving of the recognition. I was a little
Jeffrey Watanabe
challenged by how I would tie them all together with a title, and thankfully, my wife, Patricia, came up with “Exceptional Acts of Service” — and that title was so appropriate.” “When you look into the backgrounds of our honorees, you will admire how they have given so much of themselves despite their busy daily lives, they have devoted time, money and energy into their passion for service, and they continue to show us how giving to others is a reward unto itself,” Halagao added. On the night of the Bayanihan Gala, the Filcom will be recognizing six men and women and the list is virtually a Who’s who of the movers and shakers in the local mileau.
Dr. Amefil “Amy” Agbayani is “Manang Amy” to many Filipino students who have gone to the University of Hawai`i where she had been a faculty member for the past forty years. She will be retiring from UH this year, having served as Assistant Vice Chancellor for Student Diversity and Director of Student Equity, Excellence and Diversity (SEED). Born in the Philippines, Agbayani never forgot her immigrant roots and the challenges of trying to forge a new life in a new land. In fact, one of Agbayani’s lasting legacy is as co-founder of Operation Manong, a successful university program which had provided support for many immigrant Filipino students. Ever
Maggie Domingo
the tireless advocate, she is today still active in many other issues and continues to fight for those needing a voice, whether it be other immigrants, African-Americans, Pacific Islanders and other underrepresented groups, women, LBGT students with disabilities, pre-school children—you name it, Agbayani often takes the cudgels on their behalf. Jeffrey Watanabe has devoted 25 years of his life supporting the mission of Consuelo Foundation which is serving the poorest of the poor in the Philippines and Hawaii. As a member of Consuelo Foundation’s board of directors, also serving as its Chair for more
than 20 years, Watanabe often visits the Philippine countryside to check on the status of projects and the impact of these projects in people’s lives. In 2013, under Watanabe’s leadership, the Foundation allocated $3 million for a project that sought to help communities affected by Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. Dubbed, “Project H.O.P.E”, the effort continues to rebuild people’s lives in the aftermath of the strongest storm ever to make landfall. Watanabe is a well-known attorney in town and is the retired founding partner of the Watanabe Ing LLP Law firm. He also sits as the chairman of the board at Hawaiian Electric Industries (HEI).

Tim E. Johns
Maggie Domingo’s voice dominated the KNDI airwaves for more than fifty years before she retired a few years ago. KNDI, a multi-ethnic radio station had a strong following amongst the Filipino audiences and Domingo was one of its shining stars. Her program, which started at 4 am, usually woke up the laborers, the Nanas and Tatas, and those who were getting ready to work in Hawai‘i’s plantation fields. She was their source of information for news about the Motherland, and a touchstone of comfort as they often suffered from homesickness. Throughout her fifty years in radio, Domingo admitted that she never missed her program
Lynn Watanabe
unless she was sick or out of town. The term “community” was something Domingo did not take lightly. She was the first female president of the United Filipino council of Hawaii and for twenty years, was the President of the Philippine Cultural Foundation. Throughout her tenure, the Foundation honored outstanding students, promoted education, raised scholarship funds and perpetuated Philippine heritage and culture. Today, Domingo is considered the beloved matriarch of the Filipino community in Hawai‘i. Tim E. Johns, Esq. was a Vice President of AmFac in the 80s, when he was approached by Filipino
Domingo Los Banos
community leaders about the idea of the company donating land to build the Filipino Community center. Johns championed the idea and in due time, two acres of land next to the old Oahu Sugar Mill in Waipahu became the site of the Center which continues to be a gathering place for our community. Johns also serves on the board of Consuelo Foundation which “supports and operates programs that prevent and treat abuse, neglect and the exploitation of children, women and families in Hawai`i and the Philippines. Johns currently holds the role of Executive Vice President and Chief Consumer Officer at HMSA.
Lynn Watanabe is one of the
most devoted volunteers, whether it be for the Aloha Medical Mission, Child and Family Service Philippines or other charitable institutions that she wholeheartedly supports. For many years, Watanabe has served on the board of Aloha Medical Mission, a group that has sent hundreds of medical personnel and equipment to far flung areas in the Philippines and other developing countries to conduct free clinics for indigent patients in those communities. The Philippines has been a cornerstone of her voluntary activities and it has propelled her to help organize the Child and Family Service Guild about thirty years ago. That institution was instrumental in starting the Baguiobased Child and Family Service Philippines, which had received many awards for its innovative programs aimed at helping children and women achieve their full potential by living in safe environment, nurtured by caring families and communities. Today, Watanabe continues her advocacy by currently chairing the Board of Directors for Child and Family Service Philippines.
Domingo Los Banos’ war
stories were showcased in a PBS documentary, “An Untold Triumph, America’s Filipino Soldiers,” which brought to light the heroism of the U.S. Army’s 1st Filipino Infantry regiment during World War II. Los Banos was only a teenager when he enlisted in 1944 and was promptly sent to the Philippines where his unit was deployed by General Douglas MacArthur in the march to retake the Philippines. It was said that Los Banos made a vow then, that if he survived the war, he would dedicate his life to teaching the next generation about peace and understanding. He had lived his life fulfilling that promise as a teacher, coach, principal and school superintendent and his efforts were capped by some of his career highlights: He was the first Filipino principal and district superintendent in Hawai`i. Today, Los Banos continues to fulfill his promise by sharing his inspiring stories with others. In addition to these six individuals, the Filcom Center will also recognize its successful partnerships with three foremost Filipino organizations, namely the United Filipino Community Council (UFCH), the Congress of Visayan Organizations (COVO) and the Oahu
THE FIL-AM COURIER • SEPTEMBER 16 - 30, 2016 • PAGE 7
Filipino Community Council (OFCC). The leadership of these organizations usually sits as a non-voting member of the Filcom Board. Edmund Aczon, Chair of the Filcom Center, lauded these organizations for their support of the Center and its various programs: “These most established organizations exemplify the bayanihan spirit of communal unity.” Maria Etrata will accept the award on behalf of UFCH, May Mizuno will go on stage for COVO while Alex Vergara will receive the certificate on behalf of OFCC. The October 14th event promises to be an entertaining evening as well and will be anchored by the guest performance of Kristian Lei, who will be singing selections from Miss Saigon, the King and I, Once on this Island, and the Festival of the Lion King. The talented singer is the founder of the nonprofit, Honolulu Broadway Babies. The community is stepping up to the challenge of providing much needed funding. The list of sponsors include Alexander & Baldwin, American Savings Bank, Bank of Hawaii, Blue Water Resources, Case Management Professionals, Central Pacific Bank, Consuelo Foundation, First Hawaiian Bank, Hawaiian Airlines, Hawaii Construction Alliance, Hawaiian Electric Company, Hawaii Regional Council of Carpenters, HEI, HMSA, Honolulu Star-Advertiser, Island Insurance Companies, Kaiser Permanente, L&L Hawaiian Barbecue, Matson, and the Mills Group.

It was after all, the collective dream of the Filipino community which had by then settled in Hawaii for more than a hundred years and who wanted to memorialize their presence with a structure. Entrepreneurs Roland Casamina and Eddie Flores took that idea and made the dream into reality with the help of hundreds of volunteers as well as supportive government and business sectors. Today, the Center is a gathering place for many events, from family parties to political fundraisers to karate competitions to Philippine festivals. It connects people to their roots and to one another, in the true spirit of bayanihan. In truth, the Center is more than a building. It has become a symbol of Filipino pride. It is a mark of what our
united efforts, sprinkled with Filipino values of hard work and respect for our past and our heritage and blessed by the Divine Being, can truly achieve. The Center needs our support. For sponsorship opportunities,

KNDI Radio, the oldest Filipino radio station in Hawaii and Filam Courier, the oldest Filipino newspaper in the State will soon launch a new radio program called, “The Fil-Am Courier Community Hour.” The program, which will air from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm during every first Sunday of every month on KNDI 1270 radio, aims to connect Filipinos all over the world since the radio’s reach has become global. The format will include community events, interviews with Courier’s cover story subjects, and global connection where Filipino community leaders share the latest happenings in their neighborhood.

October is Filipino American History Month and Tinalak would like to honor this special time of year by showcasing the richness of curriculum, books, and networking on Filipinos that are available for educators, families, and the community. Books and curriculum in English and Philippine languages will be available for review or purchase. The event will include book readings, guest speakers, food, and opportunities to meet many of the authors themselves. With Filipinos comprising 25% of Hawaii’s population and 21% of all K-12 public school students in the state, we hope this event will be an opportunity for people to find enriching materials that they can incorporate into educational settings, homes, or other areas to engage Filipino students that are often underrepresented in books and curriculum.

HEALING TOUCH by JORDAN SEGUNDO
There is no denying that a massage is calming. Massage therapy isn’t just a way to relax, it’s also a way to alleviate muscle soreness after exercise and improve blood flow. For thousands of years, massage has been used as a healing tool in many cultures. Think of the last time you accidently bumped your head. What did you do? You rubbed it, right? The same was true of our earliest ancestors. Healers throughout time and throughout the world have instinctually and independently developed a wide array of therapeutic techniques using touch to heal and comfort. Now after years of research, there is scientific proof of the benefits of massage benefits ranging from treating chronic diseases and injuries to alleviating the growing tensions of our modern lifestyles. Having a massage does more than just relax your body and mind – Here are a few good reasons to getting that massage: • Increases circulation, allowing the body to pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs. • Stimulates the flow of lymph, the body’s natural defense system, against toxic invaders. For example, in breast cancer patients, massage has been shown to increase the cells that fight cancer. • Relaxes and softens injured and overused muscles. • Reduces spasms and cramping and increases joint flexibility. • Reduces recovery time, helps prepare for strenuous workouts and eliminates subsequent pains of the athlete at any level. • Releases endorphins - the body’s natural painkiller - and is being used in chronic illness, injury and recovery from surgery to control and relieve pain. • Reduces post-surgery adhesions and edema and can be used to reduce and realign scar tissue after healing has occurred. • Improves range-of-motion and decreases discomfort for patients with low back pain. • Relieves pain for migraine sufferers and decreases the need for medication. • Provides exercise and stretching for atrophied muscles and reduces shortening of the muscles for those with restricted range of motion

Shopping hours are 10 a.m. – 11 p.m.
ACAI BOWLS
Acai is a purple berrylike fruit of a palm tree native to Central and South America. It’s packed with antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids. Acai bowls are a healthy and delicious treat anytime of the day.
INGREDIENTS Two 4-ounce packets unsweetened frozen acai puree 1 medium banana 1/2 cup blueberries 1 tablespoon honey 3 tablespoons granola 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
DIRECTIONS Break the frozen acai up a little by slapping the sealed packets on the countertop or hitting them with a meat mallet. Blend the berries with 1/2 the banana, 1/4 cup of the blueberries and the honey in the blender, stopping to stir and break up the mixture as needed, until it’s the consistency of a thick smoothie; transfer to a cereal bowl. Slice the remaining 1/2 banana. Arrange the slices, the remaining 1/4 cup blueberries, granola, and coconut flakes in neat piles or rows on top of the acai.

On June 25, 2016, the Filipino-American Maharlika Association (FAMAS) held its first installation of its founding officers at the Tapa Ballroom of the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel. Leading this newly-formed organization are President Romeo Garcia; 1st Vice President Raymond Sebastian; 2nd Vice President Reynaldo Pineda; Secretary Menchie Garcia; Assistant Secretary Charles Domingo; Treasurer Cathy Llonillo; Assistant Treasurer Cathy Domingo; Auditor Helen Toledo; Assistant Auditor Mary Ann
Alimbuyao; Business Managers Aurora Acidera and Fely Wayfield; Public Relations Officers Novie Hartwell, Evangeline Garcia, and Eithan Felicitas; Sergeant-atArms Bo Nardi, Clayford Giron, and Anselmo Acidera; Event Coordinator Lawrence Patricio; and Board of Directors Palm Pacquing, Eric San Diego, Trina Sanga, Froebel Garcia, Jun Suela, and Paul Alimbuyao.

FAMAS made history on June 25, 2016, by hosting its first Miss Maharlika USA 2016 pageant of Transgender Filipino Americans in Hawaii. Six contestants Chanelle Yadao, Ryan Villanueva, Aldrich Keith Fernando, Audrey Ella Castillo, Elmera Prieto, and Jhara Cablingan Ong – who competed in what to me was one of the most elaborate and exciting pageants I have ever attended. As in other pageants, the contestants competed in talent, evening gown, speech, costume, and swimsuit competition to be crowned as the first Miss Maharlika USA queen. Winning the title was Chanelle Yadao; the 1st runner-up went to Jhara Cablingan Ong, and the 2nd runner-up was Audrey Ella Castillo.

By Dr. Alfred Sison
Whether excessive or realistic, worry is seldom a productive endeavor. First, worry tends to involve uncontrolled mental activity. That is, we do it even at times when we would rather not. Secondly, worry involves emotional distress that serves as an obstacle to good problem-solving. Rather than thinking clearly about the problem and generating realistic solutions, we tend to focus only on how bad the situation is when we worry. Thirdly, worry uses a great deal of physical and mental energy without anything being accomplished. Worry does not push us toward productive behavior, but only toward more and more worry. People are said to worry when they repeatedly think negative thoughts before anything happens, expect the worst, and tell themselves that they won’t be able to cope (and there is no real reason to think this). This kind of thinking can trigger physiological arousal discussed above. Common worry themes include: • Concerns about your health and the health of others for whom you care. • Concerns that your family and friends are safe and your relationships with them are going well (e.g., you are making others happy, others are happy with you). • Concerns about your occupation (or school), such as completing tasks on time, your co-workers
and superiors like you and are satisfied with your performance, not making mistakes, etc. • Concerns that financial matters are in order, and that nothing will happen in the future to disrupt your financial stability. • General concerns about daily life problems, such as having interpersonal problems with others, traffic, completing day-today activities, etc. Although many people worry about these things from time to time, chronic worriers tend to worry about these concerns more often than the average person, and often have difficulty stopping worrying. In addition, they tend to have the following beliefs that contribute to the tendency to worry: • You have to be perfect in every aspect of your life.
• Worrying means that you are being responsible, as it is irresponsible not to attend to negative possibilities. • Worrying is a way to gain control and prevent negative things from happening. • Worrying is a sign that I am going crazy or there is something wrong with me, which causes me to worry even more. So what now? Well knowledge is power and I would like to recommend a great book by Dale Carnegie entitled “How to stop worrying and start living.” His big ideas from the book can be summed up in a few words: 1. Worry does no good “Seventy per cent of all patients who come to physicians could cure themselves if they got rid of their fears and worries.” 2. Be Willing to Have it so “Professor William James, the father of applied psychology, has been dead since 1910. But if he were alive today, and could hear this formula for facing the worst, he would heartily approve of it. How do I know that? Because he told his own students: ‘Be willing to have it so… Be willing to have it so,’ he said, because ‘…acceptance of what has happened is the first step in overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.” 3. Decide and just do it 4. Don’t Cry - “Some readers are going to snort at the idea of making so much over a hackneyed proverb like ‘Don’t cry over spilt milk.’ I know it is
trite, commonplace, a platitude. I know you have heard it a thousand times. But I also know that these hackneyed proverbs contain the very essence of the distilled wisdom of all ages. They have come out of the fiery experience of the human race and have been handed down through countless generations. If you were to read everything that has ever been written about worry by the great scholars of all time, you would never read anything more basic or more profound than such hackneyed proverbs as ‘Don’t cross your bridges until you come to them’ and ‘Don’t cry over spilt milk.’ If we only applied those two proverbs — instead of snorting at them — we wouldn’t need this book at all. In fact, if we applied most of the old proverbs, we would lead almost perfect lives. However, knowledge isn’t power until it is applied; and the purpose of this book is to remind you of what you already know and to kick you in the shins and inspire you to do something about applying it.” 5. Rest before you get tired-” So, to prevent fatigue and worry, the first rule is: Rest often. Rest before you get tired.” 6. Other people aren’t really thinking about you -”I realize now that people are not thinking about you and me or caring what is said about us. They are thinking about themselves— before breakfast, after breakfast, and right on until ten minutes past midnight. They would be a thousand times more concerned about a slight headache of their
own than they would about the news of your death or mine.” 7. Get Busy! No leisure to be miserable. – “George Bernard Shaw was right. He summed it all up when he said: ‘The secret of being miserable is to have the leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not.’ So don’t bother to think about it! Spit on your hands and get busy. Your blood will start circulating; your mind will start ticking—and pretty soon this whole positive upsurge of life in your body will drive worry from your mind. Get busy. Keep busy. It’s the cheapest kind of medicine there is on this earth—and one of the best.” If you make time for worry, you won’t have time to realize the present is a present.

The natural aging process and lifestyle choices can greatly affect your eyes. The American Academy of Ophthalmology states that “one in six Americans age 65 and older have a vision impairment that cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses.”September is designated Healthy Aging Month by the Academy to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of vision loss and the preventative measures that can help protect your eyes.
Some of the most common eye diseases that increase in risk as you age include: • Cataracts—clouding of the eye’s lens, which distorts light required for the retina to
process images and results in worsening vision over time • Glaucoma—damage to the optic nerve due to buildup in pressure inside the eye
• Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)— deterioration of the macula (the retina’s small, central area responsible for clear vision) as a result of protein deposits or abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina • Diabetic retinopathy— damage to the retina’s blood vessels, creating abnormal swelling and bleeding that can affect vision over time Early detection is always key, so it’s importantto get your vision checked regularly. Many agerelated eye diseases have no noticeable symptoms until severe damage has already been done. If you are 40 and over, you should have a comprehensive dilated eye exam every two to three years from your eye care professional. If you are 60 and over or have diabetes, you should get an eye exam once a year. Lifestyle choices you make can also have a major impact on your vision. There are small things you can do that can make a big difference for your eyes:
• Eating “eye” foods low in fat and high in antioxidants (such as leafy green vegetables, citrus fruits and fish) as part of a healthy, balanced diet • Staying active and exercising regularly, which helps you maintain a healthy weight and lowers your risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol • Refraining from smoking because studies have shown it greatly increases your risk of developing many eye diseases • Wearing sunglasses labeled “100% protection” or “UV 400” whenever you are outside to protect your eyes from damaging UV rays Maintaining healthy eyes as you age can be accomplished with a just little effort. To learn more about keeping your vision intact as you get older, visit AAO.org and HawaiianEye.com.
Dr. Christopher Tortora, a board certified ophthalmologist, is host of “The Hawaiian Eye Show,” a weekly informational radio program about healthy vision broadcast live every Saturday at 8 a.m. on KHVH 830 AM/rebroadcast at 9 p.m. on KHBZ 990 AM. He and his colleagues at the Hawaiian Eye Center are committed to educating the public about the importance of preventative eye care. To learn more about a variety of eye health issues, please call the Hawaiian Eye Center at 621-8448 or visit www.HawaiianEye.com and www.
