GoyMon SPEAKS!

One thing is for sure, failures always come our way. Every time we stand after signifies the maturity that envelops our soul. The process could make or break us, but it actually depends on how we perceive things to be. Before, I used to say "don't rain on my parade." Now, I always say "Rain and pour hard, I've got an umbrella, and I am ready- Serbisyong Totoo ng GMA News!" You may laugh or smile b

ecause my personality is just like that, but for me, I am doing and plotting all the dotted lines of my life. You can't see the pictures now, I am seeing it clearly. Inspiration moves me to see it as early, but you wait for it to be finished. A crisp and clear picture with vibrant colors will show to the world how successful I am. And I am claiming it. God will give it to me.

Happy Women's Month! : )

Unlike the older days, women of today are more empowered, based on my perspective. They are actually enjoying privileges that were impossible for them to attain during those times. But still, there are issues that need to be addressed. There are still strong clamor to prosper and push GENDER EQUALITY into a REALITY. Big isssue as it seems, but just like our alphabet, the solution is as easy as ABC.

Mama and Gian

My Mom, Evelyn and Gian : )

1. ACKNOWLEDGE - All of us are created equal. Not one specie is superior to the other. Just like that, men and women have different issues and conflict that are experiencing. Therefore, we must ACKNOWLEDGE that we have different perspective and solutions to the conflict that need to be addressed. Respecting each other's opinion and rights denounces all the conflict. 

My super Tita Mary Ann and Gian : )

Nanay Gloria with my cousins :) 

Ate Margie and Kenneth

2. BELIEVE - Believe in the power that you can do all great things, whether you are a MAN or a WOMAN. God created all of us equal, with unique talents and skills. We must know ours, and make it a point that you will use the God-given gift not only for ourselves, but also for the benefit of others. Share. Helping others is a way of life. BELIEVE in yourself. You can do it.

MY BEAUTIFUL COUSINS 

(Good thing that I am not mentioning their nicknames, have pet names for most of them; )

Hazel

Rachelle Anne

Zyreene Gayle (the future Miss Universe :) 

3. CARE - It's good that you care about your family, your loved one's, other people. But, most importantly, you need to take CARE of yourself. It is important for us to know that even we are binded by relationships, we still need to find time to focus on ourselves and respect each other's individuality.

Amethyst - my hipag! (Shainette's Mom!)

Althea Shainette - my niece : )

Women of today are more versatile. They can do things that were stereotyped for men alone. They are successful in their chosen field - from being a respected public official; high-ranked employee; top-caliber artists up to the humblest yet very rewarding profession of being a mother - women now are progressive.

Let us find time to celebrate with them, not only during this month, but everyday. Take time to thank all of the women that plays important role in your lives - you mother, grandma, aunt, sister, cousins and nieces- from your teachers, mentors, employers and your friends. Happy Women's Month to all of you!

My FRIENDS and EVERYTHING!

Bagong Henerasyon

MISSION: To achieve a healthy, educated, prosperous and empowered citizenry.

VISION: To lead the fight against sickness, ignorance, poverty, and indifference by empowering individuals with knowledge and skills.

Bagong Henerasyon Partylist:
Ang Partylist ng Kabataan, Kababaihan, at Sambayanan

Nagsimula ang BAGONG HENERASYON bilang isang NGO noong 2001, at naging Foundation noong 2003. Mula sa hanay ng kababaihan at kabataan ang mga pinuno nito, at sa taglay na kagustuhang makatulong sa kanilang sektor at sa mga maralita, madaling nabuo ang
BAGONG HENERASYON. Mula sa mga batayang ito at inspirasyon hinango ang pangalang BAGONG HENERASYON – henerasyong binubuo ng mahigit kalahati ng populasyong Pilipino; henerasyong may responsibilidad sa pagkalinga ng lipunan at pamahalaan; henerasyon kung saan nakasalalay ang pag-asa at kinabukasan ng bayan.

Mula noon, malayo na ang narating ng BAGONG HENERASYON. Sa ngayon, nasa halos 200,000 na ang mga indibidwal na direktang natulungan ng BAGONG HENERASYON sa pamamagitan ng iba’t-ibang proyekto, programa, at inisyatiba nito.

Baguhan man sa larangan ng pulitika, mayaman naman sa karanasan ang
BAGONG HENERASYON. Bagito man sa larangan ng halalan, beterano naman sa
paglilingkod sa mamayanan ang BAGONG HENERASYON.

Bisyon at Misyon

Pangarap ng BAGONG HENERASYON ang sambayanang malusog, may kaalaman, masagana, at may angking lakas. Isang lipunang mabilis na sumusulong para sa kaunlaran, kasabay ng kalusugan, edukasyon, kabuhayan, at pagpapalakas ng mamamayan.

Ang misyon ng BAGONG HENERASYON ay ang manguna sa pakikibaka sa lahat ng uri ng sakit at karamdaman, kamangmangan, kahirapan, at pagkawatak-watak o pagkakanya-kanya ng mamamayan.

I love you!

Happy Birthday Congresswoman BH!

The author wishes to express his greetings to the woman behind Bagong Henerasyon (BH) Partylist, Congresswoman Bernadette Herrera-Dy.

Congresswoman Bernadette (BH) Herrera-Dy, Bagong Henerasyon Partylist

From her humble beginnings, Cong. BH (as she is fondly called) started to envision on ways to help other people, especially the women, underprivileged and the youth. In 2003, she started forming a Non-Government Organization (NGO) which is called Bagong Henerasyon Foundation. The organization grew up because of its continued principle to help. It was awarded by the World Bank in 2005 because of its pilot project Computer-on-Wheels which aims to bring technology to all. Now, because of its great impact and success, several politician-leaders adopted the project.

Computer-on-Wheels

After serving three consecutive terms in Quezon City Council, BH dreamed bigger because she wants to help more people in a larger scale. Armed with this dream and prayer, Bagong Henerasyon Partylist won a seat in Congress last May 2010 Elections. With its battle cry, Partylist ng Kabataan, Kababaihan at Sambayanan (Partylist of the Youth, Women and Citizen), the partylist continued its program, now bigger and larger in scope. Aside from regular projects and training programs in QC, the partylist thru BigHands and Skilltech Foundation also conducted its program in Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Rizal, Kalibo and other Metro Manila cities such as Manila, Marikina, Pasig, Mandaluyong, Caloocan and Paranaque. BH still aims more. More projects, more venues, more people to help.

BH has the following programs: Wellness Massage, Finishing Course for Call Center Agents, Food and Beverage Services, BARISTA, Computer Literacy, English Proficiency and more. To have a complete detail about its programs, you can reach them thru facebook account Bagong Henerasyon Partylist or call 9866714 or 4132434.

Philippine Transport System; Where to go?

Transportation sometimes indicates how wealthy a nation is. The system, the modes and the techniques that are used depend on how creative and advance a country can be.

In the Philippines, jeepneys are considered as the King of the Road. Even until now, you can see, from the urban and rural areas, they are present. Students prefer those with metallic design at the back and with loud sound. They call it HATAW. Of course the classic design is still there, with design horses at the bumpers, antennas and colorful drawings. You can also tell if the person that owns it worked abroad. You can see names or phrases such as "Katas ng Saudi" (Fruit of Saudi, the owner worked there for years). The Americans leave their jeep here way back in 50's . After, Filipino minds creatively re-designed it for mass transportation purposes. Thus, Philippine jeepneys, the King of Philippine Road came into existence. One proud brand is SARAO.

Typical Filipino Jeep

Thru the years, because of the growing population, the Philippine government find ways in order to improve the transportation system. In 70's, construction of the first elevated train in the Philippines started called LRT or Light Rail Transit which runs from Monumento in Caloocan City to Baclaran in Paranaque City.

Improved LRT Cab

If you are traveling along the country's busiest road locally called as EDSA, your trip is not complete without having a ride in MRT. Running from North Ave in Quezon City to Taft Ave in Pasay City, this mass transit system caters to about million passengers everyday.

MRT Line 2

I was inspired to write about this topic because of my experience this morning. On my way to Paranaque, I opted to use MRT because it really cuts the traveling time since I am from QC. Eventhough I know that you have to expect piles of people making their way up, I am still surprised and maybe stressed. Everyday, the scenario is like this.

Passengers pile on their way to MRT

I just wonder, what if we have enough trains to cater to this people? What if we can upgrade the system by applying every possibilities to accommodate all passengers? If we have plans, when can it be attained?

I hope that authorities find way. It will be a big help. If we achieved that maybe we can smile like Ms. Anne Curtis when she opted to ride and use MRT.
