20 years of service to the community
|
Time flies.
Exactly 20 years ago this month, The SUN shone for the Filipinos in Hong Kong. It was
the fulfillment of a dream that took shape years earlier, or shortly after I arrived here in 1987 and
realized there was no reliable information channel serving the community.
But turning that dream into reality proved to be difficult. Several people offered to fund
the publication of a news-paper, but everyone wanted a business model different from what we had
in mind.

Pagpapabaya

Nitong nakaraang buwan ay naging saksi tayo sa nangyari kay Manang Gloria Ortinez,
ang OFW na biktima ng tanim-bala sa Manila airport. Halos buong araw kasi ay naglagi siya sa
opisina ng The SUN, kasama ang mga naghatid sa kanya na sina Susan "Toots" Ople na tagataguyod ng
mga OFW, at ang abogado niyang si Atty Spocky Farolan, kaya nasaksihan namin siya nang malapitan.

Nanay Gloria's journey to HK

President Benigno Simeon Aquino III recently told the media that cases of tanim-bala
were sensationalized, citing figures to prove his point. As an OFW advocate, I respectfully
disagree. Looking at this from a purely numbers perspective could lead one to overlook the deep trauma
that such incidents have caused its innocent victims.
Had he met and spoken to 56-year old OFW Gloria Ortinez, our President would have
learned the following:

Staff and volunteers at the Mission for Migrant Workers had reason to celebrate when
they launched the non-government organization's 10-year Impact Evaluation Report at Li Hall of St
John's Cathedral on Dec. 4. Nearly all, or 97% of migrants who sought assistance said that they were
helped by the Mission, and more than half of them (57%) said they would recommend the NGO to others.

After digging 50 feet deep last year, Mexican scientists found traces of copper wire dating
back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more
than 100 years ago.
Not to be outdone, Puerto Rican scientists dug to a depth of 75 feet, and shortly after,
headlines in San Juan newspapers read: "Puerto Rican archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old
copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech
communications network a hundred years earlier than the Mexicans."
A week later, the Philippine National Historical Commission, Philippine Archaeological
Society and the media reported: "After digging as deep as 90 feet in wash beds near Navotas,
archaeologists reported that they found absolutely nothing, therefore concluding that 300 years ago Filipino
natives had already gone wireless."--iNFOGRAFiX

An elderly couple, who had just learned how to send text messages on their mobile phones.
The wife was a romantic type and the husband was more of a no-nonsense guy.
One afternoon the wife went out to meet a friend for coffee.
She decided to send her husband a romantic text message and she wrote:
"If you are sleeping, send me your dreams. If you are laughing, send me your smile. If you
are eating, send me a bite. If you are drinking, send me a sip. If you are crying, send me your tears.
I love you."
The husband texted back to her:
"I'm on the toilet. Please
advise."--Dr. Alex R.

Earnings
A little elderly lady was walking down the street dragging two large plastic garbage
bags behind her.
One of the bags was ripped and every once in a while a $20 fell out onto the sidewalk.
Noticing this, a policeman stopped her, and said, "Ma'am, there are $20 bills falling out of
that bag."
"Oh, really? Darn it!" said the little old lady. "I'd better go back and see if I can find
them. Thanks for telling me officer."
"Well, now, not so fast," said the cop. Where did you get all that money? You didn't steal
it, did you?"
"Oh, no, no", said the lady. "You see, my back yard is right next to a Golf course. A lot
of golfers come and pee through a knot hole in my fence, right into my flower garden.It used to
really tick me off. Kills the flowers, you know. Then I thought, why not make the best of it? So, now,
I stand behind the fence by the knot hole, real quiet, with my hedge clippers. Every time some
guy sticks his thing through my fence, I surprise him, grab hold of it and say, `O.K., buddy! Give
me $20, or off it comes'."
"Well, that seems only fair," said the cop, laughing. "OK.. Good luck! Oh, by the way,
what's in the other bag?"
"Not everybody pays," she replied.
