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.

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.

Beer boys
A handful of 7 year old children were asked, 'what they thought of beer.
7-year-old Tim: "I think beer must be good. My dad says the more beer he drinks the
prettier
my mom gets."
7-year-old Melanie: "Beer makes my dad sleepy and we get to watch what we want on
television when he is asleep, so beer is nice."
7-year-old Grady: "My Mom gets funny when she drinks it and takes her top off at
parties."
7-year-old Toby: "My Mom and Dad talk funny when they drink beer and the more they
drink the more they give kisses to each other, which is a good thing."
7-year-old Sarah: "My Dad gets funny on beer. He is funny. He also wets his pants
sometimes, so he shouldn't have too much."
7-year-old Lilly: "My Dad loves beer. The more he drinks, the better he dances. One
time
he danced right into the pool."
7-year-old Ethan: "I don't like beer very much. Every time Dad drinks it, he burns the
sausages on the barbecue and they taste disgusting."
7-year-old Mary: "I think beer tastes bitter and I don't like it. Mom likes it, but
she gets tired
and leans at guys and they have to help her to the bedroom for a quick nap. When they
come
back, she is all perky and happy, and the guys are all tired out.
7-year-old Shirley: "I give Dad's beer to the dog and he goes to sleep."
7-year-old Brittney: "I don't like beer, but mom says it helps you get the guys you
want, so
I'll have to learn to like it.
7-year-old Jack: "My Mom drinks beer and she says silly things and picks on my father.
Whenever she drinks beer she yells at Dad and tells him to go bury his bone down the street
again, but
that doesn't make any sense."
7-year-old Fergie: "My mom never drinks beer when dad is home, but he sometimes does.
Then she yells at him when it makes him want to smooch. Mom only drinks beer when dad is away.
When it makes her want to smooch, she will do it with everybody, even the Pizza guy, and he is
weird.
7-year-old Alice: "My sister told me you have to drink your own weight in beer before
you
start to like it. She has some ways to go yet, I think. The guys usually ignore her until they
have had
a whole lot of beer, then they get nice and play with her.
7-year-old Brad: "Beer tastes disgusting. My brother told me it makes you think the
girls
are pretty. With his girlfriend I would need an awful lot of beer.
