4HeadlineGitnang luzonFEBRUARY 5, 2013EDITORIALGold minePampanga needs to adopt a fool-proofsystem in managing its quarry resources nowthat the Pineda administration has unearthedthe full potential of the sand and gravel industryof the province.Vice Governor Joseller “Yeng” Guiao, whospent almost his entire career as second incommand at the Capitol to prove his theorythat the quarry resources can haul in almosta million pesos everyday, is very passionateto leave the province with a computerizedsystem in the collection of quarry fees.As of January 31, the province has collectedclose to P649,782,500, and is well on track toachieving the P770 million target collectionby the time Governor Lilia Pineda and Guiaowould have ended their term of office by July.Guiao has launched a crusade to correctthe collection of quarry since he assumed officeas vice governor. His fight to uncover thereal potential of the industry took him yearsand three governors--the first two of whomdid not share his enthusiasm-- to win.This year, with a governor who has thesame wavelength when it comes to regularizingthe province’s rich income generator,Guiao wants to make final a legacy thatwould forever be credited to his name--aninstitutionalized quarry collection.Guiao thinks a governor like the incumbentwould be fine to continue the good monthlyturnout of quarry taxes. But, once anothergovernor steps in, the probability of corruptionis always there, unless a safety net, inthis case a computerized system, is laid out.The computerization, Guiao said, will ensureat the very least a consistent collectionthat does not fall far below the average ofabout P25 million per month and, ideally, topull the income higher than the said amount.Stakeholders, too, have given their nod tothe proposal. It will be an investment for thefuture of the industry that has lost millions toself-vested interests because its collectionsystem is prone to manipulations.A few bucks spent would redound to moreincome for the province.

This would onlyshow how deep is the socioculturalinfluence of the Chineseto the Filipinos of today.Historically, what kind ofrelationship do these ancientpeoples of Southeast Asiasuch as the early Kapampanganshave with these earlypeoples of China? And duringthe advent of Europeanimperialism in Asia, what dothe early European chroniclerssuch as the Spaniardsobserved? How did they examinethe early relationshipof this ancient Chinese withthe early pampang settlersin the island of Luzon? Howand why did the ancient Chinesetravel from China to thisarchipelago? Presumably, asit was, the growing overseastrade paved along the way,and these ancient Chinesetraders coincided their annualtrips to Luzon with thecycle of sea currents.The Isik among Kapampangans(First of 3 parts)Archaeological evidenceThe start of trading withinthe archipelago might havetaken place between AD 618and AD 906, as shown by recoveredTang and Tang-typetrade ceramics in coastalsites or riverbanks surroundingManila Bay. Several sitesproven to have had multipleepisodes of habitation andphases of settlement yieldedthousands of pieces of tradewares, ranging from thepopular China porcelains tostone wares and even earthenwares and other trade itemsof metals, beads etc.. Sitesare usually located along themajor rivers of Pampanga(Porac, Guagua, Lubao, Candaba,among others) andthe rest of Central Luzon.Evidences suggest that thesevarious groups participatedin the growing overseas tradeespecially with the early Chinesemerchants of the Sung,Yuan and Ming periods, asreported by Henry OtleyBeyer (1930s), Robert Fox (inthe 1960s), and the currentcrop of archaeologists fromthe National Museum andthe UP Archaeological StudiesProgram.In AD 1349 Wang Ta-yuan,a traveler from Nanchiang,Kiangxi visited San-tao(probably the coast south ofCape Engaño), Ma-I, Min-tolang(Mindanao), Ma-li-lu,Sulu (Sulu), and Pi-sho-ye(Visayas). Around this timealso, the Philippine islandswere being recognized andincluded in early Chinesemaps. The following featuresappear in such maps: Yin-liwhich might be the island ofHermana Mayor off the coastof Zambales in western CentralLuzon; Haicha-sü, presumablynamed after Haitan(sü means island) or Aëta;and Ma-li-lu believed to beMainila (Manila).Furthermore, Lü-sungarea rose to prominence.The Chinese governmentofficially acknowledged theassistance the people of theLü-sung area had extendedto Chinese naval forces pursuingpirates in the area.In this incident, early Kapampanganrulers sent aidin the form of a large boatfull of soldiers. This was theperiod when the Philippinearchipelago reached its highestlevels of trade coincidingwith the widest expansionof China’s inter-ocean commerce.In fact, the Chinesegovernment sent an imperialdecree to Manila, confirmingthe rulers of Lü-sung in theirpositions, as what is found inthe Ming Shi records.It was in the same year,after the tribute missionsprospered, that a great Chinesefleet of more than 60vessels and 27,000 peopleunder the command of AdmiralCheng Ho (ZhengHe) was said to have passedthrough the archipelago, visitingports of Lingayen, ManilaBay, Mindoro and Sulu,Fair Election Act (Part 3)propaganda donated or given free ofcharge by any person or publishingfirm or broadcast entity to a candidateor party without the written acceptanceby the said candidate or partyand unless they bear and be identifiedby the words“printed freeof charge,” or“airtime for thisbroadcast wasprovided freeof charge by”,respectively,followed by thetrue and correctname andaddress of thesaid publishingfirm or broadcastentity.“Hanggangelection propagandalangang Comelec.Pam-PR langnila ang mgaipinagbabawalnila”Bawal ding ipakita, idisplay sapubliko gamit ang sinehan, himpilanng television o anumang pagtitiponng publiko, sa anumang pelikula, cinematograpiyao dokumentaryo angbuhay o talambuhay ng isang kandidato.O ang karakter sa isang pelikulaay binibigyang buhay ng isang artistao media personality na siya mismo ayisang kandidato.It is also prohibited for any newspaperor publication, radio, televisionagain underscoring Luzon’seconomic importance to theChinese government. In fact,a Chinese governor namedKo-ch’a-lao was appointedfor the island of Luzon asnoted by R. A. Skelton in hiswork, Philippine Cartography.In AD 1408, another Lüsungmission went to Chinabringing presents such as“small but very strong” horses,while the celestial Mingemperor reciprocated withgifts of seda (silks), strings ofcopper “cash,” porcelain, etc.Chinese merchants likewisebrought gifts to the “Kingof Lü-sung”. Two more visitswas made between 1410and 1412 by the great Chinesefleet which visited onceagain the ports of Lingayen,Manila Bay, Mindoro beforeproceeding beyond the seasto southern India and thePersian Gulf.The Chinese during theSpanish colonial periodBarely three years afterthe Spaniards came to Luzonin 1571, the Chinese pirateLimahong invaded Manilabut was repelled by Spanishsoldiers backed by Kapampanganwarriors. After thepirate fled to Pangasinan, theSpanish colonial governmentthought it wise to fortifyManila, once again relyingon Kapampangans to bringin logs and construct whatwould eventually be knownas Intramuros, the walledcity. This was the beginningof the friendship betweenPampanga and Spain thatwould last 300 years.In 1603, during the suppressionof the troublesomeChinese outside the city walls,the Spaniards massacred agood number of them; manyof the Chinese survivors tookthe boat and paddled acrossthe bay into the PampangaRiver, and eventually settledin the communities alongthe river, especially Guagua.This is the reason the townbecame a hub of trade evenMAGBALAWE PAGE 9or cable television station, or othermass media, or any person makinguse of the mass media to sell or to givefree of chargeprint spaceor air timefor campaignor electionpropagandapurposes toany candidateor party inexcess of thesize, durationor frequencyauthorized bylaw.Pitik-Bulag The lawANGELO BLANCO also prohibitsany radio,television,cable television station, announcer orbroadcaster to allow the scheduling ofany program, or permit any sponsor tomanifestly favor or oppose any candidateor party by unduly or repeatedlyreferring to, or unnecessarily mentioninghis name, or including therein saidcandidate or party.Ipinagbabawal ding ilagay, idisplayo exhibit ang anumang campaigno propaganda materials sa labas ngPITIK - BULAG PAGE 9All about loveTHE MUCH-AWAITED month of the year for lovershas now officially started. February is the lovemonth. It is the season where Cupid, the God of Love,works overtime. Imagine him flying across the globeand striking unsuspected individuals with his arrowsand, behold, love blossoms between them. It is a mysteryhow two strangers fall in love in a matter of seconds.Even science could not specifically explain thelogical reason behind it. The attraction between twostrangers is undeniable. Thesensation is so overwhelmingthat you could feel butterfliescircle your stomach when youwake up in the morning. Everythingis clearer when youare in love. Love is an irresistibledesire that could not behandled accordingly. It drivesthe person insane. It couldmake you vulnerable anddo some stupid acts beyondthe accepted normalcy of thesociety. It invades your beingand totally conquer yourmental ability. Love couldtransform anything dark intoilluminating spectacle.Did you know that thereare five (5) kinds of love andeach is distinct from the other.First is Epithumia, it is alove based on strong desire orlust or sometimes to covet. Itdraws couples closer together.And it could lead to an uncontrollabledesire to have orto own. It nurtures a strongbond between couples whoNow WeKnow!ELLEZ J. DAVIO“ Love is an irresistibledesirethat could notbe handledaccordingly. Itdrives the personinsane.”find themselves sexually driven by desire and selflessnessin pleasing in each other in their intimate moments.Epithumia love usually manifests during theearly stage of a relationship.Second is Eros, a romantic love, it is a love in thesense of “being in love or loving someone.” It is ahead-over-heels feeling. Your world revolves on theperson you love. An overwhelming feeling that canbe manifested through songs, poetry, affirmation andlove making. A sense of attachment and the longingintimacy to the love of your life make you feel ecstatic.Third is Storge, the most natural, emotive, anddiffused of loves. It represents a safe haven to couples.It is a love with mutual respect, acceptance andshelter. A lot of couple who spend a commitment foryears think that their relationship is boring, it is actuallyStorge love. It is in effect a safe love which lacksglamour and sparks we look for. Storge love can coexistwith other types of loves. It can be a foundationof trust and safety.Fourth is Phileo, a love that seeks response froma beloved. It is a love between friends and lovers. Itis a love of relationship, comradeship, sharing, communicationand friendship. Phileo love is all abouttrusting. It cherishes each other’s thoughts, feelings,attitudes, plans and dreams and even intimate secretsand fears. A passionate attitude in the bedroom is uselesswithout a Phileo marriage.Fifth is Agape, a love full of sacrifices. To love yourpartner wholly and completely with no expectationsis the nature of Agape love. It is like giving yourself forthe betterment of the marriage. Agape love could protectyou emotionally in times of difficulty. You couldlove your partner unconditionally and still have theboundaries and self respect you need.Love does not really need a classification. Lovingsomeone without reservation is a discovery that a personis willing to experience. The beauty and joy andthe pain we all went through in loving a person makeus human. Love is the greatest refreshment of all thatcould quench the thirst of our physical being andour spirit. Love is, indeed, an emotion experiencedby many and enjoyed by few. And to all people whoneeds love..if you wished to be loved, profess your loveto someone and maybe you will get love in return. ●Be heard!

HeadlineGitnang luzonFEBRUARY 5, 20137With broadcast journalist John Susi and Atty. Niño EnriquezCOOL MOM.Atty. IQ and her youngestchild Martina.ATTY. IMELDA“IQ” TUAZON:Being lawyer and mommore than just pure witsBY JENNA LUMBANGFive years ago, I met Atty. Imelda Q. Tuazona.k.a. IQ when I was at GNN TV44. She isthe host of the program Legal Points. Thefirst time I saw her I could say she lookslike a decade and half younger than herexact age (sorry but I will not divulge it here so youcan feel the burden of guessing), not to mentionhow beautiful and gorgeous she is. FYI, she is aformer Miss San Beda College.One of the toughest, intelligent and smartestlawyers in the province, Atty. IQ was elected asthe President of Integrated Bar of the Philippines(IBP) Pampanga in 2009 and later on appointedas one of the commissioners of the Commission ofBar Discipline IBP National. She is also a candidatefor Governor of IBP Central Luzon for 2013.Many times she lifted the reputation of womenespecially in this field dominated by men. She receivedthe confidence of four well-known lawyersthus accepting her as the only woman-partner ofVillanueva, de Leon, Hipolito, Tuazon and ImbongLaw office.Atty. IQ’s clients range from big and exclusiveschools, well-known personalities, politicians, andmulti-million companies but most of her cases arepro-bono for poor and indigents families.“Of course, this profession is my bread andbutter, but I feel the real essence of being a lawyerwhen you do it not because you are being paidbut because you want to help deliver justice to thepeople,” said Atty. Tuazon.Her dexterity is not limited in cross examinations,presentation of evidences, court appearances,etc.. She has also penetrated the mediaindustry being the host of Legal Points (formerlyTalking Points) of GNN TV44 and former host ofACCTN Channel 3’s “Gabay Mo’y Batas.”Working with her is working without pressure;she does not need briefers nor scripts. She will justask about the topic then the program will go verysmooth as if she’s only dealing with a client.Dedicated MotherA tough woman in court, a spontaneous hostand a devoted mother, that is how I see this ladylawyer and I think many will agree with me.Half a decade of knowing her is long enough tobe a living witness on how she manages her timeto be a successful career woman and a dedicatedmother at the same time.Atty. IQ is a good provider and loving mother.She raises her kids alone and shoulders theirfinancial needs.Time for lawyers is very stringent but shemakes it a point to spend a day with her children;shopping, going out of town, watching movies orsimply cooking for them.Known for her charisma and intellect, everyelection she is bombarded with offers to run foran office but she politely turns them down. Herreason? She is worried that her time with her kidswill be sacrificed.A well-known broadcast journalist, John Susidescribes Atty. IQ as the epitome of a modernwoman without compromising her moral andprofessional values.“I love the way she relates with people, downto earth and full of sincerity. She is so strongto face any challenges inside and outside of thecourtroom. It is every man’s dream to be her manand every woman’s dream to emulate,” said Susi.Just like anyone of us, IQ’s life is full of challengesthat test her fortitude in life and faith inGod. I don’t have to elucidate everything here butone of these was when her youngest child Martinawas diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL).It is hard for a mom to see her daughter sufferand be subjected to different medical examinationsand chemotherapy. Despite this, she remainedstrong and unruffled – a true pillar andlight of the family.Though Mothers’ Day is still four monthsaway, I want to grab this opportunity to salute thiswoman. She deserves two thumbs up from thiswriter, the readers and all those who knew her. ●IBP Pampanga lawyers.IBP Pampanga lawyers.The only lady-partner at Villanueva, de Leon, Hipolito, Tuazon and Imbong Law office.A mom who loves to cook for her kids.

Francisco de Sande’s 1576 chronicles refer to theChinese as Sangleyes, meaning “a people who come and go,” referring to theirhabit of coming annually to these islands to trade – or as they say there, “theregular post”.Fray Diego Bergaño, a Spanish lexicographer, likewise mentions the Sangleysa lot. A curious entry in his Vocabulario is the term sanglay, a diphthongfor sanglé, which means “to roast, or toast, like the cacao, corn kernels.” Thisparticular entry if further analyzed can be associated with the reputed culinaryexpertise of Chinese chefs, who always cook with a wok, or pan, which iswhat Kapampangans use in toasting or frying rice.

Myresentment and angst concerned not just my maritaldiscord, but several issues also that spawnedthroughout my marital separation.At first he played the bully, attacking me insubtlety. He even criticized some of my articles inHGL, scrutinizing even my spellings. He tried todemerit me in any way that he could think of. As hewas aware that I’ve developed a paranoid personality,which is being oversensitive to any attacks to myreputation, he tried to get into my head, taunting medisparaging remarks as “not man enough”, to namea few. It’s like he attacked my name and waits ‘til Ilose my mind because he knew about my Achilles’heel. Then I retaliated, so we engaged in a mano ymano verbal warfare as witnessed by our elementaryclassmates in the group.The battle never ceased. And so, what I didwas that I laid premises and truth which he cannotdeny; I revealed events that may back up mystatements, detailed and diplomatic like a curriculumvitae. Truthful words could be compared tomy armament, and people whom I mentioned aremy squadron. See, never underestimate my weaknessin a battle arena. I could play dead when I feelstrong, and play almighty when shrinking in weakness.One issue that I’ve resolved is how he taunt meas “not man enough”. I responded by mentioningpast events in my life, for my salient trait as a womanizerwas undeniable. One of the many reasonsthat I mentioned and confessed to my classmateswas that I “stole” my wife from a friend back then,like it was a Helen of Troy story: a blueprint thatforetells women are my weakness. Then, I swiftlyloaded bullets of undeniable truth as witnessed bymy classmates, which could ransack any hidingplace one could not escape.Then as my classmates read, saw and witnessedthe detailed statements solidifying my case,he made a public apology; admitting all his wrongsand ills. He replied a long, narrative statement tryingto equate mine. As concerned about my gender,he said in his own words that he was “misquoted”.This was read by the group members. In his ownwords, “pero makanini ita: ali ku sinabi na bakla kaat (insert homosexual act here) ala kung sinabingmakanini.. e mak2 bakla kesyo katal.. arap me ingsinabi kanaku nung atin kung sinabing makanyan..balamu mo potang sbyan ng eminem “you (insertfeminine insult to men here) something na maknta,kasi effeminate ka..”Let it be cleared that I have nothing againstthe gay gender but the intent here is that we shouldidentify the person that is due and that fits him. Yes,I may be effeminate. I am one of those metrosexualmen, who went to dermatologists, use body lotions,pedicure once in a while, etc. But I solemnly sayalso that I did not commit any acts of homosexualityor bisexuality: never was and never will. And Iwelcome any dissents to each and every of my statementshere. James also confessed that anger is whatmotivated him to commit all those wrongs. Furtherhe wrote that I am his “greatest rival” adding in hisown words that he always “wants to mess with thebest”, not that I am the best, but as a sign of his competitivenature. For now, the battle is on truce.In layman’s term, “it’s crazy, right?”See, words are so powerful, that it could createor destroy a person. With words alone, people coulddevelop prejudices without weighing the matterfirsthand, or, what many people say, looking at thethree sides of the story: what he said, what you said,and the truth.Prejudices, false accusations, hearsay or rumorsare some of the vilest pastimes of Pinoys. Evenprofessionals equip spreading malicious rumors asa subset to their propaganda to destroy credibility ofwhistle-blowers and witnesses.Jepoy Calma, who now hails from Paris,France, also a close family knot to us, showed scepticismtowards me about that rumor, when, in fact,he recognized my traits in my yesteryears. In momentsof hearsay, it seemed to me that he deviatedfrom his belief quickly and mindlessly. And as a selftruth:bullying an innocent, falsely-accused man isa devilish form of social sadism.As I’ve mentioned, people could be easily swayedby words, and when they monger, it could easilystretch in a damaging degree, the psychology of rumor.Average people could fall victims, what more ofa political candidate and mogul in a political arena?In the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines,Title 13 also known as the “Crime against Honor”, itdeclares a criminal law against libel, slander or oraldefamation, it’s definition, forms and punishment.As stated “A libel is public and malicious imputationof a crime, or of a vice or defect, real or imaginary,or any act, omission, condition, status, or circumstancetending to cause the dishonor, discredit,or contempt of a natural or juridical person, or toblacken the memory of one who is dead.”While Chapter 2 is about Incriminatory Machinations,wherein article 363-364 were about incriminatingan innocent person and intriguing againsthonor. The very cornerstone of Crime against Honorwould be tarnishing reputation and honor of aperson, by malicious intent and without good intention,to discredit or dishonor any person because oftheir vice, defect, status, condition, etc. Now, I haveknown a lot of people who were liable to this crime.Lo and behold Kabalens, freedom of expressionis a privilege mandated by law, but never an absolutepower. Yet politicians resort to foul tactics onlyto get an advantage over their rivals. Bruising theirreputation, punching their public image just to getthat upper hand, spewing insults right in the face oftheir candidacy. But a politician that is made of valuesand diplomacy, will remain composed. A kindof demeanor that resonates true power. And as hewas being attacked, he will calmly fire back in refute,rebut with evidence and facts, and let the publicknow for them to decide. The late Martin LutherKing, Jr. was right, “The ultimate measure of a manis not where he stands in moments of comfort andconvenience; but where he stands at times of challengeand controversy.” In our politics, it is properto “nail the coffin” which means resolving issuesand ending it. But it gets filthier nowadays, so it isrequired more than nailing it. They should axe theircoffin of truth and crack it open.Para makita at maamoy ang kalansay ng katotohanan.●
