Barringthat there are women who usuallywage wars against their philanderinghusbands, women are predominantlypeaceful individuals.Women of today can no longer becalled the “weaker sex” because theycan do almost anything that men can.They have now equal rights in the societyand they are as efficient as men--sometimes better--in many obligationsentrusted to them.Governor Lilia Pineda, recognizingthe role of women in society and nationbuilding, has tasked the BHWs,her frontline army in her battle to keepKapampangans healthy, as force-multipliersin promoting peace and order intheir communities.The BHWs work for their fellowmenin the barangays almost 24 hours eachday but with minimal support from thegovernment. They, who visit homes ofresidents who are afflicted by diseasesand no one to turn to, could influencethe communities to think of the overallbenefit of their areas instead of focusingon their selfish interests.There are jokes about war-freak menwho shiver in fear at the sight of theirwives. But, we hope these jokes aretrue because if women can make hotheadedmen sober, we’ll have morepeaceful communities.

HeadlineGitnang LuzonMARCH 5, 20135“The most potent weaponof the oppressor is the mind ofthe oppressed.”--Steven BikoTo wage in any war does not alwaystranslate into usingbrute force or violence.Nowadays, themost applied weaponryin any battlefield ispsychological warfare(psywar). The art andscience of stratagem,clever public manipulation,propaganda,hidden or underhandedagenda, covert orunderlying operationsare some of the componentsof this effectivesystem. To putthis into perspective, itis no wonder why propagandistsemploy thepower of psywar in thepolitical arena.Now WeKnow!ELLEZ J. DAVIO“I do notneed theirconcurrencejust to alterwhat I wantin life.”OutsideLooking InMark Lendle L. Toloza“Some candidatesuse gimmicksand playthe victim, theyare not onlyfeigning innocence,but posingas victimsas well.”Secret weaponHistory speaksfor itself: Hitler’s Nazipropaganda and his ideologyof ethnic cleansing;Mussolini’s Fascistmovement; the “stateless,classless utopianism”of the great KarlMarx that they keptablaze through the use of psychologicalwarfare. Successful or not,they kindle an impact by the powerof psywar, bar none.Deception is the benchmark ofall warfare as, Sun Tzu stated. Andin our modern times, propagandaas an ingredient of psywar, is themost dangerous weapon in politics.Name-calling like “lasenggo, sinungaling,walang hiya, bastos, walangpinag-aralan, babaero” is a tactic todeviate the issue without looking atthe evidence and discourse.See, those tags were borderingin Ad Hominem, or attacking theperson instead of the argument.This is also to demoralize the targetby shaming; make him look inferior,frail and substandard.Intimidation in politics. Givingdeath threats is a scare tactic to disarmthe resistance of an enemy tocontinue fighting. As from the immortalwords of Sun Tzu: “to fightand conquer in all your battles isnot supreme excellence; supremeexcellence consists inbreaking the enemy’sresistance without fighting.”By bruising the psycheand emotion of yourenemy, putting him ina mental state whereinanxiety, fear, paranoiawere unsettling becauseof the proposed imminentdanger he’s dealingwith, he becomes aloser halfway through it.Again, this is demoralization.Losing a candidate becauseof a political battle isalso a death in democracy,remember that. But as always,there is a flip side tothe coin. Some candidatesuse gimmicks and play thevictim, they are not onlyfeigning innocence, butposing as victims as well.You get sympathy, you getthe votes. Plus, you’ll getthat upperhand by constructingthat devilishintent of the enemy (me doing thefacepalm).Have you ever seen this kindof scenario in your life? Take as anexample activists holding up picketsigns and boards in rally, shoutingin rage, swarming in front of anyinstitution, university, or company.I was never involved in activism,by any sort. But as a former sciencescholar student in Pampanga HighSchool, we were trained to be highly-opinionated,and outspoken. Ifanyone thinks that I am blatantabout my ideas, they should meetmy former classmates and realizehow timid I am compared to them.Back to my point, I had observedthat kind of scenario; every minutedetails in it. Most of the time, authoritiesin duty tried to pre-emptor forestall the activists by hubrisIf you could turn back the time, whatare the the things or events in your life youwish you could change? Some would probablysay that they want to go back in timeto rekindle their old flames, or to spendmore quality time with their departedloved ones. For others, I presume, eventsthat had something to do with money mattersand the opportunities they failed tonotice that could probably change theirlives for the better.Try to imagine your life if you did whatyou have supposedly done before. Doesit make a big difference? We would neverknow, would we? We are all prisoners offate and destiny. All we have to do is towait slowly for our time and let the courseof life take us along the way. As for me,I really do not know if I need to change athing in my past. My life is so full of challengesand significant events that I couldnot really enumerate all the agonies andthe enrapture junctures that made me whoI am right now. I have regrets in life. Whodoes not? I made decisions that were outof bounds and felt miserable for a briefmoment yet, with failures I gained wisdomand I have learned to stand on mytwo feet. Uncalled for decisions marked aturning point in my life, however, I choseto accept them wholeheartedly. I have tomove forward for my own sake and benefits.Accepting the reality makes me saneand complete.I am who I amand power of authority. The activiststhen squeal in pain and tears,showing brutality dealt on them.But, a well-versed tactician will justorder his security guards to takepictures of the activists. Why? InPsychology, this is what you call“sensitization.” This will effectivelymake the target feel that he is onthe look, like cameras in a grocerystore. Not only that it has psychologicalimpact on the activists, it isalso coupled by the intent to “identifythe enemy.” Very shrewd.But in a political activity, somepropagandists facilitate what theycall in their books as “street theater”as a form of baiting. They willuse people to shout and rally in ragein streets of a town or a city; ventingscandalous remarks to the opposingcandidate. This is a dualityof attack and a set-up. Of course,this is unconstitutional. But if thetarget candidate reacted and counter-attackedthese political pawnsby force, he just made a flaw in hiscampaign. This scenario will bemagnified so he will be perceivedas a politician with impulsive character,hasty decision-making, andhungry for power that resonatespast dictators. Truth is, this is nothow we could test the character of apolitician, not with a single mistakeor action. Yet, this is propaganda atwork.To pin down an enemy, oneshould also break down his supportsystem. That is why the G2 or intelligenceof propaganda operationsseek to know the circle of friends,co-workers and family of the target.Propagandists could use “rewardand punishment” to make the supportsystem of the target their veryown accomplice and pawns. Thereis no greater reward than moneyand a promise of a better future,as the earmark of the adage: “whenmoney talks, everybody listens.”That is why, in politics, “gapang”was coined. That is why in politics,propaganda plus money could turnpeople into automaton.After my first marriage, I had aOUTSIDE LOOKING IN Page 7The fact is, I am who I am. Nothing morenothing less. I love being me. I tend to beirrational sometimes, yet I always find themost logical explanation of my so-calledoutspoken attitude. I am open to criticism,either positive or negative, as longas it would help me enhance my identity.I feel awkward and indifferent when afriend reveals the dark side of my personality.I get offended, honestly.But I have to welcome his/her observationfor me to step up to the level of conformityamong my peers. I need to recognizetheir noble deeds in order to sustaina lasting relationship. It is paramount forme to earn their trust and confidence. Mypeers appreciate the deepest context of mysoul. And in return, I give them the respectthey deserve.It is not my intention to please everybody.And I know I can’t. The funny thingis, I do not mind what other people wouldthink of me. I do not need their concurrencejust to alter what I want in life. I havewhat I need. My life circles in my own creation.If people cannot accept my imperfectionsthat’s their problem, anyway.If given the privilege to go back in time,I would take my life as it is. No regrets. Iwould not trade what I have right now foranything fancy and superfluous that thematerial world could offer. Life is all aboutrisks. All we have to do is jump on everygiven chance and live with it. •Sitsit at kulayit“This aspiration to fight for what isrightfully ours, legally and historically,is a unilateral act of the Sultanate ofSulu.

Steam baths and good masseurs will help keep thatmotivation high-keep your up your water intake. Today you will be able to tackle tasks that requirereal discipline. Whether you are male or female, the family chores can become quite tedious andboring--consider ear candy while you work.

It might be good to make a list of first-things-first.Learn to execute some stress relief techniques. This will be easier if you have a place of retreat for afew moments during the day. If you are working away from home, perhaps you could have a lunch timethat is creative and nature oriented.

It also appears that an organizationalshuffle will affect you and could open up new opportunities. There could be fast changes andsurprise events and you will need to be able to become flexible in your ideas and methods of working.A family member, perhaps one that has been ill, is in need of a visit this afternoon. Visiting with thisfamily member would be a good idea. A feeling of being at peace and stable on the emotional levelcomes to importance just now. Stability and permanence satisfy a deep emotional need. Music is alsolikely to play a more important role in your life. Romance is possible this evening, especially with yourefforts in mending fences.SCORPIO (OCT. 24- NOV. 21)You may be sought after as just the person for a particular job. Your management and directional abilitiesare in high focus. A new method of working may have you and your co-workers with your headstogether in deep concentration. People are ready to help each other and that is the way it ought to be.Take heed to other people’s advice. Friends at work may be talking about family matters this afternoon.Fondness and appreciation for the past and for your roots in life take on greater importance foryou. This afternoon, some form of team sports is invigorating and you enjoy the camaraderie amongfriends. Love is in full blossom--it certainly makes it easier to put the past behind you. You may findyourself dancing cheek-to-cheek this evening.SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22 - DEC. 21)Business is completed quickly today and you may be able to go home early or plan your weekendactivities during the afternoon. Nonrestrictive discussions and reading material may bring insights.Emotional security, a sense of belonging and nurturing are the issues felt instinctively now. You mayintuitively know the weakness of your competition so planning a sales pitch, an advertisement gimmickor some other technique that will get you ahead in the long run may be where your attention ismost focused this afternoon. You make good use of your time, no matter what the subject matter. Youhave enough personality and popularity to be a leader and may give some thought to a political stationin your town. Advertising your name will be easy.CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 - JAN 19)Your creative mind may not have an opportunity to kick in today as there are lots of people trying togain your attention and you can become distracted; patience is a virtue. There is a genuine love ofexperiencing new things and you may go out of your way to find the new and exciting. Compromiseis paramount in all of your choices. You may want to just get out and walk or exercise after work thisafternoon. This evening a young child may need homework guidance. You can demonstrate great understandingand sensitivity and it is easy to lend guidance, but perhaps not the answers. The internetmay be an option. You enjoy pleasant surroundings--your environment reflects your mental peace ofmind. Animals are your friends and bring serenity.AQUARIUS (JAN. 20 - FEB. 18)Hard work is the mode for this day. You enjoy the work and take pride in finding the right answersin a short amount of time.

Take this evening torest, catch up on your reading and refurbish your energies. A little crossword puzzle or a rented moviecould be enjoyed.PISCES (FEB. 19 - MAR. 20)You are at your mental best with sharp ideas and clear thoughts. This is an excellent time to make decisionsand take care of mental work. You may have problems holding onto money, through bad investments orunpaid debts, which may surface now. This problem of holding onto money could also be because of thecharities or causes that solicit your support. It would be good to be cautious and discriminate betweenthose who really need your help financially and those who engage in rip-offs. Communication and gettingyour message across to others are at a high just now. Your timing should be perfect. You have an intuitiveway about you in knowing when your loved one has needs. This is a good time to share with a loved one.

There had alwaysbeen times when even partymates bolted out fromtheir union to pursue other agenda that are contrary to thepresident’s.If the president cannot be 100 percent sure his senatorswould support him all the way, he should not waste his timecampaigning for anyone of them and just buckle down towork for the people who elected him to office.The new politics that the president promised when hecampaigned for the presidency in 2010 should be felt by thepeople now with him practicing what he preaches.The president should start practicing what he preaches.The “daang matuwid” slogan should not just be one colorfullip service. •BALITANG TODA MAX from Page 4President Juan Ponce Enrile at lahat halos ng kandidato,ay lumalabag sa alituntunin ng Commission on Elections(COMELEC).Hindi pa nga official campaign period, ang LiberalParty at ang UNA ay nag-endorso na ng kanilang mga kandidato.***Sabi ng COMELEC, dapat lahat ng propaganda materialsay sa designated common poster areas ikabit at dapatnasa hustong sukat.

I mether circle of friends and I realized that even though eachone of them has individuality, has his own set of standardsand upbringing; there’s a point when they were behavingcollectively. Now, if I could befriend one of them and havea rapport, it sure has a snowball effect to all of them, withoutthe rest knowing me verily firsthand. This is one of theaims of propaganda, they use herding to crush down theenemy. Without fair judgments, morale, and reason; peopleare easily persuaded into a belief. By shock and awe,bandwagon, reward and punishment, etc. it is very possibleto manipulate the public mind. E.D. Martin said it best,“Propaganda offers ready-made opinion for the unthinkingherd.”Propaganda is no secret weapon in politics. The victimsare the people being cheated. The locus delicti is our mind.But many great thinkers in the past said, “never draw yoursword to a swordsman.” It’s like saying, never point a gunto a gunman, never show your tactics to a strategist, neverplay with a player, never play checkers with a chess player.Because, the same weapon will be used against you. Aggressionis the blunder of the loudmouth, while no-talk isthe halitosis of the weak. That’s why a learned man irritatesthe loudmouth, and begins loudmouthing the weak.Whatever we encounter, cabalens, let me unveil the secretweapon that was concealed for a long time: read the offenseand anticipate the moves of your enemy, understand andlearn his weapon!Sometimes, the taste of victory is knowing what the enemyis serving you on his plate. •MARIAN from Page 8Maagang dumating ni Kris Aquino na unang presentorna winner ng OutstandingLifestyle Program Host forKris TV na siya ring nanalongprograma sa nasabingkategorya.Ang nakakatuwa kayKris, stay pa siya ng ilangminute upang panoorin anglive version ng Pusong Batoni Alon.
