FOR SOME, SENATOR MERRIAM DEFENSOR SANTIAGO ALWAYS GO OVERBOARD. VERY VOCAL ABOUT WHAT SHE FEELS AND WHAT SHE THINKS NOT MINDING WHAT OTHER  PEOPLE  WOULD THINK ABOUT HER. BUT LIKE THE REST OF US SHE IS ONLY HUMAN SUSCEPTIBLE OR EASILY AFFECTED BY SOMETHING. FOR THIS VERY SIMPLE REASON, THE DRAGON LADY FROM ILOILO IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN WENT BALLISTIC WHEN THE PROSECUTION WITHDRAWN THE FIVE (5) OTHER ARTICLES CONTAINED IN THEIR IMPEACHMENT COMPLAINT AGAINST CHIEF JUSTICE RENATO CORONA AND REBUKED THEM FOR BEING ILL- PREPARED TO PRESENT THEIR CASE TO THE FULLEST AND TO THEIR UTMOST BEST AS GOVERNMENT PROSECUTORS. THOUGH AT SOME EXTENT OF HER SPEECH OR THE CLERGY PEOPLE MAY CALLED IT HOMILY IS NOT VERY PLEASANT OR IRRITATING TO ONES EARS, BUT AT THE END A SUPERB HUMOR IS ALWAYS BEEN ADDED TO LESSEN ITS IMPACT ESPECIALLY TO AFFECTED OR CONCERNED GROUPS OR INDIVIDUAL WHERE THE MESSAGE WAS MEANT FOR. SHE USED WAH! AS AN EXPRESSION OF DIS-BELIEF AND FRUSTRATION THAT THE GOVERNM

GERONTOPHOBIA IS THE TERM USED FOR FEAR OF GETTING OLD WHICH OUR YOUNG PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF. BUT IT IS INEVITABLE A FACTS OF LIFE THAT CANNOT BE  IGNORED, CHANGED OR ALTERED. YES, SCIENCE PROLONGS THE YOUNGER LOOKING OF SOME BUT ONLY FOR A LIMITED EXTENSION OF TIME. THE YOUTH FULLNESS WILL SURELY FADE AWAY.  .SOME OLDER PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE LITTLE LEFT AND THEIR LIFE IS NEARING TO DEATH. BUT THIS IS NOT SO WITH SENATE PRESIDENT JUAN PONCE ENRILE WHO STOOD TALL IN THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL AGAINST CHIEF JUSTICE RENATO CORONADO CORONA WHO'S RULING UNDENIABLY FAIR TO BOTH PARTY CONCERNED. AT 88, SENATE PRESIDENT JUAN PONCE ENRILE PROVED TO THE NATION AND TO THE REST OF THE WORLD THAT SENIOR CITIZEN LIKE HIM WILL ALWAYS BE AS SHINNING AS OUR YOUTH OF TODAY. HE WAS MOLDED BY HIS EXPERIENCE AND WELL CRAFTED BY THE CHANGING TIMES. I HOPE YOU WILL AGREE WITH ME IN SAYING THAT NOTHING WILL BE LIKE HIM. THIS WILL BE HIS BRIGHTEST MOMENT AT "88" AND HE WILL ALWAYS BE A

I FOR ONE COMMEND THE FIRM STAND MADE BY THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SECRETARY LEILA DE LIMA FOR STANDING HER GROUND AS THE WITNESS OF THE PROSECUTION TEAM AGAINST THE CHIEF JUSTICE RENATO CORONADO CORONA WITH REGARDS TO ARTICLE 7 OF THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL ALLEGEDLY SHOWING THE IMPARTIALITY OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE RENATO CORONA IN THE ISSUANCE OF TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER TO FORMER PRESIDENT GLORIA MACAPAGAL ARROYO ET.AL. IN THE BEGINNING OF THE TRIAL, SECRETARY DE LIMA NARRATED THE STORY OF HOW  THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHOW HIS IMPARTIALITY IN THE IST, 2ND AND 3RD EN BANC RESOLUTION BUT SHE RELIED HEAVILY ON THE DISSENTING OPINION OF ASSOCIATE JUSTICE SERENO TO PROVE HER ALLEGATION. ALTHOUGH HER NARRATIVE STAND AS IT IS BUT IT CANNOT BE USED AS EVIDENCE BECAUSE IT FALLS UNDER THE CATEGORY OF HEARSAY EVIDENCE BECAUSE SHE IS NOT BODILY PRESENT AND HAD NO DIRECT PARTICIPATION WHATSOEVER IN THE DECISION MAKING OF THE SAID RESOLUTION. THE DILEMMA OF DE LIMA WENT INTO DEEPER WHEN THE

THERE ARE SO MUCH LESSONS TO BE LEARNED FROM THE IMPEACHMENT TRIALS OF CHIEF JUSTICE RENATO CORONADO CORONA FROM THE PROSECUTION PANEL, DEFENSE  TEAM, SENATOR JUDGES AND BIT PLAYERS IN THE THIS IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS: THE LATIN PHRASE "FALSUS IN UNUM, FALSUS IN OMNIBUS" WHICH TRANSLATES, FALSE IN ONE THING, FALSE IN ALL THINGS OR LIED IN ONE PARTICULAR LIED IN ALL PARTICULARS.  THESE WERE THE WORDS USED BY THE BRILLIANT SENATOR JUDGE, MIRIAM DEFENSOR SANTIAGO WITH REGARDS TO THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED BY THE PROSECUTION PANEL IN LINE WITH THE ANNEXED DOCUMENT ABOUT THE LEAKAGE OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE BANK RECORDS WHICH IS IN VIOLATION OF BANK SECRECY LAW.  IF THIS IS THE ONLY PARAMETER OF THE LAW IN DETERMINING THE CULPRIT THEN I WILL ACQUIT THE CHIEF JUSTICE FOR PRESENTING SPURIOUS EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM BY THE PROSECUTION PANEL. A VERY IMPORTANT DOCUMENT LIKE BANK RECORDS WILL NOT LAND INTO SOMEONE'S HAND WITHOUT A MASTER MIND BEHIND IT.

ON MY SIDE TRIP TO MINDANAO, I HAVE THE CHANCE TO SEE THE SIMPLICITY OF LIFE OF OUR PEOPLE LIVING IN THIS WONDERFUL BUT SOULFUL PARADISE OF BUKIDNON WHICH WAS CALLED THE FOOD BASKET OF MINDANAO. THE PLACE WAS SO QUIET AND SO PEACEFUL IT IS SURROUNDED BY DIFFERENT PLANTATIONS AND RIVERS THAT IRRIGATES THE WHOLE PLANTATIONS AND PROVIDES ELECTRICITY FOR ITS INHABITANTS THE SCHOOLS WERE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BUILDINGS AND PROBABLY THE MOST VISIBLE EDIFICES IN BUKIDNON.  FAMOUS LANDMARK A CLASS OF ITS OWN. PANORAMIC BEAUTY BUKIDNON IS A HOME OF THE FINEST AND SWEETEST PINEAPPLE IN THE COUNTRY.

FROM THE START THOSE PEOPLE LIVING NEAR THE RIVERBANKS ENDANGER THEMSELVES FROM BEING WIPED OUT BY A MIGHTY RUSHING WATERS MITIGATED BY EXCESSIVE HEAVY RAINS AND A VERY POWERFUL WINDS THAT ARE CAPABLE OF CRUSHING ALMOST EVERYTHING THAT STANDS AGAINST THEIR PATH . IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME, THAT SIMILAR EVENTS LIKE THIS WILL STRIKES AGAIN IN OUR MOST CONVENIENT TIME. 

FOLK DANCE IS A FORM OF DANCE DEVELOPED BY A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT REFLECTS CERTAIN CULTURE, TRADITION AND BELIEFS. FOLK DANCE IS A GREAT EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES. IT IS EASY TO LEARN BUT ITS STYLE AND ELEGANCE WILL NEVER FADE AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBER EVEN BY NEW GENERATION. WE CONSIDERS FOLK DANCE AS A UNIQUE HERITAGE OF OUR PEOPLE. IT IS EMBEDDED IN OUR CULTURE AND PRACTICE BY OUR PEOPLE EVERY TIME WE HAVE SPECIAL OCCASIONS REMINDING US HOW RICH WE ARE IN TERMS OF OUR CULTURAL HERITAGE. WE SALUTE THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, THE CITY DIVISION SCHOOLS OF QUEZON CITY, THE DIFFERENT PRIVATE SCHOOLS, THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNIT OF QUEZON CITY, THE SANGUNIANG KABATAAN OF QUEZON CITY LED BY SK FEDERATION PRESIDENT/ COUNCILOR DE GUZMAN FOR TAKING PART, ORGANIZING AND HOSTING THIS KIND OF ACTIVITIES. WE, FILIPINOS ARE VERY UNIQUE PEOPLE AND ONE OF A KIND. SOMEONE SAID, "THE PHILIPPINES BECOME THE WEST -TEMPERED EAST".
