Si Jeff Patawaran!KUNG kayo ay nakapanood

ng TV Patrol World sa ABS-CBNnoong nakaraang Huwebes,malamang matunog na sa inyoang pangalang Jeff Patawaran.Siya ang executive officer ngPresidential Anti-SmugglingGroup (PASG) na inakusahanng abogadong si BonifacioAlentajan ng panununtok.

* * *Hindi ko ipagkakaila na si

Jeff ay matagal ko nang matalikna kaibigan. Para sa mga taonglubos na nakakakilala kay Jeff,tulad ko, siya ay isang hindipalaimik na tao. Ugali niyangtawagin ang mga nakakatandasa kanya ng manong o kuyana may palaging kasamang pokapag kinakausap niya sila anopa man ang kanilang estado sabuhay.

Kilala din siya bilang isangpeacemaker. Nang minsangmagkaroon ng problema sapagitan ko at ng isang kaibigan,si Jeff ang gumawa ng paraanpara pag-ayusin kami ngnasabing kaibigan. Isa rinsiyang pasensiyosong tao.

Kaya ng mapanood ko sa TVPatrol ang isang taong may black eye at nagsusumbongdahil sinuntok daw siya ni Jeff,ang agad na pumasok sa aking

isipan ay marahil nasagad naang pasensiya ni Jeff.

Tinawagan ko si Jeff paramakibalita. Ayon sa kanyanangyari ang insidente sa loobng gusali ng Integrated Bar ofthe Philippines (IBP). Naroonsiya para sa dinidinig na disbarment case na isinampa niyalaban kay Alentajan.

Isa sa mga dahilan natinukoy ni Jeff sa pagsasampaniya ng disbarment case labankay Alentajan ay nang pekehenumano ni Alentajan ang pirmang isang Atty. Delfin Agcaoili,isang notary public, sa verifi-cation for petition for bail naisinumite ni Alentajan sa kortepara sa kanyang kliyenteng siSiu Ting Alpha Kwok.

Matatandaan na ni-raid ngmga operatiba ng PASGkamakailan ang tahanan niKwok at nakumpiska ng grupoang daan-daang milyonghalaga ng mga diyamante na

pinaniniwalaang smuggled.Sabi pa ni Jeff, sa harap ng

hearing officer, nilait-lait siyani Alentajan. Pero ang masmatindi, nang tanungin dawni Jeff si Alentajan kung ito baang nagpapakalat ng mgapaninira sa text na nagsasabingang kahulugan daw ng PASGay Presidential Abu SayaffGroup, buong pagmamalakina sinagot daw siya niAlentajan ng yes, you said it right.

Lumabas daw agad si Jeffng kuwarto. Pagkalipas ng ilangsaglit lumabas din ng kuwartosi Alentajan na may kasamang dalawang security guard.At ng magkita sila sa lobby,sinabihan daw siya ni Alentajanng o ano?. Nandilim na rawang kanyang paningin atnasuntok niya si Alentajan.

Taliwas sa sinasabi ng ibana nang-api si Jeff ng isangkawawang tao, si Alentajan aykilala ng kanyang mgakumpaero bilang dekampanilyang tigasingabogado. Ayon pa nga sa ilan,may mga piskal at hurado nasadyang umiilag daw sa kanyadahil sa pagiging palaban nito.

Kaya kung tutuusinnakahanap lang talaga ngkatapat si Alentajan.

BILIB din naman ako sasyofal ng feslak ng tanging inamo Jason! Inerereklamo nyang violation of human rightsang NBI agents na umarestokay Jason Ivler sa loob ngkanyang bahay sa Blue Ridge,Quezon City. Ayon sa kanyangreklamo ay trinatong parang baboy ang kanyang mahal naanak matapos makipagpalitan ng putok sa NBI agentshanggang masukol. Unang-una, kitang-kita sa telebisyonang buong pangyayari kung paano siya nagsisinungalingat inilalayo ang atensyon ng mga NBI agents sa kwartongpinagtataguan ng kanyang anak kung saan nag-ala Ramboito at inisprayan ng putok ang mga ahenteng humuhuili sa

kanya.Trinato na parang baboy ang anak ko, himaktol ni

Marlene-Pollard. Ayon sa kanya, tinutukan ng baril angkanyang anak na si Jason bagaman sugatan na ito atnakaposas. Tinadyakan nila sa tiyan, dagdag pa niya.

Ipagpalagay na nating tama lahat ang kanyang reklamo,naisip ba niya na sa istilong ipinamalas ng kanyang anakna armado ng high-powered assault rifle ay handa itongpumatay at makipagpatayan. Anak ng kulogo talaga, muntikna ngang madagdagan ang biktima ng kanyang butihinganak (ayon sa kanya) nang tamaan ang dalawang NBI agentsna umaaresto sa kanya, na sina special investigator AnaLira Labao at SAU chief Angelito Magno.

Ipalagay nating tama uli siya sa pagtatanggol sa kanyang

anak, na aniyay mabait na anak, bakit mayroon siyang armasna animoy pupunta sa giyera? Kahit nga mga sundalotpulis natin di nakahawak ng baril at balang ginamit nya,nagtitiyaga nga sila sa kalawanging baril at balang re-loadpa. Saan at paano siya nagkaroon ng ganung laruan?

Nagre-reklamo siya ng human rights violation para sakanyang anak, paano naman ang rights ni Renato Ebarle Jr.,na di umanoy kanyang pinatay at na-violate? Kung baliktarinkaya natin ang sitwasyon, lumagay siya sa posisyon ngpamilya Ebarle na nawalan ng anak. Baka di lang humanrights violation ang isigaw nya.

Sa aking palagay, kahit anong praise relis ang gawin nyadi siya makakakuha ng suporta sa mga tuwid na mag-isipna mga magulang pagkat ultimo ang kanyang kaanak ay

sinisi siya sa pangyayari at sinapit ng kanyang anak. Dapatdaw ay noon pa niya isinuko ang kanyang anak. Hindikahanga-hanga ang ginawa niyang pagsisinungaling atpagtatago sa kanyang anak gayung alam nyang wantedito. Kung tutoong mahal nya ang kanyang anak disin sanayinisip nya ang kasasapitan nito at sanay kanyang isinukoagad ito upang makaiwas sa kapahamakan, na siya ngangsinapit nya ngayon.

Damang-dama nya ang inhumanity o violation of hu-man rights na dinanas ni Jason sa kamay ng mga umarestodito.

Ang tanong ng mga pilosopo, dapat bang bigyan ngrights ang mga kriminal?

Inhuman rights

SHOWBIZ lang daw ang pakikitungo ngsikat na young actor sa kanyang ka-loveteam dahil sa totoong buhay ayimbyerna siya sa girlalu dahil feeling jowaniya ang guwapong aktor kung umartesiya. Very much attached kasi ang hunk

actor sa kanyang non-showbiz girlfriend.Super sweet kasi ang actress at parang tuko

kung kumapit sa aktor na iritable. Knows niyo na siya?

OKEY sana kung talagangpusong ina ang umiiral kayMarlene Aguilar-Pollard sakanyang mga inihahayagkaugnay sa pagkakahuli ngNational Bureau of Investiga-tion sa kanyang anak na si Ja-son Aguilar Ivler nanahaharap sa patong-patongna kaso.

Okey din sana ang pahayagniya na sasaluhin niya ang bala para sa kanyang anak

upang mailigtas lang ito sakapahamakan subalit kitang-kita sa video na kuha ng ABS-CBN na nag-cover si MadamPollard nang magkaputukanna .

Okey na okey din sana angkanyang paghingi ng tulongsa ibat ibang ahensya ngEstados Unidos upangmailigtas lang ang kanyanganak sa pagkakakulong bungang kasong kanyang

kinakaharap.Ganyan talaga ang isang

ina na handang ibigay anglangit at lupa para sakanyang minamahal na anaksukdulang itakwil man siya ngmundo.

Okray naman ang arte niyanang hingiin pa ang tulong ngCommission on Human Rightssa pagsasabing binalewala oinabuso ng mga ahente ng NBIang karapatang pantao ng

kanyang anak.Okray din ang kanyang

pinalalabas ni Mrs. Pollard naang British bodyguard ngkanyang asawang si StevenPollard, economist-consultantng Asian Development Bank,ang bumaril at pumatay kayRenato Ebarle Jr., anak niMalacaang Assistant Secre-tary Renato Ebarle Sr.

Okray na palusot dahilkung talagang ang bodyguard

ng kanyang asawa ang mur-der suspect, dapat noon paniya inilantad ang kanyanganak upang harapin ang kasoat ibunyag ang katotohanan.

Okray na okray pa naipinagmamalaki ni Marleneang koneksyon ng lolo ni Ivler

sa mga opisyal ng EstadosUnidos. Lalapit at hihingi rawsila ng tulong kay UnitedStates Secretary Hillary Clintonupang mailigtas ang anak samga kasong kinakaharapkabilang na ang murder.

Pinaka-okray angpanglalait ng ginang sa mgaPinoy na hindi na kakaunawasa kanyang ginagawa umanopara sa kanyang anak. Aniya,mahal na mahal niya angkanyang anak at sasamahanniya ito hanggang kamatayandahil ang umiiral sa kanya aypusong ina. Mataas lang dawumano ang kanyang IQ nanasa borderline ng genius kayahindi siya maunawaan ng mgamamamayang mangmang.

Okray sa dilang okray ang babaeng ito dahil maramingmagulang partikular ina nanagmamahal sa kanilang mgaanak na hindi namannangungunsinte. Sa anongantas nga kaya puwedengihanay si Marlene Aguilar?Pusong ina o may sayad na?

Damdaming ina o may sayad na?OK o OKRAY?

CALOOCAN City Mayor Enrico RecomEchiverri continues to crank out significantservices to his constituents following the hold-ing of another mobile passporting program,which was done as part of the celebrations ofthe citys 48th Foundation Anniversary.

Last Saturday (January 23), residents whowanted to avail of the mobile passportingservice flooded Caloocan City Hall Northlocated along Zapote Road , Camarin II,Caloocan.

Those who benefitted from the programthanked Echiverri for the convenience it gavethem as they no longer needed to go to theDepartment of Foreign Affairs (DFA) in PasayCity to secure their passports.

The local residents pointed out that theywere also able to save money since the mayorhad devised a way to bring the passports,which are essential in securing jobs abroad,closer to them.

Echiverri said the program was made pos-sible through the coordination of the DFA andthe local governments Civil Registry Depart-ment (CRD), which served as head organizerof the mobile passporting.

The mayor said it is the duty of his ad-ministration to give prompt service to hisconstituents, thats why the mobilepassporting program was set up.

Our Daily BreadOur Daily BreadOur Daily BreadOur Daily BreadOur Daily BreadIt would have been simpler just to buy a new hair

dryer. But determined to save a buck, I decided to fix

it myself. In order to loosen the screw that was burieddeep in the handle, I took out the ultimate handymanshelpermy pocket knife. As I put pressure on theknife to turn the screw, the blade folded backonmy finger.

I learned a lesson that day: I love myself. And Iam urgent about meeting my needs. There was nothought of, Well, I dont really have time to stop thebleeding now. Ill get to it later. Also, there was atenderness about how the need was met. I instructedmy first-aid team (my wife and kids) to wash my

finger gently and then to put the bandage on in a waythat would avoid having the hairs on my finger pulledup when it was removed. My thoughts, words, andactions were driven by my love for myself.

To love your neighbor as yourself (Luke 10:27)requires the same urgent kind of love. Its a love thatnotices the need of another person and wont restuntil its been met. Its a gentle, tender love thatthinks and acts carefully. Its the sacrificial and com-

passionate love that a nameless Samaritan had for a fallen traveler. Its the kind of love God wants toshare with your neighbors through you. Joe Stowell

thing less than your own.

MARAMI na ring mga personalities mula sa mundo ng sports,lalo na sa basketball, ang tatakbo sa may 2010 elections. Ibat

ibang posisyonkonsehal, governor, vice mayor, mayor, etc.Sinasabing malaki ang tsansa nila na manalo kasi nga, kilala

sila. Sikat at iniidolo sa mga lugar nila.Pero bukod sa mga kilala naming basketball players, isa pang

kilalang atleta sa swimming ang sasabak na rin pala sa politika.Yan ay si Dale Evangelista, ang silver medalist natin sa swim-

ming competition sa nakaraang SEA games.* * *

Ito palang si Dale, bukod sa kanyang pagiging swimmer, aynasa polo team din natin.

Mula kasi pagkabata, swim-ming na ang nakahiligang sport.

Kailan ko lang nalaman na sasobrang busy niya sa kanyang

sports career, abay nagsisilbi rinpalang barangay captain itong siDale sa Tondo.

Kaya naman pala sa distritoniya sa Tondo, kilalang kilala itong si Dale maging ng mga batana natuturuan niya sa swimming at maging sa basketball.

* * *Nakakuwentuhan namin siya kamakailan at naibalita niya

sa aming kakandidato siya bilang konsehal sa distrito niya saTondo sa ticket ni Kuya Sonny Razon.

At ang feedback ay isa siya sa pinakapaboritong makakakuhang puwesto.

Natanong nga namin si Dale bakit sa politika pa?Ang sagot niya, Nais ko lang magsilbi sa mga ka-distrito ko

dito sa Tondo. Nais ko ring magpalawig ng marami ng sports

program dito sa amin, hindi lang sa swimming at basketball kundisa iba pang sports. Nakakatuwa dahil very positive naman angresponse ng mga kabataan dito, pati na ang mga magulang dahilalam nilang sa pamamagitan ng sports, mailalayo sa mga bisyoyung mga anak nila,sabi ni Dale.

* * *Isang malaking karangalan sa bansa ang nakapag-uwi siya

ng medalya mula sa SEA Games.Yan naman ang target naming mga atleta, ang mag-uwi ng

medalya para sa Pilipinas. Pawis at dugo ang puhunan namindiyan dahil araw-araw ang practice namin at talagang malakingsakripisyo,dagdag pa ni Dale.

Si Dale ay siya ring head coach ng swimming team ng EAC at bukod diyan, marami pa siyang hinahawakang teams.

Kahapon, naging guest speaker siya sa isang swimming com-

petition na nilahukan ng mga sangkaterbang kabataan sa Ma-nila, at itoy sinuportahan nina Darren Evangelista at ReggiePinlac ng Growee.

Labis ang kasiyahan nila dahil pinagbigyan din sila ni Gen.Avelino Sonny Razon na siya namang naging special guest of honor.
