THE FOUR SIDES OF THE STORY.. WHAT IT TELLS

                         

The Four Sides Of The Story                             By: Teddy Cho and Ver M. Garcia

How many sides (some call it angle) does a story have? In a particular road mishap one might say that there are two sides of a story (the side of the Victim & the assailant or the offender). But in an actual scenario we have the 4 sides of a Road Mishap (story) : (1) the side of the Victim, (2) the Offender or Assailant  (3) the side of the Proper authorities Witnesses  & the Media (4)Your sides Own version this could also be the Publics own interpretation. What’s your own version of the story after a careful study and analysis. 

The task of the media (print, broadcast, cyber) is to report the story w/ précised accuracy as much as possible based on eye witness account of the people in an incident, including the investigators as well. But if investigators & authorities doesn’t want to  cooperate  and  coordinate, it’s up to the Media to study the incident/event carefully putting attention to every single detail that might have been overlooked. 

Sometimes, the victim doesn’t want to provide the right information perhaps because of shock and trauma, fear, confusion - that’s quite understandable but at times the proper authority which we relied upon provides conflicting  info needed to put  the story into a proper perspective. The offender at times for fear of being apprehended do not provide the exact details, biases, arrogance  becomes a hindrance.

The conditions  of  the  victim of a road mishap is aggravated especially when nobody wants to provide a detailed account of what happened or sometimes ignorance of the victims emotional, physical and psychological well-being can be contributing factor as well. This reminds us of the bible passage In The Book of GENESIS “Am I my Brother’s Keeper ”? YES you are!

Morale of the story  : Pray before leaving your house; Choose to be brave take charge and accept  responsibility ; the opposite of Love  is not hate nor anger but  INDIFFERENCE, translation  ( walang pakialam  sa Mundo). (VerGarciaBlogs)

FACTIONS IS IT PRODUCTIVE?
By: Ted Cho


How does Webster dictionary defines the 'word factions'? The first positive definition is.. it's a noun, a television program, film or literary works, comprising a dramatized presentation of actual events and.. The second negative definition is.. it's also a noun and a political party (used always in a bad sense); misguided party spirit.

The definition connotes that it is a noun.. Would you like translate it into a verb of action?

In addition, the first world war and the second world war gave birth to factions within human institutions and the Holy Bible confirms such statement.

The factions within political parties and government institutions particularly within the Philippine scenario, is a game being played by foreign powers who are bent  on establishing chaos to foment order and or to establish order just to foment a chaotic situation. It is both a question and a declaration..

Andres Bonifacio and other participants of the 121 years anniversary of the KKK.. at the Bahay Nakpil in Quiapo, Manila, Philippines. Also present in photo is Mam Ester Azurin, great grand daughter of our National hero Dr. Jose Rizal. Not in photo is Yolanda De Castro Cabuco, a medtech and a graduate at the UST, also a great grand daughter of Gat. Andres Bonifacio.

The controversial issues between revolutionary leader Emilio Aguinaldo and Gat. Andres Bonifacio (The Magdiwangs of Bonifacio  and the Magdalo Group of Aguinaldo) today are significant and perennial aspects of current socio-economic political milieu. The question that arises now is .. have we learned anything from that factions or have other progressive first world countries converted the challenge into a positive perennial socio-economic political environment? Lastly, thus the saying goes.. There is no other love that is greater and noble than the love of one's nation and to lay down your life to achieve its goal..

WHAT YOU REAP.. YOU WILL SOW

GREAT EVENT STARTS IF YOU PLANT...


By.. Alan Talens

A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN WAS GROWING OLD AND KNEW IT WAS TIME TO CHOOSE A SUCCESSOR to take over the business. Instead of choosing one of his directors or his children, he decided to do something different.He calledall the young executives in his company together. He said, "It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO. I have decided to choose one of you." The young executives were shocked, but the boss continued." I am going to give each one of you a SEED today - one very special SEED. I want you to plant the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from the seed I have given you. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next CEO"One man, named JUAN was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed. He went home and excitedly, told his wife the story. She helped him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted the seed. Everyday, he would water it and watch to see if it had grown. After about three weeks, some of the other executives began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow. JUAN kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew. Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing. By now, others were talking about their plants, but JUAN didn't have a plant and he felt like a failure. Six months went by--still nothing in JUAN's pot.

He just knew he had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing. JUAN didn't say anything to his colleagues, however. He just kept watering and fertilizing the soil - He so wanted the seed to grow. A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company brought their plants to the CEO for inspection. JUAN told his wife that he wasn't going to take an empty pot. But she asked him to be honest about what happened.

JUAN felt sick at his stomach, it was going to be the most embarrassing moment of his life, but he knew his wife was right. He took his empty pot to the boardroom. When JUAN arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown by the other executives. They were beautiful---in all shapes and sizes. JUAN put his empty pot on the floor and many of his colleagues laughed, a few felt sorry for him!

When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young executives. JUAN just tried to hide in the back. "My, what great plants, trees, and flowers you have grown," said the CEO. "Today one of you will be appointed the next CEO!" All of a sudden, the CEO spotted JUAN at the back of the room with his empty pot. He ordered the financial director to bring him to the front.

JUAN was terrified. He thought, "The CEO knows I'm a failure. Maybe he will have me fired!" When JUAN got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened to his seed - JUAN told him the story. The CEO asked everyone to sit down except JUAN. He looked at JUAN, and then announced to the young executives, "Behold your next Chief Executive! His name is JUAN!"

JUAN couldn't believe it. JUAN couldn't even grow his seed. How could he be the new CEO the others said? Then the CEO said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone in this room a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds; they were dead - it was not possible for them to grow. All of you, except JUAN, have brought me trees and plants and flowers.

When you found that the seed would not grow, you substituted another seed for the one I gave you. JUAN was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it. Therefore,he is the one who will be the new Chief Executive!"



· If you plant honesty, you will reap trust

· If you plant humility, you will reap greatness

· If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment

· If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective

· If you plant hard work, you will reap success

· If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation

· If you plant faith, you will reap a harvest

So, be careful what you plant now; it will determine what you will reap later. For more lessons and guidance call me +639215869888 anytime anywhere! Best Regards, Alan Talens

THE ANGELS BROUGHT ME HERE IN TEARS

Tears of Unsatisfied

Poetry By: Michael Vallejos Zacarias

Days have deserted by
and my heart is in ruined; 
no one seems to heal
the heartaches i felt inside.
A countless tears stumbled
in the eyes of the broken heart;
yet, it vanished the wound inside.
Several times I hid to cry
but, heart remained unsatisfied.
I often told the shadow behind me;
but when my eyes winked,
suddenly it gone and melted away.
I‘d turned around
and then i saw a shadow
it was my eyes bleeding while crying.

In my lonesome nights
tears constantly revealed;
that seems my life dying.
I looked around in a solemn side
and looked up in a spotted area;
there i saw an angel crying;
there was a mirror
and my assurance reflected there.

I dreamed and walked by the shadow
and it was a face viewed towards me.
I was scared while i looked up him;
but, it was my self-looking up the mirror.
I run as fast as i can;
there, an angel poured
the tears that fell in my eyes.

Satisfaction, wherefore art thou?
Make my tears stop flowing;
so my true- love passion will flicker.
You know my love and care are both infinite;
and the mask of nightfall has been removed;
still, wilt thou leave me unsatisfied?
