5. When you say, 'I'm sorry,' look the person in the eye.

The Hultman-Chapman Murder Case
The Hultman-Chapman murder case was a murder case that gained wide publicity in the Philippines during the early 1990's. This is due to the fact that Claudio Teehankee, Jr., the perpetrator of the crime, was the son of the late former Chief Justice Claudio Teehankee, Sr. and the brother of former Justice Undersecretary Manuel Teehankee. The case helped sway the public view and lawmakers on crime and restore the death penalty in the Philippines.
Court records show that Roland John Chapman, Maureen Hultman, and another friend, Jussi Leino, were coming home from a party at around three o'clock in the morning of July 13, 1991. Leino was walking Hultman home along Mahogany street in Dasmariñas Village, Makati City when Teehankee came up behind them in his car. He stopped the two and demanded that they show some identification. Leino took out his wallet and showed Teehankee his Asian Development Bank ID. Teehankee grabbed the wallet. Chapman, who was waiting in a car for Leino, stepped in and asked Teehankee: “Why are you bothering us?” Teehankee drew out his gun and shot Chapman in the chest, killing him instantly. After a few minutes, Teehankee shot Leino, hitting him in the jaw. Then he shot Hultman on the temple before driving away. Leino survived and Hultman died two months later in hospital due to brain hemorrhages caused by the bullet fragments. Teehankee was arrested several days later on the testimony of several witnesses. The witnesses were Domingo Florence and Agripino Cadenas, private security guards, and Vincent Mangubat, a driver, all three being employs of residents of the village.
The Supreme Court of the Philippines, on March 6, 1992, dismissed Teehankee, Jr.'s certiorari petition to annul the trial court's admission of the amended information, the arraignment and appointment of PAO lawyer as counsel de oficio of Teehankee, Jr., inter alia. On December 22, 1992, Judge Job B. Madayag, Makati City Regional Trial Court, Branch 145, convicted Teehankee, Jr. The Supreme Court of the Philippines on October 6, 1995, modified the trial court's decision and found Teehankee, Jr. guilty of murders of Roland John Chapman and Maureen Hultman and sentenced to one count of reclusión perpetua and two counts of reclusión temporal. As of 2006, he was incarcerated for thirteen years at the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City. Teehankee, Jr. was ordered to pay civil indemnity: in Criminal Case No. 91-4605, 50,000.00 Philippine Pesos as indemnity for the Chapman's death; 1,000,000.00 Pesos as moral damages; in Criminal Case No. 91-4606, 50,000.00 Pesos as indemnity for Maureen Navarro Hultman's death; 2,350,461.83 Pesos as actual damages; 564,042.57 Pesos for loss of earning capacity; 1,000,000.00 Pesos as moral damages; and 2,000,000.00 Pesos as exemplary damages; in Criminal Case No. 91-4807, 30,000.00 Pesos as indemnity for Jussi Olavi Leino's injuries; 118,369.84 Pesos and equivalent in Philippine Pesos of U.S.$55,600.00, both as actual damages; 1,000,000.00 Pesos as moral damages; and 2,000,000.00 Pesos as exemplary damages; In all 3 cases, to pay each of 3 offended parties the sum of 1,000,000.00 Pesos for attorney's fees and expenses of litigation.
The killings of Chapman and Hultman, together with other notable heinous crimes such as the murder of Eldon Maguan and the Vizconde massacre caused the Philippine Congress to restore the death penalty in the Philippines in 1993. The imposition of the death penalty had been suspended with the enactment of the 1987 Philippine Constitution. The death penalty would again be barred in the Philippines after legislation to that effect was passed in 2006.
On October 6, 2008, Raul M. Gonzalez confirmed Claudio Teehankee Jr.'s release from prison by virtue of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo' commutation of sentence: "Everything went by the rules here. His [Teehankee’s] records have been reviewed by the Board of Pardons and Parole before a recommendation was given to the President." Raul M. Gonzalez further stated that: “I would assume that he already paid the civil liabilities.” Philippine Daily Inquirer reported about P15 million as total damages. NBP Supt. Ramon Reyes said Teehankee was released based on "good conduct time allowance," or GCTA: “The release of Mr. Teehankee underwent a rigorous review and it was signed by the Secretary of Justice, Raul Gonzalez.”
It is not unusual for rich and influential Filipinos (and their relatives) to get pardon in the Philippines. Ambassador Manuel Antonio Teehankee, Philippine representative to the World Trade Organization, stated that his brother Teehankee, Jr. "has also already entered several years back with the financial settlement with the Hultmans." Further, Gonzalez admitted that Manuel's "reminder" was major factor in the release: "Three weeks ago bago umalis iyan (Manuel)...umalis sa Switzerland, dumaan sa office ko, hopefully sabi niya baka sakaling mapalaya ang kapatid niya (Three weeks ago, before leaving for Switzerland, Teehankee's brother went to my office and said hopefully I can facilitate his brother's release)."

Guardian Angel (by: Red Jumpsuit Apparatus)
When I see your smile Tears run down my face I can't replace And now that I'm strong I have figured out How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one
I will never let you fall I'll stand up with you forever I'll be there for you through it all Even if saving you sends me to heaven
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. Seasons are changing And waves are crashing And stars are falling all for us Days grow longer and nights grow shorter I can show you I'll be the one
I will never let you fall (let you fall) I'll stand up with you forever I'll be there for you through it all (through it all) Even if saving you sends me to heaven
Cuz you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart Please don't throw that away Cuz I'm here for you Please don't walk away and Please tell me you'll stay woah, stay woah
Use me as you will Pull my strings just for a thrill And I know I'll be okay Though my skies are turning gray
I will never let you fall I'll stand up with you forever I'll be there for you through it all Even if saving you sends me to heaven [to fade]

PBK 0ct0ber O4-O5, 2OO8
2nd Day, Last Break. Umakyat ako sa talagang pwesto namin, dun sa 3rd Level Bleacher malapit sa Old Stage. Naisip kong habang break, mas masarap matulog kesa kumain. Pag kumain ka, magastos. Bibili ka ng food, bibili ka ng drinks. Isa pa, pag kumain ka, kailangan mo mag-CR maya-maya. Abala sa teksto, hassel pa pumila. Kaya nung sinabi ni Brod Mel na break muna, iniwan ko muna si Sis Rhea, sabi ko matutulog muna ko. Niyaya nya ko kumain, sabi ko, matutulog na lang ako.
Pag akyat ko sa pwesto namin ni Sis George, nakita kong wala na ang mga gamit nya. Binuksan ko ang bag ko at hinanap ang celphone baka nagtext, at nakita ko nga ang text nya, "Sis, dun na ko pupwesto sa mga ka-lokal ko ha, may bkante na kasi dun." (more or less) Nahiya naman ako kay sis George, kasi iniwan ko sya dun, sabi ko kasi bibili lang ako ng lumpiang sariwa pero di na ko bumalik. Dun na ako pumwesto sa area nila sis Rhea, mas malamig kasi may "mist". Anyway, wala na kong magagawa kundi mag reply ng "Pasensya na sis. Kita kits na lang po sa opis! Hapi PBK po uli!Ü"
Inayos ko ang hihigaan ko at tahimik na nahiga at umidlip. Kahit maingay at nagkakalabugan ang bakal na hinihigaan ko dahil sa mga kapatid na paroo't-parito, nakuha ko paring makatulog. Sa init at sa pagod siguro. Mga 30 minutes siguro akong naka-idlip at nagising akong pawisan ang leeg. Nakita kong may isang brod na nakaupo sa paanan ko. Kumakain ng sopas. Sinuot ko ang salamin ko at tiningnan ko sya. Sabi nya, "Oy sis, kain ka muna." Kinuha ko ang iniabot nyang sopas. "Salamat po sa Dios brod." Sinimulan ko nang halu-haluin at ihip-ihipan ang napaka-init na sopas. Hindi ko makain.
"San si…" *Di sinabi ang name*
"Bumaba po."
"Ganun ba."
"Opo brod."
*Tahimik*
"Kamusta po brod?"
"Hmm?"
"Kamusta ko kayo."
"Kami? Ahm, ok naman."
"Ah hindi po. Kayo po. Kamusta po kayo. Yung pagmamanggagawa po ninyo."
"Ayos naman."
"Hindi po ba mahirap?"
"Hindi."
"Ano po bang manggagawa na kayo, sa KNC po ba, Half-timer o…"
"Regular?"
"Regular po ba tawag dun."
"Half-timer."
"Matagal po ba maging regular."
"Mga 4-5 years."
"Ganun po ba, matagal po pala yun."
*Tahimik* Napansin kong mauubos na ang sopas nung kausap ko samantalang yun sakin, palibhasa kasisimula ko pa lang kainin dahil nga mainit, eh wala pa sa kalahati. Ang sarap nung sopas. May kinchay.
"Kilala nyo po ba si brod…" *Sinabi ko yung name*
"Ay, oo kilala ko yun. Matandang manggagawa na yun."
"Lagi ko po kasing kasabay sa tricycle yun eh. Naka-kwentuhan ko lang po minsan."
"Oh?"
"Katulad nyo rin ba sya na mga ilang araw lang matapos ma-bautismuhan pumasok na ng aralan?"
"Isang buwan muna kasi ang lumipas bago nagbukas ng aralan samin matapos ako mabautismuhan eh. Nabautismuhan kasi ako June. So, mga July – August, mga ganun."
"Mmm… Kasi si brod po mga 4 days o 5 days lang after nya malubog nagmanggagawa na."
"Nakasama ko na yan dati. Magaling yan."
"Anu-ano po mga challenges nung nagmanggagawa kayo?"
"Wala naman masyado. Sa awa't tulong nagagawa ko naman yung mga iniuutos sakin."
"Ganun naman kasi, basta masaya kayo sa ginagawa nyo, hindi nyo na napapansin na mahirap naman talaga kung tutuusin, yung mga tasks nyo."
*Tumango lang*
"Eh si brod B1
"Si brod B2!? Oo, kilala ko yun."
"Hindi po, brod B1 po, hindi B2"
"Ah B1, oo kilala ko rin yun."
"Sya po kasi yung manggagawa ng District KKTK dati."
"Nakita ko po sya kanina eh."
"Ah talaga."
"Opo. Nakita ko sya, binati ko ng hapi pbk.Hindi nya ata ako natatandaan."
"Baka nagulat lang. Mabait naman yun eh."
"Siguro nga nagulat lang, tinitigan lang nya ko sa mukha mga ilang seconds tapos sabi nya, OY. Tapos umalis na po ako. Nagmamadali po kasi kami nun kanina papuntang stage para sa pasalamat ng KKTK"
"Si brod B1… oo kilala ko yun. Nakasama ko na yun dati eh."
"San na po ba sya ngayon?"
"Naku, malayo, district 5. Sa Mindoro assign yun e."
"Anlayo po pala. Hehe, san po ba yung Mindoro?"
*Sinabi nya kung pano pumunta dun… Bangka… Barko… Trak… Ewan… Diko nagets*
"Ang hirap po pala pumunta run."
"Hindi naman. Every month nagkikita kami nyan eh, pag may Division Meeting ang mga workers."
"Ah talaga po."
"Oo. Masipag yan."
"Oo nga po. Yan nga po yung masipag mag-teksto samin noon tungkol sa pagsinta eh."
*Tumawa lang*

i got my new dress today. although i wore an orange polo to hide some skin cuz the dress is a preggy-look-supagetti-strappy. i was just thinkin of walking by the bay wearing this dress of course without the orange top with someone. i think it was franklin i was thinkin. hmm. welll, im 30 minutes late in our batch's meeting place at atc but as soon as i get there talking never seem to stop. its been a week since one by one asp peeps, specially in our group of friends at the camp is one by one being pulled out to go training for inbound. it was tina first and then joseph and bunny. last friday, it was kaith, grace, marj and me. yep, i am starting my first day of training this monday, 11am to 8pm, training room F or B. and so bunny and his hubby decided to have this photoshoot on this day. and when i arrived at the meeting place super talkies. maybe we just miss each other that much.
after some chat went into my phone and checked if someone spared to give me a message. frank just gime that beep and with what kind of message. "where are you, wala ka man lang text, what are you up to" maybe i was born with a bad eye. i realized i misunderstood the statement. i replied very annoyed with "photoshoot nga kme, i informed you kahapon and this morning and now your asking as if im doing something bad" then he replied "wag lagyan ng emotion ang message, hindi naman yun ang ibig ko sabihin." then from out of nowhere i said i wanted to watch a movie at festi. then he dint textback. my malicious mind thought "walang rep, baka inisip na wrong send lang ako, miscall ko nga" tas nagrep "bukas na lang. ines dami kong gawa may dinner kasi mamaya, alis na kse kben bukas" na-high-blood ako. tears developing in my eyes kanina sa shakeys. mark just called the attention of the group saying "oh, hindi na naman natin maramdaman si april" i forced myself to smile hoping theyll not notice i was teary-eyed that time. oh such a chichiri. after that pulastic smile i fumingly texted his latest message back. "bukas? sana "d2 nalang? dinner kasi alis na kben tom" and then he never texted back.
our group left the place and set ourselves to muntinlupa for the photoshoot with a three vehicle convoy. when we reached the venue, i was still drowned with my mind's badness. but i mpretended very well none of them noticed im in a trance. inside the studio i took off my orange polo and all of them was whoa. wait for the pictures im going to post some of it here. i really love my asp peeps. too bad we need to leave and some be left in that old camp. our photos were brilliant and nice. we left the venue and off to go home.
i was riding the jeep when i decided to unlock once again the blood pressure im strugling to confine in my mind. i cried slowly and unnoticingly inside that ride. i sinked my self with the thoughts o f "i dont deserve this" i have this hopes na magiging maayos ang buhay ko pag si frank uli. but its like 51-49 convincing stat for my self. i trusted that letter he gave me when i and my nen were just 5 days old. that if it takes the wirld to get me back he'll give the universe. that letter with such a powerful conviction of "bumalik kalang and i'll take it from there" i decided to confront him once and for all. and i was just way too emotional. confront him for what? treating me like shit. says who, my stubborn, malicious emotional self?
at dahil nga hindi naman kami, well, parang kami na hindi. duh, weve been together for almost seven years, hello?! and right now, officially were not. ive been living myself alone. i want to receive the attention i was getting when i was with my nen. with his provocative line for f "dika kasi marunong mag-alaga" sometimes i agree with that statement. its been more that twice im setting some steps for him to follow to point out to what i want to happen so i can have the feeling i wanna feel. hindi ko alam kung inlove pa ba ako sa kanya o masaya lang talaga pero one thing's for sure, feeling ko tumatanda ako ng paurong. gusto kong kiligin. gusto kong matuwa. gusto kong maging masaya. gusto kong maging magaan ang feeling. gusto kong humalakhak. gusto ng ice cream. gusto ko ng movie. gusto ko ng kanta. gusto ko ng text message na pssst or hello lang to gimme some smile. gusto ko ng kausap, kausap na seryosohan, kausap na kulitan, kausap na laitan, kausap tungkol sa mga pangarap. gusto ko ng karamay. gusto ko ng kakampi. gusto ko ng love. at kung ito ang depinisyon ko ng love, maituturing ba akong childish?
lagi ko naman syang tinetext ala namang reply. alam ko namang hindi nya sinasadya yun. kasi pag free naman sya nakukuha nya akong itex. pero wala syang load, kaya niloadan ko muna. ala parin kasi mahirap ang map, first ever ata ang case. ngayon naman busy sa bahay nila. lagi nalang akong huli sa mga priorities. hindi ko naman sinabing unahin ako ah, ang sakin lang, sana kahit busy at punung-puno ang utak, he can manage to stop just for a while and ask me kumusta nako, na maramdaman ko kahit he's super busy, the thought of me/us gives him the smiles to face the troubles of the day. i really feel left out. ako na lang ang laging tumatawag. ako na lang ang laging nauunang mag text. ako na lang ang nauunang mag i love you. and sometimes i really feel stupid pag nag a i love you ako and he dont answer me back, sa text, sa phone, sa gate. hindi na daw ata essential. kasi nagkabf nako ng iba? kasi may buwang dumaan na hindi na kami nagsabihan ng ganun? na baka niloloko ko lang daw ang sarili ko pag sinabi ko yun sa kanya? tanong, why do i feel stupid? hindi ba ko sincere nung sinabi ko yun? kasi kung mag a ilove you ka, sasabihin mo yun kasi yuo feel it and not because youre expecting the other person to answer back, diba? why do i feel stupid?? its because i was hallucunating i can bring the dead back to life. ang natibag na asca to its stregnth as if it was scratchless.
"ano bang gusto mong mangyari" and "ayoko na" nothing more. nothing less. but when he asked me bakit daw ako "sumugod" nang walang pasabi, natameme na naman ako. bakit nga ba? i was todo cryin pa sa tricycle kanina. pupuntahan daw nya ko sa bahay later para mag usap. he was just doing something at that moment na hindi nya maiwan. sinamahan nya kong maglakad palabas ng street, sabi ko im walking my way home. sabi nya sumakay ka na. naglakad lang ako. pumara ng trike at pinasakay nya ko dun, sabay sabi sa drayber, rosario. nung malapit na, sabi ko sa drayber, "ma, pacita na lang" at heto andito ako nag tatayp.
gudlak sa mangyayari sakin paguwi ko at sa pag tutuos naming uli. goodluck!

sa isip as in ngayon? -praning.com
well, ipopost ko nga dito diba. at shempre mababasa mo.
enways, ito ang nasa isip ko. im just wondering kung may surprise ba o wala akong matatanggap this valentine's day. meron kayang nag pareserve ng concert ni jay-r at kyla (ngyek) o kaya naman may nag pabook ng isang dinnerdate sa manila bay cruises. O baka may dadaan samin at may dala-dala syang dvd ng the notebook o kaya notting hill para panooorin namin together. nabili ko na yung the notebook at notting hill nayan, nagka stampede na sa ultra, housemate sa bahay ni kuya iba na wala ka pa...
haha. what to expect. ano nga ba yun, if it takes the world to get you back i'll give you the universe to make you stay forever?
i feel soooooooooooo alone. ganun din si never ever hesitate to contact me if you need something especially pagmamahal. tempting.
nung sunday nga, pumunta akong festi. may naka sabay ako sa jeep, mag-jowa. they look very happy. nainggit naman si ako. si girl, smiling sweet, niyayakap si lalake kahit pda na, gustung-gusto ni lalake. they just look happy, contented and inlove. nakuha pa nilang matulog sa jeep kahit super lapit na ng festival mall. nainggit talaga ako pramis. sa inggit nga tears went out of my eyes. i just miss my old self.
pag dating ko ng mall, andun si john lloyd at bea at sam dahil mall tour kuno. dami tao. kainis. sabi pa nung nasa likod when i pass through the mob papunta sa kabilang wing "ku, baka mawowowee tayo dito" buti naman at hindi.
naku ha, mamaya may magyaya saking manood ng movie ni john lloyd ha! hehe, naalala ko tuloy yung dubai. tsaka yung hunk(kerchief?) na nag-aya sakin na manood ng now that i have you (tugisan-sa-mrt story ni jLc at bea parin) such a sweet and martyr (? babarilin sa luneta!) guy that was. imagine, asking me to watch a movie (that he thinks i'll surely enjoy kasi andun si jLc) for my happiness' sake but deep inside he bleeds cuz he knows jLc reminds me of my gr8est love.
kaninang umaga, nagising ako 6am, maliwanag na sa labas. one crazy idea came into my mind. nen and i were sharing each earphone of an mp3 player inside the mrt shuttle to ortigas. it was Cool by Gwen Stefani, and i think it was feb 14 and nag-halfday sya sa work. we're going to have breakfast at the roofdeck of prestige tower sa emerald ave, ortigas.

Filipino has plenty in midst of his misery
In better or normal times the average Filipino was known to be living in poverty in the midst of plenty.
The country has always been known to be one of the richest in natural resources. It is a tropical paradise where the sun shines virtually the year round and any food crop can grow, even fruits and vegetables in a family?s front as well as backyards.
One big reason why the average Filipinos or common ?tao? was poor even when money could buy a lot more than it can today was that he was wasteful. A low-income family in a small town or barrio would usually what remained of its poultry in piggery to celebrate the traditional fiesta.
The average Filipino probably celebrates more fiestas in a year outside of town and barrio fiestas, such as New Year at the start of every year, Valentine?s Day in February, school graduation day in March, more holidays in April and May, school opening in June, more red-letter days in July to October, All Saints Day in November 1 and in December Christmas before December 25 and after.
The political as well as the financial turmoils in the last three decades of the last century have exacerbated the Filipino?s dilemma of having to live in misery in the midst of potential wealth. The currency storm in the late ?90s plus the series of oil crises caused by OPEC?s upward price adjustments have caused havoc on the Philippine economy and made life harder for the low income groups of the population.
It is therefore encouraging to see Pres. Macapagal-Arroyo pushing her bold reform program to attack the poverty dilemma on several fronts: cutting on government spending and borrowing; increasing promoting export; and more balanced development as spelled out in GMA?s medium-term program.
This has to be supported by an honest to goodness legislative action by Congress and genuine austerity or doing away with waste consumption by all sectors of the population.

Hindi nga ako katulad ni shards. Sabi nga ng mga taga-tangkilik ng blog nya, iba na talaga ang nagagawa ng isang taong inspired. Sinisipag maglahad ng mga nasasaloobin. Sinisipag mag-type.
Ewan ko ba kung bakit hindi ako sinisipag mag-post ng entries dito sa blog ko. Inspired naman ako. Ewan ko ba kung bakit lagi akong tinatamad. Kulang siguro ako sa exercise (makapag-gym na nga lang). O baka naman wala lang time at mas pinipili ko na lang matulog kesa mag-net.

 You're a Summer. You're just a ball of energy that is constantly going on and on!! You're kinda like the energizer bunny. lol. But your probably really athletic and even if you're not, you'd be good in sports because of all your energy. You're enthusiastic about everything you do and find it hard not to be happy. You're usually pretty optimistic but can be realistic when needed. You always hope for the best to turn out and many times they do. Sometimes though, you let your temper get the best of you but you apologize as soon as you can because you hate people being angry with you. You're friends love how active you are and you make them feel like they can do anything crazy if they want to. What season are you? (pics) brought to you by Quizilla
