Just Asking
In the recent meeting of the Regional Development
Council (RDC) in Daet, Camarines Norte, one of the
agenda was a resolution of the RDC 8 requesting the
Philippine Ports Authority(PPA) and the Maritime
Industry Authority(MARINA) to immediately
devise and implement an effective queuing system
at the Port of Matnog in Sorsogon.
The resolution cited three reasons for the
request: 1. The backlog in boarding and loading
of container and delivery trucks which takes
about a week or two since January this year due
to congestion at the port; 2. The delays cause
concomitant delays in government projects,
escalation of prices of construction materials,
basic goods and commodities, as well as providing
opportunities for corruption among traffic and port
personnel; and 3. Their effect on the already poor
economic performance of the Eastern Visayas
region.
We understand the sentiment of the Eastern
Visayan officials. They had just been through
Yolanda and any delay in the transportation of goods
and services to the region will have its multiplier
effect on the economic lives of their people. That
is why, we join their concern, especially on the
corruption of some personnel at the port whom
truckers have long been complaining about. We
remember a story of a parishioner in Quezon City
who complained that when their group who were
going to Tacloban to help in the post-Haiyan rehab,
they were similarly offered such easy passage by a
PPA personnel if , you know, as he opened one
tier of his drawer in the office, filled with crumpled
peso bills.
What we are also concerned about is, how come
it is the RDC 8 who initiated such resolution? The
locus of the problem is in Matnog, i.e. in Region
V. Why didnt the RDC 5 act on this beforehand?
The writing is on the wall, the RDC 5 is looking
somewhere else. Garo makasupog ini ta garo
sinabihan kita kan satong kataid na linigon an
satong natad.
Is it because the PPA and MARINA themselves
in Bicol are remiss, negligent or uncaring about
the problem? The passage of the resolution by the
RDC 8 is already an answer to our question. Res
ipsa loquitor. These agencies have been clearly
sitting on their jobs.
Modern technology has made our lives much
easier. For instance, mobile phones could be used
to monitor the schedule or volume of traffic in
the port. Perhaps, trucking companies can have
halfway stations in Sorsogon or Albay where they
could temporarily stay while traffic is starting
to build up. This is certainly what RDC 8 has in
mind when they asked the PPA and MARINA for an
effective queuing system.
Anyway, the people at PPA and MARINA are
paid by our taxes. And so we ask, where is the
matuwid na daan?

In comparison, personal income tax
in Thailand is at 35%t (down from 37% in
2010), Vietnam - 35%, Indonesia- 30%,
Malaysia 26% (to be reduced to 25% in
2016), and Singapore 20%. Corporate I/T
in Indonesia and Malaysia 25%, Vietnam
22%t (down from 35% in 2010), Thailand
20% (from 35% in 2010), and Singapore
17%. Phls income tax rates were set in
1997 with adjustments not made frequently
enough to remedy a growing inequity as
more salaried workers pay the highest tax
bracket.
COMPETITIVE: Contrary to popular
view that reducing corporate and personal
tax rates will decrease
government
revenues and lead to a deficit, international
finance officials believe reducing these
rates will increase investment and trade
with higher revenues generated from lower
corporate and personal income taxes. If
personal income taxes are reduced
workers will have more purchasing power
which will stimulate the economy and
thereby raise the standards of living of the
people.

Barbecue, Anyone?
Thats me. Its been three months or even four since Iast
wrote my pell mell at any rate, here I am, still alive and by
Gods grace, still kicking.
At any rate, I have been keeping watch over my grandsons
small business at home. Supported by their Mom, Y and Z.
19 and 18 years old, respectively put up a Barbequehan, et
al in our garden. So far, it is picking up. They open at three
oclock in the afternoon. While Y is in school pursuing Hotel
and Restaurant Management in the local university, Z runs the
small business full time. He is out of school this semester and
hopes to while his time away and make a little.
Other than barbecue products of all kinds, namely: pure
meat at P10.; chicken head or helmet at P4.00; chicken feet
or adidas at P3.00; isaw or IUD at P3.00; pork taba at P2.00;
hotdog at P3.00., also available are kikiam, and a best seller
among kids are cheese sticks. Piso-piso lang.
Operating a small barbeque business means hard work.
Their Mom has to go to the market with one of the boys daily
to buy the necessary items to be sold. Isaw has to be cooked
well with vinegar and a lot of spices. It is same thing with
chickens head and feet which have to be made into adobo
first before they are barbecued. Now, I understand why they
are delicious and fit for eating. l Achara made of papaya and
a lot of spices as well as hot and sweet sauces have to be
prepared very well.
There are still things to be considered even with just a small
home businessthe stuff: pork, hotdog, kikiam, cheese, lumpia
wrappers, barbecue sticks, soy sauce, vinegar, spices and many
more. Charcoal which is primarily used in doing the barbecue
now commands a high price at the rate of P450 a sack.
Now, I understand how business gets started with many
things to bear in mindtime, effort and capital. Plus the fact
that the food to be served must be very well prepared.
Well, at the end of the day, there is something to count.
My grandsons friends come over to feast on our deliciously
and very sanitarily served food. Btw, we also have ice-cold
black gulaman to make the eating complete. And also good
music courtesy of the internet.

Love of Wisdom
The etymology of the word philosophy is based on two Greek
words phylos and sophie, which mean to love and wisdom,
respectively. Hence, philosophy literally means the love of
wisdom. As an intellectual and academic discipline, philosophy
can be divided into five main branches:
1.) Metaphysics - study of existence. It seeks to answer the
question of what is out there.
2.) Epistemology - study of knowledge. Logic and all natural
sciences belong to this category. It seeks to answer the questions
of how do we know about things, what are the things that are
knowable and how can we know the validity of our knowledge.
3.) Ethics - the study of human actions in relation to individuals
and society. It is both normative and descriptive in its approach
when it comes to seeking answers to questions of morals or the
concept of good and bad actions.
4.) Politics literally means the study of the polis or city. It
seeks to understand the relationship dynamics and exercise of
influence or power of individuals or groups on society.
5.) Esthetics study of beauty and art. It seeks to answer the
question of what can be considered beautiful.
I think the beauty of philosophy is its open invitation for us to go
out of the comfort zones of our fundamental and most cherished
beliefs, not necessarily with the intention of abandoning these
beliefs (although it could happen) but to try to reexamine them
under the light of critical thinking and reason. In the process,
we could enrich our beliefs, faith or ideology and become less
susceptible to cognitive inconsistencies, bigotry, narrow-minded
views and intellectual insecurities. Philosophy attempts to
address the deepest and most fundamental questions about
every possible issues in the universe of ideas.
Philosophical inquiries are mainly about trying to probe the
truth values of ideas or propositions. It is a process of discovery
that oftentimes involves the clash of opposing ideas. In classic
Socratic Method, philosophy is a dialectical process of asking
questions and comparing theses with their anti-theses with the
hope of creating new and better ideas or syntheses.
Unfortunately, some syntheses are the results of literal
violent clashes. For example, the historical origin of the idea of
secularism evolved from the bloody religious wars, particularly
the wars among the Catholic and Protestant monarchial states
in Europe during the Reformation. Another example of a violent

and creaking of the boat, in the flying white sprays dousing them
to the bone, sea travel offers a rare, unforgettable experience.
In my early years when I roamed distant places in search of
adventure,I would prefer the boat to the bus. Stormy seas would
keep me at the edge of my seat in pure joy, unmindful of the real
danger of getting to the bottom of the sea.
When one is young, one has less fear of the unknown.
I spent my early years in Paniman, a coastal barrio facing
northern Catanduanes, its mountains clearly visible during fair
weather.Every summer vacation,I would cross the wide Maqueda
Channel in a frail sailboat with relatives to visit Uncle Santos.
Sometimes, the trip would take l2 hours.There were no fast motor
crafts in those days.
Once, the ruddle broke while Uncle Pedio and I were in the
middle of a foamy sea, miles from shore. It was late afternoon.Our
tiny boat sailed in circles as the waves battered the sides.While
he fixed the ruddle, I held the sail tightly to keep it steady.
After an eternity, the wayward ruddle was in place to our relief.
In Legazpi City where I live with my retired teacher wife, my
two sons are out of the country,I rarely travel to Caramoan or to
my wifes hometown in Catanduanes. I have enough of my days
on the go, when nothing could hold me back from wandering.
The completion of the highway to Caramoan has awakened my
desire to visit the hometown by land. What are the sights to feast
my eyes on along the way? What would I find in my birthplace?
Would I find my childhood?
But no doubt, this will be an excellent time to reminisce.
Perhaps, the memories of my childhood will come rushing back,
who knows.

synthesis of clashing ideas was the Bolshevik Revolution
in 1912 in Russia. It was the clash between the old idea of
privileged classes (absolute monarchy and nobility) and the idea
of proletariat dictatorship.
The bloody wars and revolutions based on the clash of ideas
are painful reminders that wisdom is sometimes learned the
hard way. These are lessons learned out countless sufferings
and deaths. On the other hand, human society is arguably now
better off than before in terms of social justice (e.g., human
rights, civil liberties, and equality) but the attainment of collective
true wisdom still seems to be very elusive that we tend to repeat
some of our historical blunders.
It seems that the best way to teach and remind humanity
of the lessons of the past is for it to be forced at the edge of a
precipice, staring at the abyss. Sometimes wisdom can also be
born out of fear. Some of our best hopes and aspirations for the
future are the result of our epiphany when we are pushed at the
edge of despair.
Philosophy is not merely a sanitized and indifferent intellectual
or academic pursuit. It is a force that shapes human history.
The love of wisdom is not something that is confined in an ivory
tower but rather it is something that needs to be sowed in the
muddy fields.
