      In the past, the term cyber-terrorism has been used to describe the martyr who served as a watchdog for global terrorism, yet then now it's growing and overflowing, due to the fruit of neglect. The result is the destructive change of our climate, destruction of homes, disintegration of families, and critical losses in the economy.

   Good leadership is always in question. But what's important is to stay vigilant. It is in everyone's mind. Although there is a threat of global conflict, corruption, piracy of invention and of intellectual property, and artificial intelligence (AI). which causes mental breakdown and sanity of the mind and to maintain the sanity of the mind, we must believe in God as our Creator.

   According to the account of manager Edith Guerrera of Dona Josefa apartment. She accounted that their neighbors had seen smoke and fumes coming from Room 603 and the incident came to the knowledge of the brave police of  Manila assigned to Precinct Station no.9 (Intel Unit).

  In an interview on January 6, 1995. Manager Edith Guerrera of Dona Josefa apartment called Police Station No. 9, near the Manila Zoo. The neighbors were alarmed by the fumes and smoke coming from Room 603 of the Dona Josefa Apartment.  After that, Major Aida Fariscal received a call from the concerned manager Mrs. Edith. The five (5) policemen were quickly dispatched: SPO2 Benjamin P. Abad, Senior Inspector Pedro S. Arsenio Jr., PO1 Edgardo Alvarez, PO3 Armando Arce and their Chief Intel leader, Major Aida Fariscal. The fire occurred at around eleven o'clock in the evening at the Doña Josefa apartment in room number 603. Major Aida D. Fariscal known as "Wonder Woman" is an expert in chemical analysis. She then dispatched SPO2 Benjamin P. Abad at the elevator, who arrested Abdul Hakim the man who was in the elevator, then SPO2 Abad immediately poked a gun in Hakim's head, to prevent the attempted plan to escape.

P/Lt. Benjamin P. Abad used an improvised handcuffs to subdue Hakim. Then the ensuing fight and skirmishes at the elevator ensued until it was over. The shoestring was taken from a pair of shoes to tie the hands and feet of Abdul Hakim Murad. It occurred at around 2:30 a.m. on the 7th of January 1995. They discovered also chemicals, and liquids used in the manufacture of bombs, explosive watch, three (3) gowns of priests with an overmake of Ramzi Yousef's masks and laptops containing several pieces of information. That was the reason for their arrest of the following suspected terrorists, Mohammed Jamal Khalifa, Wali Khan Amin Shah, and Ramzi Yousef, the bombmaker.

The faithful day of January 7, 1995 was only five days for the scheduled official visit of Pope John Paul II on 12th January 1995 in the Philippines. The room 603 Doña Josefa apartment is approximately 200 meters away from the residence of the Pontiff, and it is the line of sight of a sniper from the route of Pope's motorcade.

Pope John Paul II (Charles Joseph Wojtyla) was a former soldier in Poland during the second world war conflict (World War II) helped bring down communism in Germany and he was also the one who caused the States to have a lien in the Soviet Union of Russia.

In the case of the brave and gallant police officers who arrested international terrorists were given a recognition for their outstanding achievements. They are SPO2 Benjamin P. Abad, Senior Inspector Pedro S. Arsenio Jr., PO1 Edgardo Alvarez, PO3 Armando T. Arce and the fascinating female police Major Aida D. Fariscal joining the helm. The brave and courageous servants of the people were honored by the government of the United States and SPO2 Abad himself  through Counsellor John V. Edinger Embassy of USA in March 1995.

According to Catholic teachings... The terrorism is inhumane. It is against the right justice of no mercy to anyone.

According to Epictatus, a philosopher. "The service of one's own country does not depend on the position It is about the use of spiritual abilities and qualities." The true measure and character of a public servant is how they care for the less fortunate in society. Don't let this change of character ruin one's life., and these are just a few scenarios in the life of P/LT Benjamin P. Abad.

Overcome the difficulties with courage, courage despite the pain, anxiety, and severe anxiety. Succeeded yet also in the mission ahead, thanks to the mysterious hand of God. The service of a true servant will continue as long as he/she lives.

Any public servant must be obedient in the call of duty, with concern, with dedication and with full trust and confidence in the will of God. These are the reasons for which P/Lt. Benjamin P. Abad, a retired Manila police officer, is asking the people for the mandate of his beloved Barangay 308 Zone 30 District III Quiapo, Manila. This corruption should not be allowed whenever the people are united; and cooperating, and should come together, with a sense and desire for peace, and prosperity in our hearts, minds, bodies and souls. Working together to promote the welfare and well-being of Barangay 308. to work together in accordance with the law, according to conscience to spread unity and to be able to support our own industry, and the future generations as well. LET'S THINK GLOBALLY AND LET'S UNITE AS ONE! (VerGarciaBlogs)

ANG KABAYANIHAN NI TATA BENJIE ABAD  NG      BUMISITA ANG SANTO PAPA SA PILIPINAS                   “ANG PAGBABAGO” sa Barangay 308                    May akda: Ver Garcia (News Editor) at Teddy Cho (Photojournalist)

        Bago pa man lumawak ang salitang  cyber terrorism ay meron ng mga bayani at martir na naglingkod bilang taga-pagbantay sa pandaigdigang terorismo, subalit ngayon ito’y lumala na at dumagsa, bunga ng kapabayaan. Ang naging resulta ay ang mapanirang pagbabago ng ating klima, pagkawasak ng mga tahanan, pagkawatak-watak ng pamilya.at pagkalugi sa kabuhayan.

      Ang mabuting pamunuan ay palaging tinutuligsa subalit  ang mahalaga’y mananatiling itong nasa kaisipan ng bawat isa. Bagama’t may banta ng pang-daigdigang labanan, korapsyon, pang-aagaw ng imbensyon at ari-ariang intelektuwal, at artificial intelligence (AI). Na nagdudulot ng pagkasira ng kaisipan at katinuan ng pag-iisip at upang mapanatili ang katinuan ng kaisipan, kailangang manalig tayo sa Diyos na may lalang.

     Ayon sa salaysay ng manager Edith Guerrera ng Dona Josefa apartment at ng mga kapitbahay may naamoy silang masangsang na kemikal matapos na may pumutok at mula sa usok na nakita nila na nanggaling sa Room 603 at ang insidente ay nakarating sa kaalaman ng mga magigiting na pulis Maynila na nakatalaga sa Precinct Station no.9  (Intel Unit).

    Sa isang panayam noong ika-6 ng Enero 1995. Tumawag ang Manager na si Edith Guerrera ng Dona Josefa apartment sa Police Station No. 9, malapit sa Manila Zoo. Naalarma ang mga kapit-bahay dahil sa masangsang na amoy at usok na nanggaling sa Room 603 ng Dona Josefa Apartment. Si Major Aida Fariscal ang nakatanggap ng tawag galing sa nababahalang Manager na si Mrs. Edith. Kaya dali-daling dinispatsa ang limang (5) pulis na sina: SPO2 Benjamin P. Abad, Senior Inspector Pedro S. Arsenio Jr., PO1 Edgardo Alvarez, PO3 Armando Arce at kasama ang kanilang Chief Intel leader na si  Major Aida Fariscal. Ang sunog ay naganap bandang alas-onse ng gabi sa Doña Josefa apartment sa silid numero 603. Si Major Aida D. Fariscal kilala sa tawag na “Wonder Woman” at isang eksperto sa mga kemikal ang sumugod kasama si SPO2 Benjamin P Abad, ang siyang umaresto kay Abdul Hakim Murad (Ahmeed Saeed) ng makasalubong sa elevator ay agad nitong tinutukan ng baril upang mapigilan ang tangkang pagtakas,

     Isang  posas ang ginamit ni P/Lt. Benjamin P. Abad matapos ang sagupaan. Ang nasabing posas ay nag mula sa isang pares na sintas ng sapatos na itinali sa kamay at paa ni Abdul Hakim Murad na naganap ng 2:30 am. ng ika-7 ng Enero 1995. Kasamang  natuklasan din ang mga kemikal, at mga likidong ginagamit sa paggawa ng mga bomba, mga relos na gamit sa pampasabog, tatlong (3) abito na may kasamang mga supistikadong mga maskara at laptop ni Ramzi Yousef na naglalaman ng mga impormasyon na siyang naging dahilan upang maaresto sila Mohammed Jamal Khalifa, Wali Khan Amin Shah, at si Ramzi Yousef, taga-gawa ng bomba.

      Ang araw ng ika-7 ng Enero 1995 ay may limang araw lamang ang pagitan sa pagdalaw ng Santo Papa Pope John Paul II  sa ika-12 ng Enero 1995. Ang room 603 Doña Josefa apartment ay tinatayang may 200 metro lamang ang layo at napaka lapit sa Apostolic Nunciature ng Banal na Residensya ng diplomatikong misyonaryo sa Pilipinas, at ito ay abot-tanaw ng isang sniper mula sa ruta ng motorcade ng Santo Papa.

       Si Pope John Paul II (Karol Jozef Wojtyla) ay dating sundalo sa Poland noong ikalawang pandaigdigang labanan (World War II) ay nakatulong sa pagbagsak ng komunismo sa Alemanya at siya rin ang naging dahilan kung kaya’t nag-karoon ng pagkakakanya-kanya ng mga Estado sa Unyong Soviet ng Russia.

      Sa pamamagitang ng mga magiting at matatapang na mga pulis na umaresto sa internasyunal na terorista ay nabigyan ng pag kilala sina SPO2 Benjamin P. Abad, Senior Inspector Pedro S. Arsenio Jr., PO1 Edgardo Alvarez, PO3 Armando T, Arce at ang nakaka-bilib na babaeng pulis na si Major Aida D. Fariscal na sumakabilang buhay na. Silang mga matatapang at magigiting na nag lingkod sa bayan ay pinarangalan mismo ng pamahalaan ng Estados Unidos sa pamamagitan ni Counsellor John V. Edinger Embassy of USA noong March 1995.

    Ayon sa katuruan ng katoliko… Ang terorismo ay di-makataong gawain. Ito’y laban sa tamang hustisya, walang awa sa sinoman.

    Ayon naman kay Epictatus, isang pilosopo. “Ang paglilingkod sa sariling bansa ay di nakasalalay sa posisyong taglay, ito’y may kinalaman sa paggamit ng mga abilidad at mga katangian pang spiritual”. Ang tunay na sukatan at karakter ng isang lingkod ng bayan ay kung paano nila pagmalasakitan ang mga kapus-palad. Huwag hayaang ang katanyagan ay magpabago sa ating karakter at ito ay iilan lamang sa mga nais iparating sa kabanata ng buhay ni P/LT Benjamin P. Abad.

   Daig ng katapangan, kagitingan ang hadlang sa kabila ng mga pag durusa, pagkabahala/pagkabagabag. Nanagumpay pa rin sa misyong nakaatang, salamat sa misteryosong kamay ng Diyos. Ang paninilbihan  ng isang tunay na lingkod bayan ay patuloy pa rin habang nabubuhay.

    Sinumang lingkod bayan ay nararapat tumalima sa tawag ng tungkulin, kahit saan na may malasakit, may dedikasyon at buong pusong pagtangkilik sa kalooban ng Diyos. Iyan po ang mga kadahilanan ni Ginoong P/Lt. Benjamin P. Abad isang retiradong pulis Maynila kayat sinisikap niyang hilingin sa taong bayan ang mandato ng Barangay 308 Zone 30 Distrito III Quiapo, Manila. Ang pag susumikap ay di mawawalan ng saysay kapag ang mamamayan ay nagkaisa, nagtutulungan, nagsasama-sama, nag-uugnayan para sa isang adhikain, kapayapaan at kaunlaran sa ating puso, kaisipan at kaluluwa. Nagtutulungan upang itaguyod ang kapakanan, kabutihan ng Barangay 308. Magtulungan ng naayon sa batas, ayon sa konsensya para ipalaganap at tangkilikin ang sariling atin, pahalagahan ang sariling industriya upang maproteksyonan ang kinabukasan ng  susunod na mga salin-lahi. THINK GLOBALLY AND UNITE AS ONE! (VerGarciaBlogs)

GREAT WISHES FOR BRINGING BACK UNITY ON LABOR DAY!

 

TIM DEJON, JR., NATIONAL PRESIDENT AWATU-TUCP

                                                                                                                

                                       MESSAGE

To all Members: AWATU-Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP)

                                                  

On behalf of the All Workers Alliance Trade Union (AWATU-TUCP). 

To my fellow workers and members. We are confronted with so many challenges and the most difficult part of that, is we appeal to our lawmakers for the P150 legislated wage hike. Congress should act now and address workers' plight with a much-needed increase to make ends meet for our beloved workers.

With this in mind, through the invitation of DOLE, I will attend Labor Day with President Bongbong Marcos to bring to his attention several kinks confronting our labor sector. There were many equally important details lined up for this Labor Day event to be held in Malacañang Palace like the signing of the Joint Development Plan and establishment of the Workers Rehabilitation Complex (WRC) and the TOWER award for those Outstanding Workers of the Philippines and I am going to be a witness to represent labor on this significant day!

As we celebrate Labor Day in the Philippines, workers are in a quandary on issues that aggravate the challenges of the labor force due to extraordinary inflation and the high cost of living that weakens the minimum wage standards in the country, especially in the provinces. Filipinos are not earning enough to cover their basic needs and to support their daily cost of living. Seasonal workers are out of work or thrown into the informal sector. Those still classified as 'employed' are trapped in precarious work which is largely short-term contractual arrangements or ENDO jobs. 

In addition, a much-needed Healthy Workplace Toolkits should be placed on hand to address the  ILO's bringing back worker safety. Funded by the Government of Japan initiative.

Hopefully, as your designated officer to the National Tripartite Industrial Peace Council (NTIPC) to help us with a conduit to address those pressing problems of labor such as contractualization and immediate wage increases.

With this on hand, the AWATU-TUCP National President, Tim Dejon, Jr. is one with our visions and goals for our country with the Theme of this Labor Day - Empower the Labor Force with Decent Wages, More Jobs, and Healthy Environment!

We in the Labor Group, the AWATU-TUCP expressed our sincerest Congratulations to the new hero of the world - the labor sector. We will never forget what you have contributed to the development and progress of our country and to the workplace you are designated. With our great admiration and appreciation belongs to AWATU-TUCP and other labor sectors. Cheers to this very significant day!

TEMISTOCLES S. DEJON JR. NEWLY APPOINTED CZAR OF NTIPC BY PRES. MARCOS JR. OF THE PHILIPPINES

The National Tripartite Industrial Peace Council of the Department of Labor in the Philippines Designated TUCP Vice-President Dejon Jr. As  A Newly Appointed Member

By Ver M. Garcia - News Editor

TUCP VICE-PRESIDENT TEMISTOCLES S. DEJON JR.

Meanwhile in another related news, at the Malacañang office, his Excellency President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. has appointed TUCP-Vice President Temistocles Santiago Dejon Jr., as a newly designated member of the National Tripartite Industrial Peace Council (NTIPC) under the office of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE). Among the great exploits of Dejon Jr. prior to his newly designated position. He was the President of the All Workers Alliance Trade Union (AWATU), a Council Member of the National Anti-Poverty Commission, a Formal Labor Migrant Worker Sector, Vice-President of the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP), Alternate Member, TEC Member-DOLE-BLR, Council Member, Maritime Industry Tripartite Council and Chief of Staff of former Congressman Temistocles Dejon, Sr. 

'The National Tripartite Industrial Peace Council (NTIPC) is the main consultative and advisory body mechanism lodged with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) functions primarily as a consultative body where the social partners – labor, employers, and government – are provided a venue to discuss relevant policy issuances on labor and employment. Representatives for the labor and employer sectors are appointed by the President, through the nomination of their respective sectors and the Secretary of Labor, while representatives from other government agencies are called depending on the issues at hand. Source provided by the DOLE'.

Significant to this was also the signing of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA)  and  Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Del Monte Phils, Inc. by the officers and members of  AWATU and its affiliates DMBCLU-AWATU and DPMSEU-AWATU for another milestone in the history of the trade union movement. This will redound greatly to the long years of mutually productive and harmonious labor-management relations.

The recently concluded signing of CBA/MOA with the National Executive Vice-President Milbert M. Macarambon of AWATU with National President Temistocles Dejon, Jr. and Del Monte Phils., Inc. will greatly contribute to the advancement of responsible unionism in the Philippines. This will coincide with the announcement of the National Vice-President Temistocles M. Dejon III of AWATU their 45th Founding Anniversary and National Convention this coming June 2023 which will be held at the Bayview Park Hotel in Manila, Philippines. (VerGarciaBlogs)
