By: Ver Garcia & Teddy Cho

In Photo From L to R.:  Dra. Rhodora Andrea M. Concepcion, MD and company of the Philippine Psychiatric Association posed for posterity in the showing of an inspiring  film 'Finding Dory' with Dr. Ver Garcia, ND of the Bloggers Association of the Philippines..

The Natasha Goulbourn Foundation, the Philippines Psychiatric Association, Globe and Ayala Cinemas who sponsored the showing of 'Finding Dory' a film about the importance of a Family as a strong emotional support that can lead to fortitude, wisdom, understanding family solidarity and friendship that transcends boundaries.

Finding Dory with her newly found friends beneath the seabed.

A short film review of the film showed the audience the importance of inculcating good, positive, sound and fundamental values in rearing children while they are young as they grow old. The tendency for them to nurture these positive values in life as inculcated early on their lives. Many of the characters include Marlin, Nemo, Turtle Crush, Hank the unforgettable Octopus played ala Superman, the savior in the life of Dory. Without Octo I think.. escape of Dory in the Marine cage wont be possible. Other characters that is equally amusing are Destiny, a near sighted Whale Shark and Bailey with an exciting radar telephatic x-ray that could read minds and find where Dory is. These symbolizes the claims that the parents laid on the sea bed to guide her child back home with pearls as her guiding light in Finding Dory. Heed your parents advice and listen to them.. it will lead you to a right direction when you grow old.

The Philippines Mental Health Problems

With the rampant drug addiction in our country The Philippine Mental Health had become the missing link in arresting the widespread drug addiction, Substance abuse as well. in  the fight against Drug abuse it's the victim who suffers the consequences of drug addiction aftermath and that is Mental illness. With the Mental health Bill now in Congress and the Senate. The youths chances of returning to a productive life after being exposed to the evils of addiction should be the number one priority of the Government.

The Objective of the Bills As Follows:

1. Ensure a community  of Filipinos who are mentally able to contribute to the development of the country and attain a better quality of life through access to an integrated well planned, effectively organized and efficiently delivered mental health programs in equity to their physical needs.

2.Promote mental health  protection of the rights and freedoms of person with mental health needs  and the reduction of the burdens  and and consequences of mental and brain disorders and

disabilities.

3. Provide the direction for a coherent rational and unified response to the nation's mental health problems, concerns and effort.

Various patient and family, professional, para-professional, legal, media, governmental and non-governmental, local and international groups have been consulted and their inputs have been incorporated and continues to consult other groups to be able to come out with a bill that is reflective of the mental health needs of the country. Yet the passage of the bill remains elusive. The Philippines lags behind and ranks itself among the minority of the worlds community of nations without the mental health legislation despite being signatory to a number of international covenants upholding the mental health of their population. Indeed no less than the holy book exhorts us all to do no less as it states"speak up for those who can not speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute" (Proverbs 31:8).

The Philippine Psychiatric Association (PPA), an affiliate of the Philippine College of Physicians. in total now has 495 members and still growing. Many thanks to Dr. Rhodora Andrea Concepcion and the rest of the officers and staff of (PPA) without them the success of the film Finding Dory won't be possible. Kudos also  with Dr. Ed Tolentino, Jr., Dr. Fareda  Flores, Ayala Malls and Cinema, NGF, Globe and Hopeline a 24 hour prevention on suicide and emotional crisis.

HOW TO START A GREAT CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE YOU MEET..

TIPS ON MAKING A GREAT CONVERSATION WITH

EVERYONE

English Proficiency Workshop at UP Diliman.

     

The art of conversation takes practice and is not as hard as you might think. It will take some knowledge, practice, and patience, and you can learn to relax and enjoy a great conversation.

With these tips you will be well on your way to having a good, meaningful and entertaining conversation with anyone!

Make a good first impression. Smile, ask questions that require more than a yes/no answer, and really listen. Maintain eye contact and keep as friendly and polite as possible.

Listen. This is the most important part of any conversation. You might think a conversation is all about talking, but it will not go anywhere if the listener is too busy thinking of something to say next. Pay attention to what is being said. When you talk to the other person, injecting a thought or two, they will often not realize that it was they who did most of the talking, and you get the credit for being a good conversationalist – which of course, you are!

Find out what the other person is interested in. You can even do some research in advance when you know you will have an opportunity to talk with a specific person. Complimenting them is a great place to start. Everyone likes sincere compliments, and that can be a great ice-breaker.

Ask questions. What do they like to do? What sort of things have they done in their life? What is happening to them now? What did they do today or last weekend? Identify things about them that you might be interested in hearing about, and politely ask questions. Remember, there was a reason that you wanted to talk to them, so obviously there was something about them that you found interesting.

Forget yourself. Dale Carnegie once said, “It’s much easier to become interested in others than it is to convince them to be interested in you.” If you are too busy thinking about yourself, what you look like, or what the other person might be thinking, you will never be able to relax. Introduce yourself, shake hands, then forget yourself and focus on them instead.

Always listen and have ears so that you will not skip some important notes about the topics.

Practice active listening skills. Part of listening is letting the other person know that you are listening. Make eye contact. Nod. Say “Yes,” “I see,” “That’s interesting,” or something similar to give them clues that you are paying attention and not thinking about something else – such as what you are going to say next.

Ask clarifying questions. If the topic seems to be one they are interested in, ask them to clarify what they think or feel about it. If they are talking about an occupation or activity you do not understand, take the opportunity to learn from them. Everyone loves having a chance to teach another willing and interested person about their hobby or subject of expertise.

Paraphrase back what you have heard using your own words. This seems like an easy skill to learn, but takes some practice to master. Conversation happens in turns, each person taking a turn to listen and a turn to speak or to respond. It shows respect for the other person when you use your “speaking turn” to show you have been listening and not just to say something new. They then have a chance to correct your understanding, affirm it, or embellish on it.

Consider your response before disagreeing. If the point was not important, ignore it rather than risk appearing argumentative. If you consider it important then politely point out your difference of opinion. Do not disagree merely to set yourself apart, but remember these points:

It is the differences in people–and their conversation–that make them interesting.
Agreeing with everything can kill a conversation just as easily as disagreeing with everything.

A person is interesting when they are different from you; a person is obnoxious when they can not agree with anything you say, or if they use the point to make themselves appear superior.

Try to omit the word “but” from your conversation when disagreeing.. as this word often puts people on the defensive. Instead, try substituting the word “and”, it has less of an antagonistic effect.

Do not panic over lulls. This is a point where you could easily inject your thoughts into the discussion. If the topic seems to have run out, use the pause to think for a moment and identify another conversation topic or question to ask them. Did something they said remind you of something else you have heard, something that happened to you, or bring up a question or topic in your mind? Mention it and you’ll transition smoothly into further conversation!

Know when the conversation is over. Even the best conversations will eventually run out of steam or be ended by an interruption. Shake hands with the other person and be sure to tell them you enjoyed talking with them. Ending on a positive note will leave a good impression and likely bring them back later for more!

ANOTHER GALLERIA DUEMILA'S GREAT EXHIBIT IN PASAY CITY, PHILIPPINES

GALLERIA DUEMILA SHOWCASES JUNYEE'S SOUND OF SILENCE
By: VerGarcia & TeddyCho

Showing the Map of Galeria Duemila.

Iliac Diaz leads pleasantries with guests at the Galeria Duemila.

In The Aesthetics of Silence, Susan Sontag’s seminal 1969 essay, Sontag investigates how silence reconciles art’s function as a form of spirituality in an increasingly secular culture, she writes, “The art of our time is noisy with appeals for silence. A coquettish, even cheerful nihilism. One recognizes the imperative of silence, but goes on speaking anyway.” In a parallel purview Junyee attempts to estimate his ruminations on silence in The Silence of J, his solo exhibition at Galleria Duemila, wherein approximations of light, space, and perspective are modified, diluted, to a conflicting yet visually decisive investigation on his very own aesthetics of silence.

Artist plays the flute..

In The Silence of J, the walls are seamlessly hung with sparse four-sided woodworks, evocative reliefs made from sturdy jointed T&G (tongue-and-groove) planks, whitewashed in ivory, snow, and eggshell—tonal values that have determined the depth and perspective of Yee’s muted permutations. Presenting a flowchart of processes and traces of quaintly discontinued paintjob, he reveals the architectural and utilitarian qualities of the medium, while non-descript shapes—slivers of flaked off paint, and linear dents hint at a feeling of Fontana’s iconic post-object slashes. Much in the way in which his sparse compositions seemingly manifest as diagrams or blueprints of a utopian construct—in the heady technological apocalypse of the now, silence makes perfect sense.

Revered for his use of indigenous resources throughout his practice, Junyee constantly gives weight to the “endless vitality of nature, through inventive art-making”. He pioneered installation art and outdoor installation festivals in the Philippines. He is the sole contemporary bamboo artist in the ASEAN region. An accomplished artist he was nominated for a National Artist Award in Visual Arts in 2012. He won numerous awards and accolades, such as  the Cultural Center of the Philippines’ 13 Artist Award in 1980, Grant Award – Israel Philippines Monument Design Competition for the Holocaust Memorial in 2007, UPAA Distinguished Alumni Award for Arts and Culture and Tanglaw ng Sining Award for Outstanding Alumnus of UP College of Fine Arts in 2013.

FIRST GOVERNMENT EDIFICE INAUGURATED IN TACLOBAN, LEYTE AFTER TYPHOON YOLANDA

Baldoz inaugurates DOLE Building in Region 8

Labor Sec. Rosalinda Baldoz

The Department of Labor and Employment Regional Office No. 8—the first government edifice in Tacloban to hoist the Philippine flag after the devastation of typhoon Yolanda—was formally inaugurated last week by Labor and Employment Secretary Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz.

DOLE’s rehabilitation of its two-storey regional office, which sits on a 5,363 sq. meter lot, amounted to P3.2-million pesos. The DPWH also shouldered a total of P1-million pesos for the repainting of the building

“The recovery and rehabilitation efforts of the DOLE Region 8 was proof of the cohesiveness of the DOLE family,” Secretary Baldoz said.

The Secretary profusely thanked all DOLE regional offices, including DOLE Central Office services, bureaus, and attached agencies, who were quick to dispatch their augmentation team to help DOLE Region 8 management and staff rise from the aftermath of calamity.

“The physical recovery, the technical and administrative operations assistance, and even up to the extent of helping our regional and field offices staff undergo stress debriefing, were commendable manifestations of our solidarity. The ‘bayanihan’ spirit immensely helped DOLE Eastern Visayas be back on its feet. We also commend our DOLE Region 8 management and staff for their resilience,” said Baldoz.

DOLE’s Regional Office in Tacloban also gallantly stood, despite being devastated by Yolanda, as a symbol of indomitable Filipino spirit, according to DOLE Region 8 Director Elias A. Cayanong.

“Ten days after Yolanda, DOLE Region 8 was the first government office in Tacloban City to raise the Philippine flag in its compound in Trece Martires Street, Barangay Libertad. Our water and sanitation facilities also served some international news organization teams who covered the Yolanda aftermath,” Cayanong said.

DOLE central and regional offices, as well as bureaus and attached agencies, sent goods, cash donations, and provided volunteer manpower resources to assist DOLE RO 8’s operations for over a month.

Baldoz likewise mentioned the same laudable recovery and rehabilitation efforts of the National Maritime Polytechnic, an attached agency of DOLE, also located in Tacloban. “Truly, we rebuilt not only edifice; we also restored distressed well-being,” the Secretary said.

Secretary Baldoz and DOLE Regional Office No. 8 Director Cayanong awarded plaques of appreciation to offices, which assisted them in the aftermath of Yolanda. 

Those who received the awards were Office of the Secretary, Offices of Undersecretary Rebecca C. Chato, Undersecretary Ciriaco A. Lagunzad, Undersecretary Nicon F Fameronag; Office of Assistant Secretary Gloria Tango, and Assistant Secretary Katherine B. Brimon.

DOLE Regional Offices (ROs) were also honoured for quickly dispatching assistance to Yolanda-battered DOLE Regional Office No. 8.  

National Capital Region, Regional Office No. 1, Regional Office No. 2, Regional Office No. 3, Regional Office No. 4A, Regional Office No. 4B, Regional Office No. 5, Regional Office No. 6, Regional Office No. 7, Regional Office No. 9, Regional Office No.10, Regional Office No. 11, Regional Office No. 12, Regional Office No. 13, Cordillera Administrative Region, Negros Island Region, as well as Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) Office No. 5 (Bicol), OWWA Regional Office No. 13, Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB) No. 13, and NCMB Regional Office No. 7, also received their respective commendations.

Likewise honored were Labor Communications Office, Financial Management Service, Human Resources Development Service, Administrative Service, Internal Audit Service, Planning Service, Legal Service, Institute for Labor Studies, Bureau of Local Employment, Bureau of Labor Relations, Bureau of Working Conditions, Bureau of Workers with Special Concerns, International Labor Affairs Bureau, and National Reintegration Center for OFWs, as well as  DOLE attached agencies composed of Occupational Safety and Health Center, Philippine Overseas Employment Administration, National Conciliation and Mediation Board, and National Wages and Productivity Commission.

DOLE also recognized the valuable assistance of Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Regional Office No. 8 and 1st Leyte Engineering District.

Secretary Baldoz also took time to thank the DOLE family for their commitment to the goals of the Department. 

“Nagawa nating tumaas ang pagkilala, pagpapahalaga, at respeto sa manggagawang Pilipino. Now, I am also assured that as I complete my full term as Secretary of the Department of Labor and Employment, a team of resilient DOLE employees, headed by dedicated career officials, will continue giving their 101 percent in carrying out the mandate of the agency, specifically in the service of the Filipino workers,"  Baldoz said.

A REMINDER TO OUR AMBASSADORS IN THE MIDDLE EAST AS SUGGESTED BY PHILIPPINE OFW REPRESENTATIVE SENERES, JR.

A Calculated Response To The Middle East Crisis.. An Interview With Congressman Roy M. Seneres, Jr.
By: Ver M. Garcia & Teddy Cho

The Philippine Passport

Our OFW's the unsung heroes who have decided to leave their families just to work abroad in a foreign land, they are the people who deserve the best treatment from our government yet somehow and someway these unsung heroes have not felt that pampering care and at times threatened by 'laglag bala' and other hardships perpetrated by our own countrymen. They deserve the best and nothing else.

The former Ambassador and Presidential Roy Seneres, Sr. saw to it that our OFW's deserve far more especially in times of crisis. In an interview with the son Roy Seneres, Jr. should  a panic button arise in the Middle East and other countries, a protocol was formulated to at least mitigate the dangerous plight of our OFW's. A legacy from the late Ambassador Roy Seneres, Sr. ensures.

Should there be an Oil price decrease and the subsequent effect on the employment of OFW's?

OFW-Family Club Party List Head Roy Seneres, Jr.

A suggestion on what should be done:

A portrait of the late Amba Seneres with former Pres. Fidel Ramos.. A legacy that was passed on to the son of Ambassador Roy Seneres, Sr.

See to it that they are assisted  with regards to their repatriation needs by the government.

We should be in the forefront in assisting them with their issuing exit visas and helping them with their repatriation for those who in need of that type of services. In so doing the head of the mission.

Our Ambassadors as head of the mission should be there in the work sites of these oil companies  to facilitate these He (Ambassador) should establish close linkages with the Ministry of Labor  and his counterpart there in the Kingdom(Saudi) to see to it that our OFW's request for repatriation are met.

While they are on standby awaiting their repatriation, our government should send over the necessary assistance to address their day-to-day needs and subsistence for they no longer have working permits (iqama) that's why they can not go out on the work site.So send them a team of Doctors  and embassy staff under the supervision of the Dept. of Health (DOH) to conduct medical missions on the work site under the leadership of the Consul  general with the stipulation with the consonance on Migrant Act.

Just in case there is a panic button and so many have been displaced because of unrest. Our President or perhaps the next President should invite the job providers association in Malacanang and have an intimate discussion with them to the effect that those displaced will be re-deployed on other neighboring countries or in other countries abroad, who fit their qualification for purposes of softening the impact. Another option is for the the the government to have close linkages with other companies who are not experiencing retrenchment or the lost of profit and request them to help employ, give priority to those who are going to be displaced.

The Program of DOLE-ASSIST WELL (welfare,employment,livelihood,and legal assistance) program, there is included in that program a job matching and re-integration. So they should be seriously assisted for those who want to go home and are awaiting to go back home and given an alternative jobs orchestrated by the government particularly DOLE, under the existing program. Those are the things that the OFW Family Partylist lays down for the government for the suggestion in the government to do. In case of imminent termination  or displacement of OFW's in SAUDI  brought about by fluctuating oil prices.

   

In case of War or Unrest?

We should do the following.. A reminder.

Congressman Roy Seneres, Jr. reiterated a statement that we should not panic, however, we should be very cautious of what's happening there between Saudi Arabia and other neighboring countries that are supposedly having an ongoing tensions.

Our Ambassadors should discern  what his/her counterparts in the U.S. and other European nations therein  Saudi, what they are doing? you visit them, you ask them, you solicit from them based on their intelligence report if war is indeed imminent. You discern to what they are doing if we should repatriate or evacuate our countrymen, if they are doing it to their nationals there in Saudi. But if not, if their mood is calm. If they feel that the tension should subside.Then we should follow their lead because we should not initiate or go ahead and panic if it is not needed because we have 3 million  Filipinos that are sacrificing for their families we don't want to alarm them.

POINTERS ON HOW TO BECOME A GOOD PUBLIC SPEAKER..

IMPORTANT TIPS ON PUBLIC SPEAKING TO BECOME AN EFFECTIVE SPEAKER..

How to become an effective Public Speaker

Ensure your speech will be captivating to your audience as well as worth their time and attention. Videotape your presentation and analyze it. Emphasize your strong points during your presentation.

Present the desired image to your audience. Be solemn if your topic is serious. Appear relaxed, even if you feel nervous. Remember, you don’t look as nervous as you feel.
Establish rapport with your audience. If a microphone is available, adjust and adapt your voice accordingly.

Maintain sincere eye contact with your audience. If what you have prepared is obviously not getting across to your audience, change your strategy mid-stream if you are well prepared to do so.
Allow yourself and your audience a little time to reflect and think.

Check out the location ahead of time to ensure seating arrangements for audience, whiteboard, blackboard, lighting, location of projection screen, sound system, etc. are suitable for your presentation.

Tell audience ahead of time that you will be giving out an outline of your presentation so that they will not waste time taking unnecessary notes during your presentation.

Humour : Tell jokes if you’re good at telling jokes. If you aren’t good, it is best to leave the jokes behind.

There’s nothing worse than a punch line that has no punch.
Tell stories : Stories make you a real person not just a deliverer of information. Use personal experiences to bring your material to life. No matter how dry your material is, you can always find a way to humanise it.

Keep audience interested throughout your entire presentation. Remember that an interesting speech makes time fly, but a boring speech is always too long to endure even if the presentation time is the same.

Using Public Speaking Environment – Try not to get stuck in one place. Use all the space that’s available to you. If your space is confined (say a meeting room or even presenting at a table) use stronger body language to convey your message.

Mistakes – Mistakes are all right. Recovering from mistakes makes you appear more human. Good recovery puts your audience at ease – they identify with you more. (VerGarciaBlogs)

Chilean food should not be confused with the spicy dishes common in Mexican cuisines. Unlike Mexican meals, the hot chili pepper is not too frequent in Chile. Another thing is the quality Red Wine to compliment the Chilean food or the Chilean Cuisine. One of the highlights of Chilean cuisine is the diversity of seafood.
