	Anyone out there know of a pinoy/pinay looking for a change in
job atmosphere? Here at Cirrus we have an opening for a Reliability
Engineer. He/She must have at least 5 yrs. experience in the field.
A strong background in physics is a plus.
	The lucky person will be working with yours truly. I'd prefer
a kababayan as a colleague than any other.

Nowhere does he mention the current and very real NPA threat. Common to

Subject: HOME-BOUND
Date: 20 Aug 92 13:35:55 GMT

I am glad to read about Filipinos who have earned some money and
eventually decided to go home for good.  While I am not critical 
of those who have left the Philippines to study or to earn, 
I am disgusted with those who have the colonial thinking that
America (or any other "imported" place) has more to offer 
than the Philippines.  This "fact" is only true as far the 
material and hedonistic aspects, but surely there is a little 
more in life than money (and sex).  Certainly, the odds of 
getting into the middle class when one starts up from 
the lower classes of society is far better in the US than the odds 
back home.  But there will always be trade offs in life
as there is no such thing as a free lunch.  

In my four years of studies here, seeing, hearing, and 
speaking with Americans and even non-Americans, it is 
inevitable to conclude a commonality of crises -- poverty, social 
injustice, corruption, traditional politicians, crime, prostitution, 
discrimination, moral decay and a lot more.  The only difference 
is the form in which these human problems take (and the fact that
materially rich countries have technology that eases up 
some of these problems -- though ironically, it has also 
created new ones!).  

Americans love this country (and they should!) for this is 
their home.  But in the same way, Filipinos too should 
love their country.  I have seen so many Filipinos 
getting dazzled upon coming here and who eventually try 
to forget where they have come from.  I am overwhelmed with 
satisfaction to know that there are some people who are not part
of this many.  

On a final note, I do not think it is mere optimism to think
that the Philippines will get to solve some of its many problems 
at some point in time.  The only question is whether we will 
be alive to see it.  If not, then perhaps our children, or our
children's children.  What we must make sure of is that 
whatever we do now -- whether we stay or we go home -- 
we shall do so not just for our sake but for a higher, 
more noble cause.  This way, while we may not be active in 
shaping the tomorrow that comes, we may at least be catalysts.

Organization: University of Pennsylvania


	MANILA, Philippines (UPI) -- The Philippines recalled its ambassador
to the former Yugoslavia Wednesday to protest alleged human rights
violations.
	Foreign Affairs Secretary Roberto Romulo said he ordered Ambassador
Jose Fernandez to return to Manila, leaving the Philippine Embassy in
Belgrade under the care of the vice consul, Maria Teresa Taguiang.
	Romulo said President Fidel Ramos decided to downgrade the embassy
because of ``his belief that our national interest compels us to view
what is happening in Yugoslavia in the light of our commitment to human
rights and our policy of solidarity with Muslim countries.''
	He said the Philippines, a member of the U.N. Commission on Human
Rights, supported moves to convene a session to discuss the reported
rights violations against Muslims in the former communist nation now
wracked by civil war.
	``In our case, downgrading our embassy in Belgrade is without
prejudice to closing it down in the future if the situation so warrants,
'' Romulo said.
	``By the same token, we are not precluding the possibility of sending
our ambassador back to Belgrade once the tangled situation in that
country is resolved to the satisfaction of all parties concerned.''
	Muslim countries, led by the Organization of Islamic Countries, or
OIC, have closed or reduced their embassies in Belgrade to protest the
reported atrocities committed by the Serbs in Yugoslavia, now composed
only of Serbia and Montenegro.
	Analysts said the move by the Philippines, which is facing a
dwindling Muslim separatist rebellion in the southern island of
Mindanao, was aimed at appeasing the influential OIC from reviving its
support to the guerrillas.

So it seems that the legalization of the CPP is a popular opinion among the 
talking heads here. I think the next logical question is how big an impact 
the CPP legalization will have on the insurgency. Will it indeed bring about 
the breakup between the moderates and the hard-liners in the CPP that the 
government appears to be banking on? 

I think it will although I won't bet the farm on it.

We can also speculate on how the CPP will fare if they indeed participate 
in elections. If the electoral experience of Partido ng Bayan (PnB) 
[People's Party] is a guide, it would seem to me that the CPP will have 
very little chance winning national and provincial seats but may succeed 
in local elections (congressional, mayoral, town council, baranggay). 
Admittedly, although I disagree with the CPP platform, I would like to see 
them unseat many of the feudal aristocrats who dominate Congress, the 
provincial capitols and town halls. 

It would also be nice to know that there could be politicians who will be 
running on issues and platforms instead of the personality oriented 
politics that we have now.

Offhand, I can recall two congressional elections in which the Left has won 
seats: the 1949 Democratic Alliance (a Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas PKP 
front) and the 1987 Partido ng Bayan which won some seats in Samar. I don't 
know how PnB fared in the latest electoral contest. 

In 1949, the DA were kept from assuming their seats to deny them the 
chance to vote against the US Parity Amendment. The DA congressmen 
eventually fled to the hills to rejoin the Huk rebellion. 

On the other hand, although the PnB initially caused the military a lot of 
anxiety, I have not heard anything controversial about them. Of course, this 
is not to say that the CPP will be offered red carpet treatment by other 
politicians. Red scare after all is still a very effective electoral tactic.

Comments welcome.

Organization: University of Pennsylvania

MANILA, Philippines (UPI) -- Benguet Corp., the largest gold producer
in the country, announced Thursday earnings of $1.78 million for the
first half of 1992, down 61 percent from the same period last year.
	Dennis Belmonte, Benguet president, attributed the plunge to a
strengthening peso against the U.S. dollar and to soft gold prices on
the world market.
	The company temporarily suspended operations at its BACO-Kelly gold
mine July 1 amid swelling losses due to low metal prices.
	It said Thursday it would limit gold mining at other sites in the
second half of the year.
	``1991 was already a disappointing year for the company and the
earnings for the first six months of this year are below earlier
estimates,'' said Conrad Andres, an analyst at Asia Equity.
	Benguet said gold prices were down about 6 percent from the first
half of 1991, while the peso had risen about 12 percent against the U.S.
dollar.
	The mining firm is in the middle of restructuring commercial loans
worth 3 billion pesos ($120 million). This, Andres said, should improve
Benguet's earnings during the second half of the year.
	About 900 million pesos ($36 million) of the loans are expected to be
converted into foreign currency loans, which carry lower interest rates
and longer terms for payback.

I thought the biggest irony of the year was when Imelda came back home

with full military HONORS beats Imeldas running for presidency!  This is

in a way, i agree with the sentiments expressed by bombim. this is really  
outrageous since the courts have yet to clear the late president from all  
the civil and criminal cases arrayed/or previosuly arrayed against him  
(btw, can you charge a dead person in court?? what happens to a court case  
against a dead person??). while he was the former president, giving  
military honors is ridiculous if it is proven later that he committed  
crimes against the state. while he should be considered innocent until  
otherwise proven in court, the government should at least have been more  
prudent in awarding full military honors. reconciliation must be pursued  
without trampling down on the spirit behind the laws of the land and  
without making a mockery of those who have been bestowed similar honors.

one more thing, i don't understand why the government couldn't grant the  
wishes of the family with regards to the burial site. why can't the body  
be buried in tanay, rizal if that's where they want it.  the threat to  
public order arising from the burial of the late president seems to have  
been greatly diminished. the last election show that the marcoses no  
longer command a huge following. don't we have enough confidence on the  
law enforcers to maintain adequate  security and crowd control.

this issue should have been settled a long time ago. its a big  waste of  
time and effort on public officials who should be working instead on  
figuring out how to make the economy work. it's amazing,..it's been years  
and they're still negotiating on it. surely there are other more pressing  
issues to address.

TOTOO 'YAN, PARE....in fact, my wife's cousins had decided to go back home
after spending 14 years here; they had to sell everything (house, cars, etc...)

I guess money isn't everything, too...Sabi nga nila "MONEY CAN'T BUY 
HAPPINESS".  According to her cousins, they're tired of the hustle and bustle
here in the States; mabuti pa raw doon 'laidback' ang buhay.  Napansin nila
'to 'nung umuwi sila last year.  Napuna nila na kahit walang pera ang mga tao,
masaya pa rin sila.  'Yung mga nag-oopisina nga sa Makati, may time pang 
mag-relax (bowling, sine, etc...) pagkatapos ng trabaho.  Kahit daw mahirap 
ang buhay, nakakaraos din...

Siguro naman napansin n'yo rin 'to 'nung huling umuwi kayo, ano fellow

      Now, this is a real poignant display of affirmation to
 who we are, the Filipino people.  We have struggles here in
 the U.S.A, we fight for our place in the American  society,
 we long for understanding of our culture, we succeed and we
 fail.  All part of a bigger scheme to survive and to exist.

      We know someday we will  overcome  the  great  hurdles
 that  are  inherently  facing us in America.  But, would it
 not be a noble cause if we  also  share  the  same  energy,
 efforts  and  all  our tangible resources to the benefit of
 our people back home?  Is it a heavy burden to ask of us?

      It also appears, and quite obviously, that the  longer
 we stay here and acclimate ourselves to a new land, we also
 miss our own nativeland so dearly.
