Tourism Secretary Richard Gordon

August 2001 - Tourism Secretary Richard Gordon invited Singaporean to visit Philippines.  He said that Philippines having 1.8 million tourists a year compared to Thailand with 7.5 million visitors and Malaysia with 10 million arrivals. But Gordon sought to dispel the Philippine image as unsafe for tourist and businessmen because of the spate of kidnappings for ransom. Gordon said the kidnappings are isolated only in part of southern island of Mindanao, noting that the archipelago has more than 7000 islands.


During our personal talk with Arroyo and Gordon, they said “now is the time to prove our mettle as a nation and as a people and we can start our economic rebirth wherever we are by thinking Filipino, buying Filipino and investing Filipino.”  Arroyo and Gordon entice us to invest business in the country to boast the economic rebirth.  A compliment of free air ticket was given to us (me) to visit Philippines.

The Republic of Cambodia


The grinning Prime Minister Hun Sen invited us for dinner seeking for Singaporean to invest business in the country like Cambodia. 
And in my left side is the Secretary of the Prime Minister Nguy Ritz who demonstrated showing excessive pride of country's resources for tourism and businesses. He promises us to be our personal escort and representative from the Prime Minister’s office to secure our safety and security.

After the Storm....

I was struck by disparity of the latest blogger-mania that caused the Hilongos.com and its link into an unprecedented war of imprudent words of furiousity that struck between my closest acquaintances who belittle my hidden talent and strength.
Like a manner of inanimating and behaving like storm whether good or bad mode on conducting oneself be put upon one's good behavior, to be in a state of trial, in which something important depends on propriety of conduct. During good behavior, while (or so long as) one conducts one's self with integrity and fidelity or with propriety.
Like storm a violent disturbance of the atmosphere, attended by wind, rain, snow, hail, or thunder and lightning; hence, often, a heavy fall of rain, snow, or hail, whether accompanied with wind or not. A heavy shower or fall, any adverse outburst of tumultuous force of violence with a brave man struggling in the storms of harsh words that struck in his line of contractual obligation. A violent war of words between the protagonist and the like but is often used in the formation of self-explained compounds.
The presence of agitation, overly fearful behavior during a thunderstorm is far from rare among golden retrievers.This behavior simulates the effects of wind damage from storms. Its function is to assess whether or not storms have occurred in the current time-step, and if they have, how much damage they have caused. This behavior does not actually cause any trees to be damaged; that is the function of the storm damage applier behavior.
However after the storm a peacefully atmosphere may take place after an spiritual process of ceasing to feel resentment, indignation or anger against another person for a perceived offense, difference or mistake, or ceasing to demand apology or restitution. This definition, however, is subject to much philosophical critique. Forgiveness may be considered simply in terms of the person who forgives, in terms of the person forgiven and/or in terms of the relationship between the forgiver and the person forgiven.
In some contexts, it may be granted without any expectation of compensation, and without any response on the part of the offender (for example, one may forgive a person who is dead or wanted). In practical terms, it may be necessary for the offender to offer some form of acknowledgment, apology, and/or restitution, or even just ask for forgiveness, in order for the wronged person to believe they are able to forgive.
As saying says that; “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”--Mahatma Gandhi-
Therefore the Hilongos.com can give to any party who want to exercise forgiveness if their apology is sincere and precise.
The damage has been done but time may fix the ruins of what the storms devastation it bring to bear and hail the wound he has made.

In addition; "Many people are afraid to forgive because they feel they must remember the wrong or they will not learn from it. The opposite is true. Through forgiveness, the wrong is released from its emotional stranglehold on us so that we can learn from it. Through the power and intelligence of the heart, the release of forgiveness brings expanded intelligence to work with the situation more effectively. "-- David & Bruce McArthur
