  • Gina on My Mind by Jose Bayani Baylon May 05, 2017
    Gina on my mind By Jose Bayani Baylon May 05, 2017 AND so it came to pass that the Commission on Appointments – composed of twelve Senators and twelve Congressmen and presided over by a non-voting Senate President – terminated the hearings on the nomination of Gina Lopez as DENR secretary. “Apres moi, le deluge”, I could almost hear her saying as she listened to the judgment of the plenary, a judgment that, in the words of the Environment committee chair Emmanuel Pacquiao, was not “what I had expected”. Even the nominee expressed surprise at a press conference later. We had the numbers last night, she said – which left “So what happened” questions in the minds of her listeners. Maybe that explains why some members of the Commission took pains to express themselves – because (I am speculating here) they had promised the nominee that she had his or her vote, but they did not deliver in the end. I had a unique vantage point during all these, since in a parallel universe I work for a mining group whose flagship mine in Palawan had been praised by Gina Lopez herself as a model of responsible mining. (“Pwede pala”, you can hear her saying -- con todo raised fist -- in a short video we took during her visit and which we have posted on social media.). So I was in some ways wired into the workings of some mining players who comprise the Chamber of Mines – the responsible ones, we like to boast – which took up the cudgels for the whole industry. At the same time the student of politics within me viewed the whole process with an excited eye, trying to understand the dynamics of all the players in the long and drawn out process.

  • New Hope, New Resolve, New Normal!
    Volume 7 Issue No. 01 map.org.ph January 5, 2020 “MAPping the Future” Column in the INQUIRER NEW HOPE, NEW RESOLVE, NEW NORMAL! January 4, 2021 Mr. ANTONIO “Tony” T. HERENANDEZ Year 2021 unfolds as the ‘unspoiled page in our book of time’ now at our disposal. It comes as our next chance to objectify past lessons learned, and hopefully avoid lapses/errors as we write out “Chapter-2021” of our journey called life! The first month of the year --- January --- is aptly named after the Roman god Janus, the god of beginnings and doorways; of entrances and exits. Janus bears a double-faced head so he can look back to the past while at the same time look ahead to the future. It implies the ability to readily reflect on last year’s learning. At the same time, look forward with circumspection to address the year ahead. New Resolve During this month, the so-called “new year’s resolution” comes to mind. When taken seriously, it could gain traction in engaging the WILL to: (1) chart a fresh lease of life; (2) break away from habits that blot yesterday’s copybook; and (3) imbibe positive qualities --- virtuous not vicious --- to influence human nature’s natural driving forces [like ambition, impatience, self-concept, even selfishness... neutral forces essentially, writes international best-selling author Brian Tracy] and channel them to actions that edify not degrade, build not destroy, help not harm, and be a blessing to others! In the good-old-days, “new year’s resolution” was often the subject of school compositions.

Ramos, former DENR Secretary, during the Platinum Ball of the UP Beta Sigma Fraternity to celebrate its 70th anniversary at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Ortigas Center, Metro Manila on July 16, 2016) Allow me to first greet our hosts tonight, President Jojo Alfonso Alejar, the members of his board and Brod Boyet Fernandez, chair of the Platinum celebration organizing committee We are honored by the presence of three of our founding brothers — Greg “Goyito" Abreu, Benedicto “Ben” Arcinas and Antonio “Tony” Lahoz Sr. I would like to recognize some of our elders from the late ‘40s and early ‘50s — from Batch ’48 - Brod Narcing Lapus, from Batch ’49 - Brod Orly Pena and Brod National Scientist Ted Topacio, from Batch ’51, Brod Jose Abueva and Brod Raoul Victorino, from Batch ’52 - Brod Rolando “Babes” Estrella and Brod Cecilio Felix.

Seventy, according to Genesis, the first book in the Bible, is the age of completeness. For seniors like some of us, it is when we have done our family duties: we have raised our children and let them fly out of the nest. We can now enjoy the fruits of our toil. For a social organization like our fraternity, we have matured and now bask in the glow of our collective achievements.
