PHILIPPINE NEWSSERVICE -- SEN. GregorioHonasan recently advised
Sen. Panlo Lacson to sub
-mit himself to the rule of lawamid20allegation that he isinvolved in the Dacer-Corbitodouble murder case in 2000.“I can empathize withmy classmate. My advice tohim is to submit himself tothe law. Let the evidence be presented. Let the prosecu-
tion led the necessary case.
I guess probable cause has
to be determined rst,” he
said, adding: ``Then, it must be guided by the principle of  presumption of innocence. Itis the courts that will deter-
mine that.”
Honasan and Lacson wereformer classmates at thePhilippine Military Academy,Batch 1971.“Whatever the claims andcounter claims are, we havecourts of law where evidencewill be presented. This willnot be subjected to trial and
conviction by publicity,” he
said.Two former senior police
ofcials, Glen Dumlao and
Cesar Mancao, who workedunder Lacson when he wasstill National Police chief hadreportedly linked him to thecase.

teen years, Rosel’s father gave the
itak 
to him at age 7. A lotof these knives were family heirlooms, passed down fromgeneration to generation. The itak is sharp, versatile, andresourceful just like the Filipino people. It can be the symbolof the Filipino struggle for survival, one writer commented
Growing up,” says Rosel, “I knew a lot of kids had knives.The bolo was almost like a rite of passage into manhood.”

Isang supot ng lansones,isang supot ng mani
Maikling kuwento ni
Percival Campoamor Cruz
 Nakatutuwa ang minsan ay nangyari kay Yosi at satindero ng lansones na taga-Batangas. Pana-hon noon ng lansones at naglipana sa PlazaMiranda ang mga tindahang-kariton naang tinda ay lansones. Ugali ngmga tindero na ilagay na sa supotang katumbas ng isang kilo nglansones at itumpok ang mgamay lamang supot saisang panig ng kariton. Sagayon ay mabilis ang bilihan -- kung may bumibili ang customer ay pupulutin nalamang ang supot at magbabayad. Di nakailangang piliin ang lansones, ipasok sasupot at ilagay ito sa timbangan. Ang mgagawaing ito ay nagawa na bago pa dumating angmamimili.

 The Lewis & Clark Expedi-tion left St. Louis this week onMay 14, 1804, which marked the197th anniversary of the found-ing of Jamestown. John Philip
Sousa for the rst time pubicly
 performed “The Stars and Stripes
Forever” that day in 1897. “Star Wars’” creator, George Lucas,
was born that day in 1944 -- andour 64th Secretary of State, Mad-elein Albright, turned 7 one day
after Lucas drew his rst breath.
May is Freedom ShrineMonth, where reproductions of 30 original historic documentsare displayed at thousands of  places across America to remindus that the freedoms we enjoytoday were forged from ideal-
ism, determination and sacrice
-- requiring our eternal vigilanceto continually guard, protect,extend and expand them. Youcan visit www.nationalexchange-club.org for more information.Try to catch one of these exhibitson display here in San DiegoCounty!May also recognizes the 66million Americans who are af-
icted with arthritis. You can
learn allot about the more than100 different forms of this dis-ease at www.arthritis.org. Mayis also National Egg Month. Notonly are eggs nutritious, conve-nient, versatile and economical -- but they are particularly healthyfor dogs because eggs areabsolutely the most completely
 balanced and the best-t proteinfor the canine dietary prole.But the tastiest avor of all for 
dogs is liver. Fresh liver -- not
even let mignon -- is their 
absolute favorite thing to eat. Infact, liver is guaranteed to set
your dog’s taste buds on re. So
if you really want to treat your  best buddy to his favorite biscuit,
try liver-avored snacks!The rst stewardess attendedand served aboard a plane ight

seven YEARS before MadeleineAlbright’s date of birth and ny-
lon stockings were rst merchan
-dised on Albright’s third birth-
day. The rst same-sex marriage
was sanctioned May 17, 2004 inMassachusetts -- on the 121thanniversary of the founding of the New York Stock Exchange.The NYSE wasn’t exactly a
nancial powerhouse in its
infancy -- just two dozen localmerchants met under a button-wood tree on then-suburban WallStreet, and they had to retreat tovarious local coffeehouses for cover during inclement weather.Edward Jenner was born ex-actly 43 years before the found-ing of the NYSE. On May 14,1796, just three days before his47th birthday, Jenner discovered/invented the “smallpox vac-
cine”. His vaccine consisted of 
a muted, tamed-down, version
of “cowpox”. That’s why weget the name “vaccine” from theLatin word for “cow” -- “vac
-
cinia”. Dr. Gabriel Fahrenheit
introduced the mercury ther-mometer exactly 107 years before Jenner made his own dis-covery/invention. Dr. Fahrenheitimmodestly set the 100 degreestandard for his thermometer at his own body temperature --meaning the narcissitic fool hada 100 degree FEVER that day!The odometer was inventedMay 12, 1847, on Florence Nightingale’s 27th birthday.
And the inventor of the articial
heart, Robert Jarvik, celebratesthe 63rd anniversary of his birthMonday, which also marks the
99th “birthday” for Montana’s
Glacier National Park. They saynot a single glacier will remainin the park for people to see 99years from now.It was also on May 11, 1862that the Confederate armydestroyed their own iron cladship, the Merrimac, to preventadvancing Union troops fromgetting ahold of it. The Battleof Hamburger Hill was fought inViet Nam exactly 107 years later. Named from the heavy casual-ties, American forces eventuallycaptured the hill. But after allthat hard work and loss of life,they soon abandoned the mount-- which was then over-run andrecaptured by the Viet Cong.
Louis Farrakhan drew his rst
 breath that awful day of our 
“victory” at Hamburger Hill, but
in 1933 -- and George Wallacewas gunned down four dayslater, but in 1972. Agcaattempted to assasinatePope John Paul II onMay 13, 1981 -- onthe 135th anniver-sary of the start of theMexican-AmericanWar. Exactly four years after the attempton the Pontiff’s life,Philadelphia policeused the plastic explo-sive, C-4, to bomb ahouse. But their war-likemilitary tactic ended updestroying 61 homes and killing11 people.This Saturday marks ArmedForces Day. It falls on the 104thanniversary of the birth of JaneFonda’s dad, Henry. Amongother roles, Henry Fonda starredas Admiral Chester Nimitz in
“Tora, Tora, Tora” -- the epic
about the sneak attack on PearlHarbor. The real Chester Nimitz
took command of the Pacic
during World War II and was re-sponsible for the island-hoppingamphibious drive toward Japan.The main gate at Pearl Harbor iscalled Nimitz Gate, and he is theone after whom Nimitz Drive inPoint Loma is named.This year’s Armed ForcesDay coincidentally also falls on
the 34th anniversary of the rst
woman to ever scale the top of Mt. Everest. Coincidently, shewas a Japanesenational. Yogi Berra was bornMay 12, 1925. He once said, “If you come to a fork in the road,
take it.” He also once observed:
“This is like deja vu all over 
again.” Carlsbad’s own skate
- boarding champ, Tony Hawk,will turn 40 on Yogi Berra’s birthday this year. Dennis Rod-man turns 48 one day later andWorld Heavyweight champ, JoeLouis, turns 95 the same day.Boxer Sugar Ray Leonard turns53 on the 17th, marking the 55thaniversary of the 1954 SupremeCourt decision that heraldedthe end of school segregation(Brown vs. Board of Education).
And Indian rights were rst rec
-ognized by the Government onMay 12, 1879.Lyman Baum, author of the
“Wizard of Oz”, entered this
world on May 15, 1856 and the
rst woman publisher, Elizabeth
Peabody, was born May 16,1804. She published threeof Nathaniel Hawthorne’s books -- because “her 
 brother” couldn’t nd
any established publisher who was willing to take achance on him! GeorgeCarlin, who beat back the tide of censorshipwith case law advancesin First Amendment law,was born May 12, 1937.Artist Salvador Dali was born May 11, 1904 -- onIrving Berlin’s 16th birthdy.Singer Janet Jackson (1966)and actress Tori Spelling (1973)share May 16th birthdays. DebraWinger came into this world onMay 17, 1955. And Britain’sKing George VI was coronatedMay 12, 1937 after his older  brother, King Edward VIII, abdi-cated the throne for “the woman
I love”. That woman was Wally
Simpson, whom he met herein San Diego at the Hotel delCoronado.Katherine Hepburn (1907),Steve Winwood (1948) and BurtBacharach (1929) were all bornon May 12th too. Music com- poser, Arthur Sullivan (of thelight opera-producing company,Gilbert & Sullivan), was bornthe NEXT day, but in 1842 --and turned 108 on the day StevieWonder was born.Late late night TV host CraigFerguson (1962) and actor Den-nis Hopper (1936) share May
