as stated by its School Administrator.
It has never entered the mind of its founder that one
day she would be at the forefront of one of the most
coveted, TESDA accredited, technical and vocational
school in Makati City. But fate seems to have it that
way when one day while she was in Australia, almost

ten years ago, she envisioned a dream that made
her realize what she really wanted to do for the
rest of her life. Having that purpose with an
uplifted spirit and a new vision for the future, she

EDITOR’S NOTE
Are you ready for
Are We Really Ready?
We’re now on our fifth presidential run since the 1986 snap
election. And what change did it bring us for our country since
then? Fortunately for those who earn money other than on our
own currency, most of them are probably not even from here, but
they’re the ones reaping the rewards and bliss of our country’s
democracy and economy. But for the majority public you can expect
for the worse. The fact remains that we still live in the darkest days
of our lives even gloomier than the previous ones due to rampant
corruption, social injustices and poverty. Considered still as a third
world country by others with an old adage, “the rich gets richer and
the poor become even poorer”. We often ask ourselves, where did
we go wrong? How and what we should do?
Automated Election
On May 10, the Filipinos shall decide
again who will run this country. And for the
first time we would be witnessing a new
process called automation in our national
and local voting system. The Comelec
was allotted P11 billion pesos budget
for this year’s election. It inked a deal
worth P7.2 billion with Smartmatic-TIM
Joint Venture Company which will
provide the machines for its
implementation. Smartmatic International
was the one involved in the automated
elections in the US, Mexico, Venezuela, Barbados,
Spain, Taiwan, and now the Philippines. Our government have
stepped-up its campaign to educate and convince the voting public
of the new system and its integrity.
The Automated Election actually involves the tabulation of votes
and not the actual casting of votes. Voters will be given pre-printed
ballots together with a secrecy folder and a special marking pen,
where they will mark their preferred candidates by shading the
oval beside the names of their choice. Ballots are then fed into
a PCOS election machine, where votes are automatically tallied
and forwarded to municipal and national servers. An election
officer monitors the PCOS screen to make sure that the ballot was
successfully accepted. The PCOS machines will transmit encrypted
election returns, and print-out eight copies for various political
parties and election watchdogs for manual cross-checking.

CHANGE?
Despite of the controversy surrounding its infallibility, all we could
hope is for a just and peaceful election. There are advantages and
disadvantages in an automated election but no matter what the
outcome would be, the truth is there’s still a little or no chance at all
for Filipinos and our country to be really free unless we start within
each and every one of us. If we really want change, we have to
change ourselves.
Changing the Way We think
The power of the mind is a unique tool for change.
Whatever our mindset is programmed with
constitutes the results from our own actions
and emotions. We all have the ability to change
and the gift of influencing others to change. The
Philippines is blessed with so many natural resources
but the most important of all resources our country
has are the ones always taken for granted, and
that is the Filipino people. Divided by more than
7,100 islands, culture, dialects, political views
and religious beliefs; the probability of uniting our
people are deemed very slim. Unless we find a
way to stand together united with the same vision
to finally put a stop and wage war against poverty
As long as there’s poverty, there will always be
victims, corruption, prostitution, exploitation and war.
The fight against poverty is not won in the streets, in
violence or in protest. It all starts and end within our own
minds.
In order to change this country, we have to change ourselves first.
In anything that we do, we should always strive to be better, if not,
be the best in everything. Believe that nothing is impossible as long
as we have faith and love for our country, we can always achieve
whatever we set in our minds. We have to reach out to as many
Filipinos as possible and send a powerful message of hope that we
could change our lives and this country, if we just believe. We need
to continuously learn, teach, inspire and motivate Filipinos and begin
the change by changing the way Filipinos think.

The Significance of
Exercising for Better Health
Exercise, together with a healthy diet, helps reach our body’s
maximum energy potential.
It also improves how we look and how we feel. It’s
vital for our over-all well being to understand the
importance of a daily physical activity in our life. We
need to move our bodies to increase the circulation
of oxygen and nutrients to our body organs. It also
strengthens our muscles and burn off unwanted fats
and stress chemicals.
TAKING THE FIRST STEPS
Humans are not designed to live an inactive life.
Unfortunately, modern technology has contributed
immensely to our sedentary lifestyles. From
motorized transportations to vacuum cleaners and
washing machines, our health is at great risk and
pays dearly with the simplest conveniences that
reduced to almost nothing the need for us to exert
efforts. Therefore it is essential for us to fill that gap
with regular exercise.
KNOW YOUR LIMITS
Not everyone can enjoy the benefits of what exercise
can bring. There are many things we should consider
before starting a regimen and a visit to a doctor first
is highly recommended; especially if you suffer from
a medical condition such as diabetes, heart disease,
high blood pressure, asthma or very overweight.
If you are aged 45+ and haven’t exercised for a long

 SPECIAL FEATURE
MANOLO “NOLI” SUBINGSUBING:

Living the Filipino Dream

Life had never been that easy to Manolo, an honest, unassuming, ordinary man and a native of Leyte. Noli,
as known to his friends, has worked his way up to the business world thru hardships and perseverance and
is now living a Filipino dream. With his successful ventures in real estate management and selling, he now
operates and co-owns the very first Filipino-Korean realty company in the Philippines.

The Daemyung Consulting and Realty Corporation caters mostly to our Korean counterparts and fellow
Filipinos living in Korea. He was able to bridge a gap between the two nations towards a mutual and healthy
business relationship. And with that partnership it grew to a thousand fold which prove to be a very rewarding
career for Noli.

Filipinos are naturally charming, highly conversable, neat, honest, hardworking and trustworthy. These are
the characters inherent to a man that made him a self made-success. Earning the trust of foreigners is a great
achievement shared not by everyone but to him it came in easily. Being a good steward can really make a
lifetime of a difference.

In December of 2009, Noli launched another feat and opened the first ever Filipino-Korean Store in Makati
City. The Quik24 is a 24-hour convenience store located at the lower ground floor of the Makati Palace
Hotel, in Burgos corner Caceres streets. It’s a one-stop shop offering a wide range of both local and Korean
products and services from grocery items, beverages to school and office supplies. It also serves Korean
cuisine and special delicacies for dine-in and take-out. Soon it will be opening up to other services such as
free delivery within its local area.

The onslaught of the global economic crisis didn’t hinder Filipino entrepreneurs like Noli from taking risk
on yet another venture and he’s still on the look-out for even more opportunities. He hope to share to others
the same confidence he has for our country and start building an empire the same way as he did from a mere
foundation of trust, determination and hardwork.
