CORY AQUINO : The Mother of OUR Democracy

2009-08-03T18:39:00.001-07:00

Corazon Cojuangco Aquino, the greatest mother for all Filipinos, a strong advocate of Peace and Democracy, an Icon for women empowerment.

She was the Philippine Republic's 11th President. The David that killed the dictatorship of Marcos in 1986. The widow of the late Senator and hero Senatro Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr.

She was now dead die to cardio-pulmonary arrest after complications of her colon cancer. She was 76 years old.

Now the remains of the beloved former President is being seen at the various locations for public viewing. From La Salle Greenhills Gymnasium to the Manila Catheral where large numbers of Filipino people gather and reminiscing the moments that topple the dictator's regime.

All you can hear are the people's chant of Cory! Cory! Cory! till she was entered the Cathedral's lobby. From the scorching heat of the sun, the Filipinos brave to profess their love and respect for the former president of the Philippines.

Personally, I really admire the sincerity and the humbleness of President Aquino. I don't have any acquaintances nor recollection with her, but a mere advocacies of democracy and willingness to serve the people. I was moved by her death.

My heart is full of sorrow and I have been mourning her untimely death. For I believe she could have done many more things that could benefit the entire nation.

So long President Cory and Many Thanks for this DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM that you have won for us.

A(H1N1) is here in Iloilo City!

2009-06-17T17:13:00.000-07:00

A confirmed case of the widely spread Swine Flu or the most infamous A(H1N1) virus is now here in Iloilo City.

A 38 year old seaman was the first victim of the virus in the city. And he is now in the cradle of health care in the Western Visayas Medical Center.

Healh officials said a 38-year-old seaman in Iloilo who had just arrived from Germany tested positive for A (H1N1).

Recently, there are also cases of a positive infected people in the neihgboring city of Bacolod. And they were kids, but health officials said that they were mild. " Now, can some people tell us honestly on what should we felt in times like this?" Mild cases...and don't panic. This is already a pandemic and we are now in the world alert level 6.

But I will agree...because in panicking there is nothing that it could help. But instead, we should be more vigilant in battling this virus. Personal hygiene ladies and gentlemen.

Here are some of my public concern tips:

1. Don't cough all round, especially when you are in the public places.
2. For Christ's sake cover your mouth when you can't hold your coughing or sneeze.
3. If you are not carrying something to cover your mouth, immediately WASH YOUR HANDS. (Tips in your washing your hands, as Health Secretary would suggests: "While washing your hands do it with soap and a running water, and sing 2 happy birthday songs"
4.If you want to discard or excrete something out from your nose...USE A TISSUE and NOT A HANDKERCHIEF.. TISSUE IS DISPOSABLE. Therefore, throw that used tissue immediately in the trash can.
5.Bring some alcohol or hand sanitizers while you are in a journey.
6. Don't panic but be more VIGILANT for your health.

The PROPOSED CHARTER Amendments

2009-06-10T20:24:00.000-07:00

Here is the copy that I have found in the Internet, blogs, due to my eagerness to find out what those 172 Tongressmen are having in mind. Basically its a Parliamentary form of Government that they are after obviously. For Gloria will be their Prime Minister. See what kind of filthy hogs are they?

Matrix House Proposed Charter Amendments

JOIN THE CALL AGAINST CON-ASS

SAY HELL NO TO CHARTER CHANGE

2009-06-10T19:38:00.000-07:00

What is the real concept of Con-Ass or the Constituent Assembly?

As the world famous Wikipedia.org will define CON-ASS. Con-Ass" is one of the three modes in which the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines could be amended or revised. The others were People's Initiative and Constitutional Convention.

But why people nowadays wears this necklace made from garlic, and they are not just people but members of the Senate. Why people last June 2, 2009 disturbed while they were asleep, while majority of the politicos are having a party in the fence of Gloria.

It is because of the passage of House Resolution 1109. Here is the copy of that House Resolution numbered 1109. House Resolution No. 1109 House Resolution No. 1109

So yesterday, people from all sector of our beloved society came to designated place of protest. They are now the start of the continued protest of the true majority. Not by this 172 Congressmen living in Gloria's poo of money.

People swarms the city streets of Makati, Davao, Dagupan,Bacolod, Iloilo, Manila, and Cagayan De Oro.

This is for me, the OPNENING SALVO of protest against the "Gloria Regime", "Gloria Forever Scenario". This will continue until the expected last SONA or the State of the Nation Address of Gloria Arroyo on July 27, 2009.

JOIN the CALL against Charter Change of Gloria.

PEPSI 349 Case MUST BE REOPEN

2009-05-22T00:09:00.000-07:00

The Scam of the Pepsi 349..? Anyone of you almost forget it?

Well I don't...my mother will never forget it.

Not just because we have that crown caps with those 3 digit winning combination, but because we want justice to prevail.

Not just because of the fortunes that me and my family would get, but because of the struggles of the many people especially those who are poor, who still remains to be poor.

This is the reason why the 7th Magnum blog is now dedicated for this call of reopening the said case.

I am not a lawyer though, but I can express something which in accordance of TRUTH and JUSTICE for the Common Good.

News indicates that the case is close....But I and the others who are still hoping for the continuity of this case will stand our grounds for this simple cause of giving us not only the favor of giving us 500 pesos...or the amount of the prize money..But tell us the TRUTH...

I am an avid fan of PEPSI...especially of the PEPSI MAX...but now I will call on the people who are in the side of JUSTICE AND TRUTH...DO NOT PATRONIZE PEPSI AND OTHER PRODUCTS and even their promotions which may still lead to another scam, scandal.

I will call on again to NOW PATRONIZE if they are willing to explain to media, to the people, who are holders of the winning caps, to the next generation of other cap holders (for some maybe because of the real holders are now six-feet below the ground and still hoping for the prize money) ON HOW DID THEY TURN THEIR BACK TO US...THEY BETRAYED US....

THE ALEC BALDWIN's APOLOGY

2009-05-20T19:03:00.000-07:00

"I'd like to offer an apology and a clarification to remarks I made recently.

While on the David Letterman program, I joked that I might need a "mail-order bride" to achieve the goal of having more children in my life. I believe that most people understood that this was a joke and took it as such. (A dated reference, no doubt, and another sign of my advancing age.) However, I do apologize to anyone who took offense. The comments of some Philippine government officials come as no surprise to me, either. Even the one by a former action film star-turned-Senator who beckoned me to come to the Philippines so he could "beat" me over my comment.

Such anger and frustration about the issue of sex trafficking is understandable. The Philippines has suffered significant problems with the issue of sex trafficking and I would like to turn your attention to the work of an organization called Love146 that my brother Stephen educated me about. Visit their website at www.love146.org and learn of the important work that is being done, in various regions of the world, by Rob Morris and his co-founders and staff.

I had met with Rob in New York, some months before the Letterman appearance, in the hopes of helping him raise money for this group. Again, I apologize for the perceived insensitivity of that remark and ask you to visit the Love146 site."

Red Cross Hostages Beheading Set

2009-03-30T18:44:00.000-07:00

Abu Sayyaf Group Al Qeada linked extremist / terrorist is now ready to behead their captives as the ultimatum expires this day.

Abu Sayyaf commander Albader Parad threatened to behead one of the three Red Cross hostages _ who include a Swiss, an Italian and a Filipino _ at 2 p.m. Tuesday (0600 GMT) unless police and militiamen withdraw from 15 villages on Jolo Island within 24 hours, Interior Secretary Ronaldo Puno said.

"Their demands as of last night are physically impossible to comply with by anybody," Puno said at a news conference, adding they will continue to find ways to save the hostages "up to the last minute."

As recalled the extremist wants the Philippine Forces to withdraw its men from said locations of the hilly mountains of Indanan in Sulu. And now they want a total pullout of all military in the village.

Charter Change or your PDAF or even your SARO

2009-03-26T22:10:00.000-07:00

Desperate tactics are now in the midst to have the Charter change (Cha-cha) pushed through via Constituent Assembly or Con-ass to ensure her (PGMA) of continued stay in the top political office of the land, President Arroyo believed has blessed the bribe amounting to P1 billion in congressional projects — to cover soft and hard components of their pork barrel plus cold cash of a million pesos each — in exchange for their “irreversible” vote for changes in the Constitution to usher in term extensions for all elective officials on a hold-over capacity, in preparation for a parliamentary system, opening the door for Mrs. Arroyo to run as a member of parliament.

As if the the Arroyo couple is now moving heaven and earth just to make the push for Charter Change. By withholding the SARO or the Special Allotment Release Orders (not contented of not giving the pork to those representative who really needs the money). This allegations is being confirmed by the DBM or the Department of Budget and Management through the Philippine Daily Tribune.

It is been said the "too many congressmen are not happy with the Palace's handling the situation." "and it is indeed pressuring the top leadership of the House of Representatives (Nograles) in a speedy approval of the House Resoultion in convening the Con Ass or the Constituent Assembly. Nograles actually says he is not a "lapdog" to the Palace or to GMA or even to the Arroyo's but he is an ALLY.

I HOPE THIS TRUE..."ALLIES RESPECTS EACH OTHER".

I think HR #737 will be tackled this April 13 as the House goes back in session. Therefore we must act in vigilance to protect our democracy and freedom.

The still unnumbered resolution needs only 22 more congressional endorsements to reach 197 supporters from Congress which comprises the three fourths votes passed the HR and to amend the Constitution.

I really smell something wrong here...if this House Resolution is passed by the House of Representatives via 3/4 vote then there will be A NO-EL Scenario.

This might be a Nightmare for SOME

2009-03-17T17:18:00.000-07:00

Cesar Mancao, Michael Ray Aquino and Glenn Dumlao are former policemen of our country right? Just like the released assailant of former Senator Ninoy Aquino. And let me just tell you this, THE case of Dacer-Corbito is just another double murder case that will be left unclosed and denied of justice until this men came to the Philippines unharmed and alive, then reveals the names who are accountable and testify in court proceedings.

Another "Aquino-Galman" in the making ladies and gents. People who are still in power and still with influence can manipulate the system. So go to hell! you know who you are.

Justice Secretary Raul M. Gonzalez says and I quote "Mancao was concerned about his security if and when he returns to the Philippines to testify on the murders of publicist Salvador “Bubby” Dacer and his driver Emmanuel Corbito in 2000." and "Mancao wanted to serve as state witness in the case and be cleared of all charges."

See, why did Cesar Mancao is afraid to testify in this heinous crime? It is because BIG MEN in Philippine Politics wants to eradicate this BIG MOUTHED son of a gun. Maybe, he is under the "brothers' keepers code" of their society of some kind.

Good luck to my country then.

Presidentiables for 2010 Election

2009-03-12T17:58:00.000-07:00

Here is my independent and analytic opinion on the Presidentiables for the upcoming automated elections next year.

Intentions are now clear and they have paved the way for an expected hot election climate by December this year. As we approached the "D-Day" let us collaborate some issues for each of this "future presidents alike".

Let us Start with Francis "Chiz" Escudero. The young and the "voice of the nation" as his campaign slogan speaks. Well what can we say, he has done the Philippines become more oppositionist against this Arroyo-Regime. He is the one makes me angry with this administration and I hope that I am not the only one.

Manuel "Manny" Villar The "Mister Sipag at Tiyaga". Former Senate President ousted by his friends in the Upper House. Like Julius Ceasar hmmm... His strong diplomatic appraoch in the Senate leads to his loss of that power to govern but let us face that scenario. It is given that politics tends that to happen.

Manuel "Mar" Roxas....Bayani Fernando....Noli DeCastro.....and there is ERAP anew and even Chief Justice Puno...and El Shaddai Leader Mike Velarde....

Only people can tell...not by mere surveys and opinions. It is the people's choice.

2010 automated polls budget updates

2009-03-03T20:38:00.000-08:00

The House of Representatives voted in favor of the P11.3-billion supplemental budget on third reading Tuesday night, the House of Representatives is eyeing the approval of either one of two "companion bills" that will likely determine how the 2010 elections will be conducted.

HB 5715, the measure allocating an P11.3-billion supplemental budget for election automation, was approved Monday night with 193 affirmatives votes, one negative vote, and one abstention.

Now its the Philippine Senate will have to approved this supplemental budget for the COMELEC to start their work.

2010 Automated polls in GREAT Peril

2009-03-01T16:59:00.000-08:00

The Commission on Elections may have to abandon its plan to fully automate the 2010 elections because of Congress’ delay in passing the P11.3-billion automation budget has compromised election preparations, according to Comelec Chair Jose Melo.

“We are really pressed for time. We are toying with the idea that it won’t be full capacity. Maybe we will automate 50 percent, not nationwide,” he said.

What is wrong really with the automated polls this coming national and local elections this coming year of 2010? Are the congressmen afraid that there will be no fraud in their districts?

The Congress should act upon this calling of not only the COMELEC but of the Filipino people as well. They only have 3 days do so or the election in our country will be as traditional as ever "manually" full of frauds.

An Invisible Threat

2009-02-25T23:01:00.000-08:00

The proposed bill of "Right of Reply" by both houses of Congress is a clear threat poses against the Media.

I am not a media personnel but, I can rely on media rather than the government today and for the future maybe. This proposed bill of Right of Reply can dictate the media outlets such as: radio, newspaper, television and maybe here in the web to have a space for "their" reply on the issue.

In a free society you cannot dictate the media of such acts.

Discussion continued in The Political Agenda.

Risa Hontiveros-Baraquel announces her bid

2009-02-24T23:17:00.000-08:00

That's right the good-looking and brave solon of the Prty-List Akbayan has announced her plans to run for senator this 2010 national elections.

In a press conference, Hontiveros said she has decided with her party-list to "take a calculated risk" in 2010 to help usher in a new brand of politics.

"We are running for the Senate in 2010," said Hontiveros, who began her career as a legislator during the 13th Congress.

The lawmaker said she first made her announcement during her birthday dinner last Monday night. Among those who attended were Akbayan members, Liberal Party members, and Senators Manuel Villar and Alan Peter Cayetano.

With this...Belated Happy Birthday to you madame.

Please I hope there soon to be more candidates-to-be from the roster of the Opposition.

Philippine veterans awaits the package

2009-02-24T16:35:00.000-08:00

Our dear Philippine veterans from World War II awaits the benefits of being pensioners as the stimulus act of the United States is being approved.

It was said that in the Obama administration "no one should be left behind". He indeed stood up in his promise, by signing the economic stimulus bill ($787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) thus making it a law. Tucked in the legislation is a provision appropriating $198 million for the Filipino veterans who fought alongside the U.S. forces during the WWII. This act could pay the long-overdue debt to the Philippine war veterans of the second world war.

They were promised payments in fighting against Japanese but never were paid. A blessing indeed for the remaining 18,000 survivors who really needs the money here and overseas.

With the bill signed, how soon can we see the release of these benefits?
Ret. Major Gen. Delfin Lorenzana, head of the Veterans Affairs office of the Philippine Embassy said: “It takes about 90 days for them to set up the mechanism. The target is to start immediately so they can start processing the papers immediately. They expect, maybe an estimate within three months there will be some benefits.”

All Planes Must Retire

2008-09-02T19:06:00.000-07:00

The Philippine Air Force should have avoided all the deaths of our fellowmen in the coat of arms.

This deaths are inexcusable, for that is not their fault to sit-in to this junk planes of other countries. The most tragic event that really shredded my interest to be a proud Filipino Airmen is that our C-130 cargo plane had gone down in the Davao Strait.

We have only 3 ("I stand corrected if I'm wrong") active C-130 plane in doing the task of transporting relief goods, reinforcement for our troops in the field, or even for rescue operations. These are considered as the work-horse of the Philippine Air Force here in our country.

But now, we are standing again for another investigation on what really happened to that unfortunate plane and its 9 crew.

I raise this proposal to our leaders in government that all planes in our air force should have a
"mandatory retirement" for our planes and ask for the DND (Department of national Defense) to secure budget for allocation of new set of cargo planes and other kind of planes. So that persons like me may still have the passion to be an airman of the Philippine Air Force and lived-in to the motto that "Future is in the Skies..."

RAMADAN starts today

2008-08-31T17:14:00.000-07:00

The beginning of the month of September starts the whole-month celebration of the Ramadan for our Muslim brothers.

This is the equivalent in the Christian religion of the Holy Week. In this we must observed their tradition and culture in regards with this celebration.

Hence, we must call for a peaceful and a calm offensive against this renegade rebel and insurgents MILF in Mindanao. I do not consider this rebels as a part of our brother Muslims, they are nobody for me.

So go on with the offensives and never surrender until the two commanders fall into the hands of our government.

A Skrull Among Us

2008-08-13T22:19:00.000-07:00

Maybe here's something to tickle us while we are in the time of depression (Lost of our only boxer in the Olympics, Harry Tañamor, war in North Cotabato by the MILF and Governement forces, Anomalies in our government, issues of Cha-Cha or the charter Change..etc.)

Well, "what on Earth is a Skrull by the way?" They are fictional race of extraterrestrial shape shifters from the Marvel Comics. They are indeed "evil" as pure evil as you think of.

Well, now you have the reason to believe that PGMA is evil. Because she is a SKRULL after all.

This was taken in Highfiber 0.0 showing the compilation of world leaders being possessed by the empire of the Skrull in one of the editions of the comic book. The art was done by our fellow Filipino Leinil Francis Yu.

Now, let us reflect on this one with a Smile...or even a Laugh perhaps....

GMA Please Stop Selling Our Lands

2008-08-04T01:27:00.000-07:00

This is my version of saying my opposition to this BJE (Bangsamoro Juridical Entity) or proposals to stop the ARMM elections and submit to the extension of the said region.

Other sectors of our society has voiced-out their sentiments regarding this opted civil-war. I do agree with Vice-governor Manny Piñol of North Cotabato this is a picture of betrayl of the Philippine governement face-to-face.

At least the supreme court had standed on the grounds of true peace on this issue. They urge the parties to halt the signing of the MOA. It is because of the numerous complaints and opposition regarding this proposals of MILF to the Philippine government.

PGMA, stop tearing our country, by selling them to our enemies. Instead of having a solution for our small problem we are about to lose this hope and begin to ponder why we have this new BIG problem.

The 8th SONA of PGMA

2008-07-28T22:13:00.000-07:00

Another speech of the Philippine President that will mark in the history of the Philippines.

The State of the Nation Address of the president, banded with lies and broken promises of this administration. She is well dressed and well-educated regarding the fall and rise of her speaking tones. i never thought that she has that "tutorial" before the introduction by the Speaker of the House Nograles.

She is firm a anyone could get in defending the Value Added Tax. She is also firm that she has this achievement for the poor. She is also "god-damned" firm in making this "decisions".

This is another lies for her benefit in the political arena or should i say beware of the 2010 election postponement maybe she will be running again...

The only thing that PGMA will make me stand up and clap my hands is that she will address her failure to govern and saiyng in a vindictive tone of "I do Resign" but this is ridiculous in my part for she is is standing firm in that podium.

This is her allegedly Legacy phase for the Filipino people. So let us just be vigilant in days to come. I have this gut feeling that maybe if, PGMA sponsoring a bill or a proposal for Federalism...welcome Prime minister Macapagal-Arroyo.

PUP's Mock Election

2008-07-14T17:57:00.000-07:00

The Polytechnic University of the Philippines had their mocked presidential election. And the results are in: Senate President Manny Villar is the top choice for president.
The Senate President had a 266 vote-lead against the Liberal Party's candidate Senator Mar Roxas.

Villar received a total of 800 votes followed by Senator Mar Roxas with 534 votes. Vice President Noli de Castro has 330 votes while Eddie Gil has 65.

On the other hand Senator Loren Legarda was “elected” as vice-president by 921 voters followed by Batangas Gov. Vilma Santos with 358 and Senator Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada with 342.

The mock presidential and vice-presidential elections was conducted by PUP College of Economics, Finance and Politics from July 9-10.

Frank's Rage

2008-06-24T17:34:00.000-07:00

June 21, was a day to remember..A day to reminisce the devastation and destruction of either lives and crops of this land.

Typhoon Frank devastated the Province of Iloilo, and its cities. Me and my family for ones along with other thousands of individuals experience the ravishing force of the nature. The force of the nature against the man-made barriers and structures.

Indeed we are no match against the fury of nature.

The house of my "lolo" in the village of Sambag, Jaro was one of the totally devastated sites of the typhoon. my aunts small "sari-sari" store was also a victim of this cause.
The speed of the flood was triple as compared with the last flood that we had experience in 2002.

Our neighbors now clamors and claiming that their lives are being ruined by this unfortunate event. Other do claim that 80% of their livestocks perished. Cock breeders are also victimized by Frank's rage.

Other sites that had tasted this kiss of the nature's fury are, Pavia, Janiuay, San Miguel, Oton, and other parts of the Western Visayas Region or the Panay Region.

All we can ask for is that the government will now take a remarkable step in making the lives of the people easier in recovering from this painful tragedy.

I hope so....

Another Transport Strike!?!

2008-06-02T18:28:00.000-07:00

What do you think this is? The transport sector are setting another threat to our fellow commuters that they will hold another transportation strike.

After a week of a provisional fare increase, they are now back in the air in threatening the government (LTO) by demands of another fare increase due to a surmountable, heavy oil prices.

Still the government is playing a sick eye, and a deft ear for We not them who will eventually suffer in this days to come transport strike.

I agree with the LTFRB chair, saying that "fare hike must be a last among the last resort". So let you guys talk before suggesting another strike.

In my opinion, scrap the 12% VAT on oil products and transfer it to the vices of our society..(cigarettes, casino among others).

Crimes in Laguna "part 2"

2008-05-26T20:18:00.001-07:00

This is just a follow on my blog with the same title.

The authorities are now playing their own tactics just to demise and discredit us from arriving to our conclusions. They are trying to make a false conclusive facts that the "supposed" suspects are killed in a shootout with the operative under the RCBC task force.

But all of this are FALSE, because families and close relative serves too many testimonies that victims are with them, in their house, in their premises andnot executing any crimes.

They are indeed the victims, not of a shootout but of a "rob out".

Please I am stand corrected if there are any proofs that leads to the close sure of this RCBC Murder. If the authorities act as if they are to be respected well there is another "eskalawags" among the men in uniforms. I really don't doubt that.

To the authorities, please tell us the truth regarding the status of this case. Are you doing all of the means to solve this case? Do you know this suspects, or should I say they are your beloved comrades...?

Crimes in Laguna

2008-05-19T23:54:00.000-07:00

What on earth are this animals are thinking? Are these the work of a normal human, we believe that it is not. It is indeed a work of the devil.

How can you imagine the tragic death of the RCBC Bank employees in Cabuyao, Laguna Branch? Being shot in the head at point blank (close range)and standing in one line "like they are being schedule for a summary execution".Are the henchmen of hell are here. I believe so.

And a few days ago, the massacre in one of the hilly village in Calamba, Laguna raged with gunshots "like there was a hell of a gunfight" killing 10 on the spot and wounding 6.The suspect is still at large but a certain retired SPO4 Peria is now under custody of the local police for criminal investigation regarding the heinous crime, for a recovered empty M-16 assault rifle bearing his name.

20 Peso increase....?

2008-05-15T20:13:00.000-07:00

President Arroyo has the conclusion for the nation's battle for a wage hike. It's 20 peso increase for the workers in Metro Manila and in Calabarzon.
The President made this announcement during the 29th National Conference of Employers at the Manila Hotel.

Still the labor sector keeps its "defensive stance" regarding this development released by the president. Arguments in contrast with this 20 peso hike are now even larger that they still demand for the 125 across the board wage increase.

This pronouncement made by the president was even ahead of schedule of the wage boards. And the opposition to this proposals and to this government was stating that the wage boards per se are nothing but a lameduck organization or agency under the commands of this regime acting for the sake the labor sector in representation on their behalf.

But after all, the labor sector and indeed the majority of the Filipino people are working hard just to feed their beloved family and sustain a decent and moral living. With a 20 peso increase, thanks but no thanks....

Federalism a Go or a No?

2008-05-14T19:12:00.000-07:00

Federalism, an idea or philosophy in politics. A form of government which is divided into two subdivisions of authority. The Central government and the autonomies (states).

The Philippines is at present a unitary-presidential type of government. But, a proposal of turning the country's system of government into a federal-presidential. There are still other people does not want this change, because people are still scared of a plot to remain the current president in her palace and remain those politicians under her seat.

Another plot it is and we are in peril if this could be done. But on the other side of this blog, we are open I hope for change in this country. Let the charter of 1987 be change but given to a fact that it is laid on the table of the majority of the people. Because in the people emanates the law and the constitutional power of this politicians.

To the proponent of this change in both the house and the senate please be reasonable enough to face the majority of the people in the change that you want to do in our country's behalf. And try to moderate your greed. Be more specific in the change in the charter you want to amend.
