Editor's Note: Published on page A13 of the September 27, 2005 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer
IT ALL started when I was 10 years old. In 4th grade, my best buddy and I formed a secret society. That was an odd step compared with what other children were doing, which was to form groups based on a popular children’s TV series and naming themselves either “Shaider” or “Voltron.” Our peers usually kept themselves busy making cardboard spaceships or communicating with imaginary space stations by whispering to their wrists.
Our group was somewhat eccentric. We founded it upon the inspiration of a lesson in our Hekasi (Heograpiya, Kasaysayan at Sibika) class. We named our selves KKK -- for Kataastaasang Kagalanggalang mga Kids -- obviously a poor takeoff of the Katipunan.
The success of the society was overwhelming. We were able to recruit almost all of our classmates, except for five students who couldn’t read at the time. We even formulated our own codes for communication (which we also used as cheating codes), a policy for conduct, secret handshakes and identification cards. My best buddy and I acted as if we were reincarnations of Andres Bonifacio and Emilio Jacinto. And we addressed each other as “Ka.”
A week before we could perform our version of the “Blood Compact,” our society was discovered by school authorities. To this day I consider sitting in front of our guidance counselor the most troubling time of my life. All I could think of was finding out who squealed on us. I kept telling myself that traitors come in all ages.
Our principal, who belonged to the Stone Age, and our prefect, who was worse than a Nazi, confronted us in front of our stunned parents and labeled us as “gangsters.” In irritation, I explained: “We were only being patriotic. We were not acting like punks.”
Our principal’s eyes glazed upon hearing such proof of our rebelliousness. We were meted out the appropriate sanctions. Thus at an early age, cynicism began to corrode my sense of idealism.
After a month of depression and lying low, my best buddy and I decided to form another group. But this time we settled for a more politically neutral name: Bioman.
It was not until I was in high school that I regained the spark of idealism. To read and study the “Noli” and “Fili” was invigorating. I broke out of the shell of apathy.
I was fortunate to play the role of Elias when our class did a short film based on “Noli Me Tangere” to fulfill a school requirement. Coincidentally, my best buddy played the same role for his section.
My rediscovered idealism seemed to grow after I watched GMA Network’s rendition of “Jose Rizal” (I have a copy of its script signed by Marilou Diaz-Abaya) and read articles by Ambeth Ocampo. My friend and I swore as we watched the fireworks during the celebration of the Centennial of our Independence never to turn our back on the motherland.
Now it seems almost an eternity since I left the Philippines. My friend is dead-set on carrying on with his cause as a leftist, while I can be considered as a struggling capitalist. But while we may now be pose apart ideologically, we still share the same love and concern for the land of our birth. And every day that passes I thank God for moving me closer to the time when I will be going home.
Call me naïve, but I still believe in the resilience of our race. Behind my pursuit of higher education lies the dream of being able to teach in a university back home. The promise of living in a First World country is tempting. But I ask myself, “How can I disregard my citizenship when I belong to race of great heroes?”
It has been said that idealism gives the youth an edge over their elders. But for me, idealism is what distinguishes the able from the lazy cynic. Idealism is never limited by age, education or social status. Idealism is the driving force for the aspirations we have. It’s the reason for greeting each new day with a sense of hope and, without it, there would be little left for us to live for. A youth robbed of idealism is like a dehydrated body -- just cold flesh.
Cynicism is a cataract that blurs our vision. It is an intellectual pretension passed off as real intelligence.
The constant cycle of political dynasties replacing other dynasties holds backs the rise of genuine idealism. But no matter how tightly "trapo" [traditional politicians] cling to their positions, this should never be a reason to lose hope. It should not stop us from inhaling the breath of life.
There’s a line from “War of the Worlds” that I will always remember, which says: “When my body is ready, it will push (the splinter) out.” The same analogy applies to us. When our people and our system is ready, it will push the trapo out of our lives.
Idealism is tough to handle. Only those who are steadfast in their principles and strong can overcome the frustrations that challenge it. That is why only a few nurture idealism in their hearts for long.
Those who do not believe that things can be done should not stand in the way of those who pursue change. Jose Rizal put it this way: “Give way to the youth, so you will not be crashed.”

A 5 day vacation
It all started on September 17 with a 3 hour sleep causing a lack of quality sleep and after arriving 2 hours early, I had to wait for another 2 hours because my flight to Davao. So everything I planned to do was ruined. I was suppose to arrive at around 12 noon. I meet my friends at 1. We talk about stuff until 2 and then I take the bus to Cotabato. And due to the ineffieciency of my airline which I only took because of my free miles, I had to redo, replan and reorganize everything that has been planned. Good thing my uncle allowed me to stay over at their place for the night even if they were not around. So I was able to spend a good part of the day catching up on things with my friends.
I met with Taynee, Larvin, Luigi, Mimi and her boyfriend at SM City Davao. Pgie arrived later. It was funny how hard it was to realize that you guys have grown apart from each other for a while. There are times when you do not know where to start or how to start a conversation. It was sort of a 'memory gap' as in Larvin's terms. However, there are still some things that never change. We still have that geeky part inside us; that fascination for new technology and that never say die attitude when we get to try new things but somehow doesn't seem to work. It was more fun and heart warming to realize that even if we have indeed grown up and somehow grown apart, some things never change still. We catched up a little but by 9pm (yeah, it seems like a long time but it isn't really) we had to get going. I left fot Cotabato the next morning at 6am.
It was a long 5 hour drive to Cotabato on the September 18 but I managed to make it in time for the wedding which was scheduled at 3pm that same day. I was one of the groom's men, a part of the entourage. All my relatives were stressed out worrying if I would make it in time, which I did by the way. Its just that it is sometimes annoying to have people try to follow up on your every step and worry like hell that you have made wrong decisions. I not a kid anymore who has to be looked after every minute. When will they realize this?
Good thing the wedding went smoothly and by 10pm, I was burnt out and very ready for a good night's sleep. After a relaxing full body massage courtesy of the local masseust, I had rest. I woke up the next day at 630am. I was suppose to leave at 9 with kuya Charles Uy but plans changed. I left with my uncle and his family at 8. So at 7:45, I rushed my bathing and dressing. In less than 10 minutes, I was done, packed and ready to go. All my rest that night before was immediately put to good use.
It was a shorter travel as we were travelling on a private van. The 4 hour trip had food trips along the way. I had my taste of durian, rambutan and lanzones plus goats milk for the drinks. We arrived at Davao at 12. We had lunch, I rested a little and by 3 pm, I left to visit my elementary school.
I had a blast catching up with the former Ateneo Grade School Administrative Assistant Headmaster and now Ateneo High School Registrar.He showed me around the grounds recalling stuff, catching up on my teachers. I also enjoyed talking to my Grade 6 homeroom adviser. She was happy to see me too and I was glad she remembered me. She told me that most of my classmates were taking up Nursing and most are now Registered Nurses. Each has seemed to grow up so fast. The last time I recall, we were in the brink of puberty and now we are grown men and women.
I met with Taynee and the gang at GS (formerly known as JS) by 7pm. I waited 2 hours for them since most of them had classes. Taynee and her boyfriend Gab arrived and kept me company first, then came Jay, then Larvin and Luigi, then Pgie, and finally Coykee, who I had to call personally for the invite. We went straight to Rizal Promenade for a drinking splurge which I hope would reach until my birthday.
We ordered for hard drinks which somehow didn't seem hard enough as we were able to consume 3 pitchers with 7 of us left (2 were not heavy drinkers). By 12 midnight, they sang me my birthday song and toasted to my 21st birthday. I was glad I spent my 21st birthday in the presence of this set of people. By 1am, the gang was ready to go home. Most had exams and had come just to accompany me on my birthday (aww... :p). Pgie and Larvin had other plans however. Details will be released on a personal basis.
September 20 is my birthday. I spent half the day in Davao and was now in Cebu by 12 noon. I spent the day with my mom catching up on how things were among other family matters. We had dinner with my brother, sister, dad, and grandparents at Sunburst near Fuente. I forgot the name of the street. Somehow, it felt like a defining moment where I realized that there were a lot expectations from me now. There are many things that I should be responsible for yet despite which I know that my family trusts me and are proud that I am capable of handling my own life. At that moment, I knew that I have finally grown up.
The next day, I met up with one of my best elementary friends, Drew. We sort of catched up on each other's life over a 30 min lunch. We didn't get to stay on much longer as he still has work and I had to return home to pack and prepare for my flight that evening. It was good seeing old friends and catching up and this birthday vacation of mine helped me realize that growing up is not that painful most of the time. In fact, it can be a challenge that friends have to face and that despite have to grow apart in distance, it's just to make meeting up once again exciting. Cause there's just so much to talk about by then.
I can't wait to experience more in life now.

A tribute & a lesson learned
Every day is a learning experience. Every day we fall, we get hurt, we learn and we end up becoming stronger and better people. Today, I learn another lesson - that it is one thing to have a vision for yourself and it is another to have the guts, strength and courage to move towards that vision. Moreover, the fact that you become a catalyst to a chain of changes.
One person left the BI/DW team and today was his last. It seemed surreal to think that a person like him would leave. Someone who I will always remember not having been able to properly spell his family name correctly and he doesn't even know I can't spell it right yet :p. But seriously, he is someone who I thought had a lot of things going on ahead of him, a person who seemed to know where he was headed, what he wanted to do, and I thought that he saw himself in a longer term in the company. I guess, he saw himself a bit further than what I saw myself in the long run.
Long term goals, visions of the future - its funny how easy it was to formulate your goals before you experienced life's hardships (aka work) as compared to the dreams the young college graduating student used to dream. That doesn't stop one from dreaming though, it just adds some challenges (aka constraints) to your previously perfectly balance formula of the future. As from the movie, the Matrix, the Architect exists to balance the equations in the matrix, the Oracle exists to unbalance them.
Life is a matrix of equations. As we grow older, we try to balance out our equations continuously trying to perfect every equation. We could be using a great deal of different Numerical Methods in doing that too, thus resulting to each of us approaching perfection at different O(x) times where x = the sum equation of the numerical method used. But then, as perfection is reached, we gain experience and with experience we add additional factors into the equation unbalancing them and adding more arguments in what would have been the efficient program.
Life however, can not be defined or put into just a number of equations. Just like a team can not be exactly defined over time. As that cliche goes, nothing is permanent but change, and change is always good. It is both a learning experience and a challenge - a push out of your comfort zone.
To my officemate, a reliable DBA, a good friend and a big brother to everyone, the best of luck and my highest salutations to you! You are once again taking a step higher in the stairs we live through as life. Congratulations! :)

Mangyari Lamang
Mangyari lamang ay tumayo
ang mga nagmahal
nang makita ng lahat
ang mukha ng pag- ibig
ipamalas ang tamis
ng malalim na pagkakaunawaan
sa mga malabo ang paningin
mangyari lamang ay tumayo rin
ang mga nagmahal at nasawi
nang makita ng lahat
ang mga sugat ng isang bayani
ipadama ang pait ng kabiguan
habang ipinagbubunyi
ang walang katulad na kagitingan
ng isang nagtaya
mangyari lamang ay tumayo
ang mga nangangambang magmahal
nang makita ng lahat
ang kilos ng isang bata
ipamalas ang katapatan ng damdamin
na pilit ikinukubli
ng pusong lumaki sa mga engkanto at diwata
mangyari lamang ay tumayo
ang mga nagmahal, minahal at iniwan
ngunit handa pa ring magmahal
nang makita ng lahat ang yaman ng karanasan
ipamalas ang katotohanang nasaksihan
nang maging makahuluganang mga paghagulgol sa dilm
at sa mga nananatiling nakaupo
mangyari lamang ay dahan- dahang tumalilis
papalabas sa nakangangang pinto
umuwi na kayo
at sumbatan ang mga magulang
na nagpalaki ng isang halimaw
at sa lahat ng naiwang nakatayo
mangyari lamang ay hagkan ang isa't isa
at yakapin ang mga sugatan
mabuhay tayong lahat na nagsisikap na makabalik
sa ating pinagmulan
manatiling masaya
at higit sa lahat magpatuloy
sa pagmamahal
-isang tula na binasa ni bobby guev
ang mga nagmahal
nang makita ng lahat

umuwi na kayo
at sumbatan ang mga magulang
na nagpalaki ng isang halimaw
at sa lahat ng naiwang nakatayo
mangyari lamang ay hagkan ang isa't isa
at yakapin ang mga sugatan
mabuhay tayong lahat na nagsisikap na makabalik
sa ating pinagmulan
manatiling masaya
at higit sa lahat magpatuloy
sa pagmamahal
-isang tula na binasa ni bobby guev
