Manifest Greatness is a work-in-progress Manifesto of, for and by Filipino citizens of the world in synergy with foreign national friends of the Filipino people worldwide in pursuit of genuine entrepreneurial wisdom

by Marc Guerrero

with Danielle van Asch-Prevot, Jay Fajardo, Jocelyn de Jesus and Tato Malay

WE COME TOGETHER with the hope that there should be no poor Filipinos among the 100 million on home soil and over 10 million more spread through a hundred countries, whom instead of living life to develop their full potentials, are left with no choice but to exist and survive, rather than thrive, from day to day, for the past 50 years.

A philosophy of prosperity rather than that of survival shall be inculcated and actively nourished.

The penchant for self-pity should be discarded, and in its place, an attitude of pride and recognition of self-worth shall be harnessed.

The spirit of nationalism and patriotism should be reestablished in this generation and in our children’s generations.

Failures of the past should be remembered for the lessons they offer, but not as justification to fear the future and the opportunities it brings.

The attitude of optimism must prevail at all times.

There should be no poor people in the world – regardless of class, color or creed – specially for those who value work and discipline, self-drivers and go-getters, and those doing, accomplishing and achieving great undertakings and endeavors, not only for thy self, but also for others.

There ought to be no poor nor a culture of poverty of the mind, heart, spirit and a culture of poverty of the imagination as well, among the inherently happiest people on earth, born in the naturally richest lands and seas of Asia, and whose creativity and compassion are awe-inspiring and life-enhancing.

There ought to be no sick Filipinos nor there ought to be a culture of disease in the mind and a culture of disease in the spirit among the inherently healthiest people on earth who had anciently known that nature can heal and whose hands and hearts can heal the world.

There ought to be no more elder or younger Filipinos who will live in a culture of constant fear and in a culture of relentless greed any longer, aggravated by the lies and deceit and synonymous impropriety of their leaders that their followers may think as all right and in order, anymore, be they of and by their own doing or undoing, because from this day onward: 

We take charge. We invest.

You and I will take charge of our own destiny.

You and I will invest our time, our money, our talent, our energy, our technology, our entrepreneurship, our resources in evolving our complex present from an uncertain past into a colorfully better future.

We do this because it is not only our own future that is at stake. It is also that of our children, our grandchildren, our nation's and our world's future.

Our loved ones and others, they, too, deserve to live lives in freedom with responsibility and responsiveness to the call of the times. They, too, should live in happiness and in health, as did our great ancestors from whose discipline, truth, wisdom and values this manifesto takes inspiration, and better than we do today.

The future is here. And in constant pursuit of enlightenment and divinity, imagine love, peace, synergy, anything and everything there was, there is and there will be in positivity, probability, possibility and proactivity. That future starts in you and me – right here, right now. Make our future your personal challenge. Inspire others, believe, live, and hope that poverty will end, and our people will thrive.#

This Manifest Greatness manifesto is originally conceived of, envisioned and initiated for practical implementation by journalist Emmanuel Mario B Santos aka Marc Guerrero and Marc Guerrero Communications Inc on the 9th of December 2009 in Manila, The Philippines, to serve as guiding inspiration in the buildup of a YouNoodle group for the worldwide celebration of Global Entrepreneurship Week UK 2009 dubbed as “Genuine Entrepreneurship Workshops.” GEW Philippines shall come to be known as Entreprize Philippines, aptly, The Prize of Entrepreneurship in the World according to The Philippines, a private social media business startup project. (Philippine and world copyright 2009, 2010 by Emmanuel Mario B Santos aka Marc Guerrero and Marc Guerrero Communications Inc.

Welcome, Supermoon (Perigee-Syzygy) sa Elbi, Mabuhay!

Nag-aagaw ang liwanag at dilim kaninang dapithapon sa may UPLB habang papunta kami sa may groserya. Tumambad kay Marcus ang imahe ng pagkalakilaking buwan. "Wow, moon... Lipad tayo dun!," anang 4-year old na bata. Hindi pa batid ng paslit na Supermoon na pala iyon.

May tatlong ideya rito hinggil sa Supermoon.

Unang ideya:

SA EMPIRE STATE BUILDING OF THE HEART
Report ng Associated Press o AP mulang West Orange, New Jersey
Nailathala sa Inquirer Lifestyle

NEW YORK – The biggest and brightest full moon of the year arrives Saturday night as our celestial neighbor passes closer to Earth than usual.

But don’t expect any “must-have-been-a-full-moon” spike in crime or crazy behavior. That’s just folklore.

Saturday’s event is a “supermoon,” the closest and therefore the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. At 11:34 p.m., the moon will be about 221,802 miles from Earth.

That’s about 15,300 miles closer than average.

That proximity will make the moon appear about 14 percent bigger than it would if the moon were at its farthest distance, said Geoff Chester of the US Naval Observatory. The difference in appearance is so small that “you’d be very hard-pressed to detect that with the unaided eye,” he said.

The moon’s distance from Earth varies because it follows an elliptical orbit rather than a circular one...

Ikalawang ideya:

NAKATATAKOT ANG SUPERSTITION NA IKINAKABIT DITO

Pakahulugan ng Wikipedia

A "supermoon" is the coincidence of a full moon (or a new moon) with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, or perigee, leading to the technical name for a supermoon of the perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system. The association of the Moon with both oceanic and crustal tides has led to claims that the supermoon phenomenon may be associated with increased risk of events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. However, the evidence of such a link is widely held to be unconvincing.

Terminology. The name SuperMoon was coined by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979, defined as:

...a new or full moon which occurs with the Moon at or near (within 90% of) its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit (perigee). In short, Earth, Moon and Sun are all in a line, with Moon in its nearest approach to Earth.

The term supermoon is not widely accepted or used within the astronomy or scientific community, who prefer the term perigee-syzygy. Perigee is the point at which the Moon is closest in its orbit to the Earth, and syzygy is afull or new moon, when the Earth, the Moon and the Sun are aligned. Hence, a supermoon can be regarded as a combination of the two, although they do not perfectly coincide each time. Syzygy may occur within a maximum of 12 hours from perigee during a supermoon, and 1 hour from perigee during an extreme supermoon.

Ikatlong ideya:

ITO ANG PINAKAGUSTO KO mula sa aking Facebook

Ayon sa Elevate FB: We have the biggest FULL MOON of the year arriving on May 5th, during the Celtic festival of Beltane and known as Wesak Moon which is an auspicious day that celebrates the birth, life and death of the Buddha and Christ Consciousness.

“This Scorpio Full Moon is also called the Wesak Moon, the most auspicious day in Buddhism, for it celebrates the birth, enlightenment and death of Buddha. In this energetic opposition between Taurus and Scorpio, we are all called to the great union with Nature and the heavens, celebrating the Divine within Nature and within ourselves. Like the Buddha, we are called to acknowledge the divine spirit in our human nature as we overcome and release the emotional demons that plague us and separate us from our spiritual inheritance…”

“This potent full Moon, which is also another superMoon, meaning it is close to the Earth and therefore exerts a stronger pull on us, calls us to give birth to the powerful destiny seeded within each of us. This is the year to do it and now is the time to let go of the fears and the demons that keep us caught up in the delusions of our patriarchal society. We can band together with like-minded people (Venus in Gemini) and create a life that is meaningful, creative and strong (Mars in Virgo).”

“This Taurus/Scorpio Full Moon asks us to become aware of the people and things we give the highest value to, and to look at the emotional trauma that keeps us apart. It’s time to question our values and beliefs about money, power, happiness and our connection to each other and to the Earth. There are powerful forces at work determined to keep the old system alive, regardless of how many people and places it destroys. But we are equally powerful, and the Cosmos is lending us energy to break-through our paralysis and stand up for our beliefs. “ - Cathy Lynn Pagano.

Kung may isa o dalawang oras din kaming namili sa groserya. Pag-uwi namin ay bigla na lamang nagtaka si Marcus: "Bakit nawala agad ang moon?!" Hindi ko na nasagot ang bata.

Kayo po, ano ang pakahulugan ninyo sa Supermoon? marc_guerrero@journalist.com +63 916 495 3335. 

Mabuti pa ang Kuwarta, Salapi at Pera, May Tao

PILONCITO, kaunaunahang gintong pera ng mga kulturadong Filipino
ng 10th at 11th century PH, sa kagandahang-loob ng stacksbowers.com .

Feel good at feel great ako noong una kong mailathala ang orihinal na akdang ito sa aking occasional broadsheet newspaper, theBUSINESS Paper, gayundin sa Balita, tabloid ng mahigit sandaantaon nang broadsheet sa Filipinas, Manila Bulletin, at ng antigo na ring malaganap na magasin, ang Liwayway.

Sa mabilis na paglipas ng kung ilang kasaysayan, naisip-isip ko: "Bakit ang tao, nananatiling walang kuwarta, salapi o pera, gayong lahat silang 'namumulitiko (mas tumpak ang namumulitika),' pagmamahal sa bayan ang ipinangangako?"

Naalala ko tuloy, nalimutan nga palang ituro agad ng ninunong Filipino sa kanilang mga anak na ang bata pala – mulang bago mag-9 years old o pataas – puwede nang maturuan at matutong magnegosyo. Kung naisanay ang kabataang Pinoy na, imbes na puro gimik, pinagmaneho ng sariling kuwarta, salapi o perang pinagtuluan ng dugo, pawis at luha ng kanilang mga magulang – malamang sa hindi na 10 percent na lang ngayon ng may sandaang  milyong kababayan natin ang naghihikahos! 

Spoiled tayo sa ating mga parents, aminin man natin o hindi. Ayaw nila tayong papaghirapin (sukdulang magkasakit sila’t bumigay hanggang ‘di na makagulapay), kayat hindi natin masyadong ma- gets kung gaano kahirap kitain ang bawat piso na diyes sentimos na lang ang halagang kayang bilhin sa kasalukuyan. Ayaw nilang ipadanas sa atin ang pighating kanilang pinagdaanan. Hu… yabang! Pero, saludo tayo sa kanila.     

Ang mga eskwelahan naman natin, pansin ni dating NEDA chief Ciel Habito, inaaral tayong “maghanap ng trabaho, kaysa lumikha ng hanapbuhay” pagkagradweyt, o kahit na sa pag-drop out, dahil wala nang panustos sa pag-aaral. Pinakukuntento na lang aniya tayong “umasa sa suweldo, kaysa matutong makalikha ng kayamanan.” Kaya ang karaniwang estudyante, jobber (o salarymen, sa mga Hapones) ang kinahihinatnan, imbes na magsigasig na makapagtatag ng sariling business – kesehodang from scratch, microbiz, small o medium enterprises lang, o underground muna (‘tsaka na lang gawing big) – at makapagbigay ng trabaho sa iba, makapag-ambag ng buwis na hindi dapat waldasin ng mga nasa gobyerno. “Entrepreneurship can be learned (hindi ito inborn lang),” dagdag pa ni UP-grad propesor Habito ng Ateneo, at iyan po ang pagpupunyagian nating pag-aaralan dito sa filnafil time at space natin para sa inyo. 

Ang layunin po natin dito, maging daan tungo sa paghahaghag ng tinatawag na “entrepreneurship values” sa mga nasa grade school. Tapos, subukan pa ring makapagturo ng “entrepreneurship skills” sa mga nasa high school at college. Pagkatapos, i-practice natin ang pagpapalitan natin ng ideas, ideals at wisdom sa pagnenegosyo. Kung mga tatay at nanay, tiyuhin at tiyahin, lolo at lola natin ang noo’y mahilig bumili at magbasa, ngayo’y maise-share na nila sa pamamagitan ng filnafil sa mga bagets, o the other way around. “It is divine to be rich,’ di ba sabi ni Deng Xiaoping, komunistang niyakap ang kapitalismo. 

Walang ituturing na masamang tinapay rito sa ating malayang talakayan na may paggagalangan sa karanasan at expertise ng mambabasa.

PERA ng Pinoy sa pamumuno ni PNOY,
sa kagandahang-loobn ng philippinecountry.com .

Kasi nga po, masyado na tayong kulelat sa ating mabilis mga magsipag-unlad na kapitbansa sa Southeast Asia, gayong noong araw, estudyante lang po sila ng ating mga experto na karamihan ay ine-enjoy na lang (kahit malungkot, malamig, minamaliit, nilalait, inaaglahi, at sakmalan nang sakmalan) ang pagtatrabahong namumukiki sa dolyares kayat madaling makabili ng ganito at ganoong materyal na bagay – sa Amerika at Europa.

Pero hindi pa huli ang lahat. Malaki pa ang pag-asa nating matuto sa mga kababayan nating Chinese, sa mga kabiyak na Japanese at Koreano ng ating mga kababaehan, sa mga Bumbay, Arabo at ibang kapatid na Muslim, sa mga Hudyo o Jewish, at gayundin sa mga kababayan nating hardworking Ilocano, Pangasinense, Pampango, Batangan, Bicolano, Cebuano, Ilonggo, Waray at Mindanaoan. Para bukas-makalawa, “ang tao, magkakaroon na rin ng kuwarta, salapi, pera.”

Sabi Da: Ang entrepreneurship ay sistema o programa na kumpletos-rekados sa good business sense at hitik sa social conscience; samantalang ang business – kadalasan at hindi kung minsan – puro profit o tubo lang ang isinasaalang-alang. So, ano ka, kaibigan, businessman o entrepreneur? O huwag kalilimutang magparamdam, ha? Sa susunod na mga isyu, maaari na tayong maging lalo pang interactive, convergent, interlinked and interconnected: marc_guerrero@journalist.com #

STORY OF PHILIPPINE MONEY from the Central Bank of the Philippines
http://www.bsp.gov.ph/bspnotes/brief_evo.asp

Inspired ni Joey de Leon

Filipinong-Filipino ang kahulugan ng FilnaFil. Feel na feel natin ang ating pagka-Filipino saanman tayo naroroon sa mundo. Tayo ay filled up na filled up kapag tayo ay masaya; hindi baleng wala o tama lang sa araw-araw na ginawa ng Lumikha, basta ang mahalaga sa Filipino ay masaya tayo, malaya tayo at hindi tayo nagkakasakit. Ang ultimo nating inaadhika o minimithi sa buhay ay maging fulfilled na fulfilled tayo sa lahat ng bagay. 

SALINTSHIRT ni Joey de Leon sa "No One is Above the Law" (linyang pinaghugutan din ni Mayor Fred Lim pamaskil ng mga pader sa buong Maynila, pero hanggang 2013 na lang iyan), sa kagandahang-loob ng Aliwan Avenue corner Show Blvd blog ni Xixi Maturan. 

Siyanga pala, noong 1989, may cartoon strips ang renaissance gentle Filipino na si Joey de Leon sa pahinang pinamatnugutan ng journalist at editor na si Marc Guerrero para sa Diyaryo Filipino, ang pamagat ay “FilnaFil.” Sa obrang iyan humugot ng inspirasyon ang filnafil ng ika-21 siglo ng mga pagsasalin ng lahing Filipino. Maraming salamat, Joey de Leon, sa pamana mong iyan sa kasalukuyan at susunod na henerasyon ng kabataang Filipino!
