Thanks for posting the above speech. I eagerly read it as I was ignorant of KAIBA's existence when I thought of starting a foundation, only to be disappointed at the end.
When I heard of the Barlin group from Vic sometime ago, I checked the website, became disappointed again - it says "to honor" the late Bishop but HOW? The rest of the home page was empty, except for ads.
It took me awhile to write this response because as an outsider, I mean, not a member of any of your groups, I might be perceived as an intruder. The truth is, as an outsider, I can be impartial, not critical, with suggestions - not condemnations.
Since my retirement over a decade ago due to a disability, I've thought of giving back to my native town but I don't like the idea of handing out money for whatever reason. Nothing is "free' anymore so it must be earned, from childhood on. This is "education" in the purest sense. The retired top professionals now, like me, were the "fruits" of such an education - this is what I believe: "It Takes Village" to educate. Environment is a big factor. I grew up when I sensed that the private school students were better than those in private schools, that one family's name and ancestors are better than mine, etc. This is now the 21st century and yet...
I've canceled my plan because KAIBA says it all in the name and there is no need for another organization. What I'd like to know is: What activities were there from 25 years ago to 2005? I did not read any "kausaran sa ikararaay" accomplishments. What happened from 2005 to the present? Is there five million pesos sitting idly in a bank?
The draft for my canceled org. is done but this comment is already too long. If anybody is interested, you know where to reach me. Thanks again - ACF (A Concerned Filipino}
Please excuse my error - I meant to say ".....that students in private schools......than those in public schools." Thanks, ACF
I'm INTERESTED!!! but how do I contact you???
Please check the Baao Historical Cultural Society Website. Thanks for your prompt interest.ACF
"It Takes A Village" is a book by Sen. Hillary R. Clinton on rearing and educating a child.

According to recently released statistics, there is ample evidence to suggest that manufacturing output is on the decline - one major indicator of recession. Pakistani manufacturing sector accounted for 25.9 percent of Gross Domestic Product in 2006-07. Or, in other words, about a quarter of our total GDP was sourced to the manufacturing sector. However, interestingly, in 2007-08 manufacturing accounted for 25.9 percent of GDP in comparison to the previous year's (2005-06) 26.1 percent.
Analysts who may allege that this decline, however insignificant, may well portend the start of a recession must note that there was a higher decline between 2004-05 and 2005-06: from 26.3 to 25.9 percent of GDP. These years were hailed by the then government of Pervez Mushrarraf as high growth years and high growth is not compatible with a recession. A closer look at the ingredients of manufacturing may provide some answers
