Breakfast With Tin's Adopted White Stray Kitten
 |
| Breakfast of hot bread of salt "pandesal," white cheese & coffee - with (daughter) Christine Marie Cumagun, (best friend and wife) Pelagia Milado-Cumagun and Tin's adopted white stray kitten June 30, 2014 Marikina City, Philippines |
Breakfast with new members of the family are worth remembering.
This morning of June 30th, 2014, breakfast was in celebration of a new addition to our wildlife family.
Christine Marie Milado-Cumagun or Tin-tin, my 1st daughter, whose friend couldn't take care of a stray kitten, volunteered to adopt and bring home her friend's stray white kitten last night.
Although this is over and above the other kittens that are already at home with us, the soft spot in my wild heart, after seeing how vulnerable the kitten is, decided to go along with the project of taking care of another wild life in the family.

came home last night from a training session in Tagaytay
and she brought "pasalubong" (take-home native food) of "kesong puti" (white cheese)
which we all partook for breakfast.
Aside from dining together was the opportune time to discuss matters of wild emotions and wild ideas in addition to the subject (literally on the table) which is wild life:
1.
Pet's excitement of Tacloban City government plans for rehabilitating Typhoon Yolanda victims in connection with her work with Center for Community Transformation;
2.
Tin's recent team-building activity;
3.
My teaching appointment at University of Santo Tomas consisting of Advertising Practice (Concept Development) and Natural Science (Earth & Life Science)
Dead moths, strewn in the garden doesn't normally fit in the ambiance of a pleasant breakfast but in this particular one, when Nature is the ambiance and Science is the conversation, it was picture perfect.
Teachable moment for my daughter, too, was this breakfast; I had the chance to practice correcting my daughter's conclusion that the cats had lepideptora for breakfast as they did with the rodents.
I was hoping our regular visitor, the black cat would drop in for the meal but it wasn't around.

I told her that moths have a short life span and that their job as pollinators are over; so is their life. We have had breakfasts of similar conversation but I must say, this breakfast with Tin's adopted white stray kitten, has been breaking of bread with the white cheese of learning as its butter.

Praying for a Journalist's Bright Future
I would like to report conduct unbecoming of Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism Multi-Media Deputy Officer Cong B. Corrales and recommend that he be retrained as a journalist according to PCIJ standards.
Cong Corrales is one of my students whom i regard highly. In fact he is one of my claims to greatness as a journalism teacher. He was one of the students i brought along with me in a mass mobilisation against Del Monte Philippines. Bukidnon in which i was reprimanded by the school principal.
Anti-Del Monte Plantation expansion in Impasug-ong, Bukidnon 1980
Cong and I chatted via fb pm before this incident and he told me "that day was memorable to him and had a bearing to what he does professionally now." Alas after 25 years I felt I did something right. My jubilation though was dampened by his behaviour recently.
Wasting away his talent for some reason i still do not know is the last thing I would like to happen. His behaviour towards me was so callous that I could only think of two possible causes: 1) his fb account has been hacked 2) he was on drugs or alcohol. I am not taking any chances and so this report.
Special mention of friends at PCIJ whom I seek extra attention on the matter: David Celdran (i hope you remember me producing "Filipino" infomercials with ABS-CBN News Channel during the Pres. Estrada impeachment), Sheila Coronel (we met at Miriam College during one of your talks) Ces Balgos (we are schoolmates).
I pray all will be well with our mutual friend Cong. May PCIJ prosper and live long.
He posted on Facebook a link of a Manila Times article about an Ateneo de Naga student who disrupted President Ninoy’s speech to which I commented
Sure, I am not if it is only I who can not see his Facebook post https://www.facebook.com/congcorrales/posts/10204324166252097 because I have been unfriended and consequently blocked by Cong because of this incident; it is possible he deleted the post, too if you can't see it, too.
However, being his teacher in Journalism in high school, I can not let this incident pass without his superiors at PCIJ knowing about this. I will try to recreate the conversation thread as accurately as I could.
"instead of disrupting the speech, the Ateneo student could have used social media — self publishing his blogs, for example — to share his discontent with the president."

Cong: Both the president and the student have equal freedoms of speech.Former teachers Evelyn Gomez, Roque Breboneria and 10 others I tried to reach out via post mentions and Clarita Hallares, was the only one I noticed who acknowledged my comments. To his peers fb group, I too posted:
Rom: Yes, but the student could have waited for the open forum.
Cong: I did not ask for your opinion. Why are you writing on my wall?
Rom: Is your FB profile hacked? I seem not to be conversing with the rational journalism student I know way back in Xavier University High School who is now a journalist at the PCIJ.
Cong: (in Visayan) Fuck teachers!
Rom: Kalinaw ug Kahusay.
