“He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.”

THE twin tragedies that walloped the Americans in the jugular veins in the first two quarters of 2020 should have been enough for some foreign-born residents like me to fold like a tin can mentally and emotionally.
But my motto remains to be: “Aunt Liberty (referring to the Statue of Liberty), walang iwanan. I’m here to stay.”
While battling the coronavirus’ gut-wrenching lockdown and quarantine since March, and the ongoing George Floyd-whipped lunacy in the street, most of us have refused to call it a night in as far as pursuing and living the American Dream is concerned.
Life is still good in America, we mutter silently.
Although a pandemic, we figure COVID-19, like a nightmare, will eventually retreat and vanish like a smoke in the wind so we can reevaluate and restructure our lives again as normal human beings.
Even if the now escalating street violence threatens to further cripple the chances of some of us to go back to employment soon when the Phase I of reopening of the New York economy beckons, we think authorities are still on top of the situation and will soon restore peace and order to its unmolested glory without a need to choke more protesters to death ala George Floyd.
We can walk down Manhattan’s glitzy thoroughfares again soon without fear of being mugged and blasted in the head by a flying bottle of urine thrown by “I can’t breathe”-chanting protesters and rubber bullets fired by overstressed and tormented cops.

As of this writing, I haven’t monitored an incident in the ongoing acts of violence, looting, and vandalism where a Filipino was involved or injured.
Safety from possible infection of the treacherous COVID-19 remains to be the priority of most of us, thus we are adamant to go out and use the riots as a prop if we wish to impress friends and families in the Philippines and other countries in the social media.
Members of the Filipino family, as well as other Asian communities, avoid, if they can, the areas where violent showdowns and dispersals involving protesters and police are taking places.
Better to be safe than be an uzizero and sorry.
No Pinoy would dare march to where the action is unfolding and use the chaos and turbulence as a background for a “selfie” or “live” Tiktok session.
In TV and other news platforms, it seems like America is burning—chaos and loud exchange of shouts and angry condemnation of what happened to Floyd dominate the surroundings.
But in our apartments, where we have been holed up since March when the lockdown started, we are safe and optimistic that there will be light at the end of the tunnel.
America is still great.
-o0o-
Here are some of the reasons why many people from any part of the world still prefer to live in America—with or without COVID-19 and with or without racial-instigated riots.
They may be humorous and self-serving, but they are the most convenient “excuses” if we invoke “good and quality life”: weather; beautiful and spacious houses; amazing food; small towns; optimistic attitude; higher incomes and great work opportunities; English is spoken everywhere; living in a movie location.
Sarah Gustafson wrote in 2016 about a Reddit user who started a thread asking, “Immigrants to America: What was the most pleasant surprise?”
It has since had hundreds of comments, with contributions coming in from both longtime Americans and new residents, Gustafson said.
“A few days ago, Jim Pethokoukis wrote here on AEIdeas about Gallup data showing Americans seem both miserable, and yet increasingly satisfied with their standard of living,” Gustafson explained.
“The website Knowable.com highlighted 25 of the many replies to the Reddit thread, but in the spirit of appreciating the USA and putting our possible misery in proper context, we’ve picked some of our own highlights below.”
-Free public restrooms and how every establishment has air conditioning.
-Clean streets, good luck finding a trash can in Pakistan.
-Rose petals dropped by helicopters fall around the Statue of Liberty in New York June 6, 2014. The event was organized by the organization "The French Will Never Forget" to mark the 70th anniversary of World War Two's D-Day landings.
-Fireflies… I honestly thought they were mythical, like fairies, until I saw one for the first time in Virginia.
-Showers and running hot water. I was born in the Philippines. Not having to fill buckets with water and boiling some over a stove top was such a big surprise for me.
-Buildings and bridges are so .. .amazing, the infrastructure is good, it makes you thing “wow, mankind DID THIS!”
-Small talks. I really didn’t expect people to just strike up a conversation with someone they’ve never met before.
-People telling me I must be American based solely on my English skills and disregarding my ethnicity feels weird. I like it.

I’m staying away from riot
“A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.”
—John Stuart Mill

I SHOULD be running around the Herald Square and taking photos and videos of looters emptying my favorite shopping mall in Manhattan, the Macy’s (also the world’s most popular and biggest mall) June 1, but I realized it’s not the right moment to expose myself in public.
I figured it’s not safe to position myself somewhere outside the gigantic mall; it’s not worth to waste a precious time being seen “live” on videos with the vandals and troublemakers.
We are still in a lockdown until June 8 and the COVID-19 pandemic is still very much a threat to our health, thus to be bothered and distracted by a violent riot in the street should be the last nightmare to strike us.
Members of the Filipino community in New York City, meanwhile, monitored the violence in their apartments and updated each other through social media and other electronic communication lines.
No one would want to rush to places where riots and looting had been reported to be taking place just to be there as “uzis” (a Tagalog term for uzizeros or kibitzers who risked their lives watching the soldiers shoot each other in the coup d’tat during the Cory Aquino presidency in the Philippines).
-o0o-
The Empire State hit an 11 p.m. curfew on Monday. While I was being interviewed by Bombo Radyo Iloilo, a widespread looting erupted in Manhattan’s central business district, long a symbol of the Big Apple’s prominence, with shattered glass and smashed storefront on several blocks.
Also in other parts of New York City, looters tried to ransack some of the best-known retailers, including the Macy’s flagship store in Herald Square and a number of luxury stores along Fifth Avenue.
The curfew announced by Mayor Bill de Blasio Monday night had failed to quell the criminal violence that marred the otherwise peaceful protests of previous nights.
A curfew was imposed again on June 2, this time starting three hours earlier, at 8 p.m.
The looting was contrary to Monday night’s protests which were mostly peaceful although there were few reports of clashes between the authorities and those who had assembled to rally against police brutality and racism.
The crowds, chanting “I can’t breath” and “justice for George Floyd”, had largely dispersed by the time 11 p.m. struck. Some rowdy individuals violated the curfew by walking the streets in Manhattan and near the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
-o0o-
Why would thousands of people across the United States forfeit health and safety in the midst of a pandemic to come together to protest? Many see racism and police brutality as far greater threats than the novel coronavirus, asked National Geographic executive Debra Simmons.
Simmons lamented that COVID-19 has unmasked stark, structural inequality in the U.S.
Blacks are dying disproportionately, working in essential jobs that expose them to the virus, losing jobs or having pay reduced at alarming rates.
The killing of George Floyd by a police officer, at this troubled time, Simmons said, is seen as another example of the racism that permeates this country.
"When you see that in front of witnesses, the agent of the state will kneel on a man's neck as he's begging for his life until the life seeps out of his body ... You can't just picture that happening to white Americans," New York Times journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones told Good Morning America.
Protest, historically, has been the catalyst for change from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement.
“I don’t want to see stores looted or even buildings burn but African Americans have been living in a burning building for many years, choking on the smoke as the flames burn closer and closer,” NBA Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar wrote for the Los Angeles Times. “Racism in America is like dust in the air. It seems invisible—even if you’re choking on it—until you let the sun in. Then you see it’s everywhere.”
As events tumble atop each other in the days and weeks ahead, know that historians will attempt to untangle and unravel them.
Meantime, African American parents will again have The Talk with their children, the sad but necessary directive about staying alive amid perilous encounters with police.
In this All-Of-The-Above Year (racism, pandemic, economic devastation, political instability), history is vital to giving us perspective, to knowing where humans failed before—and where they prevailed. It guides us when despair shouts.
"My mind has been blown like a candle. I am nothing but an embodied grumble, like everyone else." That’s what historian Eileen Power wrote—in 1939—on the rise of Hitler and the start of World War II.
Nearly a decade later, in the novel The Plague, Albert Camus noted that people enduring chaos have to hold two conflicting things in their mind at the same time. The bacteria of a plague, like the poison of fascism or tyranny, "never dies or disappears." However, "what we learn during a time of pestilence," Camus added, is "that there are more things to admire in (people) than despise.“

Leaving him when he need her most
“If we are happy within ourselves, we don't accept or demand that our partner should fulfill every need. We need to be comfortable with our own company.”
—Nathaniel Branden
By Alex P. Vidal
WHAT kind of wife are you when you were so quick to discard your husband at a time when he needed you most?
Or vice versa.
Would you abandon a partner in life while the whole world wants to roast him for committing an abominable act that resulted in a massive violence and hullabaloo?
At a crucial moment when murder accused Derek Chauvin badly needed a shoulder to lean on, his wife, Kellie, filed a divorce and flushed him down the toilet like a piece of shit by expressing displeasure for his act after filing the divorce.
Even if their husbands were so notorious and despicable, many Filipino wives never did—and will never do—what Kellie did to her embattled husband.
Our culture is indeed different from the western culture when it comes to family relationship.
Chauvin, now detained at Ramsey County Jail in St. Paul, Minnesota, was the sacked Minneapolis police officer caught by camera kneeling on forgery suspect George Floyd’s neck that resulted in the latter’s death on May 25.
-o0o-
A camera has been reportedly focused on him round-the-clock, and cops check on his cell regularly--all the hallmarks of a suicide watch.
Chauvin was brought in late afternoon May 29, and didn't make eye contact with anyone upon his arrival before beginning the check-in process, reported the TMZ.
“We're told Chauvin was put through an unclothed body search to look for any hidden contraband,” TMZ reported further. “Then, he put on a jail uniform and they led him off to a single cell in a special wing of the facility for high-profile cases.”
Chauvin is now in isolation and being watched constantly. There's a camera in his cell watching him 24/7, as well as guards monitoring the feed 24/7.
On top of that, he's reportedly getting checked on in-person every 15 minutes.
While a source wouldn't use the term suicide watch to characterize Chauvin's circumstances—other law enforcement sources tell, yes, that's effectively what's happening at the jail.
-o0o-
The violence that erupted in more than 20 states has also affected us in the Filipino community in one way or the other.
Additional curfew has been imposed in more than 40 cities in 15 states affected by the riot that escalated immediately after the viral video on the police brutality in Minneapolis spread.
The furor occurred at a time when we, in the Empire State, is preparing for the Phase I of the reopening of economy on June 8 (not anymore June 13 as reported earlier).
Many of us have started to go out to buy our food but continued to observe the six-feet distancing from one another and avoid places where there are more than 10 people.
We are starting to adjust and go back to normal life even if 41 million Americans have applied for unemployment, most of them have permanently lost their jobs.
While the death cases is nearing 30,000 in New York and 400,000 cases, the Floyd murder-inspired riot erupted.

Not a one-man army
“The readiest and surest way to get rid of censure, is to correct ourselves.”
—Demosthenes
By Alex P. Vidal
DID Fr. Maximo Gatela, O.P., former school director of the Angelicum School Iloilo (ASIL), overlap the power of the school board when he solely issued a closure order for ASIL on May 27?
Was his immediate “resignation” an offshoot of the gaffe?
This became apparent now after Gatela was overruled by the Board of Trustees which issued a “corrective statement” on May 29 recalling the notice of closure.
ASIL, located in Tabuc Suba, Jaro, Iloilo City, will stay open, according to the school’s board of trustees, as reported by CBCPNews.
The statement, signed by the head of the Filipino Dominicans, Fr. Napoleon Sipalay, O.P., read: “The Board of Trustees, as well as the Provincial Council of the Dominican Province of the Philippines, didn’t approve any cessation of operation.”
If there is smoke, there is fire definitely.
Gatela’s “resignation” as director of Angelicum School Iloilo had been accepted.
The statement read further: “The Board of Trustees accepted the resignation of Fr. Maximo Gatela, O.P., as Director of Angelicum School, Inc., Jaro, Iloilo City.”
ASIL, which occupies the magnificent Lizares Mansion, was founded in 1978 by Fr. Rogelio Alarcon, O.P., first prior provincial of the Filipino Dominicans.
Before Gatela’s censure, members of the board probably decided that the COVID-19 pandemic “wasn’t enough reason” to justify the closure of the 42-year-old historic educational institution.
Gatela, who cited “the difficulty that the COVID-19 has created” in his announcement for ASIL’s closure, wasn’t ASIL’s one-man army, after all.

POTOTAN Councilor Paolo Magalona Guanco, one of the Iloilo convenors of Save Our Languages Through Federalism Foundation, Inc. (SOLFED), said the late Willie Andrew “The Devil” Branum had been amputated because of a disease two years before he died of cardiac arrest on May 26.
Branum, 58, was a prominent political strategist who worked with former President Fidel V. Ramos as his Iloilo political organizer, and with former Senator Serge Osmena as the latter’s liaison field officer for Western Visayas.
According to Guanco, “Wille was a good friend of mine. We were both hispanophiles and we used to converse in Spanish during our drinking sessions. We both admire Gen. Francisco Franco. We both sang "Cara al Sol" together. We were both tobacco lovers. Our topics ranged from politics to history. He was a learned man, owning over a thousand books. There are even books in his bathroom! We were also both advocates of federalism for our country. The last time I saw him in his house, he had part of his foot cut off due to some disease. I likened him to Jose Millán Astray, the one armed, one-eyed founder of the Spanish Foreign Legion dubbed as the ‘Glorious mutilated one’. Farewell my friend. As we always said to each other before we parted ways, Hasta Luego, Mi Amigo!”

The only difference between the 1992 riot and the ongoing violence that escalated in about 30 states (as of May 30) in the United States is that Rodney King Jr., the African American driver manhandled by four Los Angeles Police District (LAPD) cops on March 3, 1991, didn’t die.
The riot that erupted following the acquittal of the four white cops in April 1992, killed more than 50 people and injured 2,000 others. Estimated losses during the six-day violence and looting in Los Angeles reached $1 billion.
In the case of George Floyd, street rally and violence occurred a day after the spread of a viral video, where Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on Floyd’s neck while he was pleading, “I can’t breathe” for eight minutes and 46 seconds.
Floyd, 46, a forgery suspect, died in the hospital.
