BOW....FROM P. 7

The meeting in the Congressman’s chamber a day before the budget hearing was our Department’s game plan to placate the possibility the Congressman would derail the approval of our Department budget. I was “offered” as a sacrificial lamb to appease the legislator, with a commitment for the Department to support all his projects.

was with us explained to me we had to do it, lest the rest of the Regions, the Central Office, and the attached agencies would “suffer”. Of course, I understood

how it is to be like Rizal or Isaac, son of Abraham. The practice, you see, is for

the Regional executive officers to talk to the congressmen immediately before budget hearings to ask them of their concerns.

An Undersecretary who

at the expense of the other constituents in the Region. It’s a case of scratching each other’s back.

Despite the difficulty, our region in Mindanao was awarded as outstanding regional office before I was moved to the Visayas. Two of our projects in the Visayas, the Tubong-tubong and Reformative and Holistic Advancement of Beneficiaries received recognition by the Civil Service Commission’s PRAISE Program and was a finalist in the Career Executive Service Board’s Gawad Award. Tubong-tubong is Ilongo for

bayanihan or cooperation. The project was a multi-million convergence

In budget committee hearings, some congressmen will either berate or praise the Directors before the members of the committee, the Department officials, and colleagues in the service. Those given accolade will be appreciated by our officials but those directors will have to expect a “demand” from the congressman for more funding

by our Department under the Kabuhayan program with the different upland local government units in Panay, the Philippine Army, NGOs, the academe, and the different national government agencies, designed to counter the insurgency problem. REHAB is another project

spearheaded

with the participation of the local chief executives, other national government agencies and NGOs only. These were projects did not involve congressmen nor senators. The CESB always reminds the career officers to be politically-savvy as politicians or partisan decisions are a reality in public service. This is my Achilles heel because of my desire to always Speak Up and Stand Up for what is right and ethical.

Of course, I also know how to Shut Up when the situation requires.

Election or no election, politics is always present in our midst, even in faith-based organizations. We have to live with it, and seek redress from abuse. We may find a strategic move to counter abuse without direct confrontation.

under Kabuhayan for parolees of the Region, with a total budget of more than P18 million in three years with 1,365 parolee-beneficiaries. This was also a convergence project with the Parole and Probation Administration, civic clubs, the church, and other agencies like the Department of Trade & Industry, and the Department of Agriculture.

Creative alternatives People miss hugging so much, they’re getting creative. According to AARP, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that empowers people to choose how they live as they age, one New Jersey grandmother donned a head-to-toe unicorn costume and visited her grandchildren for hugs.

58, of Cinnaminson said it was “overwhelming” the first time she embraced her grandchildren after months without doing so. She disinfects the unicorn between uses and even bought a shark costume for her husband. Carolyn Elllis decided to get creative so that her mother, 73-year-old Susan Watts, could hug her grandchildren. She and her husband created a “hug curtain” by attaching plastic sleeves to a large, heavy sheet of contractor- grade plastic, hanging it from their clothesline in their backyard. They dubbed it the Hug Glove, and on Mother’s Day, they invited Watts over to try it out.

Jennifer Clapton of WebMd cites that many videos have gone viral in recent months of people hanging plastic in their doorways, covering themselves in blankets, or donning blow-up unicorn and dinosaur costumes to create a barrier between them and the person they want to hug. Is this a foolproof way to prevent COVID-19? Doctors doubt it. “It’s important to clarify

“Justice consists not in being neutral between right and wrong but in finding out the right and upholding it, whenever found against the wrong.”- Theodore Roosevelt.

that COVID-19 is a disease transmitted through respiratory droplets, not through touch. If you are close enough to someone that you are hugging through plastic, you could definitely still infect them,” says Dr. Leana Wen, an emergency doctor and public health professor at George Washington University who was previously Baltimore’s health commissioner. What can replace a hug? “Building connections can

also ease feelings of loneliness and isolation. Video chats are a great way to do that,” says Devita Streva, a licensed social

possible, you can evoke a similar feeling of connection by looking at a photo of someone while you talk to them on the phone. “Mirror neurons are activated when we look at others’ facial expressions, which evokes a “mirrored” emotion and can make us smile,” she explains. “Even just looking at their photo while you talk can enhance the connection.” Mindful connections Mindful activities may help us envision what it will feel like when we are able to finally hug the person you miss. Journaling helps us to process feelings of loss and sadness and getting outside to see other people, even if it’s from afar, can reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation. And while these do not take the place of a hug or touch, we can help someone from afar by being more intentional in our communication with them, rather than relying on big group chats on Zoom, so that they really feel seen and heard.

But The CDC says social distancing -- staying at least 6 feet from people not in your household -- is the best way to avoid being exposed to the coronavirus and make it less likely for you to get COVID-19.

We need our hugs.
