Cauliflower

CAULIFLOWER!!

Ang cauliflower ay napagkakamalan nating broccoli and vice versa, at hindi naman ito nakapagtataka dahil iisa lang naman ang pamilyang pinagmulan ng mga ito, kumbaga they belong to the cruciferous family, ang pamilya ng gulay na tanyag dahil sa taglay nitong mga nutrients na panlaban sa maraming sakit.

Ang cauliflower ay mayroong dalawang pinakamahalagang sangkap na sa buong cruciferous family ay pangunahing panlaban sa karamdaman. Ito ay ang INDOLE-3 CARBINOL o ang tinatawag nating 13C at ang photonutrient na SULFORAPHANE.

Batay sa isinagawang pag-aaral sa John Hopkins University sa Baltimore, ang SULFORAPHANE ay nakapagpababa sa breast tumor sa mga hayop ng halos 40%. Ang mga toxins o lason na karaniwang sumisira sa mga cells na naging cancerous ay nililinis at inaalis ng SULFORAPHANE sa sistema, preventing the tumor before they begin.

Ang 13C naman ay katulong ng SULFORAPHANE bilang anti-estrogen. Ang mataas na level ng estrogen ay kilalang nagpapalaki ng tumor, lalung-lalo na sa suso (breasts) at sa prostate glands. Tumutulong ang 13C para mapababa ang bilang ng estrogen at mapatigil ang paglaki ng tumor.

Ang cauliflower ay excellent source din ng VITAMIN C at FOLATE. Ang folate ay tumutulong sa dugo upang makapagtrabaho ito ng maayos at kadalasan din itong nirerekomenda para sa pag-iwas sa anemia. Ang folate din ay mahalaga para sa proper growth ng tissue upang maiwasan ang mga sakit na cancer at puso.

Ang VITAMIN C naman ay itinuturing na anti-oxidant. Kung gagamitin ito kasama sa ibang anti-oxidants gaya ng VITAMIN E at betacarotene ay ito ay mas lalong nagpapalakas ng immune system.

Ang cauliflower ay mayaman din sa potassium, fiber, phosphorous at vitamin B.

GROW AND BE LIKE THE MOLAVE

GROW AND BE LIKE THE MOLAVE
Manuel L. Quezon


National strength can only be built on character. A nation is nothing more or less than its citizenry, it is the people that make up the nation, therefore, I cannot be strong than its component parts. Their weakness is its failing, their strength is of men and women healthy in mind and body; courteous, brave, industrious, self-reliant, purposeful in thought as well as in action, imbued with sound patriotism and a profound sense of righteousness, with high social ideals and strong moral fiber and I will show you a nation that will not be submerged. A nation that will emerge victorious from the trials and bitter strife of a distracted world. A nation that will forever, sharing the common task of advancing the welfare and promoting the happiness of mankind.

The upward climb of mankind has been universal. In the human landscape, there are peaks and valleys and deep chasms. Generally there is need of patent social upheaval volcanic in proportions to raise the lower levels to great heights.

The battle for existence and survival of the fittest is ever the rule of life in nature and among men.

Our task - it is heroic task to awaken and apply these faculties so that our people should become what of right they should be; morally virile, hardworking, refined, enterprising, persevering,public-spirited.

I want our people to grow and be like the molave, strong and resilient, rising in the hillside, unafraid of the raging flood, the lightning or the storm, confident of its own strength. If we have the will to survive and the will to achieve social efficiency, we cannot deny this task of spiritual revival. Let us begin now to mold the typical Filipino.

We are Oriental. Orientals are known for their placidity and passivity. In the world of humanity we are looked upon as a quiet and smooth lake from which th adventurous and enterprising may reap enjoyment and gain. I refuse to allow the Filipinos to be so regarded.

We shall be a flowing stream, a rippling brook, a deep and roaring torrent, full of life, of hope, of faith, and of strength. Through self-discipline we shall harness all our energies so that our power, spreading over the length and breadth of this land will develop its resources, advance its culture, secure social justice, give puissance to the nation and insure happiness and contentment for all the people under the aegis of liberty and peace.

FILIPINO SPEECHES

THE EDUCATED MAN
Jovito Salonga

What then, is the educated man? Is he the man who has read a lot? Partly yes, because his reading is serious and discriminate and uplifting. Is he the man who remembers many facts and events? Partly yes, because the training of memory is a wholesome discipline that requires effort and application, and because one cannot make a sound judgment without respect for remembered facts. Is the educated man, then one who because of his skills is able to provide for himself and his family? Partly yes, since education should teach us how to make a living. But there is one thing we should always remember and it is this - that far more important than the making of a living is the living of a life - a good life, a meaningful life, an abundant life.

The educated man lives this kind of life because he has opened the windows of his mind to great thoughts and noble ideas, because he is not imprisoned by the printed page but chooses to make a relentless, rigorous analysis and evaluation of everything he reads; because he is less interested in the accumulation of degrees than the stimulation of his mind and the cultivation of a generous spirit; because his interest is less in knowing who is right more importantly in discerning what is right and defending it with all the resources at his command; because he is not awed by authority,but is humble enough to recognize that his best judgment is imperfect and may well be tainted by error or pride; because he has a deep reverence for the inherent worth and dignity of every human being as a creature of God; because he has health sense of values, a breadth of outlook, and the depth of compassion which a purposeful education generates; because whenever he talks about good government he is prepared and willing to sacrifice, himself for it; and because he lives a life of relevance to the world in which he lives, sharing in the problems of his time and doing whatever he can with intelligence and fairness and understanding.

SPEECHES

LAND OF BONDAGE,
LAND OF THE FREE
Raul Manglapus


Once upon a time, the Tao owned a piece of land. It was all He owned. But He cherished it, for it gave Him three things, having which, he was content: life, first of all, and liberty, and happiness.

Then one day the Spaniard came and commanded Him to pay tribute to the crown of Spain. The Tao paid tribute. And He was silent - He was certain that He was still master of His land.

The Spaniard became rich. But with riches, evil entered into him and he came to the Tao a second time. He read to the Tao a formidable document saying: "According to this Decreato Real, which unfortunately you cannot read, this that you have been paying to me is not tribute but rent, for the land is not yours but mine. The Tao paid rent and said nothing. He ceased to be a freeman. He became a serf. Still the Tao help His peace. The rent went up and up. The Tao starved.

And this time at last He spoke.

I indict the Spanish encomendero for inventing taxes impossible to bear.

I indict the usurer for saddling me with debts impossible to pay.

I indict the irresponsible radical leaders who undermine with insidious eloquence the confidence if my kind in our government,

You accuse me of not supporting my family.Free me from my bondage and I shall proved you false.

You accused me of ignorance but I am ignorant because my master finds it profitable to keep me ignorant. Free me from my bondage and I shall proved you false.

You accuse me of indolence. But I am indolent not because I have no will, but because I have no hope. Why should I labor, if all the fruits of my labor go to pay an unpayable debt? Free me from bondage and I shall prove you false.

But if you will not grant this...if you will not grant this last request, this ultimate demand, then build a wall around your home...build it high! Build it strong! Place a sentry on every parapet! For I who have been silent all these three hundred years will come in the night when you are feasting, with my cry and my bolo at your door. And may God have mercy on your soul!
