A further document is the "Chronik des Deutschordens", a chronicle of the Teutonic Order compiled by John of Posilge, who died in 1405 [5].

In the above accusation John of Jenštejn already calls John of Nepomuk, “saint martyr”. In the biography of the bishop, written by his chaplain, John of Nepomuk is described as "gloriosum Christi martyrem miraculisque coruscum." Therefore the vicar put to death for defending the laws and the autonomy of the Catholic Church was revered as a saint right after his death.


[edit] Later accounts
Much additional biographical information is due to Bohemian annalists, who wrote 60 or more years after the events. Although they may have taken advantage of sources not available today, their contribution is considered legendary by many historians, particularly by the Protestant ones.

In his chronicle Chronica regum Romanorum, completed in 1459, Thomas Ebendorfer (d. 1464) states that King Wenceslaus had drowned the confessor of his wife, indicated as Magister Jan, because he had stated that only the one who rules properly deserves the name of king and had refused to betray the seal of Confession. This is the first source to mention this refusal as the true motivation of the condemnation of John of Nepomuk.
In his Instructions for the King, completed in 1471, Paul Zidek provides further details [6]. King Venceslaus was afraid that his wife had a lover. As she was used to confessing to Magister Jan, he ordered him to tell the name of the lover, but to no avail. Therefore the king ordered John to be drowned. Note that in these chronicles neither the date of the events, nor the name of the queen is mentioned.
In 1483 John of Krumlov, dean of St. Vitus cathedral, states that the Saint died in 1383 (exactly one century before, maybe due to a copying error)[7][7]. As the first wife of Venceslaus died in 1386, this change of date also causes uncertainty about the name of the queen[8].
The mistake of John of Krumlov crept into the Annales Bohemorum[9] of Wenceslaus Hajek von Liboczan (cs:Václav Hájek z Libočan, dead in 1553), the Bohemian Livy. He suggested that two Jan di Nepomuks may have existed and have been killed by King Wenceslaus. The first one is the queen's confessor, who died in 1383; the other the vicar of the archbishop, who disagreed with the king on the election of the abbot of Kladruby and was drowned in 1393. As Hajek's annals enjoyed a wide success, they influenced all subsequent historians for two centuries, up to the Latin edition, critically annotated by the translator, which considerably reduced Hajek's credit as a reliable historian.

Further and less reliable details about John of Nepomuk are provided by the annalists of the XVII and XVIII centuries. Boleslaus Balbinus, S.J., in his Vita b. Joannis Nepomuceni martyris [10] gives the most rich account.

Although the theory of Hajek von Liboczan has no credit today, some historians believe the refusal of betraying the seal of confession might have been the secret reason why Wenceslaus took vengeance on John of Nepomuk as soon as a credible excuse provided the opportunity.


[edit] A controversial figure

Monument on Cathedral Island in Wrocław, PolandJohn of Nepomuk is seen by Catholics as a martyr to the cause of defending the Seal of the Confessional, by romantic nationalists as a Czech martyr to imperial interference, and by most historians as a victim of a late version of the inveterate investiture controversy between secular rulers and the Catholic hierarchy.

The connection of John of Nepomuk with the inviolability of the confessional is part of the transformation of an historical figure into a legend, which can be traced through successive stages. The archbishop, who hastened to Rome soon after the crime, in his charge against Wenceslaus, called the victim a martyr; in the vita written a few years later miracles are already recorded, by which the drowned man was discovered. About the middle of the fifteenth century the statement appears for the first time that the refusal to violate the seal of confession was the cause of John's death. Two decades later (1471), the dean of Prague, Paul Zidek, makes John the queen's confessor. The unscrupulous chronicler Wenceslaus Hajek speaks in 1541 (probably owing to carelessness in the use of his sources) of two Johns of Nepomuk being drowned; the first as confessor, the second for his confirmation of the abbot.


The place on the bridge parapet where John of Nepomuk was thrown into the Vltava.The legend is especially indebted for its growth to the Jesuit historiographer Boleslaus Balbinus the "Bohemian Pliny,", whose Vita beati Joannis Nepomuceni martyris was published in Prague, 1670. Although the Prague metropolitan chapter did not accept the biography dedicated to it, "as being frequently destitute of historical foundation and erroneous, a bungling work of mythological rhetoric", Balbinus stuck to it. In 1683 the Charles Bridge was adorned with a statue of the saint, which has had numerous successors; in 1708 the first church was dedicated to him at Hradec Králové; a more famous Pilgrimage Church of Saint John of Nepomuk was founded in 1719.

Meanwhile, in spite of the objection of the Jesuits, the process was inaugurated which ended with his canonization. On May 31, 1721, he was beatified, and on March 19, 1729, he was canonized under Pope Benedict XIII. The acts of the process, comprising 500 pages, distinguish two Johns of Nepomuk and sanction the cult of the one who was drowned in 1383 as a martyr of the sacrament of penance.

According to some Protestant sources the figure of St. John Nepomuk is a legend due to Jesuits and its historical kernel is really Jan Hus, who was metamorphosed from a Bohemian Reformer into a Roman Catholic saint: the Nepomuk story would be based on Wenceslaus Hajek's blending of the Jan who was drowned in 1393 and the Jan who was burned in 1415. The resemblances are certainly striking, extending to the manner of celebrating their commemorations. But when the Jesuits came to Prague, the Nepomuk veneration had long been widespread; and the idea of canonization originated in opposition not to the Hussites, but to Protestantism, as a weapon of the Counter-Reformation. In the image of the saint which gradually arose, the religious history of Bohemia is reflected.


[edit] The cult
The figure of Saint John of Nepomuk is often encountered in Central and Eastern Europe, including the Czech Republic, Italy, Germany, Poland and Lithuania. He is usually portrayed with a halo of five stars, commemorating the stars that hovered over the Vltava River on the night of his murder. Other attributes useful to identify his pictures are: a priestly dress, the palm of martyrs, carrying a cross, an angel indicating silence by a finger over the lips. His tomb, a Baroque monument cast in silver and silver-gilt that was designed by Fischer von Erlach, stands in St Vitus Cathedral, Prague. A statue of Saint John of Nepomuk has often been erected on bridges in many countries, such as on the Ponte Milvio in Rome.

naval air station cubi point

NAS Cubi
In the 1950s the epical construction of Cubi point rivals the construction of panama Canal in terms of earth moving projects

The need for a naval air station was realized during the Korean War. Admiral Arthur W. Radford, Chief of Naval Operations conceived of the construction of a naval air station at Cubi Point, which was then a rugged and jungle covered finger of land 3 miles (4.8 km) from Subic Naval Base. He pictured the air station as a vital link in the defense of the Southwest Pacific.

In spite of the magnitude of the job and the tremendous difficulties the construction involved, the project was approved by The Pentagon. Civilian contractors were initially tapped to fulfill the project but after taking seeing the forbidding Zambales Mountains and the maze of jungle at Cubi Point, they claimed it could not be done. The Navy's Seabees were then given the project and in 1951, the Seabees began the first phase of the project. The first Seabees to arrive were MCB-3 on October 2, 1951; the second, MCB-5, arrived on November 5, 1951.

The first problem encountered was the transfer of an entire town. The town of Banicain stood on the site of the proposed airfield and so had to be moved to the community of Olongapo where it became New Banicain. The former Banicain now lies under 45 feet (14 m) of earth.

The next problem involved the moving of mountains and the building of a 10,000 feet (3,000 m) long airstrip that stretches out into Subic Bay, along the waterfront and out into the sea. It was one of the largest earthmoving projects in the world, equivalent to the construction of the Panama Canal.

In all, it took five years and an estimated 20-million man-hours to build this Navy base. At Cubi Point Seabees cut a mountain in half to make way for a nearly two-mile long runway. They blasted coral to fill a section of Subic Bay, filled swampland, moved trees as much as 150 feet (46 m) tall and six to eight feet in diameter, and relocated a native fishing village.

The $100 million facility was commissioned on July 25, 1956 and comprised an air station and an adjacent pier that was capable of docking the Navy's largest carriers.

On December 21, 1972, Naval Air Station Cubi Point honored Radford by changing the name of its airfield to Arthur W. Radford Field. Radford had the unusual honor of being able to make the dedication speech himself. The plaque reads:

"Dedicated in honor of Admiral Arthur W. Radford, whose foresight in founding U.S. Naval Air Station Cubi Point has enabled the United States Navy to provide invaluable support to the Seventh Fleet and to carry out its obligations under the Philippines-United States Mutual Defense Treaty."


[edit] Operations

An aerial view of Cubi PointEventually, NAS Cubi Point served as the primary maintenance, repair and supply center for the 400 carrier-based aircraft of the Seventh Fleet's carrier force. During the Vietnam War, its jet engine shop turned out 2 jet engines a day to keep pace with demand.

NAS Cubi Point and Naval Base Subic Bay were also at the front lines during Operations Desert Storm and Desert Shield.

In June 1991, when Mt. Pinatubo, which was just 20 miles (32 km) from Subic Bay, erupted, NAS Cubi Point was blanketed in ash one-foot thick. After the evacuation of all dependents from the facility, an intense clean-up was begun to return the station to normal operations. Within two weeks, NAS Cubi Point was back in limited operation. Soon most building had electricity and water service restored. By mid-July, service had been restored to most family housing units.

By September, most dependents were back to Subic Bay and Cubi Point, but it was also in September that the Senate of the Philippines voted to have the United States withdraw from all of its facilities in the Philippines.

Tehran, since 1974 I was fasinated about this city, its culture, its history, the shah, mosadegh, its revolution, momoud abedinajad

dito sa Tehran, largest city sa middle east, mga tao dito ay hindi mga arab kundi mga caucasian. dati may close relation sila Iran and Israel, sila nag supply ng oil noong 1967 war at yum kippur war. pero noong na topple na si shah reza pahlavi, nag about face ang foreign policy ng Iran to anti American at anti semetic.
ang plano ng Shah of Iran before 1979 revolution ay i update nila ang military ng Iran with western military technology, sila ay may mga bagong F 14 tomcat from USAF, Centrion tank from UK, mga latest frigates and destroyers for its Navy. ang sabi ng expert in 1990 same level nila sa military technolog ang France.
pati ang secret police nila called SAVAK noong panahon ng Shah ay pattern sa Mossad ng israel, minsan sila ay ang Police man of the Persian gulf

my shouting match with col panfilo villaruel , asistant secretary for air transport office, a very heated argument in his office

(under constructon )
It was 1998 invited kai sa office ni assistant secretary Panfilo Villaruel sa ATO
it was a meting of Lakas NUCD kasama ko mga incmbent na konsehal at cesar ochoa at some asirans ng Lakas nucd pasay. hindi nag punta daddy ko kasi may committee hearing pa sila sa house

When the meeting start, si col villaruel was presideng, napansn ko na may mga side comment sya hitting and attacking my father, who is not present at the meeting. si col villaruel ay isang est plot, a military man , a resected and a diciple offier, oero he has some gripes towards my father kasi hindi sya naging official candidate ng lakas 1995 and 1992 at sya dun ay isng aspirant for congress pero hindi sya nag wagi,

he started the meeting na sbi nya ni Dr claudio, pinabayaan ang party, lagi na kay seaker at naka abang sa pera, sa junkets, sa kick back and on and on... hangang nag init ako and i stand up and shouted at hm, na wag mong atakihin angtaong ala dito na hndi kaya ipagtangola ang sarili nya, "wag mong sabihin na asistant ecretary ka, at kahit dito sa office mo i hindi kita igagalang .... dahil hindi mo iginalang ang daddy ko.
tmayo sya at it he pointed his finger at me ang bang his desk (it was a conference room..... ak, I stand up too and also pointed my finger at him.... again i said na wag mong sabihin na opisina mo eto, hindi ko plalampasin ang pag lapastangan mo sa ama ko...

ang totoo ay kasubuan na yun , its a catch 22 scenario, if I let it pass we will be a weaklng, kailangan ko ipakita sa mga kasam ko na I have ballsto satnd up for my father, his leadership is at stake,

hangang ngayon it is a camp fir story sa pasay to what I did at ato office
mga kasama ko panay silent sila, maingay lang mag kwento......... i cannot forget this incident

In 2000 my father is being blackmailed by a malacanang official, asking for 2,000,000 so that the suspension order will nor be served

this is the former malacangang official who materminded the blackmailing of my father in 2000, at this photo he is running for congress in one of the cities of metro manila , he lost the election
I was informed by my sources at DILG that a suspension order is being readied and only need is a signature of 2 officials (name with held). the charge is about relocation of squatters at leveriza street.
At that time my father delegated to me some powers, and one one the is the survival of his administraton, like this classical case of extortsion in the highest level. I aquired a document rom my source and I saw in black and white the charge sheet and suspension order.

upon further investigation, i learned that the malacangang official with initial AA is in conivance with a DILG official who is also a husband to a very vocal senator. I dont know how to go around this kind of pressure from the palace, n which we have no connecton because our connection was with Lakas NUCD and the incumbent is LAMMP. my only link o the ERAP administration is with my friend nd chief of Police Alex Gutierez, an ex Manila finest in the time of Alfredo lim who is now the SILG (secretary of interior and local govenment), thru him I seek Seceretary Lim's advice , with a couple of meeting with the secretaary at Sofitel pool side, he adviced me to entrap the 2 malacanang official with 1,000,000 pesos.

In 24 hurs the marked money is in place and a team of personel loyal to sec Lim, I was really hesitant to push thru because the media repercussion that wll result of accusng the husband of a senator of extorton and having him arrested.

this did not materialized because April 12, 2000 , Malacanang annnounced the date of recall electio, and all threatof suspension ded a natural death.

Until today I wonder what if the entrapment as push thru

colon cancer

eto ay isang bahagi ng large intestine or colon
ang dami ko kilala na nag ka sakit ng colon cancer, nag sisimula eto sa polyps



Colorectal cancer, also called colon cancer or large bowel cancer, includes cancerous growths in the colon, rectum and appendix. With 655,000 deaths worldwide per year, it is the third most common form of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the Western world.[1] Many colorectal cancers are thought to arise from adenomatous polyps in the colon. These mushroom-shaped growths are usually benign, but some may develop into cancer over time. The majority of the time, the diagnosis of localized colon cancer is through colonoscopy. Therapy is usually through surgery, which in many cases is followed by chemotherapy.
