May Pag-asa Matapos si Yolanda

Ang pait at sakit na dulot ng hagupit ng iyong ngitngit

Sa bawat alimpuyo ng iyong hanging walang patid

Marami sa aming humiyaw at nanangis

Ang bawat puso'y umapaw sa hinagpis

Binura mo ang kagandahang taglay ng paligid

Napaglaho mo ang ligaya at saya sa aming dibdib

Sa mga pighating sa amin ay sumapit

Nasaan ang araw, may pag-asa pa kayang sisilip sa isang unos na kay lupit

Mga puno'y iyong mabilis na ibinuwal, mga ugat ay iyong hinugot

Mga lupang sa putik ay nalunod

Kasama ng mga halamang karamihan ay nabunot

Kailan kaya mapapawi ang dala nitong lungkot?

Mga istrukturang nasira, mga bahay halos lahat ay nagiba

Mga pananim na nawasak at pangarap na naglahong parang bula

Mga taong nasaktan at mga buhay na nawala

Nagdurugo ang aming puso, bumabalong na ang luha

Itong munting paru-paro ay sumisimbolo sa patuloy na paglalakbay

Nagpupumilit makamtan ang pag-alpas sa pagsubok ng buhay

Kanyang patuloy na liliparin ang malawak na papawirin

Ikinakampay ang pakpak upang pag-asa'y marating

Munting paru-paro'y simbolo ng pag-asa

Nadadamitan ng tatlong kulay dilaw, asul, at pula

Mga kulay na sumisimbolo sa ating bansang sinisinta

At patuloy na lilipad at muling umaasa

Oh Yolanda, matapos ang iyong daluyong at haplit

Sa paghupa ng iyong hampas, alimpuyo, at galit

Salamat kay Ama, sa kabila ng pinsala at pait

Ang ngiti ay sisibol, titindi pa rin ang pagkapit

Buong Pilipinas, patuloy na babangon

Upang harapin ang kahit anong hamon ng panahon

Kahit saang dako, Mindanao man, Visayas, o Luzon

Perlas ng Silangan, sa kahit anong bagyo ay hindi uurong

Panawagan

(HINDI KO MABIGYAN NG PAMAGAT-BIGYAN NYO NGA hehehe)
Ilang tulog na lang at pasko na naman
Malamang sa malamang,mga guro may tanong na naman
Ano kayang regalo sa amin ng gobyerno?
Aginaldo, porbetso, pamasko kapalit nang mabuting pagtuturo

Sa ganitong panahon, aakalain ninyong ako'y materialistic
Hindi naman kabayan, kapamilya, kapuso, at kapatid
Nagtataka lang ako nang sobrang walastik
May ilang tao sa pamahalaan, ang bonus super fantastic

Napapailing na lamang ako sapagkat halos marami sa kanila
Paldo-paldo, punong-puno lahat na yata ng bulsa
Milyong bonus sa mga boss ng GSIS at SSS, samantalang napala ng iba sobrang kaltas sa GSIS
Bilyong pork barrel naman nasa mga senador at maging kay Napoles,may matira pa kaya sa amin o baka meron nga pero less

Iyong mga bonus nila ay milyong piso
Hindi naman sapat minsan ang serbisyoIyong iba baka nagke-candy crush lang habang nakaupo
Samantalang ang ibang manggagawawa ay hindi makaihi, makaupo,
Iyong iba pa kalahating araw na nakatayo

Well, bakit ko ba naiisip ito
Sumasabay pa ba ako kay Yolanda o sa Napoles issue
Hindi naman kaibigan,'pagkat sila man ay may DAP at PDAF
Tayo naman PEI at PBB ang katapat

Hehehe,bakit ko ba ito inuungkat?
Malabo namang mapansin ito ng lahat
Wala lang, kapag walang pasok lang ako nakapagsusulat-sulat
Baka akalain ninyo na naman na nais ko lang bumanat

Eh sa totoo lang, matagal na naman itong panawagan
Suweldo at benepisyo kahit konting dagdag lamang
PEI ginawang PBB sa isang banda ay kakaiba nga naman
Suwerte ka kung mataas ang NAT ng iyong paaralan

Paano kung may taon na ang mga bata ay may kaunting kahinaan
Malamang makuha mong bonus maliit na lamang
Sapagkat ang PBB segun sa NAT performance
Tsk, tsk, tsk...ito ang basehan

Kaya ngayon pa lang, isa lang ang mainam
Review sa NAT ay pagbutihan, oras ng review ay dagdagan
Kung NAT pa rin ay sumemplang
Naku! Patay tayo diyan, isa na lang ang paraan
Magdasal nang mataman

Kaya ngayong PASKO na naman
Bigayan ng bonus parating pa lamang
Sana naman kami ay pagbigyan
Kami'y magagalak kung ang bonus ay PANTAY-PANTAY lang.

MY YOUNGEST SON NEEDS YOUR HELP...PLEASE

Good day friends...My youngest son Jan Ciryl Tiburcio has a very rare liver ailment called "biliary atresia"...he needs liver transplant in order to live. It is a condition where the liver does not have enough bile ducts and as a result the bile builds up within and destroying his liver. You may visit the website of Lift-Babies Foundation Inc-Philippines for more information about the disease. Pediatric liver transplants can be done at the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Kaohsiung Taiwan, at the Glen Eagles Hospital in Singapore, or at the Queen Mary Hospital in HongKong at a cost ranging from 4 to 7 million pesos. We can not afford such huge amounts that is why we appeal for your compassion. Please help us raise money for the transplant. Any amount you can contribute will help ensure my son's survival. I am begging all of you.

Biliary Atresia (BA)

(excerpts from American Liver Foundation website)

Explore this section to learn more about biliary atresia, including a description of the disease and how it's diagnosed.

What is biliary atresia?

Biliary atresia is a disease of the bile ducts that affects only infants. Bile is a digestive liquid that is made in the liver. It travels through the bile ducts to the small intestine, where it helps digest fats.

In biliary atresia, the bile ducts become inflamed and blocked soon after birth. This causes bile to remain in the liver, where it starts to destroy liver cells rapidly and cause cirrhosis, or scarring of the liver.

What causes biliary atresia?

The cause of this disease is not known. In some infants, the condition is most likely congenital, meaning present from birth. About one in 10 babies with biliary atresia have other congenital defects. Some research indicates that an early viral infection may be linked to biliary atresia.

Scientists do know that biliary atresia is not hereditary; parents do not pass it on to their child. It is also not contagious, and it is not preventable. It is also not caused by anything an expectant mother did or did not do.

What are the symptoms of biliary atresia?

Symptoms of biliary atresia usually appear between two and six weeks after birth. The baby will appear jaundiced, with yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes. The liver may harden and the abdomen may become swollen. Stools appear pale grey and the urine may appear dark. Some babies may develop intense itching.

How is biliary atresia diagnosed?

Since other conditions lead to symptoms similar to those of biliary atresia, doctors must perform many tests before a conclusive diagnosis can be made. These tests may include blood and liver tests, an ultrasound examination, X-rays and a liver biopsy, in which a small amount of liver tissue is removed with a needle for examination in a laboratory.

How is biliary atresia treated?

Unfortunately, there is no cure for biliary atresia. The only treatment is a surgical procedure in which the blocked bile ducts outside the liver are replaced with a length of the baby’s own intestine, which acts as a new duct. This surgery is called the Kasai procedure after Dr. Morio Kasai, the Japanese surgeon who developed it.

The aim of the Kasai procedure is to allow drainage of bile from the liver into the intestine through the new duct. The operation is completely or partially successful about 80 percent of the time if performed early (before 3 months of age). In babies who respond well, jaundice and other symptoms usually disappear after several weeks.

In cases where the Kasai procedure does not work, the problem often lies in the fact that blocked bile ducts are “intrahepatic,” or inside the liver, as well as extrahepatic, or outside the liver. No procedure, except for liver transplant, has been developed to replace blocked intrahepatic ducts.

The Kasai procedure is most successful in babies younger than 3-months-old, so early diagnosis is important.

If the Kasai procedure is not successful, the only other option is a liver transplant. However, a suitable donor organ must be found quickly, before damage to the liver from the backed-up bile becomes deadly.

What happens after surgery?

The aim of treatment after surgery is to encourage normal growth and development. If bile flow is good, the child is given a regular diet. If tests show that bile flow is reduced, a low-fat diet and vitamin supplements will be required, since the absorption of fats and vitamins is impaired.

What is the outlook for babies with biliary atresia?

Without successful treatment, few children with biliary atresia live beyond age two. In some cases, where the Kasai procedure is completely successful, the child may recover and live a normal life. However, in most cases, even when surgery is successful, patients will suffer gradual damage to the liver. These children will need specialized medical care throughout their lives, and many will ultimately need a liver transplant.

Is a liver transplant the solution?

In children with biliary atresia, a liver transplant is generally not attempted unless the Kasai procedure has been tried. In cases where that operation is unsuccessful, the child may become a candidate for a liver transplant. Success depends on the timely availability of a matching donor liver. Fortunately, survival rates for liver transplant recipients have increased dramatically with improved surgical techniques and the development of drugs that help overcome the problem of organ rejection.

What can the family do?

Watching a newborn suffer from biliary atresia is a heart-breaking experience. Parents are frustrated because so little is known about the disease and treatment options are so limited. Many parents find comfort in support groups because it allows them to talk to other parents in similar situations. Finding out that others feel the way they do, and learning how other parents are coping with a child’s disease, is often a great comfort.

Blessings Beyond Measure...God Saved Jan!
