Pangwakas na PahayagniMar RoxasSa Pampanguluhang Debate 2016[ika-24 ng Abril 2016]Maraming salamat sa inyong lahat at lalong-lalo na sa lahat ng mga sumalubong sa amin ni Leni sa aming pag-iikot sa ating bansa—mga nagpakita ng suporta, kumamay, kumupkop, yumakap sa amin. Nakakataba ng puso. At sa init ng inyong pagsalubong sa amin, nasasariwa ang mga dahilan kung bakit  ipinaglalaban natin ang ating bayan. Maraming salamat muli, espesyal doon sa ating shout out sa mga taga-Luneta na nanonood ngayon. [Palakpakan]Patapos na ang kampanya. Panghuling debate na ito. The campaign is winding down. It has been vicious and divisive. Maraming mga nasaktan, kababaihan, LGBT, person with disabilities, senior citizens, madalas ang mga pinakawalang kalaban-laban. But this is not who we are as a people. We are a generous people. We are warm. We are loving. Mapagbigay tayo. Ang magulang, isusubo na lang, ibibigay pa sa anak. We do with so much less because we want our children to have more and they deserve more. Every Filipino deserves more, and that is what is at the root of our frustration.Ang iba gagamitin ang ating frustration para lokohin tayo, para makalimutan natin na malayo ang narating natin, para makalimutan natin kung sino tayo bilang Pilipino, para makalimutan natin na ang tunay at makabuluhang pagbabago [ay] hindi nakakamit sa paninisi, sa pang-iinsulto o sa pang-soundbite lamang. Nangyayari ito dahil tinatrabaho, and this is what the elections have come down to—the talkers versus the doers. Those that bring out the worst in us versus those that bring out the best in us; [palakpakan] those ‘yung mga susunugin lahat ng pinaghirapan natin, kontra doon sa mga magdidilig at magbabantay sa mga itinanim natin.We must stay the course because malago ang ating ekonomiya. This is what has turned us from the Sick man of Asia to Asia’s Bright Star. [Palakpakan] Marami ang nabigyan ng trabaho. Our unemployment is at is lowest level in 10 years. Ang classrooms, we have built more classrooms and hired more teachers in the last five years than all the previous five administrations combined. May naiahon tayo. Mahigit dalawang milyon ng ating mga kababayan mula sa kahirapan, wala na sila sa kategorya na mahihirap. Lumago ang ating kapaligiran at marami pang iba, but you know what? Pundasyon pa lang ito. The best is yet to come. [Palakpakan]Another six years of honest, decent, hardworking governance at mararating na natin ang ating pinapangarap—isang Pilipinas na maunlad at disente, puno ng pagkakataon, malaya sa takot, at malayang mangarap. Ito ang maunlad at disenteng Pilipinas, may dangal, may takot sa Diyos, maipagmamalaki mo. [Palakpakan] Ito ang Pilipinas na ipinaglalaban natin. Dakila ang ating lahi. Dakila ang ating bansa. This is a fight worth fighting. This is a fight for our country.Nanawagan ako sa lahat sa inyo, rally to our cause! Katukin natin. Kausapin natin. Kumbinsihin natin ang ating mga kamag-anak, ang ating kakilala, mga kaibigan, mga katrabaho. [Palakpakan] Dalhin natin sa kanila ang magandang balita na kinalalagyan na natin ngayon. Huwag kayong matatakot. Let our voice be heard. This is the good fight. This is a fight for decency, for honesty, for our future.Sa ika-siyam ng Mayo, patunayan natin sa buong Pilipinas at sa buong mundo, mas marami pa rin tayong mga disenteng Pilipino. [Palakpakan] Mas marami pa rin tayong mga mabubuting Pilipino. Mas marami pa tayong mga matutuwid na Pilipino. Samahan n’yo po ako, ipanalo na natin ang laban na ito!Maraming salamat po!

Here are 8 things that accelerated my career recently (in my 30s) that I wish I learned in my 20s:[IF IT CAN BE IMPROVED, IMPROVE IT]Carol Dweck, a Stanford Psychologist, studied and wrote about this concept of “Growth vs Fixed” mindset. A fixed mindset believes that all our talents and abilities are something we’re pre-programmed, or born, with. People with fixed mindsets, then, believe that certain people are just “lucky” when it comes to their skills and abilities. So they avoid anything that could

The tricky thing about your expectations is that they impact other people too. As far back as the 1960s, Harvard research demonstrated the power of our beliefs in swaying other people’s behavior. When teachers in the studies were told that certain (randomly selected) children were smart, those kids performed better, not only in the classroom, but also on standardized IQ tests.Indeed, we get the most out of other people when we believe in them. Research shows that this happens because when we believe in someone,

We treat them better than people we think will fail,

We give them more opportunities to succeed than we give those we think will fail,

We give them more accurate, helpful feedback than we give others, and

We do more teaching because we believe it’s time well spent.

Letting your doubts cloud your belief in someone (or something) practically ensures their failure. Medical professionals call this the “nocebo” effect. Patients who have low expectations for medical procedures or treatments tend to have poorer results than those who expect success, even with regards to well-established treatments. If a doctor uses a treatment with a clinically verified high rate of success but presents it in a negative light, the probability of a negative outcome increases.

Here’s the problem: every other Presidential candidate – save one – is either supportive of Marcos or is sympathetic. The clearest symptom: their willingness to allow Ferdinand Marcos to be buried in the Libingan ng mga Bayani.Llamanzares is open to it, despite her glaring omission during the most recent Presidential debate. Why wouldn’t she be? Fernando Poe Jr. was an avowed Marcos loyalist.Duterte is open to it, and explicitly said so in front of an Ilocos crowd.Binay is open to it. He personally recommended it to President Aquino. PNoy shot his idea down.Santiago is open to it, although she plays it safe and says she would defer to a consensus.The reason why Ferdinand Marcos should never be allowed to be buried in the Libingan ng mga Bayani is very simple. Ferdinand Marcos is not a hero. Period. But more than that, it makes a mockery of the lives lost or irreparably damaged during the Martial Law regime, and plays directly into the pro-Marcos revisionist narrative.There’s that saying, the one that speaks of what happens to people who do not study history.

Now, when it comes to the debate itself. It was sort of like watching the Fantastic Four on stage. The Vice President was like the Human Torch except he flamed out. The good mayor of Davao, Mayor (Rodrigo) Duterte, was like the Thing, everything was solvable by clobbering time. I think we should pay a tribute to the — [how would we put it] ­­­— to the humbleness and the ability of Senator Poe to be like the Invisible Girl. She was so transparent and so — put herself so much in the background that you could see the glowing brain of Tony La Viña in what she was saying and at the same time, she allowed the sort of political choreography of her running mate Chiz Escudero to shine through in her handling of many of the challenges that were unanticipated. So this perhaps leaves Secretary Mar Roxas and, of course, to our mind, he was Mister Fantastic. There was no topic that was beyond his reach and he showed an analytical mind, a scientific approach to problem-solving that demonstrated that he was a natural team leader.
