“Hilarios’ iPod Touch” For Young Entrepreneurs. Son Advises: “Listen, Don’t Start Small!” Father Advises: “To Farm Rich, Start With Your Ears!”

Youth, I say, if you want to get rich, in any field from Agriculture to Zumba, you have to teach yourself wisely – by listening!

Why? On Facebook, 14 April 2021, my digital entrepreneur son Jomar is talking to anyone interested in becoming richer becoming a virtual careerist (VC), and I am surprised with his advice: “Why You Shouldn't Start Small.” And I thought: So shouldn’t young farmers.

Someone says, “Jomar, I want to start small in my journey to upgrade my mindset.” Jomar says, “That’s the thing most people, already living a small life, want – to start small & slow. Let me tell you. you’ve already done it.”

We have always been doing things small, so we remain what? Small. You have “to level up in mindset,” Jomar says. “You need to level up in action.” Why not simply read a Success Book? Because when you fail, you can’t repeat “Read another Success Book” – and expect a different result!

Jomar says, ‘The Success Journey is a Trip, not a Stop.”

To level up in mindset and succeed, you need to consider, Jomar says (with my purposive editing):

“What do you Want? How do you obtain your goals?”

If your goals are:
Literally freedom… Freedom of location. Freedom to choose what to do, when to do it, and with whom to do. Freedom to dream freely and fulfil those dreams. Freedom from worry. Freedom from insecurity…

You need a turning point.
You need to do something you haven’t done before.

Jomar says, “There’s got to be a New Source of Wisdom for you. And it’s got to be a Fountain Of Wisdom. You need an everlasting source of new wisdom straight into your ears.”

Like “Every time you wash the dishes.” How many times you wash the dishes is how many times you listen to wisdom. Jomar suggests an iPod. When one of his successful VCs washes the dishes, she puts on the iPod and enjoys herself learning some more! She washes off the dirt by her hands, drains off her ignorance by her ears.

Copying my son, I say for PH youth to get rich in farming, go buy each an iPod and listen & learn. The problem? What to put in the iPod, and where to get the auditory materials.

That is where the state colleges & universities (SCUs) must step in – before any young one can plunge into farming with promise. With financing from the Department of Agriculture (DA), the SCUs must prepare an extensive Audio Knowledge Bank on PH Agriculture, with countless technology & package options presented. So, I’m calling on Secretary of Agriculture William Dar to move the SCUs to move those youth to become farmers.

The Hilarios’ iPod Touch. Thus, while each youth is learning to become an agribiz whiz using not the eyes but the ears, s/he can do anything anywhere and enjoy both physical and mental worlds. A most intelligent way to learn!@517

Historical PH 1st Holy Mass: Mazaua Or Limasawa? Fr Amalla Vs Maria Serena Diokno Vs Ambeth Ocampo – And The Priest Is Right!

We Filipinos celebrate 500 years of Christianity today Wednesday, 31 March 2021, Christianity brought to pagans by Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan sailing the seas for Spain. The historical question is: Where was the first Holy Mass celebrated: “Limasawa” (in Leyte) or “Mazaua” (in Butuan)? Catholic priest Fr Joesilo C Amalla has just published the book (above), An Island They Called Mazaua, that argues the island of “Mazaua” in Butuan is the “true site of first Holy Mass in the Philippines [1] ”  and not “Limasawa” in Leyte (ANN, 07 January 2021, Manila Times ). The declaration and discussion are made by Butuan-based Fr Amalla in his 644-page book. Among other things, he writes: The truth is that the prevailing state- and church-affirmation and multiple reaffirmations of the island of Limasawa as the site of that first Holy Mass have no factual, historical and geographic (bases) whatsoever nor any shred of evidentiary support from cartographic studies, navigational info...

PH Transformation – Via Ron Amos Jr’s “Cultural Revolution” Or Frank A Hilario’s “Agri-Cultural Revolution”?

Thursday morning, 29 April 2021, at about 0830 hours, I read Ron Amos Jr’s “The Need For A Cultural Revolution” as his “Transit Dialog” Facebook post, all 722 words excluding byline, and I have been moved to respond via this essay – because what Mr Amos is sharing is 100% problem and 0% solution! Mr Amos says: What we need is to reimagine and reinvent the country and ourselves: a cultural revolution that will create not only our identity but also our unified spirit. How we do it is by transitioning from the medieval age of rule by influence, wealth, creed, and power towards a society that willingly balances the individual and the community, freedom and restraint, and privileges and duties. How do we do ALL that? Mr Amos is not saying. The best that he says towards a solution is this, “A Call To Action:” So as not to point fingers, we all start within ourselves – our backyards, bloodlines, and even barkadas. Our leaders need a change of mind from preserving their status quo to ...

The PhilRice Drum Seeder Looked Good In April 2018 – Where Is It Now?

Above, top image, the Antique ricefield looks very promising in yield. Here is the story as shared on Facebook by PhilRice (my translation in English): TINGNAN! Unang palayan sa Sta. Ana, Tibiao, Antique na natamnan ng 60kg binhi kada ektarya sa pamamagitan ng sabog-tanim. Look! First ricefield in Santa Ana, Tibiao, Antique that was planted with 60 kg seeds per hectare by way of broadcasting. Sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon, natunghayan ng mga magsasaka sa nasabing lugar na kayang-kaya ang 60kg kada ektarya gamit ang seed spreader machine (granular applicator) at certified seeds mula sa RCEF. For the first time ever, farmers in that area witnessed that 60 kg/ha is quite enough using a seed spreader machine (granular applicator) and certified seeds from RCEF. Makikita sa larawan na magaganda ang naging tubo at mabubulas ang mga itinanim na palay. What can be seen in the picture is beautiful growth of and robust rice plants. Ayon sa ulat, namangha ang mga magsasaka rito na kay...
