The Quite life
Happy the man, whose wish and care
A few paternal acres bound,
Content to breath his native air
In his own ground.
Whose herds with milks, whose fields with bread,
Whose flocks supply him with attire;
Whose trees in summer yidld him shade,
In winter, fire.
Blest,who can unconcern’dly find
Hours, day and years, slide soft away
In health of body, peace of mind
Quite by day.
Sound sleep by night, study and ease
Together mix’d sweet recreation,
And innocence, which most does please
With meditation.
Thus let me liye, unseen, unknown;
Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world, and not a stone
Tell where I lie.

The Speaking Flower
A flower grew on tropical soil
its petals waxen white,
its centur crimson;
the people knelt
and smelt her
intoxicating fragrance
and then felt
mysteriously - free.
Soon the flower
was transplanted
onto yonder shores,
it blossomed,
sprouted limbs,
swaying in the wind,
it breathed the breeze
of liberty.
One day,
the flower returned;
striking her origina soil
her clours ignited;
from her petals
crimson rose enflamed:
‘even the searing heat
cannot erase the blood
on the street.’
White simply said:
‘I am truth;
how long will they use
brute force
to besmirch me?’
The people in
the tropical garden
hailed the
speaking flower,
but the dour vines
choked and encompassed it,
till it was no longer free.
It plucked the flower
and placed it
in a throttled
bottle-neck vase
and here the flower remained,
for eleven years
seven months
and
twenty-seven days.
It did not wilt,
it did not stint
its words.
Its green stalk spoke:
‘stem the politics of hate
we will forever commemorate
the martyrs of
eight, eight, eighty-eight.’
No one could silence
the speaking flowe!
The vines called her ‘foreign’
certain her luminosity
would irradiate
the soil;
they did everything to foil
her speech.
But to the people
in the tropical garden
by Inya Lake,
she was simply,
Aung San Suu Kyi
- the daughter of democracy.

were gunned down by the military.

Press Release: Naing Koko
IT'S BURMA NOT MYANMAR!
Solons take strong position against ruling junta in Burma
"Rest assured that we will always support you 100% on your struggle for democracy in Burma and we will do everything not just to urge but to compel the military government to sit down in a dialogue. "
Thus said Cebu Representative Antonio Cuenco, chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs in response to the appeal of a guest Member of Parliament Union from Burma Khun Myint Tun for the Philippine government, Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and United Nations to support the democratization process in Burma and call for the rejection of military regime's so-called Roadmap to Democracy.
In a hearing held in Congress, the Committee on Foreign Affairs deliberated House Resolutions Nos. 265, 279 and 260 specifically issuing condemnations to the brutal dispersal of protesters during the September Saffron Revolution last year in Burma. Congressman Jose Solis is the main author of HR 265, while Cuenco sponsored HR 265. Akbayan Representative Riza Hontiveros-Baraquel , with Lorenzo Tanada II and Rep. Maria Isabelle G. Climaco were the authors of HR 260. Bayan Muna Rep. Satur Ocampo also issued a resolution.
Khun Myin Tun, the guest parliamentarian read a speech echoing the demands of the peoples of Burma and their truly elected leaders. Members of the Parliament Union (Burma) on July 21 sent a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon urging the UN to reject the roadmap because it is no longer relevant in achieving democracy in Burma. The letter likewise stated the need to declare as illegitimate Burma's new Constitution because it would further legitimize the junta in power.
USE YOUR LIBERTY TO PROMOTE OURS
The guest parliamentarian, in a teary-eyed and already emotional tone narrated in Congress his life as a prisoner of Burma for more than 7 years and told Congress about the real situation of the peoples of Burma that suffer not just political persecution but also abject poverty.
Moved by Khun Myint Tun's emotional speech, Rep. Cuenco repeteadly stated "We should take stronger position against the government of Burma, and think of other ways on how to compel the regime to democratize. "
Akbayan Rep. Hontiveros-Baraquel also urged Congress to support other demands including the rejection of the result of national referendum in Burma which was pursued by the ruling military regime amidst calamity situation in the said country. Baraquel said that the result of the referendum which is 92% voting YES in favor of the new Constituion is highly unbelievable.
Former Akbayan Rep. Loretta Anne Rosales on her part denounced the regime's continuous extension of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's house arrest. Rosales reiterated the demand to release the NLD leader and all prisoners of conscience languishing in various detention centers in Burma.
Initiatives for International Dialogue (IID) executive director Gus Miclat Jr. said, "We laud the Congress move to address the issue of Burma by taking stronger positions against the military regime. We hope that the ASEAN and even the UN would also contribute more by echoing the calls of the truly elected leaders of Burma."
Throughout the hearing and even included in some documents presented by the Committee, Filipino solons consistently used Burma and not Myanmar as an official name to address the subject country. Democracy supporters for Burma believe that "this simply reflects the sincerity of Congress to address the Burma issue."
The Committee decided unanimously to adopt and merge all the resolutions including the recent demands of the Members of the Parliament Union (Burma).

The aid operation has faced logistical problems, due to a lack of boats and helicopters and the destruction of transport and communications infrastructure in the cyclone.
But these problems have been exacerbated by the Burmese military regime?s unwillingness to waive visa and customs restrictions for relief workers. ?Some United Nations aid officials are getting into the country, but many are still waiting for visa clearances,? Horsey said.
At least 40 visa applications are waiting to be processed in and around Bangkok, the UN has said. The World Food Programme has also had difficulties distributing supplies that have already been flown into the country. ?My understanding is that they are having problems getting the aid cleared through customs,? Horsey said. ?It?s not the planes that are the problem, it?s the aid that is on the planes, and they?re having difficulties getting the customs clearance.? Horsey stressed the importance of allowing essential staff, relief supplies and logistical equipment in to the country to avoid a ?second disaster?. In a press conference yesterday, John Holmes, the UN?s under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs and UN emergency relief coordinator, said the humanitarian response was being hampered by lack of access and urged the junta to redress the situation. ?We are simply trying to help the Government of Myanmar to carry out their responsibilities to aid these people in increasingly desperate need,? Holmes said. ?There are no other political motives in this and, therefore, I appeal very strongly indeed to the Government of Myanmar both to step up their own relief efforts to help people on the ground, and to change their attitude completely to the efforts that we are making to get these relief supplies in.? UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon was also hoping to speak t junta leader senior general Than Shwe to press him to facilitate access.
Holmes said that some progress had been made, and that the Burmese authorities had agreedthat customs charges and clearances should be waived for relief supplies, but this did not sfarseem to have been applied on the ground.
