AT A GLANCE

• “I advocate now for new beginnings and betterment, as well as the redemption of persons deprived of liberty. Likewise, I also visit different prisons to give them hope as much as possible. I show my gratefulness to God that he has given me a second life by paying it forward to those that are still inside and needing inspiration. I recall many times when some individuals visit us behind bars, and I would be extremely energized and inspired, especially if they were also in prison before."

Now that the Philippines’ judicial courts have released the verdict that television host Karen Bordador is innocent, the sexy YouTuber has a new purpose in life after living with persons denied of liberty (PDL) for over five years.

“I advocate now for new beginnings and betterment, as well as the redemption of persons deprived of liberty. Likewise, I also visit different prisons to give them hope as much as possible. I show my gratefulness to God that he has given me a second life by paying it forward to those that are still inside and needing inspiration. I recall many times when some individuals visit us behind bars, and I would be extremely energized and inspired, especially if they were also in prison before. 

"And now that they’re doing so well in life, I manifested behind bars that I want to be that person who enters a depressed facility and brings people back to life. Now that I am that person I manifested five years ago,  I empower our PDLs by letting them know that they have a future waiting for them; that they should know their purpose and follow the lessons learned inside. 

"To do this, I do a lot of low-key visitations to jails as long as I have a budget and also donations. I try to do this constantly. Sometimes I get to vlog it and it’s for the reason that I want to send a message out to everyone that people in jail must be given the same tender, loving care as they would. 

"For any other human being who has made a mistake in life, we should not judge or condemn anyone in bars but rather give them a means and the way to reform and become better people. Through education, new skills, and a different perspective I do believe those that are incarcerated can come out as good citizens that can be role models in the outside world. 

"I do my best to convey this message on my Vlog, Karen Bordador, YouTube channel. I also do a lot of interviews for people that have lost their way. I vlog their struggles inside so people can be sympathetic to the crisis of others," said Karen.

It was the year 2016 when Karen's life paused like the ones we see in the movies and for five years she was in prison waiting for the courts of the Philippines to release the verdict that she was innocent. The sexy influencer tells us her story. 

“Before being in bars, my career was blooming. I was actually a well-known model who graced a lot of magazine centerfolds. I was also quite known as a radio DJ on monster radio RX93.1  and I just got out of a reality TV show on ABS-CBN so I was transitioning from radio waves to local TV likewise I was getting a lot of movie and TV offers. 

"Basically my life was great before I lost everything. My life stopped on August 13, 2016. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Supposedly, I was being asked to join to answer a couple of questions, but they included me in the case, because my name was known, and it seemed very sensational. 

"It was a judgment by the media. I was in bars for nearly five years, but to be specific four years and 10 months. The first month was extremely overwhelming. It was so noisy. The news brutalized my name which affected my family, their businesses, and of course their mental health. 

"It was very difficult for them as they were the ones defending me from the outside. While in bars, I was adjusting to the new life of sleeping on the floor and taking a bath in the bathroom that had no door and no hot water. I rely on food sent to me by my family instead of me buying my own food. 

"Losing my career and having a lot of people judge me was devastating.  My name trended for nearly three months with nothing but judgment. Eventually, I found my peace for people did not understand what I was going through. I did not expect to be put in bars where I have done nothing wrong, but being known can implicate you. 

"It was extremely overwhelming and as I look back, I’m honestly proud of myself for overcoming that part of my life. I’m so proud of my family for being able to move forward despite such a horrific experience.”

Karen and I graduated from the same high school. All of us share the same accent so I asked her how she survived inside the prison with that accent.

“Studying in an exclusive girls' school,  we have grown up with an accent, and of course, great English skills, so Tagalog was not my number one language. It was a bit challenging because people in bars were speaking in a different way, and I wanted to get along with everyone so I had to adjust with that. I opened myself to street talk and very interesting words that were only created in bars.

"All of which were very insightful to me. However, with our education, I was able to teach them English so I left with a cell that speaks better English than the other cells. I’m quite proud of that. 

"Luckily, I am a very versatile person. I have changeable standards, and I work with what I had inside bars from a queen size bed, I had to sleep on a yoga mat. We all sleep together on the floor so I would have women squishing me in the middle while sleeping.

"I had to start sharing food with random people because that’s how it is inside, I had to sit and sleep in one spot and I couldn’t really roam around because that’s not allowed. So instead I did activities in my one sport and read hundreds of books. 

 

"I started to learn how to sketch and color. I wrote in my diary every single day, and eventually, I learned how to dance Zumba with the girls inside. Since there was no quality food, I sadly had to eat instant noodles and everything instant. I am so grateful my mom sent me food from time to time from my home, but aside from that, we only had junk food and I didn’t have the means to earn so I relied on an allowance for my parents. 

"Waiting for my case to progress for five years,  I started to head the livelihood program, and I designed bags and wallets which were sold to fellow prisoners for them, and their families, which brought in compensation for me and for everyone else. Also, I was a leader inside, so I had to discipline the chaotic lawlessness that would happen from time to time.”

I asked Karen why it took a long five years before the Philippine judicial courts released the verdict that she was not guilty, “ The hearings lengthen, because a hearing would only happen once in two months, or maybe twice in a month, but they would be canceled because of unforeseen reasons that I felt were not all valid, but I couldn’t do anything. Then the pandemic happened so all the hearings stopped for a very long time. My judge passed away, and that prolonged more delays. CCTV showed my innocence, and even if it was shown from the very beginning of the case,  pre-judgment by media just didn’t allow it to be valid but eventually in the last few months,  the CCTV was finally given light and it was proven that I was innocent.”

I asked the Star Magic host if she believed in the saying that you are placed in darkness for you to see the light. “I often question God before why He put me in such a horrific place knowing that I was a peaceful, kind-hearted loving person. I have always enjoyed empowering my friends and the people around me, especially those that are listening to me on the radio, so why me? And after a long period of being inside, I just felt a purpose that made me realize maybe that is why God brought me to a place where nobody will ever speak out for them. There’s nothing glamorous in advocating the rehabilitation of PDL but it’s a calling I felt God needed me to do. And I do feel the light when I am in action. My time inside has also given me so much wisdom and learning.  I do not have the same shallow mindset as I did before. Now I value service to others, and I feel like empowering others is a duty and a calling. So yes, there’s always a light in the dark, and anyone in the dark must find it to unlock them to their new beginning.”

At present Karen is happy to share that she is back in the entertainment world. ABS CBN has given her a platform to share her story through PBB, Celebrities, Season 10; and also in Charo Santos’ Maalaala Mo Kaya (MMK). Karen has now been able to reestablish herself as a TV talk show host, and she also has a radio show. “Most of the projects I am doing now are sharing my learnings, my story, and also giving advice. I am also finally involving myself in our family business so I am juggling a corporate life and an entertainment life. For now, I am in my happiest state. Many establishments are opening their arms to me. I have been working with a lot of different brands as I have learned the world of being an influencer and content creator. I am extremely grateful to be working with so many of them. Hopefully, when I am more established, I can help the aftercare of the newly released persons deprived of liberty, so that they too can have a second chance in life so they will not go back to their old ways.” 

Watch out for Karen’s upcoming dating show and a risk disaster show that she will be hosting. It will be on RD Y Pinas (Ready Pinas). Do check her out on her Facebook, TikTok especially her YouTube channel Karen Bordadror.   

Enter the dragon fruit: A businessman discovers farming during the pandemic

BY MANILA BULLETIN AGRICULTURE

By Henrylito D. Tacio

In The Light in the Heart, Roy T. Bennett wrote: “Your hardest times often lead to the greatest moments of your life. Keep going. Tough situations build strong people in the end.”

This statement came into reality when coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) hit the country in March 2020. For the sake of public safety, Filipinos were told to stay home. The country was in lockdown mode. Businesses were greatly affected.

One of those who was impacted from the beatings of the pandemic was Geoffrey C. Igagamao, a businessman from Davao City. As his T-shirt business—he designs, prints and makes shirts—was considered non-essential, his source of income dropped.

Being the principal breadwinner of the family, he had to find some cash to augment whatever savings he had. Fortunately, it was at this time that the plantito and plantita hype commenced.

Since his backyard was unattended, he decided to turn it into a vegetable garden. Aside from providing his family with a steady source of safe and fresh vegetables, he sold some of his harvests to his neighbors who were afraid of going to the public market.

Ornamentals craze

But it wasn’t only him who was doing it. Others, particularly women, also planted and even collected ornamentals. There were those who really made money out of it as prices of ornamental plants skyrocketed.

Ornamental plants, grown primarily for their beauty and aesthetic quality, received the spotlight as people became devoted to gardening for stress relief. Besides, they had nothing to do at home, so they might as well grow ornamentals.

Igagamao saw the opportunity. He started selling vermicast, or worm castings, as an organic soil conditioner and a 100% natural fertilizer. He got his supply from a friend in Bansalan, Davao del Sur, who brought sacks whenever he visited Davao City.

Abandoned farm

But the income was not enough to support the needs of the couple and their five kids: Mico, Miggy, Janna, and twins Ayah and Aycah. It was at this time that Igagamao remembered the two-hectare farm given to him by his parents. He decided to visit the farm located in Balnate, a barangay in Magsaysay, Davao del Sur, about a two-hour ride from Davao City.

When he got there, he looked closely at the farm, which was planted with mangoes. But the mangoes—being abandoned and not fertilized—were not giving profitable harvests. He thought of planting it to another crop which would be a big hit in the market. He wanted to plant a crop that will be preferred by consumers.

After talking with some friends and people who were into farming, as well as conducting his own research, he decided to plant dragon fruit, a tropical fruit that is sweet and crunchy. It is described as a cross between kiwi and pear. A type of cactus actually, it has a creamy texture with tiny seeds similar to that of kiwi fruit.

Self-made farmer

Although his parents were farmers, Igagamao had never tried farming at all, so it was totally a new job for him. So, he watched all the videos pertaining to dragon fruits on YouTube. He also read whatever articles and features written on it he could find. He even visited dragon fruit farms and had the opportunity of talking with the late Mrs. Editha Dacuycuy of Ilocos, touted to be the queen of dragon fruits in the Philippines.

With the knowledge gained from his research, the self-made farmer built 134 posts in April 2021. Six months later, he added 760 posts. Before the year was over, he added 600 posts more. In every post, he planted four seedlings with a distance of 3 meters by 3 meters.

“I can’t say it’s hard or easy to grow and manage the dragon fruits,” he admitted. “But I can say I was doing well because the original 134 posts I had, the seedlings were growing great. I applied all the knowledge I knew.”

There are several varieties of dragon fruits. He selected what is scientifically known as Hylocereus polyrhizuz, the fruit with pink skin and pink flesh. It is larger and sweeter than the most common variety, which has pink skin and white flesh.

Igagamao got his planting materials from reliable sources in Kiblawan, Davao del Sur and Kidapawan, North Cotabato. When those sources couldn’t supply the planting materials he needed, he went to Ozamis City in Misamis Occidental.

Dragon fruits management

Like most neophyte farmers, he had to rely on the knowledge he got from his readings and consultations. Among those he put into practice were the following: planting the right cuttings, applying the recommended fertilizers, and doing weekly side pruning and monthly weeding removal. He also conducts personal disease management.

He found that the roots, stems, foliar and flower buds, flowers, and fruits are susceptible to attack by a range of pests and diseases. Pests include mites, thrips, ants, scale insects, mealy bugs, beetles, slugs, borers, nematodes, fruit flies and rodents such as mice, birds or bats.

“Every other day, I had to make rounds to check every post if there are plants which are attacked by pests or have diseases,” he said. “When I found a disease, I cut the diseased branch and burned it.”

Irrigation is critical during fertilizer applications and fruiting. He applies mostly natural fertilizers in the form of vermicast, carbonized rice hull, and goat manure. Commercial fertilizers are also used only as add-ons.

Igagamao has no problem as to the source of water. There is a creek near his farm. He also gets water from the spring not far from his farm. “Dragon fruits may belong to the cactus family but they need water, especially at the time when they are fruiting,” he said.

Pruning, whether major or minor ones, is a regular operation, regardless of the age of the dragon fruits. “I have to prune them in order to have an open, manageable and productive umbrella-shaped canopy,” he said.

Igagamao is not alone in doing all these management practices, however. He has someone to help him on his farm. “I have instructed him [on] what to do when I am not around,” he said.

In the past, he was on the farm only three days a week. After a day’s work, he went home to his parents’ house in Bansalan, which is about a 30-minute ride. (His family lives in Davao City, which is about 90 kilometers away from the farm.)

When the dragon fruits started bearing fruit, he wanted to take care of them personally, so he decided to build a small hut in the middle of the farm. He stays there for five days and goes home to Davao City on weekends.

Selling initiatives

The first batch of dragon fruits started bearing fruit the following year. He was able to harvest 100 kilograms from the 134 posts in April 2022. The other batches of dragon fruits from different posts followed thereafter.

Today, he harvests around 200 kilograms every week. He started harvesting last March, and will end by the end of October. Because it’s harvesting season, he hired another laborer to help.

Here, the caretaker brings the harvested dragon fruits to the area where they are sorted. (Henrylito Tacio)

Igagamao sells his dragon fruits at P160 per kilogram. “Most people here are not familiar with dragon fruits, unlike mangoes,” he said. “In fact, when I planted dragon fruits, our neighbors were wondering what plant I was planting.”

He doesn’t have any problem selling his fruits, however. He does it through social media marketing. He and his wife, Joanne, post the farm’s produced fruits on their Facebook account and the buyers just respond by telling him how many kilograms they want. Most of those who do this are of Chinese descent.

Igagamao also has an online store where people can order the volume of dragon fruits they want. He doesn’t deliver them but asks someone to bring the fruits to people who order them. He also has consolidators that sell the fruits in malls in Davao City.

He is thinking of distributing his dragon fruits to various hotels once his crops are producing optimum fruits. Right now, he gets only seven kilograms of fruits per post. After three years, he could get about 20 kilograms per post. The optimum 50 kilograms per post may be attained when the plants are already 10 years old.

Current situation

From the initial two hectares, the dragon fruit farm is now three hectares. He asked his sibling, who works as a nurse in the United States, if he can use the one hectare she inherited from their parents. She agreed. All in all, there are 1,500 posts with four dragon fruit plants grown on each post.

There are a few mango trees still standing on the farm. Aside from dragon fruits, he also planted grapes., which occupy about 150 square meters of the farm. He also is also raising some chickens and goats.

He also raises free-range chickens. (Henrylito Tacio)

“I added them to maximize the yield of my farm,” he pointed out. “At least, I have other fallbacks in case one is not performing well.”

Other plans

Since a lot of people are now requesting to visit his farm, he is thinking of turning it into one of the farm tourism destinations in the province. “That’s my ultimate goal,” he said. “I want to showcase it to farmer-wannabes that there is income in serious farming.”

He is also aiming the farm to become a Learning Site for Agriculture (LSA). “I have just applied for LSA at the Agricultural Training Institute of the Department of Agriculture,” he said.

According to ATI guidelines, to qualify as a Learning Site, the farmer should be a successful or model farmer who is willing to act as resource person and trainer and turn the farm into a demonstration area or a hands-on learning site.

Aside from selling fresh dragon fruits, he has also ventured into wine making, which he “discovered” by accident. When he went to Ozamis City to buy planting materials, he also bought 150 kilograms of dragon fruits.

When they arrived home, about 80 kilograms were destroyed during the trip. Instead of throwing them away, his wife Joan thought of turning them into wine. She consulted some friends and learned more from YouTube posts. They also consulted the Department of Science and Technology.

After six months, they tasted the wine and it was alright. People who have bought from them want to get more bottles of the Balnate Reserve, the name of the wine.

But due lack of raw materials (less dragon fruits), he has stopped making wine in the meantime. “My future plan is to continue my wine making,” he said.

Formula for success

Igagamao has gone a long, long way. The city man is now loving every bit of farming. Had it not been for the pandemic, he would never have discovered that farming is a profitable venture (although his family is still doing the T-shirt business).

“If you go into farming, you should love doing it in order for it to prosper,” he said. “Industriousness, perseverance and determination may be all but you can do it if you love doing and like what you are doing.”

Or as Roy T. Bennett said, “Challenge and adversity are meant to help you know who you are. Storms hit your weakness, but unlock your true strength.”

What’s inside a tourist rest area (TRA)? Now, tourists in Mindanao, specifically in Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon would find out as the first TRA in the region has opened recently. 

With the goal of enhancing the overall tourist experience, it’s not only a rest stop but also features an information center, comfortable lounge area with charging stations, a pasalubong corner, and a quaint coffee shop. Plus (and this is important) a clean restroom. 

Photos from the Department of Tourism (DOT) FB page.

What’s more is that this TRA also features works from local artists, highlighting the vibrant and creative spirit of the locals, a preview of the region's rich cultural heritage.

According to a statement from the Department of Tourism (DOT), the TRA is proof of the administration’s vision to revitalize the nation's tourism industry through improved infrastructure, innovative initiatives, and equal opportunities for development.

The TRA was made possible through a partnership between the Tourism Infrastructure Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) and the local government of Manolo Fortich.

There are plans to inaugurate 10 TRAs throughout the country this year, with an additional 15 TRAs currently in development — all aimed at enhancing the country's tourism potential and making it convenient for all while visiting the countryside.

Still licking their wounds from a loss to host Vietnam the day before, the Filipina spikers struggled to counter the strong attacks of the Thais to absorb their second straight loss in as many games.

Bella Belen led the PH squad with 10 points while Alyssa Solomon added six points, but their efforts were not enough as Thailand pounced on them with their ferocious kills anchored on Janthawisut Sasipapron.

Sasipapron spearheaded the Thais with 12 points built on 10 kills and two aces, while getting reinforcements from Srithong Wipawee and Sooksod Thanacha, who had eight and seven points, respectively. 

So powerful were Thailand’s offense that it dominated the PH bets on attacks, 49-24. The Thais also unleashed strong serves with six aces.

Thailand’s victory tied them with Vietnam with identical 2-0 marks following its straight set win over Indonesia on Friday, Aug. 4.

Reicht meine Rente aus? So lesen Sie die Renteninformation richtig

Stand:07.08.2023, 17:14 Uhr

Von: Lisa Mayerhofer

Bescheid der Deutschen Rentenversicherung. © Zoonar.com/Stockfotos-MG/Imago

Wie viel Rente bekomme ich im Alter? Darüber gibt die jährliche Renteninformation Auskunft – allerdings nur bis zu einem gewissen Grad. Eine Übersicht.

Berlin – Die meisten Menschen haben nur eine ungefähre Vorstellung davon, wie viel Geld ihnen mal im Alter bleibt. Dabei ist es ungeheuer wichtig, sich rechtzeitig auf die Rente vorzubereiten, damit es im Ruhestand nicht finanziell zu eng wird. Doch wo kann ich überhaupt sehen, welche Rente ich später einmal bekomme? Auskunft darüber gibt die jährlich per Post verschickte Renteninformation. Eine Übersicht. 

Wer erhält eine Renteninformation?

Die Deutsche Rentenversicherung (DRV) verschickt die Renteninformationen automatisch an alle Versicherten, die mindestens 27 Jahre alt sind und fünf Jahre Beitragszeiten erworben haben. Die DRV versichert, dass die Informationen immer auf der aktuellen Rechtslage basieren und Änderungen des Rentenrechts berücksichtigt werden. Sie wird unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen auch ins Ausland verschickt. 

Regelaltersrente, Erwerbsminderung: Was steht in der Renteninformation?

In der Renteninformation werden unter anderem die erworbenen Rentenansprüche und eine Hochrechnung der voraussichtlichen Altersrente dargestellt. Sie soll Ihnen eine erste Hilfestellung sein, um sich klar zu werden, wie viel Geld Sie im Alter erhalten werden. Folgende Informationen gibt es für Versicherte, wenn sie den Brief Stück für Stück durchgehen:

1. Regelaltersgrenze: Im ersten Absatz erfahren Sie, ab welchem Jahr Sie Ihre Regelaltersgrenze erreicht haben – also, ab wann Sie ohne Abschläge Ihre gesetzliche Rente beziehen können. Darauf folgen drei Beträge, die in einem Kästchen abgebildet sind. Sie bezeichnen von oben nach unten. 

2. Rente bei voller Erwerbsminderung: Das ist der Rentenanspruch, den Sie heute erhalten würden, falls Sie vollkommen erwerbsgemindert wären, also gesundheitlich so eingeschränkt sind, dass Sie keiner Arbeit in irgendeiner Form nachgehen können.

3. Höhe der künftigen Regelaltersrente: Das sind die momentan erworbenen Ansprüche auf die volle Rente. Wenn man noch sehr jung ist, ist diese Zahl natürlich sehr niedrig. Diese Information ist interessant, wenn man sich beispielsweise gerade selbstständig macht und in Zukunft keine Rentenbeiträge mehr zahlen muss – denn der Anspruch auf diese Rente bleibt trotzdem erhalten. MEIN BEREICH

4. Höhe der künftigen Regelaltersrente: Diese Zahl gibt an, wie hoch Ihre Rente im Alter ausfallen wird, wenn Sie so weiter verdienen wie jetzt. Dabei handelt es sich um eine Hochrechnung.

Wichtige Faktoren: Rentenanpassung, Kaufkraft, Beiträge

Diese Angabe ist natürlich nicht in Stein gemeißelt: Wenn sich Ihre Erwerbssituation verändert – Sie beispielsweise weniger arbeiten und weniger verdienen, verringert sich der Rentenanspruch. Zusätzlich kann es sein, dass es Rentenanpassungen gibt, auch darauf wird in der Renteninformation hingewiesen. Dann kann die Rente unter Umständen höher ausfallen – diese Erhöhungen sind allerdings nicht im Voraus abzusehen. 

Auch nicht vorauszusehen ist der Kaufkraftverlust durch die Inflation. Das bedeutet, dass es sein kann, dass Sie sich in 20 Jahren für 2000 Euro viel weniger leisten können als heute. Die DRV betont deshalb auch, dass eine zusätzliche Altersvorsorge zur gesetzlichen Rente immer wichtiger wird.

Auch wichtig: Die Beträge in der Renteninformation sind in Brutto angegeben. Das bedeutet, dass von dem genannten Rentenbetrag noch Kranken- und Pflegeversicherungsbeiträge sowie teilweise auch Steuern anfallen können.

Der Rente-Newsletter: Wege in die Frührente

Wichtige Entwicklungen rund um Ihre Rente erhalten Sie wöchentlich am Mittwoch

Mit Klick auf den Button "Zum Newsletter anmelden" stimme ich den Datenschutzbestimmungen zu.

Jetzt neu: Die digitale Rentenübersicht

Ab jetzt gibt es auch eine Möglichkeit, die Renteninformation online abzufragen. Auf der Plattform rentenuebersicht.de können sich Bürger seit kurzem einen Gesamtüberblick über ihre gesetzliche, betriebliche und private Altersvorsorge verschaffen und sich über die im Alter zu erwartende Finanzsituation informieren.

Allerdings ist die Seite noch nicht vollständig. Die Rentenversicherung ist darauf angewiesen, dass sich die privaten Altersvorsorge-Anbieter beteiligen und ihre Daten zur Verfügung stellen. Im Laufe des Jahres soll das ausgebaut werden. Registrierung und Login laufen über die Online-Funktion des Personalausweises mit der dazugehörigen „AusweisApp2“ auf dem Smartphone. Außerdem benötigt man seine Steuer-ID.
