PCC-NSW walked the talk True to its role as an umbrella body and ever supportive of worthwhile community projects, PCC-NSW did walk the talk by taking responsibility and settling the balance of the Ramos Visit Steering Committee’s bill at Darling Harbour Convention Centre, by supporting the MPC Centre project and raising funds close to $50,000 […]
De Ubago’s final rejoinder: The Truth With a Few Twists and Turns
People choose their own truths and believe what they want to believe. Mr. Pimentel has chosen to swallow Villon’s truth, even with all the twists and turns, after all he is getting a space in return for his MPC defense. Mr. Pimentel may go on spasms but the facts remain the same. Yes, I was […]
Yes, walk the talk by Jimmy Pimentel
Ms Benjie de Ubago would not be the person to take an impartial position on any issue, predictable as her one-eyed views have been against the MPC and, at one time, against Kate Andres over the PCC-NSW constitution when she turned a simple press conference into a raging debate.
Pimentel Should Walk The Talk Too
Mr. Pimentel’s recent attack on PCC provided a comparison of PCC and the MPC or PACF as it is now called. It would have been best if Mr. Pimentel listened to his own advice of “walk the talk” and also did a little sweating and/or did the out of pocket trick before he made the […]
Open Letter by Kate Andres to Pimentel
Dear Jimmy, You must have forgotten the exact words you used in your article. You wrote: “…the PCC-NSW” had to beg the then Filipino Multipurpose Centre (now the PACF) to rescue it from litigation and embarrassment.” ; “And who did the PCC-NSW run to just days before court action would be taken against it?”, the […]
Many inaccuracies in Pimentel’s “Opinion Piece” comment by Kate Andres
I was the president of PCC-NSW during the 2005 State Visit of President Fidel Ramos to Australia. A Steering Committee was established, composed of presidents/heads of community associations (PCC non-affiliates included) to organise the community meeting with President Ramos on 19 August 1995. Jess Diaz (then FILCCA President) and myself as incumbent president of PCC-NSW […]
Opinion: One must walk the talk first by Jaime K Pimentel
A little bird told me that some people within the Philippine Community Council of NSW (PCC-NSW) board want this organisation to take over management of the Philippine Australian Cultural Foundation (PACF) and its centre at Schofields. Whaaaaat!? Well, you know: ”More than 25 years in existence.” With apologies to PCC-NSW president Arturo ‘Atoy’ Sayas, vice […]
Comment on impeachment proceedings
For several days since the senate trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona started, I have tried not to make any comment on the case. After all, it has become sub judice or under judicial consideration. I am fully aware that no comment I make will influence the outcome of the proceedings but allow me to […]
Post Valentine Greetings by Armando Chavez (US Correspondent)
San Francisco. February 14, 2012 Today is a day of hearts and love. It behooves us all to pause and think about love and what it means to each of us. We are now well into decades of loving whether it be the same woman or a succession or a simultaneity of women, or both. […]
Coke secret formula revealed by Dino Crescini
It was an American chemist, John Pemberton, who invented the precise ingredients of Coca Cola in 1886. Since then and for many generations until recently, the formula has been kept a closely-guarded secret, even to top level executives of the soft drink giant.
Lowest paid workers to receive pay rise

My Anti-Ageing Doctor by Dino Crescini, BS, MBA
Though very well known to this writer, his voice still sounds very much like a 40-year old man. But Dr. Miguel Resty Cornejo is now 89. I first met him in my office at Bank of America Manila Branch some 30 years ago. He was complaining about his Visa credit card. Satisfying his requirements, he […]
