martin masadao: Five Filipino gay caregivers in Israel decide to form a singing group (in drag) and reach for the heights, i.e. to be regular performers in a club in Tel Aviv. The Philippine Educational Theatre Association's (PETA) most recent offering is Liza Magtoto's 'Care Divas'.
Truly an ensemble performance by the cast, 'Care Divas' is a wonderful romp into the lives of these Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) -- we hear their travails, we delight at their little accomplishments, we sympathize with their homesickness, we laugh at their foibles, we snicker with them as they exchange retorts, we feel their pain -- and yet we triumph with them as they overcome the trials they undergo. Magtoto's script encompasses the OFW's plight. We see how OFW's are caught between their desire to provide for their families back home and their alienation in the country of their destination. The main characters may be gay, but they surely encompass the OFW experience.
Typical of PETA's productions wherein actors are made to play different characters, the guest actor, Paul Holme charmingly transforms from Daddy Isaac to Captain to Club Manager and back and forth. DudzTerana as Thalia is reminiscent of Lisa Kudrow's Phoebe on the sitcom 'Friends'. Thalia's one-liners consistently elicit guffaws from the audience. The true standout however belongs to Chelsea (Melvin Lee). Chelsea's heartwarming interaction with his ward Daddy Isaac, his subsequent relationship with Faraj, his struggle to be the catalyst of the Care Divas, and his recollection of his coming-to-terms with his homosexuality -- are portrayed with a depth and sensitivity that comes forth in Lee's every movement, gesture, nuance, look.
The script's strengths are in the main characters' details. The insecurity/paranoia of Shainawith regards to his mother back home, the helplessness of Kyla upon realizing the prospect of deportation, the steadfastness of Jonee, the naivete (not to mention the kleptomaniac tendencies) of Thalia, and the resolve of Chelsea. The exchange between the Jewish Mother and son, however, was a tad indulgent, if I may say so, and comes out not to have any real purpose in the end.
Vince de Jesus, the composer and lyricist, gives us a bevy of musical numbers that cunningly gets its inspiration from other musical genres but definitely comes out originally and stands out on its own merits.I particularly liked Chelsea's last solo number -- the purity of emotion evoked in the lyrics. Oh, Vince de Jesus, by the way also portrays Shaina.
Kudos to the direction of Maribel Legarda. Her treatment of the script does not patronize nor trivialize the OFW experience. Ditto the gay lifestyle. It was good judgment on her part to exercise restraint so that the production does not come out too campy. The Care Divas' musical numbers are at the opposite end of the usual gay-comedy-bar-routine of excess, slapstick, and coarse jesting. Legarda's overall direction (along with the choreography ofCarlon Matobato) is a fresh respite from the usual brouhaha and empty bravado we are bombarded with daily on local television.

DOREEN ELLEN BELL-DOTAN, TZFAT: When we take every step in Gratitude and in Respect and Sacred Awe for the power that resides in Nature, then the promise: "Everywhere you step your foot down, there it will be yours" is fulfilled. We become true sovereign on the Land, and our Sovereignty extends from the heights of Heaven to the depths of the Abyss. This is the true meaning of the Kingdom of David - The Kingdom of the Beloved.
iamsooz-sooziam: Sunset over Haifa by JoeHabib
Jerusalem Post: How many Filipinos are currently working here in Israel?
H.E. Petronilla Garcia: Any figure I could give you would be a wild guess. Officially, it’s about 40,000. That number, of course, doesn’t include the Filipinos that are here married to Israelis, Filipinos here on permanent residence visas, Filipinos here on friendship visas, their Filipino-Israeli children, or of course the undocumented Filipinos in the country. So, it may be more. It’s hard to say.
It’s well known that almost all of the Filipinos who work in Israel are involved in care-giving, for the elderly.
Jerusalem Post: Are you making any effort to broaden the opportunities of Filipino workers into other sectors?
H.E. Petronilla Garcia: Yes, absolutely. We have Filipino hi-tech programmers who come here. They work at a hi-tech company in Haifa. We have Filipino seamen who come here. Their ports of call are Haifa and Ashdod. We have Filipinos in the Golan. That’s a whole battalion!
We also have students in agriculture who come here to study. This involves intensive, on-the-job training and has been very successful. And we do have a few workers coming into the agricultural sector. I would like to see more in the future.
Jerusalem Post: What do you see as your major accomplishments here in Israel?
H.E. Petronilla Garcia: I’m happy that the “Open Doors” monument in Rishon Lezion was constructed and dedicated. The dedication ceremony on June 21, 2009 was very, very moving. The project began before I arrived here, and it was the achievement of many people – the Filipino community in Israel, the Jewish community in the Philippines, Holocaust survivors – all working together to create this memorial. I feel very fortunate that it materialized and was completed during my watch.
In March last year, I took the initiative of hosting a dinner with the president of Israel. And that for me was wonderful – all the Asian ambassadors were there.
Israelis are very casual people, and they like to operate from a level of friendship. I learned that the first time I was here. If the ambassador has friends, the work of the consular section in assisting nationals is very much facilitated. That has been one of my major achievements. Also extending my contacts nationwide by having honorary consuls in Ashdod, Haifa and Jerusalem. This has also helped our work a lot.
It’s all about relations. It’s about making friends, and having personal relations with high officials and business leaders.
Ari Luebitz: Filipinos have become beloved and valued members of Israeli households, known throughout for their compassion and humanity, and their capacity to give and to care well above and beyond the call of duty.
terriblerealestateagentphotos: Modern building techniques now allow completed houses to be dropped into position from a great height, with variable results.

1. Bad reasons.

Moses: And of Asher he said: “May Asher be blessed with sons. He will be pleasing to his brothers, and immerse his foot in oil. Your locks are iron and copper, and the days of your old age will be like the days of your youth. Jeshurun, there is none like God; He Who rides the heavens is at your assistance, and with His majesty, [He rides] the skies, which are the abode for the God Who precedes all, and below, are the mighty ones of the world. He expelled the enemy from before you, and said, ‘Destroy!’ And Israel dwelled safely and alone as Jacob [blessed them], in a land of grain and wine; also, their heavens will drip dew. Fortunate are you, O Israel! Who is like you, O people whose salvation is through the Lord, the Shield Who helps you, your majestic Sword! Your enemies will lie to you, but you will tread upon their heights.”

Rabbi Ari Z. Zivotofsky: Rav Yosef Karo, the author of the Shulchan Aruch, says that the custom is to treat the buffalo as a behama -domesticated animal. The Ramo, living in Poland and geographically removed from the source of this halacha, may have been unfamiliar with the water buffalo of Italy. He was equivocal, and wrote that the buffalo is kosher but should be treated as a safek (doubt) and have the stringencies of both a behama and a chaya.
Charles P. Castro: A young carabao being axed prior to butchering as part of the festivities during the Dupax del Sur town fiesta in 2011. Events like this must have occurred by the hundreds in Dupax during the Philippine Revolution since the town used to have plenty of carabaos.
