reason that even he did not know a personality conflict arose between him and henry ford ii who dismissed him from the company lee admits the event was one of his painful downside in his life but with his dynamic personality and sales experience he maznaged to rebound and later joined chrysler corporation however before lee joined the firm chrysler in 1979 seemed destined for bankruptcy some say that because of lee s timely take over as ceo chrysler was able to forestall bankruptcy with lee iacocca s determination and track record he was able to convince the u s government to release as financial loan or bail out 1 2 billion in loan guarantees provided by the federal government and it didn t cost the taxpayer a penny unable to get private banks to finance a turnaround he went to president carter and congress in search of 1 2 billion in federal loan guarantees to keep the company alive congress agreed and passed the chrysler loan guarantee act after he published his first book an autobiography lee now has come out with a timely and arresting book that many leaders could use to reflect on the basic elements of real leadership whether that of chief executive of a country or a corporation the book where have all the leaders gone written in the candid narrative style that lee is known for is so current that lee even analyzes the present set of candidates who will vie of the position of next president of the united states after graduating from lehigh university which he uses as a model for all the training and skill he learned that came into play when he was chief executive lee won the wallace memorial fellowship and used it to study at princeton university as an engineer iacocca joined in the early 1950 s and after a brief stint on engineering he quickly asked to be moved to sales and marketing where his career flourished in his latest work where have all the leaders gone he came up with a set of qualities of leadership which he calls the nine cs of leadership they are courage character conviction communication competence crisis curious charisma common sense iacocca feels that these are the qualities that every true leader should possess a leader should have courage or balls even female leaders the leader should also have conviction which he says is fire in the belly he considers president bush 400 vacation days unproductive and should be been devoted to the business of governing morever capital hill is also under scrutiny when iacocca noted that congress was in session only ninety seven days in 2006 charisma is the quality that makes people want to follow you he said a leader has to be competent or he has to know what he is doing and well and then a most misunderstood phrase is common sense which is a basic requirement of a good leader or even a good individual a leader must have character or what is called integrity a leader who can communicate means one who faces reality and truth and to say it how it is which the present u s administration seem to lack talking straight seems absent in the current set of leaders in our government today in his opening chapter iacocca exclaims am i the only guy in this country who s fed up with what s happening where the hell is our outrage we should be screaming bloody murder we ve got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff and instead of getting mad everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say stay the course you ve got to be kidding this is america not the damned titanic i ll give you a sound bite throw the bums out it is very significant to note that whatever blunders and many incidents under this administration are not mistakes but blunders a peace corps volunteer teaching in africa heard an elder statesman that there is still no other nation in the world who can exhibit constant and dynamic leadership is the united states of america posted by the joaquins 9 47 am 2 comments wednesday september 12 2007

1999 pilita corrales was the main show and during that time i was seated in mama s box inside the convention hall of washington d c pilita without any warning suddenly announced my name and asked me to come join her onstage to sing with her here is the clip of that singing incident i enjoyed it i hope you do too posted by the joaquins 7 42 pm 4 comments wednesday september 5 2007 reflecting on a post war friend and poet tony manuud born february 4th 1930 died march 7th 1996 we were among the shell shocked filipino teens that suffered through the pacific war from 1941 1945 when we got back to school we felt old at 14 years but ateneo high school was a haven for us still some bore the scars of war some lost their parents who were murdered by retreating japanese shelled homes by the american artillery forces when they liberated manila freeing the interns at the university of santo tomas and other internment camps i almost did not get admitted at the ateneo for the grade school records were all burned when the building inside the walled city the exact place where jose rizal studied as a young boy was bombed during the early days of the war thanks to the nakpil boys and their father juan nakpil who vouched for me during registration time at the padre faura campus where we held our classes in makeshift burnt concrete rooms still with the acrid smell of raw human flesh clinging to crevices the rest of the classes held session in u s installed quonset huts which were like ovens during the summer months and a cold storage in january tony lived in sampaloc with his parents he had two sisters whom we met during our periodic high school dances held in those times at private homes of students these dances were visited by jesuit priests and some nuns just to see how the kids were enjoying themselves slow drag was the favorite dance in which couples held each other tightly and just sort of swayed with the slow soft music as if in a trance or meditating we were warned about this type of dance that could provoke the occasion of sin my sisters and i enjoyed tony s sharp mind and keen wit ateneo boys liked to pun at the time and playing with words phrases and quotations always got many laughing with complete abandon in other mixed groups la salle students frowned on ateneo students being too intellectual they just wanted to dance period after our high school graduation at padre faura tony got a scholarship for a masters in journalism at marquette university in milwaukee wisconsin it was the school for good journalists gaby manalac was another journalism scholarship awardee at this jesuit university after his marquette stint tony returned to manila and taught at the ateneo for a couple of years since we became close friends on and off campus we asked tony to stand as god father to our fourth child ma regina if the old folks are to be believed gina is our brainiest child now into information technology in 1964 he was awarded a fellowship at oxford university exeter and st antony s colleges and another at the university of durham grey college tony enjoyed the three year scholarship to observe english literature courses in both universities he was commended for his distingushed tutorial paper at the end of the course we did not see tony for a while and when he came back he managed to publish the first anthology of filipino fiction the landmark anthology brown heritage essays on philippine cultural tradition and literature admu 1967 which has been reviewed as the book that sparked the revolution in philippine cultural studies as chairman of the english department ateneo de manila university he organized the ateneo institute of philippine literature in 1965 a poem by tony to miren did i forget do i regret days unremembered thoughts unkept a harp once plucked to eloquence by joy long untouched now lies untuned off key not sure if chords ring true listen in coy distress how mute yet singing silently days are remembered thoughts are kept in long long silence with regret antonio p gella manuud bowling green 1973 posted by the joaquins 11 37 am 3 comments thursday august 16 2007 pete roa a dear colleague fast friend 67 manila philippines my good friend pete roa passed away thursday in quezon city his wife actress boots anson said pete has been suffering from cancer of the stomach but the death was triggered by pneumonia and cardiac arrest i first met pete while abs cbn was laying the groundwork for a new tv show i first learned of the planned new tv show when i was called by eugenio lopez jr to join a short meeting at his office he sounded excited but i had no clue as to what kind of program it would be for one thing i held the switcher director button the last time at channel 13 in 1963 and the meeting with geny was in 1970 i was not sure i could do it do i still know how to direct a tv show i was awed by the rapid strides of the electronicmedia technology and somehow there was a lot to catch up on when i got to the abs cbn office of geny i sawsome familiar faces one was e lvira ledesma manahan whom i last saw during the early days of the japanese occupation in 1942 when she appeared as the virgin mary in narciso pimentel jr s holy week stage presentation martir sa golgota passion play of our lord jesus christ elvira was a radiant young visayan teenager who belonged to a group named vsac composed of pretty girls very much sought after for their striking beauty i also saw pete roa whose path crossed mine back in 1962 when i was producing shows at channel 13 the lady who used to appear in fashion shows in my channel was showcased in a new program by another channel channel 5 known as dance o rama the girl baby o brien only daughter of actress paraluman and pete emceed the new noontime show it was when baby left the show that boots anson joined and met pete as the cliché goes the rest is history back to our meeting at geny s office he soon announced the show s name two for the road geny said it was pete who specifically called for me to direct this late night show definitely a philippine tv network s first it seemed that elvira manahan married to the nationally known obstetrician dr constantino manahan who managed the makati medical center had insomnia and could not sleep until early morning so geny got the idea of featuring elvira to appear as the co host in the late night show five nights a week co hosting the show was a dynamic quick witted and fine mannered announcer named joey lardizabal the format of the show was to get interesting guests from all fields both international and national to beinterviewed by elvira and joey the show ran for a couple of years with great success tragedy struck when in the course of the program joey was diagnosed with throat cancer and it was terminal everyone was shocked except joey himself a devout catholic and a courageous one he said that he would undergo the usual treatment but while he still could continue with the show as co host the cancer was kept secret from anyone save a handful of individuals me included in time even joey s eye was already being affected by the disease that he had to wear an eye patch but wonder of wonders and with much credit to joey s bravery he even joked about it and carried on with the show then after almost a year since discovery of the disease joey went into a coma and died what to do at the time our friend eddie mercado was going great guns as emcee of beauty contests both localand international and we approached him to take over no hesitation the next week s show when joey was bedridden already eddie took over and did terrifically however as is the case with viewership behavior the interests began to waver after a while and two for the road was no exception so it was pulled out for a respite then after a year it came back in a new format a weekly show featuring nestor torre as co host of elvira it no longer had the personality of a late night talk show pete and i went a long way in terms of relationships went far even before the show first was that pete took up a radio course towards a bachelor s degree at the far eastern university the department was headed by my mother sarah k joaquin who had the distinction of heading the first radio department in the country that offered b a degree in radio broadcasting in fact the department was instrumental in pursuing a weekly program feu on the air produced by students and aired through dzbb which was then owned and managed by an ex american gi bob stewart among pete s fellow radio grads included eddie ilarde frankie evangelista and ray pedroche who all did very well in the world of radio and television pete roa was not only a man who did what he believed in sometimes a bit controversial for his own good but after he suffered the stroke he strengthened his own philosophy which could be summed up thus i might as well make the mo st of what i can enjoy under this condition and pray for the blessings of the almighty posted by the joaquins 11 26 am 3 comments sunday august 5 2007 a wedding anniversary 48 years we first met in a classroom back in the late fifties the school was called far

i had several sections to handle each day and at the time with seven other fellow instuctors we had our hands full for we had to serve all the institutes thanks to our department head she won her battle with the school authorities to require all feu students to pass at least one semester of speech i prior to graduation then it happened while i was carefully handling the oral drills of the class i spotted her at the very last row of a class of 25 students busy doing something i tried to continue but was unavoidably distracted that i had to stop my lecture completly mendoza i gently
