Filipino Canadian stories that touch on the theme of reunion thus ring true. As of 2021, Canada is home to nearly one million Filipinos who toil as caregivers in places as disparate as Toronto and Osoyoos Austria-Bonifacio’s novel tells eight loosely connected stories Interspersed with first-person narratives are chapters that embrace a stylistic playfulness: one is a snarky instruction manual from a departing caregiver while another takes the form of an increasingly hostile email thread between two sisters the elder of whom is planning to relocate her twin daughters from Manila to Nunavut The most unexpected tale is a trip through the musical history of the Philippines A once beloved singer in the province of Batangas is irritated by the arrival of his family who are visiting from Winnipeg and Regina to celebrate his birthday He dislikes his adult children for forgetting their homeland and for giving his Canadian-born grandkids — whom he is meeting for the first time — western names like Clark and Britney rather than “Filipino names that withstood colonization.” Stories produced by Asian Canadian artists frequently centre on immigrants trying to balance the culture of their new home with the traditions of their previous one It’s not often we’re shown the vantage points of those who are left behind anecdotes and mementoes that are no longer passed down and the customs now deemed irrelevant by the young Want to read more from Broadview?

reais (US$1.3 million) in neatly packed bills The detainees told police they worked for G.A.S Consulting & Technology a cryptocurrency investment firm founded by a former waiter-turned-multimillionaire who is the central figure in what is alleged to be one of Brazil’s biggest-ever pyramid schemes Police say the company owned by 38-year-old Glaidson Acácio dos Santos had total transactions worth at least US$7 billion (US$38 billion reais) from 2015 through mid-2021 as part of a bitcoin-based Ponzi scheme that promised investors 10 per cent monthly returns In hundreds of pages of documents obtained by The Associated Press federal and state police and prosecutors accuse dos Santos of running a sophisticated racket defrauding thousands of small-scale investors who believed they were getting rich off bitcoin’s steep appreciation He is now in a Rio jail awaiting trial on charges including racketeering financial crimes and ordering the murder and attempted murder of two business competitors He remains under investigation in the attempted murder of a third competitor Dos Santos has repeatedly asserted his innocence His lawyers didn’t reply to AP requests for comment dos Santos represents an unlikely hero to supporters Many view him as a modest Black man whose unorthodox bitcoin business made them wealthy by gaming a financial system they believe is rigged by wealthy white elites The case also underscores the fast-growing appetite for cryptocurrencies in Brazil where years of economic and political crises have made digital currencies an attractive shield against depreciation of the Brazilian real and double-digit inflation A wave of cryptocurrency-related violence followed Cabo Frio came to be known as the ‘New Egypt’ dos Santos was dubbed the ‘Bitcoin Pharaoh’ Police say dos Santos began trading in bitcoin in 2014 after leaving his job as a waiter He enlisted clients from the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God promising referral fees to those who brought in fresh recruits the Universal Church accused dos Santos of “harassing and recruiting” pastors and their flocks to join his company dos Santos was making serious money – and attracting authorities’ attention That year his company’s transactions totalled 10 million reais (US$1.8 million) The country’s financial intelligence unit also noticed the company – registered as a restaurant – was regularly trading cryptocurrency on online exchange platforms Prosecutors say the alleged scheme worked like this: Clients deposited their money into bank accounts run by managing partners The money was then transferred to dos Santos or his Venezuelan wife buy bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies as well as traditional financial assets Clients were promised a 10 per cent monthly return on their investments over 12 to 48-month contracts but did not own the bitcoins they were told G.A.S bought with their money it was risk-free: They would get their entire initial investment back at the end of the contract dos Santos was fast becoming a celebrity in Cabo Frio he’d win,” said Gilson Silva do Carmo The chubby young man in thick-rimmed glasses was also gaining a taste for the high life buying expensive jewellery and a swanky apartment as contracts poured in from elsewhere in Latin America Brazil’s lenient laws regulating cryptocurrency helped fuel dos Santos’ rise Brazil’s securities regulator was making cryptocurrency more attractive: It authorised the country’s investment funds to invest in digital currencies in 2018 Brazil approved bitcoin exchange-traded funds only the second country in the world to do so where residents saw neighbours reap rewards by investing their life savings in G.A.S After his therapist told him he sold his house to invest in G.A.S and had been receiving 10 per cent monthly returns for a year do Carmo invested just over half his retirement fund dos Santos’ success inspired others: Some competitors promised even higher returns – 20 per cent or more a month he discussed with associates how rivals were encroaching on his turf according to WhatsApp messages intercepted by federal police Police accuse dos Santos of ordering the hit Rio state police also linked two attempted killings to dos Santos a trader was shot while driving his BMW through Cabo Frio Three months later another firm’s operator was targeted Things came to a head on April 28 when Rio police seized the 7 million reais at the helipad of the Insolito Boutique Hotel outside Cabo Frio A months-long investigation into dos Santos’ business followed federal police raided more than a dozen locations linked to G.A.S including dos Santos’ home where he was found with 13.8 million reais (US$2.5 million) and arrested Agents also found hard drives containing 10 times that amount in bitcoin who left the country weeks before the raid and is believed to be in Florida They say she withdrew more than 4,300 bitcoins worth US$185 million (1 billion reais) Do Carmo watched in horror; he had invested the rest of his savings in the company just weeks earlier “You watch everything you fought for your entire life wash away from one moment to the next.” Brazilian law enforcement is still trying to uncover the true size of dos Santos’ empire Prosecutors have identified at least 27,000 victims in at least 13 Brazilian states and seven other countries “It’s hard to have a conversation with anyone in Cabo Frio who doesn’t know someone who invested,” he said View the discussion thread.

end In what may be considered a significant celebration of Philippine arts and history the León Gallery in Makati City has put together a year-end auction block featuring insanely chronicled lots concurrent with the nation's observance of Bonifacio Day.  Jose Rizal’s artistic impression of a slumbered Josephine Bracken alongside the last surviving Katipunan seal and a National Artist-made Andres Bonifacio bust will headline León Gallery’s Kingly Treasures Auction happening on the 30th of November.  Bannering the Kingly Treasures Auction is Sello del Katipunan the last surviving seal of the revolutionary organization founded and led by Andres Bonifacio– the life and legacy of whom the country is celebrating on auction day What is ‘Sello del Katipunan,’ and why is it important Consider it the last living tangible proof of the secret society's intel-sharing mechanisms and one of its figurative givers of legitimacy the Katipunan Seal gives the present a glimpse of how critical information was conveyed during the revolution “It is an important testament to the legacy of Andres Bonifacio as the Father of the Himagsikan so even after namatay na siya tuloy-tuloy pa rin ang Katipunan Tuloy ang laban,” shared Lisa Guerrero Nakpil a noted public historian and a curator at the León Gallery It is a relatively small seal– three inches long from the head to its handle –with a brass metal stamp head engraved with two sets of words: “Mataas na Sanggunian,” and “Katipunan ng Mga Anak ng Bayan” separated by two 5-pointed stars.  At the Seal’s center is a sun surrounded by finely detailed rays that house an ancient Tagalog symbol for Ka denotes ‘Katipunan’ and ‘Kalayaan.’  The round stamp is attached to a solid wooden handle that features softly chiseled curves for a narrow body and wide base– almost shaped like a chess piece.  a gift by Katipunan leader Julio Nakpil to Filipino scholar and politician Trinidad Pardo de Tavera features a design that is both uniquely simple and simply unique crafted possibly with the deliberate intent of making it handy Low-key without compromising a level of intricacy that matched the organization’s status.   “The Nakpil family were jewelers eh– marurunong sila mag-cast And of course it has to be small para madadala lang nila sa pocket maitatago… You cannot just manufacture that and pinong-pino yung lines,” explained Guerrero Nakpil in an interview with GMA Regional TV News How did Leon Gallery get their hands on this relic who acquired the seal as a gift from Julio Nakpil decided to have the historical item up for auction at the most trusted auction house in the Philippines.  “The heirs of Trinidad Pardo de Tavera– they were the ones who approached us and offered to put this lot up for auction,” León Gallery owner and director Jaime Ponce de Leon told GMA RTV News The Katipunan seal starts with a bidding price of P1.6 million.  Even the astoundingly genius mind of Jose Rizal could not escape the arbitrary hooks of love And hooked Rizal got when he met in Dapitan his Ultima Amor Josephine L the subject of the treasured sculpture that co-headlines the November 30 auction event.  What is ‘Josephine Sleeping,’ and why is it important The sculpture is the ultimate love of Jose Rizal’s life in the form of a delicately sculpted plaster in Paris made small only in scale but not in its value to the enduring legacy of the nation’s ‘First Filipino.’  “Pwede natin matawag itong– if Da Vinci has Mona Lisa Josephine Bracken is the Mona Lisa to Rizal this is of such importance to Rizal as an artist,” said Ponce de Leon.  “Josephine Sleeping” is Rizal's 6x24x7-centimeter depiction of his beloved while in a beautiful slumber– a priceless fragment of Rizal’s clever imagination carved out of passion for Bracken and chiseled in boredom during his exile in Dapitan Making it even more special is Rizal’s engraved signature at its bottom left just below where the torso of a dreaming Bracken rests.  “Josephine Sleeping” is a clear testament to the National Hero's unparalleled brilliance in the many forms of artistry that he was into The family of Jose Rizal’s sister Narcisa has decided it is time to put up for auction one of the his last sculptural works having worked with the family of Narcisa before is the primary reason behind the mutual trust and confidence when it comes to monumental pieces like this.  we already have a relationship with the family of Narcisa Rizal because this is the third sculpture we are selling for the family: the first was the lechon tray and now the most important one is Josephine Bracken,” he noted.  The "Josephine Sleeping" lot starts with a bidding price of P7 million.  The Kingly Treasures Auction will start at 2:00 p.m on November 30 at

falls on the birth anniversary of Andres Bonifacio whose 153rd birth anniversary we are observing today Relatively recent evidence effectively debunks the myth of the “unlettered” Katipunan Supremo – a demolition job obviously perpetrated by political detractors (Remember the myth about syphilis being the cause of Apolinario Mabini’s paralysis?) La Salle history professor Michael “Xiao” Chua concedes that Andres Bonifacio attended the private school of Guillermo Osmena and attained the present day equivalent of second year high school or Grade 8 under the K-12 curriculum But Bonifacio made up for his incomplete formal education by reading a lot Bonifacio (like Ninoy Aquino and the late Blas Ople) was a voracious reader proprietor of a mosaic tile factory where Bonifacio used to work as a warehouse keeper recalled her impression of Bonifacio whom she often saw with open book in hand during lunch time When hostilities broke out between the Katipuneros and the Spaniards the authorities raided the offices where Bonifacio worked or used to work where Bonifacio worked as warehouseman and later as sales agent the raiding authorities seized the following books among Bonifacio’s personal effects: Jose Rizal’s “Noli Me Tangere” and “El Filibusterismo.” During that time mere possession of these two books was enough to land anybody in jail Also among the “subversive books” were “History of the French Revolution” and “The Ruins of Palmyra: Meditations of the Revolution of the Empire.” Also probably considered “subversive” was “Lives of the Presidents of the United States” because of the role of George Washington in the American Revolution A member of the Freemasons (then considered an enemy of the Catholic Church) Bonifacio also read the Holy Bible and “Religion Within the Reach of All.” He also read books on law (international law Who among his political detractors could have claimed that they read even half as many of the books which Bonifacio read He wrote “Pag-ibig sa Tinubuang Lupa” a 28-stanza piece which National Artist Virgilio Almario describes as “excellent.” A shortened version of the poem became the lyrics of a song (melody composed by ex-political detainee Luis Jorque) which became very popular during the martial law period Bonifacio also wrote essays like “Ang Dapat Mabatid ng Mga Tagalog (What the Filipinos Should Know)” and “Tapunan ng Lingap (Care a Little).” Rizal got hooked into the reading habit after his mother read to him the story about the moth and the flame Bonifacio and Rizal – two great Filipinos with a common passion: Reading © 2025 JNews - Premium WordPress news & magazine theme by Jegtheme © 2025 JNews - Premium WordPress news & magazine theme by Jegtheme.
