I was invited by Atty. Faelnar, one of the SOLFED advocates, to attend a forum "Towards a Philippine Parliamentary Democracy" yesterday at the shangri-la, Makati. The event was sponsored by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAF).
Panel of speakers are: Atty, Bernard uc, Dean Froilan Bacungan, Dr. Jose Abueva, Ambassador Jose V. Romero, Jr., and Mrs. Marietta Primicias Goco. Panels of reactors include Sec. Amado Luis Lagdameo, Jr. and Sec Camilo Sabio.
House Speaker JDV dropped in and delivered his luncheon address briefly. I had a chance to introduce myself to him as a member of the Ulupan na Pansiansia'y Salitan Pangasinan and DILA :)
On the other hand, here's an example of the etymology and history of my first name:
SANTIAGO m Spanish
Means "Saint James", derived from Spanish santo "saint" combined with Iago, an old Spanish form of JAMES, the patron saint of Spain. Cities in Chile and Spain bear this name.
JAMES m English, Biblical
Pronounced: JAYMZ
English form of the Late Latin Jacomus which was derived from Iakobos, the New Testament Greek form of Ya'aqob (see JACOB). In the New Testament James is an important apostle, the brother of the apostle John. According to the Book of Acts he was beheaded by Herod Agrippa. Another James is also mentioned in the Bible as being the brother of Jesus. Kings of England and Scotland have borne this name. Other famous bearers include the inventor of the steam engine James Watt, the explorer Captain James Cook, and the novelist and poet James Joyce.
JACOB m English, Dutch, Scandinavian
Pronounced: JAY-kub
From the Latin Jacobus, which was from the Greek Iakobos, which was from the Hebrew name Ya'aqob which meant "holder of the heel" or "supplanter". The biblical Jacob (later called Israel) was born holding his twin brother Esau's heel. He was the son of Isaac and Rebecca and the father of the twelve founders of the twelve tribes of Israel. A famous bearer of this name was Jacob Grimm, the German linguist and writer who was, with his brother Wilhelm, the author of 'Grimm's Fairy Tales'.
