professional ethics: boundary-setting

 9/11/2022 WORLD TRADE CENTER TERRORIST ATTACK ANNIVERSAY 

i mark this day also as an end to my DEPENDENT PERSONALITY TRAITS as played our in my PROFESSIONAL WORK!!!

i finally learned my lesson to finally say "no!" from this experience. on this SUNDAY, I accommodated two service users:

>ATTEMPTED THEFT. a janitress referred to me her female partner about two day prior, needing psychological attention. the mother came along & took an interest in my small pine tree & wanted to ask permission. i stopped her in mid-sentence, without even knowing which one she was referring to, saying assertively, "no!"

the following day, our own janitress reported to me that the janitress from the adjoining building saw our lady guard pull the small pine tree & was putting it in a flowering pot but was stopped by her, saying that the plant belonged to me.

FURIOUS, i wrote an incident report & submitted it to the supervisor (another story in itself this guy!). i also had the LGBT janitress report to me. from talking to her and the lady guard who greeted me from another building, i verified that indeed, they PLOTTED TO STEAL FROM ME -- AFTER ALL THE SACRIFICE I EXTENDED TO THEM! mga INGRATA!!! what other words can i say about them?! ENOUGH!

>HOOKED BY UTANG NA LOOB. 4 yrs PTC, i evaluated the granddaughter of this lola who is a seamstress & whom i requested to sew me a scrub suit that never materialized. now that she needs me again, she is saying to our RPm & me that i still have a scrub suit with her awaiting delivery. & so, i agreed to her bringing it to me, WITHOUT INFORMING ME (INTENT TO DECEIVE) that she already brought along her granddaughter needing retesting. 

although, i passive-aggressively took my time i realized after releasing them that i needed to still administer the achievement test since she rated only low average in her IQ (vs borderline 4 years ago).

CONSEQUENCE: i was supposed to cram for my first time webinar to an all-girls catholic school but was already EXHAUSTED of my energy... providentially, i was able to bring together my past works to bear on the final presentation that was well appreciated: for parents & their adolescent female children; though, i thought i should have added PARENTING TIPS that i just got from QMSO (hmmmp!)...

antidote to gossip: socrates' 3 seieves

 https://www.wemystic.com/the-three-sieves-of-socrates/#:~:text=The%20three%20sieves%2C%20questioned%20the%20man%2C%20what%20is,Let%E2%80%99s%20examine%20the%20second%3A%20the%20sieve%20of%20Goodness.

1. Truth: Is it true? -- based on first hand experience (personal knowledge)?

2. Is it good?

3. Is it necessary?

he first is the sieve of Truth. Are you sure that what you are going to tell me is true? Have you heard it yourself or watched with your own eyes?

To tell the truth, said the man, after a moment of hesitation, I just overheard it.

The test of the first sieve is not successful, says Socrates. Let’s examine the second: the sieve of Goodness. Will you tell me something good or positive about this man?

On the contrary, said the other, I was going to say bad things about him.

Your words do not pass the second sieve, says Socrates. Let’s use the last sieve. Is it necessary to tell me what you’re so excited about?

No not necessary, the man says.
Well, Socrates says with a smile, if the story you’re about to tell me isn’t true, good or necessary, just forget it and don’t bother me with it.

COMELEC Commissioner Rowena Guanzon declares Presidential Aspirant Marcos Jr. DISQUALIFIED on grounds of MORAL TURPITUDE

https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/01/31/22/read-comelecs-rowena-guanzons-separate-opinion-on-marcos-disqualification-cases

Today, 04 Feb 2022, I shared to family and friends (facebook messenger) the following (caps mine for emphases):

A Prophetess has risen among us, sprung from the sacred halls of the University of the Philippines -- Diliman, who lived up to her Alma Mater motto: "Honor and Excellence" in the person of Retired COMELEC Presiding Commissioner of the First Division, Ma. Rowena Amelia V. Guanzon. 

As baptized Catholics, we are ALL called to share in Christ's three-fold mission of Priest, Prophet, and King. 

"It is enough that good wo/men do nothing for evil to thrive" (Edmund Bruke). "Speak truth to power" (2021 Nobel Peace Prize Awardee Kabayan Maria Ressa).

>"After an assiduous analysis of the parties and the evidence on record, I find the Respondent's (Marcos Jr) repeated and persistent non-filing of ITRs in 1982-1985, which resulted in his CONVICTION, constitutes an offense involving MORAL TURPITUDE" (p. 10).

>"In view of the foregoing, I vote to GRANT the Petitions for DISQUALIFICATION and declare the Respondent Ferdinand R. Marcos II DISQUALIFIED for running for the position of President of the Philippines" (p. 24).

Rowena Guanzon, BS Economics & Law (UP), MPA (Harvard University), youngest PH mayor (at age 28) of Cadiz City, Negros Occidental, former UP law professor and author of several law books

MABUHAY KA ROWENA GUANZON AT ANG IPINAGLALABAN MONG KATOTOHANAN AT KATARUNGAN PARA SA SAMBAYANANG PILIPINO! PROUD TO BE PINOY!

in defense of objective natural law (pope piux XI, 1937)

 Re: Defense of Natural Law in Nazi Germany

Fr: Mit brennender Sorge (With burning concern) "On the Church and the German Reich" -- encyclical by Pope Pius XI drafted by Archbishop Michael von FAULHABER of Munich (who had a one-on-one talk with Hitler in 1935)

 # 29. "... To hand over the MORAL LAY to man's SUBJECTIVE OPINION, which changes at times, instead of anchoring it in the HOLY WILL of the ETERNAL GOD and His commandments, is to open wide every door to the forces of destruction of the ETERNAL PRINCIPLES of an OBJECTIVE MORALITY, which elements CONSCIENCE ennobles every department & organization of life, is a SIN against the destiny of a NATION, a sin whom bitter fruit will poison future generations."

re: "confusion of right and utility"

# 30. "... what is morally indefensible, can never contribute to the GOOD of the people"

-- "Nothing can be USEFUL, if it's not at the same time morally GOOD." (Cicero, De Off. ii. 30).

re: universality of human rights

"... the basic fact that man as a PERSON possesses rights he holds FROM GOD, & which any collectivity must protect against denial, suppression or neglect."

re: right to religious expression

# 31. "The believer has the ABSOLUTE RIGHT to profess his Faith and live according to its dictates. Laws which impede his profession and practice of Faith are against NATURAL LAW."

NB: This is the FIRST TIME HUMAN RIGHTS was explicitly mentioned by a Pople.
