Di kayo dapat late. 

Alam ito ng sinumang nakatrabaho na si Virgilio S. Almario aka Rio Alma, National Artist for Literature. Sa klase, meeting, o saanmang event, hindi mo maiiwasang mahiya kapag na-late ka dahil tiyak na maaga siyang dumating.

Matandang salita para sa “ginto” sa Hiligaynon, Sebwano, Bikolano, at Tagalog ang “bulawan.” Patunay na may sariling kaalaman na ang ating mga ninuno sa paglinang ng ginto noon pa. Isa rin ito sa mga turo sa amin ni Sir Rio — ang lumingon sa ating nagdaan para mapakinabangan sa kasalukuyan ang dunong ng ating mga ninuno. Kahit sa salita ka muna magsimula. 

Balik sa pagiging late. Nakita ko na kung paano niya punahin ang mga táong nahuhulí sa mga meeting. Kung paano nagbabago rin ang mga tao para matiyak na makarating sila sa tamang oras kapag makikipagkita sa kaniya. Para hindi na sila kabitan ng “the late” sa kanilang pangalan na pang-asar ng mga kasama. 

Dati rin kasi, “the late RR Cagalingan” ako madalas. Sa isang pulong, halos 30 minuto akong late, kayâ parang wala akong mukhang maiharap sa kaniya at sa mga ibang ka-meeting noon. Natauhan ako. Kayâ masasabi kong isa sa mga dahilan ang pulong na iyon kung bakit ako nagsimulang magmotor. Para hindi na ma-late. 

At ano naman ang matututuhan mo pa sa pagpapahalaga niya sa panahon? Napakaraming bulawang bagay. 

Pagbibigay ito ng paggalang sa panahon ng iba. Hindi dahilan ang trapik o anumang pinagdaanan mo dahil isinasaalang-alang mo kasi dapat ang ginawang konsiderasyon rin sa oras ng iyong katatagpuin.  

Sa sarili naman, ‘pag iginagalang mo ang sariling panahon, nagbubukas ito sa iyo ng espasyo para sa pagninilay at pagpapakahusay. Napakaraming bagay na dapat alamin tungkol sa ating nagdaan: ang panitikan, kultura, kasaysayan, at iba pa. Ang mga puwang o gap na ito ang dapat na pinaglalaanan ng panahon para pag-aralan. Maaari rin itong punan gamit ang ating haraya o imagination. 

Sabi niya naman sa pagtula, kung nais mo talagang makasulat, dapat maglaan ka ng isang oras kada araw. Mahirap, pero bahagi rin ito ng pakikipagkasundo sa panahon. Biruin mo kung gaano katagal na niya ito ginagawa. Ang disiplinang umupo at maglaan ng oras para sa isusulat ang mananaig sa anumang writer’s block. Hindi mo kailangan ng inspirasyon o musa para sumulat. Kailangan mo lang umupo.  

Pero ngayon nakikita ko na ang marangal niyang paglaban sa panahon. Tumatanda na rin ang aming guro. At, sabi nga nila, walang makatatalo sa panahon. Pero ngayon, nagpapasalamat pa rin ako sa patuloy na pagkatuto mula sa kaniya. Sa biyaya ng kaniyang harayang mababakas sa pinakabagong tula o sipat sa mga pangyayari sa Filipinas (na nasa Facebook page niya o sa pinakabagong libro). At di pa kasama riyan ang marami na niyang isinulat at ang daigdig ng teksto na dapat pa nating basahin at paglimian.

Kukulangin tayong lahat sa panahon, pero ganoon naman talaga ang búhay. Sa huli, nagpapasalamat ako sa kaniyang halimbawa. Sa hindi pagdadamot ng panahon sa mga makatang nais matuto, sa mga iskolar na nais pang ayusin ang kanilang Tinging Filipino, sa mga guro na nais pang magpakahusay sa paghubog ng mga anak ng bayan, o sa sinumang may pakialam sa ating minamahal na Filipinas.

Maligayang kaarawan po, Sir Rio. Di po sana ako mahulí sa susunod na pagkikita. Kung mahuli man, sasambitin na lang: bulawan, bulawan, bulawan. – Rappler.com

Sumusulat si Roy Rene S. Cagalingan ng mga tula at sanaysay. Kasapi siya ng Linangan sa Imahen, Retorika, at Anyo (LIRA). Isa siyang manggagawang pangkultura.

Unprecedented Surge: Gold Price Hits Astounding New Record High

Unprecedented Surge: Gold Price Hits Astounding New Record High

BitcoinWorld Unprecedented Surge: Gold Price Hits Astounding New Record High While the world often buzzes with the latest movements in Bitcoin and altcoins, a traditional asset has quietly but powerfully commanded attention: gold. This week, the gold price has once again made headlines, touching an astounding new record high of $3,704 per ounce. This significant milestone reminds investors, both traditional and those deep in the crypto space, of gold’s enduring appeal as a store of value and a hedge against uncertainty. What’s Driving the Record Gold Price Surge? The recent ascent of the gold price to unprecedented levels is not a random event. Several powerful macroeconomic forces are converging, creating a perfect storm for the precious metal. Geopolitical Tensions: Escalating conflicts and global instability often drive investors towards safe-haven assets. Gold, with its long history of retaining value during crises, becomes a preferred choice. Inflation Concerns: Persistent inflation in major economies erodes the purchasing power of fiat currencies. Consequently, investors seek assets like gold that historically maintain their value against rising prices. Central Bank Policies: Many central banks globally are accumulating gold at a significant pace. This institutional demand provides a strong underlying support for the gold price. Furthermore, expectations around interest rate cuts in the future also make non-yielding assets like gold more attractive. These factors collectively paint a picture of a cautious market, where investors are looking for stability amidst a turbulent economic landscape. Understanding Gold’s Appeal in Today’s Market For centuries, gold has held a unique position in the financial world. Its latest record-breaking performance reinforces its status as a critical component of a diversified portfolio. Gold offers a tangible asset that is not subject to the same digital vulnerabilities or regulatory shifts that can impact cryptocurrencies. While digital assets offer exciting growth potential, gold provides a foundational stability that appeals to a broad spectrum of investors. Moreover, the finite supply of gold, much like Bitcoin’s capped supply, contributes to its perceived value. The current market environment, characterized by economic uncertainty and fluctuating currency values, only amplifies gold’s intrinsic benefits. It serves as a reliable hedge when other asset classes, including stocks and sometimes even crypto, face downward pressure. How Does This Record Gold Price Impact Investors? A soaring gold price naturally raises questions for investors. For those who already hold gold, this represents a significant validation of their investment strategy. For others, it might spark renewed interest in this ancient asset. Benefits for Investors: Portfolio Diversification: Gold often moves independently of other asset classes, offering crucial diversification benefits. Wealth Preservation: It acts as a robust store of value, protecting wealth against inflation and economic downturns. Liquidity: Gold markets are highly liquid, allowing for relatively easy buying and selling. Challenges and Considerations: Opportunity Cost: Investing in gold means capital is not allocated to potentially higher-growth assets like equities or certain cryptocurrencies. Volatility: While often seen as stable, gold prices can still experience significant fluctuations, as evidenced by its rapid ascent. Considering the current financial climate, understanding gold’s role can help refine your overall investment approach. Looking Ahead: The Future of the Gold Price What does the future hold for the gold price? While no one can predict market movements with absolute certainty, current trends and expert analyses offer some insights. Continued geopolitical instability and persistent inflationary pressures could sustain demand for gold. Furthermore, if global central banks continue their gold acquisition spree, this could provide a floor for prices. However, a significant easing of inflation or a de-escalation of global conflicts might reduce some of the immediate upward pressure. Investors should remain vigilant, observing global economic indicators and geopolitical developments closely. The ongoing dialogue between traditional finance and the emerging digital asset space also plays a role. As more investors become comfortable with both gold and cryptocurrencies, a nuanced understanding of how these assets complement each other will be crucial for navigating future market cycles. The recent surge in the gold price to a new record high of $3,704 per ounce underscores its enduring significance in the global financial landscape. It serves as a powerful reminder of gold’s role as a safe haven asset, a hedge against inflation, and a vital component for portfolio diversification. While digital assets continue to innovate and capture headlines, gold’s consistent performance during times of uncertainty highlights its timeless value. Whether you are a seasoned investor or new to the market, understanding the drivers behind gold’s ascent is crucial for making informed financial decisions in an ever-evolving world. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Q1: What does a record-high gold price signify for the broader economy? A record-high gold price often indicates underlying economic uncertainty, inflation concerns, and geopolitical instability. Investors tend to flock to gold as a safe haven when they lose confidence in traditional currencies or other asset classes. Q2: How does gold compare to cryptocurrencies as a safe-haven asset? Both gold and some cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin) are often considered safe havens. Gold has a centuries-long history of retaining value during crises, offering tangibility. Cryptocurrencies, while newer, offer decentralization and can be less susceptible to traditional financial system failures, but they also carry higher volatility and regulatory risks. Q3: Should I invest in gold now that its price is at a record high? Investing at a record high requires careful consideration. While the price might continue to climb due to ongoing market conditions, there’s also a risk of a correction. It’s crucial to assess your personal financial goals, risk tolerance, and consider diversifying your portfolio rather than putting all your capital into a single asset. Q4: What are the main factors that influence the gold price? The gold price is primarily influenced by global economic uncertainty, inflation rates, interest rate policies by central banks, the strength of the U.S. dollar, and geopolitical tensions. Demand from jewelers and industrial uses also play a role, but investment and central bank demand are often the biggest drivers. Q5: Is gold still a good hedge against inflation? Historically, gold has proven to be an effective hedge against inflation. When the purchasing power of fiat currencies declines, gold tends to hold its value or even increase, making it an attractive asset for preserving wealth during inflationary periods.
