En cas de mauvaise foi, sa mauvaise manière, mon cheri. Voici une lettre sur le net pour M. Henry Sy, de la liste Forbes renommée. Modèle terrible pour un SM entreprise dynamique.

Lettre Ouverte à M. Henry Sy et héritiers 

31 octobre 2013

Monsieur Henry Sy, 

Le fonctionnement du conglomérat d'affaires de SM Shoemart , Banco de Oro, la gestion des ports SM et la société de transport par ferry , SM Development Corporation et les sociétés de marketing de biens immobiliers , y compris la nouvelle marque Grande Belle dans l'industrie du jeu et de divertissement sont une vitrine pour une dynamique grandir et d'évoluer modèle d'affaires.

This is the original letter from the aggrieved party:

Open Letter to Mr. Henry Sy and heirs

Dear Mr. Henry Sy,

The operation of the business conglomerate of SM Shoemart, Banco de Oro, the SM port management and ferry transport company, SM Development Corporation and real estate marketing companies, including the new Grande Belle brand in the gambling and entertainment industry are a showcase for a dynamically growing and evolving business template.

In the whole of Southeast and other parts of Asia where the SM business brand has operated, the group of companies has met only with success. Such success has carved a niche for Mr. Henry Sy in the upper echelon of the small community of billionaires.

In 1983, the Wei Wan Yan food packaging concept was formed and the Credence paper  and other school and office products line brand was born. In the immediate period, the marketing campaign concept for a multi-products line Bonus was accorded copyright ownership by the Philippine Government.

The owner of the brands shall now fully use the Wei wan yan, Credence and Bonus trade names as its own right. It is a well known fact that the SM Shoemart group of companies, particularly its merchandising arm, SM Supermart and SM Hypermarket, along with Save More and other allied marketing-retailing companies are using the Bonus trademark.

What propelled the company of Mr. Henry Sy to use the name Bonus that is rightfully owned by others is not known. However, there is a limit to the use of proprietary items like brand names as defined in both the laws of countries and in the Geneva Convention for the protection of intellectual property. In this, it is fitting that the company of Mr. Henry Sy should therefore stop  using the brand Bonus or make amends in the unlawful use of the brand whose copyright belongs to some other party.

The owners of the Bonus brand are prepared to accept a decent and reasonable offer of peaceful and amicable amends from the side of the illegal, unlawful infringers of its intellectual property.

Bonus brand copyright

The SM people are known to never accept they are wrong, much more to negotiate in any kind of good faith whatsoever. At times, they will pull big guns on you. If you die, sorry. It is hoped they will have a different position in this issue since it will spell bad image and negative public relations all over the world - not only in the Philippines.

Big problems for a President

This article is lifted from the site Girbaudz's Universe in blogger.com:

The Philippine budget for 2014 is 2.26 Trillion. The preceding year 2013's budget, is 2.06 Trillion. The DAP government expenditure is only reported to be 50 Million - a pittance. But what is surprising is the revelation in an internet site that Ms. Leilia De Lima is the lawyer of Napoles. At least she used to be the lawyer of that fat lady.

This is abhorring, to say the least. The initial public reception of the impeachment of Chief Justice Renato Coronado Corona and the recent expose against Senators Enrile, Estrada and Revilla was that the government was pursuing the straight path, matuwid na daan as it is called.

But it was found out that Mr. Aquino was an imbecile enough to pay out 50 Million pesos each to the Congressmen and about double that to the Senators just to impeach Corona. And now it came out that Aquino, De Lima and Napoles are no strangers at all. De Lima, the lawyer of that blob and Aquino, De Lima's boss pulling the puppet strings. So what happens now?

Again it was reported in the same internet site that these issues will be diverted. Aquino, De Lima and whoever else tagging at the butt of the big man from the palace, will create scenarios that will swing public attention towards other supposedly delicious, truly newsworthy items. But satisfying the hunger for scoops is not the only be-all of journalism. Lying over and over through their mouth pieces inside the public sector and the private media organizations in the way Goebbels did for Hitler will not necessarily sway people's attention that fast anymore. This is not the World War II era any longer.

Furthermore, for the sake of nation building and patrimony, if what Omnibus Blog says is true, the act of this government of fault-finding, witch hunt, and other Inquisition type acts, in a despairing world full of social concerns such as poverty, hunger, shortages, high oil prices, rising criminality, bespeaks of a highly deranged kind of governance. Especially so that the high-and-mighty attitude of being holier than the rest of the world is coupled with large scale ransacking of wealth of this country.

This really has got to stop and people, all you people out there, it is time, I think to be more angry, to nourish more hot emotions and hit this government with whatever little we've got. The collective effect of our small assaults will certainly give this corrupt government a big start.

Start small and start today. Remember, we have a lot to gain.

They did not teach them well

Sometimes you have to give in to teachers. They mean as much to us as our parents. When we fail to give our teachers the respect they are due, it's just like cursing and not honoring our parents who deserve our true love and devotion.

The media spitfires creating war vs. Enrile, Revilla, Estrada of the Senate were not taught well. The lawyer of Napoles who helped plan all the media campaigns including her own fat burning exposure over the kleig lights of national television and what else, were not taught well. Perhaps, they never intended to go to school to show respect for knowledge, for information, for intelligence, intellect, wisdom and love for letters.

Its too late for that now. At first their initial salvos were good. Pitch high, pitch low, all fouls on the enemy front. Then the shit hits the fan, the DAP gets discovered, the Malampaya fund being lost as Abad said in his letter to Senate was exposed by Recto, Luy was not kidnapped, and on and on the media spins became major record breaking blunders one after another.

They have made their grievous stand and they lost. All those hundreds of millions for their campaign lost in the game where the shit manicured ball landed on the face of another teacher disrespecting animal, mr. bespectacled, girl-chasing, often-staring-at-at-nothing you-know-who.

Really their teachers didn't teach them well. And that's funny because these brats wouldn't really want to be taught good morals and right conduct in the first place. That's why they're bringing our country into ruin.

Say Wonderful? Scary websites

Pockets of light

In the year that passed, it was foretold that disasters will visit upon the planet. At the time, the Philippines was still reeling from the impact of the huge calamity Ondoy.

This year, everyone was shocked at the Christchurch temblor, the even bigger tremor in Chile, Haiti, flooding in China and fairly recently the gigantic earthquake and tidal wave – tsunami – in Japan that destroyed the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant, as well as the tremendous flooding in the Philippines, Thailand, among so many other natural and man-made catastrophes.

Then came economic systems collapsing and governments wobbling. Still and all, a number of people following the events around the world know that there is something good in the change of regimes in Europe brought about by the EuroZone Crisis. A group calling themselves the Occupy Wall Street Movement see this as one small step forward if warily. Seers have also predicted these things before the onset of 2011.

I can say as much for the Arab Spring – extending to as far as several nations in Africa – that it has also made many jubilant and triumphant, happy and mollified. The past year’s forecast also included the tumbling of governments one after another and conflicts arising all over the world. Indeed, 2011 has proven to be a regime change year. Luckily for some regimes, change did not happen when the national leadership changed their tack and started dealing with the problems that beset their people.

If the fates and fortunes are to be believed, I imagine that the pre-ordained configuration of the natural order in 2011 may have had a large effect upon the festering problem between management and workers over industry-labor relations. A brief rundown of current labor disputes involve companies such as PowerTech, ABS CBN Broadcasting, GMA Network Inc., Meralco, PLDT, Philippine Air Lines and many such other companies affected by cases now filed at the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) and the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) as well as with other higher judicial bodies such as The Honorable, The Court of Appeals and The Honorable, The Supreme Court of the Philippines. (The employees’ union at Philippine Air Lines – PAL – for instance is now waging a battle with its employer right up to the highest court in the land. With it is the Flight Attendants and Stewards Association of the Philippines or FASAP backed by the Partido Manggagawa, Bukluran ng Manggagawang Pilipino, Alliance of Philippine Labor and Sanlakas -- among other allied groups.)

Whatever the other, less perceivable reasons for these developments in the globe today, there are positive signs that we take note of:

• Emergence of Conflicts highlighted the need to address hitherto neglected questions and issues.
• People embracing measures, both mellow and drastic, to resolve long due issues.
• Governments bending backwards to sincerely respond to the needs of their people.
• Regime change in certain cases will provide a new playing field where it is hoped the will of the greater number will soon be given more weight and import.

All in all, with all these things taking place, there is an incipient possibility of better harmony and cooperation between and among supposed antagonists in the coming period.
That is certainly very much hoped and prayed for. As the yuletide season approaches each of those involved in these bitter disputes can look toward little pockets of light at the end of their dark, miserable tunnels and possibly find better, more meaningful ways of resolving their wars and troubles.

Master salesmen and specialist negotiators will never tire to tell you during sales or negotiations seminars that: “Out there in the real world, there are more than one thousand deals that await to be closed by you!”

Maybe it is time for us to work towards trying to close, any one peace pact out of thousands of peaceful settlements that are waiting to be sealed each day in this planet.
