PLEASE APOLOGIZE

BOUNDARIES came to the fore last week when Broadway star Leah Salonga called out some of those in the audience of the musical “Here Lies Love” who barged into her dressing room and insisted on having a selfie with her.

Salonga was peeved and told them, "I’m not the type to cuss people out, but I will protect my territory and my boundaries. If I lose fans as a result, so be it," she said.

Lea added: "Unless you are on the guest list, we cannot have you back here. So, you have to go to the door. I'm sorry because if I allow this now, then other people are gonna take advantage of this.”

One of those who was called out -- the same one who uploaded the video supposedly to show how Lea was rude -- said he will not apologize.

He said he did not do anything wrong.

Typical Pinoy reaction, we might say. Some in showbiz actually sided with the uploader, saying Lea should not have been too direct.

But someone should have told the snowflake and his defenders, Broadway is not Pinas. We may all be Pinoys but that is a foreign place and some rules must be followed.

They should be thankful there were no burly bodyguards who would have thrown them out.

So what does this have to do with us? And why are we writing about this?

Because this reminds us of an incident that happened here a few days ago.

The mayor of San Antonio, Texas came over to the city to formalize our sister-city relationship.

We all know San Antonio! They got first dibs on the NBA draft and they got wunderkind Victor Wembanyama who is said to be the best draftee since Lebron James.

If that turns out to be true then that means we have the whole Baguio City shifting their allegiance to San Antonio. From what we heard, former UB coach Caloy Manzanillo’s son is still with the Spurs press machinery, so big Baguio connection there.

The San Antonio team was led by Mayor Ronald Niremberg who is part Pinoy. His father is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. This will be important in our story later.

The PR story sent us did not mention this about Niremberg, but it is so easy to get info about him. Hello, Google!

So to forge the sister city link, there was a farewell party held at, where else, Lone Star Cafe at John Hay.

Inspiring idea, you might say. But the lack of research was awful.

The city held a closing ceremony with a Cordillera twist. As in the twist of a knife that they used to kill a black pig.

They made Mayor Niremberg stand in front of the ritual slaughter called owik.

The owik is meant to vocalize the blessings for Niremberg’s party but then we all know that the vocalization would be done by the pig being pierced with a wooden stake. According to the people who witnessed the event, the pig fought for its life and it took a long while before it died. Of course, blood was bursting.

Well, we opened our new Lonely Planet Guide to the Philippines with the Mayon Volcano cover and looked for the entries on Baguio.

Nope, we didn’t see anything about owik to welcome Baguio guests.

So Team Niremberg was unprepared. And didn’t we tell you that the mayor is Jewish? Blood spurting is definitely not kosher. Similar to the halal, blood is just not allowed in their food.

This is what Google said: “Jews will eat only meat or poultry that is certified kosher. The meat must have been slaughtered by a shochet (ritual slaughterer) by Jewish law and is entirely drained of blood.”

You are trying to be a sister city with San Antonio and you didn’t know this? A simple check would have avoided this thing. Even simple trips would require a checklist of what not to eat and what not to do. You did something culturally risque and you never bothered to research?

Niremberg was traumatized and had to be escorted out of the stage of Lone Star Cafe.

Unlike Salonga’s stalker, the mayor is no snowflake.

What he saw was really horrendous.

Now will Baguio apologize?

Definitely. This is a case of breaching boundaries. Shame on you, whoever thought of this gimmick. Please apologize.

The principle behind the concept of "hit first, hit last" in martial arts is rooted in the idea of preemptive action and strategic timing. It emphasizes the importance of initiating an attack or counterattack swiftly and decisively, aiming to gain an advantage over the opponent by landing the first effective strike while maintaining control until the confrontation concludes.

The principle can be applied in various scenarios, such as self-defense situations or competitive martial arts bouts. Here are the key aspects that define the principle of "hit first, hit last":

Initiative: By striking first, you take control of the encounter and set the pace of the confrontation. Initiating the attack can catch your opponent off guard, disrupt their plans, and create opportunities for follow-up techniques.

Surprise and Disruption: The element of surprise plays a crucial role in the "hit first" aspect. By catching your opponent off guard, you increase the chances of landing a successful strike and potentially incapacitating or disabling them. This initial strike aims to disrupt their focus, balance, and ability to mount an effective defense.

Effective Technique: The principle emphasizes the importance of executing a well-trained, precise, and powerful technique as the first strike. It could be a punch, kick, knee strike, or any other suitable technique, depending on the martial art style being practiced. The strike should be delivered with maximum efficiency and target the opponent's vulnerable areas to maximize its impact.

Control and Follow-up: The "hit last" part of the principle emphasizes maintaining control throughout the encounter until its conclusion. Even if the initial strike is successful, it is crucial to follow up with additional techniques to neutralize any counterattacks and ensure the opponent's ability to continue fighting is diminished. This can involve combinations of strikes, joint locks, throws, or other grappling techniques to maintain control and secure victory.

Timing and Awareness: The concept of "hit first, hit last" requires careful timing and situational awareness. It involves assessing the opponent's movements, intentions, and vulnerabilities to strike at the most opportune moment. By observing and understanding your opponent's actions, you can exploit their weaknesses and execute a well-timed attack, ensuring that you maintain the advantage throughout the encounter.

It is important to note that the principle of "hit first, hit last" should be applied responsibly and in line with the principles of self-defense or the rules of a specific martial arts discipline. Respect for one's training partners, opponents, and the ethical aspects of martial arts should always be upheld.
