ORPHANS INTERNATIONAL WORLDWIDE - THE PHILIPPINES (OIP) as a brother and sister nongovernmental organization of Orphans International America (OIA) and Orphans International Worldwide (OIWW) in New York aims to "Nurture Free and Responsible Citizens of the World" by, first, inspiring upon worldspeople to care for orphaned children. 

We are all, one time or another in the past, orphaned by our loved ones. But we are more fortunate than the orphaned children. They need our help.

Orphans International America (OIA)'s and Orphans International Worldwide (OIWW) first mandates to Orphans International Philippines (OIP) were to form OIP in Manila and to construct its first orphans' campus in a donated family estate of a Filipino American in New York in the Northern Philippines.

Once done, OIP will accommodate in the orphans campus orphaned Filipino children, orphaned Filipino American children, orphaned children by Japanese, Korean and American soldiers during the infamy that was world war II, orphaned children of the US war in Vietnam, orphaned children by American soldiers who were stationed in US air and naval bases in The Philippines, orphaned children by the unnecessary Muslim versus Christian wars in Mindanao in the Southern Philippines, orphaned children who are being nurtured by OIA and OIWW from Asia and Africa, orphaned children in the unnecessary wars in the Gulf, and others.

But the OIP vision, mission, values and programs of action for the orphaned children and orphaned people of the world will not stop there.    

FOUNDING PILLARS OF OI PHILIPPINES (OIP)

ORPHANS International (OI America) founding CEO Jim Luce (he has got a long Ohioian name like the OIP founder's) asked journalist Emmanuel Mario Santos aka Marc Guerrero in Manila to have the former's firm help the latter's Orphans International's Worldwide advocacy for the orphaned children of the world in and from New York to the world, specially in The Philippines. In no time, the latter asked his closest of physician colleagues, namely Hernando B Delizo, MD and Juan Antonio Perez III, MD to put up OI Philippines as project and partner nation of OIWW.

Marc Guerrero is a writer & journalist, editor & translator, historian & futurist, publisher & producer, and health & business communicator and media management entrepreneur for many years.

Marc Guerrero is the permanent Chief Executive or Executive Director of OIP.

Dr Hernan 'Dok Nan' Delizo, an Internal Medicine physician, specializes in endocrinology, metabolism, geriatrics and diabetes. Founding CEO of Clinica Manila, Mediserv, Wellness Place and Wellcare Clinics, Dr Delizo is described by his colleagues in health entrepreneurship as The Philippines' "first healthcare retailer in the private sector." He is father to two orphaned children and two biological children who he and wife-pediatrician nurture as their very own family of six, with extended families to boot.  

Dok Nan is the first President of OIP.

Dr Jeepy Perez, a general practitioner who specializes in public health administration, had served as counsel to four Health Cabinet Secretaries of four Philippine Presidents.

Dok Jeepy is the first Vice President and Secretary-General of OIP.

With His Highness, Prince Albert of Monaco, son of the late Prince Rainier and American actress Princess Grace Kelly, as Honorary Advisor to OI Worldwide, the Marc Guerrero Founding OIP Board shall be considering Her Excellency, President Corazon Cojuangco Aquino, widow of martyr Benigno 'Ninoy' Aquino Jr and mother to Congressman Benigno 'Noynoy' Aquino III and controversial TV host (and next Senator) Kris Aquino et al  to serve as the first Honorary Chairperson of OIP.  

President Aquino is the living inspiration behind the "political ideal" that was the First Peaceful People Power Revolution of the World in 1986 at EDSA. 

But OIP is apolitical by nature and by origin. OIP is a synergizer of creative and compassionate ideas and ideals.

Long before the '86 EDSA Fiesta Revolt became a byword by the Philippine societies have's and have-not's, Marc Guerrero in his teenaged years had organized provincial youth organization chapters for the national Kabataang Barangay foundation of Ferdinand Marcos's eldest daughter Imee Marcos. Thereafter, he had worked in the early-'80s as "popular technology writer" of the Technology Resource Center (TRC) under Imelda Romualdez Marcos' Ministry of Human Settlements.        

Marc Guerrero, Dr Hernan Delizo and Dr Jeepy Perez comprised the founding brothers of OIP who are tasked to make the hopes, dreams and aspirations of OIWW for OIP for the orphaned children and of the OIP for the orphaned peoples of the world happen, in accord with the following

GENERAL PROGRAMS OF ACTION for 2010 to 2020 

In progress     

{Curriculum vitae of the OIP founders below}

THE PAST, THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE ARE HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME.

On the 6th of September 2005, Orphans International (OI) founder Jim Luce in New York emailed advocacy journalist Marc Guerrero in Manila, out of the blue. Night and day were the big distance between two stangers. The sender said, "Is there a chance that your firm can work with OIWW in its orphans' causes?" Yes was the ready answer from the heart of the oneline message recipient who told the sender: "I have nothing much, Sir... (a few seconds of silence later) but, I think I can do so much for humanity." Questions and answers were exchanged later. Potential working relationships were committed. 
As a lowprofile journalist for more than a couple of decades, Marc Guerrero had thought of organizing the local press and the media in Manila for some worthy causes 12 hours apart, 15,000 miles away.

Some fourteen leaders from various disciplines who are silent workers for causes had been invited to co-found OIP.
 
Two enduring spirits remained with Marc Guerrero to serve as leading lights of OIP. The rest chose to serve as advisors, contributors and supoorters in various capacity.

Hernando B Delizo, MD and Juan Antonio Perez III, MD are committed to help Marc Guerrero in the founding Board to make OIP happen, as Jim Luce and Marc Guerrero had envisioned. Dr Delizo and Dr Perez had been known by Marc Guerrero since yesteryears as writers and journalists first before they became physicians engaged in private health retailership and public health administration, respectively.

Those who signified their resolve to help the Delizo and Perez et al founding OIP Board in various capacity, with OIP founder Marc Guerrero as chief executive or executive director, include but are not limited to, sociologist Celina Cristobal, multiple intelligence education advocate Pilar Habito, historian Dulce Festin-Baybay, airlines man Rolando Estabillo, poet laureate Teo Antonio, entrepreneurs Aiza Redondo and Aiko Oguchi, rehabilitation and sports medicine specialist Dra Malou Fernandez, surgeon Luis Ramon Rodriguez, pediatrician Dra Marissa dela Cruz-Delizo, and a few other Filipino servant leader-citizens of the world with the passion for silent (r)evolutionary works for worthy humanitarian causes and advocacies and who opted to remain anonymous for now.  

The Philippines, however - a would-be First World country back in the Fifties when she competed neck-and-neck with Japan in economic turnaround after the world war two unnecessary devastations - is Third World-ish, by 21st century financial standards. She is not immune to financial crashes in both the rich countries and developing neighbors. The Filipinos, however, kept her two most important commodities: Creativity and Compassion.

Realities of the past couple of years, economically and politically,  in the world and in the Philippine homeland, rendered the slowing down of the desire to move OIP, faster than the speed of light.

In 2007, Marc Guerrero who maintains a press and media interests in the US had thought of organizing and mobilizing the Filipino journalists, artists, photographers, filmmakers, webbies and others in health and business communication in America towards the OIP causes upon inspiration by OI in America and in other countries. They are being organized into a free, responsible and responsive bloc that will emerge as the Filipino American Press Institute which will walk and work with leaders in America for health and wellness - with the children foremost in their minds, hearts and spirits. With transformative technologies, moving OIP from America or from The Philippines becomes faster than the speed of thought. From the first communique of Jim Luce to the serious intent of Marc Guerrero to move OIP now, not tomorrow, history is now being made. History is being evolved. History is in progress, with the immediate past and the present conspiring to make history in the immediate future by moving OIP. All for the sake of making the orphaned children of the world, live.

THE UNIVERSAL FILIPINO BEATITUDES
Blessed are the strange, the weird, the people we laugh at, those who do not fit our mold, specially the socially wretched and despised. By their presence in our lives, they expand our reality, on our part, reluctantly, and on theirs, so painfully, by forcing us to look at them in the hope that we see God in them.

Blessed are the depressed and the addicted, for they are called upon to demonstrate the healing miracles of God through their own awakening.

Blessed are those who are broken, those who fail, those who fall below our expectation, for they are asked to show the rest of us that not being perfect is part of the human condition; that accepting our imperfection is the first step in our realization of the divine perfection of all that is.

Blessed are the cruel, the callused and uncaring, for on some deep unconscious level, they choose to delay their own liberation, so that others may be enlightened by their example.

Blessed are those who cause us to suffer repeatedly by their mistakes, for they are our tutors who spend valuable time so that we learn our lessons well.

Blessed are the nameless, the faceless, the dispossessed, the refugees, the homeless and the poor, for they point us to the way to compassion. By their sheer numbers, they tell us that ultimately, the experience of compassion is inescapable.

Blessed are the people who arouse us to anger, those who bring out the worst in us, for they force us out of the denial that we harbor within; that we are hooked on them, that they resonate with something hidden inside us; and to break free, we must let go of our misguided moral superiority.

Blessed are those who do not seem to have a life, and specially those who do not have a choice, those who are physically debilitated, paralyzed or in a coma and cannot move, for they bring us a message that is lost in the age of frenzy; that to be worthy of God’s love, we need not strive to do or achieve anything, but simply BE.

Blessed are all of us, for whatever condition we find ourselves in, we can choose to remember our true nature, our original blessing, our timeless grace - anytime, any place and always - and be happy in our Oneness! - JIM PAREDES, great Filipino musician and composer, glamour photographer, inspirational writer and speaker, and artistic member of the Kyoto Accord

SALIN SA FILIPINO NI MARC GUERRERO
(Translation from English to Filipino language or Tagalog)

Pinagpala ang mga naiiba, ang katakataka, ang mga taong pinagtatawanan natin, iyong hindi nabibilang sa ating uri, lalo na iyong mga baliw at itinatakwil na salot ng lipunan. Nariyan sila upang palawakin ang mga katotohanan sa ating buhay, kahit na hindi natin matanggap, kahit na napakasakit ito para sa kanila, nang sa gayon ay mapilitan tayong bigyan sila ng kaukulang pansin sa pag-asang makikita natin ang Diyos sa kanila.

Pinagpala ang mga walang ganang mabuhay at mga sugapa, sila ay tinatawag upang maipakita ang nakapagpapagaling na mga milagro ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng kanilang paggising na muli.
Pinagpala ang mga wasak sa pagkabayubay, iyong mga bigo, iyong mga hindi nakatutugon sa ating nasa, dahil hinihingi sa kanilang maipakita sa ating lahat na likas sa kalagayan ng tao ang hindi maging perpekto, na ang pagtanggap sa ating imperpeksyon ang unang hakbang sa pagpapatunay nating ang Lumikha at lahat ng kanyang lalang ang siyang tanging perpekto sa sanlibutan.

Pinagpala ang malulupit, ang matitigas ang puso at walang pakialam sa mundo, dahil sa kaibuturan ng kanilang ulirat, pinili nilang ipagpaliban ang kanilang paglaya, upang ang iba’y maliwanagan sa kanilang halimbawa.

Pinagpala ang mga taong sa kanilang paulit-ulit na pagkakamali’y nagdudulot sa atin ng ibayong pagtitiis, dahil nagsisilbi silang mga guro natin na naghahandog sa atin ng mahalaga nilang oras upang matutuhan natin ang mga aral ng buhay.

Pinagpala ang mga walang sariling pangalan, ang walang sariling mukha, ang walang sariling pag-aari, ang walang sariling bansa, ang walang sariling tahanan at mga mahihirap, dahil itinuturo nila sa atin ang landas tungo sa kabutihang-loob. Sa dami ng bilang nilang tumatambad sa atin, ipinababatid nila sa ating lahat na sa kasukdulan, walang makaliligtas sa katotohanang pinakamasarap na karanasan ang maging mabuti ang loob.

Pinagpala ang mga taong hinahamon tayong magngitngit, iyong pinipilit tayong magalit hanggang sa tayo’y mamuhi, dahil pinupuwersa nila tayong ilabas ang kinikimkim na pagtatatwa sa ating sarili, na siyang bumabagabag sa atin, mistulang umaalingawngaw na sama ng loob na pilit nagpupumiglas palabas; at upang tayo’y makalaya, marapat at matuwid na hubdin natin ang kahangalan at pagkapalalong moral.

Pinagpala ang mga taong animo walang kabuhay-buhay, at lalo na iyong mga walang masulingan, iyong may mabibigat na kapansanan, paralisado, nasa coma o wala sa sarili, at hindi makagalaw, dahil inihahatid nila sa atin ang isang mensahe na naglahong parang bula sa panahon ng kaguluhan, silakbo at kalituhan, na upang maging karapatdapat tayo sa pag-ibig ng Diyos, hindi natin kailangang magpunyaging gawin ang anumang bagay kung para lang may makamtam, kundi simple tayong MAGING.

Pinagpala tayong lahat, kahit anupaman ang ating kalagayan at kinasasadlakan, dahil kaya nating piliing maalala ang ating tunay na kalikasan, ang ating kinapanganakang pagpapala, ang ating walang hanggang grasya o karangalan, sa anumang panahon, saanmang lugar at sa lahat ng pagkakataon, at para maging maligaya tayo sa ating sariling Kaisahan sa Kanya!
