ASATA Community Building

ASATA members gather in Dover Park in Oakland for an Eid Celebration. May 2022.

As we continue to deal with the isolation caused by the ongoing pandemic, ASATA looks for ways to reconnect with one another through arts and culture. We understand that building trusted relationships is an important part of political power building so that we can show up in formation in times of crisis and win campaigns. To that end, ASATA formed a Community Building working group that has hosted book club meetings, co-sponsored film screenings, and organized park picnics to support COVID-safe in-person gatherings.

The first book club story we chose was Dark Spaces on the Map, by Anjali Sachdeva. In this work of science fiction, a cultural anthropologist works with a 107-year-old woman to "neural harvest" her memories from the bygone era, one where men used to exist. The older woman entertains this project, but struggles with how to explain, or whether to carefully hide, a shameful memory. As a trigger warning, the story involves an implied incident of gender-based violence. Here is a link to a free podcast episode where LeVar Burton reads the story, which is about 50 minutes long. In April of 2022, Our friends at Lavender Pheonix invited us to co-sponsor a film screening at Understory as part of their Solidarity Cinema series. We picked Signature Move, a queer film by Jennifer Reeder. The film is about Zaynab (Fawzia Mirza), a thirty-something Pakistani, Muslim, lesbian in Chicago who takes care of her TV-obsessed mother Parveen (Shabana Azmi). As Zaynab falls for Alma (Sari Sanchez), a bold and very bright Mexican woman, she searches for her identity in life, love and wrestling.

In May, ASATA co-sponsored the CAAMfest screening of In Search of Bengali Harlem which follows Ullah from the streets of New York City to the villages of Bangladesh to uncover the pasts of his father, Habib, and mother, Mohima. Alaudin first discovers that Habib was part of an extraordinary history of mid-20th century Harlem, in which Bengali Muslim men, dodging racist Asian Exclusion laws, married into New York’s African American and Puerto Rican communities – and in which the likes of Malcolm X and Miles Davis shared space and broke bread with immigrants from the subcontinent. We look forward to co-creating more spaces for celebrating our diverse communities productions of arts and culture while advancing our political education.

Film still from In Search of Bengali Harlem.

Signature Move (Jennifer Reeder, 2017)

Pending another viewing, I feel that Jennifer Reeder’s most recent film, Knives and Skin, is probably one of the very best films of 2019. With this in mind, I wanted to see her other work. She appears to have made at least a couple of other feature films and quite a few shorts, but this is the only other of her films that I have been able to find a way to see so far. I did not like it nearly as much as Knives and Skin, but I enjoyed it and I believe it has a lot going for it. And I am mightily impressed by Ms. Reeder’s range as a filmmaker. Had I made a guess before seeing this, I would have assumed this film would have a lot of stylistic and thematic similarities to Knives and Skin, since that film is so idiosyncratic. But this is a completely different trip. Knives and Skin is cinema and it’s so heavy with mood and surrealism and music. Signature Move is a bouncy but realistic indie film dealing with intersections between queerness and family and cultural identity. (I should note that this film was based on a screenplay by Lisa Donato and lead actor, Fawzia Mirza, while Knives and Skin was written by Jennifer Reeder.)

I love filmmakers who are masters at making films that always feel like their films and their universes (like Wes Anderson, for example), but there is something really magical about an artist whose films are incredibly divergent in terms of style, subject matter, and vibe (like Paul Thomas Anderson or - though some would disagree - Stanley Kubrick). It’s hard to predict where Ms. Reeder is going after just a couple of feature films, but I am very excited to see what she does next. (And to continue my sleuthing and get to see more of her earlier work.)

32 Players Book Their Spots In The KO Rounds In A Roller Coaster First Day In Doha

By Ted Lerner WPA Media Officer Photo Credits WPA

(Doha, Qatar)–If the first day’s play of the 2019 World 9-ball Championship is any indication–and by all measures it certainly is just that–then fans around the world better be prepared for a wild roller coaster ride over the next three days. Drama, upsets, nerves, revelations, suprises, excitement and downright brilliant 9-ball at the highest levels were all on display as play commenced in the 28th running of pool’s premier crown. And with a loaded field just getting warmed up, it’s only going to get better leading to the final on Tuesday.

With 64 matches played on 16 tables at the Qatar Billiards and Snooker Federation in Doha, Day 1 saw 32 players book their spots in the final 64 knockout stage which begins Sunday. None of the 96 players have yet to see the exits, but there were plenty of upsets, near upsets, and upstarts making their mark on pool’s biggest stage.

The top 32 seeds were given a bye in the first round of their groups, so these players only had to win one match to reach the single elimination knockout rounds. Defending champion Joshua Filler of Germany did just that, but not before a shaky start which saw him tied at 4-4 in the race to 9 alternate break match against Qatari veteran Bashar Hussain. The World number one was never in trouble, though, and cruised to a 9-5 win.

2017 champion and runner up last year Carlo Biado of the Philippines didn’t fair as well as he got dumped over to the one loss side of his group with a shocking 9-3 loss to Chile’s Enrique Rojas. It was Rojas’ second straight victory of the day, the first coming over Kuwait’s Abdullah Alyusef. Rojas now books his well deserved spot in the Final 64 tomorrow.

The USA’s Shane Van Boening is one of the favorites here this week, but he looked a bit cold early on in his match with young talented Chinese player Xu Xiaocong. Xu is part of a large crop coming from China’s youth movement and he had the American down three quarters of the way through their match. But SVB pulled it together at the last minute and squeaked by the Chinese, 9-8. Xu will get one more chance on Sunday.

Fellow American and Mosconi teammate Billy Thorpe also booked his spot in the final 64 with a 9-5 win over Canada’s Stephen Holem.

It was a solid day for team Taiwan. World 10-ball Champion Ko Ping Chung went up against Myamar’s rising star Phone Myint Kyaw, who also goes by the moniker, Muang Muang. Kyaw is a player that pool fans will want to pay attention to. He’s a former snooker player who has been winning regularly on the brutally tough Chinese 8-ball circuit, and he just grabbed two gold medals in the Southeast Asian games in Manila. His stroke is one of the most solid in the game and anyone who watches him play instantly can see the potential in this young man.

But of course, Ko is a young prodigy who has already proven his metal in American pool with his recent win at the World 10-ball in July in Vegas. Little Ko didn’t have much trouble with Muang Muang, winning handily, 9-4.

Little Ko will join his older brother Pin Yi in the final 64, who defeated the always stingy Jalal Al Sarisi of Venezuela, 9-4. Other Taiwanese cruising into the final 64 include Chang Jung Lin, Chang Yu Lung, and Kevin Cheng.

The Philippines is surprisingly unrepresented in Doha this year with only four players in the field. With Biado losing early it was up to Johann Chua and Jeffrey Ingacio to save the day for the Pinoys. Both looked the goods and nabbed spots in the final 64.

It was a mixed bag for the European Mosconio Cup team. Greece’s Alexander Kazakis is one of Europe’s top bets here this week and he qualified for the knockout round with an easy 9-5 win over Qatar’s Waleed Majid. But Albania’s Eklent Kaci and former World 9-ball Champion Niels Feijen of the Netherlands weren’t so fortunate. Kaci lost big to the Netherlands’ Ivar Saris, who had earlier looked solid in a 9-6 win over Poland’s Karol Skowerski. Feijen went down to upstart Hong Konger Yip Kin Ling, 9-7, who took his spot in the Final 64 with his second win of the day.

The surprises kept coming throughout the day. Lithuania’s Pijus Labutis first squeaked by Peru’s Gerson Martinez, 9-8. Then he took on former World 9-ball Champion Wu Jiaqing, and shocked the Chinese great with a 9-7 upset, and a spot in the knockout rounds.

Also booking a spot in the final 64 was Canada’s John Morra, who continued his return to fine form with a 9-8 win over Poland’s Mateusz Sniegocki. Singapore’s Aloysius Yapp showed that he’s clearly a dark horse to watch here in Doha with a 9-4 drubbing of China’s talented Dang Jinhu. England’s Chris Melling came back from 6-2 down to defeat Vietnam’s Do The Kien, 9-7. Also advancing today were Japan’s Naoyuki Oi, Austria’s Max Lechner, China’s Lui Haitao, Estonia’s Dennis Grabe, Finland’s Petri Makkonen, Germany’s Ralf Souquet, and Spaniards David Alcaide and Francisco Sanchez Ruiz.

Play on day 2 on Sunday, Dec. 14th will begin at 10am Doha time(GMT +3). The field will be whittled down to 64 players playing single elimination knockout race to 11. The round of 64 will be completed in the first two session, and by the end of the day, the field will be down to the final 32.

The winner of the 2019 World 9-ball Championship will receive $30,000. The total prize fund is $150,00.

*The 2019 WPA World 9-ball Championship takes place at the Qatar Billiards and Snooker Federation in Doha, Qatar from December 10-17, 2019. The event is hosted by The Qatar Billiard and Snooker Federation(QBSF), and is sanctioned by the World Pool Billiard Association, the governing body of the sport of pool.

Fans around the world will be able to view live scoring, results, brackets and live streaming of many of the matches via the QBSF’s free live streaming platform at esnooker.pl. Multiple tables will be available to view online at no charge to the public.

Barangay Interview and Community Walk

Our NSTP’s final requirement for this semester is to conduct a Barangay Interview and Community Walk where we would have a chat with a barangay official who is in charge of Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction Management (BDRRM), ask them if my barangay is ready when disasters strikes, and explore my community where disasters would be detrimental to each and everyone, the most susceptible, and the safest place to go when a disaster will, has, and had strike.

I invited my father’s good friend (my dad works at our barangay) to our house, Mr. Mario Rances, because he is the head of the BDRRM and asked him a couple of questions whether our barangay is disaster ready and if it can help its citizens in rising again despite the casualties. I asked him where would disasters greatly impact in our barangay when flood, fire, and earthquakes happen. I asked him these because our barangay has many informal settlers in it and not all houses are made of stones, so fire’s could spread quickly, flood’s can destroy houses, and it can make evacuation or escape hard or impossible because of panicking people.

He said they usually gets info from our main LGU, Malabon City, about the incoming disasters than can affect our barangay. And it is also a common practice in our community when there are violent winds, no birds flying, and no stars at night, an incoming hurricane or hard pouring rain is on its way so our barangay usually gives announcement for evacuation. My barangay is prone to floods because our barangay is the catch basin of every barangay in Malabon and the improper waste management of our community which clogs the drainage, so that even if rain pours, even just a drizzle, there would be flood.

And he mentioned the streets that are vulnerable to these:

Flood - M. Dick St., Sanchez St., Espiritu St.,

M. Dick St.

Sanchez St.

Espiritu St.

He mentioned these streets in susceptibility to floods because these are the catch basins of the waters coming from the higher places from our community.

Fire - Espiritu St., Kaingin St. (I & II), Bustamante St., M. Dick St. (Avha), Gov. Pascual (Barrio Makike)

Kaingin St. (I & II)

Bustamante St.

M. Dick St. (Avha)

Gov. Pascual (Barrio Makike)

These places are susceptible to fire because the houses are very congested and are made of light materials which easily catches fire and are highly flammable. These are where the informal settlers settle.

There was a fire on both Espiritu St. (Riverside) and M. Dick St. (Avha) where there are reportedly 50-70 households are affected and 5 deaths are reported at the Riverside incident.

Earthquake - M. Dick St. (Avha), Gov. Pascual St. (Barrio Makike), Kaingin St. (I & II)

As he stated earlier, these are the most affected when it comes to escaping due to narrow pathways or exits. Because when disaster strikes, its man for themselves. They would focus on getting out there alive and not care about other people.

These disasters affects the marginalised in our community because most of them relies on every day wages (jeepney and tricycle drivers) so that they can feed their whole family. So if they did not pasada on that day, they could not feed their family for today. They would resort to being in debt to sari-sari stores to buy their food for that day.

He stated that there are safe places against the disasters awaiting to come to our barangay. Because these places are the highest places in our barangay, the houses in there are made of stone or materials not that flammable, or the houses are far apart. These are the places he stated:

Flood - Gov. Pascual St., Sisa St., Celia St., Cripsin St., Kaingin St. (I & II), Bustamante St., Villarba St.

Sisa St.

Celia St.

Crispin St.

He stated that these streets are found in higher parts of our barangay which makes them less susceptible to floods.

Fire - Sisa St., Villarba St., Crispin St.

Villarba St.

These places are not susceptible to fire because the houses found in these streets has a fire wall (a wall that blocks fires from spreading), houses made of stones or materials that are less likely to catch fire, and each house has spaces between them, they are not congested.

Earthquake - every street

He told me that every street in our barangay is almost safe because we don’t have high rising homes (usually up to 2nd floors) so evacuation and exit is easier and our barangay is not in the fault line.

The problems that our barangay has faced are high levels of floods, the lack of equipment to help (they have help from the DRRM but there are other places that also needs help, sometimes they are the ones that need more help than us), lack of help from the residences (making their homes as shelter for others, food, clothing, etc.), the lack on quick response and relocation sites (barangay, barangay court, barangay multi-purpose hall, and Tinajeros national Elementary and High School Campus) because these places cannot accommodate every resident that needs relocation in our barangay.

Mr. Rances told me that our LGU has recently mandated that each barangay of Malabon should document and show the equipment available for the incoming disaster which then are evaluated if it is enough to help each and every resident the barangay is covering and if it can work perfectly and efficiently. Our barangay has complied to the evaluations required by the Malabon Council which requires our barangay to have e.g. life vests, rubber boats, and signages (where it states the fault line, relocation area, where is it safe to pass, etc.) and our barangay has the Tinajeros Fire and Rescue and Tactics, a team or department of 20 volunteers and more that reponds to disasters and helps in rescuing those who are in need of help during disasters.

Our barangay has a calamity fund which is enough to support the families affected of these disasters for their food during and after the disaster and some monetary help for them to start anew if ever they are greatly affected by it. They also plans ahead if ever the disaster occurs, where would be the relocation site for affected families, estimated affected families, where would they start for the search and rescue, where they would pressure the residents to leave their homes for relocation, and their hotlines and phones (the barangay council and tanods) are always ready to answer for help.

Our community helps hand in hand if disasters strikes, where we would help other families to put their household appliances to an upper floor or ground and we cook more food so that we can share it with other families affected by disasters, but the barangay council and staff and tanods are the ones that direct us where to go for safety, what to do during disasters, and helping us keep calm and tell us everything will be alright because they got everything planned.

This is the Riverside I said that was burned down by the fire, there are houses built on there again after a few months even though our barangay has relocated them somewhere else. They said that this is where their life was, where they work, it would be hard for them to relocate because they would leave their life in here. They would prefer to live in this unlivable place (no drainage, illegal settler) than to live in a place where they would not be scared because their house is made of stone and would not be easily destroyed by any disaster.

The safest places would be in the Villarba St. out of every streets in my barangay, because this is on eof the most highest place in our barangay and most houses are made of stone, and there are apartments available here that a family of four can live in. So one can live in there safely and comfortably.

I’m proud of my barangay for this, they are upgrading our roads and canals. They upgrade our canals by digging them deeper so that it can accommodate more water. They also has a clean-up drive for our canals, implements strict segregation of trash, and has a daily dump truck that picks up trash from the residents, where each places has a specific day for the dump truck to pick up their trash like the coding scheme for vehicles.

For me our barangay is disaster ready and we, the residents, know what to do when disaster strikes because we are briefed by our barangay on what to do if we are affected. But mostly each and everyone of us should have discipline to lessen the impact of these disasters. Never throw trash anywhere to not clog or fill the canals with trash, listen to the news about the hurricanes and earthquakes, always unplug electrical devices when not in use to avoid fire, ALWAYS be careful when using fire (for cooking, candles), evacuate immediately when told to evacuate the premises, and follow the safety guidelines (duck, cover, and hold, stop, drop, and roll, don’t go near electrical devices when there is flood, etc.)

No one wants to live in a house where they do not feel safe and comfortable but the people that live in these dangerous places cannot live or move to a different place because they do not have the money to move. They are compromising because this is the only place they could afford to live in with their wage. Even if they want to move, they can’t. Honestly, our barangay is helping my community in anyway they can to prevent these disasters affect them greatly, but for me I would implement a kind of starting business for these families so they can afford to move or improve their houses. If not, they can offer some help in making their houses more less likely to be destroyed by disasters. But every Filipino also experience this, the want to live on a better place but they cannot because of their circumstances. I demand for the Government to help the marginalised in making their homes safer for them to live in, to use the donations and funds given to them to help the affected families and not to put it in their own pockets or eat it happily with their own family. They are put there by the Filipinos because they trust them that they would help in times of need.

During my interview and community walk, I cannot help but to feel thankful. A 2nd child born to a middle-upper class family. Someone who can afford to go to a prestigious school, eat 3-times a day, and sleep in a comfortable bed. That the house I live in is safe from disasters, i can sleep during the hurricane and flood without ever thinking we should get out of here because our home is washed away by the flood, sleeping soundly that our house are made of stone and nonflammable materials. The things I took for granted which other families would kill to have, that I was blessed to live in this kind of house. So for me to pay it forward, I would help in any way I can, the people who needs help during disasters. That by not throwing candy wrapper on the street would be a big help for our community to not get easily flooded.

We live in a 3rd world country dominated by the marginalised. Where sleeping in the road despite high floods and heavy rains is common. This should be an eye opener to everyone, not just the government. That our country can never move forward because most of us are living poorly. That until the rich cares, the poor will always be poor whatever they do and even if they work harder. That until the lyrics of the songs “Tatsulok” by Bamboo and “Upuan” by Gloc 9 feat. Zelle are relevant and rampant in our country, we WILL always be a 3rd world country.

Gerry’s Grill, restaurant and bar pioneer turns 23

What comes to mind when one thinks of the number 23? Is it Michael Jordan, the G.O.A.T. of basketball? Is it the age of real adulting for some, a point in one’s life where he realizes he’s a full-grown adult with all the responsibilities that come with being one?

For Gerry’s Restaurant and Bar, more widely known as Gerry’s Grill, the number marks the years it has successfully catered to the discriminating palate of the Filipino people. 23 years ago, on February 14, 1997, the first Gerry’s Restaurant and Bar opened its doors on Tomas Morato, Quezon City. And the dining landscape has never been the same since. Gerry’s Grill pioneered the resto-bar concept that continues to appeal to the Gen X, its original clients, as it does the Millennials of today. Many have followed suit but Gerry’s maintains its uniqueness for a good number of reasons.

Touted as among the few preferred go-to restaurant–bars in the metro, Gerry’s boasts of over a hundred stores thus deserving to be called the “sari-sari store” of resto-bars by virtue of its being found in every major dining and entertainment hub in Metro Manila. And in each branch, one is surely never short changed.

Gerry’s has proven time and again to withstand food fads like the grill wars, i.e., shawarma, samgyupsal (Korean Grill), lechon manok/baboy and numerous experimental and fusion cuisines. This means that their Filipino-themed menu has become ingrained in the food psyche of Filipinos, a tradition no less. Their variety of dishes and beverages represents the whole Philippine cuisine. Its flavorful Sizzling Sisig, Beef Kare-Kare and Inihaw na Pusit have been legendary food staples at every Filipino customer’s dining table. The rest of the menu caters to almost any craving.

Even the beer gulping culture of the country has been shaped and influenced by Gerry’s Grill being a top-of-mind watering hole through the years. Its wide food selection is considered the holy grail of pulutans (hors d’oeuvres) that is perfect for inumans (benders).

Bert Santos, an engineer, waxed nostalgic when he said that he literally grew up with Gerry’s Grill as his tambayan (bar/beer joint) for unwinding during his college years. Today, Gerry’s is a favorite lunch place for his family after hearing Sunday mass. While Buddy Sanchez, a doctor, said Gerry’s holds a special place in his heart because this was where he bonded with his work buddies after a stressful day and where he eventually met his future wife, Sally.

Gerry’s has recently opened its branches in San Diego, California and Houston, Texas, a good addition to its overseas chain which includes branches in Singapore, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Avenida, a modern Filipino restaurant and bar, inspired by the Avenida Rizal (Rizal Avenue) of the post-war era, is another Gerry’s Grill-owned restaurant that opened in San Mateo, California. With these developments, our overseas kababayans have every reason to celebrate Gerry’s 23 years of great food and great service.
