Mediating Prosperity

In his book "Life Principles," Injap (Intsik father and Japanese mother) Sia recounted studying the mechanics of how to win a Honda Civic in a Nestle contest 2002. In order to "submit the most number of replies via mobile text messages to survey questions... he enlisted the help of Ernie, a college classmate who agreed to help him win the contest in exchange for a P200/day ...and a bonus of an upscale Nokia phone then worth around P10, 000, if they win the top prize. Injap gave Ernie a simple cellphone which the latter would use to text messages, but especially at night and all the way until daybreak" when most texters were asleep. (From the Inquirer)

Mediation too is a group effort toward a win-win resolution.
