Mediating Housing

From experience, know the travails of acquiring real estate. Now a smart, socially- conscious entrepreneur, Jack Ng, Jr. has come up with housing priced at exactly the limit of the government loan- P 450, 000.

Successful mediation!

Mediating Maids' Loans

Desperate housemaids get into debt before and even during employment abroad.

"HelperChoice is one of several online services cutting out the middleman- recruiters who charge would-be maids exorbitant fees- and helping them to avoid getting trapped in debt bondage to exploitative employers." Thomson Reuters Foundation

Divine Mediation

After DU30 tirade on God and the Catholic Church, he forms his team to meet the offended party.  Would that God make His Almighty Presence felt, as Bro. Eddie Villanueva warned.

Actually, all that DU30 has to do is temper his tongue, but of course he may believe in the Holy Spirit so is not entitled to His Gifts.

Magaway

The name of the PNP point man on their misencounter with the AFP is ominous.

Depending on mobiles while on the field in remote areas is a no-no in effective communication.

Puckoon

Not a new word for sensitive.
It's a Cinema Europe feature on this place in Ireland. Of course, one character calls wine "liquid Christianity" that has to be respected.

Here, DU30 doesn't even respect Christ! How can he respect Christians? Useless to mediate when the mind and heart are closed.

Dictators Rulebook

NAT GEO's feature on free spirit Picasso was ironically taken over by this one on regimentation.

No dictators allowed in mediation. Only the two disputants' will is followed.

Lucky Strike

PCOO had another one- mistaking Sherwin for Winston.

Details like these have to be precise in Compromise Agreements.

Oral Orders

They are just for meals in restaurants. For DU30 to be taken seriously and without misunderstanding leading to denials and further putdowns, he has to set it in writing, right?

Like a compromise agreement.

Adam Boyd

"Of Highland, Michigan, he is a seasoned contractor who built houses for a living. Nobody would have guessed the lengths he would go to make his daughters happy.

He built a 2-storey wooden play house that awe for both kids and adults alike...Inside, chalkboards adorn some walls, allowing them to draw freely on them."

Like in mediation, instead of telling disputants what they cannot do, give them tools to come up with creative compromises.

American in Paris

Gene Kelly's starving artist character had this to say,"Back there in New Jersey, they said I didn't have talent. They just say it nicer here."

Could lead to a compromise agreement or in this movie, a wealthy patroness!
