Olympics, Seattle Times, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and the rest. Hold up for David Bunevacz daughter's talent

HISTORY OF SCCI

As my plane landed in the Philippines ten years ago, my objective has always been there the same, and that is to make a difference in the birthplace of my mother. A change that would be for the better of my Filipino brothers. Before that day, I had never stepped foot on Philippine soil. This would be the beginning of a turn of events, controversial, yet remarkably astonishing, that only my parents could fathom. I brought a glory to the Philippines, taking home with me its 1^st ever Gold Medal in the Decathlon at SEA Games. After some time, I realized that through sports. I could only affect the winning senses and short-lived joys of triumph through competition. I needed, and searched for a more prolonged, concrete satisfaction that would somehow affect my country’s development, something extensive, substantial that could be seen and felt for generation to come.

And so my journey begins as a Financial Consultant and harnessing the education I acquired at one of the top universities in the United States. After gaining my degree in Economics and Sociology from the University of California Los Angles (UCLA). I went back to school to sharpen my skills by taking up a course in Finance and investment Management that enabled me to work with the banking community. I wanted to break the media stereotype that I was only a athlete. My competitive spirits and relentless will to become number one is the only thing that still dominates. It’s an attribute that you cannot beat out of any athlete, you are born with it. I pass this on to all associates, and instill in them the motivation to always do their very best in every project, in every endeavor they are given, SSCI is the end result of a winning team that has been developed through motivation, coordination and highly educated and skilled individuals.

Working closely with senior executives and presidents of the largest banks in our country has enabled us to build a pool of funders whom we can count on for our various projects. We have built a reputation that we are extremely proud of, and shall keep pressing on for, to the advantage and prestige of our clients. At present, the market for LGU Bonds is growing steadily, and it is imperative that we give our clients precedence in order to maintain that accelerated growth without losing momentum. Capitalizing on low interest rates is a major factor in assuring the very best cash flow in every project we complete.

We will continue to develop and built relationships with the international banking community to prove that LGU Bonds are solid investments.

Most People are astounded by the magnitude of what we have accomplished in such a short period of time. Within just thirteen months, we have been blessed to have floated the two largest single series LGU bonds in the history of LGU Bond Floatation. And with the rise in the education of the LGUs to the advantages of Bond Floatation, we are confident that many more LGUs will be following suit, marching on towards financial independence.

I have been blessed by all means, and continue to move ahead of the competition, maintaining a strict sense of business ethics, aggressive pricing, unbeatable packaging, and above all, a sense humility towards everyone I come in contract with.

A David's Quest: From USA to Philippines: the man behind the Beverly Hills 6750 issue.

California and became the State Decathlon Champion.

From 1988 to 1993, he worked on his degree in Business Management majoring in Sociology at UCLA, where he set the University record for the Javeling throw and was chosen captain of the All-American Team. But as far as his athletic career goes, Bunevacz didn’t have a carpeted path to success. There were many frustrations. At one point, despite advice to the contrary from his coach, he was lifting weights that were to heavy and severely ruptured part of his spine. He had to undergo surgery, but luckily, he says, the injury has not recurred.

In 1992, David became a senior in college, and it was “a really bad year” for him. As a decathlete, he ranked number two in the US, but made the costly mistake of switching over to a

European coach who worked his o hard that he injured in Finland, during the qualifying meet that would have sent him to compete in the Barcelona Olympics.

Needless to say, he dumped that coach and a couple of years later, seems to be back on the track—literally. He trains eight hours a day and stays on a rigid diet when in LA. His coaches now are Jim Bush (“he’s in the track and field Hall of Fame”), John Smith, Anthony Curran, and Art Vanegas, guys who are “second to none in the States.” The relatively huge training allowance awarded to him, later withdrawn, by the PSC was to have paid for these coaches subsequently.

And this guy takes his sport seriously. In his opinion, the decathlete who wins in the Olympics is the greatest athlete in the world. David

explains that the decathlon is “the most grueling, most demanding” of all competitions. In the two days of a decathlon, there are 10 events to compete in, five per day. His fortes are the Shot put, Discus and especially the Javelin Throw(during a workshop he was giving at the Rizal Coliseum, David threw a javelin from a standing position and it landed just a couple of meters short of the existing Philippine record, which was thrown after the usual running start). The other events are the 110-metre hurdles, 1500-metre run, and the Pole Vault, which he has difficulty with because of his height.

A world-class decathlete should have a total of 7,700 points. At 21, David had already achieved 7,350. This, specifically, is where a big “why” come in. Why, if he is as good as he’s touted, would he prefer to be on the RP team rather than the US squad? Why the sudden interest in a country that he’s never ever been to? It could be that he’s the type of person who prefers the “big fish, small pond” situation. Despite speculations and rumors, it’s difficult to really be sure. At least, David fills us in on “how” it all came about.

Ben Caesar, another Fil-American athlete, asked him if he wanted to compete for the Philippines. David decided that it was an opportune time to check things out. He came over on his very first visit to the country in January of this year. While here, he met with Go Teng Kok, who heads the

Scandals over! Love takes Beverly Hills into the next level with David Bunevacz and Jessica Rodriguez against all the hubbub

David’s a Goliath
“Hey How come nobody asks me what I love talking about, they always ask me what’s David like or what does he do, but nobody’s ever asked me what I love to talk about?”
So what do you love to talk about? “Fashion and family! Fashion is so interesting. It’s always been a major part of my life. I’ve always admired people who design clothes like Giorgio Armani, Gianfranco Ferre, Calvin Klein, Gianni Versace … their lines, their creations, their world fascinates me, it’s a never ending process.” David was able to indulge in his love for fashion when he joined the Airborne men’s fashion show of Monsieur Rustans and launched Wings for Men by Giorgio Beverly Hills.
His other passion is family. “I love kids. I wan to have two. More than that is too many. (David has one sister, Desiree.) My family life when I was growing up was kinda abnormal. My dad’s Hungarian my mom’s Ilocana, can you imagine the combination of food on the table? All my friends would for dinner and would wonder what we are eating. My farther would always make them try something weird but they’d love it. Next thing you’ll know, they’re back for dinner the next week.
David’s been a controversial figure but despite all the flak he’s getting, he feels more at home in the Philippines than in L.A. “in L.A, nobody will talk to you if you’re not a superstar or something like that. I just found it so ridiculous.” It doesn’t look as if he’ll have the same problem back here. -LBP

Jessica Rodriguez Testimony about the Beverly Hills and all the accusations

JESSICA’S TESTIMONY
When you become a believer of God, you also become God messenger. That is why I want to share with you today the struggles I had in my life and how I miraculously found myself in this place, enjoying a fruitful relationship with my very personal God, our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.

All along I thought my being here on earth was a mistake. A costly mistake committed by my parents. I believed then that they had been cursed by God. And that cursed had been passed on to me. I thought I was born to suffer.

I was born out of wedlock. My parents didn’t marry because my grandparent did not approve of their relationship. My dad came from a wealthy family while my mom was a typical probinsyana who fell head over heels with my good-looking dad, who was then is show business. But my father, being too much of a womanizer, eventually left my mother brokenhearted. My parents separated when I was to years old and from there, I grew up in a most confusing environment being rotated from one house to another, to live temporarily with either my dad, or my mom, and most of the time with my grandparents.

I had to settle for this kind of life because I had no choice. My mother during that time already had four kids by other men, while my dad also had a new family. I always felt like the odd one out.

Living with my grandparents had allowed me to go to a good, private Catholic school, something that my mother couldn’t afford. But the most discouraging part in it is that I was treated well by my aunts and uncles. If you have watched soap operas during my time like “Flordeluna” or “Annaliza” that was me, exactly, only, it was for real.

I would come and visit my mom and dad during weekends. While I find myself getting closer to my mom seeing how much she is suffering in her life. I found myself resenting my father. I never got the chance to bond with him. When I would come to visit him, I would end up fighting with his new live-in partner. She was so mean to me. She would shout me and hit me, sometimes bite me even. She concocts all those hurtful accusations against me which were all untrue. But the worst part is that my dad would side with her all the time, I was convinced that I hated my dad. That is why when they decided to migrate to US and gave me the choice to join them, I declined, I couldn’t even begin to imagine life with him and his live-in partner somewhere so far away.

Instead, I chose to be with my mother. I have come to appreciate her more, and love her deeply because despite her sufferings, she opted to do her best to raise all her kids. She had numerous failed relationships with other men, but what stood out in my consciousness was that she was a victim of circumstances.

That’s why when she died, and in a most painful and most violent way possible. I knew something in me died too. My mother was murdered and to this day, we have yet to find justice for her death. That was the lowest of all lowest points in my life. It took me a very long time to come to grips with the reality of my loss. For a long time, I numbed my feelings. I didn’t allow to myself to hurt by the loss of anybody anymore. Boyfriends, friends, talents, best friends, Namanhid na ko.

Looking back, I know now why God took away my mom from me. I have put my mother above everything else in my life, even him. For God said, “I will take away from you, whom you love more than God the Father Almighty…..” He wanted me back in His arms. Only I took a long time realizing it.

I took over my mom’s responsibility and took care of my siblings, who were also abandoned by their fathers. I started working at 15 and sent them all to school. My first job was as a mannequin in Plaza Fair. I would stand there all day and get paid P180.00. We survived with that kind of job.
A year after I joined Binibining Pilipinas, not hoping to win anything because we just falsified my documents being underage and all. All I was after was to find connections so I can land into modeling. And I did. I got lucky and found myself one of the girls under Wanda Louwallier to tour Asia. It was in Malaysia where I met the father of my first child, Hayca. I was 18 then I had her. Even though that relationship allowed me financial freedom because he was reach, still was not happy. I was too much of a free spirit to settle for a life with that man. One day I just decided to leave him and enter a show business in the Philippines.

In this new world, I found myself going through the motions but not specifically liking the environment. You see people who are only good to you when you can be of use to them everyday. There is hypocrisy everywhere. And it’s in this world where I met the father of my second child Grant. He was married ---we had relationship. I got pregnant in the process. Being the kind of sinful woman that I used to be, I even felt triumphant when Grant’s father chose to be with me and leave his family.
But through it all, I know in my heart that God will punish us because of this sin, and He did. The whole time that I conceiving this child, we were financially distraught. I spent every single penny I had saved, even sold the car, sold the town house. I was left with nothing.

But somehow things started to happen for me after I gave birth. Boss Vic del Rosario helped me when I started to dabble in talent management and slowly, I was able to get back on the track. But then again, when I regained my strength, money, power and fame (or so I thought) I started living in more and more. Eventually, I left the father of my second child. I had relationships with other men, but still I would find my self very unhappy. I never realized how lost I was.

We took our spirituality seriously and immediately organized a bible study group, invited most of my friends to meet religiously every Tuesday night here in Alabang. We started with only five persons, but now we have grown to be an 18-member group.

I am proud to tell you that I have never been this happy in all my life. I have never been in so much peace. The happiness within me is just unexplainable. I know that is has a lot to do with the fact that God loves me very much. Despite all my wrongdoings in the past, he honored my sincere heart in wanting to change. He forgave my sins but he didn’t stop there. He literally showered me with his favors and blessings.

Looking back, I am just so full of conviction that I am not a mistake. My life is not a mistake. “For all my days are written in His book.”

To God be the glory.
