Feng Shui expert says 2012 good year for DC

DAVAO CITY, Jan. 23 (PNA)  -- The Year of the Water Dragon 

for 2012 is a good year for the island Mindanao and the City 

of Davao.

Feng Shui expert Master Richard Yu, who flew in this city on 

Monday courtesy of SM Davao to conduct forum about the classic 

school of thoughts on Feng Shui and the Chinese Lunar New Year, 

said "lots of good things will happen in Mindanao area and there 

will be less disaster here".

But he said there are lots of work to be done especially pertaining 
to issues of attaining justice and peace.

And because of hard work that Davao City will be doing this year, 
a lot will happen more next year.

He said things will start here especially in Davao City because in 
this city will be the start off point with many good things that will be realized in the southern part of the country this year.

"And next year you will reap the fruit because of your hard work this year," he said.

Yu has been conducting fora and consultancy for the past 9 years. 
He worked formerly at the National Statistics Office, Manila with his educational background in Engineering, but decided to come up 
with his own and landed in Feng Shui analyses, which he had been exposed to when he was a kid where he said his father also practices 
the craft.

Meanwhile, he said for as long as gambling will not be tolerated 
here like what is going on in Las Vegas and Macau where gambling 
is legalized, then peace is going to happen in your city.

“Just pay particular attention to symbols 1, 6, 8 and 4 with 1 which 
stands for the start that is going to happen this year in Davao City, 
6 stands for wealth where many could be found in Manila and 
Davao is very near to that source and 8 symbolizes tremendous 
wealth happening in China, an area very near our country and 4 representing investments which Davao City 
is going to corner this year,” Yu said.

He said for as long as the people work for it and believe in it, then something positive is going to happen and because of change peace 
will be achieved here.

Davao, which is an agriculture base area, he said is perfect in the 
Year of the Water Dragon because of the combination of water, 
earth and wood.

He said more food production will be achieved here as against other 
areas in the country like Luzon which will be threatened with lack 
of supply.

Yu, who follows and studies symbols, culture and tradition that 
was passed on from the olden Chinese, said his analyses of the 
Feng Shui are computed based on Science and Math.

He also said this year is also good on anything cultural as well as 
on education.

But prayer he said complete one's luck as luck has three parts, 
the God Luck that could be achieved through prayers, Man Luck 
through interaction with other people and Nature Luck that is 
brought about by plants.

On the other hand, Davao City celebrated the Chinese New Year 
with rituals, prayers and the countdown which celebration happened 
at Magsaysay Park until midnight of January 23.

Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio, who led the Chinoy in the celebration here, took the opportunity for thanking the Chinese 
community for the unceasing support to the people of Davao 
most especially during calamities and disaster.

The activity at the Park was capped with the release of 290 Chinese lanterns where the Mayor, who took part in the lighting and releasing 
of her lantern, accompanied it with her wish for prosperity and 
peace in Davao City.

The releasing of the Chinese lanterns last night was for the first time 
held in Davao City. (PNA) rsv/Prix Digna D. Banzon/ldp
