Clarita de Gala
DAYOT
By Trisa DAYOT and J.J.
DAYOT,
Page
A24
Wife, mother, dentist, friend, benefactor. Born June 7, 1917,
in Candelaria, the Philippines. Died December 22, 2005, of a
stroke, in Toronto, aged 88.
Clarita DE
GALA was born the youngest of four children. Her parents
Manuel and Honesta recognized an unstoppable and confident spirit
of adventure in their daughter. Clarita graduated from university
as a dentist in the early 1950s: a time when women in the Philippines
were not expected to drive a car, let alone practise a profession.
After an ironic stint as the resident dentist for a candy factory,
Clarita wanted to further her education. She was awarded the
Fulbright scholarship for post-graduate studies in dentistry
at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Before returning
to the Philippines, Clarita drove cross-country with several
girlfriends to see as much of America as she could. She followed
this up with a round-the-world tour, making quick and steadfast
Friends wherever she went.
When she got back home, Clarita soon married Luis Adrian
DAYOT.
Luis was her soul mate; a "mestizo" lawyer. The happy couple
soon had two children, a daughter, Trisa, and a son, J.J. Clarita
left her full-time dental practice, limiting her treatment to
family and Friends and devoted her time to looking after her
family. In 1971, Luis and Clarita became increasingly wary of
the political situation in the Philippines under the dictator
Ferdinand Marcos. The decision was made to emigrate to Toronto,
Canada.
The four Dayots tried hard to rebuild their lives in their adopted
country; life was not easy in their new surroundings and Clarita
was very homesick. But instead of dwelling on her sadness, she
soon got busy. She founded the Candelaria Association (after
her birthplace) and became a founding member of the Filipino
Parents' Association. She surrounded herself with individuals
who shared her history and love of her native land. She also
found a job with a dental supply company.
Tragedy struck in 1976 with the sudden death of Luis. Clarita
became both a mother and father to Trisa and J.J., encouraging
and supporting their endeavours and aspirations while continuing
to work full-time. After her retirement and up until her 80th
year, she was a busy and caring volunteer at the Silayan Filipino
Community Centre and for the Red Cross at Sunnybrook Hospital.
She also rekindled her passion for travel and visited Israel,
Greece, Turkey, the Caribbean and the Mediterranean. When she
turned 85, she travelled back to the Philippines for the last
time to celebrate her birthday with family and Friends, dancing
the night away with the playfulness and abandonment that had
characterized her as a young woman.
Our Mom was always at her happiest in the company of others.
She enthusiastically organized social events, brought people
together and happily watched Friendships unfold. She kept up
avid correspondence with Friends and family all over the world.
She adored celebrations of all kinds, from large family birthdays
to a block rosary party. Everyone was family to her; she was
"Tia" (auntie) to all.
Since her death, we have learned even more about her acts of
kindness: how she helped put less-fortunate relatives through
school, helped others find jobs, buy their first car or furnish
their first home. She never forgot her birthplace of Candelaria
and continued to help new immigrants from her hometown.
In many ways it made perfect sense that Mom had helped others
surpass their limits and achieve their dreams, since she herself
had the opportunity to achieve so much and to live a life well
beyond her time -- a life of spirited independence and indelible
warmth.
Trisa and J.J. are Clarita's children.

'Loss of a giant'
Tributes pour in for the renowned Dutton-born economist.
By John MINER, Free Press Reporter and News Services, Mon., May 1,
Dutton -- "It is the loss of a giant."
News of the death of world renowned economist John Kenneth
GALBRAITH,
97, was greeted with sadness yesterday in his hometown, where
the library bears his name and people say they've forgiven him
for his 1964 book poking fun at the area.
Leafing through letters from
GALBRAITH in her second-floor Main
Street
Dutton studio, Jenny
PHILLIPS said the former advisor
to U.S. presidents -- who died Saturday -- will be missed by
residents.
"We got a little bit of star quality because of him," said
PHILLIPS,
who helped spearhead the drive to have
GALBRAITH recognized with
a plaque and library renaming.
"He was one of the good ones. I don't believe they make men like
that anymore with morals and ethics who don't mind going to bat
against anybody. He was a giant."
Tributes came in yesterday to the towering intellectual from
around the world.
British
Finance
Minister Gordon Brown said
GALBRAITH advised
him and others in recent years with insights into the modern
age. "He will be remembered for his erudition, his wit and eloquence,
and particularly for his economic insights into our age," he
said.
Senator▼
Edward
Kennedy▼ --
GALBRAITH served his brother in the
White House -- lauded
GALBRAITH's "profound commitment to social
justice."
"I know how much President Kennedy admired his genius, valued
his Friendship and loved his extraordinary wit, and so did I,"
he said.
"Our affluent society is a fairer and more just society today
because of Ken, and no one who knew him will ever forget him."
Free
Reporter
Randy
RICHMOND, among the last Canadian journalists
to interview
GALBRAITH, said his "grace" impressed him most when
he interviewed him in 2003.
"He spoke as someone who had been through a lot of wars and had
a lot of wisdom. He would take verbal potshots at his enemies,
but it was always with humour," he said.
At the farm where
GALBRAITH was born October 15, 1908, southwest
of London, owner Robert
BOBIER regrets he wasn't able to take
GALBRAITH up on his invitation to visit him in the U.S.
GALBRAITH had been back to the family farm several times, once
for the making of a British Broadcasting Corporation film.
"He was a smart, smart man," said
BOBIER.
At the farm,
GALBRAITH is commemorated with an Inuit inukshuk,
a rock monument.
After graduating from the University of Toronto in 1931,
GALBRAITH
moved to the U.S. where he earned his Ph.D. in economics from
the University of California.
He taught at Harvard from 1934 to 1939 and
at Princeton University
from 1939 to 1942.
GALBRAITH returned to Harvard in 1948, remaining active there
until retiring in 1975.
He served as adviser to Democratic presidents from Franklin D.
Roosevelt to Bill Clinton and was John F. Kennedy's ambassador
to India.
GALBRAITH became one of America's best-known liberals and was
outspoken in his support of government action to solve social
problems.
The author of more than 20 books, his 1958 work The Affluent
Society caused the U.S. to reconsider its values and helped propel
him into the international spotlight.
The book argued the American economy was producing individual
wealth, but hadn't adequately addressed public needs such as
schools and highways.
But▼ it was a book
GALBRAITH wrote while ambassador in India,
The Scotch, that infuriated locals in his home area.
Yesterday, the book was repeatedly mentioned by Dutton residents,
but people said they were over it.
"Time heals everything," said
BOBIER.
PHILLIPS said there was nothing in the book others hadn't said,
but GALBRAITH wrote it down.
"I don't think he ever intended to be rude," she said.
GALBRAITH's nephew, Jerry
GALBRAITH of the Dutton area, said
his uncle was particularly pleased when Dutton named its library
after him.
"He always spoke about the library and wrote to us several times
about it. He was quite honoured," he said.
When GALBRAITH couldn't make the trip to Canada for a plaque
unveiled in his honour, the Free Press's
RICHMOND interviewed
him at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The one question
GALBRAITH avoided answering was what he saw
as his own legacy.
"He said that was up to other people to decide. He never wanted
to talk about his own heroics,"
RICHMOND said.
In that 2003 interview,
GALBRAITH said his greatest political
accomplishment was during the Second World War when he was a
central part of the successful effort to keep inflation under
control.
Asked what he would rank as his greatest failure,
GALBRAITH replied:
"That is not my disposition, but I would have no doubt that in
the United States, and also in Canada, our greatest failure has
been in the very large number of people who live in poverty,
deprivation, concern as to life next week, next year."
John Kenneth Galbraith
Born: October 15, 1908, in Iona Station.
Education: B.S., University of Toronto, 1931; M.S., Ph.D., University
of California, 1934.
Experience: From 1934 to 1939, he was an instructor and tutor
at Harvard. Also taught at the University of California and at
Princeton before returning to Harvard in 1948 as a lecturer in
economics. Promoted to professor in 1949 and in 1959 became the
Warburg Professor of Economics. He retired in 1975.
GALBRAITH organized and oversaw price controls during the Second
World War as deputy administrator in the Office of Price Administration.

Dismissed as iconoclast,
GALBRAITH truly a seer
By Shawn McCARTHY,
Page B1
New York -- John Kenneth
GALBRAITH produced no elegant mathematical
models to support his economic analysis; there is no Galbraithian
school that has applied his theories to the 21st-century world
of globalized markets and complex financial derivatives.
But knowingly or not, skeptics about current conventional economic
wisdom and non-believers in the self-correcting mechanisms of
the market owe an enormous debt to the Canadian-born, Harvard-bred
economist.
Mr. GALBRAITH died Saturday at the age of 97 in a hospital in
Cambridge, Massachusetts.
His most recent contribution to the dismal science came just
two years ago with The Economics of Innocent Fraud, a short book
that challenged modern orthodoxy by questioning the ability of
markets to regulate themselves and of corporations to govern
themselves.
It was a theme Mr.
GALBRAITH had been advocating publicly since
the publishing of his bestseller The Affluent Society in 1958.
In his numerous books, the economist, who began his career as
a New Deal bureaucrat during modern capitalism's worst crisis,
anticipated speculative bubbles like the dot-com frenzy -- and
the unsustainable froth in the current real estate market --
as well as corporate scandals of the Enron and WorldCom variety
far better than most mainstream economists have.
His insight that a well-functioning economy requires "countervailing
powers" -- enunciated in his 1952 opus, American Capitalism --
anticipated the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, aimed
at reforming corporate governance in the aftermath of the scandals.
Still, modern business economists tend to dismiss Mr.
GALBRAITH
as an iconoclast, a political economist whose critiques may be
somewhat cogent but whose progressive prescriptions are wholly
unworkable.
He is compared unfavorably to his long-time rival, Milton Friedman,
the conservative University of Chicago economist who won the
Nobel Prize in 1976 for his work on consumption analysis, monetary
history and the complexity of economic stabilization policies.
But▲ then Mr.
GALBRAITH tended to dismiss modern economics and
its reliance on mathematical models that he believed failed to
account for human nature, less-than-perfect market information
or unequal power relationships.
And in his life-long battle with conventional wisdom -- a phrase
he coined -- Mr.
GALBRAITH appeared to rarely doubt the superiority
of his own vision.
In an interview at his Cambridge home last year after the publication
of a biography by Harvard University colleague Richard Parker,
the long-time lecturer retained his authoritative tone, delivering
answers to questions as if imparting lessons to an undergraduate.
But he frankly acknowledged his own arrogance, leavening it with
self-deprecating humour and epigrammatic sarcasm. "Humility,"
he once quipped, "is not always compatible with the truth."
A central concern of Mr.
GALBRAITH's life work was the need in
a healthy society for a proper balance between private consumption
and public good. It is a theme that echoes today as governments
and global institutions look beyond gross domestic product per
capita to educational opportunity and environmental health in
comparing quality of life among countries.
Mr. GALBRAITH achieved his pre-eminence in the optimistic years
of the 1960s, when he advised the Democratic administrations
of John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson on government programs
aimed at eradicating poverty.
Asked to sum up a half-century of his work in a sentence or two,
he refrained from sarcasm and took a mechanically assisted breath
before uttering what would sound to many a modern ear as an anachronistic
philosophy.
"As regards the United States and all political entities, there
should be a diminution in concern about economic well being.
I'm for a socially pain-free, decently egalitarian society."
But▲ for the last 30 years of his life, Mr.
GALBRAITH was increasingly
a voice in wilderness, as the conventional wisdom grew ever more
skeptical of the ability of government to intervene constructively
in the economy, and ever more confident in the marketplace.
In writing Mr.
GALBRAITH's biography, Mr. Parker was candidly
aiming to reclaim the economist's status as one of the great
thinkers of the 20th century.
Mr.
Parker named several current economists who -- like Mr.
GALBRAITH
before them -- stretched the bounds of mainstream economics to
rethink mainstream models and axioms and look to human behavioural
theory to explain distribution of scarce resources.
Chief among them is Harvard University professor Amartya Sen,
a Nobel Prize winner for his work on development economics. Prof. Sen
credited Mr.
GALBRAITH's
American
Capitalism for helping him
appreciate the great importance of competing powers in societies.
Prof.
Sen▲ has compared Mr.
GALBRAITH's impact on modern economics
with William Shakespeare's influence on the English language.
"It's like reading Hamlet and deciding it's full of quotations,"
he is quoted as saying. "You realize where they came from."
