What a way to end a life!

What a way to die...

Nagulat ako ng mabasa ko ang balita na ngdudumilat at nakakalungkot, na nagbaril ng sarili ang isa sa pinaka-decorated nating sundalo na naging AFP Chief of Staff sa kapanahunang ng dating Presidente Estrada..at naging dahilan sa pagkakaluklok ni Gng. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo sa pagkapresidente ng bumaba siya sa pagka AFP Chief of Staff at naging National Defense Secretary sa panahon ni GMA. Hindi ko po maikokondena ang ginawa ng dati nating heneral, pero sana naisip niya ang magiging kalagayan ng kanilang mga anak at kanyang asawa. Dama ng lahat ang kanilang labis na kalungkutan sa mga oras ng pangyayaring ito. Sana lang nilakasan niya ang kanyang loob sa pagharap ng mga akusasyong ihinain sa kanilang mga heneral na sangkot sa nawawalang pondo ng AFP. Matapang at mapusok ang kanyang ginawa na labag sa ating simbahan kung pagpapakamatay ang pag-uusapan...pero isa itong pagtanggap ng pagkatalo kung paninindigan ang gusto mong patunayan. Paninindigan sa kung ano ang alam mong totoo. Nakakaawa ang kalagayan ng kaniyang iniwan dahil wala na siya upang patunayan ang kung ano man ang katotohan. Maaring sa sobrang depresyon ay iyon ang naisipan niyang kasagutan sa lahat, pero isang nakakahilakbot na desisyon ang kanyang ginawa.

Tuloy pa rin ang paghahanap ng katotohanan sa panig ng committee na nakalaan upang matugunan ang paghahanap ng nawalang pondo sa kabila ng pangyayari. Maaring umani sila ng negatibong komento at pasaring hinggil sa pagpapamakatay ng dating secretary pero kailangan lalo nilang busisiin ito. Kung ano ang totoo sana iyon ang tuklasin nila, maaring sangkot nga siya o maari din namang wala talaga siyang kinalaman sa salaping nawawala. Sana maging aral ito sa lahat at wag din sanang pamarisan ang ginawang pagpapakamatay ano pa man ang maging rason ay di ito tama sa mata man ng tao o ng ating maykapal.

Sa mga naiwang kaanak ng nasawing heneral...kami po ay lubos na nakikisimpatiya sa pangyayaring ito. May his soul rest in peace!

Paano na?

Helllo once again. Masyadong natengga ang aking site na ito during kasagsagan na kinakaharap nating krisis. My hands are full ika nga. Di ko maisingit yung aking post samantalang ang iba eh talagang inuumaga sa pgbblog ng hinggil sa mga isyung nagdaan. Gaya ng hostage drama na aking talagang tinutukan. Di na ako nakihati pa sa trending nito. Grabe. Intense drama na nagwakas sa di maganda. Di naging maganda ang pagtanggap ng bansang sangkot sa trahedya. May malalim silang dahilan. Ilang buhay ang naibuwis. Sana nnaiwasan ito kung naging maingat at d padalos dalos na desisyon. Sa dame ng nangelam at nagmarunong. Di ko alam bakit di sinangguni ang bihasa sa hostage deal at isang numero unong sharp shooter na si Judge Jaime Santiago. OO nakita ko kung paano niya nalutas ang (ayon din ito sa kanyang pagpapatotoo) anim (6) sa 20 kasong hinawakan niya. Isa itong kwentong totoo at natunghayan ng marami. Ako mismo ay naabutan ko yun. Lalo yung isang alaking hostage ang isang batang walang muwang. Sa tanda ko ay napatay niya yung hostage taker, di lang malinaw sa alaala ko kung ito'y anak niya. Ginamit ni Judge Santiago ang isang butas ng pako upang matiyak at masigurong di masasaktan ang bata. Sapol ika nga ng salitang kalye. Tapos ang drama.
Bakit di rin naisangguni ito ke Senator Bong? Na syang tumulong makipag ayos sa isang nagmamay ari ng eskwelahang pangbata? Na humostage sa isang bus ding ay lulan na mga batang paslit? Naayos yun at ngayon ay nakakalaya na ang naturang hostage taker.
Yung galit ng mga Hogkongers ay may katuturan. Sapagka't ang layunin ng kababayan nila ay mag enjoy at maging masaya upang tunghayan ang mga natatanging lugar sa ating bansa, hatid nito ang pagpasok ng dolyar gaya bawa't sinumang turistang pumasok dito. Yung pala'y isang malagim na kikitil ng kanilang buhay. Ang pagkamatay nila ay ay isang kapabayaan at pagkukulang sa sektor ng gobyerno. Aminin man nila o hindi. Walang kasanayan. Kulang talaga. Ngayon lang sila ulit kikilos ngayong tayo'y sentro ng panghuhusga.
Okey tapos na yan at marami ng naisulat. Eto na naman ang isang kapalpakan? Ang maling paglalagay ng pangalan sa mga patay na naiuwi na pabalik sa Hongkong. Talaga namang uusok ang ilong ng sinumang makaranas niyan. Iyak ka ng iyak ehdi naman pala yun ang kanyang mahal sa buhay na nasawi? Wow mali di ba? Nakakahiya talaga. Yung katwiran sa pagkakamalingyun eh napakahirap sabihin sa mga Chinese na talagang diretsahan nagsasabi ng paghuhusga nila sa ating kapalpakan.

HERE'S MY TAKE...Nasaan ang pondong dapat nakalaan sa ating kapulisan? Paano makakapagsanay ang mga yan kung walang pondong itutustos sa kanila? Ang pangyayaring ito'y parang baptism of fire sa ating bagong pinuno. Sana'y maiba siya sa mga opisyal na pagpayaman lang ang inisip, hindi ang para sa ating bayan...at sa kapakanan ng nakakarami. Ngayon tilanapakalaki tuloy katanungan kung paano maisasalba ang relasyon ng Pilipinas at ng bansang China? Wala sa aming taong bayan yan...kundi sa mga pinuno ng ating bansa. Kami'y simpleng nasa likod lang ng bawa't opisyal na aming pinagaksayahan ng aming boto.Kaya tama sabi ni P-NOY, AKO ANG BOSS NINYO! Kaya dapat sila sila gumawa ng paraan paano manunumbalik ang payapang relasyon natin sa mga luhaang Chino.

Batas sa kalsada...busisiing mabuti

2010-07-10T07:07:00.001-07:00

Yey,wala ng wang wang...wala ng mala-VIP sa kalsada. Well kung isa kang commuter o driver ng sarili mong sasakyan, athabang masikip angtrapiko at may maririnig kang wang wang sa likuran mo eh maiinis ka rin db? Bakit tilasila napakaimportante at kailangan na paunahin natin sa kalsada. Pwera na lang sana kung emergency gaya ng ambulansya...okey lang sana. Kaya hats off ako sa unang salbo ni P-noy na tanggalin ang mga wang wang na yan. La namang silbi yan talaga sa kalsada eh...nakaka-distractlang talaga siya at pangyabang lang karaniwan sa kapwa. Kainis lang. Ultimo traysikel eh me wang wang...na tila ka pa nenerbyusin at kung ano na yun...kaya pabor ako dyan, na ipagbawal ag wang wang na yan! Maigi langsana kung presidente ang gagamit niyan okey pa.
Siguro dapat ding i-imlement ang malaking multa kapag nahuling driving without DL, o kaya DUIL [Driving Under the Influence of Liquor], o yung nakainom eh nagdadrive pa. At mas lalo kung naka-drugs. Naku yan ang tutukan...sanhi ng mga aksidente yan.

Puro na naman pangako...

2010-04-11T20:52:00.000-07:00

Ano bang meron sa pulitika at napakaraming gustong tumakbo? Simple lang, the power...and that means easy access sa negosyo, pera, and almost everything you could ever wish for. E di ba magkano lang ang income ng presidente? Sana naman eh meron pa ring naghahangad ng mabuting governance upang makatulong isulong ang magagandang batas para sa nakakarami, at unahing mapaunlad ang bansa, at maiahon ang mga kababayang lugmok sa hirap. At hindi yung pangsariling hangad lang ang hawak. Sa una lahat ipapangako, pero mas lamang ang mapako. Puro scam at lahat naman ng investigation eh still hanging. Yan ay dahil sa mga padre-padrino.

May the bests who deserve ...win!

Cocktail of criticism...

2010-02-04T15:47:00.000-08:00

That famous..."What kind of government is this?!!!" Naku di po ako ang nagsabi niyan, I just quoted one senator who was then foaming while in session di ba? Oo nga naman...bakit tila nagsasayaw sila sa halo halong musika?

Now,Lacson in the hiding or just taking time to smell the roses together with his dearest wife at nagkataon lang na may warrant nga ba siya. Am not sure kas the past few days ay Plants vs Zombies na ang pinagkaabalahan ko, why not...di pa ako stress. On the news now as headlines having Cezar Mancao II and Glenn Dumlao's testimonies pinning down their former boss of the defunct PAOTF. Their words against Lacson. Now where does this trip put Lacson's integrity as a duly elected senator? Would it indict him more? Ano kayang masasabi ni Thirdie dito if ever na the boy knows how to read na? Poor little boy, maka-lolo pa naman ata. Well an accusation will just remain as it is sans the benefit of the court's decision, so kailangan talaga ng trial to prove your evidences na you're not guilty of anything or else you will remain a fugitive with all those cases hurled against you. Kaso may mga pagkakataon naman siguro na you'll fear for your life and of those your loved ones di ba? Look what happened in Maguindanao where vendetta-like killing has surmounted in just one click...parang pumatay lang ng langaw. And what ever happen to the amassed arsenal? Have they proven it to be under the care of the Ampatuan's? Now yung kay Villar mainit pa rin, the C5 scam...about the road right of way. Speaking of local government's obligation to pay for road right of way na mga tinamaan due to road widening...but in our case wala po siyang road...nilagyan lang to be an easy access for road users. Ang aming pong hindi naman kalakihan compared sa lote ni Villar na ubod ng laki, ay hindi pa po kami nakaka-receieved ng compensation para dito samantalang matagal tagal ng pinakikinabangan ito ng maraming mamamayan sa Taytay o kahit nino man. Still nasa akin pa po ang titulo ng private alley na nasa pangalan naming magkakapatid. I remember na nagbabayad ako ng buwis ay hindi muna ako pinagbabayad dahil aayusin daw yung usapan hinggil dito. Ilang taon na kaming punta ng punta sa municipal hall ng Taytay hanggang nalipat na nga ito sa Manila East Club. Ayun...nagsawa ako sa kaka-follow up. Wala kang makuhang magandang feedback. Samantalang nauna kaming maghain ng appeal kasabay namin ang Taytay United Methodist Church sa opisina ng aming konsehal na si Atoy Valle upang humingi ng tulong. Nothing is doing. Puro follow up lang. Nakakapagod. Habang ang aming lupa ay patuloy na pinakikinabangan ng maraming tao. Someone in the hall told me na ewan kung in jest, "i-donate nyo na lang kaya" ...in my mind...ano ka hilo? I quipped, hindi po kami mayaman para magdonate...matagal din naman namin yan pinagbayad ng buwis, basta na lang nila sinemento at ginamit...sighhhhh. I don't know if what my friend in the hall who whispered to me then na may budget na daw noon pang pumupunta ako don...ma at pa kung san yun napunta. Wheeew!
Hawak ko nga title wala namang palang saysay. Naku napalayo ang aking subject, tila naging personal na ako...my bad. Nabanggit ko lang dahil sa road right of way...nasabi pang private alley. Well...di bale sana kung maipangalan man lang ito sa namayapa naming magulang. Pwede itong maging Naval-Aquino Road...why not, am proud of my folks. Or my lola...Donya Rufina Naval-Aquino...lawl...tunog mayaman, ewan ko yan kasi nakita ko in the wake when I was still in my teens. Sana naman mabigyan ng kahit konting malasakit ng gobyerno ng Taytay ang aming lolo at lola kung saan namin ito namana. My poor old folks...their mites of freedom was just ignored til their last...[no offense meant here, freedom of expression lang po].
Kumusta naman kaya ang result ng ZTE scandal?
Hay naku napakaraming issue. Kaya ako eh pasumandaling nahahaling sa paglalaro ng Plants vs Zombies eh. Stress buster nga sabe ni Harry. Truly enjoyable...and nasa 4-7 level na ako. Will play after this post... cheers! Kaya ayoko ng politics eh...magulo pa sila sa zombies na kalaban ko. Tara...[say ni Gibo]... :)

While browsing the music of Jason Ivler, this thing just popped out in front of my eyes, so I click it curiously to know the truth of the matter. Everyone knows Mareng Winnie and of course Igan. Let's watch this...

The aftermath...

2010-01-20T06:45:00.001-08:00

Mother's lament...

2010-01-20T04:12:00.000-08:00

She became a lightning rod for criticisms after coddling her own son they say when Jason Ivler was finally caught after a shoot out with NBI men in their Blue Ridge home. The mother Marlene Aguilar once told the police that her son might have had fled in Hawaii already on the pretext that she had no knowledge to her son's whereabouts. Jason was found inside her house thus slapping her mom with an obstruction of justice case.

A mother will always be a mother so they say. Jason has to face the consequence of his actions no matter what the mother feels right now. Remember the other mother who have lost his son after Jason killed him in an altercation due to road rage.

Minsan ang pagpapakita ng sobrang pagmamahal sa anak ay nawawala yung essence ng pagtutok nito sa kaayusan ng bata paglaki. Dapat tayong mga magulang ay maging tunay na mapagmatyag sa kilos ng ating mga anak lalo pa't hindi natin ito nababantayan ng lubusan. Maaring naliligaw na pala ito ng landas or naiimpluwensyahan ng mga bagay na makakapagbigay sa kanya ng ibang kaisipan sa mga bagay bagay. Dasal at patnubay o gabay ang dapat nating ibigay sa kanila hindi lang materyal na bagal. Mas mainam kung balanse ang lahat upang maging mulat ang kanyang kaisipan kung paano ang takbo ng tunay na buhay at hindi ang mabuhay sa isang pantasya gaya ng napapanood natin sa mga pelikula. Mahirap ang maging isang ina...maganda man o pangit ang kalakihan ng bata, sa ina pa rin ang bagsak ng sisi lao't gaya ng kinasadlakan ngayon ng buhay ni Jason. Magpasalamat na lang si Marlene at buhay pa ang anak niya di gaya ng inang naiwan ni Ebarle Jr. na patuloy na binibiyak ang puso sa pagkawala ng kanyang pinakamamahal na anak. Maging bukas sana sa isip ni Marlene na nagkasala ang anak niya kaya dapat harapin nito ang kanyang pagkakamaling nagawa.

Always do remember that any unpleasant behavior we may have done, will always come back to bite us later.

Let the chips fall...

Galit na lumakad palayo si Ely Pamatong at kalaunay nagsalita ito ng "magnanakaw kayo!" sa Comelec Commissioners na naging kadahilanan upang siya'y arestuhin at ipakulong sumandali ng poll body sa sampung araw mula ngayon. Naging ugat nito nang bansagan siyang "nuisance candidate" at kanina'y habang dinidinig ng Comission on Election ang pagdisqualify sa mga ibang kandidato para sa top post ay nagalit ito at nagwalk out at nagpakawala ng matapang na "magnanakaw kayo!" Sa kasong direct contempt kaya inaresto siya at dinala sa Manila City Jail sa utos ni Commissioner Nicodemo Ferrer. Sampung araw na walang piyansa ang ipinataw sa kanya at agad din naman itong humingi ng paumanhin at nadala lang daw siya ng matinding emosyon kaya niya nasabi ang mga salitang yun. Hay naku...matindi talaga di ba? Sino ang makakalimot sa kanyang matinding "spike attack" na nagpasingaw ng magy isang daang humigit na gulong sa Maynila noong taong 2004? And once gave Pres. Arroyo an ultimatum that he'd burn schools if she doesn't step down from her post. And some time against the Pope and the Catholic church for "disturbance of public order, swindling and teaching immoral doctrines."

Wheew! That's something hard to explain. What do we have if he'll be our next president?
Okey, next topic!!!

Haiti is indeed in bad shape! And what a way to start the year. No one expected things will be this way. But it's a good indication that there's still a lot of love spreading around specially if something like this happen. Haiti is really going through a lot since the traumatic damage of that January 10, 2010 earthquake with magnitude 7, that gave them a real shake and stunning anguish and pain to those who have lost their loved ones. The smell of casualties in rigor mortiz and still some rotting under the gigantic rubbles are whiffing in the air that adds up to their agony. The statistics are beyond imagination that it came up to be the worst disaster ever. Many countries are so eagerly sending troops, aids, foods and in any way they can to show love, care, compassion with so much great humanitarian concern.

Capital:

Port-au-Prince

Population:

9,035,536 (July 2009 est.)

I posted the uncensored video of the Maguindanao Massacre aftermath...on my facebook account but I decided to remove this for one reason...hindi ko makayanan tingnan because of the evilish way of dying in the hands of I-don't-know-what-to-call-them...I mean the culprits. I snagged it from Rapa Lopa's fb. It helps to get justice to see this horrible accounts after it was squealed, kanino pa kungdi sa mga kasamahan din nila or whatever na hindi makayanan ng kanilang kunsensya ang nasaksihang krimen...the real crime of the century ika nga. Grabe...up to now hindi pa maka-recover ang lahat sa pangyayaring ito. Tinututukan talaga pati ang mga kaganapan sa korte paglilitis ng mga nasasakdal. Kung ang pagpapakita nito ay malaking tulong para makuha ang hustisya...by all means dito ko po ilalagay ang nasabing unedited video na ito na napakabigat para sa lahat ang mapanood ang ganitong walang awang kalagayan ng ating mga inosenteng kababayan.

Sino ang hindi aasam sa tamang hustisya kapag napanood ang tagpong ito?

Let's all pray for JUSTICE!

In hot seat?!

Medyo late reaction ako sa lahat ng issue ngayon dahil sa Boracay trip namin this holidays. I haven't read everything about this Cebu Pacific brouhaha, but if this is true, I think they need to make it up and issue a public apology sa mag-ina. Masakit ito para sa isang ina...lalo't may kakaibang kundisyon ang isang anak. Di ba mas lalo nating dapat silang bigyan ng espesyal na pagtrato?

But on the other hand, Cebu Pacific din ang aming sinakyan patungong Kalibo at pabalik ng Manila nitong nakaraang linggo at maayos naman ang treatment sa amin. Mabuti na lang kasi hindi sila makakaligtas sa aking mabilis na komento kung nagkataon. Nakaugalian na nilang magbigay ng munting games for the passengers para malibang sa byahe sa himpapawid. At mapalad ang ate aya ko na makuha ang isa sa 3 premyo.

Got it!

PS/Going back, will have to read all news about what happened and will post my stand on this...

Give some love on Christmas Day!

Yesterday I happened to pass by Cainta Gymnasium...correct me if am wrong here. Saw some people whom houses for sure were ruined by Ondoy still there as evacuees. With the christmasy air they still look withdrawn and reticent. My heart goes to them because at least we have managed to gather ourselves from whatever Ondoy left us. We're still luckier than others. I just hope the local government of Cainta share a little to those people who are less fortunate. They gathered outside the gym washing their clothes, taking a bath there without a strand of privacy and saw a very big plastic blue tank that serves as a cistern where water is available for the victims.

Naisagawa na ang sapilitang evacuation sa paligid ng bulkan [living within the eight-kilometer extended danger zone] dahil sa pangambang pagsabog nito. Kung iispin ay nakakalungkot dahil magpapasko pa naman. Well...ganyan talaga ang buhay. Pagkatapos ng Ondoy, ginimbal tayo ng Maguindanao Massacre, ngayon naman ay napipintong pagsabog ng bulkang Mayon.

Masaya ito. Kasi tinaggap ng buong tapang ng QC-RTC Judge Jocelyn Solis-Reyes ang pagdinig ng kaso ng mga Ampatuan na tinanggihan ni Judge Luisito Cortez. "What is glory without a family!" Mas lalo din akong humanga sa kanyang firm decision at di niya kinatakutan ang maaring negative reaction against his part. Mabuhay ka Judge Cortez! Hindi naman po ito karuwagan na matatawag. Eh kanya kanya lang tayo ng palagay at paniniwala. Dahil kung ako rin yan eh mas malamang na tanggihan ko kahit pa malalagay ako sa kasaysayan ng Pilipinas. Never kong isipin na ilagay ang aking pamilya sa ano mang karahasan o peligro. Pero marami rin talaga ang humanga sa tindi ng katapangan ni Judge Reyes. At isa din ako don. Kaya mabuhay ka rin Judge Reyes. At mind you tumanggi siyang pansamantala sa ibinibigay sa kanyang proteksyon. Hindi pa raw naman napapanahon. Marami ang t'yak na tututok sa kasong ito na tinaguriang Crime of the Century. Sa mundong ito kahanga hanga ang mga taong gaya nila na naninindigan sa kanilang paniwala at kakayahan. Iba iba lang talaga ang ating set of priorities. Let's just pray na maging safe ang bawa't isang magkakaroon ng makabuluhang partisipasyon sa pagdinig ng kasong ito. Hats off ako sa dalawang ito.

Mabuhay kayo!

Martial Law on Maguindanao: A good faith error?

2009-12-16T15:03:00.000-08:00

MDS says: I am also voting to revoke because at present the president already possesses sufficient power to meet the emergencies raised by the Maguindanao massacre. She is already commander-in-chief; if you are commander-in-chief, you just go down the line and hit on the head with the butt of your rifle every general you can and say “Why don’t you do your proper jobs?”, “Why do I have to do this?”, “Why did you ever allow the situation to develop into critical proportions?”. Ano sila, mga duwag? Takot silang lahat eh. Either takot sila o binayaran sila.

PS/ Sapat na nga naman ang kapangyarihan ng isang presidente o pinuno para suriin at pigilan ang gaya ng nangyari sa Maguindanao. Sana naagapan ito kundi man ay malipol agad ang may sala. Kahabag habag naman ang mga naging biktima. Kaya ako eh ni panaginip di sumagi sa isip ko ang masama sa pulitika. Una di ako ma-PR na tao. Talo na agad ako jan. Pangalawa di ko kayang pumatay. Pareho kami ni MDS...gadfly-like magbigay ng criticism kung kailangan para maituwid ang mali kahit kalaban ka ng marami. At lieast mapuna man lang ang kamalian. Nasa tao yun kung gusto mong itama ang mali o manatiling mali ka for your own personal gain.

Filipino's will never grow tired of hoping for the best to come!

Never Gonna Give You Up!

I love MDS!

An excerpt only [Transcript of Sen. Santiago's interview after filing her certificate of candidacy with the Comelec - 27 November 2009]

The act of massacre is in effect steeping with impunity in the face of the rule of law. Can you imagine that in the 21st Century, someone has the mentality to prepare well in advance the murder of at least 57 people and the destruction of several vehicles and expects to get away with impunity without any criminal liability? This is Neanderthal brutality. We could accept it if it happened among cave people or among cavemen. But we cannot accept that it has happened in the 21st century.

In case of doubt, because of the beastly manner in which the clan has perpetuated, I think that the better choice should be between two crimes, the higher crime, or the bigger crime should be written in the complaint. Anyway, there’s nothing binding about tagging it as a case of multiple murders of war because the prosecution is always free to amend the complaint even without authority by the judge before the accused enter his plea.

And also, I wish to emphasize that not only the principal suspect should be treated as principals in the crime of terrorism but also the members of the police and perhaps of the military. Under the Anti-Terrorism Act or the Human Security Act of 2007, they should already have conducted surveillance because even the civilians knew of the impending catastrophic disaster. They should have followed the law and made a written application to a certain division of the Court of Appeals to be given authority to set aside the anti-wiretapping law. They could have conducted surveillance including tapping the wires of the suspects and they could have prevented this massacre. They actually deferred to do so. Everybody knew about it except perhaps these policemen. If I were a doctor, I would charge them with being blind, deaf, and mute, but you see they are not, so they should be immediately investigated for their own criminal liability and not just preventive suspension—for what?! the people are dead!—for failing to comply with their duties under law, for failing to provide surveillance since it was already widespread knowledge in the entire province that people were going to die, and in fact, that they were going to the first backhoe massacre in the history of the world. They should have immediately taken the complaint to the Court of Appeals and simply file a written application.

That is a suspicion that cannot be avoided. As a former RTC judge, I have to remind myself and the public that we must keep an open mind because everyone enjoys a presumption of innocence. But since there were already intimations particularly from the Ampatuan clan that they were going to do something drastic not only with the safety but also with the lives of their political opponents, it was incumbent upon the police and the military to have stopped this impending catastrophe. If they had only done their job I think those people, if it were not a crime, should be made to stand and watch as a backhoe digs a grave for all these military.

Watch this!

Another True Heroe [Time Magazine 2009 Top 10 Heroes]

2009-12-14T14:26:00.000-08:00

Muelmar Magallanes, was a construction worker at the age of 18 who braved the surging flood water during the height of Typhoon Ondoy... was given an award but he wasn't anywhere to receive it because he was found dead after saving many lives during the Ondoy flashflood. Believed to have had saved more than 30 people, young and old...but unluckily...got too tired, soaked and shivering, he then was swept away by the torrents of heavy rain and surging floodwater. The mother welled, and with heavy heart received the award for his son. Neighbors found his body together with 28 others who perished from that strong epic flood.

Time also cited Afghan journalist Sultan Munadi, banker Leonard Abess, activist Tan Zuoren, University of California police officers Lisa Campbell and Ally Jacobs, civilian police officers Kimberley Munley and Mark Todd, Mike Perham, Neda Agha-Soltan, ship captain Richard Phillips who escaped from Somali pirates, and pilot Capt. Chesley Sullenberger who landed his crippled jetliner safely in the Hudson River in New York City.

"The president is not a part of the solution, she's part of the problem...she is the problem" - What a brave statement coming from a brave person that he is. Such honorable personality like that of Bello wowed the televiewers watching the news like me for his boldness, but honestly his opinion is quite right in time.

One time, I browsed Bello's CV...and I was greatly surprised, couldn't help but admire this person for that outstanding achievements and enormous participation [mostly being invited as speaker] around the world. To this I bow...and bow. I wonder if he has any political plans and why not?

Take part and express yourselves more...

For that... Kudoz! we can make this country well and conducive if only people in their posts have enough conscience and faith in the Lord...what money can do to some people...is inevitable. imagine lahat ng pananalapi natin na naibubulsa ng magagaling natin opisyales...we're talking 'bout billions of pesos here. sana makita nila yung paghihirap ng iba nating kababayan...it's scary sometimes na we elected pala some goons with killer instincts. beast on the loose wearing sheepskin. my god...some people are...
so, when i saw the way how japanese live their lives there...i grew sad and disgusted with the way a lot of people in my own country live like rats...there i saw my japanese friends and okasan [mother] and many others who live in a decent way where hunger is nowhere to be found, eating sumptuous meal with strict balanced diet...and lots of fruits jumbled on the table, my heart cried in pain...

Punish the killers...

Matagal na tayong nakikipaglaban for some justice...but nothing doing i guess, all we need is to hone down or much so to snuff the greed of power in the government, so to stop corruption...but how? always a failure ...i wonder why and how they become evil while serving the nation...like what happened in mindanao. why are they keeping such huge arsenal...what for? to kill their rival? and what happen to the media's immunity against this act? ang walang habas na pagpatay ay isang gawain ng isang mala-demonyong isipan at hindi makatao. dapat wala rerun, pagnaserve na ang term ng opisyal tama na...dahil inaari nila ang bansa...akala nila isa na silang diyos. pag may clinging ...tyak andun ang masamang intensyon ng isang pamunuan. they'll work their a#s up to stay, at any cost! their behavior is a clear cut example of megalomania or delusions of grandeur...dapat siguro all officials who will run should be examined thoroughly first by a dang good shrink before they file their COC, lest everything will just [always] fall into the ruts...all rats!

They put themselves up the river without paddles...

If they are the real culprits [if they are proven beyond any reasonable doubt] behind the gruesome Mindanao carnage...they are in big big trouble. That is, if fair and due justice is [will be] served. Too many hands ruined the plan and thus deliberately upset their applecart. Too many evidences were left gleaned by authorities after they scampered away and gone hiding with clipped wings. Now some are questioning the declaration of Martial Law in Mindanao. Was it another too late the hero or an overkill? Which is which...but we cannot turn back the hands of time and bring back the lives of those poor victims who suffered a lot in the hands of their executioner. That was grim and grisly way of meeting death head on.

Nasa matinding pagsusuri ngayon ang kasalukuyang gobyerno dahil sa nagdaang Maguindanao Massacre. Hindi maiwasang maipit ang ating pamunuan lalo pa't kaalyansa nila ang mga Ampatuan na primary suspect sa pamamaslang sa karumal dumal na lagim na ito. Puno ng hinagpis ang mga pamilyang naging biktima sa pangyayaring ito. Halos hindi maidesribe ng mga saksi kung paano ang tinamong hirap nila sa kamay ng mga perpetrators. Ito na ang pinaka sa lahat ng kaganapan ng walang habas na pagpatay at di pagkilala sa mga mediamen ng ating bansa. Nagluluksa ngayon ang mga pamilya ng mga biktima at di natin alam kung paano nila padadaanin ang kapaskuhan at pagpasok ng bagong taon. Sa panahong ito ay dasal ang maiaalay natin sa kanila.

"If Mohammed cannot go to the mountain..."

2009-11-26T08:21:00.000-08:00

Nakauwi na po siya bitbit ang napakalaking tagumpay at karangalan bilang CNN's Heroe of the Year ! Wow, kahit ano pa ang nangyayaring di maganda sa ating bansa sa kasalukuyan ay may nakakapagpangiti pa rin sa ating pangyayari tulad ng tinamo ni Pacquiao at ngayon nama'y ni Efren Peñaflorida. Ito ay sa matiyaga niyang pagganap ng mabuting adhikaing makatulong sa mga street children at out of school youth, at bigyan sila ng gabay na maturuan at mahutok sa tamang daan. Isang payak na guro na mas pinili ang magtulak ng kariton bitbit ang kasabihang, "If Mohammed cannot go to the mountain...bring the mountain to Mohhamed"

He bags the top award via his Dynamic Teen Company. He said to give the awarded money to the church and to the Dynamic Teen Company, and nothing will go to his pocket. Hero nga talaga. What a dynamic decision to help and inspires the world for being so simple yet so extraordinary.

To you Efren... KUDOS! May your tribe increase!

A clean-cut case of Guns, Goons and Gold?!

Am very vocal that I practically hate politics because in my own point of view it's like a central stage or a field full of hypocrisy not to generalize it [kawawa naman yung may tunay at wagas na intensyon...sana they thrive pa]. It's full of conflicting ideas. Full of constructive [well...] as much as destructive criticisms in order to bolster their own. Wouldn't it be possible for the public officials to be working together for the sake of their people who elected them and put them to their mighty posts? Why is it so impossible if they work hand in hand to the betterment of the country we loved so much? Life is so short so let us not waste every minute of it, lest you want our country to be doomed to hostility and possible famine and poverty. It's nearly to happen or it is happening now?

Like what is happening now in Maguindanao. The gruesome massacre investigation stirred up a hornet's nest. What kind of human soul they've got to have done this mass killing? Imagine those people unarmed, expecting nothing but their desire to serve their people in their own little way, but have had met their final hours without a hint that they will be whipped up to death. Poor souls. The media's immunity has narrowed down and they might be losing this in the end. This sorrowful hours in the hand of the culprits whoever they are, is just condemnable in the eyes of God and the people too. There's no way to compensate the sorrow brought by this event. I myself want to express my condolences to the people who are in harrowing sorrow and misfortune. It is not too much to honestly say that while doing this post I'm teary-eyed because Christmas is just around the corner and am so sure they were planning it also with a bang. Now the scenario is...their family will be spending it in gray and with daggers in their hearts. I wonder how they gonna spend the season. Really, my heart goes with the bereaved family of the victims. May their souls rest in peace.

That's why for me I live each day. And I've learned and chose to live in the moment. Because no one knows what will happen next...

Isang malawakang pagtugis ang ginagawa ngayon sa isang Amerikanong suspect sa pagbaril at naging dahilan ng pagkamatay ng isang anak ni Usec Renato Ebarle. Naging negatibo rin ang paghahanap sa bahay ng kanyang tiyuhing si Freddie Aguilar at sa isang British national na si Steve Pollard.na kanyang step-father. Sinusuyod talaga ng PNP ang mga posibleng pagtaguan ni Jason Ivler dala ang CGI na nagmatch sa kanyang litrato ayon na rin sa mga pagbibigay salaysal ng mga witnesses. Sana sa isang may gamit ng diplomat plate maging makatwiran sila sa lahat ng bagay lalo na't sila ay nabibigyan ng karapatan o immunity sa ibang bagay. Wa nating itong abusuhin. Dahil hindi lahat ay nabibigyan ng ganitong pagkakataon.
Ayon sa pulisya ito ay naituring ng fugitive sa kadahilanang hindi siya umaattend ng hearing sa isa pang kinaugnayan nyang kaso noong 2004. Isa din itong banggan sa kalye nanaging dahilan ng pagkamatay ng kaisa isang anak na lalake ni P.A. for Resettlement Nestor Ponce Jr. Tumakas si Ivler patungong Malaysia. Si Pollard ay asawa ng nakakabatang kapatid ni Freddie Aguilar. Magkatulong na ang PNP at kagawaran ng NBI sa pagtugis kay Jason Ivler. Sa launching ng kanyang nobelang Warriors of Heaven na ginanap sa CCP, nagsalita ang ina ni Jason na "I say if you are guilty I beg you with all my heart to surrender and face this" "If you are guilty then I have accepted your death." Sa sang inang nasa ganitong pagsubok ay tila wala ng mas bibigat pa sa nakaambang haharapin nito sa ginawa niyang kasalanan...kung mapatunayang totoo nga itong lahat. Sapagka't may batas tayong lilitis kung ano ang tunay at totoo. Sana ang ating hustisya ay hindi mabahiran ng anumang kulay ng pulitika. I just hope...dahil kung magkagayon man, ano pa ang ating aasahan?

Hindi rin natin maipapasantabi ang kalungkutan ng pamilya Ebarle, lalo na ang nanay na talagang nag-palaki at nag-aruga sa kanya. Dalawang mukha ng ina ang may dalang lungkot sa pangyayaring ito. Isang ina ng namatay na anak at isang ina ng inuusig ng batas diumano.

TRUE COLOR is back!

Yup! Actually this is a spin off...or say a quick offshoot of my 1st and original True Color, which was hacked so many months or a year ago na. Since I have had no idea why I couldn't personally log in every time I tried to...now am quite sure why. There's a reason of course. I cannot tell why or how it's done. I don't know how to retrieve it so I made this one. I love every blog I created and I couldn't possibly ignore not to make some repair to salvage it. So here it is!

If you want to see the first part of this just go to my primary site and click the True Colors just above my posts. And you're there in just one click. Use this...Cakes and ale
