Wandering Blogger: A Little Self Restraint My President, Rodrigo Roa ... : The President is a great influencer. An  influencer is a person that has the ability to influence the behaviors or opinions of others. Yes...

The President is a great influencer. An  influencer is a person that has the ability to influence the behaviors or opinions of others. Yes, the President is a great influencer by virtue of his position as the President of the Republic of the Philippines. President Rodrigo Roa Duterte is also an outspoken person. An outspoken person is a person that expresses his strong opinions very directly without worrying if other people will be upset by them. His latest controversial issue is about calling God Stupid which I believe is out of proportion and will mislead millions of his listeners. In his early speech, the President narrated the "Creation Story" in his own version thus deriving the conclusion that God is stupid because he cannot rationalized or comprehend it. The president forgotten the fact that God is beyond comprehension. In his one-liner opening salvo and I quote, "WHO IS THIS STUPID GOD?" It is clear, direct, and precise that the subject

IT IS FUN TO LEARN THAT EVEN CITIES RENEWED THEIR VOWS OR COMMITMENT TO EACH OTHER. YESTERDAY, THE CITY OF DAVAO REPRESENTED BY MAYOR SARAH DUTERTE-CARPIO AND THE QUEZON CITY REPRESENTED BY MAYOR HERBERT M. BAUTISTA RENEWED THEIR TWENTY FOUR (24) YEARS OF RELATIONSHIP AS SISTER CITIES.  PR20CC-948 - A RESOLUTION REESTABLISHING THE SISTER-CITY  RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE QUEZON CITY GOVERNMENT AND THE CITY GOVERNMENT OF DAVAO AND FURTHER AUTHORIZING THE HONORABLE CITY MAYOR TO SIGN THE SISTER-CITY RENEWAL AGREEMENT.

AS I PASS BY, I SAW A GROUP OF PEOPLE DISCUSSING ABOUT THE EFFICACY OF MARRIAGE. SOME MEMBERS OF THE GROUP SAYS THAT MARRIAGE OR WEDDING DONE IN THE CHURCH IS MUCH MUCH BETTER COMPARED TO THE MARRIAGE OR WEDDING DONE OUTSIDE THE CHURCH OR ADMINISTERED BY GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS SUCH AS MAYORS AND JUDGES.  BUT MARRIAGE WHETHER OFFICIATED BY A PRIEST OR OTHER AUTHORIZED RELIGIOUS PERSONALITIES OR BY CIVIL AUTHORITIES HAS THE SAME WEIGHT AND EFFICACY. MARRIAGE WILL REMAIN THE MOST POWERFUL COVENANT IN THE WORLD TODAY. THIS MONTH OF JUNE, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO OFFICIATE FREE MASS WEDDING SPONSORED BY COUNCILOR RAMON P. MEDALLA, DUBBED AS THE NINONG NG BAYAN, CO-SPONSORED BY COUNCILOR GIAN CARLO SOTTO AND VICE MAYOR JOY BELMONTE. ONE IN BARANGAY PAYATAS AND THE OTHER ONE IS IN BARANGAY COMMONWEALTH BOTH BARANGAYS BELONG TO THE 2ND DISTRICT OF QUEZON CITY.

A LONE RANGER! YES HE IS A LONE RANGER! THIS IS WHAT I DESCRIBE COUNCILOR RANULFO LUDOVICA OF QUEZON CITY’S 2 ND DISTRICT IN HIS FEARLESS STAND TO DEFEND THE CITY’S 2018 SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET AMOUNTING TO MORE THAN FIVE BILLION PESOS. BY DEFINITION A SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET IS AN ACT APPROPRIATING FUNDS IN ADDITION TO ALREADY ENACTED IN AN ANNUAL APPROPRIATION ACT. SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION PROVIDES ADDITIONAL BUDGET AUTHORITY USUALLY IN CASES WHERE THE NEEDS FOR FUNDS IS TOO URGENT TO BE POSTPONED UNTIL ENACTMENT OF THE REGULAR APPROPRIATION BILL. BY THE WAY, THE ANNUAL APPROVED BUDGET OF THE QUEZON CITY GOVERNMENT FOR 2018 IS 19-BILLION PESOS.                                                       ON THIS NOTE, COUNCILOR LUDOVICA QUESTIONED THE TIMING OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET AND IF THERE IS AN URGENCY TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL BUDGET AUTHORITY TO THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH BY PASSING A SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET APPROPRIATION. AS COUNCILOR RANULFO LUDOVICA GO THROUGH THE DOCUME
