People join group for numerous reasons. Giving satisfaction is one of the major reasons why individual join a particular group. In the case of Honorable Councilor Karl Castelo, a member of the Majority Group of the 19 th Quezon City Council who transferred to the Minority Group, I presumed that he found this sense of personal satisfaction which he is unable to get from the previous group which he belong. Rightfully said, the new Leadership of the Minority group offered him a sensible position, the Chairmanship of the Committee on Energy, Water and other Natural Resources. However, we should bear in mind that any transfer of membership from one group to another must be in accordance with the highest ethical standard. The transferee shall properly notify his previous group in letter signifying his intention of leaving the group. Second, the transferee should seek the approval of the group and convince them that accepting him as a new member is the right thing they did and they

The May 13, 2013 Philippine National and Local election is almost over. Winners in the local level has been proclaimed. Local and National candidates use various tricks and magic just to ensure their winnability by all costs and means. Rumors spread in all corners of the Philippine archipelago unmasking the tricks and magic used by certain candidates. The famous line now is "Daang Matuwid" which was popularized by President Pinoy versus "Limang Daan" offered by crooked politicians for vote buying. Some resorted to "Patawag" it is a gathering of leaders for no other purpose but to buy their support for a certain candidates. For some this trick work but not for others. I am sure there are other tricks and magic better than these that you know but a good name cannot be pinned down.  Once your good name and reputation was tinted by these dirty tricks and magic your political career will be over. Let me remind the winning candidates that

I NEED TO MOTIVATE MYSELF TO FIGHT THIS STRANGE FEELING WITHIN ME AND CONVINCE MYSELF THAT I NEED TO WRITE AGAIN. I BELIEVE MY READERS ARE VERY EAGER ANTICIPATING MY NEXT WRITE UP. CLIMATE CHANGE IS A BY-WORD NOW AND ECO-WARRIORS WAS BORN TO RESTORE THE FAST DETERIORATING PLANET EARTH.

@ valtesar Hi valtesar! Thanks for featuring us on your terrific blog. But take note we are now officially known as Airphil Express, FYI. :) — PAL Express (@airphilexpress) August 19, 2011 TODAY, WHILE READING A NEWSPAPERS, I MEET A NEW WORD THAT IS NOT VERY FAMILIAR TO ME. A WORD THAT IS SELDOM USED BUT VERY POWERFUL TO DESCRIBE SOMEONE WITH RESPECT TO HIS OR HER PERSONALITY. TWO SEASONED AND BRILLIANT FILIPINO SENATORS ARE ODDS WITH EACH OTHER AT THE START OF 2013, SENATE PRESIDENT JUAN PONCE ENRILE AND MIRIAN DEFENSOR SANTIAGO, AN UPCOMING JUDGE OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT. THE WORD WAR BETWEEN THESE TWO STARTED OVER THE SO-CALLED PURPORTED "CHRISTMAS BONUS" ON HIS PART, ACCORDING TO SENATE PRESIDENT ENRILE, HE WAS MALIGNED BY HIS ENEMIES AND CRITICS AND PORTRAY HIM AS A "LIAR" AND "TRAITOR" AND CAST THE SENATE "UNDER THE CLOUD OF SUSPICION AS A HOUSE OF THIEVES." IN HIS FIGHTING FORM, ENRILE SAID, "HE IS TOO

DO YOU KNOW THAT THE QUEZON CITY GOVERNMENT DEVELOPED A CENTER CALLED QUEZON CITY SCIENCE INTERACTIVE CENTER? I BELIEVE VERY FEW OF US KNEW THE EXISTENCE OF THIS FACILITY. IN FACT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I KNOW ABOUT IT AND I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO VISIT THE SAID FACILITY UPON THE INSTRUCTION OF MY BOSS, COUNCILOR JULIENNE ALYSON RAE V. MEDALLA, CHAIRPERSON, COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY BASICALLY, THE QUEZON CITY SCIENCE INTERACTIVE CENTER CATERED GRADUATING STUDENTS FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS FREE OF CHARGE. THE BUILDING FEATURES EIGHT (8) LEARNING CENTERS, SEVEN ARE LABORATORIES, AN EXHIBIT GALLERY, PLANETARIUM AND OBSERVATORY. THIS YEAR, COUNCILOR JULIENNE ALYSON RAE V. MEDALLA WANTED TO OFFER THE FACILITY TO PRIVATE SCHOOLS AND OTHER LEARNING INSTITUTIONS OUTSIDE QUEZON CITY.  PRESENTLY SHE IS WORKING ON AN ORDINANCE MANDATING THE QCSIC TO COLLECT A MINIMAL ADMISSION FEE TO COVER ITS OPERATIONAL AND MAINTENANCE EXPENSES. UPGRADING AND IMPROVING THE SAID FA

internet advertising @ valtesar Hi valtesar! Thanks for featuring us on your terrific blog. But take note we are now officially known as Airphil Express, FYI. :) — PAL Express (@airphilexpress) August 19, 2011 When computer and cell phone is not so popular and electronic email and text messaging has not been introduced, trading notes is the best way  to communicate your feeling to someone you love. Tough it takes days and even months before it reaches its final destination, but the joy of receiving it by the recipient especially in remote and dangerous places is unexplainable. The same is indescribable when someone opens and reads it. Putting oneself in the shoes of those people receiving love letters is not the best thing to do. You need to experience it by yourself in order for you to understand the feeling. Trading notes or love letters always tend to be magical the spell started in the conceptualization and formation of words. Once the feeling is converted into

I HAVE THE LEISURE TO TRAVEL TO NAIC CAVITE LAST WEEK TO MEET NEW FRIENDS AND TO DISCOVER SOMETHING ABOUT THIS LOVELY MUNICIPALITY. ACTUALLY I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AND WHAT TO EXPECT, BUT I ALWAYS BEEN A KEEN OBSERVER. I ARRIVE AS EARLY AS 8:00 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN. BUT THE MEETING TIME IS 12:OO NOON. SO INSTEAD OF WASTING MY TIME WAITING TILL THE HANDS OF CLOCK BOTH REACH 12, I DECIDED TO WALK AROUND TO  FAMILIARIZE WITH  THE PLACE. I FOUND THIS GIGANTIC CHURCH SITUATED AT THE HEART OF THIS TINY MUNICIPALITY.  THIS IS A TESTAMENT AND A MONUMENT OF FAITH OF THE PEOPLE'S OF NAIC CAVITE, PHILIPPINES. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT PRIOR TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS RELIGIOUS EDIFICE, ARE THE SACRIFICES OF THE FAITHFUL. FOR ME IT DOES'NT MATTER  WHETHER YOU BELONG TO ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, IGLESIA NI CRISTO, BAPTIST, PRESBYTERIAN OR OTHER RELIGIOUS DENOMINATION. WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO ME IS HOW YOU LIVE YOUR FAITH AND YOUR PERSONAL R

Students from R. L. Pascual Elementary School, Quezon City, Philippines were taught about the importance of keeping themselves clean and healthy by properly washing their hands with soap and water. Some says that hand washing is like a "do-it-yourself" vaccine. RAISE a HAND for HYGIENE! is a fitting slogan. Every OCTOBER 15, is a GLOBAL HAND WASHING DAY! Hand washing is not only for children or students it is for all. Always keep our hands clean. It is participated by students, local and national leaders, international communities and advocates from social media, Personal hygiene is a pillar of international development and public health, Let us join the fun, raise our clean hands and start a healthy family that grows into a healthy communities, towns and cities.                            TODAY, I PROMISED TO WASH MY HANDS! WILL YOU?

OCTOBER IS NOT AN ORDINARY MONTH FOR ALL OF US AND FOR THE REST OF PEOPLE IN OUR ENTIRE UNIVERSE. OCTOBER IS A GLOBAL HAND WASHING MONTH.  WHAT MAKES THIS CELEBRATION SO SPECIAL? HAND WASHING DAY WITH WATER AND SOAP IS THE SIMPLEST FORM YET SO EFFECTIVE TO COMBAT ALL SORT OF GERMS BEFORE IT PENETRATES IN OUR BODY SYSTEM.  PICTURE BELOW IS A SIMPLE MOVABLE HAND WASHING LAVATORY WHERE STUDENTS OF R. L.  PASCUAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN BARANGAY BAESA, QUEZON CITY PHILIPPINES WASHED THEIR HANDS BEFORE AND AFTER HANDLING THEIR FOODS. THE HAND WASHING PROGRAM IS LONG TIME RUNNING IN THE PROVINCES. NOW IT IS BEING IMPLEMENTED IN METRO MANILA BY THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, NGO',S, AND CONCERNED CORPORATIONS (THRU THEIR CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY). QUEZON CITY IS AMONG THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNIT IN METRO MANILA IF NOT THE FIRST WHICH ADOPTED THE PROGRAM. BUT THROUGH THE "ESSENTIAL HEALTH CARE ORDINANCE" FILED BY COUNCILOR JULIENNE

IN MY FEW TRIPS TO QUEZON CITY PERSONNEL'S OFFICE, I ENCOUNTERED THIS VERY FAMILIAR YET VERY SIGNIFICANT WORD POSTED ON THE WALL NEAR THE DOOR WHERE  PERSONNEL HEAD MS. MARLENE AGUILAR HOLD HER OFFICE. I BELIEVE IT WAS HANGED THERE WITH A PURPOSE. THE WORD READS, "RESOURCEFULNESS." PRESUMING AND ASSUMING THAT ALL THE STAFF OF THAT DEPARTMENT READ IT AND APPLIED IT WHETHER INDIVIDUALLY OR COLLECTIVELY AS A COHESIVE UNIT ITS IMPACT WILL BE MAGNANIMOUS BOTH FOR INDIVIDUAL AND FOR THAT DEPARTMENT. RESOURCEFULNESS IS FINDING PRACTICAL USES FOR THAT WHICH OTHERS WOULD OVERLOOK OR DISCARD. IF WE LOOK AROUND, WE WILL FIND A LOT OF THINGS THAT SEEMS TO CEASE ITS USEFULNESS NOT LOOKING FOR OTHER WAYS TO MAKE IT USEFUL WE THROW IT OR DISCARDED IT RIGHT AWAY. BUT BEING A RESOURCEFUL PERSON TEACHES US TO FIND OTHER WAYS TO MAKE IT USEFUL AGAIN THEN IN RETURN IT SAVES MONEY THAT WE CAN USE FOR OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS WE NEED IN LIFE.  REWARDS OF RESOURCEFULNESS CR

LET US START FROM TOP: MAYOR, HERBERT BAUSTISTA WHOM I  REMEMBEREAS ONE OF THE BAGETS DURING HIS TIME, ENTENG IN CAPTAIN BARBAL AND BISTEK IN HIS SITCOM, A MONICKER HE USED IN ALL HIS POLITICAL CAREER.

AS I LOOK AROUND, LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO WRITE, I READ AN ARTICLE THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION,  IT SAYS, "WILL YOU MARRY A NON-VIRGIN?"  FROM RELIGIOUS PERSPECTIVE WHERE I CAME FROM IT IS TABOO OR FORBIDDEN TO MARRY A NON-VIRGIN THAT IS THE REASON WHY MOST MEMBERS OF DEVOUT CATHOLICS AND REFORMED CHURCHES ARE EX-COMMUNICATED IF CAUGHT HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH SOMEONE PRIOR TO MARRIAGE. THE CULTURES OF THE CIVILIZED SOCIETY HAS BEEN PRESERVED  EVEN IN THIS MODERN TIMES OF OURS. THAT VIRGINITY IS ALWAYS EQUATED WITH GOODNESS AND VIRTUE. THE ACT OF PRESERVING YOURSELF INTACT AND UN-BLEMISH FOR THE ONE YOU MARRY PROVES THAT YOU ARE A PERSON IN GOOD REPUTE AND UPBRINGING. AS TIME WENT ON CULTURES MELT DOWN, IDEAS ARE CHANGING INTO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS, SOME BELIEVE IT IS NO LONGER IMPORTANT. EVERY WEEK COUNCILOR JULIENNE ALYSON RAE V. MEDALLA, A GRADUATE OF  A CERTIFIED CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY, FOUNDED BY DEVOUT CATHOLIC MISSIONIORIES THE DE LA SALLE BROTHERS AND HER F

While the Country, to be more exact and specific Quezon City  was pounded by heavy rains and most of its parts were flooded, the Quezon City Sangguniang Panglunsod Launched another worthwhile and commendable Ordinance that seeks to be the Intellectual Capital of the country. The proposed ordinance, "AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING THE QUEZON CITY POST-GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM FOR DESERVING STUDENTS DOMICILED WITHIN THE CITY AND PROVIDING FUNDS FOR THE PURPOSE." was confirmed by the 18th City Council and now a local law of the city.

NOW THAT THE CASE OF CHIEF JUSTICE RENATO CORONA HAS BEEN DECIDED UPON BY THE SENATE SITTING AS THE IMPEACHMENT COURT AND THE CHIEF JUSTICE ACCEPTED THE GUILTY VERDICT OF 20 TO 3 IN FAVOR  OF HIS CONVICTION. HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE THAT NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. THE CHIEF MAGISTRATE CANNOT EXEMPT HIMSELF FROM BEING TRIED BY THE VERY LAW HE INTERPRETS. THE CLERK OF COURT OF DAVAO CITY WHO WAS DISMISSED FROM SERVICE BECAUSE OF HER FAILURE TO DECLARE IN HER SALN THAT SHE RENTED A STALL IN DAVAO MARKET IS BEYOND COMPARE TO THE CASE OF THE CHIEF MAGISTRATE. WHO FAILED TO DECLARE HIS PESO AND DOLLAR ACCOUNTS IN HIS SALN. THE LAW MUST APPLY TO ALL AND NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. NO AMOUNT OF EXPLANATION WILL BE SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO COVER THE CHIEF MAGISTRATE FAILURE TO DECLARE IN HIS SALN HIS MULTIPLE PESO AND DOLLAR ACCOUNTS. I WISH THAT THE PROSECUTION PANEL ZERO IN THIS ISSUE TO AVOID TOUCHING OTHER PERSONAL MATTERS. ABOVE ALL IT IS AN EYE OPENER TO ALL PUBLIC OFFICIALS THAT MISD

BEFORE THE MOST AWAITED VERDICT SHALL BE PRONOUNCED PROBABLY ON MONDAY (MAY 28, 2012) BY THE SENATE SITTING AS AN IMPEACHMENT COURT TO CHIEF JUSTICE RENATO CORONA, IT IS MY HUMBLE OPINION THAT THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL DID A GREAT INJUSTICE TO THE CHIEF JUSTICE BY PRESENTING AN UNVERIFIED, FABRICATED AND PADDED EVIDENCES AGAINST THE CHIEF MAGISTRATE. IT IS ALSO MY HUMBLE OPINION THAT EVEN BEFORE THE START OF THE TRIAL THE PROSECUTION PANELS DID A BRILLIANT JOB BY PAINTING IN THE MINDS OF THE MASSES HOW CRUEL AND CORRUPT THE CHIEF MAGISTRATE WAS. FROM DAY ONE UP TO DAY 40's DIFFERENT SOLID BLOWS LANDED ALL OVER THE BODY OF THE CHIEF MAGISTRATE ALMOST KNOCKING HIM OUT. BUT THE CHIEF MAGISTRATE STOOD STILL AND GATHERED HIS LAST REMAINING STRENGTH TO PROVE TO HIS ACCUSER HOW WRONG THEY ARE AND REDEEMED HIMSELF BEFORE THE FILIPINO PEOPLE THAT HE WAS WRONGFULLY ACCUSED. FINALLY THE CHIEF MAGISTRATE ADMITTED OF HAVING A DOLLAR ACCOUNT IN THE AMOUNT OF $2.4 MI
