THE PREAMBLE OF THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS SAYS, "THE RECOGNITION OF THE INHERENT DIGNITY AND OF THE EQUAL  AND INALIENABLE RIGHTS OF ALL MEMBERS OF HUMAN FAMILY IS THE FOUNDATION OF FREEDOM, JUSTICE AND PEACE IN THE WORLD." IT WAS ALSO STATED THERE THAT, "IT IS VERY ESSENTIAL IF MAN IS NOT TO BE COMPELLED TO HAVE RECOURSE, AS A LAST RESORT, TO REBELLION AGAINST TYRANNY AND OPPRESSION, THAT HUMAN RIGHTS SHOULD BE PROTECTED BY THE RULE OF LAW." VARIOUS GROUPS AND ORGANIZATION LODGED THEIR PETITION TO THE UNITED NATIONS TO REAFFIRM THE HUMAN RIGHTS TO ADEQUATE HOUSING.  HOUSING IS A RIGHT OF EVERY HUMAN. WE HAVE STILL PLENTY OF LANDS THAT CAN BE DEVELOPED INTO SOCIAL HOUSING. EVERY LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS ARE CAPABLE OF PROVIDING HOUSING FOR ITS DWELLERS. THIS WILL BE THE BEST SOLUTION FOR INFORMAL SETTLERS SPROUTING IN THE CITY. FROM THE SENATORS DOWN TO BARANGAY CAPTAINS THEY HAVE SO-CALLED DEVELOPMENT FUNDS THAT WERE USED UNWISELY ...

EVERY TIME THERE ARE VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS PHOTOGRAPHERS, NATURE LOVERS, TOURISTS AND EVEN BYSTANDERS FLOCKED TO THE SITE TO BEHOLD ITS BEAUTY NOT MINDING THE RISK IT WILL GIVE THEM IN RETURN. AFTER FOUR HUNDRED YEARS (400) THE PHILIPPINES MOUNT PINATUBO ERUPTED LEAVING 847 DEAD, INJURED 184 AND MORE THAN ONE (1) MILLION  PEOPLE WERE DISPLACED. I COULD NOT IMAGINE HOW HUGE IS FIVE (5) MILLION CUBIC OF ASHES AND PYRO- PLASTIC THAT WAS EJECTED BY MOUNT PINATUBO. ON THE POSITIVE NOTE, PICTURES OF CATASTROPHIC BEAUTY SUCH AS OF THAT OF VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS WERE SEEN IN POSTCARDS, NEWS MAGAZINES AND OTHER PAPERS OF GENERAL CIRCULATION. SCENE LIKE THIS IS ALWAYS WONDERFUL TO BEHOLD DESPITE THE TERROR AND DAMAGE IT BRINGS TO THE NATION ESPECIALLY TO THE  SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES AND THEY PRAY THAT IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

IF THIS SHOE CAN ONLY PINPOINT THE CULPRITS OF GENSAN BOMBINGS THAT RESULTED TO 14 PEOPLE DEAD AND INJURING ABOUT 64 PEOPLE, THESE TERRORISTS WILL BE PUNISHED AND JAILED FOR THE CRIMES THEY COMMITTED AGAINST THE INNOCENTS WHO HAD NOTHING TO DO ABOUT IT EXCEPT TO BE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME. THIS SHOE CRIES FOR JUSTICE, REPRESENT ALL INNOCENT VICTIMS AROUND THE GLOBE AND CALLS TO STOP THIS BRUTAL AND BARBARIC ACTS AGAINST THE INNOCENT. I WONDER WHY THE SO-CALLED FREEDOM FIGHTERS LIKE THE ABU SAYYAF, MILF, NEW PEOPLE’S ARMY, COMMUNIST PARTY AND THE LIKES ALWAYS USES FORCE AGAINST THE NON-COMBATANTS OR INNOCENT CIVILIANS. I CANNOT ACCEPT A USELESS ACTIVITY SUCH THIS AND WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THEIR WRONG DOINGS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.  ALL OF US WANTED CHANGE INCLUDING THIS BLOODED SHOE BUT IT MUST BE DONE WITHOUT SACRIFICING THE LIVES OF INNOCENTS WHO LIKE THEM WANTED A PEACEFUL AND PROGRESSIVE COMMUNITY.

AS I SCAN THE PAGES OF DIFFERENT NEWSPAPERS TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING WORTHY TO WRITE IN MY BLOG, I FOUND THIS ARTICLE WRITTEN BY DR. TRANQUILINO ELICANO JR. IN HIS "WHAT'S UP DOC? COLUMN IN THE PHILIPPINE STAR. I HOPE MY READERS AROUND THE GLOBE WILL LIKE IT AND EXPERIMENT ON IT IF THE GOOD DOCTOR TIPS IS REALLY WORKING AND I WILL TRY IT ON MYSELF BECAUSE I ALSO HEAR SOMEONE TELLS ME THAT I SNORE. HERE ARE THE SEVEN STEPS TO SNORE FREE SLEEPING: 1.  SLEEP ON YOUR SIDE - BECAUSE YOU'RE MORE LIKELY TO SNORE WHEN YOU SLEEP ON YOUR BACK.               - IT IS SUGGESTED THAT YOU SEW A TENNIS BALL INTO THE BACK OF YOUR PAJAMAS SO THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS SLEEP ON YOUR SIDE. 2.   AVOID THICK PILLOWS THAT CAUSE YOUR NECK TO BEND FORWARD. THIS PINCHES, MAKING SNORING WORSE. HOWEVER IF YOU ELEVATE YOUR ENTIRE UPPER BODY WITH PILLOWS, THAT MAY HELP. 3.   STOP SMOKING. SMOKIN...

Philippine President Manuel L. Quezon, issued Proclamation No. 109 moving National Book Week to November 24-30. Quezon echoed what Governor General Frank Murphy said and I quote, "IT IS DESIRABLE THAT THE TASK OF AROUSING A WIDER SPREAD INTEREST IN THE READING OF GOBOOKS BE RECOGNIZED AS A HIGHLY PATRIOTIC DUTY AS WELL AS A PRIVILEGE." He added that "the reading of good books on the printed page is one of the most effective methods of bringing enlightenment within the reach of the largest possible number of people, and of promoting the cause of popular culture with its tremendous social benefits. I believe that a brilliant mind is a by-product of a good reading habit of excellent books written by prolific writers who were excellent readers themselves. Isagani Cruz, columnist writer of the Philippine Star said, "There are three ways to celebrate books this month. One is to attend some of the activities scheduled by various organizations and agencies. An...

FISH CEMETERY I HEARD ABOUT PET CEMETERY BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HEARD ABOUT FISH CEMETERY FOUND IN THE 1,300 SQUARE METER GRAVE SITE INSIDE THE BUREAU OF FISHRIES AND AQUATIC RESOURCES (BFAR) IN DAGUPAN CITY PHILIPPINES.

THE GOOD ABOUT IT IS THAT IT HELPS CREATING AWARENESS ABOUT PROTECTING SEA CREATURES ESPECIALLY THE ENDANGERED ONE. THE FISHERMEN AND THE RESIDENTS OF THE COASTAL COMMUNITIES SEE THE IMPORTANCE AND THE NEED TO CARE FOR THE STRANDED SEA CREATURES. NOW ACCORDING TO BFAR, EVERYTIME THERE ARE GIANT FISH SPECIES SEEN IN THE LINGAYEN GULF OR OTHERS AREAS THEY CALLED THE AGENCY FOR POSSIBLE RESCUE OR REQUEST TO BURY THE DEAD CREATURES. THEY ALSO DESERVED A VISIT, A FLOWER AND A CANDLE PERHAPS, WHEN PEOPLE REMEM...

I remember the first time if I recall it  correctly, that Aly Medalla then, would rather not enter politics for personal belief and conviction. Most politicians (sorry to say this ) but this are the impression of great majority of the people  around the world including myself, that most politicians are corrupt and worst naive and calloused to the needs of the people. But after so much consultations and personal reflection, she believes that entering into politics would bring and initiate changes the way it perceived by the people. True to her words, Councilor Aly Medalla, give up the Chairmanship of Committee  on Games and Amusement and exchange it for the Committee Chairmanship of Committee on Education, Science and Technology where she believes she can contribute best. Another excellent virtue of Councilor Aly Medalla is her keen eyes for another important works and contributions. Today, I will feature, one of her measures, ...

I HOPE, AIRPHIL EXPRESS WILL HAVE MORE OF THESE PROMOS AND MUST LOWER THEIR FARES SO THAT MORE CAN AVAIL OF IT AND TRAVEL TO THEIR FAVORITE PLACES AND LOCAL DESTINATIONS.
