US RETURNS $132.000 TO THE PHILIPPINES

NONE OTHER THAN US AMBASSADOR HARRY THOMAS JR. HANDED OVER THE CHECK AMOUNTING TO $132,000 TO JUSTICE SECRETARY LEILA DE LIMA IN THE FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUEST MADE BY THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT IN 2009 UNDER THE MUTUAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE TREATY (MLAT) BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES.

THE CHECK AMOUNTING TO $132,000 IS A PROCEED FROM THE SALE OF REAL ESTATES OWED BY FORMER MILITARY COMPTROLLER JACINTO LIGOT AND HIS WIFE ERLINDA IN BUENA PARK, CALIFORNIA.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT RETURNED TO THE PHILIPPINES PROCEEDS OF ILL-GOTTEN WEALTH ABROAD THROUGH MLAT.

I HOPE THAT THIS WILL BE THE START THAT THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT WILL BE SERIOUS ENOUGH IN CHASING AND PUTTING BEHIND BARS GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WHO ACCUMULATED HUGE SOME OF MONEY THAT BELONGS TO THE FILIPINO PEOPLE.

COOPERATION BETWEEN COUNTRIES LIKE US AND PHILIPPINES SHOULD BE STRENGTHEN IN PROSECUTING AND RUNNING AFTER GOVERNMENT PERSONALITY WHO STOLE THE PEOPLES MONEY.

I HAVE THE SAME SENTIMENT  OF THAT US AMBASSADOR THOMAS THAT THE MONEY SHOULD BE USED FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE FILIPINO PEOPLE.

THIS MUTUAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE TREATY BETWEEN US AND THE PHILIPPINES MUST BE DUPLICATED BY OTHER NATIONS. MAKING POSSIBLE TO RETURN WHATEVER GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS STOLEN FROM THE PEOPLE.

STATUE OF DIVINE MERCY

THIS GIGANTIC STATUE OF THE DIVINE MERCY MEASURED 50 FEET HIGH PERHAPS THE MOST REMARKABLE MONUMENT IN MINDANAO. IT IS SITUATED IN EL SALVADOR CITY,  AND IT WAS NAMED AFTER THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD, JESUS CHRIST. THE STAIRWAY IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THAT OF MRT. THOSE WHO HAVE HEALTH CONDITION ARE ADVISED TO STAY ON THE GROUND. TOURISTS AND OTHER VISITORS ARE ADVISED TO OBSERVED PROPER DECORUM SINCE THE ENTIRE PLACE IS SACRED. THOUGH I AM A REFORMED CATHOLIC, VISITING THE PLACE IS A RARE EXPERIENCE  AND I WAS AMAZED TO SEE HOW PEOPLE STRIVE TO CREATE ENORMOUS STATUE LIKE THIS. PILGRIMS FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF ARCHIPELAGO FLOCKED TOGETHER TO SEE THIS WONDERFUL PLACE.  I AM A STRONG BELIEVER THAT PEOPLE'S FAITH CREATED THIS PLACE. THEIR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST WORKS WONDER FOR THEM RECEIVING POSITIVE ANSWERS TO WHAT THEY WISH FOR.

SAVE YOUR SPEECHES FOR THE BEST

THE POLITICAL ARENA IS VERY COLORFUL. WHETHER YOU ARE PARTY MATES OR YOU BELONG TO THE OPPOSING PARTIES, AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU WILL DO YOUR BEST TO OUT-DO AND OUT-WIT ONE ANOTHER FOR ONLY ONE REASON, TO ENSURE VICTORY AND REMAIN ON TOP. LOOK AT THEIR SLOGANS OR WHAT THEY ARE CLAIMING DURING POLITICAL RALLIES AND CAUCUSES. SOME CLAIM THAT THEIR ONLY VICE IS SERVICE (ANG TANGING BISYO NILA AY SERBISYO). SOME SAYS, "BAYAN ANG NO.1, KAMPEON NG PALUPA, TAGAPAGTANGGOL NG KABABAIHAN, KAMPEON NG EDUKASYON, GUSTO KO HAPPY KA, TAPANG AT MALASAKIT, LAYLAYAN NG LIPUNAN, ITULOY ANG DAANG MATUWID AND A LOT MORE. THEIR SPEECHES ARE WELL ORGANIZED AND CRAFTED. THEY WERE EVEN SUPERB IN THE DELIVERY OF THEIR MASTER PIECE. TO BE HONEST AND FAIR, THERE ARE CERTAIN TRUTH TO WHAT THEY ARE SAYING AND CLAIMING BUT MOST OF IT LACED WITH FLOWERY AND SOMETIMES EVEN POISONOUS. SELLING YOURSELF TO THE PEOPLE IS NOT AN EASY JOB. THE PEOPLE WILL KNOW HOW SINCERE YOU ARE AS PUBLIC SE...

Urban Reforestation

FOR QUIET SOMETIME, THE WANDERING BLOGGER SEEMS INACTIVE IN WRITING FOR ONE REASON, NOT BECAUSE HE RUNS OUT OF IDEAS BUT MAINLY BECAUSE OF THIS STRANGE FEELING THAT I DO NOT WANT TO WRITE AT ALL.  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 ARTICLE.. CLIMATE CHANGE IS A BY-WORD NOW AND ECO-WARRIORS WAS BORN TO RESTORE THE FAST DETERIORATING PLANET EARTH. DURING MY CHILDHOOD, MY FATHER AND I AS WELL AS THE OTHER SIBLINGS ARE ARMED WITH BOLOS CUTTING SMALL TREES, CLEARING THE WEEDS AND LATER ON BURNED THE SITE IN PREPARATION FOR PLANTING SEASON WERE CROPS LIKE PALAY AND CORN WERE PLANTED. THIS SYSTEM IS CALLED THE "KAINGIN SYSTEM" AND WERE CALLED  THE "KAINGENEROS".  WE WERE NEVER INFORMED DURING THAT TIME THIS SYSTEM OR PRACTICE IS ILLEGAL AND HARMFUL TO ECOLOGICAL BALANCE. NOT ONLY DESTROYING THE NATURAL HABITAT OF SMALL AN...
