A BIG NO TO A REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT

HERE COMES A PRESIDENT THAT DOES NOT WANT TO BE A PRESIDENT AT ALL. BUT DESPITE OF HIS UNWILLINGNESS TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES A GREAT MAJORITY OF THE FILIPINO PEOPLE VOTED HIM AS PRESIDENT.  IN MANY OF HIS SPEECHES, THE PRESIDENT SAID THAT HE IS WILLING TO STEP DOWN IF ALLEGATIONS HURLED AGAINST HIM WAS PROVEN. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE CRITICIZING HIM IN RUNNING THE AFFAIRS OF THE NATION BOTH LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL. YES! A GREAT NUMBER OF ENEMIES ARE FILING UP BUT TO HOSTAGE THE FILIPINO PEOPLE BY STAGING A REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT IS A BIG NO NO TO THE FILIPINO PEOPLE. THE PRESIDENT KNOWS FOR A FACT THAT HIS PRESIDENCY WILL BE WEAKENING DUE TO THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE PEOPLE'S SUPPORT AS WELL AS PLACING THE WRONG PEOPLE IN THE GOVERNMENT.  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT HIS CRITICS CRITICIZE HIM THE WAY HE MISHANDLED THE PHILIPPINES AND THERE IS NOTHING PERSONAL ABOUT IT. INSTEAD OF FIGHTING BACK IT IS ABOUT TIME FOR THE PRESIDENT ...

Wedding At Blue Gardens

yesterday (November 16, 2017), I have a chance to officiate a wedding in Blue Gardens. It is a beautiful event venue for all types of activities including wedding. It is located at No.28 Samonte Street via North Zuzuaregui Road, Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City. The venue provide spacious parking space with security personnel.

The Sharpest Eyes

There are four types of birds with the strongest eyesight. The eagle eye is about 4-8 times stronger than that of the average human. An eagle is said to be able to spot a rabbit from a distance of 3.2 kilometers. Aside from eagle, birds such as hawks, falcons and robins have extra-ordinary vision which enable them to catch their prey easily. Though the eyesight of these birds are far stronger than the human eyes but they are no match compared to the eyes of love that only us, humans possesses. From afar we are able to spot the one we like. Sometimes, we create a perimeter wall so that no one but us can have a contact with him or her. This is a strange feeling, a reality, but hard to explain. We are so eager to have him/her and unknowingly sometimes it becomes an obsession. 

ELECTRIC WIRES AND CABLE SPAGHETTIS

NO  DOUBT, THE MANILA ELECTRIC  COMPANY (MERALCO) IS THE GIANT AND MEGA-BUCKS COMPANY WHEN IT COMES TO POWER DISTRIBUTION BUSINESS. THE MANILA ELECTRIC COMPANY  (MERALCO) POSTED A LOWER INCOME THIS YEAR ACCORDING TO THE REPORT OF  PHILSTAR GLOBAL . MERALCO CHIEF FINANCE OFFICER SAID THE COMPANY'S CORE NET INCOME DECLINED 3% FROM P10.4 BILLION IN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2016 TO P10.1 BILLION THIS YEAR.  IN A SEPARATE NEWS FROM  THE MANILA TIMES , MERALCO'S TOP 5 EXECUTIVES GETS P92.4 MILLION EACH IN 2016.  THEREFORE, IT MEANS THAT MANILA ELECTRIC COMPANY (MERALCO) IS DOING GREAT BUSINESS AND WAS REMAIN UNCHALLENGED BY OTHER PLAYERS IN POWER DISTRIBUTION.  HOWEVER, IF YOU LOOK AT THESE PICTURES, IT SEEMS THAT MERALCO IS NOT CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE BY IGNORING SPAGHETTI ELECTRIC WIRES AND CABLES ALMOST EVERYWHERE IN THE 42 BARANGAYS OF QUEZON CITY.  WHEN ELECTRIC CONSUMPTION WAS NOT PAID ON TIME, T...

The Blooded Shoes Cries Again (updated)

Last December 5, 2011, I wrote an article on Gensan Bombing that killed 14 innocent people and injuring around 64 people. The blooded shoes of the innocent victims cried for justice. Just recently, America mourns for the victims of Mass Shooting incident in Las Vegas that killed 58 people and injuring around 489 people. The incident is the deadliest mass shooting committed by an individual in the United States. According to the Section of Washington Post : The Math of Mass Shooting, the death toll change, the places change and the faces in the memorial photos change every time, but the weapons are the common denominator. Mass Killings in the United States are most often carried out with guns, usually handguns, and most of them obtained legally. Although the Mass Shooting in Las Vegas was perpetrated by one man for unknown reason and was not linked with terrorists, but still the blooded shoes escalated in the crime scene cried for justice. Weapons of mass destruction like high caliber...

Cat-and-Mouse Game of Politics (updated)

Latest News: Bato apologizes for ingrates remarks Public apology by PNP Director General Approval rating of President Duterte tumbling down Trillanes:Filipinos Beginning to see the light Philippine Politics is like a cat-and-mouse game. They said that the "Cory Magic" was buried to the ground when President Cory Aquino died. They said, the Yellow Magic no longer exists but in contrary, the game is not yet over. The cat is unable to secure a decisive victory over the mouse, who despite not being able to defeat the cat, is able to avoid capture. Today, the Duterte administration is the cat and Vice President Leni Robredo's group is the mouse. Because of the present trust rating enjoyed by President Duterte, no way Vice President Leni's group can defeat the President. But the mouse can outsmart the arrogant cat. It is the bad habit of the cat that after the capture of his prey, he release it knowing that the prey is weak enough and cannot do any harm to ...

The Heart and Soul of the Constitution

In the introductory part of our Philippine Constitution which also known as the Preamble says; "We, the sovereign Filipino people, imploring the aid of Almighty God, in order to build a just and humane society and establish a Government that shall embody our ideals and aspirations, promote the common good, conserve and develop our patrimony, and secure to ourselves and our posterity the blessings of independence and democracy under the rule of law and a regime of truth, justice, freedom, love, equality, and peace, do ordain and promulgate this Constitution." During my high school days, it is a must for us to memorize the Preamble of the Philippine Constitution maybe because the Educational Institution wanted to inculcate in our young minds the importance of being a good citizen of our nation whether following or leading our country. In my personal opinion, the Preamble is the Heart and Soul of the Philippine Constitution. We have so many law experts and brilliant consti...

The Change We Wanted

Change is coming! this is the magic word that put Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte to Presidency. People are tired of empty promises. The People's Money are sufficient enough to finance various projects and services of the government if use wisely and properly. But because of corruption, the best projects, the best education, the best health care services, the best social security services, the generation and creation of jobs, and a promise of a better life were not delivered and as a result poor Juan Dela Cruzes are still  bed-ridden in poverty. It is true that change is not easy and it must come from all of us but it will start from them. I hope the President and his trusted men that holds powerful and sensitive positions in the government will realize the "PROMISE" they made to the people. The President made mention of the erosion of people's trust and confidence in government was the real problem that confronts them. The three branches of the government nam...

Intimate Prayer

SOMEONE SAID, "THERE IS AN EMPTY VACUUM IN OUR HEART THAT ONLY GOD CAN FILL.  AND IT IS NOT A RELIGIOUS MYTH THAT WHEN SOMEONE IS IN THE POINT OF DEATH, CONSCIOUSLY OR UNCONSCIOUSLY, HE CALLS, HE CRIES, AND WAILS FOR HIS MAKER. REMIND ME OH LORD! NOT TO WANDER FROM YOUR PRESENCE ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE. MUCH MORE TO WANDER FROM YOUR PRESENCE IN ETERNITY.. GIVE ME A SENSE OF DIRECTION IN LIFE. A WISDOM TO DETERMINE BETWEEN WHAT IS WRONG AND WHAT IS RIGHT. A STRENGTH TO EMBRACE YOUR WILL. BRING ME BACK IN YOUR PRESENCE AND WHEN MY LIFE IS OVER, I WANTED TO BE REUNITED WITH YOU, MY LORD.

Love Letter

When computer and cell phone is not yet so popular and electronic email and text messaging has not been introduced, trading love notes is the best way  to communicate our feelings to someone we love. Though it takes days and even months before it reaches its final destination, but the joy of receiving it by the other party especially in remote and dangerous places is beyond explanations. The same is indescribable when someone opens and reads it.        (picture taken from the internet) 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 words, the one writing the love letter becomes the likes of Shakespeare and the spells hypnotizes the one reading it and sometimes...

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.

NOT ONLY DESTROYING THE NATURAL HABITAT OF SMALL 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 FISHERIES AND AQUATIC RESOURCES (BFAR) IN DAGUPAN CITY PHILIPPINES. THE SAID FISH CEMETERY IS 12 YEARS OLD NOW. BUT AS I SAID, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I KNOW ABOUT IT. ACCORDING TO MR. ROSARIO, CHIEF OF THE AGENCY, THE FISH CEMETERY BECOME THE FIELD SCHOOL ALL YEAR ROUND EVEN TO CURIOUS PEOPLE. WHAT IS GOOD ABOUT IT? 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, EVERY TIME 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, ...
