CREDIT OF THIS ARTICLE BELONGS TO MR. JOEL RUIZ BUTUYAN OF THE PHILIPPINE DAILY INQUIRER - OPINION SECTION They can barely walk, but they want to run, "laments a netizen from social media. JOSEPH "ERAP" ESTRADA, 81, and ALFREDO LIM, 88, are both vying for the post of city mayor of Manila. IMELDA MARCOS, 89, is running for governor of Ilocos Norte. And JUAN PONCE ENRILE, 94, wants to be a senator again. These octogenarian and nonagenarian aspirants created an uproar when they filed their certificates of candidacy a few weeks ago. Estrada has been in public office since 1969. in the span of 50 years, he was a San Juan City Mayor for several years, then senator, Vice President, President and Manila Mayor. Lim has been in public service since the 1950's, a Police Officer who rose to the rank of General, then becoming Director of the National Bureau of Investigation before serving as City Mayor of Manila for four terms and eventually becoming Senator of the ...

THE POLITICAL CULTURE IN THE PHILIPPINES NOT ONLY DIVIDES THE NATION BUT THE VERY BASIC CORE OF ANY SOCIETY - THE FAMILY. THE RIFTS BETWEEN TWO SIBLINGS, ABBY AND JUNJUN IS IN THE POLITICAL LIMELIGHT/SPOTLIGHT TODAY.  BOTH ARE DRIVEN OF WHAT WE CALLED "IN THE NAME OF PUBLIC SERVICE." BUT HOW THEY CAN SERVE THE PEOPLE WELL IF NO ONE IS WILLING TO GIVE WAY FOR ONE ANOTHER. PEOPLE THINK THE OTHER WAY AROUND. SOME SAYS; "PALABAS LANG YAN" SO THAT IN THE END THERE IS ONLY ONE VICTORIOUS, THE BINAY! BUT LISTENING TO BOTH OF THEM, I BEG TO DISAGREE WITH WHAT SOME OTHER THINK.      MAYOR ABBY BINAY STANDS WITH HER PRINCIPLES AND WANTED TO INJECT NOT ONLY A NEW STYLE OR BRAND OF LEADERSHIP AND SERVICES TO THE PEOPLE OF MAKATI BUT CLEAR THE ONES TINTED NAME OF THE BINAY. ON THE OTHER HAND, FORMER MAKATI MAYOR JUNJUN BINAY WANTED TO REDEEM HIMSELF AT THE EXPENSE OF RUNNING AGAINST HIS SISTER MAYOR ABBY BINAY. THIS POLITICAL ZARZUELA IS NOT A ...

ACCORDING TO SENATOR GRINGO HONASAN,ANYONE WHO BUILDS THE FOUNDATION FOR FUTURE OF THE NEXT GENERATION IS A HERO.

BY DEFINITION, AMNESTY IS THE ACT OF RELEASING OR PROTECTING A PERSON OR PERSONS FROM PROSECUTION FOR WRONGDOINGS.  IT IS A FACT THAT SENATOR ANTONIO TRILLANES AND OTHERS  COMMITTED A CRIME AGAINST THE PEOPLE WHEN THEY STAGED A REBELLION WAY BACK NOVEMBER 29, 2007 KNOWN AS THE "MANILA PENINSULA SIEGE."   WHATEVER MORAL PRINCIPLE THEY STAND AND FIGHTING FOR, STAGING A REBELLION AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT JUSTIFY IT. THE PEOPLE ALWAYS REMEMBER THE WRONGDOINGS OF THE "MAGDALO GROUP" FORGETTING ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR. BRINGING BACK THE ISSUES AT HAND DURING THAT TIME MORE OR LESS GIVES US AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR. HERE ARE SOME OF THE ISSUES DURING THAT TIME:  MASSIVE CHEATING IN 2004 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. THE JOSE PIDAL ACCOUNT. THE PLUNDER OF MAJOR GENERAL CARLOS GARCIA. THE UNEXPLAINED WEALTH OF PAGCOR CHAIRMAN EFRAIM GENUINO. THE MOST EXPENSIVE ROAD IN THE WORLD, THE MACAPAGAL HIGHWAY AND MUCH MORE. CORRUPTI...

AS A BLOGGER MYSELF, THERE IS A TENDENCY TO BECOME ONE SIDED WHEN IT COMES TO GIVING A PERSONAL OPINION. ALTHOUGH IT SHOULD NOT BE CASE BECAUSE IT IS NOT HEALTHY AT ALL AND IT TRIGGERS DISCORD AMONG LISTENERS! WE NEED TO KEEP IN MIND AS BLOGGERS THAT VIEWERS AND READERS HAVE THEIR OWN PERSONAL OPINIONS TOO. IT MIGHT BE THE SAME OR CONTRARY TO WHAT A BLOGGER BELIEVES SOMETIMES IT IS GOOD TO BE A CONTROVERSIAL BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU MUCH ATTENTION AND HIGHER VIEWERS IN BOTH CAMPS ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE DEALING WITH POLITICS. WE, FILIPINOS ARE BEST KNOWN AS PARTISAN POLITICS. A STRONG AND DIE HARD SUPPORTERS OF ONE PARTICULAR POLITICIAN AND A STAUNCH CRITICS OF ANOTHER.   WHEN I HEAR ABOUT THE LATEST CONTROVERSY OF DREW OLIVAR, I LISTENED VERY VERY CAREFULLY TO THE PRESS BRIEFING CONDUCTED BY NCRPO HEADED BY DIRECTOR GUILERMO ELEAZAR ABOUT BOMBED TUBE SCARE POSTED BY DREW OLIVAR. TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH MY FIRST IMPRESSION IS THAT, IT IS POSTED BY DREW WITHOUT MALICE OR AN...

POLITICS IS NOT ONLY A BLOODY SPORTS BUT A DEADLY ONE! THERE ARE A LOT OF CHARACTER ASSASSINATIONS AND SOMEONE WILL TRY HIS BEST TO PUT YOU  DOWN AND TEAR YOU APART. SOME EVEN CALLED IT, THE POLITICS OF DEATH.

THIS IS WHAT I HEARD THIS MORNING FROM THE SPORTS COMMENTATORS COMPARING THE LEGACY OF MICHAEL JORDAN AND LEBRON JAMES. BOTH OF THEM ARE BASKETBALL ICONS. I BELIEVE THEM SO BY SAYING POLITICS IS A BLOODY SPORT. 

Wandering Blogger: DUTERTE, MOST POWERFUL PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINE... : THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT AT THE VERY MOMENT OF THIS WRITING, PRESIDENT RODRIGO ROA DUTERTE IS THE MOST POWERFUL PRESIDENT THE PHILIPPINES HA...

THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT AT THE VERY MOMENT OF THIS WRITING, PRESIDENT RODRIGO ROA DUTERTE IS THE MOST POWERFUL PRESIDENT THE PHILIPPINES HAD EVER PRODUCED. MORE POWERFUL THAN THE LATE PRESIDENT FERDINAND MARCOS. IF PRESIDENT DUTERTE WILL USE HIS IRON FIST LEADERSHIP STYLE FOR THE ADVANTAGE OF THE MARGINALIZED SECTOR OF OUR SOCIETY THERE IS NO NEED TO CHANGE THE FORM OF GOVERNMENT FROM UNITARY FORM TO FEDERAL FORM. THE ONLY PROBLEM ABOUT HIM IS THAT HE FOCUS ON THE SO-CALLED SMALL FISH CHASING HOPELESSLY AND TIRELESSLY FOR DRUG ADDICTS AND SMALL TIME PUSHERS RATHER THAN CHASING FOR THE BIGGER CATCH IN THE PERSONS OF RICE CARTEL, SMUGGLERS, SYNDICATES IN UNIFORMS, HOARDERS, CROOKED POLITICIANS, CORRUPT GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. INSTEAD OF THE PASSAGE OF NEW TAX MEASURES THAT WILL DEFINITELY HIT MR. POOR JUAN DELA CRUZ ON THE STOMACH THAT WILL KNOCKED HIM DOWN WHY NOT DEMAND RESULT FROM BUREAU OF INTERNAL REVENUE, FROM THE BUREAU OF CUSTOMS, FROM PAGCOR, PC...

UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL IS A VERY WELL-KNOWN SAYING WHICH IS DESIGNED TO STIR PEOPLE UP TO GREATER UNITY. ALTHOUGH, WE NEVER HEARD OF THIS SAYING DIRECTLY FROM THE MOUTH OF PRESIDENT DUTERTE BUT HIS ENTIRE MESSAGE WAS CHARACTERIZED BY STIRRING UP THE PEOPLE TO HELP HIM ADDRESS THE DIFFERENT PROBLEMS OF OUR NATION. BUT EVEN BEFORE THE PRESIDENT DELIVERED HIS SPEECH, SOMETHING CONTRARY IS HAPPENING IN THE CONGRESS THAT TOOK SO LONG BEFORE THE CRISIS MANAGEMENT TEAM OF THE PRESIDENT TAME THE ISSUE OR THE SITUATION AT LEAST FOR A TIME BEING. THE CIRCUS THAT IS HAPPENING IN THE CONGRESS IS A SOLID ILLUSTRATION OF THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE THAT IF THE PEOPLE WILL NOT HELP HIM ACHIEVE HIS VISION NOTHING GOOD WILL HAPPEN TO US. CHANGING OF LEADERSHIP IN THE CONGRESS IS INEVITABLE BUT THE TIMING WAS SO WRONG. FORGIVE ME FOR SAYING THIS, THE HONORABLE BECOMES DISHONORABLE IN THE EYES OF BILLIONS OF PEOPLE WATCHING THE COVERAGE OF THE THIRD STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS...

I WAS DRAFTING  AN ORDINANCE THAT WILL PENALIZE THE PARENTS OF CHILDREN FOR LEAVING THEM UNATTENDED INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN I PASS BY AND SAW A FATHER AND MOTHER WITH THEIR TWO (2) CHILDREN INSIDE AN IMPROVISED WAGON.PARKED AT THE BUSY STREET. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE IMPROVISED WAGON IS VERY SPECIAL TO THE FAMILY BECAUSE IT SERVES AS THEIR HOME ASIDE FROM USING IT AS CARRIAGE OF THEIR COMMODITIES; CARTOONS, EMPTY PLASTIC BOTTLES AND WHATEVER SCRAPS THEY CAN SELL TO THE JUNK SHOP. I APPROACHED THEM AND ASKED THE MOTHER IF I CAN TAKE A PICTURE OF THEM. THE MOTHER WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING AND I WAS GIVEN PERMISSION TO TAKE PICTURES. THE CHILDREN WERE BOTH SICK MAYBE BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER (RAINY SEASON) OR BECAUSE OF THEIR LIVING CONDITION. THE BYSTANDERS PROMISED TO GIVE MEDICINES FOR HER CHILDREN. I TOLD THE MOTHER THAT I WILL FEATURE THEM IN MY BLOG. WITHOUT PROMISING ANYTHING, I SAID, WHO KNOWS ONE DAY MY GENEROUS READERS WILL TRY TO HELP THEM. ...

ISAIAH THOMAS DIMINUTIVE BUT DEADLY POINT GUARD A TALE OF LOYALTY

There are about twenty four thousand (24,000) registered tricycle units operating in Quezon City. There is no doubt that the tricycle plays a very important role in the life of the Filipinos especially in bringing their children from home to school and from school to home.. For most us, we consider the tricycle as the taxi of Mr. Juan Dela Cruz.  Like any other sector of our society, the Tricycle Sector needs an immediate attention and care from our government. It has been so long that this important sector of our society has been forgotten both by the National and Local Government. Lately, Councilor Ramon P. Medalla of the Second District delivered a privilege speech in the plenary of the Regular Session of the City Council of Quezon City entitled, " Tricycle ng Buhay Ko, may Forever ba Tayo,"  In his speech, he said, the tricycle sector was beset with difficulties. There are reports that the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and the Land Transpo...

It is unfortunate that things like this happens in sports not only once but in many instances.  Basketball is the name of the game and not a fistfights! As a basketball fanatic, and as a Filipino, I condemned this  unsportsmanlike attitude! As the Host, we should show them our hospitality!

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.

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.

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, CO...

IN THE PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE POPULARLY KNOWN AS THE ROBERT'S RULE, THERE ARE ONLY FEW INSTANCES TO ADJOURN THE MEETING WITHOUT A MOTION. SITUATIONS IN WHICH ADJOURNMENT CAN TAKE PLACE WITHOUT A MOTION ARE: WHEN THE HOUR ADOPTED FOR ADJOURNMENT HAS ARRIVED. THE CHAIR ANNOUNCES THE FACT, UNLESS YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE IS PRETTY QUICK TO MOVE TO SET ASIDE THE ORDERS OF THE DAY, THE MEETING MAY BE ADJOURNED BY DECLARATION. WHEN YOU REACH THE END OF THE AGENDA. THE CHAIR MAY JUST ASK WHETHER THERE'S ANYMORE BUSINESS, IF NO ONE ELSE SPEAK UP, THE PRESIDING OFFICER CAN DECLARE THE MEETING ADJOURNED. I BROUGHT UP THIS ISSUE, BECAUSE THERE IS A QUESTION HANGING ON OUR HEADS, AS THE COUNCILOR'S LEGISLATIVE STAFF RESPECTIVELY; WHETHER THE DECLARATION OF THE MEETING ADJOURNED BY THE HONORABLE CHAIR VICE MAYOR JOY BELMONTE DURING THE REGULAR SESSION OF THE 20TH CITY COUNCIL OF QUEZON CITY WAS PROPER OR NOT. AGAIN FOR THE SAKE OF CLARITY AS TO WHAT HAPPENED DU...

THE 62ND REGULAR SESSION OF THE 20TH CITY COUNCIL OF QUEZON CITY HELD YESTERDAY (MAY 28, 2018) ENDED WITHOUT FINISHING THE AGENDA BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF PROPER DECORUM. A COUNCILOR MUST EXHIBIT A REMARKABLE MODESTY AND DECORUM ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE PERFORMING THEIR LEGISLATIVE DUTY.  SOME OF THEM ARE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND IN THE SESSION AND DOING SOMETHING ELSE WHICH RESULTED TO THE DECLARATION OF THE SUSPENSION  OF THE SESSION BY THE CHAIR. TO GIVE MY READER A BACKGROUNDER, THERE ARE TWO IMPORTANT MEASURES IN THE AGENDA. ONE IS A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE ANNUAL INVESTMENT PLAN (AIP) OF SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION NO.1 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2018 IN THE AMOUNT OF FIVE BILLION, EIGHT HUNDRED EIGHTY THREE MILLION, EIGHT HUNDRED EIGHTY EIGHT  THOUSAND, SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY EIGHT PESOS (5,183,888,758.00) TO FUND VARIOUS MAINTENANCE AND OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES, PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT EXPENDITURES AND PROCUREMENT AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. AND THE OTHER ONE IS AN ORDINANC...

THE NEW SENATE PRESIDENT, SENATOR VICENTE "TITO" SOTTO IS A SEASONED POLITICIAN. HE IS THE MOST SENIOR AMONG THE SITTING SENATOR TODAY IN THE SENATE. ACCORDING TO HIM, HE WANTS TO BE HONEST AND NEUTRAL. THE VERY REASON WHY HE DOES NOT SIGN THE SENATE RESOLUTION AGAINST QUO WARRANTO BECAUSE HE BELIEVES THAT THE SUPREME COURT DECISION ON QUO WARRANTO PETITION HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IMPEACHMENT COMPLAIN AGAINST CHIEF JUSTICE MARIA LOURDES SERENO. HE ADDED THAT WHEN YOU STUDY IT FURTHER, YOU WILL FIND OUT THAT THE PETITION TO OUST CHIEF JUSTICE SERENO BY WAY OF QUO WARRANTO HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IMPEACHMENT. IT WAS ONLY LINK BY PEOPLE IN FAVOR OF IMPEACHMENT. TO PROVE THAT HIS ASSERTION IS RIGHT, HE CITED TO EXAMPLES. FIRST, HE CITED THE ELECTORAL PROTEST AGAINST VICE PRESIDENT LENI ROBLEDO, WHICH CAN BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE IF THE ELECTORAL TRIBUNAL DECIDES IN FAVOR OF FORMER SENATOR FERDINAND MARCOS JR. YES, THE SEASONED POLITICIAN IS RIGHT THAT VICE PRESIDENT...

THIS AFTERNOON (MAY 23,2018), WHILE ATTENDING THE COMMITTEE ON LAWS, I OBSERVED A VERY UNUSUAL THING THAT CATCHES MY ATTENTION. AS A BLOGGER, I BELIEVE WHAT I HAVE SEEN THAT TIME IS WORTHY  TO SHARE. THIS IS A STOLEN SHOT PICTURE OF COUNCILOR JULIENNE ALYSON RAE V. MEDALLA OF THE 5TH DISTRICT OF QUEZON CITY WHILE DELIBERATING AND DEFENDING HER MEASURE DURING THE COMMITTEE ON LAWS AND INTERNAL GOVERNMENT REGULAR COMMITTEE MEETING EVERY WEDNESDAY. WITH HER IS HER CUTE AND LOVELY DAUGHTER . COUNCILOR JULIENNE ALYSON RAE V. MEDALLA IS ALSO THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION. THIS IS A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF "MOTHERING IN THE WORKPLACE". TODAY, MORE MOTHERS WORK OUTSIDE THE HOME THAN EVER BEFORE. I LOVE TO SEE MORE OF THIS IN EVERY WORKPLACE. DESPITE OF THE RISING NUMBER OF WORKING MOTHERS IN THE WORKFORCE THEY STILL FACE TREMENDOUS DIFFICULTIES AND CHALLENGES.  AS A LEGISLATIVE STAFF, I LOVE TO SEE MORE MOTHERS IN THE WORKPLACE. THIS CAN ONLY BE R...

THE STORY OF CHIEF JUSTICE SERENO, A TOP RANKING GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES AND THE HEAD OF THE JUDICIAL BRANCH WHICH WAS RECENTLY REMOVED FROM HER OFFICE MADE ME WONDER HOW IT WAS HAPPENED? AND WHY IT  WAS HAPPENED? AND WHO ARE THE MASTERMINDS BEHIND THIS ORCHESTRATION? THE 1987 CONSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES - ARTICLE VIII, SECTION 2. SAYS: "NO LAW SHALL BE PASSED REORGANIZING THE JUDICIARY WHEN IT UNDERMINES THE SECURITY OF TENURE OF ITS MEMBERS. THE SECURITY OF TENURE OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE AND ITS MEMBERS ARE WELL PROTECTED BY THE 1987 PHILIPPINE CONSTITUTION. IN MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION, "QUO WARRANTO" IS NOT THE RIGHT PROCEDURE OF REMOVING AN IMPEACHABLE OFFICIAL BECAUSE IT UNDERMINES THE SECURITY OF TENURE OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE AND THE MEMBERS OF THE SUPREME COURT.
