VOIDING AMNESTY

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: 
  1. MASSIVE CHEATING IN 2004 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
  2. THE JOSE PIDAL ACCOUNT.
  3. THE PLUNDER OF MAJOR GENERAL CARLOS GARCIA.
  4. THE UNEXPLAINED WEALTH OF PAGCOR CHAIRMAN EFRAIM GENUINO.
  5. THE MOST EXPENSIVE ROAD IN THE WORLD, THE MACAPAGAL HIGHWAY AND MUCH MORE.
CORRUPTION IN THE GOVERNMENT TAKES DIFFERENT FORMS. IT KEEPS ON EVOLVING FROM ONE FORM TO ANOTHER. THE "BRUSKO" LOOKING SENATOR ANOTONIO TRILLANES IS RELENTLESS TO FIGHT CORRUPTION AND WAS A STAUNCH CRITICS OF WHOEVER RUNS THE AFFAIR OF THE COUNTRY AND IN THIS TIME, PRESIDENT RODRIGO ROA DUTERTE.

WE MAY NOT LIKE HIS STYLE, BUT IN A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY SUCH AS OURS, WE NEED MUCH OF HIM AS GOVERNMENT NEUTRALIZER. 

THE PRESIDENT WAR ON DRUG IS AN ISSUE SUBJECT TO PEOPLE'S SCRUTINY AND WHY NOT? THERE ARE SUFFICIENT REASONS TO DOUBT HIS SINCERITY IN HIS BATTLE AGAINST DRUG.

SENATOR ANTONIO TRILLANES DRAG, THE PRESIDENTIAL SON AS MEMBER OF TRIAD SYNDICATE. IT IS A SERIOUS ACCUSATION THAT NEEDS TO BE PROVEN. BUT TRILLANES HAD BALLS TO STAND FOR HIS BELIEF THAT THE PRESIDENTIAL SON INDEED HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ILLEGAL DRUGS THAT ESCAPE IN THE WATCHFUL EYES OF THE BUREAU OF CUSTOMS.

WHAT AN IRONY, STREET PUSHERS AND USERS WERE EXECUTED AT LEAST IN THE MIND OF THE PEOPLE WHILE NO ONE IN THE BUREAU OF CUSTOM WERE PUT IN JAIL. 

ONE THING MORE, SENATOR ANTONIO TRILLANES WAS NEVER ACCUSED OF ANYTHING WITH RESPECT TO MISUSING THE PUBLIC FUNDS OR THE MONEY OF THE PEOPLE. IF MY ASSERTION IS RIGHT, SENATOR TRILLANES NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN CORRUPTION.

GOING BACK TO REVIVING HIS CASE ON THE GROUNDS OF AB INITIO  OR VOID FROM THE BEGINNING, THERE ARE STANDARD NORMS THAT ARE VIOLATED BY THIS PROCLAMATION.OF PRESIDENT DUTERTE. 

  1. IT IS UNETHICAL FOR DUTERTE'S ADMINISTRATION VOIDING OUT THE AMNESTY GIVEN BY PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION. 
  2. SINGLING OUT SENATOR TRILLANES IS ANOTHER. OUT OF THE SO MANY WHY TRILLANES ALONE?
  3. DOES THE INSTIGATOR, SOLICITOR GENERAL CALIDA HAS THE MORAL ASCENDANCY TO FACILITATE THE INVESTIGATION?
  4. WHEN AN AMNESTY WAS GIVEN, HIS PAST SINS WAS ALSO FORGIVEN.
  5. THE LOST OF THE DOCUMENTS SHOULD BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE GOVERNMENT.
  6. THERE ARE MANY OTHERS.
THE CONTROVERSIAL PROCLAMATION OF DUTERTE VOIDING OUT THE AMNESTY GIVEN TO TRILLANES DIVIDE THE PEOPLE AND SO TO SPEAK THE NATION.

I DO NOT WANT THE NATION TO BE DIVIDED CAUSE IT HARMS NOT THEM SITTING IN THE GOVERNMENT BUT THE LESS FORTUNATE ONE.

WE NEED TO STAND FOR WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS BETTER FOR THE COUNTRY. IF OUR GOVERNMENT REMAINS LIKE THIS, THERE IS NOTHING LEFT FOR OUR COUNTRY.

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.

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...

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...
