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 ...

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 ...

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...

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...

Who says that a handicapped persons cannot live a happy and normal life? In fact, they do, and some of them are much more happier and contented  than most of us. When I was a teenager doing missionary work in Davao, I went to a place, known by folks living nearby as the "Paradise of the Blind" . Living with them, even for a short period of time, is one of the treasured memories in my whole life. It amazes me, that though they were blind, they can do almost everything like a man with sight. It is my first time to see a blind man climbing a coconut tree, picking up, and husking coconut fruits. And mind you the landscape of their vegetation was so pictured perfect from all angles and directions. Their own houses was so neat and clean. Everything was in order. They cook their own food and wash their own dishes. There is no dull moment for me staying with them, I wished I could stayed longer. We shared a lot of things together. But I need to go and bid them goodby...

A PROMISING COUNCILOR FROM DISTRICT II IN THE NAME OF COUNCILOR JULIENNE ALYSON RAE V. MEDALLA FILED AN ORDINANCE MANDATING ALL BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENTS IN QUEZON CITY TO GIVE THE EXACT AMOUNT OF CHANGE TO ALL CONSUMERS. THE SAID PROPOSED CITY ORDINANCE WILL NOT ONLY PROTECT EVERY CONSUMERS TO RECEIVE THE EXACT CHANGE IN THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THAT THEY PURCHASED BUT ALSO GIVING THEM A SENSE OF RESPECT TO EVERY SINGLE CENTAVO. THE PROPOSED  CITY ORDINANCE OF THE SAID YOUNG BUT DYNAMIC QUEZON CITY LADY COUNCILOR FONDLY CALLED "ALY" BY HER FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS IS VERY TIMELY AND IMPORTANT. AT FIRST, I WAS NOT ABLE TO APPRECIATE ITS IMPORTANCE UNTIL ONE TIME. I READ SOMEONE'S LETTER ADDRESS TO CONSUMERLINE OF CHING  M. ALANO,  PHILIPPINE STAR RESIDENT COLUMNIST  DATED APRIL 12, 2011. THIS IS THE EXACT LETTER OF A CONCERNED CITIZEN. DEAR CONSUMERLINE: ABOUT A YEAR AGO, I WROTE YOU ABOUT AN EXPERIENCE I HAD WITH A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT, WHERE THE...

valsarteprivateeyes.blogspot.com ACCORDING TO THE DICTIONARY, ETYMOLOGY IS THE STUDY OF THE ORIGIN OF WORDS AND THE WAY IN WHICH THEIR MEANINGS HAVE CHANGED THROUGHOUT HISTORY. TO BETTER UNDERSTAND ANY GIVEN WORDS, WE NEED TO TRACE BACK ITS ORIGIN AND USAGE. FOR INSTANCE, THE WORD POLITICS, IT COMES FROM THE GREEK WORD  Πολιτικά  WHICH MEANS "AFFAIRS OF THE CITIES". AND THOSE WHO STUDY THE AFFAIRS OF THE CITY ARE CALLED POLITICOS OR POLITICIANS. MERRIAM-WEBSTER DEFINES POLITICS AS THE ART OR SCIENCE OF GOVERNMENT. BUT FOR SOME, IT IS MORE OF AN ART THAN SCIENCE. THE TERM POLITICS WAS INTRODUCED BY THE GREEK PHILOSOPHER ARISTOTLE, WHO DEFINED IT AS A  CIVILIZED  FORM OF COMMUNITY. POLITICS IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR MODERN SOCIETY. IT HAS A COMPLEX AND MULTI-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE. THERE ARE LOT OF SOCIAL, POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL GROUPS OR SECTORS IN OUR SOCIETY AND THEY ARE DISTINCT AND UNIQUE FROM EACH OTHER. THESE STRUCTURES OPERATES FREELY...

WE ARE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE! THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES BECOMES THE PLAYGROUND OF CONGRESSMEN AND CONGRESSWOMEN WITH DELIRIOUS MINDS. A MIND THAT IS NOT CAPABLE OF DISTINGUISHING WHAT IS REASONABLE AND WHAT IS NOT. THEY FORGOT THAT WHEN THEY CONVENED AS A COLLEGIATE BODY, THEY WORK AS ONE, IRRESPECTIVE OF THEIR POLITICAL COLORS OR PERSUASIONS.  THE CONGRESSMEN WHO BELONGS TO THE MAJORITY BLOC ACCUSED THE COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS CHAIRPERSON CHITO GASCON OF SIDING WITH LIBERAL PARTY DOES PROMOTING AND PROPAGATING THE INTEREST OF THE LIBERAL PARTY. THE CONGRESS PLAYED THE NUMBER GAME, WHERE THE MAJORITY ALWAYS WIN BY OUTNUMBERING THE MINORITY. IN THIS CASE, CONGRESSMEN ALLIES OF THE PRESIDENT VOTED IN FAVOR OF THE 1000 ANNUAL BUDGET OF THE COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS. THIS IS BAD POLITICS. THEY ACT AS IF THE MONEY COMES DIRECTLY FROM THEIR RESPECTIVE POCKETS AND THE COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS IS AT THEIR MERCY.        ...
