MT. PAMITINAN

I DO NOT EXACTLY KNOW THE HISTORY OF MOUNT PAMITINAN IN BARANGAY WAWA MONTALBAN RIZAL WHICH IS KNOWN TODAY AS RODRIGUEZ RIZAL. BUT THE WORD PAMITINAN IS A TAGALOG DIALECT WHICH MEANS "HANGING" OR BETTER KNOWN BY MOUNTAINEERS AS CLIFFHANGERS. A STORY OR EVENT WITH A STRONG ELEMENT OF SUSPENSE. MOUNTAIN CLIMBING IS A STORY OR EVENT WITH A STRONG ELEMENT OF SUSPENSE. MOUNT PAMITINAN HAS AN APPROXIMATE HEIGHT OF BETWEEN 400-500 METERS ABOVE SEA LEVEL. WE STARTED OUR QUEST AS EARLY AS 4:00AM. SOME TREKKERS STARTED TREKKING (LEG JOURNEY) AT 4:30AM ACCOMPANIED BY THEIR GUIDES. OUR TEAM (ALL BEGINNERS) STARTED OUR LEG JOURNEY AT 5:00AM. THERE ARE DIFFERENT DRAMA'S AND STORIES TO BE TOLD BEFORE REACHING THE PEAK OR SUMMIT. SOME OF OUR TEAM MEMBERS WANTED TO QUIT BUT WE PUSH THEM TO GO ON BELIEVING IN HIMSELF/HERSELF THAT THEY CAN DO IT. SLOWLY BUT SURELY, WE MOVE TOGETHER AS A TEAM. OUR GUIDE TOLD US THAT IF WE FEEL TIRED DON'T HESITATE TO CA...

LOTTO DAYS WILL BE OVER SOON

IN A LOTTERY, IN WHICH YOU PICK 6 NUMBERS FROM A POSSIBLE POOL OF 49 NUMBERS YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING THE JACKPOT ARE 1 IN 13,983,816. THAT IS ONE SHOT IN 14 MILLION. OF COURSE IF I AM LUCKY ENOUGH AND HIT THE JACKPOT AMOUNTING TO HUNDRED MILLION DEDUCTING A 20% FROM IT IS NOT A BIG PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH I SUSPECT THE GOVERNMENT AGENCY RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH DEDUCTION ON WHETHER THE MONEY THAT ARE EXTRACTED FROM THE LOTTERY WINNINGS WILL BE USED FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSES. BASED ON WHAT WE HAVE BEEN OBSERVED, ONLY A PORTION OF IT WILL GOES TO PUBLIC SERVICE AND THE BIGGEST CHUNK OF IT GOES STRAIGHT TO THEIR PERSONAL POCKETS. THINK ABOUT THIS, HOW MANY CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS DURING THEIR TERM OF OFFICE CREATED JOBS FOR THEIR CONSTITUENTS. LET US LOOK AT THEIR LIVES AND LIFESTYLES THEY BECOME RICHER AND RICHER WHILE THE PEOPLE THEY SERVE (THIS IS WHAT THEY SAY) BECOMES POORER AND POORER AND PINNING HOPES IN A LOTTERY THAT ONE DAY THEY WILL BECOME A MILLIONAIRE. UNKNOWINGLY, M...

GOOD LUCK PHILIPPINE CHARITY SWEEPSTAKES

FOR SO MANY YEARS THE PHILIPPINE CHARITY SWEEPTAKES IS EARNING BILLIONS OF PESOS AND WAS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE BEST SOURCES OF GOVERNMENT FUNDS FOR CHARITABLE SERVICES. DESPITE OF THE HUNDRED PERCENT INCREASE OF ITS BET FROM TEN PESOS TO TWENTY PESOS, FILIPINOS STILL PATRONIZE THIS GAMES OF CHANCE HOPING THAT ONE DAY LUCK SMILES AT THEM. ANOTHER FAST RISING GAMES OF CHANCE OF THE PHILIPPINE CHARITY SWEEPSTAKES IS KENO. IT IS BELIEVED TO SURPASS THE COMBINED SALES OF LOTTO 6/42, 6/45, 6/49, 6/55 AND 6/58 IN THE YEARS TO COME. BUT LATELY, A BAD NEWS STRUCK THE GAMES OF CHANCE PLAYERS WHEN LOTO OUTLETS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY POSTED A BULLETIN BOARD THAT SAYS; “WINNINGS OF MORE THAN TEN THOUSAND PESOS ARE TAXABLE OF TWENTY PERCENT IN CLOSE PARENTHESIS ORDERED BY BUREAU OF INTERNAL REVENUE (BIR). THIS IS A RIDICULOUS MEMORANDUM COMING FROM THE BUREAU OF INTERNAL REVENUE. A GAME OF CHANCE IS A GAME OF CHANCE MEANING IT IS NEAR TO IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN HUGE MONEY FROM ANY GAMES THEY P...

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 ...

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.
