The selling of our democracy has been done on a wholesale basis. No longer are our votes bought on an individual basis, this is small stuff compared to the wholesale stealing of our votes. This is why, when I heard of the death of Wynne Asdala, the acting director of the Commission on […]
I couldn’t believe my eyes, as I read a post over at Uniffors.com, as Manuel B. received a text from The Arroyo camp which read,
Let’s try to be true Christians and pray for God’s healing powers to benefit Cory in body and attitude. Might be the Lord’s way to convert us all. In the process […]
Fair warning, this is a semi movie review of Stop-Loss. While the movie wasn’t as entertaining as I would have hoped, and included long and dragging scenes, it did however hit the core concept of what the director wanted to convey. That this Iraq war is affecting everyone, including the families, and most […]
The more I hear some of these Bishops kiss ass in order to feed their own hunger for the monetary donations that come reigning down upon them as long as they tow the line, the more my faith is hit. But not to God, but to these Bishops who, after all, are just human. […]
Net neutrality. The basic fundamental principle that we, the consumer, the average citizen, have the right to “our” internet our ability to access any “web site we want, whenever we want, at the fastest speed, whether it’s a corporate or mom-and-pop site”. Use “any service we like — watching online video, listening […]
It seemed like there was a tide of awakening and realization of the extent of the corruption in this Arroyo Administration and the potential to finally have her made accountable. This awakening and realization has also made us all aware indeed, the true extent. Even as The Spratly issue and the NBN scandal […]
Just writing that title is almost blasphemous in my family. I literally have the whole male side of my family as enthusiasts in this “sport”. Although, I may have inherited a different gene, I never had the fancy or interest in this “sport” one bit. I never liked the idea of betting […]
The Supreme Court has ruled, 9-6 in favor of Neri, he is allowed to invoke Executive Privilege. We, the people, have lost our right to know what is happening in our government. The Senate is no longer a co-equal body. And we are fast becoming a nation under a dictatorship.
Of course, […]
This is the delight for which The Bush Administration must face when they make themselves the mouthpiece of a propaganda that started on 9/11. 4,000 American soldiers dead. Thousands, of dead Iraqis, and no end in sight. An enemy they lost focus on, and new enemies they create everyday. The Bush […]
The health of Former President Cory Aquino is not well. The Aquino family has announced that The Former President has colon cancer and is in a hospital.
From The Inquirer,
A weeping Kris, with her brother, Senator Benigno Aquino III beside her, said their family is asking for “compassion and prayers for our Mom’s recovery.”
“Our mother […]
I am Cebuano, and that is something no one can take away from me. I am proud to be from Cebu, and that pride grows stronger each day. And yet, when I make statements regarding Cardinal Vidal, those in disagreement, especially fellow Cebuanos, interject when I criticize the beloved Cardinal. They ask […]
As Filipinos, we are witness to the yearly and extreme traditions and rites that only a handful dare to even try. We have flagellants who strike themselves and the most extreme of all, is submitting oneself to a present day crucifixion.
Every year on Good Friday, Christian believers in the Philippines undergo crucifixion as a […]
There is a call for all Filipinos, a call of sacrifice. Whether it is during Holy Week, or any other week of the year, we know that our nation can only grow stronger if each one of us contributes to the common good. Contributing without taking selfishly, and taking only the portion amount […]
The situation in Tibet is very serious, and because of some conflicting reports and some unverified news coming from the region, including announcements from Beijing itself, there are theories surfacing as to how and why it even got to this point. Although, the why could easily be traced to the deep rooted resentment of […]
The biggest story to come out in the last week in The Democratic Race for their nomination for The President of The United States is that of the 20 year pastor of Barack Obama and the videos that have been propping up in news outlets and Youtube. The video below is just one of […]
I had a copy sent to me a few weeks ago at the height of the NBN controversy in which according to the testimony of Jun Lozada, his friend Romulo Neri as well as Lacson had a meeting in which Neri provided an overview of corruption in The Philippines. Now, if you really want […]
