These past few days, the aftermath of The Sulpicio Disaster, I have had some recurring images go through my mind, during work, in the mornings, and even in my nightmare-laden slumbers. That of the last moment of cousin Bebot.
Bebot was a sturdy figure, around 5′6″ in height, we call him “instik”, which means chinese, […]

According to my cousin’s wife, a teary eyed, hysteric wife at the moment mind you, the last text exchange is still on her phone.
(translated)
Bebot’s wife: Where are you now?
Bebot: We’re off Romblon, but the weather is getting worse, and the waves are getting high, dno’t text again, because I won’t be able to get a […]

Let’s keep these pardons going! Why not pardon mass murderers, rapists, and drug lords? We are a nation of enablers, letting these childish acts repeat themselves every few years. We can forgive almost anything these days.
What these soldiers did, I cannot condone. Neither will I condone a pardon.
As much disgust I […]

I’m not sure where to start, there’s been a lot happening as of late, but the first thing I should tackle is the death of Moses, Charlton Heston to be exact. I remember back in 2001, the man who had played Moses and Ben Hur, two great biblical figures, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

Former Senior Government officials, 71 in all, have again issued a statement, they listed five demands. The demands are reasonable, and in the spirit of TRUTH, President Gloria Arroyo should heed these calls. However, it’s a long shot, and even Arroyo’s recent dumping of Executive Order 464 will again fall on deaf ears […]

I’m screaming and fuming when I learn of such things as what has happened in the latest Supreme Court case regarding Romulo Neri’s constant use of Executive Privilege in order to evade answering and providing the TRUTH. He will attend The Senate’s Friday hearing into the NBN deal, but is still allowed to use […]

I received a comment on one of my posts from a certain Art Magno. He relayed to me the information that a blog has been set up by a group calling themselves Patriots for Truth. Although, I do not condone their one sided blitz against Lozada, I am furnishing a copy here […]

Today, there is an interfaith rally in Makati. A Stand for truth, justice and change. There is a call for resignation. There is one voice among many. A united front. The Arroyo Administration is taking notice. Their fear is growing in proportion to the ever increasing calls for the […]

I guess I’m not the only one skeptical and weary of Dante Madriaga. After all, if his testimony is bought hook line and sinker, and then later recants, it will be to the detriment of The Senate and the proceedings regarding the NBN deal. What if Madriaga later says he was forced to […]

The big story as of late is the words coming out of Higher Education Chair Romulo Neri during a December 7 meeting with Jun Lozada, Senator Panfilo Lacson and Senator Jamby Madrigal. The words, according to Lozada, was that Neri said President Arroyo is “Evil”. Neri would later and in many other announcements […]

The other day I watched Harapan: The Jun Lozada exposé. At first, like most people, I thought that it would be a head on battle between Benjamin Abalos and Rodolfo “Jun” Lozada. It turned out to be Jun Lozada versus Abalos, General Razon, A. Sec. Formoso, and Golez.
There were so many parts during […]

ZTE and NBN scandal whistleblower, Joey De Venecia spoke at the Anti Arroyo Rally held yesterday in Makati. As thousand flocked to show dismay against President Gloria Arroyo, Joey De Venecia started off his message by telling the First Gentleman to “back off”. Now, he’s no Martin Luther King Jr, and his tendency […]
