Pilipino, Pilipino ang Lahi Ko…

For the record, I am not a Manny Pacquiao fan. Or of boxing for that matter.
I wasn’t able to watch the fight but was informed earlier in the day that Pacquiao won by TKO on the second round. And every one in our compound was shouting with jubilation.
As usual everything halt and all [...]

I was so busy this whole week for the national workshop of young people for peace and human rights.
It was only yesterday that I was able to read in passing the reports on Ma. Lourdes Arroyo’s election as Partylist representative. She is supposed to represent the entrepreneur sector like the balut vendors and other [...]

Scrap VFA!

Back in college, when I join a student activist organization, VFA was the issue of the day. It was even the rallying call on Erap’s SONA.
My first task I remember for the campaign was to make a placard with the words “Junk VFA!.” Not really understanding the issue I followed the lead and made 10 [...]

WtF!: RP Needs a 3-Year Transition President in 2010 – Norberto Gonzales

Upon reading the headline of this news my reaction was WtF**K!
Mr. Gonzales, do you know what dysfunctional means? Have you really thought of this before blurting out this advise? It’s like saying your boss is dysfunctional for she calls the shot right now.

The Arroyo’s and Charter Change

INQUIRER Headline: Charter Change only 20 votes shy
And it ruined my day. I was really appalled and revolted to read how the HOR is being transformed into nothing but PGMA’s number game.
Even if the Arroyo brothers are constantly cleaning their hands on this machination, their stench are all over it that denying can easily be [...]
