i agree with p-noy's policy of no wang wang, but then again him as being president should reserve the right to use the wang wang. first and foremost, safety is paramount and he being the president make it more difficult for his security to protect his well being. he also need not place place above, but I think that ordinary people will understand if he uses it to attend to his duties as president. for others, well be ordinary just like the rest of the citizenry, console yourself with all the graft and corruption, bribes and kickbacks you get or will receive in the future

Simpleng kautusan lang ang pababawal ng wang-wang at sirena. Bakit ngayon lang ito ipinapatupad? Siguro hindi lang wang-wang ang dapat ipagbawal. Siguro dapat na rin tigilan ang kapamilya ng bawa't opisyal na gumamit ng sasakyan ng gobyerno sa pang personal na lakad at gamitin sa official business na lamang. Dapat mabuti bago igawad na official ang paglalakbay sa ibang bansa. At siguro naman napakalakas ng sinasabi sa kampanya ng Presidente Noynoy. "Kung Walang Corrupt, Walang Mahirap". Umpisan nyo na rin maging sensitive sa mga taong gumagawa ang corruption or nanghihingi ng tong. Dapat lang taong bayan ang maguna sa pagbabantay ng tiwaling gawain ng mga taong nanungkulan sa pamahalaan. Congratulations!

What leap forward after Nonoy became President? He is just trying to tell us when comes to driving that we Filipinos in the Philippines don’t have any idea how to drive. Reason Manila and other Philippine cities are congested in traffic; we have many drivers that should not be driving on the road. They drive in the sidewalks, don’t stop on a red light, and don’t know the meaning of STOP, crossing the thick yellow lines even the traffic cops can’t even read those traffic signs, in other words, the traffic problems in Manila are caused by many idiots. Get rid of these idiots, traffic in Manila and other cities will be better.

Banning the use of siren is a band-aid approach to a larger issue of traffic management other than narrower roads and volume of vehicles. You could probably mitigate the arrogant display of power by the rich by removing their sirens and blinking lights but you could never stop the noise (repeated blowing of horns by irritating motorists to move while traffic enforcers just watch) and tail pipe emissions that pollute the environment of harmful contaminants from idling vehicles. WANG WANG IS A DIVERSION!

Noynoy Aquino the clueless president of the Philippines claiming that Trillanes the disloyal, insubordinate and opportunists soldier was a victim of Arroyo. Again, shut your mouth and let the justice prevail. You are not the judge, I don't give a sh#t if you are the President, you are not above the law. If Trillanes is guilty of treason, then let him face the firing squad, or maybe you can't because you don't have the backbone.

Owners of private vehicles do not use their sirens or blinkers to violate traffic signals but rather to prod other motorists to move and not hug the road. Only government officials use their sirens and blinkers to go past red lights. Traffic enforcers are not keeping the traffic moving; they are waiting for their "lagay from drivers of public utility vehicles. If this is not the situation, what is? The old farts have always something negative to say. Bring them out retards!

Simple things in order to be genuine don't have to be extraordinary. Pres. Aquino set a very simple example..got rid of the wang-wang & obeyed traffic that public officials must comply with their duties. It stimulated a response & motivated others to follow. Filipinos have wondered for a long time if ever we'll achieve order in the streets of MM. Our president did. He practised what he preaches. Set good examples. When we watch him on TV, he's casually attired & very modest in behaviour. Good signs cuz he doesn't indulge in frivolity or false pretense. What you see is what you get. Simple but effective.

The slogan "no man is above the law" represents one of our noblest aspirations: equality, justice, opportunity, hope, and so forth. It furnishes an institutional legal framework, without it that functioning of private (market) or public (government institutions) will be highly problematic. In other words, it undergirds the political system, & the economic system as well. PNL is right, even presidents, ministers, & other elected public servants are not above the law. Everyone must follow the law, which is "the the lamp that lights civilization", as Euripides said.

Is Philippine Democracy capable of producing substantive outcomes that advance the health & well-being of the people? If not, what's to be done to bring a more equitable & democratic society? A scholar of democracy once recommended some possible solutions: democratize the media, democratize the judiciary, reform taxes, labor law, revise fiscal policy, increase employment, improve agriculture, and so forth.

I think one of the questions on current events section on Philippine Teachers' Board Examination in the 90's was: "When reason ends faith begins." I do believe that the late Senator Aquino coined the phrase ("when reason ends faith begins"), but it didn't originate from the great Ninoy Aquino, but from the thinkers of the antiquity hundreds or thousand years ago. The original formulation of the phrase was "when rationality ends faith begins." This will reveal that the late Ninoy Aquino was a voracious reader & a progressive thinker.

The old farts from upstate NY and the 6 digit income retiree (petty officers) from the south were very critical of me posting a lot of nonsense and void of relevance to current . I do not do soliloquy, scare people with apocalyptic visions, and restate news headlines with no answer to the question: so what then? I do not claim that I could accelerate weight gain among chickens and pigs and flood the market with meat in 7-8 weeks from birth. I never tell my fellowmen that they are being sent to Japan as cheap labor while I drive a Japanese car and use Japan made electronics.

The primary criteria of P-Noy's appointee is that he/she should have delicadeza (propriety). Someone who don't kapit tuko in the position when public clamor demands vacating the position. The appointee should be someone who don't cling to legality but to morality of the issue. Japanese officials are the best when it comes to delicadeza

I would like to add (to MCD) that not only OFWs but those balikbayans (mostly coming from States) are subjected to this kind of hassles of being scrutinized even by security guards (who don't have any business checking your immigration documents) pretending to be looking for something obviously as MCD puts it in 'aid of extortion'. And I'm wondering why terminal fees for int'l is very much expensive compared to domestic travel at Manila airport when all passengers are using the same kind of facility. As far as I know it is only in our country where passengers are subjected to terminal fees, which is very reprehensible since not only are our facility still in low class category but these OFWs/balikbayans are pouring dollars into the country.

Street sweepers, garbage collectors must be honest, budget for pesticides for mosquitoes and cockroaches, to mandate officials the continuous/regular inspection in the vicinities and regular report to the Department where they belong to maintain cleanliness in the country and to other problems. I think President Aquino should ask the Governors and Mayors "REGULAR REPORTS" from their provinces. How's the Jueteng, the Cleanliness and the Corruption. After, send one to inspect. We have bad experiences in the past administrations - no interest, no concern for the country. Changes depends on how the officials concerned will do their duties as head.

GFJB HEDF: Re the closure of the U.S. bases in RP. You know then, that the U.S. was "downsizing", right? So when the RP Congress optioned not to extend the "lease" (almost a billion dollars) of Clark and Subic Bay it was not only a COINCIDENCE, the U.S. all along planned closure. It was made easier (the decision) by Mt. Pinatubo, the clean-up of which would have cost millions (if not billion) to the U.S. And the greatest reason why they would have closed the bases anyway is that, with today's weapons technology, they don't need advanced or proximate infantry and weapons in the enemy's territories. From the U.S. Mainland, the ICBMs alone will reach the enemies wherever they are located. or close to that.

You heard the saying "ang taong nagigipit, sa patalim kumakapit", right? That's exactly why ocws will accept any charges, expensive or otherwise. They will always think "kapag nandodoon na, mababawi rin lahat iyan". The recruiters and regulators, govt. or private are aware of these so they (govt. and recruiters) take advantage of it.

JoeCL of Burbank, CA: Until Medicare (SS) will reverse itself, particularly your posting that Makati Medical and St. Luke's bills will be accepted, I stand on what I said "Medicare will not cover expenses outside the U.S." Before I went to RP for medical reason (to have ONE UP's and Shane do not knowell brains examined for possible transplant) I called Medicare, twice, just to be sure. The answer was always negative. The Medicare rep might be wrong, just like the IRS. But just the same, you may want to verify it yourself down the road. The Medicare rules might change by then. BTW, as I posted a kanonized person I knew well, retired in 'Pinas, have to fly back to U.S. for P.E. and hospitalization. It will come out cheaper than in RP.

Ramon C. Balde: I disagree with you when you said it will take 6 months for Pacquiao to train for his next fight therefore absconding in his responsibility as congressman. Or something like that. If he really trained for 6 months before (which was not) it's because "wala lang siyang magawa". Three months max (or lesser) would be sufficient to train in boxing. In fact his absence in Congress while training may not be noticed; in fact it will be welcomed by the others since Pacquiao don't need those "patongs", he might just be a pain in the ass for them. If you understand what I mean.

Of course out of toll revenue which is very profitable for them; with the govt. getting a very small cut. Now don't tell tonyO and 7gtng the RP govt. or any govt. in the world for that matter will allow foreigners to build and own the roads in their country.

Deo-dorant does not know that STLC (is foreign company from KL, Malaysia) given the right to build, maintain and collect tolls under a 25 lease agreement with the Phil government. Foreign investors could not own utilities in the country but only the right to use the country's natural resources as a concessionaire. YOU ARE AN INTELLECTUAL DISASTER DEO-dorant!

I've been posting this and will keep posting until this point will settle in the minds of the posters re Graft and Corruption. The last posting I made about this is "I hope these officials knew that they will be working for peanuts". FYI, the president's in this case Aquino, salary is P50,000 a month or about $1,200 or $300/week give or take a few aluminum centavo. 7gtng makes more than that in overtime alone. So the obviousity is as clear as mud, department and bureau "big chiefs" salaries are lesser. What "great chief" or "big chief" can live with P50,000 a month or less? They have to think of "remedy" (in Pinoy "remedyo") about this. So forget about abolishing G&C. Although I must admit, ONE UP, SHANE KNOWELL and KUYA EDDIE are really praying hard that it can be done.

The expectation of the people on P-Noy is so high that I am so frightened that a simple and innocent misstep would easily be over-magnified and treated as failure. Once failure is perceived, it is obvious that frustration and disillusionment follow. So far, much of P-Noy’s time has been expended on making presidential appointments (rewarding friends and political allies) with zero talks on possible reorganizations and streamlining of function to promote efficiency, which reduces the cost of running a government. I look at banning the use of sirens and applying the ban on the President himself and requiring media sensitivity seminar for cabinet members as a distraction and a folly. It creates only a system of illusion.

LATEPOCA: You asked and I quote "Are there no capable Muslims who can handle Cabinet positions?" LATEPOCA it is no longer presence or absence of a Muslim officials. Just like the Muslims of the world, their eyes are opened after reading what the Koran says. In the same token that Christians, especially Catholics, too. Take our friend Manuel C. Diaz. I'm sure growing up he was not aware of what he is saying now until he had read the Bible (whether he is Protestant or Catholic). This is true with me. I've never read a Bible until I started checking-in in hotels and that is while sitting in the "throne". I keep to myself what I've read. But Manuel C. Diaz and the Muslims don't so their thought are "radicalized". Right MCD?

Lusitro at DepEd unless P-Noy has the desire to have an ecumenical cabinet. With the earlier Pangandman incident in the golf course and the Maguindanoa massacre involving the Ampatuans, I don't think Noynoy will compromise his principle and take the moral high ground.

In the news: "SC Rules Belatedly Solon Didn't Qualify For House Seat". This is the case of a certan Villanueva who was elected to represent the youth sector under the Party-list system. The allegation was that he was past the age of 30 (the max age limit) at the time of the election. What I was dying to know is when did he turned 31? You see in the U.S., a person don't get one year older until another year had actually passed, that is if he turned 30 say on May 14, 2006 he is still 30 until May 13, 2007. It is been my experienced in RP a day after your birthday, you are already one year older, that is if it's my birthday today July 17, 2010 I'm 25 by tomorrow, July 18, 2010 I'm 26. That was then.

Juan Domingo: I have the tendency to agree with you that the Catholic church should teach it's flock "to stop worshiping a graven image". Or something like that. But you see, Juan Domingo, different people or in this case different religion have different strokes. In my case, since I was created in God's image, I sometimes pray before an image which look like me rather than pray before a blank wall, in the forest because I am to be attack by a ferocious bear, or open space. At least, I can imagine the presence of that Being who "created me in His image". My chance is same as yours of being heard, right?

I took the test for the position of Accountant II of a County govt. in California way back in 1973. In my heart I thought my grades in Accounting and Auditing of 1.25 to 1.75 were good enough, so with confidence as required I submitted by Transcript of Records. Post tests, after most of the 250 plus examinees were called and only two were left, my name was called. I placed second! During the interview stage of the process, I have to explained to the interviewers the seemingly "low grades" I obtained in Accounting subjects in school. Whew!

MARIE | I want you to think for a moment about this logic: God created the righteous Lucifer. Lucifer then created the wicked Satan. Finally Lucifer became Satan himself. Ergo, Satan was created by GOD. Butiki slayer will disagree and raise hell. I understand. He has no logic.

Butiki molester|Awareness of wang wang by government people is not the issue. The roads were built for horse drawn carts and not for ten-wheelers. The roads are small and just too many vehicles! Why do you think small cars and bicycles are popular in Europe? If you have not been there, don't even bother to answer. FAIR ENOUGH?

DEO - dorant | Having a relative who is a member of the USAFE in 1941 does not qualify you as an authority on the 200K Pinoys who fought bravely with the Americans in WWII but eventually lost their claim as US veterans and even the path to naturalization and citizenship under the War Powers Act. You have no clue as to what the Rescission Act of 1941 is. Do you? If you do, allow me to learn from you then.

A tutorial in votation raised question as to the mental ability of Sen. Pangilinan & Drilon to assume Senate Presidency. This was in connection w/ the citizenship of the late FPJr. that was forged by Manapat to disqualify FPJr. in 2004. Mr. Drilon was then SP & Pangilinan was the MF Leader. In the votation 9-0-9, the 2 trapos affirmed that it is a tie vote as I read the column of Mr. Raval today. This was Mr. Drilon's interpretation before that an abstention vote is a NO vote. W/ Pangilinan deciding the matter, 9-0-9 (y-n-a) is a tie vote. We learned in Phil. Gov't. that a vote of abstention is null & void & cannot be counted. Mr. "NOTED" Pangilinan would not be a good SP if chosen. cannot be considered a vote & therefore, nullified.

Suggestion to Marie trying hard fishers of men: I suggest you stop while you are ahead. You can't win die-hard non-believers to your GOD. What will happen instead is they will end up peeling your skin and expose the demon in you. If you think it is heroic for you to defend your belief, you are also wrong. For there is no need to defend Him. Your action on the other hand appears like you are 'nagpapalakas sa maykapal'. Or it can be interpreted as a status symbol to be born-again religious person.. 'I go to heaven you go to hell' kind of badge that the rookie evangelists wear. Maybe take a crash course on selling.

Someone is nitpicking: " So now Pacquiao is getting ready for his next fight. Training for such an event takes about six months which only means that that's six months out of a year that he would be less concentrated on the people and the district he represents.." There are 24 hours in a day. And a conditioned cardiovascular system will probably be more productive during those few hours that pacman will spend 'serving his constituents'. Napanood ko sa movies on Ancient Rome, their warriors almost always end up very effective leaders. In fact it was a requirement for the leaders to be also strong physically. Hindi tulad nang karamihan diyang policitians na malalaki tiyan.

Its a trick! that worked. Now that increasing number of forum posters are siding with Edward of LV. He really has no choice but to 'fine tune' his posts up to specification (i.e. gentlemanly). Otherwise he might end up offending his supporters. There is also the possibility of gaining more support to his side. This forum is a good specimen for social scientists. Good tip for those 'fishers of men' wannabees.

Poverty (run away population) in the Philippines can be perceived as a culpable negligence of corrupt politicians & the follies & miscarriages of justice. Public servants, who are product of a comical silver of academia or university life kuno failed to make a policy of allocating more resources to public schools. Even scholars believe that education will benefit the poor of reducing birth rate---increasing the female education level. It's a problem of education on the have-nots. Mostly the upper middle-class children receive substantial educational opportunities. Moreover, it is self-evident that even well-educated leaders (Arroyo, Marcos & their apostles) can be cruel & sadistic.

As we travel around the streets in the Philippines, we see that it is the besetting temptation of the powerful filthy rich who enrich themselves at the expense of the lowly citizens who pay their taxes religiously. Some of this powerful filthy rich people are politicians who became wealthy through grafts and corruptions. There are also those cops or policemen who themselves breaks the traffic laws that themselves have to uphold. They think that they are special with privileges rather than to think that they are special with responsibilities. Either these cops or policemen are cowards or don’t know what they are doing.

GFJHHEDF: In your posting to Plaridel Joaquin, you said "You forgot the Chinese have been in business in RP the longest". Which reminds me that the insect is in business not only in RP but even in the Holy Land. Check this out: There was this question which until now has not been completely resolve. The question went this way: "Who's been the longest in hardware business the Chinese or the Romans? This answer may make sense but still debatable; it's the Chinese. The reason given why the Chinese was longer in hardware business was that the Romans bought the nails they used to crucify the Christians including JC from Chinese hardware stores.

KUYA EDDIE (See? I did not call you names this time). You said "...most drivers do not pay in one direction because the toll is used by state where the road pass for maintenance" or something like that. I don't agree with that. You see, most toll collected one-way only are in bridges and tunnels and these money are used for the maintenance of these infrastructures. Ex are the bridges and tunnels of Nuyok City. Other tunnels and bridges charge both ways. Ex is the Grand Island Bridge in upstate Nuyok near Buffalo. Motorists pays round trips. I can not recall any interstate highways charging only one way. Motorists have to pay the toll both directions. Ex: NY Thruway, NJ Turnpike, Garden State Parkway.

Now we can see the fruit of having only a one term presidency....it is possible to find a good president who is willing to sacrifice to set a good example for our people. All elected officials and positions from top to bottom must only have one term so the country will have good public officials from top to bottom. No more political dynasties... no more the likes of Ampatuans, GM Arroyos, Marcoses, Estradas, Binays, Dys, who treated elected positions in their turf as exclusive only to their families. Mr. President Pnoy...we need to have a continuation of your kind of leadership and we can only achieve this if we dismantle this evil of political dynasties in this country. Please implement the Anti Dynasty provision in our constitution. God help you and your staff for the country.

7 of 10 Manilenos wanted Gloria Arroyo to be prosecuted. 80 to 85% in the survey conducted by PNL advocated prosecution. Failure to act & failure to jail Gloria Arroyo ASAP by P-Noy is a reflection of non-committal to justice & adherence to the rule of law. Let her explain before the court her transgressions from being a liar, a cheater, a manipulator, & a desecrator of the Constitution. She was instrumental in jailing Erap & was not satisfied in just removing him from power. This time, Pres. Aquino has the sole power & authority to execute & to act on behalf of millions of Filipino voters who were denied their legal rights when they elected Erap. "I am sorry" is enough to jail Gloria.

I salute our PNN (PRESIDENT NOY-NOY) or P-NOY (PRESIDENT NOY) for his showing an example of what he said during his inaugural address and he is doing right now upon implementation of his job (Especially THE WANG-WANG) and being assigned to him as the President of The Philippines by the entire Filipino people, he got the highest rating from SWS never before from any elected president within a month period. However, to change the topic going to our people champ, I do not satisfy if other boxer will fight Manny other than Mayweather. Because this Mayweather is really afraid of Manny and maybe he wanted to fight manny when he is old enough. If possible our people champ might fight Floyd Mayweather at any cost for his next fight so that we will know who is really the pound for pound king.

We do hope that Pres. Noynoy Aquino should practice the concept of "servant leadership" (a great leader is a servant first)---the leadership nobly practiced by great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi. Servant leadership is "the means by which leaders get the necessary legitimacy to lead; it gives certainty & purpose to others who may have difficulty in achieving it for themselves, as a scholar said."

The picture featured by Inquirer.Net of kids frolicking over a toppled tree, courtesy of Basyang, reminds me when I was also about their ages. But I thought ours was more exciting. Check this out: After a "habagat" the proud 60-footer acacia tree which defied nature (by growing, of all spots, on a sandy edge of a seawall?) collapsed, part of its crown lying in five feet of water. It was too good a spot to hang around. So the six of us picked our spots in the un-submerged crown as we watch below the sea lashed gently the down-but-not-out tree. Almost every day we hung out on that tree. We even "namingwit". The tree survived for a few months until it succumb to the salty water. Haaaaay.

"Aquino: Trillianes may be victim of injustice." Scholars argue that leaders may not require to please anyone or pander or to commit to a principle or policy, or to risk a controversy. President Aquino is trying to challenge the credibility of the justice system under Arroyo's regime when he ordered DOJ to review the jailed solon's case, without fear of losing legitimacy or popularity. This is not self-serving cowardice. Democracy demands transparency, otherwise its defects become guaranteed or magnified, according to someone.

Some voters are accustomed to the doctrine of the superiority of their leaders (Marcos, Arroyo, Nograles, & other corrupt politicians) academia: Ateneo, La Salle, and other elitist schools. However, the quality of political leadership or excellence is rare. Political power is sometimes, if not always, put in the hands of those who lack wisdom (or the the cognitive or ethical aptitude to apprehend what is good & just and so forth). This is one of the concerns of a scholar---the "hegemony of mediocrity" in some democratic societies. Lombroso onced said that "the ignorant man adores what he can't understand, and he added that the appearance of a single great genius is more equivalent to the birth of a hundred mediocrities."

The MCDs of the world who subscribe to agnosticism, atheism, secular humanism, Darwinism and other "isms", claim that there is no room for the supernatural and that religion leads to conflict, which could be avoided if religion were abolished. Their contention is that we believers are convinced by a "fairy tale", therefore we are ignorant, have unscientific minds, and that the tenets of our religion are medieval, therefore passé, and that we are hopelessly behind the times.

2/2: Non-believers consider themselves an overclass w/ superior intelligence and w/ belief system that's ne plus ultra. I have yet to meet a non-believer who is not arrogant and self-righteous. Their goal is to render believers too embarrassed to disagree w/ them. MCD, rather than call us "idiots and morons" why don't you explore the case Marie is making. Sweeping generalizations & name-calling are not marks of an intellectual, and reading your posts, perhaps you are not an Intelligent Idiot. (phram Gene) Along the way, you lost your sangfroid and you are as judgmental and intolerant like your adversaries. At least Marie's is just a result of blissful naïveté. Live and let live, and nil desperandum.

Juan Domingo: Thanks for noticing. Hope you stay long in the forum. If the past is any gauge of the future, you'll notice that fireworks between and among posters get fiery at times, specially if the topic is controversial. This is followed later by an afterglow. As you noticed, there are ongoing battles, and simmering feuds. Our topics range from the absurd to the sublime.

Dragonslayer, for being magnanimous to Deo, you deserve a handshake. Deo is irreverent and funny, and a witty raconteur. His appeal is to the bakya crowd and to the ulyanin. Sometimes his facts are blatantly erroneous, so, ONE UP, I think pagpasensiyahan na lang natin siya. Let's give him a slack. I think he is harmless.

This s a sister-to-sister talk.2 butress your arguments, I suggest u arm yourself w/ some ammo. Hindi pwedeng haka-haka lang. You 'll be burned at stake here like Joan of Arc. Here are 2 books 4 your perusal (I've read both of them-they're excellent): The Criminalization Of Christianity-Janet L. Folger; The Rage Against God: How Atheism Led me To Faith-Peter Hitchens. Peter's brother Christopher, is a prolific writer of the New Atheism. Peter was a journalist in Moscow who observed first hand the blurring of politics & religion. His critical observations led him to more questions than answers, more despair than hope 4 how 2 live a meaningful life. Happy reading..

Nob Ody says "this Edward ..wants people to believe he is of Polish descent, as if it is a big deal..".... Here's one for our PNL clown... Edward went to a pizza parlor and ordered a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone. The man in the counter asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. Edward, the fake Polack, thought about it for some time then said "Just cut in into 4 pieces, I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces."--- Hu-hu- hu. They walk among us!!

We are excited about the investigation of PAGCOR's P21.0M. This is very obvious that there is an anomalous transactions. We are hoping that somehow, someone will be put in jail. It was good, that the encashment of the cheque didn't push trough. Kudos to PNB personnel verifying the authenticity of the cheque. Thank God, the cheque was not cashed eventually. It is high time to really see someone in jail. Otherwise, Philippines will not go anywhere, but rather blah, blah only.

One thing that is important is the sirens needed for essential services such as police, ambulances and fire trucks so they can perform their duties when needed. Another thing is that certain people in Government official positions should be allowed to use the sirens and with police escorts. These positions are: The President (for safety security reasons. Being stuck in traffic, there might be an attempt on the president's life and an armed confrontation in the middle of traffic might harm other people), Judges (Attempts on their life by criminals to prevent judges from giving justice to criminals), and certain credible Police protected witnesses for crimes especially when a powerful rich family is being indicted such as the "Ampatuan" clan.

Now is the time for the "medyas" to come to the aid of the investigations and proved to Luistro that he was wrong when he said "hindi nakakatulong ang media" rather than approach by confrontational means the sentiment of the secretary about the media. The media should have done their own probing about the "hello Garci" the ZTE-NBN and the mutiny now that witnesses including the mutineers' themselves are willing to come out and spell the beans about the rebellion. Who can expose it more than the media. I know the media, just like anybody, "they don't want to be involved". hehehehe.

Senators Angara and Arroyo slammed P-Noy for instructing the DOJ to review the the Senator Trillanes’ kudeta case: .LINK P-Noy’s duty, as President, is to do justice to anyone. As his alter ego, P-Noy has the right to instruct the Secretary of Justice to study whether Trillanes was properly charged and legally denied his right to bail, or else the people who voted for him to the Senate are unduly deprived of Trillanes’ services as their senator. If these senators can comment on this case, why not the President? Why not anyone, like Deo, 7gtg, etc.?

Another sign that the apocalypse is with us: In the news "Madrid Wants to Buy 'Psychic' Octopus". The report says, Madrid had offered the German Aquarium which now house the octopus a "name your price" offer to give up the octopus which was perfect (8 for 8) in prediction outcomes in the recent Soccer World Cup in South Africa. The octopus even predicted the outcome of the championship game won by who else, Spain. Of course how the octopus did it or didn't, is subject to one's perception.

Butiki molester responded to my AZ anti- immigration law with "papers please." comment that is widely used by the media. The papers referred to are documents that prove that the person is allowed to stay in the state of Arizona as a legal immigrant. Everybody knows that when one is being pulled over in the highway it has always something to do with traffic violation and not as an illegal immigrant. The driver always ask the officer "what seems to be the problem officer?" while the driver hands over his driver's license, car registration and insurance papers. How could you be so narrow minded, petty officer?

MARIE| You have to understand that science and religion are always at loggerheads. Dr. Ona as a doctor is a man of science guided by the Oath of Hippocrates and not a priest who follows Vatican's encyclicals. You have to remember that the Vatican imprisoned Galileo for his belief that the world was round and not flat according to the church; Joan of Arc was burned as a witch and JC was crucified by the Jews as a false prophet and who condemned His teachings. Don't be too dogmatic. My faith is firmed but not blind that drives me to cast aspersions on others.
