Five minutes and a close look at Dick Gordon
I knew I wanted him for President the first time I heard him speak. He’s known to be a very charismatic person, true, but more than his flair for rhetoric and big ideas, his promises have turned to largely substantial actions. In short, he’s a doer and he has his track record to prove it. [...]
My generation does not have to be a disappointment
It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth. Lamentations 3:27 When the newspapers have got nothing else to talk about, they cut loose on the young. The young are always news. If they are up to something, that’s news. If they aren’t, that’s news too. – Kenneth Rexroth I [...]
A Freudian slip, dare I say?
Wait, this is too hilarious to pass up. Manila Bulletin, on it’s August 6, 2009 issue, commits a ‘grave’ error in its caption, saying PGMA, instead of dear Cory Aquino, was inside the coffin. Some freudian slip over there, don’t you think? Then again, if it was her, why so many people? ;p
KZ Tweeting on SONA 2009
Thank goodness there was Live SONA Coverage online for us who were not at home to watch GMA mock the Filipino people with lie after every moronic lie. Here’s to us Filipinos who know that behind every fact and figure is a forgotten scandal and a controversy and while our fake president has been challenged [...]
Disgust
On our way to Shaw for the PMT Meeting this morning, my boss asked me if I had invited so and so and if they confirmed their attendance. “I was able to talk to his wife, and she said they’ll attend.” “Good. Now I just wish LGUs will show up whenever they say they will.” [...]
Boys and toys
PNP Chief Jesus Versoza gave one of the lamest excuses I’ve ever heard this year: the unexplained 6.9 million pesos that was found within the hands of retired police comptroller Eliseo De La Paz was for the purchase of spy gears. This must be what Eliseo De La Paz was referring to as matters of [...]
Where is he?
He was supposed to show up at the Senate Hearing at 10 this morning. Just yesterday, four hours after he arrived, he was subpoenaed as he boarded his car, which was a great effort in itself as he tried to refuse it, suspiciously. He has just arrived from an Assembly in Moscow where he was [...]
Oranbo 101
When Ms. Annie arrived at Oranbo Elementary School last Saturday, the place was still in disarray. Chairs have not been wiped; registration tables have not been placed; even the backdrop has not been put up. We were expecting about 150 parents to attend the workshop. The program starts at 9, but 30 minutes before the [...]
That Bad egg Esperon
Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Hermogenes Esperon to North Cotobato Vice Governor Emmanuel Piñol – “Pare kapag na-TRO kami diyan at inatake kayo ng MILF bahala kayo sa sarili niyo… Hindi namin isasakrapisyo ang buhay ng sundalo namin para sa inyo,” [if we are stopped from signing the MOA by a TRO, and MILF [...]
written battles
I’m trying to compose a lengthy argument or stand on the Bangsamoro Pact with the MILF (and also to see how much I remember about my International Law and Robles). As I type this, there are hundreds out there who respond in whatever way seems best to them to express their feelings on the latest [...]
