MANILA, Philippines–The Philippine Coast Guard is set to hire some 300 new personnel to man 10 new patrol boats expected to arrive from Japan.
PCG spokesman Commander Armand Balilo said they would prioritize applicants who would fit the qualifications of those who will man the new acquisitions.
“We need to recruit people with maritime-related courses such as marine engineers and marine navigation course. But we would also be needing technical experts such as those who have mechanical, welding and electrical skills or background,” said Balilo.
I would not be suprised if people in cebu (notably the local government workers) will start going to the capitol and drag garcia out of office if what magpale said is true in this article.
Sana ma-release kaagad yung documents ng magkaalaman na kung sino ang nagsasabi ng totoo.
Can we settle back to the Islands issue? How is ‘property’ acquired, by ‘discovery, capture or creation?’
In Latin, it says: Qui prior est tempore potior est jure. Who is first in point of time is stronger in right [ Maxxim of Roman Law].
Is China ‘first’ in point of time? Philippines wants to submit the issue to the UN ICJ but China does not want. Why? Is China last in time? When did China ‘claim’ the whole Islands in the South China Sea? Last year? 2 Years ago? 3 Years ago? When? Not even during the time of Mao Tse Dong!
Deng Shao Peng’s time? Neither. So, when? If based only on ‘ancient maps’ do maps makes under International Law the right to claim? I do not believe it is. [ more on this later]
Or the popular accepted saying – First come, first serve – Henry Brinklow [Complaint of Roderick Mors].
I rem’ber, hope the Chinese Politburo does, Mao Tse Dong wanted even to ‘isolate’ China from the rest of the Western world…his slogan of the ‘Great Leap Forward’…to where, he only knows. Did he claim all the Islands in the South China Sea? Never heard of it until recently, not by Mr. Mao.
Do we take ‘property’ for granted? But taking something for granted is not exactly the best path to understand it xxx. [Property, by Jesse Dukeminier & James E. Krier]
Are ‘maps’ genuine proofs of claims on property? A ‘map’ is a drawing or other representation, usuall on a flat surface, of all or part of the earth’s surface (Webster World Dictionary). Ancient map is the same. Just a survey to make a map. There are thousands of maps. Are these items proofs of ownership or claim of what is drawn or represented. Obviously the answer is no.
So, what is the basis, legal or international law, China’s claim to all the Islands in the South China Sea? Ancient maps? Approved by our Bureau of Lands and LRA office? Or by the UN Body of Nations? None I have heard of.
China cannot claim those Islands by ‘discovery.’ Not by ‘creation.’ But could it claim by ‘capture?’ By threats of violence and force against others? [more later].
Again, maybe my last remark here…Is China observing and following the path of Nazi Adolf Hitler, claiming all of Europe as belonging to Germany? Went as far as Moscow? Tried up to the England! What happened to the thousand years Reich dream? HItler did not awaken but committed suicide as we were informed.
ASEAN except Philippines, reluctant to oppose China’s claim. What is ASEAN therefore? I ask somewhere here shall we give it up to China? Is this what we can do only? Where is friendship and kindness with the other countries? This small and weak country of ours is now being tested by a giant nuclear power, China!
As one said here, are we ripe for capture into China kangkungan?
I am out of topic here but I have to post it, else, I forget ….
India has TV soap or TV series whatever you call it COURT JUSTICE !!! 1stworld countries have Judge Judy, How to Kill a Mockingbird, etceteras …
WHY WE DO NOT HAVE IT HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES ?
Because TV Court is based in printed laws … WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPING IN REAL PHILIPPINE COURT IS NOT …
WHY IS IT THERE ARE LAWYERLY ANALYSTS in television in 1st world when it involves in the likes of O.J. Simpson and Bill Clinton WHEREAS IN THE PHILIPPINES PHILIPPINE FAKE-PERYODISTAS JUST PARROT WHAT is spewed from Justice spokespersons ?
BECAUSE LAWS IN THE PHILIPPINES IS WEDER-WEDER. It is not predictable. It is wishy-washy.
THAT IS ALL FOLKS! GOOT NIGHT !!!
THINK ABOUT IT. MARINATE ON IT. See if we can make batchoy out of it.
@Marina…SC or Judiciary does not have a TV Station or MEDIA has not worked on it.
You got a good idea, suggestion and point. In the “Small Claims’ actions [ not exceeding P100th value, etc.] where no lawyers are allowed to appear but only complainant and defendants, one MTC Court at least should be TELEVISED for people and the public to: 1st – know what is ‘small claims actions’ about; 2nd – how is it done for the parties involved; 3rd – what happens in there and, 4th – how justice is served and enforced.
Maybe many more but what is essential is put this on TV as you suggested. Let’s hope our Bar Chapters, SC, Judges and the public will clamor to do this. Nothing wrong with it I guess. So why not?
nakakalula ang mga BONUSES ng mga nasa senado. napakalaki pala ng pera na NAIIPON nila eh bakit hindi sa mga nasalanta ng kalamidad ibigay. nakakaSIGURO ba ang Pilipino na sa kabutihan ng bayan gagastahin ng mga senador ang ibingiay sa kanilang bonus? eh sabi nga ng COA puede daw gastahin ng mga senador na tumanggap ng BONUS kung SAAN nila gusto gastahin. sa opinion ko lang, SIGURADO wala mapapakinabangan ang BAYAN sa mga natanggap nilang BONUS. SA BULSA NA LANG NILA MAPUPUNTA YUN.
ang mga pangkaraniwang kawani(rank & file) halos maglumuhod kung makatanggap ng BONUS NA MAS MALAKI SA 5 LIBONG PISO. SILA ANG TALAGANG NAGTRATRABAHO NG HUSTO. DAHIL KUNG WALA ANG MGA ITO WALANG PIPIRMAHAN O ISUSULONG NA BATAS ANG MGA SENADOR. ang mga kawaning ito ang nagpapawis para makatapos ng kanikanilang gawain samantalang ang mga senador nakaupo lang at panay ang daldalan sa senado o magisip ng makukurakot sa kaban ng bayan.
SANA GINOONG ENRILE KUNG MAKABAYAN KA, ANG IPINAMIGAY MO NA BONUSES SA MGA ALIPORES MO AY SA MGA NASALANTA NG KALAMIDAD SA BAYAN MO. YAN AY KUNG TOTOO NA MAHAL MO ANG BAYAN MO PERO PALAGAY KO HINDI. MAS MAHAL MO ANG SARILI MO. O DAHIL KAYA KANDIDATO ANG ANAK MO KAYA NAGPAPALAKAS KA SA MGA SENADORES NA BINIGYAN MO NG MALAKI. bakit hindi pantay pantay ang bigay mo ng bonus?meron maliit? dahil ba galit ka sa kanila?
AYYYYYY! TALAGA ANG BUHAY AY LIFE, WALANG PANTAY PANTAY SA MUNDO, MAY SUERTE AT MAY MALASUERTE. ang kawaning todo kayod ang WALANG SUERTE!!
MASUERTE ANG MALAPIT SA KUSINA PALAGING MAY ULING NA NATATANGGAP!!
sir springwoodman, marahil kulang ang mga dasal ko alam ko na mahal ng DIOS ang ating bayan. nasa bayan natin ang likas na kaymanan na wala sa ibang bansa, matatalino ang mamamayang Pilipino, talinong galing sa DIOS, kaya lang hindi ginagamit sa ikabubuti ng bansa natin. mapagmahal ang bawat Pilipino kaya lang SIGURO mas marami ang nagmamahal lang sa SARILI at hindi sa kapwa.
mas mapapakinabangan pa sana kung ang mga natipid ng senado ay ibinigay sa DSWD para maitulong sa mga nasalanta ng kalamidad at sa departamento ng edukasyon para maipagpagawa ng mga paaralan. maraming nasalanta ang bagyo na mga paaralan at maraming mga paaralan na kulang sa mga kagamitan ng mga magaaral. di ba dpat dun nalang ibinigay ang natipid ng senado? di ba ang mga senador ay para maglingkod sa bayan? eh sa nangyayari ngayon tumanggap sila ng milyon milyon at libo libong bonus SILA pa ang kinakalinga ng bayan? eh saan ba galing ang natipid nila? at bakit ngayon nalalapit ang halalan itinaon ang pagbibigay ng bonus? at bakit hindi pantay pantay ang halaga ng ibinigay, may malalaki may maliliit? ano kaya ang layunin ng namahala ng pagbibigay ng ganung halaga ng mga bonus? hindi maabot ng kaisipan ko ang ibat ibang mga dahilan.
hindi na ba titigil sa paggawa ng di makatarungang mga bagay ang ating mga namamahala sa ating bayan?
sana sa darating na halalan MAGISING NA TAYO. IHALAL NATN ANG MGA TOTOONG NAGMAMAHAL AT MAGLILINGKOD SA ATING BAYAN. HUWAG IHALAL ANG MGA MANGUNGURAKOT AT PANSARILI LANG ANG INIISIP.
A gross or grave abuse of a senator’s discretion! Like a judge’s. I cannot believe such is the thing happening in our senate leadership. No senator should be doing such things! It’s a shame! A disappointment! A mockery of ourselves and country! We really bellyache here.
ano kaya ang gagawin ng mga senador na nakatanggap ng milyon na pera bilang regalo? regalo/gift pa lang ito ha. paano na kung “suhol, palusot, padulas?” di lalo na tayo mahihilo sa laki ng pera na magpapasalin salin sa mga kamay nila?
teka…may isusulat ba sila na kwenta kung saan. kelan nila ginamit ito? baka kaya ayaw nila kay heidi dahil sa mga ganito gawain nila?
isa na naman ito dapat natin tandaan sa araw ng halalan.
mga politiko na sobrang galante magbigay ng regalo… sa kapwa nila politiko. samantalang tignan natin ang lugar (probinsya/bayan) nila kung ano na ba ang naipagawa nila?
talo na naman tayo mga mamamayan na nagbabayad ng buwis. pera natin ipamudmod lang nila.
Got to watch this partially. One takeaway is to keep on clicking on the ads of the politicians you DONT like when they appear on your visited sites – facebook, yahoo, etc. as advised by the other guest, Carlo Ople.
Because this causes that politician’s campaign (the advertiser) to pay more. :)
Unless PDI can show proof of a signed paper or video recording that it was OKed by ochoa or PAOCC then this news will fall under the category of a tabloid media or a mere propaganda.
I hope PDI and other news media remembers that they owe a huge responsibility to the readers, sharing accurate and verified information with evidence.
Granting for the sake of saying it, that Hon. Ochoa did authorized the Atimonan opn [ he denies it] still there’s a lot of explaining to do, for one: why not in uniforms in that check point? two: why not only cops but Army soldiers [approved by AFP Chief of Staff?]; three: incredible ‘Check Point(s)’ it looks more like ‘Killing Points!’;
fifth: why ‘so many unnecessary Intelligence officers & men’ at Check Points? atbpa.
So many bad killings on ‘check points’ by PNP cops…rem’ber the one at Araneta Ave near the area to Bonifacio Ave…, a ‘blue car’ was fired upon because it was only blue? without hesitation, NO PLATE designation, rat-ratting & killing a young girl and her father..if I rem’ber right, the two were to attend a wedding on that day? What happened as to investigation to this incident?
With all the rules on engagements, etc., it appears PNP cannot perfectly read and follow the rule at the expense of life of the victims, ordinary citizens. What’s happening to our PNP? Inutile talaga? Bad incidents like these are FAST AND FURIOUS if not INFAMOUS!
Agree with your questions. Let me add also that they found fake IDs inside the SUV. Parang both sides may anomaly.
Either way theres no win win situation kasi on 1 hand its a PNP personnel + air force that was killed on the other hand its PNP + Army doing a shady chekpoint. :(
Masaklap lang is dinagdagan kaagad ng unverified info ng ibang media, and if people ask kanino nanggaling o sino ang nagsimula ng “Jueteng” theory i will blame oscar cruz., nagpa media interview pa :(
@davide…the ‘quote’ is originally for the lawmakers and was uttered by a high ranking lawmaker, etc. but ‘was’ not for cops and law enforcers. But if it is now ‘crawling’ down to them, the question of that good assemblyman Emmanuel Pelaez applies: ‘General, what’s happening to our country?’ after he was ambushed by assassins out to get him. His driver was killed.
What’s happening to our country, folks?
Many of this incident will be happening very soon, election time na! More guns cracking! Whether at ‘check or killing’ points or not.
You cant ask a party to make a stand if your own party (UNA) “NEVER” made a stand against important bills (sin tax and RH bill). Sa aking opinyon wala kayong kredibilidad to ask others since namamangka kayo sa dalawang ilog.
Mabuti pa yung NPC at LP na nagpahayag ng suporta sa RH bago mag botohan at least this coming election everyone is informed where this party stands on certain issues like RH bill, hindi na mangangapa sa dilim ang mga botante.
I don’t know if this is sheer ignorance or his sincere willingness to abide by the rules/law, one thing is for sure though, this guys attitude needs to be exemplified and hopefully copied (sottoed) by other politicians.
Natawa talaga ako sa sagot ni sixto brillantes jr. sa article from ABS :)
Sen. Jinggoy should not lawyer or explain things on the issue for JPE, the latter is a seasoned lawyer and he can explain the whole thing. Sen. Jinggoy did not explain why four senators were not treated like the others. They don’t need those equipments for office uses or they need no table, chair or what not?
If these senators, all of them, have any shame left, they should all return that money to the Treasury or back to the Senate officially. Mabuti pa ibinigay sa mga victims ng PABLO typhoon, atbpa! JPE says “gifts” so, since the money are gifts then to these typhoon victims AND NOT TO NOT NON-VICTIMS IN THE SENATE !
Japan pursues diplomatic offensive in Philippines visit
News›Asia
PHILIPPINES
Raissa Robles in Manila
A two-day visit by Japan’s foreign minister to the Philippines appears to be part of a well-coordinated diplomatic offensive by Tokyo to strengthen ties with other Asian countries amid tensions with China.
Fumio Kishida’s meetings yesterday with President Benigno Aquino and Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario, comes as both countries are engaged with separate maritime disputes with Beijing.
Kishida’s mission to Manila follows a recent trip by Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso to Myanmar, a close economic partner of China, with pledges to waive debt and extend new loans. Kishida will also visit Singapore, Brunei and Australia.
Next week, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will make his first overseas trip since winning office to Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand. Japan’s top government spokesman said it was not aimed at counter-balancing China’s influence in the region.
“China is an important country for Japan,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said, stressing the strategic nature of Japan’s bilateral ties with the world’s second largest economy.
But Beijing may view such diplomatic overtures with suspicion, considering what emerged from Kishida’s Manila meetings.
There were pledges for loans on a railway project that would extend Metro Manila’s urban railway to outlying provinces and the construction of a new airport on the resort island of Bohol.
But Tokyo’s offer of 10 patrol vessels and a communications system to boost the under-equipped Philippine coastguard is strategically, and politically, the most significant.
China and the Philippines have been engaged in a diplomatic row over rival claims to parts of the strategic and oil-rich South China Sea, almost all of which is claimed by China through its controversial nine-dash line.
Two of the hot spots are the Spratly Islands and Scarborough Shoal, which is known as Huangyan Island in China. Earlier this week, del Rosario said Manila asked Beijing to explain the recent deployment of Chinese patrol vessels to the region.
“We all understand the incursions being made by China in terms of the nine-dash line. For example, they do pose a threat to the stability of the region and we need to be able to address the possibility that freedom of navigation will be adversely impacted,” del Rosario said yesterday.
Kishida, without mentioning China, said the Philippines and Japan needed to boost their ties to help ensure peace.
“As the strategic environment in the region is changing, it is necessary for us as foreign ministers to share recognition of the situation, enhance the strategic partnership and cooperate towards shaping a peaceful and prosperous Asia-Pacific region,” he said.

IF and WHEN China’s annexation of the country materializes, it would be the death of Philippine “democracy”.
I have already prepared an epitaph to be erected atop its tomb:
“PHILIPPINE DEMOCRACY
(Killed by an electorate’s immaturity & PFHs)”
Electorate’s immaturity:
• Election to the Senate of actors and comedians; preference should have been given to engineers who are trained to build infrastructures like bridges, etc; educators who know the defects of the country’s educational system so they can legislate to remedy them; technocrats who favor the building of large industries like nickel-smelting plants (in 2011, the Philippines produced 230,000 metric tonnes of nickel ore, 2nd only to Russia’s 280,000 metric tonnes) for selling to the world processed nickel instead of ore, etc,
• Proliferation in the country of political dynasty in almost every region,
• Election of national leaders who are more guided by their faith making them more beholden to the clergy than to the people who elected them,
• Election of greedy leaders who are more interested in scamming the national treasury, e.g. , (if these are to be believed), fertilizer scam, bridge-construction scam, etc, and plundering of the national patrimony (illegal logging that already denuded a large part of our forest cover, indiscriminate/illegal mining that pollute the rivers and farmers’ irrigation systems that irrigate their ricefields), etc,
• Election of national/local officials who have twisted ideas about “rule of law” (e.g., Cebu’s Gov. Garcia’s case which is being supported by Binay-Enrile-Estrada faction [BEE] tandem) thus eroding democracy’s foundations/institutions. [If my information is correct, Gov. Garcia’s case has been reviewed by the late DILG Sec. Jesse Robredo and had recommended for filing it before the Ombudsman shortly before he died. To me, Garcia’s action is brazen disrespect of the true “rule of law”; what kind of role-modeling is she trying to hand down to the younger generation?],
• blind loyalty to political idols/celebraties, no matter how universally disgraced they were/are (classic case is Marcos and family: after looting the national treasury of Php 10 billion, they have slowly crept back to power. Another classic case is impeached Pres. Estrada who is regaining his lost limelight and may, depending on the intelligence of Manila voters, soon be the next Mayor of Manila after the May, 2013 elections.
PFHs (Pernicious Filipino Habits):
I have already cited a number of them in my previous posts in this blog; this time, let me add a new one:
“Sense of entitlement” (SE) – this is a twin of PFH “bantay-salakay” (guarding-stealing).
Just last week, a video was aired on TFC Channel showing a group of PNP officers grabbing for their own use confiscated illegal firecrackers. What I found it striking was their great joy in doing it.
In ending the hunt to recover the Php 10 billion Marcos loot after being able to get back only Php 4 billion, Andres Bautista, Pnoy’s PCGG head, has said: ” “These accusations (against the commission officials) are not without basis. They were the ones in charge of guarding the chicken coop and some of them helped themselves to the eggs,” he said, refusing to name names.”
Some government officials are so corruptly hardened as not to be trusted at all to guard any “chicken coop.”
Coming back to the annexation scenario: If and when this happens, all of the above will surely be straightened out, including addiction to “sabong” (cockfighting), “jueteng” (a numbers’ game), drugs, balikbayan box sending, and, (what do you think?), even perhaps “teleserye” watching.
Everyone will be wearing Mao suit, using the bicycle to move around from home to place of work and working the commune’s land to produce food with ABSOLUTELY NO exception, perhaps side by side with the showbiz personalities, priests and the bishops. Any dissenter can always be lined up before a firing squad. According to what I know, there is no CHR in China.
I once read one article during Mao Tse-tung’s time which said: “100 million Chinese is an insignificant number compared to 900 million others.” Their population then was only 1 billion; it has now climbed to 1.2 billion.
The only drawback when annexation happens: we’ll all become second-class citizens in our own native land. Perhaps, we deserve it because when we were given the chance to manage our own affairs, we abused the system.
thisis the modern world we live in. Philippines can never be a tutelage of Chinese. China doesn’t want to jeopardize their economic might over Philippines. McKinley have had sleepless nights and headaches with Filipinos. THE CHINESE JUST TESTING THE WORLD WHO’D BLINK FIRST. Even if we blink, they’d never do such foolishness.
Mighty Japan huff and puff over string of kurile islands when Russia is not mighty anymore.
@fed_up…that epitaph will win in the Guiness Longest Book of Epitaph! We can use the letters as a bridge to China! hahaha…joke only. Thanks. Less power to your omen. I’m frightened!
Cartographic documents produced by Chiense officials shows Paracel Islands were in their map in the 13th century during Ming Dynasty. According to Chinese official they could also have claimed Philippines as theirs because in 1574 Limahong marauders had Ilocos wastheir vassal state but they’d rather have one island at a time.
Cloma just recently discovered Spratleys fo the Philippines in 1947.
So which one is to be believed? and follow?
PHilippines is more than a thousand nautical miles from Spain yet American has to pay Spain to acquire Philippines including its inhabitants. This is the argument of the Chinese. As to Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan’s claim? Japan gave up paracel to Chinese when they lost the World Wide War II.
Geographical distance is not a basis for ownership, neither are historical documents. Possession and/or administration of a contested territory are good bases. But the best way to resolve this is not to wave documents and shout but to present all these claims to an INTERNATIONAL COURT SET UP FOR THE PURPOSE (international tribunal on the law of the sea). The Philippines wants to; China consistently refuses to do so with us. Ironically, it is willing to do this in its island controversy with Japan. Double standard?
…what @Mariano meant was ICJ or ICC, he wrote only “international court.” Kulang ng isang letra.
Meriam to ICC, this Court will have jurisdiction when China attacks PN tug boats that are ‘cut up’ no cannons and ammo. To attack will be criminal already in nature.
Sen. Meriam will not inhibit or excuse herself when China is accused for a crime before the ICC. The reason is: if she had her way she will wage war against China! Now if China is accused in the ICC, she’ll wage for a conviction against China! What’s the sentence she’ll campaign for with the other Judges?
…this is it…JUDGEMENT: Wherefore, all members of the Chinese Polit-buro [ not the Kapampangan delicacy here!] 2 million plus are hereby EXILED to Panatag Shoals and the LIBERAL PARTY OF PRES. AQUINO and his gang to GOVERN CHINA AND THE CHINESE PEOPLE. [PNoy is Chinese “Co Uang Co…mother side]. So ORDERED.” Signed: Judge Meriam [ ponente]. We CONCUR: ___ ___ ___ ___ ___.
The Chinese people will be very happy with PNoy as their new president! Another kung fat tsoy for them!
Did you notice the whole Chinese Sea and all its reefs are Chinese according Google Earth, did Eric E. Schmidt make a stop-over in China on his trip to North Korea?
I AM SOOO DEPRESSED. Not goot. Bad news. I found out I have 5 passports in 5 different countries. I confronted my parents if they were some kind of sleeper spooks. I looked at Mama closely. She does look like Ana Chapman.
Parent: “Son, you were born in 5 countries”
Son: “Huh? That is phyusically impossible! A child can only be born in one country UNLESS HE IS GOD”
Parent: “You are not God”. He looked down on the dirt we were standing on, he continued, “Seriously, Frankly, you belong to 5 countries”
Son: “Papa, you’ve been reading Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Johnny Walker and Stolichnaya aren’t you?”
Parent: “You were born in Paracel Islands. Filipinos call it Kalayan, Vietnamese call it something else, Chinese claimed it as theirs back in the Ming Dynasty, Taiwan also so does Malaysia”
I went to Philippine Airlines ask for a flight to Spratleys. PAL referred me to Philippines’ Homeland Security. Homeland said I cannot go to Spratleys because it cannot sustain life. The only wildlife in Spratleys are 40 Filipinos lost at sea.
Why in the heck! I cannot even charter a flight to Spratleys. I flagged water pumpboat they did not even want to go near Spratleys.
…sail on the PN Hamilton clutter boat, all yours, on the house by Navy! P.S. -don’t forget to wear ten life-jackets as you will meet Chinese gun boats, be pepperd like a boinggoot!
Americans are withdrawing from Iraq, Afghanistan and hotspot because of their Fiscal Cliff, whereas, Filipinos are spending crazy over useless indian pana.
Japan Prime Minister is ordering his Central bank to study how to devalue their yen to stimulate their export, whereas, Filipinos are waving their strong currency that killed their export.
WHATEVER RIGHT FOREIGN COUNTRIES DO, Filipinos do it in reverse.
VIVA FILIPINOS !!!! ANG INTELLIHENTE TALAGA N’YO !!!!!

Did SWS consulted the Filipino people that they wanted to go to war with china and spend gazillions of OFW dollars to buy useless pieces of Coat Guard clutters?
I bet ya SWS did not. They are just promoting the persona of benign0 Aquino.
Is this what the Filipinos really want ? WAR?
Gazillions to stimulate Japan and American economy over malnourished hungry Filipinos ?
STOP THIS PA-BILIB. Send Manny Pacquiao for the 5th round to UNIFY THE FILIPNOS.
the best venue for Manny Pacman fight with marques is none other than Shanghai China,in this manner, China Pres will think twice attacking Phillipines is a waste of time, they will be lost in the long run he he he he mahaba tiniis ng mga vietcong, lalo namang matiisin mga pinoy, mauubos sila sa mga NPA kaatake sa kanila by surprise, lalabas ulit yun mga Bonifacio he he he

…Maybe we can beat China: Our Senate and Lower House can create 5 additional provinces with 1 Congressional District each in these disputed islands. China got only an ancient map to their claim while we have a LAW to our claim!
My father told me that in the Philippines everyone has to have ROTC in college. He said they were to carry WHITE HANDKERCHIEF neatly folded in their fatigue uniform.
My father asked the platoon commander why they have to carry WHITE HANDERKERCHIEF. The platoon commander said it is for life.
Father: “What?
Platton Commander: “White handerkerchief is for you to wave surrender. It saves life more than your garand”
ROTC is the worst subject in college, bro CS (Cultured Shock both in US and Pinoy) MRP, parade resting in the mid of the Sun, white hanky chief turned gray, everyone was furious and hungry, it is not far away from frat punishment he he he, did i learned? See how were your Papa’s developement, great…
Last night I was held hostage to a TFC Channel. I see food competition. The format, everything, were copied from the Korean movie: KIMCHIE BATTLE PART 2

See? Your blood is “Brown”, natural Tan, no need for the Sun or artificial solar rays, try to walk naked in beach, these white girls will chase you, your color is Pinoy he he he, even if it is light brown, Pinoy skin is the best….hence you are here.
It made me cringe everytime I saw stacks and stacks Glutathione the skin whitening soap. Why in hell Pinays want their skin to be white whereas American women want theirs to be tan.
Pinays instead must be thankful that they’re endowed with fair colored skin where American women are so obsessed to have like ours.
Pilipinas are beauty conscious, hence sa Pinas lang maraming Parlor he he he grabee kung alam lang ng mga naglalagay ng whitening cream, na hinahabol ng mga whites ang skin natin, siguro hihina ang beauty industry he he he, intsik din may dala nya sa Pinas kaya malabo tayong girahen, kasi narito businesses nila sa Pinas, yun mga product nila sa labas ng china tulad sa Saudi maga pinoy din nabile he he he he
JAPAN HAS CLAIM TO THESE ROCK OUTCROPPINGS IN CHINA SEA.
What game is Japan playing ? What is the role of Filipinos ? Is Japan into proxy war against China using “willing” Filipinos ? How sure is Japan Filipinos can defeat China ? With the intelligence of Japan than Filipnios, I bet you, Japan already knows Filipinos cannot beat China, but why arm Philippines ?
SOMETHING IS TOTALLY NOT RIGHT! SOMETHING IS ABSOLUTELY WRONG! Could it be Japan wants the Filipnios annhilated by the Chinese ?
We will soon find out. BUT HERE IS ONE FOR SURE, Filipinos are just farting hot air THAT IS ALL THERE IS TO IT.
They couldn’t even defeat the Spaniards for 400 years …
Couldn’t defeat the Americans for 50 years …
Couldn’t defeat the Japanese for 5 years …
HOW MUCH MORE CHINA ?
Stop pulling my legs, Filipinos. MAGPAHINGA KAYO. PUNTA KAYO SA PANSITAN. Stop this braggadicio. YOU ARE ONLY GOOT IN ENGLSICHTZES.
Has anyone noticed in the U.N. ONLY FILIPINOS DO NOT BRING WITH THEM AN ARMY OF ITNERPRETERS. Japan, Korea, Vietnam and other 1stworld country bring with them INTERPRETERS. Filipinos do not even vote a Philippine president if cannot speak englischtzes.
WHAT IS WITH ENGLSICHTZES ANYWAYS? Can it defeat China ?
Yeah, spoken englist can defeat china, off course, in the long run he he he Freedo does come-in handy after a generation perhaps, but Filipinos never surrender he he he makukulit tatayo at lalaban pa ring.
Pero wag na bumili nyang mga pusila pusila, sayang lang pera jan, kung ibinibigay na libre wag na tanggapin, perahin na lang, gagastos pa sa maintenance ng mga yun.
takot kasi mga japok sa intsik, kaya tayo ang naisip nila na gamitin sa kaguluhan nila he he he
Chinese authorities are now monitoring their websites and blog sites. They are worried that the Filipinos have unknowingly created a potent internet virus. This virus may create havoc in their web community. They are also worried that this virus might infect their bloggers, their physicists, their military strategists, and their Politburo, thereby undermining plans for the invasion of the Spratlys. The effect of the virus is to lower the IQ of the infected, hovering to the lower 50’s.
Chinese Cyber agents scoured the internet and found Raissa’s blog. They found the cure but they need to take the actual documents to replicate the vaccine. A Chinese spy was sent to the Philippines.
He looked at the map, confirmed that this is the correct house. He broke into this house. He moved like a Ninja and directly wet to a disorganized office. The Doors song was playing, the room was clouded with thick smoke and a strong scent of cannabis made the spy’s slanted eyes even more shut. Squinting, the spy saw old photos pinned on the walls of a soldier’s Vietnam tours. One of the photos showed a guy with a helmet grinning, holding a corpse of a Vietcong, while his buddies were herding a terrorized peasant family towards a truck. The spy continued his search and found the laptop. He opened and searched for files. He browsed the folders, first under the title, “Raissa”, then onto “The Society of Honor”. He found the file named ASKAL and his eyes widened and satisfied that he found the formula for the vaccine!
Then, Bam! Bam! Gang! Nam! Bang! Joe with a red bandana wrapped around his forehead, red blood shut eyes and reloading his old reliable 45mm. He drew out a bayonet, carved a message on the dead spy’s forehead “USA”, and yelled, “That’s for my buddies in Vietnam, MotherF**ker !”
Meanwhile another team of spies were sent to Ivan Pavlov’s ancestral house in Central Russia.
The search for the vaccine of The Mariano Pacifico Virus continues…
Philippines is girding for war against behemoth China who has claims against 3rd rock from Mars so is Japan.
Japan arming Philippines because Japanese thought the Hamilton-class Coast Guard Clutter is armed-less harm-less. Japanese wanted to convert this Coast Guard Clutter into Passenger Ship instead because this is absolutely useless against China.
Once we have vanquish China, WHO WILL PROTECT US AGAINST JAPAN who also has claim on these 2 rock outcroppings in China Sea ?
These deeply discounted “state-of-the-art” battleships were unsold left-over of after Christmas sale.
I LIKE.Congrats on these two latest stories about PHL and Japan,
certainly of national, regional, and international security significance.
The western world is watching.
Philippines plans to purchase coast guard vessels from Japan: official
English.news.cn 2013-01-09 20:39:44
MANILA, Jan. 9 (Xinhua) — Philippine Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario said on Wednesday that the plan to acquire 10 coast guard vessels from Japan would be among topics of his meeting with visiting Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida on Thursday.
At a press briefing held here Wednesday, del Rosario said he would also discuss with Kishida the expansion of the Light Rail Transit – South line from Baclaran to Cavite and East line from Marikina to Antipolo.
The two officials are also expected to finalize Manila’s acquisition of 10 Multi-Role Response Vessels (MRRV).
Del Rosario said these projects will be implemented through soft loans or loans that have low interest rates with flexible payment terms under Japan’s Official Development Assistance (ODA).
We are now in league with Siera Leone and Congo and Pyongyang.
Buying military arsenals while their children go hungry. TYPICAL 3rdworld mentality run by virtual dictators.
ATTENTION TO ALL PERCEIVED GHOST INVADERS OF PHILIPPINES: We do not have natural resources. IF WE HAVE HAD NATURAL RESOURCES Filipinos could have exploited it. BUT WE DID NOT because we do not have natural resources.
So, Stay Away. The only NATURAL RESOURCES available are OFWs. We breed children like rabbits and train them to be exported as slaves.
Abraham was not able to make baby with his wife Sarah who was already in 90years of ages. Then Abraham made love to his DH (domestic Helper) an Egyptian woman named Hajjar, he got his first born Ismail, when Ismail was 14 years of ages Sarah became pregrant with the grace of Allah, to avoid the jealousy, Abraham was advice by Allah to bring his Bond woman Hajjar to Bacca which is now Mecca, Abraham question the Lord Almighty, why here? This is dessert, hot, no life, God said, Abraham, i will make Ismail and this place a great nation…
That promised is fulifilled, many nations are depending on the oil beneath Saudi Arabia, they called it Ghawar, you can use google power he he he
I embrace Islam in 1992 and my Islamic name is Ismael he he he, because i am first born to my mother he he he and i grew up so in love with catsup
for all my food, even if it pansit, i put ketsup on it.
Last week, there was a special offer of American garden 500ml ketsup with free mustard sauce he he he, it is now halves just after one week.
By the way, banana ketsup taste better than papa ketsup he he he
I read the Al Qur-an Al Kareen in englits version, 114 chapters,, all the same contents with the Bible except for one, Issa or Jesus was not crucified….
from that descripancy, i embraced Islam. Jesus was created by God thru Virgin Mary, by saying simple word “Be”, when Jesus asked the Father in Getsemane for his salvation from death, God immediately bring him up to His Kingdom, hence it is not true that our sins are forgiven by the death of Jesus Christ in the cross.
Do you believe that your sins are forgiven by God, because Jesus died for you in the cross??? I dont think so,
We will be judge according to the records we did, it is like microsoft database where-in the least athe the biggest sins are listed, such as masturbation, doing surfing while in the work, covet thy friends wife, stealing speeches from someone dead, he he he, not even a sin as tiny as the molecule will be left un-accounted.
You better be a believer of the Creator, even if not in Islam or Christianity, so long as you believe that there is God and the Judgent day and you fear to do big sins, like killing, adultery, cuncubinage, murder, rape etc, you may be allowed to enter Paradise…
Hmmmmmm …. so am I … I am totally against sins be forgiven. I want sins punished.
My parents told me when I was born I was given 100 merits by God. Everytime I sin, I demerits. My parents said I OWE A LOT TO GOD BECAUSE I HAVE SINNED SO MUCH. My parents further said that I WILL HAVE TO LIVE LONGER TO PAY FOR MY SINS ….
NO WONDER GOOT GUYS DIES YOUNG because they do not owe God to pay off their demerits.
CS MRP he he he Saudi Arabia were once dominated by whites for development, not anymore, the quick brown slaves like monkey from far east are here to stay he he he not only in Saudi Arabia but the whole middle of east he he he he
Im an Instrument engineer just graduated last year on IDC on line but never graduated as such before because we dont have Instrument engineering till 2005 only, my course was BSEE, in 1996 one project requires and instrument engineer, one of the whites asked me, could you help design an automatic shutdown incase there is a leak in the pipeline, i told him, sure, give me the scope and let me study it…he he he, now you can count these whites by ones in a project, but the slaves the quick englits monkey are now on top assisting the Saudis for their development he he he just like your brown blood, business usual in your place, he he he
Hooooray !!!! Saudi Arabianese owns the land. Foreigners exploit it for them. All Saudis have to do is play with their harems of chicks, sip kerosene, drink diesel and gasoline. This is what is going to happen to us Filipinos once we have the Spratleys Island (International name).
Spratleys is aptly entitled Kalaya-an in Filipino dialect it is called HOPE. Spratleys is the HOPE of the nation. But I doubt if Philippine Gov allows drilling in Kalaya-an. Because Filipnios are bunch of irresponsible environmentalists eco-friendlies.
he he he tulog na ako tol, may hataw pa ako bukas, Friday is equivalent to Sunday in real life he he he good nite sweet dreams to me, thanks to Raissa for making me happy meeting people like you @MRP he he he healed!!! by me…
agitated na mga intsik, wak pelo yan, wakanga, he he he he, armado na matapang pa, isa laban sa isang daan, like spartan.
maraming intsik dito sa Pilipinas, what does it mean? They love this 7000 plus island, not really its mysterious atmosphere but the lively way of Filipinos, freedom lover, drinking from dusk to dawn, gambling, eating and all what is in Chinas past time is here, hence Philipines is turning into a Dragon empire he he he tapos ngayun a-armado-han pa ng mga Japok, kaya nervous breakdown na ang journal nila he he he
Paktay tayo jan sa mga Japok hayyy mukhang masama plano, sabagay alam nila ang nangyari sa kanila WW2 he he dito sila nabigosa Pinas, history repeat itself…
Baka magbabarilan sila sa senado kaya lang kawawa si sotto kasi yung baril niya is sinotto (low-quality) baka biglang sumabog sa kamay niya pag pull ng trigger.

Life in Philippines is as complicated as Intel I-7 CPU.
Today I had the pleasure of meeting His Excellency Fumio Kishida, the newly-appointed Foreign Minister of Japan. The Philippines is the first country that His Excellency has visited since his appointment as Japan’s foreign minister, for which we are deeply honored. The official visit of Foreign Minister Kishida also reaffirms the strategic partnership between the Philippines and Japan.

Can we settle back to the Islands issue? How is ‘property’ acquired, by ‘discovery, capture or creation?’
In Latin, it says: Qui prior est tempore potior est jure. Who is first in point of time is stronger in right [ Maxxim of Roman Law].
Is China ‘first’ in point of time? Philippines wants to submit the issue to the UN ICJ but China does not want. Why? Is China last in time? When did China ‘claim’ the whole Islands in the South China Sea? Last year? 2 Years ago? 3 Years ago? When? Not even during the time of Mao Tse Dong!
Deng Shao Peng’s time? Neither. So, when? If based only on ‘ancient maps’ do maps makes under International Law the right to claim? I do not believe it is. [ more on this later]
Or the popular accepted saying – First come, first serve – Henry Brinklow [Complaint of Roderick Mors].
I rem’ber, hope the Chinese Politburo does, Mao Tse Dong wanted even to ‘isolate’ China from the rest of the Western world…his slogan of the ‘Great Leap Forward’…to where, he only knows. Did he claim all the Islands in the South China Sea? Never heard of it until recently, not by Mr. Mao.
Do we take ‘property’ for granted? But taking something for granted is not exactly the best path to understand it xxx. [Property, by Jesse Dukeminier & James E. Krier]
Are ‘maps’ genuine proofs of claims on property? A ‘map’ is a drawing or other representation, usuall on a flat surface, of all or part of the earth’s surface (Webster World Dictionary). Ancient map is the same. Just a survey to make a map. There are thousands of maps. Are these items proofs of ownership or claim of what is drawn or represented. Obviously the answer is no.
So, what is the basis, legal or international law, China’s claim to all the Islands in the South China Sea? Ancient maps? Approved by our Bureau of Lands and LRA office? Or by the UN Body of Nations? None I have heard of.
China cannot claim those Islands by ‘discovery.’ Not by ‘creation.’ But could it claim by ‘capture?’ By threats of violence and force against others? [more later].
Again, maybe my last remark here…Is China observing and following the path of Nazi Adolf Hitler, claiming all of Europe as belonging to Germany? Went as far as Moscow? Tried up to the England! What happened to the thousand years Reich dream? HItler did not awaken but committed suicide as we were informed.
ASEAN except Philippines, reluctant to oppose China’s claim. What is ASEAN therefore? I ask somewhere here shall we give it up to China? Is this what we can do only? Where is friendship and kindness with the other countries? This small and weak country of ours is now being tested by a giant nuclear power, China!
As one said here, are we ripe for capture into China kangkungan?
I am out of topic here but I have to post it, else, I forget ….
India has TV soap or TV series whatever you call it COURT JUSTICE !!! 1stworld countries have Judge Judy, How to Kill a Mockingbird, etceteras …
WHY WE DO NOT HAVE IT HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES ?
Because TV Court is based in printed laws … WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPING IN REAL PHILIPPINE COURT IS NOT …
WHY IS IT THERE ARE LAWYERLY ANALYSTS in television in 1st world when it involves in the likes of O.J. Simpson and Bill Clinton WHEREAS IN THE PHILIPPINES PHILIPPINE FAKE-PERYODISTAS JUST PARROT WHAT is spewed from Justice spokespersons ?
BECAUSE LAWS IN THE PHILIPPINES IS WEDER-WEDER. It is not predictable. It is wishy-washy.
THAT IS ALL FOLKS! GOOT NIGHT !!!
THINK ABOUT IT. MARINATE ON IT. See if we can make batchoy out of it.
@Marina…SC or Judiciary does not have a TV Station or MEDIA has not worked on it.
You got a good idea, suggestion and point. In the “Small Claims’ actions [ not exceeding P100th value, etc.] where no lawyers are allowed to appear but only complainant and defendants, one MTC Court at least should be TELEVISED for people and the public to: 1st – know what is ‘small claims actions’ about; 2nd – how is it done for the parties involved; 3rd – what happens in there and, 4th – how justice is served and enforced.
Maybe many more but what is essential is put this on TV as you suggested. Let’s hope our Bar Chapters, SC, Judges and the public will clamor to do this. Nothing wrong with it I guess. So why not?
nakakalula ang mga BONUSES ng mga nasa senado. napakalaki pala ng pera na NAIIPON nila eh bakit hindi sa mga nasalanta ng kalamidad ibigay. nakakaSIGURO ba ang Pilipino na sa kabutihan ng bayan gagastahin ng mga senador ang ibingiay sa kanilang bonus? eh sabi nga ng COA puede daw gastahin ng mga senador na tumanggap ng BONUS kung SAAN nila gusto gastahin. sa opinion ko lang, SIGURADO wala mapapakinabangan ang BAYAN sa mga natanggap nilang BONUS. SA BULSA NA LANG NILA MAPUPUNTA YUN.
ang mga pangkaraniwang kawani(rank & file) halos maglumuhod kung makatanggap ng BONUS NA MAS MALAKI SA 5 LIBONG PISO. SILA ANG TALAGANG NAGTRATRABAHO NG HUSTO. DAHIL KUNG WALA ANG MGA ITO WALANG PIPIRMAHAN O ISUSULONG NA BATAS ANG MGA SENADOR. ang mga kawaning ito ang nagpapawis para makatapos ng kanikanilang gawain samantalang ang mga senador nakaupo lang at panay ang daldalan sa senado o magisip ng makukurakot sa kaban ng bayan.
SANA GINOONG ENRILE KUNG MAKABAYAN KA, ANG IPINAMIGAY MO NA BONUSES SA MGA ALIPORES MO AY SA MGA NASALANTA NG KALAMIDAD SA BAYAN MO. YAN AY KUNG TOTOO NA MAHAL MO ANG BAYAN MO PERO PALAGAY KO HINDI. MAS MAHAL MO ANG SARILI MO. O DAHIL KAYA KANDIDATO ANG ANAK MO KAYA NAGPAPALAKAS KA SA MGA SENADORES NA BINIGYAN MO NG MALAKI. bakit hindi pantay pantay ang bigay mo ng bonus?meron maliit? dahil ba galit ka sa kanila?
AYYYYYY! TALAGA ANG BUHAY AY LIFE, WALANG PANTAY PANTAY SA MUNDO, MAY SUERTE AT MAY MALASUERTE. ang kawaning todo kayod ang WALANG SUERTE!!
MASUERTE ANG MALAPIT SA KUSINA PALAGING MAY ULING NA NATATANGGAP!!
sir springwoodman, marahil kulang ang mga dasal ko alam ko na mahal ng DIOS ang ating bayan. nasa bayan natin ang likas na kaymanan na wala sa ibang bansa, matatalino ang mamamayang Pilipino, talinong galing sa DIOS, kaya lang hindi ginagamit sa ikabubuti ng bansa natin. mapagmahal ang bawat Pilipino kaya lang SIGURO mas marami ang nagmamahal lang sa SARILI at hindi sa kapwa.
mas mapapakinabangan pa sana kung ang mga natipid ng senado ay ibinigay sa DSWD para maitulong sa mga nasalanta ng kalamidad at sa departamento ng edukasyon para maipagpagawa ng mga paaralan. maraming nasalanta ang bagyo na mga paaralan at maraming mga paaralan na kulang sa mga kagamitan ng mga magaaral. di ba dpat dun nalang ibinigay ang natipid ng senado? di ba ang mga senador ay para maglingkod sa bayan? eh sa nangyayari ngayon tumanggap sila ng milyon milyon at libo libong bonus SILA pa ang kinakalinga ng bayan? eh saan ba galing ang natipid nila? at bakit ngayon nalalapit ang halalan itinaon ang pagbibigay ng bonus? at bakit hindi pantay pantay ang halaga ng ibinigay, may malalaki may maliliit? ano kaya ang layunin ng namahala ng pagbibigay ng ganung halaga ng mga bonus? hindi maabot ng kaisipan ko ang ibat ibang mga dahilan.
hindi na ba titigil sa paggawa ng di makatarungang mga bagay ang ating mga namamahala sa ating bayan?
sana sa darating na halalan MAGISING NA TAYO. IHALAL NATN ANG MGA TOTOONG NAGMAMAHAL AT MAGLILINGKOD SA ATING BAYAN. HUWAG IHALAL ANG MGA MANGUNGURAKOT AT PANSARILI LANG ANG INIISIP.
A gross or grave abuse of a senator’s discretion! Like a judge’s. I cannot believe such is the thing happening in our senate leadership. No senator should be doing such things! It’s a shame! A disappointment! A mockery of ourselves and country! We really bellyache here.
ano kaya ang gagawin ng mga senador na nakatanggap ng milyon na pera bilang regalo? regalo/gift pa lang ito ha. paano na kung “suhol, palusot, padulas?” di lalo na tayo mahihilo sa laki ng pera na magpapasalin salin sa mga kamay nila?
teka…may isusulat ba sila na kwenta kung saan. kelan nila ginamit ito? baka kaya ayaw nila kay heidi dahil sa mga ganito gawain nila?
isa na naman ito dapat natin tandaan sa araw ng halalan.
mga politiko na sobrang galante magbigay ng regalo… sa kapwa nila politiko. samantalang tignan natin ang lugar (probinsya/bayan) nila kung ano na ba ang naipagawa nila?
talo na naman tayo mga mamamayan na nagbabayad ng buwis. pera natin ipamudmod lang nila.
Got to watch this partially. One takeaway is to keep on clicking on the ads of the politicians you DONT like when they appear on your visited sites – facebook, yahoo, etc. as advised by the other guest, Carlo Ople.
Because this causes that politician’s campaign (the advertiser) to pay more. :)
Unless PDI can show proof of a signed paper or video recording that it was OKed by ochoa or PAOCC then this news will fall under the category of a tabloid media or a mere propaganda.
I hope PDI and other news media remembers that they owe a huge responsibility to the readers, sharing accurate and verified information with evidence.
Granting for the sake of saying it, that Hon. Ochoa did authorized the Atimonan opn [ he denies it] still there’s a lot of explaining to do, for one: why not in uniforms in that check point? two: why not only cops but Army soldiers [approved by AFP Chief of Staff?]; three: incredible ‘Check Point(s)’ it looks more like ‘Killing Points!’;
fifth: why ‘so many unnecessary Intelligence officers & men’ at Check Points? atbpa.
So many bad killings on ‘check points’ by PNP cops…rem’ber the one at Araneta Ave near the area to Bonifacio Ave…, a ‘blue car’ was fired upon because it was only blue? without hesitation, NO PLATE designation, rat-ratting & killing a young girl and her father..if I rem’ber right, the two were to attend a wedding on that day? What happened as to investigation to this incident?
With all the rules on engagements, etc., it appears PNP cannot perfectly read and follow the rule at the expense of life of the victims, ordinary citizens. What’s happening to our PNP? Inutile talaga? Bad incidents like these are FAST AND FURIOUS if not INFAMOUS!
Agree with your questions. Let me add also that they found fake IDs inside the SUV. Parang both sides may anomaly.
Either way theres no win win situation kasi on 1 hand its a PNP personnel + air force that was killed on the other hand its PNP + Army doing a shady chekpoint. :(
Masaklap lang is dinagdagan kaagad ng unverified info ng ibang media, and if people ask kanino nanggaling o sino ang nagsimula ng “Jueteng” theory i will blame oscar cruz., nagpa media interview pa :(
@davide…the ‘quote’ is originally for the lawmakers and was uttered by a high ranking lawmaker, etc. but ‘was’ not for cops and law enforcers. But if it is now ‘crawling’ down to them, the question of that good assemblyman Emmanuel Pelaez applies: ‘General, what’s happening to our country?’ after he was ambushed by assassins out to get him. His driver was killed.
What’s happening to our country, folks?
Many of this incident will be happening very soon, election time na! More guns cracking! Whether at ‘check or killing’ points or not.
You cant ask a party to make a stand if your own party (UNA) “NEVER” made a stand against important bills (sin tax and RH bill). Sa aking opinyon wala kayong kredibilidad to ask others since namamangka kayo sa dalawang ilog.
Mabuti pa yung NPC at LP na nagpahayag ng suporta sa RH bago mag botohan at least this coming election everyone is informed where this party stands on certain issues like RH bill, hindi na mangangapa sa dilim ang mga botante.
I don’t know if this is sheer ignorance or his sincere willingness to abide by the rules/law, one thing is for sure though, this guys attitude needs to be exemplified and hopefully copied (sottoed) by other politicians.
Natawa talaga ako sa sagot ni sixto brillantes jr. sa article from ABS :)
Sen. Jinggoy should not lawyer or explain things on the issue for JPE, the latter is a seasoned lawyer and he can explain the whole thing. Sen. Jinggoy did not explain why four senators were not treated like the others. They don’t need those equipments for office uses or they need no table, chair or what not?
If these senators, all of them, have any shame left, they should all return that money to the Treasury or back to the Senate officially. Mabuti pa ibinigay sa mga victims ng PABLO typhoon, atbpa! JPE says “gifts” so, since the money are gifts then to these typhoon victims AND NOT TO NOT NON-VICTIMS IN THE SENATE !
Japan pursues diplomatic offensive in Philippines visit
News›Asia
PHILIPPINES
Raissa Robles in Manila
A two-day visit by Japan’s foreign minister to the Philippines appears to be part of a well-coordinated diplomatic offensive by Tokyo to strengthen ties with other Asian countries amid tensions with China.
Fumio Kishida’s meetings yesterday with President Benigno Aquino and Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario, comes as both countries are engaged with separate maritime disputes with Beijing.
Kishida’s mission to Manila follows a recent trip by Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso to Myanmar, a close economic partner of China, with pledges to waive debt and extend new loans. Kishida will also visit Singapore, Brunei and Australia.
Next week, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will make his first overseas trip since winning office to Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand. Japan’s top government spokesman said it was not aimed at counter-balancing China’s influence in the region.
“China is an important country for Japan,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said, stressing the strategic nature of Japan’s bilateral ties with the world’s second largest economy.
But Beijing may view such diplomatic overtures with suspicion, considering what emerged from Kishida’s Manila meetings.
There were pledges for loans on a railway project that would extend Metro Manila’s urban railway to outlying provinces and the construction of a new airport on the resort island of Bohol.
But Tokyo’s offer of 10 patrol vessels and a communications system to boost the under-equipped Philippine coastguard is strategically, and politically, the most significant.
China and the Philippines have been engaged in a diplomatic row over rival claims to parts of the strategic and oil-rich South China Sea, almost all of which is claimed by China through its controversial nine-dash line.
Two of the hot spots are the Spratly Islands and Scarborough Shoal, which is known as Huangyan Island in China. Earlier this week, del Rosario said Manila asked Beijing to explain the recent deployment of Chinese patrol vessels to the region.
“We all understand the incursions being made by China in terms of the nine-dash line. For example, they do pose a threat to the stability of the region and we need to be able to address the possibility that freedom of navigation will be adversely impacted,” del Rosario said yesterday.
Kishida, without mentioning China, said the Philippines and Japan needed to boost their ties to help ensure peace.
“As the strategic environment in the region is changing, it is necessary for us as foreign ministers to share recognition of the situation, enhance the strategic partnership and cooperate towards shaping a peaceful and prosperous Asia-Pacific region,” he said.

IF and WHEN China’s annexation of the country materializes, it would be the death of Philippine “democracy”.
I have already prepared an epitaph to be erected atop its tomb:
“PHILIPPINE DEMOCRACY
(Killed by an electorate’s immaturity & PFHs)”
Electorate’s immaturity:
• Election to the Senate of actors and comedians; preference should have been given to engineers who are trained to build infrastructures like bridges, etc; educators who know the defects of the country’s educational system so they can legislate to remedy them; technocrats who favor the building of large industries like nickel-smelting plants (in 2011, the Philippines produced 230,000 metric tonnes of nickel ore, 2nd only to Russia’s 280,000 metric tonnes) for selling to the world processed nickel instead of ore, etc,
• Proliferation in the country of political dynasty in almost every region,
• Election of national leaders who are more guided by their faith making them more beholden to the clergy than to the people who elected them,
• Election of greedy leaders who are more interested in scamming the national treasury, e.g. , (if these are to be believed), fertilizer scam, bridge-construction scam, etc, and plundering of the national patrimony (illegal logging that already denuded a large part of our forest cover, indiscriminate/illegal mining that pollute the rivers and farmers’ irrigation systems that irrigate their ricefields), etc,
• Election of national/local officials who have twisted ideas about “rule of law” (e.g., Cebu’s Gov. Garcia’s case which is being supported by Binay-Enrile-Estrada faction [BEE] tandem) thus eroding democracy’s foundations/institutions. [If my information is correct, Gov. Garcia’s case has been reviewed by the late DILG Sec. Jesse Robredo and had recommended for filing it before the Ombudsman shortly before he died. To me, Garcia’s action is brazen disrespect of the true “rule of law”; what kind of role-modeling is she trying to hand down to the younger generation?],
• blind loyalty to political idols/celebraties, no matter how universally disgraced they were/are (classic case is Marcos and family: after looting the national treasury of Php 10 billion, they have slowly crept back to power. Another classic case is impeached Pres. Estrada who is regaining his lost limelight and may, depending on the intelligence of Manila voters, soon be the next Mayor of Manila after the May, 2013 elections.
PFHs (Pernicious Filipino Habits):
I have already cited a number of them in my previous posts in this blog; this time, let me add a new one:
“Sense of entitlement” (SE) – this is a twin of PFH “bantay-salakay” (guarding-stealing).
Just last week, a video was aired on TFC Channel showing a group of PNP officers grabbing for their own use confiscated illegal firecrackers. What I found it striking was their great joy in doing it.
In ending the hunt to recover the Php 10 billion Marcos loot after being able to get back only Php 4 billion, Andres Bautista, Pnoy’s PCGG head, has said: ” “These accusations (against the commission officials) are not without basis. They were the ones in charge of guarding the chicken coop and some of them helped themselves to the eggs,” he said, refusing to name names.”
Some government officials are so corruptly hardened as not to be trusted at all to guard any “chicken coop.”
Coming back to the annexation scenario: If and when this happens, all of the above will surely be straightened out, including addiction to “sabong” (cockfighting), “jueteng” (a numbers’ game), drugs, balikbayan box sending, and, (what do you think?), even perhaps “teleserye” watching.
Everyone will be wearing Mao suit, using the bicycle to move around from home to place of work and working the commune’s land to produce food with ABSOLUTELY NO exception, perhaps side by side with the showbiz personalities, priests and the bishops. Any dissenter can always be lined up before a firing squad. According to what I know, there is no CHR in China.
I once read one article during Mao Tse-tung’s time which said: “100 million Chinese is an insignificant number compared to 900 million others.” Their population then was only 1 billion; it has now climbed to 1.2 billion.
The only drawback when annexation happens: we’ll all become second-class citizens in our own native land. Perhaps, we deserve it because when we were given the chance to manage our own affairs, we abused the system.
thisis the modern world we live in. Philippines can never be a tutelage of Chinese. China doesn’t want to jeopardize their economic might over Philippines. McKinley have had sleepless nights and headaches with Filipinos. THE CHINESE JUST TESTING THE WORLD WHO’D BLINK FIRST. Even if we blink, they’d never do such foolishness.
Mighty Japan huff and puff over string of kurile islands when Russia is not mighty anymore.
@fed_up…that epitaph will win in the Guiness Longest Book of Epitaph! We can use the letters as a bridge to China! hahaha…joke only. Thanks. Less power to your omen. I’m frightened!
Cartographic documents produced by Chiense officials shows Paracel Islands were in their map in the 13th century during Ming Dynasty. According to Chinese official they could also have claimed Philippines as theirs because in 1574 Limahong marauders had Ilocos wastheir vassal state but they’d rather have one island at a time.
Cloma just recently discovered Spratleys fo the Philippines in 1947.
So which one is to be believed? and follow?
PHilippines is more than a thousand nautical miles from Spain yet American has to pay Spain to acquire Philippines including its inhabitants. This is the argument of the Chinese. As to Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan’s claim? Japan gave up paracel to Chinese when they lost the World Wide War II.
Geographical distance is not a basis for ownership, neither are historical documents. Possession and/or administration of a contested territory are good bases. But the best way to resolve this is not to wave documents and shout but to present all these claims to an INTERNATIONAL COURT SET UP FOR THE PURPOSE (international tribunal on the law of the sea). The Philippines wants to; China consistently refuses to do so with us. Ironically, it is willing to do this in its island controversy with Japan. Double standard?
…what @Mariano meant was ICJ or ICC, he wrote only “international court.” Kulang ng isang letra.
Meriam to ICC, this Court will have jurisdiction when China attacks PN tug boats that are ‘cut up’ no cannons and ammo. To attack will be criminal already in nature.
Sen. Meriam will not inhibit or excuse herself when China is accused for a crime before the ICC. The reason is: if she had her way she will wage war against China! Now if China is accused in the ICC, she’ll wage for a conviction against China! What’s the sentence she’ll campaign for with the other Judges?
…this is it…JUDGEMENT: Wherefore, all members of the Chinese Polit-buro [ not the Kapampangan delicacy here!] 2 million plus are hereby EXILED to Panatag Shoals and the LIBERAL PARTY OF PRES. AQUINO and his gang to GOVERN CHINA AND THE CHINESE PEOPLE. [PNoy is Chinese “Co Uang Co…mother side]. So ORDERED.” Signed: Judge Meriam [ ponente]. We CONCUR: ___ ___ ___ ___ ___.
The Chinese people will be very happy with PNoy as their new president! Another kung fat tsoy for them!
Did you notice the whole Chinese Sea and all its reefs are Chinese according Google Earth, did Eric E. Schmidt make a stop-over in China on his trip to North Korea?
I AM SOOO DEPRESSED. Not goot. Bad news. I found out I have 5 passports in 5 different countries. I confronted my parents if they were some kind of sleeper spooks. I looked at Mama closely. She does look like Ana Chapman.
Parent: “Son, you were born in 5 countries”
Son: “Huh? That is phyusically impossible! A child can only be born in one country UNLESS HE IS GOD”
Parent: “You are not God”. He looked down on the dirt we were standing on, he continued, “Seriously, Frankly, you belong to 5 countries”
Son: “Papa, you’ve been reading Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Johnny Walker and Stolichnaya aren’t you?”
Parent: “You were born in Paracel Islands. Filipinos call it Kalayan, Vietnamese call it something else, Chinese claimed it as theirs back in the Ming Dynasty, Taiwan also so does Malaysia”
I went to Philippine Airlines ask for a flight to Spratleys. PAL referred me to Philippines’ Homeland Security. Homeland said I cannot go to Spratleys because it cannot sustain life. The only wildlife in Spratleys are 40 Filipinos lost at sea.
Why in the heck! I cannot even charter a flight to Spratleys. I flagged water pumpboat they did not even want to go near Spratleys.
…sail on the PN Hamilton clutter boat, all yours, on the house by Navy! P.S. -don’t forget to wear ten life-jackets as you will meet Chinese gun boats, be pepperd like a boinggoot!
Americans are withdrawing from Iraq, Afghanistan and hotspot because of their Fiscal Cliff, whereas, Filipinos are spending crazy over useless indian pana.
Japan Prime Minister is ordering his Central bank to study how to devalue their yen to stimulate their export, whereas, Filipinos are waving their strong currency that killed their export.
WHATEVER RIGHT FOREIGN COUNTRIES DO, Filipinos do it in reverse.
VIVA FILIPINOS !!!! ANG INTELLIHENTE TALAGA N’YO !!!!!

Did SWS consulted the Filipino people that they wanted to go to war with china and spend gazillions of OFW dollars to buy useless pieces of Coat Guard clutters?
I bet ya SWS did not. They are just promoting the persona of benign0 Aquino.
Is this what the Filipinos really want ? WAR?
Gazillions to stimulate Japan and American economy over malnourished hungry Filipinos ?
STOP THIS PA-BILIB. Send Manny Pacquiao for the 5th round to UNIFY THE FILIPNOS.

Filipinos, Cabinet ministers, congressmen and Presidents all go to Vegas when Manny Pacquiao fights. If FIGHT IS DONE IN CHINA, All the Filipinos would go to China. Right?
That will be a total INVASION OF CHINA. NO SHOTS FIRED !!!!
MANNY PACQUIAO win or lose WILL BECOME A HERO. It will go down in Guiness Book of Records the first country ever invaded by Filipinos. David vs Golyat !!!
…Maybe we can beat China: Our Senate and Lower House can create 5 additional provinces with 1 Congressional District each in these disputed islands. China got only an ancient map to their claim while we have a LAW to our claim!
My father told me that in the Philippines everyone has to have ROTC in college. He said they were to carry WHITE HANDKERCHIEF neatly folded in their fatigue uniform.
My father asked the platoon commander why they have to carry WHITE HANDERKERCHIEF. The platoon commander said it is for life.
Father: “What?
Platton Commander: “White handerkerchief is for you to wave surrender. It saves life more than your garand”
ROTC is the worst subject in college, bro CS (Cultured Shock both in US and Pinoy) MRP, parade resting in the mid of the Sun, white hanky chief turned gray, everyone was furious and hungry, it is not far away from frat punishment he he he, did i learned?

JAPAN HAS CLAIM TO THESE ROCK OUTCROPPINGS IN CHINA SEA.
What game is Japan playing ? What is the role of Filipinos ? Is Japan into proxy war against China using “willing” Filipinos ? How sure is Japan Filipinos can defeat China ? With the intelligence of Japan than Filipnios, I bet you, Japan already knows Filipinos cannot beat China, but why arm Philippines ?
SOMETHING IS TOTALLY NOT RIGHT! SOMETHING IS ABSOLUTELY WRONG! Could it be Japan wants the Filipnios annhilated by the Chinese ?
We will soon find out. BUT HERE IS ONE FOR SURE, Filipinos are just farting hot air THAT IS ALL THERE IS TO IT.
They couldn’t even defeat the Spaniards for 400 years …
Couldn’t defeat the Americans for 50 years …
Couldn’t defeat the Japanese for 5 years …
HOW MUCH MORE CHINA ?
Stop pulling my legs, Filipinos. MAGPAHINGA KAYO. PUNTA KAYO SA PANSITAN. Stop this braggadicio. YOU ARE ONLY GOOT IN ENGLSICHTZES.
Has anyone noticed in the U.N. ONLY FILIPINOS DO NOT BRING WITH THEM AN ARMY OF ITNERPRETERS. Japan, Korea, Vietnam and other 1stworld country bring with them INTERPRETERS. Filipinos do not even vote a Philippine president if cannot speak englischtzes.
WHAT IS WITH ENGLSICHTZES ANYWAYS? Can it defeat China ?
Yeah, spoken englist can defeat china, off course, in the long run he he he Freedo does come-in handy after a generation perhaps, but Filipinos never surrender he he he makukulit tatayo at lalaban pa ring.

Chinese authorities are now monitoring their websites and blog sites. They are worried that the Filipinos have unknowingly created a potent internet virus. This virus may create havoc in their web community. They are also worried that this virus might infect their bloggers, their physicists, their military strategists, and their Politburo, thereby undermining plans for the invasion of the Spratlys. The effect of the virus is to lower the IQ of the infected, hovering to the lower 50’s.
Chinese Cyber agents scoured the internet and found Raissa’s blog. They found the cure but they need to take the actual documents to replicate the vaccine. A Chinese spy was sent to the Philippines.
He looked at the map, confirmed that this is the correct house. He broke into this house. He moved like a Ninja and directly wet to a disorganized office. The Doors song was playing, the room was clouded with thick smoke and a strong scent of cannabis made the spy’s slanted eyes even more shut. Squinting, the spy saw old photos pinned on the walls of a soldier’s Vietnam tours. One of the photos showed a guy with a helmet grinning, holding a corpse of a Vietcong, while his buddies were herding a terrorized peasant family towards a truck. The spy continued his search and found the laptop. He opened and searched for files. He browsed the folders, first under the title, “Raissa”, then onto “The Society of Honor”. He found the file named ASKAL and his eyes widened and satisfied that he found the formula for the vaccine!
Then, Bam! Bam! Gang! Nam! Bang! Joe with a red bandana wrapped around his forehead, red blood shut eyes and reloading his old reliable 45mm. He drew out a bayonet, carved a message on the dead spy’s forehead “USA”, and yelled, “That’s for my buddies in Vietnam, MotherF**ker !”
Meanwhile another team of spies were sent to Ivan Pavlov’s ancestral house in Central Russia.
The search for the vaccine of The Mariano Pacifico Virus continues…
Philippines is girding for war against behemoth China who has claims against 3rd rock from Mars so is Japan.
Japan arming Philippines because Japanese thought the Hamilton-class Coast Guard Clutter is armed-less harm-less. Japanese wanted to convert this Coast Guard Clutter into Passenger Ship instead because this is absolutely useless against China.
Once we have vanquish China, WHO WILL PROTECT US AGAINST JAPAN who also has claim on these 2 rock outcroppings in China Sea ?
These deeply discounted “state-of-the-art” battleships were unsold left-over of after Christmas sale.
I LIKE.Congrats on these two latest stories about PHL and Japan,
certainly of national, regional, and international security significance.
The western world is watching.
Philippines plans to purchase coast guard vessels from Japan: official
English.news.cn 2013-01-09 20:39:44
MANILA, Jan. 9 (Xinhua) — Philippine Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario said on Wednesday that the plan to acquire 10 coast guard vessels from Japan would be among topics of his meeting with visiting Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida on Thursday.
At a press briefing held here Wednesday, del Rosario said he would also discuss with Kishida the expansion of the Light Rail Transit – South line from Baclaran to Cavite and East line from Marikina to Antipolo.
The two officials are also expected to finalize Manila’s acquisition of 10 Multi-Role Response Vessels (MRRV).
Del Rosario said these projects will be implemented through soft loans or loans that have low interest rates with flexible payment terms under Japan’s Official Development Assistance (ODA).
We are now in league with Siera Leone and Congo and Pyongyang.
Buying military arsenals while their children go hungry. TYPICAL 3rdworld mentality run by virtual dictators.
ATTENTION TO ALL PERCEIVED GHOST INVADERS OF PHILIPPINES: We do not have natural resources. IF WE HAVE HAD NATURAL RESOURCES Filipinos could have exploited it. BUT WE DID NOT because we do not have natural resources.
So, Stay Away. The only NATURAL RESOURCES available are OFWs. We breed children like rabbits and train them to be exported as slaves.
Abraham was not able to make baby with his wife Sarah who was already in 90years of ages. Then Abraham made love to his DH (domestic Helper) an Egyptian woman named Hajjar, he got his first born Ismail, when Ismail was 14 years of ages Sarah became pregrant with the grace of Allah, to avoid the jealousy, Abraham was advice by Allah to bring his Bond woman Hajjar to Bacca which is now Mecca, Abraham question the Lord Almighty, why here? This is dessert, hot, no life, God said, Abraham, i will make Ismail and this place a great nation…
That promised is fulifilled, many nations are depending on the oil beneath Saudi Arabia, they called it Ghawar, you can use google power he he he
I embrace Islam in 1992 and my Islamic name is Ismael he he he, because i am first born to my mother he he he and i grew up so in love with catsup
for all my food, even if it pansit, i put ketsup on it.
Last week, there was a special offer of American garden 500ml ketsup with free mustard sauce he he he, it is now halves just after one week.
By the way, banana ketsup taste better than papa ketsup he he he
I read the Al Qur-an Al Kareen in englits version, 114 chapters,, all the same contents with the Bible except for one, Issa or Jesus was not crucified….
from that descripancy, i embraced Islam. Jesus was created by God thru Virgin Mary, by saying simple word “Be”, when Jesus asked the Father in Getsemane for his salvation from death, God immediately bring him up to His Kingdom, hence it is not true that our sins are forgiven by the death of Jesus Christ in the cross.
Do you believe that your sins are forgiven by God, because Jesus died for you in the cross??? I dont think so,
We will be judge according to the records we did, it is like microsoft database where-in the least athe the biggest sins are listed, such as masturbation, doing surfing while in the work, covet thy friends wife, stealing speeches from someone dead, he he he, not even a sin as tiny as the molecule will be left un-accounted.
You better be a believer of the Creator, even if not in Islam or Christianity, so long as you believe that there is God and the Judgent day and you fear to do big sins, like killing, adultery, cuncubinage, murder, rape etc, you may be allowed to enter Paradise…
Hmmmmmm …. so am I … I am totally against sins be forgiven. I want sins punished.
My parents told me when I was born I was given 100 merits by God. Everytime I sin, I demerits. My parents said I OWE A LOT TO GOD BECAUSE I HAVE SINNED SO MUCH. My parents further said that I WILL HAVE TO LIVE LONGER TO PAY FOR MY SINS ….
NO WONDER GOOT GUYS DIES YOUNG because they do not owe God to pay off their demerits.

Hooooray !!!! Saudi Arabianese owns the land. Foreigners exploit it for them. All Saudis have to do is play with their harems of chicks, sip kerosene, drink diesel and gasoline. This is what is going to happen to us Filipinos once we have the Spratleys Island (International name).
Spratleys is aptly entitled Kalaya-an in Filipino dialect it is called HOPE. Spratleys is the HOPE of the nation. But I doubt if Philippine Gov allows drilling in Kalaya-an. Because Filipnios are bunch of irresponsible environmentalists eco-friendlies.

Paktay tayo jan sa mga Japok hayyy mukhang masama plano, sabagay alam nila ang nangyari sa kanila WW2 he he dito sila nabigosa Pinas, history repeat itself…
Baka magbabarilan sila sa senado kaya lang kawawa si sotto kasi yung baril niya is sinotto (low-quality) baka biglang sumabog sa kamay niya pag pull ng trigger.

Life in Philippines is as complicated as Intel I-7 CPU.
Today I had the pleasure of meeting His Excellency Fumio Kishida, the newly-appointed Foreign Minister of Japan. The Philippines is the first country that His Excellency has visited since his appointment as Japan’s foreign minister, for which we are deeply honored. The official visit of Foreign Minister Kishida also reaffirms the strategic partnership between the Philippines and Japan.

Philippine Coast Guard to receive 10 patrol boats from Japan
By Tina G. Santos
Philippine Daily Inquirer

Off-topic: Cebu
http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/regions/01/12/13/cebu-capitol-employees-may-not-get-paychecks-month
I would not be suprised if people in cebu (notably the local government workers) will start going to the capitol and drag garcia out of office if what magpale said is true in this article.
Sana ma-release kaagad yung documents ng magkaalaman na kung sino ang nagsasabi ng totoo.
Can we settle back to the Islands issue? How is ‘property’ acquired, by ‘discovery, capture or creation?’
In Latin, it says: Qui prior est tempore potior est jure. Who is first in point of time is stronger in right [ Maxxim of Roman Law].
Is China ‘first’ in point of time? Philippines wants to submit the issue to the UN ICJ but China does not want. Why? Is China last in time? When did China ‘claim’ the whole Islands in the South China Sea? Last year? 2 Years ago? 3 Years ago? When? Not even during the time of Mao Tse Dong!
Deng Shao Peng’s time? Neither. So, when? If based only on ‘ancient maps’ do maps makes under International Law the right to claim? I do not believe it is. [ more on this later]
…I continue…
Or the popular accepted saying – First come, first serve – Henry Brinklow [Complaint of Roderick Mors].
I rem’ber, hope the Chinese Politburo does, Mao Tse Dong wanted even to ‘isolate’ China from the rest of the Western world…his slogan of the ‘Great Leap Forward’…to where, he only knows. Did he claim all the Islands in the South China Sea? Never heard of it until recently, not by Mr. Mao.
Do we take ‘property’ for granted? But taking something for granted is not exactly the best path to understand it xxx. [Property, by Jesse Dukeminier & James E. Krier]
Are ‘maps’ genuine proofs of claims on property? A ‘map’ is a drawing or other representation, usuall on a flat surface, of all or part of the earth’s surface (Webster World Dictionary). Ancient map is the same. Just a survey to make a map. There are thousands of maps. Are these items proofs of ownership or claim of what is drawn or represented. Obviously the answer is no.
So, what is the basis, legal or international law, China’s claim to all the Islands in the South China Sea? Ancient maps? Approved by our Bureau of Lands and LRA office? Or by the UN Body of Nations? None I have heard of.
China cannot claim those Islands by ‘discovery.’ Not by ‘creation.’ But could it claim by ‘capture?’ By threats of violence and force against others? [more later].
Again, maybe my last remark here…Is China observing and following the path of Nazi Adolf Hitler, claiming all of Europe as belonging to Germany? Went as far as Moscow? Tried up to the England! What happened to the thousand years Reich dream? HItler did not awaken but committed suicide as we were informed.
ASEAN except Philippines, reluctant to oppose China’s claim. What is ASEAN therefore? I ask somewhere here shall we give it up to China? Is this what we can do only? Where is friendship and kindness with the other countries? This small and weak country of ours is now being tested by a giant nuclear power, China!
As one said here, are we ripe for capture into China kangkungan?
I am out of topic here but I have to post it, else, I forget ….
India has TV soap or TV series whatever you call it COURT JUSTICE !!! 1stworld countries have Judge Judy, How to Kill a Mockingbird, etceteras …
WHY WE DO NOT HAVE IT HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES ?
Because TV Court is based in printed laws … WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPING IN REAL PHILIPPINE COURT IS NOT …
WHY IS IT THERE ARE LAWYERLY ANALYSTS in television in 1st world when it involves in the likes of O.J. Simpson and Bill Clinton WHEREAS IN THE PHILIPPINES PHILIPPINE FAKE-PERYODISTAS JUST PARROT WHAT is spewed from Justice spokespersons ?
BECAUSE LAWS IN THE PHILIPPINES IS WEDER-WEDER. It is not predictable. It is wishy-washy.
THAT IS ALL FOLKS! GOOT NIGHT !!!
THINK ABOUT IT. MARINATE ON IT. See if we can make batchoy out of it.
Are you proud of the thoughts you post?
Just curious.
@Raissa,
Please don’t ask him these kind of question, it might agrragvate his condition and might have some episodes.
He is currently taking Haloperidol Oral…same prescription given to Brenda.
Perhaps this bit of wisdom from Jim Paredes’ “The real laws of nature” can explain particularly:
Law #15 Law of Logical Argument – Anything is possible if you don’t know what you are talking about.
http://jimparedes.tumblr.com/
@Marina…SC or Judiciary does not have a TV Station or MEDIA has not worked on it.
You got a good idea, suggestion and point. In the “Small Claims’ actions [ not exceeding P100th value, etc.] where no lawyers are allowed to appear but only complainant and defendants, one MTC Court at least should be TELEVISED for people and the public to: 1st – know what is ‘small claims actions’ about; 2nd – how is it done for the parties involved; 3rd – what happens in there and, 4th – how justice is served and enforced.
Maybe many more but what is essential is put this on TV as you suggested. Let’s hope our Bar Chapters, SC, Judges and the public will clamor to do this. Nothing wrong with it I guess. So why not?
@Mariano, sorry ‘marina’…
I posted on @Mariano’s…re Small Claims Court. Where’s it? I await, if lost, I post again, short naman I can red-do.
nakakalula ang mga BONUSES ng mga nasa senado. napakalaki pala ng pera na NAIIPON nila eh bakit hindi sa mga nasalanta ng kalamidad ibigay. nakakaSIGURO ba ang Pilipino na sa kabutihan ng bayan gagastahin ng mga senador ang ibingiay sa kanilang bonus? eh sabi nga ng COA puede daw gastahin ng mga senador na tumanggap ng BONUS kung SAAN nila gusto gastahin. sa opinion ko lang, SIGURADO wala mapapakinabangan ang BAYAN sa mga natanggap nilang BONUS. SA BULSA NA LANG NILA MAPUPUNTA YUN.
ang mga pangkaraniwang kawani(rank & file) halos maglumuhod kung makatanggap ng BONUS NA MAS MALAKI SA 5 LIBONG PISO. SILA ANG TALAGANG NAGTRATRABAHO NG HUSTO. DAHIL KUNG WALA ANG MGA ITO WALANG PIPIRMAHAN O ISUSULONG NA BATAS ANG MGA SENADOR. ang mga kawaning ito ang nagpapawis para makatapos ng kanikanilang gawain samantalang ang mga senador nakaupo lang at panay ang daldalan sa senado o magisip ng makukurakot sa kaban ng bayan.
SANA GINOONG ENRILE KUNG MAKABAYAN KA, ANG IPINAMIGAY MO NA BONUSES SA MGA ALIPORES MO AY SA MGA NASALANTA NG KALAMIDAD SA BAYAN MO. YAN AY KUNG TOTOO NA MAHAL MO ANG BAYAN MO PERO PALAGAY KO HINDI. MAS MAHAL MO ANG SARILI MO. O DAHIL KAYA KANDIDATO ANG ANAK MO KAYA NAGPAPALAKAS KA SA MGA SENADORES NA BINIGYAN MO NG MALAKI. bakit hindi pantay pantay ang bigay mo ng bonus?meron maliit? dahil ba galit ka sa kanila?
AYYYYYY! TALAGA ANG BUHAY AY LIFE, WALANG PANTAY PANTAY SA MUNDO, MAY SUERTE AT MAY MALASUERTE. ang kawaning todo kayod ang WALANG SUERTE!!
MASUERTE ANG MALAPIT SA KUSINA PALAGING MAY ULING NA NATATANGGAP!!
pinay710,
May the native wisdom from your lips reach God’s ears.
sir springwoodman, marahil kulang ang mga dasal ko alam ko na mahal ng DIOS ang ating bayan. nasa bayan natin ang likas na kaymanan na wala sa ibang bansa, matatalino ang mamamayang Pilipino, talinong galing sa DIOS, kaya lang hindi ginagamit sa ikabubuti ng bansa natin. mapagmahal ang bawat Pilipino kaya lang SIGURO mas marami ang nagmamahal lang sa SARILI at hindi sa kapwa.
mas mapapakinabangan pa sana kung ang mga natipid ng senado ay ibinigay sa DSWD para maitulong sa mga nasalanta ng kalamidad at sa departamento ng edukasyon para maipagpagawa ng mga paaralan. maraming nasalanta ang bagyo na mga paaralan at maraming mga paaralan na kulang sa mga kagamitan ng mga magaaral. di ba dpat dun nalang ibinigay ang natipid ng senado? di ba ang mga senador ay para maglingkod sa bayan? eh sa nangyayari ngayon tumanggap sila ng milyon milyon at libo libong bonus SILA pa ang kinakalinga ng bayan? eh saan ba galing ang natipid nila? at bakit ngayon nalalapit ang halalan itinaon ang pagbibigay ng bonus? at bakit hindi pantay pantay ang halaga ng ibinigay, may malalaki may maliliit? ano kaya ang layunin ng namahala ng pagbibigay ng ganung halaga ng mga bonus? hindi maabot ng kaisipan ko ang ibat ibang mga dahilan.
hindi na ba titigil sa paggawa ng di makatarungang mga bagay ang ating mga namamahala sa ating bayan?
sana sa darating na halalan MAGISING NA TAYO. IHALAL NATN ANG MGA TOTOONG NAGMAMAHAL AT MAGLILINGKOD SA ATING BAYAN. HUWAG IHALAL ANG MGA MANGUNGURAKOT AT PANSARILI LANG ANG INIISIP.
A gross or grave abuse of a senator’s discretion! Like a judge’s. I cannot believe such is the thing happening in our senate leadership. No senator should be doing such things! It’s a shame! A disappointment! A mockery of ourselves and country! We really bellyache here.
ano kaya ang gagawin ng mga senador na nakatanggap ng milyon na pera bilang regalo? regalo/gift pa lang ito ha. paano na kung “suhol, palusot, padulas?” di lalo na tayo mahihilo sa laki ng pera na magpapasalin salin sa mga kamay nila?
teka…may isusulat ba sila na kwenta kung saan. kelan nila ginamit ito? baka kaya ayaw nila kay heidi dahil sa mga ganito gawain nila?
isa na naman ito dapat natin tandaan sa araw ng halalan.
mga politiko na sobrang galante magbigay ng regalo… sa kapwa nila politiko. samantalang tignan natin ang lugar (probinsya/bayan) nila kung ano na ba ang naipagawa nila?
talo na naman tayo mga mamamayan na nagbabayad ng buwis. pera natin ipamudmod lang nila.
We tax payer lets goooo sa office ni Kim Henares…heheheh!
Hi guys,
Sorry I can’t post today.
I had an interview this morning to afternoon – I’ll tell you where later.
Then tonight I agreed to guest in Jing Magsaysay’s public affairs show Newscafe on SolarNews at 10 PM. It’s about – online news. :)
Got to watch this partially. One takeaway is to keep on clicking on the ads of the politicians you DONT like when they appear on your visited sites – facebook, yahoo, etc. as advised by the other guest, Carlo Ople.
Because this causes that politician’s campaign (the advertiser) to pay more. :)
Off-topic: Truth or Lie?

Unless PDI can show proof of a signed paper or video recording that it was OKed by ochoa or PAOCC then this news will fall under the category of a tabloid media or a mere propaganda.
I hope PDI and other news media remembers that they owe a huge responsibility to the readers, sharing accurate and verified information with evidence.
Granting for the sake of saying it, that Hon. Ochoa did authorized the Atimonan opn [ he denies it] still there’s a lot of explaining to do, for one: why not in uniforms in that check point? two: why not only cops but Army soldiers [approved by AFP Chief of Staff?]; three: incredible ‘Check Point(s)’ it looks more like ‘Killing Points!’;
fifth: why ‘so many unnecessary Intelligence officers & men’ at Check Points? atbpa.
So many bad killings on ‘check points’ by PNP cops…rem’ber the one at Araneta Ave near the area to Bonifacio Ave…, a ‘blue car’ was fired upon because it was only blue? without hesitation, NO PLATE designation, rat-ratting & killing a young girl and her father..if I rem’ber right, the two were to attend a wedding on that day? What happened as to investigation to this incident?
With all the rules on engagements, etc., it appears PNP cannot perfectly read and follow the rule at the expense of life of the victims, ordinary citizens. What’s happening to our PNP? Inutile talaga? Bad incidents like these are FAST AND FURIOUS if not INFAMOUS!
Agree with your questions. Let me add also that they found fake IDs inside the SUV. Parang both sides may anomaly.
Either way theres no win win situation kasi on 1 hand its a PNP personnel + air force that was killed on the other hand its PNP + Army doing a shady chekpoint. :(
Masaklap lang is dinagdagan kaagad ng unverified info ng ibang media, and if people ask kanino nanggaling o sino ang nagsimula ng “Jueteng” theory i will blame oscar cruz., nagpa media interview pa :(
@leona, they r not inutile; they have the syndrome of what are we power for.
i mean “what are we in power for”
@davide…the ‘quote’ is originally for the lawmakers and was uttered by a high ranking lawmaker, etc. but ‘was’ not for cops and law enforcers. But if it is now ‘crawling’ down to them, the question of that good assemblyman Emmanuel Pelaez applies: ‘General, what’s happening to our country?’ after he was ambushed by assassins out to get him. His driver was killed.
What’s happening to our country, folks?
Many of this incident will be happening very soon, election time na! More guns cracking! Whether at ‘check or killing’ points or not.
Jinggoy to the rescue of JPE

You cant ask a party to make a stand if your own party (UNA) “NEVER” made a stand against important bills (sin tax and RH bill). Sa aking opinyon wala kayong kredibilidad to ask others since namamangka kayo sa dalawang ilog.
Mabuti pa yung NPC at LP na nagpahayag ng suporta sa RH bago mag botohan at least this coming election everyone is informed where this party stands on certain issues like RH bill, hindi na mangangapa sa dilim ang mga botante.
Pnoy: Kamot ulo ala Efren “Bata” reyes part II
http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/01/11/13/pnoy-exempt-gun-ban-says-poll-chief
I don’t know if this is sheer ignorance or his sincere willingness to abide by the rules/law, one thing is for sure though, this guys attitude needs to be exemplified and hopefully copied (sottoed) by other politicians.
Natawa talaga ako sa sagot ni sixto brillantes jr. sa article from ABS :)
Sen. Jinggoy should not lawyer or explain things on the issue for JPE, the latter is a seasoned lawyer and he can explain the whole thing. Sen. Jinggoy did not explain why four senators were not treated like the others. They don’t need those equipments for office uses or they need no table, chair or what not?
If these senators, all of them, have any shame left, they should all return that money to the Treasury or back to the Senate officially. Mabuti pa ibinigay sa mga victims ng PABLO typhoon, atbpa! JPE says “gifts” so, since the money are gifts then to these typhoon victims AND NOT TO NOT NON-VICTIMS IN THE SENATE !
sorry…pls ignore second NOT…my error….daming nuts!
Naiyak naman ako sa reaksiyon ni Renato Reyes. :cry:
Gusto lang pumuna…
Sorry, guys.
Can’t update yet.
Have this interview lined up this morning.
Meanwhile, here are the stories on the Japanese Foreign Minister visit in SCMP:

Japan pursues diplomatic offensive in Philippines visit
News›Asia
PHILIPPINES
Raissa Robles in Manila
A two-day visit by Japan’s foreign minister to the Philippines appears to be part of a well-coordinated diplomatic offensive by Tokyo to strengthen ties with other Asian countries amid tensions with China.
Fumio Kishida’s meetings yesterday with President Benigno Aquino and Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario, comes as both countries are engaged with separate maritime disputes with Beijing.
Kishida’s mission to Manila follows a recent trip by Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso to Myanmar, a close economic partner of China, with pledges to waive debt and extend new loans. Kishida will also visit Singapore, Brunei and Australia.
Next week, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will make his first overseas trip since winning office to Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand. Japan’s top government spokesman said it was not aimed at counter-balancing China’s influence in the region.
“China is an important country for Japan,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said, stressing the strategic nature of Japan’s bilateral ties with the world’s second largest economy.
But Beijing may view such diplomatic overtures with suspicion, considering what emerged from Kishida’s Manila meetings.
There were pledges for loans on a railway project that would extend Metro Manila’s urban railway to outlying provinces and the construction of a new airport on the resort island of Bohol.
But Tokyo’s offer of 10 patrol vessels and a communications system to boost the under-equipped Philippine coastguard is strategically, and politically, the most significant.
China and the Philippines have been engaged in a diplomatic row over rival claims to parts of the strategic and oil-rich South China Sea, almost all of which is claimed by China through its controversial nine-dash line.
Two of the hot spots are the Spratly Islands and Scarborough Shoal, which is known as Huangyan Island in China. Earlier this week, del Rosario said Manila asked Beijing to explain the recent deployment of Chinese patrol vessels to the region.
“We all understand the incursions being made by China in terms of the nine-dash line. For example, they do pose a threat to the stability of the region and we need to be able to address the possibility that freedom of navigation will be adversely impacted,” del Rosario said yesterday.
Kishida, without mentioning China, said the Philippines and Japan needed to boost their ties to help ensure peace.
“As the strategic environment in the region is changing, it is necessary for us as foreign ministers to share recognition of the situation, enhance the strategic partnership and cooperate towards shaping a peaceful and prosperous Asia-Pacific region,” he said.

Raissa, good morning to you!
Thanks for ‘feeding’ me together with the good CPMers here ‘this food’ for our bodies each day!
Thanks I can’t say more how you have ‘fed’ us for our souls also everyday!
May our people and the people of the world feel part of a golden chain of kindness that binds us to one another! [ The Chain of Kindness, by Wolfgang Von Goeth]
God bless you and Alan and the Family.
leona…
Thank you, Leona.
Much appreciated.
I have a confession to make.
IF and WHEN China’s annexation of the country materializes, it would be the death of Philippine “democracy”.
I have already prepared an epitaph to be erected atop its tomb:
“PHILIPPINE DEMOCRACY
(Killed by an electorate’s immaturity & PFHs)”
Electorate’s immaturity:
• Election to the Senate of actors and comedians; preference should have been given to engineers who are trained to build infrastructures like bridges, etc; educators who know the defects of the country’s educational system so they can legislate to remedy them; technocrats who favor the building of large industries like nickel-smelting plants (in 2011, the Philippines produced 230,000 metric tonnes of nickel ore, 2nd only to Russia’s 280,000 metric tonnes) for selling to the world processed nickel instead of ore, etc,
http://www.mapsofworld.com/minerals/world-nickel-producers.html
• Proliferation in the country of political dynasty in almost every region,
• Election of national leaders who are more guided by their faith making them more beholden to the clergy than to the people who elected them,
• Election of greedy leaders who are more interested in scamming the national treasury, e.g. , (if these are to be believed), fertilizer scam, bridge-construction scam, etc, and plundering of the national patrimony (illegal logging that already denuded a large part of our forest cover, indiscriminate/illegal mining that pollute the rivers and farmers’ irrigation systems that irrigate their ricefields), etc,
• Election of national/local officials who have twisted ideas about “rule of law” (e.g., Cebu’s Gov. Garcia’s case which is being supported by Binay-Enrile-Estrada faction [BEE] tandem) thus eroding democracy’s foundations/institutions. [If my information is correct, Gov. Garcia’s case has been reviewed by the late DILG Sec. Jesse Robredo and had recommended for filing it before the Ombudsman shortly before he died. To me, Garcia’s action is brazen disrespect of the true “rule of law”; what kind of role-modeling is she trying to hand down to the younger generation?],
• blind loyalty to political idols/celebraties, no matter how universally disgraced they were/are (classic case is Marcos and family: after looting the national treasury of Php 10 billion, they have slowly crept back to power. Another classic case is impeached Pres. Estrada who is regaining his lost limelight and may, depending on the intelligence of Manila voters, soon be the next Mayor of Manila after the May, 2013 elections.
PFHs (Pernicious Filipino Habits):
I have already cited a number of them in my previous posts in this blog; this time, let me add a new one:
“Sense of entitlement” (SE) – this is a twin of PFH “bantay-salakay” (guarding-stealing).
Just last week, a video was aired on TFC Channel showing a group of PNP officers grabbing for their own use confiscated illegal firecrackers. What I found it striking was their great joy in doing it.
In ending the hunt to recover the Php 10 billion Marcos loot after being able to get back only Php 4 billion, Andres Bautista, Pnoy’s PCGG head, has said: ” “These accusations (against the commission officials) are not without basis. They were the ones in charge of guarding the chicken coop and some of them helped themselves to the eggs,” he said, refusing to name names.”
http://news.ph.msn.com/regional/philippines-set-to-quit-marcos-wealth-chase
Some government officials are so corruptly hardened as not to be trusted at all to guard any “chicken coop.”
Coming back to the annexation scenario: If and when this happens, all of the above will surely be straightened out, including addiction to “sabong” (cockfighting), “jueteng” (a numbers’ game), drugs, balikbayan box sending, and, (what do you think?), even perhaps “teleserye” watching.
Everyone will be wearing Mao suit, using the bicycle to move around from home to place of work and working the commune’s land to produce food with ABSOLUTELY NO exception, perhaps side by side with the showbiz personalities, priests and the bishops. Any dissenter can always be lined up before a firing squad. According to what I know, there is no CHR in China.
I once read one article during Mao Tse-tung’s time which said: “100 million Chinese is an insignificant number compared to 900 million others.” Their population then was only 1 billion; it has now climbed to 1.2 billion.
The only drawback when annexation happens: we’ll all become second-class citizens in our own native land. Perhaps, we deserve it because when we were given the chance to manage our own affairs, we abused the system.
thisis the modern world we live in. Philippines can never be a tutelage of Chinese. China doesn’t want to jeopardize their economic might over Philippines. McKinley have had sleepless nights and headaches with Filipinos. THE CHINESE JUST TESTING THE WORLD WHO’D BLINK FIRST. Even if we blink, they’d never do such foolishness.
Mighty Japan huff and puff over string of kurile islands when Russia is not mighty anymore.
@fed_up…that epitaph will win in the Guiness Longest Book of Epitaph! We can use the letters as a bridge to China! hahaha…joke only. Thanks. Less power to your omen. I’m frightened!
Cartographic documents produced by Chiense officials shows Paracel Islands were in their map in the 13th century during Ming Dynasty. According to Chinese official they could also have claimed Philippines as theirs because in 1574 Limahong marauders had Ilocos wastheir vassal state but they’d rather have one island at a time.
Cloma just recently discovered Spratleys fo the Philippines in 1947.
So which one is to be believed? and follow?
PHilippines is more than a thousand nautical miles from Spain yet American has to pay Spain to acquire Philippines including its inhabitants. This is the argument of the Chinese. As to Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan’s claim? Japan gave up paracel to Chinese when they lost the World Wide War II.
I’ll have Boris Pasternak to decide …
Geographical distance is not a basis for ownership, neither are historical documents. Possession and/or administration of a contested territory are good bases. But the best way to resolve this is not to wave documents and shout but to present all these claims to an INTERNATIONAL COURT SET UP FOR THE PURPOSE (international tribunal on the law of the sea). The Philippines wants to; China consistently refuses to do so with us. Ironically, it is willing to do this in its island controversy with Japan. Double standard?
Meriam has to recuse herself if this were to be brought to international court.
I do not want Meriam to excuse herself. I want to see her behaviour if it is up to international standard.
Except that you’re talking of the wrong court, Miriam is going to the International Criminal Court.
…what @Mariano meant was ICJ or ICC, he wrote only “international court.” Kulang ng isang letra.
Meriam to ICC, this Court will have jurisdiction when China attacks PN tug boats that are ‘cut up’ no cannons and ammo. To attack will be criminal already in nature.
Sen. Meriam will not inhibit or excuse herself when China is accused for a crime before the ICC. The reason is: if she had her way she will wage war against China! Now if China is accused in the ICC, she’ll wage for a conviction against China! What’s the sentence she’ll campaign for with the other Judges?
…this is it…JUDGEMENT: Wherefore, all members of the Chinese Polit-buro [ not the Kapampangan delicacy here!] 2 million plus are hereby EXILED to Panatag Shoals and the LIBERAL PARTY OF PRES. AQUINO and his gang to GOVERN CHINA AND THE CHINESE PEOPLE. [PNoy is Chinese “Co Uang Co…mother side]. So ORDERED.” Signed: Judge Meriam [ ponente]. We CONCUR: ___ ___ ___ ___ ___.
The Chinese people will be very happy with PNoy as their new president! Another kung fat tsoy for them!
This is just imagination….in the mind of…?
Did you notice the whole Chinese Sea and all its reefs are Chinese according Google Earth, did Eric E. Schmidt make a stop-over in China on his trip to North Korea?
China’s claim that the entire China sea is theirs based on their names.
We can also say that Mariano Pacific(o) owns the entire pacific following the same logic.
But I rather be under the Chinese rulers rather than the latter-we might be under Caligula and don’t want tobe sodomised:-)
LOL!
HAHA
…walang tawa ako dyan…. …. …
HAHAHA!
galing mo at tama ka dyan.
I AM SOOO DEPRESSED. Not goot. Bad news. I found out I have 5 passports in 5 different countries. I confronted my parents if they were some kind of sleeper spooks. I looked at Mama closely. She does look like Ana Chapman.
Parent: “Son, you were born in 5 countries”
Son: “Huh? That is phyusically impossible! A child can only be born in one country UNLESS HE IS GOD”
Parent: “You are not God”. He looked down on the dirt we were standing on, he continued, “Seriously, Frankly, you belong to 5 countries”
Son: “Papa, you’ve been reading Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Johnny Walker and Stolichnaya aren’t you?”
Parent: “You were born in Paracel Islands. Filipinos call it Kalayan, Vietnamese call it something else, Chinese claimed it as theirs back in the Ming Dynasty, Taiwan also so does Malaysia”
I walked away confused.
I went to Philippine Airlines ask for a flight to Spratleys. PAL referred me to Philippines’ Homeland Security. Homeland said I cannot go to Spratleys because it cannot sustain life. The only wildlife in Spratleys are 40 Filipinos lost at sea.
Why in the heck! I cannot even charter a flight to Spratleys. I flagged water pumpboat they did not even want to go near Spratleys.
…sail on the PN Hamilton clutter boat, all yours, on the house by Navy! P.S. -don’t forget to wear ten life-jackets as you will meet Chinese gun boats, be pepperd like a boinggoot!
Remarkable
(1) You have parents?
(2) They run a business making documents? Are they based in Recto, I presume?
Americans are withdrawing from Iraq, Afghanistan and hotspot because of their Fiscal Cliff, whereas, Filipinos are spending crazy over useless indian pana.
Japan Prime Minister is ordering his Central bank to study how to devalue their yen to stimulate their export, whereas, Filipinos are waving their strong currency that killed their export.
WHATEVER RIGHT FOREIGN COUNTRIES DO, Filipinos do it in reverse.
VIVA FILIPINOS !!!! ANG INTELLIHENTE TALAGA N’YO !!!!!

Did SWS consulted the Filipino people that they wanted to go to war with china and spend gazillions of OFW dollars to buy useless pieces of Coat Guard clutters?
I bet ya SWS did not. They are just promoting the persona of benign0 Aquino.
Is this what the Filipinos really want ? WAR?
Gazillions to stimulate Japan and American economy over malnourished hungry Filipinos ?
STOP THIS PA-BILIB. Send Manny Pacquiao for the 5th round to UNIFY THE FILIPNOS.
the best venue for Manny Pacman fight with marques is none other than Shanghai China,in this manner, China Pres will think twice attacking Phillipines is a waste of time, they will be lost in the long run he he he he mahaba tiniis ng mga vietcong, lalo namang matiisin mga pinoy, mauubos sila sa mga NPA kaatake sa kanila by surprise, lalabas ulit yun mga Bonifacio he he he
HA! HA! HA! Goot one! Goot one! I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU.
The 5th Pacquiao vs Marquez should be done in …. where else …. C-H-I-N-A !!!!
Filipinos, Cabinet ministers, congressmen and Presidents all go to Vegas when Manny Pacquiao fights. If FIGHT IS DONE IN CHINA, All the Filipinos would go to China. Right?
That will be a total INVASION OF CHINA. NO SHOTS FIRED !!!!
MANNY PACQUIAO win or lose WILL BECOME A HERO. It will go down in Guiness Book of Records the first country ever invaded by Filipinos. David vs Golyat !!!
Weeeee !!!! HAWR! HAWR! HAWR!
it’s detailed right here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYGCUqKu0GA
…Maybe we can beat China: Our Senate and Lower House can create 5 additional provinces with 1 Congressional District each in these disputed islands. China got only an ancient map to their claim while we have a LAW to our claim!
Kaya natin ito! Anong say mo Lois IVforte?
HE HE HE HE kaya yan, basta nasa unahan si CS MRP he he he
hahaha, magkatono na sina macspeed at MRP…
…pambihira mag kasama ang Muslim at ‘atheist’! …they’ve had kindness.
My father told me that in the Philippines everyone has to have ROTC in college. He said they were to carry WHITE HANDKERCHIEF neatly folded in their fatigue uniform.
My father asked the platoon commander why they have to carry WHITE HANDERKERCHIEF. The platoon commander said it is for life.
Father: “What?
Platton Commander: “White handerkerchief is for you to wave surrender. It saves life more than your garand”
ROTC is the worst subject in college, bro CS (Cultured Shock both in US and Pinoy) MRP, parade resting in the mid of the Sun, white hanky chief turned gray, everyone was furious and hungry, it is not far away from frat punishment he he he, did i learned? See how were your Papa’s developement, great…
@macspeed…you learned ROTC? 11 General Orders? Weight of Garand rifle? [Armalite na pala!] Tanghal Ta! hahaha…password? ‘di mo ako kilala?…
Last night I was held hostage to a TFC Channel. I see food competition. The format, everything, were copied from the Korean movie: KIMCHIE BATTLE PART 2
MMK made me cry ALWAYS and some soap did made me laugh he he he this is life, you needed those to be happy and fulfilled he he he
See? Your blood is “Brown”, natural Tan, no need for the Sun or artificial solar rays, try to walk naked in beach, these white girls will chase you, your color is Pinoy he he he, even if it is light brown, Pinoy skin is the best….hence you are here.
whites doesnt have CPM…
@macspeed 6.1
It made me cringe everytime I saw stacks and stacks Glutathione the skin whitening soap. Why in hell Pinays want their skin to be white whereas American women want theirs to be tan.
Pinays instead must be thankful that they’re endowed with fair colored skin where American women are so obsessed to have like ours.
We might as well call our women “albinas”
Pilipinas are beauty conscious, hence sa Pinas lang maraming Parlor he he he grabee kung alam lang ng mga naglalagay ng whitening cream, na hinahabol ng mga whites ang skin natin, siguro hihina ang beauty industry he he he, intsik din may dala nya sa Pinas kaya malabo tayong girahen, kasi narito businesses nila sa Pinas, yun mga product nila sa labas ng china tulad sa Saudi maga pinoy din nabile he he he he
@macspeed
You’re darn right, see what happened at the recent Miss Universe pageant. we claimed that Ms Janine Tagonon should be the Ms Universe Not the Ms USA
It only shows two things;
1. Pinays are more beautiful and intelligent
2. We cannot accept judges decision
JAPAN HAS CLAIM TO THESE ROCK OUTCROPPINGS IN CHINA SEA.
What game is Japan playing ? What is the role of Filipinos ? Is Japan into proxy war against China using “willing” Filipinos ? How sure is Japan Filipinos can defeat China ? With the intelligence of Japan than Filipnios, I bet you, Japan already knows Filipinos cannot beat China, but why arm Philippines ?
SOMETHING IS TOTALLY NOT RIGHT! SOMETHING IS ABSOLUTELY WRONG! Could it be Japan wants the Filipnios annhilated by the Chinese ?
We will soon find out. BUT HERE IS ONE FOR SURE, Filipinos are just farting hot air THAT IS ALL THERE IS TO IT.
They couldn’t even defeat the Spaniards for 400 years …
Couldn’t defeat the Americans for 50 years …
Couldn’t defeat the Japanese for 5 years …
HOW MUCH MORE CHINA ?
Stop pulling my legs, Filipinos. MAGPAHINGA KAYO. PUNTA KAYO SA PANSITAN. Stop this braggadicio. YOU ARE ONLY GOOT IN ENGLSICHTZES.
Has anyone noticed in the U.N. ONLY FILIPINOS DO NOT BRING WITH THEM AN ARMY OF ITNERPRETERS. Japan, Korea, Vietnam and other 1stworld country bring with them INTERPRETERS. Filipinos do not even vote a Philippine president if cannot speak englischtzes.
WHAT IS WITH ENGLSICHTZES ANYWAYS? Can it defeat China ?
Yeah, spoken englist can defeat china, off course, in the long run he he he Freedo does come-in handy after a generation perhaps, but Filipinos never surrender he he he makukulit tatayo at lalaban pa ring.
Pero wag na bumili nyang mga pusila pusila, sayang lang pera jan, kung ibinibigay na libre wag na tanggapin, perahin na lang, gagastos pa sa maintenance ng mga yun.
takot kasi mga japok sa intsik, kaya tayo ang naisip nila na gamitin sa kaguluhan nila he he he
I bet if we sent you to the contested islands China would think twice about attacking. They’d have to spend a fortune on headache pills and earplugs
HA! HA! HA! CHINESE will chop me up into chop-suey
Chinese News Alert!
Chinese authorities are now monitoring their websites and blog sites. They are worried that the Filipinos have unknowingly created a potent internet virus. This virus may create havoc in their web community. They are also worried that this virus might infect their bloggers, their physicists, their military strategists, and their Politburo, thereby undermining plans for the invasion of the Spratlys. The effect of the virus is to lower the IQ of the infected, hovering to the lower 50’s.
Chinese Cyber agents scoured the internet and found Raissa’s blog. They found the cure but they need to take the actual documents to replicate the vaccine. A Chinese spy was sent to the Philippines.
He looked at the map, confirmed that this is the correct house. He broke into this house. He moved like a Ninja and directly wet to a disorganized office. The Doors song was playing, the room was clouded with thick smoke and a strong scent of cannabis made the spy’s slanted eyes even more shut. Squinting, the spy saw old photos pinned on the walls of a soldier’s Vietnam tours. One of the photos showed a guy with a helmet grinning, holding a corpse of a Vietcong, while his buddies were herding a terrorized peasant family towards a truck. The spy continued his search and found the laptop. He opened and searched for files. He browsed the folders, first under the title, “Raissa”, then onto “The Society of Honor”. He found the file named ASKAL and his eyes widened and satisfied that he found the formula for the vaccine!
Then, Bam! Bam! Gang! Nam! Bang! Joe with a red bandana wrapped around his forehead, red blood shut eyes and reloading his old reliable 45mm. He drew out a bayonet, carved a message on the dead spy’s forehead “USA”, and yelled, “That’s for my buddies in Vietnam, MotherF**ker !”
Meanwhile another team of spies were sent to Ivan Pavlov’s ancestral house in Central Russia.
The search for the vaccine of The Mariano Pacifico Virus continues…
Hmmm. You were inspired :-)
@Raissa
Might have sent the spy into your bedroom, but I did not want to share the imagery where you were observed in an intimate activity with Alan :-)
right, contaminated by CS MRP he he eh
Philippines is girding for war against behemoth China who has claims against 3rd rock from Mars so is Japan.
Japan arming Philippines because Japanese thought the Hamilton-class Coast Guard Clutter is armed-less harm-less. Japanese wanted to convert this Coast Guard Clutter into Passenger Ship instead because this is absolutely useless against China.
Once we have vanquish China, WHO WILL PROTECT US AGAINST JAPAN who also has claim on these 2 rock outcroppings in China Sea ?
These deeply discounted “state-of-the-art” battleships were unsold left-over of after Christmas sale.
I LIKE.Congrats on these two latest stories about PHL and Japan,
certainly of national, regional, and international security significance.
The western world is watching.
It happened as reported in China…

Wow Philippines will have Japanese made trains? I hope this push through pati na yung 10 coast guard ships :)
We are now in league with Siera Leone and Congo and Pyongyang.
Buying military arsenals while their children go hungry. TYPICAL 3rdworld mentality run by virtual dictators.
ATTENTION TO ALL PERCEIVED GHOST INVADERS OF PHILIPPINES: We do not have natural resources. IF WE HAVE HAD NATURAL RESOURCES Filipinos could have exploited it. BUT WE DID NOT because we do not have natural resources.
So, Stay Away. The only NATURAL RESOURCES available are OFWs. We breed children like rabbits and train them to be exported as slaves.
Catsup anyone ?
Abraham was not able to make baby with his wife Sarah who was already in 90years of ages. Then Abraham made love to his DH (domestic Helper) an Egyptian woman named Hajjar, he got his first born Ismail, when Ismail was 14 years of ages Sarah became pregrant with the grace of Allah, to avoid the jealousy, Abraham was advice by Allah to bring his Bond woman Hajjar to Bacca which is now Mecca, Abraham question the Lord Almighty, why here? This is dessert, hot, no life, God said, Abraham, i will make Ismail and this place a great nation…
That promised is fulifilled, many nations are depending on the oil beneath Saudi Arabia, they called it Ghawar, you can use google power he he he

@Macspeed, with all seriousness, are you really? …… A …. covnert …. to Muslim ?
What made you? I’m just curious because I am not religious.
I read the Al Qur-an Al Kareen in englits version, 114 chapters,, all the same contents with the Bible except for one, Issa or Jesus was not crucified….
from that descripancy, i embraced Islam. Jesus was created by God thru Virgin Mary, by saying simple word “Be”, when Jesus asked the Father in Getsemane for his salvation from death, God immediately bring him up to His Kingdom, hence it is not true that our sins are forgiven by the death of Jesus Christ in the cross.
Do you believe that your sins are forgiven by God, because Jesus died for you in the cross??? I dont think so,
We will be judge according to the records we did, it is like microsoft database where-in the least athe the biggest sins are listed, such as masturbation, doing surfing while in the work, covet thy friends wife, stealing speeches from someone dead, he he he, not even a sin as tiny as the molecule will be left un-accounted.
You better be a believer of the Creator, even if not in Islam or Christianity, so long as you believe that there is God and the Judgent day and you fear to do big sins, like killing, adultery, cuncubinage, murder, rape etc, you may be allowed to enter Paradise…
Hmmmmmm …. so am I … I am totally against sins be forgiven. I want sins punished.
My parents told me when I was born I was given 100 merits by God. Everytime I sin, I demerits. My parents said I OWE A LOT TO GOD BECAUSE I HAVE SINNED SO MUCH. My parents further said that I WILL HAVE TO LIVE LONGER TO PAY FOR MY SINS ….
NO WONDER GOOT GUYS DIES YOUNG because they do not owe God to pay off their demerits.

Hooooray !!!! Saudi Arabianese owns the land. Foreigners exploit it for them. All Saudis have to do is play with their harems of chicks, sip kerosene, drink diesel and gasoline. This is what is going to happen to us Filipinos once we have the Spratleys Island (International name).
Spratleys is aptly entitled Kalaya-an in Filipino dialect it is called HOPE. Spratleys is the HOPE of the nation. But I doubt if Philippine Gov allows drilling in Kalaya-an. Because Filipnios are bunch of irresponsible environmentalists eco-friendlies.

@baycas………I would like to learn how to post news items and videos like you do. Can you please direct me to some how-to-do-it materials on the internet. or should I come to Manila for some tutorials? My contact/conduit is [email protected]. I only use this e-mail address for very limited special purposes. Thank you. Buddy.
Sir, you will notice that most of the time I just copy the full web address (URL) from the web address bar on top of a web page and paste this URL into the comment box.
It will be cinch if you’re using a PC or Mac with a mouse because:
(1) Left-click on the web address bar, the full web address will automatically be highlighted
(2) Right-click to copy
(3) Paste onto the comment box
I don’t copy-paste an entire article, just an excerpt. Fair use will allow re-posting even if article is copyrighted. Insert some original words so the excerpt will form part of your comment.
I usually enclose the excerpt in between blockquote HTML tags…wherein the word “blockquote” is enclosed in between to start the citation and “/blockquote” is enclosed in between to end the citation.
For example:
(blockquote)Mary had a little lamb.(/blockquote)
Please change the parentheses into “less than” ( to open) and “more than” (to close) signs.
What I meant…
I usually enclose the excerpt in between blockquote HTML tags…wherein the word “blockquote” is enclosed in between “less than” and “more than” signs to start the citation and “/blockquote” is enclosed in between “less than” and “more than” signs to end the citation.

It will appear…
Oops, supposed to be “Mary”…
Thanks for the tutorial, boss.
@tristanism,
You’re most welcome.
As to the YouTube videos…
Just click on the “Share button over the video window then “eMail“. Don’t proceed to mail the URL but just copy-paste the URL into the comment box.
Make the URL stand alone in the comment box in order not to pass through the “moderation” phase. After pressing the “Submit” button the video window will automatically appear as your comment.
Tutorial on videos under way but an example will appear like this next comment…

Oh, @Buddy, I failed to mention that you need to open two or more tabs/windows to accomplish the copy-pastings…
Always a raissaroblesdotcom tab or window open to receive comments and one or several websites open from where to gather news items and URLs.
Another thing, watch out for sottoisms (inadvertent plagiarism) or sottonisms (deliberate plagiarism).
Maraming salamat…..especially the last one re: opening of two or more tabs….I will attempt….I will practice….and I may even ask my teen aged dalagita to help out…..much appreciated, baycas…..
@Buddy,
Glad to be of help. You’re welcome!

I would not be suprised if people in cebu (notably the local government workers) will start going to the capitol and drag garcia out of office if what magpale said is true in this article.
Sana ma-release kaagad yung documents ng magkaalaman na kung sino ang nagsasabi ng totoo.
Can we settle back to the Islands issue? How is ‘property’ acquired, by ‘discovery, capture or creation?’
In Latin, it says: Qui prior est tempore potior est jure. Who is first in point of time is stronger in right [ Maxxim of Roman Law].
Is China ‘first’ in point of time? Philippines wants to submit the issue to the UN ICJ but China does not want. Why? Is China last in time? When did China ‘claim’ the whole Islands in the South China Sea? Last year? 2 Years ago? 3 Years ago? When? Not even during the time of Mao Tse Dong!
Deng Shao Peng’s time? Neither. So, when? If based only on ‘ancient maps’ do maps makes under International Law the right to claim? I do not believe it is. [ more on this later]
…I continue…
Or the popular accepted saying – First come, first serve – Henry Brinklow [Complaint of Roderick Mors].
I rem’ber, hope the Chinese Politburo does, Mao Tse Dong wanted even to ‘isolate’ China from the rest of the Western world…his slogan of the ‘Great Leap Forward’…to where, he only knows. Did he claim all the Islands in the South China Sea? Never heard of it until recently, not by Mr. Mao.
Do we take ‘property’ for granted? But taking something for granted is not exactly the best path to understand it xxx. [Property, by Jesse Dukeminier & James E. Krier]
Are ‘maps’ genuine proofs of claims on property? A ‘map’ is a drawing or other representation, usuall on a flat surface, of all or part of the earth’s surface (Webster World Dictionary). Ancient map is the same. Just a survey to make a map. There are thousands of maps. Are these items proofs of ownership or claim of what is drawn or represented. Obviously the answer is no.
So, what is the basis, legal or international law, China’s claim to all the Islands in the South China Sea? Ancient maps? Approved by our Bureau of Lands and LRA office? Or by the UN Body of Nations? None I have heard of.
China cannot claim those Islands by ‘discovery.’ Not by ‘creation.’ But could it claim by ‘capture?’ By threats of violence and force against others? [more later].
Again, maybe my last remark here…Is China observing and following the path of Nazi Adolf Hitler, claiming all of Europe as belonging to Germany? Went as far as Moscow? Tried up to the England! What happened to the thousand years Reich dream? HItler did not awaken but committed suicide as we were informed.
ASEAN except Philippines, reluctant to oppose China’s claim. What is ASEAN therefore? I ask somewhere here shall we give it up to China? Is this what we can do only? Where is friendship and kindness with the other countries? This small and weak country of ours is now being tested by a giant nuclear power, China!
As one said here, are we ripe for capture into China kangkungan?
I am out of topic here but I have to post it, else, I forget ….
India has TV soap or TV series whatever you call it COURT JUSTICE !!! 1stworld countries have Judge Judy, How to Kill a Mockingbird, etceteras …
WHY WE DO NOT HAVE IT HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES ?
Because TV Court is based in printed laws … WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPING IN REAL PHILIPPINE COURT IS NOT …
WHY IS IT THERE ARE LAWYERLY ANALYSTS in television in 1st world when it involves in the likes of O.J. Simpson and Bill Clinton WHEREAS IN THE PHILIPPINES PHILIPPINE FAKE-PERYODISTAS JUST PARROT WHAT is spewed from Justice spokespersons ?
BECAUSE LAWS IN THE PHILIPPINES IS WEDER-WEDER. It is not predictable. It is wishy-washy.
THAT IS ALL FOLKS! GOOT NIGHT !!!
THINK ABOUT IT. MARINATE ON IT. See if we can make batchoy out of it.
Are you proud of the thoughts you post?
Just curious.

@Marina…SC or Judiciary does not have a TV Station or MEDIA has not worked on it.
You got a good idea, suggestion and point. In the “Small Claims’ actions [ not exceeding P100th value, etc.] where no lawyers are allowed to appear but only complainant and defendants, one MTC Court at least should be TELEVISED for people and the public to: 1st – know what is ‘small claims actions’ about; 2nd – how is it done for the parties involved; 3rd – what happens in there and, 4th – how justice is served and enforced.
Maybe many more but what is essential is put this on TV as you suggested. Let’s hope our Bar Chapters, SC, Judges and the public will clamor to do this. Nothing wrong with it I guess. So why not?

nakakalula ang mga BONUSES ng mga nasa senado. napakalaki pala ng pera na NAIIPON nila eh bakit hindi sa mga nasalanta ng kalamidad ibigay. nakakaSIGURO ba ang Pilipino na sa kabutihan ng bayan gagastahin ng mga senador ang ibingiay sa kanilang bonus? eh sabi nga ng COA puede daw gastahin ng mga senador na tumanggap ng BONUS kung SAAN nila gusto gastahin. sa opinion ko lang, SIGURADO wala mapapakinabangan ang BAYAN sa mga natanggap nilang BONUS. SA BULSA NA LANG NILA MAPUPUNTA YUN.
ang mga pangkaraniwang kawani(rank & file) halos maglumuhod kung makatanggap ng BONUS NA MAS MALAKI SA 5 LIBONG PISO. SILA ANG TALAGANG NAGTRATRABAHO NG HUSTO. DAHIL KUNG WALA ANG MGA ITO WALANG PIPIRMAHAN O ISUSULONG NA BATAS ANG MGA SENADOR. ang mga kawaning ito ang nagpapawis para makatapos ng kanikanilang gawain samantalang ang mga senador nakaupo lang at panay ang daldalan sa senado o magisip ng makukurakot sa kaban ng bayan.
SANA GINOONG ENRILE KUNG MAKABAYAN KA, ANG IPINAMIGAY MO NA BONUSES SA MGA ALIPORES MO AY SA MGA NASALANTA NG KALAMIDAD SA BAYAN MO. YAN AY KUNG TOTOO NA MAHAL MO ANG BAYAN MO PERO PALAGAY KO HINDI. MAS MAHAL MO ANG SARILI MO. O DAHIL KAYA KANDIDATO ANG ANAK MO KAYA NAGPAPALAKAS KA SA MGA SENADORES NA BINIGYAN MO NG MALAKI. bakit hindi pantay pantay ang bigay mo ng bonus?meron maliit? dahil ba galit ka sa kanila?
AYYYYYY! TALAGA ANG BUHAY AY LIFE, WALANG PANTAY PANTAY SA MUNDO, MAY SUERTE AT MAY MALASUERTE. ang kawaning todo kayod ang WALANG SUERTE!!
MASUERTE ANG MALAPIT SA KUSINA PALAGING MAY ULING NA NATATANGGAP!!
pinay710,
May the native wisdom from your lips reach God’s ears.
sir springwoodman, marahil kulang ang mga dasal ko alam ko na mahal ng DIOS ang ating bayan. nasa bayan natin ang likas na kaymanan na wala sa ibang bansa, matatalino ang mamamayang Pilipino, talinong galing sa DIOS, kaya lang hindi ginagamit sa ikabubuti ng bansa natin. mapagmahal ang bawat Pilipino kaya lang SIGURO mas marami ang nagmamahal lang sa SARILI at hindi sa kapwa.
mas mapapakinabangan pa sana kung ang mga natipid ng senado ay ibinigay sa DSWD para maitulong sa mga nasalanta ng kalamidad at sa departamento ng edukasyon para maipagpagawa ng mga paaralan. maraming nasalanta ang bagyo na mga paaralan at maraming mga paaralan na kulang sa mga kagamitan ng mga magaaral. di ba dpat dun nalang ibinigay ang natipid ng senado? di ba ang mga senador ay para maglingkod sa bayan? eh sa nangyayari ngayon tumanggap sila ng milyon milyon at libo libong bonus SILA pa ang kinakalinga ng bayan? eh saan ba galing ang natipid nila? at bakit ngayon nalalapit ang halalan itinaon ang pagbibigay ng bonus? at bakit hindi pantay pantay ang halaga ng ibinigay, may malalaki may maliliit? ano kaya ang layunin ng namahala ng pagbibigay ng ganung halaga ng mga bonus? hindi maabot ng kaisipan ko ang ibat ibang mga dahilan.
hindi na ba titigil sa paggawa ng di makatarungang mga bagay ang ating mga namamahala sa ating bayan?
sana sa darating na halalan MAGISING NA TAYO. IHALAL NATN ANG MGA TOTOONG NAGMAMAHAL AT MAGLILINGKOD SA ATING BAYAN. HUWAG IHALAL ANG MGA MANGUNGURAKOT AT PANSARILI LANG ANG INIISIP.
A gross or grave abuse of a senator’s discretion! Like a judge’s. I cannot believe such is the thing happening in our senate leadership. No senator should be doing such things! It’s a shame! A disappointment! A mockery of ourselves and country! We really bellyache here.
ano kaya ang gagawin ng mga senador na nakatanggap ng milyon na pera bilang regalo? regalo/gift pa lang ito ha. paano na kung “suhol, palusot, padulas?” di lalo na tayo mahihilo sa laki ng pera na magpapasalin salin sa mga kamay nila?
teka…may isusulat ba sila na kwenta kung saan. kelan nila ginamit ito? baka kaya ayaw nila kay heidi dahil sa mga ganito gawain nila?
isa na naman ito dapat natin tandaan sa araw ng halalan.
mga politiko na sobrang galante magbigay ng regalo… sa kapwa nila politiko. samantalang tignan natin ang lugar (probinsya/bayan) nila kung ano na ba ang naipagawa nila?
talo na naman tayo mga mamamayan na nagbabayad ng buwis. pera natin ipamudmod lang nila.
We tax payer lets goooo sa office ni Kim Henares…heheheh!
Hi guys,
Sorry I can’t post today.
I had an interview this morning to afternoon – I’ll tell you where later.
Then tonight I agreed to guest in Jing Magsaysay’s public affairs show Newscafe on SolarNews at 10 PM. It’s about – online news. :)
Got to watch this partially. One takeaway is to keep on clicking on the ads of the politicians you DONT like when they appear on your visited sites – facebook, yahoo, etc. as advised by the other guest, Carlo Ople.
Because this causes that politician’s campaign (the advertiser) to pay more. :)

Unless PDI can show proof of a signed paper or video recording that it was OKed by ochoa or PAOCC then this news will fall under the category of a tabloid media or a mere propaganda.
I hope PDI and other news media remembers that they owe a huge responsibility to the readers, sharing accurate and verified information with evidence.
Granting for the sake of saying it, that Hon. Ochoa did authorized the Atimonan opn [ he denies it] still there’s a lot of explaining to do, for one: why not in uniforms in that check point? two: why not only cops but Army soldiers [approved by AFP Chief of Staff?]; three: incredible ‘Check Point(s)’ it looks more like ‘Killing Points!’;
fifth: why ‘so many unnecessary Intelligence officers & men’ at Check Points? atbpa.
So many bad killings on ‘check points’ by PNP cops…rem’ber the one at Araneta Ave near the area to Bonifacio Ave…, a ‘blue car’ was fired upon because it was only blue? without hesitation, NO PLATE designation, rat-ratting & killing a young girl and her father..if I rem’ber right, the two were to attend a wedding on that day? What happened as to investigation to this incident?
With all the rules on engagements, etc., it appears PNP cannot perfectly read and follow the rule at the expense of life of the victims, ordinary citizens. What’s happening to our PNP? Inutile talaga? Bad incidents like these are FAST AND FURIOUS if not INFAMOUS!
Agree with your questions. Let me add also that they found fake IDs inside the SUV. Parang both sides may anomaly.
Either way theres no win win situation kasi on 1 hand its a PNP personnel + air force that was killed on the other hand its PNP + Army doing a shady chekpoint. :(
Masaklap lang is dinagdagan kaagad ng unverified info ng ibang media, and if people ask kanino nanggaling o sino ang nagsimula ng “Jueteng” theory i will blame oscar cruz., nagpa media interview pa :(
@leona, they r not inutile; they have the syndrome of what are we power for.
i mean “what are we in power for”
@davide…the ‘quote’ is originally for the lawmakers and was uttered by a high ranking lawmaker, etc. but ‘was’ not for cops and law enforcers. But if it is now ‘crawling’ down to them, the question of that good assemblyman Emmanuel Pelaez applies: ‘General, what’s happening to our country?’ after he was ambushed by assassins out to get him. His driver was killed.
What’s happening to our country, folks?
Many of this incident will be happening very soon, election time na! More guns cracking! Whether at ‘check or killing’ points or not.

You cant ask a party to make a stand if your own party (UNA) “NEVER” made a stand against important bills (sin tax and RH bill). Sa aking opinyon wala kayong kredibilidad to ask others since namamangka kayo sa dalawang ilog.
Mabuti pa yung NPC at LP na nagpahayag ng suporta sa RH bago mag botohan at least this coming election everyone is informed where this party stands on certain issues like RH bill, hindi na mangangapa sa dilim ang mga botante.

Natawa talaga ako sa sagot ni sixto brillantes jr. sa article from ABS :)
Sen. Jinggoy should not lawyer or explain things on the issue for JPE, the latter is a seasoned lawyer and he can explain the whole thing. Sen. Jinggoy did not explain why four senators were not treated like the others. They don’t need those equipments for office uses or they need no table, chair or what not?
If these senators, all of them, have any shame left, they should all return that money to the Treasury or back to the Senate officially. Mabuti pa ibinigay sa mga victims ng PABLO typhoon, atbpa! JPE says “gifts” so, since the money are gifts then to these typhoon victims AND NOT TO NOT NON-VICTIMS IN THE SENATE !

Japan pursues diplomatic offensive in Philippines visit
News›Asia
PHILIPPINES
Raissa Robles in Manila
A two-day visit by Japan’s foreign minister to the Philippines appears to be part of a well-coordinated diplomatic offensive by Tokyo to strengthen ties with other Asian countries amid tensions with China.
Fumio Kishida’s meetings yesterday with President Benigno Aquino and Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario, comes as both countries are engaged with separate maritime disputes with Beijing.
Kishida’s mission to Manila follows a recent trip by Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso to Myanmar, a close economic partner of China, with pledges to waive debt and extend new loans. Kishida will also visit Singapore, Brunei and Australia.
Next week, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will make his first overseas trip since winning office to Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand. Japan’s top government spokesman said it was not aimed at counter-balancing China’s influence in the region.
“China is an important country for Japan,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said, stressing the strategic nature of Japan’s bilateral ties with the world’s second largest economy.
But Beijing may view such diplomatic overtures with suspicion, considering what emerged from Kishida’s Manila meetings.
There were pledges for loans on a railway project that would extend Metro Manila’s urban railway to outlying provinces and the construction of a new airport on the resort island of Bohol.
But Tokyo’s offer of 10 patrol vessels and a communications system to boost the under-equipped Philippine coastguard is strategically, and politically, the most significant.
China and the Philippines have been engaged in a diplomatic row over rival claims to parts of the strategic and oil-rich South China Sea, almost all of which is claimed by China through its controversial nine-dash line.
Two of the hot spots are the Spratly Islands and Scarborough Shoal, which is known as Huangyan Island in China. Earlier this week, del Rosario said Manila asked Beijing to explain the recent deployment of Chinese patrol vessels to the region.
“We all understand the incursions being made by China in terms of the nine-dash line. For example, they do pose a threat to the stability of the region and we need to be able to address the possibility that freedom of navigation will be adversely impacted,” del Rosario said yesterday.
Kishida, without mentioning China, said the Philippines and Japan needed to boost their ties to help ensure peace.
“As the strategic environment in the region is changing, it is necessary for us as foreign ministers to share recognition of the situation, enhance the strategic partnership and cooperate towards shaping a peaceful and prosperous Asia-Pacific region,” he said.

Thank you, Leona.
Much appreciated.
I have a confession to make.
IF and WHEN China’s annexation of the country materializes, it would be the death of Philippine “democracy”.
I have already prepared an epitaph to be erected atop its tomb:
“PHILIPPINE DEMOCRACY
(Killed by an electorate’s immaturity & PFHs)”
Electorate’s immaturity:
• Election to the Senate of actors and comedians; preference should have been given to engineers who are trained to build infrastructures like bridges, etc; educators who know the defects of the country’s educational system so they can legislate to remedy them; technocrats who favor the building of large industries like nickel-smelting plants (in 2011, the Philippines produced 230,000 metric tonnes of nickel ore, 2nd only to Russia’s 280,000 metric tonnes) for selling to the world processed nickel instead of ore, etc,
http://www.mapsofworld.com/minerals/world-nickel-producers.html
• Proliferation in the country of political dynasty in almost every region,
• Election of national leaders who are more guided by their faith making them more beholden to the clergy than to the people who elected them,
• Election of greedy leaders who are more interested in scamming the national treasury, e.g. , (if these are to be believed), fertilizer scam, bridge-construction scam, etc, and plundering of the national patrimony (illegal logging that already denuded a large part of our forest cover, indiscriminate/illegal mining that pollute the rivers and farmers’ irrigation systems that irrigate their ricefields), etc,
• Election of national/local officials who have twisted ideas about “rule of law” (e.g., Cebu’s Gov. Garcia’s case which is being supported by Binay-Enrile-Estrada faction [BEE] tandem) thus eroding democracy’s foundations/institutions. [If my information is correct, Gov. Garcia’s case has been reviewed by the late DILG Sec. Jesse Robredo and had recommended for filing it before the Ombudsman shortly before he died. To me, Garcia’s action is brazen disrespect of the true “rule of law”; what kind of role-modeling is she trying to hand down to the younger generation?],
• blind loyalty to political idols/celebraties, no matter how universally disgraced they were/are (classic case is Marcos and family: after looting the national treasury of Php 10 billion, they have slowly crept back to power. Another classic case is impeached Pres. Estrada who is regaining his lost limelight and may, depending on the intelligence of Manila voters, soon be the next Mayor of Manila after the May, 2013 elections.
PFHs (Pernicious Filipino Habits):
I have already cited a number of them in my previous posts in this blog; this time, let me add a new one:
“Sense of entitlement” (SE) – this is a twin of PFH “bantay-salakay” (guarding-stealing).
Just last week, a video was aired on TFC Channel showing a group of PNP officers grabbing for their own use confiscated illegal firecrackers. What I found it striking was their great joy in doing it.
In ending the hunt to recover the Php 10 billion Marcos loot after being able to get back only Php 4 billion, Andres Bautista, Pnoy’s PCGG head, has said: ” “These accusations (against the commission officials) are not without basis. They were the ones in charge of guarding the chicken coop and some of them helped themselves to the eggs,” he said, refusing to name names.”
http://news.ph.msn.com/regional/philippines-set-to-quit-marcos-wealth-chase
Some government officials are so corruptly hardened as not to be trusted at all to guard any “chicken coop.”
Coming back to the annexation scenario: If and when this happens, all of the above will surely be straightened out, including addiction to “sabong” (cockfighting), “jueteng” (a numbers’ game), drugs, balikbayan box sending, and, (what do you think?), even perhaps “teleserye” watching.
Everyone will be wearing Mao suit, using the bicycle to move around from home to place of work and working the commune’s land to produce food with ABSOLUTELY NO exception, perhaps side by side with the showbiz personalities, priests and the bishops. Any dissenter can always be lined up before a firing squad. According to what I know, there is no CHR in China.
I once read one article during Mao Tse-tung’s time which said: “100 million Chinese is an insignificant number compared to 900 million others.” Their population then was only 1 billion; it has now climbed to 1.2 billion.
The only drawback when annexation happens: we’ll all become second-class citizens in our own native land. Perhaps, we deserve it because when we were given the chance to manage our own affairs, we abused the system.
thisis the modern world we live in. Philippines can never be a tutelage of Chinese. China doesn’t want to jeopardize their economic might over Philippines. McKinley have had sleepless nights and headaches with Filipinos. THE CHINESE JUST TESTING THE WORLD WHO’D BLINK FIRST. Even if we blink, they’d never do such foolishness.
Mighty Japan huff and puff over string of kurile islands when Russia is not mighty anymore.
@fed_up…that epitaph will win in the Guiness Longest Book of Epitaph! We can use the letters as a bridge to China! hahaha…joke only. Thanks. Less power to your omen. I’m frightened!
Cartographic documents produced by Chiense officials shows Paracel Islands were in their map in the 13th century during Ming Dynasty. According to Chinese official they could also have claimed Philippines as theirs because in 1574 Limahong marauders had Ilocos wastheir vassal state but they’d rather have one island at a time.
Cloma just recently discovered Spratleys fo the Philippines in 1947.
So which one is to be believed? and follow?
PHilippines is more than a thousand nautical miles from Spain yet American has to pay Spain to acquire Philippines including its inhabitants. This is the argument of the Chinese. As to Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan’s claim? Japan gave up paracel to Chinese when they lost the World Wide War II.
I’ll have Boris Pasternak to decide …
Geographical distance is not a basis for ownership, neither are historical documents. Possession and/or administration of a contested territory are good bases. But the best way to resolve this is not to wave documents and shout but to present all these claims to an INTERNATIONAL COURT SET UP FOR THE PURPOSE (international tribunal on the law of the sea). The Philippines wants to; China consistently refuses to do so with us. Ironically, it is willing to do this in its island controversy with Japan. Double standard?
Meriam has to recuse herself if this were to be brought to international court.
I do not want Meriam to excuse herself. I want to see her behaviour if it is up to international standard.
Except that you’re talking of the wrong court, Miriam is going to the International Criminal Court.
…what @Mariano meant was ICJ or ICC, he wrote only “international court.” Kulang ng isang letra.
Meriam to ICC, this Court will have jurisdiction when China attacks PN tug boats that are ‘cut up’ no cannons and ammo. To attack will be criminal already in nature.
Sen. Meriam will not inhibit or excuse herself when China is accused for a crime before the ICC. The reason is: if she had her way she will wage war against China! Now if China is accused in the ICC, she’ll wage for a conviction against China! What’s the sentence she’ll campaign for with the other Judges?
…this is it…JUDGEMENT: Wherefore, all members of the Chinese Polit-buro [ not the Kapampangan delicacy here!] 2 million plus are hereby EXILED to Panatag Shoals and the LIBERAL PARTY OF PRES. AQUINO and his gang to GOVERN CHINA AND THE CHINESE PEOPLE. [PNoy is Chinese “Co Uang Co…mother side]. So ORDERED.” Signed: Judge Meriam [ ponente]. We CONCUR: ___ ___ ___ ___ ___.
The Chinese people will be very happy with PNoy as their new president! Another kung fat tsoy for them!
This is just imagination….in the mind of…?
Did you notice the whole Chinese Sea and all its reefs are Chinese according Google Earth, did Eric E. Schmidt make a stop-over in China on his trip to North Korea?
China’s claim that the entire China sea is theirs based on their names.
We can also say that Mariano Pacific(o) owns the entire pacific following the same logic.
But I rather be under the Chinese rulers rather than the latter-we might be under Caligula and don’t want tobe sodomised:-)
LOL!
HAHA
…walang tawa ako dyan…. …. …
HAHAHA!
galing mo at tama ka dyan.
I AM SOOO DEPRESSED. Not goot. Bad news. I found out I have 5 passports in 5 different countries. I confronted my parents if they were some kind of sleeper spooks. I looked at Mama closely. She does look like Ana Chapman.
Parent: “Son, you were born in 5 countries”
Son: “Huh? That is phyusically impossible! A child can only be born in one country UNLESS HE IS GOD”
Parent: “You are not God”. He looked down on the dirt we were standing on, he continued, “Seriously, Frankly, you belong to 5 countries”
Son: “Papa, you’ve been reading Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Johnny Walker and Stolichnaya aren’t you?”
Parent: “You were born in Paracel Islands. Filipinos call it Kalayan, Vietnamese call it something else, Chinese claimed it as theirs back in the Ming Dynasty, Taiwan also so does Malaysia”
I walked away confused.
I went to Philippine Airlines ask for a flight to Spratleys. PAL referred me to Philippines’ Homeland Security. Homeland said I cannot go to Spratleys because it cannot sustain life. The only wildlife in Spratleys are 40 Filipinos lost at sea.
Why in the heck! I cannot even charter a flight to Spratleys. I flagged water pumpboat they did not even want to go near Spratleys.
…sail on the PN Hamilton clutter boat, all yours, on the house by Navy! P.S. -don’t forget to wear ten life-jackets as you will meet Chinese gun boats, be pepperd like a boinggoot!
Remarkable
(1) You have parents?
(2) They run a business making documents? Are they based in Recto, I presume?
Americans are withdrawing from Iraq, Afghanistan and hotspot because of their Fiscal Cliff, whereas, Filipinos are spending crazy over useless indian pana.
Japan Prime Minister is ordering his Central bank to study how to devalue their yen to stimulate their export, whereas, Filipinos are waving their strong currency that killed their export.
WHATEVER RIGHT FOREIGN COUNTRIES DO, Filipinos do it in reverse.
VIVA FILIPINOS !!!! ANG INTELLIHENTE TALAGA N’YO !!!!!

Did SWS consulted the Filipino people that they wanted to go to war with china and spend gazillions of OFW dollars to buy useless pieces of Coat Guard clutters?
I bet ya SWS did not. They are just promoting the persona of benign0 Aquino.
Is this what the Filipinos really want ? WAR?
Gazillions to stimulate Japan and American economy over malnourished hungry Filipinos ?
STOP THIS PA-BILIB. Send Manny Pacquiao for the 5th round to UNIFY THE FILIPNOS.
the best venue for Manny Pacman fight with marques is none other than Shanghai China,in this manner, China Pres will think twice attacking Phillipines is a waste of time, they will be lost in the long run he he he he mahaba tiniis ng mga vietcong, lalo namang matiisin mga pinoy, mauubos sila sa mga NPA kaatake sa kanila by surprise, lalabas ulit yun mga Bonifacio he he he
HA! HA! HA! Goot one! Goot one! I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU.
The 5th Pacquiao vs Marquez should be done in …. where else …. C-H-I-N-A !!!!
Filipinos, Cabinet ministers, congressmen and Presidents all go to Vegas when Manny Pacquiao fights. If FIGHT IS DONE IN CHINA, All the Filipinos would go to China. Right?
That will be a total INVASION OF CHINA. NO SHOTS FIRED !!!!
MANNY PACQUIAO win or lose WILL BECOME A HERO. It will go down in Guiness Book of Records the first country ever invaded by Filipinos. David vs Golyat !!!
Weeeee !!!! HAWR! HAWR! HAWR!
it’s detailed right here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYGCUqKu0GA
…Maybe we can beat China: Our Senate and Lower House can create 5 additional provinces with 1 Congressional District each in these disputed islands. China got only an ancient map to their claim while we have a LAW to our claim!
Kaya natin ito! Anong say mo Lois IVforte?

My father told me that in the Philippines everyone has to have ROTC in college. He said they were to carry WHITE HANDKERCHIEF neatly folded in their fatigue uniform.
My father asked the platoon commander why they have to carry WHITE HANDERKERCHIEF. The platoon commander said it is for life.
Father: “What?
Platton Commander: “White handerkerchief is for you to wave surrender. It saves life more than your garand”
ROTC is the worst subject in college, bro CS (Cultured Shock both in US and Pinoy) MRP, parade resting in the mid of the Sun, white hanky chief turned gray, everyone was furious and hungry, it is not far away from frat punishment he he he, did i learned? See how were your Papa’s developement, great…
@macspeed…you learned ROTC? 11 General Orders? Weight of Garand rifle? [Armalite na pala!] Tanghal Ta! hahaha…password? ‘di mo ako kilala?…

whites doesnt have CPM…
@macspeed 6.1
It made me cringe everytime I saw stacks and stacks Glutathione the skin whitening soap. Why in hell Pinays want their skin to be white whereas American women want theirs to be tan.
Pinays instead must be thankful that they’re endowed with fair colored skin where American women are so obsessed to have like ours.
We might as well call our women “albinas”
Pilipinas are beauty conscious, hence sa Pinas lang maraming Parlor he he he grabee kung alam lang ng mga naglalagay ng whitening cream, na hinahabol ng mga whites ang skin natin, siguro hihina ang beauty industry he he he, intsik din may dala nya sa Pinas kaya malabo tayong girahen, kasi narito businesses nila sa Pinas, yun mga product nila sa labas ng china tulad sa Saudi maga pinoy din nabile he he he he
@macspeed
You’re darn right, see what happened at the recent Miss Universe pageant. we claimed that Ms Janine Tagonon should be the Ms Universe Not the Ms USA
It only shows two things;
1. Pinays are more beautiful and intelligent
2. We cannot accept judges decision
JAPAN HAS CLAIM TO THESE ROCK OUTCROPPINGS IN CHINA SEA.
What game is Japan playing ? What is the role of Filipinos ? Is Japan into proxy war against China using “willing” Filipinos ? How sure is Japan Filipinos can defeat China ? With the intelligence of Japan than Filipnios, I bet you, Japan already knows Filipinos cannot beat China, but why arm Philippines ?
SOMETHING IS TOTALLY NOT RIGHT! SOMETHING IS ABSOLUTELY WRONG! Could it be Japan wants the Filipnios annhilated by the Chinese ?
We will soon find out. BUT HERE IS ONE FOR SURE, Filipinos are just farting hot air THAT IS ALL THERE IS TO IT.
They couldn’t even defeat the Spaniards for 400 years …
Couldn’t defeat the Americans for 50 years …
Couldn’t defeat the Japanese for 5 years …
HOW MUCH MORE CHINA ?
Stop pulling my legs, Filipinos. MAGPAHINGA KAYO. PUNTA KAYO SA PANSITAN. Stop this braggadicio. YOU ARE ONLY GOOT IN ENGLSICHTZES.
Has anyone noticed in the U.N. ONLY FILIPINOS DO NOT BRING WITH THEM AN ARMY OF ITNERPRETERS. Japan, Korea, Vietnam and other 1stworld country bring with them INTERPRETERS. Filipinos do not even vote a Philippine president if cannot speak englischtzes.
WHAT IS WITH ENGLSICHTZES ANYWAYS? Can it defeat China ?
Yeah, spoken englist can defeat china, off course, in the long run he he he Freedo does come-in handy after a generation perhaps, but Filipinos never surrender he he he makukulit tatayo at lalaban pa ring.
Pero wag na bumili nyang mga pusila pusila, sayang lang pera jan, kung ibinibigay na libre wag na tanggapin, perahin na lang, gagastos pa sa maintenance ng mga yun.

I bet if we sent you to the contested islands China would think twice about attacking. They’d have to spend a fortune on headache pills and earplugs
HA! HA! HA! CHINESE will chop me up into chop-suey
Chinese News Alert!
Chinese authorities are now monitoring their websites and blog sites. They are worried that the Filipinos have unknowingly created a potent internet virus. This virus may create havoc in their web community. They are also worried that this virus might infect their bloggers, their physicists, their military strategists, and their Politburo, thereby undermining plans for the invasion of the Spratlys. The effect of the virus is to lower the IQ of the infected, hovering to the lower 50’s.
Chinese Cyber agents scoured the internet and found Raissa’s blog. They found the cure but they need to take the actual documents to replicate the vaccine. A Chinese spy was sent to the Philippines.
He looked at the map, confirmed that this is the correct house. He broke into this house. He moved like a Ninja and directly wet to a disorganized office. The Doors song was playing, the room was clouded with thick smoke and a strong scent of cannabis made the spy’s slanted eyes even more shut. Squinting, the spy saw old photos pinned on the walls of a soldier’s Vietnam tours. One of the photos showed a guy with a helmet grinning, holding a corpse of a Vietcong, while his buddies were herding a terrorized peasant family towards a truck. The spy continued his search and found the laptop. He opened and searched for files. He browsed the folders, first under the title, “Raissa”, then onto “The Society of Honor”. He found the file named ASKAL and his eyes widened and satisfied that he found the formula for the vaccine!
Then, Bam! Bam! Gang! Nam! Bang! Joe with a red bandana wrapped around his forehead, red blood shut eyes and reloading his old reliable 45mm. He drew out a bayonet, carved a message on the dead spy’s forehead “USA”, and yelled, “That’s for my buddies in Vietnam, MotherF**ker !”
Meanwhile another team of spies were sent to Ivan Pavlov’s ancestral house in Central Russia.
The search for the vaccine of The Mariano Pacifico Virus continues…
Hmmm. You were inspired :-)
@Raissa
Might have sent the spy into your bedroom, but I did not want to share the imagery where you were observed in an intimate activity with Alan :-)
right, contaminated by CS MRP he he eh
Philippines is girding for war against behemoth China who has claims against 3rd rock from Mars so is Japan.
Japan arming Philippines because Japanese thought the Hamilton-class Coast Guard Clutter is armed-less harm-less. Japanese wanted to convert this Coast Guard Clutter into Passenger Ship instead because this is absolutely useless against China.
Once we have vanquish China, WHO WILL PROTECT US AGAINST JAPAN who also has claim on these 2 rock outcroppings in China Sea ?
These deeply discounted “state-of-the-art” battleships were unsold left-over of after Christmas sale.
I LIKE.Congrats on these two latest stories about PHL and Japan,
certainly of national, regional, and international security significance.
The western world is watching.
It happened as reported in China…
Here’s the link:

Wow Philippines will have Japanese made trains? I hope this push through pati na yung 10 coast guard ships :)
We are now in league with Siera Leone and Congo and Pyongyang.
Buying military arsenals while their children go hungry. TYPICAL 3rdworld mentality run by virtual dictators.
ATTENTION TO ALL PERCEIVED GHOST INVADERS OF PHILIPPINES: We do not have natural resources. IF WE HAVE HAD NATURAL RESOURCES Filipinos could have exploited it. BUT WE DID NOT because we do not have natural resources.
So, Stay Away. The only NATURAL RESOURCES available are OFWs. We breed children like rabbits and train them to be exported as slaves.
Catsup anyone ?
Abraham was not able to make baby with his wife Sarah who was already in 90years of ages. Then Abraham made love to his DH (domestic Helper) an Egyptian woman named Hajjar, he got his first born Ismail, when Ismail was 14 years of ages Sarah became pregrant with the grace of Allah, to avoid the jealousy, Abraham was advice by Allah to bring his Bond woman Hajjar to Bacca which is now Mecca, Abraham question the Lord Almighty, why here? This is dessert, hot, no life, God said, Abraham, i will make Ismail and this place a great nation…
That promised is fulifilled, many nations are depending on the oil beneath Saudi Arabia, they called it Ghawar, you can use google power he he he
I embrace Islam in 1992 and my Islamic name is Ismael he he he, because i am first born to my mother he he he and i grew up so in love with catsup
for all my food, even if it pansit, i put ketsup on it.
Last week, there was a special offer of American garden 500ml ketsup with free mustard sauce he he he, it is now halves just after one week.
By the way, banana ketsup taste better than papa ketsup he he he
@Macspeed, with all seriousness, are you really? …… A …. covnert …. to Muslim ?
What made you? I’m just curious because I am not religious.
I read the Al Qur-an Al Kareen in englits version, 114 chapters,, all the same contents with the Bible except for one, Issa or Jesus was not crucified….
from that descripancy, i embraced Islam. Jesus was created by God thru Virgin Mary, by saying simple word “Be”, when Jesus asked the Father in Getsemane for his salvation from death, God immediately bring him up to His Kingdom, hence it is not true that our sins are forgiven by the death of Jesus Christ in the cross.
Do you believe that your sins are forgiven by God, because Jesus died for you in the cross??? I dont think so,
We will be judge according to the records we did, it is like microsoft database where-in the least athe the biggest sins are listed, such as masturbation, doing surfing while in the work, covet thy friends wife, stealing speeches from someone dead, he he he, not even a sin as tiny as the molecule will be left un-accounted.
You better be a believer of the Creator, even if not in Islam or Christianity, so long as you believe that there is God and the Judgent day and you fear to do big sins, like killing, adultery, cuncubinage, murder, rape etc, you may be allowed to enter Paradise…
Hmmmmmm …. so am I … I am totally against sins be forgiven. I want sins punished.
My parents told me when I was born I was given 100 merits by God. Everytime I sin, I demerits. My parents said I OWE A LOT TO GOD BECAUSE I HAVE SINNED SO MUCH. My parents further said that I WILL HAVE TO LIVE LONGER TO PAY FOR MY SINS ….
NO WONDER GOOT GUYS DIES YOUNG because they do not owe God to pay off their demerits.
@Mariano…did you hear that Catsup was first introduce by Heinz Catsup in 1887 as medicine for a certain disease? Google! hahaha….no kidding!

Hooooray !!!! Saudi Arabianese owns the land. Foreigners exploit it for them. All Saudis have to do is play with their harems of chicks, sip kerosene, drink diesel and gasoline. This is what is going to happen to us Filipinos once we have the Spratleys Island (International name).
Spratleys is aptly entitled Kalaya-an in Filipino dialect it is called HOPE. Spratleys is the HOPE of the nation. But I doubt if Philippine Gov allows drilling in Kalaya-an. Because Filipnios are bunch of irresponsible environmentalists eco-friendlies.
he he he tulog na ako tol, may hataw pa ako bukas, Friday is equivalent to Sunday in real life he he he good nite sweet dreams to me, thanks to Raissa for making me happy meeting people like you @MRP he he he healed!!! by me…

@baycas………I would like to learn how to post news items and videos like you do. Can you please direct me to some how-to-do-it materials on the internet. or should I come to Manila for some tutorials? My contact/conduit is [email protected]. I only use this e-mail address for very limited special purposes. Thank you. Buddy.
Sir, you will notice that most of the time I just copy the full web address (URL) from the web address bar on top of a web page and paste this URL into the comment box.
It will be cinch if you’re using a PC or Mac with a mouse because:
(1) Left-click on the web address bar, the full web address will automatically be highlighted
(2) Right-click to copy
(3) Paste onto the comment box
I don’t copy-paste an entire article, just an excerpt. Fair use will allow re-posting even if article is copyrighted. Insert some original words so the excerpt will form part of your comment.
I usually enclose the excerpt in between blockquote HTML tags…wherein the word “blockquote” is enclosed in between to start the citation and “/blockquote” is enclosed in between to end the citation.
For example:
(blockquote)Mary had a little lamb.(/blockquote)
Please change the parentheses into “less than” ( to open) and “more than” (to close) signs.
What I meant…
I usually enclose the excerpt in between blockquote HTML tags…wherein the word “blockquote” is enclosed in between “less than” and “more than” signs to start the citation and “/blockquote” is enclosed in between “less than” and “more than” signs to end the citation.
(The HTML tags and attributes are shown at the bottom of the comment box where we edit our comments.)
It will appear…
Oops, supposed to be “Mary”…
Thanks for the tutorial, boss.
@tristanism,
You’re most welcome.
As to the YouTube videos…
Just click on the “Share button over the video window then “eMail“. Don’t proceed to mail the URL but just copy-paste the URL into the comment box.
Make the URL stand alone in the comment box in order not to pass through the “moderation” phase. After pressing the “Submit” button the video window will automatically appear as your comment.
Tutorial on videos under way but an example will appear like this next comment…

Oh, @Buddy, I failed to mention that you need to open two or more tabs/windows to accomplish the copy-pastings…
Always a raissaroblesdotcom tab or window open to receive comments and one or several websites open from where to gather news items and URLs.
Another thing, watch out for sottoisms (inadvertent plagiarism) or sottonisms (deliberate plagiarism).
Maraming salamat…..especially the last one re: opening of two or more tabs….I will attempt….I will practice….and I may even ask my teen aged dalagita to help out…..much appreciated, baycas…..
@Buddy,
Glad to be of help. You’re welcome!
