Pinagmamasdan ko pa lamang ito at hinihimas, napakakinis lahat ng mga titik at letra ay kumikislap, Naiwanan ko na iyung aso ko sa bakuran dahil kagagaling ko pa lamang sa Dog Park pag uwi ko may nakaparadang Van ng DHL… Aha Eto na nasulit lahat kahit malaki ang bayad sa shipping napasakamay ko naman ang aking pinaka a-asam asam. hehehe. this is BIG, ang laki pala neto Ito na ang pinakamalaking libro na aking mababasa, pag biniyak mo ito sa gitna ang kalahati ay kasing laki ng libro ng Noli at Fili. Paano ko kaya sisimulang basahin ang mga ito? sa isip ko h’wag akong lulundag agad agad dapat paupo ba patayo patagilid o pahiga a basta kahit paano basta nakamulat ang mga mata. Sa mga kababayan dapat mabasa ng buong Filipino saan man kayo nakatira dahil sa librong ito malalaman ninyo ang tunay na katotohanan…sige na hanggang ditto nalamang ako at magbabasa pa ako…

  4. @leona,

    PEDAL DELAY

    The darkness led me back awhile here…

    I immediately ‘pedaled’ my return, albeit temporarily, learning the…

    3ARTH HOURs at the NAIA…

    Yesterday, airport authorities were heard saying that supporting the “Terminal 3arth Hour” was the reason of the power outage. They purposely didn’t use the fuel-powered generator sets to give way to the pedal-powered ‘dynamo’…

    It’s just that the bicycles (and bikers!) didn’t arrive on time…

    They flew their way to the airport but their arrival landing was put on hold because of the…

    BLACKOUT.

    Such utter darkness…

    • Reklamo ni Binay,

      O, baka ako na naman ang papatamaan nyan dahil nabaggit ang darkness…

      :)

      @baycas,

    • They did save energy so they could use that yesterday during the senate hearing….the longer it took the more people were starting to put on sweaters, jackets even drawing towels over their shoulders…ridiculous cold at the senate…saving energy…puh…. :-(

    • Do not ask from general mgr NAIA et. al. about the 5 hour UTTER DARKNESS. . . kasi they don’t know what happen’!

      Utter Darkness din yun sagot nila. . . ‘WHAT REALLY HAPPENED’?

      Dapat mag PAJAMA ang suot nya when reporting to his Office! Tutulog. Does he ever carry with him a FLASHLIGHT when at work? Wala yata.

      Sana nandoon si PNoy during that 5 HRS uttermost darkness. . . sigaw ni Presidente – ‘ONRA! LINTIK KA!

  5. In the latest surveys by SWS, PA, 7-11, MBC-DZRH and Laylo Research Strategies, Duterte made significant gains. In a survey conducted by Laylo very recently on March 26 to April 1, Duterte added six percentage points in his score to top the survey at 30%, while Poe took second place at 27%.

    http://www.rappler.com/nation/politics/elections/2016/128338-rodrigo-duterte-rises-laylo-poll-march-april

    With the recent developments in the political milieu particularly in Cebu and elsewhere, I believe that the Duterte juggernaut will peak on Election Day for a landslide win.

    On March 26 my wife and I had a lengthy conversation with Ludy, an OFW for 20 years in Hongkong. She remains single to date and has supported her 11 younger siblings in Sorsogon. She could not vote in May because she did not vote in the last two elections. But she assured that the eight registered voters in her family would all vote for Duterte and Robredo. Ludy said that all her OFW friends in Hongkong and their respective family would vote for Duterte whom they believe has the political will to effect significant changes in our country.

      • When it rains, it pours.

        One Cebu endorses Duterte.
        Pope Francis offers prayers and grants blessings to Duterte.
        Duterte topped Standard-LRS survey.
        Toledo, Cebu stages huge rally for Duterte.
        Hongkong Statue Square rally shows overwhelming OFW support for Duterte.

        • hindi kaya photoshopped din yong letter from the Vatican?

          granted it’s real, coming from a holy place, it can only come with the standard words of blessings, etc.
          but the writer does not even probably realize who he is writing o.

        • the protocol is that: there is a template para sa kung anong intention prayers or any relevant religious, social or events. iyong papalitan lang ng pangalan at may perma sa ibaba. kagaya ng 50th wedding anniversary ng aking parents-in-law mayroong silang blessings from Pope Francis.

          mabuti nga kung may prayers from the Pope para LUMAYAS ang evil spirit sa katauhan ni du30. para integridad sa integridad ang laban come 09 may 2016

        • The Pope wishes Duterte the “blessings of peace and wisdom”…

          sounds to me like a nice way of saying be less stupid and aggressive.

          I am more familar with diplomaticspeak than Vaticanspeak but it could well be.

          After all the Catholic Church has 2 millenia of experience in dealing with barbarians.

          I wonder how often they wished blessings of peace and wisdom on uncouth Goths etc.

      Nakakatakot ang hinaharap kung si Duterte ang mananalong Presidente. Hindi pa siya nananalo, kakaibang ugali na ang naipasa nia sa kanyang mga taga-hangang walang kamalay-malay. Ang bigat na ng puso ko sa lahat ng kasinungalingang binabato kay Roxas. Wala man lang nagsisikap pag-aralan ang totoong karanasan ng mga kandidato at ang kanilang plataporma. Hanggang ngayon, wala pa rin akong nakikitang kongkretong plataporma mula kay Duterte, pero mukhang siya ang magwawagi. Simpleng meme at photoshop at kwentong kutsero lamang, iboboto na nila si Duterte. Hinuhukay natin ang sarili nating mga libingan. God save the Philippines

      • @wbar totoo itong pinost nyo po. ngayon ang latest ay SC: it’s final poe can run. another hukay para sa ating constitution

      • keep the faith fellow Filipinos who love our country!

        Duterte supporters are simply loud, harsh and rude and know how to twist facts…

        The silent majority are thinking Filipino voters who will make Roxas our next President and Robredo our Vice President.

        God loves our country so much to bring us another disastrous six years!!!!

        • “Duterte supporters are simply loud, harsh and rude and know how to twist facts…”

          Chit, I am a Duterte supporter. I may be loud, harsh and rude IAW with your subjective standards. But twisting facts could be shown through empirical or observable evidence. For the sake of discussion, please enumerate facts which I twisted according to you so I could make corrections if necessary.

        • I was not singling you out @rene-ipil.

          One fact twisted – the photoshopped picture of the supposedly nurse working in Canada re Yolanda relief assistance… (I am sure you know what I am talking about).

          The fact that Davao City is #1 or among the safest city in the world – which website can we see that? The facts on crime statistics from PNP show that Davao City has the worst crime index.

          The photoshopped picture of His Holiness Pope Francis supposedly endorsing Duterte. I think that picture is now withdrawn from circulation.

          The photoshopped picture of Mar Roxas in HK rally with “words” put in his mounth…

          The recent farmers rally in Kidapawan, Cotabato.

          and many more….

        • “The fact that Davao City is #1 or among the safest city in the world – which website can we see that? The facts on crime statistics from PNP show that Davao City has the worst crime index.”

          I involved myself in the above aspects. Let’s see whether I twisted facts.

          Number.com cited Davao City as among the safest city in the world. EIU also used Numbeo.com data in its report on personal safety index.

          As to the PNP crime statistics, please see my explanation why Davao City is second least dangerous to QC among the the top ten cities with highest number of index crimes. The average monthly crime rate using index crimes shows that QC had the lowest AMCR at 33 while Davao City was second with AMCR of 36.

          Maybe you can prove me wrong if my formula and computations are erroneous.

        • @Rene-Ipil. In quoting the Numbeo survey you are really clutching at straws.
          Numbeo is too easy to rig.

      • “mga taga-hangang walang kamalay-malay.”

        The most educated and sophisticated socioeconomic class ABC prefers Duterte as president.

        • Agree that Duterte is strong among ABC, as posted previously partly as a result of SC decision on Poe. This group believes he’s the answer to their frustration on corruption, rising violent crimes and drug dealings.our latest problem is becoming to be labeled as money launderers haven.

          to beat Poe by counteracting her hold on D&E group, Duterte must capture 35-40% of ABC group. Duterte will not beat Poe in Luzon while Poe will not lose her 20-25% of Mindanao votes. FPJ is a folk hero too in Mindanao just like Digong.

          Third debate is crucial for Duterte maintaining her charisma in his answers to attract more votes. Poe is the horse to beat. The dark one galloping fast is not Binay, it’s Duterte. Whether he will beat Grace by a the tip of his nose is difficult task but achievable if he gets INC votes.

          Likewise Robredo has to keep herself visible in print TV and radio media to keep rising. She has to go around school campuses and followers be active on social media promoting her qualities and capabilities. Roxas is the most qualified and deserving yet he will not win because of bad luck happening to Aquino administration and misperceptions causing his “hard sell” persona. bringing us to the 5% “undecided” who might tilt the scale between Poe and Duterte. These undecided problem is really about Roxas, thinking this way “shall I vote for a loser or just be a winner regardless”. Mar has to onvince this group and garner a gargantuan percentage of OFW votes to be a winner. Such is his formidable task!

        • Even 100% of groups ABC is a drop in the ocean when it comes to winning the election.
