In a world where a blogger’s social status is determined by the number of visitors, readers, and blog earnings, I am not so surprised to see that NXE’s Fifty Most Influential Bloggers had quickly become the talk of many blog posts throughout the whole blogosphere.

The said blog post features the top 50 bloggers along with descriptions on why and how they have influenced the blogosphere. I browsed through the whole list and found the list to be well thought out and researched (Though I dare say that I have a slight problem with the other spots, but it’s fine).

Some of my frequent reads have managed to get themselves into the list like Brian Clark of CopyBlogger, Jeremy Schoemaker of ShoeMoney, and Darren Rowse from Problogger.net. And thanks to the list, I have also found some great reads like Eli from BlueHatSEO, Guy Kawasaki of How to Change the World and Sven Lennartz with Vitaly Friedman from Smashing Magazine.

But after sifting through the whole list from Top 50 to the first spot, I can’t help but ask myself, “Where are the Pinoy Bloggers?”

Akala ko si Gloria ang nagsasalita at hindi si Hillary Clinton. Pakiramdam ko nagpakulay siya nang buhok at nagpa-bleach nang kaunti para pumuti and medyo nagdagdag nang height. Kidding aside, maaari siyang maging unang babaeng presidente nang US pero di natin maikakaila may mga ilang puntos na nakadikit sa pangalan nya na di rin natin maikakaila na nangyayari dito sa bansa.

(visit www.angsawariko.blogspot.com on anti hillary clinton video)

Una, ang kanyang asawang naging sentro nang usap usapan na noong nakaupo pa ito sa posisyon na nakaakibat ang issue nang morality, at ang issue na totoo ba silang naghiwalay after nilang magkalaboan, same question nang mga unang taon ni Gloria sa posisyon totoo bang hiwalay na sila si Mike Arroyo? Pagkatabos sumambulat ang issue na ito madali ring naglaho kagaya nang kung paano nagkibit balikat na rin ang mga tao sa US sa issue ni Bill Clinton sa pleasure business niya with Monica Lewinsky who became an instant star sa US. But opposite kay FG, the giant behind the powerful woman in the country who tries to hide in his wife’s skirt, Hindi natin maiiwasan ang katanungang nasaan na si Pidal, at bakit sa bisperas nang ZTE Broadband Investigation ay para siyang langaw na mabilis umiwas sa pagbugaw nang senado papuntang Hongkong.

Pangalawa, sa issue ang opinsiba sa terosismo, kung Iraq ang issue sa US na kung saan isa si Hillary sa pagbibigay nang kapangyarihan kay George Bush Jr. sa opinsiba nang US laban sa Iraq at ngayong tatakbo siya bilang presidente and isa sa mga plataporma niya ay harapin ang iba pang suliranin nang bansa nila maliban sa gulo sa Iraq, tila isang malaking katanungan, inaatras ba niya para sa kapakanan nang bayan niya o nang sarili niyang kapakanan para makuha niya ang suporta nang makakaliwa . Di yan malalayo sa gulong nagaganap sa Pilipinas, ilang beses at ilan taon na rin ang gulo sa Mindanao bakit hanggang ngayon hindi pa ito matapos tapos, di naman sagot ang Human Security Act na ilang buwan na ang nakakaraan na siyang nilagdaan ni Gloria, instead mas naging delikado ito sa mga taong magiging biktima nang mga tiwaling nasa pamahalaan sa panahong naiipit sila, kaakibat na rin ito sa isyu nang mga di pag sipot nang mga miyembro nang kabinete sa mga hearing, sa anong kadahilanan, dahil utos nang pangulo. Pero hindi pera nila ang siyang iimbistegahan sa mga hearing na ito kundi ang mga perang nagmumula sa buwis nang mga mamamayan na tahasang ibinubulsa at kinikick back patungo sa makakapal nilang wallet, kahit paano natapos na rin ang anim na taong moro moro sa plunder case ni Erap pero tila napakadali na rin ang pagpanukala nang pardon, dahil ba nangangamoy na rin ang 2010 at naghahanda na ang mga iilan kung paano mag amoy mabango sa paningin nang mga masa. Sa wari ko hindi reconcillation ang dapat na tawag sa mga gawaing ito kundi reconstruction nang kanilang plano, platamorma at propaganda, sana mga lang sa kapakanan nang nakakarami ito at di lang nang mga iilang makikinabang sa kaban nang bayan.

At huli, isang katanungang magagampanan ba nang isang babae ang isang posisyong titingalain nang lahat nang bansa, ang pinakamakapangyarihang pusisyon sa buong mundo at iyon ang maging presidente ang Estados Unidos. Hanggang ngayon may mga taong di pa rin tanggap ang pamamahala nang mga babae sa mga mga sangay sa lipunan dahil ang iilang ito na ang tingin nila sa babae ay emosyonal at mahina. Pero ang sa akin lang ang babae ay may pusong inang ituturing ang kanyang pamahalaan bilang isang anak na dapat alagaan at payabungin hanggang umunlad, ngunit ang ang sa akin lang din ay sa kabila nang kanyang malambot na puso at maemosyong pamamahala, may katigasan ba ang kanyang ulo at paninindigan upang itaguyod ang prinsipyo at pangangalagaan ang nangangailangang bayan at di papayag na masakupan basta basta nang mga taong uhaw sa kapangyarihan na magkukubli sa katausan nang isang asawa.

Ang sa wari ko lamang maging bukas ang mga pananaw natin sa mga nangyayari sa ating paligid bukod sa kung ano ang ikinasasaya sa ating paningin at pandinig, kung anuman ang paniniwala at relihiyon natin. Kung sa US ay abala na sila sa 2008 sana maging handa tayo sa malayo pang tatahaking 2010, di po ako tatakbo o namumulitika, ako lamang ay nagpapaalala.

The whole nation was glued to their TV monitors. Here’s a young man, no less than the son of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, speaking softly and deliberately his truth. He spoke of corruption, of bribery, and of being shocked at the audacity of the First Gentlemen and the COMELEC Chairman to bully him to withdraw from a huge government project. More importantly he spoke of his real intentions: he wants to see some reform in his lifetime or in his son’s lifetime.

In the middle of his stunning revelations, I found myself asking: why is there a seeming frenzy to bag juicy government contracts and get fat commissions quickly? I have long accepted the fact that total eradication of corruption in the Philippines is a long term goal and therefore I am open enough not to be shocked by some degree of corruption in government in the short term, but the present situation is overwhelming. Bakit parang bastusan na ito? A lot of pundits have put in their two cents worth on why there seems to be frenetic activities of corruption today. In my view, the answer might be simpler than those already advanced. Bakit tila walang patid ang mga pagnanakaw? It has been the fodder of rumor mills that Gloria and Mike are actually separated – separated de facto and that they are just waiting for the end of Gloria’s term to formalize it and live their separate (hopefully happy) lives. They have to put on the charade of a happy and intact family. Mahirap maghiwalay ngayon dahil Presidente pa si Gloria. Hindi daw maganda tingnan. Thus, there are two groups operating in Malacanang, each trying to bag separate deals for their respective principals. They know that 2010 is near and their principals need to amass their “retirement benefits”. Whereas in past administrations there was only one King and the rest of the “alipores” had to fight for the crumbs falling from the table, the separation de facto of Mike and Gloria has created a “two-king” scenario (both trying to outdo each other) at pinaghatian na ang mga kalakal ng gobyerno – kay Ma’am ito, kay Mike ito. The domestic problems of Gloria and Mike have monstrous ramifications. The breakdown of their household is threatening to breakdown the country. Yan ang haka-haka ko. Sabi nga ni pareng Occam – sa lahat ng mga sagot, ang pinakasimple at payak na sagot marahil ang tama.

Comes now the news from Colombia, where fresh-faced Dutch student Tanja Nijmeijer was revealed to be a member of Maoist rebel group FARC. Consider how apt the phrase “useful idiot” is to describe Nijmeijer, and her current crash into reality… (more)

I think one of my favorite bloggers just killed himself. I seriously hope that I’m wrong, but that last post really sounded like a suicide note.

Yesterday was just another day for the chair of the commission on elections. He woke up, looked at himself in the mirror, and said, wow, are you really that powerful or are am imagining this toothpick? It is another of the win-win situations the current administration is famous for.

I think it’s safe to say that for our comic book geek generation, Wally West is The Flash. But for all the old timers out there, I bet it’s Barry Allen all the way. I can’t really blame them because the deceased Flash was totally awesome. Observe:

Legend has it that fans had a hard time relating to The Flash and his amazing quickness, so the Flash creative team made an issue featuring a fat Flash. Fans related to the Scarlet Speedster in no time.

When I was a little girl in the seventies, I was inundated with books, TV shows, and movies from the west. I was quite a bookworm then and swallowed all the children’s classics: Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Wizard of Oz by Frank Baum, etc.. One of my favorite authors was Enid Blyton and I had a complete collection of the Famous Five series, the Adventure series, the Willow Farm series, and so on. I also devoured whole the Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, and Bobbsey Twins series. And of course, I immersed myself in all the fairy tales by the Grimm Brothers and Hans Christian Andersen.

I pity the President. After all these years of trying to recover from the Garci scandal and trying hard to keep the Philippines on track in its economic development and just when she is about to surmount the last remaining political challenges, Mike Arroyo spoils it all. I posit that the single biggest destabilizer of this government is Mike Arroyo and because he is the husband of the President, he pulls the President down with him. Mike is the cause of a lot of PGMA’s problems. Mike is a greedy moron who jumps at every opportunity to make a fast buck. Ang payo ko kay GMA – hiwalayan mo na yang si Mike Arroyo, for our good and the good of the country. Mike Arroyo is not solely PGMA’s problem (of course and by hindsight, the fact that she married Mike several years ago should have brought to fore questions of Gloria’s judgment). It is ours and now is the time for the President to act: have your marriage to Mike Arroyo annulled and bring him to the bar of justice. Being married to him does not include answering for his sins.

“Mammal.” Atheist author Christopher Hitchens drops this word into his new book god is not Great no less than 20 times (believe me, I checked), and I imagine its effect on you depends on whether you accept his premise. Either the world is purely material, or it is not. Either we can understand the world without resorting to the supernatural, or we cannot… (read more…)
