Kudos to Jon Wiener for putting history in its proper perspective.

American warmongers have opened a can of worms and exposed their skeletons in the closet in suggesting the Philippines as a model for its occupation of Iraq.

…It is somewhat annoying when it seems now that so many dead people are easily identified as leftists… do they carry ID cards that say they are? The same is true with dead journalists… were they killed because of their profession or because of something else?

What is unique and alarming in the Philippines is the growing number of environmental refugees and internally displaced persons caused by environmental disasters and armed conflict.

We are a proud nation. We produce beauty queens, boxing champs, supermaids and honest taxi drivers. But we seem to have barely noticed that we are slowly becoming a refugee nation.

This is terrible and a total disgrace.

Another proof of what former priest Orlando Carvajal described as a nation of cheats!

Government spending is going down, while debt service is going up. At the rate it is currently going, all our money in the future will go to bankers.

The Manila Times has listed potential winners and losers in charter change. Editor Fort Yerro see Joe de Venecia as a winner. Representative Imee Marcos see it the other way.

Since childhood, I always thought of Pluto as the ninth planet, the planet farthest from the sun.

But my preconceived ideas of Pluto got shattered one by one:

1. Pluto is not always the farthest planet from the sun, and
2. Pluto is not a planet.

Visit Legaspi Mayon Eruption 2006 – That was the marketing slogan used to attract tourists to see the Mayon Volcano during an eruption.

Anyway, I went there with my sister last August 21-22. And sadly, I wasn’t able to see any action – due to increment weather. But it wasn’t all that bad, I actually learned a few things about the Bicolonian culture or society, particularly from Legaspi City. Let me enumerate: continue

It is ironic that at this point of time where there is still a slim window of opportunity to take that leaking oil tanker off from the waters of Guimaras, Petron is delaying its obligations to clean up its act. As a consumer, I am disgusted at the company’s seeming insensitivity towards the environment, and how it washes its hands of any responsibility.

I wanted to help in letting Petron feel my displeasure, but I felt helpless in making a dent at the company. But then, I remembered how Gandhi evoked change through civil disobedience wherein he urged ordinary people to boycott English cotton which resulted in hurting of the sales of foreign business and the eventual attention of the British government.To evoke change is to provoke Petron where it hurts them the most: their pockets. In this regard, I urge all petrol-consuming Filipinos to BOYCOTT ALL PETRON PRODUCTS AND GAS STATIONS until they remove that ship from the Guimaras waters. I’m doing my share of protest in the hope that they will listen to the voice of its consumers.

Please pass along…

While entering the door of my favorite salon (not Ricky Reyes) I saw the sign that said our cut hair willl be used for cleaning up the Guimaras Oil Spill. continue reading

Tom Cruise has been cited as one with the most symmetric faces in Hollywood. (FYI: Studies have shown that attractive faces are symmetric.) But, it is also a fact in most plastic surgery sites that Tom has had a reduction rhihoplasty before.

* Sing to the tune of The Mikado’s “I’ve Got A Little List” by Gilbert & Sullivan. The Mikado is a light operetta done in the 1880s. The lyrics are exactly the same from the operetta save for some poetic liberty this author took.

Palparan
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I’ve got a little list — I’ve got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed — who never would be missed!
There’s the pestilential columnist who writes my epitaphs —
All people who have written me in acid paragraphs —
All students who are up-to-date, and say that I’m a rat —
All persons who in shaking heads, shake heads with me like that —
And all third persons who on spoiling all the fun insist —
They’d none of ‘em be missed — they’d none of ‘em be missed!

All I can comment on the past week’s brouhaha over Isagani’s uber-insensitive and uber-bigoted article is this….

I HOPE ALL HIS “MACHO” SONS ALL TURN OUT…

Everything in mass media, we have to remember, is, in one conscious way or “inadvertent” other, just another publicity stunt. Like how I’m blogging about ISAGANI CRUZ and his gay bashingly antiquated views on gender and society.

And how THE PHILIPPINE DAILY INQUIRER okayed publishing it as a brazenly desperate attempt to separate itself from THE PHILIPPINE STAR, another major daily catering to a younger, more hip reading audience.

ISAGANI CRUZ’ second paragraph long disclaimer says it all:….Love me dumb intelligentsia, love me! We are so much better than the idiotically frivolous demographic PHILSTAR caters to! Idiots.

Seriously, I know many a gay men who’d still feel all warm and fuzzy despite the bashing of their own kind knowing they’re better than the others

Why is Petron still using the internationally-banned single-hull tankers? Neil Cruz again smells bribery, greed and corruption at work. Which is not strange considering that a similar oil spill incident involving also Petron and a single-hull ship occured in Semirara last year and that the company is partly-owned by the government. All the more reason why Petron and Sunshine Maritime should shoulder the clean-up expenses and the rebuilding of the lost livelihoods of the people of Guimaras. You’re talking about P100 million once the The Clean Water Act or RA 9275 is invoked, and it should be. It’s about time these environmental laws of ours be implemented and enforced.
