napanood ko ang isang documentary tungkol sa mga murang edad na sumasabak na sa mabibigat na trabaho. mga kabataan, itunuturing na pag-asa ng bayan!pero sa murang edad kailangan ng magtrabaho. upang tumulong sa kanilang magulang na hindi sapat ang kita para buhayin ang kanilang pamilya.kaya mas kailangan muna nilang busugin ang  kanilang kumakalam na tiyan bago ang kanilang isipan.at masasabi mong mas ma swerte pa ang anak  mo kung  kahit pano naibibili mo sya ng mumurahing laruan at napag aaral sa isang pampublikong paaralan.di mo maiiwasang maawa sa kabataan pag nakita mo silang  nagbubuhat ng malalaking bato  o naghahakot ng pirapirasong troso para kumita ng konting pera.. mga edad pito hanggang labing pito bakit kaylangan na nilang sumabak sa napakabigat na trabaho?pangunahing dahilan, “kahirapan”

ganun na nga bang kahirap ang pinas?pero bakit milyon-milyon o bilyon ang di umano ay naibubulsa lang ng ilang matataas na namumuno sa ating pamahalaan?diba maiisip mo na baka walang kabataang naghahakot ng troso at nagbubuhat ng mabibigat na bato kung nababahagian sana sila kahit kapiraso dun sa mga mliyones o bilyones na naiibubulsa lang ng ilang ganid na pulitiko.wla na si makoy, ang itinuring na magnanakaw daw ng kaban ng bayan.pero bakit meron paring magnanakaw  ng kaban ng bayan?at pinatalsik sa pwesto si pangulong erap na inasahan ng mahihirap, dahil daw currupt! pero bat parang lalong dumami ang currupt! at ngayon si pangulong arroyo, at naghahanap tayo  ng milagro..dahil tulad ng mga nauna pagnanakaw at currupt din daw ang kaso..kanya-kanyang palinisan at kanya-kanyang pagalingan wag sanang kalimutan ang tungkulin sa bayan..

libu-libong araw na ang nagdaan mula ng istorya sa edsa ay unang masilayan.parang isang pelikula na ilang ulit nasundan,pero nagkaroon ba ng kabuluhan ang mga ipinaglaban at inasam ng bayan?bakit parang lalo tayong sumu-subsob sa kahirapan?kay mang pandoy may nangyari ba, ilang mang jose paba ang ating makikilala at ang bangkang papel na lumubog na, san pa nga ba tayo pupunta?maraming namumuno,maraming nangagako pero nasaan ang pagbabago?pinoy nasaan na nga ba tayo?

I am not sure why, but I think when people search for Anthony Taberna, they are led to my blog (2nd ranked on google and 3rd on yahoo when “Anthony Taberna” is searched, as of today) where in 2006 I commented on the reasons (or lack of it) why he is becoming more and more successful (eg: more shows). As a result, that has become this blog’s most read page and the article is the most commented on.

Again, I still maintain the opinion that I cannot see why Mr. Taberna is gaining success on TV and radio (ABS-CBN). His voice is not as good as many on radio nor does he look any good on TV. His comments are obviously scripted (not bad) but also obviously has an underlying agenda not necessarily the truth (bad)….

…But of course, the mere fact I am asking the question (the why Taberna’s success) means I have an inkling of the answer. I suspect Taberna is a deployment from some group with a political agenda, possibly former President Erap’s camp.

When you see hundreds of people standing in line for hours under the hot sun so they can buy 2 kilograms of NFA rice - so that they can save P50 - who do you blame?

When you look back and see that during the time of President Marcos, we were a rice-exporting country but today, we are one of the world’s top importer of rice, who do you blame?

When you realize that our neighbors, Thailand and Vietnam, are the world’s top exporters of rice and yet many of their advances in rice farming were developed in the International Rice Research Institute in Laguna, who do you blame for our own country’s lack of progress in rice farming?

Here’s one of the icons in the movie industry - Stephen King. We all know him and if you don’t then I guess you are not watching movies at all. So here, Stephen King gives his opinion about politicians trying to put restrictions on the so-called “violent (video) games”.

Here are some excerpts I found very useful for our local politicians claiming that Gamers will be War-Freak Adults. Parents, you should read this as well.

Too much has been said about this issue of the looming Global Warming. However, aside from using this issue for political and popularity, and maybe, business gain, of some individuals and groups, very little is being done to solve this problem. Read More…

It is with shock that we all greet the day with news that Cory has colon cancer. It was just recently that we saw her so actively supporting Jun Lozada and the action to oust Arroyo that we are just happy to see the beloved former president move about, even if some do not agree with her. But as Gump said, life is like a box of chocolates, you wouldn’t know what you are going to get. This time, it was a bitter chocolate Tita Cory got, and it is bitter for all of us.

Here’s a good commentary on Jun Lozada’s misstep into Cebu. Read it here —

Jun Lozada will be going to our college today here in Cebu to speak on the NBN-ZTE deal. I can’t attend the said forum. Still, for those who are interested, it will be held this 3PM at the University of the Philippines (UP) Cebu College Conference Hall.

Updated March 17, 2008 10:30 PM: One of the organizers of the forum in the UP Cebu told me that the crowd was relatively large in spite of the fact that most students were either taking exams or heading back to the provinces for the holy week. The students were generally receptive to the affair. The conference hall, which can accodomate 250 people, was filled at maximum capacity.

However, Lozada’s scheduled talk in the University of San Carlos (USC) this morning was not as welcoming. Earlier this evening, I attended my philosophy student friend Dada’s graduation party in White Gold House and was able to talk to some students who were present in Lozada’s USC forum.

As early as now, we can all see that many politicians are already posturing and advertising themselves for the Presidential elections in 2010. Those who use EDSA wouldn’t fail to notice Bayani Fernando’s towering ads on MRT posts (where he supposedly wants advertisements removed). Everyone saw Loren’s and Villar’s emotional ads on TV. Of course we all know that Lacson, Escudero, and Roxas are all posturing well also on TV and radio during the ZTE (and subsequent) hearings. Even Erap is doing provincial trips obviously trying to promote himself as possible candidate in 2010. Also, we hear about the readiness of Noli de Castro and his possible team-up with Ate Vi.

I am sure, these days, negotiations are ongoing for team-ups and alliances. I am sure many in the mass media are now haggling or have already haggled with many politicians as to how each candidate is to be treated. Obviously Fernando does not have anything going on with the mass media, he is now beginning to be lambasted left and right. On the other hand, Villar is now always interviewed about any topic that comes up in the news, which means he has already done his haggling. Lacson and Escudero are both given good images on TV and radio for there are no negative comments about them even how stupid their questions are on those senate hearings. Also, there are no negative comments on Erap’s campaign, except for that one little question from someone from that French News Agency (AFP). There are some negative comments on Noli although they seem to be controlled, still at this point.

In fact, political re-alignments have started even since the first Hello Garci controversy. I remember I was on the verge of being touched on that day when the Hyatt-11 has resigned and when Cory came up in the open to denounce the cheating in elections. I am almost convinced that that was a turning point for PGMA, only to find out later that those moves are not individual spontaneous reactions, but are a pre-planned concerted action by members of the liberal party (LP-Drillon wing), as a whole to advance their groups chances.

It is clear to me now, that while all of well-meaning people are arguing why PGMA should or should not resign, our leaders are all politics as usual. Meanwhile, we all forget what we need to do. To this very day, while we question PGMA’s legitimacy and call her a cheat, and while we tend to abhor all kinds of cheating and corruption, all of the presidential wannabes are already cheating their way to 2010. They are now advertising themselves in violation of election laws. Of course, they have ways and means to avoid prosecution, but even a child would say that they are now all cheating.

While rallying at Makati and Liwasan, well-meaning people forgot that elections are coming and we are still vulnerable to cheating. While we follow every word of Jun Lozada’s sweet pied piping stories of how corrupt our government is, we forgot to see that our mass media is awash with spins and already prepared for 2010. While we are all deeply and emotionally involved in search for some truth, we fail to see that we still have not a set-up for a fair nor meaningful elections. Even the Ang Kapatiran party, with all its romantic vision of a better country forgot to market themselves and still remain surely a boring group come 2010.

Short of naming all our leaders, both in the opposition and administration, the CBCP and recently the Bishops in Manila asked our leaders to lead the fight against corruption within ourselves. Nobody seems to be heeding that call. Every politician while clamoring for truth is actually politics as usual. Worse, we naively buy their stories.

We are indeed doomed beyond 2010.
