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?

Stephen King on Violence and Politicians

Wednesday
Apr 9,2008

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…

A hero as Ninoy is

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.

All Politics as Usual

Monday
Mar 17,2008

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.

Last semester, I was able to attend a seminar on reproductive rights hosted by UP Center for Integrative and Development Studies (UP-CIDS). The discussion, although insightful, wasn’t novel. It basically talked about the still un-adressed population problem here in the Philippines.

As I’ve said, the topic wasn’t anything new. I’ve been hearing and reading of it ever since my elementary years. I could recall my elementary science teachers telling us about the growing population, together with other problems such as pollution. Now that I’m in my second degree course in College, I find it surprising (or rather, appalling) that nothing has been done about it.

WHAT?! (Sheesh…) [CONTINUE READING]

The ASEAN Charter – Interesting Parts

Wednesday
Mar 12,2008

The ASEAN Charter, the talk of the year. The new Constitution that is greater than our respective National Constitutions. ASEAN on the road to becoming a supra-”nation” if you will. But for us ordinary citizens, like me, what are the interesting parts?

Read on to know what interests me with the ASEAN Charter, now that the final “signed” version has been released officially….

Highly-Place Sources

Wednesday
Mar 12,2008

The Inquirer recently has resorted to quoting highly-placed sources to add credence to their news reports. Last Sunday, again, highly-placed sources were quoted saying that a former PNOC head (named as Eduardo Manalac) will testify to the alleged multi-million dollar bribery on the ZTE deal. The news was the biggest headline of the day for the Inquirer.

…Right from the beginning, the story doesn’t hold water, as how could any source know what has not yet happened. Reading the report, one can have a sense of exasperation and might be tempted to subscribe to that source’s newspaper if ever he/she would have one, for it seems that source is the only source of information available in the world (of the Inquirer)….

Just a few days ago, Archbishop Gaudencio Rosales found himself in a bind when a book written by former DSWD Sec. Dinki Soliman found itself into the media. According to Soliman, Rosales made a call to the Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to resign during the peak of the Hello Garci controvesy. For his part, Rosales averred that never did. Interestingly, former Sen. Franklin Drilon corroborated what Soliman said. Drilon notes that he heard Rosales himself say it. [CONTINUE READING]

Are Filipinos Poor Because We’re Lazy?

I have given this some thought, and wonder at its validity. Is there a direct causal relation between laziness and poverty? That is, are we poor because we’re lazy? Or are we lazy because we’re poor?

The Power of Symbols

Sunday

Effigies are perhaps one of the most effective ways of making people understand the true sentiments of the people in a rally. In the news report today, I saw a group of protesters burning and, for a lack of a better word, torturing an effigy of the president. The scene didn’t strike me at all being accustomed to seeing such several times over the tv. What attracted my attention was the effect of the act on the policemen who were watching the protesters while the latter tore to pieces the dummy of the president. [READ MORE]

It’s good to know that not everyone in the Philippine Senate is fixated on the NBN ZTE scandal— which is the current hot issue prevailing politics in the orient pearl. I’m no fan of Philippine politics. But reading about a recent privilege speech (see below) by Senator Juan Miguel “Migz” F. Zubiri on a number of animal welfare issues was like a breath of fresh air in the midst of the stifling media frenzy around the controversies of corruption gripping the country. Finally, somebody up there is speaking for the animals!
