Dead again on another technicality

So did Hitler, and he’s no.2 in the list of most hated personalities in the world. At the rate GMA is claiming to be the annointed one, baka pati si Satanas na no. 1 ay lagpasan niya. ‘Di ba blasphemy yang statement ni GMA? I just wonder why the CBCP does not castigate her for such comments.

never lose hope…”mapapalayas din ang huwad…”

“ang huwad na nagsinungaling,
ang huwad na nandaya,
ang huwad na nangurakot,
ang huwad na pinagtakpan lahat ng kanyang kasalanan…”

Lewis Smedes wrote, “Is there a hope when hope is taken away? Is there hope when the situation is hopeless? That question leads us to Christian hope, for in the Bible, hope is no longer a passion for the possible. It becomes a passion for the promise.”

there’s only one God (depending on your faith)…and we must continue to pray so we can go on with our fight for the truth…

Ano pa nga ba ang maaasahan natin sa isang rubber stamp na kongreso kung hindi ang muling umaasa na sa darating na eleksyon ay palitan sila. it’s easier said than done. pero talagang ganoon, ‘wag nating alisin ang pag-asang mababago pa rin natin ang masamang political system sa ating bansa… at dapat ‘yun ay simulan na natin sa ating mismong mga sarili. we deserve the kind of government we have kasi reflection ‘un natin. Ganon pa man, GOD BLESS THE PHILIPPINES!!

Honestly now, did someone really expected a quorum yesterday? Well count me out… i never in my wildest dream thought that there will be one, with Tongressman like Nograles, Libanan, Lagman, Datumanong, Villafuerte & the leader of the band…..Energizer buddy…. JDV in the House, ….GMA, the PEKENG PANGULO that she is …..can never go wrong. What was surprising was there were more than 51 present i really thought that i will only see 51 respectable, distinguised and NOT FOR SALE Congressman & Congresswoman in the House yesterday.

Absenteeism seems to be a norm for the members of the Lower House, more specially, if there is something important to be taken-up in the plenary, like in this case : the motion for reconsideration (MR) of the plenary decision junking all the impeachment complaints against gloria.

My unsolicited advice to my goodfriend, Rolex, why not bring the issue on quorum to the highest tribunal?

Why not? Who knows we could have a fresh whiff of judicial legislation in the offing.

God works in mysterious ways. If your prayers are not answered yet
perhaps God is still undecided as to who He will choose to take over Gloria. God knows the people have suffered enough and He wants to make sure the one He chooses must be the rightful leader. If it is taking God so long to decide don’t you think that perhaps there is no one yet He could find that is worthy of His trust?

They can go to the Supreme Court and it may declare a favorable ruling for the opposition re quorom issue. So it may re-file for reconsideration again. But who woulld stop the honorable representatives from absenting themselves again when offered the right kind of incentive just to mess up the quorom? And who from the administration would have the balls to reverse himself, again when offered the right kind of incentive, with a little scaring for guaranteed effect? Give it up, guys! Submit the issue to the real souvereign because it is their call now.

there really are rotten eggs amongst us…

in malacañang and in congress,

their stinking smell is in the air.

The Caving Roof

There seems a thing of people not able to adequately connect to why in our decades of existence as a free nation, following independence that is, matters of finding ourselves amid confusing I.D. problems continue to dog us even more, we can’t know who we are really, whilst it be our forced self-exile anywhere sans economic despondency, our aim doesn’t really matter, earn something and be anywhere, I call it the ‘Jeepney syndrome’ or doctors studying to be nurses?

Are we asking, basking in hew of ivy something of toxin, why the Jeepney? Why not ask me why grandma have always been amongst the kind that says good old days, good old days, but what about what grandma knew?

Grandma who took ward of me since I was toddler of two, says she missed the ‘Trambia’ a feature transport of once regal Manila during the 30’s, clean transport means unlike anything that’s new, not even the Jeepney, the poison spew, the daily dose of death stew for Pinoys. She was a senator’s wife during the Philippine Commonwealth, and a Muslim that’s why I believed her.

The Trambia resembled the San Francisco fabled cable car racing up and down the streets of San Francisco, USA, a feature never to be removed from minds of many Americans and much of the world like the Pinoy with the Jeepney, because it somehow describe a way of life that is definitely clean; unlike the Jeepney that is everything but, really dirty and a danger at every given curb. Would this be the prescription or the description why we are oh so late for work? Late to develop unable to breath well like everyday is a gas attack spewing to scatter poison to soil the air, every curve a death mark; this is the Jeepney syndrome, why are we so backward not realizing it is suicidal having the Jeepney around much too much?

This brings to mind why our legislators have always been so hamstrung over issues especially media prone issues, the decadent media hype on any issue can by some large extent make or in certain cases, unmake politicians. Like the Jeepney, a sort of a quick temporary transport means after the huge 2nd World War, I am certain there will be other noises in the future as had the past, the temporal grandstanding by any emotion griped politician, rightly or wrongly.

But kicking ass remove somebody big indeed can be a celebrated media event, can make congressmen senators or perhaps even be president one day, a Jeepney King persona once made it big, made it becoming president, and why not? It does pay well to be president in this country.

I have serious doubts whether by our having become so engrossed with issues we forget to be people in need of government that can be answerable; a government to respond to our exclusionary need not one to cater to an outsider’s greed who would have none to spare anyway, after all what is there to spare?

Nothing significant to ask except be part of an effort to be at war or be part of a determined effort to be removed away from conflicts, is this the overriding tune or the overburdening global disease called terror? Well then, let us confuse more and or choose our graveyard, or make crucial choices find us a government, not of an alter persona to make us a government I certainly hope to God it is not a person replacement!

But what if we are the kind that would like to live in peace, live in real prosperity? Would it be to mean it is crazy to be asking for the moon, I believe ours have had much of the sun, scorched our well being basking to forget we have problems that could be the trigger to doom, or be rigged into something we can’t know, should we call it war and us wanting peace and prosperity, warriors?

Nothing is new, it is a rehash of things, a make or break transition to nowhere like the nomad shepherd with no sheep to tend, only garbage and dumps to dwarf the Everest to sift through so to eke something for something, no nothing is new, only heartaches and being so downtrodden poor and really hungry.

But what if we are the ones not taking heartaches, warriors of worth because we happen to love our kids, not die but live for them, and why not? And no guns needed or bladed weapons, true freedom like Mandela!

What if we are so knowing of something to end wars and famine and you guys out there happen to share the same enthusiasm and be the warriors, a differing breed of warriors who would like to live because we love our kids?

What if?

But like the magical wand that brimmed to shoo away a dictator once, deceive not for it was the Merlin Man not the wand that brought to heed that crushed the chary vainly Iron Man, but the Merlin Man lived no more he is a goner, dead! We must then remind the smothered fairy t’ is not her wand that did the magic, I insist! The Merlin man smothered of God has passed, never to resurrect. Let the Merlin Man be in peace, let us have peace for God’s sake!

Or must we? Aye, resurrect the dead so evil may leave our midst, depart not be cumbersome again and again evil mother of all evil, in vales of tapes to sample of unwitting lies? Sample the stench from the carcass of war; children denied of shelter and food, orphans and widows, tapes you say? Nay, Mesdames, it is war I meant…must or mustn’t we end them?

What if we push for regional interests under a unicameral legislative body but with a senate to be representing regions instead to work under a Federal System of governance, will this keep the senators jump with glee? Well, not really but the least is frown with something, they always have something very deep in meaning but less of substance unless quadruple their power pork will there be good, God forbidding results? Yahoo my ass!

But grandma has more of stories, tales of wit of what was the ‘Peace Time’ good old days says she is driven in paved roads by a car among three or four in Mindanao, democracy yet in infancy made more lawyers, doctors and nurses, peace not of any other kind but among peers in battlefields that raged of bravery, of courage real war fought by real men that decided then peace is a better war to wage, and they did and succeeded. This was the 9/11 draconian man in the 20’s, now once more in decadent rage over an insanity driven present-day war by a deranged self-proclaimed messiah, the doomsday man.

Communication was the problem then, in the 20’s or thereabout shiploads of teachers shipped in from America bridged up the gap, in few commanding years everyone learned the ropes why communication is quite of importance, like scratch mine and I can with yours sort of simple exchanges? Simple but it stopped a raging war.

Because of the ‘Peace Time’ her husband made it to the senate during the Commonwealth, a son becoming a senator another son and a daughter governors, so peace time is the one piece of treasure I will relish if only to keep memories of my departed grandma’s good old days, good old days anyone?

agree ako sa yo schumey. wag ng pasuwelduhin ang mga palaabsent ng tonggressman. ano sila don?

for those who defend GMA and his ‘dogs’.. kung ayaw nyong maniwala sa prinsipyo ng mga taong kumakalaban sa kampo ni GMA, wag nyo n lang ipagtanggol mga ginagawa nila… kindly keep your mouths shut, please… delicadeza naman… have you read the list on the recent post?.. ano ginawa nung mga congressmen n un sa UN?.. Please again, prove that you are more intelligent than just believing on whatever GMA’s camp is saying nor just opposing to whatever the opposition is bringing out….

FOR CHRIST’S SAKE!….

MAJORITY RULES. This is the bedrock of democracy. It is the foundation of a strong democracy when the majority of HONEST and CONSCIENTIOUS men bind themselves together for the common good of the greater majority. What we continue to witness today in the Senate and the House is simply a majority of men who bind themselves together for a common devilish purpose. This is a betrayal of trust and defy the principles of democracy. This must end.

The Constitution will be rewritten soon. This is an important issue that the constitutionalists must be prepared to rectify because the country and its people should never be held at the mercy of and captive by an unscrupulous ruling majority. Bringing the issue to the Supreme Court may be fruitless as it cannot be expected to interfere in matters purely the internal affairs of its co-equal body. It behooves, therefore, the constitutionalists to resolve this problem and put an end to the abuses of dominant party system. This is but one of the political changes the country badly needs to reform the political system of governance.

The other equally important is the fight against corruption in government. Bring down the minimum Plunder amount of P50 million to any substantive form of corruption and classify it as high crime against the people.

[…] The filing comes after the failed bid of pro-impeachment congressmen to file a motion for reconsideration, their last legal recourse at the House which was even denied them by the majority-engineered adjournment of the session for lack of quorum when the House reconvened after a two-week break last Monday.
