Isn’t this a good idea for a T-shirt?
I’m told one of the detained Scout Rangers did this.
Ellen,
sorry, pero hindi magandang tingnan ang ‘symbolism’.
although buwaya ang may hawak sa PILIPINAS, hayop pa rin ang gustong umagaw.
it seems like yung ipinaglalaban nakatali ang leeg sa buwaya yung flag natin…panget din naman kung mismong tao na nakatali…hmmm!
Hindi yong nakadena ang nangaagaw. Kinukuha lang balik..return dignity to the Filipinos..Kahit kailan man hindi nangagaw ang truth and honor. The truth is the truth kahit pabaligtarin mo pa. Honor has to earned and these men who fought for truth and honor are now chained. Ang buwaya ang may hawak ng bayan natin..We all know who are those who are chained..and don’t we know who the buwaya is? Kung hindi mo alam ay aywan ko sa iyo. Maybe you need a new pair of glasses..your vision is not 20-20. AT kailan pa man hindi hayop ang mga nakatali..itinali sila kasi takot yong buwaya..Tama “Something is really wrong when those in power are afraid of those they have put in prison.” Ano pa?
In the orient, a tiger represents guardian of the universe against the forces of chaos, living symbol of strength and courage. Kroko represents the corrupt and abusive Gloria Arroyo regime and her rubber stamp De Venecia-led congress.
Sabi nga ni DKG a tiger is a symbol of strength and courage..a kroko represents the corrupt.. both are animals..
and DinaPinoy are we not all animals? May mabait, at may masama..may puso at wala kaya ng halimaw-the ugliest beast.
correction..gaya ng halimaw..the ugliest beast.
In China the tiger is the king of the beasts. He takes on much the same symbolism as the lion in western cultures. He represents royalty, power, courage, ferocity, strength, wrath, cruelty, treachery, and authority. The wild tiger uses these attributes in a frightening and beastly way, while the tamed tiger uses the appropriate traits in a manner which benefits humankind. Remarkably, in a Chinese version of “Little Red Riding Hood,” the child and her grandmother are set upon by a tiger rather than a wolf.
The wild tiger is thought to be an angry and savage creature. Along with the deer (representing love-sickness) and the monkey (symbolizing greed), the tiger is counted as one of the Three Senseless Creatures of Chinese Buddhism. As such, he symbolizes anger. One might ask where the tiger’s anger comes from. According to one legend, a young boy severely whipped or “given many stripes” by his teacher ran off into the forest and in his rage became the first tiger.
Ellen,
Thanks for the gif. I am making a T-shirt with it. Gagamitin ko pagdating ni Unano sa Tokyo. Inaabangan namin ng mga kasama ko at may repeat performance kami.
Time to protest against the incarceration of these brave soldiers. Golly, baka talagang sinasadya para pag atake ng Amerika ala-Iraq invasion, suko agad ang mga pilipino!
Sabi ng staff ko, OK ngarud daw kung kano para daw libre na ang punta nila sa Tate. Yuck! Kesa naman daw China pa ang sumakop sa Pilipinas!!! Talo daw agad pihado dahil puro supot ang mga nagpapalakad ng AFP!!!
Kawawang Pilipinas!!! Nakakadugo ng puso!
Here in the States, I also hear people saying ‘sayang, sana hindi na umalis ang Kano sa Pilipinas’.
Ate Ellen,
Nararamdaman ko ang hirap ng mga magigiting nating sundalo na nakakulong at gusto nang talagang makaalpas para ipagtanggol ang bayan sinisibasib ng mga buwaya! We have to help them get free from the chains!
Umalis sila (US military) sa Subic at Clark noon 1990 at bumalik muli noon 1991 bilang US-RP Balikatan.
Mas maganda sana kung ginawang bundat yung buwaya at patuloy na tumutulo ang laway. Nangangahulugan na marami nang nasibasib ngunit di pa rin gustong tumigil.
Iyang pagdedepende sa Amerika ang nakakasira sa mga pilipino sa totoo lang. Kunyari ini-spoil ng mga kano pero sa totoo lang, damdam ko mas mataas pa ang rangko ng mga hapon sa Tate kesa sa mga pilipino! Kasi pag nakita ng isang kano ang passport kong hapon, may kasama agad na “Wow!” ‘Pag pinoy, no pansin!
Proud? Nope! Nakakaiyak sa totoo lang! Lalo na ngayon na parang pulubi lalo ang Pilipinas dahil sa utang dito, utang doon ang ginagawa noong tariray na boba, tapos bugaw doon, bugaw dito ng mga super maid-tech daw!!!
Inagaw nang buwaya ang bandila ng Pilipinas at itinali ang mga tagapagtanggol nito.
Mukhang merong mangyayari! Makawala sana ang aso at sagpangin ang ulo ng buwaya na of course ay si Gloria, sino pa!
Rose,
Right, Gloria d’ hybrid…”hindi tao, hindi hayop” (pahiram Tongue) is the ugliest beast!
That is right. The Philippines is dependent on America. Most Nations are dependent on America. Israel, Greece, Egypt to name a few. Even Japan is dependent on the Americans to protect them from a possible attack from North Korea.
Kinakalawang na ung chain malapit ng maputol konti pang alburuto at pagwawala..yung buwaya kakawag-kawag na ang buntot at unti-unting lumalayo di na siya makalapit tatakot na at baka paglapit niya biglang tanggal ng kinakalawang na chain at sagpangin siya…!
kami naman tanggap namin may kano eh, ang gusto lang namin yung sabihin ang agenda..di naman kami ipokrito una kabilang tayo sa 3rd world country at pareho nating ka-ally u.s man o japan o kahit na anong 1st world country..pero sana pag-isipan ng govt yung magkaroon ng hangganan kung hangang saan lang dapat ang pakikipag-relasyon sa dayuhang mga bansa…mas kailangan nila tayo dahil sa likas nating yaman kaya di tayo dapat masyado paalipin sa kanilang kaisipan…
Hindi naman umalis ang mga kano ah.. Palipatlipat lang. Noon ang military bases ay sa Luzon. Ngayon magconstruct sa Mindanao. Sa Cebu sa Mactan..Sa Western Visayas..wala pa ata. Kon saan may pakinabang sila…there they are..Come to think of it sa Western Visayas walang military base sila..Universities- yes. Central Phil. University and Siliman University are both very good schools.. recognized for academic excellence. We may seem to be dependent on them but they also are dependent on us for our natural resources..kaya lang sa atin..ang nakikinabang ay yong mga corrupt officials..kahit dito marami ang nasa welfare..maraming corrupt officials sa gobierno at sa private corporations. Many times, however, nahuhuli at pinaparusahan..may mga mayor na ikinulong..dahil sa kasamaan..hindi gaya sa ginawa kila Sen. Trillanes and the Men of Honor..they were not even charged..
Ang tanong “who will redeem our stolen Filipino dignity? Hindi si Angara–si Enrile? si Meriam Santiago? si Joker?
si FVR? si Honasan? wala sa kanila..si Raul Gonzales? lalong nasira..Ang tunay na nagmamahal sa bayan ay ikinulong..but as we know there is always an end to everything..malapit na ang mga huling sandali nila..at baka ma indira siya..
Titser: Even Japan is dependent on the Americans to protect them from a possible attack from North Korea.
*****
Iyan ang propaganda, but as Anna once mentioned, mas depende ngayon ang mga kano sa Japan, militarily speaking!
At least, may pride ang mga hapon. Hindi oobra ang mga kalokohan ng mga servicemen na kano dito sa Japan. At least, iyong mga lawbreakers among them, nakukulong! Sa Pilipinas, korte ng Pilipinas, binaboy!!!
Japan is not entirely dependent on America para utuin, and this is a fact. At least, people here know how to demand for equality and/or co-prosperity. Hindi nga maisampal sa Japan iyong gusto ni Bush na HSA niya. Sabi ng mga nanalong Dietmen sa mga kano,”Maghintay kayo! At our pace and needs!”
Hindi tanggap dito ang publicity na kung wala ang America, wala ang Japan, and reason why Japan is establishing stronger ties with Germany, UK, etc. FYI!
BTW, Japan negotiates with North Korea not via USA but via China. Useless naman kasing humingi ng tulong sa Amerika na kaaway din ng North Korea. Iyong China, at least, may clout kay Kim! Common sense lang naman!
Ystakei;
Philippines need America more than Japan or any other countries in the world whether you like it or not. When you come across America, never assume that the American peoples has only a single identity that is Caucasians..America is a product of migration of different races, but, I won’t go deeper on that history, instead I focus on the U.S.-Philippines mutual relationships. I believe the U.S. should be supportive of the democratic changes in the Philippines and encourage the democratic transformation. We should cool it on the negativism and criticism against America. We all know what these problems are in terms of governmental efficiency infrastructure, poverty, the insurgency, and so forth.
Also, as I remember from your previous blog long, long time ago, you categorized many U.S.Marines a rapist because of Daniel Smith and you hated America yet some of your relatives live in SFO.Ano ba talaga? Most GIs are law-abiding, but many alienated and drunken troops do commit a disproportionate number of crimes.Smith was convicted of rape in a Philippines court, the U.S. exerted diplomatic pressure at the highest level to effect his removal, during the appeal process, to the U.S. Embassy (rather than the Philippines jail to which the judge had consigned him) but, that doesn’t meant that the U.S. is bullying a third countries. However, the service men are not only perpetrators, but they also struggle in their circumstances, as they are sent abroad with little preparation or understanding of the local culture, language, and social conditions, which brings about anger and fear against their surroundings and often drives them to commit crime.
The U.S. has given substantial economic assistance to Philippines more than Japan. Sometimes this aid is purely humanitarian in nature, such as aid for disaster relief and emergency food programs. In other instances, assistance is provided because of special historical or security relationships. But most often, economic assistance is just one element of U.S. relationships with Philippines that also include mutually beneficial trade and investment flows and educational and cultural exchanges.
USAID programs are financed by the American taxpayer. Many Americans feel that the U.S. has a responsibility to help Philippines achieve better lives for their people. Providing development assistance helps the U.S. build closer ties with both countries. The U.S. also benefits economically because economies that are developing and growing are better trade and investment partners.
Gusto ko yung ideang dapat malaki ang tiyan ni kroko at tumutulo ang laway niya!
I can not say much about the beauty and the beast on the main issue but I’ll just point out one thing on the side issue. Pinoys have a clout. We can talk and get the meanest and most vicious criminals out of the deathrows in Saudi Arabia for a song while we cry foul on one US marine getting out of his cell remanded for one little quickie.
At least, iyong kano hindi naputulan ng ulo, taas at ibaba. Iyong mga pilipino, sila na nga ang ginahasa, sila pa ang napupugutan ng ulo sa KSA. Example iyong pilipinong naging Moslem na napugutan ng ulo at ngayon ay hindi makuha ng pamilya niya ang katawan niya. Ang kasalanan niya, napatay niya iyong Pakistaning humalay sa pagkalalaki niya. Saan ang fairness diyan, aber?
The poster portrays a powerful message cleverly aimed at the military hierarchy. I am persuaded, but perplexed by DinaPinoy who is against symbolism but admires the big cat. Perhaps DP has forgotten the propensity of Pinoys to denigrate enemies using healthful fruits or helpful animals such as balimbing, calabasa, kalabaw.
I am delighted to note that titser did not jump ship and will perhaps mingle with the other ‘yanks’ in Ellenville. But, a caveat: one is a rabid pro, another just lukewarm.
Titser opened the topic of America and promptly roiled some feelings, and I’ll join the fun. This time I side with my golf partner Cocoy.
Like any nation, America has imperfections, including the old civilized First World countries of Europe. So have Asia’s China and Japan. But I admire the USA for its many good qualities, one of which is its honesty in being able to laugh at itself (Read the book The Ugly Amerian by William Lederer). The Philippines could have been part of this superpower (as State or Territory) were it not for the nationalism of Quezon who preferred Pilipinas to be run like hell by Filipinos instead of run like heaven by Americans. And he certainly got his wish. Many of us resent many discriminatory moves by Americans as racist, ignorant of the fact that they must act according to their laws, many of which are the original source of the preponderance of our own laws and jurisprudence. Their meddling in the 2006 Nursing Licensure exam cheating was simply to ensure that any nurse hired for U.S. healthcare is proficient. The rapist image of U.S. Marines applied to Daniel Smith is a spatter of cases in Okinawa, and I personally feel that Smith’s conviction was due to media and rallyist hoopla that swayed the decision.(I believe the act was consensual). But taking the big picture, American strategy and tactics in the Philippine context must be viewed in geopolitics – the U.S. first line of defense is the Pacific rim, the second is Guam, then Hawaii. They have troops in Japan and Korea. Mindanao borders Indonesia, the cradle of JI terrorists. The presence of G.I.s in Zambo and the military aid to the AFP are the offshoot of JIs in Basilan and Sulu. Of course the medical aid is a ploy to soften the locals. The Hueys and C-130s are aids in the form of soft loans (gratis devalues their care and maintenance). There is an annual $30 million military grant. And let’s not forget the Peace Corps.
“..although buwaya ang may hawak sa PILIPINAS, hayop pa rin ang gustong umagaw.”
bakit hindi sa nagdisenyo ipaabot ang punang ito? sila ang makasasagot kung ano ang kahulugan ng mga simbolo, at bakit.
Arroyo orders P150 increase in combat pay for Army, Marines
By Lira Dalangin-Fernandez
INQUIRER.net
Last updated 01:33pm (Mla time) 08/28/2007
MANILA, Philippines — As she hailed the soldiers anew at the forefront of fight against armed rebels, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has ordered an increase of P150 pesos per day in the combat pay for Army and Marine troops.
Arroyo also instructed Armed Forces Chief Hermogenes Esperon to release the guidelines for the increase, and for Budget Secretary Rolando Andaya Jr. to set aside P145 million a year for the additional pay.
http://www.newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view_article.php?article_id=85162
isang malaking kalokohan kung paniniwalaan ng mga naka-assign sa combat areas. 150 pesos per day?
aba! eh kung 100,000 kawal ang nakatalaga sa larangan ay tumataginting na 5,400,000,000 piso na ang badyet sa loob ng isang taon tapos ang kwenta nila 145 milyon lang?

“Arroyo orders P150 increase in combat pay for Army, Marines”?
Sinong niloloko niya? Coca Cola nga na nasa lata baba na ang 30 pesos, 150 pesos lang ang increase na ibibigay niya? Bakit hindi niya bawasan ang sueldo niya at noong mga gunggong na nag-utos doon sa mga sundalo na pumunta sila doon sa lugar na para mapugutan sila ng ulo at iyon ang idagdag sa sueldo ng mga ipapapugot nila pa ng ulo sa mga tulisan sa Mindanao? Puede ba, patalsikin na, now na!
oo magandang sticker din yan sa “bureau of census” ! to symbolize the “fury and grievances” of the whole dying citizenry.
AK47,
pahingi din kami ng sticker !
gokusen,
hayaan mo, pagawa ako ng mga t-shirts at sticker dito, at yon ang isusuot ko pag-uwi ko na pinas, kaya lang baka sa NAIA palang eh padadakip nako ni impakta ah! palagay mo?

“kakasuhan daw ng kidnaping ang communist rebels sa pagdukot kay jonas burgos!”
***
Hahahah pa rin! Pilit na iniikot ang bola. Wala ng bibili ng propagandang yan!
Mrivera,
Sa increas na 150 pesos a day combat pay ng mga sundalo: “kung 100,000 kawal ang nakatalaga sa larangan ay tumataginting na 5,400,000,000 piso na ang badyet sa loob ng isang taon tapos ang kwenta nila 145 milyon lang?
***
Hindi pa approve ay nakabulsa na!
“Army chief warns ‘drastic action’ vs troops in alleged coup”
***
O, another order said in different words to “control the situation”!
Paranoid Gloria and minions. Signs of the times!
Ninakaw ng buwaya ang badila ng Pinas para ibaon sa putikan!
chi says:
“Hindi pa approve ay nakabulsa na!”
(additional 150 pesos/day combat pay)
chi, iyan ang sigurado! na additional “pocket pay” ni asseron at gloria kasama ang mga tuta.
opppss… “assperon” ! sorry.
I still believe the weakness is not with the Philippines institutions when it comes to dealing with other countries, but with its people in the government, who uses these deals for their own personal interest instead of the country. The deals is alway negotiated with good intentions on both side, unless the other side willing to betray its own interest. The U.S. and Canada are the two biggest two way traders in the world, and consistently Canada’s has a Trade Surplus of $50 Billions and that does mean that we took advantage of NAFTA which was negatiated fair and square between the two countries. It is just that we more to export to the U.S. than we have to import from them and there is no dispute between us that we can not resolve in proper and civilized manner. To pare cocoy we are always good neighbor and let’s keep it that way…good day ehh…
“…sana nga magkikita tayo, promis yan ha? tapos pasyalan natin ang “baywalk” kasama si mrivera para masaya.”
AK-47, gokusen, sama ako dyan, ha?
Chi, thanks for the WB on the other thread.
“Something is really wrong when those who are in power are afraid of those they have put in prison.”
Something’s seriously wrong when people in power are scared even of their own shadows. Why would the Palace invoke EO464 if they are unafraid?
Something’s seriously wrong when one, whose “victory” as “president” is in question, rules to exclude another who won fair and square from the honor of serving his mandate as senator (At least, there wasn’t any shade of doubt cast on Senator Trillanes’ victory.)
The graphics above is an insult to crocodiles, for even crocodiles reach points of satisfaction. Those in power show no hint of being satisfied with their loot.
eh, ito naman kaya, sino’ng matutuwa?
sila ring magkakaalyadong SUWAPANG!

Gov’t panel won’t touch Cabinet man in graft raps
08/28/2007
Malacañang’s Committee of Peers has reportedly refused to investigate a Cabinet member who has been found to be guilty of two counts of graft charges, including “unjust enrichment,” and instead passed the case to the Presidential Anti-Graft Commission (PAGC).
Asked about this, Presidential Management Staff chief Cerge Remonde, who heads the committee of Peers, said the panel is not authorized to investigate Cabinet members accused of various anomalies so he instead forwarded the said case to PAGC Chairman Constancia de Guzman for verification and investigation.

ka enchong,
hindi naman ‘yung kung paanong nabubusog ang binibigyang pansin sa buwaya kundi ‘yung kung paano ito sumagpang at lumapa ng kanyang lalamunin.
pero mas masahol pa nga sa buwaya itong si gloria. ka liit na babae ay tinalo pa ang may sa guho dahil kahit ano’ng isubo ay parang hindi nagkakalaman ang sikmura!
tsk. tsk. tsk. insulto nga sa buwaya.
Ka Enchong, Mrivera,
Agree, insulto sa buwaya ang ikumpara kay Gloria!
Dahil sa sukdulan ang pagkagahaman sa lahat ng bagay nitong reyna ng EK, wala siyang katulad. Mahihiya kahit si Lucifer!
Ka Enchong,
Bukod sa ito ang pinakamabantot na highway sa buong mundo, ano ba ang meron sa Macapagal hwy?
Chi: Anong hway? Yong Macapal-ga?
maganda yung binuksang anggulo ni DinaPinoy, tungkol sa punto ng simbolismo, nakakapukaw ng isipan sa punto ng mga kultura’t paniniwala.
pero may pahabol si Ellen, na ang gumuhit ay isang operatiba ng scout rangers; sila ay gumagamit ng de-sulsi na burda sa kanilang mga uniporme na itim na pusa (tama ba, Magno?). maaring ito ay isang paraan bilang pagbibigay-pugay sa kanilang hanay.
———
ka enchong,
yung huling talata ng inyong komento, sang-ayon ako buong-buo.
Neonate: I have read “The Ugly American” way back in 1969 before coming here. There is a sentence in that book that I can not just erase in my mind..”for the monkeys have no tails in Zamboanga”? In 1969 there were not that many Filipinos here in NYC. I was staying at the YWCA dorm at the time, and I was asked to talk about the Phil. at the International night and a question was asked..”where did you learn English?” I was furious inside me and about to give the answer..”while swinging from one tree to another.”
but politeness prevailed and just said..I went to school.
And correct me if I am wrong.. the Ugly American alluded to was Col. Ed Landsdale? I have heard this..but I honestly don’t think so and I hope not. Kasi, at 10 years of age I have seen Col. Landsdale at the residence of Lolo Juan (J. C.Orendain). I get uptight when I hear a Filipino criticize our way of life in front of non-Filipinos. Hindi bale kung tayo tayo lang we can joke about it..but with others..naku naman!
Cocoy: Tama ka US gave more to us in terms of money and other services (pati na nga seguro ang corruption). Fresh from school, in 1968, I had the opportunity to go to Japan on a “private” exchange program. I was interested in a study comparing the two countries in terms of economic development after WWII. Both countries were given war damage compensations..but Japan progressed rapidly. And I asked why? What I realized and the answer to my question why? the Japanese are more disciplined. It is their personal and individual self discipline. Taken as a whole nation..that is how..this is my impression that I still have about Japan. Maybe iba na ngayon..
Gokusen: I took a close look at the chain..malapit na nga maputol. Soon it will be done!
Ellen: paki bili mo ako ng T-shirts..size PM (putot medium-)I hope to be home late Jan. That would be a nice shirt to wear at the Phil. Independence Parade in NYC, and at the PAGCOM day here in JC. Thanks..
Mrivera: yong 150/day ay combat pay, hindi ba? Ang intindi ko dian ay combat pay kaya para lang sa nadeploy sa Basilan or Sulu. Ano ang mabili? pandesal na walang laman at cape (barako)? Di pang almusal lang. How many were sent 5,000 or 6,000? Hindi ba alam ni GMA, kung anong taas nang bilihin ngayon (ay siya itong nagpataas)? Kung sabagay indi naman siya namamalengke. I guess ang hindi niyang pagtaas sa height niya doon na lang niya bawiin sa mga tao. Kasalanan pa natin na putok siya? Kaya pala kailangan niya ang $ ni Uncle Sam..para sa lobster, lechon, bacon, etc. nakinakain nila… at cognac ba ang iniinom sa gabi? macholesterol sana kanyong lahat na sumosunod sa kanya.
kasalanan ba natin na putot siya? putok ang natype ko. Sana may isang bala na puputok at “accidentally” matamaan siya. Wala bang magkakamali? Sa dami ng pagkakamali ng mga commanders sa nangyari wala bang magkamalit ngayon?
Off-topic but I just read in Malaya that Joma Sison has been arrested in Netherlands for a crime committed in the Philippines, and the Dorobo government is playing innocent about it.
Sinong niloloko ng mga ungas? Even his being included in the US and EU list of terrorists was no accident. There was a lead in fact sent to the Japanese police long, long time ago so that I thought it was hypocritical that they would be holding those peace talks with the CPP in Europe when the Philippine government has been sending feeders to foreign governments to have him and his people arrested or tailed.
As for the killings in Leyte since 2001, I doubt that Sison has anything to do with it. Let the Dutch police investigate it. They may be better investigators there!
I should add that the case of Sison is a police matter, not military! Let justice be done! If he is guilty that he should be tried and prosecuted properly.
Unfortunately, over in the Philippines, it is not uncommon that innocent people are convicted by the “system” by using the testimony of “paid” informants; a stoolie, a snitch.
How many people have we heard being framed with stoolies used to give false affidavits to the court and justice then denied?
Worse is the common practice of using perjurers instead of actual evidences that more often than are not available or fabricated because the police just do not care about people getting falsely convicted. Worse is when the prosecutor and the judge are part and parcel of the deception.
In those cases, it is not uncommon that one sees obstruction of justice, prosecutorial misconduct, perjury and jury tampering. And the result? You bet, injustice.
If you are using the above image for your T-shirt, baka malagay kayo sa police blotter. Ganyan ang nangyari doon sa mga B&W members who wore the Patalsikin Na, Now Na T-shirt. Dinakip sila ng pulis even when it was in fact suppression of freedom of speech and assembly. Remember? Kaya sinong may sabing safe?
Rose: It is their personal and individual self discipline. Taken as a whole nation..that is how..this is my impression that I still have about Japan. Maybe iba na ngayon..
*****
On the whole, disiplinado pa rin. Nothing much has changed except that with the foreign invasion, dumami ang magnanakaw although where I live, it is still fairly safe. Compared to the California for instance, we still have very few cases of murder, etc.
It is actually far from being told to do this and not do that. It is a matter of having more consideration for the feelings of people around a person.
Years ago, I asked my father-in-law about the Japanese concept of sin especially those who have been brought up not having any concrete idea of a god like we do as Christians or Moslems.
His answer was “It is a matter of abiding by some rule, a sense of responsibility, and the ability to take such responsibility upon oneself. One sins if he hurts other people regardless of whether or not there is a law, written or unwritten, defining and prohibiting such harmful act.
In other words, “huwag mamerhuwisyo ng kapwa.”
This reminds me. While in CA, a friend of my nephew was killed in a party he attended, a victim of a gatecrasher who went wild. The murder occured in fact a few blocks from where we live. A few days before I came back to Japan, the Macy’s at Southland Mall in Hayward was ransacked by young hoodlums who were able to escape. The case was in fact still under investigation when I left.
At least, I have not heard of such shooting spree being common in Japan because of a strict gun control.
BTW, if the above image is done by some scout ranger, could it be that they are now pulsing public opinion? Mahirap kasing kumilos sila tapos mapupurnada ang gagawin nila without the public supporting them like how the Thais were able to remove Thaksin to remove the Thaksil of the Philippines.
Tignan nga ang nangyari sa mga Magdalo. Let it not happen again, ang mabigo sila. And this time, ipakilala na ang tunay na lakas ng mga pilipino. Ipakita nang malaya sila. Hindi kailangan ang mga kano as a matter of fact!!!
Let me first say that I’m not stalking the above poster, but just sharing my own piece. A country with strict gun control law doesn’t always work. In UK, the British cops don’t carry guns but lately, there’s a rise in crime involving armed young black gangs. It’s reported on the papers. In Canada (Vic could attest to this), guns have also proliferated particularly in big cities like Toronto and Vancouver. There are as many gangs carrying guns in Toronto as those in the US. Recently, two young people were shot and killed while several others injured when two masked men went inside a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, Vancouver. Bike gangs like the Hells’ Angels also carry weapons and they are active in Montreal and other parts of Canada. And Canada has strict gun control law too.

Ellen,
I just read your new column in Malaya. Wow, ang tindi ng sulat sa iyo .
Golly, could this be the beginning of a round-up of credible journalists like you starting criticism of this blog using even yours truly as a scapegoat?
Frankly, I am preparing myself for a showdown as a matter of fact. I have contacted my friends in the media, police and the Diet on what is happening in the Philippines. Alam naman nila as a matter of fact.
I still have an open invitation in fact to join the fact-finding mission to the Philippines prior to the visit of the unano to Japan as a matter of fact. Akala kasi ng mga hambug, kaya nila lahat ng tao sa mundo!
But as a blogger has stated, hindi magtatagumpay ang mga kawalanghiyaan. Binibigyan lang ng leksyon ang mga pilipino na matoto, I guess. Sabi nga sa 2Kgs.17:338-39, “And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods. But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.”
Here’s a song I would like to share with you:
1. Let us all press on in the work of the Lord
That when life is o’er we may gain a reward.
In the fight for right, let us wield a sword,
The might sword of truth
(Refrain)
Fear not, though the enemy deride
Courage, for the lord is on our side
We will heed not what the wicked may say
But the Lord alone we will obey!
2. We will not retreat though our numbers may be few,
When compared with the opposite host in view;
But an unseen pow’r will aid me and you
In the glorious cause of truth.
3. If we do what’s right, we have no need to fear,
For our Lord, our helper, will ever be near.
In the days of trial, his saints he will cheer,
And prosper the cause of truth.
Off-topic but Malaya reports that the PNP is presenting 3NPA (daw) to testify that they have seen JJ Burgos abducted by the NPA. Wow, puede ba? Kung manloloko sila, puede ba maging credible sila?!
Parang sinabi nilang itinuro ng isang kriminal ang sarili niya sa pulis na siya ang salarin! Di bale kung sumukong kusa. Ang kaso sibilyan na tinakot na magpanggap na NPA!
Case solved? Ewwwwww! Please, kahit konti man lang common sense! Nak ng pating, mag-iimbento na lang naman, please iyong may common sense naman. Ang bobo naman!
Tawa ng tawa iyon mga kaibigan ko sa Tokyo Metropolitan Police nang ikuwento ko ang kabulastugang ito. Iyong isa napakamot pa ng ulo! Unbelievable daw!
To solve some, why not send all those behind bars to fight our wars. They know better. They have wisdom we respect. They are trained, they are more patriotic than anyone of us. I dont see any difference with those inserted into the military from the MNLF that were once the enemies of the state. I might even add to take volunteers from the jails. I’m sure they would want to show their mettles not only in dancing.
I am a little interested with the indemnity from the last war. Perhaps anyone can give a listing or at least how was the indemnity generously distributed? If it was not enough that it didnt reach little people like my grands, perhaps we can claim still like what some others did in an Hawaiian court to get a piece 0f the Marcos money.
Rose, the authors Lederer and Burdick wrote in The Ugly American the distasteful antics of their fellow Americans but not the abominable. Still, the book made the best seller list in the U.S. and made a splash here (where even a 10 year old gets furious). The ‘English’ question the Big Apple native asked was based on ignorance, curious about someone from the opposite side of the globe. You omitted stating your reply, but if you expressed what was in your mind at that moment the riposte would have brought the house down. I might add that you were lucky the questioner was not a native of Noo Joysee, the rustic side of the East Coast.
Siguro nga ay hindi pa busog ang mother buwaya. Paano kasi maraming binibigyan para lamang mapagtakpan ang kanyang mga kasalanan sa bayan. Mas busog siguro ang mga buwaya sa Tongress, kasi kada may issue laban sa kanya, lalo na ang impeachment, ay binubusog sila ng mother buwaya. Ganoon din sa Senado. Lalo ngayon na may Hello Garci inquiry, masyadong marubdob magtanggol ang mga kaalyado ni Pidal, binubusog din sila siguro ng mother buwaya.
Rose, a follow up on the Ugly American. It was reported that Lederer was accosted by an employee of the stuffy Manila Hotel where he was staying for being in informal attire. He was garbed in shorts and Atienza shirt with flowery prints. His answer, the attire is the national costume in Hawaii.
goji n yuko,

A friend just brought me a copy of Zaide’s Phil. History -6th edition: In the Preface, Dr. Sonia Zaide wrote:
..our nation is undergoing one of the worst socio-economic crisis in our modern history. The greatest enemy of our people is no longer the foreign invaders or colonizers from outside..the enemy is within-our corrupt and foolish leaders, the lack of unity and discipline of our people, the loss of our talented and skilled professionals, workers and artists who have gone abroad.
..never in the history of our people have so many left our shores for better job opportunities and social systems that they could not find here..This is a serious social cricis because we are losing our skilled and talented people, family members are separated and business and other establishment are deprived of good workers.
..the public debt of our government has more than tripled in the last ten years..Our people face serioius suffering and challenges in the years ahead.
..History shows that when societies experience major crisis their very existence is threatened, they need not only a new leader, or a new government, but also a new faith. We have to find the hope and reasons to believe in ourselves as people.
..The Philippines has the capability to be a great nation and to rise above tremendous challenges. God loves the Philippines, and God will bless this nation.” She also quoted a famous saying..”He who does not look back to where he came from will not know where he is going.”
yun din eh..huhulihin din lang pala si joma eh bakit ngayon lang..tagal-tagal na nilang alam kung asan..eh super tagal na nga sa netherland eh..alam naman ng gobyerno kung tuwing may matinding isyu papano nila lalaruin…fine nakuha nila si joma..bakit yung paghuli ba nila kay goma mababalik yung buhay ng mga namatay at maikakabit yung mga ulo ng napugutan? ngayon kung naibalik nila lahat ng damage sa dating situation..bibilib kami at yuyuko sa paan ng nasa gobyerno!
sorry wrong spelling- “crisis” and not cricis…serious and not serioius.
tita rose,
tama ka..”ang di lumingon sa pinanggalingan walang patutunguhan..”! pero sa kanila eto ang version “ang di lumingon sa pinanggalingan nagka-stiff neck naka “cast..”
Marami tayong magagaling na historian. and everyone of you will agree na iba ang Pinoy…lalo na pagdating sa praktikalidad..di na kailangan pang magaral ng iba’t-ibang kurso may hidden talent na lumalabas sa tamang panahon at pangangailan…kaso ang iba sa atin eh ayaw magpatalo..ungusan ng ungusan..lalo na pagdating sa ibang bansa sila-sila nagaaway-away, pero ang ibang nationalities solido nagtutulungan..sakit lang talaga tanggapin eh..pinoy sa kapwa pinoy! Kasi ayun nga balik tayo sa history…binabasa lang natin pero di pinag-aaralan…kung ang uupong lider makikita yung maliit na bagay na kung makikita niya na yung maliliit na bagay na yun na problema pag pinag-sasama-sama magkakaroon ng mas malaking problema. Ang liderato ngayon…wala eh pusong bakal na yun pundido pang bakal ang ginamit…adobe pa sa tigas ! Si Marcos namaga man ang “mukha” dahil sa sakit at kahit namaga..malambot pa rin pag hinipo…!
“History shows that when societies experience major crisis their very existence is threatened, they need … a new leader,”.

Rose, period na dito.
tita rose…
hehehe reho lang po tayo daming typo error..sencya muna sila tao lang…basta mahalaga importante andun yung message…nadadala tayo ng bilis ng daliri sa pagtype..me kasi di ko na binabasa eh submit agad…yaw ko na mag-correct pa intindihin na lang ng bumabasa..hehehehe
Chi…
sige period na..as in malaking tuldok…!
Gokusen:
Iyong description mo ang nakita ko sa mga videos, etc. na tina-translate ko for flash news sa Japan na nakakakulo ng dugo ko. I saw a picture in fact of two Filipino soldiers carrying the toiletries of a US soldier following them na akala mo amo nila during the Balikatan sometime in 2002. It made me sick. Tapos may litrato din ng mga pilipinong sundalo na kumakain Boys Scout style na nagiihaw ng isda (tinapa o daing, whatever) and eating with their hands noong kasamang kanin compared to the American soldiers eating packed meals na iniinit sa microwave katulad noong kinakain sa eroplano, sarap na sarap. When you see such contrast, it makes your blood boils lalo na nakakita na ako ng kinakain ng hapong sundalo at kinakain ng sundalong Amerikano bagamat iba ay parehong well-balanced!!!
Kaya damang-dama ko ang init ng damdamin ng mga Magdalo when they staged their mutiny. Dapat lang, sabi ko sa sarili ko. Too bad, niloko pa sila ni Cimatu, et al!
Meron pa ngang litrato ng isang mataas na rangkong AFP sundalo na nagpa-piggy back sa isang low-ranking soldier na puedeng madapa at malunod doon sa dagat na nagpakarga ang inutil. Dito iyan kahit na high ranking official ng Japan Self-Defense Force hindi puede iyon. May puedeng at hindi puedeng iutos sa mga mabababa ang rangko lalo na iyong nakakaalis ng dignity!!!
Gokusen,
Napanood mo na ba ang “Munich” ni Spielberg? Someone here mentioned about it in the previous thread.
Maganda ‘yan ay panoorin ng lahat ng sundalo. Huwag na lang si Gloria dahil hindi niya magegetsing, dolly lang naman tuloy s’ya!
Eeekkk, a dolly beast!
Gokusen: Si Marcos namaga man ang “mukha” dahil sa sakit at kahit namaga..malambot pa rin pag hinipo…!
*****
You bet, Gokusen, mahal niya ang bansa niya. “History will be kinder to me,” sabi niya dahil minahal niya ang bansa niya. Nagtatagalog kahit na nangangapa siya dahil ang native tongue naman niya ay Ilocano.
Totoo iyong istorya na hindi sila nagpapadala sa Hawaii, not even to Paoay. Ang sabi ng kamag-anak namin na nakasama nila dahil isa sa nagbabantay kay Apo ay groggy sila nang isakay sa eroplano kasi daw hinagisan sila ng tear-gas gun ng mga kano. Buti kay Erap walang ganoon. Napaligiran lang siya nina Enrile, Angara, Brenda, et al na mga traydor pala!!!
Anyway, what happened ay history na. Sana naman huwag nang hinohocus-pocus pa ang kasaysayan ng bansa. Papaanong matoto ang mga pilipino kung puro naman kabulastugan ang history ng bansa. Iyong old adage na “history repeats itself” ay para matoto ang mga tao ng tama at mali sa katotohanan ng kasaysayan ng bansa nila. Kaso karamihan sa kasaysayan na pinapag-aralan ng mga pilipino base lang doon sa report ni H. O. Beyer para sa Taft Administration nang sakupin ng mga kano ang Pilipinas. Siguro kung babawasan na ang fairy tales ni Zaide, baka mabawasan na rin ang pagmamahal ng mga pilipino sa America at mabuhos ng husto sa bansa nila.
Chi,
di pa eh..pero maghahanap ako kung may “pirated na cd” hehehe..yun lang kaya ng budget ko eh..gang pirated cd na tig 80pesos..solve solved na yun as in gang 8-12 na movies sa isang cd..tapos pag pinapanood sa barrio eh..isang movie per view singil namin 5pesos..! hehehe
yuko,
kung meron sa lahat sa kanila pinaka-hate namin si Enrile…at Ramos ! sila yung traydor sa bayan..sila yung nagpapagulo at gumugulo!
dagdag si reyna ng mga reyna!
Off topic,
Gokusen,
Ganun ba? Ganyan ako nakapanood ng sine sa Sitangkai a!
Anong movies ang gusto mo at kung meron ako dito sa bahay ay duplicate ko para sa iyo, malinaw ang dating. Kaya lang ay maghihintay ko pag-uwi ko dahil kung ipapadala ko sa mail ay siguradong mawawala.
Chi,
Hala eh ganun nga! gusto nila mga actions lalo na mga lalaki..yung mga babae eh, tagalog na alam mo na love story..mga kabataan haluan pero mahilig na sa mga jdorama at korean dito kasi nga sa mga tv stations dito mas click yun na dub sa tagalog! Ok lang magwait di naman masisira yun eh..at least di pirated fresh from chi’s cd burner…thanks ha!
Gokusen’
Wala akong Pinoy movie, korean or jdorama. Pero pasasalubungan kita ng puro action movies.
Ellen, sori sa off topic. meron lang akong bilin kay Gokusen.
Gokusen,
I almost forgot, I’m waiting for my cousin. I’ll also send some cds thru him.
I am not quite sure yet if we are talking symbolism or parables.. Some refer a lot about the stunted growth of the pseudo prexy or is she ingrown really? But I can account that to the highest form of nationalism. As royals, upon the intrusion of invaders long ago, they ran to the mountains for preservation. They heard of those left behind were pleading, shouting, cursing, shrieking with no let up day in and day out as the beasts bore upon them. Years later when normalcy was in sight the elitist came down and they found a new breed of more beautiful children. Those were cries of happiness, excitement and thrills pala.. Thus the ingrained discriminating culture became more pronounced
Gokusen,Goji and Ystakei:
United States knows how to take care it’s people, especially it’s military. U.S. Military can sacrifices a million dollars worth of equipment just to spare it’s soldiers life. There is no reason for the U.S. soldiers not to have good nutrition and accommodation because they are treated that way. If someone think that the GI’s mistreated the Pinoy soldiers that concept is misleading. In the military the soldiers respect ranks in bilateral exercises. The U.S. sergeant will salute a Philippine Military Lieutenant or any person who has a higher rank than him. Applying the concept of GI power to his Pinoy counterpart to carry his gear (such as his soap and toothbrush),that affairs is altogether questionable. In physics, power or force governs the behavior of objects. That is a misleading analogy for soldier’s affairs. Military have a rules of their own. They may not be cowed by military power or other forms of repression, that is a sound principle of military organization. Might is not right.
The U.S. Policy is not to declare war on the Moslem worlds, but, to fight terrorism; Terrorism is the ideal enemy because it is invisible and therefore never disappears. Having an enemy that poses a genuine and widely recognized threat can be very effective in holding the nation together. That is particularly useful when the prevailing ideology is based on the unabashed pursuit of self-interest. By fighting war on terrorism, We have come a long way from Franklin Roosevelt, who said that “We have nothing to fear but fear itself”. American supremacy is not only unsound and unsustainable, it is also in contradiction with American values. America is an open society. The principles of open society are enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. And the institutions U.S. democracy are protected by it’s Constitution. The fact that they have a bunch of far-right ideologues in the executive branch does not turn into a totalitarian dictatorship. There are checks and balances, and the president must obtain the support of the people. But in the end, open society and freedom will not survive unless those who live in it believe in it.
Gokusen: yuko, kung meron sa lahat sa kanila pinaka-hate namin si Enrile…at Ramos ! sila yung traydor sa bayan..sila yung nagpapagulo at gumugulo!
*****
Parehong Amboy kasi ang dalawang iyan. Pero ang alam ko mas malaki ang bayad kay Ramos nang ipinabagsak si Marcos. For some reason, pinatawad ni Apo si Enrile but not Ramos na kamag-anak niya sa ina. Somehow, may blood ties din kay Enrile ang pagkakaalam ko dahil sa Rubio line ng tatay ni Marcos. “Blood is thicker than water,” sabi nila. Kung mali ay mali, pero para sa mga kababayan niya, No. 1 pa rin siya!
The Filipino tiger with all its “power, courage, ferocity and strength ” is aptly described and illustrated.
Now, who will redeem our stolen Filipino dignity , when in the face of truth, the brave remaining sons and protectors of our motherland are chained by their own fear and unconcern while their honorable brothers are shackled, being sacrificed in the battlefields and their helpless countrymen continue to agonize under the misery of tyrannical rule?
Cocoy,
yup you have points.. yung sinasabi ko personal kong nakikita…kaya nga sabi ko may iba naman mababait..kasi sakit talaga sa mata eh..makikita mo kumpleto escort sila ng mga pinoy na sundalo..alagang-alaga sila tapos yung mga sundalo natin nag-iigib ng tubig nagtutulak ng kariton pang kuha sa ilang kilometrong poso o kaya sa sapa…pero yung scenario sa RTC ng Jolo talaga kakapikon eh..sasabihin pa you have to work the way we work..hello…!
Chi,
pinagbigyan ka na ni ms. ellen..hehehe…thanks!
Neonate: Tama ka..ignorance is the reason why many don’t know much of the Phil. I now live in Jersey City..and a lot of people worked in factories, Colgate, Western Electric or fashion factories..hanggang ngayon maraming factories dito..Until almost a year ago, I worked as secretary of an Italian church..and I had been asked where I learned English and why we Filipinos come to the US..and ang sagot-ko for the same reason that you Italian came here..But now they know more and more of the Pilipinos..at iba na ang templa..napamahal na and accepted na..
Maiba ako: hindi ba may nunal si GMA sa mukha..at medio round face siya..magandang target ang nunal at puede maglaro ng dart game..who wants to play dart.
zen2,
hindi alagang pusa ang simbolong ‘yun kundi musang, ang tanod sa gubat, simbolo ng walang simbilis na pag-atake sa kalaban.
simbolong binalasubas ng mga kumampi sa walanghiyang HUWAD na umaastang pangulong hindi naman hinalal ng taong bayan!
rose Says: “Mrivera: yong 150/day ay combat pay, hindi ba? Ang intindi ko dian ay combat pay kaya para lang sa nadeploy sa Basilan or Sulu.”
okey, payag ako. ‘yun lang nasa basilan at sulu ang bigyan niya ng dagdag sa combat pay. pero, papayag ba ang mga naka-assign sa ibang combat areas kung saan naghahasik din ng kaguluhan ang NPA? sige lang. tingnan natin kung hindi magkagulo nnag tuluyan.
ano ito, lokohan? ano ba ang pagkakaiba ng bala ng mga NPA at ng sa abu sayyaf at MILF na pilit kinakampihan ni gloria at sinisira ang MNLF?
“Maiba ako: hindi ba may nunal si GMA sa mukha..at medio round face siya..magandang target ang nunal at puede maglaro ng dart game..who wants to play dart.”
ha? bilog ba ang mukha ni gloria?
akala ko, mukhang TULISAN!
pero, magandang gawing dart target ‘yung langaw sa pisngi ng tumbong niya!
ay, mukha nga pala!
gokusen Says: “tita rose, tama ka..”ang di lumingon sa pinanggalingan walang patutunguhan..”! pero sa kanila eto ang version “ang di lumingon sa pinanggalingan nagka-stiff neck naka “cast..”
iba na ngayon.
ang hindi lumingon sa pinanggalingan, hindi makikita ang pigsa sa batok.
These japs, if they truly hate these american opportunists and rapists why are they not driving them away from their own soil instead of interfering w/ another country’s affair? Specially this bigoted japino (a fan of the apo), she has time to stage protest rallies against the president of the phils, yet, she’s not doing anything for her beloved country against american occupation in her own land even if their own women are being raped by these ‘bastards’(“mas depende ngayon ang mga kano sa Japan, militarily speaking!” my ass). The last time I read, she has her vacation in the land of milk and honey. Double speak eh? Ano ba talaga? She loves me, she love me not.
its just but right that they draw that black panther coz its the symbol used by the scout rangers on their uniforms. putting it on t-shirts and stickers would be a great idea. hope this court martial proceedings will end so that these military officers be in basilan where they are very much needed.
Rego: “these japs…” hayaan mo sila it is none of our business..we are all entitled to our own opinions (right or wrong)..
Mrivera: hindi ba naglagay siya ngayon ng mga sundalo sa Manila? Dapat bigyan rin niya ng 150/day. Kaya seguro nagpunta siya sa Kuala Lumpur para magsocialize at humingi ng abuloy..”limos” sa bisaya as in limousine. limous-ine pahigi. Salamat naman wala siyang ipinadala sa Panay (where her husband’s family is from. Mukhang tahimik sa amin at makalipad sa gabi..ang mga aeroplano sa amin. Marami na tayong laro ngayon..sipa, siya ang puck tayo ang sisipa..kickball..(mas maganda ito) siya ang bola (bilog naman siya at putot) and lets all kick the ball.. dart game.. let’s play kick ball now..
Yuko: Ang masasabi ko lang sa nananakot dito sa Ellenville.. ay do you think you can afraid us, far far away. At sa laki ng takot nila they will do anything..but the truth is the truth…
Who will redeem the Filipino dignity and honor? Walang iba kung hindi tayo na nagmamahal sa the land of our birth. Kung nakasemento ang mukha ng reyna sa kanyang inuupuan ngayon..tapunan ng acido ang mukha..o kaya sibakin! Axe her! O kaya kumuha ng isang wrecker…Palingkurin si Sen. Trillanes..kung hindi siya matataranta! BOOM! natataranta na! Her sins will haunt her. Ang sabi nga ni Lisa Doolittle..just you wait mr. ‘iggins just you wait..and more than that through our prayers a miracle will happen… just you wait..
Tita Rose,
I second the motion!
Yuko,
right iba ang nagbibigay ng opinion at iba ang namemersonal. opinion is open here..but not yung pamemersonal. Kasi nga di nila alam papano lusutan yung mga opinion na nagtuturo ng kasalanan dun sa nakaupo kaya ang ginagawa eh manggulo!
Ellen,
I think, the tiger symbol should be changed to a human form – preferably a soldier form. But that’s just me.
I do believe that the men of honors behind bars are capable of breaking that chain to redeem the honour of the lost institution, i.e., the AFP.
Yuko, please stop talking about internet brigader. Just discuss issues.
I’ll delete any item that mentions internet brigade.
OK, Ellen. No problem. I prefer to discuss issues as a matter of fact, and relate my own experience in the process but I cannot help answering back to clarify things especially with regards to these stalkers I call “Internet Brigade” which they are as a matter of fact. Mention of these stalkers is only to warn those who are not aware of them.
Rose: Her sins will haunt her. Ang sabi nga ni Lisa Doolittle..just you wait mr. ‘iggins just you wait..and more than that through our prayers a miracle will happen… just you wait..
*****
Wrong, Rose, the unano does not have a conscience, and even if her sins will haunt her, I doubt if she can be bothered at all! But I sure do believe in miracles, but miracles happen only to the deserving and those with faith.
Maganda ang T-shirt. Sana may kanya-kanyang version depende sa anong bansa. Why not also print them in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, Spanish? Kapag may ganyang T-shirt sa iba’t ibang lugar ng mundo, lalong makikilala ng mga taga ibang bansa ang ipinaglalaban natin.
Surotkati,
mas maganda siguro kung lagyan ng maraming surot yung buwaya ano? at dun sa tuktok ng ulo ng buwaya eh nandun yung pinakamalaking surot na sinasabi mo…manood ka na lang ng jumong! Kahit pa sa lahat ng parte ng buong mundo nakakalat ang mga Pilipino..at magkabuhul-buhol ang mga dila sa salitang banyaga eh pusong pilipino pa rin yan di na kailangan pang i=print ng kung anong nation..at di na natin kailangan magpakilala dahil kilala na tayo sa buong mundo lalo na gobyerno sa pagiging “corrupt” ! Kami may pinaglalaban yung maibalik ang dignidad ng mga Pilipino..ewan ko ikaw!
BTW, Ellen, have you checked the existence of the communication center headed by a crony of the Pidals and overseen by the daughter somewhere. That is in fact the basis of our suspicion of the existence of this Internet Brigade, and the purpose is obvious.
gokusen,
Nahahalata na ba ang kulay? At naaamoy mo na rin?
Luz,
Oo Nanghiram ako ng microscope sinilip ko, hirap ngang gamitan eh malikot, ayaw pasilip , nahulog pa nga kakaiwas makita sa lente eh kakaiwas nahulog, nung gagamitan ko ng tyani para pulutin at ibalik sa microscope hala napisa..umamoy..ang baho sakit sa ilong…! hehehehe
I favor a national protest as what the Chileans for instance has done the other day to demand for much more better services from their present government.
The protests in fact do not have to be concentrated only in Manila. They can be coordinated conducted all over the Philippines despite the threats, intimidations, etc., and should be conducted likewise against the kurakots the dictators in Manila have managed to install in the local governments. Hindi na puede ang pagtitiis sa wala.
The protests in fact do not have to be violent as what a lot many of my visitors from Manila have witnessed protests here are in most cases. Time to show the public servants who their real bosses are.
