Pagkatapos ng labin-dalawang taon na pakikilaban para maituwid ang mga mali sa textbooks na ginagamit ng ating mga kabataan, sabi ni Antonio Calipjo-Go,pagod at hihinto na siya.
Nakakalungkot ngunit hindi ko masisisi si Go.
Kaya, sa mga magulang na hindi man lamang umimik at hindi sumuporta kay Go, magtiis na lang kayo kung sa halip na magiging marunong ang inyong anak, ay lalong magiging bobo. Ganyan ang mangyayari kung hindi kayo kikilos at hayaan ang mga ganid na mangingibabaw.
Si Go, na nagtuturo sa Marian College, ang nag expose ng maraming mali sa textbooks katulad ng sinasabi na si Sun Yat Set ang nagsimula ng Communist party ng China. (Mali! Sina Mao Tse Tung), na ang may-ari ng mga lupa ay mga “warlords”, ang ang mga nagde-design raw ng mga mosque at mga kristiyano na mga arkitekto. Marami pa yun. Daang-daan.
Ngunit sa halip na pasalamatan siya sa kanyang tiyaga sa pagsuyod ng mga textbooks, siniraan pa siya. Nagkaroon siya ng kaso ng extortion na isinampa ng Phoenix Publishing at libelo na isinampa ng Vibal Publishing.
Sinasabi ng Department of Education na i-wasto nila ang mga mali, hindi naman ginagawa.
Mabuti sana kung ordinaryong libro lang yan. Textbooks. Yan ang tinuturo sa mga kabataan. Kwawa naman ang mga kabataan na nagtatyaga mag-aral, mali pala ang tinuturo sa kanila. Kawawa rin ang mga magulang na gumagastos ang nagpapakahirap para maisulong ang pag-aaral ng mga anak, mali pala ang natutunan ng mga anak. Sa halip na magiging marunong, nagiging bobo.
Kaya naman nagkakaganito dahil ang kinukuha ng mga publishing company na magsulat ng aklat ay mga pitpityugin na writers. Wala ring alam. Ang mga opisyal na nagre-review ng mga textbook ay mukhang hindi rin ginagawa ang trabaho. Pero sigurado, kumukulekta ng bayad. Ang inaatupag ng lahat na kasama sa mga textbook project ay kumita. Yan ang leksyon dito sa palpak na mga textbook.
Ang pahirap na dinanas ni Go ay pareho rin sa pahirap na dinadanas ni Rodolfo “Jun” Lozada, ang star witness sa NBN/ZTE deal. Libre si dating Comelec Chairman Benjamin Abalos na siyang promotor ng deal na maglilibing pa lalo sa bilyun-bilyon na utang ang mamamayang Pilipino kung hindi nahinto ng Senado.
Patuloy na namamayagpag si Gloria at Mike Arroyo na alam naman ng lahat na hindi nangyari ito lahat kung hindi niya aprubado.
Si Jun Lozada pa, kasama ang kanyang asawang si Violet, ang nahaharap ngayon sa maraming kaso.
Kaya para sa katotohanan at hustisya, kailangan talaga tibay ng loob at paniniwala.
Mr. Go has to go. How many like him ended up giving up? It’s because this evil government does not listen to legitimate complaints and grievances of the people; but is quick to punish those against it. This reminds us of some Magdalo soldiers who finally decided to strike a deal with the government. But, can we entirely blame them? We cannot expect all of them to be like Trillanes, Miranda and Querubin.
Many chose to be practical because of their needs; their families, future. Heroes are not born…they are made.
So sad that Mr. Go has given up fighting, but I can’t fault him. Hinahangaan ko pa rin sya!
That’s why people like Jun Lozada who’s still fighting is admirable. So is Sandra Cam. Another jueteng witness, a certain Mayor, is back to his jueteng operation in Bicol.
Lest that my opinion be misinterpreted as being an Erap supporter, what I’m going to say now is my own honest assessment of Dacer’s murder. Malacanang today is trying hard to bring back Mancao and Aquino to testify not only against Lacson but Erap. In fairness to Lacson, he was not aware of the murder…more so Erap. It was true Erap and Dacer had a misunderstanding over Dacer’s closer relationship with Ramos and Almonte. Then, Asistio accompanied Dacer to see Erap to settle the problem. It was settled. When Dacer was leaving Malacanang, he gladly told Lito Banayo that he (Dacer) and Erap were okay again. After two days, Dacer was murdered. Why would Erap or Lacson order the killing of Dacer when Dacer and Erap already settled their problem? Would it be more logical to presume that Ramos and Almonte were behind Dacer’s murder? Dacer could have revealed several sensitive things to Erap while they were settling the problem. Erap’s popularity keeps growing everyday. Erap remains to be the Evil Bitch’s biggest thorn politically.
It is all about money. Kung saan kikita ang mga buwaya, doon sila. It does not matter who gets sacrificed. Kung may mga anak sana ang mga ganid na ito sa mga public schools, they may care. But since they have all the stolen money to put their children into excellent schools, they are not bothered by the sub standard text books.
Many things started wrong in this world. Most of them are here in the Philippines. We never hit right education on its head. We are a brew of confusion of brains. We dont really care correcting small things like gross errors in books, are we serious then in correcting our charter? Next guy seated at the barbershop asked, What charter?
Inspite of our sub standard education, over 10 million OFWs are employed all over the world in different professions, some in technical and management positons. If we have a better system, imagine how much more we can achieve!
Wala na nga si Mr. Go. Go is gone. Libre na ang mga manunuhol ng Vibal at Phoenix na mag-supply ng libro sa mga eskwelahan na walang katiyakang tama ang nilalaman. Sa susunod na edisyon ng mga libro may bago nang laman.
Sibika Para sa Matatag na Bansa, by Ignacio Bunye, 1st Ed. ©2015, Phoenix Pub. :
“Ang Pangulong Arroyo ang nagdala ng kaunlaran sa Pilipinas sa buo niyang panunungkulan kaya nung malapit nang matapos ang kanyang termino, lumakas ang panawagang palitan ang Konstitusyon na siya namang tinugunan ng mga Kongresista kung kaya’t naging legal ang pagiging pangulo ni PGMA hanggang sa kasalukuyan.
Patuloy naman ang pag-unlad kung kaya’t ang malalaking proyektong katulad ng Northrail na matatapos na sa 2021, ang C-5 extension na nakaplanong matapos sa 2018, pati na ang komputerisasyon ng Comelec na naisagawa nung 2014 at ang pagkakabit-kabit ng lahat ng opisina ng pamahalaan sa pamamagitan ng internet ay matatapos na sa 2020.
Siya rin ang nakagawa ng paraan upang ang mayorya ng mga Pilipino ay makapagtrabaho sa iba’t ibang bansa sa pamamagitan ng pagiging OFW na sa kasalukuyan ay meron nang 50 milyon sa buong mundo.”
Hindi lang sa Primary ang may problema, pati na rin sa College.
In Physics, Law of Thermodynamics is the worst of all lies. Einstein’s E=mcc is another.
All prevailing technologies which are the direct result of this costly mis-education do not conform to Nature’s Will and are therefore destructive.
Read something about Viktor Schauberger – his Science is not only easier to understand, but more profound than everybody else combined.
In short, di lang spelling at kabobohan ng author ang problema, pati na rin ang mga theories na kanilang pinag-aralan.
Happy Birthday, sa magiting na Gen. Miranda!
Let me share this letter from a High School teacher who graduated Cum Laude in BS Education from the University of Lubao, Pampanga. She is now teaching English in Pampanga National HS.
How’s his health? I hope he’s fine.
Tongue, I heard the University of Lubao also offers BS in Jueteng Administration.
Tongue, when I said over 10 million OFWs are working all over the world in all capacities, I did not mean that we educate Filipinos only to be employed in other countries. If other countries value Filipinos as employees inspite of their higher standards, it means Filipinos must have some qualities better than others. Imagine if our very own country improves our education system and RETAIN our educated people, where will be now?
TT:
You have a talent.
Of course, i’ve noticed that fact long time ago.
tongue, ang galing naman nyang nag compose ng sulat na yan.
whether totoo man yan o hindi (fiction kung baga, :-), seriously though, we have to recognise that most graduates in the philippines nowadays can write grammatically correct paragraphs. if not text-speak, they would just go on taglish! it hurts to say that, but that is a fact.
that’s the sorry state of graduates the corrupt educational system has produced. tsk tsk tsk…what a waste.
opps, i meant:
most graduates in the philippines nowadays can BARELY write…etc…
nagmamadali mag type eh 🙂
Off topic: Nasaan na ba talaga si Bulate? In the news I just read, Gordon pulled out the senate guards kasi daw may anim na police na nagbabantay na kay Bulate but the Police ni Pidal says na wala naman daw silang inassign na mga guards ni Bulate. Hay naku, mukhang naisahan na naman and Senado ah. Unless I just read an old news and now Bulate is with the senate na.
Texting is a very bad habit dahil puro short cut lang.
And abbreviations!
Mahirap gawin yang letter mo ah, Tongue!
Gee, ano ba yan? Ang isang Mayor ng Cagayan inambush and then another Mayor in Rizal pinatay. Is this the peace and order that the evil bitch is boasting about?
ang sabi sa news update, nagpalipat si bolante from the senate clinic at ngayon nasa senate detention room DAW. nagreklamo nga daw na maingay ang nasa ground floor.
aba, swerte talaga ng taong ito. pera ng taong bayan ang nagbabayad sa security detail niya dahil nga daw sa mga death threats. kung ordinaryong pilato ang hihingi ng police protection, siempre hindi pagbibigyan…pero si bolante, hayun at on rotation ang security detail niya. hehehe. yan ang tinatawag na talagang maswerte!
*&^%$$^&&& nanggagalaiti ako!!! kailan pa ba matatapos ang lahat ng nangyayaring katarantaduhan sa pilipinas dala ng curse ni gloria?
ganyan naman parati eh, kung sino yung gumagawa ng tama at nagsusuplong ng mga mali, sila yung napapahamak. Mabuti sana kung may sumusporta sa kanila, paano kung halos wala rin. Kaya marami ang mga pasibo dahil tingin nila, wala na ring magagawa kung gagalaw pa sila..
http://fjordz-hiraya.blogspot.com
Alam nyo mga ka-blog?
Dito kung saan ako nagtatrabaho, meron ng sabog ang utak bago pa man pumutok yung mga scandal sa textbooks na iyan.
Tapos siya ng Law sa UST. Namumula pa nga yung transcript nya eh. Meron din siyang CPE dahil kumuha siya ng teaching units para maging teacher. Ang alam kong ibig saibhin ng CPE eh, Certified Public Entertainer, lalo na kung magaling kang magpatawa.
Minsan, tinanong siya ng school director kung bakit siya nagsuspinde ng klase kahit hindi umulan. Ang sagot niya ay “kasalanan ko po ba na hindi bumagsak ang ulan.” Buti na lang at hindi niya maipasa yung bar exams kasi kung nagkataon, may peryahan sa loob ng mga court of justiis habang nandoon siya at ipinapahamak yung kanyang kliyente.
Ito ang matindi. Di po ba, ang promotion ng general ay 3 hanggang 5 taon ang pagitan? O depende sa performance?
Multiplication tayo. May 12 months sa 1 taon. 4×12=48. Ipalagay ko na lang na 30years na siyang laging napopromote, so 48×30=1,440. 1,440stars??? Kagilagilalas! Iyan ang ranggo niya sa kayabangan. Still counting pa po yan.
bitchevil Says: Tongue, I heard the University of Lubao also offers BS in Jueteng Administration?
So, BE…posibleng may Master o DJA sa school na yan, kasi nga grabe ka talamak ang jueteng diyan sa Pampanga.
May jueteng Lord na sila e may pekeng presidente pa? Lahi sila talaga ng MAKAPILI at MAKABILI, kaya ang Pinas eh lugmok na sa pasakit at kahirapan ng loob.
…Patuloy ang pagbobo ng Pilipino?
Ng dahil ba sa mababaw na panulat ng mga may-akda nito o baka naman sa mga guro or professors na nagsisipagturo nito?
Gusto ko sanang bigyan liwanag ang issue na ito, masyadong broad ang pag-uusap kung ang pagbabasihan e few of these books na may errors ang texto.
Ang nangyayari sa ating bansa e di dapat isisi sa mga librong ating ginagamit…bakit ka mo, sapagka’t salamin lamang ito upang maging gabay sa ikatututo sa anumang larangan ng sensiya.
Ang kaso, naka focus sa libro ang mga intellectuals natin pero ang di nila pinagtutuunan ng pansin yaong mga gumagamit nito.
Ang edukasyon sa Pinas e TOTOONG bumaba ang kalidad dahil nga ginawa na itong negosyo at malaking pagkakakitaan?
Ang masakit dito, ano ba ang magandang ginawa ng gobyerno sa pagpapaulad ng edukasyon sa ating bansa? Remember nýo ba yong scam sa Kagawaran ng Edukasyon? Sa halip na yong budget para sa walang enough rooms na paaralan e doon ginamit ang pondo sa mga maayos namang paaralan? Kita nýo ang kabulukan ng sistema sa ating gobyerno.
Ngayon e isisisi nila sa mababang kalidad ng paglilimbag ng mga libro ng kung sinong mga authors ang gumawa nito. Ang bottom line ng kapalpakang ito e sa gobyerno pa rin kasi nga wala kasing mandate ang pekeng panggulo at mga alipores na itinalaga sa alin mang sangay ng gobyerno.
Sino ngayon ang BOPOL, di ba itong mga alipores na itinalaga sa lahat ng sangay ng gobyerno na nagdudunung-dunungan e wala namang binatbat.
Sayang ang kanilang diploma sapagka’t masahol pa sila sa taong walang pinag-aralan dahil nasa talampakan ang dunong nila.
Buti pa yong mangmang na Pinoy, kahit paano e may dignidad sa sarili at takot gumawa ng masama sa kanyang kapwa-tao (exemption to the rule), ang ahas di nawawala kahit saan mang gubat!
Kawawa naman tayong mga Pinoy. Lalo na ang mga kabataan. Napakagaling magtayo ng katotohanan ni gloria at sampu ng kanyang mga alipores. What really caught my attention is Bunye’s “sibika” edition_Thanks Toungue, which boast nothing but LIES.
They have introduced lies into the mindset of the innocent
children. Hoping that history would judge gloria as the best president that the country has ever had. When in reality and TRUTH, she the worst. Hindi ba anak sa labas ni
Diosdado itong si Gloria? Pardon my ignorance on Disodado’s
contribution to the Philippines. Would appreciate a lesson on this if need be. Geez, bakit ba naging politician ang pesteng gloria na ito?! The Philippines must have been cursed. Bakit tayo hinayaan na magkaroon ng ganitong klaseng tao, upang mamuno ng ating bansa? Punyemas!!!
I am hoping that it would not be too late to re-introduce to the children the TRUTH on what gloria arroyo really has done to the Philippines and her people. BS talaga itong si Bunye, he knows that these would be taught to our children, and he is very much aware that what he has written is farthest from the the truth.
Kung talagang wala na silang dangal, sana naman ay huwag na nilang gawing mang-mang ang mga kabataan. Mga musmos pa sila at hindi nila kayang protektahan ang kanilang mga sarili. Kaya, sana tayong mga nakakatanda at may isip na, at may kayang ituwid ang mga kalokohan ng pamahalaan, tayo dapat ang magtulong-tulong, para sa kinabukasan ng ating mga musmos na mag-aaral. Dapat sana tayo ang MAGTAMA NG MGA MALI ng mga salamangkerong tao sa gobyerno.
Gregorio F. Zaide, Camilo Osias, are their books still being taught in our schools? Especially in the provinces? Just a question on that.
I really hope and pray that we get out of this damn pit that we are presently experiencing.
We must eradicate the whole shebang that these politicians are feeding us with, especially to the innocent children.
We need to overhaul our country, and really, really, really
punish all the politicians who has done the country wrong. No Exceptions. The whole rotten bunch of them.
I emphatize with Mr. Go, and appreciate what he was trying to do. Couldn’t blame him for abandoning his crusade. But with our support, I think Mr. Go would be able to continue what he is trying to do. If anyone has link or way of getting in touch with Mr. Go, please do let me know.
Eto pa ang cute: May Pork Barrel din ang CHED! Is this true?
I think I am unable to write a better response to this, as I am overwhelmed by disgusts and “gigil”. I shall post a better one later. apologies.
The best that Mr. Go can do now is to go online, and continue to expose those grave academic errors.
That’s the smartest way he can gain massive support.
out of topic lang po.pero ganun pa din ” patuloy ang pagbobobo ng pilipino” ibang bagay lang po.!! i was watching news here in TFC, about the meeting of oil players and the association of public utilities being presided by sec reyes.. but before hand, let me share to you the situation of oil prices here in usa.. dito po sa california ang halaga po ng gasolina ay $1.80 per gallon, and that is 3.8liters. $1.80 per gallon at ps 50.00 per $1.00 that is ps90 per gallon and you divide it by 3,8.. that is ps 23.69 per liter..i was wondering bakit po tayo patuloy na ginagawang bobo ng mga kapwa nating filipino.. i was surprised at the statement of one mr. martinez saying that, wala daw dapat makapag dikta sa kanila kung mag kano ang dapat nilang kitain.. di ba pilipino siya..ganun na ba sila ka siba sa kita, maski mag hirap na ang sam bayanang pilipino, and one mr kanapi saying that, the king of saudi said that the real price of crude oil is $70 to $80, kaya di pa sila sigurado kung magbababa sila. as of now, the oil in world market is $ 46.00 and the trend is going down,ang tingin namin sa mga oil companies diyan ay parang mga drug lord na parang sila lang ang me karapatang magtinda ng gasolina, bakit sa halip na ayusin ni mr reyes ay kanya pang pinagagalitan ang mga asosasyon ng pang publiko, talaga bang wala na silang malasakit sa taong bayan??
panahon na para gumising tayo at huwag mag papabobo sa mga taong ito..manhid na ba talaga ang mamamayang pilipino?? baka isang araw gumising tayo at maloko nanaman tayo ni GMA at mga demonyong alipores niya na sobrang ganid sa kapangyarihan..this people are so greed and so evil just to stay in their stolen power..!! let us all unite and put this evil to where they belong..HELL and at JAIL..!!
i have always believed good teachers produce clever students but that is with the assumption that the textbooks are alright.clerical errors can be explained by good teachers but with the kind of textbooks described above even the best teachers will have no chance to produce good students.
Please allow me to reprint a letter from one of the Conservatives MP regarding the Plan Takeover of our Minority Government and our Counter plans of preventing the Takeover of the agreed Coalition of the Opposition…Petitions have been going around, but in the end it will be on the Court of the Governor General, representing the Queen to Decide the outcome… our immediate plan is to ask the GG to prorogue the current sesion of the Parliament until late January where the Party can introduce the Economic Measures and another Throne Speech to re-start the new Parliament. The PM will ask the GG tomorrow to suspend the session.. May she be guided rightfully.
Dear Friends;
Many of you have been contacting me to express your outrage at the anti-democratic actions the Opposition is moving forward with. I share your views that these actions, at this time of economic crisis, show nothing more than an inherent sense of entitlement, partisan selfishness and a naked grab for power.
Less than 2 months ago Canadians gave our Conservative government a strengthened mandate in which we made it clear that we will continue to address the global economic crisis. Now, a Socialist-Separatist-drive
n coalition is attempting to overturn the results of the last election. They are attempting to impose a radical new Government without the people’s consent, led by Stephane Dion, who Canadians resoundingly rejected as their choice for Prime Minister. This is an attack on Canada and an attack on Canadian democracy.
Internationally under a Socialist-Separatist coalition, I fear Canada will return to solving foreign affairs issues by offering lip service and tokenism. During a global economic crisis, Canada needs leadership. The principled leadership demonstrated over the past three years by this government and this Prime Minister is not likely to be emulated by the current band of political opportunists.
Under Stephen Harper’s leadership, our government was ahead of the curve in anticipating the global economic slowdown. We are injecting billions in stimulus through tax cuts, investments in roads, bridges and infrastructure, and we have made decisive moves to protect the banking system.
While we have been working on the economy, the opposition has been working on a backroom deal to overturn the results of the last election without seeking the consent of voters.
They want to take power, not earn it.
Liberal Party leader Stephane Dion was unequivocal during the recent election that the NDP is “economically-damaging”, and their policies would have horrific consequences for Canadians. He campaigned explicitly against a coalition.
The Liberal Party and its leader, Stephane Dion were rejected by voters less than 2 months ago. After receiving its lowest share of the popular vote since Confederation, the Liberal Party does not have a mandate to lead a government. They don’t have a mandate for a coalition with the NDP. Their Socialist-Separatist-driven coalition is a betrayal of democracy and a betrayal of Canadians.
This is clearly unacceptable for a modern democracy.
Canada’s government should be decided by Canadians.
Not backroom deals.
It should be your choice.
Not theirs.
It’s time to Stand up for Canada!
Please join me on Saturday December 6 from noon-2pm at a soon to be disclosed location in Toronto as democracy-loving Canadians from coast-to-coast gather to support democracy, not political games in this time of crisis.
Sincerely,
The Honourable Peter Kent, P.C., M.P.

Only in the Pinas Norpil, walang ngipin ang batas na umiiral sa ating bansa…selective lang ito, but yong malalaking isda untouchable sige ka!
Remember mo pa ba yong scam sa Korea, ganito ang pangyayari… nabuking ng awtoridad na ito palang mga officials na naggraduate kuno sa Pinas eh sa Recto University pala galing ang mga diploma?
Ang laking iskandalo ito sa Korea, akalain mo mga opisyals na senstive ang hawak na pwesto eh graduate pala ng RU – Manila, Philippines? Yaks, ganito katalamak ang illegal transactions sa ating bansa? Ano ang ginagawa ng mga awtoridad? Di ba papogi point lang at ang kinakaya lang eh yong maliliit at pobre ng dahil sa walang makain o kaya magamit sa pang bisyo eh mang hoholdap o kaya mang dukot.
Bakit di nila upakan yong mga utak ng economic sabotage at yong mga magnanakaw sa kabang-yaman ng bansa?
Go fought for “12 LONG YEARS” my friends, 12 long years – grabe, who can beat that? Who among the present crop of opposition and supposed reformers has that degree of commitment? Sayang tong taong to talaga…
How can you go up against giants like V, R, and P when they can sabotage any other winning bidder’s chances of collecting? Ikaw ba naman hindi maka kolekta ng 200M for two years kung hindi tataob ang negosyo mo?
Somebody should look at the material used in these books also, cheap uncoated woodfree paper made from pulp illegally sourced (rain forest, illegal logging, etc) but priced in the level of European paper. These suppliers don’t have Forest Stewardship Certificates (FSC) or Chain of Custody Certificates certifying these were produced under “sustainable” practices thats why they can’t sell to big markets like the US and Europe, so they dump it on our shores where “corruption” laps it up greedily.
I could understand if Go is fed up already, it seems like nobody cares. Where are the “well-meaning” presidentiables? senators? congressmen? this is a fight worth taking, it affects the future of our youth!
There were so many reports about DECS already, millions worth of computers rusting in a warehouse somewhere, and how much is the education budget, its very big actually because its supposed to be a “priority.” I don’t think anyone was called by the Ombudsman for this. Its really strange since its easy to get proof/evidence, just get copies of the books, I believe they’re still using the same ones since 12 years ago…
Nice statement vic, but ang kaso eh only few of our kababayang Pinoys have access or knowledge in foreign affairs political issues.
Kita mo si Golezin, ng ibuka ang bibig sumemplang pa…eh magbigay ba naman ng kumento about Thailand so hayon pinutakte ng sopla itong kilay-less ng Malacanang?
Ang problema na ating kinakaharap sa larangan ng pampulitikan buhay at karanasan eh mahirap natin ihanap ng solusyon na galing sa ibang bansa.
Bakit ka mo, kasi ganito yon… ang kulturang Pinoy ay unique at kakaiba sa kanino mang bansa, may sarili tayong diskarte na tayo lamang ang maaaring makaresolba nito sapagka’t mapagtanim ang sama ng loob ang Pinoy at di kaagad marunong magpatawad.
Sa pulitaka dapat sport lang ang laban, may nagwawaga at mayroon naman natatalo… so dapat pagkatapos ng eleksyon eh sama-samang magtatrabaho at wala nang personalan. Ang hirap sa iba nating kababayan, walang kasiyahan sa buhay…ang gusto kasi e maghari-harian sa buhay at lalo na sa kanilang balwarte.
Kita mo sa Mindanao at ilang parte ng Pinas, ang mga pulitiko sa kanilang lugar e akala mo kung sinong umasta, kasi nga ipinagyayabang nila na may impluwensiya at pera sila upang gamiting pang busabos sa kapwa-Pinoy.
Eh kung pumalag ang Pinoy, dito umiiral ang giyera patani at ubusan ng lahi, yan ang nangyayari sa Mindanao at di ba gayundin sa ilang parte ng Cavite at ibang lugar sa Pinas.
Kaya ang Pinoy lang ang magkakaresolba ng ating problemang pang pulitika!
Ang pagmamahal sa kapwa-Pinoy ang solusyon sa ating mga bakahin sa buhay…malalagpasan natin ito kung matututo tayong magpatawad at tumanggap ng pagkakamali sa buhay.
juggernaut says: Go fought for “12 LONG YEARS” my friends, 12 long years – grabe, who can beat that?
Unique di ba J…yan ang katangian ng Pinoy, matiisi sa buhay…kahit na iyong inaalimura o inaapakan ang pagkatao eh naka smile lang!
Dapat ang kaugaliang ito e dapat na mabago at magkaroon naman ng konting dangal kahit papaano? Ang napakasakit nito e yaon pang kapwa-Pinoy ang bumubusabos sa kapwa-Pinoy…grabe na talaga at nakapagpapanting ng tenga?
Dito sa abroad yang mga pesteng lapdogs ng arroyo regime e akala nila sikat sila, di nila alam na kung gaano kaliit ang tingin sa ating Pinoy eh gayundin sa kanila. Kahit na mag-americana sila eh pango pa rin ang kanilang ilong, so wa epek ang kanilang datung kahit na bilyon ito.
Kita mo, ang baba ng rate nang pasahod sa Pinoy sa alin mang bansa sapagka’t pag ang pasaporte mo eh Pilipinas, wag kang aasa na magiging kaparahas mo ng sweldo ang ibang banyaga.
Ok lang kung ang passport mo eh may agila, sure untochable ka at malaki ang pa sweldo.
Kwento nang ilang kong friends sa Middle East ang pasweldo sa Nurses na Pinay eh around 3 to 4 thousand Riyals (sa private hospitals 2T lang), but ang Malaysian, African, at iba pa eh ang minimum 6 thousand Riyals…ang American and Canadian = 13T; Brits & Aus = 9T…kita mo ang laki ng differences.
Wala kasing “K” ang pasaporteng Pinoy, but sa trabaho ang Pinoy eh hard worker compare sa ibang banyaga.
balweg, actually today and this very moment the PM is in conversation with GG and we are all waiting for the outcome of their talk. If and when the GG refused the request the Govertment will cease to exist by Monday, when the opposition plan to defeat its first measure and they opposition will ask the GG (their turn) to form a Coalition Government and that is for her to decides again as an Election was just held last Oct. 14. I wish we can have another Election and then if the result the same, they oppositions can start the Parliament with their Coalition instead of Taking Over thru the Backroom Deals, which I believe is borderline Undemocratic.
What Vic and other Canadians fear most is the Quebec Bloc as part of the coalition since this group is a separatist group.
The problem with Parliament is that the PM could easily be replaced by majority votes.
Balweg, a Philippine passport is treated with suspicion whenever a Filipino travels. Many of my friends hide their RP passports at the airport. If you carry US passport, it’s like a status symbol; but these days Americans are scared to display their passports due to America’s enemies around the world. Canada’s passport is better respected. Many white Americans pretend to be Canadians when they travel.
balweg, my elder sister way back in the early 80’s worked in Saudi as a Canadian Nurse and she was paid at the time when the Saudi was still awash with so much money more than she makes at Sick Kids Hospital with free board and two months paid vacations round trip tickets equivalent to her home country and no TAX. she stayed for 8 long years and passed the job to her friend and classmate. they are both retired now and spend their time in the Philippines a lot of time.
vic,
qouted from http://news.aol.com/article/canadas-pm-faces-political-crisis/267137!
The opposition accuses Harper of not having a solid plan to help the economy? This is the main issue why the canadian opposition party revolted against the incumbent PM…nic move from the opposition side coz’ this is their duty to protect their country from inept leader.
Sana ganyan din sa Pinas ang kaso ang oposisyon eh watak-watak (may leftist; centrist; balimbing; trapo; elitist society; CBPC kotra-fellow; sobra at kulang sa pansin etc. etc.)
Kaya mahirap mangyari ang inaasam-asam natin na sipain si Gloria. Kung ang militar, kapulisan at sa sobrang taas ng Korte Suprema e patas sa paggawad ng hustisya sa ating bansa di sin sanay di tayo aabot sa mga problemang ito na ating kinakaharap.
Wala sanang Gloria labandera at pahirap sa bayan! Yan ang gusto nila so be it… magtiis tayong lahat! Kaya kailangan wag nating iaasa ang ating kapalaran sa gobyerno sapagka’t wala tayong kapupuntahan kundi sakit at pahirap ang dadanasin nating lahat.
Tuloy ang buhay…pasasaan ba ang lahat ng ito ay may katapusan!
One thing that seems to be unfair but nonetheless a policy in the Middle East that favors US and Canadian citizens is that they get paid in dollars while Filipino nurses are paid in pesos. As a result, some Filipinos who immigrated to the US and Canada after becoming citizens return to Saudi to work and get paid in dollars. This is true not only in medical profession but other professions as well.
Matatalino ang pinoy (kahit sa kalokohan) pero gusto ni Gloria na maging super bobo tayo para maloloko niya tayo habang siya ay buhay!
Imagine, pati mga teachers ay nabobobo ng husto dahil sa mali-mali ang nakalagay sa textbooks. Yun pa namang iba ay bookish, hindi makaturo ng walang libro. So, kung mali ang nasa libro, e di mali rin ang itinuturo ng teacher at sa huli ay mali ang natututunan ng mga bata. Domino effect…
Twelve long years of commitment to right the wrong in our textbooks, Mr. Go is a patriot.
balweg, the opposition with the instigation of the NDP had already been conspiring with the Liberal before the Minister of Finance told the House, that the Full Economic Measures will be included in his Annual budget to be introduced by next February which is now forwarded to January 27. But during the Election campaign, the Finance Minister had already bought out the Bank Mortgages worth $80 Billions to give them that much liquidity and is now negotiating with the Province of Ontario in regards to Auto Industry Bail Out.
But if you have a minority Government and a Liberal Leader resigning in May for bringing his party to defeat last Election in terms of seat and popular votes and only the Second in the Party History not to become the Country PM, a few months in the office is a Great Temptations. Stephan Dion is a man like others, full of great envy…
I wonder if this Stephan Dion is related to singer Celine Dion. Anyway, I never like this Liberal Party leader Dion. His English sucks !
i totally agree what chi just said.
good news, the GG has agreed to PM request to suspend the Parliament to give the Government the time to work on the economic plan,and also to review the proposed cutbacks on campaign fundings for political parties. comes January if the oppositions still want to take over, then the GG may call an election, instead of allowing the Coalition to take over.
I would suggest strongly if ever we will win a Majority or back in Government to propose a Bill that will guarantee a minimum tenure of a minority Government with agenda to be worked out with oppositons and a fixed election for a majority Government. this election every so often is so expensive for the campaign contributors. Note: candidates can not spend more than any individual. campaign and party’s funds can only come from individuals with strict limits and government in the forms of rebates and direct fundings.
BE, Dion is very common French name. they are not related.And Dion is a French citizen too, that is why he speaks very fluent french but poor english..but officially we are bilingual, so it is not an issue.
Canada is a bilingual nation; but I notice that many of her leaders speak French most of the time. Even when they speak in media, domestic or abroad, they keep speaking in French even if the audience are predominantly English speaking. One time, I was turned off by Harper’s frequent use of French in the US where Americans understand English.
BE, when the PM speaks in other countries he also speaking for the listeners to his home country and has to do in both languages, that is the protocol and the tv back here has to translate both according to which station is based. so they all have to do it twice.
but that is only applicable for the Federal Government and its employees. Provincial governments are not obligated.
Thanks Vic. I prefer that Canada has one common language, English. It’s divisive to have two languages. Also, I wonder why Canadians have to pay respect to the Queen of England. It looks to me that Canada does not have her own cultural identity.
Speaking of one common language BE,
Does the United States have an official national language? NO! Look @ http://ask.yahoo.com/20011107.html
The United States does not have an official language;[2] however, the majority of the population speaks English as a native language.
Source:http://en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Languages_in_the_United_States
53 UN-member nations have English as their official language, why hasn’t America? 85 percent of Americans (including a majority in every subgroup) favor doing so. Even more interesting, more than 2/3 of Hispanics favor it, and 91% of foreign-born Latino immigrants agree that learning English is essential to succeed here.

What I was referring to was a country’s official language. A country may have many languages spoken by ethic groups, but it must have one official language. That’s why I’m not in favor of so called bilingual policy. In the US, when we speak of bilingual, we mean English and Spanish. The problem is many Latinos who became American citizens do not even speak a word of English. In Canada, if you go to Vancouver especially Richmond, there are many Chinese-Canadians who also don’t speak English. You would be surprised to see many commercial establishments and malls that are even written in Chinese as if you’re in Hong Kong or China. This is not correct.
This is one of several reasons why I lost trust in our Politicians. I would rather gamble with the Boy Scouts like Gen. Lim and Sen Trillanes.
And it’s not a fight worth taking, but it’s the only battle we have to fight. Dahil once mulat na ang tao sa katotohanan, sila na mismo ang maghahatid sa mga Shenanigans na ‘to into literal absolute oblivion.
Again, WE DON’T NEED Politicians in order to survive.
Mabubuhay pa rin tayo kahit wala sila.
Patunay lang iyan na peke din ang demokrasya sa Pilipinas. At duda akong naiintindihan nga ng maraming pilipino ang ibig sabihin niyon.
Baka nga patuloy pa rin na itinuturo halimbawa sa mga pilipino na maliit ang utak ng mga Africano kaya nga maraming mga pilipino in fact ang nag-turn coat nitong eleksyon sa Tate dahil wala silang tiwala kay Obama.
Ako din sa totoo lang nadiskubre ko nang matagal na maraming mali ang itinuturo sa Pilipinas nang magkaroon ako ng pagkakataon na makapag-aral sa ibang bansa. Kaya nga hindi na umasenso ang Pilipinas, at idinadaan na lang sa yabang at pangungurakot ng mga lider daw na magnanakaw at kurakot gaya ni Gloria Macapalmukha.
Kawawang bansa!
Pakiramdam ko sa College Education natin, parang hinahabol mo lang iyong papel.
Naalala ko lang noong araw, sabi ng Calculus teacher naming si Engr. Ouano sa USC, “Kahit hindi kayo papasok sa klase ko, basta tuwing Biyernes ay kukuha ka ng Quiz, ok lang sa akin.”
Kaya ginawa ko, sa science library na lang palagi kasi di naman nya sinasagot ng maayos ang tanong namin.
Puwede palang mag-self study, dahil wala namang magandang laboratory facilities, bakit ka pa mag-suweldo ng teacher o magbayad ng school tuition para matuto?
Lugi.
Did Oscar Dela Hoya say Manny Pacquiao look like King Kong? Around him are two monkeys, Chavit Singson and Lito Atienza.
Sumpit,
Ang masteral di nga pumapasok. Lalo na si Pacquiao. Trabaho wala ring pasok tulad ni Atienza. Savings pa tayo kung wala ng pasok mga bata sa school. Buhay naman mga karamihan walang pinagaralan. Sa internet no absences. Sa simbahan, no absences at bigay pa sila. Sa rally kikitana mga tao. Tayo lang colegiala at below age sa quezon ave at cubao cuarta na. Lalo na si kumpare di nga nag-aral.
I got an idea which others may not agree. If Pacquiao wins, people go out in the streets pretending to celebrate his victory but Malacanang doesn’t know it’s already People Power.
What do you think?
Talagang ang gusto ng mga ganid na mga taong gobyerno ay manatiling bobo ang mga tao para walang aangal sa mga kagarapalan nila. Wala ng nangyari o nakasuhan sa mismanagement ng mga educational funds, katulad ng CAP.
Excellent idea BE!
People can carry banners and cards that say “Congratulation Manny”. I’m sure the cops will celebrate with these people unaware that they are anti-GMA. Then, they could cross Mendiola to Malacanang. The Presidential Security would all be smiling and celebrating with the people. As crowd grows into hundreds of thousands and million, people suddenly shout “Gloria Resign”.
Martina: Talagang ang gusto ng mga ganid na mga taong gobyerno ay manatiling bobo ang mga tao para walang aangal sa mga kagarapalan nila.

Sinabi mo pa. Kasi pag bobo, madali nilang maloko. Pero pag alam ng mga pilipino na may karapatan silang magreklamo, puede nilang ipaglaban ang kanilang karapatan. Ngayon sila ay tau-tauhan lamang, tsimoy at tsimay ni Gloria Macapalgal.
Kawawang mga pilipino!
BE, they are all in the Charter, in reality Section 16 up to 22 deal with Languages and the Respect for other languages ( under the legal Rights sections) other than French and English and also the Queen as the Head of Canada and until we dance the Cha-Cha and change the provisions of our Charter, we have to Abide by them.

“In the past few days, however, it has become evident to me that I no longer have a strong enough political base to justify continuing that effort. As long as there was such a base, I felt strongly that it was necessary to see the constitutional process through to its conclusion, that to do otherwise would be unfaithful to the spirit of that deliberately difficult process and a dangerously destabilizing precedent for the future.”

When we left the Philippines, the issue was the diploma mill. Too many people getting diplomas that they could not even use to find good paying job.
At least, UP was not guilty of it with a lot many students getting shifted along the way, matira ang matibay sort of. When I went through the tutorial education of public education in UK, I realized, however, what Filipino students were lacking, and students contented with the bulok educational system being imposed on them by the kurakots in their government.
Nakakaiyak sa totoo lang!
BTW, Escudero is being groomed by his party to run for the presidency in 2010. To us, who supported him in the last election and getting disappointed with his flip-flopping and politicizing, we say, “NO MORE!”
You bet, hindi na papaloko ang mga kasama kong bumuboto. I don’t because we don’t have dual citizenship in Japan. Taga-tulak at udyok lang tayo noong mga bumuboto. It’s the least I can do for the land of my birth.
Sabi nga ng utol ko, bakit pa raw ako nakikialam sa gulo sa Pilipinas. Tanong ko naman sa kaniya, “Bakit ano na ba ang Pilipinas sa iyo?”
I got this liberal opinion about The Crisis of Public Education in the Philippines by Dr. Ronald Meinardus was the former Resident Representative of the Friedrich-Naumann-Foundation in the Philippines and a commentator on Asian affairs. E-mail comments to liberal@philippines.fnst.org
According to the human capital theory, the economic development of a nation is a function of the quality of its education. In other words: the more and better educated a people, the greater the chances of economic development.

Yuko,
Chiz is being groomed by Kampi of Gloria. NPC, his owm party, has not decided yet if it’s Loren or he.
Chi,
Kiss to death if Chiz will join to Kampi of Gloria labandera? Let him try and he will see the end of his political career. Why not?
The Pacquiao-Dela Hoya fight would be a fixed match. Better believe me. It’s alright to watch the fight since it’s the biggest match of the year; but don’t expect a real match. It’s fixed. It’s all about money and gambling. Both fighters have nothing to lose and both earn big bucks. If you have a heart for Manny, bet for him. If you have a heart for your wallet, bet wisely.
If Manny loses, he could always claim that he’s against a bigger and more experienced opponent. It doesn’t cost him anything but just one loss. He would still have more matches lined up for him including a re-match with Dela Hoya. If you recall, his pregnant wife Jinky was very much against this fight. Later, she allowed him. Why? Was it because she was assured that it’s going to be a fixed fight?
And whoever loses, each is assured of million of dollars including the share from HBO Pay-for-View earnings?
The Pidal Mafia may be betting on Manny’s opponent. That’s the way gambling syndicate operates. Is Mike Arroyo in Las Vegas? We didn’t see him arrive with the Evil Bitch from Hong Kong? Of course his son, the horse smuggler, is in Las Vegas. More than half of the congressmen are there. It would be nice to have a list of who are there. Among the senators, I’m 100% sure Lito Lapid is there.
There’s nothing wrong to root for a fellow Filipino abroad. There’s nothing wrong to be patriotic and be proud of one’s flag. But, are these politicians really for the country or for money? Who pays for their trip?
In order not to be disappointed, it would even be better not to watch the fight. Who wants to watch a fixed game? If Manny loses and we see Chavit Singson smiling…that’s it.
I don’t think Escudero would join Lakas or the Administration.
So far, Escudero has been consistently behaving like a true opposition. Chiz is closer to Erap than his godmother the Evil Bitch. Chiz doesn’t owe Malacanang anything. The ones who helped him last election were Danding and Lucio Tan. Besides, Chiz is still too young to aspire for national office. He would keep his Senate position since his contribution is very much needed. Then, he would be ripe for Presidency or Vice after 2010.
