As always, “The Professional Heckler” is hilarious.
I consider this young guy the genius wit of this generation.
This horoscope for presidentiables has been going around the world through internet.In the passing frenzy, the author’s by line got deleted. He related that a relative sent this to him with a note, “Basahin mo ‘to ‘insan, nakakatawa!”
He replied, “’Insan, are u insane? Mas patawa ka! Sa aking blog nanggaling ‘yan! Tanga!”
Anyway, rather than be angered and frustrated by the lies and propaganda being spread around by candidates, enjoy with “The Professional Heckler” what he saw in the stars for the presidential candidates.

Hindi nasama sa report ng Al Jazeera ang parte ng sinabi ni “Jesse” , ang hitman ng mga Ampatuan na ngayon ay gustong mag- state witness, ang parte kung saan sinabi niya kung gaano kadikit ang mga Ampatuan kay Gloria Arroyo.
Humihingi si Jesse ng proteksyun dahil sabi niya kapag makalaya sina Ampatuan, patay siya. Sabi niya, “Hindi lang siya mapera. Malapit kay Gloria. Kapag pumunta si GMA sa Maguindanao sa bahay ng mga Ampatuan, ang tawag ni Andal Ampatuan Jr, mayor ng bayan ng Datu Unsay sa kanya ay, “Ina”. Ang tawag naman ni Arroyo kay Andal Senior ay, “Ama”.
Close talaga sila, ano.
Itong si Jesse ay bodyguard ni Datu Kanor, pinsan at best matalik na kaibigan ni mayor Andal Jr na ang palayaw ay “Unsay”, pangalan ng bayan kung saan siya ang mayor. Kasama siya doon sa masaker at sinabi niyang nambaril din siya. Hindi niya alam kung ilan ang napatay niya.

Often regarded as the greatest piano composer to ever live, Chopin was one of the greatest pianists in Paris during the Romantic Era. Frederick Chopin was born in Poland and early in his young life exhibited his gift at the piano, playing for some of the aristocratic families of Warsaw the age of six. At the age of nineteen, Chopin moved away from Poland forever, first to Vienna and then to Paris.
Chopin was readily accepted by the Parisian elite, but his demeanor and melancholic temperament was often at odds with the expectation of this circle. During his entire lifetime, Chopin gave only 30 public performances. Of his nearly 170 compositions, almost all of them are exclusively for the piano. Chopin performed most of these compositions for small private audiences. The intimate setting of these performances is significant because it is emblematic of Chopin’s music. Chopin loved soaring melodies, particularly the singing-like playing of his right hand. These melodies were not overwhelmingly ornamental, however, but minimalist and traditional. Chopin was lauded for his ability to infuse traditional forms like the sonata and the prelude (a short self contained piano piece) with intimacy and emotional intensity.
by Ruben Jeffrey Asuncion OFW Journalism Consortium IF elected, presidential candidates Gilberto Teodoro Jr., Manuel Villar and Richard Gordon would throw cash and strike deals…
Liberal Party standard bearer Benigno “Noynoy” C. Aquino III widens the lead over Nacionalista Party’s Manuel Villar in the latest survey of Pulse Asia.
In a survey conducted Feb. 21 to 25, 2010 (Click here), Aquino was the preference of 36 percent on the question “Who would you vote if the 2010 elections were held today?” Villar scored 29 percent.
The seven percentage point difference strengthens Aquino’s lead unlike in the Jan 10, 2010 survey when they were statistically tied with Aquino’s 37 percent and Villar’s 35 percent.
A visiting expert on citizen participation in governance, Dr. Lyle Wray, said two of the important traits that voters should look for in a leader are “ethical” and “effective.”
Immediately, what came to my mind were the top leading presidential candidates Benigno Aquino III and Manuel Villar.
(I believe the presidential contest will be between the two. Former President Estrada is a far third. Gilbert Teodoro is further down in fourth place. His numbers may be improving but the increase is miniscule, it is doubtful if he would be able to catch up.)
I believe Aquino is honest. He has no record of corruption. But there’s so much to be desired in terms of performance.
A man who says he took part in last November’s massacre in Maguindanao province has told Al Jazeera how he now fears he too will be killed as the alleged mastermind of the killings seeks to silence potential witnesses against him.
In an exclusive interview, the man known as “Jesse” told how he had been ordered to kill a witness, and he now fears he will be next after the head of a powerful clan placed a bounty on his life.
“[Datu Unsay] gave the order for me to kill this one guy who could have been a witness against them,” he said.
“I did it. If I didn’t do as told, they would kill me.”
