The Black and White Movement has classified 100 congressional candidates into a Black and White as a guide to voters in next month’s election.
The message is, don’t vote for those in the Black List and campaign and vote for those in the White List. Example:
Grabe itong nangyari sa Blacksburg, Virginia noong Martes kung saan nag-amok ang isang Koreano estudyante. Nakapatay siya ng 32 na tao bago niya binaril ang kanyang sarili. Labing siyam ang sugatan at malubha sa pinakamadugong masaker na nangyari sa eskwelahan.
Nangyari ito sa Virginia Polytechnic Institute at State University noong Martes.Nakilala ang kriminal sa pangalang Cho Seung-Hui, isang Koreano na nag-immigrate
sa Amerika noong 1992. English major siya.
Nagdadalamhati ngayon ang Amerika sa nangyari. Maraming mga lider ng ibang bansa, kasama si Pope Benedict XVI ang nagpa-abot ng kanilang condolence sa pamilya at sa bansang Amerika.
Open letter to my friends

In countries with stable political parties that offer alternative policies and programs, responsible voters take time to study the platforms of competing parties. But in the Philippines, this is a futile exercise. Here the platforms are meaningless documents usually crafted by paid campaign strategists who try to please everyone with glittering ambiguities. They do not tell us what the candidates intend to do but only what they think we want to hear.
Makati Regional Trial Court Judge Oscar Pimentel granted the request of detained Ltsg Antonio Trillanes IV, senatorial candidate of the Genuine Opposition, to allow media to have access to him in his detention cell.
The permission has set conditions like request should be made three days prior to the interview and questions should be submitted.
That’s not exactly okay but we have to count our blessings as of now. The fight for genuine freedom goes on.
Naala-ala nyo si Ruben Dionisio, ang isa sa limang supporters ni dating Pangulong Estrada na kini$nap ng mga intelligence agent ng military (ISAFP) at tinurture noong isang taon?
Hinuli na naman si Dionisio noong Sabado sa kasong rebellion daw. Mga ahente naman ng Criminal Investigation and Detection Group ng Philippine National Police ang dumapot sa kanya noong Sabado.
Nakakulong siya ngayon sa Camp Karingal sa Quezon City. Hindi maa-aring magpiyansa sa rebellion. Kaya mukhang plano ng pamahalaan pabulukin si Dionisio sa kulungan.
“THE lies that we have to say just to protect them.”
Jopay Sales related a story about her three-year-old twins, Frances Danielle and Daniel Francis, showing how the detention of her husband, Capt. Frederick Sales, has taken a toll on their family life.
A week before their graduation from nursery school last month, Frances and Daniel were in their school bus. Everybody was excited about the graduation ceremonies. The kids were looking forward to their parents going up the stage with them, especially those who would be receiving awards.
This is a first person account by my friend and fellow blogger, Joel.
Joel’s first letter to our e-group was sent last Friday. It’s heartwarming:
Last Monday, I gave a Trillanes campaign shirt and stickers to a young lady. It was during a meeting I had with a group from Bicol. This group from Bicol is supporting Sonny, Sonia Roco and Chiz Escudero. This morning while giving away Sonny’s stickers in Marikina, I ran into the very same lady. She was with a group of retired soldiers giving away Trillanes shirts and stickers. They had the stickers and shirt I gave copied. There were kids along with them. I later learned these kids are grandchildren and kids of those who were with the girl.
Mabuti lang nabulgar ng Inquirer ang bagong anomalya sa Department of Education tungkol sa overpriced computers. Kung hindi may gagamitin na naman sana ang mga kandidato ni Gloria Arroyo sa Bicol, kasama na ang kanyang anak na si Dato, sa pamimili ng boto sa eleksyon.
Panibagong version ng fertilizer scam sana ang nangyari.
Ito ay isa na namang ehemplo kung paano ginagamit ng mga walang pusong pulitiko ang kalamidad para sa kanilang pansariling interest.

The case of 2nd Lts. Caesar Daen and Percival Alcanar, who were unjustly accused of participating in the Oakwood mutiny and imprisoned for four years, only for the military to admit last Wednesday that their evidence is weak, shows the stupidity and inhumanity of this administration.
Last Wednesday, the military court presided by Brig. Gen. Nathaniel Legazpi which is trying the case of the Magdalo soldiers in connection with what is called the Oakwood mutiny on July 27, 2003, said it was “with a deep sense of justice” that they were dismissing charges against Daen and Alcanar because the “evidence is manifestly weak.”
