We need more Bea Zobel de Ayala in our country

Watching this documentary made me rekindle my kinship to the Filipino people. This proves that genuine caring, faith and love can make a difference and positive change and can go a very long way. Poignant the situation maybe, I still hope for a better future for the Filipino people. Needless to say, we need more Bea Zobel de Ayalas in our country, now.

-Sometimes in life you do things just because you love people. It makes me feel happy and fulfilled. I have so much in life that I find that in able to have so much in life, you have to balance your life, and if you don't balance your life at least a little bit, you cannot be happy.- Bea Zobel de Ayala

Election 2010

Para sa akin generally OK naman ang 2010 first automated election. Albeit maraming glitches, naayos naman kahit papaano. Kung baga hindi kasing palpak ng inaasahan ng marami ang nangyari kahit alam natin na konti na lang ay aatakihin na sa puso sa kaba ang mga taga Comelec at Smartmatic. Pero hindi pa rin sila lusot dahil for sure, may magrerequest ng audit sa performance nila lalo na ang Smartmatic na sa tingin ko ay malulugi sa dami ng aberyang nangyari. 

Dito sa amin, the usual ang reklamo. Mga di tinatanggap na balota, vote buying, wala sa listahan na pangalan, etc. Nakakainis din naman yung mga tao dahil masyado sila hyper pag may nangyaring aberya sa kanila. Pinagbubuntungan ng galit yung mga kawawang teachers na wala naman kinalaman. Yung kapitbahay namin na teacher ang nanay e nagspeech sa precint para ipagtanggol ang nanay nya kasi konti na lang e magugulpi na nanay nya ng mga dukha. Hayyy! Maraming tao pa rin ang salat sa common courtesy at respeto. Kudos sa lahat ng teachers at volunteers ng election para sa kanilang sakripisyo at dedication towards a peaceful election and hopefully, a new, better and well defined government. I lab you all!!! 

Sa precint kung saan ako bumoto ayus naman. Almost 1 hour din ako pumila kahit maaga akong dumating sa precint ko. Para lang kaming may family reunion sa dami ng mga kamag anak ko na nandoon. Nagrequest din ako na sa daliri sa paa na lang ilagay yung ink kasi ang pangit tignan, request not granted pero sabi kontian lang ang lagay dahil hindi naman ako mag fa flying voter. Muntik na rin akong mag-amok dahil hindi ko sinasadyang makita yung balota ng katabi ko. Kitang-kita ko na binoto nya si Jajajajamby. Ang sarap lang kutusan ni ate kasi di naman cya mukhang tumatanggap ng 500 pesos at isang kilong bigas. Sabagay, seeing the unofficial results ng election ay makikita natin na ubod pa rin ng dami ang mga tatanga tangang tao. As of this writing, 8 million plus ang boto ni Estrada, 8 million plus ang mga kinulang sa tamang pag iisip. Imagine, kung di tumakbo si Ngoyngoy, lo and behold! Hello Erap ulit ang Pilipinas. Kanina pa pag gising ko sabi agad ng daddy ko na panalo si GMA at si Pacman. WTF x 10 to the 20th power!

Nakaka awa din yung ibang lugar na dumanas pa rin ng karahasan sa botohan lalo na sa Mindanao area. I pity the candidates na gagawin ang lahat para lang manalo at magkamal ng kapangyarihan. Shame on you! Buhay pa kayo, nakasanla na ang mga kaluluwa nyo kay taning. 

I voted for Gordon and Mar. Kahit hindi mananalo si Gordon ok lang sa akin. Alam ko na balang araw ay hindi ko sisisihin ang sarili ko dahil hindi ko ibinoto yung sa tingin ko ay tama at nararapat na kandidato. Masaya ako dahil alam kong I made the right decision. Kesa naman sa iba dyan na nagpabayad o hindi bumoto for no valid reason kahit registered naman. Bawal mag-react, ok? 

Iba-iba rin ang binoto ng mga tao sa bahay, pero mostly pro-Ngoyngoy sila (may ugating dahilan kung bakit pero hindi ko pwedeng sabihin dito, top secret). Ako at yung isang kuya ko lang ang bumoto kay Gordon. Sa VP lang kami nagkapare-parehas. Most ng mga senador na binoto ko ay nasa top 12. Nakalimutan ko na actually kung sino mga binoto ko dahil wala akong listahan, on the spot ang pagpili ko. Natatandaan ko lang ay sina Revilla, Defensor, Drilon, Enrile, Hontiveros, Osmena, Cayetano. The rest second choice lang. Nilagay ko lang sila para hindi sayang yung slots. 

Kung merong isang taong pinakamasaya sa amin, yun ay si Rosaleee. Aside from pagrampa nya sa school kung saan kami bumoto, nag watcher ang hitad. Sayang din ang 2,500 na bayad sa kanya na may bonus pa dahil nanalo ang mayor na pinag watcheran nya. Kung ano ano pang freebies ang nakuha nya gaya ng food (adobo at chopseuy na may kanin at banana tsaka juice, sandwich na may palamang egg salad), libreng t-shirt, pamaypay, etc. Naaliw din cya sa mga kalalakihang naglabas masok sa precint na binabantayan nya. Pansamantalang nawaglit sa isipan nya ang kanyang newest crush – si Bret ng PBB Teen Clash na galit sa bangs! Sulit naman daw kahit hindi nya napanood ang walang kamatayang malapit ng mamatay na Tanging Yaman. 


Domjullian: Sinong binoto mo?
Rosaleee: Si Gordon at si Benay
Domjullian: Ako Gordon-Roxas
Rosaleee: Ha? Si Roxas din dapat ako pero wala dun sa balota ang pangalan nya koya.
Domjullian: Tanga, pwede ba yon.
Rosaleee: Hindi ko nakita. Wala talaga.
Domjullian: Manuel Roxas cya! Ano ba yan bingi ka na bulag ka pa.
Rosaleee: Ha? Ano koya?
Domjullian: Wala. Sino binoto mo sa mga senators?
Rosaleee: Si Estrada, si Miriam, si Jun Lozada. Di ko binoto si Bong wala naman nagawa yun.
Domjullian: Tanga mo talaga bakit mo binoto si Jun Lozada???
Rosaleee: Magaling kaya yun, cya yung sa ZPE (sepe-e) diba?
Domjullian: Hindi kapangalan nya lang yun. Tanga-tanga mo talaga. Tsaka ZTE yun hindi ZPE.
Rosaleee: Malay ko ba e magkapangalan sila. Wala naman kasing pecture. Sa susunod di ko na iboboto.
Domjullian: Libre mo ko tutal dami mong pera.
Rosaleee: Koya pambaon ko to sa pasukan.
Domjullian: Walking distance lang ang school kailangan mo ng baon?
Rosaleee: Cge na nga. Pero logaw lang, dun sa Alex.
Domjullian: Cge! Lugaw yon hindi LOGAW! Sumasakit ang bangs ko sayo!
*Tinitigan ako ni Rosaleee. Akala ko katapusan ko na!
Rosaleee: Koya wala ka namang bangs!


Weird talaga tong si Rosaleee pero atleast nagiisip cya, di lang basta bumoto. Good thing e nagshare cya ng blessing pero dapat lang kasi ako nagpasok sa kanya bilang watcher. Hehehe.

I used to be a Namfrel volunteer pero not this election kasi nakisabay ang trabaho. Gustuhin ko man ay may obligasyon akong dapat tapusin para sa mga kliyente ko, otherwise walang pantuition ang anak ko na miss na miss ko na at malapit ng umuwi.Yehey! May iba pa namang pagkakataon at panahon. 

Sa ngayon nasa 69% na ang pumapasok na boto sa buong Pilipinas. Sana lang maging transparent ang Comelec at ipakita yung breakdown ng mga votes per place or what ever is convenient sa kanila. May point din kahit papano si Erap sa reklamo nya kahit feeling ko dapat masaya na cya sa dami ng botong nakuha nya. Kakapalan na ng mukha kung magrereklamo cya ng pandaraya. By this time siguro, ngumangalngal na si Manny Villar sa sure defeat nya at sa dami ng nawalang pera sa kanya. Hindi na ako magugulat kung mag rereklamo cyang election fraud along with Legarda o kung sabay sila mag suicide. Partly blame Willie Revillame, may kinalaman cya sa pag bagsak mo dahil sa pinagsasasabi at pinaggagagawa nya. Partly lang ha.

Bantayan pa rin natin ang bilangan ng boto sa election hanggang matapos at maki-isa sa pamahalaan ng bagong mamumuno para sa mas magandang Pilipinas.


Yet another history.

2010 Election Brouhahas

With all the news about the upcoming 2010 elections, anong kinabukasan ba mayroon ang Pilipinas? Ang mga opinion na mababasa nyo ay galing sa malikot na pag iisip ko at ang mga ito ay base sa personal na pananaw ko. I may not be right, I’m just expressing my thoughts bilang isang mamamayan ng Pilipinas dahil alam naman natin na nakasalalay sa kamay ng mga manunungkulan ang kinabukasan ng ating bayan. Karapatan natin makialam at gumawa ng positibong aksyon at pagbabago.

Erap making a comeback...kailangan ba? Enough is enough. He’s a good actor but he will never be a good leader ng bansa.


Gloria as Prime Minister...her and her allies’ attempt to change the constitution is way too much. She’s proven herself (?)already, di na nya kailangan ng power, its time for her to rest. We need a desperate change. Kudos to Randy David, too bad hindi ako taga Pampanga para makaboto in his favor. Vote for Randy David, Pamapanga peeps! Pero sana hindi nya iwan ang pagtuturo!


Pacman running for Congress...he is one of the best boxer in the world and his dedication to help others and uplift the current situation of the country is commendable. Two thumbs up to that! Pero kailangan pa ban yang sumabak sa pagka kongresista para makatulong? Running for congress isn’t all about helping the poor(minsan nakakasama pa ang pagtulong, we just make them dependent sa tulong ng ibang tao instead of them helping themselves), there are laws to be created and amended. Charity is different from politics. Hindi dahil magaling ka na boxer ay magiging magaling ka na politiko. Logic lang yan!Hehehe!. I don’t want to undermine his capability to perform the duties of a Congressman but...kayo na ang bahala, alam ko at alam mo, he’s not fit for that.


Lacson backed out of Presidential race...ang rason is lack of financial support or dahil alam nya na matatalo lang siya because of the negative effect of Dacer-Corbito murder case to him? But its good he backed out, sayang lang pera nya.


Binay ala Barrack Obama...come on! Never compare a fresh cabbage to a rotten one.

Father Ed Panlilio’s Presidential dream...should be kept a dream, baka maging nightmare ng mga pinoy yung dream nya. Just ask the Pampanga people.


Bayani Fernando wants to be the administration bet...very very good vision for the Philippines pero parang mali yung execution, masyadong harsh at hindi makatao.


Gilbert Teodoro’s dreaming too of becoming the next President...who is he by the way?


Jinggoy Estrada na napapabalitang tatakbo as VP...like father like son.Uhum!


Politics isn’t about power, money and prestige, it entails a lot of responsibilities. Gaya ng pag aaruga ng magulang sa mga anak, tungkulin nila na bigyan ng mabuting pamumuhay ang mga mamamayan at magkaroon ng positibong pagbabago sa buhay nila ngayon at sa hinaharap, hindi ang magpayaman gamit ang pera ng taong bayan.

Panahon na siguro para baguhin natin ang pag iisip natin sa pagpili ng mga ihahalal natin sa posisyon. We have to assess their capabilities and their genuine and sincere intentions to serve the people. They should bring about positive and progressive change in our country. Its time to unify now, minsan hindi rin maganda na parati natin sinasalungat ang mga programa ng gobyerno. We can help you know (in our own way atleast), I’m sure the government will welcome and will need some helping.

10 Real Reasons Why There is Hope for the Philippines

By Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan

1. We are strategically located at the heart of East Asia.

Northeast Asia (Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong) and Southeast Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Brunei, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Laos) combined makes East Asia. We are only at most four hours away from every major city in East Asia. If the Philippines were a real estate venture in a commercial area, ours is a location to die for. We can be the shipping and air transport hub of East Asia. We can be the top tourist destination of the region. We can be the cultural center of the region for performing arts.

2. We are No. 1 in aquamarine resources worldwide.

“We have the most diverse aquamarine ecosystem in the entire world which, if managed properly, will feed not only our hungry people but will be a source of huge revenue coming from a world in dire need of aquamarine resources such as fish, seaweed, and other similar products. We can be the seafood basket and aquamarine resource center of the world, the aquamarine resource powerhouse of the world.

3. We have a huge tourism industry potential.

Our people are by nature extremely friendly and hospitable. We only have some 3 million tourist visits every year, while our neighbors are doing 4 or 5 times more with 12 to 15 million tourist visits annually. It has been said that other countries in the ASEAN are doing so much more with so little in terms of natural wonders and beautiful sites while we are doing so little with so much. With the right infrastructure such as highways and airports and seaports in place, we can be the number one tourist destination in ASEAN if not Asia.

4. We are now No. 2 in the BPO industry worldwide and can become No. 1.

We are, I am told, currently second to India in the business process outsourcing industry. I am told as well that this industry expects 30 percent growth this year despite the worldwide recession as foreign companies look aggressively to lowering costs of doing business and therefore look to business outsourcing.

5. We are extremely creative and artistic people.

We have been called the songbirds of Asia. Our reputation as performers is legendary throughout the world (although we have never been boastful about it). We can be the center of performing arts in Asia wherein millions would visit the country annually to marvel at our cultural performances and our artistic productions.

6. We have the emergence of a new generation of progressive and results-oriented public sector leaders.

Since the restoration of democracy in 1986 and the passage of the Local Government Code in 1991 (or some 20 years now), public officials have began to work with new resources (40 percent of national taxes are now plowed back to local government units compared to less than 10 percent in 1986) made available by decentralization. Today a new generation of public sector leaders is emerging, one that is empowered, that is vision driven and results-oriented. This explains why we have successful local government initiatives in Marikina, Makati, Naga City, Davao City, Iloilo City, Cebu City, Calbayog City, and General Santos City, among others. Hence from a generation of public sector leaders that by and large was corrupt, lacking in vision, creativity, and innovation, we now have the emergence of a new generation of public sector leaders with integrity, with proactive leadership, and with a commitment to reform and genuine change. New governance models and templates that are solving age-old problems in the field are being forged, being tempered as we speak. A new brand of political leadership is emerging focused on solving age old problems in governance. The old, failed methods utilized by the trapos will soon be crushed and defeated.

7. Information and communication technology advancement is enhancing our sense of nationhood.

Rather than a country of many languages and many islands, we are fast becoming one nation, connected by information and communication technology. The ethno-linguistic barriers that used to keep us divided are being shattered by the interconnectivity of information technology. Today an entire generation of Filipinos fully understands, and can connect with, the Filipino language because of two decades of television news in Filipino (all TV news used to be English until 1986). The three elements of nationhood are: common language, common territory and common economy. We are now becoming a nation because information technology is breaking the barriers that have prevented us from becoming united as a people. It is also now reconnecting some 10 million Filipinos overseas to the motherland. We are becoming one nation and one people.

8. We have a re-emerging middle class mindset.

After over three decades of the OFW boom, we now have a new generation of citizens steeped with modern ideas coming from the highly successful host nations like Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the United Sates. Europe too has become host to hundreds of thousands of OFWs. The OFWs who have experienced life in these highly developed nations can now compare and contrast these experiences with the experiences in the motherland. In highly developed nations there is, to a greater extent, a greater sense of accountability and a greater sense of justice and fair play. Our OFWs bring all that back home and having been enlightened by the experience will demand greater of their leaders back home. People are beginning to say enough is enough and are actually doing something about it.

9. We are a young nation.

Close to 30 million of our 45 million voters are 18 to 35 years old. Very young. If harnessed effectively, these young voters can usher in the political and electoral change that we need to happen for genuine political and economic reforms to take place.

10. We are a people who love to laugh, who love our families.

We are a resilient people. We can draw unimaginable strength and fortitude in times of difficulty in order to move ahead. We know how to survive despite so much pain and suffering. We know how to cope. We are willing to sacrifice so much of ourselves in order to provide for our family, our loved ones. This strength will not only bring us out of the mess we are in but will ensure that we are able to reach greater heights in our collective desire as a people to have a better life for those we truly care for, for those who mean the world to us. Our resilience in the long run will not only make us survive but will also ensure that we will triumph in the end.

We have enough reason to hope. We have, as a people, enough reason to act on these hopes and when we do, the genuine change we all seek will finally see the light of day and yes, by all means, in our lifetime.

Philippine All Stars Wins Gold in 2008 World Hip Hop Championships

Philippine All Stars bested more than 1,000 dancers from 33 countries by winning the title in the 2008 World Hip-Hop Championship in Las Vegas, Nevada Sunday, August 3, 2008.

Three judges gave the Philippine All Stars an aggregate score of 8.94. A large part of the score (5.35) was earned by way of the group’s infusion of artistic steps in their choreography.

And to that, competition judge and multi-Gramy awardee MC Hammer said: “The Filipino artists…they continue to evolve in a global basis. They take art and dance seriously.I am very proud of the level that the Philippines over all have developed into.”

Judge Shane Sparks of the hit tv show So You Think You Can Dance also had high praises for the group.

Catherine Loria is Grand Winner in the 2008 World Championships of Performing Arts (WCOPA)

The Philippines is on top of the world of performing arts for the third time! Our very own Catherine Loria was declared Grand Champion Performer of the World in the recently concluded “Talent Olympics” in Hollywood.

13-year-old Catherine Loria, from Tiaong, Quezon Province, was proclaimed Grand Champion Performer of the World, a major feat which was won by Jed Madela in 2005 and Aria Clemente in 2007. She sang Yolanda Adam’s version of “I Believe I Can Fly” at the finals. She bested fellow junior contestants Tippy dos Santos and Rachel Razon, junior vocalists also from the Philippines, Courtney Mary Janssen from New Zealand, and Oleksandr Chernenko from Ukraine.

On the other hand, Andrew Clarke from Jamaica was proclaimed Grand Champion Performer of the World in the senior edition beating our very own Marielle Corpuz.

More than 40 countries participated in the annual event which is patterned after the Olympics.
The national directors for Team Philippines this year are Carlo Orosa and Oliver Oliveros.

Keeping the Pinoy Spirit Alive, Always!

Laman ng balita si Pacman kagabi with his recent win and history made. I was never a boxing fan but I always look forward sa lahat ng laban ng mga pinoy boxers.

I was watching TV Patrol Linggo last night, and again medyo naluha ako. Saan? Well, sa response ng mga pinoy sa pagkakapanalo ni Pacman.

Natuwa ako with matching luha sa pinakita ng mga Pinoy. Despite what is happening sa bansa natin with the recent tragedy and the never ending price hikes, Pinoys are still proud to be Pinoy. Na sa kabila ng pahirap na pahirap na pamumuhay ng mga Pinoy, mayroon paring puwang sa puso natin ang pagiging Pilipino. Na sa kabila ng mga problema, may baon paring ngiti na mula sa puso ng isang Juan Dela Cruz. Iba talaga ang Pinoy, bilib na bilib ako! Mga taong may simpleng pangarap sa buhay na hinahaluan ng sipag, tiyaga, determinasyon at pananalig sa Maykapal at pinatitibay ng mga pagsubok at dagok sa buhay. Dahil dito, taas noo at ipinagmamalaki ko na ako ay may lahing kayumanggi. Pilipino sa lahat ng panahon at pagkakataon!

Sa pinakita nating pagkakaisa sa pagkapanalo ni Pacman, naway ipakita natin parati. Ito marahil ang kailangan natin tungo sa pag papaunlad ng buhay! Sana.

Gaya nga ng slogan ng ABS-CBN – WALANG IWANAN SA BAYAN NI JUAN! Yey!

Imagine a world without Filipinos

Got this from a local Arab newspaper. Filipinos will be always be the best worker anywhere, indeed!

Proud to be Filipino!

Imagine a world without Filipinos

Abdullah Al-Maghlooth Al-Watan, almaghlooth@alwatan.com.sa

Muhammad Al-Maghrabi became handicapped and shut down his flower and gifts shop business in Jeddah after his Filipino workers insisted on leaving and returning home. He says: “When they left, I felt as if I had lost my arms. I was so sad that I lost my appetite.”

Al-Maghrabi then flew to Manila to look for two other Filipino workers to replace the ones who had left. Previously, he had tried workers of different nationalities but they did not impress him. “There is no comparison between Filipinos and others,” he says. Whenever I see Filipinos working in the Kingdom, I wonder what our life would be without them.

Saudi Arabia has the largest number of Filipino workers — 1,019,577 — outside the Philippines. In 2006 alone, the Kingdom recruited more than 223,000 workers from the Philippines and their numbers are still increasing. Filipinos not only play an important and effective role in the Kingdom, they also perform different jobs in countries across the world, including working as sailors. They are known for their professionalism and the quality of their work.

Nobody here can think of a life without Filipinos, who make up around 20 percent of the world’s seafarers. There are 1.2 million Filipino sailors.

So if Filipinos decided one day to stop working or go on strike for any reason, who would transport oil, food and heavy equipment across the world? We can only imagine the disaster that would happen.

What makes Filipinos unique is their ability to speak very good English and the technical training they receive in the early stages of their education. There are several specialized training institutes in the Philippines, including those specializing in engineering and road maintenance. This training background makes them highly competent in these vital areas.

When speaking about the Philippines, we should not forget Filipino nurses. They are some 23 percent of the world’s total number of nurses. The Philippines is home to over 190 accredited nursing colleges and institutes, from which some 9,000 nurses graduate each year. Many of them work abroad in countries such as the US, the UK, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Singapore.

Cathy Ann, a 35-year-old Filipino nurse who has been working in the Kingdom for the last five years and before that in Singapore, said she does not feel homesick abroad because “I am surrounded by my compatriots everywhere.” Ann thinks that early training allows Filipinos to excel in nursing and other vocations. She started learning this profession at the age of four as her aunt, a nurse, used to take her to hospital and ask her to watch the work. “She used to kiss me whenever I learned a new thing. At the age of 11, I could do a lot. I began doing things like measuring my grandfather’s blood pressure and giving my mother her insulin injections,” she said.

This type of early education system is lacking in the Kingdom. Many of our children reach the university stage without learning anything except boredom.

The Philippines, which you can barely see on the map, is a very effective country thanks to its people. It has the ability to influence the entire world economy.

We should pay respect to Filipino workers, not only by employing them but also by learning from their valuable experiences.

We should learn and educate our children on how to operate and maintain ships and oil tankers, as well as planning and nursing and how to achieve perfection in our work. This is a must so that we do not become like Muhammad Al-Maghrabi who lost his interest and appetite when Filipino workers left his flower shop.

We have to remember that we are very much dependent on the Filipinos around us. We could die a slow death if they chose to leave us.

Araw ng Kalayaan

Isang mapagpalayang araw ng kalayaan sa ating lahat!

Nawa’y maging tunay na tayong maging malaya sa hinaharap.

Maging malaya sa kahirapan, karahasan, katiwalian at kawalang paki-alam sa bayan at sa kapwa.

Huwag sana natin sayangin ang mga pakikipag laban na ginawa ng ating mga bayani at ninuno upang makamit ang minimithing kasarinlan.

At sana ay isabuhay natin ang pagiging Pilipino nasaan man tayo, sa lahat ng oras at pagkakataon, sa isip, sa salita at lalong lalo na sa gawa!

Ipinagmamalaki ko na ako’y Pilipino!


Ang bayan ko'y tanging ikaw

Pilipinas kong mahal

Ang puso ko at buhay man

Sa iyo'y ibibigay
Tungkulin kong gagampananna lagi kang paglingkuran

Ang laya mo'y babantayan

Pilipinas kong hirang...
