Shame of Pampanga or Pride of Pampanga?
« on: February 03, 2012, 04:09:43 PM »

Kapampangan pride received either a boost or a beating depending on who you ask among the cabalen of Senator Manuel “Lito” Lapid concerning his first-ever “performance” at the Senate impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona.

For a few minutes, the action star-turned-lawmaker, not exactly known for eloquence but more for his membership in the so-called committee on silence, rose confidently on Day 10 of the trial to throw questions in Filipino at a prosecution witness from the Security and Exchange Commission.
Lapid took to the floor on Wednesday at the time when he was in the media spotlight albeit for an entirely different case closer to home: His wife Marissa was charged with dollar smuggling in the United States last week.

Kapampangan musician Irwin Nucum was hardly impressed by what he saw. He dismissed as “insignificant,” for example, Lapid’s question on the difference between a “cash advance” and a “loan.”

The issue then was about the P11-million loan taken by Corona and wife Cristina from a supposedly inactive company owned by her family in 2003.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

I think it is rather interesting how so many Filipino politicians are involved in this case when in reality the corruption in the Philippine Government and members of Government is sadly deplorable. The people are left to vote according to the largest "bribe".

How can a nation of some 101 Million people be one of the most weakest countries in South East Asia? Our Armed Forces is so weak , our military personnel very poorly equipped and because of the billions of dollars lost to corruption every year because of our politicians, the Philippines cannot properly defend the national sovereignty , especially in the West Philippine Sea.

Politicians are too busy abusing the pork barrel, too busy siphoning money to their own pockets instead of honestly using funds for its intended purpose. The people , sadly, are just "bribed" to continue this so called "oligarchic democracy" where the rich retain and buy power and the poor are left in the streets.
