 The Philippine Air Force is buying a used C-130 formerly owned by the Tunisian Air Force for $38 million. The used C-130 had not flown for 15 years and had figured in an accident.

The bidding was done with specifications tailored to favor a Malaysian bidder. The C-130 Technical Coordination Group (TCG) of the PAF was not even consulted on the purchase. JUSMAG was also not consulted.

The $38 million price is reportedly overpriced by $8 million. Who hit the jackpot here? Why not buy a brand new C-130 which can be secured for $55 million? Or buy a used one still flying with the US Airforce for about $3 million?

Promising new hotel jobs and restaurant jobs at Alona Beach and other areas on Panglao island in Bohol province, this has been of special interest  to us. Boracay island  is well developed and now expensive. Panglao promises a low cost buy in for new hotels and tourist projects once the airport is built. The hotel jobs and restaurant jobs this would bring were eyed with anticipation. We have been following The Panglao International airport project in the Philippines for almost 2 years. The Panglao location has a locational superiority over Boracay since the supply chain for upscale recources is available in Cebu City, the second largest city in the Philippines. Cebu City is only an hour and a half away by a Fast Cat boat.

The original plans were laid by Cory Aquino’s administration and then taken over by GMA who promised to move forward quickly but failed to do so. It is also a pet project of the Governor of Bohol province. The original budget of PHP 4.6 billion became stale as costs rose to PHP 7.4 billion. Detractors and environmental objections that the pristine waters and marine life were at risk, abounded. When the new President Begnino Aquino III took power it looked like the project was dead.

But those who remembered that the project was first envisaged by  his mother Cory did not loose heart. Finally the New President has allocated the PHP 7.4 B. in the 2011 national budget and has personally voiced his support. Read more HERE. Aquino has renamed the Airport as the Bohol International Airport and reaffirmed the location in Panglao.

The boutique resort Eskaya, a member of SLH Small Luxury Hotels of the World is the only luxury hotel on Panglao. Now we finally anticipate new public announcements by hotel developers of forthcoming resorts and the associated hotel jobs and resort jobs. The major tourist groups that currently go to Panglao are Koreans followed by Japanese. Korean airlines have expressed interest in having direct flight to Panglao.

A small European community has been in Panglao for some time including an Austrian Bakery, a motorcycle club and a German villa hotel and restaurant

Umaabot na sa kalahating milyon ang sex workers sa Pilipinas at patuloy ang pagdami ng mga ito habang tumatagal kaya’t dapat umanong paigtingin ang kampanya laban sa sindikatong nagpapatakbo ng prostitusyon sa bansa.


Ang masaklap, sa na­sabing bilang, 100,000 dito ay mga menor-de-edad na karaniwang mabenta sa mga parokyano ng nasabing industriya.


Ito ang nilalaman ng House bill 1706 ni Tarlac Rep. Susan Yap na nag­lalayong ilibre sa kaso ang mga prostitutes dahil karamihan sa mga ito ay mga biktima lamang ng sindikato.


Sinabi ni Yap na base sa report ng Philippine Womensâ€,Commission, eksaktong kalahating milyon na umano ang bilang ng mga kababaihan na nagbebenta ng laman sa bansa.


Karamihan sa mga ito ay nasa Metro Manila na nagtatrabaho sa mga bahay-aliwan at kapag nahuhuli ay sinasampahan ng kasong kriminal gayung karamihan sa mga ito ay mga biktima lamang.


Nais ni Yap na baguhin na ang sistemang ito at sa halip ay itutok ang kaso sa mga sindikato at mga may-ari ng mga bahay-aliwan na nagbebenta ng mga kababaihan.


“We should not view the prostitutes as the source of the problem of prostitution. We should instead run after thos who lured them into this kind of business,” pahayag ng lady solon.

Palace: No reason for HK to issue black alert vs Phl

By Aurea Calica ( Updated December 15, 2010 12:00 AM Comments (5)   

MANILA, Philippines - Malacañang said yesterday that there is no basis for Hong Kong to issue another black travel alert against the Philippines

“We don’t know where that was coming from. Some of the countries have downgraded their travel advisories. So we have no knowledge on what basis did Hong Kong issue that black travel alert,” said presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda. Lacierda said the Palace would ask the Department of Foreign Affairs what action they had taken regarding the new travel alert.

Learn about early detection and risk reductionBy HEIZEL LARU-AN MAINARDecember 13, 2010, 1:19pm

In 2005, the Philippines had recorded over 4,000 new cases and 2,000 deaths due to this cause.  Worldwide, it claims one man’s life every 19 minutes.  Despite these numbers, symptoms are rarely made known until it is too late.  The disease is known as Prostate Cancer (PCa).

According to 2010 statistics, there are about six million Filipino men over the age of 50 who are susceptible to develop PCa.  Probability increases when there’s a family history of cancer.  Aside from this, an elevated Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) also triggers the development of PCa. 

In lieu of promoting prostate health awareness among Filipino men, Healthway Medical and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) have joined hands in partnership.  And while testing is one way to protect men from PCa, GSK shares the first and only approved medication that can help in the reduction of prostate cancer risk â€" the Dutasteride.

“The company conducted a study for the reduction of risk of PCA involving 4,000 patients from different countries while studies for the reduction of BPH involve patients from the Philippines.  In one study, 31.4 percent of patients with family history of PCa reduced the risk by 23 percent,” shares GSK medical director Dr. Joven Tanchuco. 

Meanwhile, urologist Jason Letran shares his observation over a marked evolution in the attitude of patients in his 12 years of practice.  “Before, I see prostate cancer patients to be in their 70s and in a very advanced stage.  Nowadays, we have patients even in their 40s or 50s, in their earlier stage, where cure is still possible,” tells Dr. Letran.

Diagnosed patients with PCa may opt for open surgery or laparoscopic surgery of which Dr. Letran is quick to note two potential effects associated with the removal of the cancerous prostate gland: loss of control of urine and loss of erectile function.

“With so many cases we have done, we’ve been able to preserve at least their control of urine quite satisfactorily.  With regards to the sexual function, we were not as successful as our American counterparts. However, with the new system like the robotic system, we would be able to identify the nerves better than the naked eye.”

Incidentally, the first robotic surgery in the Philippines was recently performed in The Medical City by Dr. Letran himself.   â€œWe still have ways to preserve their quality of life, prolong their survival.  Even for patients who are already far advanced, we still have ways to maintain their bodily function.  So they may live their longest pain-free survival as possible without very much jeopardizing their quality of life.”

In conclusion, Dr. Letran stressed that early detection and probably risk reduction is the best way to battle PCa. “If you love your family, you will go for a check-up.  If detected early, you can be cured.  You can be spared of your bodily function, you can be spared of your macho image plus the treatment can be done in a more humane way, and in a more elegant way.”

Girls and women acting out the sexual fantasies of online voyeurs around the world are part of a worrying offshoot to the Philippines’ booming outsourcing industry, authorities said. Cybersex dens are a growing problem in the Southeast Asian nation that has long struggled to curb child prostitution, according to law enforcers and social workers.

They said that cyber pimps are offering cheap services via the Internet in a seedy mutation of the country’s sunshine outsource industry in which call-center work and other back-office operations are done for companies in richer countries.

In one recent police raid on a house in Olongapo City in Zambales province in northern Philippines, five girls aged 14 to 18 and three women were found performing sex acts in front of web cameras for clients sitting at computers overseas.

“It’s a lot like working for a call center. We do shifts and we chat. They can also make us do anything, as long as they pay,” said one of the girls picked up in the raid who used the working nickname of Rainbow.

The girl, 15, and her sister, 17, told Agence France-Presse that they left their rural home on a northern Philippine mango orchard to work for their aunt in Olongapo City but that their planned employment as babysitters turned into cybersex work.

“It took us about a week to adjust, but after that, we became blase about it,” said the elder sister, adding that their aunt had stayed beside them during their work to ensure the online clients’ demands were met.

The aunt was arrested in the raid in October and has been charged with trafficking in children for prostitution, which carries a maximum penalty of life in jail.

A police report of the raid shown to Agence France-Presse said of the younger girl, “One of them was naked while in the act of inserting a sex toy in her mouth in a scandalous position.”

The girls are now undergoing counseling and rehabilitation at a local children’s center run by an Irish Catholic priest.

The center’s lawyer and counsellor, a trained psychologist, gave Agence France-Presse permission to speak with the girls.

The counsellor was present when the interview took place.

Pinrotesta ng China ang parangal kay Liu Xiaobo dahil insulto raw ito sa kanilang bansa. Maiintindihan natin ang mga reklamo at protesta ng China, pero anong kinalaman ng Pilipinas dito at bakit hindi tayo dumalo at tila nakisama sa China?

During the SONA address in late July, President Aquino claimed that prices of prime commodities were stable.

Barely 4 months after, his administration approved the National Food Authority decision to increase the retail price of NFA rice from P18 to P27 a kilo last Tuesday without previous notice or public consultation.

But why should the NFA lead the way by increasing the price of the poor’s basic staple, rice? When the P-Noy Administration assumed office, the price of NFA rice was only P18/kilo GMA admin price. It has gone up to P27 in less than 6 months. NFA Administrator Angelito Banayo justifies the increase by the need of NFA to reduce losses. But sir, the main cause of NFA losses is the overprice or tongpats on rice imports which ranges from P100-P500 million per total procurement depending on the quantity and the timing. When then Agriculture Secretary Arthur Yap bought about 2 million metric tons of rice at about $1,000 per metric ton, the Binondo rice traders suspected a $200/MT overprice. This is ultimately passed on to the poor consumer.

When will Malacañang’s student council, as Sen. Joker Arroyo calls the Palace officials, stop its nasty habit of making boners? Indeed, Malacañang’s propensity to follow a boo-boo with another boo-boo ceases to amaze me.
Amnesty Proclamation No. 50 issued by President Benigno Aquino 3rd had many flaws, as pointed out by well-meaning critics. Malacañang acknowledged this and withdrew it pronto, replacing it with Amnesty Proclamation No. 75. All’s well that ends well? Not so fast. The Palace followed this with another boo-boo!

When asked by the Senate to submit a list of potential beneficiaries of the amnesty, Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa gave one that included Sen. Gringo Honasan. I commiserate with Gringo who had also been charged with leading the various coup attempts against the administration of the late President Cory Aquino. “I feel like I am a serial suspect,” he said on his inclusion in the list.
The list submitted by Malacañang to the Senate Committee on Peace, Unification and Reconciliation headed by Sen. TG Guingona demonstrated the cavalier attitude of Malacañang to Senate hearings. It did not even subject the list to a thorough review. All it did was get a copy of the charge sheet against those involved in the various mutinies against then President Gloria Macapagal Arroyoâ€"and it so happened that Gringo was on that list.

Oh yes, four persons allegedly belonging to the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army were also in the list. Could they qualify then for amnesty? And how about those on the Malacañang list who are already dead? Is there such a thing as a posthumous application for amnesty?

Aside from the inclusion of the names of persons who should not be there, the list is also remarkable for the omission of the names of persons who should be there. Retired Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim said that 40 former Scout Rangers were not on the list. He said that these Rangers were detained for two years without any investigation or charges, and then dishonorably discharged “at the whim” of Lt. Gen. Hermogenes Esperon, the former chief of staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

Danny Lim, who was once connected with the office of Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago, is pushing for the inclusion of the 40 Rangers on the list of potential amnesty beneficiaries. If they are included, then they could qualify for either reinstatement or retirement benefits

 Over a thousand raffia weavers from Bohol will most likely benefit from the growing demand for raffia products from international markets such as Europe, United States, and Japan.

With the help of the European Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines (ECCP) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI-7), Bohol raffia weavers set the trend of produc-ing products made of raffia mixed with other sustainable materials for the global market.

Orders started to come in volume after finished products of the raffia weavers were showcased in various international shows such as the Bijoux Cebu 2010, Manila FAME exhibit, and the Sandugo Trade Expo in Bohol.

From the 83 materials developed by the project called "Business
Accelerator and Materi-als Innovation," 44 materials were chosen by the project's eight stakeholders namely; Bon-Ace Fashion Tools, GracieQ, Ferimar Import-Export, JimCaster International, Pa-cific Traders and Manufacturers, Design Ventures Inc., Hacienda Crafts Inc., and Bohol Beads and Fibers.

These stakeholders and exporters
converted the materials into fashion accessories, bags, gift items and furniture, which gained modest success and orders from both local and for-eign buyers, said Ingrid Haufe, ECCP Materials Research and Development project man-ager of ECCP.

The program, which is also assisted by the European Commission's MART-Cebu (SMEs for Environment Accountability, Responsibility, and Transparency), is also trying to de-velop a pool of weavers that are capable of making new design patterns and mixed media applications based on the latest trends.

According to Haufe, indigenous materials are gaining popularity among foreign markets due to the increasing preference of many consumers for environment-friendly products.

"Bohol is one of the provinces in the region that supplies good quality raffia along with innovative and artistic designs by weavers, Filipino products will make a big hit in the international market. It is a win-win situation for everyone - more demand means an in-crease in profit for exporters and more work opportunities for weavers," Haufe said.

This development, Haufe said will set the trend in the global market thereby creating de-mand for Raffia-made products, incorporated and mixed with recycled materials such as newspaper and softdrink straws, among others.

Raffia is a straw-like material that is used in many different craft projects. It is an inex-pensive product that can be found in any craft store. There are many uses for raffia, rang-ing from gift embellishment to a special kind of massage therapy. Although it is mainly used as a fiber, it can also be woven. This palm tree is abundant in Bohol, and other parts of the Philippines.

From August until September of this year, 150 weavers in Inabaga and Tubigon towns in Bohol were trained to weave the materials for volume production. This time, they are taught for strict international standard and quality, said Haufe.

Currently, the project is focusing on upgrading the quality management systems of the weaving centers to ensure quality and volume orders.

Raffia weaving is one of the oldest crafts of Boholanos. In the past, weavers only enjoyed selling their products to local market or tourists. With the entry of exporters placing or-ders coupled with the effort from private organizations in improving the quality of craftsmanship and innovation, these weavers are projected to become global players in the next few years

It is correct for Sen. Vicente Sotto to object to DOH buying P800 million worth

Congratulations and our admiration to Dr. Welthy Villanueva, a breast cancer patient, who crosses several mountains and 30 rivers in Palawan to reach the Batak tribe, who are still living in the stone age and minister to their medical needs.

The Bataks who are “negrito” still hunt and fish for their food. The adults are skimpily dressed in loin cloth, with the women bare breasted and children naked.

Dr. Villanueva’s example is truly heartwarming. His story raises a disturbing question of the DOH health personnel still not reaching distant barangays, especially indigenous tribes. And the Governor and Mayor? Shouldn’t they be visiting all their constituents?

National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS) warns the public of double dead ham and processed meat being sold in public markets. This should be sufficient to warn everybody not to buy ham not coming from reputable companies.

Up to now, the Bureau of Customs has not acted to explain the presence of tons of imported frozen meat from CHINA flooding the markets from Balintawak, QC to Cebu.

There are more serious priorities like setting up more dialysis machines in government hospitals or hiring more nurses to reach distant barangays HILABI NA SA BOHOL .

Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago threatened yesterday to “massacre” at least six Cabinet officials once they appear before the Commission on Appointments (CA).

“I am going to massacre these people. I have the law on my side. I have the power,” Santiago said.

She called the unnamed officials “smug, self-satisfied, non-elected appointees.”

“This is a very lightweight Cabinet. Boy, they are so lightweight they are liable to float on their own delusions of grandeur,” Santiago said.

“Akala nila kung sino sila. Dumaan muna sila sa halalan (They think they are such hotshots. They should get themselves elected first) because the power of government is exercised by the people, by the electorate in an election. They cannot just serve as arbiters of moral values in society or even of political values in our society,” Santiago added.

“They try and destroy our personal reputation and after year after year of working ourselves blind at night. I’m going to teach them a lesson in humility. God reform the world and begin with me,” Santiago said.

Santiago said Cabinet officials’ resumés should reflect academic and professional excellence. She said an official with low intelligence quotient “is committing a crime against the Philippine government and society.”

“Mga low IQ sila tapos ang tatapang nila (They have low IQ and yet they’re so mean),” she said. “Merit should also include not only academic excellence but also professional excellence.”

Crying Dinky
Social Welfare Secretary Dinky Soliman being interviewed from out of the country (Singapore?) and reportedly lamenting the brickbats that her proposed P21-billion conditional cash transfer fund has been getting.
Sorry, but we are constrained to say that Soliman’s lachrymose efforts are not working. She apparently wants to portray herself as crying for the “poor” who would not have their fill from the P21 billion she wants to dole out. That tear-jerker of an interview could only be interpreted as a Soliman-ic tantrum of one who was used to getting what she wants from the sitting President.

Soliman apparently wants to portray the critics of her P21-billion dole-out fund as anti-poor. That’s trash. Soliman’s crying bouts should not distract us. It is clear to everyone that she wants to spend P21 billion of our hard-earned money for a dole-out binge that does not have any clear benefit either to the poor or to us who will be made to spend for the money Soliman wants to give away.

Is Soliman crying because her P21 billion give-away fund is being scrutinized and questioned? This is childish. She should realize that what she wants to give away to her “poor” is our money. As such, we have the right to ask how spending our money would benefit the country. How that money is to be given away. By whom, through whom.

Soliman should heed the wisdom of Senate President Enrile who told media that the P21 billion “is the money of the people; none of it belongs to us in government”. Soliman should not portray herself as the only Filipino whose heart bleeds for the poor in this country. We cry for them too and we want to help alleviate their plight.

We are also willing to have our money spent for them. But it must be done right. And maybe, not by Soliman.

We hope our good senators do not succumb to the apparent emotional manipulation strategy of Soliman. Her crying bouts should not serve as a smokescreen to the many defects apparent in this P21-billion scheme. She has to stand up and face scrutiny. Tears cannot take the place of direct and transparent answers that satisfy all of us who are funding her itch to play Santa Claus to the poor.

Tourism junks ‘Wow,’ goes for ‘Kay Ganda’

THE Tourism Department has launched a Tagalog brand for the Philippines to stand out from the usual English brand of other Asian countries, Tourism Secretary Alberto Lim said late Monday.

“We need to be more daring in expressing our brand if we are to rise above the clutter,” Lim said as he unveiled the new Philippine brand that focuses on the country’s beauty and the warmth of its people.

The brand has the tag line Pilipinas Kay Ganda [literally, Philippines How Beautiful] and a colorful logo that incorporates the coconut tree, the Philippine sun and the tarsier, probably the world’s smallest primate.

“It is the result of intensive market research and a rigorous branding process done by one of the large agencies in the country,” Lim said.

But the brand was not yet final as it would still undergo market testing and focused group discussions to be refined.

Vicente Romano III, Tourism undersecretary for planning and promotions, said the use of Tagalog words in the tag line was aimed at promoting the Filipino character.

“We are using our own native name and the local vernacular to express our national pride and tell our story in our own way to make it rise above the competition,” he said.

He said the Tourism Department expected that some people would resist its launching of the new brand instead of maintaining the 8-year old “WOW Philippines.”

But Lim said a new brand always generated a buzz that translated to more media mileage for the same promotional budget.

“Even more importantly, this is a good opportunity for us to express in a fresh manner the hope and optimism that the Aquino administration represents,” he said.

But the new brand “cannot guarantee success” because “it is the faith and trust in the brand of various stakeholders that can make or break a brand.”

Hmm. Bisan honest mistake pa, that she wasn't informed. There was no need to shout in this case, whatever the rank or station in life of the person being addressed.

On the other hand, it makes us wonder if she would have done the same thing had Binay exuded a more impressive presence.  

You can not blamed the Secret Service nanigurado lang na sila.they are tough.

The discordant notes Ms. Mislang tweeted have added to the widespread impression that the new administration is being run by clueless amateurs. (One might espy a fossil or two, though.)

PAL is laying off 3,000 employees. Maybe, 500 more. PLDT announced it planned to cut 1,200 employees. Globe Telecom just reported a 24% decline in profits and may follow PLDT. Keihin Philippines, a Japanese car parts manufacturing firm has decided to close its Laguna Technopark facility at Biñan Laguna. Thousands of employees and consultants have been dismissed from their government jobs. More will be laid off if the proposed budget cuts of several departments are approved by Congress. Thousands of farmers who are typhoon victims will have no income this year. Many countries are reducing hiring and entry of foreign workers. Thousands of kuliglig (tricycle) drivers will be jobless by December 1 when they will be banned in Manila streets. Phil Export President Sergio Ortiz Luis Jr. reported that BPO centers are transferring expansion plans to Indonesia because of the strong peso. There are 200,000 unemployed registered nurses.

Many voted for P-Noy hoping to find jobs under him. It certainly wouldn’t happen this year or in 2011. The promised 43,000 jobs generated by his US visit two months ago are still up in the air and may materialize only in three to five years. The so-called public private partnership projects will also materialize not earlier than three years.

This is one of the major causes of US President Barack Obama’s shellacking in the recent US midterm elections. He has not created enough jobs for Americans. On the contrary, hundreds of thousands lost their jobs.

Malacañang says that P-Noy should not be compared to Barack Obama. After all, he has been in office only five months. Maybe true, but nothing has been announced so far on a positive job creation program. Economic planners are still asking, Where’s the roadmap?

Certainly, the bad peace and order situation now highlighted by travel advisories issued by six countries is not going to convince new foreign investors to come in and create new jobs. In its latest report, the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation said doing business in the Philippines is not easy. It’s easier in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam.

Mai Mislang’s now-infamous Tweeting about sucky wine, ugly men and the dangerous streets of Hanoi will now go down in history as one of the dumbest things any presidential speechwriter and member of a diplomatic entourage has ever done.
Way to go, Team Pilipinas. It’s already hard enough to get respect in the world arena, and we got Manny Pacquiao and Charice busting their butts in the realms of sports and entertainment to bring glory to the country. While here we have, in the other corner, the president’s own speechwriterâ€"an assistant secretary at that - creating this controversy by simply posting her discourteous opinions for the world to see.

I can see her now, wine glass(es) in hand (you recall she sampled both red and white), curling her nose up in disdain at the plonk that the Vietnamese dared serve her, then tapping out those fateful 140 characters-or-less for her tweeps. Send.
There are a great many speechwriters out there, more trustworthy, with delicadeza, and with infinitely better writing skills. Mislang is lucky, very lucky indeed, to still have the support of her bosses.

A REMARK by President Aquino earlier this week reminded us once again that there are two sets of rules in this administrationâ€"one for friends and allies, and another for everybody else.

Asked over the weekend what the government would do about communist demands that their detained consultants be freed before the peace talks resumed, the President said: “If these consultants have already been charged in court, the executive branch cannot just take unilateral action to have them freed.”

The explanation makes perfect sense until we remember that this is exactly what the President did when he granted amnesty to military rebels led by his ally, Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, last month.

Like the National Democratic Front consultants, Trillanes and his cohorts had already been charged in court when Mr. Aquino took unilateral action to have them freed.

The double standard that the administration applies can also be seen in the President’s decision to create a Truth Commission to investigate corruption charges against the members of the previous

administration. In the face of this massive effort to prosecute grafters, however, the President is quick to dismiss accusations against his closest lieutenants.

The dissonance that results from all this is the logical result of this administration’s penchant for ad hoc decision-making that targets enemies while favoring friends, and failing altogether to consider the full implications of official actions. This is aggravated by the administration’s antagonistic attitude toward the Judiciary.

When the Supreme Court stopped the Palace from firing the chairman of the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos because she was a “midnight appointee” of the previous administration, President Aquino accused the justices of  “testing the limits” of their constitutional authority.

“The potential result of this will be chaos and paralysis in the Executive branch of government, as the legitimacy of officials appointed to replace those already removed will be cast in doubt,” he said.

Later, when commenting on an international survey that placed the Philippines among the world’s 12th most corrupt countries, Mr. Aquino singled out the Judiciary as an obstacle to reform.

In making those declarations, the President showed no apparent concern for the wider chaos and paralysis that would ensue in society if nobody respected court decisions. That is a dangerous road down which we should not travel

MANILA, Philippines â€" A collaboration project in skills development and employment between the provincial government and several stakeholders is reaping success in many Bohol towns since its launch in January.

The Skills Training Advocating Reliance and Self-Employment (STARS) project in Bohol is a livelihood training project that offers free skills training that can help the trainees to get jobs.

STARS targets Boholanos in rural areas affected by insurgency. There are five provincial training centers, but these are not enough to serve the skills training requirements and provide livelihood opportunities to 1.3 million Boholanos.

It is a collaboration between the provincial government and the Local Peace Forum, Bohol Chamber of Commerce and Industry, League of Municipalities in the Philippines, Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), and the offices of the three representatives of congressional districts. The local government units are tasked to identify and recruit participants, designate training venues, and pay for the food and accommodation of trainers.

The project management board is currently headed by Bohol Governor Edgar M. Chatto as chairman, and Bishop Leonardo Medroso of the Diocese of Tagbilaran.

Total project cost is estimated at P26 million for two years. The three Bohol congressmen shared one million pesos each and the rest of the budget will be funded by the national and provincial governments.

Skills training programs will be conducted for free by a team of trainers. Tools, equipment, and training materials will be transferred without cost to the LGUs after completion of the training program. From the 1,109 barangays, some 26,616 Boholanos are expected to graduate from programs including welding, tour guiding, manicure/pedicure, hair styling/cutting, basic electricity, plumbing, therapeutic massage/reflexology, cell phone repair, driving, TV/radio servicing, household service worker, and small engine repair.

TRAINING OF TRAINERS

Prior to project implementation, TESDA trained 45 trainers. From January to June 2010, Project STARS had conducted 93 training classes and graduated 3,095 out-of-school youth, unemployed adults, and women trainees.

Graduates of Project STARS are assisted by the Bohol Employment and Placement Office (BEPO) in finding jobs. Others join skilled workers associations organized by local government units. Those who have the necessary seed capital opted to put up their own businesses and service shops.

While a pair of new high heels can always make a woman instantly feel good and sexy about herself, they can sometimes be irritating and painful especially after using them for hours or dancing in them â€" when our feet are already full of blisters and we can’t almost feel our soles. It’s also the time when we badly want to get rid of them and slip into comfy shoes.

Two shoe companies in England have responded to this dilemma in 2009 by installing vending machines with such comfy shoes for women to slip into. And where else but in nightclubs!

Rollasole and afterheels both sell rollable flats that come in funky colors and offer extra comfort. Anyone can just ditch the high heels and switch to flats for 5 pounds. The shoes also come with duffel bags which can be used to carry the painful stilettos home.

But one thing sets apart the two brilliant companies.  While Rollasoles come in four colors â€" Hi Ho Silver, Gold Digger, and Back to Black and Pink â€" afterheels offers shoes that are more eco-friendly.

Here’s what afterheels has to say about its shoes:

The body of the shoe is made from natural, sustainable materials which biodegrade in the same time as an oak leaf. The polyproylene (PP) insole is fully recyclable where local facilities allow.

The duffle bag is currently made from a low density polyethylene (LDPE) which is also recyclable where local facilities allow.


But shoes like this aren’t only offered in nightclubs. Shoe company Asics, which also sells shoes in their stores, has also ventured to this idea through their roving vending machines with comfy sneakers â€" perfect for walking the long pedestrians in the city. A pair of sneakers, their popular Onitsuka Tiger, costs $75 per pair

Ipatuman gayod sa kagamhanang Aquino ang programang K+12 ug 4+2 para sa edukasyon sa nasud sunod tuig. Ubos niining maong programa dili na puwede nga dawaton sa Grade I ang mga bata nga wa mag agi og pre-school. Mahimo na usab nga unom ang upat ka tuig nga High School. Busa ang mga mogradwar unya sa High School anaa na sa 18 anyos nga pangidaron.

Rason sa Malakanyang mao ang mga survey nga gihimo didto sa gawas sa nasud diin nagpakita nga mas taas ug maayo ang performancce sa mga tinun-an nga gradwado sa unom ka tuig nga high school kay sa mga gradwado sa upat ka tuig nga high school lamang. Unya maayo usab ang performance sa mga bata nga miagi sa pre-school sa wala pa kini mutongtong sa grade 1.

Way ayo ug dili makaayo sa mga ginikanang kabus ang programang nahuna-hunaan ni pangulong Aquino. Ok lang ang K+12 nga programa alang sa elementarya tungod kay nauso naman gani kini karon. Ang pagpatungha sa mga ginikanan sa ilang mga bata sa pre-school gikinahanglan na gayod aron dili mabiyaan sa klase ang ilang mga bata nga matipon sa mga tinun-an nga nagsugod og pre-school.

Apan ang pagdugang og laing duha ka tuig sa secondary education sa nasud maoy makapahapla sa mga ginikanan nga nagsukarap na tungod sa tumang kalisod. Ang gisaad nga kalamboan sa edukasyon sa nahisgutang programa damgo lamang ug usa ka matang sa pagpanglingla sa mga ginikanan ug mga tinun-an kay kun tumong pa sa gobyerno ang pagpalambo sa edukasyon nganong gilaslasan man niya ang gahin niini.

Ang edukasyon sa nasud ug ang iyang produkto maayo bisan pa og dili usbon ang tuig sa pagtungha basta hatagan lang kini og igong suporta sa atong gobyerno.

Ang gobiyerno dili makapaabot og maayong produkto sa iyang edukasyon kun ang halos tanang gikinahanglan alang sa pagtudlo wa niya ihatag. Ang gobyerno dili makapaabot nga maayo ug dekalidad ang mga gradwado sa iyang tunghaan kun naghuot ang iyang mga tinun-an sa usa ka classroom tungod sa kakuwang niini ug kun nagniwang na ang iyang mga magtutudlo tungod sa kadaghang tinun-an nga iyang tudloan kay nagkulang ang ilang gidaghanon.   

Ako nagtoo nga ang edukasyon sa nasud molambo bisan dili dugangan og dugang duha ka tuig ang secondary education basta tubagon lamang niini ang nahisgutang mga kakulangan.

Suportado ni Pangulong Aquino ang Reproductive Health Bill na inaasahang ipapasa ng Kongreso. Dito ikakampanya ng gobyerno ang iba’t-ibang paraan ng family planning kabilang ang paggamit ng condom, pills at iba pang artipisyal na paraan.

Pero mariing tinututulan ng Simbahan ang panukala. Ayon kay retired Archbishop Oscar Cruz, labag ito sa prinsipyo ng Simbahan.

“Population is wealth and it's population in fact that keeps this country economically afloat by the OFW all over the globe,” dagdag ni Cruz.

Dismayado raw ang Simbahan kay Pangulong Aquino.

Kaya’t ayon kay Cruz, obligayon ng bawat Katoliko na tutulan ang naturang batas kung ito’y mapapasa. Kabilang dito ang pagsasagawa ng “civil disobedience” at malawakang kilos protesta.

"Pero pag talagang ipipilit nila ito at si Bishop ay kikilos, sigurado akong may iba pang kikilos. Ang problema dito, ang kikilos ay hindi lamang yun ‘pagkat ayaw sa contraception, kikilos din yung ayaw kay Aquino and dumadami ito, " dagdag pa ng obispo.

Nakikiusap naman ang Palasyo sa mga obispo na maghinay-hinay. Okay lang daw ang tumutol ngunit dapat naaayon sa batas.

Ayon naman kay Congressnab Lagman, isa sa author ng panukalang batas, tama lang na gawin ng simbahan ang obligasyon na pangalagaan ang ispirituwal na buhay ng kaniyang mga miyembro, ngunit dapat hayaan rin ang estado na tuparin ang obligasyong pangalagaan ang populasyon.

MANILA, Philippines (UPDATE) -  Controversial tour guide Carlos Celdran was freed on bail Friday but could face even more sanctions after disrupting Mass at the Manila Cathedral Thursday to protest the Catholic Church's stance against contraceptives.

Celdran walked free from the Manila Police District Station 5 in Ermita at 4:30 p.m. after posting P6,000 bail before the sala of executive judge Sara Almalin of Metropolitan Trial Court branch 15.

The tour guide was arrested and charged with violating Article 133 of the Revised Penal Code after raising a ruckus during Thursday's ecumenical service at the Manila Cathedral.

Police said Celdran, wearing a dark suit and top hat, started shouting and held up the placard with the word "Damaso" in the the middle of a homily.

"Damaso" refers to Father Damaso, an abusive priest who is a character in Jose Rizal’s novel "Noli Me Tangere."

Celdran has apologized for the manner of his protest but not the content of his message.

"I don't blame anybody for what happened. Wala akong sinisisi. Pinaninindigan ko yung ginawa ko. Wala akong regrets. No regrets at all," he told radio dzMM.

Celdran, a much sought-after tour guide in Intramuros, said he made the demonstration to protest the Catholic Church's position against contraceptives.

"I am a Catholic and born Catholic. Marami Catholic sa Pilipinas who are very disappointed with the position of the church because it is anti-women's rights, anti-gay rights and anti-human rights especially when it comes to reproductive health. Ngayong nasa kulungan ako, we can see na anti-freedom of speech din sila," he said.

"Nakakatakot ang precedent na ito, na they have the power to put people in prison like the time of Jose Rizal. If you protest against the church and the bishops, you get hauled to jail. It sends a very scary message to Filipinos when priests can put you in jail," he said.

In response, the clergy of the Archdiocese of Manila issued a statement condemning Celdran's action and urged the Intramuros administration to make him account for his actions. The clergy consists of 238 priests assigned to 85 parishes, 2 chapels, 3 shrines, and hospitals and schools.

The statement said Celdran "willfully and with premeditation executed his protest inside the Manila Cathedral the church of the Archbishop and the seat of the Archdiocese of the Manila. The church is the Mother Church in the Archdiocese and is the central place for worship of the entire flock of the Archdiocese. This is the church where the past Archbishops of Manila are buried (in its crypt). This is where the Cathedra (seat) and the seal (coat of arms) of the Archbishop of Manila are displayed to symbolize his office, an appointment that comes directly from the Holy See."

The clergy said Celdran showed blatant disrespect for Manila Archbishop Gaudencio Rosales, the Apostolic Nuncio to the Philippines Archbishop Edward Joseph Adams and the bishops and priests and representatives of other religions present during the worship service.

It said the tour guide "disrupted the religious proceedings which included reading from the Sacred Scriptures, and preened in front of the altar with his offensive poster. Unstopped (because no one was prepared for such brazen action) he repeatedly pointed his poster towards the religious leaders and at the sacred altar, and at one time even shouted. When he was being peaceably led out of the Cathedral he shouted invectives."

SA Oktubre 8, 2010 ay 100 araw na sa puwesto si President Aquino. Subalit wala pang nakikitang plano kung paano niya paaangatin ang buhay ng mga mahihirap. Liban sa pagsasabing pagkakalooban ng cash ang mga dahop na dahop ang pamumuhay, wala nang iba pang planong naririnig. At ang pagbibigay ng cash sa mga dahop na dahop ay hindi maituturing na magandang plano sapagkat tuturuan lamang umasa sa gobyerno ang mga dahop? Sa halip na turuang magbanat ng buto, magkakasya na lamang sa paglalahad ng palad ang mga dahop at babagsak na roon ang limos ng gobyerno.

Maganda sanang marinig sa kasalukuyang administrasyon ay ang paglikha ng mga trabaho para ganap na maging produktibo ang mga dahop ang buhay. Nararapat turuan silang magpatulo ng pawis para ang kakainin nila sa araw-araw ay manggaga-ling sa kanilang pinagpawisan. Ano ang mangyayari kung lagi silang pagkakalooban ng limos? Hindi na sila magsisikap sapagkat meron namang nagbibigay.

Ang nakaraang Arroyo administration ay ganyan ang ginawa. Pinagkalooban ng cash ang mga dahop na nagkakahalaga ng P500. Karampot na pera para makatulong sa pang-araw-araw na gastusin. Pero tinuruan lang maging tamad ang mamamayan. Nang mabigyan ng P500 ang mga dahop, marami sa kanila ang umasa. Maraming naglahad ng palad para maambunan muli ng P500.

Natanggap na ng Pilipinas ang $434 million grant ng United States. Ipinagkaloob ito nang magtungo si Aquino sa US. Sabi ni US Secretary of State Hil-lary Clinton, gamitin sana nang makabuluhan ang pera para maingat ang kalagayan ng mga naghihirap na mamamayan. Nanawagan ang US na durugin ang corruption para matamo ng mamamayan ang maayos na pamumuhay.

Ngayon ay ang pagkilos ng Aquino admimistration laban sa nararanasang kahirapan ang inaaabangan nang nakararami. Malapit nang mag-100 sa puwesto at nararapat lamang na may mga plano kung paano ia-address ang paglaban sa kahirapan. Hindi sana masayang ang ipinagkaloob ng US. Hindi sana masayang ang kanilang tiwala sa mga Pilipino.

Unahon nila ang big corporation.ila pa man daginoton pila ra bay kita sa mag pa load.

Sa isang privilege speech kamakailan, binakbakan ni Iloilo Rep. Augusto ‘Boboy’ Syjuco ang sobra-sobrang importansyang idini-demand ng Chinese at Hong Kong government mula sa Pilipinas at sa sambayanang Filipino kaugnay ng pagkakapaslang ng walo nilang kababayan na nasa isang tour sa Maynila noong Agosto 23.


“Lahat ng paumanhin ay ginawa na nating lahat sa Hong Kong at China. Even President Noynoy Aquino apologized to the families of P/Capt. Mendoza’s victims. Lahat ng assistance ay binigay na natin sa kanila pati magandang embalm at mamahaling kabaong na nagkakahalaga ng P300,000 bawat isa. Bakit kulang pa ba sa halaga? Mas mahalaga ba ang buhay ng iba kesa Pinoy?” diin ni Syjuco.


Ang tinutukoy nito ay ang mapait na karanasan ng isang pamilyang Pinoy na nag-tour din sa Tiananmen Square sa Beijing, China. Kasama umano ni Filipino executive Emmanuel ‘Bong’ Madrigal ang kanyang asawa’t mga anak upang magbakasyon nang atakehin sila ng isang Chinese national na armado ng karit.


Pababa umano ang mag-anak sa isang sinakyang bus nang bigla na lamang silang salubungin ng suspek.


Una nitong inatake si Bong na agad nasawi. Agad na isinunod ang asawang si Vivian na lubhang nasugatan. Pa­ngatlong dinaluhong ng karit ang anak ng mag-asawa na si Regina Mia na nasawi rin sa madugong atake.


“Five years after that tragedy, there is no public record of any Chinese official acknowledging the tourist killing in Tia­nanmen Square and apologizing to the Madrigals or Filipino people for senseless murders of Bong and Regina Mia,” pagbubunyag ng kongresista.

It’s un-Christian

I have a message for Pastor Terry Jones, who has promised to publicly burn a koran on September 11:
Just don’t do it.

Rights are important. Constitutional rights to free expression are critical. But some things are more important than rights, and one of them is to do the right thing.
Burning a koran on September 11 is not a religious act, it is certainly not a Christian one. “Put away your sword,” as the Master pointed out. “Those who use the sword will die by the sword.”

Worse, in this case, they may cause innocents to die.

Pastor Jones attempts to cite Acts 19 as the “scriptural basis” for his koran barbecue:

“Many of those who had become believers came forward and openly acknowledged their former practices. Moreover, a large number of those who had practiced magic collected their books and burned them in public. They calculated their value and found it to be fifty thousand silver pieces.”

But those early Christians were burning their own books, not someone else’s sacred scriptures. Books were expensive luxury items in the days before the printing press. They could have made money selling these books, and instead they tossed them on the fire in a costly act of sacrifice as a proof of their own faith, not as an act of aggression against another’s.

I could have more sympathy for Pastor Jones if he were running risks for a cause greater than personal self-expression. If he were stubbornly handing out Bibles in Kabul, even though Afghans rioted, for example, Pastor Jones’ action might be foolish and unwise in worldly terms, but it would at least be morally admirable.

If he were a plain Mr. Terry Jones, a performance artist, a New York Times editor or even a professional atheist, I might have more sympathy. The guys who sling elephant dung over a Madonna or dunk a crucifix in urine to prove their commitment to their unfettered artistic freedomâ€"if any of those guys were doing this, I might still think it unwise, but at least they would be, for once, taking a real risk in pursuit of art instead of doing only what will win plaudits from all their friends, grant directors, museum curators, art reviewers and cocktail party hangers-on.

I could perhaps understand it if on September 11 Pastor Jones were doing something that primarily endangered himself, but instead, from the safety of America, he is endangering the lives of others in far distant lands, not the least of which are American troops in Afghanistan, who may fight and die for his publicity stunt.

“It could endanger troops and it could endanger the overall effort,” Gen. David Petraeus said in an interview with The Associated Press. “It is precisely the kind of action the Taliban uses and could cause significant problems. Not just here, but everywhere in the world we are engaged with the Islamic community.” Already in Indonesia, thousands are protesting in front of the US Embassy and demanding the US government intervene to stop it. That would be wrong, of course; it won’t happen.

Pastor Jones is free to do what he knows will provoke murderous rage in less enlightened people and landsâ€"in order to accomplish what? To prove that he can? To provoke bad behavior he can denounce?

This is not a Christian idea or a Christian act. It is a childishly adolescent act of self-aggrandizement.
Pastor Jones: Just don’t do it.

Filipinos have high hopes for President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III, who took power two months ago with the largest margin of victory in two decades and an 85% approval rating. His popularity rested mostly on promises of good values and cleaner governanceâ€"promises his mother, democracy icon Cory Aquino, made too. Yet his first major test in office shows how early political compromises are exacerbating problems in the weak institutions he's promised to reform.

On Aug. 23, a disgruntled former police officer took a tourist bus hostage and after a long stand-off, killed eight passengers, all Hong Kongers. The government's response was an exercise in incompetence. In public hearings that began Friday, police and politicians admitted that untrained, ill-equipped forces were used while elite units were put on standby; that national leaders played no role in the crisis response despite foreigners' involvement; and that ad hoc, unclear lines of communication between local politicians and local police complicated matters. To add insult to injury, the authorities in charge left the scene to eat in a nearby Chinese restaurant precisely when the killings began.

The incident sparked outrage in Hong Kong, where the government has called for an independent investigation and compensation for the victims' families. But Mr. Aquino only belatedly realized the gravity of the situation. His first instinct was to blame the national media for covering the event live, a sentiment that citizens in the blogosphere and on Twitter quickly echoed. When the hearings did little to quell public anger on Fridayâ€"two weeks after the fiascoâ€"he claimed responsibility "for everything that has transpired."

There is truth in that assertion. The agencies tasked with resolving the hostage crisisâ€"the Department of the Interior and Local Government and the Palace Communications groupâ€"are divided into two political factions, both of which are competing for political influence. Instead of choosing between them, Mr. Aquino rewarded both with high cabinet offices

Modern-day living is full of stress. Whether at home or at work, people are always under pressure. So it is important that our bodies are in good condition, ready to respond to any kind of demand.

In preparing our body, we have to eat right. There are essential nutrients that the body uses up during stressful situations, which eventually need to be replenished.

Here is a list of vitamins and minerals busy bodies need, the role that they play in the body, and the food items from which we can get them.

• Vitamin B1 â€" Also called thiamine, it is used to convert glucose to energy. Low levels of thiamine in the body leads to fatigue, memory problems, anxiety, and insomnia. Thiamine is found in pork, whole-grain cereals, yeast, liver, and brown rice.

• Vitamin B3 â€" Or niacin, it is essential for the normal function of the nervous system. Insufficient amount of this vitamin causes agitation and anxiety. Food items that are rich in niacin are fish, meat, green leafy vegetables, whole grains, and avocados.

• Vitamin B5 â€" Also pantothenic acid, it helps in the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and protein. It also helps in the secretion of adrenaline and cortisol. Among the sources of this vitamin are beef, eggs, whole wheat, avocados, and broccoli.

• Vitamin B6 â€" Or pyridoxine, this is essential for metabolism of amino acids and synthesis of serotonin, dopamine, and melatonin to keep us calm. Vit. B6 is found in meats, whole grains, bananas, spinach, and turnip greens.

• Vitamin B12 â€" This is needed for the production of red blood cells. It is present in is present in liver, organ meat, muscle meat, shellfish, eggs, cheese, and fish.

• Vitamin C â€" It protects from oxidative damage, aids in iron and copper absorption, formation of collagen, healthy bones, and fights infection. Good sources of vitamin C are green leafy vegetables, berries, citrus fruits, guavas, tomatoes, melons, and papayas, among others.

• Magnesium â€" It helps in formation of bone and teeth and assists the absorption of calcium and potassium. Sources of magnesium are dairy products, fish, meat and seafood, legumes, apples, apricots, avocados, bananas, whole grain cereals, nuts, dark green vegetables, and cocoa.

• Calcium â€" It is necessary for bone and teeth development and blood clotting. Rich sources of calcium are yogurt, milk, cheese, molasses, and green leafy vegetables.

• Zinc â€" Zinc helps build the immune system and fight some skin problems. Good sources of iron are dark green leafy vegetables, chickpeas, dried figs, avocados, yogurt, brown rice, bran, and bananas.

• Manganese â€" This helps in the body’s utilization of vitamins B and C. It is found in green vegetables, eggs, wholegrain cereals, nuts, tea, and coffee.

• Potassium â€" Potassium is essential for growth, building muscles, transmission of nerve impulses, and heart activity. It is found in sweet potatoes, soybeans, avocados, bananas, yogurt and spinac

One of the problems of older women is insomnia or difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep. But there is good news: according to a small study by Dr. Helena Hachul of the Universidade Federal de Sao Paolo and her colleagues, estrogen-like compounds in soy, called isoflavones, may help postmenopausal women get good sleep.

In the study, Hachul’s team randomly assigned 38 postmenopausal women with insomnia to take either 80 milligrams of the isoflavones or a placebo for four months. At the end of the period, it was found that in the isoflavones group, average sleep efficiency went from 78 percent at the beginning of the study to 84 percent, compared to that of the placebo group, wherein sleep efficiency increased from 78 percent to 81 percent.

Among women given isoflavones, 90 percent reported "moderate or intense" insomnia at the beginning of the study, while 37 percent did after four months; in the placebo group, the percentages were 95 percent and 63 percent, respectively.

Between one-third and two-thirds of postmenopausal women have insomnia, Hachul and her colleagues note, but the causes underlying those sleep complaints may be varied.

Without knowing the source of postmenopausal insomnia, the researchers cannot say why soy seemed to alleviate it for many of the women taking the isoflavones.

In addition, because the study is small, the authors caution, it "does not permit the assumption that soy will act with the same efficacy for every woman." Nevertheless, they conclude, given that insomnia troubles so many women during menopause, "phytoestrogen treatment should be considered an option to improve patients' quality of life."

Hearing loss is one of the leading disabilities among older people. But eating more fish will help lessen the chances of getting this.

It was found in a study from the University of Sydney, led by Paul Mitchell, that those people who ate fish twice a week had lessen their chances of getting hearing loss by 42%, compared with those who ate only less than a serving a week. It was assumed that this was due to higher intakes of omega-3, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA).

“Dietary intervention with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids could prevent or delay the development of age-related hearing loss,” wrote the researchers.

It could be that the blood vessels connected to the cochlea, a snail-shell-like structure in the inner ear, benefits from these fatty acids. However, more researching needs to be done in order to prove this theory.

Detection and prevention of hearing loss

It is sad to note that a number of people starting to suffer from hear loss don’t know it yet. It is important for older people to pay attention to their hearing and have their ears checked. For younger adults, prevention is advised. Here are some tips to care for your ears.

Use hearing protection

Sound that is already above 85 decibels is considered loud, and prolonged exposure to this is damaging to hearing. Common sources of this sound are construction machinery and power tools like bulldozers, hand drills, and chain saw. Examples of protection that you could use are earmuffs and ear plugs.

Lessen the use of earphones

This is very common among teenagers. For mp3 player users, you are advised to limit your use of the gadget to give your ears a rest. And when using mp3 players, keep the volume at a reasonable level.

Folic acid and magnesium

It was found that high levels of amino acid homocysteine increases risk of hearing loss. Folic acid regulates levels of homocysteine. A dosage of 400 mcg a day of folate from food and 400 mcg of folic acid from multivitamin is recommended.

Another nutrient that is good for the ears is magnesium. It helps prevent noise-induced hearing loss. A daily dose of 400â€"500 milligrams of this nutrient is recommended.

SIMULA na ng buwan na may “ber” at kapag ganitong panahon aktibo na ang mga grupo na may “per” â€" holdaper, kidnapper, carnaper at iba pang may “per”. Banta na naman sila sa kaligtasan ng mamamayan. Ngayon, mas lalong malalakas ang loob ng mga k******n sapagkat kahit establisimentong nasa loob ng mall ang nanakawan, kaya nilang pasukin at limasin ang laman. At nagagawa nila ito dahil ang mga pulis ay natutulog sa pansitan. Bago pa makatunog o makaramdam ang mga pulis, nakatakas na ang mga k******n tangay ang malaking halaga ng pera. Kumain ng alikabok ang mga pulis.

Noong Lunes ng tanghali, hinoldap ng apat armadong lalaki ang automated teller machine (ATM) na loob ng isang mall sa Dasmariñas, Cavite. Tini-yempuhan ng mga holdaper na nilalagyan ng pera ng mga teller ang ATM at saka sinalakay. Lumaban ang dalawang guwardiya at kapwa nasugatan. Mabilis ang pangyayari at natangay ng mga holdaper ang hindi pa mabatid na halaga ng pera. Tumakas ang mga holdaper sakay ng isang van.

Walang police visibility sa lugar kaya malayang nakatakas ang mga holdaper. Walang nakahabol na pulis kaya malaki ang posibilidad na sasalakay muli ang mga holdaper. Magpapalamig lamang at saka dadagit. Sabi ng police director ng Region 4-A, nagsasagawa na ng manhunt operation sa mga holdaper.

Laging ganyan ang nangyayari kapag nakapagsagawa na ng pagnanakaw ang mga masasamang loob. Hinahabol na umano. Mayroon nang impor-masyon kung saan nagtatago. Bakit ba hindi panatilihin ng PNP na magpatrulya sa mga lugar kung saan ay maraming tao at kung saan may business establishment kagaya ng mga banko, money changer, pawnshop at iba pang negosyo? Bakit ba hindi magposte ng mga pulis sa mga mataong lugar para magdalawang isip ang mga k******n.

Hindi naman sana mahimbing sa pagkakatu-log sa pansitan ang mga miyembro ng PNP. Mas­yado na ngang apektado ang kanilang imahe sa naganap na hostage-taking, pati ba naman mga hol­daper ay kaya silang pagtawanan. Magbantay at magmanman lalo ngayong “ber” months.

taga manila ra naka pahimos ani unsaon na lang ang mga nag hatag ug buhis ang Visayas ug Mindanao nga walay subsidy sa goberno.

THE government will continue subsidizing Metro Rail Transit commuters at close to P48 each, based on the proposed 2011 General Appropriations Act, but will find ways to eventually reduce this amount, Budget Secretary Florencio Abad said Sunday.

“The Transportation Department is now studying proposals on how to reduce the subsidy. There are two issues being raised,” he said.

“First, if commuters are willing to pay P20 to P30 for air-conditioned buses and other public utility vehicles, why can’t they pay the same for the MRT where they will not be bothered by traffic?

“The second issue is equity. Why should our taxpayers from the Visayas and Mindanao subsidize the fare of commuters in Metro Manila? All of these are being taken into consideration.”

In a statement released Sunday, House Deputy Majority Leader Roman Romulo said the Aquino administration had asked for an MRT subsidy of P7.3 billion next year. That would be P2.2 billion or 43 percent more than the P5.1 billion subsidy to train riders this year

Alas-11:00 ng gabi umano pumunta si Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa sa Malacañang. Tapos na ang hostage drama sa Luneta.


Kaya ang nangyari, si Pangulong Noynoy Aquino ang nagbigay sa kanya ng briefing sa halip na siya ang mag-report sa Pangulo tungkol sa malungkot na pangyayari na ikinamatay ng walong turistang Intsik na taga-Hong Kong at ng hostage taker na si Rolando Mendoza.


Bakit gabi na nag-report sa Malacañang si Ochoa gayung dapat alam niya na may nangyayaring hostage drama?


Aba, maniniwala ba kayo na marami ang nakakita sa kanya sa lobby ng Peninsula Hotel kasama raw si Vina Morales at nag-iinom? Nalasing tuloy. Nag-goodtime habang tuliro si PNoy kung ano ang gagawin.


Ang lumabas, mas maraming alam si PNoy sa hostage drama kaysa kay Paquito Ochoa. Kaya ang nag-briefing sa kanya ay ang Pangulo. Baligtad.


Ano ba ang nangyayari sa pamahalaang Aquino? Parang walang in-charge. Dapat ang nagmamando ay ang Executive Secretary, si Paquito Ochoa. Kung ‘di man, dapat alam niya ang nangyayari at magmumungkahi sa Pangulo kung ano ang dapat gawin.


Paano magmumungkahi? Alas-11:00 na ng gabi nag-report sa Malacañang. Lasing pa raw.


Kung kalahati man lang ng balitang ito ay totoo, dapat sibakin si Ochoa.


Mapapahamak ang Pangulo dahil kay Ochoa.


Siyempre nakarating na sa mga awtoridad sa Hong Kong ang paglalasing ni Ochoa.


Hindi sila matutuwa sa ganitong pangyayari.


Sa tingin ng marami, puro palpak si Ochoa. Unang araw ng panunungkulan ni Pangulong Aquino, nag-isyu si Ochoa ng Memorandum Circular No. 1.


Bago nalamang mali, naikalat na. Nag-isyu ng bagong Memorandum Circular No. 1 pa rin. Noon ding petsang iyon, Hulyo 1.


Ang sumunod ay isang Executive Order na naglilikha ng Truth Commission.


Walang pangil ang commission at hanggang ngayon hindi pa nabubuo. Masama pa nito, sa third level official mag-uumpisa ang imbestigasyon sa kurakutan sa halip na kay Pangulong Arroyo.


May bisa ang Truth Commission hanggang Dec. 31, 2012. Maikli ang panahon.


Ano ba ang akala ni Paquito Ochoa? Matatapos ang trabaho ng Truth Commission sa ganung kadaling panahon.


Baka kahit isa walang matapos na imbestigasyon.


Hindi napapansin ni Pangulong Aquino na ang Executive Secretary ay tinatawag na Little President.

Siya ay may kapangyarihan na gamitin ang pangalan ng Pangulo sa pagganap ng tungkulin.


Paano magaganap ng tama kung puro palpak ang desisyon? Pagkatapos sa panahon ng malaking krisis na ikinagalit ng Tsina at Hong Kong, naglasing pa si Ochoa kasama ang maganda at sikat na si Vina Morales.


Dalawang buwan na sa tungkulin ang pamahalaang Aquino. Wala pa kaming nakikitang maliwanag na direksyon kung saan patungo. Lalo na sa paghabol sa mga kurakot.


Maliban sa paglikha ng Truth Commission, wala rin kaming naririnig kay Ochoa kung paano maghahanap ng katotohanan sa hinalang malawakang kurakutan ng rehimeng Arroyo.


Para bang wala siyang maimungkahi sa Pangulo. Saan tayo papunta kung ganyan?


Sasabayan pa ng paglalasing ni Ochoa.


Ang ginawang paglalasing ni Ochoa sa harap ng malubhang krisis na umabot sa malaking kahihiyan kay Pangulong Aquino, dapat palitan na siya. E, parang walang ano man sa Pangulo ang ginawang paglalasing ng kanyang Executive Secretary.


Base sa mga nakaraang pangyayari na puro palpak, baka maubos ang tiwala ng tao kay PNoy. E, di balik tayo sa kawalang pag-asa. Parang walang mangyayaring pagbabago.


Nagkamali ba tayo sa pagpili kay PNoy bilang Pangulo? Ganu’n na nga ang labas.


Parang hindi mahawakan ng Pangulo ang mga tauhan niya. Parang hindi siya iginagalang.

Sa pagkatinuod lang, kanang mga taga-Manila are some of the worst English speakers. They pronounce uncle as "ang-kel." Ang eagle as "e-gel". And they think they sound "social" when they rape the English language. Listen Robin Padilla's tv ad, he pronounced muscle as "ma-sel." Even kanang mga hosts sa abs-cbn ug gma7 utro sab. Kulang nalang nila ang Google, they would pronounce it as "go-gel."

British, American, and Australian English speakers would surely laugh them.

CEBU, Philippines
- Gikasagmuyo ni Provincial Board member Agnes Magpale ang pamahayag sa kanhi Ms. Universe nga si Gloria Diaz bahin sa mga
Cebuana nga dili makamaong mo-Englis ug buot niya kining papangayuon og public apology.

Sumala pa sa resolusyong buot ipadayag ni Magpale sa sunod nga sesyon kini mipadayag nga usa ka dakong insulto sa usa ka Sugbuanon ang pamahayag ni Diaz.

“Expressing our strongest and highest disgust over the insulting anti-Cebuano remark of the former Ms. Universe, Gloria Diaz, which she made during a recent TV interview, and demanding from her a public apology for such remark” matud pa sa resolusyon. Kahinumduman sa interbyu sa ABS-CBN kang Diaz kini namulong og: “Kasi when you think about a Cebuana can hardly speak English and of course Tagalog. Maybe she should answer in Bisaya,” nga giisip nga usa ka matang sa insulto sa mga Sugbuanon.

Sumala pang Magpale, basin wala masayod si Magpale nga ang Cebu maoy adunay labing daghan og mga call center companies dinhi ug ang Cebuano-English maoy daling masabtan sa mga langyaw.

“Maybe wa siya kahibaw that we have the most number of call centers and the English we have is more understandable than a native foreign language. Even Koreans learn English here in Cebu,” matud pa niini.

“For a former Philippine Ambassadress of Goodwill and supposed exceptional woman of beauty, Ms. Gloria Diaz should have been more circumspect in waggling her tongue in public, uphold the highest norms of propriety and decorum, and maintain the dignity and finesse befitting of an international beauty titlist,” dugang pa niini.

Si Diaz sa pamahayag niini sa The Freeman mihimakak nga iyang gipuntirya ang mga Cebuano ug mipasabot nga buot lang niya nga mahitabo nga mas makatubag og maayo ang usa ka contestant kun ang kaugalingong lengwahe niini ang iyang gamiton.

Apan si Magpale miingon nga ang pamahayag ni Diaz daw nagpasabot nga ubos nga kaliwat ang mga Sugbuanon.

“Such arrogant remark makes Cebuanos as inferior breed of Filipinos. Ilang tan-aw nato murag maids and it is very unfortunate,” matud niini

ang justice sa Pilipinas para lang sa naa kwarta kay pwede nila paliton ang judge ug ang ombudsman.command responsibility lang ang iya. how many billons pesos kinarakot sa mga bata ni GMA  ang ombudsman buta bungol . bisan kinsa man siguro sa sitwasyon ni Mendoza ma frustrated.sa Euro General lang nakalimtan na  syempre pag retire nya makakuha sya retirement ug pension nya for life.di man gud patas ang justice sa ato para lang sa naa kwarta.
