Cardinal Tagle joins Million People March


Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle arrives at the Luneta Park to participate in the Million People March against the misuse of pork barrel fund on Monday, August 26. Cheered by the crowd, Tagle urged the public to emphatize with the poor. Danny Pata

"We really wanted to be here. We wanted to be counted among the people with the same sentiments. We would like the resources of the government to be used properly, especially for the poor," she said in an interview.

Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle led a prayer and spoke during the event to appeal to Filipinos for integrity in all levels of society.

"Patunayan natin na marangal ang Pilipino. Marangal dahil may takot sa Diyos, paggalang sa buhay, pagpapahalaga sa kapwa tao, pagmamalasakit sa bayan at pag-aaruga sa kalikasan," the prelate said.

Judith Salvacion, a third year high school student from the St. Scholastica's College, meanwhile said that she decided to forego of her long weekend to join the call to prosecute individuals who pocketed public funds.

"Unahin po ang Pilipinas bago ang bakasyon. Para ho sa kinabukasan namin ito," Salvacion said in a separate interview.

Seen at the rally were various personalities and groups that have been at loggerheads on other issues, showing how corruption in the pork barrel system has tapped into a common nerve and bridged political divides.

The mass action also drew people from all walks of lifeâ€"from ambulant vendors to those checked in at the five-star Manila Hotel, located near the venue of the protest.

Sister Sofia from the Siena College in Quezon City decided to spend her Monday morning in the protest action instead of the convent to call for the proper spending of public funds.

Anti-pork barrel sentiment drives largest protest under Aquino

August 26, 2013

"Makibaka. Huwag magbaboy."

This was the dominant call of tens of thousands of white-clad Filipinos who gathered in Manila on Monday to stage a social media-driven protest against the alleged misuse of pork barrel fundsâ€"the largest mass action during President Benigno Aquino III's administration.

Occasional rainshowers did not stop from 75,000 to 100,000 people from trooping to the muddy grounds of the Luneta facing the Quirino Grandstand, a far cry from the ballyhooed one million the organizers aimed for.

But it was still the most diverse and largest political gathering seen in years, and coincided with similar events across the country and some cities overseas. Those who took to the streets could be the tip of an iceberg of growing discontent with corrupt politicians.

"There is something about this event. It is not always that Lasallians do this kind of actions." - contingent from De La Salle University

replies #94 to #99 from http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/ gallery

"We are calling for honesty and transparency from government officials." - Seminarians from Tahanan ng Mabuting Pastol in Cavite

"We are here in solidarity with other people who are fed up with what (Janet) Napoles is doing." - Poblete Boys Mountainbikers from Proj. 4

Members of the Eco Waste Coalition carry walis ting-tings to symbolize the demand for a clean up of the government.

August 26 2013: Social Media-Initiated Million People March

had this happened with 2 boys, i would have been suspicious of hubag and balong.

pero nag lisod jud ko kay di man ko undangan ni mr. hubak. sigihan lang gihapon ko ug tawag nga IDIOT, FOOL. mo second the motion pa jud si islander.

the problem started when you began believing that the posts of hubag are all about you.  i simply got impatient with your repeated rants and your trick of flooding the boards with these rants, regardless of the topic.  then you lumped everyone who disagreed or got impatient with you, including lolla and tigbao. 

next time, learn to apply a more targeted sense of humor.  come to think of it, if someone here, let's say hubag, says that someone is gwapo, would you presume it's also about you?  it looks like the problem really lies in you.

The Disabled Goldfish

Unfortunately, we don’t know the name of this little fish, but we do know that she’s lucky to have such a compassionate caregiver. For reasons that aren’t completely clear (it may have something to do with her swim bladder), the fish has a hard time floating upright in her aquarium â€" she tends to flip. Rather than doom her to a life at the bottom of the tank, her ingenious, anonymous owner designed what is essentially a fish wheelchair. The buoyant harness keeps the fish upright and keeps her body aligned. And if that weren’t sweet enough, her caregiver also hand-feeds her, to make sure she gets enough to eat.

Beauty

Beauty is a bald eagle who was shot and left to die in Alaska. The bullet decimated her beak, leaving her unable to feed. Consequently, when she was found by Jane Fink Cantwell of Birds of Prey Northwest, Beauty was emaciated and near death. Cantwell rescued Beauty, and with the help of the US Fish and Wildlife Service, brought the eagle to her rescue organization in Idaho. Though several experts claimed that euthanasia was Beauty’s only choice, Cantwell pushed for other options. She found support in a Boise-based engineering group who designed and created an artificial beak for Beauty, which worked well for a few years. However, last year Beauty experienced new, regenerative growth in her upper beak. Although this growth pushed off the prosthetic, it allowed Beauty to eat on her own for the first time since her accident. Cantwell is waiting to see whether a new prosthetic will be necessary.

Oscar

Oscar lost his hind legs in a gruesome combine harvester accident. When he was found, he had lost a significant amount of blood and his chances for survival were slim. Fortunately, his vet was able to treat the wounds and administer painkillers, but, sadly, could do nothing about Oscar’s lost mobility. That’s where veterinary surgeon Noel Fitzpatrick stepped in. In a one-of-a-kind procedure, Fitzpatrick drilled metal holes into what remained of Oscar’s legs and attached blade-like implants to the cat. Although Oscar can no longer venture outdoors, his successful operation means that he can run and play like a normal cat. And he also made the record books: He’s the first cat to ever receive prosthetic legs.

Winter

In 2005, rescuers found Winter, a 3-month-old dolphin, caught in a crab trap. She’d been entangled in the buoy line for more than a day, and it had cut off circulation to her tail, which eventually fell off. Concerned about her survival, rescuers took her to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Florida. There, specialists worked to create an artificial tail, and in 2007, Winter was fitted with her first prosthetic. Winter’s energy and enthusiasm was so inspiring that a movie was made of her story (she even got to star): “Dolphin Tale” was released in 2011, and a sequel is slated for next year.

Meadow

Another animal that lost limbs to frostbite, Meadow the Angus cow was discovered in a meadow (hence her name) by Nancy Dickenson. The calf was on Dickenson’s neighbor’s property, and had lost her two back hooves and part of her ears to frostbite. A seasoned animal rescuer, Dickenson arranged to purchase Meadow and then began the rehabilitation process. In 2009, doctors at Colorado State University amputated a portion of Meadow’s hind legs and fit her with double prostheses â€" something they believe is a first for cows. Although Dickenson knew that Meadow’s care would probably cost thousands of dollars, she had no qualms about it. For Dickenson, Meadow is just one of the family pets.

Naki'o

Naki’o was born able-bodied, but as a puppy, he was abandoned in a house in Nebraska during winter. When rescuers found him, he was in a puddle in the basement; his mother had already died, and Naki’o was severely frostbitten. Although rescuers managed to save him, Naki’o lost all four paws to frostbite, as well as part of his nose and tail. A veterinary assistant adopted Naki’o, and once he recovered, his legs healed into rounded stumps that made prostheses a viable possibility. His owner saved enough money to purchase two artificial legs from a Denver-based vet hospital called Orthopets. Orthopets was impressed at how well Naki’o maneuvered with his two new hind legs, so the hospital covered the cost of creating front legs as well. He’s now able to run and jump, and his bionic legs have special grip pads that allow him to move on slick surfaces.

Chris P. Bacon

When Chris’s owner discovered that her piglet had been born with malformed hind legs, she took him to the vet to be euthanized. But rather than putting him down, the doctor decided to rescue Chris and have him fit for a special wheelchair. Dr. Len Lucero fashioned Chris’s first wheelchair out of K’Nex toy parts, and when Chris outgrew it, upgraded to a device made by Handicapped Pets. Now Chris has an active website that sells t-shirts (profits go to the Disabled American Veterans fund) and schedules pig appearances.

Chhouk

As a baby elephant in Cambodia, Chhouk was caught in a poacher’s snare. When rescuers from the World Wildlife Fund elephant patrol found him, he was emaciated and in severe pain. Because he’d lost part of his front leg in the trap, it was difficult for him to move and he was struggling to survive. Rescuers were able to get Chhouk (his name means “Lotus Flower”) to Wildlife Alliance, where they treated his injury and where he was adopted by a surrogate mom. However, because he was so off-balance, he was at risk for serious bone deformities. So in partnership with the Cambodian School of Prosthetics and Orthotics (and with funding from the SeaWorld Busch Gardens Conservation Fund), Wildlife Alliance was able to build a prosthetic foot for Chhouk. He’s now on his fifth one â€" they have to be replaced as he grows â€" and is a mobile, energetic elephant.

Mr. Stubbs

Mr. Stubbs is a seven-foot alligator whose tail was bitten off (most likely by another gator). In 2005, he was rescued, along with 31 other alligators, from the back of a truck, where the reptiles were being transported illegally. Aware that he couldn’t be returned to the wild, the Arizona Fish and Game Department turned Mr. Stubbs over to the Phoenix Herpetological Society. While there, he was taught to doggy paddle with his front legs, but eventually the society was able to fit him with a prosthetic tail, which he moves by wiggling his rear stump. His handlers are now working on training him to use the new limb.

Buttercup

Buttercup is a domestic white duck, and was born in a high school biology lab. Sadly, Buttercup was born with a deformity â€" his left leg was backwards. He was given into the care of Mike Garey of Feathered Angels, who was determined to save the duck (Buttercup would have been unable to survive with his disability). Buttercup’s bad leg would bleed when he tried to walk on it, so the first step was to have the limb amputated. Then, using a 3-D printer, Garey created a mold and fashioned a new limb for the duck. Buttercup took to his new foot immediately, and is able to walk and swim like other ducks. His remarkable story even caught the attention of AFLAC, who donated $3,000 to Carey and Feathered Angels to help other injured animals.

Willow

Poor Willow the kitty was born with backwards hind legs. While the other kittens in her litter quickly found homes, no one wanted to adopt Willow and deal with her disability. No one, that is, except Wendy Matthews, who learned about Willow via Craigslist. Matthews drove 40 miles through a snowstorm to adopt the kitty, but it wasn’t long before a new problem presented itself. Willow was mobile, moving by dragging her useless hind legs, but her legs were being injured in the process. Cats have delicate skin and don’t form calluses, so Matthews came up with a unique solution: she crocheted a pair of leggings to protect Willow’s skin. Not only did it improve Willow’s mobility, but it spawned a new venture. Matthews founded Leggings for Life, which has now aided more than 150 animals around the world.

12 Special Needs Animals That Survived and Thrived


Allison

When Allison the sea turtle arrived at Sea Turtle Inc. in South Padre, Texas, experts thought she had little chance of survival. The bloodied, battered turtle had lost three of her flippers in a shark attack, and with only one remaining, was reduced to swimming in circles. Workers at Sea Turtle Inc. nursed her back to health and then began devising ways to help her swim. They started with a prosthetic flipper, but Allison didn’t have enough of a stump left to attach it. Undeterred, they continued working until they came up with her neoprene “ninja suit,” which allows Allison to swim and dive normally. Allison has adapted so well to her suit that she now swims away from the team when they try to remove it.

this made my eyes wet.  his name is kaiser, so i remembered your own wilhelm.  

unfortunately for the frenemy, one miming avatar equals one battalion on the battlefield, aherm.

i'm too tired to look for that post of yours now so i can quote you here, but i remember clearly, because i was aghast over it, that you said that taga tigbao does not know how to be grateful.  then you went on to declare, with enough presumptions, that votives and wardiflex are henceforth your soldiers or something.  what other conclusions can i make of these?

thanks.  let me tell you one thing about myself, and i may not repeat this; i'm good at left-handed hooks, uppercuts, and wallops.

twinkling... what a way to describe faith.  it soothes.  it doesn't burn.  it affects gently.  it doesn't prod.  twinkling.  as in the heaven's stars and the valley's fireflies.  they flicker and glimmer.  and inspire. 

i still hope the guy was saved.

goodness me.  the news does not say anything about the young man being saved, or having disappeared forever.  it's a news item, not a thriller of a novel, so it must not presume the reader can make his own conclusions.  meanwhile, why don't some of our legislators do the same thing?  i mean, swim the same way.  it looks like they'd rather be crocodiles...

glad you're back, honest.

I have rescued kittens and cats in the hope of, even in a small way, giving a better life to the rescues.

It saddens me no end when I read stories in the news about how we have failed to keep our rescues alive and well.

Hopefully, with a new law and stiffer penalties for people who commit animal cruelty, the world will be a kinder place for animals.

http://m.philstar.com/

There are many animal cruelty issues and people have taken opposing views on many of them. But, for us animal-lovers, there is only one view â€" no to animal cruelty â€" in whatever form.

“The problem of inhumane management of city pounds is a common problem. The root of the problem is mayors who refuse to appoint city veterinarians and to set aside a budget that will make sure their respective cities have animal-control facilities that operate humanely, “ said Cabrera. “Stray dogs that are caught must be given food and water â€" every day, even during holidays. If they see this issue as a trivial one, then it goes to the very core of these candidates, it shows whether they are deserving to be voted in by people who care for animals.”

Here are some of the congressmen and senators who were big supporters of the amendments for the Animal Welfare Act.

Rep. Bernadette Herrera of Bagong Henerasyon Party List â€" she authored the amendment for the Animal Welfare Act and was responsible for lobbying for the amendments to be taken up in committee hearings.

Rep. Boyet Gonzales of Mandaluyong â€" he is responsible for supporting the animal welfare act amendment for Second Reading in the Lower House.

Rep. Raymond Palatino of Kabataan party-list â€" He filed House Resolution 2759 directing the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Commission on Higher Education (Ched) to prohibit public school field trips to marine parks.   Palatino cited studies that have shown that keeping dolphins and whales in captivity also shortens the lifespan of these animals. In Ocean Adventure Park in Subic, four out of five false killer whales and a bottlenose dolphin used for performances have already died. All of these animals were from Japan. “Is this what we want our youngsters to learn â€" that people would risk endangering the lives of endangered animals just for entertainment? The nation’s youth deserves the right to be informed correctly and protected from misleading facts,” Palatino said.

Sen. Chiz Escudero and Sen. Gringo Honasan â€" both senators have supported the amendment of the Animal Welfare Act in the Senate and have stated strong positions that the 14-year-old Anti-Cruelty Law must be updated to impose heavier penalties for animal offenders.

The passage of the amendments to the Animal Welfare Act are indeed welcome for those of us who have seen, heard and even witnessed how cruel some people can be when treating stray animals.

In hindsight, it’s good that during the last election, PAWS campaigned for the election of “pet-friendly” officials.

I am well-aware of the fact that there are so many problems that ail our beautiful country â€" yet, as far as I know, people are better people if they treat their animals well.

1. Increase in penalties in the following graduated scale.

2. Deputization of animal welfare officers from trained NGOs, citizens’ groups to rescue illegally traded and maltreated animals and arrest violators subject to guidelines of existing laws and rules and regulations on arrest and detention.

3. It shall be unlawful for any person to abandon an animal.

PAWS knows just how badly the increase in penalties is needed â€" having come face-to-face with animal offenders who end up paying a measly P2,000 in fines after having been convicted of animal cruelty.

Here are the highlights of the amended Animal Welfare Act:

meanwhile, from the philippines...

A kinder future for animals

June 21, 2013
DOG DAZE By Kathy Moran

Finally, lastJune 16, the Senate passed for the third and final reading the amendment of the 15-year-old Animal Welfare Act. It was a cliffhanger moment for May Felix-Razon and Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) executive director Anna Cabrera as they waited at the Senate Bills and Index section for the final, third-reading version of the bill.

The confirmation that the House of Representatives had adopted and concurred with the Senate version came in before Congress wrapped up its last session.

The bill, which was introduced by Senators Miriam Defensor-Santiago, Greg Honasan, Manny Villar and Francis Pangilinan, is now in the process of “enrollment” and is ready for signing into law by President P-Noy.

10. House Plants for Rooms
Once you've cleared out the stench, liven up your home's ambient aroma with houseplants. Scented geraniums and Arabian Jasmines are two varieties that come highly recommended for their odoriferous scents.

9. Salt and Cinnamon for Stove Spills
Next time soup or stew boils over, patter a few pinches of salt and cinnamon onto the spill while it's still warm. After it's dry, scrape off the residue. Future meals won't transmit that smoky smell and have your neighbors calling the fire department on you.

8. Baking Soda for Sneakers
Don’t ditch your barely worn sneakers just because your nose is ready to run for the hills. Sprinkle baking soda inside each one and let them sit overnight. In the morning, tap the powder off outside and the stenches will be shooed away.

7. Coffee Grounds for the Fridge
If your meat locker stinks like a gym locker, fill a nylon stocking with coffee grounds and toss it inside the back of the fridge. The invigorating scent of java overpowers odors from fish, cheese, and other harsh-scented foods.

6. Onions for Basements
After a hard rain, deploy an onion to absorb mold and mildew odors. Just slice one down the middle and let it sit in the cellar overnight. By morning, your eyes may tear â€" though not from the onion, but from the joy of an odor free basement!
