i believe the point here is that in terms of preponderance, celebrities who win elections win not because they're qualified (it's a given for all takers as long as they're filipino citizens) but because they're charmed with name recall.  i don't think people vote for them because they believe they can do better. 

as for politics and law, well, these can be studied and crammed, which celebs-turned-politicians can do very well despite their lack of academic background and discipline.  it is those years of a certain kind of lifestyle and attitude (like playing to the cameras) and having those pesky groupies around them that they carry over to their new jobs that become the bane.  besides, they tend to continue acting.  so we have elected officials who suddenly have movies during election time (holding 2 jobs?) and others who have tv appearances in cooking lessons or comedy shows.  acting has been brought even to the august senate halls lately, as you may know.

yes, the u.s. had ronald reagan the great communicator.  but we're not the u.s.  besides, reagan is the exception rather than the rule.  we can see that for every reagan there's a schwarzenegger and a sonny bono too.  and i doubt if the u.s. will ever consider brad pitt or tom cruise for president.  which brings me to the question of joseph estrada; do we really happen to miss him?

Marco's Millions
by William Sleator

Marco has always been obsessed with travelling.  When his younger sister, Lilly, discovers an invisible tunnel in their basement, he can't resist crawling into it. What he discovers there is truly fantastical - a world inhabited by insect-like creatures. They communicate via telepathy, and tell Marco that they need Lilly to help them contact The Unknowable (their 'God') and thus prevent their world - and Marco's - from destruction. Lilly is too scared to venture in to the hole, so Marco agrees to go in her stead. Once there, he must take a mysterious box on a long journey to the Unknowable - a singularity that acts as a gateway between millions of different universes. When he discovers a second box, he is given the power to control gravity and time. And, at the gateway of the singularity, with its numerous adjoining universes, Marco knows that he really can go absolutely anywhere... (amazon.com)

foremost of which are the legendary ones.

Blogger Sarah Pope demands apology from Senator Sotto

Maui A. Hermitanio
Saturday, 18 August 2012 

US-based blogger Sarah Pope demanded an apology from Senator Vicente Sotto III who copied parts of her blog without attribution for his Turno en Contra speech on the controversial Reproductive Health Bill last week.

In a Skype interview with Radyo Inquirer, Pope said, “None of this would have happened if he [Sotto] has the guts, he must be very spineless, to not be able to be man enough to just say ‘I’m sorry.’

“He should take responsibility for his staff as any leader would,” Pope further said.

Sotto’s Chief of Staff Atty. Hector Villacorta admitted that their staff indeed copied parts of Pope’s blog, Healthy Home Economist, but found nothing wrong with what they did and said that ‘blogs are meant to be shared.’

Villacorta posted a comment on Pope’s blog: "I understand you felt slighted that your blog was not attributed to you which became part of the speech of the senator."

"Let me say that after asking my staff, indeed your blog was used but only in quoting also from the same book of Dr. Campbell-Mcbride."

Sotto earlier denied plagiarizing Pope and earned the ire of bloggers with his comment, "why should I quote a blogger? Blogger lang siya."

In a post on her Facebook page, Pope said, "Nice touch Senator. You almost had me convinced you were a nice guy with the tears and all. Many of your citizenry have emailed me assuring me that it was a put on, and I'm starting to think they are right."

"A thief is a thief, Mr. Senator. Denying it doesn't get you off the hook; it just makes you a lying thief," she added.

Pope said she will not sue or take legal actions about the issue.

Filipino bloggers launched an online petition demanding sanction against Sotto.

    (2) gut imbalance brought on through use of The Pill negatively impacts the ability to digest food and absorb nutrients. As a result, even if a women eats spectacularly well during pregnancy, if she has been taking oral contraceptives for a period of time beforehand, it is highly likely that she and her baby are not reaping the full benefits of all this healthy food as the lack of beneficial flora in her gut preclude this from occurring.

    (3) Pathogenic, opportunistic flora that take hold in the gut when The Pill is used constantly produce toxic substances which are the by-products of their metabolism. These toxins leak into the woman’s bloodstream and guess what, they have the potential to cross the placenta! Therefore, gut dysbiosis exposes the fetus to toxins.

    (4) Not well known is the fact that use of The Pill depletes zinc in the body. Zinc is called “the intelligence mineral” as it is intimately involved in mental development.

...Actually, these contraceptives are not just detrimental to women and the unborn.  They are scientifically proven to have damaging effects to children born from mothers who were using contraceptives prior to their pregnancy too.  According, to Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride MD, the use of the pill also causes severe gut dysbiosis.  What is worse, drug induced gut imbalance is especially intractable and resistant to treatment either with probiotics or diet change.

Everybody says  Sotto plagiarized... can anyone here post sa original article aron masuta nato kung ni plagiarized ba jud. I preach a lot and there are many times I used google for my talk - which I tell my listeners - but without quoting the specific author. I guess I've plagiarized too! 

i'll hazard a look at some difference between your homily and senator sotto's anti-rh bill turno en contra...

your homily is meant to inspire.  it may veer towards reminding the flock about age-old values, those principles and beliefs distilled by both biblical and secular history.  these are no longer debated upon because they have withstood the test of thousands of years.  many more generations will repeat and pass on the same unchanging words about these foundations of our humanity. 

your words will never go down in history as on official record of a legislative body where a legislator's official speech is archived as his own, there where it would be on record as the speech that either obliterated or changed the country's reproductive health bill for good or ill.

his biggest mistake was to declare, on tv at that, that he didn't plagiarize; blogs aren't subject to plagiarism in his twisted logic---"blogger lang yun".  tua, gisumsoman na hinoon sa mga bloggers.  "senador lang yun", according to one.  unsa na man lang tawon ang iyang utok compared to bloggers like fr joaquin bernas (pro-rh bill) or paul krugman (nobel prizewinner economist)?  yabo.   

mora gyod tuod nig giyera nga kung asa ang weakness, adto tirahan.  kung art of war pa ni sun tzu, confuse the enemy, weaken their position.  wa bay laing senador diha nga molaban nato.  nagtakiang na man sa perception ning atoa... dugangan pag cry-cry, samot.  i'm still hoping for the best, though.

model farts are nothing.  some farts can wage wars.

the paper is about violence against domestic helpers in south africa, as one can see.  but without citing the source, the reader can be led to believe that it might as well be a study on our local domestic employment situation.

Since there are no regulations controlling these matters, the contractual relationship between the worker and her employer is determined by the common law.  This law has been identified by Flint (1989) to be inadequate in that it reflects, as well as reinforces, the inherent inequalities between the employer and the employee. Haysom and Thompson (1986) also describe the common law contract as having freed the employer of any binding legal obligations concerning his/her employees.  Their criticisms are rooted in the assumption that a contract is voluntarily entered into by equal participants who both agree on terms of contractual exchange.  This assumption, however, does not apply in the case of domestic workers.  They are hardly in the position to dictate terms of employment contract requirements.  As Delport (1990) puts it, employers often have the sole and exclusive control over conditions of employment.  Entering into a contract could therefore not be in the interests of domestic workers, but to their detriment.

-from The Best Kept Secret: Violence against domestic workers
as presented by Mmatshilo Motsei
University of the Witwatersrand
Johannesburg, South Africa

full research paper at http://www.csvr.org.za/wits/papers/papmmots.htm

Domestic workers, unlike other workers in the factories, offices and mines, are not protected by any of the Acts of Parliament that offers a form of protection to these workers.  These Acts control matters such as wages, hours of work and other working conditions.  The most common form of recruitment in domestic work is by word of mouth, the terms and conditions of employment are rarely recorded, thus leaving the domestic worker unprotected in cases of later disputes.  This feature of subordination of the worker and lack of protection, makes domestic workers vulnerable to arbitrary dismissal, deductions from wages for breakages or lost property, evictions from the backyard rooms, withholding of wages by the employer and many other unfair labour practices.

an academic paper's look into this kind of domestic violence (i.e., domestic helper bashing); excerpts:

While some of the domestic workers are part of the urban working class, many of them are from impoverished rural backgrounds with little or no schooling.  For the rural, poor and illiterate migrant coming to the city, domestic service seems to provide an ideal solution to the problems of unemployment and lack of accommodation.  Driven by poverty and the lack of employment opportunities in the rural areas, these domestic workers are forced to earn some money to support their families - even if it entails being separated from them.  Their very desperation makes them all the more vulnerable.  Their need to keep a job, no matter how bad the conditions, forces them to remain in situations of extreme exploitation with no recourse to legal protection.

di gyod ko makakita ug pictures aning marzan couple, labi sa wife nga analiza.  kalami na lang unta ibansiwag dinhi ang iyang nawong as the monster that she is.

our country demands a certain pay level and insurance from employers of our domestic help abroad.  we have no such requirements here.  if there are, no enforcement is made at all.  we are hypocrites.

akong officemate sa una... kun taparon mi, wa ra ko sa kiting sa iyang pagka-sweet.  ambot nga sa tinuoray di man gyod ko kasabot nganong di kahibawong magtarong ug estorya sa ilang household help.  puro singka, puro duda.  my goodness, lupig pay tawo nga magsigeg singka sa ilang irong kagiron.  as usual, people are not always what they seem...

kusog ta mangreklamo bahin ug pangdaog-daog ug mga domestic help nga ofw, di kaayo matagad ning gipangdaog-daog nga local.  naa pod ni daghan sa ato, di lang matagad ug publicity.  uy, gabriela, asa na mo?  magpili ra ba diay mog tabang ug demo-demo sa mga high profile cases nga ma-televised mo?

purya gaba.  even an animal should not be treated this way.  if only there's a way to have this couple rot now instead of waiting for hell.

my apologies, gingonline.  i feel the apologies should come from me because i was the first to make the comment. 

the joke is not meant to disparage your advert.  when i made that comment, it was more out of my curiosity on why the product endorser is boy abunda.  it had nothing to do with your product, it was never about your product. 

you're right of course; it's not grass on boy's head.  that's why one can look at the joke as just that, a joke.  by so doing, one can also look at its upside.  more readers have viewed your post because it was refreshed with the responses.  otherwise, your advert may have been buried under the deluge of posts.  here at tb, sometimes, bad news is good news.

thank you.  now i know another health product that i'm willing to try very soon.  (where does one buy this in manila?  and may i know the retail price?)

the sad part is that like official letters (once you sign it, it's yours regardless of who wrote the draft) it's SOP in speeches, especially official ones, that once you deliver them, they're yours and you take responsibility for every word you utter. 

they say it's a staffer who wrote it.  but of course, it's always that way.  (a rare senator who wrote his own speeches was the late raul manglapus.)  some fall guy must always take the blame.  still it's senator sotto who plagiarized.  too bad, the focus now is his plagiarism and not his stand against the rh bill.

Investigation

Republican Representative Dan Burton once publicly questioned the use of White House staff, postage, and stationery to answer mail addressed to the cat.

-wikipedia

In June 2008, Socks was still living with Currie and her husband in Hollywood, Maryland, about 60 miles from Washington, but had a thyroid condition, hair loss, weight loss, and kidney problems.

In December 2008, Socks was reported to be in failing health, apparently suffering from cancer.

Socks was euthanized on February 20, 2009, in Hollywood, Maryland, after suffering cancer of the jaw.  It was also estimated that Socks would have turned 20 in the spring of 2009, placing his birthdate in the spring of 1989 rather than 1990.

-wikipedia

Socks found Buddy's intrusion intolerable; according to Hillary Clinton, Socks "despised Buddy from first sight, instantly and forever."  Bill Clinton said, "I did better with ... the Palestinians and the Israelis than I've done with Socks and Buddy."  When the Clintons left the White House in 2001, in a controversial move they took Buddy to their new home, but left Socks under the care of Bill Clinton's secretary, Betty Currie.  Buddy would die within a year, being hit by a car in 2002.

In December 2002, Socks was part of the Little Rock Christmas parade.

In October 2004, Socks made a then-rare public appearance when Currie was guest speaker at an Officers' Spouses Club luncheon at Andrews Air Force Base.  Socks accompanied her and took part in a photo op.

-wikipedia

Socks with Betty Currie, President Clinton's secretary

Socks was adopted by the Clintons in 1991 after he jumped into the arms of Chelsea Clinton while she was leaving the house of her piano teacher in Little Rock, Arkansas, where he was playing with his sibling, Midnight.  Midnight was later taken in by another family.

When Bill Clinton became President, Socks moved with the family from the governor's mansion to the White House and became the principal pet of the First Family in Clinton's first term, though he was known to share his food and water with a stray tabby, dubbed Slippers.  He was often taken to schools and hospitals.  During the Clinton administration, children visiting the White House website would be guided by a cartoon version of Socks.

He eventually lost the position of principal Clinton pet in 1997 when the Clintons acquired Buddy, a Labrador Retriever.

-wikipedia

more about socks from wikipedia...

Socks Clinton-Currie (March 23, 1989 â€" February 20, 2009) was the pet cat of U.S. President Bill Clinton's family during his presidency.  An adopted stray cat, he was the only pet of the Clintons during the early years of the administration, and his likeness hosted the children's version of the White House website.  After Clinton left office, Socks resided with former Clinton secretary Betty Currie and her husband, due to continuing conflicts with the dog Buddy.

malapropism has spawned its own "categories" of other language -isms, usually attributed to the persons who commit them.  the famous ones:

goldwynism - samuel goldwyn, movie producer

yogiism - yogi bera, american sports legend

bushism - george bush, father and son, former u.s. presidents   

A malapropism is the misuse of similar sounding words, especially with humorous results.


An instance of mis-speech is called a malapropism when:

    1) The word or phrase means something different from the word the speaker or writer intended to use.

    2) The word or phrase sounds similar to what was intended. For example, using obtuse (wide or dull) instead of acute (narrow or sharp) is not a malapropism; using obtuse (stupid or slow-witted) when one means abstruse (esoteric or difficult to understand) is.

    3) The resulting utterance is nonsense.

'Beware of self-indulgence. The romance surrounding the writing profession carries several myths: that one must suffer in order to be creative; that one must be cantankerous and objectionable in order to be bright; that ego is paramount over skill; that one can rise to a level from which one can tell the reader to go to hell.

'There are three reasons for becoming a writer. The first is that you need the money; the second, that you have something to say that you think the world should know; and the third is that you can't think what to do with the long winter evenings.' -Quentin Crisp
