Naa koy post nga na saag didto sa Tawi-tawi thread. Mao diay ni ang sakto nga thread:

Mao ni:

Usahay makahuna-huna ko nga kining kagubot sa Mindanao is a sabotage for personal gain of people who are now in power.

First, among the revisions of Charter Change or Cha-cha is to allow 100% land ownership by Foreigners. My fellow countrymen, we all know that Malaysian nationals are eyeing on Mindanao for the expansion of their Palm Oil Plantation, but these Malaysian companies were turned down by Mindanao Locals. So, if you are a powerful company who is desperate of achieving corporate objective, the best thing to do is look for loop-holes. These loop-holes are people in the government who can be bribed.

Hence, it is my theory that someone powerful & with evil intention have purposely double crossed to jeopardize the peace process in Mindanao. Their main purpose is to create havoc/chaos so that land owners would sell their lands at a very low cost to accomplice buyers (real estate compnies with proxy owners). At a bitter situation where one's stomach is a priority, no one would hesitate a simple lure/opportunity if someone wants to buy your land. With simple thinking any land owner would not hesitate to sell a property situated in a warzone!

Continuing to my theory:
Once the Charter Change will be ratified/pushed through (God Forbid) and enough lands are being bought, these people (proxy owners) will start selling their acquired lands to Malaysian Corporations, a Multi-Billion business. Someone in power would be featured in "Forbes Who's Who" in just an overnight deal.

The real danger is yet to be realized. Once the land rates are sky rocketing, we Filipinos  will wake up one day as squatters/landless in our own country as our next generation (children) could not afford anymore to buy their piece of Philippine soil.

How many of you folks are thinking what I was thinking?

Even I found skeptical issues raised by Malacañang Palace to divert the topic to weather or not "the president is extending her term".

But this is not the real issue of the Cha-cha folks. The real issue is where the big money is and that is the 100% land ownership of foreign nationals. That's why they need to sabotage the Peace Process in Mindanao.

I have a long-time dream that when I retire from my foreign job, I would invite my employer to do business in the Philippines with me as the sponsor and enjoy the 60/40 company ownership (60% filipino & 40% foreign ownership). However, this dream will not be realized with Cha-cha, because my employer would simply buy a land in the Philippines and I would still become his employee in my own country instead of his sponsor.

Please pass this idea to your friends if you love your country; if you still want your children to own a piece of Philippine land.

Nice work Raquel.

Happy Earth Day Everyone.

I love mother Earth 

She is the sole reason of my physical existence.

Her stunning beauty is my ultimate pleasure.

I like the Indians. They are mostly ethical in doing business.

Mostly, ang wife dedicated sa family. So, the wife should be the financial controller.

Bring back the death sentence. People are not afraid to commit unspeakable crimes anymore!

The murderers did not only slay our guest, but killed our reputation, image of the Boholano and the whole tourism industry (the livelihood of thousands) and our economy. Soon, our tourism facilities will turn into ghost towns. Children of families who depends on tourism will soon go hungry.

Daghang tao nga kung mag tago sa ilang pen-name murag unstopable na sila. Puede na nila buhaton bisan unsa.

Kalooy sa Dios wala pa gyud ko kasuway ug ing-ani. Hilas man bisan sa huna-huna pa lang nga magpa bata-bata bisan tigulang na. Unya magpa cute-cute pa, murag teen ager.

Ijara!

Happy Easter Manay Tess and to all the nice people here in Tubag Bohol.

Bilar - Is named after a town and municipality located in the province of Álava, in the Basque Country, northern Spain.

Para sa mga social nga mga Bilarnons, ang ilang itubag kung pangutan-on taga asa sila, taga "Bell-air". Pina slang pagka sulti.

Murag naa kay punto bai Amir.

Kana bitaw nga plano sa Goberno nga hatagan ug full autonomy ang South Mindanao murag drama ra to sa mga naay katungdanan karon. Unya sa hapit na pirmahan ang kasabutan last year, mi kalit ug usob ang istorya. Murag may mi double cross unya karon naa nay faction ang MNLF kay ang uban wala mo uyon. Ila pa nga gi apil ang mga lugar sa North Mindanao nga ang gusto man gani sa MNLF nga South lang.

Nakaapas dayon ko sa gustong mahitabo sa mga naa sa katungdanan. Advance kaayo akong huna-huna comparar sa ilang plano. Kahinumdom ka nga ang Malaysia gustong mopalit ug mga yuta sa Mindanao para himoon ug Palm Plantation? Apan kadaghanan sa mga taga mindanao wala mo uyon kay dili nila gustong ibaligya ug dayohan ilang yuta. Mao nga akong pangagpas nga gusto sa mga naa sa katungdanan karon nga magkagubot ang Mindanao, aron kung ma displace ang mga tao tungod sa kahadlok, naay mga Senators nga tag-iyahan ug real estate company nga mupalit sa ilang yuta sa barato kaayo nga presyo. Kinsa pa man ang mobalik adtong dapita kung gubot, mao ila na lang ibaligya bisan ug barato.

So kung mag peace na lugar, ang majority nga tag-iya sa mga yuta dihang dapita, ang mga Senator ug mga sapian na. Unya ang sunod ani nga mahitabo, ilang ipatuman ang Cha-cha. Kung ma approve na ang Cha-cha, puede na mo palit ug property ang mga Malaysians didto sa Mindanao at 100% ownership. Unya ang sunod nga mahitabo, ang yuta nga ilang gipalit ug barato, ila kini nga ibaligya sa mga Malaysians.

Di ba pagbudhi kini sa yutang natawhan?

Kini akong pangagpas lamang.

Pilipinas ra gyud ang nahuna-hunaan nato. What if kitang mga pinoy mo invade sa uban nga nasod in terms of business instead nga imong unayon imong isig ka pilipino. Mi ginansya ka pero nag libot libot lang ang kwarta sa Pilipinas ug walay mi sulod sa atong economiya. Kung mo invest ka sa gawas, ang imong ginansya direkta nga tubo sa aton economiya.

Mao nga pobre ang Pilipinas kay ang mga sapian nga pinoy adto ra pod mag negosyo sa Pilipinas.

How about kung mag tukod ta ug hotel or restaurant sa America or Canada? Ug ang imong kita imong ideposit sa PNB.

Or mag import ka ug raw material sa Pilipinas, imong ipahimo sa China ug imong ibaligya ang finished product adto sa Europe, ug ang imong kita adto i-deposit sa PNB. Kana sigurado mo tubo atong economiya.

Ang Pilipinas gi invade na ug foreign investors. Naka ginansya sila ug dako gikan sa atong resources. Apan tagsa lang kaayo ang Pinoy nga mi invade sa lain nga nasod.

Nag import ta ug expensive nga oil para asa? Para i-fuel sa mga negosyo sa Pinas nga mostly foreign owned. Di ba gansi ta kay kita ang nag import sa oil para gamiton sa mga negosyo sa foreigners ug ang ilang genansya adto nila ideposit sa swiss bank or HSBC. So instead nga mo sulod ang kwarta sa Pilipinas, mura ug gi hakot pagawas. Mo kita lang ta in terms of employment, pero peanuts lang ni compared sa ilang gains ug profits. Ang overheads or mga salaries, gi patong na ni sa ilang ginansya ug kung mo palit ta sa ilang product, kita ra gihapon ang ilang gikuhaan para sweldo sa ilang employees.

Taas na man ni folks and hope you don't get bored kay giganahan ko ug type:

Example:

McDonalds invested in the Philippines
- Targeted consumers = Filipinos
- Cost of product covers all expenses including salaries of Employees, fuel and services.

So kung mopalit ka ug burger sa McDonalds adto sa Pilipinas, ikaw ang mibayad sa ilang employee, services ug fuel.

Ang ilang ginansya gikan nimo ilang ideposit sa ilang banko sa USA.

Dili ba gansi ang Pilipinas kay migasto ta ug import sa mahal nga gasolina para gamiton sa McDonalds ug ang ilang ginansya mo gawas lang sa Pilipinas unya ang consumer pa ang mibayad sa sweldo sa ilang mga employees?

I doubt kung mi tuman ning McDonalds sa 60% Filipino - 40% foreign ownership law. Dapat unta ang SEC ang mag control aning mga foreign corporations. Dili lang mag hala-hala ug approve. Unsaon mo dawat man ug under the table ang atong mga agency sa govierno.

Sakto si Bambi nga kitang mga Pinoy or Bol-anon walay pagsinabtanay or walay unity. Lain lain ug diverse atong mga huna-huna. Dili pareha sa mga intsik ug hapon nga usa ra ang direction sa ilang huna-una mao nga magsinabtanay sila. Theory ug dream lang ni nga magkahiusa ang mga Bol-anon ug tagsa pa lang ang naka kab-ot niining mao nga damgo. Freedom loving ang atong nature mao nga tagsa lang ang mo sunod kung dunay leader kay mag lain ta ug atoa. Colorful ta nga culture ug thats the beauty of it. Mao ganahan ko dire kay daghan ug mga issue, debate, opinion, intriga ug uban pa.

Pobre ang Pilipinas dili sa Cultural Misunderstanding, but tungod sa "Personal Misunderstanding" amongst Pinoys. Ikaduha nahurot atong oras para sa entertainment, Bow.

This is the law of life. Bright coloration of an organism tells the other "do not eat me, I'm poisonous". Everyone has its right to exist and has a place here as this is a free forum, but everything in this world has certain rules and guidelines to follow.

I suggest that members who are sensitive to certain jokes and names must declare like "hey, I don't want to be called this name or that name, etc". Like in hospital, you have to tell the nurses your blood type and your allergies.

Rules of moderators are to moderate tensions and I believe Dabinsi is doing just fine. I have seen in many cases that conflicts & personal attacks were subdued by simple laughter from Dabinsi and other peace loving TB members. It does'nt mean a moderator is a fault finder. To delete unjust posts is only the last option, after knowing the character of the person, communications and thoroughly weighing the case. I believe ethics should be on the top slot of every moderator's priority. Second should be to protect the interest, objectives and integrity of this beautiful site.

Everyone, member or moderators can be biased to his/her own belief. The only difference is moderators were given special responsibilities and tasks.

This is only my observation.

Di ba ang Philippines is for the Filipino? Sa atong constitution, ang usa ka foreigner can own 40% of the property with 60% Filipino partnership/sponsorship. Businesswise, the foreign partner's financial aspects; i.e. net profit, taxes, royalties, etc. are audited annually so not to deviate from the 60-40 rule.

However, the institutions we entrusted to protect our rights are prone to bribery and corruption. I am not talking my own words, but it has been proven as we witness the recent scandal of SEC and other government agencies.

With this kind of set-up, we the Filipinos will end-up as the loser. Foreign investors could run away with 100% of the profit by simply setting aside a small portion to bribe government auditors or the agency head.

With 100% ownership, we are making this whole thing legal. Think that taxes and employment are just peanuts compared to bigtime gains/profits. Puede lang sila maka own ug 100% sa property/business kung magpa convert sila as Filipino Citizenship.

Moreover, it is illegal to drive away people from beaches because according to our law, private ownership of rivers, estuaries, shorelines and national parks is prohibited.

Tinood ka Amir nga kining atong yutang natawhan gi buhisan ug dugo/kinabuhi sa atong mga bayani. Ato kining ampingan ug dili panamastamasan. Ang pagbaligya sa atong yutang natawhan sama ra sa pagbudhi. Mawala man ang tanan natong katigayunan ug bahandi apan magpabilin ang atong Kagawasan.

I believe its got something to do with our Education system. We were tought by our teachers since grade school to study hard so when you graduate, you will earn your living as a worker. Our educational system pre-programed every students to become 'servants' and workers after graduation.

No school in this country is teaching students to study hard and build a company after graduation.

One time, I was outsourcing a product from Hong-kong for one of our marketing activity. When I called the company, the owner was travelling and his 16 year old daughter was left to attend international calls and querries. To my surprise, she is well rehearsed on their companies operation. I was dumbfounded on how well she know about trading at that tender age.

I am sad that even in our own country, you can find old/retireable people still working laborious tasks.

This is actually an eye opener to all Pinoys. You are right if you say Truth Hurts.

I remembered the story of the Koreans. When thier country was torn by decades of civil war and became the poorest country in Asia. As humanitarian assistance, Germany and Austria and other European countries offered jobs to thier working class to help rebuild thier country. Instead of becoming cheap labor forever, they acquired technology from their host country, went home and established thier own factories to export household products. They used the technology acquired from Mercedes Benz to build Hyundai, technology from Grundig TV to build Samsung and L.G. and other leading products you can see in the market today. This is called technology transfer. They have not wasted what they have learned and they used initiative instead of blaming their corrupt government then.

Tsip Tsao is talking "rubbish".

Finally, China understood the importance of preserving the environment by utilizing garbage or (utilising rubbish in British English).

This mentality must change. Our media is quite premitive still. Any Filipino reporter thinks the more gruesome is thier take, the more professional they are.

Such disturbing pictures must only be shown inside a court house. Besides the photos of the body is the greatest evidence that will be used during the court proceedings. Hence, this must be kept confidential as you are exposing vital marks & position in the victims body that may be used by the other party to twist the whole story.

Hahaha Manay, palahubog gyud ka!

Gi tudloan ko asa akong kauban nga taga Leyte unsaon pag himo ug bahalina. Ang secreto diay ana, imong punoon ang container nga walay gap nga hangin para walay bacteria mabuhi ug dili mo aslom. Unya imong sala-on kada buntag for 1 month. Basta puno pirme ang container. Imo ni siya itago sa ngitngit para dili mo lubad ang color.

Mao ni ang development nga akong nakita sa TV Manay:

An action has been taken officially by the Malacañang to condemn Chip Tsao's statement, spearheaded by senators and congressmen. Malacañang has ordered the Philippine consulate in Hongkong and Beijing to raise this issue to a deplomatic level and that the author be demanded to issue a public apology or sanctions will be imposed.

Also, the whereabouts of Chip's filipina maid had been traced and a team from the Philippine consulate will pull-out the maid's employement with Chip and transfer her to a decent employer.

Many Philippine groups rallied in the streets of Hong kong demanding apology from the author.

Some of the senators who were outraged expressed condemnation and planed to file an international court case against the author Chip Tsao &  the publishing company.

Roilo Golez campaigned for a boycott to all flights and services to Hong Kong for a period of 6 months to a year.

The publishing company already has withdrawn/removed the published article from their website, but Malacañang said it is not enough.

Soon Cheap Chow or Chip Tsao will become the Art Bell of China.

Remember folks about Art Bell's story back in 2004 when filipinos got outraged over his discriminating statement on a radio show saying "Filipinos make me puke"? Art Bell repented, issued an apology to Philippine daily inquirer and then got married to a filipina.

This guy Chip Tsao will issue an apology and will marry his maid.

Glacier maayo baya nang idea nga Tuba ang official drink sa Sandugo Festival.

Di ba ang nahisulat sa blood compact history nga ang blood gi sagulan ug wine unya ilang gi inom.

Sa una wala may lain nga source ug ilimnon nga makahubog kon di ang Tuba lang.

Kinsa mang ang kamao mo himo ug wine, champagne, beer or whiskey adtong panahona?

So be it as suggested by Glacier. TUBA is the official drink of Sandugo Festival. Also, the color red of tuba symbolizes blood.

I am a great fan of Michael Jordan. Akong permi gi sundog iyang mga moves. Bisan 2 inches lang ang niloksohan, i-magic gihapon ang bola. Dili na lang i-deretso ug shot.

a DOPED!!!

You mean Rush Limbaugh? Argh, really I can not say anything. This guy is against anything good to the humanity. He is against environment, he twists anything that is proven to science.

But since I knew that he says what he is paid for, I kind of enjoy his show, not seriously but as comedy. I laugh at his lines.

Raq, the real issue here is not the Phil-Chinese or Chinoys.

Chinese blood is just a component of the whole Filipino race. Each one of us has certain percentage of Chinese blood and I have high percentage of it being my great grandfather was a merchant from Macau.

We have no issues regarding the Chinese-Filipino Community or Chinoys.

Hence, let us focus our discussion to Chip Tsao and the Chinese red government who wants to own the whole of Spratlys islands.

HK Magazine is not the issue here but the columnist Chip Tsao.

Of course HK Magazine would apologize in fear of loosing business.

This is not the first time that Tsao is involved in huge controversy.

In 2005, Tsao generated outrage from Western expatriates in Hong Kong as a result of his column. Quote: "Have Hong Kong girls stopped looking for "Mr White" (that described western men) who stayed in Hong Kong after the 1997 handover from the United Kingdom to China lived in dorms on Lamma Island or stone houses in Sai Kung that people used to "keep pigs in".

Being racist is already in his blood. He is a hard core.

There are lots of Filipinas living in Germany for over 20 years and they keep their national status.
Sending you our sincerest sympathy on behalf of the Bol-anon organizations of Germany.

Tessie Bertumen Wilms

Yes Manay Tessie, we share the same doubt. Looking at the whole scenario, perhaps I am not the only one skeptical here.

I have no issues regarding the Chinese-Filipino Community or Chinoys.

As I said in other threads, I have high respects to them and they are more than heroes to me. They have no allegiance to the Chinese flag nor have any connection to the Red Government. They are simply Filipinos whos ancestors are freedom loving Chinese who fled from the chains of communism. The survivor factor & the hard-working legacy of thier parents are contributors of thier present success. They are the main players to our present economy.

Hence, lets focus our discussion to Chip Tsao and the Chinese government who wants to own the whole of Spratlys islands.

Thanks Sir Felix sa imong post. Very pinoy ang imong topic.

Mi gaan akong pamati pagkabasa nako ani. Akong imagination murag naa lang ko sa Bohol nag tindog. Nawala ang akong homesick.

This is unfair treatment to us Filipinos. I find it very childish. The fact that no Chinese has opposed on this irresponsible act during day one only means that they are in agreement of this moronic act.

Little did Chip Tsao, the author know that we Filipinos are treating Chinese nationals fairly and with high respects? In fact we acknowledge one Chinese as Hero during the Fil-Am war. His name is General Jose Ignacio Paua, the only pure Chinese in the Philippine army.

Here’s a brief story of General Paua:
He was born on April 29, 1872 in a poor village of Lao-na in Fujian province, China. In 1890, he accompanied his uncle to seek his fortune in the Philippines. He worked as a blacksmith on Jaboneros Street, Binondo, Manila.   

Paua joined the Katipunan in 1896. His knowledge as blacksmith served him in good stead.  He repaired native cannons called lantakas and many other kinds of weaponry. He set up an ammunition factory in Imus, Cavite where cartridges were filled up with home-made gunpowder. [On the side, he courted Antonia Jamir, Emilio Aguinaldo's cousin].

On June 12, 1898, when Aguinaldo proclaimed Philippine independence in Kawit, Cavite, Paua cut off his queue (braid). When General Pantaleon Garcia and his other comrades teased him about it, Paua said: "Now that you are free from your foreign master, I am also freed from my queue." [The queue, for the Chinese, is a sign of humiliation and subjugation because it was imposed on them by the Manchu rulers of the Qing dynasty. The Chinese revolutionaries in China cut off their queues only in 1911 when they finally toppled the Manchu government.]

On Oct. 29, 1898, Paua was included in the force led by General Vito Belarmino that was sent to the Bicol region; Belarmino assumed the position of military commander of the provinces of Albay, Camarines and Sorsogon.

On Jan. 20, 1900, the Americans invaded the Bicol region; Brig. Gen. William A. Kobbe's expeditionary force, comprising the 43rd and 47th Infantry Regiments U.S. Volunteers, and Battery G , 3rd Artillery, took the port of Sorsogon without resistance.

On Jan. 23, 1900 at Legaspi, Albay, General Paua and General Belarmino put up a strong resistance against the 47th US Infantry but in the end had to retreat; 7 Americans were wounded, and 50 Filipinos killed and wounded.

Paua married Carolina Imperial, a native of Albay; he retired in Albay and was once elected town mayor of Manito. He told his wife and children: “I want to live long enough to see the independence of our beloved country and to behold the Filipino flag fly proudly and alone in our skies.” His dream was not realized because he died of cancer in Manila on May 24, 1926 at the age of 54.   (RIGHT, Monument to General Paua in Silang, Cavite Province).

The late historian, Teodoro Agoncillo, described Paua as "More Filipino than many Filipinos." 

His monument is found in every municipality of Albay.


What I am stressing is that Filipinos and Chinese are historical allies and allies means we are of mutual and of equal stand. There is no slave and no master.

Ignorance of this one person could ruin our good ties with China.

We do not have investigation protocol. His property should be wrapped with "police line do not cross" while the case is under investigation. No one should be allowed to touch anything inside Martin's house, even his wife.

Since there is no state prosecutor system in the Philippines, someone should stand on behalf of Marten as his next of kin and file a court case so that suspects/masterminds could be arrested, detained and investigated.

If nobody is bold enough to stand for Martin, then criminals will walk freely.

Here is another interesting blog from Congresman Biazon about this Chip Tsao:

Once again, moderators, please split this topic to another thread from page 12 starting at Manay Hofelina's.

Lorenzo,

Please split this issue to another thread. There's lots of things to discuss here. We Pinoys are humiliated.

I run a search about Chip Tsao and found that he really has a history of racism back in 2005 and I don't believe he is a sane person. He must be detained inside a mental facility.

See this link back in 2005 http://www.asiamedia.ucla.edu/article-eastasia.asp?parentid=31608

I will boycott all Chinese products!

If I find any Chinese on my way, I will break his bones to pieces!

I will cancel my Cathay Pacific ticket this year!

Grrrr! I am very mad!

I will break this "made in China" Monitor and key board after this!

Naa may beer didto sa Langit. Ang tanan nga pleasures nga gibawal dire sa yuta naa didto sa langit.

Mao bitaw nga ang mga panghitabo dire sa yuta temporary ug pagsuway lamang. Didto sa Langit, unlimited ang pleasures nga imong makuha nga wala nimo pa experience dire sa yuta.

you want to know why they can do drugs becauswe the youngsters doing it will not be jailed or punished they are F******g minors and can get away with anything here. HELLO!

Thanks to China. They influenced the addictive game of Mahjong to our lolos and lolas.

Now, they are targeting our youth, hooking them to Shabu.

Without the death sentence, these criminals will fearlessly sell their merchandise.

Our youth, the future generation are the ultimate victims.

Our tourism industry has flourished over a short period. Undeniably, we the host are in a shortfall in terms of facilities, services, security, etc. to meet the influx.

However, we should keep the original plan of having a family oriented type of tourism packages such as eco-tourism and adventure tourism; i.e. regulate nightlife & drinking bars. This will avoid chaotic scenarios, common to a nightlife form of tourism.

One highlight of this package is our Catholic heritage such as Old Churches. Hence, let us also keep our Christian values and culture as part of the tourist attraction.

In short, we are celebrating too early while there are tons of works to do.

Nangalimyon ang kahumot apan tunokon ug batoon ang kasing-kasing.

Gi mingaw bitaw ko ug nangka. Wala gyun na diri. Naay gi sulod ug lata imported gikan sa Thailand.

Pareho ra ba ang

1. TBTK
2. TBTK Inc.
3. ug ang TBTK Europe?

Wala na ko kasabot ani. Lain-lain ba ni nga organization or usa lang? Kinsa man karon ang CEO sa TBTK?

A, maayo pay kitang mga taga TB maghimo ug atong kaugalingon ug walay kwartahay kay samok ang kalibutan ug involve na ang kwarta.

As suggested ni Glacier, maghimo ta ug Bayle Tibook Kalibotan or Balak Kontest ba hinoon with highlight of Mr. & Ms. TB.

Usbon ko, walay kwartahay, Tuba-ay para kung mahubog mag bayle dayon.

So ang atong version TBBTK or Tubag Bohol Bayle Tibuok Kalibotan 

Basin mura na noon ug Nangkang hinog Angie, hehehe.

This is just going by what I've been told by people who live in the area:
A foreigner was shot, execution style in the head and found in the vicinity of the seawater swimming pool in Mansasa yesterday.  His motorbike was still there, parked nearby.

Ben, is this the case of Marten's? I am puzzled because the report of Pressy is stabbing 14 times and the rummors you got is shot execution style.

Would somebody clarify the matter?

Moreover, I suggest nga the additional year would be spent on employment training or entrepreneurship or a sort of economic survival training / financial literacy.

So what the students have learnt in theory could be applied in practical use and on actual life situation.

Actually, the 5th year in college as in Engineering is nothing more than Trips and Seminars and rehersal of the Graduation Song. There is nothing special or intensive about it.

In some courses, the last year is aprenticeship or internship and field trips which will only resort to inum & beach party afterwards.

Mas maayo pa ang dili ikabilin ug balay kay sa dili ikasuroy. Hehehe

Siguro mogamit sila ug mental telepathy or body language para magsinabtanay ang tamsi ug duck. Maka imagine ko adtong Tom and Gerry nga mi sumbong ang bata nga duck sa iyang mama, hahaha.

In States or in any advanced countries, the spouse will be the main suspect of any death. In the states, there are government prosecutors as well as private investigators to hound the case.

In the Philippines, the suspect will be set free if no case is filled against him in 24 hours.

This type of system in the Philippines must be changed.

Yes, filipinos have more freedom than the states and we don't have a death sentence. That same freedom would be subject to abuse that kept us locked inside our house for fear of our lives, ironically.

This must be changed.

My condolences to Marten's family.

I love people who has originality.

I mean this guy is very innovative. You must see him doing music of Prince and 4 non-blonds. His voice has range and he knows how to control it.

This perfomance is just one of his conservative.

I saw this on TV last January, but only now I saw this posted at Youtube.

I love how this goth guy converts ordinary music into a piece of art.

He can do anything from rock to broadway style. Last time he turns country music into punk style.

Adam Lambert has a future.

Nakahinumdom ko ug puzzle nga ma buak na lang akong ulo dili pa ma solve. Palihug tabang:

Aduna koy tulo ka basket nga may sulod nga prutas.
basket 1 = Apple,
basket 2 = Orange
basket 3 = Banana
100 ka prutas tanan ang sulod kung iponon ang tulo ka basket

Mao ni ang nahitabo:
1. Akong gikaon ang usa ka Apple ug ang sulod nahimong katunga sa Banana.
2. Akong gikaon and duha ka Banana ug ang sulod nahimong doble sa Orange.

Ang Pangutana:
Pila man ka bo-ok ang apple, banana ug orange sa wala pa ko mo kaon?

I emailed freind of Marten in England he is very upet in his email as he had just went back home from Tagbilaran.

I did not go into detail but i did let him know that I and my publisher had gone there togive our respects at the morgue.

I told him that I am prresently trying to do what marten would want me to do in this sittuation.

That would be tostart up a foreigner association group to help foreigners who are victims of crime.

I also told him we will do our best in the media as far as the Bohol Standard and the Bohol chroncle are in partnership to cover this story.

In janurary I had taken this write up on the first attempted homicide to the Sunday Post but Boy Guing the publisher did not expose the story.

I am sure they will jump on it now that he has been murdered.

This late afternoon I would like all foreigners living here to meet at brewspoint to discuss our safety here while in Bohol.
We should make a statement so that Governer can get it by Governers report and make some actions on how he plans to better everyones safety.

I will be inviting guest speakers to talk with the group today here in Tagbilaran.

This is an invitation letter to all foreigners visiting and living here in bohol as either short term or as a permanent resident. Please contact my in box if you are attending the emergency meeting today o get the ball rolling for a safer Bohol

Thanks Pressy for this initiative.

This is very shameful to all of us Boholanos. They are our guests and we supposed to treat them fairly and look after thier safety, but what happened now? Where is our hospitality?

Our image is ruined and I find it hard to face and tell this story to any of my foreigner friends.

Last month, I told in separate thread that I invited one our British consultant who's daughter (now in New Zealand) once worked for Bohol Government to take inventory of Raja Sikatuna wild life. We had a plan to go to Bohol this TBTK. Sadly, he declined and I also told him that it is very risky and I can not guarantee his safety.

Hopefully, the Bohol leaders would pass a bill to intensify police force in tourism zones, not in terms of quantity but of quality.

Ingon ra ba to si Kris Aquino nga wa kuno siya'y nakit-an nga basura, bisag candy wrapper, nga ipanglabay sa Bohol. Basig sa sud lang sa Eskaya. Kung padayun muuswag ang tourism industry nato sa Bohol kinahanglan ampingan gyud ang blue and green nature sa Bohol.

Natingala baya ko nga wala'y basurahan ng mga vendors duol diha sa tarsier cage sa daplin sa Loboc.

Benny,
Gi feature didto sa documentary nga bawal ang mag buhi ug baboy sa kilid sa suba. Kada buntag, naay garbage brigade nga mamunit ug plastics & other garbage nga nag float sa river. Mura sila ug nag limpyo ug swiming pool. Ang mga tao pod nga naa sa daplin sa suba, manilhig sila sa ilang natad ug sila mismo ang mo punit kung dunay basura nga nag lutaw sa tubig.

Dako diay kaayo ni ug income/proceeds sa whole operation kay mo abot na ug 30 million per year to the treasury of Loboc. Ug kini bahin-bahinon kuno sa mga baranggays along the river bank.

Kung mao, kinsa may dili maning kamot ug hinlo kung mao ni ang source sa ilang income.

I like the remake.

Naay akong daghan nga sa una labyan lang. Karon, gwapa na kaayo.

I believe every human person is born beautiful. But this world is a competition; hence, to be more beautiful than your neighbor is a constant quest and keeping up is a daily challenge.

Tinood nang imong na obserbahan Raq. Maayo baya nga atong hatagan ug honor/importansya ang atong national beast of burden nga ang Kabaw. Kung wala ang kabaw, wala pod ta niining kalibutana. Sa unang panahon mao ra ni ang gisaligan sa atong ka lolohan sa ilang pagkaon.

Karong halos puro na de-makina ang i-daro sa mga basak.

Bisan ang usa ka pamilya mag buhi lang ug usa ka kabaw bisan dili gamiton ug daro. Maayo unta ni nga himoon nga bill or presidential decree pareha sa tree planting sa una.

Kana napong lain bai. Para ma bibo. Hehe.

Dili na nako ansiran dayon.

Nakalimot na raba ko ug algebra (20 years ago pa to):

X = kadaghanon sa tamsi

X + X + X/2 + X/4 + 1 = 100

2X + X/2 + X/4 + 1 = 100

Greatest common denominator is = 4 (sakto ba ni nga term?)
(8X + 2X + X) + 1 = 100
-----------------
       4

11X/4 = 100 - 1

X = (100 - 1) times 4/11

Gamitan ug calculator

X = 36

Mas lisod man noon kung gamitan ug equation.

Question:  Pila diay to ka mga Langgam Tamsi tanan silang galupad?

Puede man ni himoon sa excel by trial an error:

1. Kadaghanon sa Tamsi = 36
2. Dugangan pareho kadaghanon + 36
3. Dugangan Katunga sa kadaghanon + 18
4. Dugangan katunga sa katunga sa kadaghanon + 9
5. Ipuno ang Itik +1
Ang resulta = 100

No offense to Langam Tamsi "Titams" of Australia and anybody who walks like a duck. Hahaha.

Education became commercialized and it became a gateway to employment rather than to learning. Students are programmed/brainwashed to become employees or slaves, rather than employers or Innovators.

In old days, people go to school because they want to learn and not because they want to work after graduation. Thier purpose is to master and improve that field so that they could contribute something to humanity. Back then, people study engineering, arts, medicine or history so that they could preserve the basic principles, make some innovations and teach it to the next generation.

You may notice that very few people study music and history because commercial demand for these fields are very limited.

Jose Rizal did not study optometry because he wants to work in an optical shop. He did not study history or different languages because he wants to work in a translation company. He study because of his passion and he want to improve things.

I am talking here about Philippine scenario.

Sorry if my grammar is bad. It only reflects the quality of educational system we have in our country.

Murder plus mutilation/mockery is not simply killing, but an emotional aspect is involved. Moreover, robbery is not the motive/link to the killing.

Hence, one should conclude that deep seated anger and human emotion is the motive of this all.

Clearly, this is not a work of a hired killer, but I strongly believed the assasin/antagonist is the aggreived person.

Hence, investigation should revolve closely around the victim's contacts.

Hope this helps solve the crime and speed up justice.

Thanks Pressy for your inspiring comment. You are indeed right. The problem with our society now is we became self-centered enough that we are inconsiderate of the general welfare of our society.

People commit corruption or crime to make himself rich (self interest).
At the same time, people don't testify because they fear of their own lives (again self interest).

Nobody supports each other anymore, nobody is willing to sacrifice, this is an image of a crumbling society.

This is not what Christ has taught us to sacrifice for others and we declare ourselves as christians.

Yes, I remembered that China - Taiwan incident.

It was actually imbarrassing on the part of China being a huge country against a very tiny Taiwan. I praise Taiwans leader not only of bravery, but for being stubborn against China's bluf. Taiwan is firm on its belief that international community would not just stand silent specially the US.

At the end, China could only bluf by rounding up military troops facing Taiwan.

China protested the signing of the baselines bill, describing it as “illegal.” But the Philippine government maintained that it was standing by its claim to the Spratly Islands and Scarborough Shoal -- an area potentially rich in oil.

The baselines law excludes the disputed Kalayaan Group of Islands and Scarborough Shoal in defining the country’s baseline points as an archipelago, treating them instead as part of a “regime of islands.”

Still, China was adamant that the Philippines was claiming its territories in the Spratlys, particularly Huangyan Island and Nansha Islands.

Gonzales said the Chinese protest could be considered as a form of diplomatic “posturing.”

Press Secretary Cerge Remonde described on Sunday Beijing’s move as a “normal conduct in international diplomacy.”

I don't understand why China called it "Illegal" to sign the baseline bill. Is China above the international law? Why are they so confident with thier statement; what are their basis?

If we allow an inch, one day China will claim the whole Philippines based on historical facts.

MANILA, Philippines -- China’s dispatch of a state-of-the-art patrol ship in the South China Sea does not necessarily smack of gunboat diplomacy, according to Malacañang, but the Palace has admitted it was taking this action seriously.

National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales said on Sunday he decided to call for an immediate meeting of the Cabinet’s security group to discuss the Chinese action in the wake of Beijing’s protest over the signing of the Philippine Archipelagic Baselines Law.

“The deployment of the patrol ship was a message and we cannot just ignore it,” Gonzales told the Philippine Daily Inquirer in a phone interview. “We have to take it seriously.”

China’s state media reported on Sunday that the People’s Republic of China dispatched its “most modern patrol ship” in the South China Sea following an incident with a US naval vessel and the signing of the Philippine baselines law.

“This should remind us that even in this era of dialogue and understanding in the world, there will always be nations that will show might and threaten perceived weak nations like us,” Gonzales said.

Gonzales said the meeting of the national security cluster would tackle the Philippine government’s response to the ship deployment in the context of the 2002 Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea.

“That’s where we should be going,” he said. “The only thing we can do is to resort to diplomacy.”

In the declaration, China and Southeast Asian nations agreed to “exercise self-restraint in the conduct of activities that would complicate or escalate disputes and affect peace and stability including, among others, refraining from action of inhabiting the presently uninhabited islands, reefs, shoals, cays, and other features and to handle their differences in a constructive manner.”

China protested the signing of the baselines bill, describing it as “illegal.” But the Philippine government maintained that it was standing by its claim to the Spratly Islands and Scarborough Shoal -- an area potentially rich in oil.

The baselines law excludes the disputed Kalayaan Group of Islands and Scarborough Shoal in defining the country’s baseline points as an archipelago, treating them instead as part of a “regime of islands.”

Still, China was adamant that the Philippines was claiming its territories in the Spratlys, particularly Huangyan Island and Nansha Islands.

Gonzales said the Chinese protest could be considered as a form of diplomatic “posturing.”

Press Secretary Cerge Remonde described on Sunday Beijing’s move as a “normal conduct in international diplomacy.”

“We should not be worried about it,” he said in his Sunday media forum on state-owned Radyo ng Bayan. “The United Nations will be the final arbiter of the issue.”

Remonde maintained that the baselines law was consistent with requirements of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

“What our President and our government [officials] did was in accordance to their sworn constitutional duty which is to uphold and protect the sovereignty of our country,” he said.

He said the Philippine government would also have lodged a similar diplomatic protest if China or other claimants of the disputed island came up with an official action similar to the baselines law.

No official reaction has been issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs, but a DFA official who did not wish to be named said that the Chinese move seemed to comply with the 2002 declaration, particularly its provision on notification coursed through official media.

The Beijing News said the Chinese vessel would conduct patrols of what it called China’s exclusive maritime zone in the disputed waters surrounding the Paracel and Spratly Islands, according to Agence France Presse.

The report said that the converted naval rescue ship would aid Chinese fishing boats and transport vessels.

Tensions in the area rose when the United States sent destroyers to international waters off southern China to protect a naval surveillance patrol that was involved in a stand off with Chinese vessels.

China said the US patrol vessels were within its 200-kilometer economic exclusive zone, but the United States insisted they were in international waters.

The Spratly and Paracel island chains have been flash points for years.

The Spratlys are claimed in full or part by China and Vietnam as well as the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan, and the Paracels are claimed by China, which now occupies them, as well as by Vietnam and Taiwan.

By the way, Deuterium is the main component/substance for the controversial "Cold Fusion" theory claimed by two scientists Pons and Flieschmann. However, they become silent which led to rummors of pay-off from major oil corporations.

(from Wikepedia)
Cold fusion (sometimes referred to as low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) studies or condensed matter nuclear science[1]) refers to nuclear fusion which occurs without the extremely high temperatures (millions of degrees Celsius) required for thermonuclear fusion â€" for example, muon-catalysed fusion.

Cold fusion made worldwide news headlines in March 1989, when Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons held a news conference in which they reported producing nuclear fusion in a tabletop experiment involving electrolysis of heavy water on a palladium (Pd) electrode.[2] They reported anomalous heat production ("excess heat") of a magnitude they asserted would defy explanation except in terms of nuclear processes.[3] They further reported measuring small amounts of nuclear reaction byproducts, including neutrons and tritium.[4] These reports raised hopes of a cheap and abundant source of energy.[5]

Indeed, Mr. Ferniz.

It is of strategic interest for the Republic due to its possible role in contributing to the Philippines--our own indigenous sustainable resource. And we have a reason for it. With the Republic's population soaring--and expected to hit over 100 Million in less than a decade, the Republic is hungry for energy.

The Scarborough Shoals and the Spratlys is the answer to our needs. The Philippines, literally, is sitting on top of a gold mine.

Another gold mine is the Marianas Trench that lies within Philippine Territorial Claims. The Marianas Trench is estimated to hold untold amount of billions of gallons of oil.
The oil is there; the Philippines merely needs to develop the method to extract it.

The Republic is rich in natural resources. All we have to do now, is to protect and ascertain our resources. And defend it from hungry mouths of our neighbours. Especially one that lies to our west. China is the largest threat to Philippine territorial sovereignty.

Lorenzo,

The gold mine you said in the Marianas Trench is not oil, but huge deposit of Deuterium or "Heavy Water" the fuel of the future.

(from Wikipedia)
Heavy water is water that contains a higher proportion than normal of the isotope deuterium, as deuterium oxide, D2O or ²H2O, or as deuterium protium oxide, HDO or ¹H²HO.[1] Its physical and chemical properties are somewhat similar to those of water, H2O.

Ang Chocolate hills is Tableya

Ang "Sagbayan Peak" is Sergs or localized Hersheys.

Everything in Sagbayan Peak is Pirated Stuff:
- The whole concept is duplicate to the original chocolate hills
- It is full of bogus Walt Disney structure
- The Pine Trees made it look like a Western landscape
- It is wrongly named a peak. Tourists seeking for extreme adventure will be frustrated for bringing thier mountain climbing gears

One of the reasons why we should have the Spratlys is because it is mostly un-inhabited. We can install a Nuclear Power Plant over there and transport electricity via cable to mainland. With this, it can solve our high cost of energy. We can run factories the clean, emission free way and has less threat to the population.

Guam can not be called a country because of its size and it was also considered as part of Hawaii Mainland. It was utilised as a refueling station until the majority of its residents were those who were from American Mainland. Guam like the Philippines and Puertorico were bought by the Americans from the Spanish through Treaty of Paris.

In the case of Puerto Rico, it was only the people who were given US Citizenship Puerto Rico remained as a country. They have every right as Americans like to vote, but not inside Puertorican territory. They were given the previledge of US citizenship as reward because the US used them during world war 1. Only citizenship, but the country is theirs. See the generousity of the Americans.

The Philippines is americas strategic pet, not an ally.

If they treated us like friends, they should have considered the Philippines, not as a protectorate during the American occupation, but a territory, where our people should have enjoyed rights and privileges similar to the citizens of america.

Let me answer your question as to why we were not considered as US territory after two wars. When during that time, the Philippines was left defenseless.

It was simply because of the following reasons:
1. The US had greater problem of rebuilding thier nation after the war which they kept as priority.

2. After two successive wars, America gained a clean image as liberators, educators and freedom fighters. They sort of maintained that reputation. If they had acquired the Philippines as one of thier state or territories, it would spoil thier image and they would have labeled as emperialist. So, if you thought the America is an emperialist nation, then why had they not captured Japan when it surrendered and defenseless?

3. During the war, many lives were lost. A word is worth a thousand lives and materialism is only limited to utility, money have no value and heroism is flaming inside every american heart. Should Mc Arthur had forgotten his words, we would not be liberated from Japanese tyranny.

It was a totaly different situation then and now that both can not be equated.

I believe that it was the immature/unqualified Philippine leadership after the liberation that led us to this present misery.

America has changed over the years. Many of its known enemies are now integrated in its society and enjoying its freedom. They may now be a different race, but I believe that America still follows the ideals of G.I. Joe.

In these modern times, the so called levitation and other deemed mystical powers are now duplicated through magic tricks.

Hahaha, you are smart Ayessa. You caught me.

Lets proceed with a more productive subject.

I will continue:
Shaking with left hand is offensive in the Middle East because left hand is used for dirty things. While we Filipinos were told in Boy Scouting to shake through our left hand because it is nearest to the heart.

Thanks Ayessa. But lets continue with the mental exercise on the other topic. I am enjoying it.

Language is only an instrument of expression.

Like shoes, you can not run fast because you wear a Nike, but you will look attractive running with a Nike.

OK, ok I understand and I am sorry.

However, this is a surprise to me. I don't understand why for two years we openly discussed similar topics like Fetcha Dos crussade, bilbil, and related things. People look at it the positive way, but not this time. Actually, denying your flaws is very dangerous. Why not accept it and do something to improve, rather than barking at the observer who is only telling the truth.

People, lets go back to the main topic of this thread.

However, I can not stand that you are calling one of my friend or somebody with the 'S' word just because of my actions. This also offends me and now we are equal.

Lets continue with the main topic OK. I will take all the blames.

I know this fact that 300 kms from shoreline is the extent of an island nation's territory. However, China having the most area of the Spratlys is not contented and still wants the whole spratlys. Chinese vessels openly camped inside the 300 km. perimeter of Philippine territory.

There is coincidence Ayessa
