Bohol Latest News / Re: Miscommunication?
April 20, 2011, 08:17:25 AM

meanwhile, it's like looking at a glass of water as either half-full or half-empty.  initial media reports may have presented the tiff as half-full.  considering that often as not some media practitioners may opt for the sensational report that could stir the public, the half-full angle is too good to let pass.  

the official yarn is it's half-empty.  again, it's understandable as any official is compelled to go the way of damage control considering that the provincial government must not be perceived as a disunited circus of legislators ignorant of anger management.  

what difference does it make to the public whether such rift happened or not?  it has a choice of what report to believe in anyway and it won't make bohol any less.

the receiver of the alleged flying glass of water herself had said that no such flying glass was conjured.  come to think of it, she must be lawyer enough to know that if such physical 'abuse' did happen, she can always go to court.  if she's not complaining, why should we?

The claims of China and Vietnam are based on the two countries’ old maps, which, in the case of China, showed the archipelago’s inclusion sporadically at best in different eras in its history. 

The claims of Brunei and the Philippines are based on the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), which stipulates that a country’s jurisdiction extends up to 200 nautical miles.  It is to be noted that the Philippines claims only 60 of the islets, which are within it’s EEZ, and not the whole archipelago.

[In 2009], the Philippine Senate passed a bill marking out its maritime boundaries in the country’s claim to part of the islands, taking care to acknowledge rival claims.

It was this legislative move that brought about the column of Hongkong-based Chip Tsao who belittled the Filipinos as “a nation of servants” and implied that our country punches too high beyond its reach for claiming the islands like China. 
#40203

For that matter, while the whole archipelago is better known internationally as Spratly Islands, after the English mariner Richard Spratly, the Philippines calls seven of its claimed portion as Kalaayaan Islands.  All these different claims seem to give the islands an identity crisis on top of their being the subject of territorial disputes.

Only 20 of the islets are deemed capable of sustaining human life.  The total land area of the whole archipelago, or group of islands, is less than five square kilometers.  It is composed of a little less than 150 islets scattered over an area of around 400 thousand square kilometers of the South China Sea.  So what is in this apparently economically valueless archipelago that’s muddying international relations of neighbor-countries? 

Location is one.  Where these seemingly insignificant islets are located bears heavily on the definition of international boundaries and sea lanes. 

Another is the rich fishing grounds that the archipelago offers. 

More important, if not more delicate, is that initial studies show that the islands may have potentially significant oil and gas.

A Little Background, Just So

A string of remote small islands (actually atolls and reefs uninviting to human habitation) some of which are claimed by the Philippines is also claimed in whole or in part by China, Malaysia, Taiwan, Vietnam and Brunei.    

An idea of how delicate these individual claims are can be gleaned from the current situation in these islands.  Brunei has a fishing zone that overlaps a southern reef, Vietnam is occupying 25 islands, China’s presence is in nine, the Philippines is in eight, while Malaysia is occupying three.  To expect any of these countries to give up its claim anytime soon is to expect the moon to fall to earth.  National pride will always have its place in the scheme of international relations.  

These claims of ownership by different countries complicate even the names of the islets.  An example is the biggest island called Ligaw by the Philippines.  For Taiwan, the same islet is called Taiping Dao.  It is Dao Ba Binh to Vietnam.  Or consider Mischief Reef, which is Meiji Jiao for China, Da Vanh Khan for Vietnam, and Panganiban to the Philippines.

The Philippine protest that China replied to similarly in a note verbale before the UN Commission on the Law of the Sea came at a stressful time in their bilateral relations after China executed three Filipino drug convicts on March 30, despite a request for leniency from Aquino. It also came after the Philippines filed a diplomatic protest on March 3 over Chinese incursion into Reed Bank, 250 kilometers west of Palawan, where an oil exploration is ongoing. Reed Bank is part of the KIG and is also being claimed by China and Vietnam.

A senior official at the Department of Foreign Affairs said the protest must be "delinked" from the March 30 executions. While the Philippine protest was expected, it was to China’s wonder why it took time.

"It took time for us because the relations that we have nurtured over the decade are important to us. Our excellent relations are paramount. We don’t want to mar it," the official said. "But since it infringes on our sovereignty, we have to do something. Otherwise we cannot face the Filipino people and let that opportunity pass without registering our protest," he said.

China said the "so-called Kalayaan Island Group claimed by the Philippines is part of China’s Nansha Islands" which, it said, has been clearly defined. It said it has given publicity since the 1930s to this claim over Nansha’s geographical scope and the names of its components.

China’s language in its recent diplomatic protest is unlike its usual phraseology of reiterating "Nansha Islands have been part of the territory of China since ancient time and that it has indisputable sovereignty over it and its surrounding maritime areas."

It has now used stronger language and mentioned the strong objection it has made each time as basis for its consistent position that any claim by any other nation to territorial sovereignty over the Spratlys chain in the South China Sea is null and void.

Refuting the Philippines’ assertion of sovereignty and jurisdiction over the waters around or adjacent to each relevant geological feature in the Kalayaan Island Group (KIG) by virtue of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea’s (UNCLOS) principle of "la terre domine la mer" or "the land dominates the sea," China said the Philippines can in no way invoke such "illegal" occupation to support its territorial claims under the legal doctrine, "ex injuria jus non oritur," or "a right cannot rise from a wrong."

China accuses PH of ‘invasion’

Tells UN diplomatic protest on Spratlys map is ‘unacceptable’

By Tessa Jamandre
Vera Files

China has accused the Philippines of "invading" the South China Sea which it claims as wholly its own, the first time it has ever done so.

"Since 1970s, the Republic of the Philippines started to invade and occupy some islands and reefs of China’s Nansha Islands and made relevant territorial claims, to which China objects strongly," China said in a note verbale submitted April 14 to the United Nations in reply to the protest lodged by the Philippines on April 5.

"The Republic of the Philippines’ occupation of some islands and reefs of China’s Nansha islands as well as other related acts constitutes infringement upon China’s territorial sovereignty," according to the note verbale.

Early this month, the Philippines filed a diplomatic protest against China’s 9-dash line territorial claim over the whole of South China Sea, including the Spratlys group, a cluster of oil-rich islands disputed by the Philippines, China and three other countries.

The protest was lodged nearly two years after China filed its 9-dash line map to the UN Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS). Other claimants, Vietnam and Malaysia, filed their protests the day after China filed its claim in May 2009. Indonesia, which is not among the claimants, filed its protest over China’s map last year.

Of all four diplomatic protests lodged against China’s 9-dash line map, it was only the Philippine protest that China singled out through its note verbale to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon.

no, i don't subscribe to this.  there's too much generalizing and stereotyping.  besides, not everything that's written here is true.

a case in point-- "In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture.  So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the 'hajib' or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband.  Yep, the Muslims are all for women's rights, aren't they?"-- in societies where these happen to be the case, it's not so much because of islam but more of a people's culture and tradition.  

this guy knows the practice of arabs in saudi arabia and had concluded that it is so throughout the muslim world.  it isn't so.  not in indonesia or malaysia, not in some parts of the arab middle east, not in turkey and other muslim countries in eastern europe, and definitely not in our muslim mindanao.  

hey, we know better than shelving people with stereotypes and generalizations.  americans wouldn't want to be called indiscrimate f_ckers just because hollywood people give the impression that they are.  filipinos aren't all drug mules just because three of our compatriots were executed in china for the offense.

we may have less misunderstandings if we do away with cultural stereotypes and giving these religious labels (which strikes at the core of a people's reason for being), or what are we as christians?  christian f_ckers?  we've become used to the label of 'muslim terrorist', but were those terrorists in europe decades ago (italy's red brigade, germany's red army faction aka baader-meinhof gang, ireland's i.r.a., etc.) ever labeled as christian or catholic or protestant terrorists?  

and while we're at stereotyping and generalizing, lest we forget, people from luzon look down on us bisayas as promdi.  are we?  do we like the label?  or must we be thankful that at least we are not called catholic promdi?

European Union EU / Re: Moscow's Drinking Problem
April 18, 2011, 07:28:57 PM

it's finland's problem, too.

All alcohol is taxed quite heavily in Finland (supposedly to cover the healthcare costs due to Finns drinking too much). Almost half of the price of a bottle of wine consists of taxes (45 %). This is why travelling to neighboring countries such as Estonia (with a much lower level of taxation) to buy alcohol has become something of a hobby for many Finns. In the year 2004 the Finnish government decided to lower the taxes, but the prices of wine did not change very much. The prices of spirits however dropped about a third. Many people have wondered if this is a sensible way to handle the alcohol issue, but the consequenses remain to be seen. At least the friends of vodka are happy about the change.

Drinking habits

Finnish alcohol culture is not very refined compared with Central-European wine culture. Finns tend to go drinking after a hard week at work (Alko makes 50% of a whole week's sales on friday and saturday), whereas the 'European way' would be to drink a glass of wine at mealtimes. A popular way of enjoying alcohol is to drink until you collapse, and on average every Finn consumes almost 1 litre of vodka every week (*). Of course this is not the whole truth, but compared with other countries Finns certainly do seem to drink hard.

European Union EU / Re: Moscow's Drinking Problem
April 18, 2011, 07:10:12 PM

Some people use the Mickey Finn with the intent of a practical joke; the victim's plight is supposed to be amusing to the victim or to the group in general. In these instances, temporary incapacitation without permanent harm is usually the goal, as the spiked drink is supposed to be all in good fun. However, victims of this type of practical joke often do not enjoy it, and sometimes bad drug reactions can occur, causing serious illness or permanent damage.

Classically, the Mickey Finn has been used to create an easy mark for robbery. Just as the bartender for whom the drink is named did in the late 1800s, a thief can slip someone a Mickey, as they say, and then help themselves to the victim's wallet and jewelry. Enterprising thieves may even take house and car keys for the purpose of a more extended crime spree.

A more sinister use of the Mickey Finn evolved in the late 20th century, when people started using drugs to spike drinks at clubs and parties for the purpose of committing rape. Typically, the perpetrators of such crimes are male, and they use drugs which are designed to confuse their victims so that the victim consents willingly at the time to sexual activity, or is unable to resist due to stupor, confusion, or physical incapacitation. One of the problems with such drugs is that they often cause memory lapses, which can make the victims unreliable as witnesses.

apropos to hubag's post... drink and be merry!

What is a Mickey Finn?

A Mickey Finn is an alcoholic beverage which has been adulterated with a substance which is designed to incapacitate the person who drinks it. In a classic Mickey Finn, the drink includes knockout drops such as chloral hydrate which render the consumer unconscious, although other variations involve the addition of drugs which cause someone to vomit or develop intestinal distress. In the modern era, the Mickey Finn is usually a drink which has been laced with a so-called “date rape drug,” a drug which makes someone pliable and forgetful.

People have been drugging each other's drinks for a variety of reasons for hundreds and possibly thousands of years, but the term “Mickey Finn” dates to the early 20th century. It appears to have originated in Chicago, a city which was famously rough in the late 1800s. Allegedly, a bartender by the name of Mickey Finn was in the habit of spiking the drinks of customers so that he could rob them. In 1903, he was put on trial and the bar was closed, and it seems strongly probable that the concept of the Mickey Finn is named for the bartender who popularized it.

Hahahaha no pic, it's inside my belly na!!! I marinated it with Italian seasoning, teriyake sauce, worcestershire sauce, pepper, onion, kamatis, celery salt, parley leaves... bisan unsa man to pataka lang.  ;D

hehe, mao nay klarong cooking.  way sundon, unya nganlan dayon ang resulta with some exotic, mouth-watering name and, presto, an immortal dish is made.  (sa ato bitaw, disgrasya ra man tong pagkahimoa sa peanut kisses...)

name suggestions (di na cooking suggestions) for fr chic's dish:  vive italiaki, sayonara italiana inglatera, fish fillet in divine forgiveness, i was poorly born on the top of the mountain fish surprise, etc.

grabe na gyud kalisud sa panahon kay wa nay patawad mga tao ron... desperado ng uban para lang gyud maka survive...

i still believe that the situation is not a life-and-death one.  magkalisod sa ato, naa pa baya gyoy makaon.  pamatasan ug konsyensya lay kuwang sa uban nato.  kun wa ko masayop, kadtong mga naka-jackpot ug di mao, ang unang paliton tv.  wa baya gyoy malumos kay way tv.

i'm reminded of our "reputation" in the olympics.  we send more escorts (coaches, trainors, masseurs, cooks, etc.) than athletes.  most of them reputedly disappear after the games.  that's why host cities are more careful with philippine delegations.  what a shame.
