But what would the mechanism be?  Many would say that lack of family planning is a root cause of poverty.  Also, religion often overemphasizes deference to authority, an enabler of corruption.

on the other hand, world demographics shows that first world countries have aging populations while third world ones generally have younger populations and higher birth rates.  then there are some anti-family planning advocates who claim that first world countries foot the bill for population control in third world countries because the first world fears that their respective populations would be overrun in the future.  i don’t know if this is a credible claim, but demographics certainly speaks for itself and first world aid almost always includes population control targets as a pre-requisite.

deference to authority is inherent in organizations, be they secular or religious.  it is understandably a factor for peace and order.  tolerating abuse of authority is another animal all together.  our nation is known for patience, but not endless patience.  we drove out marcos, for one.

Agreed, most of this doesn't have anything to do with the hostage taking, rather the more general complaints of the Dutch guy.

I was thinking that many organized religions encourage poverty because a poor person is more likely to be religious, in need of spiritual help.  There are wise men in the Church who must have noticed for a long time that followers have been increasing in the third world yet decreasing in the first world. 

i believe, mr. ben, that it will be self-defeating for organized religion to encourage poverty.  (some practical questions if this were so would be something like:  who would support it?  what would be its logistical source for expansion?  whence cometh the font of tithe?)

irrefutably, a church whose members are happy is a successful church.  if such church encourages poverty among its members, it might be shooting itself in the foot.

if a poor person were more likely to become religious, i think it is because in the midst of material deprivation and possible despair, one seeks relief in prayer and hope.

but maybe, just maybe, there is a direct correlation between material wealth and the need for spiritual relief in the so-called organized church.  could it be that people in the first world are too busy enjoying material comforts and making money to support such comforts that they no longer have the time for spiritual reinforcements in an organized church?  would they rather go on weekend breaks to the wild outdoors than attend church service?       

i take comfort in my belief that government policy, history and the vestiges of colonization (some of which, once put down on paper as bilateral agreements upon a country’s independence, are truly lopsided in favor of the colonizer) make for poverty.  then there’s a people’s attitudes, one of which is the standard (usually western in our place and time) that they take as the yardstick for wealth.

Bless your heart Miss Isle kay imong gipadayon sa inyong pinuy anan ang itoy. Gahapon nag adopt sad mi ug laing iring.Medyo na jealous si Bootsie pero nalooy ko aring kitten nga gamay gwapa raba hehehe kay siya man ingduol gyud nako sa garden unya tayming pud akong mga anak nagsegi ask if they can have another pet. Affectionate kaayo ang kitten among ginganlan ug Katy.
We had dog before we name Frisbee. Iyang mother jud mismo nagdeliver sa iyang puppy kara balay. Momma dog walk her puppies with her and drop them one by one in our neighborhood. Imagine she walk how many miles? Most neighbors is about a mile or 2 from us. By the way she had about 5 puppies. So kaming tanan sa among neighborhood 5 mile radius na surprise kay sa front porch man gyud niya gipangdrop iyang puppy. Angat pa jud to christmas.
Karon naa pud mi iro si Blacky.Gikan si Blacky sa 12 ka igsoon unya stray dog iyang Momma nga ing show up sa balay sa bestfriend sa akong bana. Muot lang paminawon nga kara naay farmer moari sa among shop moingon ug your dog exactly like mine dayon mangutana ug gikan na ka Robin V? I found out nga ang pinaka close ni Robin V ang nag adopt sa iyang 12 ka puppies.

one of the best stories ever told of human-animal relationships.  thanks, raqz.  this made my day.  what a potential for a great essay subject matter.  i can almost feel it. 

do i love the idea of the u.s. countryside because of your story.  how poignant! 

p.s.  if you have the leisure, try helping yourself to the series of books of james herriot, an english veterinarian and writer.  i think he has more than ten books, but reading three of these would be heaven enough.  titles:  all creatures great and small, all things bright and beautiful, and all things wise and wonderful.  i just know these books (they're easy reading pocket-sized books) fit you, your lifestyle, and your world, the kind that i could only dream about.

Di kaha ni dognap victim? 

if you're the owner, come forward and pay the ransom!  (or i'll cut your ears off. )

this is shy mamma mia, a female puppy (original owner unknown) that we "acquired" less than 48 hours ago by accident.  she strayed with her mother to a nearby gas station.  unfortunately, her mother left her there.  (thus her name, mamma mia.)

the gas station already has 3 big dogs, excluding those that come daily as visitors.  the big dogs showed hostility to this helpless puppy, which worried the station's staff.  they turned desperate when mamma mia was run over by a car.  luckily, she survived unscathed because she was positioned in the middle, between the wheels.  that was when they decided to pass this quivering, scared, and scarred puppy to us.  

but why us?  perhaps it's because every time i hear a dog yelp in pain, i at once run to the gas station to ask why.  (serves me right.)  

we can't keep mamma mia.  two rooms in the house are already occupied by 6 adopted cats.  besides, we're not staying here for long.  we wouldn't dare abandon pets, though, but neither could we afford the expense of taking home with us 6 cats and a potentially big dog.  (this early, i already know that it costs 200 bucks per kilo of live animal, including the weight of the pet carrier, in airfare alone.)  and there are already 4 dogs back home.  

but i'll do what i can for mamma mia; have her vaccinated, spayed, draw out her potential as a playful puppy, take away her fears, and convince her to trust humans.  then i'll look for the best home for her in a month or so.  

i believe it was mamma mia's mother who came to the gas station this morning to look for her puppy.  that dog gave me an idea of how big mamma mia would turn out, fully grown.  but how does one explain to a dog not to stray with her puppy to avoid the highway's dangers?  how do i tell their owner, if ever i get to meet him, to be more responsible and to exercise measures so their pets won't stray?

one day soon, mamma mia will go to another home.  a much better home, to be sure, because i will see to that.  already, i feel like crying.

A more constructive criticism is in order, some soul searching with questions like:
Does religiosity have bad effects on society eg continuation of poverty?
Should so many of the brightest go overseas for work?
Should kids at school be inculcated with a more 'can-do' attitude, do they merely lack confidence?
Should public services that are useless (eg some of the PNP televised) be cut back or strictly monitored for performance?

question #3:  luckily for us, inculcation of the 'can-do' attitude isn't lacking, nor confidence.  it is these kids at school who grow up with enough 'can-do' spirit and confidence that they can compete in the global work force without depending on their government's social welfare net (which is almost nil to begin with.)

question #4:  most definitely, with better investment in training and facilities to boot.

question #2:  not necessarily.  filipinos who go overseas for work cover the whole spectrum, from the brightest to the dullest, from the most educated to the least.  current statistics show that 1 in every 10 filipinos is abroad.  which means that for every bright or dull filipino working abroad, there are nine bright or dull filipinos who chose to stay in our own country.  whatever the logic is of my statistical interpretation ( !), the truth is filipinos who chose to work abroad, regardless of their qualifications and intelligence quotients, chose to work abroad for a bigger pay. 

consider a domestic help.  rare, indeed, is a filipino household that could, and would, pay a monthly salary of 10k pesos.  let this same domestic help go abroad, and she could very well get this amount at the minimum.  that doesn't take much intelligence.

i understand the italians about two centuries ago experienced their own economic and job diaspora that we filipinos, and for that matter indians, chinese, mexicans, etc. are experiencing now.  today, italy is part of G8. 

i guess every nation has its time for wealth and greatness as it has its time for tragedy and humility.

meantime, we filipinos can take pride in the fact that there are the best and brightest of legal minds and the best and brightest of medical practitioners, academicians, engineers, among many other professions, who have chosen to remain.

let me hazard some answers (purely personal ones; unlike dutch boy, i cannot speak for the whole filipino nation):

to question #1:  no.  religiosity, or religion, does not have a bad effect on society.  religion is basically society's moral compass.  how can a moral compass have a bad effect?

religion does not even have any bearing on poverty.  (apropos, i doubt if any religion in the world encourages any adherent to get rich quick or to choose dire poverty for that matter.)  what we do is often mistaking a people's culture and history with their religion.  

our muslim brothers in the south are considered comparatively poorer to their christian brethren in the north.  but there's our history showing that those in the land of promise in the south, where most, at the time, happen to be muslim, were dispossessed by those from the north, who happen to be christian.  the cause may have been human greed and insensibility.  definitely it wasn't religion.

it's somewhat similar to northern ireland, where irish catholics are supposedly poorer (or disadvantaged) than english protestants.  the cause, as we may know, was simply english government policy that favored protestants above catholics, which further encouraged protestant settlement in northern ireland.  after over five centuries, we know that the hostilities there continue to fester.

thus, it looks like bad politics, insensitive government policy, and human greed cause society to go awry.  religion does not, though it seems as if it's a whipping boy and a scapegoat.          

or how about saying that theo van gogh (yes, the great-grandson of the brother of that dutch artist who cut his ears off) was murdered by a muslim because the dutch are intolerant of other religions, or that theo himself didn't take a bath because his great-granduncle vincent didn't?  far from it! 

or should i say that the dutch have cannabis-addled brains just because marijuana is available in their 'coffee shops'?  (poor filipino me was shocked when i went inside one in amsterdam, some years ago.  i was expecting an ordinary, everyday flower shop!  no, i didn't conclude that the dutch are crazy because marijuana is "legal" there.)

i could go on and on with countless illogical conclusions out of real events concerning nationalities and countries, but the fact remains that it would always be idiotic to conclude with sweeping generalizations such as what dutch boy did.

Quote from: ben on September 03, 2010, 09:51:26 AM
Agreed, his opinions were half b*** stemming from being married to a gold-digger.  A shame, because it detracted from the valid points that he made.

yes, mr. ben.  dutch boy's incisive analysis got buried by his attacks on filipino culture as if the failure of the hostage crisis had anything to do with our culture and religion.  his rants against a people negated his logic. 

can anyone be credible if, say, he declares that dutch gay politician pim fortuyn, who had no police protection, was assassinated in 2002 by a fellow dutch because the dutch are promiscuous by nature (think xaviera hollander) and because the dutch are calvinists?

come on, we all know that this is only half well said, and that is already flattering this dutch guy who seems to own only half a mind. 

there's some truth to what he said, to be sure, but why look at the glass as half empty when it could also be half full?  just because our swat team was a failure and our tv channels were concerned with a scoop rather than helping save lives, does it mean that the whole nation is a failure and would go for news scoops instead of saving lives?  what a limited mind this dutch has, no wonder a mere paint brand carries this boy's name.   

and how presumptuous can he get to speak for the chinese and japanese?  what is he, an expert not only of hostage situations but also of the psychology of racial discrimination?   

no wonder he deserves his wife whom he describes as someone who married him for "money and green card".  now, who is more intelligent, the filipino wife who got what she wanted, or the dutch husband who's been had?

So what's the purpose of including such topic on the news?  Just for attention?

as i have said, the purpose is latent in the significant number.  any news writer worth his salt would include it for the sake of the report's completeness.  for one thing, the number of filipinos mentioned is 50k short of 4th placer honduras.  that is significant enough. 

the attention it has gotten, specifically from tb (because it was posted here) and especially from you, is an unintended consequence. 

"Kaparat man gud sa Pinoy mamaayo man or madautan, ganahan iapil ang kaugalingon...", as you earlier claimed, is somewhat a long shot because the news item happened to be sourced by abs-cbn from an agence france-presse report, datelined washington, both of which obviously are not filipino.  so what filipino here is asking for attention?

the number of filipinos mentioned is significant enough to be included in the news item.  that's what i meant by "...merit attention".  any government's attention was farthest from my mind.

at least this is clearer now.  i take it that manpower pooling is what it is at the moment.  it does not assure anyone of any sure job placement. 

during the last election period, many politicians used these potential guam jobs in their campaigns as if they're responsible for the job openings.  a guam senator took pains to correct that misperception, saying that the job openings are for all qualified persons regardless of nationality, not just for filipinos.  that was one hell of a cold water for politicians who took credit where there was none, the kind who would even take credit for an erupting volcano if they thought that it helped in their campaign.

Mercedes Benz is one of the top quality car makers out there, their older models are beautiful and the engine is built to last decades. I have a good friend whose father still drives a 1998 Mercedes S-500 series and the engine is still in tip top shape despite having over 120,000 miles. You can never go wrong when you go for Benz.

When you think of, or when you see a Benz, one thing comes to mind: Class.

we are believers in the merc, too.  our first one ages ago was a 1988 230e model.  it was just too big for me.  this one now is a 190e with 6 cylinders.  its size is just right for me; i don't feel 'buried' in it, unlike the old one where i felt like a little girl inside.

we have a friend whose mercedes had been through it all, the mileage counter went back to 1, from the beginning, because it has reached the maximum mileage that the counter is capable of counting.  yet the car was still in tip-top shape and super running condition, good as new.

an old mercedes, e class.  (must be e class because there's an e there, otherwise, i'm truly daft about classes, hehe.)  the hubby bought it because he felt it fits me to a t.

i like, and am satisfied, with what i'm driving now because i'm so used to it, it has become an old comfortable and comforting friend.

@ ma'am cujo , Salamat sa imong tips ha...karon pa'ko kong dili diay simhuton ang flowers ibig sabihin walay pag-asa.

@ boss vrglguapo, diay akong nakita'ng LUMAY boss parang sayon sondugon...Suka gikan sa Tuba man siguro ni unya may siling kolikot dinogmok,  ...

hehe, kun mo-epekto man galing ni, sir vist, makasiguro ko nga aswang ang motugpa nimo.  cease and desist from taking the risk...
   

mora mag kaspahon kaayo ning mga cebuano lady politicians ani.  unsa man god tuod ang naa ana kun manaway, kana kun tinood man galing?  madre mia, hasta ang halls of congress, iapil?  they must have better things to do than pick on someone's opinion. 

hey, cutie del mar, unsa kahag ang imong oras gamiton sa pagtangtang anang imong mga ritrato sa public buses plying your district?  mas luod nang dako kaayo kag ngisi.  mao nay klarong insulto sa mga cebuano. 

meantime, whatever a former washed-down miss universe says will not change the way cebuanos and bisayas speak english.  we're more secure than that.

Pasaylo nga walay kinutoban,
Kini ang maayong pagtulon-an.

pagtulon-an nga way pasaylo
di maayo kay makakrokongho.

that's still a number big enough to merit attention, regardless of the rank.

kataw-anan lang kay pari ang giingnan.

and in a place where there's no bus at all and all the habal-habals are dangerous, who says walking isn't good for the heart?

didto's kamagayan nga gihisgutan permi ni Hubag way magay....naay daghang imbaw....duol-duol ra man gud na sa carbon.

baho-baho diay na didtog imbaw nga napan-os. 

sa ubos sad nga silingan sa belgium, sa germany diin di uso ang paghatod-kuha ug auto sa mga bata sa ekuwelahan, ang amo tawong grader bag-o ug bike kaniadto.  wa sad miy buot kay gipalitan man namog mahal-mahal nga bike kay kini laging gusto tang kausa ra mopalit. 

sabado gipalit, pagka-lunes sa buntag, tawag ang bata pagka-recess.  ambot unsa poy nasulod sa akong ulo nga diretso man kog ingon nga ngano man, gikawat imong bike?  iyang tubag: sakto gyod ka, 'my.  nikatawa na lang intawon ko ug niingon nga pag-train na lang pauli kun naa kay kuwarta.

maayo gani kay gibayran mi sa insurance sa eskuwelahan.  sukad ato, ang among paliton second-hand na sa flea market kay mao may advice sa among mga silingan.       

kun mao, aw, kaila na bitaw tang bai hubs... apilon na lang niyag tangtang nang bar nga gitaoran sa iyang bike.  mora hinoon siyag knight templar sa crusades nga nagdala ug lance, hahaha!  bike lang iyang gisakyan, dili kabayo.

way sala ang inosente.  gusto lang tawon tingali niyang makit-an kun unsay gipriso sa puthaw kay ma-tetanus unya.

maayo gani kay hangin ra, bai vhinz.  kun si bai hubs na man lang, daghan na siyag sources of air.

sa belgium ba kaha ning ritratoha?  di paki-auto ang mga tawo didto sa ilang inadlawng kalihokan.  mao nga per capita, ang belgium kuno ang kinadaghanan ug bike sa tibuok kalibotan.  grabe sang kawat. 

kaila nakong pari  bag-og bike sa pag-eskuwela niya didto (sa louvain, belgium ang further studies ug mga paring scholar).  nakawat dayon wa abtig usa ka adlaw.  sumbong siya sa police.  nalipong na tingali ang kapolisan sa kadaghang kawat ug bike didto, giingnan lang siya tawon nga pangawat na lang pod ug imo, pamakwi.
