The family is the smallest unit of society.  I love my husband though.  We never discussed who rules at home.  We have arrangements and we do our chores separately.

I am not a feminist. I am not a man-hater.  I love men, my father, my brothers, my husband, my baby boys.., my male friends.

Kung mag sugod man gud kag pangutana kinsay hawd sa panimalay, adto magsugod ang problema.

I just say, it is an unnecessary question, because in the end our existence depends on each other.

and to Kiris, dili literal and meaning sa world!.... hahahahaha!!  ang panimalay Kiris, gamay na nga "world". mao na imung world. di ba?

Bye, pips, I have bigger kingdoms to rule.  Good luck. hahahaha

It is not made political, because it is on its nature a political question.  If you have affirmed that it is indeed a stupid question, why bother posting?  And how would you seek a lucid answer to an insane question?

Logically inconsistent.

How do you classify a political question?  It is a political question when there is a "struggle for power".  In this sense, there is a struggle for power between men and women who should rule.


Are definitions clear now?

Grazie,

Have you ever made some readings that the pre-colonial Philippines is a matriarchal society and patriarchy only came along with western colonization?

I find it sad when women are disempowered by their ownselves, not by men.

You cannot even recollect which subject was that?  There are different languages discourses in sociological studies.

I would suggest, before I open my mouth I will do some readings.

you are right in your opinion.
if this question is stupid, why bother answering?
if there's an opinion to further deepen a more lucid answer, why make it a political question when it is not.

Economists are in hot debate whether illegal immigration really hurts the economy but they could not get into conclusion.  Only Borras, an american born Cuban is vehemently claimming that it hurts the US economy because he hates Mexicans. One study even concluded that the undocumented immigrants  are in no competition with the natives.  They are only taking jobs which the natives do not want to do. 

It is high-time that the US review its immigration policies.  I take my case as an example.  I applied for a US visa 6 months ago and they gave me 10 year multiple entry. Although I was happy to be given such an privilege, it made me think the dangers of multiple entry. I have no intentions of staying in the states though.  Other people could abuse the multiple entry visa, to work in the states illegally and occasionally exiting in Mexico or Canada.  My cousins applied for a tourist visa through a wedding invitation, they were granted.  My brother had an invitation from the American Medical Association to present his research was denied, for reasons we do not know.  I find it very ironic.  The rules are not clear.

My british tourist visa is only for one year, which I think is more safer on the part of the british government.  It safeguard abuse of the multiple entry.

On the issue on "jumping over borders", that is a security issue, not an immigration issue.  If the american government was not good enough at securing their territory in the South, then that is their short-coming.

Now, I would not wonder how did the 9/11 took place.  Just simply because the american security forces are inefficient.

If you cannot solve "jumping over the borders" issue, then how would you be efficient in addressing terrorism?  If I were Ossama bin Laden, would'nt be easier for me to jump over borders too?

Majesty Eve Jala, a daughter of ex-Cong. Elpidio Jala and sister of Cong. Adam Jala placed fourth in the recent bar exams.

1,310 pass Bar Exam; student from San Sebastian is No. 1

MANILA, Philippines â€" Judy Lardizabal, a law student from the San Sebastian College, emerged on top of the 1,310 examinees who passed the 2008 Bar Examination.

The exam has a 20.58 percent passing rate, lower than last year’s 22.91 percent. A record 6,364 examinees from 109 law schools took the test in September 2008. For the complete result, click this.

Lardizabal who got a score of 85.70 percent is followed by Mylene Amerol-Macumbal of the Mindanao State University with 85.65.

Third is Oliver Baclay Jr. of the Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) with 85.6; followed by Majesty Eve Jala of Ateneo (85.50); Ma. Elizabeth Liceralde of the University of the Philippines (85.40); and Michael Macapagal also of UP (84.15).

Denise Dy and April Love Regis both from ADMU are tied at seventh place (84.00), followed by Christine Joy Tan of ADMU (83.80).

Shirley Velasquez of UP and Gian Jacob of San Beda are on the ninth spot (83.75). Vanessa Raymundo of San Beda Collage (83.70) completes the top 10.

The Supreme Court earlier said the release of the results would be at 4 p.m. but later moved it to 6 p.m. “Nagde-decode pa kasi at after the decoding, immediately after, ilalabas na natin iyan [We still have to decode the results before releasing them]," SC spokesman Midas Marquez said earlier in the afternoon.

The Philippine Bar Examination is the national licensure exam for the admission to the practice of law. The 2008 bar examinations committee was chaired by Associate Justice Dante Tinga

The list of names is also displayed at the Supreme Court premises and was flashed on wide screens at the SC front yard near the Padre Faura entrance.

For people who wanted to spare themselves from braving through the thick crowd that would flock to the Supreme Court building in Manila, the court has put up since Friday noon a Web site where the names of the passers are displayed.

However, Dave Uy III, one of the thousands of hopefuls, seeing whether or not his name is on the coveted list was more important.

“Gusto ko ako talaga ako makakakita ng name ko talaga. Ito na. Pinaghirapan ko po ito [I want to see my name myself. This is it. I’ve worked hard for this]," he told GMA News.

Even Dory Panis trooped to the Supreme Court to view the results â€" even if she was not an examinee. “Hindi makapunta anak ko. Natatakot siya at stressed na stressed. Magdamag siyang hindi makatulog [My child â€" who does not want to go here â€" is so stressed, afraid, and was unable to sleep]."

108th time

The 108th bar exams were conducted over four Sundays of September 2008 at the De La Salle University in Taft Avenue, Manila.

In determining the average, subjects in the examinations are given the following relative weights: Political and International Law, 15%; Labor and Social Legislation, 10%; Civil Law, 15%; Taxation, 10%; Mercantile Law, 15%; Criminal Law, 10%; Remedial Law, 20%; and Legal Ethics and Practical Exercises, 5%, for a total of 100%.

The 2008 bar exams marked the fourth time that the 'five-strike' rule was observed.

The rule limits to five the maximum number of times a candidate may take what is reputed to be the most grueling government-administered test, was implemented. with reports from CARLO LORENZO, GMANews.TV

Although I do not believe in that article which has been picked up from anywhere else in the net, I still do believe that education and other basic services are for everybody, irregardless if he is a son or daughter of an undocumented immigrant or not.

Undocumented immigrants are people.  It does not make them less people just because they do not have papers to support for it.

Asa ra man atong pagka Christianos ani? Na-sina ta sa mga mumho nga gikaon sa mga undocumented immigrants while busog ta kaayo sa atong panimalay`?

Ate Belle, they do.

This is an article alone concerning the city of Lost Angeles, California:

http://wehategringos.com/whg/?p=1567

In the state of California, Ate Belle, over 10 billion dollars alone are spent for the housing, aid, education of illegals. etc.

On a national basis, over $29 BILLION are spent for educating illegal immigrant children; and children born to illegal immigrants.
This is just the educational aspect.

Really?  This article is so inconsistent, why?  The writer does not even know that all children born in the States are american citizens by birth, that is irregardless if their parents are undocumented or not. 

We are hostages of our own kind.

Politics is the struggle for power and influence.  Questions like this one is a political question which goes back to the question, is there a political struggle between men and women?

Would women get pregnant without men? or at least a male sperm donor?  Would there be boys who would grow up to be men without women bearing them in their wombs?

If our existence depends on each other, why ask a stupid question?

No undocumented immigrant would want to remain undocumented.  The only good deed of the infamous american Ex-President Bush is his endorsement of the new Immigration bill. I do not know if this was passed. I do not know of the details though.

Of course countries are protecting their economic interests.  But blaming the undocumented immigrants for their short-comings which resulted to economic turn down? that is not fair.

The ballooning of undocumented immigrants in the US must be blamed on their immigration policies.  If companies are stringent and do not hire "under the table" workers, there would be lesser undocumented immigrants.  What is left actually for the undocumented workers are the dirty work, the crumbs.

WE always browse pages of the bible in search of enlightenment.  Do we even remember the story of Lazarus and the Rich man? Lazarus was only feeding on crumbs left from the Rich man., right?

manglimbawt akong balahibo sa mga taong  sigeg cite ug bible oi.. pero selective ra diay.

It is cheaper to put off lights in the Philippines where there are fewer industries. heheh..  (pun intended)

Even the holy pontiff Benedict during his visit to the US and many Catholic bishops and priests extended messages for amnesty  and expounded the "moral obligation" to accommodate "those suffering from economic hardship".

The term illegal immigrants is political incorrect.  There are no illegal citizens of the world.  We are all citizens of the world.  We even welcome migrant birds and place them at utmost protection, ... but people?, hell no,we declare them illlegal! We place them in prison cells like criminals and send them back to their countries!

The politically correct term is undocumented immigrants.

The lazy americans are complaining that the illegal immigrants are taking their jobs, well if they arent lazy enough then there should have no jobs left for illegal immigrants.  LOGIC!!

Pardon my ignornance.  Under which economic theory or economic analysis would firmly support that illegal immigrants are to be blamed for americas economic turn down? 

Consider the social context of illegal immigration and dont be so selfish in your critics.  People would not take risks in becoming illegal immigrants if they have better choices at home.  If you claim to be a filipino, you should have a heart for the Filipinos.  Do you even have any idea that these illegal immigrants are feeding families, clans and sending their children, nephews, nieces to school?

Such a heartless and selffish comment.!!!  If we claim to be Filipinos, let us feel for the Filipinos.

Lucky are those who were born with silver spoons, some are just even born with bare hands, to work...!!

ngano gud ni nga naabut naman ni sa "uteral" ug digestive files?

Many Americans are asking the question, why does this happen? why are we pounded by this catastrophic events?

Kay nakahibalo na baya ta ngano nga ang America nag antos karon, kay kani laging "SIN" nga kuno bahin sa modern humanist or secular movement is an thing from the past. There is only self realization, nothing else....hehehehhe makatawa ra baja ta ani oy, gahi jud diay nang kamagung nga kahoy no? or a birch tree? really?,

Wwwaittaminute, kinsay nag ingon nga nag antos ang America, did anyone read Raquel proud Boholana's comment on the "51st State" thread?

Statistics shows last years abortion in the USA, was the highest ever in the history of human existence, and you ask why is this happening to us?, Philippines do you want to share the punishment that is upon the USA? by becoming the 51st State?

Good so people should stop coming here and watch out because ill wait for you at the consulate...LOL


The God Of Israel, Jesus Christ, "Elohim" in the old testament said: I will punish them, I will assign terror over them, I will make their land desolate, They have not known my ways.
I will destroy them until they realize that I Am that I Am.

Why, do all people really believed that the world will last forever? do you? You may need to review your science.

haha, Rose


Being raised in a fairly conservative Filipino household, I find beauty in my parents' arguments and their semantics. There is always a process in their 'arguments'. lol. Mother says something, father says something back, they shout, one goes out, then comes back, after wards, they buy food, they cook, they eat. The children come.

And a new child is born next year. haha!

(mind you i am a bit overexageratting the 'next year' aspect, lol, you get the point).

My parents fight, they make love, they make war, they make love, and make amends, and they raise their children the right way. To me, and to us, their children, they fit each other. Two peas in a pot, me-thinks.

They  still sounded IN LOVED to me Lorenzo, no matter what...they kick each other's butt! and it is real.

Im just hoping you could have the same relationship like your parents have.

Fdaray, i think it is not the agency's job to deduct the employees' payment, it is the employers job to submit the right stuff to the GSIS.

Filipinos really are hard to understand and very difficult to please...I cant blame them because they were ruled with very crook government.

And I dont blame the government because the crook people choose them too...vice versa!

Isnt it very clear that is is just a personal busines?

America ended up the big loser in this f***k**ng  DRAMA!!!

Ulcers and marriage sometimes go together like a horse and carriage. A recent study of over 8,000 men revealed that good marriages mean fewer ulcers; troubled marriages increase the risk.

In other words, men who receive love and support from their wives and believe they have a good marriage are only half as likely to suffer from ulcers as men who feel unsupported by their mates and believe they are trapped in a loveless marriages...

For Women, it's  vice versa...

Birthday Blues

Did you know that you're 20 percent more likely to be hit with a heart attack on your birthday than other days of the same week?

Sounds incredible, but researchers suspects two reasons, one mental and othey physical.

Emotionally, you may be under a lot of additional stress just realizing that another year has passed and time is rushing past you. And that stress can trigger a heart attack.

The second reason may be plain old overindulgence by a birthday boy or girl - too much eating and drinking, playing too hard.

So practice this secret, on your next birthday: Relax and remind yourself that you're not getting older, you're really getting better.

And then pass on those seconds for ice cream and cake...

1. Heart Disease
2. Cancer
3. Cardiovascular Disease
4. Accidents
5. Pulmonary Disease
6. Pneumonia, Flu

10. Atherosclerosis
11. All other causes (i dont know what are these)

When you say "Government employees are hired to serve not to complain" I dont see and had never analyzed this move as a COMPLAIN from the government.

And one more thing, if these people are already paranoid of the government's handling towards them-I ask you, WHO CHOOSED THESE GOVERNMENT? Isn't it the PEOPLE WHO ALWAYS COMPALAIN ITSELF?
