STALLED

Another problem. Another headache.

And all the way, the 2006 Nursing Board Exam passers are always the victim. The government will eventually give way to what the CGFNS wants. The appeals move is a futile one, but they still do it for the purpose of media mileage.

NAPAKO

Some people say that promises are made to be broken.

And now, folks from Nueva Valencia are starting to realize that this saying is partly, if not entirely, true.

PRIORITIZING

This administration indeed has its plan. And they are setting their priorities according to their “plan”.

The plan is Oplan Makabayan: an anti-insurgency drive that ambitiously aims for the eradication of the rebellion and the primary movers of it in the country. The objective: to build the President’s Strong Republic.

And understandably, that plan doesn’t include the economic alleviation of its citizens, specifically those who comprises the majority of the Filipino populace. That plan puts into the backburner the lowering of the prices of medicines in the country, and completely shelves the P125 wage hike across the board.

That plan therefore, is completely anti-people and anti-human rights.

HANDS FULL

Iloilo Governor Niel Tupas has his hands full facing the menace brought by the Ombudsman’s decision to permanently bar him from seeking any government post by means of elections.

And while parrying off the attacks, three inmates of the new Iloilo Rehabilitation Center miraculously escaped the newly built Provincial Jail.

That would be another punch to the Governor’s head.

RABID

The AFP growls upon hearing the news regarding the Human Security Act. They received their bone to play with and yet, they did not even bother to say thank you, at least, that very moment they first received he news.

The AFP, with all its might, arm, and connections, are complaining that the HAS, to them is a soft version of the Anti-Terror Law thay are dreaming for many years.

This made me wonder about the strength and capability of the AFP to stop the insurgency, without using the term terrorism against the insurgents, its supporters and political ally.

NAKA-PAKYAW

Look at him!

That, ladies and gentlemen will soon become an added attraction on the deteriorating halls of the Lower House, more known as the Congress.

Well at least, maybe we can see him in the future, engaging a colleague not in a heated argument but in a fist fight, where he excels. We can also expect him to legalize the tupada’s and encourage young ones to stop studying, go on boxing, win, be a champ and then bet a million peso to a cockfight or a billiards game.

Sa tagalong, lumaki na ang ulo ni Pakyaw. At hindi na niya kayang dalhin pa ang kanyang ulo. His head now carries him.

To his death. Politically, at least.

COMPLAINT DESK.

At first glance, the local government and a local NGO’s effort to implement the Comprehensive Agreement for the Respect of Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL) is a good sign towards the realization of peace through the peace process between the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) and the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP).

But considering the big picture, wherein community and sectoral leaders and media personalities that are perceived to be critical to the government are getting killed by terrorists with impunity in broad day light, this effort might result to… nothing.

Or maybe it will be used as another venue to tail the complainants and the NGO members that is maliciously tagged by the military as communist fronts.

We are hoping though that this skepticism should remain as skepticism. We will be very glad to be proven wrong. So many innocent lives and bright minds are being unreasonably wasted due to the military’s huge fear to the red specter.

DYING TO SURVIVE

Remember Kit Tatad?

The one who announced the declaration of Martial Law? The one who participated in barring the opening of the second envelope during the Estrada plunder trial? The politically dead man?

Yep. He's dying. Dying to survive. Lately, he paid a lot of money to national newspapers just to make us believe that he wants the electoral system changed.

Poor Kit. Tadtad na't lahat, umaasa pa rin.

KILLING US

The human race are indeed unique! It is the only member of kingdom animalia that is senselessly and unreasonably killing itself in order to survive.

Animals!

ARE YOU THREATENING ME?

Yes!

If the anti-terrorism bill is passed, we are all dead. Our government is composed not by laws but by fools who feel obliged to run this country just because they have the money, the guns and they are all part of the gang.

If this government allows some militarist sectors to kill the civilian just to silence them and prevent them from getting into the halls of Congress, imagine what else can they do against the common tao, if they have these anti-terrorism bill passed.

Hell?

Yes hell!

A BREATH TAKING EVENT: PLACE YOUR BET

As usual, DOJ's Gonzalez is in the news again. This time, it's about the shabu-related case, that the Pasig Police filed against a big-time shabu pusher. Apparently, the people in the police are not happy with Gonzalez' series of letters stating that the police has no strong case against the pusher and that the cop's witness is considered as more dangerous than the suspect at hand.

We don't know yet what's the truth.

But you bet you can bet.
