Enough of the Arroyo Administration!

2008-12-16T13:56:00.002+08:00

We, Filipinos, are so unlucky here in the Philippines considering the problems the country faces, thanks to the maneuverings of a fake president. Despite all the scandals and allegations of graft and corruption, ate glue truly lives up to her name: glued to her position; however almost all the Pinoys dislike her. We should not really allow GMA to extend her term beyond 2010 through constitutional means.

There have been so many scandals and anomalies of the government including GMA and her tutas... plus GMA's husband, Mike Arroyo. Let me enumrate some of it for you (not in order):

The Broadlight bribery of governors and congressmen right inside Malacanang.

The NBN-ZTE Deal.

Fertilizer Fund Scam.

Hello Garci Scandal.

Extra-judicial killings.

Graft and Corruption.

ETC.

Idagdag ko na din dito yung sa rice crisis na isa ring pagpapatunay ng klase ng governance ni GMA. If she doesn't come clean out of this mess, tingnan lang natin kung saan pupulutin si ate glue. Yet another controversy of scandalous proportions is the brewing 5 billion peso pig scam, which the Bolante fertilizer scam pales in comparison. It boggles the mind!

I really insist that it should be not a day longer for a president who lies, cheats, and is above all graft and corruption in government, extrajudicial killings, and all irreguralities imaginable. What moral lesson do we, young pinoys, learn from a morally corrupt GMA? Hindi nahihiya si GMA sa ating mga pinoy, gusto ba natin na ito ay maging norm ng dapat ay ipagsalin-saling Philippine value system from this generation to the next, ad infinitum?

There are over 80 million Filipinos and definitely, there are a greater number who are very qualified for the position. It's not a matter of who is going to take over, it's all about an alternative that is as constitutional as succession. Noli may be perceived as a no-brainer, and i swear never have liking for him for all his intellectual deficiency, but then he sure is the only legitimate successor.

He is certainly an intellectual misfit but as I said, he is the constitutional successor. And if he proves not up to the job, then let's change him. Definitely, changing president is a painful process but that's the way a MATURING DEMOCRACY undergoes. NO PAIN, NO GAIN.

Alam niyo kasi, talagang ang legal approach ay malinaw na malinaw, and it's a choice we've got to make: there's the impeachment (although as usual it's a numbers game with the crocodiles in congress outnumbering the decent ones), snap elections (we've certainly don't lack of the likes of Chief Justice Puno et al. to be at the helm of a caretaker government until an honest election is held to elect a GMA successor; certainly I have doubts with the Comelec but hope springs eternal), there's resignation as an option now getting clearer by the day, People Power Revolt. These are options that we have to pursue as the youth who are poised to inherit whatever succeeding governments leave us.

Another thing... ang pinaplanong CHA CHA ni GMA ay huwag suportahan. Papaano magiging solusyon ang Charter Change kung ang tunay na objective ay for the extension of GMA's term? Yun ang evil desire ni GMA sa CHA CHA, ang pahabain pa ang kanyang term beyond 2010.

I stand flat on my views that all the controversies that hound GMA are of her own doing and that you could only infer that corruption, the shenanigans in her government, the lies, the deception, scam after scam all lead to the Malacanang door. I cringe at the thought of another 2 years of GMA. It gives me the shivers living a long 2-year moral bankruptcy that GMA is simply guilty of: bakit natin hahayaang maging isa tayong bansa at pamayanan na hindi kinahihiyaan ng dahil lamang sa isang uri ng katakawan, kawalang kahihiyaan, etc.?

I pray then that we are emancipated from the morally bankrupt GMA government.

Thank you for your time.

POSSIBLE EXPLANATIONS: Friendster's Bug

2008-11-15T18:57:00.000+08:00

Okay, as a soon-to-be Moderator of Friendster Forums, narito ang mga "maaaring" explanations regarding errors sa Friends niyo. Yung iba, nawalan ng more than 90% sa friend list nila, yung iba naman, nadagdagan.

First, nagkaroon ng tinatawag na Scheduled Maintenance ang Friendster. At ang maintenance na yun ay lubhang nakaapekto sa server. Sa 1 1/2 days na maintenance nito, pinilit pa din nilang i-online ang server nila kahit hindi pa ganoon ka-ayos... ang resulta: BUGS, ERRORS at GLITCHES.

Pangalawa, kaya nagkaroon ng maintenance, parang binabalak ng Friendster na tanggalin ang mga old groups, or maaaring halos lahat, at pagtuunan ng pansin ang Friendster Forums.

Pangatlo, dahil nagkaroon ng error sa scheduled maintenance, maaaring ang gawin nilang solusyon ay ang "ROLL BACK" mula sa kanilang previous data.

Pang-apat, okay na ang sa Friends niyo, from the home page ng Friendster (friendster.com), click niyo ang "Friends" niyo para makita lahat ito. Hindi pa lang nababago ng Friendster ang nasa home page nito.

Kung mayroon pa kayong mga tanong, you are all free to message me or leave a comment here.

Kasarapan ng pagiging Senador (sa Pilipinas)

2008-09-08T17:51:00.007+08:00

(This was just forwarded to me by mail. I find it interesting so I'm posting it. Kelangang magising tayo sa pagiging buwaya ng mga nasa posisyon!)

Miriam Defensor Santiago was featured in The Correspondents last week. Maganda rin naman ang naidudulot ng pagiging prangka (sira?) ni Senador Miriam. Ayon kay Santiago, marami ang tumatakbong Senador dahil sa laki ng budget na ibinibigay sa kanila kada buwan. Lumalabas na P35,000 suweldo nila kada buwan ay pakitang-tao lang sa milyun-milyong budget ng bawat senador.
Kada buwan ay may Fixed Monthly Budget ang bawat Senador ng humigit-kumulang P2 Milyon. Sa opisina pa lang nila ay humigit-kumulang P500,000 ang budget nila sa Maintenance and Operating Expenses (Rental, Utilities, Supplies at Domestic Travels) at P500,000 para sa Staff at Personal expenses. Kaya para makatipid ang ibang Senador, kaunti lang ang staff na kinukuha nila. Nagtataka ka pa kung bakit mayroong mga Ghost Employee? Bukod diyan, may P760,000 allowance pa sila kada buwan para naman sa Foreign Travel. At ang masakit pa nito, hindi na kailangan i-liquidate ang mga gastusing 'yan kundi Certification lang ang Requirement.

Heto pa, lahat sila ay Chairman ng mga Komite (Kumita?) sa Senado. Ang Committee Chairman ay tumatanggap din ng budget na sinlaki ng tinatanggap ng mga Senador na humigit-kumulang P1 Milyon din! Hindi sila mawawalan ng Komite dahil 24 lang ang ating mga Senador at 37 naman ang Committee sa Senado! There's food for everybody 'ika nga! Lumalabas na doble ang kanilang benepesiyo at kita kapag sila ay nabiyayaan ng Committee Chairmanship. Sa P200 milyon na Budget para sa Pork Barrel ng mga Senador bawat taon, awtomatikong may 10% na S.O.P. o kita ng Senador na P20 milyon. Ito ang porsiyento na ibinibigay ng mga kontratista sa mga Senador na nagbibigay sa kanila ng mga Infrastructure at Livelihood Project. Bago matapos ang termino ng isang Senador, kumita na siya ng P100 milyon sa Pork Barrel pa lang. Yung ibang Senador mas gahaman, hindi lang 10% kundi 20-30% ang komisyon hinihingi sa mga kontratista.
Pansinin niyo na lang ang pagbabago ng buhay ng ilan sa ating mga Senador simula nang manungkulan sa puwesto. Kung dati ay simple lang ang kanilang pamumuhay ngayon ay nakatira na sila sa mga eksklusibong subdivision, maraming bahay sa Pilipinas at abroad at mahigit lima ang sasakyan. Ngayon nagtataka ka pa ba kung bakit gumagastos ng daan-daang milyong piso ang mga Senador sa kampanya para sa isang posisyon na P35,000 lang ang suweldo kada buwan? Bawing-bawi pala ang gastos kapag naupo na!

ANG SARAP MAGING SENADOR!!!

PLEASE FORWARD TO AS MANY OF YOUR FRIENDS AND LET THE WHOLE COUNTRY KNOW THAT ELECTION IS MORE OF PUTTING AMBITIOUS PEOPLE IN POSITION WHO ARE GREEDY IN POWER, WEALTH & PRESTIGE THAN OF PUBLIC SERVICE...
ANG MASAKIT PA (TIYA DELY o KUYA CESAR) PERA NG BAYAN PA RIN ANG GAGAMITIN SA ELEKSYON MALUKLOK LANG ANG MGA BUWAYA SA PWESTO!!!

Ely Buendia - Now stable after reunion concert

2008-09-02T00:01:00.006+08:00

Doctors have said that band vocalist and Filipino music icon Ely Buendia on Sunday is in stable condition following the medical emergency that saw him being rushed to hospital Saturday night at the height of the reunion concert of his former band, the Eraserheads.In a message to

ABS-CBN News, record label Sony BMG said Buendia is now "stable" after suffering hypokalemia Saturday night, 15 songs into the band's one-night-only reunion concert at the Fort Bonifacio Open Field.

Hypokalemia is a medical condition in which the concentration of potassium in the blood is low. It is brought about by a variety of reasons, including effects from medications and diet patterns.

Buendia has been administered with a potassium intravenous fluid and is now recuperating at the Philippine Heart Center in Quezon City. Sony BMG said the administration of the IV hurt him a bit but was tolerable.

Day Cabuhat, manager of Buendia's current band Pupil, also told ABS-CBN News that he is already doing fine and is resting.

"Ely is doing fine, he is resting now. We just want to let the people know that his condition is stable but he's still under observation. We want to thank the fans and everyone for their concern, support and prayers," Cabuhat said.

Buendia experienced chest pains and reportedly collapsed backstage after the first set of the long-awaited reunion concert.

He was transferred to the Heart Center around 1 a.m. Sunday after being treated at the Makati Medical Center's emergency room.

The singer was brought out of the Makati hospital on a stretcher. Buendia's family has declined to comment on his condition.

Fans, friends, react

Meanwhile, Buendia's friend, filmmaker Joyce Bernal, denied that the singer suffered a heart attack. She said Buendia suffered chest pains due to the stress brought about by his mother's recent death and exhaustion due to the rehearsals for the concert.

Buendia's mother died of cardiac arrest early morning of August 28. She had been recovering from surgery done just days before to treat her intestinal cancer.

MTV Philippines head Francis Lumen, who co-produced the concert, said that Buendia is resting to recover from stress and exhaustion.

Buendia's family is requesting the media to refrain from interviews and shooting video of the singer.

Bandmembers and Buendia's sister informed the crowd about what happened to the singer, and announced at the concert that the Eraserheads' frontman "is in a lot of physical and emotional stress lately."

Despite his mother's death on August 28, the former Eraserheads vocalist decided to push through with the concert, anyway.

A witness at the Makati Medical Center emergency room earlier told abs-cbnNEWS.com that Buendia appeared unconscious and was taken to the critical care area late Saturday night.

The witness said several doctors rushed to Buendia and a minor commotion ensued. The witness also said that the news going around the ER was that the singer had a heart attack.

Health, concert problems

Buendia had a previous heart attack in January 2007. He underwent two angioplasty procedures (a surgical operation where narrowed or blocked arteries are widened) at the Philippine Heart Center after doctors found at least two blockages in his arteries.

Doctors said the singer has a history of heart disease in his family and was genetically predisposed to it.

The Eraserheads reunion concert became controversial after its first sponsor, cigarette-maker Philip Morris, was accused of violating Philippine laws prohibiting tobacco companies from sponsoring concerts and other promotional events.

When Philip Morris pulled out of the production due to legal concerns, it was Lumen who took over the sponsorship of the show.

Eraserheads member Raimund Marasigan said Buendia still pushed through in participating in their reunion concert even with the stress he had gone through lately.

Marasigan, along with fellow Eraserheads members Buddy Zabala and Marcus Adoro, are still hoping they would all get together onstage soon and perform as the Eraserheads one more time.

The Eraserheads, formed in the late 1980s, was the most successful Filipino band of the 1990s, and is widely credited for reviving the Filipino band scene.

Gabe Norwood - Top rookie in PBA Draft

2008-09-01T23:38:00.005+08:00

Rain or Shine (Formerly known as Welcoat Dragons), selected highly-touted Filipino-American Gabe Norwood as the no. 1 overall pick in Sunday's 2008 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Annual Rookie Draft at the Market! Market! Activity Center in Taguig City.

I remember Gabe Norwood played for our National Team during the FIBA Asia tournament in Japan last year.

"As far as I am concerned, I will surely help the team get wins. I'm excited, and the most that I can give for the team is my work ethic," Norwood said, minutes after joining the Welcoat franchise.

Damn. How I wish Norwood joining Sta. Lucia Realtors with Kelly Williams. If that would have happened, it would have been all exhibition dunks for Sta. Lucia. Hehehe.

Ely was rushed to Makati Med due to heart problem. His sister, together with Buddy, Marcus, Raymond and their promoter led the announcement and a 1-minute prayer for Ely's recovery.
