It takes a calamity for our modern pinoy heroes to come out

Thank you to all modern pinoy heroes who sacrificed their lives in order to save the lives of our fellow countrymen who were victims of the recent flood brought about by 2 weeks of continuous monsoon rain. Thank you too to all who shared whatever they can help to the victims. Mabuhay kayo mga modern pinoy heroes.

Let us now unite and mobilize to protect our country from foreign invaders.

It is now high time for us Pinoys all over the world to unite and do something to protect our country, its territory against foreign invaders. Let us pray that our present administration will stop going after its political enemies for the meantime and instead focus all our resources to fight the real enemies that is now trying to get what is ours.

We may have no capability to fight head on against our giant enemy but we can fight in some other ways that eventually can cripple their economy. As example, we can start by boycotting their products. If you know whatever small things or ways how to fight them please share so our modern pinoy heroes can read and adopt. Let us show them that even though we are small compared to our enemies, we are ready to fight and die for our country.

United we stand, divided we fall

Do you agree or disagree that if we Pinoys will unite, we will win and divided we fall?

I pray that our present administration will be guided with wisdom and to adopt a direction for unity instead of dividing our people. I believe that if we are united we will attain our goal to move on for progress beneficial to all Filipinos.

Persecuting PGMA on electoral fraud is good or bad for our country?

GOOD OR BAD? YOU DECIDE

It is time for all of us Pinoys all over the world to be aware of what is really happening in our country. We, the common people must act now in our own little way to help whatever we can to improve the image of our 1 and only Philippines.

We must combat all the negative works being done by our authorities. It is still politics at its highest and their direction is supposed to get rid of corruption but it is turning to be uncertain.

As seen on TV, in the papers, and heard in the radios, Government is now going all out to prove that our former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is guilty of electoral fraud. This is where my questions arise.

Assuming the government of PNOY is successful to prove that PGMA was guilty of electoral fraud, does it invalidate her as the duly elected president then? If that is the case, a big question arises. Does that mean that all the contracts she has signed were invalid?  

Perhaps because if she is declared a phony President, then all the contracts are not valid since it was signed by a phony President.

Where do we go then? Good thing is that corruption will be exposed and we would know who were corrupt and they will be penalized accordingly. However, I can also see CHAOS as the final answer. Can you imagine what will happen if all the contracts PGMA has signed in 9 years of her presidency is declared invalid. CHAOS, CHAOS, CHAOS…..  Is this what the government of PNOY wants? Is this what they think is good for the Filipino people? What will the other countries think of us now? Will they still do business with us?

I hope there will be lawyers who can read this article and share his/her thoughts so as to enlighten us about this issue.

We have the choice. To do good or bad. Let's choose good and be happy

We have the choice and it is entirely up to us whether to feel good or bad. I chose to feel good.

If we can help someone in need, we will feel good as we have helped someone. In the same analogy, if we help our country, eventually we will also feel good because we have accomplished something.

This something can be anything. From an idea how to improve whatever it is, you can share that simple idea instead of criticizing someone else idea. Share that solution and you will definitely feel good because you have already helped our country.

7 Modern Pinoys honored in this year Philippines Independence Day

The following 7 people made it in this year celebration of Philippines Independence Day  to be honored as seven Filipinos who have made a remarkable difference. Here they are in alphabetical order:

1. Alexis Belonio. This engineer figured out an out-of-the-box way to make use of rice husks. He created a cooking stove designed to help poor people have access to hot meals.
Belonio invented a environment-friendly rice-husk stove which has a fan in its base. It provides air used in the conversion of rice hulls into gas—helping poor families cook without needing expensive fuel.
Belonio could have gotten a patent for his invention and gain millions from it; yet he left it patent-free so the technology would be free for everyone to use. His efforts have already been recognized abroad but shouldn't we appreciate him first?
2. Jean Enriquez. If you want to see female power at work, you'd have to meet this woman.
Despite the danger of drawing the ire of huge human trafficking syndicates, Enriquez continues to fight for the welfare of Pinays. Her steadfast efforts to empower Filipino women is admirable.
She heads the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women-Asia Pacific, which vigorously fights sex tourism, the mail-order bride trade, pornography, and sexual exploitation.
Enriquez also holds education camps among young women to ensure that they are not vulnerable to abuse. She also oversees the healing process of survivors and makes sure they get a second shot at having a decent life.
3. Jay Jaboneta. All it took him was one Facebook status message to change the lives of dozens of children in a far-flung village in Zamboanga.
When Jaboneta learned that 200 children in Layag-layag village had to swim to get to school everyday (painstakingly making sure that their books, if there was any, wouldn't get wet), he knew had to do something.
Through a Facebook status message, Jaboneta was able to raise funds—as much as P70,000—on the first week of his call for donations.
A Facebook group "Zamboanga Funds for Little Kids" was later established, expanding his advocacy's reach.
Now, the kids of Layag-layag go to school in their bright new yellow boats, each aptly dubbed as "New Hope."
4. Tomas Leonor. For Leonor, initiating change literally begins with a single step.
To raise funds for cancer-stricken children at the Philippine Children's Medical Center, Leonor organized 'StepJuan' and volunteered to travel sans any motored transportation.
Leonor's belief that cancer must not kill the hopes and dreams of children motivated him to walk hundreds of kilometers.
His walking expedition started on April 4, 11 at Allen, Samar.  To date, StepJuan's Leonor has walked a total of 1,241.5 kilometers and taken 2,887,208 steps in seven islands, ten provinces, 86 municipalities, and 20 cities.
5. Heidi Mendoza. She made headlines and risked her life to expose supposed corruption in the military, allegedly led by ex-Armed Forces of the Philippines comptroller Carlos Garcia.
Mendoza braved Senate hearings and bared details of suspicious military transactions, strengthening the multimillion plunder case against the former general.
In all likelihood, she could've chosen a simple, quiet life but she decided to take the road less traveled for the sake of the country.
She has recently been appointed by President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino as commissioner of the Commission on Audit and we have high hopes that this would pave the way to clean and honest governance.
6. Anna Oposa. A lot of people claim to care for the environment but how many actually go out of their way and really work beyond lip service?
Oposa, director of the Law of Nature Foundation, has proven her love for Mother Earth by vigorously working on protecting marine life.
She also initiated "Save the Philippine Seas," spurred by recent reports of massive coral reef destruction in several parts of the country. Her initiatives made quite a huge social network ripple and united Filipinos through a national blog day to save the Philippine seas.
She is also lobbying to strengthen laws for environment protection, a long-term goal that we hope would live on far beyond our grandchildren's life spans.
7. Tzarina Saniel.In the age of e-books, tablet apps, and the internet, one would easily prefer going online instead of going to the library. But for Saniel, nothing beats a real book—the feel of the old manuscript, the smell of the paper and the idea that it has cultivated the minds of many.
Bibliophile Saniel has collected and preserved old Filipino books, even original manuscripts from Jose Rizal.
Because of her inspiring advocacy, she is definitely noteworthy for keeping Pinoy literature alive.

Pacquiao-Mosley fight May 7, 2011

Our boxing hero Manny Pacquiao will stake one of his title on May 7, 2011 (May 8 in Manila) against former champion Sugar Shane Mosley. Our hero is heavy favorite but Mosley is a tough one and to me the most dangerous foe Pacquiao will face. We are behind you Manny. Mabuhay Ka!
