Life is getting harder in this country. The Government is selling properties to cover deficits.

Is the country getting strong...or getting weak?

What should be the best financal policy... to shave off expenditures to the essentials or to sell properties to cover deficits for government spending with questionable impact on the populace?

Is a list of Government properties available in the web? The people need to know.

From the time being. . . Let us pray: Dear God... have mercy on this beautiful country.

In the convenience and comfort of our unaffected homes, the predicament of our fellow Filipinos can either move us to do something to help or simply watch and wait until it is over.



Beyond what is shown in the televison, in the aftermath of Typhoon Ondoy, lives were claimed, families were ruined, dreams were shattered. As if it is still not enough, diseases are afflicting those who have suffered and are still suffering. Some children have died. Their woes and sadness are endless. . .






Let us all do something to ease their pain, their losses.

Let us help them start anew.

Filipinos are a resilient lot. Not because it is innate of us.

It is because, we Filipinos never leave a brother to fend for himself when all he has is himself.
LET US LET THEM FEEL WE CARE.

DONATE NOW!

In the Philippines, one will know that election is coming up when "Honorable" Officials of the land throw garbage at each other.

Why? Do we Filipinos elect candidates on the basis of who has the less dirt?

Forgive me, but this very disgusting.

Why don't they shut up and simply file the appropriate cases in the proper forum?

I have always believe that, when candidates have the best interest of the Filipino people in their hearts, they would NOT employ the evil ways of campaigning.

It fascinates me to see people not related by blood resembling each other. They seem to be made out of God's similar blueprint (",)

Top of the list is Mark Herras, looking like George Clooney's son.
Similarities: Entire Face



The classic beauty of Donita Rose took showbiz by storm, her looks reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn.
Similarities: Aura



When I watched the movie Elektra, Jennifer Garner reminded me of Iza Calzado.
Similarities: eyes and smiles

In an unexpected but utterly selfless act, Senator Mar Roxas gives up ambition to become President in favor of Senator Noynoy Aquino.

The speech given by Senator Roxas is laden with restrained emotions of regret for a lost ambition (for now), positive hope for a unified opposition contender, and strong vision for a country living its ideals at last!

The decision he made is not easy. It takes humility and strong confidence in oneself to toss up another for that one position he labored for, prepared for, and spent much for.

But, in losing his candidacy, Senator Mar Roxas carved, etched and paved the way for a new political culture - one that is bereft of shameless quest for power so evident in many of the candidates.

For this I say, Senator Mar Roxas firmly carved his place in Philippine history, a heroic act that does not require dying. But is no less heroic as it requires giving up almost everything he had lived and coveted for, for the Filipinos sake.

Mabuhay ka, Senator Mar Roxas!
