Amaya Finale: Disappointing

Figuratively speaking, Amaya ended with an explanatory note, instead of with a punchline.

Heartbreaking.

The cameo role of Dingdong Dantes was a joke. And the historical overview was not necessary.

That moment when Bagani knelt down before Amaya to ask for her hand in marriage should have been the finale. With Amaya finally saying yes... and a lingering kiss afterwards....rotating aerial view of them both, perfect!

Sometimes, it helps to just leave it to the audience to figure out what happens afterwards.

They'll be asking for closure of this and that... which opens the possibility of a sequel.

On Sex Videos

Is one scandal not enough?

From Katrina Halili, to Rhian Ramos, and now Janelle Manahan.

Why do people upload it for worldwide access? Can't people restrain themselves from prying into other people's privacy?

Why should lovemaking be recorded in the first place? If they did it for fun (young people nowadays have a peculiar way of having fun), can't they have the good sense to delete immediately after "reviewing" their acts? Memories like these are better stored in one's memory. None have been invented yet to transfer brain data to your laptops etc.

For God's sake, let's put a halt to the degeneration of humanity.

CJ Corona Impeachment

Random thoughts on the current issue:

1. Let the truth unfold.
2. Let those who have violated the law, face punishment.
3. Let justice be served.
4. Whose authority is supreme? Is that of the President of the Republic of the Philippines, which emanates from the millions of Filipino people or that of the authority of Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona which have been conferred through appointment by the President of the Republic of the Philippines?
5. Is the integrity of the Chief Justice, the integrity of the Supreme Court?
6. Is the attack on the person of the Chief Justice, an attack on the Supreme Court?
7. Will these events pose a constitutional crisis?
8. Don't the Filipino people deserve a government which is just and upright, strong but democratic, transparent and accountable?
9. Elective officials who have been found to have cheated their way to office should be compelled to indemnify the voting public and the duly elected official. No way should it be forgotten and hidden in the intricate dynamics of the law.
10. Filipino people, speak up for this country.
