GIVING BIRTH TO NEW LAWS
 Thinking of how many ways the government should fantasize for better policies give the people an unpredictable new society.
             In the time of President Marcos when Marshall Law and abusive authorities  were rampant, laws were given by few self-proclaimed “Makamasang Politiko”. It was not hard for them to implement such policies because  people on that time were like puppets played by their governmental ventriloquists.
But now, with enlightened men and women; who  are now able to distinguish the RIGHT ONE from PROMINENT ONE, it will become the   dilemma for the position of the government. They cannot create laws without objections and without villain.
             This is not like the old society wherein people chose Fernando Poe Jr. rather than Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Our country is not a stage nor an action field for some guy who just wanted to served without skills.
             With all the laws that had been passed, the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012 was most controversial that President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino had signed without handshakes and photographs. This law provides funds for contraceptives and hardens the knowledge about family planning. This also explains why the Catholic Bishop Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) are eager to settle the issue on public saying that the law destroys the sanctity of life and promotes abortion.
             This just it. A never ending issue about human and their heinous sins. But the fact is the church cannot provides the public the needed attention to overcome the augmenting cases of malnutrition for kids, overpopulation, as well as being ignorant to the true unstoppable realities of our country.
This is not all about  the bible.
             On the other hand, laws like Sin Tax and Cybercrime are just waste of time. We live in a democratic country wherein freedom to speak and stand for yourself are always legal. In layman’s term, “chismis” with sense and freewill.
             Let us not consider the government as the only institution which can help us to have better lives. Lawmakers are not our bosses. The true bosses here are ourselves. We should let be responsible for all the things that are happening in this country for we all live inside this one world that we are free to choose and live our own life — with or without laws.

Life Today /vol. 2/

What am I thinking just about right now? As a prologue to this self-proclaimed novel, let me first describe this wondrous night of 28th where November is just about to lose its glorious turn in this year of the sheep. Well, the noises were really evident with entertaining voices that were overlapping in a series of changing channels; the night has been splashing icey rains since the weather station announced to has been monitoring a possible typhoon; the smell of freshly brewed coffee that was left intact under my nostrils as I was drinking it earlier before I got home; the frenzied emotion I have feeling as I finally kiss my bed goodnight after that long and tiring battle for eternal city traffic. So imagine how it was entirely engaging (or probably not) to put my thoughts into a thousand repeated letters which I can call my blog. And yeah that was one hell of an introduction! As I am clinging with the literal scenarios of my daily life, I have come to unde...

KABATAAN, SA SAYAW NG PANAHON

This was my feature news written last November 28, 2014. It was officially aired in a radio station (A.M.).  Grateful.  By the way I am an Intern on that radio station and our boss told me to write something about the youth. Second week of December is Youth Week. Masikip. Mainit. Maingay. Tatlong bagay na ibinubulong ng mga miyembro ng League of the Filipino Students (LFS), Anakbayan at Kabataan Party-List habang sila'y hingal na tumatakbo sa kahabaan ng pamosong kalye Mendiola. League of the Filipino Students  Anakbayan Kabataan Party List Ngunit... Karapatan. Kalayaan. Kapayapaan. Ang tanging adhikain na isinisigaw nitong mulat na kabataan. Nang pasimulaanan ang linggo ng kabataan, ay unti-unti silang naipakilala bilang epektibong sektor ng lipunan. Bagama't hilaw pa ang kaisipan, nagmistulang isang malaking alon ang ideolohiyang kanilang ipinaglalaban. Piping saksi dito ang mga karatulang tangan bilang armas ng pagbabago....

Saving Santa

I wasn't able to post this during holiday seasons. Anyways, here it is.      Is Santa will finally come to town?      "You better watch out. You better not cry. You better not pout. I'm telling you why..." Most probably you had sung it with joyous laughter and nostalgic smiles thinking that Christmas has already giving massive excitement to everyone most especially when you have thought of spending it with the ones you truly loved. But not everyone has given this kind of opportunity. More often than not, Filipinos (including you) value practicality up to the point when you are ready to exchange series of most celebrated holidays to years of servitude away from your families. But moments later you have trouble remembering when the last live hugs and kisses you had with them were, considering that your mind has only been seeing portraits and virtual images of them for the longest period of time. Others call this a long-distance relation...
