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...

HOUSE BILL 5225 (VIOLATION KEPT HIDDEN)

Sometimes violation cannot be seen. We are restricted to label them as one because we are busy pushing ourselves to the waves of narrow-minded people. I fully remembered the day when I was walking alone inside a not so famous mall, scrubbing my shoulders to the full-length windows of different stores and making wishes that all of these clothes and shoes could be mine forever (fingers crossed!) while sipping my favorite nai cha (milk tea). After an hour of walking and wishing and sipping, I just suddenly felt a need for bathroom. I searched for one and when I am about to enter the comfort room (it is not for comfort, seriously), a guard or whatever you called it suddenly waved at me and said,  "Ma'am bayad po muna."  I felt the raged of blood inside my system and asked her,  "Ha? Bakit po may bayad? Diba po public toilet ito?"  And then she replied with uneasiness, "May bayad po five pesos, kung ayaw niyo po doon na lang kayo mag c-r...

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...
