Action Speaks Louder than BLOGS

Puno, who answered 37 out of 40 questions, got serious when questions about politics were thrown at him. First, he was asked who is the most corrupt politician for him. The Makati councilor answered vaguely, "Most corrupt is, of course, the one now in administration." Then, he added, "They say it's the First Gentleman [Mike Arroyo], I don't know if that's true." One of the DJs asked, "Sinong artista ang ayaw mong makita sa politics?" Rico answered without hesitation, "Si Richard [Gomez] nga ayoko. I hope he changes his mind." The singer further explained, "Kasi, first of all, he doesn't have the experience." He also added that Richard should have started running for administrative office, like the mayoralty post, before vying for the legislative office. "Making laws is different... You know, minsan mas makakasira doon sa iba na qualified kung tumakbo, kapag pinilit pa," said Rico J. Puno, however, c...

Comelec release an ultimatum order for Cesar Montano about his running for senate. He was ordered to strip down all his billboards in less than three days. But before that, I am not in favor for showbiz personalities running for public office. I mean, they already excel on their craft in acting and people look-up them as that but if they will serve for the people, I don’t think so. I have no doubt Cesar Montano is world-class actor and a very good director and I look-up him for that. But to join politics is a dirty game, specially in the Philippines, worst he joined the Team Unity which also has been receiving a failed remarks from the people. Maritoni Fernandez, a fellow TV and movie personality aired her opinions on celebrities running or joining in politics and said “I’m not so much for it because I think it takes a certain amount of background, a certain kind of education, and a certain kind of upbringing to become a good public servant, you know. And you have to have the heart fo...

ON SUBTLE RACISM! By Thelma Macas I had a clash with a colleague in our English Department when one of them made a lesson writing about Asia being not only POOR AND VIOLENT; but he made up a character of which he implied that the only way out of this poor lady was to marry an American. Maybe he has not heard and knew how many world-class workers we have in the medical, business and other fields of endeavor all over the world. I talked to him about how offended I was and he in turn had to ask an apology. But that was not the end of the story, the next day, I found my Holocaust Mini Gallery in the hallway was mutilated! Guess what, he came to me and told me he was the one who did it. He said one of the pictures we posted was not so good to post. It is one great example of ignorance as teachers, we are suppose to show the truth! There was even this big brouhaha about some group of people who wants to deny that the Holocaust was a big hoax! Again he apologized for acting irresponsibly by...

Most Politicians now are only a laughing matter of every street corner, restaurants, office and schools. Just watch some of the Political ads in TV’s and you can say that Politicians are looking down the Filipino people. Their political ads are tasteless just like their service to the Filipino people, which are also tasteless. Just like Pichay ’s famous line in his ads, “Itanim sa Senado” Hello!!! We don’t want the Senate to be a Kangkongan or Pechayan, we want it to be a clean senate. How about Defensors "walking ‘tol" and "standing ‘tol" ? We don’t want a brotherhood in the senate Mr. Defensor we want a Senator. Ang Gara ng Buhay sa Nine-point Agenda ni Ed Angara , kailan pa ba hihinto ang mga promises which mostly hindi natutupad, kailan pa ba gagara ang buhay ng mga Filipino kung kayo pa rin ang mamumuno ng Pilipinas? Kung Bad Ka, Lagot Ka! Si Joker Arroyo , Huwag mo nga kaming gawing Joker, kailan ba naging lagot mga Bad dito sa Pinas? I am sure this i...

It's that time of year again: relationship "make it or break it" time. If you want to make sure that you keep your girlfriend and not slip up, then perhaps you should examine the following suggestions of things you could do for your lovely lady on Valentine's Day. Number 10 Reenact your first date One of the most romantic things you can do is get nostalgic with your girlfriend. Women go gaga for guys who remember the details of the past, such as the restaurant you went to on your first date, what you ate and you did afterward. It will be like celebrating your anniversary and you can combine gifts with cards that mention how happy you are that you met her. Number 9 Partake in a physical activity No, not that kind of physical activity; I mean something that will get your heartbeat going, like ice skating or going for a hike in the woods and bringing wine to drink on the way. Such activities are perfect to boost an old and predictable relationship, and nothing wi...

The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) main office in Intramuros and the nearby Manila Hotel where an administration political convention was being held, were deluged with the candidates’ supporters including entertainment stars backed by brass bands. Huh! Philippine elections are now so showbiz, the candidates really proved the masses that the Traditional Politics was gone and Showbiz Politics is in. The crowd buildup began when Mega Star Sharon Cuneta Pangilinan accompanied her husband Sen. Francis Pangilinan followed by Sen. Ralph Recto, who was with his wife, Lipa Mayor Vilma Santos.

Despite an order barring them from leaving their workstations, COMELEC personnel went out of their offices to gaze at the movie personalitie...

While in the middle of writing and replying some emails, I received a memorandum from a newly promoted Shift leader about my being a latecomer. But why is it that only me and the other two got a memo? And what about the other latecomers next to me? Is it because I am the one who has most late? Whether you are late for only 10 minutes compared to an hour late is still late, so why not give the others a memo too? That made me thinks there is unequal treatment going on in this company. Anyway, they are deducting every minute on my late and that is additional profit to the company because even if I am late or not, the client still pays the company in full. That’s b$^$&t… I am doing my job satisfactorily for the client but they keep on worrying about my being late. There are some people in the office who come in an hour or two earlier for their shift but what are they doing here in the office? Playing, chatting, loitering and hanging around in the office without doing anything for the g...

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - Steve Jobs on Tuesday issued a challenge to the music industry, saying Apple Inc. would support an open online music marketplace if the four largest music companies would allow their music to be sold in digital form without anti-piracy protections. Jobs' proposal is controversial because record companies would have to drop their insistence on the use of digital-rights management software that blocks unauthorized downloads. But Jobs, outlining his stance in an essay posted on the Apple Web site, maintained that by doing so, the entire music industry would benefit. Jobs said the so-called DRM software hasn't "worked, and may never work, to halt music piracy," and said the music companies receive few benefits from selling 90% of their music on CDs, which don't have the software built in, and the balance online with DRM technology.
