Are Aswangs True?

Social and political criticisms

I happenned to be seated next to a lady from Antique in a recent flight.  Out of the blue, I asked "Are aswangs true?"  And she answered "Yes"

She has not seen one, but there are plenty of experience in their home province, rumored to bailwicks of "aswangs".

Do you believe?

The practice of spiritista, faith healers prove the Bible is true?

Social and political criticisms

I had conversation last night with somebody conversant with faith healing and spiritista.  He said such practice in the PHL highly supports the truth of the Bible.

They derive their powers from the Bible, not just ordinary Bible but the Vulgate version.  He says that in this town, only three had access to the Vulgate Bible.  One of them is his father.

No more candidates; only Kandi - dati!

Social and political criticisms

"That government should be government of laws rather than of men" Thus runs one of the Jaycee creed.

However despite the constitutional provision on the contrary, a number of public officials have declared that there is nothing wrong with political dynasty:    the Cayetanos, the Angaras, etc. to name a few.  How about the Ynares of Rizal, the Tans of Samar, the Revillas of Cavite, the Ejercitos of Laguna, Dy of Isabela, the Binays.

Are we taking our laws, our constitution seriously.  Or poliloko tayo?

So no more candidates guys.

ONLY KANDI -DATI.

More comments on political dynasties

Social and political criticisms

Bobit Avila in his column Shooting Straight at Philstar has a mouthful to say on political dynasty.  He mentions the Egyptian and Chinese dynasties.  They did more harm than good.

In the Phils, the l987 constitution prohibits political dynasties according to Section 26 Article 2. Despite the lapse of  more than 20 years, no enabling legislation has been passed.  Most of the statesman we have have political dynasties and have openly declared that there is nothing wrong with such dynasties.  (V, A, E surnames)

One of the things that perpetuate political dynasties is the largesse that comes with the position.  He only mentions CDF for solons.  And this must be stopped.  If we want to stop political dynasties, then we must stop CDF (pork barrel).

Can we stop political dynasties?

How come our public officials flagarantly flaunt their disdain of constitutional provision?

Congresswoman sees nothing wrong with political dynasties

Social and political criticisms

From Philstar

In a speech during Cooperative Month celebration in Iloilo, a congresswoman, wife of a Senator sees nothing wrong with political dynasties.  It would seem normal for a professional as it is normal in other profession as being a lawyer, doctor etc.

The l987 constitution prohibits political dynasties:   Article 2, Section 26.  Earlier Sen Myriam Santiago and Rep. Casino bills to implement such anti dynasty prohibition of the constitution.

What do you think of the comment of the good congresswoman?

Is political dynasty good or bad for the country?
