Flash flood in Spain, scores killed; mirroring PHL former colony experience

It is more fun criticizing Valencia was worst hit

VP Duterte, trapped into a corner says these in frustration

It is more fun criticizing

VP Duterte, being checkmated into a corner calls for a press conference, and says these awful things under duress.  How unwise of her to call for desecration of the olds remains to be thrown at WPS.  

But one can say that having felt betrayal.  They went into a Uniteam for a winning team, for PBBM to win at Visayas and Mindanao and VPD to win in Luzon.  The latter to be given immunity for ICC on EJK.  But now her budget has been cut and FPRD will be  thrown to ICC after all.

But OVP has to explain her use of funds in OVP and at DepEd properly to the public.  They did not look nice.   Even her Usec Densing at Dep Ed looked ugly for the school building program (Densing was a colleague professor at a GSB and was surprised at Pimentels accussation, given that they are both from Mindanao.  I hope these are false)

Heroism is not for dead heroes only

It is more fun criticizing

Rizal  Philippines  |  August 26, 2014



Yesterday we celebrated the National Heroes Day. It was to be noted for dead heroes.  The late renegade Gen Patton of WW II, one of the winningest general in Europe once said - "It is foolish to die fighting for your country;  you have to kill the damn bastards."  Or that we must honor more the man who lived and came back.

Should we honor more the dead heroes?  Isnt it a lost cause?  Or we should honor those who are alive and who patiently fight the day to day battles.

Or yesterday's heroes, but today's villains?  Our ideas and concepts of heroes change overnight.  Popularity and plurality counts as to who will be heroes.

Take for example Gen J Palparan.  He was considered a hero during GMA time in counter insurgency campaign.  Now he is a criminal.

We should focus more on living heroes. Men and women, teachers, laborers who faithfullly do their jobs to get this nation moving forward.  The dead heroes should not die in vain in the dead of the night, but inspire us to work together as a nation, to be better and more properous

Typhoon Ravaged Areas becomes no mans land - lack of food and supplies hits stricken areas

Social and political criticisms

From Herald Sun | November 12, 2013

From RT Death and Looting in PHL typhoon ravaged area

 

The typhoon ravaged areas have become no mans land:   still held incommunicado to the outside world because of communication failure, help and supplies are not arriving because of lack of vehicles and fuel People scavenge for food and water.  (Thus they help themselves to whatever they can find looting?)  Smell of death pervades the air as the dead are mixed with debris and no one yet bothers to pick up the dead and bury them

Residents complain that they may have survived the typhoon but may die because of hunger and thirst.  The typhoon blew everything away and aid is not coming yet or is slow in coming
