From Tempo - Pansit and foodstuff, not money

A senator being charged before the Ombudsman and being linked to receiving money from her, from Janet Lim Napoles denied ever having received any money.  What was delivered at the Senate basement was foodstuff like pansit and empanadas, and not money (from Tempo)

The newspaper headline screamed yesterday this allegation from the good senator.

"Pansit, not money"

Are we still on the silver screen, showbiz, are we joking here?

Is US being turned into a country of dependents?

It is more fun criticizing

Is President Obama converting USA into a socialist nightmare? Is he turning Americans into a nation of dependents?   Has this ruined America from a superpower into a country of wimps?

The Americans we know before were admireable:  they were gutsy, hard working, pioneering, and  resourceful.  They did not depend on alms and grants.  They helped countries who were struggling.
 They were unlike the 40 million or so Americans who depend on foodstamps, who would rather live off on alms rather than breaking their bones to work.  Why?

Because the leadership encourages them to be so!!

Rice smuggling and rice importation is here to stay

It is more fun criticizing

Do not quote me on this.  But I was told that importing rice (the legal way, via NFA) is big money for those who give the permit.  Smuggling is when you import rice without passing through the NFA. I was told that it cost millions to get permit to import.

Thus the agencies involved in rice would always say there is shortage to resort to importation (we really do not know if there is a shortage, if there is is it a scenario build up so that some people would earn more?)

They would even engage the rice farmers to denounce smuggling so as to check the smugglers (those who do not pass through the proper channels to pay the correct tong.)  You know...

UN has accused Vatican of policy that allowed systematic abuse of children

From the Telegraph - UN demands that priests who abuse children be removed and turned over to the police   |  February 5, 2014

The United Nations has accused the Roman Catholic Church of adopting policies that allowed priest to systematically abuse thousands of children (both boys and girls.)  While the hierarchy of Roman Catholic church as promised to address this problem, many think that the Church response has been inadequate, hence the criticism.

The priest abuse of children were rarely reported prior to 1970;  more frequent reports were made since the 80s.

In 2013, the Vatican allowed a group to be questioned by UN, but did not provide data later re the abuses.

Isnt the church a hypocrite over the vows of chastity.  We know about most priests having lovers (men and women) but abusing children, as pedophiles is too much.

Can Pope Francis lessen this church black eye.? His predecessor, Pope Benedict was accused of cover up of a priest accused of child abuse.

Is this happening in the Philippines
