Social and political criticisms
Some people think that it is so today. Many have lost their sense of history (or have we forgotten our history lesson. The lesson we learned from history is that we do not learn? right)
Fewer and fewer people remember Rizal and for what he stood for. That is why it is all about me. We have forgotten to be heroes. Or even be great (What more to be spiritual)
Today, Rizal day, we lost our padlock at the gate. "Sinungkit ng mga gutom na kabataan o mga durog na walang magawa." The youth is the hope of the fatherland. Think again
"Where are the youth, where are the youth who will consecrate their golden hours?" asked Dr. Rizal
To which Andres Bonifacio answered. "......wala na nga, wala...."

Most undisciplined, most smoke belching jeepneys here?
Social and political criticisms
I noticed the following in the jeepneys plying this route: Cubao Angono, Tanay Cainta, Sta Lucia Binangonan:
l. Speed maniacs;
2. Drivers smoking (when they have big no smoking signs inside)
3. Load and unload passengers anywhere. The roads have been widened but they unload right in the middle.
4. And most of all, their jeepneys are just like squids, spewing black smoke and diesel fumes; when I got home from Cubao last Friday, my eyes were watery and I was coughing because the jeep I rode was belching white smoke.
There is no such thing in Calamba Batangas; even in Palawan. What is wrong here General? Prez?
Hey PNP dudes, DENR EMB monitoring, TMG, what are you doing?
LTO? LTFRB?

Juan Tamad Movie - a spoof on Congress and PHL Politics
Social and political criticisms
I just watched a Juan Tamad movie at PBO starring Jun Urbano (Mr. Shaoli) Eric Quizon (Juan Tamad) and Leo Martinez (Cong. Manhik Panaog)
l. Some funny titles: Tongress, Just Tiis (for Justice Department), Kinawatan (ramble of Kinatawan)
2. Real role of solons: influence peddling
3. Real cause of corruption: In an impassioned speech after he was lynched by folks of Lawang Lawa, Juan Tamad said he accepts being corrupt and a thief because the townspeople made him one. Paying political debts, "lagay " during election, continuous support to the electorate for weddings, fare for trip to the province, etc. All of the financial demands for personal support drives politicians to steal.
4. The real meaning of under the table is signing documents under the table.
The children in the movie calls on the adults watching the movie to give a happy ending to the political life in the PHL

Garbage recyclists get just P10.00 per kg of plastic trash
Social and political criticisms
I interviewed a garbage collector this morning and I ask him how much he gets for collecting plastic trash. He says he gets P10.00 per kg. I thought he gets more for that. He said it is better than getting nothing. He gets P5.00 per kg of metal.
On the other hand getting just 3 kgs will get the garbage collector a kg of rice. That will see him for the day. We admire this kind of people who see dignity in labor and who helps in the greening of our country.
So the next time you see guys rummaging your trash think again. Or you can collect the plastic for him/her in a separate plastic bag.

Children learn mendicancy early
Social and political criticisms
In coffee shops and in small restaurants I see a lot of children begging. As we join others in biking many children lined up the street ask for few pesos. I interview them and I ask if their parents are dead or alive. They say they are still alive. Why then do they beg?
Are we giving them wrong values if we give them money when they beg? Or are we just following the Christian values to help others who are in need?
What do you think?
Are TV programs handing out big doleouts good?
