“ingat ka lagi”, “palaging mag-pray”, ito ang mga katagang paulit-ulit nating naririnig sa bawat pagyapak ng ating mga paa at kung saan man tayo dalhin ng ating mga yapak. KAPALARAN ang laging patutunguhan ng mga yapak na ito, hindi makapagsalita … Continue reading

MLM is the direct descendent of classic, no-product pyramid schemes. With expansive pay plans and an endless chain of recruitment, MLM assumes both infinite and virgin markets – neither of which exist. MLM is therefore inherently flawed, uneconomic and fraudulent. … Continue reading

Roh Mih Usual naman ang turncoatism sa ating pulitika. Ang tanong ko lang, madali rin ba, at bakit o paano magiging madali, na magtiwala ang isang lider sa balimbing na adivser o sino mang balimbing na llumipat sa kanyang kampo? … Continue reading
Dekada 70 ay isang mapait na bahagi ng ating kasaysayan na patuloy na gumuguhit sa ating mga isipan at patuloy na nananalatay sa mga ugat ng bawat indibidwal na nakaranas nito, ngunit ang kalupitan ng pasistang militar ay hindi pa natatapos hanggang sa mga panahong ito. Marami pa rin ang mga nawawala na mga progresibong mamamayan at pinapatay ng walang kadahilanan.
Marso 19, 2006 muling ipinakita ng mga pasistang militar ang bangis ng kanilang ngipin sa ilalim ng berdugong administrasyon ni GMA, isang 20 anyos na mag-aaral ang pinatay na walang kalaban-laban, bahagi ng programa ng pamahalaan na ligpitin ang mga pinaghihinalaang miyembro ng kaliwang grupo, si Cris Hugo ay isang simpleng ISKOLAR ng BAYAN na ang hangad lamang ay isang pagbabago sa ilalim ng sosyalismong perspektiba ng sambayanan, maayos na nag-aaral at gawain ang magbahagi ng mga isyu pulitikal, ekonomiya at iba pa na sumasalamin sa sitwasyon ng bawat Pilipino. Ang pagpatay kay Cris ay isang simbolo ng kawalan respeto sa karapatan ng bawat isa na magpahayag ng kanyang saloobin.
Apat na taon na ang nakakaraan HUSTISYA pa rin ang sigaw mga kabataan sa pagpatay kay Cris, sa klase ng administrasyon ng ating bansa malinaw na ang isang simple at inosenteng mamayan na katulad ni Cris Hugo ay kailanman hindi makakamit ang inaasam na HUSTISYA. Sino pa ang magbibigay proteksyon sa mga progresibong ISKOLAR ng BAYAN?? Anong kinabukasan meron para sa mga kabataan sa ilalim ng isang mala-diktadoryang administrasyon?? Administrasyon na ang sandigan ay armas at bangis ng mga berdugong militar??
Pakatandaan ni GMA sampu ng kanyang mga TUTA at SIPSIP na mga alagad na habang KUMAKALAM ang sikmura ng sambayanan, habang patuloy na naghihinagpis sa sobrang KAHIRAPAN at kawalan ng HUSTISYA patuloy na NANGANGALIT at hindi titigil ang SILAKBO ng DUGO ng sambayanan hanggang hindi nakakamit ang isang pamayanan na TAO ang magdidikta ng pamamalakad sa pamahalaan.
Ang KAMATAYAN ni CRIS HUGO ay hindi nangangahulugan ng KAMATAYAN ng aming pagiging kritikal at progresibong kabataan ng aming panahon, patuloy naming ipaglalaban ang aming mga KARAPATAN at hindi papayag na YURAK-YURAKAN na lang ninuman, HUSTISYA ang aming sigaw dahil ito ay bahagi ng aming mga KARAPATAN…walang sinuman ang maaaring humarang sa aming mga PAGKILOS at ipagpapatuloy ng bawat KABATAANG PINOY ang isang PROGRESIBONG PAKIKIBAKA.
Saan ka man ngayon Cris, hindi ka namin makakalimutan at narito kami upang isulong ang iyong sinimulang laban at makamit ang HUSTISYA para sayo.
HUSTISYA PARA KAY CRIS HUGO, AMBO at iba pang mga progresibo na biktima ng EXTRA JUDICIAL KILLINGS!!!

“Get into the habit of admitting your sins to one another; so that you can pray for one another so that you may be healed.”1
Em Griffin, in his book, The Mind Changers, says about today’s Scripture: “This is the most ignored bit of advice I know of in Scripture, probably because we’re afraid that people won’t like us or trust us when they see how crummy we really are. But the reverse is true. They’ve got the same sin problem. As we openly reveal our innermost struggles, the plastic masks we wear begin to slip. Human warmth escapes and people begin to respond in trust.”
As Richard Halverson, former chaplain of the U.S. Senate, said, “Only sinners can relate.
“Sinners enjoy authentic fellowship. Saints don’t!
“People who pose as saints aren’t liberated to remove their masks.
“Under pressure to project conventional piety, they are unable to open up and share themselves.
“Upholding the traditional religious image, they remain invulnerable in human relationships because they dare not expose their real selves.
“They major in propositions rather than persons . . . share their victories but never their failures . . . congratulate one another in their little mutual admiration society.
“Meeting head to head instead of heart to heart, protecting themselves against discovery, they ricochet against each other like marbles.
“The authentic saint is oblivious to his sainthood, deeply aware of his unworthiness, sensitive to his failure, confesses he is a sinner, which makes possible true fellowship.
“Sinners acknowledge their inadequacy, lean heavy on God’s grace, and identify quickly with need in others.
“Recognizing all men are sinners, unwilling to hide from the truth, they share their weaknesses, confess their sin to one another, and do not fear vulnerability.
“They come together like crushed grapes, crushed and fragrant, dependent upon each other and God.”
Suggested prayer: “Dear God, help me to be open and honest with at least one trusted friend with whom I feel safe to confess my, faults and failures, so that I can experience true connection and fellowship, and be healed as your Word promises. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus’ name, amen.”

While walking down the street one day a Corrupt Philippine Senator was tragically hit by a car and died.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
“Welcome to heaven,” says St. Peter. “Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we’re not sure what to do with you.”
“No problem, just let me in,” says the Senator.
“Well, I’d like to, but I have orders from the higher ups. What we’ll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.”
“Really?, I’ve made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,” says the Senator.
“I’m sorry, but we have our rules.”
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.
The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.
Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the Filipino people.
They played a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and the finest champagne.
Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who is having a good time dancing and telling jokes.
They are all having such a good time that before the Senator realizes it, it is time to go.
Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises…
The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens in heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him, “Now it’s time to visit heaven.”
So, 24 hours passed with the Senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.
“Well, then, you’ve spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.”
The Senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: “Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.”
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.
Now the doors of the elevator open and he’s in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.
The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulders.
“I don’t understand,” stammers the Senator. “Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there’s just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?”
The devil smiles at him and says,
“Yesterday we were campaigning …Today, you voted.”
“REMEMBER TO VOTE WISELY!”
