I am sure all of us Filipinos wished that Manny wins the fight, but it's not just winning (not this kind of controversial winning), but rather a convincing one --- living up to the press releases and media hyped they did. With what happened, I hope others and even Manny's camp would not react violently on the reservation of the people including me and other Filipinos. We are not spitting in our own face. We love Manny, but the truth is, we all witnessed that he did not win convincingly as he professed. What is success and victory shrouded with doubt and controversy? It's nothing. We the disappointed fans just felt that Manny fell too short on the standard he setforth prior his fight. Because we believe and we know that Manny can do more than that!
Manny ought to dispute the doubt in the minds of the people, even us Filipinos. It was not a convincing win that we expected from him since he kept telling that he will knock Marquez down. Manny looked distracted and it seems the instruction of Roach didn't sink into his mind. Of course, the Epal Buboy Fernandez was trying to give instruction too by sticking his face close to you so that when the camera pans, he will be seen.
Next time, I suggest that Manny listen only to Roach, because too many cooks spoiled the broth. And it almost spoiled out the broth in you. Another fight will be a good idea. But Marquez is also a good fighter and he earned the respect of Manny. Knock him out Manny next time.
By the way, don't bring along Jinky in the fight ---- she's a JINX. Your lucky charm is Nanay Dionisia whose pure her and simplicity still there despite your success and popularity! Nanay Dionisia prays that you win and will not be hurt, while Jinxky pray that you win so she will have a lot of money. Look at her, she just displayed her new disgusting look, modeling for Belo.
I suggest, focus on your boxing career before you lose the blessings in gives you. I remember in The Immutable Laws of Marketing on Focus. You need to reduce the scope of your operations and focus. Protect your word and continue to brand and focus on the law of the mind. Focus on a single, powerful word if possible.
Manny, you are the Pound for Pound King and the only boxer who has handled and currently handles 8 categories. Aren't you happy with that? Leave politics, showbiz and other activities that will destroy your"brand equity". Take the warning and be alarmed in your previous fight with Marquez.
Filipinos will be very sad to see you fall flat on your face if you continue your own whims and caprices to be the the Jack of All Trades attitude. Protect your turf and boxing career. After you retire, you can then proceed to your political ambition, showbiz career and SD (sperm donor) to the girls that your eyes desire.
No drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.

Muslim feast pay sought
Muslim feast pay sought
Hmmmm may pagka-abuso naman talaga itong Pangandaman na ito. Muslims have so many privileges that are overboard. I suggest, ayusin nyo muna ang kaguluhang hinahasik ng iba nyong mga kabaro at pati yung mga kaguluhang hinasik ng angkan ng Pangandaman. At kapag nagkaroon ng katahimikan uunlad ang bansa at magkakaroon na ng bonus. May mga Christmas bonus naman ang mga empleyado at 13th month pay bakit kailangan pa ng special bonus. Kung may ganyan, dapat galing sa mga mambabatas.
These Musims have so many privileges (and demands) which are sometimes unreasonable and excessive. I remember what my Italian military friend told me. There was a Muslim who was brought to the hospital for free medication because he was dying. When he got healed, he demanded the hospital to remove the cross in the hospital. When the hospital refused, he sued the hospital for discrimination. What a crazy, selfish and bigot guy.
Now with this proposal, what will happen? Other religions will demand also. Remember, what is the sauce for the goose should also be for the gander.

President Aquino’s X’mas wish: No more pointless criticism
President Aquino’s X’mas wish: No more pointless criticism
PNoy should have realized that when he ascent to the office of presidency, criticisms would be part and parcel of his life and position regardless whether the criticisms are pointless or valid. Needless to say, there'll even be a thin line that draws between his personality and his position. This is a sad and harsh reality that he ought to contend with.
The post that he holds now will always be subject to criticisms, thus, he must be very mindful of what he says and does. Truly, being a president is a damn if you do and damn if you don't case. No one is exempted from that even the past, present and future president dealt, deals and will deal with criticisms.
My piece of unsolicited of advice is, don't waste your time minding these criticisms. Let your handlers take them, lest you will waste your energy deflecting criticisms and defending yourself. By doing that, you will be unfair to those who brought you up to the throne. However, you might also want to consider this ultimate piece of advice, which the saying goes: "If you cannot stand the heat of the oven, get out of the kitchen. The choice is yours to make.

Ang PALENGKERANG CONGRESSWOMAN --- BITCH!!!
I'm shocked and angered by the arrogance of Mitos Magsaysay. This one lucky bitch and soon a QUEEN OF TALAK & PALENGKE don't deserve to be in the House, in the dog house maybe. But for sure, dogs will be scared with this "retokadang congresswoman". Look at her nose --- it looks like a FAKE! Maybe she used her pork barrel to fix her ejaculating nose. No wonder her mouth froths like a poisoned wild female dog and this is manifested on how she berated Ricky Carandang.
Hahaha. Bitch indeed. It also shows that this bitch has been faking her relationships to the media. Perhaps, she only likes the media people who suck her dirty brown sagging boobs.
Personally, I don't think she deserves to be a Congresswoman representing her district. Her behavior is unparliamentary, disgusting and barbaric. I wonder if she is really a woman or a man in the body of a woman. She quacks like an itching duck and mad as a wet hen. Why can't she hold her temper? Her reaction when faced with Ricky Carandang was like a queen who was vexed because a citizen was bold enough to ask her royal highness. Before you know it, she is asking for the head of Ricky. I think this bitch must be confined in her cage so she can stay indoors and refrain from being a clear and present danger on the street.
Anak ng POTAH ka Mitos, Pocahontas na Pocahontas (POKPOK na POKPOK). Kung magsalita akala mo Diosa at malinis na malinis. Ricky Carandang is a very simple and cool guy. I wonder why she treats Ricky like a rug. This bitch should not be in the House. She is sick!!! If this is the kind of lawmakers people elect, I will not wonder if our country goes to the dogs.

'Are We Really Worth Dying For?'
As we commemorate the death of Ninoy Aquino, I can’t help but to look back and make my own reflection. The gruesome event turned into a blessing in disguise --- toppling the (conjugal) dictatorship for almost 3 decades! But the question that keeps bugging my malicious mind is this: "Is Ninoy's sacrifice for us really worth it?"
Some many unexpected turn of events took place, thus making this more complicated and incomprehensible. The family of the ousted dictator is back in the helm and mutiplying like bacteria, expanding their influence again across the solid north.There is a rumor that Bongbong Marcos plans to try his luck on 2016 Presidential election. Flamma fumo est proxima. Flame follows smoke or If there's smoke, there's fire. While those who fought the dictator claiming as human rights and freedom fighters turned into nuts and coconut in the Coconut Palace like Joker Arroyo, Rene Saguisag, Jojo Binay to name a few. There are lots of them actually, some have already lost their integrity because of their greed for power and became turncoats. They said, even the communists who claim to fight capitalism and advocates social equality, once they tasted power, they themselves become drunk with it and wanting for more. Just look around and you will see my point.
Looking back and looking also at the present political landscape in the Philippines, my question still remains, "Quo vadis Pilipinas?" With all these quagmires that beset our country due to brazen corruption, power tripping, lies and deceptions, incompetencies and utang na loob and many more negative traits that have permeated in every political being, are we really worth dying for? When will we ever learn?
I remember what the great Albert Einstein said and I quote: "Insanity is doing the same thing all over again, and expecting different result."
At this point in time, the only thing I could really do is to hope and pray that the future of our country will be brighter as what the present administration envisions to take the M.Scott Peck's "The Road Less Travelled". For them to achieve that "Narrow Road that Leads to Straight Path", they ought to be aware that their actions must not be incongruous with their proclamations. Otherwise, the great Arnold Toynbee will laugh at us rolling and say, "I TOLD YOU SO." Because he said, "Anyone who has not learned from the past is doomed to commit the same mistake."
Yes, I still and will always believe that Filipinos are really worth dying for. But we must transcend this statement. We must do something that is consistent to our vision and mission of a better Philippines. If not, every drop of blood that will be shed will be wasted --- because the blood that being sucked by the social leeches can never be converted into "dinuguan". It's something we can't feed to the millions of hungry and homeless Filipinos.

Enough of Propaganda, PAGCOR
When Crisanto “Bong” Naguiat was appointed as Chairman of PAGCOR, a lot of his fellow X-men (Ex-Seminarians) rejoiced, because they believed that Bong was a good choice. Even the members of PAX (Philippine Alliance of X-Seminarians) shared the same sentiment. However, it looks like Bong fell on two traps, the Peter Principle and the Sadducees Principle.
I remember in my graduate school, we discussed this topic about Peter Principle in one of our subjects in Human Resources Management. It is about a person who was promoted to a higher position but cannot handle the obligations to perform fully the position he holds. While the Sadducees Principle is the tendency to be "holy cow" or "holier than thou".
For the record, I am not here to discredit Bong Naguiat. I hope he would realize that. I respect him, being the (appointed) Chairman of PAGCOR by Pnoy. BUT HE MUST ALSO REALIZE THAT IT DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF MY EXISTENCE (as taxpayer and citizen of the Philippines ) IF I JUST CLOSE MY EYES AND AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT HE SAYS OR DOES. THIS IS NOT ABOUT PERSONALITIES. THIS IS ABOUT PRINCIPLES!
While I believe in the sincerity of PNoy in eradicating corruption, people like Bong Naguiat doesn't deserve to be in PAGCOR. Ang PAGCOR ngayon ay PARLOR na. Thanks sa kabadingan ni BOY ABUNDA who lobbied for his BOYFRIEND BONG QUINTANA. Boy made it appear that BONG QUINTANA has been an organic member of PAGCOR. No. BONG QUINTANA is not an employee of PAGCOR, maybe of PARLOR. He is from WANDERS supplier of PAGCOR. It's about time that he should be axed --- now that the truth is already known. NOW NA! Yan ang tunay na diwa ng tuwid na daan.
Going back to Bong Naguiat, he lacks competency and also the morality to assume the highest position in PAGCOR.
As for competency, he does not know what to do with the problems at PAGCOR. Imagine, he allowed someone like BONG QUINTANA to be hired in PAGCOR without even validating the facts and circumstances about BONG QUINTANA. Then he even bragged to Anthony Taberna that he is not using the chair/seat in his office owned by former Chairman Genuino. If you are not using it, take it out of your room. Puro ka kaplastikan, Bong.
Do you know that in the Pamaskong Handog ng PAGCOR 2010 (PAGCOR's gift giving), the organizations of Bong Naguiat's parents were the ones who benefitted from this project. I challenge Bong Naguait to prove otherwise in the presence of media. This makes him a Sadducee, a worst form at that. He does not have moral ascendancy to lead PAGCOR.
Now, here is my big question, what happened to the dealings of current PAGCOR administration with the Koreans on the operations of online gaming in Ortigas area? Gaano ka-sincere si Bong Naguiat sa pagpapatakbo ng maayos ang PAGCOR kung siya mismo ay maraming hiwaga at kabalbalan na ginagawa sa PAGCOR.
Do you really want to walk in the straight path? KEEP THIS IN MIND:
We cannot dream with our eyes closed and walk in the straight path, if our actions betray our words or propaganda. In real life, we have to dream with our eyes wide open so we can see where we are heading to. Otherwise, we may be walking to the road that leads to damnation and not to salvation.
Please stop the propaganda about PAGCOR! WALK YOUR TALK!

ANG TUWID NA DAAN --- BOW!!!
Ano ba ang TUWID NA DAAN? Yun ba yung puro political appointees ang mga namumuno sa mga ahensya ng pamahalaan? Yung puro "Co-Terminus" na lang lahat? Paano yung mga career officers? Nakatunganga forever? Di sila mga politiko. Dapat silang bigyan ng maayos na kinabukasan at posisyon? Hindi yung sasakupin sila ng mga walang alam dahil kadikit ito ni Presidente Churva at ni Speaker Chacka.
Papaanong uusad ang bansa kung ang namumuno ay may hidwaan? Ang pagkakarron ng paksyon na "Balay" at "Samar" sa administrasyong ito ay taliwas sa tunay na adhikain ng kasalukuyang adminsitrasyon. Pakiwari ko, puro propaganda ang tropang PNOY hinggil sa tuwid na daan.
Gone are the days when competition becomes the mission of everyone in the government. Even in the Holy Scripture, the talk about divided house in Mark 3:25 and I quote: "And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand." This is the same belief that the great Abraham Lincoln said in his speech before, "A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward, till it shall become alike lawful in all the States, old as well as new — North as well as South."
But apparently, this present government does not seem to understand the implication of being divide. Even in the Immutable Laws of Marketing, one of the topics about focused is discussed. Its importance and expected yield if one sticks to this law on focus. Law of focus is says that "the most powerful concept in marketing is owning a word in the prospect's mind." This law challenges us to boil our marketing message down to just one idea. If you can teach your market segment to associate your product with a single idea, perhaps even a single word, you can be a market leader. Perhaps, PNOY's team should start focusing on their raison d'ĂȘtre... as to why they are here right now.
Majority of the Filipino people voted for him because they believe in him, in his sincerity, commitment and vision. However, the way things are going on now, it seems to me that there are lots of issues they ought to resolve en toto. Personally, I believe in PNOY's sincerity... In his willingness to change the perception of the people about the government, and at the same time his desire to eradicate corruption.
However, I notice some inconsistencies in in actions that are taking place. Such as the appointment of Lt. Gen. Gaudencio Pangilinan who has been accused in corruption. I cannot fathom why some Malacanang people lawyer for Gen. Pangilinan? Commonsense dictates that they should have thought of delicadeza if they want to be consistent in their mantra (propagandum) of "Tuwid Na Daan". In the same breadth, why appoint Former AFP Chief of Staff Ricardo David as Commissioner of BID? Can you not find someone from within BID to assume higher position? For me, this is the reason why corruption breeds in BID. Career officers would feel so demotivated with what Philippine presidents are doing --- appointing highly favored people for political gratitude. Of course, there are some people from PNOY's circle who want to retain Ledesma as BID Commissioner. But we know how divided the house of PNOY is.
My only wish though is, if they do not have a collective stand and vision on certain issues and also on the direction they will take, then they're are doomed to what the Greeks called "hamartia", which is, "to miss the point". But alas, they're not the ones who will be doomed, it's us Filipinos, the little ones.
I remember the dialogue in Alice in Wonderland between Alice and the Cheshire Cat. This is how more or less the dialogue went: "Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?' Asked Alice. Then the cat replied, "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to." Alice said, "I don't much care where". "Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat. "--so long as I get somewhere," Alice added as an explanation. Perhaps, Pnoy is the Alice in Alice in Wonderland. And I hope, he will stop to wonder in the real land, because the real land is far different from "The Neverland".
