Congress

"Isa ito sa problema sa ating mga Pilipino, karamihan sa atin ay maka-sarili at hindi na iniisip kung ano ang mas makakaganda sa nakakarami bagkus ang iniisip nila ay ang kanilang mga sarili lamang. Ang statement ng isang Mayor ng pampanga na mas

"Iba kapag may nalalapitan ka sa Itaas"

Ay nagpapatunay laang na laganap na ang koruption at patuloy na lalala^ ito hanggat may mga taong makasarili.

Patriotism is long lost gone in the hearts of most Filipinos.

ACCOUNTANTS (Pagtutuos), TAKE NOTE!!!

A Bill filed by Sen. Lito Lapid asks that proposed laws should be written in Filipino (Pilipino). Likewise, the official spoken language in the Senate should be Filipino. But I doubt this Bill will see the light of day. Read on to know why.

Ang Paggamit ng Wikang Pilipino

A young, good-looking representative from Laguna sponsored a Bill recommending the Filipino language be used in all levels of accounting firms and banking institutions. The solon claimed it will provide a better understanding of the business transactions for those who are inexperienced and non-English speaking citizens.

I agree with Patricia Evangelista’s reading of Chiz.

“I am leaving my party because I believe that in this way I can achieve what I am to do and the role I am meant to fulfill with regard to the elections, at this time, at this minute, not as a member of any party, not as a partner to anyone, but only myself, as myself.” -Chiz Escudero

In a follow-up interview with TV Patrol’s Ted Failon, asked on what occasion his party has unfairly dictated his actions and choices, Escudero denied he can be dictated to.

For the Catholic hierarchy, it must be a dreaded case of the barbarians finally reaching its gates.

Two years ago, at the bidding of Cardinal Gaudencio Rosales, Monsignor Jose Clemente Ignacio became rector of the Church of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo, home of the miraculous 400-year-old statue of the kneeling Christ that is the object of frenzied adulation by millions.

To head what the Cardinal calls “the premier church of the Philippines" is an esteemed post any man of the cloth would be eager to assume—except the plaza outside the Quiapo Church also happens to be the abortion capital of Metro Manila.

Obama quietly signs $7.5bn Pakistan aid bill
Reuters/Washington
US President Barack Obama quietly signed yesterday a $7.5bn aid bill for Pakistan that drew criticism in the nuclear-armed South Asian country because of conditions linked to the funds.
Obama signed the bill behind closed doors at the White House without a public ceremony before leaving on a trip to New Orleans. The law provides $7.5bn in non-military assistance to Pakistan over five years.
Pakistan’s military had complained because the legislation ties some funds to fighting militants and is seen by critics as violating sovereignty.
