Politic king and Guns

… all government authority emanates from them (the people)…

… no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law…
The foregoing constitutional provisions are explicit, clear and concise. Any subjects under it are entitled to life liberty and property. It is a birthright and hence, cannot be licensed, limited or negated for whatever purpose and reason by anyone. It is an individual right; it is unconditional and personal; it is not collective. The government therefore in the exercise of their delegated authority is morally and legally obligated to uphold and protect these rights with utmost diligence and care while performing their sacred mandate. In this light, it is appalling to note that certain known politicians indirectly attacks these rights to portray themselves as morally upright, sensible, all knowing and concerned while riding on every popular and controversial issues  that comes their way. Their tyrannical upbringing afforded an attitude that projects the people from whom their authority emanated  as some naive goats that can be led by the nose to where they please; a bunch of cows that can be herded whenever they choose; a confuse colony of ants that cannot fend for itself without a queen. They were so reeked with the scent and juice of power that it had caused them to acquire a make believe sense of superiority over the same people that exalted them. They are wide awake on theorems and suppositions but had slept on actual, practical and factual. They believe that your right to life is to be protected only inside your home; they believe that like GOD, the government is omnipresent; they believe that criminals will obey them; they believe that them and only them can think and decide what is best for you.  They create and execute ordinances, rules, regulations, laws and procedures that by “gradualism” had curtailed the very right they were tasked to further…and through “semantics” had labeled them differently so as to dissuade recognition, resistance and rejection. It is and was a treacherous act when one is entrusted with power and authority, but had recklessly exercised them instead to self–perpetuation-(ad nauseam) while ignoring his primordial responsibility. People be aware; be on guard, and be wary of these politicians.  They don’t really care, they just want to be there… in power... forever. Otherwise, a day may come that your right to life, liberty and property will just be but on paper.

Transcending Filipinism

-

The term Filipinism by itself is Filipinism. It is uncommon in usage internationally, but somehow it made its way to world dictionaries and may refer to usage resulting from literally translating Tagalog words into English. These are English usage peculiar to and used only by Filipinos. Turn on/ off the lights is spoken as Open/ Close the lights; CR or Comfort Rooms are used instead of Toilets (The word “Toilet” has sensibility issue and considered unhygienic); Napkins are referred to as Tissue; Canteen is used instead of Cafeteria; Colgate means Toothpaste even though it’s a Close-Up; Refrigerator is generally called Frigidaire: Xerox is to photocopy even if the machines in use are UBIX, Brothers, etc. The preceding examples demonstrate that Filipinism is beyond lingual.  It is about tradition, customary practice and generally accepted norms that manifest in  language and its usage. Filipinism is also expressions in actions like; the” boodle fight” to celebrate brotherhood an

The Philippines, Rich man…Poor man…

-
It is no secret, and history will tell us that the Philippines since the Spanish era has yet to cross the verge from poverty principally due to manipulation and monopoly by foreign and local power of its resources.  Old phrases such as tobacco monopoly, the mining monopoly, the parity rights, the levies and so on had brought undue misery and hardships. The inequality and the disparaging utilization of the Philippine natural resources in favor of foreign power and the elite had precluded genuine progress. And here now comes the present, with the dwindling wealth and resources in the west the powers of the east and west is racing back towards Africa and South-East Asia to renew and introduce a new brand of colonization using the same old but time proven and effective gun boat diplomacy. The Philippines is again stunned, bewildered by the display of might and military power. In the same way their native ancestors had been awed before them. It was because the Philippine’s has failed to

Why Russia’s BMP3 Infantry Fighting Vehicle is the best option for the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).

Any avenue of approach in a war zone is a kill zone, be it an urban pave-ways or rural settings. The AFP have been sustaining unusually high casualties, resultant of inadequate armor and fire support. Individual infantry men were fully exposed while in marches on unfamiliar terrain towards the insurgent’s lair. Military vehicles have to traverse enemy territories without the security of protective armor (metal plates, chopped tree-trunks mounted on side of vehicles, sand bags, etc.).  Corollary, essential intelligence can easily be obtained in advance through aerial reconnaissance even before convoys proceed towards its destination. While the latter can be provided by available and inexpensive technology like drones, its utilization had remained an exception rather than the rule. Insurgent’s stationery bunkers/ fortifications greatly offset the AFP’s numerical advantage, that otherwise can easily be eliminated by an explosive blast.
