The shout for freedom.

-

Our world, the entire universe and beyond, undisputably, are governed by natural law. It is the law that maintains order and balance in all aspect of material existence. It is the natural order of things. Nothing can be added and nothing can be taken. Water ftom the ground will precipitate into rain, back to its origin. Wind will travel across the globe, in various headings, concentration, tempetature and strenght, but it remains constant and contained. Volcanic sand may roll down up to the ocean and river floor and back up to the shores and banks in constant relocation. Same with eroded mountain soil down to the valleys and plains. Likewise, man and other living things are mere subjects under this law. A man's body is made up of 60% water, and 40% cells and tissues, that all the same will join the precipitation and the eartly soil in time. What comes up must come down. These are all true even before the memories of time had came into being. Evolution involves mere transformation for purposes of adaptation and conformation to changes occuring within the bounds and subjects of natural law. Evolution itself, apparently is part of the natural law. Much has been done by man to influence the natural order of things, both tor illicit and licit purposes. But to no avail, what has been added by man in one place, the law deducted from other place, and vice versa. Man displaced the water by the sea, but the law simply raised its level. The natural law in essence is to perpetuate an orderly and systematic physical existence. Conformity is rewarded through furtherance, while deviation is penalized, all in each time.

But there is this persistent nature in man that is desirous of overcoming the bounds of the natural law. There is this nagging passion to crash that natural wall that limit his aspiration, imagination and existence. Man has the unsatisfying nature, subconsciously, he knows he is beyond the bounds. He knows he belong to somewhere else, in a happier and freer state. The knocking sense of estrangement bothered him. He become frustrated... disappointed, because of too many unanswered questions in his midst. He seek relief and distraction from all that what the material world can provide. He aspired for hallucination and drunkeness. He engaged in promiscuity, vices, and pretentious entertainment to find some answer or perhsps a momentary peace, to the degradation of his faculties and moral make up. And fail he will and failed he did. 

Man is corporeal and at the same time incorporeal. The nagging sense of estrangement is coming from the incorporeal self. Like a man shouting in the middle of the wilderness and space. He is crying for freedom and adoption. It is the incorporeal or the spiritual core in man that is voicing out the longing and upliftment, while it is the corporeal self that is looking for the way and the answer towards confusion and chaos in the totality of his being. The incorporeal self wanted freedom, but the corporeal cannot comprehend what kind of freedom does it so desire. The lust for freedom, which time by time, has become an obsession. 

What the incorporeal man earnestly sought is the freedom from the bondage of natural law, which was enacted by the source of the greatest and infinite light. It was ratified by the spirit that is of GOD. Such that only the spirit can free the incorporeal man, being in itself a spirit, borne from the bosom of his holiness. That being, the path to freedom is through the bridge made up in GOD's words and in a manner of speaking, man has to walk the talk. The bridge actually has a name.... its called Jesus!, he is way the truth and the life.

Transcending Filipinism

-
Image
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

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.

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
