It is quite complex yet purely subjective fact that religion is hitting its zenith on standing against RH Bill to be passed on. the war between the Anti and Pro's are raging with fire, both parties have extreme reasoning on why this Bill should be passed and why it should not be passed.

It is an insane act seeing Catholic church dying to stop this bill to pass, and that turned out to be a great mistake- by looking at the photo above, it seems the church is promoting HIV/AIDS! How dire and gruesome that is!

What it feels like being an antagonist to something that would help our economy better on the years to come? Would it be nicer and an accomplishment to celebrate, and to be joyful of?

Maguindanao 'sex strike' puts clan war to bed

Women in a Maguindanao village successfully held a “sex strike," putting an end to the “rido" or clan feuds in their area.

According to a Monday report on GMA News TV’s “State of the Nation" and “Saksi," wives in the village of Dado in Maguindanao took it upon themselves to put an end to the warring in their village by threatening to withhold sex if their husbands went on with their warring.

“Sige, punta ka diyan. Ikaw bahala, hindi ka makakauwi sa bahay, hindi kita tatanggapin," said Hasna Kandatu, a resident of the village.

A week after they first dangled the threat of a “sex strike" or “tigil pagtatalik," peace started to reign in the village—the farm to market road reopened, putting an end to the village’s dependence on rations.

The idea came from a group of women engaged in a sewing business; because of the constant feuding, they would be unable to transport their products along the village road.

Society/community is divided into two division- Anti RH Bill and the Pro Rh Bill. The minds have been boggled about this issue in which the CBCP(Catholic Bishop  Capital of Philippines) is in urge on consistently   disagreeing   to let the RH Bill approved. It's quite sometime now, since it was filed years ago but due to the disagreement of the church and its refusal on acquiescing it , until now RH Bill is floating in spite of the strong promotion of  lawmakers pursuing to make it happened.

CBCP is in Boycott mode!   Yes, you heard it right  they are in a forcefully altercation. Bickering because they are afraid  what would be the future of our country if we allow  RH Bill to behead, the child who  supposed to live, will never be given a chance to see the beauty of the earth. And to approved it, is like we accede on "Pro Abortion/ killing" So the church is on its solid ground, and  vital decision to stop lawmakers pursuing the said Bill.

(the Philippine Flag)

At first we battled against the cruelty of Ferdinand Magellan and his conquest to siege and let our country depends on Spain, in which one of the powerful Europian nation back in the day of our forefathers. Our noble heroes who once shed blood and gave their lives to saved us from the grueling Spanish reigned. Their memories reminds us, the fight, the hope and the dream to free us from the abusive colonial rule of Spain.






(The proclamation of Philippine Independence in Kawit Cavite on June 12, 1898)
 The battle proclaimed the sovereignty and independence of the Philippine Islands, on June 12, 1898 which Spain  had been defeated from the Spanish-American war at Manila bay.

It would be too late for us to figure out if we chose the right person to be elected. Believed me, it would be too late. Why? Because choosing the person to be in the place where we wanted him or her to be, is the hardest thing to do. We don't even know what keeps on running on their minds right now.It is either a sincere and Godly service or a corrupt administration, trying to get those investments they spent during the campaign period. It was hard to determined at all.

Confused and afraid to jot down every politicians  who promised good service and no corruptions would happened. We all know that promises are made to be broken. Upon writing this post, i know there are lots of people would be thinking thesame way as i am, for we are all wrapped up with golden promises. If  we only given them a chance to serve, CHANGE will happen. But trying to recall all those bangings and mudslinging words that they had been saying against their co-politicians, people must think seven times. It is not good for a leader to lead this nation in wrath, anger in their hearts, and probably personal interests. Because we all know, this nation will drown more and more.

Losing my HOPE  is not the biggest question here, but losing my TRUST  is the main idea. How about you?
We had done choosing Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, we even did the PEOPLE POWER REVOLUTION, impeachment and flounder case against ERAP, but still we got nothing, and the outcome of that struggle was futility, corruption and greediness. We had been in these situations! It is tiring to choose, if only we can change this nation without letting one person to lead and brings wrath it would be great. But as a nation we need one leader to rule.

I wish after this election we could feel the true meaning of CHANGE,  and the essence of bountiful country.  I like what Manny Villar said: Malaysia,Thailand,Singapore those are just small countries, but because of true service, they emerged and reach the zenith of triumph. The question now: what about my country PHILIPPINES,  is there any CHANGE  that will happen?

I am asking you...

I wouldn't find any reason not to talk, I wouldn't find any reason not to continue in this journey of life, and definitely I wouldn't find any reason not to smile. These are just few of those remarkable words that i heard from someone whom i thought would never think about positive things in life.  A hopeless human being.

But it is always wonderful, when you find out, that there are those people who were dragged down and became a victim of tragic happenings, as for yourself it wouldn't be good to smile anymore. Watching them slowly moving forward was one of the best thing to treasure. Just got interested on one person that makes everything still possible, beyond the fact that he is unable. How did he survived, how did he move everyday  facing those fierce eye of community? And how did he consider himself as successful? It is intriguing to know!

As we grow up, we find lot of things that makes us happy, our family,relationships and friends. It can be also in earthly things. Such as ipod,3G phones,laptop,PSP and many more. These are just few of those  incalculable riches that human has. I asked many people about their lives and how they survived from time that they faced some unexpected tragic things that happens  to them. Here are the answers.......

One street kid said: "As long as there are still garbages on the streets i will still laugh out loud".How inspiring, his survival talks about the situation that we have in this nation. One lady states:" I got pregnant but no husband, i tried to stop her life,but when i realized she can make me smile i cried".. We lose our hope and think we are alone, but when we just think, there should always be a reason to smile and we find it. Some says, life is not worth living, i too sometimes said this stupid verdict. When times hit me up and telling me i am worthless un capable, i felt like cocooned by giants and cannot escaped on those trail. But when realization happens, i always coped up and start a new day with a great smile. It is a spirit of survivor, a winner. I hope you too think that way, regardless of what we have been facing. I asked a grade two little girl  about our country. We always know that, at that stage, she can perceive things semi correct.  With her loud voice she told me that, our country is great, people are good, abundant life,  she can't find any better that this country. And because of that, she have the reason to smile everyday.

I was astonished, listening on her soft but very meaningful words. I am old enough to think, if our country is in good hands,and if our country is abundant in everything, that people needs. That remains silent.

I would love to asked you this base on what that little girl had said.

Do we still have the reason to smile?

Three months to go another journey of our Philippine presidentiables will be changed. Another new president will rule this nation, for us countrymen, we hoped and dream that someday this nation will have what we are dreaming for our new generation, that someday they will never suffer all those things that we have been facing right now. A story of determination, and a book of struggle. We have so many stories to tell, watching those ads of these so called "soon to be a ruler of nation" is inspiring. Their words that gives us the reason either to vote or not to vote.

Their promises, is there any truth on it? What about after the election, can they fulfilled their goals? This is just a few questions that me as a person, and as a Filipino have been asking this days. Or we will always just come up into a conclusion, such as "promises is made to broken"!. Do we still have hope, that this nation will bounces back? We will find it out, on the right time. But for now, all the things that we need to  do, is to choose the right person for the position and would be the head of this staggering nation. 

" I AM SORRY"  this is the phrase that we heard when President Gloria Arroyo, fooled us all. With her smile, and strength she overpowered us . We never had a chance, to defeat her,instead she continue ruling this nation, and  with it she exists in a way of proving her worth as a strong president. Some people liked it, but mostly hate her. Now the question is: is this things will still happen again and again? This is a halo of how dirty our politics is. What will happen to our new generations?

Another chance of one person, one dreamer and one aspirant presidentiable who will be given a chance to prove his worth, that there are still reasons for us to celebrate life. There are still reasons, that this nation will be changed. Hope it will happen. Noynoy Aquino, Manny Villar,Gibo Teodoro-  aimed CHANGES.  Promising that they will never stole any treasure that this staggering nation has. Hope it will happen. And hope they meant it!

It would be a change, or another battle. A battle of words or blood. They said that they are the way for us to changed this nation, so be it. But as we all know, "action speaks louder than words"!  Let us find it out. Our eyes are open, and our mouth will never be closed!   We still have the reason to witness what is going on, when this people have achieved their goals, their promises. 

 Let us wait................. And believe that one day it will happen, CHANGE!

Wow, this is really an eye opener for all of us Filipinos- We are one of the poorest country in this world. Look now, most of our country men were suffering from hunger and extreme poverty. Things becomes so hard for us to achieved.

(food,clothes,personal needs,education and money)

These are just few of the needs that most of us were looking for. Young ones were the most affected of this kind of holocaust that we have today- and that is the POVERTY-

THIS THIRD WORLD COUNTRY- is there's any chance to reached what we were dreaming for. An abundant life, peaceful and a God fairing nation? How can we gain back our hope? People on our government feasting the little treasure that we have, a little food for this nation were all in their pocket. Lies here and there. Thieves are not living in far places,but near beside you- the people who had given a chance to rule this dying nation.We are fighting for our freedom, but they killed us slowly with their tricks of feasting our little treasure that we don't know- I think we know it, but most of the time WE ARE TOO LATE!

23.8 to27.6- this is our poverty hunger rate today- it is increasing? isn't it? YES IT IS INCREASING-
