Good day to all!

Crazy things just happened to me today. The result of our government’s lousy implementation of new transportation rules. Makes me feel frustrated and mad about those decision makers.

I woke up in the morning feeling good, knowing that I can save more money from my everyday transportation expenses, since the news last night just broadcast a roll back in fares. What a good news!

I’m about to travel from Bulacan to SM Pampanga for my work. Yesterday, my transportation expenses totalled Php 127.00 (Php 40.00 from Bulacan to Monumento, PUJ and Php 87.00 from Monumento to SM Pampanga, BUS). Fair enough, although I still feel disappointed about the expenses, still expensive for me. Today, I’m scheduled to go there again to finish  my work, so I’m expecting a lower expenses but what confronted me is the opposite. The fare from Bulacan to Monumento became Php 39.50. Yeah right! 50 cents rollback, very nice! What can a 50 cents do these days?! It’s not even enough for buying a candy. You gotta be kidding!

Now, I’m about to pay for a BUS ticket going from Monumento to SM Pampanga. It should be lower than Php 87.00, but to my dismay, the conductor just gave me a ticket worth Php 99.00. He said they only unload passengers to terminal. They must be afraid being caught by the MMDA. Not only that, the terminal is way too far from SM Pampanga, so I have to ride a PUJ. An additional Php 7.50. Yeah right! Another funny thing here is that, the driver had to make one small full circle (turn-around) and another one big full circle (turn-around) before they would allow us to get-off the BUS because there’s no available space inside the terminal and they only unload passengers to terminal.What the heck! A waste of time and money.

The MMDA should solve this problem immediately by designating loading and unloading areas that are beneficial both to commuters and transport groups or else, get ready for the masses that will eventually unite for protests.

I’ve written this particular entry a long time ago when I was in college. I just accidentally foung it under my old study table recently. I’m putting it in this blog because I just wanna share who I was, and everytime I read it, it makes me smile and reminisce who I was before and it somehow bring spark on my frozen flame… Here it goes:

I’m depressed again. And I realized that my depression, caused me to hate myself. What does is mean? Why do I hate myself? Is it because I’m aware of everything but afraid to do anything?

I’m naturally a good leader. But i suppressed it over and over again, because I’m afraid of failing to attain, the expectations of others; Because I’m afraid of obligation.

I grew up in a big family. With all my cousins, we are always together. So solid as brothers and sisters.

But that  was then. When I still possess the young and innocent mind of a child. My world before is full of wonders and adventures.

I even forget the delicious meal prepared by my mother;

I even forget the refreshing splash of water in my face;

I even forget the sunset;

I even forget the heat of the sun that made my skin laughably tan!! Black!! Ohh, blackish-tan and shiny… My bestfriend even tease my as “negro” and as a defense mechanism, I call his penis “baluktot”, hahaha!!!

Haaaaayyy!!

I missed my bestfriend;

I missed my childhood;

I missed my highshool friends;

I missed my scientific enthusiasm;

What has happened to me?  Is it the consequences of holding firmly with my principles? Why are people so judgemental? Why are people “listening to your face” rather than on what you are “saying”?

Honestly, when I see people becoming somewhat paranoid just because of observing me, I feel like punching their faces! But that’s not me. Is holding your principle means holding your arms? If the answer is yes, then I’m into it…

This  ZTE controversy, in my own opinion as a common concerned citizen of the Philippines who is very frustrated and on the verge of loosing hope for our country’s good political change, is a really disappointing act committed by the “leaders” in our government.

“WHERE IS YOUR SENSE OF NATIONALISM?”

I’m pointing this question on the “people” behind this disappointing, morale degrading and devastating act. The single fact that they favored foreign company than “our own” is unacceptable for the Filipinos (those who still have the spark of Nationalism in their heart).

Weighing “business” and “nationalism” in our government seems difficult for our leaders. Being more business oriented is good if it is in the right perspective but this particular issue, our “leaders” was caught between the forces of “money” and “nationalism” and they are unable to weigh them rightly.

“LEADERSHIP BY EXAMPLE.”

If you, “leaders”, really envisions for our country’s recovery as one “nation”, you must choose something that is intangible and potentially very powerful if handled properly, and that is Nationalism.

Truly it is that evil once reign in this world and it is still reigning in the present time. A lot of us probably asked and still asking why people who does evil are the one’s who gets richer and more powerful in this world? There’s only one logical answer to this question: the evil reigns.

It is written in Galacians 1:4. Jesus Christ gave his life to save us from our sins and to let us know that there is hope for us to save ourselves from eternal damnation by trusting our faith in Him until the Judgement Day has come. The time after the good defeated the evil or all the enemies of God. Yes, God has enemies and those are the devils including Satan and those who chose the side of evil. The good times of the devil will come to an end. An inevitable end. [I Corinthians 15:24-25]

It is written in the Bible that the Word of God has to reach first all the corners of the earth before the coming of Jesus Christ and truthfully it is already happening. The Bible has been talking to us for a very long time and has been proving itself all along for thousands of years.

“A few good
men”

What our dying nation needs today are men of
will,Who dare to go against the
tyrants and oppressors.

Our nation does not need
orators who know just what to say. It does not need authorities to reason a way.
But our nation needs just A FEW GOOD MEN.

We consider him, Andres Bonifacio, as our National Hero but if we will examine the truth 100 years ago, I think we will discover something that will make us feel disgusted and sickened in our stomach as well as hatred to people responsible for his death. Let me ask you something, “Do you know how Andres died?” You will probably say, “He died during the revolution defending our country’s leberty.” Then I would say yes, you’re right but the big question is, “How he really died?”

“The government” executed him on may 10, 1897. They, he and his brotherProcopio where found guilty of treason and sedition in spite of the fact that the evidence was not sufficient enough to prove their guilt.* At that time,  Emilio Aguinaldo has already been elected President of the Republic of the Philippines which was proclaimed on March 22, 1897. Actually, on that election, Bonifacio was elected as Director of the Interior but Daniel Tirona stood up and said: “The position of Direction of the Interior is an exalted one and it is not proper that a person without a lawyer’s diploma should accupy it. We in our provice a lawyer, Jose del Rosario!” Of course if I was in Andres’ shoes during that exact moment I would feel deeply insulted. No needto explain why. Daniel Tirona, instead of apologizing, disappeared from the scene.

Bonifacio, as the chairman of the assembly and as the President of the Supreme Council of the KKK declared the assembly dissolved and all that has been approved and resolved null.

Oathtaking was done with all the elected officers present except Bonifacio for he and his men felt that there were anomalies during the election and the election was invalid. Aguinaldo sent a delegation to Bonifacio to persuade him to cooperate with the newly established government but he refused. Bonifacio established  a government separate from the newly extablished government. This is the reason why he and his men was considered and enemy of the state and sentenced to death. But Aguinaldo, might be considering Bonifacio’s honor and right as the founder of the KKK, commuted the death sentence to banishment. But others did not agree with him and insisted Bonifacio to be executed for the reason that he will be a cause of the disruption of the revolution. Because of those insistence, Aguinaldo withdrew his order. Bonifacio and his brother Procopio wa executed and buried in a grave dug using bayonets and few twigs was placed on it.

It was a sad fate and it touched my conscience for Andres was the Father of the Revolution and yet he was treated that way by people without a sense of honor. I’m wondering what would Rizal say about if if he is still alive during that time…
