2010 Presidential Elections, Manny Villar, Noynoy Aquino
Feb 16th, 2010 |

Liberal Party standard bearer Senator Noynoy Aquino challenged Nacionalista’s Senator Manny Villar to a one-on-one debate. Villar already responded by saying that if the debate would focus on issues and not mudslinging, he would gladly accept. I am all for this debate! This is something that a lot of people have been clamoring for. Let’s listen to both of them and see who really has a better platform of government. It’s time to focus on what they can do for us if they get elected to the Presidency. I applaud Senator Aquino for raising the bar and I hope that Senator Villar will...

We were treated to a very powerful and inspiring sunday service at VCF Greenhills on Valentines Day. One of the funny parts though was when they showed this video on the big screen. This really got me laughing and I couldn’t resist the urge to share this with all of you today. It’s a song by Nicole Hyala entitled “Mahal Kita Kasi”. Strongly recommend you watch this!
O diba, panalo!? )
Lastly, kudos again to Pastor Dennis Sy for such a unforgettable message on Valentines Day.

My fiancee and I celebrated Valentines a bit early. We went to watch the Kris Allen concert last February 6 at the Mckinley Hills Open Grounds. Tonight we’re just going to have dinner out with out parents. I remember back then when I didn’t have a girlfriend I’d give flowers to my mom and sometimes my sisters during Valentines day. The level of appreciation that goes on there is actually something that I never thought about and understood until now.
You can go out with your special someone anytime since you spend more time with him or her compared to anyone else. However most...

There was a news item on TV Patrol yesterday wherein people were complaining about the billboards along EDSA which advertised condoms and lubricants. One of the billboards featured Gwen Garci in a very skimpy outfit and in a suggestive and provocative pose. You know what I don’t understand? People are raising hell over a billboard and yet there are much more powerful suggestive contents being aired on free TV. What’s worse is that these contents don’t show during the night time but during noontime shows wherein a lot of kids actually tune in to watch.
Here’s the news clip...

2010 Presidential Elections, Manny Villar

The 2010 campaign has literally been reduced to name-calling, baseless accusations, and rumor mongering. Instead of presenting their platforms for government and their plans for the country, candidates have resorted to waging a poisoned media war. I used to be an avid fan of politics but now I’m frustrated with the insanely low level of politics that we have in this country. After C5, the Liberal Party started to pedal the rumor that Villar was PGMA’s secret candidate. Then it was followed up by Senator Jamby Madrigal who went as far as insulting the wife of Senator Villar. But wait,...

My good friend David Bonifacio shared this article on Facebook this morning and I was really touched and blessed after reading it. During these times when cheating and immorality is the norm, it’s always refreshing and inspiring to hear from people who still stand by their values and principles. This article is written by a law student named Micky Ingles who shares his thoughts on cheating and how it impacts the nation. It’s a simple but powerful piece that will really bring you back to the “real” reality and not the mired and tainted one that we’ve all come to get...

2010 Presidential Elections, Gibo Teodoro
Feb 12th, 2010 |

LAKAS-KAMPI Senator Miguel Zubiri shares in a recent radio interview that there’s a big chance that the winner in the 2010 Presidential elections will come from the opposition. He goes on to admit that their party’s standard bearer, Gilbert Teodoro, has yet to take off and capture the imagination of the voters. Zubiri hits on the campaign strategy of Gibo and hopes that the people behind the campaign would re-think the way they are packaging the former Defense Secretary.
Here are some snippets of the interview:
“There is really a big possibility that the winner will come from the...

While reflecting this evening I felt really convicted about my previous post about Ara Mina. I still stand by my sentiments that she is not ready to be a public official but what I do feel bad about is how I delivered my message to all of you. This country has so much negativity already and the last thing it needs is another blogger hastily judging and whining about other people. After some thought in the matter, I believe that the writing style in the previous post was very personal and emotional. With all humility let me offer my apologies to Ms. Ara Mina and to all of my readers.
One last piece...

Governor “Among” Ed Panlilio lost the electoral protest filed by Baby Pineda. This was announced by COMELEC today. This means that “Among” Ed actually lost the election in 2007 and it should be Pineda who should be governor. According to the recount: Pineda got 190,729 votes while Panlilio got 188,718.
Your thoughts? I’d like to take some time before I publish anything lengthy since I’m a known critic of Among Ed.

Former sexy actress Ara Mina is currently running for Councilor in Quezon City. I’ve been hearing about this video of Ara getting interviewed by DJ Mo Twister on ANC and how bizarre her answers were. I finally found time to dig up the video on Youtube and can I just say that it is indeed mind blowing. She definitely lost the support of a lot of residents in Quezon City because of this interview. This video already has 100,000 views and I expect it to snowball and become viral in the coming days.
In her interview with Mo Twister, Ara Mina said that she supports private armies. When prodded...
