These pictures of a man riding an SUV with plate number MLP 636 threatening another person in another car is now making the rounds on Facebook. This was originally posted online by Ira Panganiban. I don’t have the complete story but apparently the guy in the SUV is threatening him with his gun after a “traffic disagreement”. Very timely for this since Jason Ivler was just recently apprehended in his house. I wonder how long it will take before the man in this picture is identified and maybe caught? If more bloggers and social network people spread this around, then traditional...

It’s a week full of surprises. First, Jason Ivler was finally caught by the NBI and they found him in the most obvious place – his house. Then the Senate releases a draft report finding Senator Villar guilty of the C5 controversy (which I’ll talk about on a separate entry). And now Press Secretary Cerge Remonde just passed away this morning. There are no details yet on what caused the death – he was just found unconscious in his office in Malacanang.
Let’s all pray for Sec. Remonde and the family and friends that he’s left behind.

Negros Occidental Congressman Julio “Jules” Ledesma is the number 1 absentee in the lower house. What’s infuriating is that despite the “dishonor” of having the most absences, he insists that he’s a hard worker and that he’s doing a good job despite never being at the session hall. He goes on to explain that he’s been “following up” the development of a bio-energy plant in San Carlos. What I don’t quite understand is that doesn’t he have vested interest in that project since the main companies that would supply sugarcane to...

2010 Presidential Elections, Mar Roxas
Jan 15th, 2010 |
1 Comment
I’m a staunch supporter of Senator Mar Roxas who’s running under the Liberal Party for the Presidency. I don’t think that will ever change even if my auntie is now under Nacionalista running under Senator Villar. I’ll probably write a post later on explaining why Mar is getting my vote but for now let me just share with everyone the interview he had on ABS CBN with veteran broadcaster Ted Failon (Juan on one). In this video, they have a 10 minute chat on various topics, including Mar’s plans for 2016 and his marriage with Korina Sanchez.
Okay, let me just say that...

Top Filipino internet mavens reveal their secrets in how they make money online in the upcoming Make Money 2.0 seminar scheduled on February 13, 2010 at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Ortigas. This is a no nonsense seminar which really focuses on sharing effective and proven ways on how you can improve your monthly revenues through various online money making tools. I highly recommend this event not only because of the topics but also because of the proven track records and competence of all the speakers. It’s literally a bargain (P1,000 inclusive of food) and you guys really stand to learn a lot...

I got this information from Magic 89.9 DJ Mo Twister. New airport scanners were deployed in the United States and man… they are scary. It’s literally similar to assigning Clark Kent with his X-Ray vision on the counter. The new scanners will see everything and can even show actual naked pictures of the people who pass through the scanner – yes they will see your private parts in all of it’s glory. While this may prevent drug smuggling and the like, this measure posts so many risks that I can’t imagine this being implemented locally here in the Philippines.

My friend, confidant, and driver Nilo passed away last night. He was in a comatose for the past 3 days after getting hit by a pretty bad stroke early Monday morning. He left behind his grade school son and his wife. I visited him at the Manila Hospital around 9PM and he was already in critical condition. My eyes, brain, and heart couldn’t comprehend how this happened so fast. Just last Saturday Nilo and I were going around the Metro meeting clients and working on various projects. He was so full of life and we were even talking about how life would change once I got married.
I walked up...

This recently surfaced on Facebook a few minutes ago. It’s a picture of Senator Noynoy Aquino getting mobbed by the supporters of Senator Manny Villar. Looks like no one can resist the urge to take pictures with him, hahaha!
