Jurassic Pork Barrel

There are dinosaurs in our midst.

Those ugly and ferocious reptiles of politics who dip their dirty hands on the Pork Barrel funds.

We are either living in a world called Pera Nova (Terra Nova) or Jurassic Pork (Jurassic Park).

They are more popularly called "buwayas" or crocodiles. But it seems they should more likely be called dinosaurs because many of them are not living in dreaded mosquito-infested swamps. They have migrated into bigger and fancy abodes in the cities, splurging on fine dining cuisines, globe-trotting in tourists and vacation spots almost every weekend, totting expensive Barong Tagalogs or suits, and have grown huge and powerful enough to crush you under their bare feet. They have become powerful not just because of the authority, but because they have a more potent form of ravaging into supremacy, and that is with their pork barrel funds.

Lord, Please..Kunin Mo Na Sila, Please.

I love this poem - It sums up most of what needs to be said to the corrupt members of our society.
Now, we just have to muster the guts to say it eye-to-eye.

Lord, please kunin mo na kasi sila, please.

"May mga taong kapag walang masabing tunay nating pagkakamali,
ang itinuturo ay ang mali raw nating pag-uugali.
Hahanapan tayo ng butas para lang masunod ang gusto,
Gagawan ng issue against you at mag-iimbento ng kaso

Ano ba akala nila sa atin, mga bobo at madaling maloko?
Hindi ba nila alam na tayo ay may dangal at prinsipyo
Tatakutin pa tayo at gagamitin ang kanilang posisyon
Para lang ipangalandakan na mas may kapit sila sa institusyon

Independence Doy

The most important question to ask on the job is not "What am I getting?" but rather "What am I becoming?"~ Jim Rohn

Independence Day is just around the corner, and I thought it would be interesting to retell the story of a friend of mine named Doy who underwent a  seemingly like "militarized" treatment at work.

Poor Doy. Talk about losing your right to reason out and demand for a valid explanation.

It was a total nightmare to suffer the wrath of a boss who decided to bully him just to teach him a lesson. All because his boss got a beating of his own from a bigger boss.

Talk about getting even with your subordinates.
