Bomb Droppings

Ever wondered how it will feel like if you would be able to drop a bomb in the middle of a busy community, government institution or business establishment?

Hey, I'm not talking about that kind of bomb, I'm no terrorist! But my bomb would surely explode into smithereens and a lot of splinters or shrapnel would come flying out into several directions out from its point of origin.

But I do have worries. I am frustrated on how our so called leaders and authorities react to such bomb droppings.

I am an ordinary citizen who may come under withering fire if I try to “influence” or seem to "undermine".

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

Bottled Brains For Sale

If bottled brains would be available in the near future, I would be buying these three immediately just to learn what makes them tick. Well, so far they are my favorites - when they showed the country how exquisite and eccentric their minds work during the Chief Justice Renato Corona Impeachment Trial.

Bottled brains anyone? How much are you going to pay to get your hands on them?
We saw in the televised Impeachment Trial proceedings how adeptly lawyers go into semantic contortions, how they buttress their arguments with the finest frills of the law, interpreting these laws in so many obtuse ways that befuddle those of us untrained in legalese!

Wheelchair and Other "Palusots"

“Ang Kawatang Nagigipit, Sa Wheelchair Kumakapit”

A few months ago, Malacañang refuted a statement of Chief Justice Renato Corona that the root cause of his impeachment was the Supreme Court’s adverse decision on the Hacienda Luisita owned by the President’s family.

Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda vehemently denied and stated that the root cause of Corona’s impeachment was Corona’s “lapdog loyalty” to former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo as shown by the High Court’s issuance of the TRO against the watchlist order on the former President.

Now that the Impeachment trial is over, many would have to agree  that Corona indeed takes after his “master” for following her “wheelchair” strategy to fish for sympathy.

When all “technicalities” failed, go for the “underdog” approach.

The Day Corona Testes-Tified

The "incident" at the Senate Impeachment court where the Chief Justice Renato Corona surprised everyone by his declaration of a waiver allowing most government agencies to access his bank accounts... only to give a pathetic condition later on that all 188 congressmen, who signed his Impeachment complaint, plus a special mentioned Senator Franklin Drilon, would also sign similar waivers, then CJ hurriedly walks out of the courtroom before he could be cross-examined...... was like similar to having sex with your wife at a point where both of you are almost reaching climax, at the peak of intimacy......then all of a sudden your child walks into your room and sees the two of you while in coitous.

When the CJ returned to the courtroom (he probably couldn't leave because the Senate President and presiding impeachment court senator judge Juan Ponce Enrile ordered all Senate doors and gates locked), he was in a wheelchair....like a limp penis several minutes after pleasing himself.

I believe he's far more relieved, while most of us at the courtroom had been abruptly stopped from ejaculating!

Barbershop Philosophers

As a child, I went to the nearest barbershop a few blocks away from our house in my hometown.  I remember being fascinated with all the barber stuff. There were several combs of different shapes and sizes, and I won't forget the first time I saw and heard the electric shaver that would be used on my nape when I ask for a "barbers cut" plus the sharp "labaha" or razor that the barber would use on my  .

What I remember most though, was the distinct "manliness" of the place. There were plenty of calendar cum posters on the walls displaying scantily-clad women endorsing alcoholic beverages. The posters, containing beautiful, sexy and voluptuous women, masquerading as calendars were all over the place. In fact it may have been the reason why I got interested in girls at a very young age.

Mister Anonymous

"Why is there a proliferation of Mr. Anonymous in this archipelago?!" says Senator-judge Miriam Defensor Santiago.

I would have to laugh-out-loud if the Senator would take it seriously and consider requiring the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and Philippine National Police (PNP) personnel to look for "Mister Anonymous" due to a strike three circumstance where evidences coming in are from "anonymous" sources.

The Crown Of Gloria

The Impeachment trial is tomorrow, Monday January 16, 2012.

To keep myself in the loop, I've decided to search all over the Internet and compile all the information I deemed pertinent to keep me abreast of all the facts and issues so that when I seat down and listen to the trial proceedings, I won't be caught uninformed.

Here are some of the many information available online, with some editing and added opinions of my own, and arranged in a way I find more streamlined and conducive to easier understanding - minus some of the hype.

I'll get back to all of these and insert clearer facts and "subtract" redundant or erroneous entries.

Of course, add my illustrations which I am very fond of. For the meantime, I am sorry to bore you with all the lengthy text.

Panatang Ano Ba Yan

The Corona Properties

“If they can find it, it’s theirs,” “I’ll execute a deed of donation. If they can show my properties, I’ll just give it to them. The problem with some people, I won’t say who, they think that I am a thief like them.” – Renato Corona.

The alleged Corona properties are located in the cities of Makati, Parañaque, Marikina and Taguig, according to a two-page letter from Land Registration Authority Administrator Eulalio Diaz III.

Senate House Rules

Limited Seats

Like a blockbuster movie with limited seating, Corona’s impeachment trial in the Senate will provide seats to 175 private individuals, including 25 senior citizens inside the session hall.

The session hall has a seating capacity of 361.  However, many of the seats have already been allotted to the staff of senator-judges, House prosecutors and defense lawyers who will participate in the trial.

Even media has not been spared from the limited seating conundrum.

Monday The 16th

Friday the 13th Vs Monday the 16th

Today is Friday the 13th ...Many have superstitions attached to this date that will happen 3 times this year, January, April and July....But I think the people would have to fear more Monday the 16th...for it's the start of the Impeachment Trial..

The Impossible Win

The Impossible Dream

“This is not my personal fight, this is the fight of the judiciary and democracy. If this is only for me, there is a simple solution. But this is not my personal fight. We will make known what is right under our Constitution,” says Corona.

This statement was given by Corona immediately after the sixth and final novena Mass held on the Supreme Court grounds. Chief Justice Renato Corona and his wife Cristina turned emotional at the conclusion of the novena sponsored by Solidarity of Sovereignty, a group calling for the preservation of the independence of the judiciary.

Nazarene Terror Threat

A World Record

This year's Feast of Black Nazarene: Three million devotees on a 22-hour procession that started at around 7 am of January 9 and ended approximately 6 am of January 10.

Holy cow! This should be on the Guinness book of world records! What a long day it was especially for the devotees! The Arroyo transfer from St. Lukes Medical Center to the Veterans Memorial Medical Center detention was “light-speed” compared to this.

The Impeachment Trial

Biggest And Smallest Crocodile

The Philippines now holds the world records for the largest and smallest captured crocodiles.

The largest is Lolong (20’3”) is now confined in Agusan Del Sur.

Lolong is the largest crocodile now in captivity. A male Indo-Pacific or Saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus), that weighs 2,370 pounds (1,075 kilograms) and a length of 20 feet 3 inches (6.17 meters), making him one of the largest crocodiles ever measured from snout-to-tail. In captivity, it surpassed the length of the eighteen-foot record-holder Cassius of Australia, the twenty-foot Nile crocodile Gustave and even the twenty-foot crocodile caught in New Guinea on 1983.

The smallest (4'3") is now confined in Quezon City, at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC), and goes by the name of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

Lately, in joint cooperation between the House of Representatives and Malacanang, and hopely the Senate, the Philippines is now in the process of claiming another big catch: A crocodile that goes by the name of Renato Corona.
