Who could possibly have predicted that President Noy Noy Aquino would have to deal with this much, so soon?
Well, being at the helm of a country's bureaucracy is no cakewalk, and after the Quirino Grandstand Hostage Crisis, and a boatload of criticism heaped onto him as a result of other issues such as having supposedly incompetent cabinet members, and purportedly being too "light" in general.
Let me tell you- these critics would make more sense if they didn't think of their own gains before tossing out their sanctimonius platitudes.

Quit the Lebron Hoopla.
Okay, so now, Lebron James has become hated cross-culturally.
If you asked me, the agenda setting in the case of the two time NBA MVP changing zip code was to create so much hype to the point that King James would be able to command enough media mileage to make everyone moves in accordance to his whims. Smart move, I'd say.
LBJ must have seen all the potential hate coming from the Cleveland faithful. Okay, maybe he didn't anticipate Dan Gilbert's diatribe about betrayal and whatnot, but heck, it was something that could have come, and would have come, anyway, given the heights which the entire Lebron exodus drama reached. Haters would have emerged almost naturally.
Now, the dust has settled, the Miami Heat have won the LBJ sweepstakes, and in the end, at least economically, the NBA has come out triumphant (and so has ESPN). Ticket sales for Heat games have gone through the roof, and one can only imagine what the ratings will be like for that first meeting between the Cavaliers and the revamped Heat in Ohio. They'd better call the Feds for that one. It'll be momentus, more significant that Kobe and Shaq on Christmas day. It'll be more epic than the pariah becoming king, albeit, in a land once thought to be forever foreign to him.
Lebron is now, at least in Cleveland, one huge piece of game clad in white and fire red.
Stop the rumor mongering, the picking on what should be, and probably are already, thick, dry, scabs. Let the games begin. It's put up or shut up time.
Of course, this isn't going to happen because people need paychecks and paychecks buy happiness, for some, or most.

Let's Talk About...Sex?
Recently, there's been a lot of talk about the DEPed and CBCP having trouble with implementing SexEd in local schools. Okay, now I realize that we shouldn't simply allow ourselves to get carried off by the current in any case, however, one must realize that this is a touchy issue to many not because of the fact that it outrightly speaks of the death of morality as we know it, but because it may spell the death of morality if this can of fire is handled improperly.
To me, sex is something which is sacred, and whether you're the sort who feels like you're responsible enough to do it prior to your nuptials, or someone who would rather wait until you tie the knot. It should always be done with the best intentions in mind, and in this realm, no one should compromise. Never just let things happen. Decide what's best for you, and stick to it. Minimize your margin for error. Put trust at the forefront. Make respect your ultimate benchmark.
To teach our children about sex can be viewed as us equipping them with the power to discern. This is a valuable tool, after all, Jesus Himself emphasized the importance of teaching us to become "fishers of men". Teaching a man how to fish is of more value than spoonfeeding him/her the answers. Before we judge people who "know", let's pause to think- perhaps it would be better to march into war with loaded guns, as opposed to marching in with empty guns, saintly intent, and broken dreams.

Wowowe...Bullshit.
Bullshit.
http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/258909/abscbn-pardons-willie-puts-him-indefinite-leave
I won't try to be eloquent about it. This is hogwash. This is bullshit.
As so often happens in Philippine society, we have once again pardoned an undoubted pariah, a glaring symbol of a corrupted society built of ideals rooted in greed, and immorality, and selective judgment.
Wowowee has become an inspiration for Filipinos all across the globe, eh?
How far down the ladder have we gone?
This is center-of-the-Earth stuff right here.

Pinky and the Brain.
Here's an old profile of Senator and recent presidential bet Richard Gordon which I dug up:
http://web.archive.org/web/20060519052728/www.senate.gov.ph/senators/sen_bio/gordon_bio.htm
Reading his credentials and those of other "qualified" government officials makes me wonder- when will Congress work to amend the constitutional provision on the requirements of an individual to become president?
Article 7, Section II of the 1987 Philippine Constitution states:
"No person may be elected President unless he is a natural-born citizen of the Philippines, a registered voter, able to read and write, at least forty years of age on the day of the election, and a resident of the Philippines for at least ten years immediately preceding such election."
The part about citizenship, that's a given. The "able to read and write part"- uh oh.
The law as expected, should espouse equality, but what happens when the said caveat is abused by corrupt officials who seek to embezzle funds rather than embellish the Filipino character with honesty and dignity?
And we wonder sometimes why some go guerrilla on the government at the drop of a hat.
At the end of every election, reformists tend to preach about the importance of voters education, and how corruption in government can be quelled by vigilance from the laity with regards to safeguarding morality in terms of sieving the truly qualified from the obviously ill-suited. These things are well and good, but here's the catch- how in the world can these things go from rhetoric to reality if the very definition of "acceptable" is muddled? If the so-called "rules" which claim to advocate equality have loopholes which allow the worms of society to potential spoil things which ought to be positives?
We had Erap for 3 years. We have had Gloria for 9. Will Noynoy exceed expectations? At least I know he's not a hack, but then again, in fairness to those with differing views, those have tended to be "famous last words" for the Philippine masses in the past. The safer thing would be to wait and see.
I didn't vote for Senator Gordon, but I can respect the fact that he's competent.
And in other news, it looks like we're in for another Lito Lapid-smeared upper house.
Great.

Misnomer.
To say that the recent automated polls was a success would be to make hasty generalizations.
In a recent press conference, presidential candidate Maria Consuela "Jamby" Madrigal, along with other presidentiables Nicanor "Nicky" Perlas and John Carlo "JC" Delos Reyes expressed skepticism at the veracity of the automated counting process. Why wouldn't they, right? Forget the fact that the bottom-feeders were the ones who showered the airwaves with doubt about how the votes were tallied. What one must remember is the fact that the COMELEC has, indeed, had shortcomings with regards to totally safeguarding the polling process. Why not random manual audit prior to May 10th? Why no media-covered inspection of the CF cards? Why no ballot sensitivity testing prior to the elections?
Call it whatever you want. I prefer to call it carelessness, and, in a sense, the mighty hand of Malacanang slowing things down.
What happens if we discover inadequacies in the configuration of the over 76,000 CF cards distributed to the country's various precincts? Do we have an automated recount? Do we have a manual recount? Do we all go hang ourselves?
It might be a moot point to even consider the final option, because for all we know, we may be on a leash and dangling from trees already, given this government's failure to do forward thinking.

Nurse Curse.
My significant other is a registered nurse. I truly have high regard for what RNs do. It takes a lot of moxy to be able to do as much as they do for patients and get back gossamer portions for their efforts.
Here's a thought I had recently.
Why on Earth do nurses earn so little in the Philippines anyway? I suppose that part of it has to do with the fact that there are so many nurses out there to begin with. Because nurses get paid so little, a lot of them say that they had taken nursing with the specific purpose of going abroad and "having a better life". Dollars are Dollars, and Euros are Euros, but believe me, peace of mind is priceless. Sometimes, having all the dough in the world and being alone just isn't the equation for happiness.
There are instances when some nurses look at their stints in Philippine-based healthcare institutions as mere "transition points" to the extent that their motivation in relation to servicing clients gets compromised. When such a trend goes on stage in droves, then nurses get branded as all sorts of negative things, and this further lowers the bar, and, keeps the compensation rating of nurses at a minimum.
Next time you're in a hospital, say thank you to your nurse, because without him/her, you may not be as well cared for as you should be. Remember that him/her has a lot on his/her mind, and maybe, not enough in his/her pocket. These people, for the most part, deserve a lot more than they receive, ergo, instead of turning a blind eye to their efforts, reforms ought to be instituted to increase their pay scale. Lawmakers, if truly nationalistic, should pass bills which favor nurses and other professionals, so that they need not seek employment abroad, and meet potential heartache that cannot be quantified.
Will Senators like say, Jinggoy or Bong Revilla heed this call? That remains to be seen.
Long live the Filipino nurse!

How Annoyingly Cute.
Here's a piece I came across concerning the 2010 Miss Earth winners doing their part in cleaning up rubbish accrued from the just concluded national electoral campaign:
http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/257140/miss-earth-winners-participate-postelection-cleanup
While this makes for a charming little footnote on a front page awash with PPCRV count results and mudslinging going on between the Mar Roxas and Jejomar Binay camps, what one must remember here is that candidates should, in the first place, practice some self-regulation and not make subdivision walls, electric posts, etc. their personal "sampayans" for their ugly visages. The Commission on Elections, eons ago, had designated common poster areas within which candidates could slug it out. Does anybody listen to the COMELEC anymore, though? Not consistently, I think.
Check this out (from- http://www.comelec.gov.ph/2010%20National_Local/resolutions/res_8758.html):
Maybe if candidates adhered to campaign X's and O's more, we would not have to listen to irritatingly irrelevant and flirty comments like this,
"Since nagagawa namin ‘to, ‘yung mga boys diyan na naglagay niyan, sana sumama sila’t gawin din ‘to dahil kailangan nating panatilihing malinis ang paligid.”
It's disgusting that even in cases like this, people would have to be "enticed" in this way in order to see the relevance and value behind electoral reforms and staying faithful to mandates aimed at promoting equality and order.

On Concessions, and Lost Dreams.
And so Manny Villar was the first to concede defeat to Noynoy Aquino today.
Statesmanship? Perhaps, but with lest we forget the way by which Villar conducted his campaign, allow this humble representation to remind you.
He bombarded the airwaves with the most number of political ads of any presidential aspirant, vastly exceeding the limit alloted per television station.
He blatantly and unabashedly played on the sentiments of a helpless old woman (his mother) to try and gain sympathy from the Filipino electorate.
The man kept claiming that he was dirt poor, to the point of exaggeration, to try and gain votes.
He agreed to endorsements from Dolphy Quizon and Willie Revillame. Need I say more?
Before we let Senator Villar of the hook, let's stop and ask ourselves, "When will we shake off our nasty habit of letting crooks go just-like-that??"
For our sake, I hope we all manage to respond with an emphatic, "NOW!" rather than a less that resolute, "maybe later".

May 10, 2010- Election Day
How fitting that my inaugural entry for this blog should come on election day. After all, I do seek to make this blog one that is socially relevant, and incisive, to say the least.
So what events constituted your election experience today? Fortunately, it took me all of 10 minutes to vote, and vote for decent men and women I did.
Tell me your stories.
Remember, folks, it isn't just about the act of voting itself. We must also be aware that the names and faces that constitute our choice to exercise our right to suffrage matters just as much, if not more, than the act of selection, itself.
Count. Pray. Celebrate.
