If it pleases the court...(Why the Supreme Court does not need a Spokesperson)

If it pleases the Supreme Court, let the Spokesperson deliver the message as it is, pure and free from improvisation. This is the only way that the Court's decision or ruling would be free from any unnecessary interpretation. And this is the only way that the spokesperson's personal feelings and emotions will not be imputed as the court's own pontification.

Indeed the court may only speak through its decision. Beyond what is written, is only an appellant's aspiration.

Misplaced Outrage. Misplaced Shame.

With all these in mind, I cannot however help but take exception to how some Hongkong nationals could so easily use the same incident to malign the entire country and throw all sort of conceivable outrage against the Philippines and the entire Filipino people. Doubly shocking moreover is how some Filipino could so easily and uselessly swallow their national pride, as they admit to being ashamed of being a Filipino.

The (im)perfect Truth Commission

Truth, like milk, arrives in the dark
But even so, wise dogs don't bark.
Only mongrels make it hard
For the milkman to come up the yard.
~Christopher Morley, Dogs Don't Bark at the Milkman

"If it is the truth that we all seek, then by all means let the seekers of the truth do their job. Anyways as the old adage goes, if we have nothing to hide we have nothing to fear.

Let us not make it hard for the milkman to come up the yard; that is if it is the milk that we want alright?"

To Marry or Not to Marry?- My two cents on PNoy's possible presidential wedding

Of course the responsibilities of the Office of the President should never be a stumbling block to consummate a legitimate love affair. Nor a legitimate Presidential love affair could be deemed a threat to national security or a public nuisance subject to summary abatement. While PNoy might be the youngest person to occupy the Philippine presidency, his age is obviously not the best number to delay what needs to be done. If indeed it is love that binds them together, then there is no reason to make the Presidency as an excuse to delay its consummation.

The End...almost

Imagine our daily lives without the annoying jingles competing in the airwaves with tunes mimicking songs that once upon a time appealed to our souls. Imagine our lives sans the tragedy and the drama that consumed our thoughts for the past few months, and the expose's that put to shame the greatest stories ever told.

keep kids from TV

poiloi's picture

A US national medical institution said on Monday that stricter rules prove effective in preventing kids from spending too much time on TV.

Limiting TV time is important, because watching too much TV or spending too much time on the computer or playing video games raises health risks, the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion said.

The health risks include obesity, alcohol abuse, early sexual practice, negative body concept, eating disorders, aggressive behavior and doing poorly in school, the center said.

Smokers who have higher levels of vitamin B6 and certain essential proteins in their blood have a lower risk of getting lung cancer than those deficient in these nutrients, according to a study by cancer specialists.

Scientists at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) said that although they had not found a causal link, the results may be a clue as to why some smokers never get lung cancer and some non-smokers or former smokers do.

THE WOMAN continues to haunt town plazas and the church belfry in the dead of night, probably reminiscing about the house she had saved for by working abroad, but which some relatives had reportedly appropriated for themselves. She might also be thinking of her lost love – her British lover with whom she had a son.

Sa may asawa, kapatid, anak, kaibigan, at kamag-anak na OFW.

Nais ko rin ibahagi sa inyo, ang natanggap kong email na ito.
Maaaring makatulong ito upang lalong maintindihan ng bawa't isa ang tunay na ibig sabihin ng pagiging isang OFW (Isa ako sa milyun-milyong kababayan natin). Tiyak na may mapupulot tayong aral dito.
