Corruption thrives in this country because we do not punish the criminals. Most of us know how corrupt officials get away with their thievery, yet we either ignore the existence of these schemes, or accept them as a way of life. Let me illustrate the point that we do know how they do it.

Thinking of buying a used car or motorbike, check with the LTO 1st to see if it is stolen & that the details match the official records:

Land Transportation Office (LTO) is an agency of the Philippine government responsible for improving land transportation services and facilities and implementing various transportation laws, rules, and regulations.

LTO’s Info-Text service will allow any person with a mobile phone to ask LTO about rules and procedures, and even data on certain vehicles.

It will not only be a risen-from-the-dead Dr. Jose Rizal that the Padre Damasos in our midst will try to run out of town. If the origin of Christianity itself, Jesus Christ, and his disciples were to come back and live among us, they and their minions will do all within their powers to banish them

After going to the extent of dying on the cross to establish a kingdom that is “not of this world,” I do not think Jesus Christ if he comes back to live among men now will be interested in temporal power. He will still say “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” (Matthew 22:21) He will still recognize and respect the existence of the state as distinct from the church. He will not approve of making threats and moving heaven and earth to abort the RH bill.

RP economy grows 7.3%, arangkada nang news today. It’s ‘Glorious ending’ for Arroyo presidency sabi ni Romulo Virola, secretary general of the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB). Andito na naman tayo sa lesson nang GDP which means, Gloria: Dinaya Pilipinas.

PRESUMPTIVE President-elect Noynoy Aquino has been emphatic: He will not recognize an Arroyo-appointed chief justice. Arroyo supporters have made this a casus belli against him.

Can the presumptive Chief Executive ignore an issue that has been ruled upon by the highest court of the land? His critics say this would be an impeachable offense for culpable violation of the Constitution. Why? Under our scheme of government, the judiciary is a co-equal branch of government and ignoring an Arroyo-appointed chief justice would be equivalent to an infringement of judicial power.

On the very probable victory of Noynoy Aquino in the recently concluded presidential election, an issue regarding taking his oath of office arose.

In keeping with his pre-election pronouncement that Gloria Arroyo should not appoint a Chief Justice at the eleventh hour, Aquino indicated his unwillingness to take his oath of office as President of the Republic before the apparent Chief Justice to be Reynato Corona.

MANILA, Philippines - Octogenarian Maxima Policarpio had spent most of her life in the mountains of Norzagaray, a small town in Bulacan, near the foothills of the Sierra Madre. She had hoped to spend the twilight of her life there in peace and quiet, tending a tiny vegetable garden and surrounded by fruit-bearing trees she had planted many years ago.

Mga Brod, medyo pinagpistahan ng mga buwetre ng POEA at ang mga OWWA employees ang mga contributions natin kaya mas maganda pa buwagin na etong government agency na eto. Mas maganda pa yata na sa private insurance company na lang natin ibigay ang mga fees natin.
