TELESERYE OVERLOAD

Hey I'm back from my long absence in the blogger world. I'm trying to pursue other experiments in the internet. And I will make it happen. But I will never drop this blog away. Never. Its my first love kasi eh.
Meron akong kaibigan na heart broken, dahil iniwan ng kaniyang someone, and he cries, and thinks it can be solved by just buying roses, to gain her again. Which not always work in real life. The attitude of this person, I have one thing to blame. TELESERYE OVERLOAD.
Inaakala niyo siguro na about pork barrel issues ang ipo-post ko. For someone that is so political like me. All I can say is the pork barrel issue is a hopeless case. With a hard-headed administration like this, it wouldn't go anywhere anytime.
Back to the topic. The Philippine Television is so full of Teleseryes from morning to night. Lalo na sa gabi. Pinuno na nito ang buong Primetime. Ang mga lider nga nito ay ang GMA at ABS-CBN.
Na ang mga tema ay puro pag-ibig. Pino-project nila na tila napakadali lang ng pag-ibig na hindi naman. Kaya nabubuyo ang maraming kabataan na sumugod sa maagang pag-iibigan, at humahantong nga sa pagkasira ng pag-aaral at buhay.
Hindi ko naman sinasabi na tanggalin ang mga teleserye sa balat ng telebisyon. No, I'm not for that. We need them for our entertainment. But drama is not the only form of entertainment. We have comedy, horror, action, reality as forms of entertainment. What happening in our television is imbalance.
And that imbalance makes the Philippine TV boring as hell. I would like to see comedy in TV daily, but it is only in weekends. The only nightly comedy show, which is not as perfect as others, which I like to watch, The JOJO A. Show was cancelled in TV5
The only TV station, entertainmently wise, which is not imbalance in programming is TV5. But the JOJO A cancellation makes me not wanna watch them.
Now Im stuck with the boring ABS-CBN, and the much more boring GMA, which I only watch because of Eat Bulaga. Other than that I dont watch them. I hope the imbalance will be balance.

ACT OF TERROR

Naisulat nga ang post na ito dahil sa nangyaring bagong pamomomba na nangyari sa taunang Boston Marathon sa Estados Unidos. Ngunit isa-isahin natin ang mga makasaysayang pamomomba sa kasaysayan sa mundo.
Boston Marathon Bombing (2013)- Casualties- 3
Iraq Shock and Awe(2003)- Casualties- 6,616
911 Attack Twin Towers only(2001)- Casualties- 2,753
Nagasaki and Hiroshima Bombing(1945)- Casualties: Hiroshma-90,000–166,000  
Nagasaki-60,000–80,000
Dresden Bombing(1945)- Casualties- 25,000
Pearl Harbor Attack(1941)- Casualties- 2,386
London Blitz(1941)- Casualties- 22,000
Source:Wikipedia
Ito nga ang ilan sa mga makasaysayang pamomomba na nangyari sa mundo, mapapansin na ang namatay sa bagong Boston Bombing ay 3 lamang, di gaya ng iba. May nagtanong kasi na reporter sa White House, na maikokonsider din ba na "act of terror" ang nangyari naman noon na airstrike sa Afghanistan. Ito nga ang kanilang usapan. Ang pangalan ng reporter ay si Amina Ismail journalist sa McClatchy.
REPORTER: I send my deepest condolence to the victims and families in Boston. But President Obama said that what happened in Boston was an act of terrorism. I would like to ask, Do you consider the U.S. bombing on civilians in Afghanistan earlier this month that left 11 children and a woman killed a form of terrorism? Why or why not?
JAY CARNEY: Well, I would have to know more about the incident and then obviously the Department of Defense would have answers to your questions on this matter. We have more than 60,000 U.S. troops involved in a war in Afghanistan, a war that began when the United States was attacked, in an attack that was organized on the soil of Afghanistan by al Qaeda, by Osama bin laden and others and more than 3,000 people were killed in that attack. And it has been the President’s objective once he took office to make clear what our goals are in Afghanistan and that is to disrupt, dismantle and ultimately defeat al Qaeda. And with that as our objective to provide enough assistance to Afghan National Security Forces and the Afghan government to allow them to take over security for themselves. And that process is underway and the United States has withdrawn a substantial number of troops and we are in the process of drowning down further as we hand over security lead to Afghan forces. And it is certainly the case that I refer you to the defense department for details that we take great care in the prosecution of this war and we are very mindful of what our objectives are.
Source:http://raniakhalek.com/2013/04/17/reporter-asks-white-house-if-u-s-airstrikes-that-kill-afghan-civilians-qualify-as-terrorism/
Mapapansin na iwas si Jay Carney, maligoy ang kaniyang sagot. Pero hindi yun ang punto. Ang Punto ay, Amerika man, o Al Qaeda, ang may gawa, kahit na China o North Korea o Iran, kaunti o marami man ang namatay, basta ang katahimikan ay nagulo, ikaw man ang nauna, o ikaw ang gumaganti, pareho lang yan ACT OF TERROR!

THE WRONG IN PHILIPPINE POLITICS

Eleksyon na mga kababayan, may iboboto ka na ba? Sino-sino sila?
Lagi namang ganoon walang nangyayari kahit sino manalo, si Tarpulano man o si Procopio. Ano ba ang dapat gawin sa sistema ng pulitika ng Pilipinas. Ito nga ang mga inaakala kong mga solusyon sa mga problemang pulitikal ng bansa.
I. DESTROY POLITICAL DYNASTIES
Isa nga sa mga mali ng political system natin ay ang napakaraming political dynasties. Ngunit may argumento sila na ibinoboto naman sila ng mga tao. Papaano silang hindi iboboto eh walang choice. Sila-sila lang rin ang nagpapalitan. Ngunit sa kasamaang palad ay walang provision sa batas na nagbabawal sa mga politika. Papaano nga masusolusyonan ito simple lang. Pagbawalan sa batas na tumakbong sabay-sabay ang mga magkakamag-anak na malapit up to the 10th degree kung maaari. At barred tumakbo ang kamag-anak matapos ang termino ng isang pultiko ng isang termino.
II. TANGGALIN ANG PONDO SA LEGISLATIVE
Isa sa dahilan ng korapsyon sa Pilipinas ay ang Priority Development Assistance Fund(PDAF) o mas kilala sa tawag na pork barrel. Hindi nga dapat para sa akin na ang mga legislator na humawak ng pondo. Hayaan na lamang sa Executive ang pondo. Ano ngayon ang magiging trabaho ng legislative? Taga-gawa ng batas, Taga-harang at Taga-apruba ng pondo na hinihiling ng executive para sa kaniyang project. Minsan kasi may project si executive, may project din si legislator magkakontra, na minsan ay dahilan pa ng away. Ngayon kung gusto niya pa rin magpa-project ay sarili niyang pera. Hindi para pag-laanan pa siya ng pamahalaan ng pera ng pamahalaan. Bigyan lamang siya ng nauukol na sweldo. Pero pondo huwag na. Nalalaman ng lahat kung saan napupunta ang iba. Napakarami sanang pera ng Pilipnas, kaso na sa Kongreso at Senado lang, hindi pa kasali ang board member, konsehal, kagawad na may pondo rin. Dapat talaga na sa executive ang pera. Legislators should have powers but not funds.
III. PAHABAIN ANG TERMINO
Sa papaanong paraan nga pahahabain ang termino. Dati nga ay naisip ko ay ipareha sa Amerika, 2 term ang Pangulo 6 year per term. Kung incumbent naman ang tatakbo, once he runs and not able to win the elections, his/her suppose second term is already consumed if President siya. Ngunit may mas naisip akong mas maganda. Kapareho lang ng dati ngunit gagawing times two, papaano yun? Yung dating 6 years gagawing 12 years, at ang dating 3 years ng local ay gagawing 6 years. Bakit nga pahahabain? Dahil na-oobserbahan ko kauupo pa lang, iniintindi na ang sususnod na eleksyon, dahil sa ikli ng panahon. At dahil din sa kaiklian ng panahon ay mas kakaunti rin ang nagagawa kung meron man sa lokal at national. At kung mahaba rin ang termino ng pulitiko tiyak sa tagal ay mga mas bago na ang papalit. Makakita tiyak ng pagbabago.
IV. ELEKSYON
Sa eleksyon ay meron akong dalawang punto.
   POINT A. Survey
Hindi nga dapat magkaroon ng survey sa kahit anomang paraan sa panahon ng eleksyon, nagsisilbing mind conditioning sa mga tao. Hayaan na makaman ang katotohanan sa halalan na lang.
   POINT B. Privacy
Nakita ko nga sa Amerika, sa TV, tuwing eleksyon nila ay may private booth tuwing eleksyon. Sa atin walang ka-privacy-privacy. May nakita ako nung bumoto ako, nagkokopyahan. At maaari itong makita nung mga alagad nung pulitiko. Gaya nung nangyari dito sa amin. Yung isang pulitiko may scholarship program, tumakbo sa isang posisyong lokal. Nalaman na yung ibang nakikinabang sa kaniyang scholarship, ay ibinoto yung kabila, tinanggalan ng scholarship, eh college. Dapat talaga may privacy, para huwag mangyari ang gaya nito.
Ito po yung mga mali at ang mga kaakibat nitong solusyon sa pulitika ng ating bansa.

GRADUATION DAY, AFTER THIS WHAT?

Ang litrato nga na inyong nakikita sa itaas ay mula sa graduation ng isang kaibigan. Ang paksa nga ng post na ito ay tungkol sa mga graduates
Graduate ka na nga, may trabaho ka ba pagkatapos nito? Oh magiging MASSCOM ang marami sa atin, na sa madaling salita ay mas com portable sa bahay? Iyan nga ho ang naghihintay na hinaharap sa marami sa mga ga-graduate ngayong taong ito.
Bakit nga nagkakaganoon ang marami sa atin, ako man ay matagal ding natambay matapos grumaduate sa aking kursong tinapos. Iisahin ko nga ang mga inaakala kong mga dahilan ng pagkatengga ng maraming graduates. Ito nga ang siyam:
1. Ine-enjoy ang bakasyon.
2. Mahiyain, takot sa interview rin.
3. Choosy at demanding kaya walang tumatanggap, hindi naman maganda ang credentials as student.
4. Walang backer.
5. Mali ang umpisa. Yung kursong kinuha hindi akma sa napapanahong mga trabaho. Na minsan ay kasalanan din ng mga eskwelahan at ng CHED.
6. Ang gustong kunin ay ang pinagtaposang kurso, na dahil mali nga ang umpisa, ay walang makuha.
7. Tamad din kasi.
8. Hindi kaagad naghanda bago pa man grumaduate. Meron kasi naghahanap na ng trabaho bago pa man grumaduate
9. Hindi din kasi pinag-igi, o nagpasikat nung OJT days niya, na isa sana sa maaaring kumuha sa kaniya
Hindi po siya according to rank. Iyon lang po ang pumasok sa aking isip.

LOLONG DEAD

The World's Largest Crocodile in captivity, Lolong, died on Sunday, February 10, 2013, 8:12 pm according to information on Yahoo.
Sinasabi rin nga sa information sa Yahoo, and I quote:
"The reason for the keepers' call to Collantes has not been given, nor has Lolong's cause of death been determined."
Bagaman hindi pa nga nalalaman ang dahilan ng pagkamatay ni Lolong, ako ay may hinala na kung bakit, at ang hinala ko nga ay makikita sa pictures na ito.
Simple lang ang dahilan sa hinala ko. Nilamig po si Lolong. Ang alam ko po sa reptiles ay sila ay cold-blooded animals, mas kailangan po nila ang init kaysa lamig. Sa laki ni Lolong ay tiyak ay mahirap mapainit ang kaniyang buong katawan ng kailangan niyang init. Una ko pa lang nakita yung pambabasa sa buwaya, ay nasabi ko na mali ito, may automatic pa pala na sprinkler. At tsaka yung init, yun din ata ay nakakatulong sa digestion ng mga buwaya. Kaya nga nabalita rin noon na si Lolong ay tumatanggi sa pagkain, ito nga ay ayon din sa GMA.
Hindi pa po ako nakakapunta sa isang crocodile park, pero nakapunta na ako ng Manila Zoo, wala po akong nakikitang pambabasa mga buwayang nandoon. Malakas talaga ang hinala ko na lamig ang kinamatay ni Lolong. Sayang at hindi ko po man din ito nakikita ng personal.

CHIANG KAI SHEK, WHAT IF?

What if that picture is still on Beijing up to this day. Would we have a problem?
Siya nga si Chiang Kai Shek, the vanquish in the Chinese Civil War, against the communist, led by his arch-nemesis Mao Zedong. Bagaman siya ang talunan sa giyera, si Chiang Kai Shek ay isang mahalagang bahagi ng kasaysayan. Para nga malaman ang kaniyang kahalagahan, magtatanong tayo ng what if? Although there is a saying that goes like this, " Their are no ifs in history" because history is irreversible.
Ang unang tanong. What if kung hindi natalo ang KMT(Kuo Ming Tang) laban sa CPC(Communist Party of China). Sa China lang ay malaki na ang epekto, hindi sana nangyari ang malaking famine na kumitil ng 76 million sa loob ng tatlong taon, dahil sa Great Leap Forward, ni Mao. Bagaman ang istilo ng pamumuno ni Chiang Kai-shek is somehow fascist like style, he starts industrializing China, only the war halted it and the fall to the Communists and Mao's chaotic regime.
And the Tibetan question, would they have been still part of China? Yes, they have been part of China before, only that after the defeat of Chiang Kai Shek's forces, they separated from China, maybe because they don't like communism, because it is anti-religion, and Tibet is a religious land. Only that China invaded them again. They would have been part of China without bloodshed and grudges, unlike today.
Internationally speaking naman, may impact rin ba ang sana'y pananatili ni Chiang Kai-Shek? It would have save the world and mainly the United States of America from two major 20th century wars, the Vietnam and the Korean War, I presume. Chiang Kai-Shek, is an ally of the United States. Joseph Stalin might think twice of giving a go signal to North Korea to invade the south. Those were the story then, that Stalin give his blessing to North Korea to attack. Korea then will be unified, into the Democratic fold.
And as for Vietnam, China is one of their major supporters, supplies comes and goes through China from the Soviet Union. If Chiang Kai Shek is the leader, there will be no route for the Soviet Union to supply the North Vietnamese. And eventually I believe they will be defeated.
As for the Soviet Union and the United States, United States will dominate Asia. Soviet Union will be surrounded, will not have the buffer zones like China. United States will have more power over the Soviets. The Cold War will be shorter. And the United will have a longer reign as a sole world superpower, unlike now the time is running out for America, because of China.
For the Philippines, we would have lesser problems in the South China Sea I presume. That's how important Chiang Kai Shek. Sad thing is it is only a what if. A threat of authoritarian country becoming a superpower is very imminent. Good thing is America is still here to balance the power, but as I said the time is running out. Hope that America could find a time stopper, or transfer her power to counter balance China. But again, if their is a transfer, America is not to decide it.

CHINA, THE NEW SUPERPOWER?

Isa nga ito sa mga claim ng China, turing, at bansag ng ibang mga bansa sa kanila, the New Superpower. Ngunit may iba akong pananaw tungkol sa bagay na ito.
Na-achieve na nga ba ng China ang kalagayang pagiging Superpower Nation?Para sa kin ay hindi pa. Bakit? Ito base lang naman sa kasaysayan din. Ang Soviet Union bago ang Ikalawang Digmaang Pandaigdig, ay ang noo'y World's Largest Army, ngunit hindi pa rin sila considered superpower. Only after the war that they are consider as superpower.
Ganito nga ang kalagayan ng China ngayon, ang World's Largest Army. numbering a 2 million plus soldiers. Pero may achievement na ba ang malaking army na ito? Isang digmaan na stalemate ang kinalabasan(Korean War), at sa digmaang ding iyon ay tinalo pa sila sa isang labanan ng napakaliit, batallion nga lang ng Philippine Army na ipinadala ni Pres. Quirino, at ang nakakatuwa yung kakaunting ipinadalang iyon, eh kakaunti pa ang casualty. Samantalang kalaban ay libo-libo.
Ito nga ay para sa akin ang batayan ng pagiging isang superpower na bansa. Una malaking army and well equipped, ikalawa ay powerful weaponry, ikatlo ay malakas at malaking ekonomiya, at ikaapat ay world Influence and control.
Sa akin ngang apat na batayan ng pagiging superpower, hindi pa lahat ay kuha ng China. Totoo na malakas at malaki ang ekonomiya ng China. Totoo rin na ang China ay may malaking army, pinakamalaki sa buong mundo. Ngunit hindi pa nila nakukuha ang dalawa sa essential sa aking apat na batayan. Ang powerful weaponry, na kahit kailan man sa paniwala ko ay hindi na makukuha sa Estados Unidos, dahil sa kanilang patuloy na pag-uupgrade at paglilihim din dito. Maliban na lamang kung maungusan sila ng Germany.
At ang pinaka-importante sa lahat ay ang influence at control sa mundo. Hindi nga ito mangyayari sa kalagayan ng China ngayon. Bakit? Dahil napakarami nilang kaaway. Philippines firstly, Japan, India, Vietnam. Maging sa mga nabasa ko, pati pala North Korea, na kinikilala nilang ally, binubully din nila sa teritoryo. at pati ang Russia, na isang dating superpower, at di rin naman maikakaila ang lakas militar ay inaaway nila sa teritoryo.
Ang pagkakaroon ng napakaraming kaaway ang pumigil sa Nazi Germany, at maging sa Soviet Union, upang maging tuluyang superpower ng matagal na panahon.
At kung sakali naman na marating na ng China ang kalagayang ito, ay hindi pa rin marapat silang tawagin na New Superpower, dahil dati na silang superpower, noong ancient times, they conquer almost 1/4 of the world. Ang marapat na tawag sa kanila ay the Comeback Superpower. And as of this moment, the still no. 1 undisputed superpower is the United States, although the power is deteriorating.

DO THEY HAVE THE RIGHT?

The post intention is not to uplift the actions done by the Nazis.
The Nazis are condemn worldwide for their actions, particularly the Holocaust. They kill of what they believe anyone who is inferior to the Germanic-Aryan race, most particularly the Jews.
One of those who condemn the Nazis is the Catholic Church, on the notion that they suffer on the persecutions perpetrated by the Nazis. The question is, Is the Catholic Church, have the moral ascendancy to condemn the Nazis about the Holocaust?
The picture above shows, that the late Catholic Pope, Pope John Paul II begs forgiveness, for the sins of the Church, and for the 300,000 people burned at stake in the Inquisition.
Inquisition, rhymes with the term, The Final Solution. They are not different because it is mass systematic liquidation of people, that dont agree with them. With the Catholic Church, their faith.
One of the similarities of both the Final Solution and Inquisition, is they are both anti-semitic. One of the targets of both Spanish and Portuguese Inquisition are the Jews.
The figures 300,000, I believe is what the Pope only can recall, and the burned ones. What about the ones who died of tortures, to extract confessions from them. And others, killed by other means. And because long scope of time by the Inquisition, I believe that the mass murders commited by Hitler, Stalin, and Mao Zedong combined, cannot surpassed the real numbers of the victims of the Inquisition.
I said it because the scope of time of the Inquisition is very long, whereas the Nazis, Stalin and Mao's reign are only decades. And they are four kinds Inquisition. The Medieval, Spanish, Portuguese, and the Roman Inquisition which counts centuries in reign.
Kaya ang mga Katoliko ngayon, na nagsasabi pag naaatake ang kanilang maling paniniwala ay walang pakialaman. Kayo ang unang nakialam sa pananampalataya ng iba, wala kayong karapatan magsabi niyan. Buti nga kami sinasabi lang namin ang aming pinaniniwalaan na mali sa inyo. Kayong mga Katoliko, yung mga pinaniniwalaan niyong mali, inuusig niyo sinusunog niyo sa apoy.
Ang relihiyon ay hindi ipinipilit sa tao, ang tanging magagawa lang natin. Kung nakikita nating mali ang isa ay I-warn, I-inform. Pero ang pasya ay nasa tao. Huwag nating pilitin kung ayaw, huwag ring patayin.

CHINA & NAZI GERMANY

History is an important subject of life, because those who don't learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.
Isang pagkukumapara nga ang gagawin ko ngayon sa pagitan ng bansang China, at isang fallen Empire, ang Nazi Germany. May pagkaka-pareho ba sila? ating alamin.
Germany is an old empire, defeated, at pinagtulong-tulongan ng maraming bansa noong WW1, at bumangon uli para maging Nazi Germany sa pamumuno ni Hitler. Ganoon din naman ang China, isa nga sa pinakamatandang civilization sa mundo, at naghari rin halos 1/4 ng mundo sa loob ng mahabang panahon. Pero pag-angat ng mga makapangyarihang bansa sa Europa, ay hindi ito nakasabay. Kinamkam nga nila ang ibang teritoryo ng China. Sumali pa nga ang Japan sa pagkamkam noong 1900's. Ngunit sa pagtatapos ng WW2, at sa paglaganap ng komunismo doon, at sa pamumuno ni Deng Xiaoping, ang China ay muling bumangon upang makarating sa kalagayan nito ngayon.
Sa attitude naman pagdating sa teritoryo, ay tila may pagkakapareho bagamat magkaiba. Ang Nazi Germany ay ginamit na alibi ang mga German speaking people ay kailangan i-unite sa Germany, upang makakamkam ang Austria, at Czechoslovakia. ang iba naman ay kinuha by force, gaya ng sa Rhineland, at ang France ay hindi lamang lumaban.
Ang China naman ay gumagamit din ng alibi, napakaraming alibi. Nine-dash line. Kesho parte raw ng kanilang imperyo nila noong unang panahon pa, atbp. At mayroon din silang kinuha by force. Yung awayan nila ng Vietnam sa Paracel Islands noong 1974, pinaputukan nga nila ang Vietnam noon, at kinuha ang mga isla.
Pati sa kakampi ay matulungin din kapwa ang Nazi Germany at ang China. Tinulungan nga ng Nazi Germany rin noon ang revolution ni Franco sa Espańa,(hindi nga ang sa Maynila)at naging pasistang bansa ang Espańa. Maging ang Italya ay tinulungang maigi ng Nazi Germany hanggang sa katapusan ng digmaan.
Ang China ay ganoon din, tinutulungan nga nila ngayon ang Cambodia sa pamamagitan ng pag-aarmas dito, dahil may territorial dispute ito sa Thailand. Isa rin sa tinulungan ng China ang North Korea, na nagresulta sa stalemate ng digmaan, at ang tuluyang pagkakahati ng dalawang Korea. Kaya mali na sabihin na ang US ang dahilan ng pagkakahati ng dalawang Korea, gaya ng paninisi ng mga North Korean. Dalawang bansa, ang may kasalanan diyan, ang isa ay Japan, at ang isa ay China. Ngunit ang pinakamatagumpay na tinulungan ng China ay ang North Vietnam noon, Humantong nga ito sa unification ng Vietnam into a Communist State. 
Isang pagkakapareho ng dalawang bansang ito, ay ang pagpapanggap na tila api sa harap ng mundo, ngunit sa katotohanan ay hindi ganoon. Gaya ng Germany sa Poland, parang China lang sa Pilipinas, sinasabing ang Pilipinas pa ang nangbu-bully sa kanila, na isang bintang na malabo pa sa kanal na kinalaykaykay ng sampung baklang baliw na unggoy.
Ngunit may isa pang pangyayari sa Nazi Germany, na hindi pa nangyayari sa China sa kasalukuyan. That is the Poland incident. It may be the starting point of war victory of the Nazis, but it also the start of the turning of the world opinion against them, making the European powers to go against them, and America and the Soviet Union and ultimately to there defeat and demise.
And if China wont learn from history, and goes the way the Nazis go, they will meet their own Poland, and you know what will happen next.

THE CONFLICT THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN SOON

Kung mahilig ka makibalita tungkol sa mga pangyayari sa dispute tungkol sa South China Sea, at nakilike ka sa mga anti-China pages, ay makikita mo ang isang post, na may titulong "WHY CHINA IS AFRAID OF MILITARY CONFRONTATION WITH USA". Ang kanilang paliwanag naman ay totoo, na nakafocus doon ang technological supremacy ng mga weapons ng United States against China.
Ngunit tanungin naman natin, bakit ayaw naman ng US din ng konprontasyon sa China? Ito nga ay dahil sa malaking utang noong panahon ni Bush ng US sa China. Ito nga ang nagiging deterrent sa kanila upang kalabanin ang China.
Ngunit naniniwala ako na ayaw ng parehong bansa ang gulo, because if they would clash, it will only mean one thing, WORLD WAR.
Kung one on one ang magiging labanan, ay hindi pa rin malinaw kung sino ang mananalo, malinaw ang technological supremacy ng US laban sa China, ngunit ang China naman ang may largest army in the world.
Para nga maintindihan niyo ang ibig ko ipahiwatig, ay babalik tayo sa kasaysayan. Nazi Germany, has the technological supremacy over the Soviets, but the Soviets has the numbers in terms of soldiers, and who won the war? The Soviets.
Yun nga ay kung one on one, but one on one is not reality. There will be always allies. And the United States has a lot of allies, most of them of them are powerful allies, like France, Britain, Germany, South Korea, and one that has conflicts too with China, Japan and many countries. China has one well known ally, North Korea. Cambodia as well maybe an ally. Vietnam is an ally before, but they have have clash with China, because of territorial disputes, and I dont know. if they will be still.
Russia is still a question mark, Putin as its PM, and China has too border disputes with them. And of whom will Russia sides, will be the winner of the war in the numbers game.
Ganoon nga kagulo ang magiging gulo na ito kung mangyayari, at sana nga ay hindi ito mangyari sa ating panahon. Dahil ang giyera ay mas matinding kalamidad kaysa bagyo at lindol. Ang lindol at bagyo ay oras/minuto/segundo lang itinatagal, samantalang ang digmaan ang tao ang magpapasya kung kailan titigil.

THE GUN QUESTION

United States and the Philippines, malayong-malayo ang diperensya sa isa't-isa. Ang Amerika ay isa sa pinakama-uunlad na bansa, habang ang Pilipinas ay isa naman sa papa-unlad na bansa. Maging sa isyu ng demokrasya, malayong-malayo pa ang Pilipinas, sa Amerika.
Ngunit nagkakalapit nga ang dalawang bansa na isang karagatan ang layo sa isa't-isa sa isang isyu. Ito nga ang isyu ng  gun ownership and control, dahil sa mga sunod-sunod na pangyayari na may kinalaman sa baril.
Nitong July 20, 2012 lamang, ay isang James Holmes ang namaril sa isang sinehan sa Colorado, kung saan palabas noon ang pelikulang "The Dark Knight Rises". 12 ang patay, at 58 ang sugatan, o injured. Nahuli nga siya at kasalukuyang nakakulong na.
Nitong December 14, 2012 naman, ay naganap ang isang massacre sa Newtown, Connecticut. Walang awang pinatay ang 20 estudyante at anim na mga matatanda na kinabibilangan ng mga guro at magulang sa Sandy Hook Elementary School. Si Adam Lanza, ang nagsagawa ng pagpatay, ay natagpuang patay katabi ng kaniyang baril, na pawang matataas ang kalibre.
Nito namang New Year, sa Pilipinas, ay tinamaan ng ligaw na bala si Stephanie Nicole Ella, isang inosenteng bata. Di nga nagtagal ay pumanaw ito. Ang salarin ay hindi pa nahuhuli.
At nitong January 4, 2013, isang massacre ang nangyari sa brgy Tabon 1, Kawit Cavite. Pito ang patay, kabilang ang dalawang bata at isang buntis. Napatay naman si Ronald Bae, ang nagsagawa ng pagpatay, ng mga awtoridad. Si John Paul Lopez, ang sinasabing nagre-reload sa killer ay sumuko, at sinampahan ng patong-patong na kaso.
Bagaman may parehong isyu, ay magkaiba ang approach ng dalawang lider ng dalawang bansang ito. Malakas nga ang public opinion sa America na magkaroon ng total gun ban, maliban sa mga uniformed personnels gaya ng pulis at militar, at tila si Obama ay ganoon din ang pananaw. Malakas din naman ang panawagan sa Pilipinas, ngunit dahil ang Pangulong Aquino ay isang gun enthusiast, ay tutol siya dito. Nabulalas niya nga ito matapos ang isang insidente ng shoot-out diumano sa Atimonan, Quezon, kung saan siya ay nagpahayag sa duda na shoot-out ito, at tanungin tungkol sa posibilidad ng total gun ban.
Kung ako naman ang tatanungin. Hindi maaaring mawala ang baril. Pero sa isyu ng kung sino lamang ang hahawak, ay mahirap sagutin. Madali pa ngang sagutin kung alin ang tunay na relihiyon sa mundong ibabaw, kesa sa naunang tanong.
Bakit ko nasabi? Natutuwa din kasi ako sa idea na walang baril kundi sa mga awtoridad lamang. Ngunit sa klase ng awtoridad sa Pilipinas, eh mapapaisip ka. At saka paano kung isang gaya nila James Holmes ang maupo, at maging tyrant. At magpatay ng tao. Then being gunless society will be non-sense, because extreme tyranny, will always lead to revolution, maiging-maigi kung peaceful. At pagkatapos ng revolution, laging magulo, matagal pang dumadating ang kaayusan.
Hindi naman imposible ang sinabi ko. Ang Libya, nagkaroon ng Gaddafi, ang Syria, ay may Assad, ang Russia may Joseph Stalin, pawang mga lider na loko-loko at lumaban sa kanilang tao.
Magulo nga ang topic na ito, ako man naguluhan din.

WORTHY OF RESPECT

Ito ngang post na ito ay transcript ng Itanong Mo Kay Soriano Biblia ang Sasagot, na sumasagot sa tanong sa topic about respect of faith. It is a response to those comments, respect of belief, kaniya-kaniyang paniniwala lang. Now you may know why we attack wrong beliefs like that of the atheist, and that you may renew your vision about faith and belief. Here is the video and its transcript.
Nagtatanong: Ang itatanong ko po, kung bakit po ba sa panahong ito ay dumarami ang relihiyon, at sa pagdami po nitong, nagkakaroon ng parang away-away po?

Bro. Eli: Hindi parang away-away yun, talagang away yun.

Nagtatanong: Opo

Bro. Eli: Meron nga sa relihiyon, pumapatay pa eh! May mga relihiyon pumapatay pa dahil sa away na yan eh! Kami lang naman yata ang ano eh, nag-iingat na pumatay at gumawa ng masama sa kapwa eh, yung ibang relihiyon mamamatay tao eh, ang mga miyembro, pumapatay talaga! Na, Nakasulat na yan sa kasaysayan ng bansang Pilipinas, meron talagang pumapatay, eh ang turo kasi nung ministro, pag ipinagtanggol mo yung sugo, kahit makamatay ka ligtas ka pa rin eh! Di ba ganun ang turo ng mga ministro nila, kaya, meron talagang away, ngayon ano ang tanong mo kapatid?

Nagtatanong: Ayun po, Di po ba mas maganda kung magkaroon na lang po ng kaniya-kaniyang respeto sa paniniwala?

Bro. Eli: Respeto!

Nagtatanong: Opo

Bro. Eli: Ay masamang respetuhin yung mali! Masama yun! Alam mo kasi, Tignan ninyo mga kababayan ha. Maganda ang layunin mo kapatid, nakikita ko yung puso mo, maganda, malinis ano, pero, mag-iinject ako sa iyo ng diwa galing sa Dios, hindi galing sa akin, ako rin ganoon eh. Nung bata akong maliit, ayaw ko ng gulo, nung ako'y tumanda ayaw ko ng away. Hindi ako nakikipag-away, o hindi nakikipag-usap sa mga umpok-umpok. Dahil yung mga pinag-uusapang kayabangan, ayaw ko nun eh. Mas gusto ko pang magbasa, mag-aral kaysa makipagkwentuhan doon sa mga kababata ko. Yun ang naranasan kong pagkabata eh. Pero ang isang ayoko yung, may kokontrahin ako, o may aawawyin ako, o kaya eh di ko sasang-ayunan, ayaw ko nun. Pero nung matuto ako nung Biblia, naiba pagkakilala ko sa buhay. Pag walang kokontra sa mali, lahat ng tao, maniniwala sa mali! Tandaan niyo yan. Ngayon, ano batayan ko, na masama na yung mali, eh hindi mo kokontrahin, bakit ganoon? Bakit ko sinasabi yon? Pag mali dapat punahin, pag mali dapat sawayin, pag mali dapat pigilan. Kasi sabi ng Dios eh, 3:10 ng Tito, pakinggan mo.

Tagabasa: TITO 3:10 Ang taong may maling pananampalataya pagkatapos nang una at ikalawang pagsaway ay itakuwil mo; 

Bro. Eli: Ipinapasaway ba yung mali?

Sis. Luz: Pinapasaway.

Bro. Eli: Sabi nga ng Dios, pag mali ang pananampalataya ng tao, sinaway mo nang una, sinaway mo na ikalawa, itakwil mo na, bayaan mo na siya, gago siya eh. Ayaw niya ng tama, gusto niya mali eh, pero ipinapasaway ng Dios, sawayin mo, papaano sasawayin? 1:13 ng Tito

Tagabasa: TITO 1:13 Ang patotoong ito ay tunay. Dahil dito’y sawayin mong may kabagsikan sila, upang mangagpakagaling sa pananampalataya, 

Bro. Eli: Kita mo. Ito ba haka-haka ko kapatid? Gusto ng Dios ito. Pag mali ang pananampalataya, sawayin mong may kabagsikan sila! Siguro nang sabihin ng Dios yan, di naman nya sinabi na (gentle way)sawayin mong may kabagsikan sila. Sabi, sawayin mong may kabagsikan sila, upang magpakagaling sa pananampalataya.

Gusto mong gumaling ang tao? Pag mali sawayin mo. Ngayon kung gusto niyang pasaway, o ayaw niyang pasaway, bahala siya, meron talagang pasaway. Pero tungkulin mo kung mangangaral ka na sumaway, basa 2 Timoteo 4:2

Sis. Luz: II TIMOTEO 4:2 Ipangaral mo ang salita; magsikap ka sa kapanahunan, at sa di kapanahunan, sumawata ka, sumaway ka,...

Bro. Eli: Oh kita mo, utos ng Dios sa mangangaral yan, sumawata ka, sumaway ka, Oh eh pag sumasaway ba mali? Eh bakit hindi na lang natin igalang ang pananampalataya ng isa't isa? Eh kung mali bakit ko igagalang? Ibig mo sabihin, ang paniniwala mo si Cristo tao ha, tapos sasabihin ko, ginagalang ko yan Amen, ganoon ba? Pag sinabi mo si Cristo tao, sisigaw ako, hindi tao si Cristo, kundi nagkatawang tao. Yun ang sasabihin ko. Mag-uumpisa na ang labanan, bakit? Eh gusto ng Dios na ganoon eh, para ang tao mailigtas sa mali, ganoon yun. Eh kung ako makikipagkaibigan lang, eh di hindi na ko magsasalita. Pero hindi ako naparito para makipagkaibigan kahit kanino. Kahit magalit kayong lahat sa akin, sasabihin ko yung ipinasasabi ng aking Dios na kinikilalang nasa langit. Kailangan yun kapatid. Kailangan po yun.

Nagtatanong: Salamat po, Bro Eli.

Bro. Eli: Salamat din po, sana naintidihan nyo punto ko.

MY REPOST, OF A POST, OF A BLOGGER

I hope it is not plagiarism, this post was a post by a writer/blogger CEMANES Writes published in 2009. My intention of copying/reposting this is not to plagiarize, but to spread the word it contains for the info of my readers who may not encounter this before.

Central in Apalit of Ang Dating Daan vs. Central in Diliman of Iglesia Ni Cristo, Not a Coincidence But Preordained

Published by rqcemanes in Religion on July 27, 2009 

This is a theory for your impression and wise comprehension. First of all the author of this philosophy cautions everyone not to be critical of what they come across in taking time to read this piece of write-up, instead to be more logical and rationale for raison d’etre, is the beginning of wisdom and deeper understanding of doctrines, facts and circumstances surrounding a Christian’s life.

The author would like to give the readers a panorama of what is Central in Apalit and Central in Diliman:

*Central in Apalit of the Ang Dating Daan (ADD)

This is the Convention Center of the Members Church of God International (MCGI), popularly known as Ang Dating Daan (ADD). It is the place where they hold Thanksgiving to God, various activities and very important events in their congregation. The Presiding Minister of MCGI is Bro. Eliseo F. Soriano and the Vice-Presiding Minister is Bro. Daniel S. Razon. It is located in the heart of the Municipality of Apalit, Pampanga, where majority of the residents of this place are poor families.

*Central in Diliman of the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC)

This is the Central Office of the Church of Manalo, popularly known as Iglesia ni Cristo (INC). The owners of this Church are the Manalo family, a corporation sole, now headed by Mr. Eranio Manalo. It is located in Diliman, along Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City, where majority of the residents of this place are rich, educated, famous politicians and businessmen as shown by the facts in the records of the Mayor’s Office of Quezon City, called as the wealthiest City in the Philippines for having the highest collection of taxes.

Definition of Terms

1.Apalit

A word idem sonans or same sounding with “Up-A-Lit”. “Up” means of a high level or heavenly as people points their fingers up, whenever they want to declare something higher/heavenly. “A-Lit” is “a light”, connotes brightness related to heaven or heavenly bodies like the sun, moon and the stars and the shining armor of God.

2.Diliman

This is taken from the root word “dilim”, a Tagalog or Pilipino term referring to darkness/night. Diliman means in English as dark place or place of darkness. Darkness is descriptive of a place where there is no light but total darkness.


The Theory


Having defined the significant terms of this article, we can now explore in our minds supported with the succeeding facts and circumstances how this author arrived at the theory that the places where the two “Centrals” of two opposing religious organizations, the Members Church of God International (MCGI) or popularly known as “Ang Dating Daan” (ADD), in english The Old Path (TOP) and the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC), in this end times where situated, are not just a coincidence but preordained.

Facts and Circumstances

These two religious organizations are exactly opposite from each other in many ways, such that, one can be accepted as “from the light” and the other one as “from darkness.” As the succeeding facts and circumstances will be presented to the readers, we will use ADD and INC to shorten the presentation as we go further in our discussions. To enumerate the basis of this author, among others, the following are the most apparent and pragmatic comparison based on notorious facts, actual research, interviews and observations, to wit:

God vs. Man

The Central in Diliman, INC for short, believes that Jesus Christ is just a man. On the other hand, the Central in Apalit, ADD for short, believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, thus, Jesus is a God and not just a man.

Physical vs. Spiritual Lavishness

Apparently, the INC is wealthy as manifested by their luxurious and grandiose places of worship and residential buildings for free occupancy by their workers and church officers not to mention the sumptuous palace where the Manalo’s are comfortably residing and not that visible to the public view

On the other hand, the ADD place of worship is an unfinished building or edifice. For a long time already, it remains unfinished due to scarcity of funds. Their Locales or places of worship are mere rented humble spaces, comparable during the times of Jesus Christ where in order to meet the apostles and their followers, most of the times they gather in rented spaces or even just stay outside, under the heat of the sun because they have no money and permanent places to go or lay their heads.

Holy Supper

The INC celebrates their Holy Supper in the morning, whereas, ADD celebrates theirs in the evening, as to what the word supper connotes which should be after dusk or after sunset or end of the day and as what the Scriptures dictates

Treatment for Non-members

The INC believes that non-members of their church are already destined or bound to go to hell. Whereas, the ADD believes that non-members are dependent for the mercy of God’s justice. Thus, they are not necessarily bound to go to hell but will still have hope for God’s mercy.

Characters of members

In the INC, once a person becomes a member, they stop being merciful, instead their characters are worsened, becomes more proud, cruel and unsympathetic. However, in the ADD group, once a person becomes a member, they become merciful, charitable and reformed true Christian, in words and in deeds.

Killing for the Church vs. Dying for the Church

Records show that there are lots of cases decided by the Supreme Court and published in the broadsheets, tabloids or local newspapers showing that some members and ministers of the INC are killing and committing various heinous crimes, harassments and persecutions against non-members of their church, including ADD workers and members. However, the ADD members and ministers are the ones being killed or murdered, harassed, persecuted and even exiled because of plots to kill and always encounters danger to their lives and limbs where the INC executioners are determined to do harm to the brethren of the ADD group.

Rich vs. Poor

The Central in Diliman is a very wealthy organization which can be likened to Egypt in the times of Moses, while the Central in Apalit is a very poor organization with so many debts and obligations to finance their propagation by spreading the Words of God through the media and Bible Expositions. Almost 99% of the membership of the CGI comes from the poorest of the poor, reminiscent of the Israelites, the slaves of the Egyptians before, but they are the chosen ones of God.

Buildings and structures of worship of the INC are so lavish and extravagant. On the other hand, the ADD group is so modest, likened during the times of Jesus Christ holding their meetings and church activities in humble edifices and rented places, or even in the streets.

“Beso-beso” vs. Holy Kiss

INC believes that the Holy Kiss is “beso-beso”, kissing by touching, either cheek to cheek or even with a hug or body touch. Whereas, ADD believes that the Holy Kiss is not physical but spiritual. A greeting of brotherly love where a Christian can even send his Holy Kiss to a fellow Christian, beyond borders and worldwide.

Influential vs. Insignificant

INC group is very influential and powerful to the extent of controlling the government and politicians, from the President down to the lowly policemen and rank and file government employees. On the other hand, ADD group is often treated unfairly because of their poverty and religious beliefs, their human rights are time and again violated, they are experiencing harassments and persecutions because of the dictates and insinuations of the leaders of the INC group, by using their influence, money and power. The ADD Ministers and Workers are often brought into courts to answer false and capricious accusations as it is very easy for the INC group to exercise influence peddling by using their wealth merely to persecute and harass the ADD group.

Visibility vs. Non-visibility

Leaders of the INC are not visible to the public and even to their members, whereas, the leaders of the ADD are always out and on the go, helping people physically and spiritually, propagating the Words of God, the reason why they are being haunted by the executioners of the INC for the fear of the latter, due to the dwindling or diminishing number of membership compared to the phenomenal increase of membership of the former

DEC (Decreasing) vs. ADD (Increasing)

The number of membership in the INC is apparently decreasing, hence INC is more fitting either for the word “Incomplete” or DEC for decreasing, on the other hand, the number of membership in ADD, the increase is phenomenal or extraordinary, a manifestation of divine guidance outside mere human efforts. Recently, while the ADD is gaining huge numbers of membership through mass indoctrination worldwide, baptizing thousands of new true Christians, the INC, is again at the exact opposite. In fact currently, they baptized a measly four (4) individuals in a mass indoctrination, and they were very much proud of it already.

Conclusion

Now therefore, if you have eyes, ears and other senses working, it is now high time to open it widely, then, determine for yourselves within reason that the existence in this end times of these two ever contrasting organizations, the Members Church of God International (MCGI) versus the Iglesia Ni Cristo ni Manalo (INCM), are not indeed a coincidence but strongly pre-ordained.

Take heed therefore people of the Philippines and be aware of the phenomenon in religion where this beautiful country was blessed to have been chosen by God to bear the true religion. Notwithstanding, the fact that the religion coming from darkness was also given birth here, in order to strengthen and fortify the similarity of occurrences and events that has already happened during the times of Adam and Eve and also the times of Moses, where both good and evil dwells in one place as well, where evil tries to devour the good men, but still frustratingly ended up grinding its teeth because they cannot thrive.

Be astute therefore, dear readers. It is now the peak time to exercise your intelligent judgments, and not just to sit there and prevaricate but with discernment, settle to come up with an evaluation and certitude. God Bless.
