Just so we know who should suffer the death penalty

I am for capital punishment, if only for these people. They have betrayed us, and they will continue to betray us.

After 2010 (hopefully when we have a new president, but I know I am dreaming), then we will restore the death penalty. And those who voted (see list below) for dismissing the impeachment complaint should be lined up in Luneta and shot in the head.

Wait!

That is a great insult to Rizal. These people doesn’t even deserve the gas chamber, that is too humane. They need to be cut into pieces and fed to the crocodiles. But I am not sure if the crocs will take them, even animals have taste you know. And these politicians do stench to the bones.

Are you represented by any of these bastards (and this is a very kind word for them)? Shame on you! Shame on you for not doing anything. Shame on Iloilo! I am ashamed of being Ilonggo, 4 of those who voted for dismissal are from Iloilo.

To all Ilonggos, are you proud of the people representing you? You have betrayed this country once by allowing yourself to be used by GMA in the last election (I am not sure if she cheated her way in Iloilo, or she was really voted by a lot of Ilonggos – but either way, it’s disgusting! I am not sure which of the 2 is more disgusting!) and now look at what your “elected” officials are doing in your behalf. Will you vote for them again, if there will be an election indeed?

Prove to the world that Ilonggos are wise people. Dump these stupid offcials!

Now, check out this listing from Inquirer and see for yourself how you voted (because they represent you, unless you express your opposition otherwise):

The Lion and the Lamb

Just finished watching the movie Twilight. It was in support of KaEskwela (see here). The movie was ok, but I would like to share this from the movie (not verbatim):

Edward: I feel like a lion falling in love with a lamb.
Bella: A stupid lamb.
Edward: ___ A masochist lion.

Nice! Hehehe I just doubt if indeed you can “unconditionally, irrevocably love someone,” especially someone so different from you.

Sharing the movie trailer here.

I am very angry!!!!

Today, the Committee on Justice of the Philippine’s House of Representative’s dismissed the impeachment complaint against GMA as insufficient in substance.

(You may read the news here.)

The vote was 42-8. What the hell????

Only a stupid person would think GMA is not guilty of any of the crimes enumerated in the complaint. Oh, I forgot. Maybe they are all stupid.

The report will now be forwarded to the plenary for adoption or rejection. Now we know that majority of the Committee on Justice members are stupid. Next, we will know if the entire House is composed of stupid people.

I believe only one third of the plenary is needed to transmit the complaint to the Senate. I hope this will not be reduced to a mere numbers game. Please, write your congressmen.

And finally, I would like to share this insight. With the allegations of 500,000 that was given to each of the congressmen, one is tempted to say “Mga buwaya talaga sila.”

But my friends, I agree with my friends from the Crocodile Conservation in Isabela:  
It is a great injustice to the crocodiles!

Quote of the day

I just love this quote from Friedrich Nietzsche:

“Whoever aims publicly at great things and at length perceives secretly that he is too weak to achieve them, has usually also insufficient strength to renounce his aims publicly, and then inevitably becomes a hypocrite.”

Happy Tuesday night everyone!

Future Leaders of Asia Forum

On 2008, the first Future Leaders of Asia Forum was held on January 17-19 at the Ateneo de Manila University, Quezon City, Philippines, with the theme, “Social Entrepreneurship: Developing a New Generation of Asian Leaders.” It was a project under the Ateneo School of Government, the Ramon Magsaysay Foundation, and Ashoka, which aimed to gather young leaders from different Asian countries to form a network of social entrepreneurs after being introduced to the concept. The participants were also encouraged to create their own social enterprises.

One of the successful participants was Mian Alampay. She was one of the winners of the Make It Happen! 1st Ateneo de Manila University Social Entrepreneurship Busines Plan Writing Competition that was launched during the first FLAF. Mian founded the Bright Kids Learning Center, which teaches basic arts and crafts to kids in Batasan Hills Elementary School.

Once again, on 2009, there shall be a second Future Leaders of Asia Forum, which will gather the country’s top young leaders to introduce to them social entrepreneurship and to encourage them to start their own in their localities.

The Forum’s goal is to inculcate in the minds of the young leaders that social problems can be solved in more innovative and creative ways aside from the traditional dole-out projects which are not sustainable. It also aims to empower the youth by reminding them that as early as now, they can already contribute greatly to create significant and meaningful change that can benefit the less privileged.

Recognizing the need of a sustainable environment for the future generations, the 2009 Forum’s theme shall be “Social Entrepreneurship: Employing Innovations in Pursuit of Environmental Sustainability.” The aim is to find out how social enterprises can creatively help promote and secure the Earth’s environmental sustainability.

REALITY CHECK:

I would be the luckiest person on earth if I will find someone who will satisfy all the requirements, much less someone who would be interested to apply.

I guess I would just have to accept the fact that I will grow old ALONE. Or I would just have to lower my standards? No way (or at least, NOT YET!)

Please let me know if you know someone who fits the bill.
