Is the current Philippine president Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III a great fool and troublemaker trying hard to fight the powerful China? How fool is he!

Then, it is the OFWs in China involved on drug muling were sentence to capital punishment or death sentence in China without thorough investigation if they are really involved on the allegations of drug trafficking with PNoy just smirk and do not do anything to save his/her fellow Filipinos [?](actually, he is half-Pinoy and half-Chinese) due to August 23,2011 botched rescue of the Chinese nationals which he snob to give them a consolation and public apology for their lost love ones; and hypocritically visit China for said peace talks for the Spratlys island yet China just trick him and make him dupe for China is still firm in its decision to claim the Sparatlys islands and now the Philippines suffer the consequences of the fury of China because of Noynoy who is “Noynoying” and making rounds of lies ,hypocrisy and arrogance.
The latest curse of China is damp and make it rot the Philippine bananas on the Sino port by refusing the Philippine bananas to be imported into their land; not to mention the impending war of China against Philippine due to Scarborough Shoal issue.

The president of Pilipino Banana Growers and Exporters Association which consist of 18 Mindanao company expressed dismay with the reaction of the Chinese authorities, : “..Mindanao exporters feel we are being harassed…” and state that the banana industry have lost 1 billion.

“I hope this is really not political because we are in the business. We don’t want to believe that the life of the banana industry is threatened by our country’s problem with China…”

Moreover, the Mindanao businessmen complained that their banana business should not tainted with political issue going on with China and Philippines fueled by both parties but mostly heated and intensified by the foolishness and arrogance of Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III beginning his incompetent management of the August 23, 2011 bus hostage incident which left the innocent Chinese nationals lifeless and not help and snob heartlessly by Noynoy when their families ask for consolation and justice.

The blame for Chinese bullying acts is Noynoy and the Mindanao businessmen should stop complaining regarding Chinese authorities reactions toward their banana business but rather rock the seat of presidency of Noynoy who is making troubles against China wherein China just react naturally to depend itself from stupidity of the current Philippine president, wherein the innocent Filipino citizen suffer the consequences of PNoy’s incompetent ruling and messing up with China.

How Fool is Noy is !

Has anyone knows Claudine nowadays? Since she left the TV network ABS-CBN Channel 2,her career becomes spinning down the drain up into no one already know who she is because rough times just shit(Siete)(7) her when she transfer to GMA Channel 7; from flop TV shows into rumor break-ups with her husband actor Raymart Santiago into financial bankruptcy; from her rumor return to TV network ABS-CBN Channel 2;and now into controversial heat up together with her husband Raymart Santiago with columnist Ramon Tulfo at the arrival area of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 last Sunday, May 6,2012.

The brawl started according to reports that when actress Ms. Claudine Barreto reprimanded the flight attendant of the Cebu Pacific Airlines when she found out some of her luggage were missing then she saw an unknown man taking coverage or taking pictures what was happening with her with the flight attendant while she bash loudly in front of the other passengers regarding their missing luggage which according to Ms. Barreto and her group was left or off-loaded by a personnel at Aklan airport without their consent from their Boracay trip when they arrived at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 thru Cebu Pacific Airlines.

Her husband actor Raymart Santiago or Martin Santiago in real life confronted the unknown man taking advantage of her wife bashing acts and found out to be the columnist Ramon Tulfo who happens to be on the arrival area also from his trip from Davao. According to columnist Ramon Tulfo, at first he felt pity for what happened to celebrity couple Raymart and Claudine but change his heart when he saw the tongue lashing acts of Ms. Barreto to an ordinary flight attendant and then took advantage the incident as a journalist who seeks interesting, controversial and juicy reports.

Who the first who took the punch and skirmish was not yet known for the incident is still under investigation, however, both parties blame it’s the other party who started the brawl, thus both file counter charges. Sad to say the incident was not caught by a close circuit television (CCTV) cameras according to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 manager Octavio Lina.

The incident is now the talk of the town and actress Ms. Claudine Barreto’s career just become worst because of the said incident or brawl. Her showbiz career just become more “Shit”(Siete :7) since she transfer to GMA Channel 7 for if it is not why her showbiz becomes lie low.

More unpleasant incidents involving her, her Philippine showbiz career will become doom or she will become one of the forgotten actresses on the Philippine entertainment industry.

Why does sometimes Filipinos reacts as if they are the only race being trodden down by other races in regards to working abroad and create a sympathy that OFWs are modern day Filipino heroes?
Why create a self-pitiful and poor self-image and accept the reality that if their work ethics is wrong, then it is wrong; accept it; why felt insecure?

Lately, the Philippine embassy in Washington D.C. demand public apology from council member of the District of Columbia name Marion Barry for criticizing their local hospitals for hiring Filipino nurses.

According to the report Marion Barry’s statement includes insinuation against Filipino nurses to be not trustworthy in terms of nursing patients and unprofessional in their dealings with patients and suggest that the District of Columbia should hire their own local registered nurses instead rather than hiring foreign nurses.

Barry was firm in his statement that he will not do a public apology for the Filipino nurses for he said what he utter is right and true that Asians just work to meet their American dreams and he just promote patrioticism and nationalism on his own District and his statement was taken out of context.

Here what Council member of the District of Columbia Marion Barry said: ““In fact, it’s so bad, that if you go to the hospital now, you’ll find a number of immigrants who are nurses, particularly from the Philippines. And, no offense, but let’s grow our own nurses, so that we don’t have to be scrounging around in our community clinics and other kinds of places, having to hire people from somewhere else,”

However, in contrast, Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Cuisia, states that Barry’s remarks are “intolerant” and “narrow-minded” and defended the Filipino nurses: “..“Filipino nurses are known to be competent, hardworking, caring, and possess good work ethic. These are some of the reasons why most patients prefer and trust them. Like many good citizens, they pay their taxes and contribute to the American economy..”

However, to my own opinion and experience with registered Filipino nurses, there is some part Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Cuisia’s statement which are not true. Some registered Filipino nurses are sometimes reliant to what they only learn from their courses within the University they have taken their nursing career; and lacks experience and expertise and proficiency.

So, is not only right that Filipino nurses should be criticized? It is the lacking of the Philippine government why registered Filipino nurses abroad were the eye of criticism or were malign from their foreign bosses and even on foreign community offline and online; few only are successful and commended.

Filipino Nurses should take the criticism an opportunity to work hard and be professional than cry “foul!” and lament and resent it like a little child that wears too much self-pity.

Has GMA 7, one of leading TV network in the Philippines lying all this time that they are the number one and leading TV network in the entire Philippines presenting ratings report to validate their claim of TV supremacy on Philippine Television yet they themselves claim that their net income has drop drastically from P2.82 billion in 2010 into P1.72 billion in 2011?

“Our net income took a beating..We experienced the lowest net income level, of the past 5 years in the 4th quarter of 2011..”,admitted and verified by GMA Channel 7 vice president for finance, Ronaldo P. Mastrili.

Added to that, the GMA 7 “Kapuso” chair and CEO Felipe L. Gozon is sure to sell the TV network to PLDT/Smart/Sun/TV5’s chair and CEO Manuel V. Pangilinan for P60 billion pesos but Pangilinan wants to buy the TV network between P45 billion pesos and P51 billion pesos.
Morever, GMA 7 advertising revenue has dropped into P13.08 billion pesos.

The sell of GMA 7 according to GMA Network president Gilberto Duavit Jr. is inevitable. “The is not to say that GMA 7 will not be sold, but at the moment we are presently not pursuing serious negotiations with the PLDT group because they have not offered us a price that is acceptable to our shareholders..”

But in contradictory report, GMA 7 executives says that the TV network is not for sale, however, they themselves claim that it can sold if the price is right. Therefore, GMA channel 7 is indeed for sale and GMA channel 7 is indeed lying that they rule the Philippine Televison.

For if they rule the Philippine Television how come they themselves admit that they lost revenues mostly last year and the TV network is for auction and PLDT/Smart/Sun/TV5 chair and CEO Manuel V. Pangilinan is buying the TV network for P60 billion pesos?
However, Chair and CEO of GMA 7 Atty. Felipe Gozon, said in contradictory statements regarding the report or rumor as he said though there are already some proofs that GMA 7 is ready for sale and Manuel V. Pangilinan is buying it.

“…”Out of this world naman yun…That is a very wild rumor.”

“”Kung may mag-o-offer ng P500 billion, kahit tulog ako, gisingin n’yo ako, I will sell.”

Therefore, the rumor is true that it could be the end of GMA 7 or let us see what will happen next though the TV network executives are denying it on media.

Is it right that the Consolidated Mines Inc.(CMI) president blame the lost of national government taxes to illegal mining alone in the Zambales Philippines whereas the Aquino government boast a robust government taxes through thrifting? How is that, if the Aquino government never spent much?

According to the president of the Consolidated Mines, Inc. –one of the Mining company in the Philippines –Benicio Eusebio – “The national government has lost about P10 million in tax revenues, so far, because of the illegal hauling and shipping..” and he accused the Zambales governor Hermogenes Ebdane Jr. of abusing his authority by issuing permits to small-scale mining company and according to Eusebio it is only the Department of Environment and National Resources(DENR) could issue such permit, thus he accused the Zambales governor of allowing what he so-called “illegal mining in the Sitio Coto mineral reservation.

However, the Department of Environment and National Resource (DENR) just issued a cease and desist orders (CDOs) to several small-scale miners and never file a lawsuit to the small-scale miners which the Consolidated Miners, Inc. president Benicio Eusebio complain about even the Zamboanga governor was never touched by the National government?

How can that be that one small-scale miners mining activity has affected national government budget? Has the Pinas lost taxes then?

Are end days for the Philippines? Recent report said that debris from long-range missile might fall on the Philippine territory from North Korea when it launches its missiles in the middle of April, which put worries on the Philippine government because the Philippines have no advanced capability to monitor missile and low ability to enforce a no-fly zone.

“Our radars have a very low, small window of areas that they can survey….we cannot even monitor aircraft flying over, our skies because we completely rely on commercial air traffic controllers. We don’t have an air-defense system..” Pnoy ,Honasan.

Thus, the Philippine government is asking an international help from its allied countries to prepare for the worse that the debris from a long-range missile from North Korea might incur doom on the Philippine areas of responsibility.

“..Now, we will ask those that have more extensive surveillance capabilities to be able to give us more warnings in case it really poses a danger to any of our population..We have to prepare for the worst and hope for the best…”

According to President Noy, who doesn’t want to incur panic on its people though on his speech it reflects some alarm by saying that they are doing their best to control bases and international support that has expertise that will tell what are the dangers that it might incur; “..how big an area will be affected…” and what are the possible areas that can be considered danger zones;”…how high is the probability..” of danger that will incur unto the Philippine population.

The Aquino government has urged its local disaster management department (the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council [NDRRMC]) to make the necessary preparations if some debris of the long-range missile from North Korea really might cause havoc on some areas of the Philippine territory.

But, doubly, PNoy’s National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council [NDRRMC]) has not yet proven its effectiveness on regards to disaster management which really put great worries and panic upon the Filipino people he governs.

Let’s hope for the worst to come, hopefully, it will not but sure it will?

Parents, teachers, and enrollees should not be surprise if they find some oddities on the coming school year 2012-2013, particularly, on public schools; for the Department of Education have already foretold beforehand since year 2010 about the implementation of a new enhanced basic education system on the year 2012 to reformat the old basic 10 year education system that has become ineffective nowadays in helping the graduates find a better jobs.

Actually, the Department of Education has already made a briefer of the new program on their official website to orient the public about it. Moreover, it was also reported on media and newspaper then wherein it has gain both positive and negative reactions from concerned public especially the parents and guardians that currently supports and shoulder the basic education needs of their children and pets, respectively.

This new and enhanced public curriculum that the Department of Education have plan to implement this coming school year 2012-2013 since the year 2010 is what the Department of Education called “Enhanced K+12 Basic Education Program” under the K 6-4-2 model.K+12 stands or means kindergarten plus or kindergarten, and 12 years of elementary and secondary under the K 6-4-2 structure. The K 6-4-2 structure or model according to the Department of Health “…involves kindergarten, six years of elementary education, four years of junior high school (Grades 7 to 10) and two years of senior high school intend to provide time for students to consolidate acquired academic skills and competencies…”

Though this enhanced basic education program of the Department of Education seems to be promising in regards to enhancing and putting the basic public education in the Philippines in high standard, parents, guardians, and students will still feel uncomfortable and hesitant to concur and will consequently of course resort to enroll their children on private schools instead with the accustomed 10 year basic system of education and only few will follow the new curriculum of the Department of Education given the circumstance that the Aquino administration have failed to crackdown the perceived graft and corruption in the government as it promises though showing partiality on appointing government officials and the stinking incompetency and unprofessionalism of these new government officials which PNoy have appointed.

Moreover, parents, guardians and students will always be irritated on hearing “additional two years” which they will quickly perceived to be an additional time, money, and effort which only make no any sense upon graduation in regards to finding a better paying jobs. For they will always have an impression that college education is the only key and means to have a better jobs after graduation and not additional academic units on elementary and high school.

But the Department of Education have defended their K+12 program that it will not add additional nonsense two years of as usually most parents, guardians, and students will quickly perceived and judged; rather, albeit plus two on academic units, minus two on finding a job. Or in other words, the K+12 program of the Department of Education will minimize additional two years on spending on college studies for right after a public student have graduated from the program, he or she can already find a better jobs similar to a college graduate without attending any college level of education, according to the Department of Education.

“……minus 2 instead of plus 2 for those families who cannot afford a college education but still wish to have their children find a good paying job. Right now, parents spent for at least 4 years of college to have an employable child. In our model, parents will not pay for 2 years of basic education that will give them an employable child. Ineffect, we are saving parents 2 years of expenses. The plan is not “Plus 2 years before graduation” but “Minus 2 years before work to inspire a shift in attitude that completion of high school education is more than just preparation for college but can be sufficient for a gainful employment or career..”

The Department of Education plans to alter the public perception and consciousness that diploma on High School will not yield a better and good paying job but just a preparation for a college education through their K+12 program. They aim to do this because according to the Department of Education, Philippine high school diplomas are not recognized by top universities on other countries for top foreign universities require six years of secondary education thus makes those who spend their elementary and secondary units on the public schools and even on private school with old educational system find hard to acquire scholarships abroad if perchance they wanted to apply for it.

Actually, last January 12,2012 a summit for K+12 program of the Department of Education was held at Miriam College for the preparation of the implementation of the K+12 program of the Department of Education for the coming school year 2012-2013,not only on public schools but also on private schools so that though a student is reluctant to follow the K+12 program of the Department of Education on public schools and will resort to study instead on private schools, one will not still be able to escape the K+12 program of the Department of Education.

Thus, whether parents, guardians, and students live the new curriculum of the Department of Education that will be implemented this coming school year 2012-2013, or not, one will still be force to follow and concur.

Last December last year 2011,a group of prisoners which they call themselves as ‘”political prisoners” go on hunger strike to call for president Noynoy Aquino to help them on their state and ask the president to withdraw ‘baseless charges” against them and grant them unconditional amnesty. But however, one of the spokesman of the Aquino government, Edwin Lacierda deny that there are so-called “political prisoners” in the country today which of course consequently disheartened this group of prisoners which they call themselves as “political prisoners”, saying, “…the current number of political prisoners in the country is zero…”

But they insist they are; but are they are really?

According to them most of them were falsely charged with the same charges which is the “illegal possession of explosives” wherein they were perceived as members of any active armed groups in the Philippines like the New People’s Army (NPA) or the Moros of MILF (Moro Islamic Liberation Front) or members of the Abu Sayyaf group, whereas, according to them were not true but just somewhat planted and frame-up and were arrested while doing their usual civil activities.

Therefore, if they are falsely charged to have explosives, then they are not true “political prisoners” but rather made to be like it. For if they admit they are indeed a political prisoners, they are already admitting that the charges charged upon them is indeed true and not false because a political prisoners as define is someone who is arrested and incarcerated illegally and put on unfair trial, only because one either have strong dissenting political views that has the tendency to be treasonous or someone is an accomplice of a treasonous act or have connivance and association with a political figure or political group that opposes vehemently the mainstream governance like the New People’s Army (NPA),Abu Sayaff, and MILF in the Philippines who have very strong opposite views regarding governance of the mainstream government.

Moreover, neither they are “Prisoner of Conscience(PoC)” too because they were not arrested due to their own set of belief systems either religious or political or race but according to them, they were just Falsely accused of “Baseless Charges”, thus they were arrested and incarcerated.

They should stop labeling themselves and claiming themselves to be real ‘political prisoners” and asking for unconditional amnesty if they are just falsely build up to be through false charges that will make them “political prisoners”. They should stop on repeatedly claiming and telling on the public they are political prisoners if they are indeed innocent of the false charges that insinuates them to be “political prisoners”, else they are only proving that they are guilty of the charges.

But rather, if they are indeed innocent of the charges they should seek justice and incarcerate rather the real perpetrator and criminal who falsely charged them and ask the Integrated Bar of the Philippines instead to give them a non-bias attorney that will help them in their respective case.

And they should stop knocking on the Aquino administration that shows blatant partiality and biases lately, if they want real justice.

Looks like the Aquino administration have hatch another zero or failed management again instead of gaining a star on regards to disaster management and its goal of “zero casualties” through poor preventive management of Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) and PNoy’s National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) to prevent the disastrous effects of forthcoming effects of typhoon Sendong on the southern part of the Philippines, as it shows apparently on the news the havoc and casualties it has inflicted especially on Cagayan De Oro city Philippines and Iligan city Philippines which have repeated their poor and incompetent management on the previous large flooding on the Luzon or northern part of the Philippines due to typhoons Pedring and Quiel that has happened earlier this same year 2011.

But National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) undersecretary Benito Ramos have categorically denied they lack on informing the Mindanao people and preparing for the coming of typhoon Sendong but the Mindanao people themselves lacks the initiative to move and heed their early warning.

However, according to the first bulletin posted by National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), their warning post was just posted hours ago or less than 24 hours before typhoon Sendong attack northern Mindanao while the residents of Northern Mindanao are fast asleep without any “pre-emptive evacuation” or actual warning from the local government of Mindanao to their residents. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said they will not move unless they have a “cue” from Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA),thus they pass the burden of blame on Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) if in any case the Filipino people will be enraged with the poor management and incompetency of National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) just like their master from Malacanang who loves to play blame game rather be responsible and accountable for whatever happens in their sphere of management.

But Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) have transfer the blame to their own policy or they are just following their policy of raising a storm signals at least 36 hours before the storm hits the bull’s eye, though there are already warning from Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) of the US Navy that they have tracked a super typhoon headed on the Mindanao part of the Philippines, five days or four days before Sendong hits Mindanao between December 16-17.

Yes, this Aquino administration can break any known legal proceedings just only to satiate its administration and its believer’s obsession and insanity to persecute and incarcerate former Philippine president and now Pampanga representative Gloria Macapagal Arroyo without any solid concrete evidence, but they cannot break their own policy just for the sake of the safety of the Mindanao people. What a “fucking” governance this Noynoy have! And instead of admitting their own mistake and incompetency, they resort of playing blame games which is indeed so annoying and could raise one’s blood pressure thinking that these incompetent government officials just waste taxpayer’s money by their incompetency and hypocrisy.

Will the Filipinos just bear the growing incompetency and blatant hypocrisy of Aquino administration upon knowing that Aquino and his officials were being paid by people’s money to serve the Filipino nation?

Even the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of US have forecasted nearly a week the course of Sendong before it hits the Philippines but the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) is fast asleep in picking up this urgent information that could somehow save lives if they just heed the international forecast.

Even though the appointment of Chief Justice Renato Corona is really legal and constitutional as certified by the Supreme Court and Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) and the only whine of Noynoy and his ally is that Chief Justice Corona is appointed within the ban period and alleged ally of former Philippine president now Pampanga representative Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, still some congressmen and women in the House of Representatives sell their souls in exchange for money and fear as one of the true ally of Noynoy spill the beans and let the cat out from the bag as he confess he could no longer bear in his conscience what Noynoy wants them to do just only to impeach Chief Justice Renato Corona and reveals the illegal stuff Noynoy camp is cooking.

Navotas representative Toby Tiangco expressed his disappointment against PNoy’s illegal actions and could not bear the railroaded impeachment of Chief Justice Renato Corona which is clearly illegal or unconstitutional because it lack due process and they were blackmail to vote for “yes” else their priority development assistance fund (PDAF) or widely known as “pork barrel” will not be release but if they blindly vote “yes” on complaint, additional support will be bestowed to them from the President himself, ala “thank you gift”? Thus, consequently he resigns because he could not exchange the integrity of the House of Representative for money. Those solons who disregard the rule of the law in exchange for money have damaged the integrity of the House he said.

“I admired the president and his wish for the straight path for the country. I know that the President himself is an example of one who follows the laws of the land… So, it seems inconsistent that a President, who follows basic traffic rules, does not want due process to be followed.. At the opening of the Majority caucus (Monday), I was shocked to hear the opening statement of the leadership of the House (saying) that because of the alleged association of Chief Justice Corona to his patron, the former President Gloria Arroyo, he is the obstacle to the plans of the President, and that the only thing to do is to remove the Chief Justice… We were clearly given two choices: to sign or not to sign, But the worst part of it all is that that no questions would be entertained.”

The proof of what Navotas representative Toby Tiangco have said regarding the denial or non-release of their priority development assistance fund (PDAF) was seen upon Batangas Rep. Hermilando Mandanas which was instantly removed from his post by not signing “yes” on the complaint.

“ Knowing PNoy, we are very sure that our constituents in our districts would most certainly suffer if we did not sign the articles of impeachment because Malacañang would find every excuse to make sure that our entitlements are not released. His fight against Corona is truly personal,” – source from The Daily Tribune

However, as the rift between the executive and judiciary branch of the government of the Philippines perpetrated by the no less than the current Philippine president himself, PNoy; progress, the real agenda and motif of PNoy why he hates so much Chief Justice Corona aside from Corona affiliation with Mrs. Arroyo; truly ,it is indeed the distribution of Hacienda Luisita to its farmers makes PNoy goes mad on impeaching Chief Justice Corona whatever means in order to reverse the ruling of the Supreme Court regarding the distribution of it by appointing a new Chief Justice that will favor his desire and commands as the source said in the Daily tribune newspaper that Noynoy was berated by the elder Cojuangco if they lose the hacienda under his administration.

“From the time of (President Ramon) Magsasay, the hacienda land was never lost. When Martial Law came, we still did not lose our land. GMA (Gloria Arroyo) and Cory had a fight during GMA’s presidency, we Cojuangcos still did not lose our land. Now that that you (Noynoy) are president, we lose the hacienda!… You are the reason for our loss of the hacienda, because even the Supreme Court you had to fight with!,”

Yup, it is indeed a crying shame and disgrace for Noynoy on his Cojuangco relatives if they lose the hacienda at the hands of their own relative being as the President of the Philippines; thus Noynoy will do his best to please his Cojuanco relatives using the guise of “pro-poor” and “anti-corruption drive” and forget his mandate to uphold democracy and rule of the law.
