Fall Out of Love

Fall in; fall out; that is how love romances fluctuates, just like what happen to the two sensational Aquinos on the block: Kris and Noynoy.

The ever sensational Ms. Kris Aquino have started the fall out which then follow up by his brother Noynoy Aquino which now creates a public love mini-series which the curious Filipino could follow and tweet : The Aquino Romances. However, their parents – Ninoy and Cory – actually started it, but they never fall out of love (but, is it?) rather their love story fall out of precious intimate moments together due to political reasons, which force them to be separated from one another. Ninoy love for the Philippine independence from Marcos administration have led the fall out of his love for Cory, for it only shows that his political agenda is more weightier than his love for Cory.

Ninoy and Cory

For if Ninoy truly loves Cory, he will not risk his love for Cory and his children or family in exchange only for his personal political agenda to be pursue. A truly family man will not exchange his own family to a mere political nonsense endeavors or even if his personal political agenda is worthwhile pursuing. If Ninoy truly loves Cory and his children, he will not plunge into such and would rather fly away in order to protect hi only love –Cory and his children. Is not It?

It only means, he already “fall out of love” to Cory and “fall in love” to his own personal political agenda. He is ready to die for his own personal political agenda not knowing and considering he has a Cory and children who loves him and rely on him; he is willing and ready to die for his political agenda but for Cory and his children, he is not?

James and Kris

Thus, there are speculations and rumors that the mastermind behind Ninoy’s assignation or Ninoy’s death was none other than Philippines’ so-called icon of democracy, the late ex-Philippine president Corazon Aquino or Cory and was not actually Marcos whom was used as a diversion. For it is already proven that it was not Marcos who summons to kill Ninoy but it was one of the Conguancos ,as some reports said ;and Cory is a Conguanco. However, the wild speculations points out to Peping and Danding Conguanco; Peping is the brother of Cory. This is revealed from an interview of certain Philippine broadcaster to those accused or accessory to the assassination of Ninoy.

Therefore, if Ninoy “fall out of love”, Cory “fall out of love” too if she is the true mastermind behind Ninoy’s death or assignation or knew something about it and just use Marcos to cover up the dark secret because Marcos was perceived evil leader then, so Marcos could cover the issue and be use as a sacrificial lamb.

NoyNoy and Shalani

Anyway, their sensational children seem to follow this “fall out of love” chain and Ms. Kris Aquino led the chain? The controversial Ms. Kris seems to be always in trouble regarding her love life wherein currently her love life falls out of whack again when she filed an annulment against her former love interest and husband –James Yap. According to her, she already “fall out of love” and the love she felt for James have fade away, which only means, the love she felt for James Yap is not true love though she marry him and begot a child.

Nonoy too follows and his breakup with his former girlfriend Shalani Soledad was tweeted across the Philippines when a photo journalist who have captured Nonoy’s having private moments with an unknown girl was published and by Nonoy himself indirectly admits that she have a date with that unknown girl. The reason for the breakup of the two was requested by both parties to keep it private.

A  Pageantry of Tears and Cheers

Recently, the Philippines have experience a rare spectacle of mixture of tears and cheers almost within a succeeding days wherein the main audience is the world. What transpires within these days has been a talk of the town not only within the locals of the Philippines but in the world.

The momentous days are as follows:

August 21 – this day is suppose to be a solemn commemoration of the 27^th death anniversary of former Philippine senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino as well as the reminiscent of the People Power which was spark by his death, when the Philippine beauty pageant wolrd was shock by a news about the sudden death of 2009 Binibining Pilipinas International Melody Gersbach. She died in a car-bus collision accident.

The cheerful reminiscent of what Ninoy have done have been mixed with tears of bereavement for an untimely demise of a Filipina Beauty title holder.

August 23 – this is the day when the Philippines’s image was tainted with shame again by the bloody end of the failed attempt to end the tourist bus hostage drama which took the lives of 8 Chinese nationals and the life of ex-Filipino police officer hostage taker, wherein the Hong Kong government and Chinese people show great disappointment about what have happened; wherein, early hours before the hostage, the Chinese nationals as well as those passengers in the bus have a cheerful disposition seeing that they are bound for a relaxing and peaceful destination somewhere in the Philippines. However, their cheers become traumatic tears of sorrows and grief.

Tourist Bus Hostage

August 24 –On Manila time, Philippine bet for Miss Universe 2010 beauty pageant Maria Venus Raj have managed to be on the top 5 finalist and won the Miss Universe fourth-runner position, which brings great cheers and smile among Filipinos simultaneously with the shame, anger and sorrows Filipinos and Chinese felt about the bloody end of the bus hostage drama in Manila.

Maria Venus Raj

She managed to be in the Miss Universe 2010 pageant despite earlier months she was stripped of her crown as Binibining Pilipinas Universe 2010 because of a confused and attempt to send a genuine document proving she was indeed a pure Filipino citizen. But eventually she indeed able to manage, and still she indeed though her answer to the pageant question,”, major, major” was somewhat laugh of.

Up until these days, the pageantry of tears and cheers on the mentioned days still lingers: Is Nonoy worth voted for a Philippine presidency despite of the “kapalpakan”(clumsiness) that is happening on his first months of administration? Are the Filipino policemen under-trained, particularly on such incident? Is the Philippines still safe for foreign tourists?, and when will the wound or the trauma of the Chinese people and the Hong Kong country be healed against the Filipinos?

Finally, it is proven that a Filipina have still guts to win the Miss Universe pageant despite of some clumsiness along the pageant.

The Rise of Mediocracy in the Philippines

“Everyone wants to rule the word” – This famous statement have marred the good image of late former Philippine president Ferdinand E. Marcos and wreck his administration and ruined his excellent vision for the Philippines. Yes, this over-maligned and defamed former Philippine president was indeed a good and very bright man. He was never a dictator or an evil man contrary to the rumors spread by the mediocre ones and the press media in the Philippines, just like what the mediocre ones and press media doing against former Philippine president Gloria Arroyo today; even former Philippine president Joseph “erap” Estrada was a victim of his own mediocratic principle.

Ferdinand E. Marcos

Actually, late former Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos was elected three times as the President of the Philippines for his commendable achievement and by his high-class visions for the Philippines. But this was ruined by the infiltration of a Communist or Maoist thoughts and ideologies brought by the Cold War then (but I suspect it was the international business elites who do this, see my succeeding paragraph below),which created the creation of a numerous “leftist” and vigilantes groups today who pursue a radical change in the government base on the Communist principle; one of the active communist group that still exist today beginning at the Marcos Administration is the New People’s Army or NPA.

These ‘leftist’ groups become so rampant and wild on the Marcos Administration then (because that was their beginnings or birth in the Philippines) which spreads lawlessness (such as disrespectful to the authorities) and vandalistic attitude that threatens the good security and economic status of the Philippines then, which forces former late Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos to impose Martial Law to counter these threats and save the Philippines from being overtaken by Communism and anarchic principles. Thus, because of these threats and the cluelessness of the Marcos administration of who is behind this destabilization plot and demolition job to overthrow the present Philippine government, resort into arresting leaders of the alleged Communist groups and torture them to speak out who is behind the spread anarchism, vandalism, and destabilization plot against the present reigning Philippine administration, and one of the person arrested is Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino because Ninoy repeatedly criticized the Marcos administration without any very solid evidence about his accusations. Thus he was suspected to have a connection to the mastermind or even one of the masterminds of the destabilization plot and demolition job.

Was Marcos wrong in containing these anarchic threats? Or was his ways of containing it wrong?

Furthermore, not only Communism and anarchy creeps in on Marcos third administration but also disloyalty and corruption of his cabinet members flourish beyond his control, which created the “corruption thought” today in the Philippine politics on Cabinet members.

Is the infiltration of Communism and corruption of his cabinet members a POWER PLAY? To destabilize his good governance and to dis-empower him because of the insecurities of the mediocre ones and the revenge of the Foreign Businesspersons then, especially Chinese ones against Marcos plans to transfer foreign ownership of businesses in the Philippines to the Filipinos and they use the mediocre Filipino then to stir up chaos and communism, so that their businesses will not be transferred to the Filipinos?

Ferdinand Marcos

Is the International Business Community, the Mastermind of destabilization plot and demolition job to destroy the Marcos Administration and to destroy Marcos among the mediocre masses, respectively to suit their personal agendas and to build a Philippine government which they could control?

The downfall of a good leader is the rise of Mediocracy in the Philippines, a.k.a “People Power”, perpetuated by the International Business Elites to suit their personal business agendas and to oust out Marcos using the mediocre Filipino mass.

I pity much Marcos, because he was not justified and acknowledged for what he have done good to the Filipinos in his past administrations but remembered as useless and evil Philippine president ever live. This is definitely INJUSTICE.

Is “People Power” worth remembering against a former good leader?

What does Ninoy have to say about this if he is still alive that his own money (the 500 peso bill) is the favorite Philippine money the money counterfeiters love to fake? Will he able to say again his famous statement to his Beloved Filipino: “The Filipino is worth dying for”? Think again, Ninoy.
