Lawbreakers and The Bank Secrecy Act


To an ordinary citizen like me who has no time to watch the impeachment trial and just rely on the soundbites I receive from media, one of the things that struck me was how lawbreakers use the Bank Secrecy Act to hide their hidden wealth.  And I feel that is very unfair - and that the law should be amended to make sure people who acquired wealth by stealing from the people - be punished.

Sometimes I don't get the Corona camp.  I am not even a fan of Ninoy but the way Corona conducts himself is really unbecoming of a Chief Justice.  Why would he not want the people to find out how much money he has in his foreign accounts? If he has nothing to hide, then just open it!  By stopping it, people, like me, get other ideas!  That maybe, he really has hidden wealth which he got from the Arroyos.  What other conclusion can we think about, knowing fully well how close the two were!

Also, he shouldn't release use that spin where he accuses our president of being crazy.  A little respect for the Office of the President should be given.  P-Noy was elected, Corona should remember that.  Corona was just appointed, by a president who had lost all public support when her term ended!  So in the eyes of the people, he is in a way, a little bit lower than Aquino. 

Well, let's just see how the next chapter of the impeachment trial unfolds.  For now, as I see it, the public thinks Corona has really something to hide.

Corona is finished

Why is it that when an ordinary government employee fails to state everything in his or her SALN, he or she immediately gets the ax, gets jail time and then has to pay damages. Pero kung big fish like Corona, andami pang kaechosan. Tanggalin na siya dyan and kung pwede, ikulong pa!! Pwede ba, Chief Justice ka namin tapos ginagago mo kami! Dapat kasinglinis ka ni Virgin Mary or kasinghonest ni Mother Teresa. We expect no less! Chief Justice ka ng bansa e, tapos ikaw pa ang nauunang nanloloko sa taong bayan. Nakakahiya!!

Our judiciary is corrupt and we all know that. It is an open secret. It is corrupt because their leader, the Supreme Court Justice is also dishonest and corrupt. E si boss magnanakaw e, bat ako, di pwede magnakaw din? O di ba?

Corona is finished

Places I Want to Visit in 2012: Angono Hieroglyphics





Well, this should be the first place I'd visit this year since it's just a drive away here from Quezon City.  I just have to make sure about my directions so I won't get lost, and probably find someone who can go with me!  I'd love to see the hieroglyphics as well as the different museums here!  Angono has been named the art capital of the Philippines so it would be great to find out if it deserves that moniker!

Places I Want to Visit in 2012: Mauban, Quezon City



One of my brother's closest friends, Direk Archie visited Cagbalete Island near Mauban this month, and it's one of the places I would love to visit when I travel to Quezon!  I read an article about the town this week in a newspaper and it has spurred my interest to actually visit the place, hopefully in the next few weeks!

What those tsunami alert levels mean




When I saw my friend Kookie's posts last week about a tsunami level 2 raised in Cebu, I actually didn't know what that meant!! Did that mean 2 hours, or 2 meters or what? So it would be a good thing if you check this video to find out what those numbers mean. It might save your life in the future, you never know!

Fil-Am journalist: No concrete action from Obama on immigration issue



Sometimes it baffles me as to why America treats their immigrants that way. Haven't they forgotten that actually a huge majority of their families were immigrants generations ago?! If their forefathers were not accorded the same opportunities, I'm sure many of them won't be where they are now in their lives - if their forefathers chose to stay in Europe or in their previous home countries. It's not like many of these immigrants go to America to become criminals. These immigrants often have to get the most menial of jobs just to rebuild their lives in a place so foreign from their own. Definitely not an easy thing to do! There should be a better way of integrating them into American society. Frankly, where would America be now if not for the contributions of generations of immigrants?

Hearings set for Fil-Am's landmark discrimination case in US

It's really time Filipino-Americans assert their rights too. The immigrant experience is made doubly-hard when some people make life even harder for you! It's good to show some of these people not to trample on your personhood from time to time - just because you're not white! At least in America, they have the proper venues to air their complaints. Mabuti na ring alam nila na palaban ang Pinoy noh, para di masanay!

PHL auto industry group predicts own fate: We might 'disappear' soon



Does Metro Manila really need more cars? Maybe stricter regulations should be imposed on car registrations so that "old units" are not allowed on the road anymore - especially those really old killer trucks whose brakes just fail at crucial moments!  Well, the link below shows what the Philippine auto industry thinks about their future -

UP student leader robbed, stabbed inside Diliman campus




Whew! Now even UP is not safe anymore for students! Vinzons Hall pa! And what were these guys thinking, e normally, wiz naman money ang mga students, baon lang, if ever. Yun lang, mainit talaga ang laptop and cellphone, so I guess, they were really after those. I hope they all get caught! Bat pa nila sinaksak, babae pa naman!
