Hidilyn Diaz Paves the Way for Filipinas in Sports

Mabuhay ka Hidilyn Diaz! You make us all proud!

I think now our hopes of finally getting an Olympic gold can become a reality since from my observation, Olympic weightlifting in both the men and women's categories, especially in the lower weight classes are dominated by our ASEAN neighbors.

So there's really no reason why we cannot win our share of golds as well.

At least now, Hidilyn has paved the way for the Filipina in sports and I'm sure maraming kabataang babae ang maeengganyong sumunod sa mga yapak niya!

Marcos Was Not A Hero

I can now really confirm that the Martial Law years were not taught anymore soon as I left high school.

I was talking with my co-teachers, most of them in their 20s and early 30s and they see nothing wrong with burying Marcos in the Libingan ng mga Bayani.

Hayyy, how sad! Maybe we need a movie like 'Heneral Luna' to bring these young people back to their senses!

I also rarely join rallies but this one, I think that event on Sunday is worth attending.  I really cringe at the thought that the former President will be buried along with the other heroes in the Libingan ng mga Bayani - for the simple reason that he was not a hero of this country.  He was a plunderer, a murderer, a dictator, a person who made a whole generation of Filipinos suffer so much.

By allowing this burial, this sends a very wrong message to our youth that it's ok to bastardize our country and still be rewarded for it!
