Keeping it Simple #FamilyLife Over the past few months, the concepts of stripping back the superfluous, simplifying and pulling apart the true meaning of integrity have been strong personal themes. For many people, there’s a drive to again inspect old patterns that continue to run happily in the background despite years of self-examination. Perhaps under the direction of a new global energy, there’s a sense of being able to lovingly let go of those things that have served us all well on one level, yet have offered excuses to stay small on another. I came across Don Miguel Ruiz’ “The Four Agreements” the other day and it strongly resonated with this desire to pare back; to simplify; to become more real as a participant in this world and begin operating in a more authentic way. With these 4 simple tenets, we could literally change the way we as humans operate in this world. How do they resonate with you? Please feel free to share your thoughts, we’d love to hear from you. 1. Be ...

The Hocus-Pocus at NAIA #FamilyLife With the Aquino Administration nearing its end, lots of inconsistencies are evolving overtime. It has emerged from his managing, transparency and corruption but deep inside the Filipino people are suffering from within. Let’s not forget that Pnoy Administration had nothing to offer immediate action when times call for it. The slow action proved that the government must attend to all facets of the Philippine society by their strong will to eliminate the bad elements. The “laglag bala” scheme by the airport personnel caused the Philippine government another problem to solve and going it through the authorities concerned. More incidents are adding every other day because of this matter. The Presidential aspirant of Pnoy Administration, Mar Roxas condemned the people behind this scheme. He even thought that there were political agenda behind this “laglag bala” because of the APEC Summit meeting. His remarks when interviewed by the media did ...

SONA 2015 of President Aquino, Positive Reporting Only? #FamilyLife It’s really very much alive when the last SONA 2015 of President Benigno Aquino III was delivered because of its essence in Filipino culture and development. His first sentence, "My bosses, this is the story of our journey along the Straight Path." It’s like the beginning of a story wherein he wanted all Filipinos to listen very carefully with all ears. Before he began his administration, he recalled the issues of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (PGMA) administration that were inherited to him before his term in 2010 such as 'Hello Garci' scandal, ZTE-NBN deal, MRT3, MWSS bonus, Maguindanao massacre, and NFA anomalies. “The moment we assumed the presidency, we began to unearth anomaly after anomaly.” Truly, he groped his prowess to maintain the anomaly done by PGMA which he could not enjoined some for a long time. Some sectors were failed to “jumped-up” like the Metro Rail System ...

The world watched as multiple “fact-finding” and “independent” probes ended shamelessly with a whitewash of Pnoy’s glaring culpability. But will Alan Purisima and Getulio Napenas now be charged and jailed? The speculations of many Filipinos were satisfied temporarily with the Board of Inquiry (BOI) final report which made them the first fact-finding authority to divulge the incident. But it made another doubts to the “Doubting Thomases of Philippine Politics” that Pnoy really deviate the Oplan Exodus to military blunder. It’s with this report that Oplan Exodus was not totally planned and executed with lots of flaws in coordination on the side of the military leaders on the ground. While the nation awaits true justice for SAF 44,President Pnoy’s moro-moro with the MILF and his all-out war with the BIFF are surely dooming the prospect for true and lasting peace in Mindanao. For its defence, the MILF claims “misencounter” that lasted eight hours or so. Some say 12 hours. The real ...

With more confidential military subjects are being taken by the Board of Inquiry by the Senate hearing, more complications pop up to be discussed. It’s really best to put forward questions that could help find solutions in different angles. The most valuable things the Senate could employ the true meaning of peace and order. The fact remains that Philippine Military System and Operation needs more than just cooperation but the development it needs to face the stability of our country in the future. We really need them for our way of living inside the Philippine Territory. Any disturbances, damages, and threats to our peace can be eradicated and terminated. The same is true with the people in Mindanao. The BBL is the government way to alleviate the dilapidated situation in whole areas in Mindanao. It’s the perennial problem that besets our beloved country in terms for peace and governance. Ever since in the past, many brave military people are serving our country gave their lives...

At the onset of the Fallen 44, more angles of the incident are spreading like wildfire. Sentiments of Filipino nation are engulfed with hatred, finger-pointing and even quoting sentences to paragraphs which molded the “Chaos Theory” into a bigger scene. Chaos theory: The crazier the incident at Mamasapano the more angles are being dug up. Pinpointing is one of its main elements. Seeking the truth is another. Feelings is just another. The more participants to be involved, the more angles are spreading in all directions. The solution’s vague. All sorts of media including millions of social media users are among the elements that put forward for this theory to succeed. Ordinary citizens too, are another angle that made this news to widen in untimely manner. Filipinos showed their feelings to the Fallen 44 because that’s part of its characteristic of being Filipino. Their feelings showed but their minds are overcome by what they felt about it while others, showed sentiments by no...

The aftermath saw the major devastation which needs emergency funding came from the government. The DSWD responsibility is to ensure that the survivors get the aid needed to build their new lives.

Traffic congestion’s a constant occurrence in every sector of Metro Manila especially in the main road at EDSA. Motorists are trying their very best to use this road as much as possible for easy route going to and fro with their daily jobs. Daily commuters are notably sacrificing everyday just to make ends meet, and this heavy traffic makes them more intolerant of being the nicest people in the world. Thus, our transportation system along these many roads of Metro Manila are not capable of giving minimum service to the riding public because of mismanagement of our leaders.

Why this present administration could not altogether plan and compose their resources, take long-term solutions to these problems and anticipate Philippine Development 5 t...

President Aquino Planning For Another Term, But Why? #FamilyLife In the past after the latest SONA of Pinoy, all of the sudden, re-election of him surfaced as other Presidential hopefuls were emerging like they wanted the highest political position of the land. It’s not new for Filipino political hopefuls to draw their desires even it’s too early for the next election 2017. President Aquino’s term will end at 2016, and how could that be possible? According to Erice, it is time to discuss the need to amend the political provisions of the Constitution especially on the lifting of terms of elective positions. He is pushing for Cha-cha because he believes that President Aquino deserves another term so he can continue enforcing reforms in the government. Palace officials are giving contradicting statements on the real stand of President Benigno Aquino on the Cha-cha even after he expressed his agreement with the idea of term extension in a televised interview. Since he assumed the...

Inspiration, Webster calls it a high level of activity or feeling that causes one to take action. In your life, right now, what would you call it? Your goals expectations, your online endeavors, your relationships with other online people or your career in real life – would you call them inspirational? Can you easily push yourself and consistently get the results you want? Or are you spurred on to great achievement when you are near special people and places? Many people find it very difficult to push themselves to great achievement by themselves. Most people need that outside source of encouragement. That encouragement could come in the form of words. It could be something that was said to you or something that you said to others that caused a major rumble in you or someone else’s life. Words can be powerful motivators. Think of a chance remark you made to a friend, something you put out of your mind immediately. The next thing you know, your friend is telling you abo...
