Controlled population release vs destructive population explosion

-
Compare a nuclear explosion to a controlled nuclear reaction. The earlier (the explosion) is a useless -- and destructive -- release of energy, whereas the latter (the reaction) represents energy that can be channel for productive purposes.

Philippine population is the equivalent of a destructive explosion -- an explosion of useless proto-humans who cannot prosper their way out of a paperbag. The key is to implement a similar controlled release of human capital -- so that it can be nurtured (through proper upbringing, nutrition, and education) and turned into productive elements of the national economy.

At the moment each new Filipino baby born represents a liability to the national economy and not the asset that it ideally should be.

Ain't it quaint how 1.7 million people would troop to Manila for a chance to catch a glimpse and possibly -- hoping against hope -- touch the "revered" Black Nazarene figurine. I don't get it. How is this crowding around a relic different, say, from the 30,000 Filipinos who trooped to the ULTRA stadium to see an episode of Wowowee live and, later, stampeded all over one another and literally trampled the shit out of 78 such hopefuls ?

Marcos's son, Senator Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr today "reiterated his call for the burial of his father, the late former President Ferdinand Marcos, in the Libingan ng mga Bayani". Television personality Karen Davila was quoted by ANC 24/7 as having quoted Bongbong saying that "if Angelo Reyes was buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani, my late father should also be buried there".

Saying sorry many times about the Mendoza hostage tragedy is not enough

Not surprisingly, the well-funded PR machinery of Kamaganak Inc (the branch of the Philippine oligarchy that is in bed with the Aquino-Cojuangco feudal clan) has succeeded in relegating the Mendoza hostage crisis (that resulted in the deaths of eight foreign tourists) to a mere marking of the end of the "honeymoon" period of President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III 's government. Bad for Noynoy but still a demotion of what is really a significant turning point -- perhaps a tipping point -- that could be regarded as a rare opportunity for profound change in our society -- if we manage to keep its salient aspects from being swept under the rug .
