The right position to take on the RH Bill

-
The venerable Big Boss of AntiPinoy.com (AP) summarised what in my opinion is the best position to take on the issue of Reproductive Health in the Philippines. He does this in a comment to a recent article on AP...
Catholics have the option of not availing the services.

Non-catholics have the option of availing the services.

The "services" here being whatever the state would be empowered to offer Filipinos (impoverished by their enormously unproductive numbers) if the Reproductive Health Bill is enacted to Law against the wishes of the Men in Robes of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP).

It’s simple, really™ — though not for the small-minded.

    Going against the will of God is NOT an option.

    How do we get to grasp or know what exactly God's "will" is?

    If it is "not" an option, then why is said option available to take?

    The options is to separating good and bad. Mag-isip po kayo ng mabuti. This is what separating mens and boys.

    We have free will... Though if you're a Christian, your job is to not to stop people from doing bad but telling them what IS bad. yung pagpigil trabaho ng pulis yon. The best you can do is to talk to them no matter what their response may be (or if they respond at all) and then PRAY that God would enlighten everyone. so what kung mali ang RH bill? it's not your job to stop it and you don't know din kung ano ung will ni God para sa RH bill. Just pray and ask for understanding.

Roundabouts to "solve" Manila traffic - a microcosm of flawed Filipino thinking

-

Roundabouts (or "rotundas" as they are more commonly known as in the Philippines) are being touted by the cash-strapped Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) as "an alternative measure to ease traffic congestion". According to a "simulation study", the MMDA foresees a "200% increase in the speed" of areas where roundabouts can be successfully implemented. ABS-CBN News reports that MMDA spokesperson Tina Velasco expects the following specific benefits coming from the increased use of roundabouts in Metro Manila's intersections:

English vs Tagalog - Manuel Buencamino comes out a chump telling James Soriano off

As usual, ProPinoy.net resident Mr Important is trying to be cute in his latest blurb where he presumes to tell current hero of the Illustrado class, James Soriano a thing or two. Too bad that thing -- even two of it -- falls short on sense . Nice try, Mr Manuel Buencamino. But do think again . English is just another means of communication . That is true -- among a people who have strong traditions of scientific, technological, and commercial achievement . Thus among successful societies, it does not matter whether you speak English, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Swedish, or Singlish. These languages -- and the people who speak them -- are peers among themselves.

Where Asia wears a smile

Filipinos have always prided themselves in being a "resilient" people. So resilient, in fact, that even the worst disasters and tragedies couldn't wipe our silly smiles off our faces. Smiling is so ingrained in our character as a people that I dare say President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III couldn't really be blamed for the reflexive smile plastered on his face as he delivered his official statement on the 23rd August hostage crisis that resulted in the deaths of eight Hong Kong tourists. He is Filipino after all. And that is what Filipinos do -- smile .
