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.

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 .

Kudos to Kanin Club restaurant!

I'm not a food writer by any stretch of the imagination, but I just have to do a hats-off to this resto Kanin Club. I had the pleasure of having lunch at their Westgate Mall, Alabang branch one weekend and it was by far the best meal I had during my short stay in Manila. If I recall right, I had a green mango salad (I forget what it is called), some sort of grilled talong (eggplant) thing-a-ma-bob, some tinola (chicken soup), and what looked like a deep-fried tilapia that had been pulled apart into a flower-like sculpture. The turon (deep-fried banana, I think it is) topped by a scoop of mango ice cream was great too.

The coming Fifth Anniversary of ABS-CBN's Wowowee Stampede tragedy

-

The 4th of February 2011 will mark the fifth anniversary of that monumental tragedy that happened in the PhilSports "ULTRA" Stadium in Pasig, Metro Manila where 78 people died in a stampede for tickets to see ABS-CBN's hit television show Wowowee . It ranks up there along with the same sort of mass-casualty disasters that happen onli in da Pinas , except that unlike tragedies involving killer Sulpicio Line ships, homicidal mud slides that bury entire towns in Leyte, and murderous floods caused by storm drains clogged by human refuse, the Wowowee massacre happened on a nice sunny day.
