Noynoy comes up with a solution to his first challenge as President!

-
Faced with a mountain of campaign promises he will likely be unable to keep, President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III now latches foolishly onto one that he has full personal control over -- his decision not to use motorcades to expedite his morning commutes from his daddy's house to his office in Malacanang. His family newsetter reports...
President Benigno Aquino III will not yield to suggestions that he finally allow his escorts to use sirens (wangwang, in street lingo) and cut himself a path through Metro Manila's traffic jams just to ensure his own safety and make it to his appointments on time.

And his solution? Read on...
"There's a solution so he won't be late. He will leave earlier. He will wake up earlier," Lacierda said in Filipino at the weekly Palace forum aired over state-run Radyo ng Bayan.

On to the next challenge.

From "anomalous" spending to "imbalanced" spending: P-Noy eats his words yet again

From what was hyped up to be a "shocking" "exposé" of "awe"-some proportions, Malacanang has now toned down its position on the fiscal position of the government and, backpedals yet again to using more benign words since promising in a 25th July Inquirer.net report "revelations of 'shocking' anomalies" in the previous administration's handling of government finances leading to "the depletion of the P1.54-trillion national budget and calamity fund".

Why not bury former President Ferdinand E. Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani (Filipino Heroes' Cemetery)? That is the question that came to light recently in the wake of the burial there of former Secretary and retired General Angelo Reyes, who was in the middle of being implicated in a big-time corruption scandal at the time of his death on the 8th of February this year. 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".

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.

Charice Pempengco, Allan Pineda and the Filipino American dream

-
Image
Charice, born Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco, is oozing with potential as she continues to gain stardom points in the United States. Hers is a story typical of Filipino home-grown resources in general -- whether they be our now-depleted fine mahogany trees or our best scientists and engineers. They all found mega-opportunities outside of the Philippines after being largely overlooked by a society renowned for its stunted faculties for setting apart the gems from the duds.
