Good News and Bad News

A couple of bad news and good news:

Bad News:
1. Emerson Lozano, Ernani Sensil and Venson Evangilista carnapping incidents.
2. Buendia bus bombing.
3. Makati gondola accident.
4. Flooding in the southern part of the country.
5. Dr. Gerry Ortega murder in Palawan.



Good News:
Pinoy - Filipino of the year!

I thought rabbit is a good sign that is why it was adopted as a playboy sign? How many times that we see women in sexy bunny costume made men salivate and tickled they imaginative side. But in the contrary, what happening in the first month of the year of the rabbit is so disgusting! I hate admit it, but we Filipinos are becoming like a rabbit - private and a bit introvert. There are a lot of things happening around us and sometimes we just turn a blind eye or maybe we lost interest on things that are everyday part of our existence - carnappings, kidnapping, murder, gun for hire, corruption in the government, politicking, bombing, police brutality, terrorism, PUV fare increase, gas price, traffic, drugs, religions and money.

I hope rabbit's calm personality would give us time to think and be a better person.


Bad things that are happening in our country is a product of how we lost control of the situation. These events would  definitely affect our economy. Killings and carnapping only highlight the need to improve our security. Bombing is the failure of the intelligence community. It is frustrating that other country has a better intelligence gathering capability here in Philippines than the NBI, PNP and AFP combine. Countries such as Australia, New Zealand and US released warning to its citizens of the possible terrorist attack to the Philippines before Buendia bus bombing. The only answer from Malacanang  - is that - the warning is not directed to a bus bombing! What a bunch of morons! (sorry for may French).
I just hope that those who are tasked to do this job would step up and bring those who perpetrate this terroristic act to the bar of justice.

We should have a good and capable police force and not a 40-year old PO1 who breaks the law, not a general that only wanted to acquire millions in the promise that he will get reprieve by giving back half of what he plundered, not a politician who look good in front of the camera but raking up millions in kickbacks, not people who look for killers to murder an innocent commentator by misleading a killer that the people he is about to silent is a rapist, not bishop that is too moral to ask women to go against HR bill, not extremist that will do everything to push the country into chaos just to get the peace they are dreaming of, not people that will ask for protection money for company to be able to conduct their business, not companies that doesn't mind that destruction that they are doing to the environment.

As predicted, La Nina is bringing rains to our country. There are flooding in the southern part of the Philippines which claimed so many lives. The flooding and lost of lives only shows the un-preparedness of the government to handle this kind of situation and of course, poor governance of the people we voted to the public office.

Gondola accident, I think would not affect market. Only career of politicians who did not do their job to police unscrupulous contractors.


Lastly, maybe what is happening in January is just spill-over of 2010. Maybe February 2011 will be the start of something brilliant!
