as what i've said from my previous post, olympics is about sports and has nothing to with politics... trying to put off the flame on the torch will not mean putting off china but rather putting off the spirit of olympics and olympics is not china... i understand the struggle and desire of the tibetans for freedom but not at the expense of the olympics... please, let's not combine sports with politics... don't act like hypocrites, if you are indeed true why not protest against other countries that has a way, way, way higher human rights violation records than china?... why not protest against some countries or governments that kills innocent people everyday?... maybe you will not because there's no olympic games in those countries... for me putting off the flame ON THE TORCH means nothing... peace!
After a much heated campaigns the election fever are almost finally over. Pending the final canvassing of votes by the congress the people have chosen a new leader to rule the country for the next 6 years. The presumptive president is a mayor from a city down south of the Philippines known for his iron fisted style of government. What makes this election interesting is the process on how people now choose their leaders. Traditionally, we oath to go for people with great experience, plans, smart and proper character and attitude someone we normally call 'honorable'. This election changed that idea, people now go for leaders with real simple plans to solve recurring problems in the society, strong work portfolio to showcase their capability to govern and implement real solutions. Good luck to the newly elected president, I wish you well in your quest to change this country into something everyone wish it should be. Peace!
