I don't really understand why the need to interrupt the president during his speech. While free speech is a guaranteed right there's a proper forum for that exercise. In this country we have left leaning partylist groups in our congress, the same groups behind the street rallies we often see in the news. To use the reason of "wanted to be heard" thus heckling is quite out of order. The presidency is the highest position in this land one can ever take and it must be regarded with so much respect and honor. If our people can't do that, how do we expect the same people to respect the heads in our family, our parents. Peace!

Main Entry: dy·nas·ty Pronunciation: \ˈdī-nə-stē also -ˌnas-tē, especially British ˈdi-nə-stē\ Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural dy·nas·ties Date: 14th century 1 : a succession of rulers of the same line of descent 2 : a powerful group or family that maintains its position for a considerable time Source Your mother is a house representative. Your 2 brothers are also house representatives. Your uncle is also a house representative. Can we call that political dynasty? The 1987 Constitution has a provision that the State shall prohibit political dynasties. But the constitution failed to define an implementing law on political dynasties. Now I wonder when will Congress pass one.

i really find it funny to see this scripted convincing acts the gloria camp is doing, it's like showing the public that there's really a clamor for her to run as a representative in a district back in her province, if you really mean to help people you don't need to be an elected official to actually help them, look at how former presidents of the US have done things after their presidency, reality is that there's a real reason behind all of this drama and the actors are not doing it well, power in government is really addictive... tsk2x... peace!...

So the president signed RA 9716 creating a new district in Camarines Sur (CamSur) province in Bicol region. Now what? " Section 5-3, Article 6 of the Constitution requires a minimum population of 250,000 for a local government unit (LGU) or clusters of LGUs to be declared a congressional district. Each district should be composed of a “contiguous, compact, and adjacent territory. " -- " Based on the 2007 census, the proposed new district—composed of the municipalities of Cabusao, Del Gallego, Lupi, Ragay, and Sipocot—only has a population of 176,383 " While we need to see the latest census considering the booming population of our country, for now it is right to say that differently it fails to qualify as a new district and RA 9716 is unconstitutional.

he is a priest and he is the governor , he was elected in very slim margin over the influential political icons in the province because 1,147 more people believes he can bring change... in just 10 days in office he was able to collect a remarkable Php 11.6 million from the quarry industry of the province and by the end of June 2008 a total of Php 230 million a record breaking feat... more folds than he's predecessor, previous governors earned Php 121.023 million in 5 years starting 2002 until June of 2007... now some people are hurting, they can't stand losing their profits, kickback is the right word for that and they want the governor priest out... good governance is so hard to do, a person must have the will and dedication to change everything for the benefit of its people... and when people resist change, one can do nothing about it but to fight back... this country is dying, politically... i long to see more of the governor priest running every cities and provinces of thi...

its been awhile since the last time i checked on some national news, as i opened the television the headline says that former pres. aquino is suffering from colon cancer… what went back into my memory is my father, it was 5 years ago when my father succumbed to colon cancer, he’s first operation with the intention of removing a portion of his intestine ended with a colostomy bag placed on his stomach, cancer eaten up a large portion of the intestine that linking it back would be impossible… then the chemo therapy, we all thought that everything will be ok and really hoped for his full recovery but not after a year when examination results showed that cancer cells are back and its spreading out fast… he was again put into the table but with doctors advise that the probability of surviving is very small, it was a tough decision to make but we can see it in his eyes the will to fight and to keep on going… after the operation he recovered, me and my brother went back to manila and its not ...

the nbn scandal created a wave of reactions coming from various sectors of society, even in youtube different kinds of videos were uploaded to demonstrate a sense of awareness and even a wiretop conversation between lozada and de venecia III surfaced... today another round of senate inquiry is being shown with a new witness in the name of madriaga, i'm no expert on how politics really work in this country but persons like me can obviously see how corruption have degraded the government system that we have... while i don't disregard that many agencies are trying to change this public perception but results are still for us to see... i remember this film pay it forward where one would help two persons and have the other two help another creating a web of individuals doing good deeds and the process goes on... only if people in government would try to follow such thing starting from the very top, it would be a great day for all filipinos... but still the question of "will the...
