De Quiros has a new book!

oh, I would love to have one — with his signature!

hope he’ll come to Davao for a book-signing…I would certainly be there…

In 2001, I was one of the millions of Filipinos who called for the ouster of former Pres. Joseph “Erap” Estrada. I should be happy with the Sandiganbayan’s verdict at his plunder  case. But, not quite.

Why? Because of them:

I will only be satisfied, if and only if, Mrs. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and his underlings like (ret) Gen. Jovito Palparan will be convicted for their crimes against the people. If I have to choose, they deserve more to be put behind bars for the close to a thousand victims of political killings excluding abductions and other forms of harassment.

Erap took only money. Arroyo and Palparan took lives.

it’s official! i finally decided to start collecting the pugad baboy (pb) series, yesterday.  wo hoh!
for lack of budget, i bought only one, which means, i have to save money for the remaining 18 pb series.  aargh!

the available copies left in the bookstore are books 15 to 17 out of the total 19 series.  i chose kinse ( i dunno why).

pb, is one of the reasons why i read inquirer (others are de quiros’ there’s the rub, young blood and inq editorial, in no particular order).  why i love it?  Pol Medina’s comic strips show the political, cultural and economic conditions of our country — with wit and humor; they are not pretentious and more importantly, they don’t show cowardice from the powers-that-be.

ATTENTION:  kung kinsa man ang naay PB copies dinha ug labi na kadtong walay plano mangolekta, dili gyud ko maulaw nga mangayo sa inyo, hehehe…andam kaayo kong mudawat…

photo inset: PB’s 10th aniv special.  wala koy nakitang kinse, mao kani na lang usa.

 

 need I say more?

one of the reasons why I frequent The Professional Heckler’s site:

sure, bananas‘ jason mraz is del.i.cious!

but, for moi, this one is even more yummy!

this is our moment
this is our time
this is our chance
to stand up for what’s right
we’re not looking for charity
we’re looking for justice

- Bono

“Everyone who is concerned about peace and freedom has to be greatly distressed over the arrest of Joma Sison. (He) is a great spirit that the world needs to know about, a great voice that the world needs to hear. The demonization [of him] will destroy us if we permit it to continue.”

 - Ramsey Clark, Former United States attorney general 

“Sison’s arrest will not stop the NDFP nor theNPA from the protracted complex struggle for national democracy and genuine sovereignty. Neither a picnic nor a dinner party, as the old adage goes, the progress of the revolution does not depend on individual leaders or heroes, however important their contribution might be. The torture of Sison will not lead to the capitulation of the CPP or NPA, as Arroyo’s advisers expect; nor will it diminish its powerful appeal or influence. It will certainly dampen if not halt the peace negotiations. It surely will not postpone Arroyo’s downfall.” -          E. SAN JUAN, JR. 

“It is clear that the Arroyo regime really has no intention of talking peace. It is only interested in waging all-out war. This is not just about Joma now. This is an attack on the Filipino people and their aspirations for a just and lasting peace.”  - DR. CAROL ARAULLO

 found this today at my friendster account…

Being the eldest of the brood of three, I find family obligation not tedious, but difficult vis-avis the socio-economic condition of our country.  i find it not entertaining as it requires sacrificing other important things. 

but, meeting the expectations of my family is truly fulfilling.
