Knowledge neglected |
|
 JJ writes "We all, not only filipinos, tend to forget a crucial element for solving a problem; The question why. From corruption to egoism the cause of "crap mentality" must be known. Too many people tend to believe that force, strength and money is the power to improve. Which alot of filipinos knows that it is the wrong way of thinking and therefore named it so. But even those people could not see any cause or any solution to this so-called crap mentality except to let the people have a stronger discipline.

Bangungot |
|
silentwater writes "Sa pagnanasang makadampot ng kaligayahan
Sa umuugoy na mga bagay,
May tila kamay-bakal na sumasakal sa kaluluwa
At lumalamon sa katauhan.
Puno ng kahungkagan ang ginagalawan
Lipunang pugad ng kawalang pag-asa,
Abot-tanaw ang kabilang daigdig
Ngunit tila lagpas langit ang layo sa katotohanan.
Nag-aatubili ang panahon
Sa buhul-buhol at kinakalyong alamat,
Mahirap lumaya…
Kahit gumising sa bangungot sa umaga.

The Calibrated Creeping Scheme of 2005 |
|
Jess writes " Filipino historians and writers can make a compelling book out of the political events that took place in the Philippines in 2005.
As the political events of 2005 unfolded, and one reads between the lines and factors in the interpretations by pundits of different persuasion, it would lead one to a treasure of insights.
Here is one insight worthy of an episode."

Paint the Nation Brown! Students/Youth Unite to Demand US Government to Correct |
|
San Francisco, Bay Area – October 11, 2005 – Filipino youth and students
continue to re-learn and re-tell the history of their elders.
On October 20, 2005, the Pilipino Youth Coalition (PYC) in Vallejo along with
the Student Action for Veterans Equity (SAVE) – which will include Sacramento
State University, UC Davis, San Francisco State University, UC Santa Cruz, San
Jose State University, Arizona State University, George Washington University in
Washington D.C., University of Washington in Seattle, and University of Hawaii
at Manoa – will be holding a nationwide Candlelight Vigil to commemorate the
lives of the veterans who have passed away and to also celebrate the lives of
the veterans who are still here in the US and in the Philippines. The vigil is
part of an ongoing campaign to “paint the nation brown”, stressing the awareness
of the Brown Ribbon Campaign; an education and action campaign dedicated to the
fight for Full Equity only and nothing less, through the passages of H.R. 302
and S. 146. Legislative visits to local offices are also scheduled to take place
throughout the day.

LEGISLATION HONORING FILIPINO VETERANS VETOED BY GOVERNOR |
|
Governor Kills Bill to Add the Role of Filipinos in WWII to High School Social
Studies Curriculum
SACRAMENTO – Despite receiving overwhelming bipartisan support in both houses of
the State Legislature, for the second year in a row Governor Arnold
Schwarzenegger (R-Los Angeles) vetoed legislation that would have added the role
of Filipinos in WWII to the high school social studies curriculum. Assembly Bill
(AB) 15, authored by Assemblyman Jerome Horton (D-Inglewood) and co-authored by
Speaker pro Tem Leland Yee (D-San Francisco/Daly City), specifically encouraged
the instruction to include a component of personal testimony of Filipinos who
were involved in World War II.

Education suffered worst crisis under Arroyo |
|
by YOUTH DARE
Mrs. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo must still be living in her self-induced fairy
tale. Until now, she refuses to realize that she is the root of all these
political uncertainties and divisiveness.
This was the statement made by Youth Demanding Arroyo’s Removal (YOUTH DARE)
Spokesperson Raymond Palatino in reaction to Arroyo’s State-of-the-Nation
address (SONA) yesterday.
