    Boxing Is Deadly But….

    An amateur boxer like me will always be inspired by great boxing icons. Constantly hungry of new moves and strategies to win. That is despite the fact that tragedy can happen like head trauma which sometimes could lead to death. Today I visited Karlo Maquinto, 21 years old, who is currently in the intensive care unit of a private hospital in Quezon City. He is a young boxer with good professional record of 8 wins, no loose and 1 draw. Maquinto is now in comatose because of subdural hematoma after he had a fight with another young boxer Mark Joseph Costa last Saturday. They are the undercard fight in Dodie…

    Aquino’s Man A Piracy Poster Boy?

    The Philippine government is serious on its campaign against piracy. Really? So why Presidential Political Adviser Ronald Llamas bought pirated DVDs in a mall? Is Llamas trying to prove that the government’s drive against piracy is weak? According to the Optical Media Board (OMB), purchasing pirated for personal use is not penalized by law, however, if it is more than 8 pieces it could be use for business and that is against the law. So why President Aquino is reluctant to act against his man? Is it the policy of the incumbent administration to tolerate bad boys in the cabinet? UPDATE: Just today, President Aquino was quoted that the eradication…

    Photo Of PNoy With Prosecution Head

    Upon seeing this photo, what comes to your mind? It might be highly inappropriate and suspicious to see the President having lunch or dinner with the head and members of the prosecution on the impeachment case against Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona. The three branches of government should be independent at all times. Isn’t it? Most of the prosecution members were solons and allies of the President in Liberal Party. Recently, they had a dinner party to celebrate the anniversary of the political party. The administration should have postponed the party and maintain a distance from the prosecution members, at least, until the case has been concluded. Should we…

    Kidnapping And Extracting Of Internal Organs Of Children Must Stop

    Apparently, the authorities were not taking seriously the reported kidnapping of children and then extracting their internal organs which eventually led to the death of those innocent kids. Organs such as heart, eyes and kidneys were said to be sold at a tempting price. Does this sound unbelievable? Yes, but if we would believe the testimonies of the young witnesses especially those who escaped from the dreadful hands of the syndicate, it should make the government and law enforcers act decisively and firmly. Witnesses fearfully stated the same stories on how they were kidnapped and dragged onboard a van. Then, the suspects would inject something on the victims and incised…
