Manny Money Manny
in a rich man's world
It is amazing how quickly we Filipinos forgive and forget! That is why the rich get Richer- which we are too quick to FORGIVE, and why the poor get Poorer- which we always FORGET.
For us- the poor and trodden Filipinos- Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao: shall always be a symbol of hope! Someday, sana- we may be able to make it too… just like Manny, that poor Manny.
Just for the MONEY- this former Senator and record- holding boxing Champ must eat everything he said- he stood for- while he was still a politician especially about gambling- which many of us Filipinos don't really mind about.
Afterall, Manny is a Filipino and was once like us- a poor Filipino. We gamble to live! Everyday is in fact a game of chance, whether we make any bets or not. With all the dangers we face daily online or offline, none of us are sure whether any of us may ever return whole- the minute we step out of our doors!
And the sad thing about Manny going back to Advertising- is that, there is actually no chance for any poor Filipino to actually "make it"! Money- no matter how many Millions or Billions you may have of it one day- will always run out.
And those few Filthy Rich families actually running this country know that very well. And what they do not want us to know about their "wealth" is that they are not rich because they have money or properties. What they have is POWER! And from that Power comes all their Money, lands and properties that display their wealth..
The Gamblers never become Rich, and the "RICH" DO NOT GAMBLE- they dictate the games that everyone else plays- running, sweating and eking everyday to "earn" some of that meaningless Money.
Manny- no matter how rich he may still be after squandering uselessly his hard- earned Money in his failed attempt to be president…just like us- poor and penniless Pinoys, we have to continue betting in this gamble called "Life". We must all strive to live well and virtuously- following rules, forgiving those who don't and forgetting who or what we truly are- the sovereign of this very rich nation.

Can a School Commit
child abuse?
Technically, yes! The worst may be the Canada issue where Pope Francis, no less- deemed important to apologize on behalf of the Catholic Church for the murder of hundreds of indigenous children whose bones were found under a school run by religious missionaries.
Here in Marikina, yes, actually yes. It happens when everyone in the small community belueves that the owners of the small school are too holy to commit child abuse. Too rich and too powerful with their properties painted with murals of LET LENI RULE!
I wonder how the leaders in Canada also disbelieved every parent complaining about ghe school....
HAHAHAHA
hindi ako maglalabas ng...
Certification. Alam mo ba Kapitan Punzalan na iyang tinatawag na Barangay Certification ay isa sa mga natatanging serbisyo na sa Barangay lang nakukuha? Iyang lahat ng inyong ginagawa na iba, lahat nagagawa ng mga mas kwalipikado at supistikadong ahensya ng gobyerno.
Kaya, kung ano mang napapala ng iyong baranggay- gayong hindi naman pala rehistrado yang Infant Jesus Acedemy SHS Campus sa inyong nasasakupan- yari namang gaw-in mo anh ya- ong nararapat Kapitan.
HAHAHAHA patawa tawa ka pa. HAHAHAHA may 15 days ka mula nanĝ iyong matanggap ang request- ayon sa batas. Ilabas mo ang hinihingi sa iyo na katotohanan, Kapitan Punzalan ng Marikina Heights.
WHAT I LIKE TO EXPOSE
fake ideas
We send our kids to school. I don't know why you do- me its simple conformity. They need it- to be able to say- when they grow up that they in fact went to school.
There is in Marikina City a private school that pretends to be a Catholic School- even dares to use the name of Jesus when REAL CATHOLIC schools almost often don't- the best ones, at least don't dare blaspheme Jesus, ie. what if they get involved in something evil, right?
Ateneo, UST, Stella Maris, St. Paul, San Carlos, even LUSI- La Universidad de Santa Isabel, these are but few of the BEST among Catholic Schools. In Marikina, no REAL Catholic School has Jesus in its name: Marist, St. Scholastica, and Marikina Catholic School- no Jesus.
The owner of this jesus says it is not libel when you impute a crime, vice or defect against a student- HIS STUDENT. It is ok that he (his student) is dishonored by such imputation- as long as- the one who imputed "was only asked".
This Brilliant Lawyer- from UP Law (not sure) even probably served Pinoy at MTRCB while my brother was USEC in DepEd. His expertise- Children's Rights. Sometimes I see Pinoy's genius- to place a school owner to watch and rate movies as PG, R or X or # # #.
Should anyone care if a school promotes or commits child abuse? What if my only objective for sending my own kids to school is just for the sake of experience- shouldn't I be thankful that they get abused at school and by the school to make that experience- holistic? What do you think?
What if nga, Atty, I am asked- What did your school do exactly, why you EXPELLED ME (not my kids) shall I tell the truth the whole truth so help me God? Or shall you ask fb to take this down? Let's see- if 1dangkal ni JP is taken down for this. Take screen shots- it might be my las post.
Great Scientists
grand discoveries
There is a story attributed to Einstein about the teacher who wrote on the board 9x1=7. If it is in fact authored by him, it may be one of the greatest examples of the Knowledge he imparts. The lesson for the students who all laughed before the teacher admitted that the error was deliberate- pointing out that no one took note of the nine other things written on the board which were all correct!
"The world is ready to laugh at every mistake and to ridicule every error." The teacher said. Do not mistake the lesson here. It does not mean he intends to correct this observation about how mean this world of humans can be! It says what it means, if any lesson is worthwhile taking from this.
What qualification does one need to possess to called a scientist, anyway? Does one who acquires the same educational background as Einstein have a right to demand being called a "scientist"? At which point did Ramanujan become a "mathematician"? Was it while he was scribbling the solutions to mathematical problems- he deemed interesting to solve in front of Ganesh, not knowing some of them remained unsolved for hundreds of years; or was it when he was discovered and schooled by a Cambridge professor; or was it when he was finally recognized by other mathematicians and given a professorial chair a year before he died?
I am only guessing here, Einstein did not come up with E=MC squared to be called a Scientist or because he was one. Ramanujan, for his part did not go to school, he could not have known what a mathematician was since no one taught him the math operations God was revealing to him. But both Einstein and Ramanujan uncovered for us knowledge that helped shape the world- mostly for the good.
"Knowledge" what is it? In our youth we have been told- is what humans gained after Eve bit into the forbidden fruit, for the Christians and for Muslims, is what Allah gave man from the beginning and is given to every son of Adam. Either belief holds that man has the gift of Knowledge, itself or the gift of Intelligence which capacitates one to acquire Knowledge.
Which of us in this generation believe in our ability to acquire this Knowledge? NEW Knowledge. Knowledge that no man knew before? Useful knowledge that may help mankond into the future? Or knowledge that may change the world.
What knowledge has Hawking contributed to shape your world or help your life today? When will that black hole of his mean anything to anyone's life? Really. Job (from the bible), has beat him on that subject of a place where light itself is dark! Satan in fact, was sentenced by God to be cast to that place- from which punishment he only appealed to be delayed until Judgment Day.
Job's physical affliction while he was being tested by Satan with God's approval reached a point when he wanted to be in that place even Satan was not willing to go to! Hawking must have read the Bible to feel authoritative enough, to make "theological" claims despite his expertise being in "cosmology". In law, these types of decalarations are called obiter dictum at best. But why did Hawking say "There is No God"?
Wasn't he like Job- exasperated at the Miraculuous length of life he knew God gifted him- to suffer ALS longer than anyone with ALS ever suffered, in that chair wearing a mocrophone everyday when he could not even speak, keeping his brain sharp to understand how helpless he is as he is brilliant?
But as I have disproven Hawking easily in the preceding post, his statement was probably no "error". This is just like the 9x1=7 Einstein tells us in his story. Hawking died soon after denying the existence of God. His long delayed death since having ALS made his life too boring, to even explore the subject of how God "thinks" and back to God's inexistence. What would indeed be much better than to simply fly into that "black hole" which is where God sends everyone who deny his existence! He said this on purpose.
FAUX PAS
a fall from grace
When that robotic voice of Stephen Hawking spoke the words: "There is no God" with unmoving lips, I can only imagine what curses came out of the Pope's tongue! How does one disprove this great scientist who spoke only of so many truths?
It is simple, I believe- by science itself. Hawking dismally failed to use the scientific method. From his "Brief Answers to Brief Questions" and his other works on the question of God's existence, I have not noticed any notable effort to prove the non- existence of Evil so I stopped searching. He failed to apply Newton's First Rule- "Understand the Problem"!
Only an equal amount of logic that convincingly disproves the non- existence of Satan and God's creations must first be presented before the non- existence of God may only begin to be argued. And this may only be possible to be understood by whoever may still exist at the end of TIME.
Hawking, great as he is, did not do a great job presenting a thorough Review of Related Literature. From the Book of Job, alone- any philosopher (whom he also said are waste of space, as philosophy is waste of time) can already grill him to death. And on the question of where he expected to find himself after his death- obviously his idea was wrong.
Stephen Hawking is now in that place where "dark is the darkest" and the "light is still dark", this statement I claim as this was promised by God- which no one can disprove. In this place much like but not like a black hole (he is known for this, right?). Both Einstein and Newton laughing at him- wherever their souls may be. The former having first worked on the question of time, the latter having taught them both how to think like God.
In his Brief Answers, why wasn't the Brief Question asked: since his robot voice (the state of the art TTS- look this up in your phone settings) was invented: "Why wasn't there any upgrade to his voice program". Then I must also ask for myself: Can I try out that technology he used for my Dad? How many other patients with functioning brains and damaged vocal functions are hooked up with this invention used on him since the 1980's?
Is he one of those "wise men taught of their fathers..." and then "kept for himself"? The educated fools will ask, "who is he to say Hawking is wrong?" Knowledge does not come from Man!
SEQUELS
endings and beginnings
I started this page 1dangkal to express my ideas. All content here are original because I used this as an outlet for the painful stream of thoughts- that comes with the curse of biting the fruit from the forbidden tree. After learning this was a censored medium, having been denied the "freedom of reach"- am back to my notes. Whatever I post here- serves a purpose.
Did John Wick really die? I over- heard the other day from other people's conversations in a restaurant. Boom, I don't want to watch it anymore- first purpose is to "share" the spoiler and am not sorry to Ayala- he ain't getting your ticket money for this movie. Maybe I just made your kid happy- for the P 2,000 you saved for whatever toy you are now buying from Gokongwei.
Afterall, it is still the lenten season. 40 days of reflection is not too much to ask from the 365 days were given- treat it as e- VAT the new ika-pu. You find this tax in Judaism, Islam and so on and so forth! But unlike a tax in the unequal wealth God gives us- we are all given equal time for each day we remain alive.
TIME is my main purpose. For all of God's creatures- TIME is given to us at the beginning, and like God we give "our" time for our own creations- which are either for the furtherance of GOOD or EVIL. We also use our time to join with others in pursuit of either GOOD or EVIL or in the furtherance or destruction of other creatures' GOOD or EVIL creations! We must be mindful of how and for what purpose we use our God- given TIME.
TIME is the currency of existence. God is the only giver or for that matter- taker of time, and whenever we collaborate with Evil to disrupt others' timelines in their work- along God's plan, be well aware that what we think are endings are actually just beginnings of SEQUELS that shall include not only the resumption of God's work but also the destruction of the evil- doer's existence.
I share thus this truth I learned from my lenten reflections and I thank God for leading me to this knowledge as he revealed to prophet Muhammad. Yes, I am Catholic but somehow it was the Qur'an that ended my quest for an answer whether God may give me anything else- sinful as I am. And yes! It was revealed to the prophet that after sentencing Satan for his disobedience, Satan appealed to be given LIMITED TIME. And did God grant what the devil prayed for? Yes.
The Qur'an is a very difficult book to read- and I am already referring to the English translations. I am aware I have not been granted the gift our Muslim brothers and sisters possess to read it with ease. I recognize God's works this way- from every knowledge that escapes all our attention from what is plain to see and everything that cannot be understood from what is plain to read.
Our Bible is also hard to understand. But compared to reading Supreme Court decisions, which I usually am able to digest and remeber mentally with one skimming into facts, law, findings and ratio, I cannot commit to memory a single chapter in the Bible. While the Qur'an- which was written later, I treat this as version 2.0 has text which are easier to understand and apply for each Biblical subject, it is also like a maze because I find it disorganized.
Now back to the subject of TIME. Sharing this message takes very little of your time so this may reach as warning to the intended audience: those who devoted their time straying others from the path of righteousness, or have used their time to destroy others works and lives, and those who are now enjoying their time taken from others' sweat and blood, or taking for themselves what was intended for others, and those who are still doing these now, to surprise their victims- to pray for Satan's help ensure that what they believe was ended by their evil, may never ressurect to haunt them.
God will deny peaceful sleep for the rest of every evil doers' time. What they have taken away, they must stand guard day and night, lest it be taken back many times over. Read Ezekiel 17 or find Samuel Jackson's lines (restaurant scene) in Pulp Fiction.
SATAN RULES
The Gods Must Be Crazy!
What may you think of someone (like me) who honestly rely on FAITH- in my belief that "God exists"... when I also state with the same conviction that "...in fact- there are not just 2 or 3 Gods but perhaps a Thousand More!"? Would anyone even take this statement seriously? Will censors in social media even bother to filter this as "misleading claim" and which claim here is in fact "false" or "partly- false" ? Or perhaps, these deserve to be Rated X or R?
This is not a joking matter, though. To us who are mostly Catholics, Christians or Muslim- the only question we deem serious is just: whether or not our God, Yahweh or Allah exists or not. Right? While the small number of Atheists rest comfortably assured of their untoppled victory in this century- old debate, ergo- the stupidity of the majority (us) in our belief in the existence of nothing!
So what's the point? You may wonder... Let me reveal THE TRUTH to each and everyone of you- reading this now: "None of you- as you are reading these words for the first time: still have in your mind, your brain, your memory any recollection about the first proposition: 'There Exists A Thousand Gods, or Perhaps Even More'". Anyone of you who may state that the truth as I just revealed- is false- no one may be able to present any verifiable proof or evidence of its general falsehood!
With these preceding three paragraphs, above I am publishing content which may as in fact it should- make a reader question the truth of a foundation in major religious doctrines- including my own religion. This heresy- in fact may have earned me an outright burning at the stake by the Inquisition (by the Protestants) had I written this two centuries back on paper in the United States. What punishment do you think is proper now- for writing these truths?
I write these- to challenge you to consider why so- called vanguards of the TRUTH are only concerned about the truth or falsity of claims of political, historical or pharmaceutical nature? Is politics or supllements more important than God? And why can't we question any single "fact" from history- ie, the 330 years of "cruelty and slavery" during the Spanish Colonization of the Philippines but are allowed to make claims about the exact location of the Garden of Eden!
Which truth is more immutable: the veracity of number of victims killed in the drug war published by Rappler or the number of baskets of bread and fish gathered in excess after a crowd of 5,000 ate out of the five loaves of bread and two pieces of fish the Jesus started to pass around. Even priests and pastors- deem it proper to come up with their own or borrow each others "logical explanations" as to where the excess actially came from... in an attempt to make "believable" what appears to be an impossible claim in the Bible! Can anything published by Rappler be questioned or contradicted without any danger of censorship?
Remember these subjects: Politics or Politicians, Historical Facts, Medicines and in select cases: Utilities, Mining and select Companies or their products. Say something about these subjects they may give you at best: "Freedom of Speech, but not Freedom of Reach". Elon Musk himself declared this to be his Twitter censorship policy- this is exactly what Maria Ressa's overaching message is worded- word for word. Does anyone who left twitter understand the "censorship" issues hurled against Elon Musk?
What is the truth, then about anything I write- if I myself began with a personal admission to the truth of God's existence after I also express my belief in such preposterous claim that there in fact exists a thousand Gods or more? Am I a liar or am I just crazy? Atty. Paglinawan- who claims the name Satan- would giggle at what Atheists would think... a belief in not just one God- but a thousand non- existent Gods! What the hell.
Thus, brace yourself for this: does anyone have any proof that Ganesh is not a God? How about Zeus? And I cannot fail to emphasize the innumerable dieties that some of our surviving Indigenous Communities still worship. How about each and every God worshipped by millions of followers in each religion in India, alone- who can tell me that all the Gods that more than a Billion people around the world believe in- are all farce? Can anyone who believes with faith in their God disprove any other God believed by another in faith? No they are not! Just as much as I am not even sure if my Catholic God is the same God in all Christian denominations- especially the Christian Churches in Pasadena St., Pasay City. I believe Venus is the best God for pastors specialized in solemnizing marriages in many Churches around Regional Trial Courts all over the country (what an odd peculiar attraction between faith and law) or around Casinos (another peculiarity) in Las Vegas. The ultimate TRUTH is there are PERHAPS even more Gods than we or the Gods know of.
To those who read up to this point, here is the bonus TRUTH- APPARENTLY NONE HAS TRIED TO DISPROVE NOR QUESTION THE EXISTENCE OF SATAN- the same EVIL entity recognized by most if not all religions devoted to any of the thousands of Gods- I believe exist! What do I deserve for revealing to you these TRUTHS? MEDIUM rare or WELL done at the STAKE house? Censorship or Freedom of Reach? Or Take Down? Or Excommunication? And that photo, is that actually...
Surviving The Flood
for first timers
To my friends and family currently suffering from the floods around the Panguil Bay and Iligan Straits, especially for first timers I hope you may be able to find some of these tips helpful:
1. Secure whatever Food can be saved from your houses immediately after the flood recedes- your refrigerator floats, if the freezer remained closed, save all uncontaminated food in coolers- or cook everything that is still clean.
2. If your vehicles were flooded- remove battery immediately. Do not even attempt to start any of it until you checked the oil, fuel and combustion chamber for water. Remove spark plugs- make sure no water is in the chamber- otherwise, you will have a hydrolock.
3. Keep your Electrical Mains Off, dry all sockets and switches, turn on one circuit at a time. Lights first then move from room to room without any appliances plugged.
4. Do not be "victims". Receding Flood Waters are the best cleaning agent. As the waters go down, there being no chance it may go up again, CLEAN UP WHILE THE FLOOD WATERS GO OUT. Scrub Walls and Floors and MUD Out- Before it Dries.
5. DO NOT THROW AWAY EVERYTHING. Despite how they look: Almost ALL Appliances can be cleaned, dried, and USED AGAIN; All fabrics CAN BE PRESSURE WASHED; good furniture can be cleaned up, except- wet matress- do not reuse them.
6. Never despair. Focus on your family and children's safety; and the tasks at hand. You survived- not to cry but to recover. Welcome every help, but never rely on help before you help your self or your neighbor.
7. Lastly, your government can only do so much. Be glad if you did not receive any helo as long as those in worse conditions are attended to.
I have survived many floods- it is just another risk we all share. The most important lesson I learned is to understand the scientific conditions resulting to this tragedy. Do not just leave that part to your officials- you owe it to yourself and every victim to know.
Hanging By A Thread
what we may easily lose
It was not too long ago- but it now seem like eons since I stopped writing. Temporarily. Then I saw this graphics I left unfinished but I cannot remember what I intendef to write about this photograph of PRRD shading his ballot for the past elections. Whatever it was, it no longer matters. We now face different battles and different issues.
But I do not believe it would be fair to throw away what message I forgot to express. The picture captures with such intensity the irony of oppression- by those who imagine themselves as weak and hapless victims to the evil this old man was only feared to unleash into this world. The evil of false accusation.
Digong never endangered democracy; it was only the freedom of people living in democracy that allowed them to perpetuate all those rumors. To disguise lies as heroic defense of so- called truths- both fantasy and imaginary. Yet, I write these not to defend this already much hated man. I write to remind myself- how the self- righteous turns anyone into a can.
To a hungry audience, a juicy lie will always be more truthful than an honest sob- story. Our friends, neighbors and even family are as quick as any by- stander in condemning us for any mischief told about us. And none of them are even brave enough to stand by to account for spreading any of these falsities.
It is hard to muster courage and strength to remain steadfast in the face of chismis. But if Digong made it til the end- so can I, so can we! Though we may never regain our lost credibility.
What Is The Matter With DOH?
who can run this behemoth
The question is not very hard to answer. Find anyone - just anyone with a notch of IQ higher than Duque then you would have appointed the best DOH Secretary, Mr. President. But just as we kept bugging President Duterte before you, we demand simply for a little bit of competence and some tiny amount of confidence when it comes to the appointment of a Health Secretary.
That person may even be Vergerie, but of course- as we all know with doctors... a Masters Degree in Public Health does not command that much respect as a Fellow in a College of some specialty. But your campaign promise is not forgotten, Mr. President that your cabinet will represent the best that this country can offer... so far, though, we seem to be way too fogiving with OIC's in many key positions in government.
To say that the Department of Health is a key cabinet position that deserve to be lead by a fulltime secretary, is an understatement. Until the next crisis strikes, there is no better time wasted wallowing in uncertainty than what we already lost with Vergerie as OIC. We do not have the luxury of waiting for an appointment to be made in the middle of the next catastrophe.

The Sugar- Sweetened Media
wants us to look somewhere else
Look up! Look to the left! Eyes Right! Look Everywhere but Never Straight. That's hegemony. Before 1972, the media has been under the control of sugar barons. After 1986, media slowly returned to the hands of oligarchs- whose roots are mostly traceable to sugar estates.

JUST LOST NOT GONE
The business of communication should never be centered on profits. Media professionals do not work- they serve in a vocation. This does not mean self emolation for communicators; but simply to give minimal observation of the values and integrity the public “assumes” them to be practicing. Freedom of Speech is an Individual Right. Do not mix it up with Freedom of the Press- this is a Collective Right of the Public to know and merely a Privilege for the Press.
