Three Great Teachers

I know three great teachers - Socrates, Buddha, and Lord Jesus Christ.  May teachers walk the "roads" that they walked on.  The word, "teacher" is such a challenging and inspiring word to be attached to our name.  Yes, that word also serves as our daily compass.  

Each day of teaching is a discovery of every human person.  Every teaching moment expands the student and teacher's horizon.  I breathe.  I live.  I teach.  I perform.

Shall We Shut Up?


After the Mamasapano massacre, netizens expressed their dismay to the current administration.  The gravity of what has befallen in our nation was (and still is) deeper than six feet under.  January 30th as the National Day of Mourning should also be the National Day of Disgust for PNoy.  Of all the faute politique he has committed, his absence in the arrival of the SAF44 troops shall long be remembered.

Leah Navarro wrote on Twitter: “So how many of those people who dissed the President’s absence from Villamor were actually there to condole?”

To which Grace lee replied: “There is only one head of the State.  Only one commander in chief! You CANNOT compare the value of his presence to the presence of any ordinary citizen then use it against them when they voice out their frustration and anger!!”

I strongly agree with Grace on this one.

A part of myself wanted to keep quiet and tell myself to just let it be, focus on myself, be proactive, focus on your circle of influence, nothing will happen if you focus on your circle of concern.  I also want to rationalize on behalf of abNoy (absent Noy).  He carries a lot of burden.  The whole nation depends on him. Blah. Blah. Blah.

I JUST CANNOT.  I DON’T THINK THE FILIPINOS SHOULD SHUT UP.  BY ALL MEANS, LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD.

To fire up the rage, I had to listen to his effin’ speech about his father while he desperately attempt to sympathize to the bereaved of the befallen ones.  Seriously, is abNoy playing his daddy card again?  What a Joker! His mommy Cory used that daddy card to get into position, then Kris used the mommy card to be in ABS-CBN, then here go again the parents cards abNoy used to be in power - I cannot help but wonder when this card game would end.

To add salt to the wound, the Palace had to call what transpired as “mis-encounter”?  This disrespects the befallen as what really happened was a massacre, a mass murder.  Mis-encounter?  MILF mutilated many of the cadavers, who in his proper mind would believe such press statement?

Does the government think we are that stupid?  The government must really think that their rhetoric-filled PR communication plans would work on us.  Let us send them a message that who they are shouts so clearly, we cannot hear what they say. 


This is not the time to shut up.  Let them hear us until they tell us the truth.
