Filipinas victimized by White Slavers in Sabah, Malaysia.

     A special news report of a local network here in the Philippines revealed that hundreds of Filipino women are being recruited by unscrupulous persons to work as domestic helpers or waitresses in Sabah, Malaysia. The women were duped to work in decent jobs but once they arrive in Malaysia they are sold and locked up in brothels where they are forced to have sex with more than 10 different men everyday without any form of protection from sexually transmitted deseases.

     A lot of these women are enticed to work in Sabah which is very near Mindanao, the Southern most part of the Philippines by illegal recruiters who promise them high paying jobs abroad. Authorities here said they have a hard time stopping the illegal trade of human trafficking in the area because of many small motorized boats that "smuggle" the women to Sabah through the sea. Most of these poor women travel without any documents and are therefore helpless when they end up abused and maltreated abroad.

    It's really difficult to believe that white slavery still exist in such countries but it does happen a lot. Women are forced into prostitution and they cannot do anything about it once they have fallen into the hands of these white slavers in Sabah. These women are exposed to different sexually transmittable diseases like HIV/AIDS. Some of these brothels are being owned and managed by Filipinos and that's what bothers me most. Filipinos exploiting and manipulating their own kind, that's really disgusting.

    Our Government should do everything to stop these white slavers and human traffickers at all cost. We can't accept their reason that it's impossible to prevent such abuses on our women because of the easy way of smuggling them to Sabah, Malaysia. If that is the case then our Government should coordinate with the  Malaysian Authorities to form a task force consisting of Police Forces from both countries to rescue these hapless women and to arrest and jail their traffickers. Something must be done right now, the only way to stop these human traffickers is to act fast and decisively.

North Korea plans to launch a Satellite.

     Despite the dissent of the U.S. and the International Community, North Korea is determined to launch a rocket carrying its own satellite into space. The U.S., South Korea and Japan are threatening to shoot down the rocket if North Korea pushes through with its plans and that is one scary scenario. Everybody knows that North Korea has nuclear weapons, no thanks to the Chinese and the Soviets and that is very dangerous for every nation within its weapons range, including the Philippines.

     North Korea has been notorious about going apeshit very now and then, launching attacks on South Korea and always intimidating Japan. The stern warning from the U.S., South Korea and Japan about shooting down any rocket launched by the North Koreans increases the danger of a nuclear war in our region. It's anybody's guess what the crazy North Koreans would do if the U.S. and it's allies did shoot down its rocket. I really wouldn't want to find out what would happen next. It's just too scary!

     When the Fukoshima Nuclear Power Plant of Japan was damaged by the great Japanese quake and Tsunami and  began leaking radiation, everybody in Southeast Asia was scared shitless. We all know of the horrors of a nuclear radiation sickness from the vintage footage of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings 70 years ago, specially its long term effects on the Japanese survivors. Then there was the Chernobyl Nuclear disaster which scattered radiation all over Europe and caused the birth of deformed children.

     Nope, nobody wants to mess around with any radiation. Now a crazy, nuclear armed country being threatened to be met with military force is too scary even for a horror movie fanatic like me. Yup, it might be what the North Koreans have been waiting for all these years, the chance to blow up the entire Southeast Asian region into smithereens. Yeah, I bet North Korea wants to see what those nuclear weapons can really do and they are probably tired of just keeping it inside their bunkers for so many years.

     We better pray guys,nuclear weapons are not to be taken lightly. Once it is launched, it will have disastrous consequences. It could make us all dead or worse die slowly from radiation exposure. Now, doesn't that scare you too?

6 Filipinos Busted for Drugs in New Jersey.

     A news report said that 6 Filipinos were arrested in a drug raid in New Jersey, USA. About $15,000 worth of "shabu", rock or meth was seized from their possession. The report was a bit sketchy as U.S. Authorities were not keen on revealing the 6 Pinoys caught in the drug bust prior to the filing of charges. The Philippine Embassy in the U.S. is now checking if the Filipinos involved were U.S. citizens or not.

     These Filipinos or Filipino-Americans are a disgrace to our country, they are also dumb, crazy or desperate or all of the aforementioned. What the hell are they doing messing around with large scores of drugs in their possession? Don't they know about the strict laws on drug pushing in that country? I know its not outright illegal to possess drugs for "personal use"in America but it is prohibited to own too much. I bet $15,000 worth of meth is too much for "personal use".

     Maybe these Filipinos thought that they are in the Philippines where they can peddle drugs as if it's just a piece of candy. In our country drug pushing and drug use is rampant due to the economic difficulty and lack of jobs and of course, because a lot of people are so stupid messing around with it. Could it be that the U.S. recession is forcing people in America to sell drugs to survive the "hard times"? I certainly hope that is not the reason why these Pinoys  resorted to drug pushing.

     Whatever drove these 6 dumb ass Pinoys to mess around with drugs in New Jersey is their problem, only one thing is for sure, they're going to jail. Our jails here are very much different from those in the U.S. (nope, I've never been inside a jail cell before). In my country jails are  not so bad if you have lots of money, you can pay someone to do everything for you. You can have everything you want if you can afford the price. You can have your own private air-conditioned room, private bathroom, TV, PC with internet, cell phones, etc.

     Heck, you can even buy or let someone cook your favorite food if you don't like the meals provided by the prison. I mean, where on Earth can you find a prison where it has its own "talipapa" or mini market? In our jails, the inmates have the right to "conjugal visits" with their wives or girlfriends and they can even pay for the services of prostitutes. They can get laid anytime they want right inside the prison where they can rent "private cubicles". I don't think any country can beat our one of a kind prison system.

     Yes sirs, these 6 Pinoys are really brainless. I don't think U.S. Prisons are that "Inmate Friendly" like most of our jails here. But them again, maybe these 6 Pinoys in New Jersey wanted to find out how inmates in U.S. jails welcome new comers. I bet these 6 stooges will end up as someone's bitches inside the prison. Well, good luck to them and I hope they enjoy becoming prison bitches.

Filipina OFW acts "weird" aboard a plane from Syria.

     A female Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) began acting weird aboard a flight from war torn Syria. The OFW was noticed by fellow passengers as showing signs of irrational behavior during the flight and the plane crew was alerted. She was then let off the plane once it landed in Bangkok, Thailand where the aircraft was scheduled for a stopover.

     The poor Pinay OFW was then rushed to the hospital located within the airport where she was calmed down with the use of sedatives. When a TV News reporter from the Philippines went to Bangkok to verify the OFW's condition, the news team was informed that the Filipina was already discharged from the hospital and was put on a flight bound for the Philippines. It was later learned that the OFW went home somewhere in Mindanao.

     The unfortunate woman could have been a victim of maltreatment or abuse by her employers and not just distressed by the war in Syria. A lot of suffering both physically, mentally and sexually could have been inflicted on her which caused such a state of mind. That is often the dreadful consequence of working abroad; OFWs are ending up physically, mentally, sexually and emotionally battered. Sometimes they end up dead and are brought home inside a coffin with their internal organs missing.

     Let's call on the Government to help protect its citizens here and abroad. It's not enough to just call them as "New Heroes" or "Bagong Bayani" and then forget about them once they end up injured, impaired or dead overseas. These are the people that kept our economy afloat during these hard and difficult times. When all the rich and well-developed nations suffered Global Economic Slowdowns, Recessions and Depressions; the Philippines was not so much affected and devastated because of the billions of pesos from OFW remittances.

    YUP, IT'S NOT THE BRILLIANT POLITICIANS, MARVELOUS GOVERNMENT LEADERS AND EXCEPTIONAL ECONOMIC EXPERTS THAT KEPT OUR COUNTRY SURVIVING ALL THESE YEARS, AS A MATTER OF FACT; THEY ARE THE ONES WHO KEPT PLUNGING OUR COUNTRY INTO NEAR EXTINCTION. It's our OFWs and honest citizens that have kept us alive and well. I hope the Government will take care of our OFWs better because they are truly the ones who kept our country from going down the drain for the past 30 or more years.

Government Should Suspend the 12% VAT on Oil Products

     The Aquino Administration should temporarily suspend the 12% Value Added Tax (VAT) on all Petroleum products to lessen the impact of the high prices of fuel. The spiraling fuel prices have been heavily burdening the poor and ordinary Juan Dela Cruzes who can barely make ends meet. 

     Various transport groups and countless activists have been clamoring the Government to temporarily suspend the 12% VAT on fuel products due to the weekly fuel hikes but it all fell on deaf ears. The soaring world oil prices are due o the U.S.-Iran tension and the civil unrest in Syria. The tension between U.S. and Iran may end up into another Gulf War and that is pushing the oil prices to record levels.

     If a shooting war erupts between the U.S. and Iran, we can all kiss our fossil fueled contraptions goodbye and we better start using our muscle power for mobility. Yup, if the price of fuel goes sky high it will surely make all our lives miserable. Hell, most Filipinos now can't afford to cook their food using cooking gas or LPG, so they use charcoal or wood which means more trees are being cut down somewhere. So we can kiss our hopes of preventing Global Warming or Climate Change from happening as well.

     Unfortunately, the Government will never remove, suspend or even lessen the 12% VAT even if all hell breaks loose in the Middle East. Politicians always tell the public that the VAT cannot be suspended because it's needed to make the Government run efficiently and to provide better services. We all know that's pure bullshit.

     We all know better, the Government will never suspend the 12% VAT come hell or high water because it's where they steal the billions and billions of taxes that they collect from all of us Juan Dela Cruzes. It's because of the VAT that these Politicians get FAT, from our hard earned money.

     So they don't care if we all fall down on our knees and beg them to cut us a little slack during these difficult times. No sir, these Government Officials will suck every last centavo from Juan Dela Cruz and not even feel guilty about it. 100% pure VERMIN!

Syrian Government Bans OFWs.

     The Syrian Government recently issued a ban on Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) from entering their country after the Philippine Government ordered that all OFWs in Syria must be repatriated or must return home due to the ongoing war. The Syrian Officials were apparently irked at the decision of the Philippine Government which was intended to assure the safety of its citizens working abroad.

     I guess the Syrians can ban all Filipinos from entering their country and it wouldn't make any difference. OFWs will probably avoid their country like it has the plague or something because of the civil unrest there. Filipinos maybe desperate in finding work here and abroad but I bet nobody wants to end up as target practice for any amount of money. Nope, Pinoys are not that desperate nor are they that stupid.

     There are a lot of countries all over the world that would still hire our Filipino workers so the Syrians can enforce the ban forever if they want to. It's better to let them kill each other not be involved in their conflict because once the smoke clears; they will start hiring OFWs all over again. Why? Our OFWs are simply the best workers that  they can find at such cheap salaries. When it comes to good performance and high tolerance for abusive employers, nobody can beat the Filipino worker. So go ahead and enforce the ban, sooner or later they will lift it again.

New Born Baby Placed in a Bag and Hanged on a Tree Branch.

     A newly born baby girl was found placed inside a plastic grocery bag and was suspended on a tree branch. Residents thought it was a kitten inside the plastic bag but they were surprised to to find that it was baby. The baby was immediately rushed to the nearest hospital and was declared safe, doctors and nurses immediately cleaned the baby to prevent any infection or decease.


     Local folks in the area suspect that the baby was a result of unprotected sex among teenagers. It was a good thing that the mother of the baby let her child live and did not have an abortion. The way the baby was placed in a plastic bag and left hanging on a tree branch was obviously to attract a Good Samaritan to help take care of the infant.

     This is one of the reasons why I am not against the Government's Reproductive Health Bill (RH Bill). In my opinion, it is better to teach the youth and the sexually active people on how to prevent unwanted pregnancies by using effective and safe artificial methods of contraception. The use of condoms, pills, spermicidal and IUD's are not a form of abortion since it prevents the male sperm and the female egg from "meeting" so there is no conception taking place hence there is no abortion.

      I am a Catholic and I am against any form of abortion. Any means of terminating an innocent life should never be accepted, condoned or promoted by any individual or any Government. Using contraceptives is not a sin or is it in any way a form of abortion in my opinion and the Catholic Church's stand that all forms of artificial contraceptive is similar to abortion is simply erroneous.

     The Clergy believes that promoting the use of contraceptives will also encourage the youth to engage in premarital sex maybe true but still, resorting to abortion after getting pregnant is a lot worse than premarital sex. I hope the Government pushes through with its RH Bill; teach the the people how to control their reproductive system so they will never have to resort to aborting their unwanted pregnancies.

     An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. The Catholic Church says it's Pro-Life that is why it rejects the RH Bill. Well, if the Catholic Church is willing to pay for the check-ups of the pregnant woman, delivery charges, infant-milk formula, clothes, education and everything else of every baby born until it reaches adult life then let's obey what the Catholic Church wants.

     It's easy to say no to contraceptives when you don't have many mouths to feed. Besides, it's 2012 and not the Dark Ages where the Catholic Church used to control and dictate everything to its followers. There are no more burning at the stakes of non-believers so we can decide what is best for ourselves.
