Metro Buses limited at 40kph.

     The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) Chief Mar Roxas is set to limit the speed of Metro Manila buses at 40kph maximum. This is in line with the various accidents involving these highway behemoths which have already claimed so many innocent lives. Metro Manila buses are notorious at regularly breaking the speed limits due to the competition or "race" against other buses for getting the most number of passengers.

     Most of the bus drivers plying the Metro routes are reckless and sometimes high on drugs to be able to drive for more than 12 hours or more none stop. The competition is so tough between bus companies and drivers due to the constant rising of fuel prices and the high number of buses plying the same routes. It's no mystery why these highway monsters travel at break neck speeds to get the most commuters on the streets. Believe me, when you get inside a bus in the Metro, you better hold on for your dear life and make sure to pray for your safety.

     The DOTC is strictly implementing the 40kph rule next month and all buses are to be fitted with speed limiters to make sure that they will comply with the order. All bus companies must abide by the rule and they must not tamper with the speed limiters or else the entire bus fleet will be prevented from plying their routes.

     Now, that's a good move from the Government, anything that will make the streets and highways of our nation safer and ensure our well-being will get my approval. Let's just hope that the DOTC Inspectors won't get bribed by the bus operators to look the other way when the speed limiters are tinkered with. Let's wait and see what happens next month on our busy and deadly thoroughfares.

Fraternity Leader, 30 others face Expulsion.

     Lambda Rho Beta Fraternity leader Eduardo Escobar and 30 other members involved in the hazing and murder of San Beda College law freshman Marvin Reglos faces possible expulsion from the school. This is according to the San Beda College Administration. The college have been discouraging the various fraternities in its school from any hazing activities but it was still continued secretly. It seems that age old traditions are hard to break, even if it means killing another human being.

     Most of the fraternity senior members or alumni defended their brotherhood, citing the various beneficial and advantageous benefits of being a frat member. That's fine but all of these benefits are worthless if human lives are at risk. Sure, not all frat members die during the initiation rites and only a few "unlucky ones" accidentally conk out but still, a death of a single innocent person negates all the benefits that an institution may provide.

     Most of the hazing deaths in the country involves law students and this is a bad onset to our future lawmakers. Lawyers are supposed to defend the legal rights of all individuals regardless of their social stature. They are like doctors who take an oath to provide medical remedy to the people. Lawyers also take an oath to look after the legal rights of the populace. But if from the very start of their learning process these future lawyers are already breaking the laws which they are supposed to uphold and support, then how could they morally serve the general public after graduating from school?

     No wonder there is a quote that says, "Let's shoot all the lawyers and we'll have a better society" or something to that effect. I do agree, most of the time lawyers make legal things so complicated and complex than it really should. Just look at our leaders, it's wrong to lie, cheat and steal but somehow they all know how to make every wrong thing they do to become so legally right.

Senators and Congressmen Condemn Hazing Murder.

     A lot of Statesmen have joined the bandwagon in condemning the death of hazing victim Marvin Reglos even if most of them admitted that they are also members of various fraternity groups. They all openly expressed their disgust, dismay and revulsion at the perpetrators while at the same time cited the benefits of joining fraternities without the usual violence involved.

     It's nice to know that these Solons care but deep inside you can't just believe that they are really sincere in what they are saying. How can you condemn, criticize and rebuke something that you are also  part of? How can one criticize something and then also commend its good points? These politicians are yanking our chains again. They are just using the death of a poor hazing victim to gain media mileage.

     An individual with good moral fiber cannot be neutral in issues like this senseless and brutal murder of an innocent human being. It's either you're hot or cold, never lukewarm....that's the bottom line.

Corona and Marcos are Similar?

     A lady activist said that Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona is similar to the former dictator Ex-Pres. Ferdinand E. Marcos and I do agree with her. I believe that the Chief Thief Corona is comparable to King of Thieves Marcos at the following points: 1) Both refuse to step down from their posts. 2) Both stole millions or billions from the government and the masses. 3) Both used their intellect to enrich themselves rather than to serve the masses.

     Former dictator Marcos ruled for more than 20 years in our country and thousands of people who opposed his tyranny were either killed or were wiped out by the Police or by the Military. Although Corona would pale in comparison to the ill-gotten wealth of Marcos, both of them are thieves. Graft and corruption seems to be their middle name, both are cut from the same tree.

     Instead of serving the Filipino people and using their God given intelligence (or is it a gift from the Devil?) to uplift our nation and our lives, they exploited and manipulated us all for their own benefits. They raped out nation and our citizenry. One could compare them to Judas who betrayed Jesus for a few pieces of silver but in their case, they screwed us with millions or billions of pesos. They should have hanged themselves to the nearest tree they could find but unlike Judas, they have no conscience.

     Yes, all Politicians and Leaders in our Government are identical with Ferdinand Marcos and Renato Corona; they all LIE, CHEAT and STEAL. The former dictator taught his political and military cronies well, so well that after so many generations have passed, graft and corruption is so deeply entrenched in our nation. Before Ferdinand Marcos came to rule our nation, most public servants were honest and decent. After his more than 20 year rule, all politicians, leaders and government workers and their decendants are immoral and corrupt.

     This immorality and wickedness in our political leaders and in our government will remain for many more generations to come. No thanks for Mr. Ferdinand Marcos and to all the politicians and leaders like him, may his soul and all the rest of them burn in hell for eternity for ruining the lives and future of the Filipino people....

U.S.-Iran Crisis= Sky Rocketing Fuel Prices!

     The recent tension between the U.S. and Iran has threatened to make fuel prices to rise again in the next few days. Fears of an escalation of the crisis have increased oil rates daily in the world market. If a shooting war in the Persian Gulf happens then the whole world is going to experience extreme costs at the gas pumps.

     The whole world should put their efforts at discovering a new and renewable source of fuel for all our power and transportation needs. This is the only way to stop oil wars between nations and to keep the economies of all nations moving forward. Without energy and fuel, all our factories and transportation machineries will ground to a halt. All economy will stop growing, everything will cease to move.

     It's entirely our fault, we rested on our laurels and forgot the fact that oil will someday run out and that the nations that supply them will get greedy and raise their prices everyday. This has been happening since the 1970's, during the first oil crisis but we're all too lazy and stupid to discover a new fuel source. We need a new fuel that is more efficient, economical, environment friendly, abundant and renewable. Like power from solar, wind, water,etc. The brightest scientists will figure something out, you can bet on that.

Frat Leader Escobar: It Wasn't Me!

     San Beda College Frat leader Eduardo Escobar quickly denied his involvement in the hazing incident which claimed the life of law freshman Marvin Reglos. This guy refused to give any statements to the NBI and to the media without the consent of his lawyer and yet he pledged to give his full cooperation to the authorities for the speedy solution of the hazing murder.

     I'm already beginning to detest this guy. He's swift at disavowing his involvement and quick to promise cooperation with the investigators but he keeps his mouth shut all the time. Another case of a young crook in the making. I bet this guy belongs to a family of political crooks that's why he's acting like a professional felon at such a young age.

     The whole world seems to be run and controlled by criminals, villains, outlaws and scoundrels. Where are the honest, decent and God-fearing people nowadays? And these youngsters are expected to take the reins of our Government in the future? That's one scary scenario!!!

President Aquino Clears Classmate!

     Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (PAGCOR) Chairman Cristino Naguiat who was accused of receiving bribes from a Japanese gambling tycoon connected with the Wynn Resorts was immediately cleared by President Noynoy Aquino. It turns out that Pres. Aquino and Chairman Naguiat were former classmates in Ateneo. Now, isn't that something? Even if you break the law as long as you're a friend, former classmate or a firearm shooting buddy of the President, you will be exonerated of all charges.

     Is that the way our President runs his premiership? If it is then all Filipinos are again in deep shit! Why do we always end up electing the most stupid and corrupt leaders to run our country? We're always making the same mistakes over and over again, are we a cursed race, nation or something? First we elected Ferdinand Marcos in the 1960's, then Joseph Estrada in the 1990's, then Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and now Pres. Noynoy Aquino might also be a bad leader?

     A good leader should not tolerate bad eggs in his government. He should fire them or punish them if they commit illegal acts and not quickly exculpate them. A through investigation should be made before they are absolved from all offenses. Just like the Cabinet Member who packs an AK-47 assault rifle in his car for protection and who loves to buy pirated DVDs. The President should have fired his sorry ass faster than he can spell Kalashnikov! But then again, what good can you expect from a President who's willing to defy the highest court in the country so his family can keep their hands on more than 5,000 hectares of prime real state and farm land. Once a crook always a crook? Let's keep watching his moves and will soon find out......
