Philippine Media The Hostage Culprit!

One of the greatest contributor that led the hostage taking into failure is the Philippine Media. Admit it.

They are just performing their job in covering the hostage taking, and yes they commit one of the greatest mistake in handling the situation.

One of the guidelines in handling a hostage taking is this:

“always assume that the hostage taker, gunman or terrorist has access to the reporting. Avoid describing with words or showing with still photography and video any information that could divulge the tactics or positions of SWAT members. Fight the urge to become a player in any standoff . . . ." (excerpt from Bob Steele's Guidelines in handling hostage crisis, prison uprisings, terrorist action for the media)

There, did you read it clearly. As I can remember, the Philippine Media has divulged all necessary information that the hostage taker needs to know, every position of the Police and the SWAT, all.

Like What Venus Raj said: "its major major mistake" that media of today had done. We may shut our mouth and pretend that all blame is on the police, the SWAT (incompetent SWAT) , and the hostage taker. But you and I and everyone who breath life, knows that media also plays a vital role in covering the hostage crisis, but aren't it right to tell them that they had committed their greatest mistake in history?

What does Prayer does?

Prayer does everything!

Till Debt Do Us Part!

Awwwoooohhh!!!

I have just received my first credit card last Saturday and had it activated yesterday as i returned from San Fernando, La Union.

Is it an advantage or not having a credit card? Well its like The One Ring, in which you will be tempted at all times and one of your defense is self discipline, an attitude being taught to us since childhood.

Well I still have time to manage my finances well, with the aspect of having my self discipline. (there you have it Sherlock!)
As a Start, I will leave my credit card at home, safe and sound from all other temptations! well for a start, and the next step would be to have it on my purse while going shopping. hahaha.

May the credit card spare me from all credit troubles, till Debt do us part!

The Hobbits (or There and Back Again)

The Hobbit (2012)

Yehey!!! According to the sources (the powerful Web) malapit ng ilabas ang movie na about sa pag-tatagpo ng "One Ring" at ng hobbit na sa Bilbo Baggins (ang ninuno ni Gloria) hehehe. at Yun ay ang Pelikulang The Hobbits (Warner Bros. - Rumored Film company to produce)

I actually read the books on my trip to Ilocos, and kung ok lang po sa inyo, e ganto yung kwento: (Spoiler talaga ako!)

Bilbo was contracted by 12dwarves and Gandalf the grey on a mission towards the lonely mountain to defeat smaug the dragon, who stole the treasures of the dwarves. Of which good old Bilbo was marked as a thief! well this was all because of Gandalf labeled him so.

At first it was hard for Bilbo to be the Thief that his comrades expects him to be, even if he is quite quick to move, sharp eyed, and has a keen hearing, for he is not a thief at all!

After finding the ring and escaping Gollum from in misty mountains, who would want to eat him that time, he suddenly became accustomed of being a thief, escaping and being the guide for them.

The book, I do not know about the movie, is packed with adventures that one can imagine. adventures other than defeating the dragon Smaug (they are not the one who defeated Smaug), full of Goblins, Trolls, Wolves, Eagles, Wood-Elves, Warrior, Dwarves, Poisonous Spiders, and of course Middle earth scenery with lots of runes!

Runes is considered as the Roman letter or the Alphabet we are reading right now.

Peter Jackson will direct the Hobbits as rumored director del toro already expressed that he will not direct the hobbits anymore. Ian Mackellen, will be Gandalf the Grey, Hugo Weaving as Elrond, Cate Blanchet as Lady Galadriel, Andy Serkis as Gollum (rumored), Rumored Bilbo baggins are: Toby Maguire, Shia Lebeouf, Sylvester Maccoy, Daniel Radcliff.

Cant wait to watch and add the Hobbits the movie in my collections!

Or there and Back Again!
(yaahhhoooo!!!!)

ROTC sa Kolehiyo!

Bigla akong nagulat marinig ang balita na ang ROTC ay ibabalik "daw" sa kolehiyo bilang isang mandated course instead of being optional and in replaced of the community service.

Pasintabi, para sa mga hindi nakakaalam ng ROTC, it stands for Reserved Officers' Training Corps na unang na-established dito sa Pinas sa University of the Philippines noong 1912 at ang adhikain nito ay ang pagtrain sa atin sa leadership, problem solving, strategic planning, at professional ethics. (source: Mr Wiki Pedia)

The opinion is not always favorable in all instance of an idea, there will always be pros and cons.

PROS: it would be great to see ROTC back in college as a mandatory course to instill in our students the values of discipline that most of the Pinoys dont possess right now and would greatly help in training our men in terms of emergency, not necessarily war or combat, but like floods and typhoons and other similar events.

This would train Filipinos to be alert and useful in any possible need that may arise.

CONS: Papanu daw ang mga bading? sana ma-exempt naman daw sila sa ROTC dahil di daw nila kaya yun. (tama ba yun?)
maging additional units sya na babayaran ng mga magulang sa kolehiyo! (sino ba dapat magbayad?)

Which I remember a very distinguish man (Fr. Rev. Reynaldo Jimenez) Education up to secondary is indeed a must for every student that we should not take away from them, but having you tertiary education is a privilege already which you must earned with all your might if your not in a good state - financially. U need to earn it so that you will live by it through your life.

Oo nga naman!

So ROTC in college is indeed a privilege, na karamihan sa atin ang tingin sa kolehiyo ay isang daan lang para magkaruon ng diploma at makapagtrabaho.

Iba na kasi ang mindset ni Juan pagsinabing kolehiyo. teka teka bakit sa side topic umikot ang kwentuhan? sana pala kolehiyo nalang pinagusapan natin (hehehehe)

ROTC, magandang adhikain, or kadagdagan lamang sa pwedeng maabuso sa hazing?
ROTC, kaya mo bang patatagin ang mga Eba na dating Adan?

Pero naisip ko palang maraming bata (like me, feeling you always) ang magrereklamo, ayaw kasi mapagod, maarawan, mapawisan, at magalusan. Kaya siguro wala ng ibang alam gawin ang katawan kundi ang maglaro ng "bahay-bahayan" at dumami, or kaya maglaro ng computer games na astig at cruel.

O anu ba anu ba? ROTC sino ka ba talaga?

PNoy Confidence Rating- 85%

Malufet!

While watching ANC last night, the performance rating of the president-elect NoyNoy Aquino stands at 85% as per rating and survey of PulseAsia. And along the way, two Pinoys were interviewed as to address the report on performance rating, well, as the saying goes you have to see the opinion of both parties and these opinions will attest to their assertions.

Well, opinions goes into both side, the dumb and the wise.

(guess who's the Dumb!)

Woman: Mataas ang expectations ng mga Pinoy kay Noynoy kasi yung sa No Wangwang Policy nya, tinupad nya talaga! kaya tumaas ang kumpyansa ng mga Filipino sa kanya.

Man: Lagi naman mataas ang survey rating kapag bago ang Presidente, and eventually goes down as the time of his Presidency transpires. mataas lang talaga ang kay NoyNoy compared to other Presidents, but we'll see if survey's holds true through his term.

haAy. . .naisip ko tuloy bakit bilib na bilib sila sa No wang wang policy ni P-Noy?


TAKOT SIGURO ANG PERA SA WANG WANG.
