I hold you to the words you are writing. You blamed Bush for the balanced budget disappearing. I don't know if you are capable of holding a memory that happen yesterday. You have forgotten that Bush was a war President, two wars in his term; Katrina & Rita, three major hurricanes that destroyed Florida and the gulf coast, Annual fires ravaging California that dependent on Bush to declare those as disaster areas too. Then the Democrats protest any move by the Republican to reform the Fannie Mae and Freddi Mac because of policy created by Democrats on home buyers that had no income. Greenlining was opposed by Democrats. Bush fought the good wars, maintained the economy until Obama and his handlers created a hoax about worst economy, and unemployment in 5%. People like you believed his lies, about high debts in $500 billion and worst unemployment and depression since 1932!   In less than a year Obama committed $3 trillion debts, before his term is over projected to $27 trillion, ...

I can clearly see you are smart and alert socialist liberal. Your transparency is what Obama should have done based on his campaign promises. His fundamental change is very complete and thorough, after all the bailouts, cap & trade and Obamacare, while dubbing on clunkers on one hand and junketing the world over to apologize and bow to king and despot; the result is new America.   We are now weak in military, sale out on manufacturing, good job is now out of American soil. Jobless rate his the highest in 50 years, spending borrowed money five times more than the last four Presidents combined. He stole the future of our children, paid the ACLU, SEIU, Acorn and the communist party of America who sent him to the White House.   Now he buys the vote of Congressmen and Senators to agree to his Taxing program promoted as Health reform. Your anointed one is a complete failure, nothing in his travel bring any good, but carbon foot prints in his face like the barren landscape of Kenya. Bes...

The power grabs, the excesses and abuse of Barack Hussein Obama and his communist recruits has no bound, promoting an insidious belief that Obama is the anointed one. Obama's  belief is he alone, not Congress, nor Senate has the power to bind this Country, the USA, to whatever grand hallucinating idea, oozing from the chips of his skeleton, he can read from teleprompters. This narcissistic arrogant, naive, ignorant does not have idea how to even run a candy store, yet this joy riding misfit thinks not only can he govern the country but also the whole world!

By Boy Guingguing Sunday Post This BGlante is adding his hoarse voice in this wilderness that has become the talk of the town. Though we are thousands of miles away from where the action is, we feel that as a law abiding Filipino citizen, we should not keep our mouth shut, just because we are far from the maddening crowd.     What happened in Maguindanao and the subsequent declaration of martial law in the area is everybody's concern. Our concern though we are so far away from a war-torn province, was premised on our heightened fears that sooner or later the Maguindanao incident may be used as a stepping board to a wider military rule.     While we  do not wish to sound alarmist, we cannot help but quiver at the thought that this present government is resorting to such extreme measure as martial law because that's an attractive  option to stay in power beyond its term limit.     All indications point that this government is using all the tricks in the books t...

Where does the Pacman draw his extraordinary strength and speed? The myth surrounding boxing icon Manny Pacquiao has become legendary. After his glorious boxing years, people following the sport would likely say he belongs to the best of the best among many athletes installed in the Hall of Fame. The Filipino icon is set to grab today in Las Vegas, USA his seventh world title in seven different weight classes, a feat that will secure his name in the history of boxing. Among predictions, a win over Puerto Rico's Miguel Cotto will be via knockout. Accounts have it that before Pacquiao climbs the ring , he says a shaman's prayer which draws his deepest power and stamina. We only see Pacquiao hold a rosary in his hands when he climbs the ring which may be the reason why boxing fanatics think of talismans or amulets instead of a disciplined boxer and his fervent belief in his Creator. After Pacquiao defeated boxing greats whom he stripped of their crowns, people tried to expla...

Over the course of 2009, a consistent theme that Google has been involved with is that of speed. In announcement after announcement, Google has talked about the importance of speed on the web, and how the company wants to do everything it can to make the web a faster place. Has it occurred to you that how fast your page loads may have a direct effect on how your site ranks in Google?  Don't worry, it hasn't had an impact...yet. In an interview with WebProNews , Google's Matt Cutts told us that speed may soon be a ranking factor.  "Historically, we haven't had to use it in our search rankings, but a lot of people within Google think that the web should be fast," says Cutts. "It should be a good experience, and so it's sort of fair to say that if you're a fast site, maybe you should get a little bit of a bonus. If you really have an awfully slow site, then maybe users don't want that as much." "I think a lot of people in 2010 are g...

Almost 11 million children die before their fifth birthday each year. Malnutrition and hunger-related diseases cause 60 percent of these deaths. A young boy named Agiskhan in Myanmar was at risk of becoming part of this statistic, often crying to his mother, Hasina: "Mother, I am very hungry now and my younger sisters are crying — we haven't eaten anything since last night." Children like Agiskhan should never have to wonder where their next meal is coming from. We need your help today to fight hunger. CARE's response to hunger is more than providing emergency food. We combine immediate aid to those in dire need — as we did for survivors of three natural disasters in September — with long-term strategies that help communities create lasting solutions to the challenges they face. In the case of Agiskhan, CARE helped his mother gain access to tools and training that she used to cultivate a thriving garden. She is able to provide for her family's well-being ...

by Bob Gilbreath "Four years ago I grew frustrated with the lack of brand investment in digital marketing and set out to understand the fundamental reasons why this promising new space was still only attracting a small sliver of marketers' multi-million -dollar budgets. [...] I set out to discover an alternative path, starting with the handful of our clients that had put digital in the forefront of their strategy , and then broadening my vision to companies that seemed to be enjoying success with a completely different course [...] This manifesto brings my search full circle, providing a supplement to The Next Evolution of Marketing that specifically focuses on how brand managers must reset their digital strategy to win customers in this new space."

By Daniel Silva Agence France-Presse Campaigners are stepping up efforts to curb online tracking of Internet use by firms that deliver adverts tailored to the specific interests of consumers, as polls reveal widespread unease with the practice. Corporations have always collected personal data on the people who buy their products but in the past this information came from sources such as magazine subscriptions and warranty cards, experts at a three-day privacy conference that wrapped up Friday in Madrid said. Now it is flowing at breakneck speed into databases from multiple online sources , from dating services to newspaper websites, giving companies the unprecedented power to create detailed profiles of their customers, in many cases without their being aware of it, they added. "There are so many grey areas in advertising that if the end user knew about it all, it would make their hair grey," said Jorg Polakiewicz, the head of the law reform department at the Council of ...

By Kelly K. Spors and Kevin Salwen With roughly 6.7 million jobs lost since the start of the recession, it's tempting - and often a great idea - to launch your own business. That way, of course, you can take matters into your own hands. No more rolling your eyes at the boss; it's your show. But many people do a lousy job of picking businesses they can realistically turn into a profitable operation. "There's this very sad pattern about how people start businesses," says Scott Shane, an entrepreneurship professor at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. "People are most likely to start businesses in industries where start-ups are most likely to fail." The problem: Many would-be entrepreneurs are drawn to businesses they like to patronize or the ones that are cheapest and easiest to start. Instead, experts argue, aspiring entrepreneurs should create firms in which they have professional experience so they have a competitive advantage in the ...

An email sent from a friend... I believe you're doing well by the grace of our wonderful Lord Jesus Christ J For those in Philippines , India & Vietnam, my prayers are with you that God will protect you from all harm and keep you safe under His loving care. Many have asked me regarding the change in name from Toto to PEARL, well I just want to share with you the reason. Often we see in the Bible that a change of name denotes a new relationship with God, in (Genesis  17:5, 15) God changed Abram's name to Abraham, Sarai to Sarah, (Genesis 32:28) Jacob to Israel, and in the New Testament, like (John 1:40) Simon to Peter and also Saul to Paul and they did have a strong new character turn around, that's what I long for, God's transformation Power more and more in my life! Well, I have made a commitment to God to be what HE wants me to be and prayed for over a year for a new name that would make me know and understand my relationship with Him, I received the name PEARL ...

Just always ask God to give what you Deserve, not what you desire.. It because, your Desires may be few, But you deserve a lot!  Never stop praying Never cease trusting, Never quit loving, Trust God's plan, Trust God's wisdom, Trust God's timing, Trust God's for everything.

By Romy Teruel Sunday Post Columnist Indicators of good life ahead   Good things are happening in the political arena and the civil service. If this continues, there is nothing for the country to go but better life ahead for its people.  The change of heart of Senator Mar Roxas is definitely a shift towards a higher plane in the political arena.  I never thought I would see a present day politician in the Philippines sublimate his/her own personal and political interest for the interest of the political party and the people.  Mar Roxas has sacrificed his own personal interest by getting out of the race track in favor of Senator Noynoy Aquino. He proved there are still statesmen today because only statesmen do that sort of thing.  It's definitely good for Philippine politics and for the country.  Mar's critics are saying he did not do that for higher values or causes.  He did it because he was at the tail end of the poll for Presidentiables.  Everybody knows that Senator Roxa...

By Romy Teruel For the third time Cory is on the cover page of Time Magazine aptly labelled as the Saint of Democracy .  Nobody has ever been honoured this much in recent history, not even the fierce advocates of democracy in years past.  For this Time Magazine has helped immortalized Cory.    It is a sad thing thoughr that one week after awakening again to the true essence of democracy that her interment had made on every Filipino , fighting had to erupt again in Basilan. AFP soldiers and the Abu Sayyaf engaged each other in a bloody battle that resulted to the death of 23 soldiers and 21 Abu Sayyaf.  Another 23 soldiers were wounded and are now recuperating in the hospital in Zamboanga City.   That bloody encounter in Basilan in the heels of Cory's burial is a clear signal of the extent at which democracy must still claim lives before it can flourish.  How many more lives must be sacrificed in the altar of democracy that we all dream of?  Unless the problem of peace and ord...

     There has been so much debate about celebrating Filipino-American Friendship Day that has taken the luster about the occasion.       Few Americans care about this for the simple reason that the Fourth of July happens to Independence Day in their home turf. With the number of Filipinos actually celebrating it dwindling with each passing year, it won't be far-fetched when the time comes when the event gets scrapped altogether.       It sure is a confusing moment for Filipinos. The radicals treat Americans with scorn (their policy makers actually) so such a celebration is like pouring gasoline on fire.       Meanwhile, more and more Filipinos (not just Filipinos actually) look up to the American Dream as a one-way ticket out of their financial difficulties. And so unlike those who abhor anything American, they embrace the belief that the only way out for the Philippines is to become a state of the United States.       Still, one cannot help but reflect about friendship, or wh...

By Fr. Roy Cimagala If we are interested in keeping our humanity, or at least our sanity, it may be good to be reminded about the need for us to develop, keep and strengthen our simplicity and spiritual childhood . This integral part of Christian asceticism should not be forgotten as we progress. With our neck-breaking pace of development, with its unavoidable dust cloud of complications, we need to realize more deeply that the way to go is not by being quixotic, tilting at windmills and grappling with phantoms, but by being simple . The temptation to be quixotic can be strong, since we always feel we can handle things by ourselves. Our sense of freedom and responsibility often blind us to the basic truth that we need to be grounded on God always to be able to live properly, let alone, do things rightly. This quixotic attitude can lead us to that situation of self-righteousness, denounced by Christ himself when he told some of the people's leaders that "they have eyes, but ...

Politician can be such a confusing word. At one time it was considered an honor to be called a politician. Even if that was when the names Washington and Jefferson were in office. But somewhere along the line it became a word more closely associated with corruption. The greedy became greedier and the corrupt became downright felonious. Call me a liar, a thief and a crook and I'll tell you that you must have me confused with a politician. Sometimes a fresh faced individual believes he or she can make a difference. They enter into the political world with nothing but the best intentions. They promise their backers that they won fall into the same old traps and get caught up in the shenanigans that dirty the political world. At least that is how they feel at the time. But it is different when you step into the dark, stank room. You have to check your innocence and naivete at the door. You find that the only way to get things accomplished is to play the very game you despise. Even t...

SOME people walk gracefully while others slump.      You know something is wrong.When you  see a frumpy figure gazing  back at you in the mirror.     Good posture can change all   that. A woman striding confidently into a room with her shoulders  straight  and head held high has the ability to break hearts. A man standing straight-backed, with just the right tilt to his square chin, will stand out from the rest of the slumped party-goers.     Good posture is easy to attain.   The steps to proper posture are simple, and they begin with the stomach. The belly button should be pulled back into the spine,  sucked up into the lungs. The ribs, in turn, should be held lightly under a buoyant chest and shoulders that are back and relaxed. The collarbones should be down, while the chin is slightly lifted, creating long, swan-like neck.     The  feeling is of being pulled upward from a string attached to the top of your head, with the entire spine stretched and extended. And on top of this b...

By Bingo Dejaresco III It is not our imagination, folks. It is the United Nation's Food Council who drew the number. There are one billion hungry men in Planet Earth today. One of six earthlings suffer from malnutrition today. Last year in 2008, there were only 915 million recorded hungry earthlings then. War and political instability, drought and food crisis had brought this tragedy to us. When food production stabilized late last year, the global financial crisis however, in turn, lowered income levels and prejudiced access of men to food instead. This, aside from the fact, that food prices in the world had really effectively increased by 24%, a hot ratio, from 2006 to 2008. Malnutrition means a person receives less than 1,800 calories a day. This depravity, according to the UN, caused food riots in 30 countries recently. Malnutrition leads to slow death in that it weakens the immune system against battling germs that cause sickness and diseases. Malnutrition kills man softly....

"My critics are seeing ghosts where there are  none." Thus declared City Mayor Dan Neri Lim in reaction to a paid advertisement sent by the group of lawyer Victor de la Serna casting aspersions to a supplemental budget he submitted to the Sangguniang Panglungsud in its session last Friday. Drawing analogy of his detractors  seeing ghosts although there were none, Lim said his critics should be sure  of their facts before engaging in vilification of  their enemy. The budget that amounted to P 40.7 million was sent for SP approval without discussion and support document or S.O.D., this according to the topnotch lawyer. Belying  de la Serna's allegations saying that he was out of touch of legislative processes, Mayor Lim said that the amount requested will pass scrutiny of the proper SP committee. The body where the request will undergo a thorough scrutiny is the committee on appropriation.  According to Mayor Lim, from the proper committee,  it will then be submitted to ...

By Sunday Post          Do not be distracted by negative people.      This was the message of Tagbilaran Mayor Dan Lim as the city approaches the observance of its 43rd year as a Charter City.      "People who grumble and complain are the ones who are left behind," Lim said yesterday.      The mayor issued the statement as he acknowledged that the bad publicity against him will intensify with the elections barely 11 months away.      "If you think you have heard every trash spoken against me, it is nothing to what my political opponents will throw at me in the next few months," he added.      Lim said that there are people who will do anything just to remove him from office and they will resort to anything, "through fair means or foul" just to do it.      "Of course, I will not take it sitting down," he warned.      The mayor said that if his critics want a fight, they have it.      He said he lamented the fact that the city and the people are...

By Roy Cimagala I suppose everyone is familiar with this phenomenon. In the face of something new, our immediate reaction hovers first in the level of our senses and emotions. Then it goes to our intelligence. Only with some conscious effort can we start reacting in a spiritual and theological way . We need to give more thought to this event so we can have a more appropriate response to it, especially when it involves something important in our life. We have to learn how to relate things to God, and to avoid getting stuck in the purely human and natural level. Very often, what we see are people materially aroused or enriched but spiritually made numb as they make the quest for progress and development. We should not be surprised by this turn of events. That's just how our earthly affairs are. But neither should just stand by, doing nothing about it. We need to handle things in a manner truly commensurate to our real dignity.  We are not only persons, already a big thing. We are ...

By Romy Teruel One environmental and tourism issue that will keep on cropping up unless decisive actions are done is the issue of easement along beaches as prescribed by the Water Code of the Philippines.  This has cropped up before and now it is here again.    The conference that Gov. Erico B. Aumentado held with the hotel and resort owners of Panglao and Dauis last Friday is an example of laws wanting in implementation. While the laws are clear and guidelines are prescribed, willing compliance has remained a problem.  The Water Code of the Philippines prescribes a 20-meter easement from the high water mark on the beach towards inland where no permanent structure can be constructed whatsoever.  We need not send experts however to know that compliance is more in the breach than observance.  This prompts observers to ask "What happened to Bohol's thrust on eco-tourism and environmental conservation and protection?"  And this is usually followed by "They are killing...
