Who Will Be The Next Supreme Court Chief Justice?

There are 22 nominees. Names I heard once or twice on TV. Some are popular for the reason that they are very visible on TV. Some are newbie to my ears for the reason that I had not heard their names until now. Who will be the next Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines? Andres Bautista, Presidential Commission on Good Government Chairman Soledad Cagampang-de Castro, law professor Leila de Lima,  Justice Secretary Jose Manuel Diokno, Free Legal Assistance Group chair Francis Jardeleza, Solicitor General Katrina Legarda, women’s rights and family lawyer Justice Roberto Abad Rafael Morales, law professor and Sycip Salazar Hernandez & Gatmaitan managing partner Raul Pangalagan, Inquirer columnist and former University of the Philippines law dean Justice Arturo Brion Rene Sarmiento, Elections Commissioner Manuel Siayngco Jr., retired Judge Amado Valdez, University of the East law dean and former government corporate counsel Vicente Velasquez (disqua...

Fort Drum Sa Isla El Fraile Sa Ternate Cavite

Image
Courtesy Wikimedia Ang kinahinatnan ng Fort Drum sa Isla El Fraile sa Ternate, Cavite ay isang patunay ng walang pagpapahalaga sa yaman ng kasaysayan ng ilang Pinoy, kawani, at nanunungkulan sa pamahalaan. Sadyang ang mga politiko at nanungkulan noon sa pamahalaan ay pagpapayaman lamang ang inatupag. A historic site like Fort Drum in El Fraile island could have been a priceless tourist spot if only taken care of. Built in 1909 through 1916, Fort Drum is a concrete battleship built by the United States Army. Read more at Wikipedia about Fort Drum . My portal to just about anything

Who Wants To Adopt A Baby?

Image
Photo linked from Adoption Networking Update. Though the baby is yet to be born in April, the mother has already chosen the parents who will take care of her baby. Thank you to all who expressed their interest to adopt the baby. My family is currently sheltering a pregnant woman. She used to serve as "kasambahay" (household helper) in Novaliches. When her employer learned about her pregnancy, she was fired and sent away. Nowhere to stay, a former household helper in our family then asked for my sister's help to accommodate her. The mother is to give birth this April. She wants to give her baby for adoption. The father of the baby is nowhere to be found and doesn't want to be found. The mother grew up in Gen. Santos in Mindanao in a neighborhood where Manny Pacquiao grew up. Her husband died when she was pregnant with her first(?) daughter/son. Her first child who is now leaving in the province is now 18. While serving as helper for a family in Novaliches, he...

An End To Chicken Or Egg Debate

At last, it ends today. Which comes first – chicken or egg? One of the classic jokes, the chicken or egg debate continues until who knows when. Chicken first because the hen lays the egg. No hen, no egg. Egg first? Before it becomes a chicken, it was an egg first. So, which comes first really? It's Chicken First When God created Adam – you know, the first man - He gave him the authority to name all the animals. The first time he saw a tiger, he named it a tiger – in his own dialect, of course. When he saw a camel, he named it a camel. So, the first time he saw a chicken, he named it a chicken. He didn't name it "egg". The Divine Evidence "So, out of the ground the Lord God formed every animal of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every animal of the field....

Philippines Can Never Build A City Like This

Image
Despite a very strict law, Singaporeans are happy about their lives. Philippines can never build a city like this due to corruption in the government, selfish politicians from the barangay level up to Malacanan, who would rather spend more time how to be wealthier using 30 silver blood money of Judas. Poor Filipinos. These politicians and government officials do not have conscience. Ehem! Ehem! Maybe Filipinos, and foreigners as well, should wear t-shirts with a message like "Your face shows you're corrupt" each time they visit a government office. My portal to just about anything
