Uproot the rotten banana tree now!

There is no better opportunity to uproot the bad banana tree that is the present oppressive regime than now.

Time has come to stop complaining about how awful our so-called Filipino race is.  We all know who is causing the trouble.  The only thing that we need to do is to act as one and link hands to form a really powerful front.

The trillions of pesos the regime is stealing from the coffers, thanks to a well self-trained former hungry-as-a-wolf budget chief and unscrupulous finance head of the greatest thief of them all - the leader of the regime, is all a great waste.  When all that money could feed a lot of our fellowmen in the poor sector and build and support roads, bridges, schools, hospitals, barangay clinics, provide jobs and livelihood, create a small dent at least in the brain drain among many other benefits, we are allowing these resources to be stolen right in front of our face.

Let us all be creative and participate in actions to expose the excessive corruption of this regime.  All they have done is to create hype in the atmosphere to pretend to the world they are doing something but behind everything they are stealing massive amounts of money... Read more from here

Flooding in the Philippines: Lethal and Problematic

by the Resource Recovery Movement, Center for Human and Society

In the recent period, floods plagued a considerable area, encompassing broad sections across the globe.

Heavy recent flooding in India and Serbia, China, Japan among many other areas around the world

With heavy inundations such as these that can often kill with their own sheer power by drowning, is there still a need for the water to be poisonous, toxic and very much hazardous to health or even deadly enough to kill?

In the Philippines, not the Secretary of the Department of National Defense now a bit too advanced in years unlike many past defense secretaries who braved calamities and got wet and dirty on the ground, but the helmsman of the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (NDRRMC) is a mite too busy nowadays. The chief is extremely tied up in many corners that at most times the poor disaster response executive does not even know where to plant his foot next.

Yet it is an inescapable Catch-22 situation. If the new chief of the Philippine Office of Civil Defense and the Secretariat of the NDRRMC follows the examples of his bosses, just stay put and let things unveil all by themselves, the people will be angry.

If the NDRRMC head appears very mobile and busy, the people are still not going to be appeased. They will be just as angry anyway. No option is a better one, even that of balancing between not doing anything and making an effort to be hyperactive.

A senseless new tragedy most recently hit the Philippines - not so much a tragedy as thousands of helpless citizens getting killed.

The powerful storm caused a maritime vessel Maharlika II in Cebu to drown, leaving as many as more than one hundred casualties. As of this writing, 70 persons are missing due to the tragedy.

All over the nation: Floods and landslides, destroyed crops, dead farm animals

ruined houses, buildings, vital installations and much more other forms of damage

A really sensible government will take every means to prevent people from getting caught in floods. Sadly enough, this is never true in the Philippines and not in many places around the world. They will simply snort: Expensive solutions! No one specially me needs them! So they let whole communities drown or suffer getting submerged waist or neck-deep in murky, life-threatening floodwaters

Both children and adults brave the waters in floods. No one puts the fear in their hearts that doing so is extremely dangerous to their health and the effects may only be felt after a long time.
