Just when the country is getting into the fad or hyping about Going Green as a sort of fashion statement. Force Majeure takes place...
This reminds me of an event that happened during Marcos time. It normally happens when the Leaders of this country reaches the peak of their haughtiness.
I cant tell you more...
This new video is taken from Al Jazeera.
Scores of people have been killed and thousands have fled their homes in the Philippines after a whole month's rain fell in just six hours.
Houses were swept away by swollen rivers and people were trapped on rooftops and flooded highways.
The storm is said to have brought the heaviest rainfall seen in the country since 1967.
Thousands of travellers are stuck in the chaos, including Al Jazeera's correspondent Marga Ortigas, who filed this report from Manila airport.

Modern day Pinoy Suicides
september 25, 2009

I am writing this as a first entry to my blogs about "Ang bayan kong Pilipinas".
Since I came back from Arabia, I felt the country becoming more sicker and sicker all the time.
I noticed that more and more Pinoys are willing to put the life of their families at stake by carrying them altogether in one motorbike, endangering the lives of kids below 12 - with their mother in one 125cc bike!
I noticed more and more road accidents involving a motorbike and most of the time, the bike driver or rider dies, and this happens every night.
This can only mean, that the average Pinoy family car which used to be a beat down VW bug, then a Toyopet, then a Corolla to an owner type Jeep has been reduced to the state of a China made Honda XRM clone or Dio.
This also means that it is a lot cheaper to bring the family all in one bike than to put them in a less safer drug crazed driven Jeepney or Public Bus.
Clearly, all signs manifesting the life of the Pinoy getting cheaper and cheaper everyday.
No wonder, we are seen as the slave/ boy or maid of the world.... the first world.
In light of this, I also noticed the high rise in suicides.
Whether local or abroad of Pinoys.
Just recently, a 17 year old student contemplated to commit suicide days before he actually did it in public. Of all places, right in the middle of SM in Fairview, in broad day light.
What I heard, is that the student - discontented with his life, from a disfunctional family, provided with many material blessings, was still very much unhappy with his parents... and was also agravated by his recent break up with his girlfriend. Rumors had it that he was trying to win back his girl but the girl turned him down.
He also threatened to kill himself and told his peers about it. They thought he was just kidding around, but he did it a few days ago. By jumping from the 4th level of this mall to be witnessed by a large number of crowd. He died right on the spot at the ground floor.
This is an amateur video of the incident a few minutes after it happened.
What happened makes one think, why he did it? What for? For what sense?
I have always been advocating responsible parenthood.
Parents must always value time for family as paramount before any material things.
Parent must also give the right values to their children... as well as a sense of pride and not a life of shame.
We live only once, we have to live life fully.
Not die in vain or in shame... nor live in vain or in shame either.
But what does Philippine media, showbiz and noontime shows or even tele novelas are teaching the new generation of Pinoys?
It suggests to the general public, specially the younger generation that it is ok to be in love even when you are young - below 10! Have you seen Stairway to Heaven? - What a stupid Pinoy Interpretation of a Korean story. The moment I saw a few minutes of that story - I was infuriated. Thinking of what stupid suggestions in the minds it can do to the innocent and less occupied brains of our children. What is the board of censors doing? absolutely nothing! The Philippine media programs nowadays it absolute BULL! - Nothing to be learned - Except tips on how to become a LOUD MOUTH - Shouting over your lung type - Attention Deprived Personality.
Ever noticed how Gay culture is venerated and promulgated or propagated nowadays?
Ever noticed how degraded our standards of respect to the elderly, women and children nowadays?
Even programs that are supposedly educational are mixed with loud mouth gay cultura.
The country is becoming more shallow and shallow everyday.
We have absolutely forgotten the fact that we were once a rich nation 3 decades ago.
I shall write more on that in another post. But right now, I will emphasize on the following questions... thoughts to provoke each and every Pinoy who will be fortunate to read this.
1. Magpapakamatay ka ba para lang sa isang babae? o lalake?
2. Magpapakamatay ka ba dahil lang malunngkot at walang saysay ang buhay mo dahil walang panahon ang magulang mo sa iyo o dahil kinahihiya mo ang nanay o tatay mo?
3. Magpapakamatay ka ba dahil nawala sa iyo ang isang mahal sa buhay?
4. Magpapakamatay ka ba dahil nabigo ang iyong mga pangarap sa buhay?
5. Magpapakamatay ka dahil... wala lang?
Nakakatawa diba?
I once learned from one of my college professors that... People who commit suicide are normally possessing LOW I.Q. levels.
We asked why?... she said, because if they have had High I.Q., they wont kill themselves.
Not only is this a direct violation of God commandment... it is also a sign of Weakness.
Suicide is a form of Escape... That's what you think!
Suicide is not an escape at all, it is the fastest trap to eternal damnation, i.e., HELL. Believe it or Not - Whether you like it or not - the devil can easily fool the individual who is weak to fall right into this trap easily... no need for a second party at all. Absolute STUPIDITY!
I dare every individual who is somewhat contemplating on this easy escape to be Man or Woman enough and FACE the Problem!
Magpakalalaki kayo! Magpakababae kayo! Be HUMAN enough and Face the problem! - Even if the problem is your face.
...I will tell you a secret...
All problems no matter how big or small they are MERE ILLUSSIONS!
They are not real.
This world is temporary.
There is an even more bigger problem than your present situation.
All you need to think about is how are you giving yourself a favor?
Be good to yourself!
Be kind to yourself!
Reach out!
There are more things this present life can offer. Just WAIT and SEE!
