OMG! DUTERTE ABOLISHES CONGRESS

35% of the vote does not give you the mandate of the people. The 65% will be watching your every move and if you declare Dictatorship/Martial Law or abolishes the congress – they will storm Malacanang and then you will see if the 35% you mesmerized with your vulgarity can withstand the tempest of the people. 

...BUT THE 65% WHO DID NOT VOTE FOR YOU WILL BE WILLING TO GIVE THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT IF AND WHEN YOU BECOME PRESIDENT.

DUTERTE "CAPTAIN BARBEL"

IT IS NOT IN THE NATURE OF THE FILIPINOS TO SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE - THE REASON WHY THEY ARE A HAPPY PEOPLE. THEY ARE HAPPY WITH WHAT LITTLE THINGS THEY HAVE. THEY HAVE NO TIME TO WORRY IF THE SKY IS FALLING.

ROXAS –the low rating phenomenon

When P-Noy crossed swords with the country’s TOP POLITICAL DYNASTIES with immense political base - GMA, Enrile, Jinggoy Estrada, Bong Revilla, the Binays and the Marcoses, ROXAS lost a bulk of the people’s support.

In the BIR’s eagerness to raise money – it started to tax OFW’s balikbayan boxes and charged terminal fees to departing OFWs which had been free in the last 19 years; Roxas again took a beating for the popular vote. P-Noy should have let go of the BIR chief.

…and then came the traffic and MRT’s daily break downs, the “tanim/laglag bala” at the airport not to mention “Yolanda” and the “El Nino.”

P-Noy focused on bigger things like infrastructures and the economy but pay little attention so it seems to the smaller things that matters most to people. Not even superman can solve this country’s problems but Filipinos love their superhero and they see it in the person of DUTERTE – CAPTAIN BARBEL of our time.

Like Duterte; P-Noy was a populist president but somewhere along the line – he seemed to have lost his ‘connect’ with the people. He projected himself as more of a doer than a talker but in politics – talkers get more votes than doers. You cannot talk about GDP and the STOCK MARKET as a measure of your presidency when 99% of the people do not understand what you are talking about. They could better understand “P_tang’_na” and “Papatayin ko sila.”

In the eagerness of P-Noy to do the right and bigger things; ROXAS became his single and biggest casualty. Roxas by all measure is the most qualified among the candidates but in a country where 90% of the people have to live in crime infested terrain, do not know how to wear neckties and do not drive around in fancy cars; they would rather go for Dolphy’s version of Captain Barbel just for the laugh and Du30 it is. Can Captain Barbel delivers on his promises…? The answer is a big no. In Davao; he was above the law so he killed with impunity. In Malacanang – he is not above the law. He made so many powerful enemies that a small mistake and he will be impeached. In Davao where he is the king; there is no congress and there is no supreme court to clip his wings. If he is a man of his word; he could leave office earlier than expected. Better be a king of Davao than an emperor of 7,100 Island archipelagos.

IMAGINE: you are able to talk to yourself anywhere in time

I was Google imaging proofs of time travel when I found my book among the images. I remembered having posted the photo in my blog so that’s it. Among the many photos were lookalike of famous people from times long ago in the past. 

When I was young and grazing the beasts under my care (cows and water buffalos) – I used to wonder how Maya birds recognizes each other’s relatives whenever a flock flew over the rice field. They all look alike and then with an amusing thought; they Maya birds could likewise be wondering how we humans recognize each other’s. We all have hairs, eyes, ears, nose and mouth.

My daughters said, I look like Jackie Chan – ha ha ha! With 7 billion denizens of planet earth alone; you can reshuffle our DNA only so much and end up with some differing only in few. Although in a lottery; only one or few can win – there are hundreds that only differ from the winner in one number and thousands more in 2 digits meaning with 7 billion of earth; some will end up looking like me or me looking like them. Imagine a multiverse universe where the stakes infinitely increases…not one but many will look exactly like me – parallel universe.

One of the most interesting physical proofs that time travel could be possible is that old woman accidentally caught talking into what looked like a cellular phone in a Charlie Chaplin movie. The puzzle though that not many people come to talk about is…to whom was she talking to?

With the theoretical possibility of the existence of exotic sub-sub-subatomic (dark matter) particles so small it is beyond the observation of us by any available machine at present (Large Hadron Collider) – we may in the future develop the technology to communicate with someone somewhere in time meaning I can communicate with myself in another place in time but wow…it’s mindboggling scary. Just think about it…it’s insanely crazy. If the speed of light is the only barrier between now and anywhere else in time – It is very possible that we will be able to talk to ourselves from any place in time and anywhere in the past at a point in time when the technology became available no matter how insanely crazy it is. We may even talk to ourselves beyond the grave. (Don’t search the internet. This is my own theoretical -fantasy) 

These are objects that may have been sucked into a wormhole (time tunnel) and transported at long distances in time. Many scientists believe that wormholes were a consequence of the Big Bang that varies in sizes.

Often times I wonder why the Ka’aba in Mecca is clad in black and the ritual of ‘Taw’waf’ (circumambulation) is counterclockwise the same direction all galaxies rotates and planets in our solar system orbits around the sun. Did God give us a timeless message? If you are not a Muslim reading this; Ka’aba is the first house of worship dedicated to God built by Prophet Abraham (a.s.) and his son Ishmael (a.s.). They originated the ritual of counterclockwise circumambulation by the command of the Almighty.

If you have told me 30 years ago when I had to drive 173 km and pay 8 riyals per minute to call my family in Manila that one day in the not so distant future; you my friend will carry in your pocket a small gadget that will let you call anyone anywhere on the planet and send a telegraphic (txt) message of 160 characters at a negligible price of one peso – I would have called you insane; absolutely insane. 

If you will tell me now that in the not so distant future; I will be able to talk to the same me with my cellular phone in another place in time – I will believe you.

El Niño Freak Weather and Saudi Arabia

I have always thought of the massive rain in this town (Zahran Al Janoub) in 1982-83 as a global consequence of the El Nino weather phenomenon but I wanted to be sure so I did few clicks in search of info…and voila; I found this.

El Niño

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is thought that there have been at least 30 El Niño events since 1900, with the 1982-83, 1997–98 and 2014–16 events among the strongest on record.[35][36] Since 2000, El Niño events have been observed in 2002–03, 2004–05, 2006–07, 2009–10 and 2015–16.[35]

(Take note in the above the dates 1982-83 and 2014-16 being the strongest)

The freakish weather in 1982-83 virtually dissolved the government hospital where I worked. After the rain; workers patched the leaks at the roof deck. The following year, again came the freak storms and weeks of rain that caused the hospital roof deck to fall forcing the government to order the staffs to abandon ship.

More than 40 bridges (according to an engineer friend) between the highland city of Abha and Jizzan along the red sea coast were washed away by rampaging flood waters.

In 15 years; the government had moved the hospital twice renting buildings in town to house the hospital, offices and the nurses’ hostel. In 2001; a new hospital (which had been in construction for more than 10 years) finally opened to the public. A new 200 bed hospital is presently under construction in another part of the town.
