Here’s an eye-opener and a masterpiece of the short-film making.

This short-film was directed by Pam Miras for the Stop the Killings Movement.
It is part of the human rights campaign initiated by the Free Jonas Burgos Movement and produced by Digital Cheese.
More of videos could be found here.

I rarely write about politics, social issues and topics that would reflect my Left-leaning frame of mind and advocacies (except for health or environment-related ones) here on the Four-eyed Journal ever since I got this .com.ph domain + hosting for free. They were reserved for my all-Filipino blog, Sumilang.
However, since this blog gets more [...]

Here I am again breaking the super-extended blogging hiatus forced upon me by my off-line engagements. School is just a part of it, the part that cannot be compromised and really blamed for my blogging absence.
So what’s the culprit? My extra-curricular activities!
In school, I’m actively involved in 4 organizations;
SERVE Volunteers - The student volunteer organization [...]

This meme post has again been delayed for days. Been so busy with offline work, my blogging, problogging gigs and online projects have been suffering of late. School is about to reopen and I’m afraid the new class schedule plus added school involvements will really eat a lot of my time come June 13. Nonetheless, [...]

Tomorrow is the do-or-die day for all the idiots, morons, thieves, scoundrels, opportunists, washed-up TV personalities, drunkards and basically scum of society who have decided to run for posts in the Philippine government. The situation is not all bad though, are there are a few handfuls among the thousands of candidates who are the real [...]

It came from Cardinal Rosales himself; “character change” and not charter change. More importantly, change within the COMELEC. All these were applauded and cheered on by the crowd. Another message that was sent to every trapo and corrupt self-serving monster in the House of Representatives and Malacañang is that, the Church and the citizenry have nearly had it. Stop and desist from all crooked things that you are doing and get your acts together, not for your selves but for the people.

Don’t assume for a minute that just because it’s the holiday season, the people would take things from you on bended knees and arms wide open. You are all dead wrong. The gathering at Rizal Park last Sunday is just but a taste of what’s prepared to face you all in case you try to screw up this country again.

Resigned Defense Secretary Avelino Cruz, Jr is right on the mark by stressing that he prefers to have another civilian, with no deep military ties or connections to succeed him as the new defense chief.

This is by far one of the most sensible thing I’ve heard from the men and women who compose the Arroyo administration, or in Cruz’ case, once become part of.

Ever since Arroyo took over the reigns of power, the military has been at the center of scandals, controversies and most likely behind the scenes of the recent rise in political killings and massive human rights abuses suffered by the peasant, labor and even laity leaders critical of the Arroyo administration.

Aside from my new academic load, I have bought a new book. “Doctor on the Boil” by Richard Gordon is hilarious story about a hospital, old men who refuse to give way to the future, and nurse’s skirts getting shorter and shorter. I’ve only started reading the first 4 pages and I’m already close to laughing my head off. Another good excuse to stay off line and not update this blog of mine and enjoy the rest of the semestral break. (Yeah right! Right?…again?)

Speaking of enjoyment, I’m savoring the latest news that the Supreme Court has ‘killed’ the already dead “Malacañang-backed People’s Initiative” spearheaded by the Singaw….Sigaw ng Bayan. At least SC Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban will retire with something to be proud of this coming December.
