Yan kasi ang hirap sa bansa natin, wala tayong separation of church and state sa totoo lang.

Di idea of separation of church and state is that...... Religion has its own set of principles, the state has its own set of rules. The state exists in the Physical realm and thus must make decisions based on what can be interpreted in its most literal sense (i.e. laws). Religion on the other hand doesn't. It exists in the metaphysical realm where it bases its decision on things that are not necessarily scientific nor literal.... (i.e. metaphors of the bible which can have many interpretations. Moreover, it has been proven that societies without clear separation of church and state are more tyrnanical. i.e. Spanish-era philippines, or some countries in the middle east. So what you do therefore is separate both sectors! You let the state do its own thing without interference from any religion, and you let religion have its place where people can choose to embrace it or not. As respect for the separation, religious sectors enjoy tax exemption.

So kung magdecide estado na magturo ng sex education sa paaralan, huwag ito dapat pakialaman ng sektor ng relihiyion. Kung gusto nila, eh di huwag iexpell na lang nila mga members nila na aattend ng sex education classes if they think labag ito sa mga prinsipyo ng relihiyon nila. I doubt if they would though kasi nawalan na sila ng miyembro

These people need professional help.

Mas simple tingin ko sa mga taong ito.

Hindi sila sira ulo, alam nila exactly ginagawa nila. I think these people are simply selfish manipulative and emotionally abusive partners. Ang pinakaintention naman lang nila is mang guilt trip dun sa nangiiwan sa kanila. I don't think most of them actually are that determined to take their own life. Eh kung ganun sila kadeterminado bakit pa nila sasabihin sayo. Para pigilan mo sila? Bwahahahahaha. Just go right ahead and jump off a building or swallow a lot of pills kung ganun mo kagusto na wakasan paghihirap mo.

Im telling you, pag tinakot ka ng ganito at bumigay ka, uulitulitin na yan nila lagi. All the more pahihirapan ka nila. Aabuso yan sila lalo sa inyo. In the first place this is a foul tactic to keep you in the relationship, so do not expect na after mo bumigay they will start treating you with respect. You will be their puppet and wont even make an effort to just be a better partner. Why bother being a better partner kung pwede naman manalo lagi na tatakutin mo yun isa.

Kung hindi naman pagpapakamatay, me ibang usual black mail lagi yan na ang purpose lang is guilt trip

1. Maglalayas at hindi sasabihin kung san sya pupunta para magalala ka ng husto

2. Magkakasakit ng malubha. Kung me sakit yan sa puso halimbawa lagi yan gagamitin nila

3. Tatakutin ka na makikipagsex sa iba

If you ask me, people like this are pathetic. I have no respect or sympathy for them and therefore do not deserve anything from me

Alisin na yan exit clearance for OFWs. Its bullshit bureaucratic procedure that helps no one. First of all, for a clearance it is not clear what exactly you are being "cleared from". Pag NBI or Police clearance, you are being cleared of any record of crime comitted. Pag clearance sa school you are being cleared of debts and any other neglected dues. Eh ang clearance of exit na yan? Paulit ulit ko ito tinatanong kung ano exactly cli-ni-clear nyan wala naman maisagot. Dagdag abala lang ito sa OFW, at dagdag revenue sa POEA na wala naman malinaw na pinupuntahan.

Kung refund lang sa travel tax at terminal fee, di working visa lang dapat ipakita.

I Keep telling you, until you somehow decongest metro manila, all other efforts to ease traffic will be futile.

Kaya nga, bobo lang ang maniniwala sa pinagsasabi ni Roxas na progresso daw ibig sabihin paglala ng traffic.

Ang ibig sabihin nyan, patuloy lang ang pagdami ng tao sa Metro Manila. Pano? Anong maayos na oportunidad ba meron sa mga probinsya? Ultimo pinakamagagaling na lang na Unibersidad at Ospital laging nasa Manila. Yung business capital nasa Manila. Lampas na sa tinatawag na "carrying capacity" ang kaMaynilaan kaya lumalala na traffic.

The move towards Federalism will be a great step towards this. If we can have other major cities in the Philippines where it can also offer not just the best Job opportunities but as well as Education. If only factories and major businesses can have center of operations in other cities, then hindi lagi dadagsa tao sa Maynila.

sabi nga 80% ng protein napupunta lang lagi sa Metro Manila

I do not expect our next president to be perfect. For sure he will make mistakes, he will have critics, he will definitely have enemies. To top that all its really really reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaally hard to please the people being president. Sige nga? Sinong propeta ba na umupo sa malacanang since Marcos ang hinihirang ng lahat na Bayani? Lahat naman sila sablay. But let me enlist the things I would expect from the new President

1. Stop playing divide and conquer. Huwag pagsabungin mayayaman sa mahihirap. This is one of the main reasons why I consider President Erap as the worst ever! Lagi nya pinaghahati mayayaman at mahihirap sa paraang makikinabang sya, be it tuwing eleksyon or para manatili sa pwesto. Others seem to follow the formula. Katawa kay Erap, para sa mahirap daw pero sa issue ng coco levy funds sino ba mas pinaboran nya? Yun magsasaka o yun pareng Danding nya? A head of the nation should stand for unity not divisiveness

2. Please do not neglect the middle class. Hindi naman pwedeng laging libreng ganito sa mahihirap, gobyernong para sa mahirap, puso sa mahihirap. Eh powtek, tayo yun anlaki laki ng kaltas sa sahod lagi dahil sa buwis ah. Wala rin ba tayong mga pangangailangan? Makapagtapos ka nga ng college di mo naman alam kung me maayos kang trabaho. Give them maayos ayos na benepisyo. Lalo na siguro yun mga sundalo, pulis, at public school teachers. Sila itong hirap na hirap umutang sa pagibig, pero yun mga squatter naman ang dali makakuha ng libreng pabahay.

3. Accept criticisms from time to time especially when it is fair. You do own up to your shortcomings, that is good. Keep it up. Huwag yun kagaya ng iba dyan na huli mo na nga, magpapalusot pa at mayabang pa ehem sotto ehem.

4. Work your ass off! People will expect to see this from you. Huwag puro sosyalan at golf. Be a hands on president as much as you can. Try to really bring gains to this country na mararamdaman ng tao. Statistics are nice, but when that does not exactly translate into having more on your groceries, having better service from the government, or even spending less time on gruelling traffic, statistics are just numbers you can wipe your ass with. I think this will really earn your validation from the people.

5. Stay true to the people. They are your true ally, not your political friends or campaign contributors.

6. Just go kick some ass! Umpisahan mo na sa NAIA Pres. Digong, matagal na kaming banas na banas sa mga tao dyan.

O kayo na lang dagdag.

Si Digong separado at chickboy

Ito naman si Leni ay Byuda

Mapaamo kaya ni Leni Si Digong? Ang Cute nilang combination di ba? parang love team lang hehehehe.

Sabi nga VP na first lady pa pag nagkataon lol

Traffic daw is a symptom of economic progress? Bullshit!

It means wala ng oportunidad sa mga probinsya kaya dumadagsa lalo tao sa maynila. Yan ba ang progreso?

yun mga tao sa evacuation center kanina

 

 

@Coffeeholic & @Edmund Dantes, i deeply appreciate & respect your honest opinion -thanks

 

just to make it clear guys, when i'd said "there is no right or wrong" case to case basis (is just how you look into different perspective)

 

i'll give you few scenario on what i really mean.

 

if i said to choose his LEGAL WIFE (i don't think everyone will agree)

 

this is RIGHT: coz you are already legally married as simple as that at yun ung tama sa mata ng mga tao at ng nakakarami. baka naman kase nde mo na makita yun bagay na hinahanap mo sa wife mo yun mga nakikita mo ngayon sa mistrees mo kase ayaw mo na kase talagang makita sa kanya (kase sa iba ka na tlaga nakatingin)

 

this is WRONG: coz on the first place you are not going to be into that position (trying to choose), if you still love your wife & staying with her..hindi ba na parang mas masakit yun, kase nag-mahal ka na nga ng iba (means you don't love her that much anymore)

& now mas lolokohin mo na lang sya ng mas-matagal at hindi na lang un wife mo lolokohin mo, kundi pati narin sarili mo lolokohin mo.

 

 

 

if i said to choose his MISTRESS (i don't think everyone will agree as well)

 

this is RIGHT: coz nag-mahal ka (ang tao kapag nag mamahal, walang mali lahat ng bagay nagiging tama) kase masaya ka & yun ung nararamdaman mo right now with your MISTRESS..

singing the line("WE HAVE THE RIGHT LOVE AT THE WRONG TIME") seriously you are just being honest on what you really feel & not everyone have the guts to do it (ang iwanan ang lahat para sa word na LOVE,

despite the fact you know na may masasaktan ka)

 

this is WRONG: kase makakasakit ka at "KAILAN PA NAGING TAMA,NA MANAKIT NG TAO?"

& yun tao na un ay ang taong nagmahal syo at nangako na mamahalin ka for the rest of your life.

ang taong minsan minahal mo rin ng sobra-sobra (maybe exactly just what you feel right now with your so called MISTRESS)

 

anyway now kahit sinong piliin mo, makakasakit ka pa rin its eighter your LEGAL WIFE or your MISTRESS (maybe both),

remember lahat ng bagay na gagawin mo or decision you'll make, have all the consequences

(piliin mo kung ano or sino yun makakapagbigay syo ng word na CONTENTMENT)

 

 

Happiness is closer to the experience of acceptance and contentment than it is to pleasure. True happiness exists as the spacious and compassionate heart’s willingness to feel whatever is present. -Noah Levine

 

 

cheers! happy Friday guys..

Hindi naman dapat ganito dapat kakumplikado eh. Simple lang ito.

Kung ayaw mo na sa legal wife, di hiwalayan mo ng maayos. Make the terms you can mutually agree on, part ways, give respect, then start seeing someone new again. At least that way you do not need to be dishonest. Dishonestly is what makes it all wrong. At kung mahal mo yun mistress, bat mo gagawing mistress? legitimize it. Tsaka di ba unfair yun sa babae? handa na nga ibigay lahat gagawin mo pang pangalawa lagi sa buhay mo. Nobody who loves deserves that.

Para sakin, affairs are for cowards. Hindi kaya panindigan ginagawa nila kaya kelangan magtago lagi at bahala na kung me masaktan.

Yun naman lagi ang problema eh, me masasaktan na di dapat. Im not just talking about the wife or the mistress. Pano yun madadamay sa crossfire. Sabi nga ng isa dito, you can not choose casualties.

Madali kasi balubaluktutin tama at mali. Madali gawing subjective. Pero ang mahirap, panindigan yun consequences pag me nasaktan na

Yeah I agree with the post above this. You can not live your live your life thinking that there is no right and wrong. Happiness can't always be your motivation for doing something or not. You gotta sacrifice things that make you happy for a greater good. Hindi pwedeng hedonism na lang lagi. Most people I know who live this way never find peace. Isa pa, mabuti kung ikaw lang masasaktan kaso ibang tao din idadamay mo eh. Kahit wala naman kinalaman sa gusot.

Uulitin ko lang mga sinabi ko. Ang tao kasi pag masaya, hindi na nakikinig sa katwiran. Wala ng tama o mali. Basta masaya sige lang. At sa dulo, kung kelan madami na nasaktan, kung kelan madami na nasira, saka mararamdaman yun pagsisisi. Tandaan nasa huli naman lagi ang pagsisisi eh. At habang di mo pa nararanasan yun lungkot, arogante ka lagi at feeling mo di ka aabot dun.

At ang kaligayahan nga, parang pera din yan. Pwedeng marami ka nyan kahit sa maling paraan mo nakukuha at pwede rin masaya ka ng konti at laging me kulang pero wala ka namang sinasaktang ibang tao. Aanhin mo ang napakadaming pera kung si Janet Napoles ka naman. I think the same thing can be said about happiness.

Sabi ko na nga ba eh! Dapat me Batman solo movie directed by Ben Affleck

We know now Affleck is an awesome Batman/Bruce Wayne

We know that Affleck is a very talented director. He can direct action scenes and he knows how to direct tension.

I have high hopes. It will be so much better than the Nolan trilogy

I wonder how his fantards will be after his fame in boxing is diminished. Sasambahin pa din kaya nila si Pacquiao na parang Dyos?

Affairs are for immature cowards

Kung kelangan mo gawing sikreto relasyon sa ano pa mang dahilan, ibig sabihin hindi mo yan kaya panindigan. kasi kung kaya mo panindigan dapat wala kayong dahilan para magtago

Sabi sa the Last Samurai

"I believe a man does everything he can until his destiny is revealed."

Yes there is destiny, I believe we are all meant to do something significant in this life and be rewarded for it. BUT BUT BUT...... Hindi yan basta na lang ireregalo sa'yo. You still gotta put in the work, you still got to make decisions. You have to prove that you really want it. And most of all. YOU HAVE TO PROVE YOU DESERVE IT.

Halimbawa kung tamad ka, at lahat na lang gusto mo madali lang at hindi ka na mahihirapan, anong pagkakataon darating sayo di ba?

Pero kung ikaw yun taong marunong magsumikap, at maingat lagi sa mga desisyon mo, pati na sa mga taong pinipili mong makasama. Most of all hindi ka natatakot ichallenge sarili mo. Then one at a time time the right door will open for you, with each leading to bigger and bigger destinations. Fate will guide you on the next step but you gotta make good decisions.

I am not really interested in seeing another Mayweather Pacquiao fight. That riddle has been solved already.

The same thing will happen again if the fight takes place. Besides, sayang lang pera .

Its time for other stars to shine. I'd love to see GGG vs Canelo. Now that is a fight

if it was me, i'd i say stick with the wife... there was a reason you married her, this feeling you're feeling for your mistress, was probably the same feeling you had when you asked your wife to marry you. you were smitten, deeply in love, and inseparable. and then years down the line, life happens and you experience the same magical thing again but with a different person.

 

it's not your fault, people change, feelings change, but if your mistress guarantees you a lifetime of happiness. go for it. but in life there are no guarantees. so choose wisely.

 

marriage is indeed hard work. but that's the beauty in it. when the hot sex is gone, the kids are living their lives with families of their own, you're stuck with your wife who is sagging everywhere and you're balding and can't even sustain a morning erection. at the end of the day, when you're old and grey, it would be nice to look back and say "i stuck with you through thick or thin, there were some close calls, but i still decided to love you, even when i think i don't feel it anymore, even if i don't feel it from you anymore. i stuck with you because many years back i made a promise to you and to your parents, to our kids, and to our foolish selves, that when the storm comes, we will weather it.

 

sorry kakapanood ko lang kasi ng "the notebook"

Let me add, na lahat naman siguro ng married couples dumadating sa point na lumalabnaw passion nila sa isat isa. It is normal. But hindi naman ibig sabihin komo nawala eh di na babalik, kaya hahanapin mo na lang ito sa ibang tao,

Ang passion nawawala at bumabalik. Pero ang tiwala pag nasira, parang baso yan na nabasag. Hindi na ulit maayos tulad ng dati. Pagdikitdikitin mo man, masusugatan ka lang at di mo naman maibabalik pa sa dating ayos.

Kaya magisip mabuti

If you noticed, his posts on the political threads are laughable and shallow. But on topic, Manny should just retire and be a philanthropist. He does not deserve to be a politician. If he somehow wins and becomes senator, he will become the laughing stock of the Senate. I mean has he interpellated someone as a congressman?

Sabi ko nga, si FPJ sobrang respeto noon binibigay sa kanya. Bukod sa pagiging Filipino Icon, kilalang matulungin talaga sa tao at hindi nagpapapress con sa mga tulong na nabibigay nya.

Nung pumasok sa pulitika, ayun na. Kung sino sino ng mga oportunista kumapit sa pangalan nya, tapos naging laughing stock na sya kasi talagang wala namang alam.

Huwag na ito tularan ni Manny. Dun na lang sya lumugar kung saan hindi mahahati opinon sa kanya ng tao. Kung saan respeto lang ang makukuha nya. Napakadumi ng pulitika eh

The 47-year old fan really can't separate Manny the boxer from Manny the politician.

Exactly my thoughts.

Ang hihipokrito nga ng mga fantards ni Manny eh. Kaya lang naman nila lagi pinagtatangol kasi sikat! Yung mga ginagawa ni Manny sa Pulitika, kung si Mar Roxas gagawa, sigurado sasabihin nila Epal. Ok lang na panay absent si Manny sa Kamara at sa dalawang terms wala ni isang batas naipasa. Pero kung si PNoy magbulakbol sa trabaho nya, siguradong magra-rally yan sila.

See there are sensible fans, and there are those na talagang Dyos na tingin kay Manny.

Im not waiting for gratitude from Manny nor im expecting him to acknowledge me. I let him be,. Just like him, he doesnt center the attention to himself. Instead he gives all the glory to God for his success. His life used to be in shambles. Womanizing, firnicating, gambling, drinking. But God is good to him, He gave him 2nd chance. Im not waiting for Manny to acknowledge me. Pag struggling ang kapwa Filipino, ipagdasal natin. Pag succesful ang kapwa Filipino, ipagpasalamat natin. Its called RESPECT. Kung puro tayo kritisismo, mas magandang ichek muna natin sarili nating mga buhay at pamilya. A critics life is very sad.

A fantard's life is more pathetic though. And come on. Do not be a hypocrite. Surely you have criticized public personalites, presidents, athletes, celebrities etc.

Mayweather mentions God too all the time. But would you say he too is a good person? Many politicians say they wanna serve the public, but do you necessarily believe that all of them are sincere? Of course not..... Unless they are as famous as pacquiao maybe you would.

The problem with fantards is you cannot separate Manny the fighter, Manny the politician, and Manny the person. I have all RESPECT for him as a fighter. Did you hear me say anything bad sa pagboboxing nya? Pero do I also need to respect him as a politician? Duh!

And as a person, I neither praised or criticized him because I do not know him personally. I know that what we see of him is a projected public image. Every public figure has one to maintain and I understand that is important. But how much of it is real in his private life? I do not know kasi hindi naman ako nakatira kay Pacquiao. We do know that he is not immaculate though, but whatever.

I congratulate him on his success in the sport, I do respect him as a SPORT HERO. But I do not need to look at him as a Jose Rizal or a saint.

Batman vs superman movie wasn't so bad. I wonder why many critics blasted it.

When you take 2 of the biggest icons in pop culture, expectations will always be high. For critics and fanboys its either awesome or s@%t lang.

But yeah, it was worth the price of a ticket. All flaws in the story aside, it was an entertaining movie

Yeah yun nga, hindi mo talaga pwede piliin mga taong masasaktan mo sa huli

Dude, leave Manny Pacquiao alone. You dont like him then dont vote for him. May alam ka pang sinira sinira eh gusto lang naman maglingkod nung tao. He is rich, he is very successful, healthy and he is a good person. More than anything else, buo at masaya ang pamilya nya. Yan naman ang dasal natin para sa bawat Filipino. Eh ikaw, kumusta trabaho at pamilya mo?. Andami mo pang nasasabi eh wala naman pakialam sayo si Manny. By the way, its good u mentioned the word Talangka. Trust me, you can be a one without u knowing.

I hate to be the one to say this to you, but Manny does not know you exist either. For sure your well wishes and messages for him in this thread hindi nya din nabasa. Come on! You do not have to be so defensive of him even from fair criticisms. Ano sya? Dyos? Alam mo kung ano opposite ng talangka? Linta na kakapit sa kanya at sisipsip ng husto. Trust me too you can also be one without knowing. Kaya huwag mo din sayangin oras mo kakadepensa sa kanya. Asikasuhin mo din pamilya or trabaho mo na lang, kasi hindi ka naman mapapasalamatan ng personal ni Manny.

Si Mar Roxas at si Binay, sabi nila gusto din nila maglingkod. Pero malamang sila tatawagin mong epal, pero si manny pag nakita mong mamigay ng supot bilib ka kaagad sa sinseridad nya tumulong. Kung sinsero nga, eh bakit nya ginagawang sideline pagiging congressman. Tama naman si Sen. Saguisag eh.

As for Manny being a good person.... well he has a public image to maintain. How much of it is real? Taong malapit lang sa kanya makakapagsabi nito. Nakita natin hindi naman immaculate yun tao. Eto isipin mo, kung di sya ganyan kasikat, magiging atat ka ba ipagtanggol sya lagi? Think about that before throwing Ad Hominems

This is why we should all practice emotional independence. Maganda lang sa mga pelikula ni Aga Muhlach yun paikutin mo buong mundo mo sa iisang tao. Tuloy kahit hindi na maganda nangyayari at alam mo naman na mali na, hindi ka pa din umaalis. Kasi akala mo hindi ka mabubuhay ng wala itong taong ito. Which is not true! Kasi nabuhay ka naman at nagawang maging masaya nung wala pa sya di ba?

Eto lagi iisipin, the other person is not meant to complete you. That is your responsibility. The other person is merely there to compliment you. He or she may give you something na hindi mo nakikita sa iba, but that does not mean you really need him/her to feel complete.

Well

Lahat naman dito nasabi na. Eto na lang dadagdag ko.

Simple lang naman kasi problema eh. Kung di ka na masaya at tingin mo hindi ka na nagiging mabuting tao sa kinakasama mo, eh di hiwalayan mo ng maayos. Make clear terms. Leave the person with a bit of dignity. Then do what you want. Para sakin, affairs are for cowards. Ayaw mo na pala, eh di panindigan mo at hiwalayan mo.

Second, I do not believe that we should always pursue things that makes us happy. Happiness is not a gauge kung tama o mali ginagawa mo. At minsan kelangan isakripisyo natin mga bagay na nagpapasaya satin para sa huli yun tama ang mangingibabaw. Yan kasi ang hirap, basta masaya tayo, blurred na yun line ng right and wrong. Pilit natin lolokohin sarili natin na tuwid ang isang bagay na kitang kita namang baluktot.

Ang happiness, parang pera din yan eh. You can be blissfully happy and feel you got everything you want doing something dishonest. Or you can be a little happy and at the same time feel something is missing. Pero huwag ka, ang lahat ng utang ay may kabayaran. Life is not fair but it is just. The devil has a way of collecting. Umutang ka ng kaligayahan sa maling paraan, malaking interes sisingilin nyan sayo. Isipin mo, si Napoles siguro nung di pa sya nabubuko naguumapaw din kaligayahan nya. Pero ngayon na nakakulong sya at buong pamilya nya minumura ng tao, malamang nagiisip sya ngayon kung worth it ba ginawa nya.

Sana makinig yun mga dapat habang di pa huli lahat.
