  1. Just watched El Presidente. It's about the history of the Philippine revolution and revolves around the lives of President Aguinaldo, Andres Bonifacio, General Trias, Antonio Luna, etc.

     

    Highly recommended for students of Philippine History.

     

     

    Highly recommended??? Do you know anything about our history???

     

    The movie told a skewed version of our history...

    si aguinaldo ang nagpapatay kay bonifacio at luna

    di naipagtanggol ni bonifacio ang sarili nya sa trial dahil sinaksak sya sa leeg

    sinabi ng nanay ni aguinaldo "buhay pa ba yan?" nung pinatay si luna nung pinatawag sya ni aguinaldo sa bahay nya...

     

    bakit hindi pinakita sa pelikula na si aguinaldo ay kumampi sa mga hapon nung 2nd world war?

    @PapaChen,

    YES!!!

    Pero applicable lang sya sa presidente...

    At the end of a presidential term, sa national elections. May block na dun for death penalty Y/N

    Pagnanalo ang Y... Bibitayin ang outgoing president, Pag N naman ibig sabihin aprubado ng mga mamayan ang kanyang termino...

     

     

     

     

    Agree ka ba sa proposal ko?

  3. oooops...

     

    akala ko itong thread na ito para sa mga batang lansangan na namamalimos... :(

     

     

     

    ========================================

     

    rugby? here... sapalagay ko we can compete even with local talents just teach the people the rules and the basics...

     

    filipinos are physically strong... ang isang importante na dapat ituro sa mga pinoy tungkol dito ay disiplina at hindi pagiging pikon sa pisikalan...

  4. defend the nation at all cost?

    defend all the other islands?

     

    the philippines as an archipelago will have a hard time defending itself. Also because of this it will also take a huge amount of time for us to be occupied by other nations. e.g. the british only conquered manila until the spaniards reclaimed it.

    the americans colonized us because we were sold by the spaniards to them. the japanese didn't colonize the philippines, they only occupied luzon.

    the philippines as a third world country doesn't have the funds to protect its boundaries especially that it is an archipelago

     

    how to we defend ourselves then? diplomacy without kissing ass? hmmmm... a patriotic economist should make a good diplomat for this.

    trade relations with our neighbors will be the key

  5. i agree kalel...

     

    they should have some or semblance thereof of a post threat...

    and because of that the defense will be honest enough for their shooters and slashers

     

    now who to trade would be the question... hmmmm...

     

    kerby for espinas???

  6. Call this old news

    GENERAL SANTOS CITY — Protestant pastors have been coming in droves to Manny Pacquiao’s mansion here. And their number is increasing each day.

    One day, seven of them coming from different religious factions arrived. The next day, the number rose to 10. They take a bath, sleep and eat right there as if it is their own house.

    They are the new phantoms of the boxing icon. They follow him wherever he goes – from here to Baguio and even the United States.

    They started stalking the Filipino ring idol after the Pacquiao-Marquez fight in November 2011, when the world’s eight-division boxing champ decided to change his lifestyle and began holding daily Bible study with his family, friends and supporters.

    But there were just two or three pastors then attending in the Bible study.

    A source close to Pacquiao told the Philippine Daily Inquirer that these pastors have been abusing the man’s kindness and generosity.

    “They are making our boxing idol a milking cow. The real Manny Pacquiao doesn’t know how to say no. But if they are real disciples of God, they should be ashamed of what they are doing,” the source said.

    The source said that one pastor was given an I-Pad but seemingly not contented with what he got, he still asked for a new service vehicle. “Now, he is sporting brand new pick-up, courtesy of Manny Pacquiao,” the source added.

    Another pastor asked for cash, while the other abandoned his flock somewhere in Northern Luzon just to be with the boxer-lawmaker.

    Another pastor joined the Pacquiao team during the training camp in Los Angeles. “He asked for 36 tickets in the Pacquiao-Bradley fight. The guy got what he wanted,” the source said.

    “I was the one so ashamed when he asked Manny Pacquiao to get eight hotel rooms for his family in the US,” the source added.

    According to the Philippine Daily Inquirer source, it was the first time that someone asked for 36 tickets and eight hotel rooms from the boxing champ.

    When Pacquiao and his entourage arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) on June 16, this same pastor was seen brandishing a big Louis Vuitton bag.

    “Now, there are so many pastors. I wanna be a pastor, too,” the source stated.

    Another source has admitted being convinced that religion is the opium of the masses. “And the preachers are the pushers,” the source added. “Before, we were expecting that these pastors would help or guide Manny Pacquiao towards the path of salvation. We didn’t expect that they would abuse his kindness and generosity,” the source lamented.

    The poor, the source claimed, need Pacquiao’s help more than the pastors do. “The poor people are more deserving to receive such blessings. I hope, one day, they would realize their mistake and that they would stop asking any kind of favor from Pacquiao,” the source said.

    The sources said the preachers have been planning a “grand religious concert” for Pacquiao at the Araneta coliseum on June 28.

    “They assigned Manny Pacquaio as the main speaker. From what I’ve heard during the discussion, they wanted Pacquiao to settle all the bills before the staging of the concert,” the source disclosed.

    However, according to the source, Pacquiao insisted that all the bills for the venue rental, catering, transportation, etc. be settled only after the concert.

    “Of course, it can be read between the lines that someone is bound to make a killing out of this concert. This is a multimillion event,” the source said.

    The same sources further revealed that a rift has developed among Pacquiao’s political backers, boxing circle and the pastors.

    “Manny Pacquiao tend to listen to these pastors more than to his advisers and friends from political and boxing circles,” one of the sources claimed.

    Those from political and boxing circles, he said, believed that Pacquiao’s involvement in religious activities has hurt his boxing career.

    Before, he said, the distractions in Pacquiao’s life were his gambling and drinking buddies. “Now, the distractions are the pastors and they are far more costly than the previous ones.”

    “The old Manny Pacquiao is gone. Atop the ring, he is no longer as ferocious as before. Unless he learns to temper his new-found passion and obsession, we would no longer see knock-out victories in his future fights,” he said./INQUIRER

  7. You didn't say how much time is needed for his bible study? What is the start time and end time for this?

    If rest is required, why isn't he following it? Can't he compensate for the missed bible study after the fight?

     

    If he's willing to sacrifice his performance/training/preparation for his bible studies, it's up to him.

     

    bible study would start after dinner. from 8pm till 1am.

     

    that's the thing he skipped the whole strength and conditioning training so he will have time for bible study

    because he weighed that the word's of the pastor were more important than the words of ariza.

     

    yup it's up to him and ho lost. reason his decision to do bible study than train properly.

  8. @friendly, the logic behind that... hindi sya pwede makapag strength and conditioning training before sya magtrain kay roach

     

    ganito kasi ang program dyan before ang training kay roach kay ariza muna for 2 to 4 weeks dapat, ito yung bago sya pumunta sa wild card gym... strength and conditioning...

    pag nagtrain sya kay ariza sobra bigay katawan yun at dapat may timeslot ng pagtulog which is around 9pm or 10pm the latest...

    hindi sya nagcommit sa strength and conditioning training dahil sa bible study na umaabot ng madaling araw...

     

    sana nakita mo na ung logic...
