  1. Isang issue na hindi masyado napaguusapan:  Is the Philippine government really willing to bring back ROTC as a program that provides actual military training (including firearms handling and familiarization with basic infantry tactics) to students around the country, with all of its implications?  

    People often forget that ironically, many of the NPA cadres (and some MNLF cadres too) in the 70's onwards were able to do so much damage partly thanks to the fact that they received military training in the ROTC program as students.

    As a reaction to this fact, in the 90s the ROTC program was scaled back/devolved to "magdamagang martsa at bilad sa araw" in many schools and universities, with most students never learning any valuable skill beyond how to pay bribes to bullies and underachievers possessing temporary power.   

    Willing ba talaga ang gobyerno na magturo ng firearms training sa bawat estudyante sa Cagayan Valley o sa Bukidnon? Sa Panay Island? Sa Jolo at Basilan? Sa Maguindanao? Baka magulat sila, ang dami biglang sumali sa ROTC hehe. 

    On top of all of these, may paraan ba ang AFP na pigilan ang malawakan na korapsyon sa ROTC na naexpose sa pagpatay kay Mark Chua ng UST? O gagawin na naman cash cow ito ng mga kurakot?

  2. Let's do this. - Lt. Simon "Ghost" Riley, COD MW2

    The healthy human mind doesn’t wake up in the morning thinking this is its last day on Earth. But I think that’s a luxury, not a curse. To know you’re close to the end is a kind of freedom. Good time to take inventory. Out-gunned. Outnumbered. Out of our minds. On a suicide mission. But the sand and the rocks here, stained with thousands of years of warfare. They will remember us. For this. Because out of all our vast array of nightmares, this is the one we choose for ourselves. We go forward like a breath exhaled from the Earth. With vigor in our hearts and one goal in sight: We. Will. Kill him. - Cpt. John Price, MW2

  3. Napansin ko simula nitong pandemic, humirap kumuha ng stock mula sa mga usual sellers (Samsmodelkits, jnjt etc) ng PBandai HG kits. May mga seller na  pwede pa rin orderan ng stock from japan pero mahal nila nakukuha, unlike dati na kahit anong hanap mo na variant ng Jegan ay meron makukuhanan.  Yung mga seller ngayon mostly focused sa mga MG na Seed, or Gundam Wing or yung galing sa Build series. Hopefully once humupa yung pandemic magimprove yung situation (at magreprint ng magreprint si Bandai hehe). 

  4. From Heat (1995):

    Vincent Hanna (Pacino) : You know, we are sitting here, you and I, like a couple of regular fellas. You do what you do, and I do what I gotta do. And now that we've been face to face, if I'm there and I gotta put you away, I won't like it. But I tell you, if it's between you and some poor bastard whose wife you're gonna turn into a widow, brother, you are going down.

    Neil McCauley  (De Niro): There is a flip side to that coin. What if you do got me boxed in and I gotta put you down? Cause no matter what, you will not get in my way. We've been face to face, yeah. But I will not hesitate. Not for a second.
