WHAT'S NEXT AFTER ELECTIONS ?

First, I have to say I congratulate Senator Noynoy Aquino for being our next president of our country. I will respect the will of God and the will of the people. I ask to the Filipino people to support the new president and pray for him in every reforms that he will do for our country.

Second, I would like to thank Mr. Nicanor Perlas for fighting a good fight for our people. Because of you, you have given us a right choice in this election. You have raised the spirit of activism in all of us. For us, you are the champion in our hearts. You are a rebelutionary. Always adhering the call of New Politics. I would like to thank the volunteers and supporters who have spent their time, money, and talent, for a righteous and noble cause. I want to say that our efforts are not in vain. I also thank the 46, 143 (and still counting) who voted for Nick. Your vote is not wasted because you have voted according to your conscience and conviction. I hope that you will still adhere to the principle of building a new Philippines.

Third, you would ask if what's gonna be next for us after this election. For me, I will be more radical in doing something worthwhile for the country I and God both loved. I will never turn a blind eye on the injustice, poverty, and other social maladies that plagues us. I will be an activist for God's greater glory and to the service of the country.

We can't wait for another three or six years before we get ourselves together for one cause. The next six years will be a long-term training for the better challenges ahead. We have just planted the seed of new politics by starting a movement that upholds to it. All we gonna do is to water it and care for it. For that time comes, when it grow strong, we can emerge more than our expectations.

BECAUSE OF THAT, I, DANIEL JOSEPH T. CASTRO, WILL BE A TRUE PANGMASA IN WORD AND IN DEED !!!

I also want to tell you that this will be my final post for JUMPING JUPITER and for this account. I will be creating two new blogs soon. Thank you for reading my posts on this page.

What Are We Going To Do With Adam Carolla ?

Once again, Filipinos are at it again.
They poured out their anger on Adam Carolla, a famous radio personality in America, for his hard-hitting comments on Filipinos especially our very own boxer Manny Pacquiao. Here is the full comment of Carolla against Pacquiao and the Filipinos:











On my opinion, although the comments are so destructive, maybe there's a truth on it, and we should not be onion-skinned about it. He said that we Filipinos are very dependent to Pacquiao as a symbol of our national pride. Sa totoo lang, naiinis ako kapag may nariringgan akong tao na pagkatapos manalo si Pacquiao eh sasabihin na siya ay "proud to be Pinoy". Para bang napaka-passive ang response natin sa national pride sa halip na maging inspirasyon sa bawat isa na gamitin ang sariling mga talento at lakas. Lagi na lang inaasa sa iba ang national pride.

At kapag national pride natin ang babanatan, ang bilis natin mag-react. Bakit ano ba ang nagawa mo sa bansa natin para makilala ang ating bansa?

I ask Filipinos to suspend judgement first and listen carefully to what he is trying to say. And then, tignan natin kung totoo ang kanyang mga sinasabi. Huwag tayong balat-sibuyas. Harapin natin ang katotohanan ng buong tapang at bigyan nating ng kaukulang solusyon para hindi na muli tayong mapulaan. Aantayin pa ba natin na isang dayuhan na naman ang pumuna sa atin?

Magsilbi itong hamon sa atin upang gumawa ng sariling bagay na makakatulong sa pag-angat ng ating bansa.

Eto naman ang komentaryo ni Lourd De Veyra tungkol sa pagiging balat-sibuyas ng mga Pilipino:

1700% TUITION FEE INCREASE IN PUP MAIN: TOO HARD TO BEAR

Students of the Polytechnic University Of The Philippines walked out of their classes last Friday to protest against the 1700% tuition fee increase from P12/unit to a whopping P200/unit. The students are outraged that even chairs and desk were not spared and throw them out of the building.

I, being a student of PUP in Santa Rosa, is against this unfair move by the PUP administration. And although they say that the increase will only take effect on the incoming freshmen, it would only send a chilling effect on the future freshmen.

I hope that the PUP administration will ponder a thousand times on what will be the implications of their action to the poor students before they implement this.

I also appeal to the students to stay calm and do spare the school property. Let's be civilized while we voice our sentiments.

Noynoy: The "Chicken" Of All Presidential Forums

I was amazed and disappointed with what LP presidentiable Noynoy Aquino said about ignoring debates and simply focus on the normal campaign on the streets. This proves that this man is not worthy of my sacred vote just because he is like chicken feared of getting grilled on debates and forums.

From Journal.com

Noynoy: Debates just waste of time
by Joel dela Torre
Friday, 12 March 2010 19:56
SEN. Noynoy Aquino won’t be joining presidential debates from now on.

Saying debates are just a waste of time, the Liberal Party presidential bet said he will no longer attend debates.

Aquino earlier challenged his closest rival, Sen. Manny Villar, to a debate “anytime, anywhere”. But with his new pronouncement, a face off between the two candidates will no longer occur.

Aquino said debates are no longer in the LP’s list of activities. He said aside from being a waste of time, debates do not attract listeners or viewers.

“I’ll be very honest with you, sino ba ang nakikinig doon?” he told reporters.

He said it takes him one whole day to prepare for a debate that lasts only three hours.

“Tapos sa dulo may three minutes ka magsasalita at baka makatagpo ka pa ng partial moderator,” Aquino said.

He was apparently referring to Antonio Lopez, who served as the moderator in the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry forum, and who Aquino described was “biased” for Villar.

Instead of attending debates, Aquino said they will continue campaigning around the country as they targeted 27 provinces.

Aquino also did not show up at a presidential debate organized by Pastor Apollo Quiboloy of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. His absence angered Quiboloy, who said he had no word of honor.

Think About This

So you will never support Nicanor Perlas because he is not winnable and having no chance of winning this election. You say that he is a "panggulo". You believe that our campaign is a waste of time and a waste of vote. Okay fine. I respect your opinion because we are in this "democratic" country. I will never pick a fight on you, but you need to think about this just for a minute or two.

We have waited for so long for a man to step out of his comfort zone and ran the highest position in government. We are longing for man with professionalism and a platform to challenge the status quo. Nicanor Perlas stood because he believe that we are tired of choosing the "lesser evil" and choosing base on political machinery and popularity but in the end failed to change this nation. Nicanor Perlas believe that we are mature enough to vote for the right candidate. Nicanor Perlas believe that new politics must be born.

Now, if we don't for somebody who will embody our dreams and aspirations as a nation, then we decided the fate of this nation. We have to place our bet to new politics which Nicanor Perlas advocates, because if we don't and instill to our old excuses, then we give these tyrants a happy smile while we suffer the consequences of our excuses.

You accuse him of being a "panggulo" on this election. Now think of this...

PANGGULO BA SI NICK NA NAGING INSTRUMENTO SA PAGPAPASARA SA BATAAN NUCLEAR POWER PLANT ?
PANGGULO BA SI NICK NA NAGING INSTRUMENTO SA PAG-BAN NG 32 PESTECIDE FORMULATIONS ?
PANGGULO BA SI NICK NA MAY MALALIM NA KARANASAN AT KAALAMAN SA AGRIKULTURA ?
PANGGULO BA SI NICK NA NAGKAMIT NG RESPETO MULA DITO SA IBAYONG DAGAT ?
PANGGULO BA SI NICK NA NAMUMUNO SA TATLONG CIVIL SOCIETY NETWORKS ?

If he's not worthy of your vote, then whom are you going to choose ?

TO A MAN WHO SPENT BILLIONS OF PESOS ON INFOMERCIALS ?
TO A MAN WHO ONLY RIDES UPON THE POPULARITY OF HIS PARENTS ?
TO A MAN WHO IS A VIRTUAL SERVANT OF THE FORMER ?
TO A MAN WHO HAVE BEEN ONCE CONVICTED OF CORRUPTION?

If that will be your choice, then is it any wonder why this nation is sinking down to rot.

So I call to those unbelievers to think before you jump into conclusions. Think of what are your dreams and aspirations about this country. Vote for a candidate who will embody our dreams and aspirations. If the do that, a right candidate will emerge.

I've made my decision that my time, money, talent, and my vote will be on Nick Perlas. It will never be a waste because I have bet for the better future for this country. I hope you will change your mind and joins us in this fight for New Politics.

Thank you very much for your time !!!

"BENTE-BENTE"

Napabalitang namigay ng tig-bebente si presidentiable Manny Villar sa mga bata sa kanyang pangangampanya sa Batangas. Subalit sinabi ng COMELEC na ang ginawang ito ni Villar maaring ikunsiderang "vote-buying" ayon sa Omnibus Election Code. Ngunit ayon kay James Jimenez, tagapagsalita ng COMELEC na mahirap idetermina kung "vote-buying" ang ginawang Villar dahil mga bata ang binigyan ng pera at sila ay wala sa voting age. Ngunit sinabi niya na dahil puwedeng makaimpluwensiya ang mga bata sa kanilang mga magulang sa pagboto, maaari pang pumasok ito sa asunto.

Ang ginawang ito ni Manny Villar ay talagang tahasang paglabag sa Omnibus Election Code dahil ginamit ang mga bata upang impluwensiyahan ang kanilang mga magulang na iboto siya. Ngunit isa itong tawag-pansin sa COMELEC upang muling pag-aralan ang OEC at irepaso upang magkaroon ng ngipin laban sa mga bumibili ng boto. At pakiusap sa mga botante, huwag niyong ibenta ang karapatan mong pumili nang malaya at hindi naiimpluwensiyahan ng pera. Huwag mo itong ipagpalit sa maliit na halaga dahil mabilis din itong mawawala. At para kay Manny Villar, alam kong naaawa ka sa mga batang mahihirap ngunit meron tayong mga batas na dapat sundin tulad ng OEC at ang PD 1563 o ang Anti-Mendicancy Act na nagpaparusa sa mga nanlilimos at nagbibigay ng limos.
