Cebu City for President Gilberto Teodoro

I firmly believe that it should be. Dapat GIBO! I am voting for Gibo. After many days of thinking and looking at different angles, i can only see one candidate that qualifies for the presidency and its Gibo, Gilberto Teodoro.

The truth shall, indeed, will set you free. I am just a simple man with simple ideas. Living a simple life. I have a daughter with me, I have my stable job and business is ok so far. I don’t want the Philippines to look like trash from far nations. Considering I work for the hospitality industry, whatever affects tourism in our country affects my job. Life is much better than what it was years ago.

I know how important the truth is, I admire those people who cry for truth for the betterment of the nation. However, if these people who continue to crowd the streets, raising red flags and sometimes even burning our own flag doesn’t stop, our nation will never change.

To be honest, I was touched on how the people of the truth have come together in unity. It is so amazing to know that there are still these people who care for our nation.

However, you said,

"There and then before you was the truth
of the leaders of true faiths come to trumpet forth the truth, the truth of an
outraged people come to build a scaffold for those who would not tell the truth,
the truth of an awakened nation come to build a scaffolding for the truth."

I am sad about the OUTRAGED PEOPLE word, I hope many people will fight for truth not by anger and rage but rather be there and put love and compassion in the midst.

Free Tibet

When I was young, I thought Tibet was a sovereign country; it is only now, because of the recent news on the Internet that I have come to know its present state. That Tibet is a Chinese controlled territory.

This year the eyes of the world would be on China for the Beijing Olympics to be held there. In China’s point of view it seems that the exiled government of Tibet, the Dalai Lama as their leader, is taking this opportunity to recover their country. However, the Dalai Lama and his government-in-exile denied this allegation.

If you look on the history of Tibet, the country is struggling for independence for decades. And as of this moment in time rallies, protests, and revolts are happening again. It is the same struggle for independence, history repeating itself. It would be the biggest revolt against China.

The saddest thing is, independence comes with a very expensive price. Right now, we are hearing reports of death from this uprising. Innocent people are being killed (directly or indirectly), taken into prison, and arrested.

I hope China will handle this situation with utmost care, the Chinese government should undertake the necessary measures, even to a point of giving up with the battle and granting Tibet its freedom.

As I recall this phrase from a famous Filipino song, “Ibon mang may layang lumipad, kulungin mo at umiiyak.” I don’t know the exact translation to this but here is mine “Like birds freely fly, cage them and they will cry.” I guess that’s it, it is human nature to ask for independence, as birds’ nature is to fly.
