I Watched the "Case Unclosed" Episode on the Chiong Sisters

It would be Halloween tomorrow. Sorry in advance for non-Tagalog speakers if you can't understand. It's too bad I have no transcript to translate to English. Instead of wasting time on Noli de Castro's "Aswang" videos--it would be best to rewatch this documentary. I wish I had seen it back when it was first aired. A lot of inconsistencies are pointed out in this documentary. Apparently, it was aired on October 16, 2008.

The video doesn't deny Francisco Juan "Paco" G. Larrañaga's previous case of attempted kidnapping, the Uy brothers' mother revealing that her sons weren't friends with Paco during that time, and the fact that there's a lot of inconsistencies. How can I honor the Supreme Court decision after realizing that Davidson Rusia wasn't even cross-examined, where was all the evidence, and blind faith in the judiciary that it will never convict an innocent person? 

I encourage people to watch this episode and see it for themselves. One doesn't need to be a lawyer to understand what's being spoken of here!

Let's Be Real: Term Limits Cause Political Dynasties to Spiral Out of Control

Inquirer There's always the obsession with political dynasties. There's also the obsession with term limits . Back in the 1990s, I remembered fearing charter change . I was afraid that the late Fidel V. Ramos might become a dictator. The talks that if a president would rule for more than six years--would be considered "frightening" or "nakakatakot" in Tagalog. I wrote an article where I wrote one staggering truth-- a  long reign isn't necessarily tyrannical and that a short reign isn't necessarily benevolent . In my discussion, I highlighted both Pol Pot and Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr.--both deceased dictators. Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge dictatorship murdered millions in contrast to Marcos' regime. Of course, some people will say Pol Pot would've caused Cambodia to go extinct if he rhad eigned longer. I remember the logic that I was told back in elementary school. I was told that the reason why term limits are imposed is to prevent another Marcos-...

Rethinking Why Typhoons Are Necessary

I was watching this Tagalog video on YouTube. It made me think about the ecological role of typhoons. The Philippines is prone to typhoons the most, while Indonesia is prone to tsunamis. As I was looking at people who wish storms will never come, they never realize the ecological role that storms play. But first, let's look into the reason why typhoons are common in the Pacific Ocean . THE PACIFIC IS WARMER Sea surface temperatures (°C) around the world on July 14, 2016. Image credit: NOAA/ESRL/PSD Warm sea surface water is the fuel that drives tropical cyclones. If you ignore large-scale anomalies like El Niño and La Niña, the waters in the Pacific Ocean are usually warmer than those of the Atlantic Ocean, and the temperatures stay pretty toasty through almost the entire year . If you were to take a swim in the water off the coast of the northern Philippines, it would feel like you dunked yourself into a freshly drawn bath, just as it would if you took a dip in the ocean at a beac...

Why Philippine Elections Can Be Compared to GAMBLING

Gemini AI Art Some time ago, I wrote an essay that Filipinos can expect to lose more money betting that people will vote wisely . It's time for the truth,  and the  inconvenient truth hurts now, doesn't it? I had Gemini AI create this new AI art of President Ferdinand "Bongbong" R. Marcos Jr. and Atty. Maria Leonor "Leni" S. Gerona-Robredo, at the casino, just to make a point. Sure, Bongbong shook hands with Leni in Sorsogon as a step for political reconcilation . However, such events should be considered more like random variables, such as getting your ball to land on a certain color and a specific number in a game of roulette.  Let's define what a gamble means. The Cambridge Dictionary defines gamble as: to do something that involves risks that might result in loss of money or failure, hoping to get money or achieve success: The gamble of whether your candidate wins or not, because popularity is fickle It's effortless to say, "It's not rea...
