The Philippines had a suffered probably the worst calamity ever. Hundreds of thousands of Filipinos are greatly affected by it, either by losing their homes and prized possessions or losing their loved ones. The actual number of fatalities probably will never be known, but it is estimated that about 500 people are dead.
There is never any doubt that the Filipinos will overcome this tragedy. We are known for being a hardworking and resilient people. The bayanihan spirit always persists. Watching tv footages about Filipinos helping others, makes me very proud being a Filipino.
We all know that Gilbert Teodoro is the Chairman of the National Disaster Coordinating Center, he is also a candidate of Lakas-Kampi for President in the forthcoming 2010 elections. The disaster brought by typhoon Ondoy is probably a litmus test for Teodoro's capability to lead the nation. This will be the preview on how he will manage the country if he wins. However, this early , he is failing miserably. It's been few days now after the tragedy but there is still a lot of people in need that are not getting any help from the government. That means to say that no matter what the gov't is saying, they have no concrete disaster planning program in place.
Without the private citizens help, there is no way that the filipinos that were affected by the typhoon will all get the badly needed help from the government.
To my fellow Filipinos, don't lose hope . We will overcome this tragedy with or without the gov't's help.

PACQUIAO - COTTO .....FIGHT OF THE YEAR!!!
Forget about the Mayweather vs. Marquez fight this coming Saturday (Sept. 19), if you are looking for a lively, full of action fight . This fight is predicted to be just like that, a long, boring fight with each fighter looking for each other to attack first. But how can it be an exciting fight if both fighters are counterpunchers and nobody wants to attack first....Hehehe...There's no way that I am gonna pay for a PPV for this fight. I might watch live though at justin tv where you can watch it for free!!!! Sorry Floyd, I will never let you touch my hard earned money!!!
With the Pacquiao-Cotto fight fast approaching, it is starting to show promise of a really great fight. The betting line is massively in favor of Pacquiao. Freddie Roach is predicitng a full 12 rounds of action with no knockout. But who know, nobody can tell with the way our Pacman fights. He always fight to the end, I'm sure he will always make us proud.
With Sonsona's victory and Mayols loss, Pacquiao's win will give the Philippines a 2-1 lead against Puerto Rico!!!! Yeheyyyyy!!!

GILBERT TEODORO FOR PRESIDENT---- VOTE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
2 days ago the mostly trapos of Philippine politics elected Gilbert Teodoro to be Lakas-Kampi official candidate for President in 2010 elections. Composed mostly of congressmen that claims to represent their constituents, they almost unanimously voted for Teodoro, a political butterfly, over their ever-loyal Lakas-NUCD member Bayani Fernando.
The whole process is a moro-moro since a day before about 90 of the congressman (most of them are voting members of the executive committee), showed up in a breakfast meeting to express their support to Teodoro.
Although with the current political climate, it does not matter if it is Teodoro or Fernando or even if you combine them together they have a very slim or no chance of winning the presidency given the extreme unpopularity of the current President whom they avidly support. According to Teodoro, if elected as President HE WILL CONTINUE Mrs. Arroyos Programs and will not try to investigate or lest, prosecute the Arroyos for any laws that the family had broken. He also stated that he will empower the Filipinos and provide social justice!!!.
That alone is BUllshit!!!....How can you provide social justice when you are tolerating massive excesses in the government that he is serving. The money that the Arroyo's had stolen from the people could have been used to provide basic services to the Filipino people. What happened to ZTE deal, the supposed computerization of all schools, and all the controversies involving Mike, Mikey and Dato Arroyo.
To be a President you need political will . If elected rest assured , Gibo Teodoro will protect the Arroyos, the excesses of the corrupt traditonal polticians especially the Congressmen. He will be a lameduck, puppet President of the Arroyos.
God Save the Philippines. Don't vote for a Puppet.
