What Happens if Facebook is in Real Life

Facebook is probably the most common and the most popular networking site today.  Almost everybody who knows how to use the internet, have a facebook. Even a 6-year old child can join. There is no age limit. Take a look on this funny video i found on Youtube. It was hilariously done and everything in it is so true, that everybody - with Facebook - can relate. The problem, on my opinion, about having a Facebook account is the issue on privacy. Everybody can put every secret you have. They can either put your secret through their status update or even tag you in a photo and share it to everybody. There is no wrong about having a facebook account. The only problem is about how we tend to make use of it. Facebook actually can help us on our daily lives. On facebook, we can do business here. We can post our business and makes our business grow and be known easily through this networking site.

On the other hand, Facebook has it's negative side, that is if we do it in a wrong way. Since everybody can join and no age limit is required, child pornography is one of the biggest problem with networking sites. These children, unknowingly and innocently post their pictures, probably half-naked (since they're just children), post it on their account. And these pedophiles take advantage out of it. Also, the other big problem with having a networking site like facebook is the issue on posting your personal shoutouts and telling the world about it. There even was one incident that the wife was killed by his husband just because of the first's status update.

There's actually a lot of good things and must be thankful of about having a facebook account. The only sad part is, we tend to mix it with our wrong doings. Facebook is made to create a connection with the people that is dear to us and has been separated to us. If we just be able to know the good things and use it on the right way, there would be no problem, at all! Happy Facebooking!

Political Feud

When i arrived home from my weekly HD session this evening, i noticed a pamphlet  laid over the table and it seemed no one ever bothered reading it. I asked my mum about it and she told me to read it since she already did. Well, i asked her once again what it was but she just told me to read it and tell her what i think about the content. My mum, who always keeps me "hanging", made me curious about it.

The title says, "SI NOYNOY NA BA AT WALA NG IBA???" and with this alone, made me more curious and read the whole article. The article was, according to the texts was researched  and distributed by the former Congressman Rene P. Dragon, all bout Noynoy Aquino's being unfit to such presidential position. Every incapability was pointed out - one by one - by the author who published it on his Facebook account, Atty. Gary Tiongco, a graduate of UP college of law. Every detail he wrote, according to him, were of his opinion as a non-political persona. But as far as my knowledge in research is concern, i couldn't find the name Gary Tiongco or Atty. Gary Tiongco.

Frontpage of the booklet

Honestly, i got nearly convinced by the writings but then on the later part of the booklet, i read the name of Manny Villar. If i could just laugh so hard on what i just read, i would but then i had to keep it myself.

Who would ever believe on such  writings especially that the one who wrote is a supporter? Im not saying im Villar's supporter or Noynoy's. Neither of the two. What im actually pointing out here is this whole filthy political feud. It's even more pathetic that this whole "feud" touches up one's egos! Look at what was thrown at Noynoy's camp? It was his alleged psychological report saying he underwent great depression and psychiatric treatment. And to Manny? Well, every possible "evil" thing and that he didn't really "come from a poor family".

Somebody from facebook sent me a picture of Baby James Yap showing his "dirty fingers". I can't say how genuine the picture is or how fake it is but what i know is this whole situation especially during election just made me feel so sad about our country. Imagine, you include a kid just to ruin one's credibility? Again, im not saying all these as a supporter. Im mainly saying these as a concerned citizen. If these are the kind of attitudes our future leaders are showing us even before they're yet on the position, how much more if already elected?

Baby James' "Dirty Finger"

This whole "political feud" during election seems so normal already to most people. Political gimmicks, scandals, bribery, vote-buying (there's even flying-voters!), name it, our country has it. We boast our country as the only Catholic country (majority) in Asia but we have the dirtiest election and that doesn't show the Christianity in us.

This coming May 10th, i pray for a VERY peaceful and successful 1st AUTOMATED ELECTION in the country's history! Let not others dictate us who to elect. Let's be vigilant to guard our vote. Remember, every vote counts.

Noynoy's psychological report

This issue on Noynoy Aquino's psychological report made a big noise on the world of politics and of course to the whole of blogosphere. Just as today, as i read the morning paper, the headline says about the alleged psychological report and also about the candidate's refusal to a certain psych examination.

It was said that the NP or Nacionalista Party led by his great rival on today's election, Manny Villar made up all these. Which, of course was denied by the latter group.

Many articles about the the alleged brouhaha were circulated and shared all over the internet. I happened to receive one document regarding Noynoy's highschool years in Ateneo. It was a letter which happens to have the author anonymous. I asked the source about the letter's author but he denied. He told me, as we spoke on Facebook:

With this response, i gave my utmost respect.

Im not saying im an anti-Noynoy (although i admit im not a supporter) the reason i make this entry. What i just wanted to say and know is all about the headline from the newspaper. Yes, they defended Noynoy saying it's all but fake. But why does Mr. Aquino refused himself to such test? If they don't hide anything from us, voters, we might be able to choose the rightful president - a psychologically-normal one.

I read an article from the philstar.com website saying that Aquino "was the “victim” of malicious and bogus psychiatric reports and must not be the one to suffer by being pressed to take a psychiatric examination."

He also said that, "If we bite what is wrong, an established false, we want to make that which is false a reality. Are we not the persons who should be undergoing treatment?"

It was also said that Aquino underwent a psychiatric test while staying at Boston, accoding to the writer Carmen Pedrosa.

We understand Mr. Aquino's right to refusal in submitting himself to such test but for the sake of the Filipino people who will vote for him this coming May 10th (since he always tops the mock elections and surveys), it's better if he do the psych test. Seven of the presidential candidates agreed and submitted themselves to a test but only Mr. Aquino refused. Nothing will lose if everything he said is true, right? That would only makes the voters think twice if this continues to be a mystery.
