Para sa mga galit sa INC: Ire ang maitatanong ko san’yo para sagutin ng tapat, ano ba mga sala ng INC? Nasaktan ba kayo kasi lang sa kanilang mga katwang paraan ng pagsamba sa kanilang dyo? Sa paglimbag ng mga iglesia hindi bundok na basura? Malumbay ba sila sa kanilang napiling daan? Dyos ba kayong may balag magtutol kung ano ang tama o mali? Wala ba kayong galang sa karapatan ng iba na magsanay sa kanilang relihyon? Kayo ba’y lubos?
Pag sagot nyo’y “Wala” o “Hindi,” kayo’y maligalig at kailangan ding malalang saklolo. Pag me kahit isang tugon na “Meron,” o “Oo,” kelangan ko pa ipalinang para mahagap nyo ang badya.
Ang mga relihyon ay may kankanyang patakaran ukol sa pagsamba, paglimos, paghikayat, pagboto, pagtalin… Halim ng paglimos ng INC, sila’y pilitang naga-ambag, kusang loob na naga-ambag, at di ko pa natamo kung meron di naga-ambag hinggil na sila’y abonghirap. Di naiiba sa ibang relihyon, tulad ng Katolika, Baptista, Anglikan, Islam, o Bhuddism. At gaya ng iba, kelangan din ng INC magkaron ng bahaysamba, simbahan, o iglesia, kaya knailang tinatayo hyon.
Tuos ko sa Amerika at Canada, na marami mang mga sanga at sekta ng relihyon at pilosopya, tanyag man o hindi, ay may layang namamampalataya, kahit tabi-tabi rin ang kanilang mga bahay dasal, ay walang alitan o gulong nangyayari sa isa’t-isa. Kung meron, di kasing lala ng gamtan dito (MB silid talakayan), o sa Pilipinas. Ito’y sanhi ng nabihas na mamamayan, may respeto at malawak ang pagtanggap o manhid sa nakakaiba, na sa ilalim ng saligang batas.
Di na bago o bihira ang mga pahayag ng ‘hate pages’ sa internet, namasa na ng meron-alit ang teknologa, maghayag ng mga poot laban sa ibang tao, kasi lang sa kanilang relihyon, kutis, nasa-mana na etniko, raca, lengua, o iytan, atbp… An saklap nangyayari, at mali. Lanpuntan kundi paurong ng racang human, paatras ng ebolusyon.
Nais ba nating maging parang digmaan nimamalas sa Hilagang Ireland, Bosnia, Rwanda, Gitnang Silangan, at Algeria, na ilan lang sa mga lugar, kungsan, ang poot na malapot ay kumukulo, nang umapaw o sumabog, at ikalabsa’y madugong katayan at karsiraan? Hindi, hwag natin tulotin to.
“Lipulin ang sunong nang maliit pa,” mas-buti pa,
“Iwasan ang sunog bago mangyari.”
Hindi sa gusto kong magtalin, o makitalo, hagap ko lang na walang masam magsamba na mapayapa, at pinagtatanggol ko lang kahit munting karapatan nila. Tao rin sila! AT ang tao ay may runong mag-isip, magplan, pumili ng raan sa pakay ng kanilang karonan, at isagawa hyon. Gaya nyo, nagkakamali rin ang mga kasanib ng INC, pero heto’y di sadya sa ngalan ng kanilang relihyon, at likas na labag, o sala rin nina Adam at Eve, o pagkulit ng gamus na ninunong unggoy, ay aninag ng inyong mga pagkukulang.
Para narin kina meron poot kontra ibang relihyon at pilosopya at sugo nito, gaya ng Sikh, Taoist, Hindu, Mormon, etc… Unawain nyo muna ang dialam, sulisitin ang hiwaga at makakamit nyo ang sagot… Buksan inyong damdamin, tanggapin ang budhi at karangalan at karapatan ng human. Kaya itigil inyong pagu-usig, o baka langhapin kayo ng kumunoy, at malunod.

May 10, 2004 Presidential Election – Do Not Vote For FPJ
May 10, 2004 Presidential Election – Do Not Vote For FPJ
April 26, 2004
I’m not much into Filipino politics. Maybe because it’s so messed up, or simply I have not enough time to dedicate to, or time to waste on it. Nevertheless, I still am concerned about the well-being of Mother Philippines. This well-being is going to be hugely influenced and affected by whomever the people choose as president this coming May 10, 2004 election. It doesn’t take one to be a university graduate to understand this, to know what’s right and what’s wrong, and what to do and what not to do. What one simply has to know is voting for greater good of the country, and not only for one's own survival.
If you’re ever are eligible to vote, are in the voting list, and are going to vote on the Philippine presidential election this May 10, 2004, please do yourself and your countrymen a big favour, please don’t vote for Fernando Poe Jr. (FPJ). It’s a pathetic joke. Let me explain.
Think about the big picture here, the realistic world of the Philippines, at large, in greater presence, cooperation and partnership with the global community, not the make believe world of an untested actor.
Don’t keep the gullible and simple-minded Filipinos, from imagining and fantasizing all the time about a fictional hero who would one day appear and would miraculously save them from their pathetic and mediocre lives, and don’t let gullible and simple-minded person/actor like FPJ who thinks and is convinced he’s got what it takes to run the country, to take full advantage of the gullible simple-minded Filipinos.
If FPJ really cares for the well-being his countrymen, if he really loves his countrymen, he wouldn’t be depending his self-indulging macho-image, and popularity, to take advantage of the gullible simple-minded Filipinos or/and crazed fans, to abuse their trust, into blindly voting for him for the top job of the country that he doesn’t qualify for, and ruining the country even more.
If abuse leads to corruption, that unfortunately, has plagued Filipino society and government for decades in an endless chaotic cycle, then FPJ is part of the rotting political system, and if he ever becomes the president, he would, shamefully, be responsible for leading and plunging the country deeper in the dirt hole that’s it’s already in. It’s also in people’s and the country’s best interest not to encourage corruption by corrupting their minds with make-believe heroics that FPJ would miraculously perform if he ever becomes president, and elect for him. Those who are aware of this must take upon themselves, to take action, by simply not voting for FPJ and stop this cycle of corruption by preventing an element of corruption from ever maturing.
Think for example if he ever wins, do you think FPJ would be the actual person who’s going to run the country? Not likely. It’s going to be his countless advisors, other people who may have their own speicalized fields, who may in turn take advantage and control of FPJ’s position, life, and power to further their own agendas, depending who has more influence and weight on FPJ. In other words, FPJ would be a president in name only, but in reality a puppet controlled by his ‘advisors’.
Think about all the silly/offensive jokes that has been sprouting and cycling around about FPJ, especially in the Internet. It will only multiply and become worse if he ever becomes the president, like what happened to Erap. And such jokes, whether you like it or not, does reflect and bare a heavy burden, directly or indirectly, on the common Filipinos who relates to their ‘leader’, the president, their democratic country voted for. Such joke would ironically be a silly joke of Filipinos of themselves, making Filipinos silly people of the world.
I have nothing against FPJ personally, I only know him in the movies. I won’t argue that he’s a good and popular movie actor. But that’s mostly what he’s known for and what he’s good at, and he should stay that way, and remembered that way, for his own good. Entering politics for the presidency is his most unrealized big mistake. I am against this foolish mistake that can otherwise be prevented, if he just simply quits running or if not, that people won’t elect him at all. It could be that his simple-mindedness has over-estimated his ability, or his gullibility has convinced himself, and by the simple-minded Filipinos, or his self-indulging macho-image has over-inflated his super-ego beyond limits, that he strongly believes he can be a president.
This is a mistake, which FPJ may not already realize in his present state of mind, may not only ruin his career as an heroic movie icon, but more seriously, it may cripple the country even worse. Such mistake would surely back-fire on him by angered, and vengeful people who would feel cheated, and betrayed of their trust and expectations, and would have means, influence and power, of either forcing him to step down, and resign, with shame and dishonour, have another military coup/rebellion against his government, have him tried in criminal court, and put to jail (like a criminal, like Erap), or even worse. In addition, his name would forever be tarnished in Philippine history as one of the biggest political monsters, or worst presidents of the Philippines, a disaster not only for himself, but critically, also for the Philippines.
FPJ’s intension to run the country could be honest and good, but the president needs more than just good intentions and popularity in this modern sensible times. A president also needs intellect, wit, and credentials or proofs of competence, with job, professional education, training, skills, experiences, that relates to or enhances to the president job description. He shouldn’t be an exception from these natural requirements/pre-requisites of the president job description. He’s not more special than the other presidential candidates, who may be more qualified than he is. But the voting masses should know better, and realize this simple rational, and base their vote on, rather than gambling their lives and the country for an actor.
The fact that FPJ is a high-school dropout, that he has no political experience, no clear political agenda/views, no concrete budget and investment plans, that he is lousy public speaker, incompetent in debates, and solely plays/relies on peoples sympathy/emotions to win, speaks for himself.
The bottom line is, do you like an incompetent, less or unqualified person like FPJ to run the country or the best person who fits the job description? Filipinos should pursue excellence, for the best, for the most qualified, not only for themselves, but for their leaders as well, and not settle for mediocrity, the worst, and the least qualified --- Tell the world, Filipinos are not cheap, that you can vote wisely, for the best, for the greater good of the country, and not vote for FPJ.
*****
I’m simply saying for those people voting that they vote someone other than FPJ (the worst), which is another possible long story. It’s either I don’t have the time, especially it’s just a few weeks from the actual election day, I don’t have enough interest, to know all candidates, to provide solid decision and support for a particular candidate. For this I apologize for coming up with a slightly incomplete answer.
Supposed that I am in the shoes of one who can vote, I think I would likely vote for President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, because she is highly-educated, smart, has enlightened ideas of the West, but incorporating their benefits for the Philippines. She is a strong leader, very tested and she somehow, manage to improve the Philippines, as compared to the ERAPcrap administration.
I may be kind of bias here because she’s the only presidential candidate I met personally. She came to Toronto in 2002 and I manage to attend her welcoming and speech in Toronto Conventional Centre. I’m impressed. A leader doesn’t have to be macho/sexy-image type that media may want to cheaply insinuate, but she’s just fine, to be the president.
If you want to know more about what happened that day you can read my post below I posted here before (but can’t find or don’t have access in the Filipino.ca archive, posted a few days after her meeting on Jan 30, 2002 GMT –5/Toronto, ON), my opinion back then may slightly differ from my opinion now because of information circumstance. I didn’t edit it so it’s genuine copy of the original.
~~~~~~~~~~
Galeng nyo talaga, mga performers, mga kababayan, pangulo at delegasyon!
Good Job, I’m proud of you!
I’m honored, privileged, and entertained to have attended the President Gloria Arroyo Macapagal meeting at the Toronto Convention Centre. It’s not like I get to meet a Philippine president everyday. Actually it’s very very rare. She’s the first president I get to see live, and shake hand with. The other president then was Corazon Aquino, which I saw so far at the Edsa tower that she’s just a tiny speck, at the Edsa place. She was surrounded by other officials and bodyguards and soldiers, and is therefore untouchable/unapproachable.
GMA
Indeed her physical size may be petit, but her character and pose shine brightly with gigantic intelligence, courage, kindness and faith, that makes a well suited economic, diplomatic, philanthropic, and charismatic leader of the Filipinos (definitely much better than Reap), and therefore I call her “Mahan an Angelo”
I listened to her speech. She has a powerful, firm, and dignified voice, and fluent in the National Language (also Kapampangan, and phrases of other Filipino languages-Illongo, Cebuano, etc…). She knows what she’s talking about. Although the way it is presented or said might hint some Filipino psyche, differing from the North American/Canadian psyche.
(I should have brought at least a tape recorder to record her speech, and listen to it again). The idea of dual citizenship is ok, if the needs do apply. Although, pratically, who wants to pay double taxes to two countries if even one country’s tax is high enough? Yeah, this has been planned for years now, is she the one who’s do something about it this time?
About the voting issue. There is pro and con. There is more con than pro. The pro side is that ex-Filipinos/overseas Filipinos, who are generally econmically better, more educated, and more ‘enlightened’, can guide some less advantageous Filipinos back home the ‘right’ way of running the country through their sponsored ‘enlightened’ leader, if such leader do exists. The big CON is that most ex-Filipinos/overseas Filipinos don’t even know the Philippines as a whole, they only know their regional, tiny spots, in the Philippines, and will only support those regional leaders whom they affiliate with based on their regional interests. As we already know, there are lots of Filipino Philippine regional communties here in Toronto. The voting in the Philippines will only create crevices within our Filipino communites. And even if we more fortunate and more educated than people back in the Philippines, we can’t speak for them if they can speak for themselves, even if we think it’s not ‘wise’. To them, we’re just ex-Filipinos minding their business. And it’s true, we’re in Canada.
About the $1billion investment in the LRT route to Bulacan (did I hear this right?). Personally, I think it’s better if the money goes to educating and training the street people, squatters, and the poor people to become productive citizens, to mobilize across the country, to the less developed and deforested lands, to plant trees, farm crops, irrigate the arable lands, settle uninhabited islands, and build roads and parks, also investing to the technological tools which makes these works more efficient and effective, to make the country more environmentally, culturally, and agriculturally rich and friendly. What’s the LRT gonna do if millions of people are jobless, poor and are stucked in the cities, like Manila hungry, sick, and dying and will commit crimes, illigalities, prostitutions, and dishonourable acts just to survive their cruel existence? Besides, the investment and development only affect the Manila/central Luzon area, the other regions of the country won’t benefit from this. I don’t know what the more educated GMA has on her mind…
About the Filipino Community Centre in Toronto project. It’s funny how GMA said “Hey(address to the treasurer-and name), make sure to take note of this, from the Malacanang Palace, I will donate $4000 to the Filipino Community Centre”. She’s just like talking casually, like nothing official. The Community Centre costs millions, but I’m sure her donation will go a long way, every penny counts.
In the end she said that even if there are hardships she will face it willingly with our support How does it feel to be ex-Filipinos eh? We’re so valuable that she has to personally say this to us.
Before this gets any more complicated (actually there’s more issues to discuss), I just want conclude by saying her visit strengthens the Filipino community here and bring closer ties of Canada and the Philippines.
P.S. Karen, anong mahiyain, kapalmuks ko nga kaya binati kita. Siguro normal lang yun. Yah, magaleng din si Anna (yung khawig ni Chyrell sa malayo), Fiesta Filipina Dance Troupe, Folklorico, atbp… Alam ko marami rin dyan humahanga sa inyo, mga performer ngunit, super-shy sila, di tulad ni Canuyckien…(gusto ko na makita ang piks, thanks TMIKE)
~~~~~~~~~~
To be fair, and if given the chance, I would study the other candidates and would likely find another qualified-enough candidate, I hope. I wish you wise voting.

Mai 10, L'Élection 2004 Présidentielle - Ne votez pas Pour FPJ
Je ne suis pas beaucoup dans la politique philippine. Peut-être parce qu'il est ainsi sali vers le haut, ou simplement je n'ai pas assez de temps à consacrer à, ou heure de gaspiller là-dessus. Néanmoins, J'AM préoccupais toujours par le bien-être de la mère Philippines. Ce bien-être va être énormement influencé et affecté près qui
que ce soit que le peuple choisit comme président ce venir mai 10, élection 2004. Il ne prend pas un pour être un diplômé d'université pour
comprendre ceci, pour savoir ce qui est exact et ce qui est erroné, et ce qui à faire et ce qui à ne pas faire. Ce qu'on simplement doit savoir vote pour plus grand bon du pays, et non seulement pour sa propre survie.
Si vous êtes êtes jamais en droit de voter, soyez dans la liste de vote, et vont voter sur l'élection présidentielle philippine ce mai 10, 2004, veuillez se faire et vos compatriotes une grande faveur, svp ne votez pas pour Fernando Poe Jr. (FPJ). C'est une plaisanterie pathétique. Laissez-moi expliquer.
Pensez à la grande image ici, le monde réaliste des Philippines, à grand, en plus grande présence, coopération et association avec la communauté globale, pas la marque croient le monde d'un acteur non essayé.
Ne gardez pas les Philippins crédules et simple-occupés, d'imaginer et de fantasmer toute l'heure au sujet d'un héros fictif
qui un jour apparaîtrait et les sauverait miraculeuxment de leurs
vies pathétiques et médiocres, et ne laissez pas la personne crédule et simple-occupéel'acteur aiment FPJ qui pense et est convaincu qu'il a ce qu'il faut
à la course au pays, pour profiter pleinement des Philippins simple-occupés crédules.
Si FPJ s'inquiète vraiment du bien-être ses compatriotes, s'il aime vraiment ses compatriotes, il ne dépendrait pas sa macho-image individu-se livrante, et popularité, pour tirer profit des Philippins simple-occupés crédules ouet ventilateurs fous, pour maltraiter leur confiance, dans voter aveuglément pour lui pour le travail supérieur du pays
pour lequel il ne qualifie pas, et ruinant le pays encore plus.
Si l'abus mène à la corruption, cela malheureusement, a infesté la société et le gouvernement philippins pendant des
décennies dans un cycle chaotique sans fin, alors FPJ fait partie du système politique de décomposition, et s'il devient jamais le président, il , honteusement, soyez responsable de mener et le plongement du pays plus profond dans
le trou de saleté qui est lui est déjà dedans. Il est également dans les personnes et le meilleur intérêt du pays
de ne pas encourager la corruption en corrompant leurs esprits avec
faire-croient le heroics que FPJ exécuterait miraculeuxment s'il
devient jamais président, et élisez pour lui. Ceux qui se rendent compte de ceci doivent prendre sur eux-mêmes, pour agir, en ne votant simplement pas pour FPJ et arrêtez ce cycle de la
corruption en empêchant un élément de la corruption de mûrir
jamais.
Pensez par exemple s'il gagne jamais, pensez-vous FPJ seriez-vous la personne réelle qui a aller courir le
pays ? Pas probablement. Ce va être ses conseillers innombrables, d'autres qui peuvent avoir leurs propres speicalized des champs, qui peut alternativement profiter et la commande de la position de
FPJ, la vie, et puissance à autre leurs propres ordres du jour, dépendant qui a plus d'influence et de poids sur FPJ. En d'autres termes, FPJ serait un président uniquement du nom, mais en réalité une marionnette commandée par ses conseillers de `.
Pensez à tout l'idiotplaisanteries blessantes qui a été poussant et faisant un cycle
autour environ de FPJ, particulièrement dans l'Internet. Il seulement se multipliera et s'aggravera s'il devient jamais le
président, comme ce qui est arrivé à Erap. Et de telles plaisanteries, que vous l'aimiez ou pas, reflète et découvre un fardeau lourd, directement ou indirectement, sur les Philippins communs qui rapporte à leur chef de ` ', le président, leur pays démocratique a voté pour. Une telle plaisanterie serait ironiquement une plaisanterie idiote des
Philippins d'eux-mêmes, faisant à Philippins les personnes idiotes du monde.
Je n'ai rien contre FPJ personnellement, Je le connais seulement dans les films. Je n'arguerai pas du fait qu'il est un bon et populaire acteur de
film. Mais est la plupart du temps ce pour à ce qu'il est connu et à ce
qu'il est bon, et il devrait rester de cette façon, et rappelé de cette façon, pour son propre bien. La politique entrante pour la présidence est sa grande erreur plus
latente. Je suis contre cette erreur idiote qui peut autrement être
empêchée, s'il stoppe juste simplement courir ou si pas, ces personnes ne l'éliront pas du tout. Il pourrait être que son simple-intelligence a surestimé ses
capacités, ou son gullibility s'est convaincu, et par les Philippins simple-occupés, ou sa macho-image individu-se livrante a distendu son super-ego au
delà des limites, qu'il le croit fortement peut être un président.
C'est une erreur, quel FPJ peut déjà ne pas réaliser dans son état d'esprit actuel, peut non seulement ruiner sa carrière comme icône héroïque de
film, mais plus sérieusement, il peut estropier le pays encore plus mauvais. Une telle erreur pétarderait sûrement sur lui par irrité, et personnes vengeful qui se sentiraient trichées, et trahi de leur confiance et espérances, et aurait des moyens, influence et puissance, de l'un ou l'autre le forçant à ramener, et démissionnez, avec la honte et le déshonneur, ayez un autre coup militairerébellion contre son gouvernement, ayez-le jugé dans la cour criminelle, et mis à la prison (comme un criminel, comme Erap), ou même plus mauvais. En outre, son nom serait terni pour toujours dans l'histoire philippine en tant
qu'un des plus grands monstres politiques, ou les plus mauvais présidents des Philippines, un désastre non seulement pour se, mais en critique, également pour les Philippines.
L'intension de FPJ pour courir le pays a pu être honnête et bon, mais le président a besoin plus que juste de bonnes intentions et
popularité en cela des périodes sensibles modernes. Un président a besoin également d'intellect, esprit, et qualifications ou preuves de la compétence, avec le travail, éducation professionnelle, formation, qualifications, expériences, cela se relie à ou augmente à la description des fonctions de
président. Il ne devrait pas être une exception à ces conditions normaleschoses nécessaires pour la description des fonctions de président. Il n'est pas plus spécial que les autres candidats présidentiels, qui peut être plus qualifié qu'il est. Mais les masses de vote devraient savoir mieux, et réalisez ce raisonnable simple, et basez leur voix dessus, plutôt que de jouer leurs vies et le pays pour un acteur.
Le fait que FPJ est un renvoi de lycée, qu'il n'a aucune expérience politique, aucun ordre du jour politique clairvues, aucuns plans concrets de budget et d'investissement, qu'il est orateur public moche, incompétent au cours des discussions, et joue seulementcompte sur la sympathie de peuplesémotions à gagner, parle pour se.
Le résultat inférieur est, faites-vous aiment un incompétent, moins ou personne incompétente comme FPJ pour courir le pays ou la
meilleure personne qui adapte la description des fonctions ? Les Philippins devraient poursuivre l'excellence, pour le meilleur, pour qualifiée, non seulement pour lui-même, mais pour leurs chefs aussi bien, et pas banc à dossier pour la médiocrité, le plus mauvais, et moins qualifié --- dites le monde, Les Philippins ne sont pas bon marché, que vous pouvez voter sagement, pour le meilleur, pour le bien plus grand du pays, et pas voix pour FPJ.

Good Job, I’m proud of you!
I’m honored, privileged, and entertained to have attended the President Gloria Arroyo Macapagal meeting at the Toronto Convention Centre. It’s not like I get to meet a Philippine president everyday. Actually it’s very very rare. She’s the first president I get to see live, and shake hand with. The other president then was Corazon Aquino, which I saw so far at the Edsa tower that she’s just a tiny speck, at the Edsa place. She was surrounded by other officials and bodyguards and soldiers, and is therefore untouchable/unapproachable.
GMA
Indeed her physical size may be petit, but her character and pose shine brightly with gigantic intelligence, courage, kindness and faith, that makes a well suited economic, diplomatic, philanthropic, and charismatic leader of the Filipinos (definitely much better than Reap), and therefore I call her “Mahan an Angelo”
I listened to her speech. She has a powerful, firm, and dignified voice, and fluent in the National Language (also Kapampangan, and phrases of other Filipino languages-Illongo, Cebuano, etc…). She knows what she’s talking about. Although the way it is presented or said might hint some Filipino psyche, differing from the North American/Canadian psyche.
(I should have brought at least a tape recorder to record her speech, and listen to it again). The idea of dual citizenship is ok, if the needs do apply. Although, pratically, who wants to pay double taxes to two countries if even one country’s tax is high enough? Yeah, this has been planned for years now, is she the one who’s do something about it this time?
About the voting issue. There is pro and con. There is more con than pro. The pro side is that ex-Filipinos/overseas Filipinos, who are generally econmically better, more educated, and more ‘enlightened’, can guide some less advantageous Filipinos back home the ‘right’ way of running the country through their sponsored ‘enlightened’ leader, if such leader do exists. The big CON is that most ex-Filipinos/overseas Filipinos don’t even know the Philippines as a whole, they only know their regional, tiny spots, in the Philippines, and will only support those regional leaders whom they affiliate with based on their regional interests. As we already know, there are lots of Filipino Philippine regional communties here in Toronto. The voting in the Philippines will only create crevices within our Filipino communites. And even if we more fortunate and more educated than people back in the Philippines, we can’t speak for them if they can speak for themselves, even if we think it’s not ‘wise’. To them, we’re just ex-Filipinos minding their business. And it’s true, we’re in Canada.
About the $1billion investment in the LRT route to Bulacan (did I hear this right?). Personally, I think it’s better if the money goes to educating and training the street people, squatters, and the poor people to become productive citizens, to mobilize across the country, to the less developed and deforested lands, to plant trees, farm crops, irrigate the arable lands, settle uninhabited islands, and build roads and parks, also investing to the technological tools which makes these works more efficient and effective, to make the country more environmentally, culturally, and agriculturally rich and friendly. What’s the LRT gonna do if millions of people are jobless, poor and are stucked in the cities, like Manila hungry, sick, and dying and will commit crimes, illigalities, prostitutions, and dishonourable acts just to survive their cruel existence? Besides, the investment and development only affect the Manila/central Luzon area, the other regions of the country won’t benefit from this. I don’t know what the more educated GMA has on her mind…
About the Filipino Community Centre in Toronto project. It’s funny how GMA said “Hey(address to the treasurer-and name), make sure to take note of this, from the Malacanang Palace, I will donate $4000 to the Filipino Community Centre”. She’s just like talking casually, like nothing official. The Community Centre costs millions, but I’m sure her donation will go a long way, every penny counts.
In the end she said that even if there are hardships she will face it willingly with our support How does it feel to be ex-Filipinos eh? We’re so valuable that she has to personally say this to us.
Before this gets any more complicated (actually there’s more issues to discuss), I just want conclude by saying her visit strengthens the Filipino community here and bring closer ties of Canada and the Philippines.
P.S. Karen, anong mahiyain, kapalmuks ko nga kaya binati kita. Siguro normal lang yun. Yah, magaleng din si Anna (yung khawig ni Chyrell sa malayo), Fiesta Filipina Dance Troupe, Folklorico, atbp… Alam ko marami rin dyan humahanga sa inyo, mga performer ngunit, super-shy sila, di tulad ni Canuyckien…(gusto ko na makita ang piks, thanks TMIKE)
~~~~~~~~~~
To be fair, and if given the chance, I would study the other candidates and would likely find another qualified-enough candidate, I hope. I wish you wise voting.

Mai 10, L'Élection 2004 Présidentielle - Ne votez pas Pour FPJ
Je ne suis pas beaucoup dans la politique philippine. Peut-être parce qu'il est ainsi sali vers le haut, ou simplement je n'ai pas assez de temps à consacrer à, ou heure de gaspiller là-dessus. Néanmoins, J'AM préoccupais toujours par le bien-être de la mère Philippines. Ce bien-être va être énormement influencé et affecté près qui
que ce soit que le peuple choisit comme président ce venir mai 10, élection 2004. Il ne prend pas un pour être un diplômé d'université pour
comprendre ceci, pour savoir ce qui est exact et ce qui est erroné, et ce qui à faire et ce qui à ne pas faire. Ce qu'on simplement doit savoir vote pour plus grand bon du pays, et non seulement pour sa propre survie.
Si vous êtes êtes jamais en droit de voter, soyez dans la liste de vote, et vont voter sur l'élection présidentielle philippine ce mai 10, 2004, veuillez se faire et vos compatriotes une grande faveur, svp ne votez pas pour Fernando Poe Jr. (FPJ). C'est une plaisanterie pathétique. Laissez-moi expliquer.
Pensez à la grande image ici, le monde réaliste des Philippines, à grand, en plus grande présence, coopération et association avec la communauté globale, pas la marque croient le monde d'un acteur non essayé.
Ne gardez pas les Philippins crédules et simple-occupés, d'imaginer et de fantasmer toute l'heure au sujet d'un héros fictif
qui un jour apparaîtrait et les sauverait miraculeuxment de leurs
vies pathétiques et médiocres, et ne laissez pas la personne crédule et simple-occupéel'acteur aiment FPJ qui pense et est convaincu qu'il a ce qu'il faut
à la course au pays, pour profiter pleinement des Philippins simple-occupés crédules.
Si FPJ s'inquiète vraiment du bien-être ses compatriotes, s'il aime vraiment ses compatriotes, il ne dépendrait pas sa macho-image individu-se livrante, et popularité, pour tirer profit des Philippins simple-occupés crédules ouet ventilateurs fous, pour maltraiter leur confiance, dans voter aveuglément pour lui pour le travail supérieur du pays
pour lequel il ne qualifie pas, et ruinant le pays encore plus.
Si l'abus mène à la corruption, cela malheureusement, a infesté la société et le gouvernement philippins pendant des
décennies dans un cycle chaotique sans fin, alors FPJ fait partie du système politique de décomposition, et s'il devient jamais le président, il , honteusement, soyez responsable de mener et le plongement du pays plus profond dans
le trou de saleté qui est lui est déjà dedans. Il est également dans les personnes et le meilleur intérêt du pays
de ne pas encourager la corruption en corrompant leurs esprits avec
faire-croient le heroics que FPJ exécuterait miraculeuxment s'il
devient jamais président, et élisez pour lui. Ceux qui se rendent compte de ceci doivent prendre sur eux-mêmes, pour agir, en ne votant simplement pas pour FPJ et arrêtez ce cycle de la
corruption en empêchant un élément de la corruption de mûrir
jamais.
Pensez par exemple s'il gagne jamais, pensez-vous FPJ seriez-vous la personne réelle qui a aller courir le
pays ? Pas probablement. Ce va être ses conseillers innombrables, d'autres qui peuvent avoir leurs propres speicalized des champs, qui peut alternativement profiter et la commande de la position de
FPJ, la vie, et puissance à autre leurs propres ordres du jour, dépendant qui a plus d'influence et de poids sur FPJ. En d'autres termes, FPJ serait un président uniquement du nom, mais en réalité une marionnette commandée par ses conseillers de `.
Pensez à tout l'idiotplaisanteries blessantes qui a été poussant et faisant un cycle
autour environ de FPJ, particulièrement dans l'Internet. Il seulement se multipliera et s'aggravera s'il devient jamais le
président, comme ce qui est arrivé à Erap. Et de telles plaisanteries, que vous l'aimiez ou pas, reflète et découvre un fardeau lourd, directement ou indirectement, sur les Philippins communs qui rapporte à leur chef de ` ', le président, leur pays démocratique a voté pour. Une telle plaisanterie serait ironiquement une plaisanterie idiote des
Philippins d'eux-mêmes, faisant à Philippins les personnes idiotes du monde.
Je n'ai rien contre FPJ personnellement, Je le connais seulement dans les films. Je n'arguerai pas du fait qu'il est un bon et populaire acteur de
film. Mais est la plupart du temps ce pour à ce qu'il est connu et à ce
qu'il est bon, et il devrait rester de cette façon, et rappelé de cette façon, pour son propre bien. La politique entrante pour la présidence est sa grande erreur plus
latente. Je suis contre cette erreur idiote qui peut autrement être
empêchée, s'il stoppe juste simplement courir ou si pas, ces personnes ne l'éliront pas du tout. Il pourrait être que son simple-intelligence a surestimé ses
capacités, ou son gullibility s'est convaincu, et par les Philippins simple-occupés, ou sa macho-image individu-se livrante a distendu son super-ego au
delà des limites, qu'il le croit fortement peut être un président.
C'est une erreur, quel FPJ peut déjà ne pas réaliser dans son état d'esprit actuel, peut non seulement ruiner sa carrière comme icône héroïque de
film, mais plus sérieusement, il peut estropier le pays encore plus mauvais. Une telle erreur pétarderait sûrement sur lui par irrité, et personnes vengeful qui se sentiraient trichées, et trahi de leur confiance et espérances, et aurait des moyens, influence et puissance, de l'un ou l'autre le forçant à ramener, et démissionnez, avec la honte et le déshonneur, ayez un autre coup militairerébellion contre son gouvernement, ayez-le jugé dans la cour criminelle, et mis à la prison (comme un criminel, comme Erap), ou même plus mauvais. En outre, son nom serait terni pour toujours dans l'histoire philippine en tant
qu'un des plus grands monstres politiques, ou les plus mauvais présidents des Philippines, un désastre non seulement pour se, mais en critique, également pour les Philippines.
L'intension de FPJ pour courir le pays a pu être honnête et bon, mais le président a besoin plus que juste de bonnes intentions et
popularité en cela des périodes sensibles modernes. Un président a besoin également d'intellect, esprit, et qualifications ou preuves de la compétence, avec le travail, éducation professionnelle, formation, qualifications, expériences, cela se relie à ou augmente à la description des fonctions de
président. Il ne devrait pas être une exception à ces conditions normaleschoses nécessaires pour la description des fonctions de président. Il n'est pas plus spécial que les autres candidats présidentiels, qui peut être plus qualifié qu'il est. Mais les masses de vote devraient savoir mieux, et réalisez ce raisonnable simple, et basez leur voix dessus, plutôt que de jouer leurs vies et le pays pour un acteur.
Le fait que FPJ est un renvoi de lycée, qu'il n'a aucune expérience politique, aucun ordre du jour politique clairvues, aucuns plans concrets de budget et d'investissement, qu'il est orateur public moche, incompétent au cours des discussions, et joue seulementcompte sur la sympathie de peuplesémotions à gagner, parle pour se.
Le résultat inférieur est, faites-vous aiment un incompétent, moins ou personne incompétente comme FPJ pour courir le pays ou la
meilleure personne qui adapte la description des fonctions ? Les Philippins devraient poursuivre l'excellence, pour le meilleur, pour qualifiée, non seulement pour lui-même, mais pour leurs chefs aussi bien, et pas banc à dossier pour la médiocrité, le plus mauvais, et moins qualifié --- dites le monde, Les Philippins ne sont pas bon marché, que vous pouvez voter sagement, pour le meilleur, pour le bien plus grand du pays, et pas voix pour FPJ.

Hey Mike. Some ‘techie’ words that you want translated have Pilipino equivalent terms. But most of the technological, technical, business, and scientific terms doesn’t have native Pilipino equivalence either because they didn’t exist or wasn’t discovered as a concept by the native Pilipinos, or at one time they existed but weren’t valuable or practical enough and weren’t used, or some of us simply don’t know (or don’t bother to know), and was forgotten from the ancestors- Too bad.
Words with Pilipino equivalent:
Electricity-elektrisidad (< panmundong="" habi="" multimedia="">northwest wind-balas, sabalas
->northwest wind-balaklaot, banaklaot
->southwest wind-satalan
That’s all I can share for now, I’m still searching, researching and learning myself. The best source to know these words is from engineers, scientists, or other Pilipino professionals who graduated and who worked from the Philippines who may know about Pilipino technical and scientific, or related Pilipino professional term equivalents, or just surf the web for such related topics.

Thank all for the compliments, and I thank you for your input. I also learned something from you. I’m just here to help, and it’s my duty and honor to serve my fellow kababayan. What I know is little compared to what there is to know about the ‘language’. Over the years, I have gathered Pilipino, either unique, native or useful words that I have encountered along the way. I used to surf the Net on Pilipino web sites, printed-out and picked-up many Pilipino words. The Net is still a valuable resource for useful Pilipino information. But my main readable resources right nowadays, as time allows, are my very own Leo James English “Tagalog-English” 1583-page dictionary, and the “English-Tagalog” 1211-page dictionary (especially requested and imported from Inang Bayan), other Pilipino language dictionaries, plus other notes I’ve written down from other sources. Also, in Mississauga, I borrow Pilipino non-fiction and literature books from the Central Library, Tagalog section of the foreign books area. This section also has some Pilipino books related to studies on the other ethnic and linguistic groups of the Philippines. There’s lot of them. But I especially like to read Virgilio Almario’s works mostly based on Pilipino language and literature criticism and studies, and the Pamantasan ng Pilipinas literature publications. The Pilipino/Tagalog Bible is also a good source to learn some ‘deep’ Pilipino words. Another source, aside from written which is read, is from the spoken which is heard through conversations with real people. But mark that, to know it and be good at it, you have to practice it, speak it, and live it. There’s no other way you can learn, and there’s no excuse.
“Bukod sa ibang kaalaman, at alam na, handa akong makinig sa mga kuro ng ibang kababayn at kapwa Pilipino hinggil sa modernisasyon at pag-uswag ng ating wikang pambansa para masigasig na makibaka nababagay sa hamon ng ngayonang makabagong panahon at kinabukasan bilang mga tagapagtanggol sa katangiang payak Pilipino na ating pamana at mahal nating Inang Bayang Pilipinas bilang pagmahal at paghuwad sa mga dakilang bayani na nagsikap, naghikahos at nagbuwis, ng kanilang mga buhay para lang sa ating kapakanan at sambayanang kalayaan-oh kay sarap, oh uliranin, oh matalinong dalumat, ang maging malaya, masayang kapiling ang mahal na nagbibigay kaluguran at kalubusan sa sintang habambuhay.”
Well, I’m just saying that I’m open to any suggestion for the modernization of the Pilipino national language. You can email me personally with your solutions regarding the matter. I have some ideas already. But that’s another story and another time.

Ang pinaka-top story nga-dias sa mga balita at diaryo ay nauukol sa Gyer Kontra Terrorism, umusbong dahil sa pangyayari nung Sep 11 Atak puh Amerika ng terrorist grup, nahilaang mga taong me ugnay sa Al Qaeda ni Osama Bin Laden. Mabilis at Marami nang nangyari sa ‘campaign’ ng ‘sibilisad nasyons e mund at Pwersa Alyad ’ simuno ng E.U. laban sa terrorist grup ng Al Qaeda base sa Afghanistan a sinusuhay ng gobyern Taliban at kan pwersa militar. Ang Taliban, bilang tagadaong ng terrorists ay pasang lehitmong military target narin. Akalain bang dagling aatras ang pwersa militar at gobyern ng Taliban mul Kabul at iba pang mga lungsod at rehyon sa ilalim ng rejim Taliban, kundi sa ilang linggong pagbomba at tuloyang pag-atak ng Alya Hiah. Alam o lunggati nating mananalo ang Pwersa Alyad simuno ng E.U. dahil ang katatagan ng spirit parsua (human spirit) ng sibilisasyons ay mabigat sa kaunting kasamaan kes pipiliin ang mas kasamaan, niayon rin ni go. Musharraf, na sukdolang magtatagumpay ang kapayapaan.
Ano ang dahilan ba’t ‘tayo’ bilang mga Canadian, alya pards ng mga Kano, membro ng Pwersa Alyad, ay mananalo sa Gyer Knotra Terrorism? Ang mga halatang dahilan ay ang ating pagkabig at tiwala sa sariling pamahalaan umayon sa military campaign sa Afghanistan. Ang E.U at Pwersa Alyad ay me sangkaps at snayevs at kaalaman militar a sophistikad at teknologikang maunlad. Ngunit mas utila nila ay armas pangmalyoan a mahirap tirahin pabalik, tulad ng mga matataas at mabibilis lipad ng B-52 bombers at F18 fighter jets, pag-ipon intelligence sa kaaway ng mga radar, satellite at spy planes, at nizkoordinate ng mga proxy intelligence comms/observres sa ground. Meron silang tahasang pwersa alyad sa ground ng Northern Aliance, nabuo ng iba’t-ibang etnik/relihyos/politikal grups, na marunong makilaban ng harapan, matapang at puno ng paghihiganti puh Taliban-Kontra Immortal ng mga Taliban. Binigyan din ng malaking suport ang E.U. ng Muslim mund, gya ng Saudi Arabia at Syria, bagamat di todo ang suport ayon sa kraniwang mamamayan, ayon sa polls nauna, ngunit marami nang napapakali sa pangyayari ngadias ngay higit sa kalahati ng Afghanistan na ang napasakamay ng Alyas Hiah, a kakaunti ne ang aerial bombardment, nakakamatay din ng inosent sibilyans. Ang pinakamalaking suport mul Muslim mund ay mul gobyern ni go. Musharraf. Imajin lang na kung wala ang suport ng gobyern Pakistan ni go. Musharraf. Mas malaki ang Gyer Kontra Terrorism. Marami ang Muslims sa mund, kabilang na ang Pakistanis sa Canada. Bagaman minorya lang sa populasyon nila ang talagang me sira ang bait o brainwashed para tigbakin ang lahat ng ariarian at lahing hind Muslim major a Kristians, Jews, o ibang relihyon, maski ibang Muslim sekts at turing di ‘dalisay’ Muslim, ay apektad parin ng bansa kunsan sila nagmula. Kasama narin ang reaksyon ng yibang Canadians, sa hindi sa sadya, ng tugon puh mga mulang-Pakistan at kaugnay a habla sa kanila.
Mul Canada, kunpano tayo naapektohan ng Gyer Kontra Terrorism, ng pagsanib ng gobyern Pakistan sa Pwersa Alya, ay dadapo tayo sa Pakistan. Ang Pakistan ay tinuturing Muslim bansa (dhil 97% Muslim ang populasyon), bansang me kapabilidad nuklyar (kasalukuyang me 50 nuklyar bombs), kunsan din maraming relihyos skwel ay nagiging butil ng islamik fundamentalism at extremism puh mund. Masasabing ang pinakamailap na trabajo sa mund ay kasalukuyang pwesto ni Musharraf, bilang di popular na lakan ng bansang lumikha sa Taliban at sa tradisyon ay ‘kaibigan’ ng mga Taliban. Ngunit, sa bihirang pagkakataong tto, umanib sya sa Pwersa Alyad simuno ng E.U. na sa tradisyon ay pinaka-demonyo at pinaka-kaaway ng Muslim mund, ayon sa extremist mullahs ng relihyos skwel. Ang pagkabansa ng Pakistan ay napundar din sa pagkaMuslim nila, kya nga sila humiwalay sa India na Hindus ay majoridad. Pero ang majoridad a praktis su Islam, ang Muslim, ay kultur a ‘naiwan’ sa p15 siglo kung susundan ang relihyos fatwah sa Sharia, a pinakapuristang batas Islamik, burda ng mga lalaking relihyos liders sa Saudi Arabia. Ang madlang Pakistanis, ay makaMuslim (bagamat sa tyakang antas ng pagkaMuslim ay sari-sari), kya sinundan nila ang mga turo ng pagiging porm ‘pure’ ng Islam. Ang ‘pure’ o ‘perfect’ Islam naito ay malupit at marahas ayon sa standard ng stilbuh ng malayang demokratik mund ngay. Kya di man sadya, ay di nagagampanan ng mas malayang isip at gawain ng parsua, a labag sa Sharia. Ayon sa fundamentalists, ang paglabag sa Sharia ay impluj ng mga makaKanluraning hagap dala ng E.U. na malaya, demokratik, at maexpresa, mas naipapahayag sa media. At sinumang makalabag sa Sharia, muslim ran e buh, ay ituturing ‘infidel’ o di-binyagan at dapat patayin ayon sa pangaral ng fundamentalists mag’Jihad’, a kahulogan ay ‘pagpupunyagi’, ay talagang naabusong tungkulin. Kung magwawagi ang paniwala ng fundamentalists na ang kinampihan ni Musharraf ay ang demon/infidel mismo, siguradong kamatayan ang sumpa sa buhay ni go. Musharraf ng mga extremists. Ngunit si go. Musharraf ay matapang, handang harapin ang mga hirap ng laban kontra kapwa Pakistanis, na me malapot at bumubulang poot laban sa kan, kahit man na masakit sa kanyang kalooban. Handa nyang irisg ang banta sa buhay nya, gulo mahati sa majoridad ngunit umid a suporters nya at sa minorya ngunit mas aktib a fundamentalists/extremists, makamtan lang ang panlimet kapia sa kinabukasan.
Mula kinakasuklam diktador militar hanggang savior at major alya ng Pwersa Alyad sa Gyer puh Terrorism, naabi sa U.N. bilang special at importanteng alya, marami si go. Musarraf nakamit, lalo sa ilang mga linggo naito. Una kumampi sya sa E.U. laban sa Terrorism, pinahiram nya ang air strips/air space ng Pakistan para sa mga military planes ng E.U., sinusugpo nya ang mga marahas na alkas ng mga fundamentalists kontra sa policies nya at sa pagkampi sa E.U. at pagkontra ke Bin Laden, a turing ‘dakilang tagapagtanggol ng Islam’ ikisa sa pagtayo ng mga armad pwersa seguridad ikontrol ang protests, lalo sa lalawigan Tiah-Hiah ng Pakistan malapit sa border sam Afghanistan. Pinadakip nya rin ilan sa mga lider ng mga extremists a nasakdal me ugnay sa Al Qaeda terrorists. Sa loob mismo ng organisa militar nya, ay tinanggal at sinipa ang ilang opisres militar, ksam din tatlong top henerals sangkop sa kanyang pagkapangulo, pinalitan ng mga tapat na opisres mas loyal sa mga kaaway ng Taliban. Pinalitan nya rin ang lider ng ISI (Inter-Service Intelligence ng Pakistan, katumbas CIA). Pinabakod din nya ng pwersa seguridad ang mga compound ng mga embahada at mga mosk, simbahan at mga pook ng samba par handang igiit ang mga busabos. At dahil ang Pakistan bilang bansa sa gobyern ni Musharraf ay kumampi sa E.U., naangat ang sanction sa Pakistan at mas giginhawa ang kalagayan ng kanyang mamamayan sa buommund; at sa pag-anib ng Pakistan sa E.U., nawalan ng politikal at military suport ang Taliban, at kadaong nito a Al Qaeda terrorists grup ni Bin Laden. Mula dito, apektad narin ang mga butil ng terrorism nakaugnay sa ehemplo ng Al Qaeda ng buommund. Ngay, huminhina at napapalya ne ang Taliban, at sukdolang mapipikot sila katugma pesteng dagang nalason sa sariling kasamaan nien sa halumkubkob ng Alya Hiah at Pwersa Alyad.
Sino ang bayani sa gyer naito? Ang bayani ay masasabing isang taong pinaglaban ang mga karapatan at kalayaan ng taongbayan sa gitna ng mga pagsubok, at paghihikahos, kahit na sariling buhay ay mataya. Ang dakilang bayani naman ay depende sa pagkadakila ng pagsubok, paghikahos at risg na hinharap at dadaigin. Kya kung me bayani tayong pwedeng madampot sa Gyer Kontra Terrorism naito, malinaw na isa narun ay si Hen. Pervez Musharraf. Dapat lang kahit paano’y bigyan natin sya ng kredit, at pasalamatan sya.

Ang pinakamalaking suport mul Muslim mund ay mul gobyern ni go. Musharraf. Imajin lang na kung wala ang suport ng gobyern Pakistan ni go. Musharraf. Mas malaki ang Gyer Kontra Terrorism. Marami ang Muslims sa mund, kabilang na ang Pakistanis sa Canada. Bagaman minorya lang sa populasyon nila ang talagang me sira ang bait o brainwashed para tigbakin ang lahat ng ariarian at lahing hind Muslim major a Kristians, Jews, o ibang relihyon, maski ibang Muslim sekts at turing di ‘dalisay’ Muslim, ay apektad parin ng bansa kunsan sila nagmula. Kasama narin ang reaksyon ng yibang Canadians, sa hindi sa sadya, ng tugon puh mga mulang-Pakistan at kaugnay a habla sa kanila.
Mul Canada, kunpano tayo naapektohan ng Gyer Kontra Terrorism, ng pagsanib ng gobyern Pakistan sa Pwersa Alya, ay dadapo tayo sa Pakistan. Ang Pakistan ay tinuturing Muslim bansa (dhil 97% Muslim ang populasyon), bansang me kapabilidad nuklyar (kasalukuyang me 50 nuklyar bombs), kunsan din maraming relihyos skwel ay nagiging butil ng islamik fundamentalism at extremism puh mund. Masasabing ang pinakamailap na trabajo sa mund ay kasalukuyang pwesto ni Musharraf, bilang di popular na lakan ng bansang lumikha sa Taliban at sa tradisyon ay ‘kaibigan’ ng mga Taliban. Ngunit, sa bihirang pagkakataong tto, umanib sya sa Pwersa Alyad simuno ng E.U. na sa tradisyon ay pinaka-demonyo at pinaka-kaaway ng Muslim mund, ayon sa extremist mullahs ng relihyos skwel. Ang pagkabansa ng Pakistan ay napundar din sa pagkaMuslim nila, kya nga sila humiwalay sa India na Hindus ay majoridad. Pero ang majoridad a praktis su Islam, ang Muslim, ay kultur a ‘naiwan’ sa p15 siglo kung susundan ang relihyos fatwah sa Sharia, a pinakapuristang batas Islamik, burda ng mga lalaking relihyos liders sa Saudi Arabia. Ang madlang Pakistanis, ay makaMuslim (bagamat sa tyakang antas ng pagkaMuslim ay sari-sari), kya sinundan nila ang mga turo ng pagiging porm ‘pure’ ng Islam. Ang ‘pure’ o ‘perfect’ Islam naito ay malupit at marahas ayon sa standard ng stilbuh ng malayang demokratik mund ngay. Kya di man sadya, ay di nagagampanan ng mas malayang isip at gawain ng parsua, a labag sa Sharia. Ayon sa fundamentalists, ang paglabag sa Sharia ay impluj ng mga makaKanluraning hagap dala ng E.U. na malaya, demokratik, at maexpresa, mas naipapahayag sa media. At sinumang makalabag sa Sharia, muslim ran e buh, ay ituturing ‘infidel’ o di-binyagan at dapat patayin ayon sa pangaral ng fundamentalists mag’Jihad’, a kahulogan ay ‘pagpupunyagi’, ay talagang naabusong tungkulin. Kung magwawagi ang paniwala ng fundamentalists na ang kinampihan ni Musharraf ay ang demon/infidel mismo, siguradong kamatayan ang sumpa sa buhay ni go. Musharraf ng mga extremists. Ngunit si go. Musharraf ay matapang, handang harapin ang mga hirap ng laban kontra kapwa Pakistanis, na me malapot at bumubulang poot laban sa kan, kahit man na masakit sa kanyang kalooban. Handa nyang irisg ang banta sa buhay nya, gulo mahati sa majoridad ngunit umid a suporters nya at sa minorya ngunit mas aktib a fundamentalists/extremists, makamtan lang ang panlimet kapia sa kinabukasan.
Mula kinakasuklam diktador militar hanggang savior at major alya ng Pwersa Alyad sa Gyer puh Terrorism, naabi sa U.N. bilang special at importanteng alya, marami si go. Musarraf nakamit, lalo sa ilang mga linggo naito. Una kumampi sya sa E.U. laban sa Terrorism, pinahiram nya ang air strips/air space ng Pakistan para sa mga military planes ng E.U., sinusugpo nya ang mga marahas na alkas ng mga fundamentalists kontra sa policies nya at sa pagkampi sa E.U. at pagkontra ke Bin Laden, a turing ‘dakilang tagapagtanggol ng Islam’ ikisa sa pagtayo ng mga armad pwersa seguridad ikontrol ang protests, lalo sa lalawigan Tiah-Hiah ng Pakistan malapit sa border sam Afghanistan. Pinadakip nya rin ilan sa mga lider ng mga extremists a nasakdal me ugnay sa Al Qaeda terrorists. Sa loob mismo ng organisa militar nya, ay tinanggal at sinipa ang ilang opisres militar, ksam din tatlong top henerals sangkop sa kanyang pagkapangulo, pinalitan ng mga tapat na opisres mas loyal sa mga kaaway ng Taliban. Pinalitan nya rin ang lider ng ISI (Inter-Service Intelligence ng Pakistan, katumbas CIA). Pinabakod din nya ng pwersa seguridad ang mga compound ng mga embahada at mga mosk, simbahan at mga pook ng samba par handang igiit ang mga busabos. At dahil ang Pakistan bilang bansa sa gobyern ni Musharraf ay kumampi sa E.U., naangat ang sanction sa Pakistan at mas giginhawa ang kalagayan ng kanyang mamamayan sa buommund; at sa pag-anib ng Pakistan sa E.U., nawalan ng politikal at military suport ang Taliban, at kadaong nito a Al Qaeda terrorists grup ni Bin Laden. Mula dito, apektad narin ang mga butil ng terrorism nakaugnay sa ehemplo ng Al Qaeda ng buommund. Ngay, huminhina at napapalya ne ang Taliban, at sukdolang mapipikot sila katugma pesteng dagang nalason sa sariling kasamaan nien sa halumkubkob ng Alya Hiah at Pwersa Alyad.
Sino ang bayani sa gyer naito? Ang bayani ay masasabing isang taong pinaglaban ang mga karapatan at kalayaan ng taongbayan sa gitna ng mga pagsubok, at paghihikahos, kahit na sariling buhay ay mataya. Ang dakilang bayani naman ay depende sa pagkadakila ng pagsubok, paghikahos at risg na hinharap at dadaigin. Kya kung me bayani tayong pwedeng madampot sa Gyer Kontra Terrorism naito, malinaw na isa narun ay si Hen. Pervez Musharraf. Dapat lang kahit paano’y bigyan natin sya ng kredit, at pasalamatan sya.
Why post-WTC whys?
September 23, 2001
Why post-WTC whys?
Why was the U.S attacked?
Why were four commercial planes loaded with innocent passengers hijacked and was crashed? Why three of these planes crashed into the world trade centre buildings and to Pentagon? Why destroy the buildings, which are the economic, military centres of U.S. National Icons/Interests? Why kill so many people? Why did people die while trying to contain the damage and save lives? Why happen just south of the border? Why were the Americans targeted? Why was America under attacked?
Why isn’t this the first attack on U.S. on ‘peace time’? Why were U.S. soldiers attacked, killed, and left naked in the mud during the ‘peace’ mission in Somalia, 1992? Why was the World Trade Center bombed, killing 6, and injuring more than a thousand in 1993? Why was a U.S. military training facility bombed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, killed five U.S. servicemen? Why was an apartment housing U.S. servicemen bombed in Saudi Arabia, killing at least 19 U.S. servicemen in 1996? Why was the U.S. embassies bombed in Kenya and Tanzania in which 224 people, including 12 Americans where killed, in 1998? Why was the U.S. naval destroyer U.S.S. Cole attacked by a explosives-loaded speedboat, killing 17 U.S. soldiers in Yemen, in 2000?
Why is the U.S. considered the most powerful nation on earth? Why is U.S a leading military (NATO), ecnomic (G7, WTO, APEC, NAFTA, OAS), political (UN), cultural (democracy, entertainment/hollywood, media), technological (NASA, Microsoft) power of the world? Why are these powers having an effect and controling our lives, at least to some degree? Why did the Philippines allow a U.S military base on its soil? Why do Japan, Saudi Arabia, Spain, and others have U.S. military base on their land? Why almost half of Canadian businesses are American-owned? Why is the U.S. allowed to break treaties-Kyoto Global Climate Change, and Anti-Ballistic Missile?
Why do some people look up to the U.S.? Why do some people envy the U.S.? Why are some people ignorant about U.S.? Why are some people afraid of the U.S. might? Why are some people hostile to U.S. policies? Why do some people hate the U.S.? Why do some people want to destroy the U.S.? Why are some people so extremely radical, will do anything in their twisted mind to cause mass fear through terrorism, and mass murder of innocent American lives?
Why are the anti-U.S. terrorist suspects/criminals almost exclusively Middle-Eastern/Arabian, Muslims/Islamic? Why are these radical ‘Muslims’ sacrificing their lives to kill the ‘enemies of Allah’, radically believing they’re gonna be heroes, martyrs and will have a higher staion in ‘paradise’. Why are they cowards, cruel, sadists, babaric, killing innocent and defeceless lives? Why are they always declaring Jihad (holy war) against every simple element of non-traditional/primitive Muslim men-made laws (sharia)? Why is it ‘holy’ to murder innocent lives? Why are they above the law, above human rights and freedom? Why are they making themselves gods, which is against Allah, while treating their own people like dirt and scum? Why are most people in anti-U.S. protests in Pakistan and fghanistan, men? Why were the Palestinians happy, celebrating, and jumping with joy in the streets when they heard about the miserable disaster of the World Trade Center attack and thousands of innocent lives lost? Why do they have to be so different, in a bad and evil way? Why is there something terribly wrong with these people? Why are they desensitized by their everyday miseries, are more desensitized by the miseries of the Americans?
Why is Islam a religion of tolerance? Why was it written in the koran, “if you kill one soul, you kill all of humanity?” Why was it written in the koran with Mohammad the prophet’s words, “who ever persecute the dhimmi (non-Muslims) can assure that I’ll be his persecutor before Allah”? Why are the Muslims tolerating violence, ill-treatment, especially against non-Muslims, especially in a Muslim majority countries? Why was the pre-Islamic 15th century Bamiyan Giant Buddhas, sacred to the Buddhists, in Afghanistan blasted to rubbles and dusts? Why is that most conflicts in the world have Muslim-connections, or Muslim-initiated? Why do the Muslims want independence if they are minorities in a nation? Why do they declare war (Jihad), and take over the other part if they are at least half of the population in a territory? Why do they fight fellow Muslims to prove that they are better Muslims than other Muslims in Afghanistan (Taliban Pushtun Muslims vs United Front Tajik Muslims), in Middle East (Iraqi Sunni Muslims vs Iranian Shiite Muslims), South Asia (Pakistani Muslims vs Bangladeshi Muslims)?
Why does president Bush have fallacies? Why did he declare the 1st war of the 21st century? Why is he trying to fight the invisible/ghosts? Why is it that terrorists are already within America? Why did he say “Either you’re with us, or with the terrorists”? Why does that sound like “it’s my way or the high-way?” Why did Bush say “Mexico is U.S. best friend” just before the WTC attack, and then just a couple of days ago, September 20, in an address of joint session of Congress in Washington he said “America has no truer friend than Great Britain”? Why does he have so many ‘best’ friends? Why didn’t he mention Canada (no thanks) a single bit in his speech? Why didn’t he appreciate Canada’s support and help in the crisis? Why was Canada taken for granted?
Why does the terrorist only understand the language of Terror? Why do we have to respond in the only language that they want to understand, which is WAR? Why do we beat the enemy by becoming the enemy? Why are we contributing 12 to 18 CF18 Fighter-Bombers, 350 Joint Task Force 2 commandos, 2 naval battle groups with frigates, destroyers, and subs, an air-transport squadron, an army brigade of 6000 troops, with three battalions of infantry, an armoured regiment, artillery, engineers, signals, and other services? Why do we have to choose sides? Why are we so divided on this issue? Why is there a rush for war? Why can’t we choose peace?
Why is Islam being slapped on the face? Why are Muslims being beaten-up and harassed all across North America and around the world? Why is this happening in Scarborough? Why is this happening in Canada? Why do I have Muslim co-workers and classmates? Why do I have a Palestinian friend? Why do I have a co-worker ‘joking’ that he is a relative of Osama Bin Laden? Why is this not funny? Why are there innocent Muslims? Why are there good Muslims? Why are the good Muslims suffering from guilt and backlash? Why don’t the good Muslims speak out, and do something about the wrong-doings of their fellow ‘Muslims’, more? Why are the good Muslims losing ground? Why was the Oklahoma bombing initially blamed on Muslims and Arabs? Why is Timothy McVeigh, the one who bombed the Oklahoma federal building in 1995, killing 168 people, including 17 children, a White ‘Catholic’ Man? Why are we all victims of these terrorism? Why are Mosques, arab/muslim owned businesses/houses firegunned, firebombed, sabotaged? Why are Hindu and Sikh temples fire-bombed, without being connected with the attack? Why are the Hindus and Sikhs wrongly blamed for the terrorist WTC attack? Why are entire race and religion being blamed for these atrocities? Why are hate-mongers on the rise, taking full advantage of the messy situation to cause incite troubles than there already are? Why are the police and guarding the Mosques, Muslim place of worship for security? Why is there a threat on a place of worship?
Why is Canada a luxurious club for terrorists and criminals? Why is Canada lax on illigal/criminal immigrants? Why are they not caught and brought to justice or deported? Why was Canada used as one of the staging-grounds for terrorist attacks against the U.S.?
Why do people become superstitious about these events? Why do some people believe in Nostradamus’ prophesies (of doom)? Why are people demonizing/worshipping Nostradamus? Why are Nostradamus’ propesies ‘happen’ half the time? Why are the prophesies ambiguous? Why are some people so gullible? Why is the End of the World so intriguing? Why worry about The END? Why are some people pessimistic? Why don’t we just trust God, be good, enjoy life and live it to the fullest?
Why is terrorism also a reality everyday around the world? Why does the U.S. WTC attack have the biggest media coverage? Why are we so glued to the live TV news broadcasts of the events? Why are we expecting more to come? Why are we fascinated with what the U.S. will want to do next? Why are we interested in knowing how U.S. power and leadership will influence the upcoming ‘actions’? Why is Canada an important and effective ally and follower? Why is war a great possibility? Why can there be casaulties of War? Why are we afraid, sad to be separated from our love ones by war?
Why do we pity the children? Why did our kids lose their innocence just knowing that terrible things happen, and the world is an extremely more dangerous place to live in? Why is the economy slumping down? Why do we worry about job loss? Why do we worry about the next promotion, when someone around the world is worrying where to get next bite of food to eat? Why is our world not the same anymore?
Why do I have to excel in school? Why do I have to work hard? Why do I have to love myself? Why do I love my family? Why are friends so dear to me? Why do I care about people? Why am I still searching? Why don ’t I have more time? Why am I so busy? Why do I have my own business to take care of Why do I sometimes fail?
Why do I have high hope for the future? Why do I pray for peace and prosperity? Why do I pray “God have mercy on us all” ?
Why?

Matthew 28:16-20 (The Commissioning of the Disciples)
16. Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.
17. When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted.
18. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
19. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20. And teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always to the end of age, (Amen).”
Matthew 18:21-22 (Forgiveness)
21. Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, if another member of the church sins against me, how often should I forgive? As many as seven times?”
22. Jesus said to him, “Not seven times, but, I tell you, seventy-seven times.”

Ulirang Daigdig ng Islam ang hangad ng Abu Sayyaf- Krimemund o Hellmund?
Ago 15, 2001
Ah… Daigdig ng Islam, ang mundo a sumasamba ke Allah laeng ayon sa Koran, kunsan ang lahat ng tao ay paraya, pantay, makapia, at kontent…
An-ayo isipin.
Pwed kaya mkamtan ang uliraning mundo naito?
Isagiksik, iharaya kanilang hinahangad tungong realidad. Liban sa modera, liberal o sekular sambayanang Muslims su praktis tulad ng Turkey at Egypt, ang hagap Islam pinapangaral ng Islamik Fundamentalists/Extremists/Terrorists katulad ng Abu Sayyaf grup ay agsunod:
1. Kunsan lahat ng tao ay paraya?
Nung nakuha ang punonglungsod ng Silangangang Imperyo Roman (Byzantine), ang Constantinople, ng Seljuk Turks nuong 1453, binagu ang ngalan nito sa Istanbul, marami sa mga iglesia at kathedral, kabilang ne ang Basilica Hogia Sofia ay sapilitang ginawang Mosques. Ang Krusadres natalo’y naging mga alipin, ang ibang Kristians nuon ma’y naging kapantay at respetad ng ibang relihyon, at ng kapwa mamamayan Muslims ay natrato bilang p-2 klas mamamayans. Tas, sinara ng Turks ang raanan pamamgitan ng Banalluph ng Jerusalem o Palestinia puh Kristians. Sa ngay, ang nmumuno a gobyern Afghanistan, ang Talibans, sa kanilang radikal fatwah, pinasabog ang pre-Islam eg-15 siglo gulang ‘Bamiyan Giant Buddhas’ sagrad puh Buddhists, kahit suo samos ng internasyonal komunidads ihalil o ibili nalng ang reliks, kundi bilang me reliyos erehiya o signifikasyon ‘anti-Allah’, ay koleksyon ng sining. Par Taliban, labag ke Allah ang anumang abubot sining, gandang likha ng tao, di tinatamo na ang likhang heto’y maaring naging sigya ng Dyo/Allah. At is pe kanilang kukuen par non-Muslims, gust ipasampay ng kilalanplak par pagkilalnen, kapara nu nipaslang ng Nazis puh Jews nuong WWII. Tto’y paglikha ng dumot at poot laban numan iba mul nturing ‘Muslim’ ng mga Taliban Muslims. Ang pagpataw ng makalumang Islamik batas a ‘sharia’ (a nlikha ng tao) puh Muslim lang ay is pe mlupit na pagpiit sa mga munting buhay ng mga ‘nagkakamali’, ‘nagkakasalang’ tao. Halim ng mga parusa ay pagputol sa daliri ng nagnakaw (ng tinapay dahil gutom?), pagputol ng dila ng nagsinungaling, ng kumanta, pagputol ng ‘are’ ng mga nanggahasang lalaki (pakay tanggalan ng rangal pagkalalaki), pugot sa taong pumatay o malala ang kaso (madugong-madugo). Ang mga parusa nama’y talagang grabe, pinagrabe pang itanghal sa masa ‘live’ bilang libangan para takotin, bigyan psychologikal phobia, neckromania, sadism ang mga nanood na sakaling sila rin ang maaaring maparusahan ng gayun. Ang musik at kanta batid ay di makaDyo, mistulang nakakatangay heto ng focus ke Allah, ay pinagbabawal. Minsan, namamanhid na sila sa gantong malupit, makitid na pamumuhay. Di mtolera ng mga extremist ang mga taong nagkakasala, at ang parusa naman ay talagang para idusa ang naiiba sa paniwala, sa stilo ng buhay o sa simpleng imperfeksyon o hindlubsen ng nilalang tao.
2. Kunsan lahat ng tao ay pantay?
Ang kababaihan ay laging me taklob se buok ng hijab, o pati mukha, mul ulo hangg kikits, kahit tanging galiet balintataw a mailap ikita’y ang pinapakita ng silip, para ‘di matukso ang kalalakihan’ ng mapangtuksong mga babae. Pagpakita ng mukha o braso ng babae ay sala labag sa Koran ayon sa mga lalaki. Ngara’y ang babae ang simuno ng sala at kasamaan ng mundo. Mga lalaki ay palagayang maestros nila, masusunod ng llansey puh kanilang biag parrng mga alipin, pinanganak par magsilbi sa mas superior na gender. Ang halim ukol nasungdong kasal, juven seng bata tulad 9 anos kinakalakal parrng gamit. Is bana pwed magkron higit is mimyo par ilaru samantal mimyos nhyon ay kelangan magsilbi llan-swa puh is bana, a di nanghulgan mahal nila, o bana naito ay maging tapat. Syemp kun hind-paraya ay hind-pantay. Ang nonMuslims tinuturi inferior kumpar puh Muslims, lu ‘spiritualidad’. Ang spiritual puh mama baben pagkron mahabang balbas at buok, par babae, magtaklob, maging alipin at mangmang, di peg-kain ng pork kundi non-pork halal karne, an-dem bawal, kaya sinuman di spiritual ay labag sa mga turo ng Koran, ayon sa lalaking Muslim. Ang pagiging spiritual ay pagiging pantay, pantayan na sang-ayon sa caste system.
3. Kunsan lahat ng tao ay makapia?
Iraq (Sunni Muslims) gyer laban Iran (Shiite Muslims) par ipayabang sino mas malakas kontra sa iba sa ngalan ni Allah. Iraq sinakop ang Kuwait par saganang oil panagkuhs. Taliban (Pushtun Muslims) gyer laban United Front (Tajik Muslims) su Afghanistan par Islamik supremacy, Kurds aklas laban Turks par bayan at srinlanen, Islamik grups laban sekular Gobyern ng Egypt at reform gobyern ni Khatami laban Islamik Konserbativs su Iran, Pakistani Muslims gyer laban Bangladeshi Muslims par teritoryal grab, tas humiwalay mul India, ngay gust buomKashmir mapa-kanila’y sumiklab ddal digma dahil dito, at par extremists sa kanila, buommund narin, Tausog Muslims alit Badjao Muslims par etnikal tutolen, atbp… Kahit kapwa muslims, di parin magkasundo, di parin mkontent, di parin sapat maging parejo ang relihyon kundi kunsino mas Muslim sa ngalan ni Allah. At kung sino mas Muslim ay iaangkin di-angkop ang sagrad tungkolin Jihad ipalaganap Islam sa numan pran maer. Kundi mapasampalatayang mapayapa ay iraraan sa mas uso sa pagdanakdugo, patayan, siraan ang ‘kaaways ni Allah’ (maski ang ‘kaaways ni Allah’ ay naiibang Muslims), bale-lla sa proses ang mamatay, masabi lang martyr sila ng mga taong gusto sila’y pumatay at mamatay, at sa mundo ng kamatayan sila’y dakila. (Ang pika-halim nito’y mga suicide bomber ng Palestinian fanatiks, pinapairal ng Hamas lakans). Nangahulgan a Muslim vs Muslim, llannaiba mul Muslim vs nonMuslim, Muslim mund vs nonMuslim mund, o mas tumpak tumbas ay Muslim vs buom-universe. Llankapia talg kundi lipana’y gera at alitan, parrng kaiba pasya’y hwag na maging Muslim.
Kung ngay palng ay di nangayari pangako ng relihyos, fundamentalist Muslims, maski creng Muslims at pinapagrabe pe kontra produktib, paraya, makapia, humane lipunan baben wasakin ang mga ariarian patayin ang buhay, ipagdusa ang taos. Sino ba ang me gusto neto? Walang malaya, mapagmahal na tao ang aamo sa karahasan ng terrorists. Kung gusto ng Abu Sayyaf mapasakanila, mapasampalataya nila ang tao, maging mabuti at masunoding Muslims, kelangan nila magsilbi par taos, lingkodan ang taos, maging mabait katulong ni Allah bilang mabuting halim par parsuaen. Ba’t di sila magpakapia puh mundo sa ngalan ni Allah, di bilang asal bangising, devilish beasts par takotin, ikatakot, ikadiri ng taos. Per su tigasing-ulo ng mga hardline netong brainwashed radikals, di ata maer mabagu kanilang insanidads, o kukuen a di ayon sa Koran (ayon sa kanilang irrasyonal pagsalinwika at explikasyon). Nalimotan na ba nila ang mabuting aral a salita ni propet Mohammad, puriin kanyang ngalan, a “sinuman s’inyo mansiil ng dhimmi (nonMuslims) ay haharap sakin, ako mismo bilang taga-usig pia ni Allah.” Ang piek-sikat pabati ng mga Muslim ay ‘salamaykum’-ibig sabihin ay “Ang kapayapaan ay sumasaiyo” o komun tumbas satin ay “hello” o “kamusta”. Pero tandaan na nag-uugat ang bati sa kapia. Kung mahalaga ang kapayapaan sa Muslim at sinasagawang palatandaan sa bawt enkwentro sa kapwa tao na maging makapia, ba’t ang mga Fundamentalists ay karaniwang nakiki-away, nakikigyer sa kapwa tao? Nangahulgan lang na ang kapia ay par lang sa kapwa Muslims ng Abu Sayyaf, o ang ‘Salamaykum’ sa kanila’y me baluktot na kahulogan tumbas “sumaiyo ang kapayapaan kapag napaamo na kita o pinatay na kita”. Kung gayon nga, pano nila maaakit ang ibayong relihyon kung sila naman ang ayaw makibati ng mpayapa, o kung sila’y magiging walang kwentang sinumang mga busabos?
Unawain ang Abu Sayyaf nheto ay Pilipinos, Muslim Pilipinos, di Muslim dyuhans, a madalas turi sa kanila ng Pilipinos sa labas ng Mindanao, mas ndumot ng Manillanes, ng mga tagalungsod, nakakalayo hinggil sa physikal agwat, kapus-lakbay kareng kanila, kunot ng media at relihyon sa kanila. Sila’y Pilipino utols ng Kristian Pilipinos at ng ibang mga pangkat Pilipino ng Mundo, saklob maski sa Maynilad, sa Quiapo a me tanyag Muslim Pilipino komunidad. Ialel umuna pa sa dating ng Espanols nuong 1521, ang pulua Pilipinas ay meron na maunlad na kabihasnan ang natibong Pilipino, kabilang na ang sultana, kahariang me namumunong sultan o rajah na titul sa lakan Muslim. Halim ne’y ang Harhen ni rajah Soliman e Maynilad. Si Rajah Soliman, a kapanahon din nina Lakan Dula at Panday Pira, ay lumaban ng magiting hanggang sya’y nasawi ng mas modern a armad Espanol kaaways. Si rajah Soliman ay huling hari ng Maynilad, naging bayani sa puso ng mga Pilipino. Ngunit inilay, si rajah Soliman ay hari ng kahariang Maynilad, pawang ninuno, sinaunanan ng mga Tagalog, at isang dakilang bayani, ay Muslim. Anupa’y ang subjects ng kanayang kaharihan ay makarami’y Muslim mamamayan din. tto’y fact ayon sa histori. Kung gayo’y, noong una, mga Muslim ang marami satin, bago, sumuko sa bagong major relihyon Kristianidad. Datapwa ilan, ding hindbinyagang Kristian ang Muslim utols-nanatili sa relihyon pinasa sa kanila ng ating dakilang rajah Soliman. Ngayon din ang ating Muslim utols ay naninirahan sating paligid sa Maynilad, sa Quiapo, sa Tondo, sa kabahayan, bilang mga mamamayang Pilipino, maugma ne kahit nuonpang panahon ni rajah Soliman. Silay tulad din ng panlahatang Pilipino na me nais ng makapia a biag. Gyon din ang ating Muslim utols sa mga lalawigan, lu sa timogkanluraning Mindanao. Ang susi sa kandado ng kareng-satin ay intindihin ang ating kabahayan, kabayan, ang Muslim utols, kasama narin ang yibang me naibang palataya at bigyan pantay na pagmamahal bilang kapwa Pilipino.
Kung ang Muslims ay kapwa ng nonMuslim Pilipinos, nune ang Abu Sayyaf?
Ang Abu Sayyaf grup ay umusbong mul rem magulong aspekts ng lipunan, ingal ilan heto’y mabuway na politika, mahalayang gobyerno, putikang ekonomya, at lu ne sa dipag-unawa sa etnik grups ng mga lalawigan, hikahos ng mga magsasaka (tagabundok), na naging komunists, impluj ng Islamik Revolusyon/Fundamentalism/Terrorism sa labas ng bansa, at mana mul himagsik ng grup MNLF, tas MILF. Lahat ng masamang elements o ditrung ng lipunan ay nranasan, ntiis, pilitang siniksik sa kanilang luob at pamumuhay, sa tulong ng mga makadigma, makaterror na turo ng mga alagad laban sa ‘tyranny’ sangkot galing ibang bansa at sa madugong pakikilaban ng Muslims rumaan histori, pinalabis at pinarahas ang ditrung para ipagganting lugoran at lamang, ay biglangsabog samsaglit sila’y nagalit kasama naring nbaliw sa lipunan, isisi to, lu ne ang mga di tulad nilang hindbinyagang Muslim. Ang pika-impluj sa kanilang buhay ay relihyon. Sadyang pinagsamantalahan, ginamit ang kanilang pinaniniwala, pinagkakatiwalaang Islam bilang relihyon na dapat nilang gampanan reliyos isakdal ang mga anti-Islam at lahat ng nonMuslims, mga demonyong salot sa kanilang buhay maging lubos. Heto’y mga pangaral makapoot ng mulitant kleriks at zealots, sa relihyon nila sila’y tama lagi sa lahat ng bagay, at iba’y mali na dapt tikbakin parang bangaw, kahit man mabuwis din ang ibang Muslims na ayon sa kanila ay di gaanong Muslim, o sakripis par mas lwalhating kamatayan.
Ang Abu Sayyaf ay mga Pilipinong Muslim na mga tulisan, mga rebel, mga terrorist, at talagang mga kriminal. Ngunit dahil sa kanilang pagkakriminal, di sila hwarang Pilipino o Muslim. Sila’y Kriminal di dahil sila’y ‘Muslim’ (o inaakala nila sila’y Muslim), kundi dahil sila’y gumawa ng karumaldumal krimes, lumabag sa batas ng bansa, at humanidad. Marami na ang kanilang napinsala sa bansa, sa lipunan. Marami na ang nawalan ng pamumuhay, ng minamahal, ng buhay. Marami na ang naapekt, nabiktim na mga gamus na tao at nagdurusa sa krime at kasamaan nila. Ilan lang sa nasakdal sa kanila ay pag-ari ng illegal sandats, pagterror, pagdakip, pagnakaw, pagsira, pagtorture, at pagpatay. Heto ba ang mga gawain ng isang ‘ulirang Muslim’ pia-ehemplo Abu Sayyaf? Heto ba ang mga gawain par magkron ulirang daigdig ng Islam na hinahangad nila? Hinding-hindi. Ang tipong aktibidads halim nila sa masa at buommund ay talagang par maging krimemund ang daigdig nagsisimula sa kanilang sariling di nilulutas na suliranin, o di nalalayo sa landas ng hell se daigdig. Taliwas sa kanilang pag-akala na ang sinumang pumatay sa ngal ni Allah kung namatay ay diretso sa parais ni Allah, ay talagang agad mahuhulog kanilang nagdurusang kalulwah sa Impyerno simula palang sa lupa, kung nahuli sila ng buhay. Ang mga duwag, madalas mangmang, malahayup na kawawang Abu Sayyaf ay mapaparusahan din, ng alagad ng batas sa lupa o panaw-buhay ke Allah. Ilan na ang naging masaklap na halimbawa. Susunod pa ang ibang nabubulok na natira. Nagtutulongan ang gobyern hukbo, bayan militia, lokal parak, at vigilant mamamayn par ihuli o isugpo ang Abu Sayyaf membres parang pesteng daga mapigil ang lagim neto. Maraming-salamat sa ragasa ng mga alagad ng batas at spirit ng malayang fus parsua, di magwawagi ang Abu Sayyaf kriminals dito o maging sa kabilang buhay. Katarungan at Kapayapaan ay manunumbalik sukdolan.

(Ang pika-halim nito’y mga suicide bomber ng Palestinian fanatiks, pinapairal ng Hamas lakans). Nangahulgan a Muslim vs Muslim, llannaiba mul Muslim vs nonMuslim, Muslim mund vs nonMuslim mund, o mas tumpak tumbas ay Muslim vs buom-universe. Llankapia talg kundi lipana’y gera at alitan, parrng kaiba pasya’y hwag na maging Muslim.
Kung ngay palng ay di nangayari pangako ng relihyos, fundamentalist Muslims, maski creng Muslims at pinapagrabe pe kontra produktib, paraya, makapia, humane lipunan baben wasakin ang mga ariarian patayin ang buhay, ipagdusa ang taos. Sino ba ang me gusto neto? Walang malaya, mapagmahal na tao ang aamo sa karahasan ng terrorists. Kung gusto ng Abu Sayyaf mapasakanila, mapasampalataya nila ang tao, maging mabuti at masunoding Muslims, kelangan nila magsilbi par taos, lingkodan ang taos, maging mabait katulong ni Allah bilang mabuting halim par parsuaen. Ba’t di sila magpakapia puh mundo sa ngalan ni Allah, di bilang asal bangising, devilish beasts par takotin, ikatakot, ikadiri ng taos. Per su tigasing-ulo ng mga hardline netong brainwashed radikals, di ata maer mabagu kanilang insanidads, o kukuen a di ayon sa Koran (ayon sa kanilang irrasyonal pagsalinwika at explikasyon). Nalimotan na ba nila ang mabuting aral a salita ni propet Mohammad, puriin kanyang ngalan, a “sinuman s’inyo mansiil ng dhimmi (nonMuslims) ay haharap sakin, ako mismo bilang taga-usig pia ni Allah.” Ang piek-sikat pabati ng mga Muslim ay ‘salamaykum’-ibig sabihin ay “Ang kapayapaan ay sumasaiyo” o komun tumbas satin ay “hello” o “kamusta”. Pero tandaan na nag-uugat ang bati sa kapia. Kung mahalaga ang kapayapaan sa Muslim at sinasagawang palatandaan sa bawt enkwentro sa kapwa tao na maging makapia, ba’t ang mga Fundamentalists ay karaniwang nakiki-away, nakikigyer sa kapwa tao? Nangahulgan lang na ang kapia ay par lang sa kapwa Muslims ng Abu Sayyaf, o ang ‘Salamaykum’ sa kanila’y me baluktot na kahulogan tumbas “sumaiyo ang kapayapaan kapag napaamo na kita o pinatay na kita”. Kung gayon nga, pano nila maaakit ang ibayong relihyon kung sila naman ang ayaw makibati ng mpayapa, o kung sila’y magiging walang kwentang sinumang mga busabos?
Unawain ang Abu Sayyaf nheto ay Pilipinos, Muslim Pilipinos, di Muslim dyuhans, a madalas turi sa kanila ng Pilipinos sa labas ng Mindanao, mas ndumot ng Manillanes, ng mga tagalungsod, nakakalayo hinggil sa physikal agwat, kapus-lakbay kareng kanila, kunot ng media at relihyon sa kanila. Sila’y Pilipino utols ng Kristian Pilipinos at ng ibang mga pangkat Pilipino ng Mundo, saklob maski sa Maynilad, sa Quiapo a me tanyag Muslim Pilipino komunidad. Ialel umuna pa sa dating ng Espanols nuong 1521, ang pulua Pilipinas ay meron na maunlad na kabihasnan ang natibong Pilipino, kabilang na ang sultana, kahariang me namumunong sultan o rajah na titul sa lakan Muslim. Halim ne’y ang Harhen ni rajah Soliman e Maynilad. Si Rajah Soliman, a kapanahon din nina Lakan Dula at Panday Pira, ay lumaban ng magiting hanggang sya’y nasawi ng mas modern a armad Espanol kaaways. Si rajah Soliman ay huling hari ng Maynilad, naging bayani sa puso ng mga Pilipino. Ngunit inilay, si rajah Soliman ay hari ng kahariang Maynilad, pawang ninuno, sinaunanan ng mga Tagalog, at isang dakilang bayani, ay Muslim. Anupa’y ang subjects ng kanayang kaharihan ay makarami’y Muslim mamamayan din. tto’y fact ayon sa histori. Kung gayo’y, noong una, mga Muslim ang marami satin, bago, sumuko sa bagong major relihyon Kristianidad. Datapwa ilan, ding hindbinyagang Kristian ang Muslim utols-nanatili sa relihyon pinasa sa kanila ng ating dakilang rajah Soliman. Ngayon din ang ating Muslim utols ay naninirahan sating paligid sa Maynilad, sa Quiapo, sa Tondo, sa kabahayan, bilang mga mamamayang Pilipino, maugma ne kahit nuonpang panahon ni rajah Soliman. Silay tulad din ng panlahatang Pilipino na me nais ng makapia a biag. Gyon din ang ating Muslim utols sa mga lalawigan, lu sa timogkanluraning Mindanao. Ang susi sa kandado ng kareng-satin ay intindihin ang ating kabahayan, kabayan, ang Muslim utols, kasama narin ang yibang me naibang palataya at bigyan pantay na pagmamahal bilang kapwa Pilipino.
Kung ang Muslims ay kapwa ng nonMuslim Pilipinos, nune ang Abu Sayyaf?
Ang Abu Sayyaf grup ay umusbong mul rem magulong aspekts ng lipunan, ingal ilan heto’y mabuway na politika, mahalayang gobyerno, putikang ekonomya, at lu ne sa dipag-unawa sa etnik grups ng mga lalawigan, hikahos ng mga magsasaka (tagabundok), na naging komunists, impluj ng Islamik Revolusyon/Fundamentalism/Terrorism sa labas ng bansa, at mana mul himagsik ng grup MNLF, tas MILF. Lahat ng masamang elements o ditrung ng lipunan ay nranasan, ntiis, pilitang siniksik sa kanilang luob at pamumuhay, sa tulong ng mga makadigma, makaterror na turo ng mga alagad laban sa ‘tyranny’ sangkot galing ibang bansa at sa madugong pakikilaban ng Muslims rumaan histori, pinalabis at pinarahas ang ditrung para ipagganting lugoran at lamang, ay biglangsabog samsaglit sila’y nagalit kasama naring nbaliw sa lipunan, isisi to, lu ne ang mga di tulad nilang hindbinyagang Muslim. Ang pika-impluj sa kanilang buhay ay relihyon. Sadyang pinagsamantalahan, ginamit ang kanilang pinaniniwala, pinagkakatiwalaang Islam bilang relihyon na dapat nilang gampanan reliyos isakdal ang mga anti-Islam at lahat ng nonMuslims, mga demonyong salot sa kanilang buhay maging lubos. Heto’y mga pangaral makapoot ng mulitant kleriks at zealots, sa relihyon nila sila’y tama lagi sa lahat ng bagay, at iba’y mali na dapt tikbakin parang bangaw, kahit man mabuwis din ang ibang Muslims na ayon sa kanila ay di gaanong Muslim, o sakripis par mas lwalhating kamatayan.
Ang Abu Sayyaf ay mga Pilipinong Muslim na mga tulisan, mga rebel, mga terrorist, at talagang mga kriminal. Ngunit dahil sa kanilang pagkakriminal, di sila hwarang Pilipino o Muslim. Sila’y Kriminal di dahil sila’y ‘Muslim’ (o inaakala nila sila’y Muslim), kundi dahil sila’y gumawa ng karumaldumal krimes, lumabag sa batas ng bansa, at humanidad. Marami na ang kanilang napinsala sa bansa, sa lipunan. Marami na ang nawalan ng pamumuhay, ng minamahal, ng buhay. Marami na ang naapekt, nabiktim na mga gamus na tao at nagdurusa sa krime at kasamaan nila. Ilan lang sa nasakdal sa kanila ay pag-ari ng illegal sandats, pagterror, pagdakip, pagnakaw, pagsira, pagtorture, at pagpatay. Heto ba ang mga gawain ng isang ‘ulirang Muslim’ pia-ehemplo Abu Sayyaf? Heto ba ang mga gawain par magkron ulirang daigdig ng Islam na hinahangad nila? Hinding-hindi. Ang tipong aktibidads halim nila sa masa at buommund ay talagang par maging krimemund ang daigdig nagsisimula sa kanilang sariling di nilulutas na suliranin, o di nalalayo sa landas ng hell se daigdig. Taliwas sa kanilang pag-akala na ang sinumang pumatay sa ngal ni Allah kung namatay ay diretso sa parais ni Allah, ay talagang agad mahuhulog kanilang nagdurusang kalulwah sa Impyerno simula palang sa lupa, kung nahuli sila ng buhay. Ang mga duwag, madalas mangmang, malahayup na kawawang Abu Sayyaf ay mapaparusahan din, ng alagad ng batas sa lupa o panaw-buhay ke Allah. Ilan na ang naging masaklap na halimbawa. Susunod pa ang ibang nabubulok na natira. Nagtutulongan ang gobyern hukbo, bayan militia, lokal parak, at vigilant mamamayn par ihuli o isugpo ang Abu Sayyaf membres parang pesteng daga mapigil ang lagim neto. Maraming-salamat sa ragasa ng mga alagad ng batas at spirit ng malayang fus parsua, di magwawagi ang Abu Sayyaf kriminals dito o maging sa kabilang buhay. Katarungan at Kapayapaan ay manunumbalik sukdolan.
