Today is National Heroes Day, a very appropriate day for the Filipino to gather and let our voices be heard.
I joined the event, though I am alone I never felt like one while standing and roaming around the Luneta Park listening to different groups discussion, and observing them.

While standing there, I proved these two things to myself.

• The Social Media is very powerful, and the march proved that we, normal Filipino citizen who spend hours sharing our ideas and selfies on social media is walking our talk and standing on our decisions and opinions about abolishing that stinky Pork Barrel. This march proved everyone that the people on social media is serious about fighting this long-history of pork barrel corruption and the government should take this seriously.
  
• Filipino loves it country, and this movement to cleanse the system is one proof of that. I often heard that other country said that we lack nationalism, and I am proud to say that you are wrong, we do love it and this proves our passion to change the corrupt government. The lack of nationalism is an effect of the lack of trust that the Filipino's have to our government. 

I have to admit that I don't really trust rallies or anything like this because I do know that masses can be paid. Those political rallies before where they shout and carry large signs, half of the people there are paid a hundred or two just to shout, so i don't they have credibilities but I don't blame the peole who got paid there because for them, it is a job and a mean for them to fed their families.

Standing their and looking at families, group of friends, students and different organizations makes me feel the unity of the people in full sincerity. I am not paid to go there, wear white and listen but I went because I know in some way I am making a difference, and the people whom I meet also feels like that. 

I didn't finished the whole rally, and went home early because I needed to ran some errands, but I also felt proud when they said that the park is litter-free after the event. I am happy because it also shows the normal people accountability and it is different from the normal news of litter-everywhere (because of the paid rallies >.<)

I feel happy and proud that I joined this, and I keep supporting the change the we wanted to see not only because I am a tax-payer (but that played a big part) but I also wanted to see a better place for my sister and the future Filipino's.

So at the end of my day, what does this march means?

I think aside from cleansing the government, and serve us what we deserve (because the money is ours in the first place), this march means that everyone is united to make the right change and a wake up call to the government who promises to obey it's bosses command. It means that the silence and patience we give to them has reached it's limit and today, we demand to seek the truth and received what we deserved.

I didnt finished the event but I spent so much time on social media and wanted to share my opinions on some popular question/reactions:

Do I want President Aquino to resign? Why?

 - No. If he will resign, who will take his position? Another corrupt government official, I am tired with that process, let's end it please. I do actually love that this will be cleanse under the Aquino government because it do came from his own mouth that we are his boss, we will fight the corruption, we will make sure that those who do wrong things will be punished and I am waiting for him to stand on his slogan 'Daan na matuwid'. I do think that the worse thing it can happen to a person is bite back what he had said, and the public will knows it.

What can I say to those who wanted the Snap Election?

- Dear countrymen, we are in a democratic country, and mostly the people who are shouting this are the same people who put him into this position. And again, if we will have a snap election, who will take his seat? Does that person will really support our cause? I don't think so. Let's just asked the government to do what they had promised.

What can I say to Aggabao statement "PDAF is not for them. It is for the class, the dirt poor"

- We do know that, and that is not the reason why we went to Luneta. We go there because we wanted the stinky pork barrel to be scrapped and ensure that the taxes we pay goes directly to the social services that is intended to our countrymen who needs it most. I don't think he understand the feeling of seeing your payslip get deducted for thousands of your hard-earned money and watched on media that these money didnt help your countrymen but let the people in the government buy mansions and high-end cars. As a tax payer, we demand to know where our money goes, and that is a normal thing. Actually on a normal transactions, you get a receipt of what you pay for. Don't talk if you will only dig your own grave.

What can I say about Lacierda?

- Shut up please :) You're not helping your administration, you're just making things blow out of proportion. Many times people have said, pick the right words because if you messed it up, and your crowd is a very sensitive and intellectual people, they will pry you for what you said. Enough pacifying us please, we have our own mind and we do undertand what you mean, the problem here is that you don't understand what we mean :D

What can I say about the Legislative branch who keep insisting that only those who misused it should be banned to use the pork barrel system, and we should not generalized.

- Well, dear law makers, there are three brances of the Philippine Government, The Executive, The Legislative and The Judiciary. Each is a separate entity to ensure accountability. Your work is to create law for the people, update it to ensure we are protected. It doesnt included on your job role to think how you will help on funding the projects because your role is to make laws. There are so many outdated law on our constitution, and what are you doing? Sitting there and talking with different people? Arent you guys ashamed? We an ordinary people, who pay taxes, goes to work everyday, and spent more than 8 hours on our offices. We work and make improvement everyday to the people whom we worked with, while you seating there getting money from us, isnt that unfair? 

And if you really wanted to help us, please pass a useful law and make sure that they have claws to capture the people who do wrong, unless you are afraid that you will get bitten if you will do your job well.

To my countrymen, let's not stop fighting corruption.We have started now, let's end it aswell :D

Godbless our country.

Love the Philippines

Fight Corruption

Punished those needed to be punished.

It's time to change the decade of dirty politics

Dear Noynoy,

Ngayon ay ginugunita natin ang kamatayan ng iyong bayaning ama, hindi pa ako buhay noong mga panahong iyon pero humahanga ako sa katapangan at pagmamahal nya sa bayan. Hindi kita binoto noong eleksyon dahil hindi ko naman makita ang iyong kwalipikasyon bukod sa anak ka ni Ninoy. Marami sigurong magtatanong sa akin bakit ko nasabi yun, sino nga ba naman ako, ano ang alam ko. Pero marunong naman akong umintindi, at ang desisyon ko sa pagboto ay nakadepende sa kung ano ang nabasa ko tungkol sa mga nagawa ng mga kandidato bago pa sila magpasa ng COC. Oo, isa ako sa mga taong nagtataka bakit andami pa din sa ating mamayan ang hindi natuto sa mga nangyari sa nakaraan pero sabi nga nila, bigyan ka natin ng benefit of the doubt, baka nga naman may mga pagbabago kaming makikita at mararanasan sa administrasyon mo.

Noong unang SONA mo noong 2010, ang natatandaan kong tinalakay mo ang badyet ng bansa at sinabi mong malaki sa atin ang nawala at kung saan saang tanggapan ito nawala. Sabi mo pa nga 

"Sa administrasyon po natin, walang kota-kota, walang tongpats, ang pera ng taumbayan ay gagastusin para sa taumbayan lamang."

Ikaw din ang nagsabi na pananagutin natin ang corrupt sa gobyerno, dahil and administrasyon mo ay nasa daang matuwid at kami ang boss mo.

Ilang linggo ko nang sinusubaybayan ang mga ulat tungkol sa Pork Barrel Scam, kung san napupunta ang buwis ng mga ordinaryong mamayan na katulad ko. Isa sa mga mga kiniinisan ko sa nakalipas na linggo ay noong ikompara mo pa ang Fertilizer Fund Scam sa Pork Barrel issue ngayon. Sa mga nakalipas na taon na nasa katungkulan ka, lagi ko na lamang naririnig na malaki ang nawala noong nakaraan administrasyon, minana mo lamang ang lahat ng ito (problema) sa nakaraang administrasyon, puro na lang nakaraang administrasyon. Hindi pa pwedeng ang marining naman namin ay, ganito ang gagawin natin, wag na nating tingnan ang nakaraan at baguhin natin ang kasalukuyan. Pero hindi, puro paninisi na lamang, paano tayo uunlad kung lagi na lang ang maririnig namin sayo ay paninira o pagdedepensa na lahat ng ito ay dahil sa nakaraang administrasyon? 

Kahit naman mas maliit din ang nawawala sa gobyerno, hindi naman piso or limang piso ang pinag-uusapan natin, milyong piso na galing sa bulsa at pinaghirapan ng mga ordinaryong mamayan na katulad ko at sa paningin namin, hindi maliit ang tawag doon. Milyong piso na pinakinabangan ng iilang tao na nasa administrasyon mo, milyong piso na pinagpawisan, pinagpaguran ng milyon milyong ordinaryong Pilipino para itulong sana sa iba ring Pilipino. 

Hindi ko alam kung naiintindihan mo bakit madaming katulad ko ang naglalabas ng sama ng loob sa mga social media at nais na mapakulong ang mga taong dapat na maparusahan. Hindi rin ako sigurado kung naranasan mo ang mga pinagdadaanan ng libo-libong mamayan para lamang kumita ng pera pangtustos sa pangangailangan ng pamilya nila. Madaming OFW ang iniiwan ang pamilya para lamang kumita ng pera, madaming tao ang nagtitiyaga sa pang-gabing trabaho para lamang kumita ng mas malaki, madaming tao ang sinusugod ang baha at ulan makapasok lamang, o kaya naman ay hindi ini-inda ang sakit ng katawan. Buwan buwan,  nagababayad kami ng buwis mula sa mga pinaghirapan namin kasi gusto rin namin na umasenso ang bansang kinalalagyan namin, gusto namin makatulong kahit na minsan kulang na din ang aming sahod para sa arawaraw naming pangangailangan. Tapos ganito ang makikita at malaman namin? Ang lahat ng pinag-hihirapan namin, pinambibili ng mansyon, kotseng at pinang-gagala lang sa ibang bansa ng mga taong kahit kailan ay hindi naman naghirap para sa perang iyon. 

Sabi mo diba na kami ang boss mo, at ito ang pagkakataon natin na magkaroon ng daang matuwin. Kung talagang may paninindigan ka, at totoo ka sa iyong hangarin na tulungan ang bansa, sana maparusahan ang mga taong katulad ni Janet Lim, at siya na rin mismo, kahit sino pa sila. Sana ipakita mo sa amin, kahit sa kahuli-hulihang sentimo kung saan napunta ang buwis namin, wag kang mag-alala madaling gumawa ng oras para tingnan at basahin lahat ng iyon. Kung maari nga, tanggalin mo na ang Pork Barrel sa mga Senador at Kongresista, diba ang trabaho nila ay gumawa ng batas? Bakit hindi na lang doon ang pagtuunan nila ng pansin, at hayaan ang mga lokal na namumuno ang tumulong sa mga nasasakupan nila? Sa dami ng mga batas na dapat nilang baguhin, pagtibayin at gawin wala na silang panahon na hawakan ang ganyang kalaking pondo, o nagtatrabaho nga ba talaga sila? May mga paraan naman siguro para masigurado na ang buwis namin ay napupunta kung saan talaga nararapat. Hindi naman siguro ganoon kahirap ang hiling namin dahil nais lang namin makita ang sinasabi mong tuwid na landas.

Kung kami nga ang boss mo, sana makita namin na pinagsisilbihan mo nga kami at hindi mo pinagtatakpan ang mga tao sa administrasyon mo.

Kami ang nawawalan, kaya sana kami ang mas isipin mo.

Marami ka na nga rin sigurong nagawa na hindi ko pinag-tutuunan ng pansin.
May mga nabago ka nga siguro na magiging maganda sa atin.

Pero hindi ba't mas magana siguro kung masasagot mo din ang tanong ng lahat patungkol sa pork barrel at mapaparusahan talaga ang mga dapat maparusahan?

Hanggang dito na lamang ang liham na ito. Marahil ay hindi mo ito mababasa dahil sa dami ng mga katulad ko na gusto kang kausapin, pero malay natin.

Nagmamahal,

Isa sa libo libong taong nagtatrabaho limang beses sa isang linggo, pumapasok na mukhang basang sisiw pag maulan, at nasusunog tuwing darating ang tag-araw para lamang kumita ng pera at may ipambayad sa buwis

For the past week, I am hooked with two of PhilPop finalist entries titled 'Dati' and 'Sometimes That Happen' though I also love all the other entries but this two stuck in my head.

Dati by Thyro and Yumi

Sung by: Sam Conception, Tippy Dos Santos and Quest

*This is the winning song <3*

Sometimes That Happen by Adrienne Sarmiento and Nino Regalado

Sung by: Ace Libre of Never The Stangers

While listening to the whole playlist, I wonder when am I that I didn't know about this and realized that I've been busy listening to foreign songs >.< 

I feel so sad at that thought actually because I do love OPM, and I think no one can beat anything that you grew up with, we are all subjective here ^^. I admit that for the past years, I've been hooked by a foreign artist and I am a Korean-pop fangirl but on the contrary half of my playlist is still OPM but non of them are recent. Aside from these songs, the recent one came from Himig Handog which is months ago.

Though I learned about PhilPop this late, I do admire them because they are encouraging us, Filipino's to submit an original composition and let the nation hear it. I think if our music industry will produce these kind of songs, and our radio station will play this (and not those trashy rap that shouldn't be played because they convey wrong messages to the kids), the younger generation will appreciate the OPM music more.

This actually promotes Nationalism ^^ 

If you wanted to know more about this you can check the Rappler post about this.

And yes, I do agree with them that OPM mostly is about love song, a sad love song in a happy or heart clenching melody ^^ 

Listen to the complete playlist here:

and please buy the album on any near music store ^^ Let's support OPM!

My best friend and I were having this random conversation about My Husbands Lover of GMA Channel 7 when I decided to post some reason why it is worth it your evening.

1. The story is plain in simple. 
Vincent is a closet gay who has an affair with his former flame (Eric) while being married to Lally. There are no other complications that our usual telenovela has, and I do hope that they wouldn't add so many palabok just to extend the story.

2. It depicts reality.
Though our sociaty is more acceptable to the people on third gender, we cannot deny that the social stigma on this issue is still existing. There are still parents who cannot accept that their son, or only son is not the person they wants to have, thus making it hard for the child to admit without feeling so ashame and burdensome and sometimes leads them to hide what they trully are. This thing happen, I know some people who's undetected by the gaydar because they have master the art of pretention, and you wouldn't know it unless they tell you.

3. Everyone is a great actor (Yes, I am talking about Lally, Vincent and Eric).
I don't know who was Tom Rodriguez until I watched this drama, I don't think Karla is a great actress too based from her previous drama's, though I always like Dennis, I also wonder if he can portray his role very well. After watching it, I realized how great they are. Yes, Dennis and Tom convinced me that they are gay, and I really want to give Karla that godd**n water when she was bawling on the hospital.

4. The lines are awesome! (Winner!)
Gay linggo are always funny, witty and so colorful, that is why I do love everytime Eric and his best friend have their conversation, which is full of fairies and rainbows :P
