First time using a Magic Trackpad with my MBP for work. The temptation to reach for my mouse is still there. So far I love the gestures for navigating web pages and full screen apps.

Bong Go can keep telling himself that, but in the end he's Duterte's Errand Boy first, and Senator of the Philippines second.

I just saw the news about Dennis Padilla and his daughter's wedding. People were so quick to judge or defend him.
The truth is we don't know the full story - and even if we do, we have no right to pass judgement to any party.
Remember the Gospel from last Sunday - John 8:1-11.

If doing something for your country actually justified it, dictators would be saints, tax fraud would be patriotic, and every drunk uncle at a Christmas Party would be a political genius. Spoiler alert: They're not. (4/4)

Or, "I cut in line at the grocery store… for the sake of my country!" No, Betty, you just didn’t want to wait for your turn like everyone else. (3/4)

Imagine someone saying, "I robbed a bank… for the sake of my country!" That doesn’t suddenly turn them into a national hero—it just makes them a criminal and a bad liar. (2/4)

Oh, you did something for the sake of your country? Well, congratulations, I guess? That doesn't magically make it a good thing. Saying that is like putting ketchup on a burnt steak—it doesn’t fix the problem, and now you've just made it weird. (1/4)

For the incoming PH elections - the people must now start asking our senatorial candidates about their position on the upcoming impeachment proceedings on the Vice President. Anyone who's not willing to check the presented evidence prior to giving judgement should not be elected.

I have come to love watching SP Chiz Escudero's press conferences. Straight to the point and light hearted at times.

I smiled giddily knowing that Representative Luistro is part of the House Panel to lead the impeachment case. Let's see what happens next.

Kahit pa sino ang maupo sa pwesto, kung tingin nila kailangan ng classroom, mag aallocate sila ng budget at itatayo yan. Dahil yun ang tamang gawin. Hindi ito bagong idea na dapat silang pasalamatan dahil naisip nilang gawin.

"... ng lahat ang gayong edukasyon."
At sumumpa sila na ipagtatanggol ang Saligang Batas, susunod sa batas, at maglilingkod sa publiko. So ginagawa lang nila ang trabaho nila.

Sige, sabihin na natin na sila ang nagpropose para magkaroon ng allocation sa budget - pero nasa Saligang Batas na "dapat pangalagaan at itaguyod ng Estado ang karapatan ng lahat ng mga mamamayan sa mahusay na edukasyon sa lahat ng antas at dapat magsagawa ng angkop na mga hakbang upang matamo ...

Kaya tuloy nagkakaroon ng patronage politics. Kasi tumatatak sa utak ng mga botante na kung hindi dahil sa congressman na ito, walang classroom. E di ba dapat DepEd ang nagpapatayo ng classrooms? Bakit naging proyekto ng congressman?

Bakit kailangang pasalamatan ang congressman kapag may bagong tayo na classrooms? Pera ba nila ang pinampatayo? Hindi ba galing ito sa buwis na ibinabayad natin?
Wala dapat tayong utang na loob sa kahit na sinong pulitiko. Sila pa dapat ang tumanaw ng utang na loob kasi ibinoto natin sila.

I absolutely destroyed my 3x25 Tempo workout yesterday, a first time to complete once since I got back to cycling. I once again realized that positive self talk will get you somewhere and that you won’t grow if you don’t go out of your comfort zone.

Rewatching Chernobyl. Its first words hit different these days.
“What is the cost of lies? It’s not that we’ll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all.”

Spaniards used to deprive native Filipinos quality education to perpetuate the ignorance and weakness thus keeping them at bay. Looks like some of our politicians have taken notes and doing the same to us. Turns out political science has a term for it: Predatory Governance.
