Psalm 119 From the prayer desk of Rev. Deacon Gary
Reflections: In the gospel of Mark 12:28-34, one has to have a wisdom and

neighbors. The vision of commitment must be real, aside from being
compassionate, with unquestionable integrity and honor. Must be full of

with a contrite heart is not afraid to admit his/her mistakes and gladly

No Substitute for Victory: A Win Is a Win

WASHINGTON,D.C., Mar. 17 (PinoyGlobal) -  Consensus has it that last
Saturday’s Pacquiao-Clotty fight of the “decade,” if you can call that a fight,
was a mismatch by any yardstick. And if I may say so, it was not because
Clottey is an inferior boxer because he is not. But it was because his mind
was preconditioned with fear for the boxing prowess and legendary speed
of Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao. Clottey was overly cautious to engage the
defending champion in a bloody slugfest where the chances of him being
brutalized beyond recognition, was very probable.

The unprincipled gall of Noynoy Aquino
On Aquino's position re the pardon of Erap:
WITH all due respect to the parents, late Sen. Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino and
former President Corazon “Cory” Cojuangco Aquino, I cannot help but lash
out at the immoral gall of their son Sen. Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Aquino,
III who attacked the pardon of former President Joseph “Erap” Estrada
without seemingly reviewing his family’s history first.
Theft of Agrarian Land?
Beginning April 1958, Hacienda Luisita and the Tabacalera sugar mill
became properties of Jose Cojuangco and his TADECO (Tarlac Development
Corporation) company. Instead of Pedro or “Pete” Cojuangco who was Cory’
s eldest brother, Ninoy Aquino was chosen as its administrator.
SCTEx Luisita Insertion & Overprice?
Beyond the non-distribution of Hacienda Luisita, the reclassification of much
of the lands, and the actual conversion of 500 hectares into the Hacienda
Luisita park 2 sans consultation with their “co-owners,’ the farmer workers,
is the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx) Luisita interchange diversion
and overprice issue.

Psychological Test for Presidential Aspirants Is a Redundancy
                                04/14/2010      8:23 PM EST
WASHINGTON,D.C., Apr. 14 (PinoyGlobal) - Manny Villar suggested that
presidential aspirants should undergo psychological, which could very well
be mental test. Paradoxically, I believe it isn’t implausible considering how
many want to be president even though they have no following or
campaign funds, much less a well oiled political party. Months before the
campaign period, the Commission on Elections disqualified almost all of the
96 people seeking for the high office without credentials or logistics to
support their grandiose ambition.
