Electing Someone for His Money Is Treason
02/06/2010  07:43 PM EST
WASHINGTON,D.C., Feb. 06 (PinoyGlobal) -  Life ends when we do nothing
over things that matter.  And evil they say, triumphs because good men do
nothing. But I will do my level best to ring the cat’s bells to wake up our
apathetic and lethargic compatriots if it’s the last thing I will do in this life.

Jesus Mistaken for John
King Herod heard about it, for his fame had become widespread, and
people were saying, "John the Baptist has been raised from the dead; that
is why mighty powers are at work in him." Others were saying, "He is
Elijah"; still others, "He is a prophet like any of the prophets." But when
Herod learned of it, he said, "It is John whom I beheaded. He has been
raised up."

The leadership of Jesus can be contrasted with that of Herod as a leader.
Jesus is compassionate, healer, just and good, servant and king over all
creation, while Herod is selfish, murderer, immoral, political opportunist and
King over small territory.

Obama Admits Healthcare Overhaul May Die On Hill
Alert: After insisting for a year that failure was not an option, President
Barack Obama is now acknowledging his healthcare overhaul may die in
Congress. His tone at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser Thursday
night verged at times on defeatist. Even while saying he still wanted to get
the job done, Obama bowed to new political realities. Democrats no longer
command a filibuster-proof Senate majority, and voters and lawmakers are
far more concerned with jobs and the economy than with enacting
sweeping and expensive changes to the health system.

Tales of the longest-staying Malacañang resident except for
one
From its beginnings in 1802 as a Spanish aristocrat’s summer home,
Malacañang Palace in Manila was to become the prime seat of political
power in the Philippines. It served as the official residence of the country’s
governors-general both during the Spanish colonial years until 1898 and
during the American occupation until the establishment of the Philippine
Commonwealth in 1935.

Mission Impossible - Road to a Noynoy victory could pass
through Hacienda Luisita
WASHINGTON, DC - The trouble with Noynoy's February 9 pronouncement is
that it is only being done after Noynoy had already dropped to a steep dive
ending in a statistical tie with Manny Villar.
When I sent messages to Noynoy Aquino through friends like Tony Aquino
(no relations) and Popoy Juico, that he should not join this presidential race
because he will just render not only himself but his family as fair game, my
best intentions were ignored and instead I was insulted.

after the elections. Some solons of the ruling party are like mockingbirds
singing that GMA will be the next Speaker. According to them 100 Lakas-
Kampi-CMD incumbents seeking re-election are sure winners, not to

also emerge victorious in the next polls. By implication they mean that this
