THE BLOGGER AS VICTIM OF UNFAIR PLAY.

It must have been a deliberate act or they did not know the implication of what they did. But if you are worthy of respect as a writer, you have to think a million times especially if the subject of your ire is a no-nonsense Philippine Daily Inquirer writer. They have maligned the blogger and they must be rejoicing but the Almighty will fight our cause. Again, we say, the justice of God will run its course; it may be slow but it will come like a thief in the night.

the inner sanctum could not err
quote deny not the little woman unquote
the newspaper version, a gory painting,
began as an infant in Lethe
like the eternal scourge
like the paradoxes of thieves
in the apex of their discontent
like the dream echo

ILOKANO WRITERS' GROUP IN P10-B SCAM?

     The blogger stumbled upon this banner headline in The Norluzonian (August 27-September 02, 2013), one of the oldest tabloids in Amianan, if not in the Philippines.

      We are quoting the first two paragraphs of the article in the first page of the weekly published by veteran newsman Joe Gonzales.  

     CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, La Union-- A reliable source reaching the editorial desk disclosed that one of the Non-Government Organizations based in Ilocos Region was among the recipients of millions of pesos from the Pork Barrel (Countryside Development Fund) of certain solons in Northern Luzon.

          The following did not appear in the tabloid, but this pertains to the alleged involvement of the Sir Pelagio Alcantara Development Foundation(SPADE) in the P10-B scam. The item was part of a long front page article in the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

    Sources said that the foundation was used by one of the sons of Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala in availing the former's pork barrel through a farmer's non-government organization in Quezon province.

     Accordingly, how can a La Union based foundation operate in that far-away province?
     The blogger personally knows the family as decent and honorable. One of the sons of the late Sir Pelagio, his namesake, was number 3 in a board examinations in architecture.

PLUNDER RAPS AGAINST THREE SENATORS AND JANET NAPOLES

     The Department of Justice filed last September 15 plunder charges against senators Juan Ponce Enrile, Ramon "Bong" Revilla and Jinggoy Estrada and Janet Napoles, the alleged mastermind of the P10-billion scam.

                                                ILOKANO LANGUAGE INSTITUTE

     Ilokano Language Institute is now being organized by selected Amianan media and literary men, academicians, religious persons and other Ilokanistas. Code of by-laws and articles of incorporation are being prepared for ILI to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A training center for the language, ILI aims to develop the Iluko language and standardize usage including orthography and translation and interpretation.
     ILI will be based in San Fernando City, La Union.

INTELLECTUAL IMBECILES

     Organizations for writers palliate the writer's loneliness but I doubt if they improve his writing. -Ernest Hemingway, 1954 Nobel Prize winner.    

      Instead of writing good literature, these writers are wasting their time concocting lies against fellow writers. They should examine themselves first: what they did and are doing. One of them screwed the organization and got away with his corruption. And one of them knows this. Well, as they say, birds of the same feather flock together. 

     

HE HAS LOST HIS RIGHT TO LEAD?

   
     I think of you, my dearest Philippines, as a promise of beauty, a virgin Goddess, untouched by the porky ugliness of Janet Napoles.   
  
              THE TENTACLES OF GREED

     It appears that the Philippine President has lost the moral and intellectual ascendancy to lead the country. He bears a great name and, therefore, a great responsibility to guide, inspire and steer the nation to heights, especially at this time that we are threatened by powerful forces like China. Things are not what they are now under his watch. Yet he may still spring a surprise by changing his thought: cut off the tentacles of the politics of greed and bring us to economic paradise with honor and dignity.  

DSICOURSE ON A SUNDAY MORNING

     The following is from a red book the blogger used for jotting down notes as a government journalist circa late 1980s:

     "Men will continue to have impure and poisoned blood as long as they propagate unclean thoughts. Out of a clear heart

comes a clean life and a clean body. Out of a defiled mind proceeds a defiled life and a corrupt body. Thought is a fount of action, life and manifestation; make the fountain pure and all will be pure."

     The above could have been copied from a book written by a religious person.
