The Philippine Armed Forces has been standing
under one commander-in-chief, never mind the
failed, coup d'eta'ts, the govenment
has been fighting against the common enemies
of the people namely the muslim extremists in
the southern philippines, and the innumerable
crime syndicates all over-
yes crime is at its peak, i never deny that
but i wanted to tell about the philippines
being analysed as "laughable" one time which
i partly true- but let us see the other side
of a coin..
An excerpt:Palestinians are fleeing from the murderous
hands of their own Palestinian brothers.
http://www.dailystar.com.lb/article.asp?edition_id=10&categ_id=17&
article_id=94790
A weak government like us, it has a majority
vote to seat representatives from hamas
which terrorize israel, while the government
like mahmoud abbas seeking "peace talks" with
israel and at the same time electing hamas
members on its own parliament with fatahs
on the other side- terrorizing israel.
It is a damning indication of
just how bad things have become
in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip
when Fatah militants there must
look to Israel for protection
from their Palestinian rivals. T
It is not a laughing matter but
things get satirical
The Philippines at least has its own
cheating acts albeit gives a unified
government as presented to all
it's not all gloomy for the filipinos!
when the people of the philippines donot and
never, ever will go to the south,for help fom abbu
sayaf..
or mnlf, etc-- (extremists)
to seek refuge from the carnage of
its own government.
GOD FORBIDS!
till next...

I would like to go back and reminisce the filipinos
on how they fought wars- first during the world war 2
which everybody knows how the philippines played a
very important role in America's victory over Japan-
but wouldn't discuss it in details since it would
entail volumes of informations eating up so many
spaces in the board-(and besides i don't want readers
to get sleepy when history unfolds  )
and also wars of poverty and ingenuity why
the filipinos can be regarded as resilient people.
My father introduced a book to me which
he fondly reads about Bataan and Corregidor
and how Carlos P. Romulo presented his
own perilous adventures against the Japanese.
To cut the story short
The capture of the Philippine Islands
was crucial to Japan's effort
to control the Southwest Pacific,
seize the resource-rich Dutch East Indies,
and protect its Southeast Asia flank.
World War II was the largest
and most violent armed conflict
in the history of mankind.....
Only in the Philippines did the combined
U.S.-Filipino units mount a prolonged resistance,
holding out with grim determination for five months.
It delayed the Japanese timetable
for the conquest of south Asia, ...
so, when we think of guerilla warfare
the filipinos can be counted as a formidable
opponent.
The US lost roughly 4,127 american troops in iraq
with all the highly technical war weapons
with such sophisticated arms, the US soldiers
must learn more on how to live at war
in jungles, forests, bunkers and deserts
sometimes, it's not the weapon you use
sometimes it's the one who uses it.
call a filipino soldier for guerilla techniques
but that is where the terrorist and extremist forces
are at the most.
with a character such as this i can still
say that it is not all gloomy for the filipinos
till next....

Talking of anything about the Philippines randomly
One filipino placed a factual issue (in one of my blogs)
about poverty and hunger in the philippines
and that is correct! Many are poor and hungry
but before going to one thousand reasons why
is this so,
again let us look at people
who cook/bake mud as their staple food.
Haiti’s poor
resort to eating mud as prices rise
Cookies made of dried yellow dirt
become sustenance, livelihood, concern
 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22902512/
I never heard that filipinos resorted to eating mud..
this is not a mockery to the haitians,
as a matter of fact, nations must be aware
of the hardships these people are going through
it was not their choice- they have to live!
it is the fault of a weak government-again.
The rosier side about the philippines
during hungry times is this-
Food supplement for poor launched
MANILA, Philippines --
http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view/20080513-136233/
Food-
supplement-for-poor-launched
In response to the twin problems
of malnutrition and hunger in the country,
a non-government organization
and Church group have launched
a food supplement for the growing number
of Filipinos who find themselves in such a situation.
The Center for Community Work
and People’s Development (CCWD)
and Caritas Manila introduced
to the public on Tuesday Nutrimeal,
which is made from vegetables and rice,
and contains nutrients beneficial to the body.
CCWD Project Officer Lolit Reyes
said Nutrimeal was the group’s
response to the food crisis
Reyes said that Nutrimeal
could help alleviate the micro-nutrient
deficiencies of children such as
iron deficiency anemia,
protein energy malnutrition,
and iodine deficiency.
Nutrimeal would be sold at P70
per 100 grams in village halls
and churches, Reyes said,
but added that that they would also
coordinate closely with local government units
(LGUs) and NGOs to distribute
Nutrimeal to the public markets
more about hunger and poverty next ish-
it is not all gloomy for the Filipinos!
specially when filipino people could only learn
to avail of such numerous help in the country.

MANILA, Philippines --
Long before the term medical tourism
became a buzzword in the country,
Dr. Florencio Lucero, a senior plastic surgeon
at Cardinal Santos Medical Center
and chief of plastic surgery division
of the Philippine General Hospital,
had already been receiving foreign patients
coming to the country for cosmetic
and aesthetic surgery.
Medical tourism is a multibillion-dollar
global industry that is still growing,
which is why Philippines wants to get slice of the pie.
Dr. Lucero believes the Philippines—
with its competitive costs
and its pool of quality medical
practitioners—stands a good chance
of becoming a major player in this market.
Medical tourism includes not only
cosmetic procedures but major surgeries as well.
The 60-year-old doctor thinks
he can open up another market and contribute
to the country’s medical tourism
via a new medical procedure that
his clinic—Asian Plastic Surgery Center—
is offering, called the autologous stem cell transplant.
This procedure, he says,
guarantees patients suffering
from degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s
and Parkinson’s of a medical
rejuvenation that will make them
feel good inside and out.

i went to a dentist one time to get an opinion
about a toothache which i suffered for two weeks
the dentist told me, it required simple extraction
or root canal therapy. it was dismal because
i know that when i ask my dentist friend in manila
about the case, she will say "let's fix it because
the roots are still sensitive."
maybe i was expecting too much from a dentist in
hong kong at a nearby district, or i should
have went to a dental hospital instead in
metorpolitan central hong kong
for a satisfactory advise?
when i went to manila for a much needed medical check-up
my good suspicion was right- i got the positive
opinion form my filipina dentist friend
in St. Luke's hospital 
i myself have proven and will always believe
in the excellence of our medical and para- medical field
in the philippines, this is the one thing
our corrupt government could not destroy-
our genes regarding medical and para medical fields
in Asia-
it's not all goomy for the Filipinos!
