Motives and angsts

Just wondering, what is the motive behind yesterday's explosions and encounters in Isabela City?

________________________________

Here, the military wasquick to blame it on the Abus. the AFP chief recently said, only 300 Abus remain. what I can't fully comprehend is how they can be exact in the number yet the thousands-strong AFP with billions of pesos in annual budget seem inutile in going after a band of 300?!

Here the media was quick to tag Islamic militants. Again showcasing to the Muslim world their gross ignorance of Islam. There is nothing Islamic in terror. Please put a stop to your tagging. How do you expect to win the hearts and minds the billion-strong moderate Muslims in the war on terror? Bombing religious places and harming civilians are AGAINST Islamic teachings. Period. We condemn those who misuse Islam to sow terror, those who hijack a peaceful religion, my religion. Just as we condemn those who fan the flame of ignorance, stereotype and prejudice in the media.

Behind the failure

The news today said, 30% failure in the automation. Many are worried. Others are cursing the COMELEC. Still others are speculating a "no-election" scenario. But take a closer look, isn't it behind this 30% failure a 70% success?!

The deepening silence of nature, Punctuated by the encroachment of human folly, Yet some semblance of innocence persists.

Culture is what connects us with the past. It showcases the height of what the past has achieved. Culture-wise, what is the achievement of the present generation then?

You don’t need to be an astronaut to visit the space. You don’t need to be a doctor to know about the human body. You don’t need to be rich to travel to Europe. You don’t need to be a diver to explore the seas. You just need to read ….the world is at your finger tips!
