Domestic Violence

Just this morning, I read a very sad and frustrating news about this heartless mother from Texas, USA, who had been sentenced to 99 years imprisonment due to the physical abuse she inflicted to her 2 year-old daughter. This news really made me choke in disbelief and horror. How can a mother  got a nerve to abuse her own toddler?Who, at the age of two, is still very innocent and clueless with what's happening around? The story goes that the young mother glued her daughter's hands on the wall and previously hit her in the head sending her to a coma, good that the toddler survived, there must be a good reason why God allowed her to survive. I just can't understand why it happened, what went wrong with the head of that mother, who is suppose to be the protector of her own children and suppose to nurture and nourish them with so much care and love, can really do such repulsive and disgusting thing in life? Didn't she know that it would leave a scar to the child...

Cybercrime Law and its controversies

Alright! Now, we have this latest law to talk about, worry perhaps?Hmmmm... Republic Act No.10175 , famously known as Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 , is signed into law last September 12, 2012. And since it is already a law, anybody caught committing a cybercrime could be criminally charged in court!Arggghhh. So what's this law all about?Why there's a fuss? Who would be affected?Are bloggers and columnists are in danger? As a blogger who maintained blogs and post several articles online, I am anxious and deeply bothered with this law and how this would affect the style of my writing hehe! Since libel is one of the criminal offenses included in the bill, I should be careful now in attacking famous personalities, my question is : Am I not allowed to criticize.. uhmmm ...Kate Middleton?^___^  Thank God she is not a resident of the Philippines. I am also afraid that I cannot download images anymore for my blogs due to the provision of "illegal access"  ...

Campaigning for Bam Aquino

Entry to Politics Campaigning for Bam Aquino, not because of his illustrious family name, but because I believe he can contribute something remarkable in the senate. His passion in the social service would be his best advantage. Bam is a multi-awarded social entrepreneur. He was named Asian Social Entrepreneur of the Year and Young Global Leader  in 2010 by the World Economics Forum, and also named one of the     Ten Outstanding Young Men (TOYM) in the Philippines . He is no stranger to policy-making being the youngest chairperson of the National Youth Commission in the Philippines in 2003. Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV. He will be a breath of fresh air in the Philippine senate. An active youth leader and multi-awarded social entrepreneur, Bam Aquino champions financial advocacy and had been in the social service since he graduated Summa Cumlaude at Ateneo de Manila University in 1999 (BS Management Engineering). He co-founded MultiVentures Incorporated i...

On September 28, 2012, the UIC community gathered together at the Bajada campus to celebrate one important occasion, another milestone in the history of the university, the installation and investiture of the fifth president, S.Ma. Marissa Viri, RVM.  With pretty colleagues ^____^ (from right) Precy, Cherrie and Juvy at the UIC Bajada auditorium.  At the registration area before the start of the mass. With Neil John, Rachelle and Rochelle. There was a thanksgiving mass at 9:00 in the morning celebrated by Most Reverend Romulo Valles, D.D, the Archbishop of Davao, followed by the installation rites. We then proceeded to the gym for the fraternal banquet and entertainment.  The foods were great catered by Chippins but the area was terribly hot, so bad that I did not join colleagues anymore at the picture taking just outside the gym courtesy of the Immaculatus. The discomfort I felt towards the irritating blemishes on my face made the whole thing unbearable tha...
