Screen all donation sources: From Bishop To Cfc

Sunday, April 20, 2008 0 comments

A religious group known across the seas which is called CFC (Couples of Christ) has extended their hands to the poor and helped those who suffer in starvation and sickness. In Philippines, a controversy began to explode about any donation leakage or should I say something that is not meant to be donation that made the community in its weakest hour. But, the community has stood up its ground and continued its part in the community. This community have made Philippines less poor through extending their excess blessings to those who haven’t. Through GK(Gawad Kalinga) Project, they build homes for the poor and homeless.

Though they still continue to serve, the controversy doesn’t die. Thus, a Bishop from the Philippines urged the CFC to monitor the donations in order to have an accurate number of money they are holding and to keep the family away from the issue of corruption. In order to do this, the Bishop suggested to screen the companies that wanted to help in all the programs of the said community.

Today, the CFC continues to extend help to those people in need and never tired of helping them. CFC is at its full service, for God, and for the same species.

GMA on NBN ZTE Deal

0 comments

A pending petition to release the NEDA documents which will be of great help in pinning down PGMA on her position due to US$329-million national broadband deal with the ZTE corp is still under the decision of the Supreme Court.

Although the petition is under process, it was believed to be relevant and will be the key to answer the questions of the said broadband deal scandal. It will also be the key for the senate to freely ask questions to former National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Chief Romulo Neri. The said petition was filed last year in the month of October because of the refusal of Neri to answer questions from the senate.

NEDA secretary general told the Senate that NEDA could not release the said documents since the documents are covered with executive privilege. Since the petition amis to seek answers from people who are said to be in affiliates in the ZTE broadband deal.

Because of this, there are more summed ideas that the documents in the NEDA will be the answer for this pending case. As of now, all we can do is wait and see where this case will be leading. I just hope, this case will not be put to trash.

IRRI: High Rice Price up to 2 Years

0 comments

Rice prices really keep on increasing. Now, vegetables start to increase and just make citizens carry extra burden. IRRI (International Rice Research Institute) said that rice price will not decrease in two years span. The Philippine based institute warned the civilians of this rice price increase and government started to give civilians with cheap rice to sustain life. It was said that it will take longer time to make rice price decrease since rice is an international product and many countries are asking for it.

People all around the globe consumes rice and many people consume rice more than what they are expected. Farmers producing rice is needed but it is useless for now since, population increases faster than rice, it is certainly an imbalance. In Philippines, rice is essential and many poor families struggled in buying rice. Now, poor families struggle much more because of the increasing price of vegetables that have been a good alternative for meat.

This was because rice was reported to be increasing and diminishing its stock. Then, these businessmen made this issue truer and put an immediate increase in rice just for their profit. IRRI said that this issue mostly affects urban poor as well as farmers who farm and harvest. Note that farmers don’t have any advantage on rice since they are only workers and they need to buy rice from their own salary.

On my own opinion, this 2 years time would be deadly to us. Philippines have poor people to be thinking of and it will be a very long time. Burden will always be a burden. Rice increase means death. People need rice and it’s very useful for us. 2 years of this issue is risky.

Brian Gorell Posts, Learn From This!

0 comments

News about blogs comes out to Philippines when this Australian blogger, Brian Gorell explodes its accusations in television. I just said that it’s only an accusation since it wasn’t still proven. This blogger, aged 40 gave a shot on blogging posting stories about his life on love, money, betrayal and abuses he had experienced. In his blog, it has been I think a negative comment in which some citizens never liked it, due to the fact that it was not been proven to be true. Other bloggers and even media organizations picked up this story because it had been very dramatic.

Why do care about him?

Bloggers, like me can learn from this. Why? Since that it has been below the belt post, I guess, it could be a libel case for him. It was not been proven that what he is saying is true. It merely was JUST a post. In order for us to believe him, we must hear what the opposite side is saying.

What‘s the issue?

Well, it was said that from his blog, he fell in love with this Filipino (in which the start of this controversy). During those times, they shared stories and told him how beautiful Philippines is. He also writes about negative things about the affiliates of this Filipino lover and accused them of malicious acts like cheating in their partners and drug addiction. It was also posted about this $70,00 debt of the Filipino lover. Gorell said that his blog’s intention isn’t putting those people into shame but to give his money back. If Gorell gets back his money, he’ll stop posting these things.

$70,000 debt??

Yes, $70,000 debt. The story goes like this; Gorell loves this Filipino in which they agreed to put up a restaurant in the Philippines. Brian Gorell invested this $70,000 for the restaurant in which according to him, came to be a scam. In his article, he always posts ”Pay me back PLEASE”.

Why Blog?

Well, blogging is an online activity in which many cyber personalities could activate blogs. Through this, many will see this and be able to put this into media, which was reported on television. Also, blogging can be a money earner in which, Gorell needed to supply his life medicines to live. But blogging have limitations and you can be accused of any offensive acts. Remember to prevent these posts.

Rice Price Rises! So What?

Monday, April 7, 2008 0 comments

After a recent report on lacking supply of rice in Philippines, rice sellers started to increase rice’s price in which poverty is much experienced. The said NFA rice (National Food Authority) was then put into public to let these less wage earner persons have enough amount of rice fitted on their income. As such, rice is known as the Filipino’s favorite food. Why? Filipinos cannot eat breakfast, lunch and dinner without it, so deal with us right now. Filipinos need rice. This really is a big deal for us and this matter can’t hit my smiles right. Rice is hitting our pockets deeply!!

Reports say that Philippines is ranked as the one of the large exporters in rice. But yet, Philippines gets a relatively high rice price. Experts put to account the continuous rise of expenses such as fertilizer and fuel as well and also the climate change and pests that destroy the product. Farmers pointed out that they aren’t benefiting from it. A farmer said that if this continues, his family will go hungry. They can’t afford it for sure if rice still rise. The rice prices hit 50 percent increase on world market in which it really is a big deal for the world.

So what if rice rises? Not only Philippines set rice as a fave food. Japan also loved rice, Vietnam, China, Thailand, US and other countries in which rice is greatly in need. There will be scar in every region of the world. Every country will have an insufficient supply that will cause its people to experience hunger. Let me answer it. If price increases, there will also be a relatively increase of hunger. Don’t you think?
