MY PRIVATE EYES AND EARS

I WAS A MISSIONARY AND A CHURCH PLANTER FOR SO MANY YEARS AND I UNDERSTAND EXACTLY THE BEAUTY OF PERSONAL AND HOUSE TO HOUSE  VISITATION. THIS PICTURE IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE BEAUTY OF PERSONAL VISITATION. ONE AFTERNOON, WHILE THIS WOMAN IS BUSY IN WASHING THEIR CLOTHES, AN UNEXPECTED VISITOR IN THE PERSON OF COUNCILOR RAMON "TOTO" MEDALLA ARRIVES THAT CHANGE ENTIRELY THE COMPLEXION OF HER FACE. THE MEETING SUDDENLY SPARKS A MOMENT OF FUN AND EXCITEMENT BETWEEN THE WOMAN AND COUNCILOR TOTO MEDALLA. THOUGH THE COUNCILOR WAS A WELL KNOWN PERSONALITY IN HIS AREA DUE TO HIS COUNTLESS NUMBER OF PROGRAMS WHICH BENEFITED THE MAJORITY OF HIS CONSTITUENTS. BUT MOST PROBABLY, THIS IS THE FIRST CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF THIS WOMAN WITH COUNCILOR TOTO MEDALLA. I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY ABOUT THEIR CONVERSATION THAT MAKES THIS WOMAN HAPPY SAME THING WITH THE GOOD COUNCILOR.  BUT IF I WAS IN THE WOMAN'S SHOES, I CONSIDER IT AS AN HONOR WHEN SOMEONE F...

ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED MOMENTS DURING ANY POLITICAL RALLIES AND CAUCUSES IS THE THROWING OF FREEBIES TO THE CROWD BY THE POLITICAL CANDIDATES.  THROWING OF FREEBIES  IS A SORT OF ICE BREAKER TO A LONG AND REPETITIVE SPEECHES OF ANY POLITICAL CANDIDATES THAT ARE MOSTLY CHARACTERIZED BY EITHER EMPTY PROMISES OR BRAGGING ABOUT THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS. I CONSIDER FREEBIES AS AN IMPORTANT PART OF ANY POLITICAL ACTIVITIES. FOR ME IT IS LIKE AN INCENTIVES OR REWARDS FOR COMING TO THE EVENT AND FOR EXERTING AN EFFORT TO HEAR AND LISTEN TO THEIR PLATFORMS OF GOVERNMENT.  THOUGH CATCHING A FREEBIES IS NOT AN EASY TASKS. YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH IF YOU CATCH ONE. BUT THE EXCITEMENT AND AND THE FUN REMAINS IN THEIR HEART FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.  DEFINITELY FREEBIES INCREASES THE NUMBER OF THE AUDIENCE. AND THE LACK OF IT WILL DECREASE IT.  SO, AS AN SPECTATOR, I HOPE TO SEE MORE FREEBIES OR GIVEAWAYS WILL BE GIVEN DURING POLITI...

  A WOMAN IS A PACIFIST THE FUTURE IS FEMALE THIS IS THE SLOGAN OF THE QUEZON CITY'S WOMEN AS THE PREMIER CITY CELEBRATES THE INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S MONTH HEADED BY THE OFFICE OF VICE MAYOR JOY BELMONTE. WE SHOULD NOT MISINTERPRET THIS SLOGAN FOR THE FUTURE IS FEMALE DOES NOT MEAN FEMALE OVER MALE. A WOMAN IS A SUFFRAGIST A WOMAN IS A DEFENDER OF CIVIC AND POLITICAL RIGHTS. A WOMAN IS A HUMAN RIGHT ADVOCATE A WOMAN IS AGAINST ANY FORM OF DISCRIMINATION. A WOMAN IS MORALLY AND RELIGIOUS UPRIGHT

The Quezon City Vice Mayor slot is anybody's race. Like the rest of the voters I have already my own preferences when it comes to whom shall I vote for Vice Mayor but like you it can be changed as the election process is still going on. One thing that amazes me is when a wife of a politician speaks in behalf of her husband. We need to listen with them with all ears because we can learn something from them especially when they introduced their husband. This is the first time I saw Mrs. Joy Sotto in public. Mrs. Joy Sotto is the lovely wife of Councilor Gian Sotto of district 3, one of the leading candidate for Vice Mayor. In Visayan accent she tells the crowd that she believes her husband can be a good Vice Mayor once elected. Then she enumerated the reason why Gian Sotto shall be elected as Vice Mayor of Quezon City, 1.   He is a good and loving husband. 2,   He prioritize his family' 3.   Sunday is dedicated for God and Family...

Most of these elected officials completed their 3 terms of office'  Some of them will run for a higher office while some other they will be replace by their immediate family member. Mayor Herbert M. Bautista filed his candidacy and have an assurance for a second term of office due to the lack of potential opponents    Councilor Aly Medalla, of newly form District 5, emerges as one among the favorites in different surveys conducted by different stakeholders.  Atty. Kit Belmonte filed his candidacy for Congressman of the new district VI of Quezon City. No opponents. 

http://valtesar.blogspot.com/ MISGUIDED MINDS WE ARE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE! THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES BECOMES THE PLAYGROUND OF CONGRESSMEN AND CONGRESSWOMEN WITH DELIRIOUS MINDS. A MIND THAT IS NOT CAPABLE OF DISTINGUISHING WHAT IS REASONABLE AND WHAT IS NOT. THEY FORGOT THAT WHEN THEY CONVENED AS A COLLEGIATE BODY, THEY WORK AS ONE, IRRESPECTIVE OF THEIR POLITICAL COLORS OR PERSUASIONS.  THE CONGRESSMEN WHO BELONGS TO THE MAJORITY BLOC ACCUSED THE COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS CHAIRPERSON CHITO GASCON OF SIDING WITH LIBERAL PARTY DOES PROMOTING AND PROPAGATING THE INTEREST OF THE LIBERAL PARTY. THE CONGRESS PLAYED THE NUMBER GAME, WHERE THE MAJORITY ALWAYS WIN BY OUTNUMBERING THE MINORITY. IN THIS CASE, CONGRESSMEN ALLIES OF THE PRESIDENT VOTED IN FAVOR OF THE 1000 ANNUAL BUDGET OF THE COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS. THIS IS BAD POLITICS. THEY ACT AS IF THE MONEY COMES DIRECTLY FROM THEIR RESPECTIVE POCKETS AND THE COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS IS A...

ACCORDING TO THE DICTIONARY, ETYMOLOGY IS THE STUDY OF THE ORIGIN OF WORDS AND THE WAY IN WHICH THEIR MEANINGS HAVE CHANGED THROUGHOUT HISTORY. TO BETTER UNDERSTAND ANY GIVEN WORDS, WE NEED TO TRACE BACK ITS ORIGIN AND USAGE. FOR INSTANCE, THE WORD POLITICS, IT COMES FROM THE GREEK WORD Πολιτικά WHICH MEANS "AFFAIRS OF THE CITIES". AND THOSE WHO STUDY THE AFFAIRS OF THE CITY ARE CALLED POLITICOS OR POLITICIANS. MERRIAM-WEBSTER DEFINES POLITICS AS THE ART OR SCIENCE OF GOVERNMENT. BUT FOR SOME, IT IS MORE OF AN ART THAN SCIENCE. THE TERM POLITICS WAS INTRODUCED BY THE GREEK PHILOSOPHER ARISTOTLE, WHO DEFINED IT AS A  CIVILIZED  FORM OF COMMUNITY. POLITICS IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR MODERN SOCIETY. IT HAS A COMPLEX AND MULTI-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE. THERE ARE LOT OF SOCIAL, POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL GROUPS OR SECTORS IN OUR SOCIETY AND THEY ARE DISTINCT AND UNIQUE FROM EACH OTHER. THESE STRUCTURES OPERATES FREELY AND INDEPENDENTLY. ASIDE FROM THESE MAJOR ...
