Brouhaha over the Philippine National Anthem

"Mexicanos, al grito de guerra"....

In most of the Pacquiao bouts, the opposing fighters were Mexicans. Whilst the Mexican national anthem was sung the same way all the time, the Philiipine national anthem was done a variety of times.

In the Philippines, there is a law on how the song should be sung (check my earlier posts) but the stubborn artists of this land have used their artistic freedom to mangle it. Beautiful, as they claim their %^&* renditions may have been, the point remains the same. The law is intended to preserve the ways by which it is originally sung and to remind us that during difficult times, a group of people fought to make this country independent.

And while I may be in favor of making revisions to the song, I, and all of us, have no right to break the law. I will sing the anthem differently, as soon as the law has been ammended and never before any formal proposal had been made.

So Martin Nievera and the rest of you people who remains stubborn, I am strongly in favor of having you remain stubborn--- inside the Manila City Jail!

Asbestos Exposed People

In most parts of the world, including the Philippines, a lot of people were exposed to asbestos, a couple of decades ago. By this time, a number of those people are probably suffering from Mesothelioma cancer. God forbid but if there are actually people who in one way or another, was exposed to asbestos and are feeling at the very least, a bit abnormal, they should consult specialists. A good resource page can be found in this post, just click on it to find the symptoms and other information.

Hahaha!

A friend of mine once remarked that one common denominator between all those on diet is that “they all won’t stop eating”. If that is the case, people should learn to exercise a lot more in order to burn more than the calories that they are taking or… take the best diet pills. That’s the only way, in my opinion. Of course everything intended to alter one’s physical state should always be guided by qualified doctors.
