Calamba Shootout or ‘Encounter’?
Sec. Raul Gonzales and Atty. Leila de Lima are at it again. These two had been at odds since the previous elections because they represent the government and the opposition respectively and it seems just natural that they collide with so much friction since both are adamant to discredit each other’s side. For principle? Maybe but quite frankly I’m guessing it’s for the 2010 elections. Gonzales says his opinion – to shoot and kill the RCBC suspected suspects – is not the reason why the four men from Tanauan, Batangas ended up dead as opposed to De Lima’s insistence that his suggestion triggered the PNP to shoot and kill the men; hence the rob out scenario. Take note of Gonzales’ opinion from De Lima’s suggestion : whoever is taking the other one out of context is almost virtually impossible to detect.
The initial encounter a.k.a. rob out issue between the four men from Tanauan hasn’t even been cleared yet and now another shoot out in Brgy. Puting Lupa in Calamba, possibly a rob out incident again, has resulted in Montano Tolentino’s death, which the PNP Calabarzon believes is the leader of the famed Tolentino Liquido Group – a notorious organized crime syndicate operating in the said region. The family of Tolentino said it was a rob out but the PNP said otherwise. According to the PNP, they were there at Tolentino’s house with a search warrant but the man open fired at them and left the RCBC Task Force no choice but to retaliate.
Quest for Truth: ZTE-NBN Scandal (Finally Updated)
I went to this forum hoping to feel something, to take away something – a renewed fervour. I took away something alright – the feeling that forums like these were meant to provide comfort and hope for discomforting and hopeless times. Read here.
Wave the Philippine flag on your blog!
May 28 is National Flag Day, which is when the Philippine flag was raised for the first time in 1898 (in the Battle of Alapan, Imus, Cavite). Beginning this day until June 12, which is our Independence Day, everyone is encouraged to display the Philippine flag in front of our homes, schools, offices, and other places. This period is called National Flag Days.
Here’s an idea: why not wave the National Flag on your blog? Continue reading the whole post…

Smart Bro Prepaid Experience
After having troubles in buying the new Smart Bro prepaid, I finally was able to use it and surf the internet anywhere. It has been a week since I have used this product. So far it has surpassed my expectations based on speed. The Smart Bro prepaid package by the way contains the Smart Bro modem, two USB cords and a manual.
Before, I usually use the internet by going to Robinson’s Galleria and take advantage (abuse) of the mall’s free WIFi service. I also sometimes connect using my GPRS mobile phone. That was really horrible in terms of speed. I cannot even open my Yahoo and Chikka Messenger.

Reflections and Musings #1
I had an entry lined up to address Bishop Tobias’ letter to the IC, but I think I’ll just maybe share my thoughts with you all tonight.
There’s a short back story to this so bear with me please. I had been working on a “gift” that I’ve been meaning to give the CFC Home Office/Center for quite sometime now, but it was only recently that I figured out how to put it together properly and cohesively. If you read the response by the MMC in this entry, you’ll see that the home office has had some issues in communicating with its database of leaders and members because the person in charge joined the FFL. I encountered this verse during my search for a solution for that:
He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. – Isaiah 2:4
Obviously, you can all read into this however you want, but it particularly struck me in how it relates to what we are doing now – and by we, I mean us the IDOTRCFC bloggers, and the Easter Group. It made me think about the over all effect (global effect, if you may) caused by the CFC split and the subsequent, very public, tit-for-tat exchange it has generated.
Teenage Love Affair Music Video
This is my current favorite song “Teenage Love Affair” from Alicia Keys. I just can’t get enough of this song. Alicia Keys is flaming hot in this music video. She’s getting prettier in her music videos. Too bad, I can’t watch her concert here in the Philippines this year.

Boracay Tan No More
After our short visit to “Munting Talon”, we went back to our cottage then cooked “sinigang na bangus.” We even dipped on the beach when we arrived. That caused my Borcay tan into a not so good tan. Anyway, while we were cooking “sinigang na bangus”, our other colleague was assigned in grilling the stuffed bangus. Just in time for lunch, we were able to feast on our own cooked meal. We even ate on banana leaves which made the experience more fun. Sadly, we weren’t able to take pictures of our first lunch in Quezon.
After lunch and our short rest, we went to our next destination “Balagbag Falls.” We took a tricyle on our way to the falls. On some parts of our ride, we were required to walk since the tricycle was having problems in carrying us all. Would you believe that we were all eight passengers in the tricycle? Two on the drivers back, five people on the inside and one on top of the tricycle. Isn’t that fun?
