See? Sulpicio Lines' TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) petition against BMI's ongoing inquiry has been junked by Manila RTC (Regional Trial Court). This is precisely why, as of this time, the best option is to support BMI (Bureau of Marine Inquiry) instead of trying to pass the ball to their "inquisitor of choice" (or the "rightful body to conduct investigation" as per Sulpicio Lines). Because honestly, how much different can BMI's and MARINA's decision be compared to each other?
If these investigating bodies are to gather factual information alone, it is only statistically and theoretically possible that they will arrive at the same decision.
I am however, with Sulpicio Lines in their request to have BMI's and MARINA's inquiry Continue reading →
Sulpicio Lines has a way of incurring my wrath as easily as I can blink my eye. Today's news illustrates my point very well. "Complete madness and an unacceptable twist of fate" is what I will call this new strategy of theirs should it succeed, which I pray to God - do not. Okay, so Sulpicio Lines has managed to do their homework and do some reading on maritime laws, republic act 9295, which is the "rightful body to conduct the inquiry"...blah blah blah.

The events and developments surrounding the tragic capsizing of the MV Princess of the Stars have been told, reported, printed and blogged many times already. One might think that we've heard enough. But the truly affected -- the families of the victims of this tragedy know better. It isn't enough. Continue reading →

ARE YOU PROUDLY PINOY?
You’re on a GREEN site!
This site is offsetting all electricity use with wind-generated Renewable Energy Certificates which prevent the release of 2,660 metric tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere each year.That’s equivalent to planting nearly 2,390 acres of trees, or removing 510 cars from the road. Reinforcing my commitment to combating climate change.

March is Women’s Month
Phenomenal Woman by: Maya Angelou
Many people wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
When I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
The flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
The joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Men themselves have wondered
what they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them,
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Now you understand
just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing,
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palms of my hands,
the need for my care.
Because I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's my mother and all your mothers
And my grandmothers and your grandmothers
And my great grandmothers and your greats
And my great greats
And yours
And all you women
And Me!
