Be Free Pinoy - for your FREEDOM

It Can Either Work FOR you or Work Against You. One morning a few days ago, my wife was disappointed to see the outer sole of her shoes stripped off again just a day after she fixed it with rubber cement. As I take look at it later, I found out that the way she applied the rubber cement was improper – the surface was not cleaned well before applying and she did not allow to let it dry first before gluing the surface together. That was why the optimum and desired result of the fix was not attained, although rubber cement has been known and tested to be an efficient rubber adhesive. Well, a lot of things around that if used properly will make our life easier and better or even saves us energy and resources. However, no matter how effective and usable a thing would be if it is used improperly and messed up with it, that “useful” thing may cause us trouble or problem which may lead to disappointment, stress and dismay.

I can recall the pages of history of the worst nuclear accident in Ukraine in April 26 of 1986 – the Chernobyl disaster that as they conducted the test of their cooling pump whether it can function still with low power in case the auxiliary electricity supply should fail. They started the...

How it appeared to my daughter was a picture of a man scratching his head in wonder and in great grief of what had happened. Now, how it would looks like to you? What if it is you? Do you think it can’t happen here this country? think again.   Throughout history, great and powerful governments almost always conform to the usual playbook – a time tested pattern i.e. when the “Once Powerful”  governments is in decline and as bankruptcy gets nearer, it will always resort to imposing controls over everything – from wages, prices, capitals, trades, exports even unto its people: Everything! and this idea can be traced back even from the dawn of human Civilizations.
