Mr. Jeremias Andrade Carrera, contrary to what you are claiming, I cannot find anything wrong on what I said in my previous post.
In fact, what you said in your previous post sounds more disgraceful.
But you are right in one thing, I should dream alone. Do not worry, I [...]

The people of Alaminos have a dream. What's wrong with dreaming? Without a vision - a dream - of the future nothing can be accomplished.
Over two hundred years ago, a dream was born by several dozen men. Three fourth of the population either didn't care or disagreed with these men. Yet, despite [...]

Mr. Oriel:  An international airport must accommodate international flights which means large airplanes requiring longer runways, not Mickey Mouse airplanes.
If Mr. Oriel is the pilot of even a 727, I wonder who are the dreamers who would like to ride that plane?

Something is amiss in the Tayug gunslaying involving the town mayor's bodyguards.
Initial reports described an on-the-scene and hot pursuit operation by the town's police. The suspects were clearly identified, and the getaway vehicle that figured in a car chase was later seen parked inside Mayor Carlos [...]

Mr. Jeremias Andrade Carrera,
Since we are in the subject of dreams, this one makes the Alaminos nightmare spare change. Check out the latest Philippine white elephant.
The government broadband project with China that was just signed by GMA. It made the US ambassador comment on the Philippine government’s need for transparency. [...]

Growing up back then, the word dream was just a part of a song or radio comical satiric plots the likes of legendary Lola Basyang and Edong Mapangarap.
Doris Day used to belt a song titled 'Give me a kiss to build a dream on'. Remember the never die melody 'beautiful [...]

Comparisons blown out of proportion

Issues being discussed in the Punch Forum are blown out of proportion. Making a comparison between the proposed Alaminos Airport and Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 (NAIA3) is like comparing an apple to an orange or an elephant to a much smaller creature.
Others are being made to believe [...]
