For Region I Hospital in Dagupan City:

Hay! I really hate yung mga authorized persons para pagbawalan yung mga bisita ng pasyente. Akala mo kung sino sila magpalabas ng tao. Hindi naman kami hayop na basta na lang tataasan ng boses para lang palabasin dahil nga daw isa lang ang allowed na bisita.

Pwede naman kami kunin sa paki usap kaya lang akala nila king sino sila magpahiya ng mga bisita. Mga strikto silang wala naman sa lugar. Hindi friendly ang mga staff ng ospital nyo.

Ang sarap nila i-report sa radio. Nakakainis mga staff nyo… lalo na mga tao nyong nagbabantay sa gate!

Actually hindi lang ako ang inis sa kanila. Marami ako nakausap sa labas ng ospital. Sana pagsabihan nyo staff nyo na ubod ng mga bastos makipag-usap sa tao. This happned only yesterday when I visited my cousin na nanganak.

Judgment

By +Oscar V. Cruz D. D.

The Holy Book says: “Do not judge and you will not be judged yourself…” (Luke 6:37). At the same time however, the same Sacred Scriptures have the historical “Book of Judges”. Furthermore, the said Scriptures say the following: “Moses sat to judge the people…” (Ex. 18:13). “Why not judge for yourself what is right?” (Luke 12:57). “Don’t you know that God’s People will judge the world?…Do you know that we shall judge angels? (1 Cor. 6:2-3). Meantime, there is the multi-century old consecrated norm that says: “The Church does not judge on internal matters.” viz., She can and only pronounces judgment on what is known in the external forum through words said and deeds done. Reason: Judgment on what is externally unknown but only interiorly known to the human agent concerned is reserved to the Good Lord Who is the only One who knows even the most inner thoughts, hidden designs and desires of every individual.

The Manila Regional Trial Court just handed down marching orders for the Sheriff to pounce on Bishop Oscar Cruz, a defanged saber-toothed tiger of the Catholic Church.

With handcuffs hanging over his head, the old and gullible Bishop, is quaking in his shoes . . . pissing on his pants . . . throwing up his meal, the reality at last the misfortune of crossing sword with Archangel Miguel is coming home to roost.

Will he survive? Highly questionable. He’s banking what he believes the greatest defense lawyer in the Philippine Bar Estelito Mendoza, can mount a credible counterattack on accusations arrayed against him by PAGCOR.

Can his defense disprove what Bishop Cruz claimed that usherettes in Archangel Miguel’s birthday bash were not plain servers but GROs, which PAGCOR strongly believed were libelous?

It comes down to the dictum; “It’s not what you know it’s what you can prove”.

The way things are looking up, it’s a done deal. They will make him the whipping boy, a retribution on the cardinal sins he did the Arroyo government. Joe de Venecia found out the hard way, that colliding against the Arroyo locomotive is dangerous to your political health likewise on the Bishop’s religious beliefs.

Payback time, Mr. Bishop. Pray like Hell!

Pinablic ya kabaleyan, Sir Joe,

Thank God, the show is over. The formal opening was quite memorable & momentous. 3 National Artists were there, Napoleon Abueva, Bencab & Virgilio Almario. Canadian Ambassador Robert Desjardins, UP Diliman Chancellor Sergio Cao, Fine Arts Prof. Emeritus Virginia Agbayani, UPCFA Dean Tina Colayco, UPAA Toronto President Noel Cruz & former Bangko Sentral Governor Jaime Laya were also there. UP President Emerlinda Roman came the following day as she was at the UP Davao commencement that day.

And of course, families, friends, artists & art lovers plus the UPCFA students were in attendance, too. Dean Colayco said it was one of the best attended art openings, if not the best, in the college. And finally, I met Santiago Villafania with another kabaleyan, Dr. Carlos Pizarro. Sonny gave me a book of his Pangasinan poetry. (pls. see: http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:T9mHI9ciG8oJ:www.dalityapi.com

Our sincerest condolence to Uncle Victor and Auntie Perla Ubando in the passing away of Regine Ubando.

Regine had the chance to go to the US with his parents but decided to help our beloved city of Dagupan. His tireless 12 years of work was noted by Mayor Al, his co-workers and the people he had served.

Being in Dagupan before he was laid to rest, it was an honor to witness the many testimonies to this civil servant.

Rest In Peace. Love from cousin Joe Ceralde and family.

A sure way to upset your air travel plan is turning yourself into a total jerk. Once inside the plane, go check your friend. When you find him holler – HI-JACK!!  You can go closer to ruin by simply alerting airport staffs you have a bomb in your backpack. Normal thinking people loving their freedoms do not behave loosely in public facilities.

Governments around the world recognize these groups (bombers) as terrorists including those who think they are being funny when joking about bombing an airline on flight. Rightly so.

Last week, a veteran senator stood up in congress haughtily advocating that Meralco be bombed? My first thought ‘tinoyo na naman si madam Brenda!’. This is someone aspiring to represent our country in the U.N. International Court of Justice?

OMG, how will she declare those in disagreement with her? ‘Mga inutil kayo? You should get bombed? Heaven forbid because instead of being proud she is representing us, we may need to cover our heads kung doon mababasag ang toyo niya.

A serious question is this, why are airport jokers locked up in jail while a senator encouraging the bombing of a public utility is not being detained? We Filipinos are really in a heap of trouble.

Mr. Chito G. Soriano should read my comments back in 2005 if he wants to know what a Fabella presidency will be like. He might even vote for me once he gets the feeling I am not a thief, cheater and a low down liar.

Mr. Van de Leon:

You are done with PANGALATOK. An achievement true Pangasinenses at heart started . . . to cleanse the language with ignorant and stupid connotations.

How about PINOY? This word is most vile, spewing forth a heritage that’s uncouth, trashy, uneducated, indolent and docile bringing with it the worse in you.

The last gasp of colonialism should be eradicated once and for all. Filipino you stand . . . Filipino you fall.

Balut  Pinoy, anyone?
