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?

i never get tired reading edener  benitez fabella’s comments about the present national leadership. edener never runs out of hatred and unnecessary language.

i urge edener  benitez fabella to outline his suggestions or solutions to the problems the next time he sends comments to the forum.

expressing opinions is one of the great attributes of democracy, but opinions bonded with hatred and offensive language is another thing.

Hello! Please email me the contacts for the distributor of bonito ampalaya seeds. Thanks!

Rice, please!

It could not have happened at a worse time.

The reported withdrawal of funding support by the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) from the proposed P2.5 billion irrigation component of the San Roque Multi-Purpose Dam project comes as a major blow in light of the pressing and thorny rice crisis.

The irrigation component, which involves a re-regulating pond that will divert used water from the dam into the fields, can serve at least 70,000 hectares of land not just in eastern and central Pangasinan, but also in the neighboring provinces of Nueva Ecija and Tarlac. That would translate to tons of additional rice supply, perhaps more than enough for local demand.

The Urdaneta template

By Ermin F. Garcia Jr.

With Urdaneta’s City Mayor Amadeo Perez Jr. at the helm, Urdanetans will undoubtedly be one of the more fortunate Pinoys who will never have to go hungry in the face of a food crisis.

The city’s Tulungan sa Purok, a food production program through self-reliance, is a timely no-frills and simple yet practical community project that doesn’t require a congressman’s  pork  barrel to get it done and can result in  millions-worth of goodwill.  It’s a kind of project   whose full benefits when successful will surely be felt by the community. Above all, the community will have the rare privilege of claiming and sharing the credit for and among themselves, taking pride in what they have accomplished together.

‘Fests of the North’, city’s ‘grandest’

By Gerry Garcia

THE “Festivals of the North”, virtually a grand cultural event into which the Dagupan Bangus Festival, under the leadership of the city’s first lady vice mayor ever, Belen Fernandez, has expanded were overwhelmingly impressive in the number of crowds and commuters drawn on one hand and participants in the street dance competition on the other. Actually and publicity wise, the Festivals of the North outshined the city’s last fiesta celebration, including all the other previous fiestas.

Is GMA giving Benjie a Cabinet post?

By Jun Velasco

THAT was a brotherly act by Dr. Salvador “Ado” Duque proposing reconciliation between President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and former Speaker Joe de Venecia.

He thinks the rift was childish because it began with their kids, Luli, Mikey, and Dato Arroyo and Joey de V.

How we wish  it could be done!  But the rift has gone beyond the personal, bordering on a clash on leadership style and philosophy of governance.
