Bath Soap as Stain Remover
Because of the hot weather in our country
these days, it is very likely for us to sweat and sometimes smell foul.
I tried chlorine and other commercial bleach
for white and colored clothes but still this works far better like
miracle. You would not have to wash the
clothes till it is worn out like what I am doing before – my husband’s barongs and polo – especially those that
are made from delicate fabric gets older and soon get torn on the neckline. Know the secret and how to's :
First 100 Days of President Duterte
Philippines as Independent Nation
The President never wanted the
official residence of the country’s president to be called MalacaƱan Palace
anymore, he wants it more to be called ‘Palace
of the People’ instead. I agree with him when he said that it is not even
of Filipino Language origin – a true heirloom from our previous Spanish
colonizers. He has been consistent with
his ideal of the Philippines as Independent Nation – same is true with his
plans of us making our very own International Foreign Policy.
That is also obvious with his
objections and anger when other rulers try to degrade him with words/accusations
– as he said he is not just a city Mayor
now, he is now the country’s President! He is but right to do that because those who
pretend to be friends speaks on his back about their unsolicited comments when
they could have meet personally and could have discussed it then for him to
have defended his nationalistic efforts of conserving the future generation of
our homeland.
In fairness with President Obama,
MAYBE he really has no intentions of meddling with our affairs – it so happened
that a representative of a media in a press con has asked his opinion about
EJK. If many had opined that Pres.
Duterte should have been cautious of his words – the MORE caution must be
exercised by the President of the deemed to be most powerful nation in the
world. His words could have influenced a
lot of people worldwide – and IF he happens to misconceived what is really
happening here, it would damage our President’s reputation as well as the
senate’s and even the country as a whole. Because, his opinion is not based on
FACTS and the real situation; it may IMPLY that we CONDONE IF THERE IS
INJUSTICE and us Filipinos are blindly adoring the President. He is merely
looking at the surface and maybe one of those who wanted to believe that all
the killings are attributable to the administration disregarding the MIGHT of
the syndicates running drugs as well as those who had been connected and protectors
who were publicly exposed that could possibly be among the suspects who get
those drug personalities dead so their dark secrets can be hidden forever.
It is but right for the President to
stand his ground and speak-out and be furious about the baseless comments.
Remember two policemen daily also dies in the drug campaign IF THE GOVERNMENT
runs the drug campaign on its own liking there would never be a dead policeman
nor a relieved men in duty. There is still justice prevailing in this country,
if the president is a real killer – I think De Lima has not reached the senate
because of her endless accusations or even Matobato-
the ‘witness’ that even a lie
detector machine will fail, what more to the members of the legislative body
who are mostly lawyers in educational attainment.
The President may be TOO HONEST with
his feelings towards those involved in drugs. And for his first 100 Days, he is
brave enough to answer those who wanted us to ‘keep our mouth shut and bowing’
all the time.
The Launch
of the National Complaints Hotline 8888
This VERY HELPFUL hotline was
established to answer the public’s need for faster, reliable and ZERO-QUEUE
service from public/government employees remunerated from their paid taxes.
It was known to have hasten
processing of personal documents obtained from various government agencies such
as NSO (Birth/Marriage/CENOMARCertificates) , LTO (Driver’s Licenses, Renewal
of Vehicle Registration), NBI (NBI Clearance)etc. The became USUAL queuing of
people from inside the offices to the adjacent street roads with duration from
two hours to even days had become less than an hour to finish although you have
to come back not later than TWO-THREE days after for the document, not like before that you are there for that
long and then asked to come back spending time, effort and money just to be
told TO COME BACK AGAIN.
I think few months of adjustment from the pending jobs received by each
government agency can soon make way for the INSTANT release of documents in the
future. It is understandable that they had to finish
the backlog from the ‘turtle-like service’
they are providing before that no matter how they deny it or whatever alibis
they have, had become the system in here in our home land . I am really hopeful
that what the President wanted to see and experience by the public is the REAL
use of modern technology – COMPUTERS – I remember him saying in one of his
speeches that if a government agency can not act FAST having computers in their
offices, they should junk them because there is no difference at all compared
to not having one around.
Having the hotline, every public
servant is guaranteed to please every Filipino because IF NOT, expect that it
will no longer be tolerated. The Civil Service Commission is the frontrunner
for the complaints hotline.
Challenge for the Dignified Teachers
May I pour my thoughts about the teachers I recently met
these days? Teachers had always been good influencers and I can never forget
the greatest of the teachers I had back then. Mrs. Sonia Bruan-Santiago (THE
IV), , Mrs. Luzviminda Miguel (VE VI), Mrs. Juanita Lagmay(Gr6), Mrs. Andaya
(THE I), Mr. Nestor Londerio (Physics IV HS), Mrs. Minerva Ranieses (Eng.
Prof.), Mrs. Helen Bulatao (Dean /Acctg. Prof., Mrs. Remedios Ala (Gr3 Eng.),
Dr. Regino Paular (Current Issues).
These are not so good things that are
needed to be said to challenge the teachers of our new generation. It will be up to them to take this negatively
or positively to improve themselves and abhor such deeds mentioned here.
The Quiz Bee Cheat-chers?!
Contrary to what others might suppose on my divulging of this
hateful fact, I wanted to help ignite back the integrity of SOME of our noble
teachers. I do not have any idea if whether winning on quiz bees give them,
teachers, extra points or promotion because SOME but NOT ALL are staking their pride and honor just to help
their coached students WIN.
This is what I have observed in the recently concluded Quiz
Bee my daughters had participated in:
1. A teacher coached a student (maybe on the same school she is in
–because not only now I met the student and teacher tandem, they represent
Science V last year and they obviously cheated then too but landed only 3rd).
You know why, because I recorded the whole competition on video and they found
it difficult to signal.
The student always glance on that teacher before she answers,
the Easy
and Average levels are to be answered with letter of choice ONLY which is 20 points when totaled if I am not
mistaken. The wise teacher, pulled her chair back to where my camera can not
caught her and she just moved her chair when the two rounds are finished
because dictating or signaling complete words on the difficult round is not
easy that is why she stopped there. I
noticed that she only helps in the first two rounds. Glad that they were not
able to make it to the top2 then.
This year, the tandem have succeeded, the student ranked 1st
this time, it so happened that my digicam is not prepared – low battery and I
left the memory card for longer recording time, there is no way I can video
them. The teacher sat just one seat apart from that same student
last year. Now, she whispered every letter of the correct answer, I was able to
read her lips when it opens – it will be too
many to call it coincidence. The wise teacher noticed that I was staring at
her and the student with a long hair – glancing all the time to her or listens
to her every dictation. I only learned she is the TIMER when she softly uttered
‘STOP’ that is just when she felt I was guarding her. What she did is
whispering while pretending to look at her phone or writing on a piece of paper
– I do not know if she is also writing every letter of the answer. But mouthing
letters a, b or c or the word stop moves one’s lips differently
that is why I am precisely sure she is dictating answers and you really would
not notice she is timing the Quiz at first because she only started talking a
little louder when she noticed me. I knew almost all the answers because it
took me huge time writing the Science reviewer for my child aside from what her
teacher has provided. I just thought before that she is just there to observe
the competition but…imagine one seat apart from the student, she is facing the
door while seating on the last column.
The student sat in the column before her, facing the blackboard. The
distance is only the narrow aisle that is approximately one seat away. Imagine
14points out of total score that brought her in the advantage of around 6-8pts
from the 2nd placer is obtained from cheating! I felt sad to
the 2nd and 3rd placer who have exhausted efforts on
reviewing just to be cheated, it so happened that my daughter’s score this time
is far from winning, I chose to keep silent.
I thanked the situation because if not, I would not keep my mouth shut
and expose the cheater oh, I mean teacher
and the pretending-to-be winner student.
How can they managed to accept
medal without honor at all, they knew for themselves that it does not
belong to them. That is why I could not
help mentioning to the other spectators that the 2nd and 3rd
placer are more deserving of the medals.
This became so rampant that Angel
became a victim too last year on a different district here in Quezon province.
1. The students were asked to
share a number of questions representing their respective schools English IV, I
forgot if it is one or two questions each.
2. The Quiz Master seated at the
back of the seat rows doing her thing while maybe an ‘intern’ or assistant
(not wearing uniform) asked everyone to put their share of question in the box
in front of the blackboard. Each question has the answer provided to guide the
Quiz Master.
