What’s At Stake For Chief Justice Renato Corona?

Honestly what has CJ Renato Corona got to lose if he steps down as the Chief Justice?

Is it the Supreme Court? – No because “HE” is not the Supreme Court.
Is it the prestige of being a Supreme Court Justice? – No because his appointment came from one of the most controversially corrupt president the country ever had.
Is it his name? – No on the contrary he will be able to clear his name and by humbling himself and letting the rule of law do its work.
Is it the sovereignty of the Supreme Court? – No, because with or without him the Supreme Court will always be there and other Judges can replace him (albeit something he would want to consider as an Aquino court).

On The Impeachment Of Chief Justice Renato Corona

Rule of Law or Mob Rule?

The recent stand-off between the Supreme Court and the Aquino administration has opened up new wounds and new realities. In fact as I write this article congress has already signed 188 signatures asking for the impeachment of the Chief justice, for all its worth, is it something that should be supported or is it something that should be taken with a grain of salt?

History tells us when Hitler singlehandedly lifted the German nation only to bring it to its ruin. The same goes for Mao of China and Marcos of the Philippines.

Why You Should Not Buy From Potato Corner

I was walking in SM Fairview with my fiance, when we chanced upon a stall of Potato Corner. It is one of the longest running french fries stalls that I can remember so far and they serve delicious and affordable french fries to movie goers and regular mall geeks.

On the Atom Araullo & Patty Laurel Split

And so it came to pass that Patty Laurel and Atom Araullo parted ways, I found this after I tried to go and check the website of Patty, something I was akin to doing since way back 2004 (or was it later?)

But before anything else some true confessions:

1. I have a huge crush with Patty Laurel I just find her humor and wit and especially her writing very adorable so it is already a given that I will eventually try to look for her online and get to know her mind (realizing that this is as near as I could get) To note I was not a fan of morena beauty back then so I guess being pretty is not a very big factor it is more of her spontaneity and childlike manners I find adorable.

Do We Really Need To Wage War Against The MILF?

Si vis pacem, para bellum – “If you wish for peace, prepare for war” – Flavius Vegetius Renatus circa 375 AD

I can understand why the Government is not asking for an all out war, they are as follows:

1. It will send the wrong signals over our Muslim brothers in the country.

2. I have a very strong feeling that this war scare is also the equivalent of the terror scare that swept the world after 911. We have an enemy but we really don’t know who they are or even if we do the circumstances revolving around it are questionable.

A Letter Of Congratulations To New U.P. TAO Brods And Sis!

Just to be clear I am going to write this in parts as I wouldn’t want to miss anything from what goes on in my head. But before anything else congratulations and welcome to the family of the U.P. TAO Brotherhood and Sisterhood.

Permit me to apologize for the delay of this letter, as such may it be compelling enough to merit your kind attention and tighten your stomachs to what I would have to share as a fellow U.P. TAO

Of poetry and other stuff

She’s thirty three; I was staring at her resume.
She wasn’t able to finish college because her family has no money, and they asked her to go back to the province.

She’s an undergrad of The University of the Philippines, taking up anthropology. If my memory serves me right that particular course is a quota course. She belongs to the upper five percent of the students who took the exam, wherein the students who pass the exam itself (not belonging to the quota courses) already belongs to the upper 10% of the nation’s education system (perhaps for the ones who were fortunate enough to take the exam).

30 and loving it

This was supposed to be a post about being thirty but then time happened and I realize that I am already 31. And so the things I learned in being thirty is relegated to the dustbin of history. And while time passes by quickly (especially when you are having fun) eventually you realize that writing something out of it becomes a thankless chore.

So for the record and just to continue the tradition I started whenever I age another year I would like to present to you the thirty things I learned before being thirty. (Let’s just say that I am still thirty years old)

Online Reputation Management Philippines

Ideally every website should be able to maintain a clean name in the web. But what if something like THIS happens to your own website or brand?

Protecting your name and reputation is very important for your business. So first and foremost let me try and help you “claim” your reputation.

1. Utilize Social Media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter) – A lot has changed since the hey-days of SEO and nowadays Google listens to what the social signals say.
