You can see it in the news, you can see it in the forums, you can read it in the newspapers, and even in social networking sites. People are criticizing President Noynoy Aquino to what happened during the hostage drama crisis.
People hated him of not doing his job, of being in the Emerald restaurant, and even of smiling in the camera in an interview.
People even say that “he is only good of blaming others.”
ABS-CBN wrote a letter of warning to Channel 7 and Channel 5 not to engage with Willie Revillame a contract, insisting that Willie's contract with ABS-CBN is still binding. Giving Willie a contract will result to legal actions of ABS-CBN.
“Nag-iba ang complexion ng case. May threat of a law suit already. So, sabi ni Willie, ‘Sino naman ang channel na makikipag-kontrata sa akin na alam nilang merong asuntong aabutin...’ Sa katapusan ng usapan na ito, malalaman kung may karapatan si Willie o ABS ang may karapatan na ipitin si Willie,” the lawyer said.
Another phenomenon emerged with the social networking sites, we call it the “Major Major Phenomenon.
One article said:
The show was without any major gaffes, except for Miss Philippines' answer when asked what her biggest mistake in life was and how she fixed it.
“I am also from the Philippines. We were cheering her on and so proud that she made to the top 5. When we heard the question we thought she'd nailed it because it was very appropriate based on what she had went through to get there. However, when we heard her answer, our jaws dropped. I knew that she would end up in 4th after hearing her answer. I preceived her answer to be too cocky. It's one thing to be confident, but one must remain humble. Nobody is perfect. She should have shown she has some weaknesses too, but overcame them. Everybody makes mistakes...this one, unfortunately, is her biggest!What a disappointment. :( “
“I am Filipina. I am not impressed of Venus Raj's answer.
- No one is perfect. And, she can't be a perfect one. She is Boastful ...):”
“Remember the question was about BIG mistakes. She never said she never made a mistake. She said there's nothing MAJOR,MAJOR problem she's done in her life. I'm sure she's done MINOR mistakes in her life but that's not what they ask for. She lived a very peaceful life in a very slow town. They didn't even have electricity. And they even grow their own food.What possible BIG mistake could she have done. Google Maria Venus Raj Wish Ko Lang 1/2 about her life story. She should have said she made MINOR mistakes so it doesn't sound like she never made a mistake ever. At first, I judged her answer too. But read and listen to the question and learn about how she lived her life. Maybe she really hasn't done anything MAJOR,MAJOR mistake in her 22 years of life. It's unbelievable but it's possible. WITH GOD, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. Matthew 27. “
The more I read articles about the hostage taker Senor Inspector Rolando Mendoza, the more I am convinced that he was actually a good man who just believed later on that he was maltreated by the government.

Our Ms. Universe candidate Venus Raj made it to top five. While the Philippines is covered with all the news from the hostage drama rescue operation last night, today, Philippines received a good news from our very own Venus Raj.
Venus Raj was the 4th runner up of this year's Ms. Universe beauty pageant. Ms. Mexico Jimena Navarrete won the title Ms. Universe 2010. Ms. Jamaica Yendi Phillips is the 1st runner up, Ms. Australia Jecinta Campbell as 2nd runner up, while Ms. Ukraine Anna Poslavska as the 3rd runner up.
It was but a tragic and bloody rescue operation. Gathering all negative feedbacks, most Filipinos who witnessed the hostage taking were angered with how the media and the police contributed to the failure of hostage taking management.
Last night, as I was watching carefully the live coverage in both giant TV stations in the Philippines, I can't help but to be disappointed with how the police managed the crisis and that how the media contributed to it.
Divorce has been adopted world wide. And this bill is filed in the House almost every new administration. However, since 2001 this bill has never been approved and still one of the most hotted debates in the House of Representatives.
There are mainly two sides, the liberals (pro divorce) like Gabriela (organization who looks after the rights of the women) and the conservatives (anti-divorce) which consisted mainly by the religious sector.

Are you a “Jejemon”? Most probably you are already familiar of the term. But for the benefit of those who does not understand, Jejemon is the term invented and used for texters who uses another form ot texting language.
The dawn of texting in the Philippines give rise to a new kind of spelling language via text. This is because text messages are usually limited up to 150 characters. So texters has to spell “sounds like” terms to shorten the message.
Behold the faces of your local politicians! You will see them anywhere seeking an applause from the people! Just as expected, some politicians wants to see their own faces on billboards of governmetn projects.
There has been a reaction from the minority bloc of the House of Representatives on banning credits from government projects. My previous article about this ban is just a glimpse of what kind of political leaders we have.
Our president launched the new website of our president where we can express our opinions and voices.
After saying, "Kayo ang boss ko" in his SONA, our president is trying his best to live by what he said. Just early this evening as I watched the news, the president launched his new website fully packed with the links of social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.
President Noynoy Aquino ordered to ban political advertisements of politicians on government projects. We all know that here in the Philippines, most politicians posts their faces in front of government projects. It is as good as claiming that they are the reason why these projects has been put in place.
Just today, my son received 3 notebooks donated by our city mayor. And guess what, the face of our city mayor is on its cover page. In a nearby city, government Ambulance bears the name and face of the city mayor as well.
One of the most controversial issues today is about Willie Revillame. Willie is the host of the famous Wowowie, a phenomenal noon time show which became so popular within just a few years of live shows.
Despite of Wowowie's popularity, its host Willie is becoming more and more unpopular to many Filipinos because of arrogance.
Current issues on Willie's case is about his request to ABS-CBN to let him go recinding his contract on his favor. Unfortunately, ABS-CBN is not stupid enough to grant his request due to the fact that Willie and the network is still bound by the contract.
