Tax per Text for a Cause?

House Speaker Congressman Prospero Nograles pass a bill that there will be 20 cents tax per text for health and education.

Is this for real? The government doesn’t have enough funds already to support health and education? Where are the taxes from the oil companies and different establishment goes? In fact every single Filipino are paying taxes in everything that can be bought, clothes, shoes, food and etc, even fare. And how many people in the Philippines don’t need those things?

If the enrollment fees and the hospital bills are free then I go for 20 CENTS TAX PER TEXT.

The Little Prince

The Little Prince is one of the best books I have read. It is uniquely written by Antoine De Saint-Exupéry, it has a different interpretation of life but strikes you like lightning. It talks about the innocence of a child that makes the grown up wonder and forgets about the most important thing not only a child wants but all of us. That is…. Just read the book and you’ll find the answer I don’t want to spoil your reading. If you don’t want to read it just ask a fox.

War in Mindanao?

The war in Mindanao was just one of the political tactics to pursue Charter Change (CHA CHA) in the Philippines?

In Para Sa Masa seen in ABC-CBN Davao, every Sunday 9:30AM Mayor Rodrigo Dueterte tells about the negotiation of MOA (Memorandum of Agreement) failed. So to stop the incident which is the war, to be in control of the problem or situation the solution is to amend the constitution which will result to extend the terms of the government officials that Mayor Dueterte disagree of.

I believe of Mayor Dueterte says that amending the constitution at this very moment is not the perfect time, if their intentions are good they have to wait for 2010 because there are more important things to do and better ways to solve the economic crisis of the Philippines. And about the war in Mindanao logically who give the MILF people some guns to fight against the military? Why at this time, that the problem of rice shortage and oil is not that big deal anymore? Because that problem is not strong enough reason to amend the constitution and so they let the MILF and the militaries fight to get sympathy from all of us? If it is so how pitiful those lowest ranking officer of the MILF the militaries and the civilians who were involve, they were just used as pawns.

Now is CHA CHA really the solution to solve the problem? What do you think?
