No matter how noble your intentions are, if the people concern doesn’t care, you’ll end up regretting the things that you did for them. Yon na siguro ang nangyari sa akin. Maybe I deserved this for being too pakialamero!
I really tried my best and even went out of my way to find jobs for a cousin of mine from other company. I vowed before that I wouldn’t hire a Kamag Anak Inc. in our company and I still stand by my words. Kaso if the job is just given to a person, he wouldn’t appreciate it. So, now that nagising na ako sa katotohanan, he’s going to be the last Kamag Anak Inc. na tutulungan ko. Iba talaga if you’ve work hard in order to get the job. If my cousin only went through looking for a job in employment agencies in Manila with limited money, maybe his perspective is different. Siguro mas na aappreciate niya ang kung anong meron siya ngayon.
The cousin of mine was hired as a driver/utility man for SR. 1,500. In KSA, that’s a big amount since most of the companies would only give a base pay of SR.800 for a driver. Even my company wouldn’t give that kind of salary. However, my cousin started sending SMS to everyone, to everyone who would listen to him that he’s being mistreated, not fed and does a lot of tasks. If there’s one thing that I don’t like hearing from a person it’s when he complains about the job. I started working when I was 17 years old doing part time job in major fast food chains in the country. I’ve been through hell as they say pero I never complained. In fact, it made me appreciate more and value the dignity of human labor. For me, complaining about the work is a big disgrace.
The sad thing is that my cousin doesn’t consider the situation of his family. His father is very sick and a worry could trigger a heart attack. His sister in the US couldn’t also sleep from worrying. He also keeps on sending SMS to his brother who is taking the bar exams! He chooses to bulakbol kaya he wasn’t able to finish his college. He got married late pero pati pang gatas ng kanyang anak inaasa pa sa kanyang pamilya. Paano, wala namang trabaho sa pilipinas. Now he’s crying at gustong umuwi at mas mabuti pa daw mag tambay na lang siya sa Pilipinas. Tumaas ang presyon ko when I heard that he’d rather tambay and do nothing than work here. I asked him before he was deployed if he’s really decided at kung buo na nag loob nya. Ang sagot naman oo daw. Ngayon, nandito na gusto nang umuwi.
He has so many complaints but when I asked him, he could not answer me with a straightforward answer. So ibig sabihin, nagsisinungaling talaga at tamad lang.
I told him that this is his opportunity to give a better future for his daughter. Kaya nga lang, mas maganda siguro para sa kanya ang manghingi na lang monthly ng pera sa Ate niya sa States. Sabagay, mag tambay lang sya, magpalaki ng kanyang itlog at wallah! may pera na from the States.
I talked to his boss about his situation. Sa totoo lang, I have no authority to talk to his boss since I’m outsider. Iba ang culture ng Arabs but his boss is a gentleman. We’ve ironed out the situation and I warned my cousin to do well. I also talked to his sister that the best thing that they should do is to ignore him totally. Kasi tatahimik lang naman iyan kung malaman niyang wala ng nakikinig sa kanyang mga drama sa buhay. Sabi ko rin, be careful what you wish for, it might come true. Baka sa kakasabi nyang minamaltrato siya at hindi pinapakain, magkakatotoo tuloy!

Jail time for telephone prankster
It’s good to hear that Inday Miriam filed a bill giving jail term for telephone prankster and people committing fraud through the telephone. The good senator says that caller ID doesn’t help in curtailing crimes committed through the telephone.
Unlike in Saudi Arabia where SIM cards are registered, the Philippine government doesn’t register the SIM cards that providers are selling to the public. If all the SIM cards sold are registered, it is very easy for our law enforcers to track down criminals. They could just run a database search and Wallah!, the criminal is caught. I just don’t know if our lawmakers are just plain dumb or what but the easiest way to catch a criminal is by having the SIM cards registered.
This is the same thing with the National ID system. Leftist groups are against it because they’re the number one criminals. I am for the National ID system so that it would be easy for the police and military to profile the militants and the criminals in our society. It would also make the lives of our people easier since a unified ID system means presenting only a single ID while transacting business with government and private agencies.
Inday Miriam’s bill is a welcome development but for it to be effective, she should include registering the SIM cards sold in the market so that it would be easier for our law enforcers to catch the criminals.

Major Accomplishment
Hours after the hostage taking, Philippine’s bet for Miss Universe 2010 made it to top 5. She was later proclaimed as 4th Runner up. My friend D who underwent a major operation at the St. Paul’s University Hospital in Iloilo on that day sent me a text message before going to the OR saying that Raj did not get the crown because of P-AbNoynoy’s mishandling of the hostage crisis. The message was funny but if you’re the president, you’ll be blamed for a lot of things. I think that P-AbNoynoy should take all the blame just like how his predecessor took all the blames. Though some of the blames were ridiculous the then PGMA took it all. In short, mas may bayag pa si Gloria kesa kay AbNoynoy.
Despite Raj’s placement, Pinoy’s are not satisfied and went even to the extent of blaming Raj’s blunder and her inability to answer her question. They haven’t realized that Raj’s the first Filipino woman who made it to the semi finals in eleven (11) years. They’ve (BPCI) sent several intellectuals before. Some are from UP Diliman but they weren’t even called to the semi’s. So, mga kababayan, be contented and be happy for what Raj has brought the Philippines. As for the BPCI, you’ve already discovered the formula on what kind of girl who will make the semi finals. I think MUO’s looking for that exotic Filipino woman, skinny as in bone skin (anorexic beauty), supermodel potential and of course very tall.
AbNoynoy has no Leadership Quality
The AbNoynoy Administration failed miserably on its first test – Quirino Grandstand Hostage Taking. You’ll notice that despite having three Press Secretaries, the Malacañang did not even give any statement while the hostage taking was on going. Maybe they did by saying that it was an isolated incident but that’s unacceptable since the incident involved foreign nationals. Although majority of the country did not vote for P-AbNoynoy, they expected so much from him. He could have issued a statement on national TV saying that the incident will be dealt with immediately.
What went wrong? The DILG Secretary says that he’s not in charge of the PNP. It turned out that Undersecretary Puno is. Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim gave conflicting orders. The media is everywhere and nobody’s controlling them. The irony of it all, ABiaS CBN issued a statement that they comply with the orders to turn off their lightings, though they did not turned off their cameras. How come the Police insisted on forcibly arresting the brother of the hostage taker? HK Authorities kept on calling Malacañang but can’t reach P-AbNoynoy for some reasons. P-AbNoynoy only showed up at around 2AM to the crime scene and was so happy that he kept on smiling. Heck, he doesn’t even care that by smiling, he’s offending the HK authorities.
It’s been weeks since the hostage crisis. I’ve seen the hypocrites (Aquino Sisters) praying and offering wreaths at the ground zero of the hostage taking. My friend D and I were not in Manila so we missed the opportunity of photo ops at the ground zero with the bus as the background. We could have posted it (the picture) as our profile photo in our facebook accounts, just like how some members of the PNP did.
The blame game is on and I know who to blame, it’s our incompetent president P-AbNoynoy. He has no managerial skills and was voted only because he’s the son of Ninoy and Cory and his hatred for Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. He doesn’t even have a platform of government. If you don’t have a platform, you don’t have a vision and if you don’t have a vision, how could you govern? His first SONA is the major example of that. The Yellow zombies and the corrupt people (particularly the LP) around him should not make any excuses.
Where’s Gloria? Well, the critics and the Yellow Zombies are looking for Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. They could blame her for everything. I’ve actually heard some of the suckers around P-AbNoynoy blaming former president GMA for the hostage taking. LOL.
Approximately three (3) months after the presidential election, we realized that no matter how we dislike our special president, he’s here to stay. Three months on, the reality has sunk in and we have no other to blame but ourselves.
