When he assumed presidency, President Benigno Aquino 3rd blamed the past administration for failing to make the Filipino people at ease with the government.
Today, two years and two state of the nation addresses after, the Aquino administration has managed to lessen self-rated hunger from 20.5% last March 2010 to 15.1% this June 2011. Confidence of rating agencies and investors has increased, and there were already 31 human trafficking cases filed, deleting us from the Tier 2 Watchlist of the Trafficking in Persons Report.
Bills that would make the Philippines self-sustaining were turned into laws. Former Supreme Court Justice Conchita Carpio-Morales was proclaimed Ombudsman.
Some students can now avail scholarships through the Department of Science and Technology. The necessary jobs will also be studied so that these students can prefer to work here.
The country will build another power plant in Luzon in 2014. Government institutions such as the Bureau of Corrections, the National Bureau of Investigation, the National Electrification Administration, and the National Broadcasting Network will be strengthened.
His administration would also continue fighting for the Recto Bank, which was the Reed Bank in international circles renamed after the late senator and Filipino nationalist Claro M. Recto.
But…
For the second time, PNoy did not mention the overseas Filipino workers (OFWs). Does this means that he does not intend for the ‘trend’ of seeking fortune abroad go on in his administration or does it suggest the seemingly deliberate lack of attention of his administration to OFWs?
No public-private partnership project has also been bidden out yet. Nearly half of the new jobs created were in the agriculture sector, which are “low-paying, part-time and poorly productive,” and hardly the jobs the Filipinos will choose over going abroad.
The Libyan civil war still rages on. What would happened to those who were repatriated? What had happened to those who preferred to stay? There is unrest in Syria. There is economic crisis in Europe. There is the US dollar that continues to devalue.
What became clear, though, is his quest to combat corruption. Aquinomics, Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima explained, ‘is about good governance.’ It has four pillars: fiscal sustainability and macro-economic stability, reduction of the infrastructure gap, reduction of the cost of doing businesst
This was why the government was proud that the total expenditure this year lessened (from 3.5 percent in 2010 to 3.0 percent of GDP this year). This was why he lauded Sec. Rogelio “Babes” Lazo Singson of the Department of Public Works and Highways for eliminating patronage politics. This was why the doling out of P1,400 a month to poor Filipino families was a big deal.
Those seen in his inauguration as president were present during his second SONA except for Prospero Nograles, former Speaker of the House.

The Philippines as a singular noun
Several of our forefathers had fought against foreign invaders. A number of them were not even mentioned in our history books. Nevertheless, the succeeding generations were aware what they blessed us with: our country’s independence.
That independence involves our right to govern ourselves. We can vote our own leaders. We can decide on the system we prefer. We can choose what to do with our lives. We can love or die.
It is, therefore, a grievous offense for writers to regard the country as a plural noun. In a business article encouraging public and private sectors to work together, the word ‘Philippines’ assumed plurality.
If this was just simply a case of grammar overlook, the Philippine Daily Inquirer must enlighten the people that read it every day. The Philippines had started to actively fight for the Recto Bank. Why not stand against what must the country be addressed to as well?

Philippines urged to leverage key competencies
Instead of complaining about how the Philippines tend to rank low in various competitiveness surveys, both the public and private sectors should consider collaborating to capitalize on the country’s key competencies and address inadequacies.

Son's and Daughter's Day
We honor mothers every second Sunday of May, and fathers every third Sunday of June. How about giving merit to sons and daughters as well?
Science had found that the human body is composed of cells consisting chromosomes that carry DNA containing genes. During copulation, 23 unpaired chromosomes (from the sperm cells of a man and the egg cells of a woman) mutate to form an embryo.
Besides, there cannot be mothers and fathers without sons and daughters. Why hasn’t anyone thought of that?
In celebration
What the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) did could be the start.
In its "Operation Roll Down, Baby," MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino asked to ‘roll down’ some 46 billboards along EDSA deemed violating the National Building Code.
Six operators complied.
Those who did not were issued with notices of violation. They were also given 15 days to correct what they failed to do.
The Outdoor Advertising Association of the Philippines commended the MMDA of their plan. The latter had already filed 10 criminal complaints against the violators who, some of them, have no building permits as well.
Pilipina Ako does not think it was wrong for Mayor Benhur Abalos to order a billboard showing men wearing nothing but underwear pulled down. It’s not being prudish. It’s just being responsible. Why has the quest for decency became a tough question for Art?

China's investment in electric cars
Mark your calendars: China has chosen to gamble $1.5 billion (P64.95 billion) in its auto industry over the next 10 years, and see electric cars on its roads by 2015.
Talk about the biggest bet waged in the history of auto industry.
A bet because only the world's leading car makers can compete in a market accustomed to ‘learning’ from western technology. BMW, which is the world's most sustainable car company (Dow Jones Sustainability Index), already has some 300 engineers working on a technology (hydrogen-powered cars) that could supplant electric cars one day. It could also make cars—such as the 2012 BMW 1 Series—that saves more energy than fossil-fuel burning cars produced by its rival car makers.
Most Chinese cannot afford to buy a car of any kind, too. So the bet will depend whether the government will release the brakes on its economy or it will impose old-style communist regulations. Alpha Lujo, for instance, makes low-cost electric cars that cost $18,000. It would export to Australia sometime later in the year, meeting safety standards that could also pass in the United States and Europe.
So until a full scale demand for clean cars is more clearly established, the Chinese electronic-vehicle sector will remain a gamble, a choice between the Alpha Lujo and the BMW.
The Philippine connection
A little over three months ago, Ismael Aviso, 54, is known only through a couple of YouTube videos showing a stationary, skeletal-looking car with an engine fed with power from a box of capacitors and a thick, horizontal antenna.
Today, the mineral water businessman and electric car inventor from Navotas City is also featured in the Pure Energy Systems Wiki (PESWiki) who considered him as ‘the next big thing in green technology.’
“Nations all over the world are making a stake on electricity-powered cars. Pinoy e-car technology is better, cheaper and more efficient. We should not be left out; instead of importing this technology, we must employ this know-how to build our own e-cars and sell it to the world.”
Petroleum-guzzling vehicles can turn into electric through repackaging this fuel-less car invention into a conversion kit. But that is if ‘the Philippine government can help [Aviso] gain an easy way to get a huge loan from a bank’ to help him ‘focus on producing conversion kits.’
Another Filipino inventor, Gerry Caroro, built eight prototypes of “G Car,” which costs as little as P280,000, in his West Avenue workshop in QC.
The first kind runs on a 48-volt, deep cycle-type battery that could only consume about P40 worth of electricity when plugged to a 220-volt power source for eight hours. The car can then cover up to 80 km.
Another can ‘seat two persons in front and two more at the back’ and ‘could go for a maximum of 40 kph’—perfect for short rides.
There is also a model that can run on both battery and gasoline, and another one on solar energy that has solar panels installed on the vehicle’s roof.
Inspired by the Philippine Eagle, G Cars have front hoods in beak-shaped pattern and doors that swing open at an angle like wings.
Only support
Filipino inventions can get only P178,000 funding ‘given every November to celebrate National Inventors Week (NIW).’
“Obviously, this is not enough [that] is why a lot of my colleagues were forced to seek support from abroad,” Ronald Talion, spokesperson of the Filipino Inventors Society, lamented.
In collaboration with the Quezon City Parks Development Foundation Inc., the G Cars can be ridden inside the Quezon Memorial Circle for P30 per lap.

The future of electric cars, it seems, relies not only on whether their purchase and use will catch on, but also on how good the car batteries can become: how much power they can hold, and for how long, has long been the technology's main stumbling point. GM's plans to build a lithium-ion battery plant in Michigan to assemble battery packs could presage a new technology race among the big three and companies in nations like India and China to see who can first build the battery that will make affordable, long-driving electric cars a reality. ~http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1871282,00.html

A Year After
Ronald Singson, 42, congressman of the First District of Ilocos Sur, was found to have with him 6.7 grams of cocaine* and two tablets of diazepam** at the Customs Arrival Hall of Chek Lap Kok International Airport this day and month last year.
His father, Gov. Luis "Chavit" Singson of Ilocos Sur, insisted, though, that his son is not a drug user. "He uses pills. He's been hospitalized several times. When he has attacks he can't sleep, that's why he had 2 pills [of Valium]. Those pills were issued by his doctor. That's the only thing he uses."
The old Singson also claimed that his son was only framed by political enemies and business competitors.
His fellow lawmakers were less forgiving, however. Rep. Milagros Magsaysay of Zambales implied that ‘[Congressman Singson] should do the honorable thing of stepping down,’ which, Rep. Toby Tiangco of Navotas deemed as a sign of delicadeza (sense of propriety).
The current chairman of the house committee on justice, Rep. Niel Tupas Jr. of Iloilo, on the other hand, quoted the Constitution, which empowers the Lower House ‘to discipline its member.’
"Madadamay ang reputasyon ng Kamara. Masisira ang image ng House. It will not be a popular decision if this is just let go without doing anything. The institution will suffer," Former Muntinlupa congressman Ruffy Biazon said.
But the ‘case isn't finished yet,’ Gov. Singson countered. “Tapusin ang kaso saka tanggalin kung gusto nila [congressmen]". His son will just plead guilty to the charge of drug trafficking as a “legal strategy” their family lawyer, John Reading, thought of.
Ronald Singson is a concert promoter, and the owner of Channel V, a cable music station. He is the boyfriend Lovi Poe, an entertainment personality.
He spent his childhood in their province, but moved to Hillside Loop, Blueridge, Quezon City when he studied in the Ateneo de Manila University. He took Bachelor of Science in Business Administration major in Management at the De La Salle University in college.
He was referred to as “the little governor” of Ilocos Sur, keeping in mind his family’s mantra: to prevail in favor to what is moral even if this would mean bargaining their security at stake.
Before being senator, Ronald Singson headed the Satrap Construction Co. Inc., and managed the Superb Security and Investigation. He realized, though, that he could help more if he would not restrict himself ‘into the call of establishing competitive entrepreneurships.’ He served the Sangguniang Panlalawigan in Ilocos Sur for six years before running for the 2007 elections as representative in the first district of Ilocos Sur.
During the first year and seven months of his term, he focused on information revolution through upgraded technology, cyber education, e-commerce, water irrigation, agricultural, food security, and peace and order. He is the chairman of the Sub Committee on Oversight, and the vice chairman of the Committee on Public Works and Highways. Singson is also a member of the committees on appropriations, natural resources, national defense and security, ways and means, economic affairs, games and amusement, agriculture and food, and on aqua-culture and fisheries.

But then, it is simply wrong for human beings to harm themselves. It is also highly unjustifiable to compromise the country’s reputation and security. Just what could non-government Filipinos do that Ronald Singson could not given the resources he has? Our airport officials should look into this.
Last February 24, Ronald Singson was sentenced to imprisonment for one year and six months. His sentence was handed down by Judge Joseph Yau of the Wanchai District Court who himself did not believe that the congressman planned to sell the drugs.
He would be serving two years and four months in prison had he not pleaded guilty. Singson’s good behavior while in Hong Kong, his 40-day custody, and philanthropic efforts for his constituents lighten the sentence.
House Speaker Feliciano “Sonny” Belmonte ordered for his removal from the list of congressmen. He also asked the house committee on suffrage to form a resolution that would enable a special election in the former congressman’s district.

A Mayor's Wrath
Just as when an intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) resulting in a thunderstorm plagued Mindanao—particularly in Surigao, Agusan, and Davao—a court sheriff insisted on the demolition of houses in Barangay Soliman, Agdao, Davao.
This angered Mayor Sara Duterte. She hit Sheriff Abe Andres in his left eye, and punched him for three times more in his face.
Andres explained that he was just doing his job. Judge Emmanuel Carpio of the Regional Trial Court (Branch 16) had supported Jaime Uy of the Davao Enterprise Corporation. The lot in Barangay Soliman must be cleared.
The United Settlers Association appealed the court order. Its lawyer was not able to file the motion, though, until the day of the demolition itself.
So the demolition team advanced. The residents put up a fight. There was a court order. There were 217 families who would lose shelter in the midst of flash floods and rain.
Mayor Duterte asked the demolition team to suspend the execution of the court order for at least two more hours. As the officer-in-charge of Davao, she is duty-bound to control its executive and administrative functions; enforce its laws and ordinances; safeguard its property and rights; ensure collection of taxes; protect its interest; see that its other employees perform their duties; examine its records at least once a year; recommend measures; represent it; and deliberate over the appropriateness of a petition, complaint, or claim, among others. The demolition would just bring bloodshed.
Andres insisted on carrying out the notice of eviction to avoid suspension. Three years ago, he got suspended for ‘failing to live up to the standards required of his position’ in line with the Republic Act 3019.
Businessman Kenneth Hao had complained against him after Andres seized nine motor vehicles ‘accompanied by unidentified armed personnel on board a military vehicle’. He was finally charged negligent and careless in July 8, 2008.
Both then were just doing their job. Some might not agree with how Mayor Duterte protected her people; some might not agree with how Sheriff Andres performed his job. But the issue is more about the judicial process in the country, and how its people obey its laws.
