We cannot expect anything from Arroyo's policy on tackling our population problem.we all know she's a devote catholic and being one,she will definitely say no to artificial birth control.It's up to congress to do something about it.If the senate acts the better.The Catholic church in the Philippines to be fair has been consistent on it's teachings.So it's really up to the govt. to decide.Is it for the people's right to decide for themselves or to follow the catholic teaching.Meanwhile,more & more poor kids go hungry and if they survive this,become criminals and menace to filipino society.(Thanks jdj92088 for your pic)

Philippine Football Federation (PFF) is launching a new football league in a few weeks time.Apparently will be called Premiere League.We should not expect too much from this but it will be a good start for reviving the sagging popularity of the game we filipinos should be playing.I'm not sure about the leagues name,but again it's better than nothing. (I meant the football league)I do hope the Younghusbands will play in the league because football needs poster boys to heighten curiosity among ordinary pinoys who I think is unfamiliar with football already.PFF specially needs the support of media if they actually aim to be successful this time.Goodluck to PFF,goodluck to Philippine football.(Thanks Pinoy Soccer for the pics.)

With the soaring cost of gas prices.Mass transport is again put into perspective.Specially here in the Philippines,were our mode of mass transport is stuck in the 40's,in the form of jeepneys.With a govt. who has no political will to change long percieved wrong ways.The masses will bear the brunt as usual,while govt. officials shake their heads inside their air-conditioned 4x4 cars,contemplating an alternative shorter picnic for their family.We should have turned to railway for mass transport a long time ago,but alas,our penchant to copy the american way of life which is to travel by car is now proving to be a major mistake.Is it late? I don't know,but I pray someone in that Arroyo govt. has got some sense still and insist that trains is the way for us as far as mass transport is concerned.
