Living in the City

The Reproductive Health Bill must be passed. It is long overdue. PNoy must stand pat his position. Couples must be given the choice to choose what family planning method is applicable to their needs. Whether it is  natural method  or  artificial, every family must be given the right the right to choose what they need, without the threat of ex-communicationit. Fact is the Philippines must curb its population growth rate. Reasons are pretty obvious - the country's resources are no longer sustainable because there's too many mouths to feed, not to mention problems with sanitation , health  and housing needs.

Usec Rico Puno Revisited The new government of PNoy carries the burden of Usec Rico Puno's  alleged  involvement with government wrongdoings.  First, with the recent hostage taking fiasco double whammying with jueteng payola. But as I post this, I hear over the radio that Senate President Enrile says everything revealed by ArchBishop's list is hearsay... that the Senate is no longer interested in investigating the personalities. For his part Usec Puno is said to be filing his courtesy resignation as soon as PNoy comes back from his US trip. Along with so many people, we ask.. why not irrevocable resignation.

What's with these PNoy boys? Blabbering things they don't realize might hurt Noynoy and his Presidency. Hear USEC Rico Puno say that as early as 2:00 PM PNoy was suggesting  that maybe he should go and talk to hostage taker, Mendoza to warn  him of the damage he was causing. But was  prevailed upon. Reason - protocol.. har Why does he need to say these? What good will it do? Does it help clear things up? Or do exactly otherwise? And what's with Sec Robredo? It's said that he accepted the DILG post on the condition that he will just take on the local government part alone. Does one accept a cabinet post to do only the things one wants to do?  I think for the country's sake they both should go.
