Arroyo Guns for Congress, Draws Barrage of Criticism

The decision of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to run for the 2nd Congressional District of Pampanga drew fiery criticisms from several sectors. 

I'm amused by the decision of the president, but well, The Madame from Malacañang has always been amusing, or I should say - annoying.

I compiled several flowery criticisms that were hurled against her. Here they are:

Roman Catholic Archbishop Emeritus Oscar Cruz: “addiction to power.”

Jaro Archbishop Angel Lagdameo: "I wholeheartedly suggest she give others a chance to serve and not give in to the temptation of power.”

Sen. Manuel “Mar” Roxas II: "Her ultimate goal is to become House Speaker and ram through her burning desire to change the Constitution."

Sen. Francis Escudero: “it surely leaves a bad taste in the mouth.”

Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel Jr: “sets a horrible example for politicians to follow,”

Bayan Muna party-list Rep. Satur Ocampo : “The main burden there would be on the voters.”

Bayan Muna Rep. Teodoro Casiño: “She is drunk with power and can’t get enough. I think she needs professional help.”

Rep Casiño may have hit the nail right smack on the head!

HOW TO MAKE MALUNGGAY TEA | HOMEMADE MORINGA TEA

Paano Ba Gumawa ng Tsaang Malunggay / Homemade Moringa Tea Karaniwan nang makita ang puno ng malunggay sa mga bakuran ng bahay, lalo na sa mga probinsya. Madali kasi itong itanim at patubuin. Hindi rin nangangailangan ng matinding pag-aalaga ang punong ito. Kahit iwan mo lang at diligan paminsan-minsan ay yayabong na siya nang kusa. Sa mga palengke, limang piso hanggang sampung piso ang isang bungkos ng dahon ng malunggay. Dito sa amin, pupunta lang kami sa likod bahay at pipitas ng dahon. Ayos na. Puwede na magluto ng sinabawang ulam na may malunggay. Tulad ng ibang gulay, maraming mabuting naidudulot sa kalusugan ang dahon ng malunggay. Maganda itong ipainom sa may sakit, sa mga sinisipon, sa mga may lagnat. Marami na rin kasing pag-aaral na nagpapatunay na nakatutulong ang malunggay sa pagpapalakas ng katawan. Kaya naman naisipan kong gumawa ng tsaa gamit ang dahon ng malunggay. Madali lang naman gawin ito. Kukuha ka lang ng dahon at patutuyuin. Dudurugin ang pinatuyong daho...

Remembering Jesusa Teodoro Martin (My beloved Lola Nena...)

Today is the 106th birthday of my favorite Lola, Lola Nena.  I am posting here a reprint from our Martin Clan Book about Lola Nena. Lola Nena died when I was in 4th grade, that was way back in 1984.  But I always have vivid memories of her (Lola Nena always cooked sweet delights for us)  Here's the reprint I'm talking about.  I think this was written by my cousin Mayo Uno and his Tatay, my favorite Tito Boy. (Excerpts from the Martin-Teodoro Aklat Angkan...): NENA Jesusa was born on January 19, 1903 in Tondo, Manila . Like Dominador, she was the youngest of two children by Santiago Naguit Teodoro ("Iliong") of Bulacan and Elena dela Cruz ("Enang") of Tondo. The eldest was Sergio ("Ikong"). Jesusa was only six when her mother passed away so her aunt Petra ("Pitang"), sister of her father, brought up the two children up. Santiago 's second wife, Leonora Pantanilla ("Nena"), produced six more children:...

Untitled I

It's not about knowing you when we were there, wandering, in gardens of youthful freedom. What matters is that I've known you, as you are. It's not about seeing you transformed in full splendor palpably radiant and  blinding mortal  eyes. What matters is that I’ve seen you, as you are. It’s not about hearing you, angelic rhythm of imagined voices  wallowing in bitter-sweet laughter. What matters is that I’ve heard you, as you are. It is not about touching you in the deepest  recesses of your uncharted nakedness, utterly lost  in the celebration  of your beauty and passion. What matters most is that I’ve touched you, as you are. It is not about feeling your stormy thoughts and calm contemplations though these are far constellations reached only by stellar signals. What matters most is that I’ve felt you, as you are. ‘Tis not about loving you, sweet rose-p...
