Satur Ocampo: Prinsipyo Paninindigan Puso

Satur C. Ocampo was born on April 7, 1939 in Sta. Rita, Pampanga to a family of landless tenant farmers.

He is married to Carolina “Bobbie” Malay, a writer and professor of journalism. He has four children and three grandchildren.

Ocampo has been Pesident of Bayan Muna since 1999, and led the party in the elections for party-list in 2001, 2004, and 2007.

Bayan Muna consistently topped the party-list race. Three Bayan Muna-sponsored bills, the Overseas Voting Act, Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act, and Strengthening the Public Attorney’s Office Act have been enacted into law.

In 2005, the progressive bloc of Bayan Muna, Anakpawis and Gabriela Women’s Party broke away from the House majority. Ocapo has since been elected as a Deputy Minority Leader, and remains the acknowledged leader of the progressive bloc.

He is a principal author of the law abolishing the death penalty. He has authored bills penalizing torture and enforced disappearances, the Marcos human rights victims compensation bill, command responsibility bill, and measures controlling oil prces, developing the rice industry and many others.

As a key opposition figure, Ocampo has survived thus far a sustained government campaign of political repression against his party and himself.

In 2007, he won the dismissal by the Supreme Court of a trumped-up rebellion charge, and bail also by the Supreme Court on trumped-up charges of multiple murder. The Inter-Parliamentary Union and parliamentarians worldwide have taken cognizance of these cases, and have urged the Philippine government to stop the campaign of brutal repression against Ocampo and the legal Left.

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...

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...

Ano Ba Ang Oligarchy

Sumambulat na naman sa bokabularyo ng maraming Filipino ang salitang oligarchy, oligarch, o sa atin pa ay oligarkiya, oligarko. Subukan mo lang pumunta sa Facebook at Twitter. Maraming balita, status, at comments ang bumabanggit ng salitang oligarch o oligarchy. Minsan mapapaisip tayo kung tunay nga bang naiintindihan ng mga tao ang mga terminolohiyang ito. Sa punto de bista ng political science, hindi simple ang pakahulugan sa oligarkiya. Marami itong sanga-sangang depenisyon. Magkagayunman, nakatutuwang makita ang tumataas na interes ng mga tao sa konsepto ng oligarchy / oligarkiya. Pansinin ang screenshot galing sa Google Trends. Makikita ang biglang paghirit ng interes sa search term na oligarchy noong mga nakaraang araw. Marahil dahil na rin ito sa pahayag ng panggulo ng Pilipinas na nabuwag na niya ang oligarkiya kahit walang Martial Law. Nagbunyi ang iba; ang iba nama’y napakamot ang ulo. Kaya pumunta sila sa Google para magsearch kung ano ba talaga ang ibig sabihin ...
