Let's learn about.......alert levels.

Before we go to our blog post today, narito po ang isang malinaw na patunay na may kakayahang ngumiti ang isang aso. Titigang mabuti........

 

Kayo na po ang humusga sa **** ito!

If you know the news about the activity of the Mayon Volcano, it is now in Alert Level 4. Pero marami pa rin ang nagtatanong kung bakit may Alert Level?.

Here's a guide on why we have Alert Levels.

Alert Level	Criteria	Interpretation
1	Monitoring of visual, seismicity and other volcanic event do not indicate changes.	No eruption in foreseeable future.
2	Increasing activity of seismicity and other volcanic events, and visual changes around the crater.	Magmatic, tectonic or hydrothermal disturbance, no eruption imminent.
3	Intensively increasing of seismicity with supported by other volcanic monitoring, obvious changes of visual observation and crater. based on observation data analysis, the activity will be followed by main eruption.	If trend of increasing unrest continues, eruption possible within 2 weeks.
4	Following the main eruption, the initial eruption begin to occur as ash and vapor. Based on observation data analysis, the activity will be followed by main eruption.	Eruption possible within 24 hours.

Ok. yan lang po ang pinaka-simpleng explanasyon tungkol sa mga Alert Levels. Ang dapat lang tandaan: mag-ingat at maging ligtas. Enjoy the holidays!

The Judge, The Child and The super-special xmas party!

Before i go to the judge and the child, let i have my experience during my christmas party. 

 It was an exciting xmas party because it is the last for my high school years. Masaya, kasi dito makikita mo ang talagang kasiyahan. May games, gimik, foods, kantahan, sayawan and also, hindi pwedeng pahuhuli ang mga gifts!. At pagkatapos ng lahat, ayan na, goodbye na!. Magkikita-kita na naman kami sa bagong taon!.

I hope that if you will read this, you will also share your thoughts on your christmas party.

Advance Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!.

And now, for the judge.

If you hear the news about the raffle for the judge that will handle the multiple murder cases for Andal Ampatuan jr., the primary suspect for Maguindanao Massacre. Well, it was won by Judge Luisito Cortez. But it was turned down by him due to fears for him and his family security.

Marami nga ang bumatikos dito. Hindi kasi tinupad ni Judge Cortez ang kanyang sinumpaang tungkulin bilang Judge. At isa pa, bakit dahil pa seguridad ang kanyang palusot kung bakit umatras siya sa kaso. Eh di ba may mga security escorts na kukuha pa sa kanya. Bahala na nga.

Magkagayon man, nagpa-raffle ulit ang Supreme Court. At ito'y napunta kay Judge Jocelyn Solis-Reyes, mula sa Branch 221 ng Quezon City Regional Trial Court. And even she declines to have security escorts for her. Buti pa siya, matapang!. Good luck girl!. Ipakirta mo na kahit babae, malalampasan mo itong bagong pagsubok na haharapin mo.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And now, for the child. 

Another witness testifies for the series of mass murders in the Maguindanao Province.

"Abdul" says that he was 12 when he started to kill people by ex-ARMM governor Zaldy Ampatuan. Mismo ang mga Ampatuan ang nagpa-aral sa kanya mula Grade 4 to 3rd year high school. And this is shocking, he killed 100 people by the orders of the Ampatuan.

Teka lang, bakit ganon?. Mga bata, dinandamay sa mga masasamang gawain?!.

Here's for the Ampatuans: Backhoe!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Be safe in Albay because the Mayon Volcano is getting nasty!. At sapilitang evacuation ang ginagawa ngayon para -maka-iwas sa pagyanig ng bulkan!. Be safe!.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And now, for the Photo of the Weak!

Ang tanong:  Ano ang angkop na deskripsyon, pamagat, o caption sa larawang ito?

A: “Teka lang, teka lang. ‘Wag n’yo na ‘kong kunan. Baka sabihin naman nila, gumigimik lang ako.”
B: “At least puwede ‘ko itong gawin. Si pinsang Noynoy, delikado. Masamang dumikit sa sanggol ang amoy sigarilyo.”
C: “Kapag ‘di pa naman nag-double digit ang rating ko nito, ewan ko na lang.”
D: Lahat ng nagiging trapo ay nagsisimula sa mga eksenang ganito.

You choose. You decide. Vote na!.

Living Dangerously

In the aftermath of unfortunate events like Maguindanao Massacre, Agusan Hostage Crisis and Jailbreak in Basilan, we are now saying that the Philippines is now a dangerous country. Even if democracy is now prevailing after the 1986 EDSA Revolution.

In these events, we seem to be in danger.

Ngayo'y tayo humaharap sa mga matitinding hamon ng mga pangyayaring di kanais-nais sa imahe ng ating pagiging malaya, delikado na ang sitwasyon ngayon. Walang pinipili ang mga idadamay. Takot na tayong malagay sa mga alanganging sitwasyon.

We shall be very careful in this time. At sana, maging ligtas tayo uli. At sana'y hindi na mauulit ito sa mga susunod na panahon.
