PACQUIAO LOSS SILENCED, STUNNED FILIPINO BOXING FANS

Dec. 9, 2012

Like the GOP in the last presidential election, Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao didn’t see the perfect counter punch coming.Just as Pacquiao was about to clinch another round, Marquez floored him with a right hand.

“I got hit by a punch I didn’t see.” Pacquiao admits.

Ok so much for the technical stuff. It was a great fight. Both boxers went down meaning they are as close equals at could be. “Luck” or “karma” maybe a factor. Psychological and spiritual preparation might prove decisive.

“Every battle is won or lost before it is ever fought.” Sun Tzu Art of War (722-481BC)

I say again from Sun Tzu:   “Every battle is won or lost before it is ever fought.”

While Congressman Manny Pacquiao and his friends in House of Rep. were preparing for the fight, more than 500 bodies were being recovered from the ANNUAL typhoon-induced mudslide, in Pacquao’s own Mindanao Island. But the Philippine Congress was busy with the fight so they could not be bothered. (See Photo)

On Friday, Dec. 7, 2012 LA Times reported: “More than 500 people are reported dead and hundreds more remain missing after Typhoon Bopha slammed into the archipelago this week. The storm weakened after it struck the south, but has rebounded as it veers northward, now as strong as a Category 4 hurricane.”

How the heck do you think LUCK will allow this Filipino congressman-boxer to win?

Now if Pacquiao is NOT a member of the Philippine Congress, which is not exactly the most honorable and respected congress in the world, a pious man, he could pray to God for victory that he might help his fellow Mindanaoans, do you think God will answer his prayers?

Ironically Mitt Romney  who didn’t see Obama’s victory coming, gave Manny Pacquiao a pep talk before the fight.

My unsolicited advice to Manny Pacquiao is to consider leaving Philippine politics. You have already given Filipinos so much honor and pride a 10 million Filipino men and women could not give in their entire lifetimes. Focus on your boxing career, you do not belong in Philippine politics. There are other ways you can help the Philippines. Being a congressman or in politics is not one of them.

Pearl Harbor Revisited

December 7, 2012

It’s a good time to revisit Pearl Harbor on its 71st anniversary of the attack that started America’s official involvement in World War II.

FDR declared the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor “A day that will live in infamy.” Because the Japanese ambassador Nomura delivered the notice breaking off relations with the U.S. after the attack has been carried out.

This angered and roused the American people majority of which were isolationists who did not want to be involved in the war already raging in Europe for over two years. They did not care about the survival of England or the U.S.S.R. (Russia). World War II is the only war the American people unanimously supported.

The Japanese military was demoralized when they found out the attack on Pearl Harbor was launched before war was declared, unlike the wars with Russia (1904) and China (1937). They realized they will be fighting a dishonorable war and therefore it was almost impossible to win.

In the summer of 1939 Russia inflicted a stinging defeat on Japan in a war along the Manchurian-Mongolian border. Russia was looking for payback for their 1905 humiliating defeat. This would influence Japanese militarists’ decision to attack Pearl Harbor.

Up until six months before the Pearl Harbor attack, FDR has been in communication with the Emperor of Japan.  When Hitler invaded Russia on June 22, 1941, perhaps inspired by Fascists victory in the Spanish Civil War under Franco, Tojo and the Japanese militarists, decided to cut off the Emperor’s communications with FDR and started preparations for the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Pacific war.

It would have made a big difference if Japan broke off relations with the U.S. and then attack Pearl Harbor. Japanese morale would have been very high because it is an honorable war they are fighting.

As David Krieger of Nuclear Age Peace Foundation would remind us time and again, Japan is still the only country to suffer not one but two nuclear attacks.  Prime Minister Tojo and many Japanese officers were tried, convicted and executed as war criminals for waging an aggressive and tenacious war necessitating the use of nuclear bombs.

Gen. Douglas MacArthur – Betrayed – Part 3

What we missed. There is this photo with a caption: “Just in case people forget, there are Amazing soldiers standing at the Tomb even through hurricanes. . . ”

Here’s the thing, how come there NEVER has been a Philippine Liberation Parade EVER? How come few, if any, roads, bridges, parks, rivers have ever been named for Douglas MacArthur?

It turned out the modern Makati was the idea of Lt. Col. Joseph R. McMicking. Yet the streets, boulevards, parks and buildings in Makati & Metro Manila are named after Aquinos, Ayala’s, Zobel’s, Roxas’ and others.

And not a single thing was named after McMicking?Below is the video of Guam’s 68th Liberation Day Parade 2012. Where are the photos & videos of parades in the Philippines? NONE. WHY! Something terribly wrong here.

This is why we need the Philippine History Re-education Project.

“EACH YEAR in the weeks leading up to July 21st, Guam CELEBRATE THEIR LIBERATION from the Japanese With local carnivals, feasting and fireworks.”

Today is the 5th death anniversary of Mariannet Amper. At a young age of 12 she has already lost hope and committed suicide by hanging herself.
Is this what American soldiers fought and died for in World War II when we liberated the Philippines? Did we turn the Filipinos over to traitors and quislings who never even said “Thank you”?
At age 12 she lost hope and committed suicide on Nov. 02, 2007

So how did Filipino oligarchs started? Here’s a clue.

Oligarch-traitor Roxas becomes president of the 3rd Philippine Republic

Manuel Roxas died on April 15, 1948, two and half months after signing Proclamation 51 granting amnesty to all oligarch-traitors, quislings and collaborators.

Elipidio Quirino Roxas’ vice president took over. Here’s what he did.
