So who are your choice for the top blogs?
I stand on the very basic tenets of any religion, and those are 1. "religion must brings us to the divine" not to condemn any group, ethnicity, gender. 2. encouraged faith to a divine power. 3. proliferate love and forgiveness. I am consciously and subconsciously aware that homosexuality and its practices will never be accepted by any religion on earth. NO DEBATE on this. However, the issue of the matter is LIFE. Must I live a life of chastity because it is dictated or self-regulated? To believe in heaven and hell requires faith. My believe of GOD is being aware that there is a greater power above us all.
Most religions at large condemns the LGBT. I accept that. No argument. But in the angle of "humanity" I have all the animal rights to protect myself from any type of persecutions and live what makes me happy. At the end no one has made a trip to heaven or hell, and back. Ang punto ko lang ay ito. Di ba pedeng kung di tanggap ang buhay ng mga katulad ko, wag namang tawaging immoral o makasalanan. Lahat tayo may kwento sa buhay. We cannot impose morality to anyone, that is only to ourselves. Morality or the absence of such is a choice.
But how do we define morality? Religiously? Society? The Constitution? The Bill of Rights, or the Magna Carta from whence it came from? Morality is dual. Moral dualism is the belief of the great complement or conflict between the benevolent and the malignant. It simply implies that there are two moral opposites at work, independent of any interpretation of what might be "moral" and independent of how these may be represented. The moral opposites might, for example exist in a world view which has one god, more than one god, or none. By contrast, ditheism or bitheism implies (at least) two gods. Bitheism implies harmony, ditheism implies rivalry and opposition, such as between good and evil, or bright and dark, or summer and winter. For example, a ditheistic system would be one in which one god is creative, the other is destructive. We can discuss this deeper. But I am not a Theologian. I will not pretend to be.
At the end, this is what I believe: I believe God is divine. He is the greater power that governs us all. What is written of him, about him, is man's perception of HIM. What he dislikes or likes is also man's perception. God hasn't came down to write all Holy Books. If God governs us all, he governs us with logic. We do not have the right to condemn anyone's perception of God. To live LIFE is to live in happiness and love. If we are to live through what is written, as harsh as this may sound, there will be no living at all. I am ready to face God anytime. If he judged me to go to hell I will. But I have to tell this to God before I will journey to hell. God; you created me the way I am? Did you expect me to live otherwise?
Not to add insult to injury, God did not give us religion. He gifted us with faith. If this is not an accurate statement. There should have been ONE religion on earth. So the key is respect, tolerance, love, and acceptance.

After watching the video where Mayor Binays convoy was not allowed to exit through one of its gates on November 30, all I can say is a complete abuse of authority. Mayor of Makati, Binay Jr. is a disgusting and arrogant public official. All should be smart not to vote these traditional politicians, the Binay dynasty to office again. They are punishing people for doing their jobs. Dasmarinas Village has their own rule being followed by high-profile residents. The village is also home to prominent government officials, many embassies, and other known celebrities.
Seems like Mayor Binay, loves to point his dirty fingers at others. Is that what you call power tripping?
The guards who are just doing their jobs were treated with disrespect.
Why do you need guns for?
Look at Mayor's body guards pulling out their heavy guns. Do you really need an armalite to those village guards who are just doing their job and obviously not going to fight and whose firearms were already got confiscated.
Nancy Binay has her gun too, ready to fire.
Here is the video and it is up to you to take your side of a story.
Like Father Binay Like Son Binay. Here is the dad,Vice president Binay, who beat the traffic light. Beating the red light and turn left on a "no left turn road."
Mayor, so what did you accomplish after all? That they should know your face and kiss your ass. You did not expect that there is a video somewhere who will speak for the truth. Now, run along and hide under your fathers table.

Mar Roxas is the most hated politician in the Philippines today next to President Aquino, then Senator Enrile, the aleged mastermind on the PDAF scam, who also loves to play bejeweled during office hours. To think that Mar Roxas will run for presidential post on the next election and might win due to his connections, gives the Filipino people so much worries. Why are we going to allow these kind of people to run our country. No we don't want another incompetnt leader, enough is enough.
“Pauna ko na po ang paghingi ng paumanhin sa mga maka-Mar Roxas.
“Hindi lang ako mapakali dahil kahit saan ko tingnan ay mali ang kanyang katwiran.
“Walang dahilan para pahirapan at huwag tulungan ang mga pobreng nasalanta ng bagyo, kahit sino pang Pilato ang nakaupo—kalaban man o hindi.
“Kung galit sila sa mga Romualdez, dapat parusahan nila ang mga Romualdezes!
“Hindi kailangan ang legalidad bago nila tulungan ang mga tao!
“Pare-pareho tayong mga Pilipino!
“Nakalimutan na ba ni Mar Roxas ‘yan?
“Sobrang pumapapel sa presidente na kung tutuusin at kung siya ay may puso at tama kung mag isip... hindi po ba napakagandang halimbawa kung ora mismo ay tumulong siya sa kalabang partido, alang- alang sa mga nasalantang kababayan?!!!
“Eh ano kung Romualdez yun at Aquino ang Presidente?
“Hindi ba Presidente siya ng lahat? Hindi ba sabi niya "Boss" niya tayo?
“Sana tama na ang palusot. Huli na eh! Nasaan ba ang puso mo sir?
“I'm sure meron naman kaya lang mukhang tumigas na at naluto sa ambisyon.
“Alam n’yo po, walang pulitika sa langit. Dedma rin sa apelyido.
“Ang importante ay kung paano ka magpatawad, magpakumbaba at tumulong ng buong puso at kaluluwa, hindi dahil sa pera o dahil sa boto.
“Nakita n’yo naman ang mga pinagdaanan ng LAHAT na presidenteng inabot ko.
“Si Apo Marcos..napakatalino! Pero ano ang nangyari sa talino at dami ng pera?
“Hindi rin niya nadala ng mamamatay siya.
“Marcos baby po ako at siya ang unang presidenteng nakilala ko.
“Sumunod ay si Ramos. Mukha bang masaya? Hindi rin.
“Si Pres Cory Aquino na ang sumunod.
“Ano po ba ang ikinamatay? Old age? Hindi po ba cancer?
“Kahit naging presidente, kahit naging hero ang asawang si B. Aquino, hindi pa rin nakaligtas sa cancer!
“Tapos si Erap. Sikat na artista at mahal ng masa. Kaso pumalpak din. Kulong!
“Si Presidente Gloria Macapagal- Arroyo..nakakulong pa rin.
“Oh?.anong pruweba pa ba ang kailangan?
“Hindi ba kahit sino ka, kahit gaano ka ka powerful..kahit ano pa ang apelyido mo hindi ka lulusot???
“Sana po, kayong mga may kapangyarihang tumulong sa kapwa, bigyan ninyo ito ng tamang pagpapahalaga dahil hindi kailanman natutulog ang Dios.
“Gamitin ninyo ng tama ang kapangyarihan at perang hawak ninyo para mailigtas ninyo ang inyong mga kaluluwa sa pamamagitan din ng pagtulong sa mga nangangailangan.
“Tama na po ang gantihan ng gantihan. Maawa na kayo sa atin.
“Nakakahiya sa Dios at nakakahiya sa mga bansang tumutulong sa atin.
“Hindi po ako nagmamalinis o nagmamarunong.
“Marami din po akong kamalian pero malayong gawin ko ang mga ginagawa ninyong mga kabastusan at kahiya-hiyang pakikitungo sa inyong kapwa tao.
“Yun lang po.”

Josef Descalzo shared the picture on his Facebook account. On his way to school, he witnessed a kind-hearted driver who gave the senior citizen a free ride. This jeepney driver is truly one of a kind. I still believe there are a lot more people out there like him. God Bless you Sir Driver.
Here is Joseph's post with 20,841 shares and 86,130 like on her Facebook wall as of this writing.
"Overheard while I was on my way to school just today…
Lola: Bayad ho
Jeepney driver: Señior citizen ho kayo?
Lola: oho.
Jeepney driver: May kasama ho kayo?
Lola: wala ho
Jeepney driver: *returning back the money to the old lady* Wag na ho kayo magbayad
Lola: Ha? Bakit?
Jeepney driver: *smiling* Kung wala po kayong kasama kahit ilan pa kayong señior citizen dito sa jeep ko basta hindi kayo magkakilala, nililibre ko. Ang sarap kaya tumulong. Para pag tanda ko, meron din tutulong sa akin!
“He was such a good samaritan, that’s the reason why I felt the need to share this to everyone. May he be blessed all his life. Saludo ako sayo, kuya driver,” according to Descalzo."
RIP Paul Walker. Walker was a passenger in the two-seater Porsche Carrera GT driven by a friend when the car lost control, hit a light pole or tree and the car burst into flames. He was in the area to a fund raising benefit show for the survivors of typhoon Yolanda in the Philippines for his organization Reach Out Worldwide. He leaves behind a 15-year-old daughter named Meadow. Paul was 40 years old, too young to die.
"He was very happy. He was smiling at everybody, just tickled that all these people came out to support this charity. He was doing what he loved. He was surrounded by friends, surrounded by cars.” said Bill Townsend, one of Walker’s friend who attended the fundraiser Saturday.

Thank you Paul Walker for your love and support to Filipinos who were devastated by Typhoon Haiyan. We are grateful for your support and love to our country.
