Aquino vs Marcos: energizer bunny of political feuds that keeps humping, humping, humping the nation.

Marcos issue is a recurring national distraction. 

PNoy is pro-reconciliation but NOT w/ Marcos. Magdalo, NPA, MILF (aka criminals) are pardoned or brought to the negotiating table and yet a dead president will not be allowed to be laid to rest? He may not forgive Marcos but he MUST allow the burial just to move this country forward. He must rise above his personal issues and do this for the nation.

Do we have a law that allows a President to withhold rights to a citizen? Marcos is a Filipino citizen, veteran, ex-President are his human rights not relevant anymore because he is deceased? Does the president even have the right to stop the burial. Being a dick-tator when he was alive should be irrelevant to his right to get buried in his country, shouldn't it?

What is stopping the Marcos clan from bringing home his remains? Will it be blocked in NAIA? The Marcoses are gaining a lot of media mileage (positive or negative doesn't really matter it's still mind share) every time this issue is brought to light.

Sentimental EDSA folk say that burying Marcos in the country will tarnish the sacrifice. Why? He is dead, you are alive and free. 

I am beginning to think that this issue is being floated on purpose to distract my fellow residents of Gitmo Nation Mango. 

It's full of drama and Filipino's love drama. What issues are being swept under the rug because this age old feud between two political families is being left conveniently unresolved (on purpose)?

Coron Labor Day Weekend Getaway

The weather wasn’t as cooperative as we would’ve liked but I think we made the most of it :D [waiting for our flight to Busuanga] We went to the saltwater hot spring, island hoping, and had a whole lot of fun at Loralee’s luau. [The water is FIIIIINE!!!] [dinner at Bistro Coron] [Happy Birthday Loralee :D] Coron is one heck of a lovely place… just remember to bring mosquito repellent. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bnycastro/tags/coron_0509

Darth Kegaw to Treo 750: It is Useless to Resist

I have never been one to keep my devices *as is* when it comes to the OS/Firmware… This 2nd Treo 750 will be no different. So I dusted off my old Cheetah files [trivia: the Treo 750 is codenamed HTC Cheetah] and decided to HARD SPL [this allows for non-carrier branded ROMs to be loaded] and flashed it to a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen… and the ROM loaded without any issues. I did notice that Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 was not included in this ROM not really a problem since I own the software as well.  I’m currently syncing my PIM data and will be installing my apps over the next few days.
