                Isabela City bombing  would create panic from among the residents of the city, scores of 11 dead and many other injured peace and loving Basilenos strongly condemning the recent bombing again to the inflicted for the peace and law-abiding citizen of Isabela City and Basilan in general. We call upon all mindful constituents to similarly condemn the instigators and perpetrators of said mindless and barbaric act. This act is not handy work of true Muslim, true Christians and any other sects, who equally protect and preserve human lives living side by side of co-equal civil rights with-out fears and harm, but, this presume are the handy works of malignant mind with an evil desires who create instability for our great republic. The perpetrators and mastermind should brought to the bar of justice whoever they are assume full responsibility accorded for the full force of law they committed for the province.

Politically related violence continue to scares the public well organized type of killings to political foes are the order of business from liquidations, assassinations and ambuscades hitting the headlines of both broadcast, prints and e-media in almost daily news-bit. Identified hotspot provinces were the occurrence of the violence came’s into front-page, that how Philippine politics immaturity plays an obstruction on our electoral processes dictates the mind of our leaders. Cultures of corruptions, dynastism and culture of impunity condone the motives of political violence, presume the misguided element of political supporters are those responsible doing the dirty jobs to accomplish the mission target of the political opponents. Private Armies and many loose firearms are the real causes in the related series of political killings of our republic. The next president whoever elected after May 10 national election must address this bad cultures of Philippine politics by dismantling the traditional political practices destroy the image of our political landscape. Bring you to calls for an appeal to all politicians and political warlords “The Killings must stop” bring politics to the highest degree on issues and plat-forms of good government.

COMELEC officials on their press releases cannot assure us that poll automation is 100 percents can serve the entire polling places all over more than 7.100 islands of our Archipelago, Presidentiables fears they could be a failed of election scenario in May 10 national election. Former Speaker Jose De Venesia  Jr. (JDV) speculates they would be Military Junta take-over after election if no proclaimed President within the prescribed Republic Constitution. National Defense Secretary Norberto ‘Saging’ Gonzales predicts 30 percents areas of the republic could not conduct poll automation, because of many reasons. But on the contrary, Smartmatic Company official said PCOS machines are now readied and completed for the polls automation with other back-up machines in case of troubleshooting may occurred. By simple analysis with all kinds of scenario. Political pundit assess it, this is a part of Malacanang gimmicks PGMA is not suffice yet of her Nine years in office inside the Palace. Madam President, I think it’s a right time to have a graceful exit from power bumaba kana sa kapangyarihan ng matiwasay iwanan mo na ang Palasyo for good, the next elected President will assume office on July 1, 2010 for a regular smooth transfer of power based on our Constitution of 1987.

Ateneo Manila University refuses to accept Mr. Manny V.Pangilinan resignation from the Chairman of the Board of Trustees. Instead the academic community and the Boards of the elite university accepted public apology of his plagiarized speech. The controversial speech, its reflect to the credibility of speaker and the speech writer too, who wrote the content of the speech materials delivered for the graduating class in that special event. Remind MVP next speech engagement take-care of copied speech double check the sources of content of the materials to avoid of being embarrassed in public.

The effect of an insatiable greed’s it reflect to everyone life of the high profile of leaders both of the national and local level,  dynastism  and culture of impunity of our political system condone for an amassing of public funds  converted for  a personal wealth negating or denying the true essence of public service. In true sense by an evidence of facts try to scrutinize or even looking at our elected officials today to avoid mentioning name names, they are in callous showing of an in- dignify personal belonging from the parade of new model luxury cars and service vehicles. Noong araw sabi Mr. Nung Ajihil mga barkada pa mag sama-sama pa kumakain sa kanto-kanto. Now is a different status of life can even hard to locate when their attention need arises. I think, this a wake-up call for new beginning and renewal to all voters for Western Mindnao, you must cast your vote according to your clear conscience a genuine rights of suffrage that really deserve for change anchor purely of public service elect leaders that serve the interest of our constituents.

Philippine business icon Mr. Manny V. Panglinan prompted to quit from the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the elite school Ateneo de Manila University over barrowed speech from the well-known writer of seven sequel books Harry Potter Author J.K. Rowling and US President Barack Obama. No doubt of President Barack Obana capacity in communication, he is rare and unique person of a modern teleprompter communicator could hardly compare.  Pangilinan plagiarized speech when addressing academic community during the graduation rites, this was on March 27, he so felt very embarrassed Pangilinan said. Manny Pangilingan is a big time businessman Chairman of the country’s leading carrier, the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company and its mobile phone Smart Communication. Some commented that blame should be placed on the Pangilinan’s speech writer, while others questioned why he didn’t see the similarities beforehand. He further comments “I have had some help in drafting my remarks but I take full responsibility for them”  It give a lot of personal discomfort to continue to be closely with the Ateneo affairs after the incident, he said. “ I am afraid the damage has been done- I really do not have a face to show after this.” I Think, what Mr. Pangilinan he should do now asking for public apology to the damages he has done to the academic affairs of the said University.

NP Presidential candidate Mnny B. Villar plagiarizes Argentine’s Presidential Murphy Lopez on his latest political ads. Political pundits’ keeps on attacking Manny Villar in somehow can hardly depend of their many lapses that could not match the effectiveness of campaign strategies of the opposition presidential candidate Noynoy Aquino-III. Noynoy-Mar tandem leads the latest survey results of Pulse Asia and Manila Standard. Villaroyo issue and links to some known personalities close to the first family who confirmed the alliances with NP now, it really damage the popularity of Manny Villar. If Noynoy can sustain his campaign up to the last ditch of campaign period he will be the next president of the republic. He must also take-care of political butterflies or turncoatism, he might make him unpopular or set-back for his political posture and popularity.

The appointment of Western Mindanao State University (WMSU) President Dr. Grace Rebollos to the peace panel stirs controversial issue for the local leaders of Zamboanga City. There are  from both pros and cons -Vice Mayoralty Candidate  Chrisanto ‘Monsi ‘ dela Cruz is on pro side with his justification released to local media, while incumbent Mayor Celso Lobregat is on con side the same also with released statement both in broadcast and print media particularly to Zampen Journal. Zamboanga City by nature every personality involved in the peace talk negotiation is always at risk and considers his/her works in the hot-seat. Reminding the two gentlemen global community including myself is an advocate of a peaceful world almost eighty percents of my short write-up are related to peace works for a peaceful world. We must all join to the bandwagon of peaceful global citizens.

Presidential Candidates Eddie Villanueva and Noynoy Aquino-III comments come at a time on the last minute ditch of PGMA mid-night appointments for the trusted men and women officials of her administration. Naturally, PGMA moves to place trusted people in key positions under her wings are for the purpose of saving face and safety-net. Reminding Brother Eddie and Noynoy if there will be a mis-deed and mess in nine years in the Palace, she should safe and protected from legal suit when new President assume office on July 1, 2010. I think, this is a wise move for President Arroyo. Talagang mautak si Madam GMA Brother Eddie…

Key success of the peace process remain in the hands of the tri-parties involved, the US, Israel and the Palestinians Authorities. The ball is now in the hand of Israelis Government for final settlement. The new row of conflict is the expansion 1,600 housing units in the East Jerusalem claimed by the Palestinians Authorities is their future state capital or seat of government. The role of US-peace brokers is to pressure Israel not to continue the cause and effect of conflict, meaning to stop the construction of housing units in East Jerusalem. Then, US and International Community must fulfill their commitment of two states solution for global community to attain the real and genuine peaceful world. The collapse of peace process is another round of unending trouble world. We must all serious for the root cause and effect of an infinite conflicts decision must be done to save us from conflagrations of the division between the Muslims world and the west. I don’t want to see again the heavy tolls the lost of human lives and devastating collateral damages to properties in the heart of Gaza Strips and West Bank and the heartbreaking memories of Gaza conflicts.

Jerusalem is the Israeli Government consider number one obstacle to the final peace process with the Palestinians Authority. I have suggested many times in some of my over the decades continuing short write-up to the world on selected e-media and social networks.  Jerusalem should open for all religions nobody should claims by Muslims, Jews and other sects. The goals is for the protection of the sacred sites Masjiril Aqsa (Mosque) Rock Dome belong to the Muslims faith and the Holy City is for the Jews, Christianity and other worshippers  in order two states solution be resolved in due time. Hopes parties be amenable for this proposal in the name of genuine and lasting peace in the Mideast.

Political violence continues at the heart of Iraq Capital- to the Iraqis they should accept the new mandate of elected officials. This how democracy at works by electoral process not by the barrel of guns, reminding them for those candidates garnered highest votes, he/she the winners and those candidates get minority votes they are losers.

Israelis Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speech at AIPAC is thoroughly watch by global community, I expect the message will come-up with wisdom for a genuine peaceful resolution in the Middle East. Two states solution is the hopes for achieving permanent peaceful community in the Mideast.

Former Prime Minister Ayad Alawwi of Iraq is pretty sure garnered majority votes from secular political bloc after Independent Electoral Commission announced the post-election results. PM Alawwi should now form a unity government a coalition government that bring Iraqis together for a nation of solid foundation committed to the rule of law and democratic institution erase the sectarian motives or violence from their heart and mind. They should think for their future for an advancement of global competiveness for the 21st Century. PM Alawwi a new hope for the Iraqi people from the ravages of postwar a time for recovery of new Iraq inclusive government to all Iraqis.
***
Arab leaders’ calls for Jerusalem summit should come-up with final resolution for the Israelis and Palestinians peace efforts. They should never allow failing for a genuine and lasting peaceful world. The key measures are now in the hands of all stakeholders of both the Muslim world and the west. We cannot afford to witness the next round of human carnage in the Middle East. God forbid how the precious of human lives labor by the world couple under the Supreme guidance of the Great Almighty God…

By mere observation and the clamor of Zamboangeno they will vote for Noynoy Aquino this coming May 10 National election. By tradition Zamboanga voters always in the opposite side not supporting the administration candidates. Villar is affected too much because of C-5 controversy and the allege Villaroyo secret alliance as exposed by an expert of political pundit in fb and other social network. At the end of the heat-up campaign trail Noynoy will get mass supports if they can refine much better of their political ads a clear message that can reach the heart and mind of voters who really wanted for change of our political landscape.

Guimaras Province is newly created province of Panay Island adjacent to the City of Iloilo compose of five Municipality seats of Local Government Units with two district representatives. I am 100 percent pros to the creation of 3rd District of Zamboanga City, base on the assumption of geographical sizes.  Zamboanga City is on the advantage position situated part of Western Mindanao region to enable become vibrant and progressive city to catch-up Cagayan de Oro, Davao City and Gensan Province. Zamboanga City is a center for commerce of the Western region of Mindanao need fast-track development aiming for modernization toward sustainable growth.
***
Based on Prof. Bien Fernandez latest survey the respondents favor the creation of 3rd Congressional District of the city. I think survey results is speak for itself no doubt Zamboangeno express their willingness to have one additional district created. Back to Guimaras Province a small Islet can create two district representatives, why Zamboanga City cannot do it the same with his biggest in number of population density, huge resources and geographical location.

Zamboanga  City must be the place for everybody belong to the multi-cultural diversity living together under one community of mutual respects and mutual interest. By being the city of flowers must also the city of love mingling for diverse ethnicity devoid all kinds of hatred inflicted in our mind and heart attaining peaceful co-existence as preached day-to-day by global community.
