Is Edcel Lagman starting a veiled campaign for pro-RH Bill candidates?
February 8, 2013 - by benign0 - 8 Comments.
Not surprisingly, a few of the very people who spearheaded the implementation of reproductive health law in the Philippines are having a bit of a post-fiesta reflection on just how big (or small) of a win they copped in practice.
Looks like Rep. Edcel Lagman, one of "the main architects of that victory" is feeling a bit insecure about whether the new RH Law will actually prosper considering how much money any of the practical measures the law stipulates should be operationalised by the state will get. Apparently the law, if it were to have any real efficacy will ultimately rely on a "common concern to have pro-RH legislators elected to the House of Representatives and the Senate to assure a continuing and requisite appropriation for the RH Law."
The Inquirer.net editors seem to have failed to read between the lines of Lagman's melodramatic (their words) lament as, to me, all that just sounds like a pitch for a certain favoured set of folk that will likely be shrinkwrapped and packaged as the "Pro-RH-bill" bloc of candidates to vote for in the coming elections. After all, no true politician does nuthin', supports nuthin' and says nuthin' for nuthin'. It is always all about political capital, and being pro-RH last year certainly counts for something in this year's election. Thus…
[…] Lagman is quite right to focus on the funding, and on the circumstance on which it will depend: the election of enough RH Law supporters to approve adequate funds for the law in succeeding budgets.
Eyes roll….
To be fair, the veneer of sincerity is quite convincing and the Inquirer Editor does an excellent job articulating Lagman's surface rationale…
The greatest danger to the new law is complacency, the tedium of the happy winner. Celebratory parties, laudatory print articles and TV profiles, congratulatory forums: They can all act as a natural narcotic, lulling the hard-scrabble coalition to a false sense of permanent victory.
That's actually a brilliant microcosmic take on the overall character of Philippine "democratic" politics. Fiesta elections is in the air, and it will likely be a fiesta orgy of spending, "debate", chatter, spectacle, theatrics, and high-fives until May. But what happens after all that? When the hot air of blah blah blahs finally dissipates (or is blown away by the next tropical storm along with the perenial brown smog that envelopes Manila most days), that all-too-familiar opiate of mediocrity we routinely self-medicate ourselves with to soften the crash to reality after these wild parties will begin to flow in the average Pinoy schmoes veins.
My previous article questioned the notion of whether "good systems", "good leaders" and "good laws" necessarily spell success for a society — specifically one where time and again a profound dysfunction in the DNA of the very fabric of its character, its culture, has long been evident.
When one considers how the Filipino-Chinese who were once mere third-class citizens as recently as half a century ago went on to achieve spectacular prosperity regardless of who was governing and under what system they were governing, the question is begged as to why the larger society of island Filipinos remain cut out from the wondrous pie that is the Philippine economy.
Will a change initiated from the top really matter? Perhaps these times of fiesta election is as good a time as any to remind ourselves where the power to change really comes from. The illusion of change that we medicate ourselves with year in and year out usually comes from the top. But real change will always necessarily come from the bottom, and from within.

mangcosme says:
Does this change (i.e. the maturing of our culture) result from an event or a series of events that forces everyone to think just who we are as a people and therefore makes us more resolute and progressive? In the history of most countries that are prosperous now, there are periods of civil wars or even genocide. Our wars among ourselves (not counting the insurgencies) have not been as bloody and therefore might have not been enough to really forge a national character. I don't advocate bloodshed but it seems history proves that countries cannot rise to greatness if they cannot forcefully overthrow the status quo.
This one is good, "it depends on" the reps+senators to finance it,HA HA AHAHAHAHAHAHAAH, I mean BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Stuffing pockets with wads of cash so the people can have some health-care? Oh Yeah! Sure, the check….it is in the mail? The Philippine mail system is a little slow sooooooooo…….
ChinoF says:
So support for the RH Law was a ticket for reciprocated support for the coming elections?
A li'l aside: What ever happened to the lady whose husband had houses in the USA, a husband who was in the military and could not possibly have afforded these places? She was summoned to appear before the senate and appeared but at the moment when she had to take the stand she stated that she "did not feel well" and was allowed to exit the senate, not in hand-cuffs, but as a free citizen. WTF?
Does anyone who reads this blog, comments on it, or writes articles for it not see what is going on in the country? Criminals at all levels of Gov't., military all stealing whatever is not nailed down and brazenly laughing their asses off and when the time comes for the justice system to work, WHAT HAPPENS? NOTHING, there is only one solution and the Vigilante posted an article recently about just that!
What is happening is a criminal conspiracy of gigantic proportions, everyone is in on it and so no one goes to jail, not a real one anyway. Show the people one person who has been prosecuted since 1986, hell 1946, who has been caught stealing the peoples' money and/or selling his office/influence for money. Show the people one, just one!!! Oh, you can't? No surprise there, huh?
The problem is well known, what is the solution? HINT: it ain't blogging!

For Filipino voters, I mean the low-information voters, this RH bill does not matter.
It's the Aquino label.
Even a candidate is a dog and it has an Aquino label in it, they will go for it.
I hope I'm wrong.

We are already beyond change…we are the basket case of Asia. The entrenched Oligarchy and Feudal masters are the rulers. OFW slavery will continue to bouy up the Philippine economy. Wowoowee politics will be always our politics….Mga artista become politicians, because they can just play like caring politicians. People swallow their acts: hook, line and sinker…this is our problem…

What people are saying about Quintana Roo
Everything was excellent. I can recommend. The team was very attentive and the tour was professionally organized. The stop over in Isla Mujeres was maybe a little unnecessary, we had very little time (1 hour) and there was no program to follow. Many people didn't know where to go or what to do.

Chess2u » General Topics » board screenshot?
anybody knows how to take board screenshot from chessbase products?
If on the other hand you do actually mean literally screen capture, or you want to post any image of anything other than a chess positio, then just use any free screen capture tool or the one already built in to windows (search for "snipping tool" in your windows and you will find it). Capture the screen image you want and the save the file somewhere.
Then use any image hosting site. I use this one https://postimage.io/ which is good and easy to use. Upload your saved image and choose "direct link".
The image will then appear when you post or do preview (by the way thats is how I captured and posted the screen shots to make this guide).


According to Daniel Ojijo, chief executive of Universal Homes Limited, well-to-do Nairobians and expatriates are driving a current craze for fancy apartments in suburbs like Lavington, Karen and Kilimani, where land owners have stepped in to meet the ever increasing demand.
"Surging land prices and its unavailability is the reason why many buyers continue to prefer buying apartments. However, the recent spate of insecurity coupled with the need for space is pushing the demand for apartments in the serene suburbs, perceived to be more secure," said Ojijo.
Apartments in these areas are not your everyday type as they are exquisitely built for royal buyers. Developers are not sparing any effort in creating housing units that will exceed the expectations of even the most discerning home seeker.
"They are offering everything you ever wanted in an apartment; from space, design and style, security to amenities like sauna, swimming pool, gym, club house, manicured gardens, jacuzzi, basketball court and jogging tracks," Ojijo explains.
We are offering royalty coupled with sheer elegance, a fresh aura in the beauty of nature and spacious living with all the necessary support facilities," said Gideon Ngure, a manager at Sigmo Enterprise Limited.
Set to be completed this year, Duchess Park will offer home owners lounges with balconies, study niche, a kitchen with an island, cloakrooms, en-suite bedrooms with jacuzzis.
Other support amenities will include a swimming pool, fully equipped gym, jogging track, sauna, a club house, basketball court, landscaped gardens and an electric fence with CCTV cameras.
The property comprises 62 apartments, including 52 spacious three-bedroomed apartments all en suite with spacious master bedroom, balcony and self-contained servants quarters at Sh 29.5m and Sh35m for mortgage buyers.
There are also large four-bedroomed apartments at Sh39m and spacious five bedroom duplexes, all en suite, at Sh49.5m. "These are luxury apartments, built-in trending designs and finished in style.
Discerning buyers are ready to pay top shilling for them," said Ojijo. Besides exquisite furnishing, a beautiful garden, club house, gym and a wide swimming pool, there also is a baby pool, covered basement parking space with two slots per unit and a extra space for visitors, borehole ad backup generator. But quality alone won't get the buyers.
For a development like Duchess Park to convince people to cough over Sh30 for an apartment, an amount that can get one a good sized piece of land outside of the city and have enough left to construct a kingly mansion, other considerations must come into play.
Enter shopping malls. At the moment, there are about 10 malls under construction around the city, all topping Sh0.5b in costs. Duchess Park is in close proximity to several shopping malls. And with the Kenyan economy growing faster than the earlier predicted speed, a higher spending capacity for the growing middle class is going to entrench the battle for clients.


Ah, U-Boat Worx. They are certainly no strangers to Geeky Gadgets. In fact, last time they were featured was 11 months ago. So, almost a year since they unveiled their mini-sub line, U-Boat Worx proudly announced that a budding Captain Nemo's with enough dough can now charter their aquatic ride(s).
U-Boat Worx have formally begun accepting charters that are basically rentals of their mini-subs. Based in the Netherlands, a great seafaring nation if there ever was one, U-Boat Worx have two different models available for anyone with 75,000 euros to spare.
Each order comes not only with a three-person submarine but technical staff, logistics, and specialized equipment.
The submarines available, being the C-Quester 3 and the C-Explorer 2, can dive to more than 300 feet and have 360 degree vision through their reinforced see through hulls. Pictured above is a digital rendition of the upcoming C-Explorer 5, which is the most spacious model yet.


Night and day are like two different worlds. In this activity for the very youngest children, we introduce the concept of the spinning Earth and the use of a sundial.
Introduce children to both geometric and analytical skills in a creative way. Use imaginative craft ideas to make stellar objects. Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding, originally from China and now practiced all over the world.
This is a non-exhaustive list of astronomy software. This selection was chosen because it contains only freeware and is suitable with very young children.
In this fun activity, use rhyming song to describe our place in the Universe with gestures mimicking the shapes and moments found in space.

See the Earth as it is in reality: no borders between countries, a sphere sitting in space through this colouring activity.
Se trata de que los niños hagan una narración en forma de cuento (de 1 a 5 páginas, según la edad) o incluso una novela corta (de varios capítulos, de 3-5 pág. cada uno) sobre un tema en el que estén implicadas ideas y conceptos astronómicos con cierta base científica, es decir, que sean razonables. Sólo se necesita inventiva, papel, bolígrafo, y algunos conocimientos básicos sobre Astronomía.
What if you landed on the Moon? What should you take with you? This is a group activity that inspires kids to imagine life in space.
Children create a rainbow using very few and simple household objects and a little bit of sunlight.
This activity helps children understand that the Earth is round and the origin of day and night. Image planets and space, and draw or paint it.
Use a telescope during the day! This simple trick allows you to use a telescope even if you are not outdoors at night.
In this activity, children learn through art and science about the moons of our Solar System.The term 'Deadly', comes from the response of young Irish children who first did this activity. Moons that look like flying saucers, moons with volcanoes, moons that explode and shoot frozen water hundreds of kilometres into space, were considered so awesome they were 'deadly'. In this activity children view and then vote for the 'deadliest moon'. They then draw that moon from a still image on a screen. The main objective of Deadly Moons is to combine the goals/methods of learning through art and science, to foster the skills of observation and recording the many moons in the solar system and at the same time stimulate an appreciation of their beauty and wonder, to inspire children to investigate further the bodies within our solar system.
Use an UNAWE Earthball to facilitate in understanding day and night.
Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding, originally from China and now practiced all over the world. In this activity, create an origami star. Introduce children to both geometry and analytical skills in a creative way.


These pumpkin yogurt cups are not only a delicious Halloween snack, but they're a fun project for the kids to help with as well; they can help draw the pumpkin faces for their own cups!
Note: For each pumpkin yogurt cup you'll need one yogurt, 2 Oreo cookies, and about 2 tablespoons of Cool Whip.
You can use any flavor of yogurt you want. I used orange creamsicle! The Yoplait Greek 100 yogurts come in tons of delicious flavors!
Start by decorating your cups; it's easier to draw on them while they're still empty than after you've filled them with yogurt. Use your black Sharpie to draw a pumpkin face on each cup, about a half inch up from the bottom of the cup.
Next, crumble your Oreo cookies. We just crushed them with a rolling pin, but you can use a food processor (or a hammer!) if you want.
Add a bit of Oreo crumble to the bottom of each pumpkin cup (about two Oreos per cup).
Now it's time to dye the yogurt orange! You can dye each yogurt in their individual cups, or, if you're making a large batch of these pumpkin cups, it might be easier to empty out the yogurt into a mixing bowl and dye all of the yogurt at once. Add red and yellow food coloring until you get a nice bright orange!
Then spoon the yogurt over the top of the Oreo crumble (about one yogurt container per cup).
The last step is to dye the Cool Whip green and add it to the top. Spoon out about 2 tablespoons of Cool Whip per pumpkin snack cup into a mixing bowl, and add green food coloring until the Cool Whip turns bright green. The Cool Whip will slowly liquefy as you stir in the food coloring, but don't worry! You can either just add it on top as-is (like I did in the photos below), or, if you'd prefer the Cool Whip to be stiffer, you can beat it with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Then you'll be able to pipe it out of a frosting bag or a Ziploc bag and get a stiff "stem". But I'm no good with frosting bags, so I went the simpler route and just spooned the Cool Whip on top of each pumpkin cup, and they still turned out super cute!
They're almost too cute to eat! Almost…these little pumpkin yogurt cups are too delicious not to eat!
