President Noynoy Aquino
By Gum! He turned out to be a more eloquent speaker than his Dad!
And in Tagalog, too.
But of course, his dad never made President.
Still……,

The incoming President, Noynoy Aquino, has had no chance to perform his duties yet.
Why do we insist in rolling out a pad of criticisms before he does?
What we are doing now is criticizing his personal affairs and not his work.
Let us wait for what actions he is going to do after June 30.
You may not be able to watch high-def images if the resolution in your computer monitor is low. Here is how you may raise the resolution.
Click on start/control panel/appearances and themes/change screen resolution. Move the slider to the right to get 1152 x 864. The screen will go blank and restart.
Go back to change screen resolution and click on Advanced. Adjust the dpi setting to custom—114 to 116 dpi.
Restart. The dpi has to be adjusted because the font becomes smaller as the resolution is increased. You can adjust the dpi setting repeatedly until you find the setting satisfactory.
This procedure is applicable to Windows XP.
The fact that the video clip “Rose Garden” garnered the most hits from you folks, and still is getting hits, makes me believe that there is artistry in a lot of the people that visit this site. More so when the impassioned violinist, Janine Jansen, also gets some good hits.
So I give you this garden, a chinese garden this time. And this time the images are made so that it approaches high definition for your flat screen monitors. This is the largest megs I uploaded and it should take you a while to download and copy on your pc. But you will find the images satisfying afterward the long download.
This is also a trial of the Cyberlink Powerdirector, a software that edits videos, and a watermark can be seen at the beginning of the video clip.

Let me put it this way—
There is no conclusive proof that sex education taught in schools promote promiscuity amongst the students.
Neither is there conclusive proof that sex education in schools reduce promiscuity amongst the students.
Sex education does not actually teach how sex is done. It is virtually an education of the human anatomy, and not an activation of sex.
People who are against sex education in schools are most probably afraid that such an education would lead the students to experiment on the actual act. They would rather let the students find out for themselves what sex is all about. In this matter. however, experience will not be the best teacher, because almost always, the experiment turns out to be a mistake.
A suggestion might be in order as to ask the Pope for advice, instead of the CBCP, or let the teachers impart the education to the students which would then be under the discipline of the parents, or just let the priests teach this subject.
If you ask me, whether there be sex education or not, there will still be unwanted pregnancies. So why not allow sex education to be taught in schools to at least instill in the students that they are responsible for their actions.
In the recent lecture sponsored by the PTA and which was held in the school gym, a boy at the back asked the lecturers at what age it is possible for the girl to be pregnant, to which the Principal answered, “fourteen, less possibly twelve years old!”
The boy very excitedly yelled towards an embarrassed grade-fiver in the front row, “See Mary, I told you we have nothing to worry about!”
The Department of Education wants to start teaching sex education in schools.
The Catholic Bishops and other laymen disagrees.
They don’t see eye to eye, if you ask me. But there must be a point where they will agree, and most probably, compromise. They should start to see this from the other side of the bakod.
When I was in school, I listened very attentively to the teacher who taught me sex education, after which we were in good accord
all the way.
