We can fondly remember this anecdote from former UN President of General Assembly, Carlos P. Romulo – his reply to the sneer of Alexei Vishinsky, head of the Soviet delagation that time:
Vishinky: “You are just a little man from a little country”
Romulo: “It is the duty of the little Davids of this world to fling the pebbles of truth in the eyes of the blustering Goliaths and force them to behave!”
If this was to happen in our time, we would all say BOOM or NGA NGA :O
It was indeed a ‘nga nga’ from Carlos P. Romulo. I wish that most of the Filipinos today would have the same fervor for our national identity even though China says the same thing – that we are just little men from a little country.
Today is the day for the Global Filipino Anti-China Protests. This would not have happened, thanks to the arrogance and bullying attitude of China against our country. With stupidity equal to none and losing their common sense, the Chinese government claims the Scarborough Shoal and Spratly Islands theirs. There is even a loony TV report that even claims our country for China!
In the latest round of the bout between journalist, Ramon Tulfo and the showbiz turned boxing slash streetfighter couple, Raymart and Claudine Santiago, several statements are made by people who have been during the ugly and unruly boxing match in NAIA.
According to the Cebu Pacific Crew, they have not seen Mon Tulfo kicked the ass out of Claudine. Here’s a piece of their statement from a DZMM article.
Nanindigan ang mga ground crew ng Cebu Pacific airlines na hindi nila nakitang pinagsisipa ng kolumnistang si Ramon Tulfo ang aktres na si Claduine Barretto.
Sa sinumpaang salaysay, sinabi ng airport security guard na si Eden Modejas na nakita niya kung paano pinagalitan ni Claudine ang ground staff na sina Cid Charisse Bocboc at Kristine Anne Ilagan.
Agaw-atensyon umano ang paninigaw ni Claudine na naririnig ng iba pang mga pasahero.
I thought Floyd Mayweather and Miguel Cotto are the boxers who have a match today. But it turns out that Mon Tulfo and Raymart Santiago have their own version too! The venue was NAIA 3.
Dang, here’s a video circulating the internet today. Its a raw video of the incident:
Because of my hectic schedules, I seldom watch movies. Leafing through my usual pile of books (this time a Philosophy book used for the preparation of my daily sermons err lecture), I’ve read a full chapter. Noticing on the terms that involve the subject matter, the word Iron Lady suddenly crept across my mind.
With the recent issue in the Scarborough Shoal and Spratly Islands, I can’t help but remember the Falkland Island war during Margaret Thatcher’s term. Hounded by the word Iron Lady, I instinctively went through my files and watched the recent Streep film.
Can’t help throughout the film to reminisce my admiration for Lady Thatcher. I have admired this Iron Lady since 5th grade.
I am raising my middle finger. Yes. For you and your greedy government. I don’t care about your f*cking history nor your so-called greatness in this planet. You want respect. Then you should respect first.
Yes folks. You are not dreaming. After being submerged in a cryogenic state in blogging due to tremendous amount of activities in real life…
I am back…
And I did some housekeeping in my balay. I have seen so many cobwebs. I just removed some of the widgets which have become an eyesore for me. I will go for the meantime to a minimalistic look.
