[The ANTI-TERROR Law enacted by the 18th Congress of the Philippines has received tremendous FLAK in social media. Protests rallies have even been held perhaps due to misinformation and the disinformation, mostly  launched by FACEBOOK bashers, who might not have even read the very text of the law. I hope this EXPLAINER which was inspired by a viber group chat message sent by my good friend, Atty. BIBOY MALAYA, would bring some illumination and clarification.]

The ANTI-TERRORISM Law is aimed  to give law enforcement  authorities the much-needed strong legal BACKBONE…

It is truly a law which must not be seen as a BANE but actually, it’s a BOON;

It will be a strong support to the criminal justice response against TERRORISM – –

It has never been crafted indeed to repress FREEDOM of  SPEECH and ACTIVISM!

With the mutation in the way terrorist groups perpetrate their evil ACTS…

Governments must also be quick to make revisions and additions to their legislative ACTS;

A strong legal structure is needed to exact accountability, liability, and RESPONSIBILITY – –

Those who’ve committed, and/or are supporting those who commit terrorist acts should be accorded DUE PROCESS that would culminate in a rightful PENALTY!

Many misconceptions about the law have indeed SURFACED…

Due in part to misinformation – and disinformation – from some sectors who want the law DEFACED;

And this explainer seeks to clear issues about the anti-terrorism LAW – –

And perhaps you’d by then be convinced that the law has no FLAW!

While the LAW includes tough provisions against terrorists including foreign ONES…

Tougher safeguards were cranked in against abuse, which can be seen even by a DUNCE;

Though the law authorizes surveillance, a judicial authorization must be procured for a  60 day PERIOD – –

Which can be lengthened to a non-extendible period of 30 days, and that’s the end, for GOOD!

The LAW extends to 14 working days when a suspected terrorist can be detained sans a WARRANT…

A terrorist who is at-large can blow a building or a bank, and won’t even look ERRANT;

‘Tis safe that a terrorist is behind bars, than in the streets, with BOMB and GUNS – –

And would even sashay and jump with JOY after he has accomplished his evil ERRANDS!

And that period of detention is still lenient indeed, as SINGAPORE has 730 DAYS…

Truly, strict enforcement and draconian laws, produce results and such really PAYS;

But not in the case of our country, for HUMAN RIGHTS advocates would SHOUT and HOLLER- –

It’s a VIOLATION and they’d all be swayed and would want to save the suspected-TERRORIST-KILLER!

In Maldives and Singapore, these states provide for an indefinite period of DETENTION…

This is with respect to suspects deemed to be threats to the welfare and security of their respective NATION;.

Let’s all harken to SINGAPORE’s ANT-TERROR MODEL – –

Let’s not be hoodwinked and be wrongly convinced by HUMAN RIGHTISTS’ holler and YODEL!

Anent our ANTI-TERROR Law, the 14-day detention period is only upon a written authorization of the Anti-Terrorism COUNCIL…

And everyone would still enjoy the right to bail and the right to COUNSEL;

Truly indeed, there are safeguards to ensure the rights of the detainee, access to lawyers (as aforesaid) and to representatives from the HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION or COUNCIL!

Violations by law enforcers – including tampering of records – shall be punished by imprisonment of up to 10 YEARS…

Contrary to claims by those PROTESTERS, it’s the courts that will determine if one is a terrorist, to avoid procedural VEERS;

And NOT the Anti-Terrorism Council, for it does not possess any judicial or quasi-judicial POWERS – –

And the law guarantees civil liberties and constitutional rights of citizens, presto, there’ll be no FEARS!

The ANTI-TERROR law respects too the freedom of SPEECH…

As well as the legitimate exercises of the freedom of expression and to voluntarily assemble in PEACE;

Everyone may engage in advocacy, protest, dissent or mass action sans any  force or violence or HARM – –

For the law indeed, was enacted to keep us all protected and to build much confidence among our own GENDARME!

It was in fact the UNITED NATIONS which made the clarion CALL…

For all the countries in the world, to strengthen their laws and their ROLE;

For indeed TERRORISM has reared its ugly head and it can go UNABATED – –

But PEACE can only be achieved, if we are PREPPED and have precisely  LEGISLATED.

Contrary to claims of some protesters,  the LAW  does not allow authorities to cite it as excuse to do arrests  on mere SUSPICION…

That has never been the aim, for it’s truly violative of the CONSTITUTION;

The provision therein on warrantless arrest is in fact a mere REITERATION – –

For citizen’s arrest has since been actually allowed in our own JURISDICTION!

The enactment of the law is not related to the PANDEMIC…

As the GLOBAL COUNTER-TERRORISM strategy was adopted by the UN in TWO THOUSAND SIX;

And that our country’s legislative mill has been in the works for it since the 17^th CONGRESS – –

As there was not enough time to pass it then, it actually delayed the bill’s PROGRESS!

‘Twas the UN Security Council in Resolution 1624, which unanimously adopted at the 2005 World SUMMIT…

A reaffirmation of resolutions condemning TERRORISM, as terrorists’ acts could be so QUICK and it could really RIP;

As the mutating techniques of TERRORISM is hard to truly DECIPHER – –

And if we drop down our guards, we’ll all might be crushed into smithereens like ground CHILI PEPPER!

And as the sponsor of this legislation has

declared and PROGNOSTICATED …

People, “should know better than just criticizing …as the law is designed … “to secure and protect our families and loved ones from terrorist acts that would be PERPETRATED”;

“I hope the day will not come when you or any of your loved ones will be at the receiving end of a terrorist ATTACK…” – –

And sure as the SUNRISE, we can not bring the hands of TIME, BACK!

[LEN is shown here in this photo, clutching a clump of SENIOR CITIZEN’S cards, after collecting them from all of us (seniors of the FOREVER YOUNG clan)…as it was paying time already when she and Wilson hosted and footed the bill at an EASTWOOD Resto, for one of our clan’s get-together.]

Happiest birthday greetings unto my SISTER-IN-LAW LEN…

As a CANCER person, you’re sensible and quite comfortable in your internal  REALM;

Though you’ve the tendency to keep your thoughts PRIVATE – –

You’ve the ability though to sense the feelings of those around you, especially your MATE!

People born on JULY 6 are filled with INFECTIOUS ENERGY…

You teem with VIBRANT OPTIMISM and DEDICATED ENTHUSIASM, that’s a lot, OH GEE;

The matter of COMPROMISE seems not to be your CUP OF TEA – –

As you dedicate much passion unto your quest, you want to resolve matters so IDEALLY!

You now ought to become more HEALTH CONSCIOUS…

REGULAR EXERCISE is recommended, and it must be COPIOUS;

That’s what your horoscope reading SAYS- –

And knowing your horoscope; nowadays, well,  it truly PAYS!

‘Tis also recommended that you wear and be surrounded with COLOR YELLOW…

As it will surely encourage you to be more creative, and eventually turn MELLOW;

And as your career path is to find fulfillment in all aspects of your LIFE- –

That has made you indeed an ideal and an exemplary  WIFE!

Though, ’twas suggested that you should surround yourself with YELLOW TODAY…

Your lucky colors are: cream and pink and CRIMSON, and are also OKEY;

Your lucky days are MONDAYS and FRIDAYS; and your lucky numbers are FOUR and SIX- –

And you ought to avoid sugary and fatty foods, as those consist of an unhealthy MIX!

On your natal day which is TODAY, which is always MARVELOUS DAY…

I hope and pray that you’ll be open to more business possibilities, if it’s OKEY;

With the pandemic that has RAGED and RAMPAGED – –

Perhaps, you’d bank-roll my belatedly discovered/probable career of OPERA SINGING on STAGE!

JOKE, JOKE, JOKE!

Malipayon nga adlaw ng imong natawhan!

[My sister WILMA is pictured in this photo as though with a CAPE, ready and willing to fly like SUPERGIRL or CATWOMAN. But she instead opted to mimic YOON SE RI’s CRASHLANDING ON YOU, but made a better CRASHLANDING many years ago, than that of HYUN BIN’s movie BEAU.]

Happy birthday greetings to my elder sister WILMA…

She is our elder sister, thus, she’s sort of an inheritor-MAMA;

For our Mom NORMA, has already joined our CREATOR- –

Making thereby WILMA, among others, as Mom NORMA’s cooking-recipe SUCCESSOR!

Indeed, ‘tis only WILMA, who has gotten Mom NORMA’s cooking FORMULA…

Particularly of MENUDO, DINUGUAN, KARE-KARE and PANCIT COMIDA;

But our brother WILLIAM ( a VIN DIESEL look-alike)  may have gotten the formulaic-recipe for SINUKMANI- –

While the knack and gusto of eating, got inherited by my other siblings and myself, oh GEE!

FIFTY FOUR  years ago (from 2020), a wondrous miracle did HAPPEN…

My sister WILMA dreamt of flying as flight attendant perhaps, from Manila up to COPENHAGEN;

And so she went on practicing, with the help of WINSTON as her virtual pilot and CAPTAIN- –

And she flung into the air, from our living room, which served as though the plane’s CABIN!

Instead of a plane ✈️ that  usually would crash, WILMA instead went to do her own CRASH-LANDING…

‘Twas unlike the Korean blockbuster, CRASH-LANDING ON YOU which stars YOON SE- RI and HYUN BIN;

It was more of a CRASH-LANDING on a FEW – –

As there were FEW stones to where WILMA BARGED, as though in a sort of a rehearsed CUE!

But there was an abundance of mud, to where she landed, and all got SHOCKED…

And all of us, thus descended, as fast as the second-hand of the CLOCK;

WILMA miraculously stood up, sans 🪂 chute,  WINSTON hailed her for landing NOT  causing a CHOCK-A-BLOCK – –

Indeed, that CRASH-LANDING, was the very first on record, and it wasn’t just a MOCK!

On this your natal day, it’s really best to remember and REMINISCE…

That miracle featuring you WILMA, as durable, strong, even sturdy with much elegance and FINESSE;

For if there would be a contest as who the best CRASH- LANDER in the world IS – –

I’ll avidly nominate our sister, not YOON SE-RI, as WILMA is truly the BEST in the EAST!

Joke, joke, joke!

Maligayang Kaarawan WILMA, the CRASH-LANDER who’s BEST… And better indeed than YOON SE-RI’s version which got a bit SUPPRESSED!

[The WEST PHILIPPINE SEA dispute between CHINA and the PHILIPPINES has been tremendously played up following the arbitral ruling which favorably accorded approbation to the Philippines’ claim and stand. CHINA has not conceded to the arbitral ruling and instead went on into a building-spree putting up more military installations into the disputed areas. But WAR ought not to be the solution to this adversarial confrontation. Compromise is the best alternative so that the seeming belligerent overtures displayed by the United States which has for a time  been labeled as a “warmonger”  would not bring the involved nations into an unprecedented NUCLEAR WAR.]

Marami po ang MASYADONG mainit sa TSINA…

Para bagang ang gusto tayo’y maki-pag-GIYERA;

Halos pulos sila’y mga MILLENIALS – –

Meron ding feeling young, yaong tinaguriang mga FEELLENIALS!

Meron ding isang kagalang-galang na MAHISTRADO…

Feeling ko’y parang gusto ring mag-ka-GIYERA NITO;

Eh, aba ni hindi nga nasaksihan nitong mga ITO ang GIYERA MUNDIAL – –

Para bagang ang gusto nila’y BANSA nati’y MADIDAL!

Ma-DIDAL ang BANSA sa LUGMOK ng GULO…

NUCLEAR WAR pa yata ang TYPE pa nila MISMO;

Akala nila marahil ang GIYERA ay isang PICNIC – –

Kung di sila titigil, lalo lang sila’y mag-uumpisa ng nation-wide PANIC!

At para bagang lubos na ginagatungan pa NGA…

Ang U.S. na sanay-na-sanay na sa GIYERA-pa-rin NGA;

At para naman marahil gumanda muli ang EKONOMIYA NILA – –

Ibinarega TATLONG CARRIERS sa may TSINA,  tayo ngayo’y NAKANGA-NGA!!

Ang ISTRATEHIYA ng ating mahal na PANGULO…

Syempre mas maganda, walang AWAY, walang GULO;

Tama yong ginawa niyang PHIL-CHINA ALLIANCE – –

Kapag sumiklab man, marahil  ma-bobomba lang tayo by accident or by CHANCE!

Yaong ALLIANCE na ipinamanhikan ni DUTERTE…

Syempre para ang TSINA ay sadyang hindi UMATAKE;

Kapag nag-kagulo at sumiklab ang GIYERANG puno ng SUSPENSE – –

Hindi tayo babanatan dahil XI and DIGONG are FRIENDS!

Kaya dapat ang ating bigyan nang buong PANSIN…

Yaong COMPROMISE ng ARBITRAL RULING;

Ang lawak-lawak naman po ng WEST PHILIPPINE SEA – –

Kapag ganito ang solusyon, ‘di tayo MAGSISISI!

JOINT EXPLORATION po ang syang NARARAPAT…

Masama ang maging GREEDY, kahit “HALF” lang po’y halos SAPAT;

3.5 Million Km² po ang lawak ng WEST PHILIPPINE SEA – –

Mas mainam may “joint-venture partner”, para mas ma-explore nang MAAYOS AT MAIGI!

[In a recent post which went viral in social media, COFFEE was identified as one drink that could possibly provide relief and remedy in case of COVID-19 infection. It was narrated that Dr. LI WENLIANG, who is one of CHINA’s unsung heroes (for telling the truth about the corona virus) had documented case files for research purposes and had in the case files proposed a cure. It was reported in the doctor’s proposal (which purportedly was recently discovered) that  the chemical combination of methylxanthine, theobromine and theophylline, can ward off the corona virus of a human infected with the disease, with at least an average level of an immune system. And those enumeration of the aforesaid chemical elements are ALL found in COFFEE!]

On-line business has now indeed come of AGE…

And with this pandemic, start-up business must  observe too some sort of TRIAGE;

Which INITIAL step to follow to gain much ADVANTAGE – –

Sorting out the plan, is it personal marketing or an enticing Facebook PAGE!

And this is some marketing and promotions BLOG…

To aid these entrepreneurs to avoid any CLOG;

The pastry and sushi business of CHE and ALEE – –

And this coming one, of my son  TONTON, called the BREW ALMIGHTY!

BREW ALMIGHTY is the business name and LABEL…

Some kind of PUN, featuring a tinge of Jim Carey’s BABBLE;

But this is not just a bog-standard COFFEE – –

It comes in pairs, the COLD BREW and CARAMEL LATTE!

This COFFEE business will OPEN TOMORROW…

Perhaps, you’d want to taste SAGADA coffee raised in some far-flung BARRIO;

You may place your orders now, for you to taste this COFFEE BREW – –

Just as to avoid a landslide of orders that could create a HULLABALOO!

AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO INCLUDE A LUSCIOUS BANANA LOAF, or a CHEESECAKE IN YOUR ORDER … TO GO!!!!

OR PERHAPS THOSE BAKED SUSHI (THAT IS KOREAN), WELL…IN HONOR OF KOREAN VETS JUST LIKE OUR GRAND OLD DADDY !!!!

[The term “KABATAS” would actually refer to police officers or law enforcers. But it can also denote and/or connote as a term which would refer to law-abiding citizens. I am certain and sure that if you are law-abiding, you need neither fear nor be swayed to utter a whimper or a wham of protest against the ANTI-TERROR LAW. The law is essentially designed to protect us all, from TERRORISTS’ attacks. I am actually wondering what these protesters would say if in the future, a kith or a kin is affected by a terrorist act, and that terrorist’s act would lead to DEATH and even a monstrous massacre.]

Tunay na magsasaya ang ating BANSA…

Pati na ang mga magulang ay magiging ALIGANSA;

Dahil GANAP NANG BATAS ang nilagdaang ANTI-TERROR BILL ng PANGULO- –

At ngayo’y ganap ng batas, na solusyon sa SUBVERSION at ang mga dulot na GULO!

Magiging masayang tunay ang mga MAGULANG…

Dahil mga anak nilang mag-aaral, ay ‘di na malalayo at MAIILANG;

Sa kilusang AKTIBISMO na pinagmumulan ng AWAY, GULO at mga MASS RALLY – –

With this legislation, our country will be CERTAINLY LUCKY!

Lahat halos ng bansa ay mayroon na ring INAKDA…

Kanya-kanyang ANTI-TERROR LAW, na dapat lang sa bawat BANSA;

Ngayong dahil sa FACE MASK, halos lahat animo’y naka-PIRING – –

Mas madaling gumawa ng masama, pati na ang mga “acts of TERRORIZING”!

Yaong mga OPOSIYONISTA sa batas na ITO…

Ano kayang masasabi kapag mga TERORISTA’y NANGGULO;

Lalong-lalo na’t nagbabadya ang mga DEMO’t PROTEST RALLY – –

Kapag may TERORISTANG nagwala, ano kaya kanilang MASASABI!

Sa totoo ay wala nga sanang masama sa mga RALLY at DEMO…

Pero pagka-ito ay naging ANTI-GOVERNMENT na MISMO;

Papasok na ang mga provocateurs na aral sa KOMMUNISMO- –

Kaya’t TEACH-IN doon, TEACH- IN DITO naku simula na’ang ALBUROTO!

Tama nga ang sinabi nitong si BILL GATES…

“This pandemic will surely dish out WHAT IT TRULY TAKES”,

Corrector nga daw itong corona virus na PANDEMIA- –

Ang daming nangyari sa ating bansa na ni hindi natin INAKALA!

With this new law, the ANTI-TERROR ACT which has been LEGISLATED…

Our country will all the more be reigned by peace and order, sans any MISDEED;

And foreign investments will pour in and then, blessings will SHOWER- –

We will, by that enhanced development stage, further fortify our ECONOMIC POWER!

And mga magulang ay magiging, mapag-PASALAMAT…

Dahil nga ang mga supling nila’y hindi na MAWAWALAT;

Matututukan na nang tunay at husto ang kanilang pagsusunog ng KILAY- –

Mga “distraction” tulad ng rally at demonstration ay masisiphayo at magiging UTAY-UTAY!

Ang masamang kahihinatnan ng OPOSISYONG ipinagbabando laban sa nasabing batas sa NGAYON…

Maaring ang MAKA-KALIWA, and DILAWAN, RADICALS,  at TERRORISTS, ay MAG-TIPON-TIPON; 

At ipaglalaban nila ang kanilang pinagkakaisahang ADBOKASIYA – – 

Na ang ANTI-TERRORISM Law ay isang batas na magdudulot diumano ng DISGRASYA!

Eh paano nga namang malalamang ang isang tao ay AKTIBISTA o TERORISTA…

Ala namang kasing TATTOO o marka o sagisag na nakaukit sa NOO, sa BUKONG-BUKONG o sa PUNDILYA;

Pwedeng ang TERORISTA ay magkukunwaring AKTIBISTA o kaya’y karaniwang RALLYISTA – – 

Eh di kapag may sumabog, kapag may pumutok, at  kapag may eroplanong nag-CRASH, lahat tayo’y NAKANGANGA!

Mga pangunahing bisita natin sa ating bansa’y mauukol sa PAGNENEGOSYO…

Kapag malaon na ang mga terorista sa ating bansa na MAGUUSYUSO;

Siguradong buking at mahuhuli itong mga TERORISTA- –

Pati kaya ang mga Facebook bashers ay tuluyang MAPAPAKULONG NA, pwede…BAKA!!!!

Marami po ang hindi talos na nakakaalam ng syang KATOTOHANAN…

Na ang PRANGKISA po ay hindi po naman isang lantad na KARAPATAN;

Dahil ang PRANGKISA po ay tunay na isang PRIBELIHIYO LAMANG – –

Kapag may “PRIVILEGE” po, pa-minsan-minsan, ika’y pwedeng MAKALAMANG!

Ang KONGRESO po natin ay may ‘DISCRETION”…

Na palawigin ang PRANGKISA, o bawiin kung may RASON;

At ang ‘DISCRETION” po sa katotohanan, ay kalayaan at KAPANGYARIHAN – –

Magpasya kung may makitang kamalian at ang kung anoman ang NADUMHAN!

A government agency has ordered the country’s leading broadcast network, which the president has targeted for its critical news coverage, to halt operations. (AP Photo/Aaron Favila)

DISCRETION as defined: “is the freedom to decide what should be done in a particular SITUATION”…

It actually does not require accomplishments or tasks done, for some kind of EVALUATION;

You may perhaps advance with passing COLORS, but that’s not the whole SITUATION – –

It still boils down back, to JUST and SHEER CONGRESSIONAL DISCRETION!

Sa isa pa pong kahulugan ng terminong DISCRETION…

Eh, ganito po ang syang turan, with neither REVISION nor ADDITION:

“‘Tis the power of making free choices unconstrained by external AGENCIES” – –

Kaya po ang ABS-CBN, ala pong karapatang “mag-DEMAND” even with lots of VACANT FREQUENCIES!

Kaya po tayo’y may ELECTION, upang ihalal ang syang magiging REPRESENTATION…

Yaon pong mga halal na alam ang buong “essensya” ng DISCRETION;

Ekslusibo pong kapangyarihan ito ng atin pong KONGRESO – –

Huwag po naman sana ito’y

ikabagot ninyo dahil laang kay KARDO!

JOKE, JOKE, JOKE ….

[Jeepneys play a significant role in the Philippines’ transportation system as they are the most widely used mode of transportation in the country. With the advent of jeepney modernization, jeepneys with poor emissions are being threatened to be phased out due to excessive emissions of harmful gases. These will affect the environment as well as the health of the commuters. The government has initially announced that it is not the COVID-19 PANDEMIC that has swayed it to continuously abort the re-deployment of the jeepneys in the streets. But now empirical data have shown that a return of the jeepneys into the streets of Metro-Manila will surely spike up the rate of covid infections too unprecedented and highest levels. Jeepneys have in fact been the focus of PHASE-OUT cum MODERNIZATION plans even during the MARCOS era. But all those plans got aborted due to the detrimental and consequent unemployment of those 600,000 jeepney drivers in the Philippines. With the pandemic,  which has severely affected the global economy – – with millions of employees and workers worldwide losing their means of livelihood, it has indeed opened the opportunity (while so analogous to swallowing a bitter pill), to put into effect the PHASE OUT cum MODERNIZATION plan. It is something that is DESIRABLE but equally UNPALATABLE.     I thus, have jocularly  likened the JEEPNEY to a CHIKINENEE (slang term for LOVE MARK or hickey), which during my younger days became so popular. Prudish ladies would not want to show off a HICKEY; but the prouder ones would truly want a HICKEY! It was my UP Law mate ROLLY QUIMBO who gave me the inspiration to write this FUN RHYME, with VIC CRUZ concurring unto it.]

Mukhang mayroong mga leksyon po tayong NAKUHA..

Nitong ang mga JEEPNEY ay nawala na ngang TALAGA;

Wala na halos po ang  mga dating nakakaburyong na TRAPIK  – –

At yaong mga dispalihadong JEEPNEY na panay at pulos po ang LANGITNGIT at LAGIKGIK!

Not the CHIKINENEE that you, IDOL ROLLY,  VIC CRUZ and I do KNOW – –

Has discovered and now feels that the return of the JEEPNEYS would surely CATALYZE;

A big LEAP of COVID infections (as, you know, jeepney drivers are mostly PASAWAY), will surely EMERGE – –

And all of us, will quickly be buried and be SUBMERGED!

AS SOCIAL DISTANCING WILL BE HARD TO OBSERVE,

‘CAUSE  EVERY TIME A JEEPNEY PASSES BY, INTO THE TRAFFIC TO MERGE…

Happy happy birthday my cousin-in-law JUN VENAL…

As a CANCER person born on JULY 5, you’re a THOUGHTFUL INDIVIDUAL;

In fact, you’re so very THOUGHTFUL and SENSITIVE, and you’ve become sort of THIN-SKINNED – –

But you’ve a unique talent and an eye for DETAIL, making you so truly ORGANIZATIONALLY SKILLED!

LOYALTY is one of your most laudable and noteworthy TRAIT…

And you’re so protective of your loved ones, ‘cause your honest and STRAIGHT:

You are CARING and INTUITIVE, but at times a bit MOODY- –

You’ve the best PARENTING INSTINCT that makes you the best DAD to a TEE!

You’re also a SELF-STARTER as you know when to start a THING…

You also truly know when to end them,  that’s AMAZING;

You can be counted on to make sure that everything proceeds according to PLAN – –

You’d actually look like a magician, making things happen, as though with a MAGIC WAND!

WATER is the paired element of all CANCER PEOPLE, that’s a horoscopist’s NOTION…

And as a WATER personality, you’re driven primarily by EMOTION;

A combination of emotions, thence would  fuel you into ACTION – –

And as you’re keen protecting other people, you’d feel so good, even receiving COMMENDATION!

On you natal day, which is TODAY, the FIFTH of JULY…

I’d hope and pray that you’d follow the rules of IKIGAI;

Eat LESS they say, as CANCERIANS are prone to gain weight in LATER YEARS – –

Take care of your health and stay safe, so that KIT won’t break early into TEARS!

Joking aside, I will be praying for your continued SUCCESS…

As you’re a hardworking man with abundant PROWESS;

Long life to you and good health TOO – –

Someday perhaps, we’ll be there with my son TON, and we’ll all joyfully quaff an inebriating BREW!!!!

MALIGAYANG KAARAWAN MULI JUN!!!!

Happy happiest birthday to my dear DOCTORA…

A July 5 born is a rational PERSONA;

That’s what your astrology reading SAYS- –

Knowing your horoscope at times , really truly PAYS!

You are deemed as very versatile TOO…

But ’tis said that you’re short in self-confidence, is that TRUE?

But my personal assessment negates such a TRAIT- –

I believe the astrologist failed on this, and could be FAKE!

People born today are deemed as so very IMAGINATIVE…

A creative personality who’s also so ATTRACTIVE;

And you also have a persuasive and sympathetic NATURE- –

You’re very understanding with those around you, as you LOVE them  for SURE!

You are so graceful and a bit AMBITIOUS…

You’re teeming with enthusiasm, but you should be CAUTIOUS;

Being a CANCER person, you’ve a perceptive path to LIFE- –

And you’re clingy in loving and in a cute way, making you thereby a doting WIFE!

On this your natal day, which is TODAY…

I pray and hope that you’ll find a WAY;

To erase and deface all my skin AILMENTS- –

And to prescribe unto me the best of LINIMENTS!

But joking aside, I’ll pray for your utmost SUCCESS…

Hope that you’ll become, a busy derma doctor and surely, the BEST;

Having known you as a physician with much PROWESS – –

Perhaps, someday you’d even become, among the DERMA doctors, as the  “BESTEST”!

Maligayang Kaarawan Po MULI DOCTORA LIAN!

[ANGELOU DELA ROSA is a 3rd generation descendant of a Filipino KOREAN WAR veteran. ANGELOU has since her accidental query which she posted in the DOTY Facebook page, (DOTY is acronym for DESCENDANTS OF THE YOUNG, which is an FB page organised by 3rd generation descendants of KOREAN War veterans during Daddy Max’s first term as PEFTOK Veterans Association, Inc. (PVAI) President) a year ago,  became very passionate in helping and contributing her time and computer-literacy expertise on PVAI matters and affairs. I remember one time, when a testimonial and despedida party was held in honor of a departing South Korean military attache, ANGELOU arrived at the venue, hitching a ride unto a GRAB motorcyclist while holding on to a large bundle which contained the white table covers (things that she borrowed from her kin’s catering business) to adorn and dress up the tables at the venue. Yesterday, a special PVAI board meeting was held, the first since the lockdown; and ANGELOU was requested to attend as observer and to lend a hand as the meeting will be partly using the ZOOM platform, she cordially declined as it was her birthday celebration at her cozy home with her kith and kin,]

Happy happy birthday my dear ANGELOU…

When you said you can’t come on the weekend it gave me a CLUE;

That you’ll be celebrating a cogent moment in your LIFE- –

You’ve added a year unto your age, and you’re truly getting RIPE!

RIPE indeed to assume more RESPONSIBILITIES…

Which could truly open up much more OPPORTUNITIES;

As a person born on JUNE 21, which is the GEMINI- CANCER CUSP- –

You’re considered as LUCKIEST OF COURSE – you’d say WHAT’S UP!

This point of transition is called the CUSP of MAGIC …

Because you’re truly AMAZING and so rich in LOGIC;

You can easily do and make things HAPPEN- –

For you’re a quick thinker and if you were a doctor, you’d easily make the COVID curve FLATTEN!

You’re intuitive, empathetic and so truly NURTURING…

You are the best exemplar of LOVING and CARING;

You’re even best in lending a helping HAND- –

You’re shoulder is available too for crying unto those who’re SAD and DOWN!

You are even deemed as some kind of a GENIUS…

As you are an excellent COMMUNICATOR and so fantastically STUPENDOUS;

You’d pass too as jack of all trades as you’re a HIGH ACHIEVER – –

And you’ll make a HOME, much more luxurious than that of JUSTIN BIEBER!

On your natal day, which is this SUNDAY…

I’ll pray for you and you’re FAMILY;

I hope too that you would continue to CARE and LOVE – –

Let’s all help and aid PVAI, and for sure you’ll reap more blessings from up ABOVE!

Happy happy birthday ANGELOU!!!!

[Bashers at FaceBook are so many nowadays. But they are purportedly advocating their right to criticize and their right to freedom of expression. But ooops, they are also luring the military into a mutiny, a putsch, a coup d’etat…WOW, amidst this corona virus pandemic, they are sowing divisiveness and civil strife. ARE THESE POLITICAL ANIMALS, FILIPINOS?]

Let’s not be undisciplined and most of all, of being “PASAWAY”…

If you want to really raise our FLAG “at IWAGAYWAY”;

Walang maitutulong yang “hate campaign” ninyo laban sa ating PRESIDENTE – –

Matagal-tagal na rin naman at mukhang wala naman sa inyo’y tunay na KUMAKAMPI!

Dapat nating ipagdasal ang atin pong PANGULO…

Dahil wala naman iba pa na sa ating bansa’y NANGUNGULO;

Umusal tayo ng dasal at hindi po sana BATIKOS  – –

Ang hirap nga kasi, kayo’y puro KUSKOS-BALUNGOS!

Iinit lang ang ulo at pakiramdam NINYO…

Sasabog pati ang mga butse ninyo at pusong pang-KARINYO;

Maghunos dili na nga, mga uslak KAYO – –

Hindi naman talaga ninyo makukumbinsi, ang ARMY, ang PNP at si Secretary AÑO!

Nanunulsol pa nga kayo, mag-KUDETA sa GOBYERNO…

Para kayong banyaga, hindi ba kayo FILIPINO?;

Akala ko’y PINILI na at PININO pa KAYO – –

Mukhang magaspang pa rin ang mga mukha at diskarte  NINYO!

Hindi naman kasi kayo si Cardinal SIN, si CORY, RAMOS at ENRILE…

Sobra naman kayong ambisyoso kung ang isip nyo nga ay GANIRE;

Huwag nyo ring isiping ang “majority” ay panig sa INYO – –

Kung majority talaga kayo eh di dapat KUDETA na ngayon TAYO!

Ipinaglalaban ninyo nang sukdulan, wika ay FREEDOM…

Naku eh giyera na nga ang ating KINALALAGYAN;

Isantabi po muna natin yang mga FREEDOM, FREEDOM – –

Mga buhay po ng mga tao ang siya nating munang PANGALAGAAN!

Mistulang giyera ang nangyayari po sa ating bansang GILIW…

Kalaba’y lulan sa hangin , na may hihip at ALIWIW;

Ituon natin ang labanang ito against the corona VIRUS, ‘IGAN – –

Para kahit na paano’y masabi na kayo naman pala’y puro GENIUS NAMAN!

BOW!!!!
