The Philippines also on the Ring of Fire!!!!!be alert people..

heavy earthquake and tsunami in japan on saturday march 12, 2011.Looking at breaking news on CNN TV i was really impressed by the force of nature based on an impressive wave coming ashore on the N.E.coast of Japan.The impact was enormously: more than 1000 peoples dead or missed they say in Tokyo.At least 20 other countries will be hit by the nature as a result of this quake.Taiwan is nearby,the Philippines ( East coastline),Northern PH,Northern Luzon,Peoples will be evacuated soonest,means since the start of tsunami at 2,35 hours(?)pm the evacuation should be done before 6 p.m.PH time.If the wave went down from 9 meters to 2 meters,even then peoples should be aware of the effects:they have to go to the second floor of their houses or be evacuated soonest.The time in between the first wave and the last one is at least 2 hours,the Phil authorities ask the peoples to stay alert untill 10 p.m.in the evening.
another effect of the tsunami is the damage from a power plant in Japan.Nuclear outfall is supposed to take place.
The whole afternoon we were watching TV, it was impossible to walk away from it.Water destroyed evrything,houses,land,crops,schools,trains were down placed,nuclear plant on fire,unbelievable.
we wish all peoples in Japan courage to continue with their lives,we wish them all courage to say farewell to the dead peoples,we pray for Japan,God bless Japan.
Question: is the Philippines ready to withstand such an earthquake?Are the houses quake proved? Answer(s);the houses can stand a quake of 5 to 6(7),the capital city Manila is a problem,the bay of Manila and the Pasig river will be rough and dangerous at that time.We need a system of waterway defence system,such as in the Netherlands,after the 1953 disaster.The bay is a dangerous spot,the whole of manila will be under water,many peoples will die.So President,do something,mobilize the House and Senate,make funds available,make peoples alert for a massive eartquake.Because also we are on the Ring of Fire!!
God bless us!

chaos in manila, another failure of LIM ( mayor)

One of the most visible examples of the lack of discipline and failure of law enforcement in this country is the chaotic traffic in Metro Manila.
this statement is given by philstar.com, a leading Manila newspaper and E-lectronic newspaper.

I agree!

and even then it is a beautiful country with beautiful people,with excellent food,with beautiful sand beaches.

but chaotic and NO rules

i can buy a drivers license without any knowledge about rules and language,no problem nobody follows the rules,there are no traffic signs,and law enforcement? forget it,just pay the amount that has been mentioned to you.
i like PH!
But i will never live in manila.

Seriously,when you want to solve the traffic chaos,then donot only punish the(electric) trycycles,these men are now without income=no food,no water,no rice.Then organise a reorganisation programme,give them a chance to obtain another job.
hehe.............this mayor will never learn it..

reproductive health,you want more classrooms,why not control population?

what do we see this week?again the discussion and debate about getting children in the philippines.Do the parents want sex education or leave it just to the Catholic Church,saying no reproductive health bill at all.!
the yearly increase of population is more than 1,5 million peoples with a population which is over 90 million!!!!!!
what do we read in the newspapers:
quote

DepEd pressed to cancel reproductive health plan ............................................................................

unquote
.I discussed this topic several times in a Forum/Group in Friendster.com
i got numerous reactions,comments and even negative response.
leave it to the parents..................what? the parents ,esp.of poor families in faraway areas,barangays,have no idea about birth control,about pre conditional items,about a responsable parenthood.And when interested parties advocate birth control,let it be condoms,than the whole country is upset!
God will tell the parents to get children,go and multiply,......................................
The Church is totally against a stricter birth control program.
No birth regulation they say.
The DEpEd only wants to bring more educational materials about the matter into the classrooms.Just to study and make the families more aware of the effects of unlimited birth in this country.
Being more poor families,more children,less classrooms,less teachers,no buildings to accommodate them all.
Health situation deteriorates during unlimited birth increase.
result,the government has to supply enormous quantities of food to these poor peoples.
i accept that a developing country needs time to level up their population to a responsable standard/family.
But we can not close our eyes for the growing number of births.

It is very easy to punish the big companies in USA and Europe which want to sell their birth control programs to the PH.It is too easy to fulminate against them.or against similar organizations which advocate a Reproductive Health Policy.I remember the Opinion sites of PH newspapers which were fumigating against the Ambassador of the European Union when he adressed the PH about a reproductive health program.
We are certainly following the Presidents ideas and his Cabinet members ideas
about this topic.
It seems that the President is totally aware of the problem ,but he is also under heavy pressure of the Catholic Church.We should not underestimate their influence in the PH.
Overall we follow the developments and for more details see my articles in Friendster.com,Forum and Group pages,see item Reproductive Health Bill.

maraming salamat

WORLD BIGGEST FREE TRADE AREA:ASEAN-CHINA FTA

GOOD DAY FRIENDS OF BLOGGER,FOLLOWERS AND WRITERS,
TODAY WE DISCUSS THE NEWEST F.T.A. CREATED BETWEEN ASEAN AND CHINA.
ASEAN IS THE SOUTH EAST ASIAN ASSOCIATION, INCLUDING MY HOMELAND THE PHILIPPINES.
THE SIX FOUNDING FATHERS OF ASEAN ARE:BRUNEI, INDONESIA, MALAYSIA, PHILIPPINES, SINGAPORE, THAILAND.VIETNAM AND CAMBODIA JOINED ASEAN.
UNDER THE AGREEMENT CHINA AND ASEAN ARE TO ELIMINATE BARRIERS TO INVESTMENT AND TARIFFS ON 90% OF THE PRODUCTS.
NO DOUBT THE PARTICIPANTS SPEAK ABOUT THE BIGGEST FREE TRADE AREA IN THE WORLD.
lIBERALIZING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN GOODS AND INVESTMENTS COVERING A MARKET OF 1,7 BILLION CONSUMERS!!!!!
THEY SAY WE ARE ABLE TO BE A REAL RIVAL OF OF THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE NORTH AMERICAN FREE TRADE AREA.(N.A.F.T.A.)( IN TERMS OF VALUE AND SURPASS THOSE MARKETS IN TERMS OF POPULATION.

ANYWAY THE SIGNAL IS VERY CLEAR:THE ASEAN IS OPEN !!!!
IT WILL BOOST THE TRADE IN THE INTRA-REGION.
CHINA IS GETTING STRONGER IN THE WORLD.YESTERDAY IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT THEY SURPASSED GERMANY, BEING NOW THE FIRST EXPORTING COUNTRY!!

CHINA HAS OVERTAKEN USA AND IS NOW THE THIRD TRADING PARTNER OF ASEAN.
IT WILL SOON SURPASS E.U. AND JAPAN TO BE NUMBER ONE.
(SAYS MR.PUSHPANATHAN OF ASEAN).

WE SHOULD HOWEVER NOT FORGET THAT THESE DEVELOPMENTS NEED A LONG TIME BEFORE BEING IMPLEMENTED.
AND THE PARLIAMENTS AND THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS HAVE TO APPROVE ALL THESE IDEALS.
WE HAVE SEEN SIMILAR DEVELOPMENTS IN THE E.U. AND IT GOES UP AND DOWN EVERYTIME, GOOD PERIODS AND BAD PERIODS WITH BARRIERS AGAIN.THE PHILIPPINES HAVE TO BE VERY ALERT,YOU CAN GAIN IF YOU ARE PREPARED FOR THE BATTLE, IF NOT YOU CAN LOOSE THE COMPETITION ON THE WORLD MARKETS.
ANY WAY CONGRATULATIONS TRADE PARTNERS,A BIG STEP FORWARD.
GOD BLESS THE PHILIPPINES.
