As we have been out for quite sometime due to personal matters but here we are again and back for more lively and juicy topics. First of all we want to greet everyone a very prosperous New Year ahead. Second we wanted to wish all the Overseas Filipino Communities the best of 2008.

Last article we took was the joke of Philippine Politics and today we would further that topic by taking up some recent events of the country. This topic is about the OMB or the Optical Media Board chaired by Mr. Edu Manzano, a showbiz personality and the host of the popular game show Pilipinas Game Ka Na Ba. Mr. Manzano or Chairman Edu has done wonderful things to the people of the country through his shows and contributions and is contiuously doing so through his works. Mabuhay ka Edu.

Sometime ago there was a rotten exploit by Mr. Chairman of illegal activities concerning the reproduction and sale of pirated discs which he told a senator and a showbiz personality himself Senator Ramon”Bong” Revilla. Unfortunately the said senator has acted ahead of time concerning the raid of a place which did not prosper. The surprising thing is that the senator has media and photographers swarming his Ahead of Time Act. This is such a shame and selfish act coming from a senator of the Philippines so desperately looking for more achievements and “POGI POINTS“. Well, to the dumb and corrupt afficionados of the Philippines it might be nothing but for us here in the US its a showboat. Puros kaplastikan ang pinapakita nitong ating senador na ito. Unfortunately the senate has sided with this SOB in stopping the funds for the OMB.

Well Mr. Bong Revilla, we know that Mr. Manzano is doing his job so let him do it properly. What can we say is the Filipino American community here in Maryland will do its very best to support the people who really helps the country regardless of politics. You have lost the credibility from us. No pogi points for you and we will see to it and in our capacity that we will continuously support the people who helps the Philippines. Tama na ang plastikan and its time for our country to move to a place of respect and development towards the betterment of the Filipino people.

The number seven fifty five is gone which lived a long good noble life of 30 years. It was spawned from the powerful bat of an aging slugger named Hank Aaron on July 20,1976. It was occasionally challenged but was never beaten till a cool evening in August in San Francisco Bay. The record of 755 finally perished at the hands of a relentless, most of the time controversial player from the west named Barry Lamar Bonds. Tuesday night PDT 8:51 PM when Barry swinged a 3-2 pitch from Washington Nationals Mike Backsic driving the ball in right-center field in the fifth inning, giving him his 756 career home runs. There was a sell out crowd at the stadium with mostly documenting the bright moment. Flashes of camera and video shots from the crowd, Bonds hitting the ball immediately dropped his bat and raised both his arms in the air as he watched the ball fly with the crowd exploding in unambiguous ecstasy and the game stopping for some minutes.

Bonds circled the bases accompanied by fireworks over the San Francisco Bay and with pointed hands in the sky as he touched home plate. He hugged his teammates with his family brought in the field to wish him of what has been the beginning of a new record to beat in Major League Baseball. Then a surprise for everyone in a stunning twist of the moment when Hank Aaron showed himself in the big screen to congratulate Barry of the record breaking homerun. The tribute left an indication that with no doubt Aaron has given Bond’s record his support and unqualified endorsement. Only 3 players in the Major League and in the last 86 years has held this feat. Babe Ruth first captured the record and surrendered it posthumously to Hank Aaron in 1974 and now it belongs to Barry Bonds.
