SMCC Librarians!

According to Dr. Genaro Japos, "the Church is a sanctuary for the soul and the Library is a sanctuary for the mind." 
Thank you so much for the enlightenment and for recognizing the significant role of librarians in research and academics . You are such a very perspicacious person! I've learned a lot from you, Doc, especially on the field of library and information science. RESEARCH is indeed Exciting!

Philippine Political Salad



I pity these frustrated political analysts or should I say, "Accidental Political Analysts on Social Media". They're very dogmatic and subjective. They should present nothing but facts! Yes. I know that they're watching or reading the news! I know that they're always updated online... but if they will tell me that they've acquired their info/facts from Google, I will really laugh at them! ðŸ‘Š
You know, I'm starting to believe that the Mainstream Media is BIASED and controlled. Isn't it obvious? You can actually notice the extreme diversion, right?! If you're going to ask me... I'm still interested in the issue of Electoral Fraud. The story is getting more exciting! I am still a fan of Atty. Glenn Chong! ðŸ‘Š
Also, if they have problems with Mocha or anyone in the regime, they absolutely have the freedom to send a complaint to the Ombudsman! Instead of cussing and bashing her, go make a complaint. They are free to do that! I strongly believe too that Mocha needs to apologize to the LP (lots of people)!
Honestly, I don't give a s*** about Mocha. I think that the "Pepe and Dede" stuff is not a major issue at all. Let's focus more on the huge controversy on the electoral fraud or election manipulation! I really wanna commend Atty. Glenn Chong for exposing the vote rigging! It's really a great surprise! 

Smartmatic or Smart Magic?

And oh... There are tingling whispers into my ears that Koko Pimentel is a traitor! He's a former LP member, you know. Some are saying that he's probably a Trojan Horse! Possibly, he's just pretending to be red. You know, like the Queso de Bola. It's red on the outside but definitely yellow on the inside! Alarming, isn't it?

Tae: Isang Alegoriya


Ang akala mo'ng kakampi na si Kuko ay isang Keso de Bola pala. Sa labas ay pula pero ang totoo, sa loob ay dilaw pala. Kaya siguro parang pinipigilan niyang magsalita si Chonggo ay dahil natatakot siyang lumabas ang tunay niyang kulay. Isa palang traydor si Kuko. Dapat mag-ingat sa kanya si Tatay.
Dahil sa ginawang sayaw ni Mukha at ng kanyang kaibigan, nagalit si Kuko dahil isa daw itong insulto para sa Lupang Sinilangan. Ngunit, sino ba ang hangal sa lipunan? Di ba yung mga nagpapanggap na disente tulad ni Abunoy na akala mo'y malinis, mas madumi pa pala sa taeng dilaw na kanyang kinabibilangan!
Bumalik tayo kay Kuko. Akala ko ba Pula ang kanyang puso, bakit parang dilaw ang kanyang dugo? Tayo ba ay kanyang inuuto? Ako lang ba o ikaw ang nalilito? Bakit niya binabara si Chonggo? May naaamoy ba kayong mabaho? Natatakot ata itong si Kuko na mabuko!
Siguro kung titignang mabuti, mas may ginagawa pa si Mukha para sa bayan, di tulad ng mga nasa taas tulad ni Lugaw, Saba Queen, Abunoy, AntiVeros, Bambini, Kiko Matsing, Baboylon, at Thrililing, puro panunuligsa ang alam gawin. Marumi nga bang babae si Mukha? May kababuyan nga ba siyang ginawa? Oops teka, ating isa-isahin itong mga buwayang halang ang kaluluwa!
Si Lugaw, uhaw na uhaw sa kapangyarihan ni Tatay. Ang taas ng pangarap. Puro mali ang hinahanap. Siya ba'y walang ginagawa o nagpapakasarap? Gusto atang mag-artista? Bakit puro interviews at Pa-Press Con ang ginagawa?
Kay Saba Queen na naman tayo.. Kita mo nang may kasalan talaga, ayaw pa ring magpaputol ng sungay! Pati Simbahan dinadamay. Todo kampi naman itong mga Maruruming Pari sa Anay!
Si Thrililing na animoy baliw. Isa syang sundalong kanin! Ginagawa niya'y hindi dapat purihin! Isa siyang rebelde na dapat tapusin! Naghahanap ng gusot at puro palusot. Tanga ba itong si bansot? Kita mo naman ngayon, mga propesyonal, umaangal sa kanyang desisyon! Dapat sa kanya, turuan ng leksyon!
Si AntiVeros na mukhang virus. Ano ba ang tunay niyang layunin. Pati kalusagan natin, balak niyang Kurakutin. Ano pa ba ang gusto niyang huthutin? Nag-aastang disente na nakasalamin!
Si Kiko Matsing na magaling. Maayos naman sana ang kanyang layunin pero ang hirap lang isipin, bakit sa Dilaw na Tae pa rin sya dumadalangin? Bakit hindi niya nalang suportahan ang Tatay natin? Sabi nga sa kanta ni Ultra Mega Star, "unti-unting mararating.. kalangitan at bituin..."  Bakit hindi nalang sya umayon sa ating mithiin? 
At naku... itong si Baboylon! Bakit ba natin siya binigyan ng pagkakataon? Binigyan ulit natin sya ng kapangyarihang pamunuan tayo. Ewan ko lang ha.. hindi ko naman sya pinili. Bakit ba siya nagwagi? Teka teka... May problema yata ang Matalinong Makina.. May nangyaring dayaan ba? Ano ba talaga ang ginagawa nitong si Baboylon? Natutulog lang naman ito tuwing may diskusyon! Anak ng Baboy, ba't ito nanalo sa Eleksyon?

Hala... Oo nga pala. Nakalimutan ko si Bambini, mga madla... Si Bambini ay... 👊
