    Default Who are the filipino people?


    Even Gen DOuglas MacArthur can answer that very QUESTION ... WHO ARE THE FILIPINO PEOPLE? Remember when he said :

    " Give me 1000 FIlipino's and I will conquer the world . "
    " A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. " - 2nd Amendment , Bill of Rights of the United States of America

    Default Who are the filipino people?

    After reading all this I now feel giddy like a little girl waiting to see her school-girl crush. Congratulations everyone, now that we feel better about ourselves, lets get to work. Or shall we indulge ourselves with past accomplishments and let it fester until it loses meaning and relevance? Allow me to end with a quote ...

    Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.

    -- Norman Vincent Peale

    Pedrocar41,

    We need more people like u!

    Kung familiar paka sa lyrics sa band nga Asin and Freddie Aguilar then ganahan jud ka sa atong race.

    >HOY PINOY AKO!!! What a great song from the band, BAMBOO!
    the song is great but same old style by bamboo. ang style sa verse almost same sa mga songs in that album nga naay 'Himala' nga song sa Rivermaya. But at least iya own band na off from rehab i guess.

    Thanks for that MelodyMan.

    One thing that we Filipinos should change is our fatalistic attitude. Let's begin to say "I can do this" instead of regressing to fear and low self-esteem. Shout to the world "Pinoy ako, buo aking loob." Let us not be afraid to take a chance.

    [size=14px]Top PMA grad sent home by US academy for shoplifting[/size]
    By Jaime Laude
    The Philippine Star 11/24/2004

    A young Army officer who graduated at the top of his class at the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) was sacked from a US military school and sent home in disgrace for alleged shoplifting.

    And for allegedly stealing a compact disc (CD) worth a measly $12.95, the military career of 2Lt. Rolly Joaquin, valedictorian of PMA Class 2004, now hangs in the balance as he was placed under arrest on his return here last Oct. 28 to face court martial.

    Army spokesman Maj. Bartolome Bacarro said Joaquin was dismissed from the US Army Infantry School at Fort Benning in Georgia where he had been sent for an officer’s training course.

    Joaquin reportedly removed a 50-cent discount tag from a sale item and attached it to a $12 CD that he purchased from a store there.

    "There was (a) sale in one of the stores and apparently, he interchanged the tag price of $0.50 attached to compact disc on sale and placed it over the $12.95 tag price on another CD which is not included in the sale," Bacarro said.

    He said Joaquin was monitored by the store’s closed-circuit camera which led to his arrest.

    As topnotcher of his class, Joaquin received a study grant from the United States Military Assistance Group (JUSMAG) for the Basic Officers Course at Fort Benning.

    Joaquin was also the first among all PMA graduates to have delivered the valedictory address during their graduation early this year.

    "On October 26, the Philippine Army received an information from the JUSMAG... that (a) Filipino student of the Infantry Officer Basic Course held at Fort Benning is being sent back to the Philippines by the US Army Infantry School after having been apprehended for shoplifting," Bacarro told a news conference yesterday.

    He said Joaquin will be immediately restricted to quarters at Fort Bonifacio upon his arrival from the US.

    And if probable cause is established in an ongoing inquiry, Joaquin could be put on trial in a military tribunal for conduct unbecoming an officer, Bacarro said.

    "Independent from possible court-martial proceedings in violations of Articles of War 96 and... 97, subject officer can also be administratively charged under the (military’s) Efficiency and Separation Board," Bacarro said.

    The shoplifting case is the latest black eye for the Armed Forces following the controversy generated by the corruption trial of retired Maj. Gen. Carlos Garcia and an Army major who is under investigation for allegedly soliciting oral *** from military recruits.

    The latest scandals also focused on the quality of graduates produced by the country’s premier military institution.

    "It’s not the quality of education at the PMA at question here, but rather it has something to do with personal character," Bacarro said in response to questions over PMA graduates.

    Joaquin’s case cropped up barely four days after a videotape of Army Maj. Ferdinand Ramos, a member of PMA Class ’88, was shown on national television in an "compromising position" with an Army trainee.

    The military said the videotape would be used as evidence in filing the appropriate charges against Ramos.

    Ramos, a trainer assigned at the Army’s Light Armor Brigade (LAB) in Capas, Tarlac, was also ordered restricted to quarters pending investigation of his case publicized by a certain Richard who claimed to be one of his victims.

    Bacarro said the LAB’s Provost Marshal would start conducting the investigation on Ramos to establish probable cause for another possible court martial.

    Bacarro downplayed the two latest controversies involving Army officers, saying they were "isolated" in the 70,000-strong command.

    He also assured the Army leadership will slap appropriate sanctions against erring officers.

    "The Army leadership would like to take this opportunity to assure the public that these matters will be addressed accordingly and that appropriate punishment shall be meted out commensurate to the offense committed," Bacarro said.

    "These two unfortunate incidents involving two Army officers (are) not representative of the entire Philippine Army as an organization, it is not representative of the more than 70,000 Army personnel.

    These are isolated incidents involving individual acts," Bacarro further said. — With AFP report


    The Class valedictorian, 2nd Lt. Rolly Angeles Joaquin, said the millions of pesos that the government had invested in each PMA graduate were not spent in vain.

    "On behalf of my classmates, I would like to thank the Filipino people. Without you, we would not be here. The 2.1 million pesos you spent for each of us will not be wasted," Joaquin said in the first valedictory address ever given in the PMA.
    All it took was a $12.95 CD to shoot that 2.1 million pesos investment down the sewer!!

    What is embarrasing is not as much as dishonesty by this guy but the stupidity not to realize that products are barcoded which will reveal the price. PMA! bah.
