Chicken or Egg, Condom or Kids?


This is quite a chicken or egg situation, if you will ask my opinion. Most people's morality find it unacceptable to teach kids the use of condoms. After all, they're not even supposed to be having sex that early. However, the fact remains that a lot of them do and that comes with the usual pregnancy and STD issues.

If you are a parent or the head of state, what choice will you make? Will you teach the use of contraceptives and safe sex? Or, will you ask them to go blind on this issue, while they are still young?

I am 15 years old now...I did not know anything about sex and condoms and all that stuff when I was young. I did not make any mistakes either. I am happy that my parents did not tell me till I was mature enough to take the news. If they told me then, I would probably be out there making bad mitakes that would effect my future horribly. Thanks Mom and Dad...

Land Reform: Land of Bondage Land of the Free

One of the most moving speeches that I've read. During grade school, this was the most often recited elocution piece in my school. Here it is, the text of Raul Manglapus' Land of Bondage, Land of the Free. Land of Bondage, Land of the Free By Raul Manglapus And yet, ladies and gentlemen, the tao is constitutionally free! No wonder, then, that the tao being a slave has acquired the habits of a slave. No wonder that after three centuries in chains, without freedom, without hope, he should lose the erect and fearless posture of a freeman, and become the bent, misshapen, indolent, vicious, pitiful thing that he is! Who dares accuse him now? Who dares rise up in judgement against this man, reduced to this subhuman level by three centuries of oppession? Ladies and gentlemen the tao does not come here tonight to be judged -- but to judge! Hear then his accusation and his sentence: I indict the Spanish encomendero for inventing taxes impossible to pay! I indict the usurer for s...

US PRESIDENTIAL CONVOYS

A columnist for a Philippine newspaper talks about the costs and massive preparations required by the US Secret Service whenever President Bush and other (US Presidents) travel outside of Washington DC. I remember watching a CNN report that showed how big a US presidential convoy is, compared to the two vehicle transport being used by Prime Minister Tony Blair of the UK.

How's the Philippine Economy?

The papers report the following: Mutual Funds are UP: First Metro leads the pack with a yield of 18% (year-to-date)with the others, not too far behind. It simply means that an investment made at the start of the year would have already earned 18% of its original value, by now. The Philippine currency is UP: The peso is close to breaking below PhP 48 to a dollar. The Stock Market index is close to attaining an all time (Pre Asian Crisis level). What does it actually say? The continued success of the country's Mutual Funds will most probably lure more foreign (short term investments) into the country. With the american mutual funds market hitting an average of only 10% for the entire 2006, more hot money can be expected to come in. If this momentum continues, coupled with a sustained increase in OFW (overseas foreign workers) remittances, and the absence of a sharply negative occurence in all the other sectors of the economy, the US dollar will most likely continue to decline.
