ABS-CBN’s Harapan, RH Bill: Ipasa o Ibasura

ABS-CBN with ANC (ABS-CBN News Channel) organized a debate about the Reproductive Health Bill, it was televised late Sunday night on ABS-CBN and early Monday morning on ANC. They invited known personalities to defend both sides.

Against the RH Bill were Rep. Anthony Golez, Rep. Roilo Golez, Dr. Ligaya Acosta of Human Life International, Fr. Melvin Castro of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), Atty. Jo Imbong of CBCP Family and Life and former Laguna Governor Joey Lina. (Source:  http://www.abs-cbn.com/Feature/Article/9658/Are-you-for-or-against-the-RH-Bill-.aspx)

And on the Pro side were, Rep. Janette Garin and Rep. Edcel Lagman, two of the authors of the RH bill, Protestant Bishop Rodrigo Tano, Carlos Celdran, former Department of Health Sec. Esperanza Cabral, Beth Angsioco, and former Akbayan Rep. Risa Hontiveros-Baraquel will rally behind the Pro RH Bill.

People keep on arguing about the birth controls. For me, since it’s still the choice of the couple if they want to use it or not, it's fine! It is not by the way mandatory. And they aren't saying that after the n-th child, they are no longer allowed to have another child just like in the other countries.

On abortion, the Anti side is telling that passing this Bill is equivalent to legalization of abortion in the country while the Pro side rest assured that abortion won’t be legalized after the Bill passed.

Sex Education, the Pros wanted Sex educated to be taught as early as grade1. This is okay with me as long as they hire REALLY GOOD teachers!

These are just few of the topics that they discussed.  I am indeed Pro-RH Bill. I do not really understand everything about it but I guess my limited knowledge is just enough not to be against it.

I Love Carlos Celdran!

Happy Graduation!

It is just recently when I realized that I was present in 3 graduations this 2011, one in elementary, one in high school and the other is in college. Complete attendance ako!

After all the hard works, the sermons of my mom, etc. March 31, 2011, my youngest brother finally graduated elementary at Our Lady of Victory Chapel in Victoneta.

Congrats Adam! 

The second graduation I attended is my cousin's grad! We were like 10 or less who came to his graduation because he's the batch Valedictorian and we all wanted to hear his speech! Gladly, we were all able to enter their auditorium even without passes! April 6, 2011

His awards! Ikaw na maraming award!

They stayed on the stage while reading all his awards and the certificates. Congrats Vince!

Third is my cousin's grad also. Graduated Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering! Out of 600+ graduates, only 14 graduated Civil Engineering! Woah! Ikaw na! April 28, 2011 PICC

Congrats Kuya Mari!

Kudos to you all! Congrats! Happy Graduation!
Sorryyyyy, very late post!

Make my 18th on the 18th extra special!

It's summer! It only means I'm doing nothing! Days gone by very fast! I can really feel my birthday is fast approaching! AND I still do not have any plans, not planning to throw a party or something like that. Just see my wishlist! Will only be posting 10 which I really want. :D

#1
A DSLR! I'm actually waiting for my 18th to ask my parents to buy me one. I'm not very particular with the brand or the unit because I'm willing to learn photography and I believe that It doesn't really depend to the unit but with the one who's taking the photos and learning how to maximize the features of the camera is also important. Unfortunately, they seemed do not want me to have one. :(

#2
A Laptop! Not really what I want because my mind is already set on having a DSLR. But my mom always tell me to have a laptop rather than having a DSLR. And when I'm thinking on what a laptop can do for me, I'm also wanting it. I can't have both but laptop will always be in second in my list!

#3

A Travel treat, all expenses paid. Wanting to be in Ilocos, Sagada, Bohol and Palawan.

Being in Ilocos has always been first on my travel list

#4

A kiddie party theme for my birthday celebration. It is already in the culture of the Filipino to have a "handaan" when someone is celebrating his/her birthday. Having a party is not really my priority because since I was a child, we are not used in to having "handaan" for a birthday. So, it wouldn't matter if I won't have one but if ever, I want a kiddie party! :)

#5

A shopping treat!! For a girl, who wouldn't want free shopping! :)) Wanna have new clothes (though I have lots of clothes still with tags on them), also new bags and new shoes.

#6

A rayban shades! Because it's summer, Just right for the beach! :)) But very pricey kasi e. The Aviators or Wayfarer or Clubmaster.

I want wayfarer!

#7

Of course! A cash! Summer, no baon. I need money to enjoy my summer vacation! :))

I prefer having dollars Hahaha. $$

#8

Something on sticky notes or in anywhere. I want to have the classical themes in a debut using sticky notes. Like, my 18 roses (I'm curious on who you'll be picking as the last dance! Hahah!), listed in a sticky notes and the reason why you chose them to be on the list. Also 18 candles I want to read your messages, wishes and most unforgettable moments with me. The 18 treasures, I don't need the gift itself. I just want you to write what you will give to me if you were the richest person alive and what will you offer me if you were the poorest person alive! Hahahah! I think this would be fun!

#9

Love! Of course, who wouldn't want love from everyone? :)

#10

I believe this will be the least that I can get. SMILE. :) Making me smile can complete my day! :)

Who then can give me all? HAHAHAHA! Kiddin'

Puerto Galera! (2009)

Same year as our Batangas Trip in 2009, my swimming friends wanted a vacation because ever since summer started we all became busy for the swimming lessons. We invited almost everyone in the team, for a Batangas Trip only. And yes, we ended up 4 in the group. Pero, syempre go pa din!

Take a bus to Batangas port, then we decided to go Puerto Galera na lang kasi 1 ride na lang andun na kami. Hahaha!!

Nasa bus na. Off to Batangas! :)

Nasa boat na! Di uso maglife vest. I remember, pinaguusapan namin dito na kapag lumubog yung bangka, magogoggles and fins na lang kami at yung life vest, para sa mga gamit namin! Hahaha!

Finally, after ng maalon at nakakahilong biyahe sa boat. We’re in Puerto Galera na! Hahaha! Ace has a contact person there. Kaya no more problem sa room and super thankful kami kasi the room only costs 1500 per night, with discount na yata yung rate. Nakamura sa room! Tamang-tama, short kami sa budget kasi we only brought enough for a Batangas Trip!

Had bonggang lunch (bongga na yan para sa mga walang budget!) Hahaha!

Look how big that porkchop was! Tapos unlimited rice pa yan. It's only a hundred pesos! Solve na solve na! :)

Wala nang araw paglabas namin sa room dahil trip naming magpahinga hanggang sa nagkatamaran na!  :))

Elka’s hair was braided! It was cute! :D

After swimming we had our dinner. Then time for picture taking! Hahaha. All smiles kami kasi naka smile detector mode yata! Hahaha.

It’s DAY 2. Si Ace ay known bilang maaga magising! Para magkaroon ng karamay at magising na din kami ang sabi samin, 10am na daw. And we’re late for our island hopping/snorkling for that day! Panic mode! Bangon agad, pero nung binuksan ang TV. Ang palabas ay isang early morning TV show! Hahaha! Buking!

Cup noodles, coffee and pandesal for breakfast. Fix ourselves. Bringing some snacks and drinking water is a MUST when you go island hopping, especially if the group really wanted snorkling because it’s really dehydrating! 

Breakfast. Haggard naman ng itsura ko! Nakajacket pa kami ni Elka! Hahaha!

Off to our first stop for snorkling! :)

Because we love having our fins! ♥

Let's go to the next stop! :D

Pandesal and Vienna Sausage, our baon.

Picture taking sa boat! We had like 3-4 stops for snorkling! Thanks sa fins, malayo ang nararating namin. At sa current na napakalakas! Nakakapagod bumalik sa boat! 

Here are some of our underwater pictures! Ang hirap magpose underwater! Haha!

After snorkeling pictures!  Since we’re tired because of the non-stop swimming we decided to have a bongga lunch! We again ate where we had our first lunch at Puerto. Yun ulit, in short! (yun lang keri ng budget e. Hahaha. But, super busog!)

We rest/sleep at the room for a while then went pasalubong hunting! Mura ng mga goods. Marami-marami pa din ang nabili namin kahit short kami sa budget! Lakas loob lang! Haha!

Our bongga lunch! We loved the table! Jetski. :)

Looking for pasalubong.

We bought same shirts! Here's our pictorial! I'll just post only few because we really had a lot! Hahaha! 

Very maiitim na ang legs! Hahaha!

Of course, we had solo pictures!

Formal!

Wacky! Borrowed Ace's things! 

Hahahahaha! This is Ace! Nice idea e? :)))

Baliw na! :))

Pagandahan ng ayos ng kama! Ace and mine is the one in the left and Ivan and Elka's is the one in the right. Yung towel sa lapag, punasan daw ng paa! Hahaha!

Okay, SPAM for dinner! :)

DAY 3. Had breakfast then go swimming. Had lunch. Then HOME! :)

Same Bags! All from SPEEDO! Hahaha!

What's this? Hahaha. Pahirapan? :)))

Boat. Pauwi! Bye, Puerto Galera! :)

 Long post? Yiii, Sorry! :))

 Enjoyed a lot! Super 00.00 ang balance pagdating sa house! :))
