A message for the Anti-RH Bill Congressmen!

Posted by Ferg on 12/05/2012

To: Bishop Gabriel Reyes of the Philippines-Episcopal Commission on Family and Life and his lackeys, the ANTI-RH Bill Congressmen, who have been exhorted not to pass the RH Bill without much more serious consideration.

We’ve had 15 years of your consideration and unconscionable delaying games so far, how much more do you need before you wake up to the facts of life in today’s modern society?

Typhoon Pablo

Posted by Ferg on 12/05/2012
Posted in: Uncategorized.

It’s 0820 hours on Wednesday, December 5, 2012. In Iloilo we are still under a Signal 3 Typhoon Warning, but all is calm and quiet. In our immediate area, in suburban Oton, we have seen no damage and no flooding. The storm according to PAGASA is headed to Palawan and it looks by its current track that northern Palawan is in for a direct hit, although the storm has weakened somewhat it is still packing winds of over 130 KPH. Hope Palawan gets through this OK…Here is the PAGASA satellite map showing the position of the storm at 0600 hours.

Thank goodness, it missed us.
