“Magaling Si BBM Kasi Pumili Siya Ng Magaling Na Secretary Of Justice!” – Frank A Hilario, Full-Blooded Ilocano

“Magaling si BBM kasi pumili siya ng magaling na Secretary of Justice!” I say. (BBM is wise choosing a wise Secretary of Justice!) I say he knows what he is doing is right – “he” referring to either or both of them.

Sol Nolasco shares on Facebook (inset) PH Justice Sec Jesus Crispin Remulla’s declaration from the Daily Tribune about the drug case of his son Juanito Jose Remulla III:

Isang pagsubok lang Ito sa aking pamilya, sa aking sarili, at marahil, in so many ways, pagsubok sa ating bansa on how we handle a sensitive matter like this… I'm the head of the Justice Department, I will let justice take its course.

This is only one test for my family, for myself, and maybe, in so many ways, test for our country on how we handle a sensitive matter like this… I'm the head of the Justice Department, I will let justice take its course. (my translation)

Repeat: Juanito’s father is PH President BBM’s appointee as Secretary of Justice.

“I will let justice take its course” – Justice Secretary Remulla.

And that should be our exact attitude when it comes to President Ferdinand “BBM” Edralin Marcos Jr and family’s alleged crimes – we owe it to our country and to our families!

Let’s learn:

“We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools” – Martin Luther King Jr.

“Do not judge, so that you will not be judged” – Matthew 7:1 (New American Standard Bible).

“Never forget that justice is what love looks like in public” – Cornel West.

“The strictest judges are ignorant people” – Eraldo Banovac.

If you insist on judging people, you must be perfect, people!

Jairo Bolledo says, “Drug Complaint Vs Boying Remulla’s Son A Test [Of] Justice System – NUPL President,” 14 Oct 2022, Rappler, rappler.com), quoting National Union of Peoples’ Lawyers (NUPL) President Edre Olalia saying:

It is a litmus test on one, the integrity of the justice system, particularly the prosecutorial service, as well as the trust of the public and confidence on the integrity of the process. Most especially the families, the human rights defender of those not privileged enough to be [in] the same situation as the son of the Justice Secretary.

I agree 100%. So, let the wheels of justice roll – let us not direct them where to go!

On Facebook, you will always see snide remarks & insinuations that the Marcoses are guilty of the crimes that people accuse them of. That is to say, each of those people knows more and better than and does not trust the Justice System of the Philippines.

I do!

Who am I saying all that in favor of PH’s Justice System? A non-conformist. I was “extremed” 1960s from UP Los Baños – readmitted, I graduated with my BSA major in Ag Edu with 2.36 weighted average. Among other achievements, I am the one-and-only “Outstanding Alumnus For Creative Writing” in the entire history of the UP System.

With Sec Remulla, I insist: “Let Justice take its course”!@517

Lessons Learned From Roman Catholic “Father Acong” About Successfully Building Basic Ecclesial Communities (BECs) With Enduring Love

Image
I have been reading & rereading the book “ Father Ciriaco Alberto Sevilla, Jr – MSK Trailblazer” (242 pages, published 2010 in Lucena City, edited by Milwida S Reyes ). A 12-year-old book – is the content still relevant to come up with a new version? My answer is, “Yes!” Personally, I want the book to highlight the love for the poor parishioners that Father Acong showed, as he had single-mindedly created 400+ Basic Ecclesial Communities (BECs) in the far-flung villages of Quezon Province before he died Oct 2007. If that is not love for the poor, I don’t know what love is! About the BECs, Msgr Lope C Robredillo, VG, says [“An Overview Of The Basic Ecclesial Communities (BECs), From The Other Side Of History , msgrlope.blogspot.com ]: The Second Plenary Council of the Philippines devotes two paragraphs to describe the BECs… “They are small communities of Christians, usually of families who gather together around the Word of God and the Eucharist.” As Roman Catholic, an edit

“Creative Freedom” – UP, Time To Replace Your Symbol Of Academic Freedom!

It occurred to me today, Sunday, 16 October 2022, that changing the symbol of the University of the Philippines System (UP) is long overdue – because the Oblation (smaller but sunnier image) has ever inspired disapproval , even radicalism, and never creativity ! This is a creative person writing, self-taught in communication and in digital media – yes, I am a UP alumnus, 1965. The bigger image is my photograph (taken 29 July 2016) of the fiberglass sculptural piece of Maria Pureza Escaño , which she titles “The Rose Of Marya: Service Through Excellence” ( Maria Pureza Escaño , weebly.com ). Commissioned by the Sigma Delta Sorority , “Marya” is now a landmark at the UP Los Baños Alumni Plaza. Ms Maria says of it: Recently, Maria Pureza Escaño was handpicked by the University of the Philippines for her concept and rendition of "The Rose of Marya: Service through Excellence," an allegorical seven-foot fiber glass sculpture celebrating100 years of excellence and service to

Searca Tuesday, 28 April 2020, 10:00 AM, embarks on a Southeast Asian voyage of discovering and/or uncovering pieces & sets of knowledge on food security given the global coronavirus outbreak.  It is a webinar series to “ highlight concrete actions in agriculture and rural development in Southeast Asia.” The series to be launched is called “Searca Online Learning & Virtual Engagement,” acronym SOLVE, which is Searca’s “effort to break boundaries, both physical and conceptual, to strategically disseminate just-in-time solutions.” It is ambitious, but the times call for it. Searca Director Glenn B Gregorio says of it: The new normal brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic has firmed up Searca’s resolve to embark on new modalities and use technology-mediated platforms of interactions to effectively deliver context-relevant and valuable services to its stakeholders, including farmers and the public. SOLVE is virtual but the learnings are real. Mr Gregorio said: SOLVE particularly hi
