Kartilya: Voters' registration extended but Comelec still refuses to recognize the people's demand, cites typhoon Santi instead

CARP vs. GARB

Posted by Ronnie Clarion On February - 2009

Land distribution to landless Filipino farmers is a preset of provision under Art. XIII Sec.4 of the 1987 Constitution. Prior to this provision, former Pres. Corazon Aquino mounted the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) which was later enacted through the passage of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law (CARL) or RA 6657 on June 10, 1988. However, the program had been excoriated for its failure to completely distribute lands to the beneficiaries within its target completion timeframe of 10 years. It was later extended for another 10 years yet the struggle for genuine agrarian reform continues.

Ang Kartilya ng Katipunan

The Revolution of the Katipunan may well have been thwarted by American imperialism at the turn of the 20th century, but it is noteworthy to declare that our people, who at that time were only beginning to form the concept of nationhood, were more than able to organize a revolutionary force that would liberate the entire islands from their Spanish colonizers.

Ang pagtayo ko rito ngayon ay patunay na kayo ang aking tunay na lakas. Hindi ko inakala na darating tayo sa puntong ito, na ako’y manunumpa sa harap ninyo bilang inyong Pangulo. Hindi ko pinangarap maging tagapagtaguyod ng pag-asa at tagapagmana ng mga suliranin ng ating bayan.

Subjugating the Philippine System of Education

Posted by Christian Lloyd Espinoza On Oct - 2009

The transformation and reorientation of the current rotten system of education in the country is not possible without the development of a critical consciousness that reflects and acts upon the existing social (dis)order. Any meaningful change in our basic curriculum must be liberative of the docility that has long infringed our mentality, dissolving what little nationalist ideal there is left in the heart of every Filipino youth.

Voters' registration extended but Comelec still refuses to recognize the people's demand, cites typhoon Santi instead

The Comelec chairman and his commissioners are more becoming like the president who appointed them in their current positions.

A Comelec official announced today that they will be extending the voters' registration until Tuesday , but only to areas affected by the power outage caused by typhoon Santi. That is, to say, had Santi not wrecked havoc, the Comelec would not have ordered an extension. This only illustrates Comelec's brazen nonrecognition of the appeals of many individuals and groups that have questioned the shortened period of voters' registration.

Comelec also reasoned that they had to order the extension as against their initial plan because they could not use their data-processing machines due to the power outage. This now goes in contrast with their claims of preparedness for the 2010 poll automation. It is quite unthinkable what might transpire should there be a massive power outage during the canvassing of votes come election 2010.
