Dear Heavenly Father,
We pray to you as our brothers and sisters lay in your loving arms, to please help their Family to be strong in this unfortunate tragedy due to some inconsiderable actions.
We also ask for forgiveness in your heavenly name to all the Hongkong Nationals that this Incident brought their country to mourn together with the world.
As a Filipino we feel for the shameful action of our Kababayan who hostage those innocent people.
Oh Mighty Father please help our Nation to recover from this tragedy and humiliation.
Guide us to accept and understand why this have to happened. we take this as a challenge in rebuilding our nation. And take this as a wake up call.
Guide those people we've elected into power to lead the Philippine National Police in the right path, (as what P*noy promises during his campaign) and be strong enough to face the world in regards to this matter.
Please help the victims family left behind to not think of any actions that might lead to another tragedy.
As a Nation we beg you Oh Heavenly Father for your understanding and love to our Kababayan SPO Mendoza. we pray for his soul to be in peace and forgive himself on the wrong things he made. And for his family and loved ones to be strong and accept the reality of life as the whole world condemned their dear SPO Mendoza.
Together with the world, All Mighty Father we ask for your loving hand to heal our hearts from the pain and lost that we obtained from this terrifying Nightmare.
This we ask to our Lord
AMEN

Nightmare In Luneta
Luneta Park (formerly Bagumbayan), the place where the Philippines' National Hero Dr. Jose P. Rizal's shrine is located. It's a very Historical place for Filipino. It's a place where a lot of Historical event took place. Part of Luneta Park is the Quirino Grand Stand (named after RP President, Elpidio Quirino) hosted a lot of event that makes Philippines known in the world. Like when Pope John Paul II visited the Philippines for World Youth Day (January 10-15, 1995).
And just yesterday another History happened in Luneta Park (Rizal Park), a history that will put Philippines, on a negative side.
It was an ordinary Monday morning to everyone in Manila, busy streets, (referring to bumper-to-bumper traffic). No one would ever imagined that, that ordinary day would end into a tragedy that people around the world will witness.
Report says that It was early morning when a group of (21) Hongkong Nationals, Filipino driver, Filipino Tour Guide and a Hongkong National Tour guide (boarding a tourist bus: Hong Thai Travel (Services) ) was about to go to Grand Lisboa Casino when the gun man, Dismissed Senior Inspector Rolando Mendoza (January 10, 1955 - August 23, 2010 +) hijacked the tourist bus and handcuffed the driver. The Gunman was armed with a M16 rifle.
It took more than 11 hours of negotiations before it ended in one of the most Tragic (Bloody) Hostage Drama that happened in the Philippines. Leaving 10 people killed (including the gun man), 6 tourist injured, 8 tourist released without any injury including the Filipino Tour Guide (on the earlier part negotiations of this nonsense hostage drama, orchestrated by the gunman, Mendoza) and the Driver that was seen handcuffed on the steering wheel (on earlier video footages from different media outfit around the world) said to escaped during the first gun shots. (Inside the bus). And two others were injured, a teenager bystander and a media crew.
Here's the list of Victims provided to the media:

Different reactions were posted on Social Networking sites:
This all happen due to the dismissal of the gunman from the service (PNP) in regards of misconduct for allegedly extorting P20,000 (Christian Kalaw, a chef where it was said illegal drugs was planted on his car and was forced to take it and aking him to withdraw the total amount of money he has in the ATM and was only released when a friend raised the total amount of P20 000.00, Ombudsman dismissed Mendoza and four others from duty and removing all their benefits) According to Mendoza's brother (who's also a police and was arrested due to carrying of weapon in the scene, where he is not part of the Negotiating Team, which said triggered the Gunman to kill two of his Hostages when he saw what is happening to his son and Brother on the national TV).
A tragic day to start the week.

Sa Likod Ng Maskara
(Behind the Mask)
May galit ang ulan na pumapatak mula sa kalangitan.. animoy matutulis na butil na tumatasak sa aking balat.
Kasabay ang hampas ng hanging nagtutulak upang liparin ang puot at pasakit ng buhay na taglay...
Dagling pinilit ikubli ang kalungkutan, at patagong itinanggi sa sarili ang katotohanan.Nais itago ng panghabang panahon ang bawat sugat na natamo sa nakaraang kay lupit.
Alam na mali ang gagawin, subalit mas ninais nalang na gumawa ng sariling mundo sa isipan.
Gumawa ng sariling kwento sa nakaraang hindi matnggap, dahil sa pahirap at pasakit sa murang isipan.
Sa pagharap muli sa tunay na mundo... sa katotohanan ng buhay... dala-dala lamang ang pawang maliligayang sandali mula sa mapait na kahapon na pinipilit ikubli....
Subalit talagang malupit ang tadhana, sa mga taong nagkukubli sa maskarang handong ng malikhaing isipan.
Panahon na ang nagdisisyong mahubaran ang katawang punong puno ng bakas ng sugat na hatid ng minsang malakas na pag ulan.Nagtaka ang nakapansin, kitang kita ng mapanuring mata ang bawat bakas ng sugat ng kahapon...
May lumapit at nagtanong, ngunit hindi para tulungang makalimutan ang hapdi at kirot, subalit para dagdagan at muling sariwain ang pait at sakit ng nakaraang pinipilit iwasan.
Naitanong sa sarili: "Talaga bang ang buhay ay nakalaan upang sugatan at yurakan ang bawat nilalang?"
Sa takot na muling masaktan, nagdisesyon na itago ang nakaraan sa likod ng maskara at pawang masayang sandali ang binalikan.
Ngunit sa pagkakataong ito, sinugarado ang isang bagay, pagbubutihan ang pag arte sa palabas na pinag hahandaan.
Isang batikang aktor, sarili ang tinukoy, subalit walang direktor, napangisi at buntong hininga, "Sino pa ba?"
Hindi na nag alinlangang hubarin ang saplot at ipakita ang bakas ng bawat sugat at latay ng nakaraan. Subalit sa bawat bakas na nakikita ng mga mapanuring mata, pawang paghanga na lang ang narinig sa labi ng mapaghusgang kapaligiran. Naitago na ang katotohanan. Dahil sa maskarang tangan.
Kapag lumisan na ang tagahanga at akalang kaibigan, luha ang papatak sa pisngi ng maskarang nagkukubli sa katotohanan. Luha na magkahalong kagalakan at kalungkutan.
Napakagandang isipin na napapahanga at napapapaniwala ang lahat ng tao sa kanyang paligid sa kung ano man ang naisin.
Hindi nila alam na pawang kasinungalingan ang lumalabas sa labi ng mukhang nagtatago sa maskara ng kasinungalingan.
Subalit lahat ng bagay ay may katapusa't hangganan. At ang matagal na pagkukubli sa likod ng maskara ay kinailangan ng lumantad, sapagkat ito na ang pagsapit ng dapit hapon ng buahay.
Sa pagharap sa lahat... isa lang ang hinihingi, kapatawaran at pagtanggap, totoong mahirap itong makamtan, ngunit handang maghintay ang kalooban.
Sa pagdaka'y nalaman na ang pagpili ng maskarang inakalang magtatago ng pait at kahihiyan, ay siyang magsasadlak sa dapit hapon ng buhay na taglay.
Marahil lilisan man, ngunit may isang iiwanan, hubad na ang katawan, wala ng mapanlinlang na maskara. Walang pagkukubli at pag aalinlangan ang pag-iwan ng pusong taglay na may pagpapakumbaba, katapatan at pagmamahal sa mga taong minahal ng Aktor, Direktor at Tagapagsalaysay kasama ng Tagapagsulat na matagal na nagkubli sa likod ng mapanlinlang na Maskara ng Buhay.

Help Me With My Advocacy About Cancer Patient
Few years ago I had a very good friend that had a very traumatic experience of loosing her Mom because of Ovarian Cancer. It's been a while since the last time I talked to her. Thanks how technology help us to connect with our long lost friends.
Luckily a week and a half ago I was able to talk to her about how is she, all I want that time is to know how she was able to let go... to accept... but there's this point in our conversation when she said, "If there's only a cure to my Moms sickness, she could've been here with me in my life's journey on being a Mother", and so I asked, "I thought your Mom had different treatment to be cured", she said, "Yes, but there's no assurance for it".
After our conversation I sat down by the window and realized one thing, I'm a woman, what if one day when I wake up I would hear a Doctor tells me I have an Ovarian Cancer. And I tried to shut down that Idea.
A week past and just yesterday as I get interested in making my own blog, I saw this add that I can help people who have cancer in a way that I will not spend any amount of money. All I have to do is spare some of my minutes and reading and getting through a series of questions from different product supporter of this cause. And I tried it my self.
I clicked the linked, a new window pops out and a tooth paste brand advertisement has a few question on how to help them improve their product (it's more of a survey actually), I wasn't asked to provide anything, not even my email address. And it took me only three minutes to add an additional support of " Three-Minute" study (for Ovarian Cancer Research Fund)
This three minutes of my time (I am hoping), would be the Three minute break through to find out how to cure Ovarian Cancer Patient, or even they will discover something that will protect every mother in the world. Not just our mother, but every woman in the world.
If only I can take back the hands of time, I wish there's this simple way to help those in need. Maybe, my dear friend will still have her Mommy to hold her hand as she gave birth to a new life, that one day, will be a Man for others.
Please Help me with this advocacy: Click on the "Pink Box" on the Left Side of this blog where it says :
