      I would really love to vote Bayani Fernando to be the next 2010 President. Marikina is very clean and well organized. I wonder if you have great or high standards for people who wants to be an OPSS, barangay patrol and policeman.

      An incident which happened this month, while me and my friends were chilling out in one of the waiting sheds beside Concepcion school. A group of men in green uniform shouted at us, and even threaten us, that if we don’t go home they will arrest us. They even went down from their mobile and tried to harass us verbally!

      I wonder how will the government will respond to this. Is it true that if Mayor MCF is an alumni of Tau Gamma Phi, she will not held these people just because they are members of the said fraternity?

      Also, i heard a news months ago, a girl was brutally killed in SSS Marikina, the suspects are all tau gamma phi members, because they are rich and tau gamma phi’s, the police didn’t arrested them.

      The marikina court of justice didn’t provide lawyers just because the family of the girl is drop dead poor.

      How can you resolve these grave issues?

    5. mhel says:

      i cannot really answer your question about tau gama and the mayor being one. regarding the men in green uniform, its better if you can identify if these men ur referring to are opss or from the barangay so you can be specific with your complaint.

      with regards to your question: “How can you resolve these grave issues?”

    19. Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do some research about that. We got a very good book on that matter from our nearby library and most books exactly where not as influensive as your information. I am very glad to see such information which I was searching for a long time.This created extremely glad Smile.

    20. Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

    21. I really like that. You touched my heart!
