Leave the mayor alone


Why would someone pull a trigger on anyone who is only trying to follow the dictates of his heart?

The case of Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is no exception.
After news reports came out in the papers that he's having a secret affair with a Hispanic TV newscaster, it seemed nobody wants to get close to mayor anymore. And as if he has done something terrible that calls for people to rise up against what he did.

If falling in love for someone the second time was the choice taken by the mayor, what's wrong with that? If his only mistake is to woe the heart of a woman he feels got his attention, why not? After all, the mayor like those others in public service, is just a rational man who has the tendency of finding happiness in another woman's lap, so be it. Was it impossible for a vegetable multi-millionaire to tie the knot with the late playboy mate Anna Nicole Smith?

Whatever the good mayor does at the moment is just fine with anybody else, unless dirty or suspicious minds wanted to make a mountain out of a mole hill? For as long as the mayor doesn't steal from the Los Angeles coffer to finance the luxurious lifestyle of his mistress, there's nothing wrong with that. Anyway, he has already expressed his intention to divorce his first wife, when everything goes smoothly, the man is free again. And it will be his choice to be with who he likes to be with. It's none of our business, anymore.

For many decades, vast tracts of forest lands are damaged across the Philippines. These are either the handiwork of nature like soil erosions, landslides, tremors or they're simply man-made due to humans' greed for immediate cash if only to survive. By all means, those who are within the proximity of the forests are free to do whatever they thought was best for them to survive or earn fast cash.  Notably, the most common practice that upland dwellers do is the cutting of firewood, slash-and-burn farming to plant crops even if these activities run counter to established forestry regulations that forbid them from doing these activities without permission from the authorities. Without a land of their own, they have to do it anyway. While some armed groups would simply engage themselves in illegal logging activities for profits. Forestry reports said that they even encroach on other's logging concessions to cut trees for sale to interested buyers. When I was working with the Mi

China is to blame for the pandemic spread

Had the Chinese government taken the initiative or done enough to immediately contain the novel Coronavirus from spreading waywardly into other areas, this pandemic wouldn't have gone too far to pester other countries like Italy, the United States and the Philippines whose governments had declared a lockdowns thus causing extreme fears among the people, not to mention the derailments of some economies worldwide. But the provincial government, where Wuhan is an integral part of, acted too late to lockdown the place. The local government in Wuhan should have prevented residents from getting out, especially those who were infected by the virus. Sorry to say this, but the Wuhan government officials were lackadaisical in their approach to the health dilemma, thinking that the problem was just an ordinary matter which didn't require much attention. Until the problem got worse resulting to some deaths in the area had they known of Covid-19's serious impacts on the health of innoce
