Qs In Philo Two On Gloria's Woes

1. Human act is an act done by man with full knowledge and deliberation. An act of man is an act done without full knowledge and/or deliberation.

How do the kinds of ignorance affect responsibility?

2. He/she is either responsible or not responsible depending upon his kind of ignorance. If his ignorance is classified as invincible, he is absolved of responsibility but in so far as the moral law is concerned. He is not excused from responsibility when he transgresses civil law unknowingly as a result of his ignorance. If his ignorance is vincible, he is not absolved completely of responsibility.

How does fear affect responsibility?

3. A person acting through fear or out of fear is not responsible for his act because he is not free; he is, therefore, absolved of responsibility.

Freedom gives the person the option to do or not to do an act. But whether he accomplishes the act or not, he is responsible for it.

The above is also applied to Lintang Bedol, the Mindanao election supervisor, now in government custody. As a government witness against Gloria?

No Wrong Doing?

A Pasay city court yesterday issued
an arrest warrant against Gloria Arroyo who headed what has been described as the country's most corrupt administration. The charge was electoral sabotage. There was no wrongdoing on my part, she said through a spokesperson.

The case, a senatorial election, occurred in Mindanao where Bedol, the highest ranking election officer in Maguindanao, was ordered by Gloria to tamper with the votes, which he did successfully, and drew protest from all walks of life in the county. She already admitted then that she cheated in the election that catapulted her to the office of the President of the Philippines.

Earlier, the Supreme Court, most of them her appointees, allowed her to travel to Singapore to seek treatment for a rare bone disease.

Gloria, during her time, violated the law with impunity. This time the law will be applied against her with all its mighty force.

It's Friday. Pag-asa earlier predicted that on this day the rains would stop and understandably the sun would be be out in all its glory. I will be taking out my laundry, which I washed yesterday, to dry in the sun.

A plan to go to Laoag tomorrow. The package from Hawaii arrived a long time ago, and Ligaya has been sending text messages inquiring when would I go there.

WAITING FOR THE PACMAN-MARQUEZ 3

Typed and sent article, "Ne, Kuripot kano dagiti Ilokano," to Franklin and Binnong for the Dec 2011 issue of Timpuyog Journal. The short piece was written by a high school student from a Catholic school in Alicia, Isabela.While waiting for the boxing bout between the Pacman and his Mexican rival. It's now 9:37 in the morning. Fight is sked to start at ll: 30 am.

Fight which ended at 1 pm lasted the full 12 rounds. Manny won by a majority decision. It could have gone to Juan Manuel Marquez who was good at counter punching, keeping Manny at bay.

Our initial assessment of Pacquiao's lethargic performance: he peaked when his training was at the last stages. He was over-trained.

Now 11: 12 am. The boxing bout will come in the hour. It's November 13 in the Philippines.
A majority judges' decision for Manny. But many Filipinos thought Marquez won the fight. I noted the aggressiveness of Pacquiao--Marquez was not initiating the fight but only counter-punching- which could have won the referees' nod.

FEELING BETTER TODAY, NOV. 9

Feeling better, phlegm which has been bothering me for almost a month, is almost gone. Woke up at past 4 in the morning and did the morning ritual. Facebook comments and uploading Laoag city pictures, which elicited a native who must be now a resident in a foreign country.

Instant coffee packs (2) and a pack beer brand milk all worth P20, from Divina's store. I am going to Santiago today, drop some mails (Timpuyog Journal copies) for prospective subscribers.

Thank you, Lord of hosts,, for the beautiful, sunny day and the opportunity to make myself productive. Bless my family and the people of the Philippines. Bless Jimmy and Nelson Ang that they may win the case against Prudencio Bartolome who, it appears, grabbed their residential lots. His son, the municipal engineer, was overheard to have said that they can bend the law. Days earlier, the municipal judge decided in favor of the land grabber. But the aggrieved parties
have appealed the case to the regional trial court.

Other expenses for today: P60.00, internet; P20 pack of coffee; P10 Swak powdered milk; P20
tukmem or dukiang, river shells, Sisig, P120.00. Overall expenses, P250.00

lost LETTER FROM THE GARBAGE OF MEMORY

diakon sinungbatan ti teksmo. is there another gender view of what is bad or good?

if i keep money--ket dayta ti inaramid ti presidente ti gunglo iti $600 nga inted ni Dr. Pete Alupay para iti gunglo--that is not mine and I will not return it to the rightful owner, do you find it acceptable?

thoughts are things and words cut like a million razor blades. 


this realization that we have nothing in common with what matters most in life as writers is painful.
