Comments on: True Essense of Victory http://fvdb.wordpress.com/2008/03/16/true-essense-of-victory/ “In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved his title. Do not lose your knowledge that man’s proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited roads. Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it’s yours.” - JOHN GALT Sat, 07 Nov 2009 11:06:03 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Froilan Vincent Bersamina http://fvdb.wordpress.com/2008/03/16/true-essense-of-victory/#comment-672 Froilan Vincent Bersamina Thu, 17 Jul 2008 08:17:42 +0000 http://fvdb.wordpress.com/?p=131#comment-672 I agree with you taga-tondo, this really is a God-forsaken country. But sometimes we cannot control the actions and decisions of our children. I'm not a parent yet but I know, based on observations, that not all activities of young people can be controlled by their parents. Can your parents control your decisions, your acts? Can they control you if you wanted to be a drug addict or a drug pusher? Can you control the actuations of your son? My parents tried to control me when I wanted to be a school writer. They wanted to control me because they know how liberal I am. They even suspected I was already into drugs. But I know what is right and wrong. I won't do such things that would destroy me. When I graduated from college and entered law school, I told my mother-- "You lost..." They could never control me. I'm not saying Lim just tolerated the activities of his drug-pusher son, or that he is an irresponsible parent. If that's how you people think then so be it. Sometimes all parents can do is just sit down and keep quiet, especially when they know that their son or daughter is hard-headed. I agree with you taga-tondo, this really is a God-forsaken country.

Apparently, Lim ordered the forcible removal of the owner and its employees without any warrant whatsoever. I saw it on TV that the police were dragging people from inside. The owner is a member of the city council and is an ally of Atienza, Lim's nemesis. If something like that can happen to an elected official, what more to an ordinary citizen?

I am astonished to learn that there are still people here who are too naive to the point of stupidity to believe that Mayor Lim did not lift a finger for his son's release! His son was caught red handedly selling a tremendous amount of drugs. It is a non-bailable offense and the evidence was glaring. The Manilenos should flock and spray paint the house of Mayor Lim with "Drug pusher, wag tularan" to teach his son a lesson. Just what he used to do to those suspected criminals who are supposed to be presumed innocent until the contrary is proved in this God forsaken country. Oh my!

Your are completely ruthless and undeniably blind. But then again its plainly hopeless to start an argument with a person who obviously is mullish. Obviously it is blind allegiance on your part.. Good luck to you and I hope that you dont stumble the way your human edifice is about to stumble.... O My. Your are completely ruthless and undeniably blind.

There's no question about that. Manny is already old, he's over forty years old. Being old enough he should know the consequences of his acts. Parents cannot control all the behaviors, thinking, beliefs, and even the activities of their children. In my case, I'm a very stubborn person. I insist on what I think is right. Most of the time I disobeyed my parents, and most of the time I proved them wrong. In the case of Manny, (not the boxer), he's old enough to determine the outcomes of his decisions and actions. We cannot just say that the mayor should also be questioned in regard to the illegal activities of his son. If it's proved that the mayor condoned the activities of and did something to free his son, then he doesn't deserve my and the people's respect. I would like to use as example the gestures of the first family. It is obvious that the doting president Arroyo condoned and is still condoning the alleged corruption, illegal, and smuggling activities of not only her son Mikey and his hubby Mike but also her loyal business allies and friends in the jueteng industry. Certainly she knows of their activities. Look at what's happening in Pampanga. Gov. Panlilio appointed someone to head the police department in the province but some scheming people would like to block the governor's appointment so to install someone who is just like them. Really, birds of the same feather flock together. Yes, you are Babae, but you should know that if there's a crime worth investigating and punishing, it is the illegal and utterly immoral activities of the first family. Do I have to enumerate them? I'm afraid this space won't be enough to accommodate them. Don't worry I have written dozens of blogs about that woman in the palace's peccadilloes.

I salute you DJ for being analytical. Just the other day Manny was released.. he was able to bail out.. How can his case be forgiven just like that if his father had not lifted a finger?? This is a pernicious example of how media can deceive people into believing that an actual nefarious man seem like quixotic.. that is completely and outlandishly crazy. Just the other day I heard from a good friend that the trusted friend of Lim ( Mang Turing ) died, apparently Lim used Mang Turing as his treasure keeper in the US.. Due to Mang Turing' sudden death, Lim had to frantically go to the US to look for his hidden wealth there.. If you guys dont believe me why not ask The Go family who deposited the money that they gave Lim during the time that Lim threated to kill them if they do not give him money and as well as their properties in forbes Park and in the US... If only the mdia could act with more integrity and become zealots of truth, then maybe the Philippines will have better Mayors and officials.. I am sorry for bursting your bubble hon, but this is the truth.. o my good ness.. how much of a ninny can you actually be? I salute you DJ for being analytical.

Are we saying then that while every body knew, the good mayor had no inkling of the4 illegal activities of his son, in his own city? What a laugh! The only reason why the press release now is that he will not help his son now( which he has been doing the longest time, as this is not hte first time his son had been caught), is because media has already made a field day with this issue, and there is no other recourse for the mayor who has made his reputation going against pushers and the like, but to swallow this bitter pill and continue acting his tough guy stance. If media was not able to cover this buy bust operation, rest assured that the good mayor, as he has done countless times, will again move heaven and earth to absolve his son. Remember, his son is not a mere drug user. HE IS A DRUG PUSHER! this im sure is not his first gig, so let us question why the good mayor had not done anything to have his son apprehended for the longest time. As i said, the only reason why he is acting as if he will not lift a finger to protect his son now, is that the media has too much coverage of he issue, and it will taint the good mayor's so called anti drug reputation. nuff said. am i missing something here?

we are actually commending mayor lim for ‘not lifting a finger’in helping his son who has been caught selling drugs???
