28 October 2024 Lifted from Ray Ray The Lost Empire of Panay The Lost Empire of Panay is a legendary pre-colonial kingdom that once thrived on the island of Panay in the Philippines. While its existence is shrouded in historical mystery and folklore, the story of the empire has captivated generations of Filipinos and continues to be a source of intrigue and fascination.   The Maragtas Legend: A Tale of Ten Datus   The most widely accepted account of the empire's origins is found in the Maragtas legend, a collection of oral traditions and historical accounts passed down through generations. According to the legend, ten Datus (tribal leaders) from Borneo, led by Datu Puti, fled the oppressive rule of Sultan Makatunaw in the 13th century. They sailed northward, eventually landing at the mouth of the Sirawag River (now San Joaquin, Iloilo) in Panay.    The island was already inhabited by the Atis, an indigenous people ruled by King Mari Kudo and Queen Mani Wang Tiwang. ...

27 October2024 Source: THE FILIPINO GLOBAL 5 U.S Marine C130 Plane landing in Samar may mga Pagkain na dala from U.N , the Politicians are not allowed to touch the relief goods. Thanks God. PHILIPPINE POLITICIANS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH THE RELIEF GOODS! Thank you good SAMARITANS!May God bless you! Malaking sampal sa gobyerno na hindi na pahawakan sa kanila ang mga relief goods, pati mga taga-ibang bansa wala ng katiwa-tiwala sa kanila. It's a good move para makakain at maka-survive na sa gutom, mabihisan na ang kanilang mga damit, maibsan na ang mga dinaramdam nila kahit papano. Dahil kung nagluluksa man sila ngayon sa pagkawala ng mga Pamilya, kamag-anak, anak, kaibigan, magulang, kapatid o kapitbahay, mas matindi na ang gutom at uhaw na nararamdaman nila dahil sa bagal kumilos ng gobyerno natin.  At pag magtagal pa, baka di na nila makayanan, nakakalungkot. Kung bakit ang dami ng dahilan nila ngayon na di makarating sa mga lugar na nangangailangan ng tulong. Nasaan na ang mga r...

26 October 2024 BRICS RISING: WHILE THE WEST DECLINES, THE PHILIPPINES STANDS ON THE WRONG SIDE OF HISTORY "The common march of the Global South towards modernity is a major event in world history and an unprecedented achievement in the course of human civilization." — Xi Jinping, 2024 BRICS Summit. The BRICS nations — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, now expanded with Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the UAE — represent more than just a coalition of developing countries. They signify an entirely new world order, a Global South’s united front that’s redefining how international relations are conducted, without the neocolonial condescension of the West. This alliance is a reclamation, a bold message to the world that the future doesn’t belong to the West anymore. It’s time for the Global South to dictate its own terms. In the Kazan Summit of 2024, BRICS leaders laid out visions that transcend the transactional relationships we see in Western politics. In Xi Jinping’s ...

16 October 2024 MAGSASAKA Akda ni Duoi Ampilan  Bawat patak ng pawis ay butil na bumubuhay sa marami. Mula sa pagputok ng bukang liwayway hanggang sa paglubog ng araw ay hindi iniinda ang pagod sa masiglang pagkayod. Silang limot na bayani sa bukid, ang dakilang magsasaka. Silang nagpapagod at nagpapakasakit para may maitatanim at aanihin. Kung wala sila ay marami ang magugutom sa atin.

10 October 2024 By Caloy Bueno What's the use of any religion ~ if morality is just another word being bandied about, to keep up the façade of appearances to hide the greed and wrongdoings?   What's the use of any education ~ if intellect is used mainly as the springboard of a life of lies and deceit, just to further personal ambitions or undue entitlement for 'getting ahead' unfairly or unjustly?   What's the use of any politics ~ if people are only kept poor and disadvantaged or disempowered, because they are continually made dumb (and always under the thumb of the powers-that-be)?   What's the use of any philosophy ~ if honesty and truth are stranger to most people than the sensational spectacles, illusions or delusions as well as socioeconomic exploitation, that modern life is all about in the world today?   What's the use of any freedom ~ if none of it can really enable any of us to transcend our human weaknesses, that we may become the best we can ever...

6 October 2024 IS THE PHILIPPINES AT WAR RIGHT NOW?  By Jun Abines Yes. Not with China, but with the United States of America. We are basically at the start of the 2nd Filipino-American war. As we speak, the Philippines is already a US-occupied country with nine (9) US Military Bases scattered all over the Philippines. The United States of America have fooled us once again.  During the first Filipino-American War from 1899 to 1903, the American forces lied that they came to Philippines in 1898 to help us fight Spain. It was too late to learn we were sold to US by Spain. The US soldiers were already securely garrisoned inside our key cities. We resisted the Americans and we lost badly. They killed nearly a million Filipinos, women and children all over the country. Today we let the American Military, AGAIN, to come to Philippines to "help" us fight China. But as we speak, no American forces are there to back or help our Filipino Soldiers in confronting China in the South Chin...

Kusa itong tumutubo sa bukirin lalo na sa taniman ng mais at iba pang agricultural crops (sa hindi binabahang lugar). Madalas din itong tutubo sa bakuran at gilid ng daan. Libre din ito kung sa bukid bagaman maraming nagtitinda nito sa palengke. May mga Bangkwangan na maliliit (native) at may malalaki (cultivated).
