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

1 October 2024 Lifted from Duoipedia (Duoi Ampilan) BANGKWANGAN AT TAGLAY NITONG HEALTH BENEFITS #Bangkwangan ang tawag sa Maguindanaon sa tanim na ito na ginugulay. 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). Sa native na uri, mayroong walang tinik at mayroon din matinik. May Green at Red Amaranth na pangunahing klase. Ayon sa pag-aaral, nasa 70 ang species ng Amaranth. Nasa 17 species ang itinatanim bilang gulay at 3 para sa grains/seeds nito. #Kulitis ito sa Tagalog at Amaranth sa English.  Sa culinary culture ng Maguindanaon, narito ang kabilang sa karaniwang pagluluto nito bilang ulam. 🌿 Pinamilit - niluluto sa gata ng niyog. Maaaring may kasama pang ibang gulay. Maaari rin itong may kasamang isda. 🌿 Pidsinina
