Manny Pacquiao's Boxing School

The Hon. Cong. Manny Pacquiao is planning to set up a boxing school in China....

Just two points:

• If you want to help boxers, shouldn't you be helping FILIPINO boxers first? - Our amateur athletes don't receive enough support (including boxers), and you want to help a country that's already an athletic powerhouse, has thousands of years worth of tradition in martial arts and is encroaching on our territory to boot!  You don't owe them anything, but you do owe your countrymen something.
• Are you so naive to think that this school will ease tensions between R.P. and PROC?  Check your history please!  Appeasement doesn't work.  It didn't work on Hitler.  It won't work on China and your meddling will not help a bit.

JAYWALKING

Hihigpitan daw ang jaywalking. Ang tanong ko lang ay:

• May matatawiran ba ang mga tao na safe, well-lit, walang vendors at ligtas sa mga kriminal?
• Kung wala, nakahanda ba ang mga pulis at traffic enforcer na tulungang tumawid ang mga tao?

Puro tayo "huli" mentality. Why not make it easier for people to comply instead of punishing them more severely for infractions? Think proactive instead of reactive, hmmm?

OH YEAH...A LOT OF OUR LEADERS AREN'T USED TO THIS TYPE OF THINKING. Buti pa noong araw, ang pulis ay handang tumulong. Ngayon, nakahanda silang humuli.
