Pinoy Pork is Rotten and Its Stinks

I have written 7 articles in this blog about the Pork barrel system as evil and the main source corruption in the Philippines. I also indicated my ardent wish for the elimination of the Pork Barrel system in the Philippines since 2010. Filipinos were quite on this topic since then. It was only a couple of weeks ago when the Napoles Scam captured the ire and anger of millions of Filipinos in the Philippines as well as in other parts of the world. I could rightly say, I told you so! Pinoy Pork is rotten and it stinks all over the universe. Abolish IT!

My first article written on April 29, 2010 discussed the link between the Political Dynasties and the Uncounted Allocation of Pork barrel funds to the House of Senate (SENA TONG) and House of Representatives( Representa THIEVES). My second article dated May 13, 2010 was titled "Elimination of the Pork Barrel System should be Aquino's top Priority. http://lifeinus1960present.blogspot.com/2010/05/elimination-of-pork-barrel-should-be.html

My 3th post was titled "Pork will not be Eliminated but Allocated. The 4th was an update ( latest news) on the subject dated July 7, 2010. My blog has not mentioned pork barrel topics in 2011, However this year I wrote three more articles dated June 3, Aug 4 and 24. The June 3 article described Pork Barrel system in general. The August 4 and 24 discussed my reaction when the NAPOLES SCAM was headlined news not only in the Philippines but the whole world.

I wish for a peaceful and productive march to all supporters who will participate in the public rally in Luneta, Manila and other parts of the world tomorrow. If I were 40 years younger, I will for sure be one of the many volunteers that will show my support for the total elimination of the Pork Barrel System in the Philippines. Mabuhay Ang Pilipinas. Abolish the PORK!

Joys of Retirement at Chateau De La Mer, Marinduque, Philippines

I have been retired from USFDA since 2002. At first, I feel I have lost my identity as an individual or have lost my contribution to society. However, within a few weeks all these feelings were gone. It started when my wife and I started baby sitting one of our grandchildren. As some economics professor states: "Your children are your capital investments, but your grandchildren are your profits. That is why you love your grandchildren more than your children". I really agree with the statement. Retirement also gives you lots of time to do things you like to do, such as your hobbies and of course travel. In my case, I turned my hobby of gardening and landscaping into a small business in the Philippines. This endeavor was planned about five years before 2002. That year my wife and I started construction of our retirement home in Boac, Marinduque , Philippines. The next year we built a beach house, followed by a Conference Hall two years later. Needless to say, planning and executing the landscaping was a challenge and very enjoyable. With the help of local labor, I not only enjoy the time gardening and landscaping, but also help improved the economic situation of the province by providing work and jobs to the local residents. With plenty of time, I have engaged into two specific activities as follows: First, I created a website for my small business. By trial and error, I created and design the website, www.chateaudumer.com I have never been a computer nerd or expert. But with plenty of time and patience, the fruits of my labor could be enjoyed if you visit the website above. The second activity, I have not done before was to utilize on-line activities, such as shopping, paying bills ( save you stamps) and playing computer games in the Internet. I really enjoyed playing duplicate bridge on line. You play with players all over the world and can chat in between games. But be careful, you are not spending too much time in the computer. It is very addictive. With a lots of time, my wife and I devoted more time on our favorite humanitarian project. For the last 15 years, we have been involved with medical mission to the province of Marinduque. For details please visit the website: www.marinduqueinternational.org As a summary, the joy one gets on retirement is very specific for an individual. Some enjoy their free time by learning new activities, getting involved with humanitarian projects or spending more time with their grandchildren. Others hate it, since they missed their former jobs and co-workers. Others with no children still enjoy retirement by traveling, turning their hobbies into business or more community involvement. Of course those that retire and hate it, is believe to die earlier than those that enjoy their retirement years. So, plan your retirement as early as you can. The happier you are on retirement, the longer you will live.
