filipijns voetbal, 7,107 islands, leyte/samar

Een mooi land, de Filipijnen.Als je een folder van het land op de kop tikt lees je dat ze trots zijn op hun land:het is er ( heerlijk) warm en de mensen stralen warmte uit,het land kent vele natuurlijke wonderen en de geschiedenis van het land is erg kleurrijk.
Kort samengevat:quote:over a hundred ethnic groups, a mixture of foreign influences and a fusion of culture and arts have enhanced the uniqueness of theFilipino race and the wonder that is the Philippines.unquote.
In dat wonderlijke land had ik me niet kunnen voorstellen dat ze er voetbal spelen.Ik wist van honkbal,boksen en American football,maar niet van Filipijns voetbal (soccer).

Het nationale voetbal team heet AZKALS, coach is Simon McMenemy ( sinds 2010) en volgens deze coach zijn ze massive underdogs.Wat lezen we dan in de Philippine STAR: The "dog"days have begun. ( dec.17, 2010). Ze wisten te winnen van Vietnam, de kampioen van de Asian Cup. Van Indonesie werd nipt verloren. Dus gingen ze naar de President , Pnoy,voor een gesprek over meer steun voor voetbal ( betere stadions).Wisten zij veel dat voormalig President Mrs. Arroyo al aan Blatter had toegezegd meer te zullen doen voor het Filipijnse voetbal.Nou heeft Arroyo wel meer toegezegd zonder dat er ooit een budget beschikbaar werd gesteld.
Hoe dan ook,Filipijns soccer staat op de kaart!

We brachten ook een bezoek aan de eilanden Leyte en Samar, omdat daar mijn familie is geboren danwel woont of gewoond heeft.
Op Samar werd Leah P. geboren,op Leyte ( Tacloban) Lean P.

Wat een mooie eilanden,ver weg van de hectiek van Manila,gezonde natuur,weinig verkeerslawaai.
De bevolking is er puur,erg gastvrij en altijd die glimlach.Wel een relatief arme bevolking, op een aantal dorpen en steden na.

Leyte provinciehuis is erg mooi,ook het museum van Marcos echtgenote in Tacloban.
De baai van tacloban moet je gezien hebben vanaf een boot,Huur een vissersboot en ga er op uit.
Zo ontdekte ik dat de landingsbaan van Tacloban gelegen is tussen twee waters,en dus gevaar van overstroming.Ze zijn bezig met een herconstructie,een wal creeren tussen water en baan.
Volgens de burgemeester moet het een internationale luchthaven worden,zal nog wel even duren.

we blijven bij onze stelling dat de Filipijnen een mooi land is van meer dan 7000 eilanden.Voorts dat de" Dogs " dagen begonnen zijn in de voetbalwereld van de Filipijnen.dat ze er maar van genieten. Leve PNoy.

warm en chaotisch prettig in de filipijnen

prettig warm en chaotisch is het in mijn nieuwe vaderland, de Filipijnen.Ik woon hier nu bijna twee jaar met mijn Filipijnse echtgenote Leah P.Waanders.
Warm is het hier altijd,meestal prettig warm,soms regenachtig warm.
Chaotisch is het hier zeker,haast in elk opzicht.
Als je gewend bent aan orde en regelmaat, vergeet het dan maar.Je zult versteld staan van wat er hier allemaal kan en niet mag maar wel gebeurt.
De grootste chaos is het verkeer, vooral in de grotere steden.
Verkeersregels hoef je hier niet te leren,ze houden er zich niet aan.Je doet gewoon wat je ingegeven wordt,driedubbel rechts inhalen, het kan allemaal.
een overtreding wordt door het gezag niet bestraft, domweg omdat het gezag ontbreekt in het verkeer.In de kleinere steden heeft de burgemeester het meestal goed geregeld.Daar helpt de gemeenschap mee.
Is het nooit te warm,nartuurlijk wel,vooral in het zomerseizoen dat zo eind december begint.Het regenseizoen kan heel nat zijn met ook overstromingen en landverschuivingen.Vooral in de periode september-december is het dan raak.Cyclonen,tropische stormen,noem maar op.
Ook weet ik nooit wanneer het gaat regenen,kan zomaar gebeuren,kan ook zo weer ophouden na een hoosbui.
Heb je het naar je zin? jazeker,Filipijnen zijn zeer gastvrij,lachen altijd en de Filipijnse familie neemt je meteen op.Ondanks een permanent visum blijf je wel the foreigner,bemoei je dus niet met hun zaken,blijf vriendelijk.
Dus? blijven we hier wonen ondanks warmte en chaos en gebrek aan foreigner status.
God zegene de Filipijnen, maraming salamat

hysterical reaction Bishops Conference cbcp.PH.against President.

the discussion between government and church on the reproductive health bill is going on.the philippines again is divided between lawmakers and church prelates( bishops and cardinals).The Church is using very strong words against P Aquino: they threat him with Ex-communication!! The Senators support Aquino, some House representatives support the Church.i quote a statement given by Frank Drilon,Senator and Chairman of the Senate Committee for Finance: quote: Senators yesterday deplored what they said is a “hysterical reaction“ of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) that threatened to excommunicate President Benigno S. Aquino III and other pro-reproductive health lawmakers for supporting the family planning measure.

Senators Franklin Drilon and Pilar Juliana “Pia“ Cayetano, in separate statements, rejected CBCP President Bishop Nereo Odchimar's warning branding his statements as “exceptionally uncalled for.“

“Threats and intimidation will not bring us to a rational conclusion on this controversy nor will they help solve the problems of the country,“ Drilon said who currently heads the Senate Committee on Finance.

“We lament and are saddened by the hysterical reaction of Bishop Odchimar,“ said Drilon.

The Philippines has a population of almost 95 million inhabitants,to be foreseen 105 million in 2015, the number of death babies/very young children and their mothers is extremely high,the number of abortions as well.The poverty in this country is extreme.The former Arroyo administration has done a lot for the rich peoples and for the infrastructure of the country esp.in areas were Arroyo lives or likes to come,mainly in Pampanga: highways,airport named after here father,a former President,Clark economic Zone,but she has almost forgotten to help the poor peoples structually.

Now the Aquino administration tries to help these families, by giving them support in their decisions to plan the number of children.

It remains to be seen if these peoples want to support their President, a real Peoples President,mainly based on the legacy of his mother the former President Corry Aquino,who died recently.This will be a test for the popularity of Aquino 3rd.( P NOYNOY).

god bless PH

maraming salamat.

AMPATUANS AND MASSACRE AND BIRTH CONTROL

Finally we will hear the truth about the Ampatuans,after we have read the daily newspapers of the philippines.
i quote:A member of the Ampatuan clan allegedly ordered the attack on the convoy of the Mangudadatu family three days before the carnage, a new witness in the “Maguindanao Massacre“ said Wednesday at the resumption of the hearing at Camp Bagong Diwa in Taguig City.
unquote
since a couple of monthes we did not hear so much,only that laywers of the Ampatuans did evrything to hinder the process/hearings.
The Ampatuans got privileged treatment in jail,giving them breakfast,they could receive guests,they were treated as guests of the jail,hehehe
Now the day of the truth has arrived.
The CASE is so heavy that the Governmental Judge in the chair is only concentrating on this case.
The big problem as i see it is the lack of sufficient protection for witnesses in PH>
They fear for their lifes evry day!!
Not only in this process also in the allegies in unofficial lotteries,the wistle blowers are in danger.The concerned law is not yet ready: shame you House and Senate of the Philippines.
In this country they say a lot of things,they make promisses,they agree to fulfill obligations,but in the end the people like to decide themselves what is good for them!
In the hostage taker case even policemen who were not even in uniform or protected ,with weapons etc.were fighting at the Stand where the bus was situated.
Strange country now and then.
Last development the discussion about the PH bill,the P NOYNOY is in favour of supporting the families concerning birth control.The family remains responsable,the government wants to help them to take a good decision.So no abortion policy nor a commercial approach,how many condoms per family,NO only supporting the PH families.
I agree.
In the process Ampatuans vs. victims of morders it remains to be seen who will win.It will take a long time befor any decision will be taken by the judge.
God bless PH!!
maraming salamat.

Maguindanao murder-witness murdered?next witness pls.

the latest developments in the multiple murder case in Mindanao,the Philippines:
quote:Witness in Maguindanao massacre murdered, says lawyer
By Michael Punongbayan (The Philippine Star) Updated June 25, 2010 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - A lawyer of several media workers killed in the November 2009 massacre in Maguindanao reported yesterday that a key witness was murdered last week in Parang, Maguindanao, apparently to stop him from testifying in the multiple murder case filed against members of the Ampatuan clan. unquote

unquote

this part of a philstar article needs some explanation.The people in PH are waiting for a trial, a process against the Ampatuans,mainly against father (SR) and Junior Ampatuan.

the hearings and the collection of materials are still going on in Quezon City( Manila).

in the meantime the Ampatuans have hugh privileges in the prison(s).It is said they use frequently their celphones to give instructions.It is said they instructed people to murder witnesses.They are told to be said that they have enough money to pay all parties concerned!!The widness in this article is said to be a murderer himself, he shot down himself in the massacre.Just yesterday a NEW witness appeared on TV saying he is prepared to testify ,This witness is a friend of the Ampatuans,we see him on several occasions in the hospital room with Ampatuan sr.He will testify,he himself is informed about the intention of the Ampatuans to let him kill,because he knows too much!!His testimony will be crusial,unless he will be killed after his explanations on TV.The government needs to protect him.The afore mentioned murderer and witness who has been killed already did never get protection from manila.

The witness is fully aware of this situation.He will testify because wherever he is,they might kill him.Will he be protected ?and effectively? the future will tell us.Do not be surprised when he will be dead before the witness session is held.

We have a certain hope that with the new President legal procedures get more room and corruption will be excluded.

Remains to be seen if the corrupted people can be removed in time...............................from their key positions.

God bless the philippines.
