GAG ORDER

Its so ridiculous that the Philippines claiming to be a democratic republic where freedom of expression is said to be enjoyed by its citizens would draft and pass a law through its Congress & approved by the current president that actually tramps and steps on the said freedom.

RA 10175 Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 which President Aquino signed on Sept. 12,2012 into Law.

Surprising considering that the mother of the current president, former President Corazon Aquino is touted to be the one who brought Democracy back to the country when the former dictator Marcos was deposed in a peaceful revolution in '86.
But then again I'm not that shocked considering that President Aquino is now in the same party with President Marcos's son Senator Bong Bong Marcos.Shades of Sleeping with the enemy hehehe.

And going back to the RA 10175, What makes it so undemocratic is the libel penalty provisions in it. With it just about any person can be liable, anyone can now be charged with a crime—even if you just like, re tweet or comment on FB or blog post containing criticisms.

This and a lot more contents that encroaches on freedom of expression which irritates me and a whole bunch of other netizens, and the fact that the provision on Libel was basically added last minute by no other than Senate Majority Leader Vicente Sotto III who admitted having a hand in the inclusion of libel as a crime punishable under the Cybercrime Prevention Act. “Libel is a crime".

In which case maybe rooted on the plagiarism controversy that he was involved in some months back when allegedly he copied a part of his speech against the Reproductive Health Law from an American blogger, Then after a week he is then said to have copied word for word and translated to Filipino Senator Kennedy's speech .
Netizens were the ones who exposed this and I am just wondering if its an act of vendetta to the people that opposed and exposed him why the libel thingie was included last minute.

Certain senators are working right now to repeal the said law thru the Supreme Court. Notably Senator Teofisto Guingona III .I am just hoping this thing is repealed before its too late. But no matter this thing has sent us back to the Dark Ages . I mean seriously one could be imprisoned because of a comment in Facebook and have a criminal record at that.

Which got me to thinking because of this I now have a Gag order on GaGa . Lady Gorgon may just file a lawsuit against me and I could be thrown in jail LOL

Oh No She Didn't !!!

I have always admired Miriam Quiambao, In 1999 even before she competed for the Miss Universe I had rooted for her and she had been my bet in the local Bb. Pilipinas Beauty pageant. Not to mention the fact that my friend Cecile from Ireland is friends with her and they did went to the same church. I have always thought that her beauty is flawless and if ever I would like a girl her type would be it, which of course will never happen as I'm as Ghey as one can get.

Through the years since that time I had watched and observed Miriam's career, from being a Beauty Queen to TV presenter. I had always hoped that she would somehow be very successful in her endeavors, but as luck would had it, it never came into fruition. Maybe because she never did excel in the paths that she had undertaken, In short she have had a kinda mediocre career at that. Not that really good in hosting or acting the two avenues that she had chosen.
But I still find her really beautiful and had always wondered why for the love of God she did not bag the Miss Universe crown.



Then recently Miriam is again in the headlines but not for something good but rather for her unsavory comments on LGBT. I think it actually started with Arnold Clavio's show where she mentioned and insisted to another guest Society of Transexual Women in the Philippines (STRAP) Chairwoman Naomi Fontanos that her truths based on her Christian belief that God only made Man and Woman and that Naomi should see the truth. And after Naomi's rebuttal Miriam still insisted that her truth came from the Lord which left a bitter after taste on me after i watched it.

Miriam then guested on Boy Abunda's talk show basically repeating the things she said earlier. I was willing to accept it and leave it at that as I believe everybody is entitled to his/her own opinion but to my dismay and other LGBT's dismay she then went on to twitter to broadcast the unfathomable declaration "HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT A SIN BUT A LIE FROM THE DEVIL". Which left me really angry and my jaw dropped literally. WTF does this woman mean, that I am living a Lie all this years LOL....

But seriously that comment made me look back on the 1999 Miss Universe Beauty Pageant and somehow got my answer to my question why she lost. And indeed I would have to say God knows the truth about Miriam that's why he did not give it to her.
