Justice for Rochel on this International Womens Month of March (ASAP)

When I heard the news about what happened to Rochel "Cesil" Geronda, a 14 years old 1st year student from Los Banos National Highschool and a sampaguita vendor, the first thing that appears to my mind is my eldest daughter Andria who is 12 years old right now and a student from Los Banos too.

Once I read it from my mobile phone, I told it to my husband who was with me that time having a dinner at Joes at Los Banos, Laguna just in front of Rochel school. I am sure my husband was so gross and can’t comprehend why it is happening, a 14 years old girl with so much life and with bright future ahead was brutally raped and killed by these sex maniacs and low life.

I remember last year when I covered Given Grace. A student from University of the Philippines at Los Banos (UPLB), Laguna. There’s even a vigil for days and lots of media attention. For sure it’s because she was a student from this prominent school, mga iskolar ng bayan. Now, with a story from my Victory Christian Fellowship groupmate Dewmaine, a teacher herself and isa ring Iskolar ng Bayan, even made me feel sorry for not only for Rochel but for the whole women and daughters in this world. To think March is the International Women's Month where last year, with the help of an international women's group, I conducted a forum about the rights of not only women but equality with notable speakers from the Democratic Socialist Women of the Philippines (DSWP) President Elizabeth Angsioco to a student from the University of the Philippines Diliman.

So what’s this about sex and killing innocent children. I enjoy sex and yes it’s productive literally, I have twin daughters and don’t want to happen to them what happened to Given Grace,Rochel and to all woemn na inaabuso at inabuso. For some men, was it fulfilling or does it give them more joys and earthly greed when they raped and killed children?.

As into transparency and human rights, I would like to know if this is also about poverty; men who couldn’t afford to pay prostitutes resulted to just kidnapped, raped then killed kids. One questions too like if they were high on illegal drugs or something. Enforcement of the law and kamay na bakal ang kailangan na dito. I am ino death penalty anyway.

I am into death penalty to give model for those people who thinks they are God. And for now, I will stay this way, into awareness program and if possible could do something different in my own little way. I want to be the CHANGE, if lot’s of stalkers, haters and critics will arise, I don’t care. Justice for Rochel. Justice for Women.

With this view and for Rochel and for all women na kailangan ang pagkalinga ng bayan. With the help of the Philippine Information Agency (PIA and Do It Right advacocacy, I am organizing an event for this International Women's Month with the theme: Violence against women "Pagusapan at talakayin." This is an awareness program with our Homan Rights advocate and empowered women Ms. Elizabeth Angsioco to give the media insights about justice and also coming to participatemight be the Regional Director of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). Justice for all women.

Positively muah!

As a government employee ( is it the correct term if one is appointed?) whom I didn’t even dreamt to be and well yeah imagine, survived to get my first cheq, yes, you heard me right folks! They are paying me now and to write about good governance, climate change, livelihood program or in other words, just POSITIVE news which really is very hard to do than blogging without an editor.

In blogging it’s all about me. You heard it right, my opinion, my commentary and all about transparency. I am fortunate that I can do anywhere, well thanks to my mom for the car and my friends who could give me more information without limits. Actually writing anything positive is what I want to do especially if it’s the reality. Though reality bites with so many poor people in poverty and corruption among the highest officials who does not want to quit or our admirable lady senator who is always hyper. Anyway, I am here at exactly 5:00 pm meaning I can go home now and yet, we are here with food just delivered from Chowking. Spicy siomai at it’s best and black gulaman while waiting for my officemates to go home.

Today, I just interviewed the Provincial head of the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources which was planned while when I was in the City Hall of Calamba City doing some business, I am caught with their quarterly earthquake drill and so because I am there already, I interviewed the facilitator which is the Public order and safety office department. Voila! I have two news to report and yes, all about enforcement and awareness.

Surprisingly, whenever I interviewed some government head, they were like have uneasiness. They thought everything they will say will be published. Honestly, why that thought and mindset? Oh well, I am assigned to get news from different provinces like Cavite, Laguna, Rizal and Quezon which is very hard to do because of the appointments and schedules. It’s BIG! Big time.

Ok I think my spicy siomai is done and I need one more gulaman.

Reality Tweet

Most of my followers on Twitter are my friends, literally. We met, talk and yes share our advocacy. We have lots of things in common and yes, lots of things we don’t agreed too. All of my status and tweets are all based on my expewriences, even about my feelings or tantrums when I am angry or feelings of sadness when somebody pissewd me off but most of all, my tweets are all about my advocacy which is awareness.

I am proud to say that I belong to a group of bloggers that are advocates too. We might have different things in mind or different in profession but we have one thing in common, my advocacy, awareness whether it’s about Human Rights, Transparency of the government, reproductive Health Bill, FOI Bill, Epal Bill, Cild welfare or even about restaurants or food.

Twitter surely is the middle ground of everyone I know right now, well they say that only few could survive this kind of networking medium but well, I am still alive and kicking so far. My followers are mostly poltically aware of what’s happening. From all walks of life, I have Senators, lawyers, bloggers, activist or even a 14 years old student are giving me joy in every morning whenever I open and read their tweets.

Information is faster nowadays especially if you are active and so engaged in this networking site. I am enjoying so far though it’s my substitute already to all newspapers, television programs or even a leakage to what will happen next whether it’s about the incomg Commissioner or about an event that still in process.

Because of Twitter, we did the “Road safety” fun run for awareness and because of it, I am writing this story. Maybe some people who are curious are not aware that Twitter is faster than any print news. Well, the news from twitter is when or while it’s happening.

Now that I belong to those who are assigned to dessiminate positive news about the Philippines, I use twitter and all my access to digital social media to give my opinons or commentaries, that way I can still practice my freedom of speeach, without deletion. This was my dream actually whan I was little. Yes to be with people and to tell them everything that’s happening, literally as it happen.
