This is in response to the call of Tonyboy to rally behind to save Samar. Long before I espouse a move to save our province from long slumber but it seems that the people of Samar refuses to change. It is about time that we have to wake up and educate our people to get out from the bondage of poverty. All Samareno working abroad and those who are actually living in the province let us do something to stop these shenanigans from bastardising the province of Samar. We know what is right and what is wrong. If the recall will come to fruition let us field somebody who is upright and who cannot be corrupted. We have plenty of talented people in our midst. We have Mr. Alejandro Cananua, we have Mr. Dominador Cabangangan to name a few. Let’s rally behind them to save Samar. Or we can ask the good Justice Antonio Nachura to come to our rescue. Come to your senses now the good people of Samar.

Philippines has its new administration... We just hope that CORRUPT people in our government be eradicated... We all knew that corruption is the root of the existing poverty in our country. Let's hand in hand be vigilant for us to have a better country, a better place that no one would again suffer from any greedy acts. Let may we be one of our President PNoy to fight stop crimes in our beloved mother land... "The Pearl of the Orient."

Let us pray for a better future.... Let this Immaculate Concepcion Day celebration be a bridge for hope, love and charity. Thank you!

Chinoy Chopsuey in Samar

Calbayog Mayor Ining Uy, the political kingpin or the political "killing field" operator in the first district, has thrown his hat into the political ring by challenging the incumbent Gov. Sharee Ann Tan (also known by her initials S.A. TAN or S.A.T.A.N.). The mayor has calibrated his minions to bankroll a campaign for a recall election. While the process may seem a long shot, it is doable. So, in the event that a recall election is conducted, the cooking of a Chinoy Chopsuey in Samar is inevitable.

These two clans the Uys of Calbayog and the Tans of Catbalogan have the political muscles to do a political wrestling. The question is whether who's going to come out as the winner. My humble estimation is that the Samarnons will not only be squeezed to death when these two clans will fight but the development of the entire province will be hampered. It's like digging the grave deeper and deeper.

I may be branded a racist but it is obvious that they are chinese-filipino families who have captured the highest offices in the province using their gold to buy votes, their guns and goons to silence their opponents, and their guts to stomach their deplorable and unethical political practices. An immigrant family story is always fascinating. Today, we have allowed chinoy families to rule Samar with wanton disregard of our freedom to choose our best leaders. We have substituted our right to vote with the right of the highest vote buyer to dictate whom to vote. We have accepted the reigns of incompetent political leaders instead of demanding that public office is a public trust. We have become a laughing stock in the entire region VIII. Southern Leyte and Biliran are fast overshadowing us in terms of development. Samar is now becoming the poorest province in the island of Samar. Once the mother province in the island of Samar, Samar province is now the weakest province in the island.

Hain na kamo na mga mag-isog nga Samarnon? Makaon na liwat kamo hin mapan-os na chop suey?

I've read with interest Samar Gov. Sharee Ann Tan's recent plan to complete Catbalogan City's domestic airport after more than five decades of inaction by Samar leaders and politicians. I certainly hope she attains her goal of completing this worthwhile endeavor as this will surely be a feather in her cap. She'll be fondly remembered by Samareños as the one who finally succeeded where so many before her sadly failed.

Samar Province has a lot to offer the world in terms of eco-tourism. The Calbiga-Catbalogan City-Daram Tourism Loop is an excellent example. Samar is one of the Philippines' most beautiful provinces and is worth visiting. To expedite travel from Manila and other cities, it is imperative that Catbalogan City's domestic airport be completed soon. Samareños have waited long enough. It's about time Catbalogan City had its own airport and the time is now. Thank you.

The plan to initiate the power of recall in accordance with and pursuant to the existing laws, versus the incumbent governor and vice governor of Samar (the congresswoman (the mother) should also be included) is indeed very timely.

This political exercise/strategy should be utilized more often by the electorate against political assholes whose incumbency are a waste of taxpayers' money.

I am a full-blooded Samareño, but it is unfortunate to say that I am ashamed of the present political situation in my province. There are many brilliant and capable Warays to govern Samar more effectively, but they are rejected by the electorate because the color and smell of money of the Tan's prevailed among the impoverished and hungry Waray voters.

Imagine, Samar and the first district of Samar is controlled and gin iinoyagan la by one family whose origin is not even from Samar. An nanay from governor to congresswoman, an anak from congresswoman to governor and an totoy from the crib to vice governor. Fantastic!

I am ONE HUNDRED ONE (101%)per cent supportive of the proposed political exercise to initiate the power of RECALL versus the governor, vice governor and it should include the congresswoman.

I am very optimistic that it will succeed with the support of the Warays. Thus, it is said that "THE WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE IS THE SUPREME LAW"; and MORE POWER TO THE PEOPLE OF SAMAR.

Greetings to the people of the province of Samar (Western). The more I read comments to the Samar News.com, it pains me that no one from the 1st District of Samar dared to comment on the shenanigans of their politicians there.

Although I am already a resident of Leyte, from time to time, I visit my hometown of Sta. Margarita. The activities (corruption) of the Tan Family pales in comparison to the corruption and killings perpetrated by the honorable politicians from the 1st District of Samar. Consider this.. In Gandara, no one dares to run against the incumbent Mayor (Cabuenos), or else, patay kang bata ka! Recently, he was arrested for illegal possession of firearms (he's out on bail-courtesy of the Liberal Party). In Sta. Margarita, systematic corruption, i.e., the Mayor, through the connivance of the entire Sangguniang Bayan members, a resolution is passed, giving them emoluments for a job (read: travel) well done! In fact, the liquidation of their travels are approved even though pertinent papers in their liquidation are all photocopies. All the 9 towns and the City of Calbayog have the same pattern of modus operandi! In the hinterlands, if you do not kowtow to the wishes of the honorable congressman from Calbayog (who already finished his term), you might get killed by his goons. No town from the 1st District of Samar is free from private armies. All mayors there (from the Liberal Party) have one.

The military, police and the press are blind of these facts because:

1) they are in the payroll of these politicians from the 1st District;

2) they are afraid to come out in the open;

3) they are the goons themselves that are feared by the electorate. What I am praying for, is for the Samar News.com and all the press of Samar in general, to be fair. If you really fight for the truth, please report the sentiments of the lowly farmers and residents from the hinterlands of the 1st District of Samar of their predicaments. The Tans robbed us money, but the Liberal Party, under the leadership of Mayor Reynaldo Uy from Calbayog City is not robbing only us of our hard earned tax money, but also of our freedom of expression and of life itself.

Tomas Marcial A lesson to us all in your words of wisdom an great insight. The same is true of every nation power corrupts those who we give the power to. They forget the dream and the toil and work only to improve their own lives whilst the masses still struggle up the mountain towrds the dream.

The people together can make the changes to hold the politicians accountable for their actions. I just read again that at election time the voters were once again bribed. If President Aquino is serious about stopping the corruption then making bribing of the voters illigal should be the first step forward.

This week, let us focus our prayers for godly barangay leadership. As it is written in the Sacred Scriptures Romans 13 declares that God establishes governments and that He appoints government leaders as His servants, for His purposes.

As we elect new barangay leaders, join me in praying for God's mercy to be upon us as a nation. Ask the Lord for godly leaders to be elected to our barangays all over the Philippines. Pray that He would establish men and women of God in positions of authority -- those who will govern by His Spirit and will lead the Filipino people with God's Truth.

May the Lord be merciful to our beloved native land the Philippines!

In Christ,
A Filipino, servant of the Lord

Please pray that the practice of killing the unborn would end and that all affected by it would find forgiveness and redemption through Jesus Christ.

Dear Friends,

Life is a wonderful gift that has been given to us by God. Sadly, when we do not value life as we should or acknowledge it as coming from Him, we experience consequences that devastate us individually and as a nation. This week please pray that our country will once again acknowledge and respect the sanctity of life. Please also intercede for those who are experiencing the consequences of viewing people--whether unborn, young, old, or disabled--as being expendable. Pray that they will find redemption through Jesus Christ--the One who loves them and gives eternal life to all who seek Him.

Father in heaven, from the moment of conception, You form our inward parts--You weave each of us together within our mothers' wombs. Thank You, Lord, for making us in such a wonderful and awe-inspiring way--every one of us so detailed and complex, with gifts, talents, and abilities unique to each individual. Our frames have never been hidden from You, though they may be concealed from the outside world or they appear to be failing us as we grow older. Your eyes see us--even when no one else does--and in Your book are written the days ordained for us. Lord, we pray that You will change our nation--that we would again acknowledge that life is from You and that every person is precious in Your sight. Please help those who have forgotten this to experience Your forgiveness and redemption. And please defend the helpless souls who cannot protect themselves. Thank You for hearing our prayers, our Father. In Jesus' name, Amen. (See Psalm 139:13-16.) Fwd: [from Charles F. Stanley]

A Dream of a Filipino family. I came to Manila with my sleeves rolled up, as one of many provincianos do, then thousands, then by hundred of thousands of people woke up every morning. This are Filipinos who played by the rules, paid their taxes, and work to achieve their dreams. A good life for their family to answer their basic needs. Working wast'n something to be ashamed of..it was something to be proud of. And it wasn't for greeeed. People did this..worked this way...struggled and saved to make their world and the world for their children a better place. People struggled to go from living in the poor section of cities and town, because that was all they could afford, to move a couple blocks over to where the neighborhood was a little nicer and the houses a bit bigger...and maybe the school system was better for their kids. You struggled and you saved and you were able to buy a house and you were proud, because there is a certain amount of pride and dignity, and yes, honor, that comes from hard work, struggling, saving centavos...yes saving, centavos, pesos... in order to achieve a BETTER LIFE FOR YOU, YOUR CHILDREN AND YOUR GRANDCHILDREN.

The Filipinos dream was spoken with many different dialects, by many different people on many different levels on economic scales, from the ditch digger, to the clerk, to the factory worker, the young professionals, to the small entrepreneur, to the inventor, to the businessman, to the corporate leader, to leaders of industry. We all shared the same dream. We all worked together in this country on different levels. We all got early, got our hands dirty, came home tired and sometimes beat. When you're up a muddy hill you get dirty, sweaty and at times hurt, but you don't give up. You make a camp, you rest up, and the next day you start climbing that mountain again. There are times that you slide back and there are times you might struggle all day and you haven't gained a foot of ground, but you don't quit. You get up the next morning and struggle and strive again, and you do it because you want to make a better world for yourself and for those you love. Because of people who dreamed and then made that dream a reality, our family became successful...of what freedom truly represented to man. We changed the world...this bright shining light throughout the entire world...of what freedom truly represented to man. We don't need kings and queens, because they were not better than us, that greatness and goodness did not come from bloodlines, but came from character. Our love for God, and our love for freedom created in us and in our children a caring and nurturing desire to share this gift.. this gift of freedom, to people throughout. So much so that when the politicians screwed itself up, either because of dictators, of fascists, of bogus religious leaders, who tried to subjugate their people and conquer the hope and dreams, we gave our lives and our blood..so that we may know freedom..so that we can fulfill our dreams. When we started our country. our friends whom we elected to office , made a pact with us, because at one time, the government wasn't a separate entity from us the people. They shared our dream

Our dreams is still on, we need to act on our dreams. We all know that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The only way to reverse our situation is to remove the career politicians and replace them with new ones, fresh ideas who believe in Constitution, who believe that the greatness of this country does not come from the government officials, but from its people, because we are what made this country great. We should be vigilant, because it is the prize of liberty. Vote for a better Barangay Captains and Youth leaders that are hope of the motherland. This election is the foundation of the future clean and honest elections. Go and elect a better person for the job. For God, Family and Country.

Thank you for comments Tonyboy.

I did not meet Mayona on a site for brides but in another chat room. I do not agree with buying brides, and I do not understand in the 21st century how it is legal in any country.

In short Mayona told me she had to marry this man for her family after he had talked to her for two weeks he made her this offer he would give her a Laptop send her to college and give her family money but the condition was she had to marry him it is obvious he went on the site looking to buy a Filipino women for a wife. These two people did not marry for love a western man took advantage of a poor Filipino and made her an offer he knew would buy him his wife.

I know that since this marriage took place Mayona has received the promised Laptop and the wealth of the Radomes as noticeably increased (they had to wait until the marriage took place before they got what he offered). I do not understand this man that since I have made my posting's he as not applied to have the marriage annulled unless it is because he as an financial interest in this or is it because he as bought his wife and owns her.

I have e-mailed your forward thinking President Aquino requesting what this Government proposes to make this immoral practice of western men illegal and protect the people of the Philippines.

I have received lots of messages of support from the people of Catbalogan and wish to thank all of them.
