When it comes to security, Prevention is NOT the key

“MANILA, Philippines - After a ban on buying hammers, shoppers will now be told not to wear caps in malls to prevent robberies, a police official said yesterday.

“From now on, the wearing of caps would be banned in malls. Those wearing it would be advised to take it off and place or keep them inside their bags or in their pockets,” National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) chief Director Carmelo Valmoria said in an interview.

Mall owners will display signs against the wearing of caps at entrances while security guards will strictly enforce the ban in a polite manner, he added.” – Philstar.com

So basically, their reason for banning caps in the malls is because of the latest heist inside SM North Edsa jewelry section, where robbers used hammers bought at a hardware store to smash the glass panels. They were wearing caps could not be identified in the CCTV cameras.

So with all these rules created for the mall securities, they show us another typical move of being stricter after a certain unfortunate scenario. Now here come the “rants” …

Needs Grammar Check

The urge to continue the proposed 148-hectare Manila Goldcoast Reclamation Project along Manila bay, which is more known as the Manila Bay Reclamation Project is once again resurfacing amidst all the proponents and petitions eyeing to discard this plan. Environmentalists, artists and some politicians stood firm against this plan. One of the most active group that is opposing this move is SOS (Save our Sunset!) Manila Bay coalition. They even made a facebook page where facebook users which supports their advocacy may sign a petition. http://www.facebook.com/savemanilabay

There are also pro- Manila Bay Reclamation project page that was made in facebook like “Help Bring Back Manila’s Pride and Glory” but it has been galed with contemptuous comments and questions from netizens. A petition site at change.org titled “SOS Manila Bay: Save our Sunset, No To Reclamation” says that “in addition to blocking the view of the sunset from Malate and Ermita, the reclamation will worsen floods, extinguish the tourism area along Roxas Boulevard, destroy the potential of our historic Intramuros, remove 20 vital anchorage berths for ships and most of all, take away from us a waterfront we all love.”

Senator Miriam Santiago Graduation Speech - UP Students are Arrogant

During the graduation speech of Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago at the Our Lady of Fatima University on Tuesday, she called the students of the state-run University of the Philippines “full of themselves”.

The plagiarized speech of the Philippine Senator, Tito Sotto, became viral in both twitter and facebook. After plagiarizing the works of the US blogger, Sarah Pope, the senator is again involved in copying his speech from Robert Kennedy which he delivered on Wednesday.

Senator Tito Sotto thought of eluding plagiarism by translating the speech of Robert Kennedy into Filipino. The actual translation is available here.

Previously, Senator Sotto denied the accusations of the netizens that he plagiarized the works of Sarah Pope and as expected this time he strongly claimed that translating speeches from English to Filipino is no longer a plagiarism. Also, on this new plagiarized speech he said that he did not know the origin of the speech nor aware of the author. What a scapegoat senator!
