Isang sagot kay Reyna Elena.
Ang blogging ay ‘di iba sa pagtitipon-tipon ng mga mamayan sa mga kapulungan noong mga panahong wala pang mass media at lalo na ang internet. Sa aking wari, isa itong paraan upang maipahayag ng kahit sino’ng kabilang ng isang komunidad ang kaniyang saloobin ukol sa pamamamaraan ng pamamalakad ng kaniyang pamahalaan.
‘Di dapat gawing sukatan ang antas ng edukasyon o karanasan sa ‘pulitika’ ang karapatang mag-blog ukol sa pulitika. Kung lahat tayo’y nagbabayad ng buwis, mula sa mga CEO ng mga kumpanya hanggang sa mga nagtitinda na taho sa kalye (na nagbabayad din ng VAT), lahat ay dapat bigyan daan upang mag-hayag ng hinaing o pagsang-ayon sa ating buhay pulitikal. Ang kayod nating lahat ay sinsamsam ng estado, sa gusto man natin o hindi. Lahat tayo ay napapailalim sa mga batas na nililikha ng estado, sa gusto man natin o hindi.
Isang mahalagang elemento ng demokrasiya na pakinggan ang mga haka-haka at kuro-kuro ng lahat. Kakabit nito ang pagtanggap na lahat ay may kakayanang mag-isip para sa kaniyang sarili patungkol sa mga nilalaman ng balita halimbawa o sa mga desisyong ipinatutupad ng Malacañang. Dahil ang Pilipinas ay isang mahirap na bansa, at karamihan sa mga mamayan nito ay salat sa pormal na edukasyon, ang ibig ba’ng sabihin nito ay dapat na isawalang-bahala ang boses ng nakararami? Para ano pa kung gano’n ang eleksyon? Para ano pa kung sa gano’n ang pagbibigay ng mga baseng karapatan sa bawat Pilipino, lalo na ang karapatan ng malalayang pamamahayag o free speech?
Sa pamamahayag ng ating iba’t-iba at madalas ay nagbabanggaang opinyon, nalalaman ng madla ang mga sala-salawing panig. Sa gayon ang madla ay maaaring makapagpasya kung anumang panig ang kanilang kikilingan o hindi.
Ang pagiging ‘intelketwal’ ay isang pang-uring ‘di saklaw ng kung ilan lamang. Lahat tayo ay nag-iisip. Maaaring iba’t-iba ang ating pagtingin ukol sa pulitika, at sa gayon ay iba’t-iba rin ang ating mga hinahangad ukol sa pagpapatakbo ng mga bagay-bagay at kung sa’ang direksyon patutunguhin ang bayan. Ang mga hinaing at kuro-kuro halimbawa ng isang accountant sa Makati ay iba sa mga hinaing at kuro-kuro ng nagtitinda ng samalamig. Hindi dapat na bigyang higit na timbang ang isa sa isa dahil tayong lahat ay nabibilang sa isang pampulitikong komunidad.
Ang kredibilidad sa pamamahayag sa media ay inaani mula sa iba, hindi ibinibigay sa sarili. Sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon – lahat ng mga mamayang Pilipino na may kakayanang magsulat at mag-access ng internet ay maaaring mag-blog at maghayag ng kanilang saloobin ukol sa Pilipinas, sa gobiyerno, sa kapwa Pilipino. Sa kauna-unahang panahon, maaari tayong gumawa ng diskurso at pakikipagtalastasan bilang mga mamayan sa labas ng saklaw ng organisadong mass media at ng kung anumang opisyal na pagtingin ng mga makapangyarihan.
Ang mahalaga siguro ay ang makinig sa isa’t-isa, kumalap ng makabuluhang impormasyon at magpasiya sa ikabubuti ng lahat. Ang impormayson ay maaaring manggaling sa napakaraming panig. Mas mabuti na sigurong mas maraming panig kaysa sa nag-iisang panig. Ang pagtiyak kung ano ang malaman o hindi, ang may bias o hindi, ang kapaki-pakinabang o hindi, ay nakasalalay sa ating sariling kunsensya at pag-iisip.

to reyna,
The pot calling the kettle black
“If you’ve got it, flaunt it.”
Sorry, guys, me here again. Can’t help it, kept reading that term ‘…got it, flaunt it.’
I’m a prude, so can’t do it, fit only for nudist camps and okray blogs, heheh.
“When some of these anonymous FV writers started a slew of insults, what’s not fair about asking for their credentials?”
Reyna, you are lost again. That’s one. But don’t believe it yet.
Would you demand for my high school diploma merely for saying that?
And what if I show, then you found out I’m an Ivy Leaguer just like Adventurero, will you then believe me that you are indeed lost again?
Asking for credential in exchange for blog insult is crap, imho.
bert,
i’m not lost bert. nick is. and so is filipino voices.
you just said in your previous comments that you are just a “mere commenter”, so why mo ipangalandakan ang credentials mo? parehas kayo ni leytenian needing some tender loving reyna care.
that’s not the issue here dude. but even if you are an ivy leaguer, you think mangingilabot ako? think again. but keep your credentials. i don’t need it. unless you are one of the FV bloggers and writers and if you are, ibalandra mo dun sa ABOUT FACE
it’s quite interesting though – you claim Ivy Leaguer ka and you did not get the point nang discussion? parehas to nung you can dissect the wit of Manolo, pero di mo naintindihan ang blogging style hehehe
Pano ka napasok sa Ivy League??? o baka naman just like what I found out, puro lang naman pala duds ang mga credentials?
Move on old hag. Luma na ‘to. You’ve milked it for all its worth.
Pirate, don’t be irate. I’m looking for credentials hehehe
This is topic that keeps on rolling for the past few days. Its a simple and upfront question from Reyna Elena.
Its a direct challenge from Reyna so, obviously, kung ikaw ang isa sa mga na-challenge, then answer the challenge para tapos ang boxing. Hindi pa yung pinalalawig pa di ba?

Hi, Silver,
Reyna’s challenge is to flaunt our puwit, he loves doing that, perhaps you also.
We think in blogs, where we are just discussing and conversing our own personal ideas, there is no need to do that.
“Reyna’s challenge is to flaunt our puwit, he loves doing that, perhaps you also.”
Bert,
Kagaling mo naman magsabi na I also love to flaunt your puwit. Baket? Do you know me personally just to say that??
ngayon alam na natin kung ano ang pagkakaiba ng tuli sa supot!
Guys, this will be my last take about this subject of credential. There is nothing to learn here anymore so moving on to greener pasture.
To Reyna and his brigade, recharge your batteries, lowbat na kayo, and some of your talks are semplang already. I’m giving you the last say.
Filipino Voices is no different from fools who set up a box in a public park on Sundays to rant and rave about the injustices of the world.
You don’t need CREDENTIALS to do that. DOH.
irate,
in naga city where i grew up we have a plaza where people would converge on a Saturday and a Sunday and people would discuss about the bible and politics. my favorite is the guy called “kalamay” named after the food of sweetened rice “malagkit” he peddles. Some have bibles in their hand others don’t have. as a young boy, i did not know what they were talking about, but “kalamay would argue his point with passion, (voice elevated, face red and saliva spluttering all over). one thing i admire about this whole exercise is not the clarity of vision and the wisdom of each protagonist because at that age i could not distinguish which is which, but their ability harangue each other, saliva spluttering without them coming into blows and each parted ways as if nothing happened… so i thought, democracy is not that bad atter all. :)
this is one reason also why i do not seek to determine the merit of an idea on the basis of someone’s credentials. let someone’s idea, be like a commodity in the marketplace that can naturally seek the level appropriate for it.
abso-bloody-lutely. exactly. totally agree dude.
pangalawa na,,,
ba’t titigil pa?
To the Nation of Beheaded Ostriches (with or without a feathered seraglio of credentials) :
Wake up cry-babies, they just beheaded two hostages in Basilan on Good Friday.
There won’t be any Resurrection for THEM any time soon. It doesn’t look good for Notter and Vagni.

And please quit crucifying Chip Tsao just because the Lynch Mob now hates Nicole Magdalena, our newest, most famous OFW.
Reyna,
You are making “credential” as your main point of view without regards to the future liability in terms of what’s moral and immoral. Your demand and “looking for credentials” can be interpreted as “a one way street” like a “be all it all”. Rooms for arguments can be limited because you demanded credentials from an online community of which you have no control. Is it fair?
Suppose, Servant Mang Juan of Barrio Igorot will donate his sad life story in the future here at FV , would FV discriminate Mang juan from contributing because he is only a servant? Turning him down because of credentialing issue can be discriminative and prejudice.
FV must provide rooms for diversity and accept anyone without prejudice to those who are willing to contribute especially to a free blog site. This for me is democracy.
There’s a difference between FLAUNTING and PROCESSING credentials. One is immoral.
The cat said that FV may “thank you” in the long run. Not sure if FV will make the same mistake as MLQ3 ? ?? :)
tililing…..
@leytenian,
it's like current events is even with me. you said FV will not make a mistake like MLQ3, right? well, since you're a regular here – look what happened – here's a perfect example of one Sintunado Blogger who is giving you people an awful lot of kahihiyan and you're telling me that credentials is not important? hahaha! if you dig deeper honey, i gave you already some clue about some honoris chorva hahaha
here's the SPECULATE but DO NOT SPECULATE which is the subject of all heated laughs all over Pinoy Blogosphere and did I get that this is FV's prized bragger err blogger? hahaha mukhang di kayo makabangon sa challenge ni Reyna on credentials because the truth why no one can show their credentials is exactly like this – ZERO.
http://filipinovoices.com/breaking-news-teds-wife...
eto nga yung linya nya di ba? Hahahaha!
"My dear readers, let’s pray for her safe recovery. Let’s refrain from all speculations"
kung nag-OJT ka ba, maremember ka ba nun Leytenian? hehehe
Credibility is the truth and veracity of your Blog Post. Readers have minds and eyes. They can see what is
fake or genuine…
What can be fake to one reader can be genuine to another reader.
For some, It boils down to who has the greater number of readers who think the blog post is "genuine".
Even then having the greater numbers today does not necessarily translate to the "truth" because today's majority are tomorrow's fools.
Any blog post can be genuine and totally wrong.
can we have another menu please.
Manolo is a gentleman, the kind of person who means what he says. If he apologizes, then he apologizes.
Let’s leave it at that before things get out of hand again.
Thank you.
Sparks,
I said Manolo does not need any rah-rah boys to speak for him. The Pro-Tsao and pro everything except pro-Filipino gangs were chagrined to find Manolo in the side of anti-Tsao and they had been parsing his apology to BB as an apology with “tongue-in-cheek”. (insincere). Other than being people of high intellect these groups can also read other people’s lips and minds. Such a group of intellectual wannabes always try to interpret contrary perceptions as telltale signs of stupidity and “low-mindedness”. – What a real bunch of “losers” these people are. :)
englighten the queen, i just checked DJB’s previous entry, he claimed
let me embolden the claim good friend
hmmm….
BB GandangReyna,
Are you too privy to your ‘good’ friends’ innermost motivations and intentions? Their deepest, darkest chocolate desires? Things that they might not consciously, but you would? DOH.
