		<description>Mr. &lt;b&gt;Reyna Elena&lt;/b&gt;. Thanks for &lt;a href=&quot;http://filipinovoices.com/building-a-community-of-intellectual-inbreds/comment-page-1#comment-88462&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;your note&lt;/a&gt; and the rectifications you made. Your exhibiting command responsibility in this instance is very admirable and a virtue rarely seen in our sad society.

I will, for my part, make it a point to be a bit more descriptive in the comments I make over at the Barrio in the future.

Apologies accepted and please accept mine as well for any mis-interpretations caused.

Cheers,
&lt;a href=&quot;http://antipinoy.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;benign0&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>four easy steps? great blog benigs.. 

Building a community is democracy = Our votes ensure that our leader delivers. When the citizens recognize what decisions are made by government and why, the government is said to be transparent. No one even in the past and present may have understood the concept. Tago nang tago parang TNT.. te he.

Basic Secret of Rule management: Don’t wait until the crisis is upon you before you pay attention to the rules.  If you keep your eyes on the rules ( rule of law), you won’t have to play catch-up in the end. If our leader breaks the big rules, he/she has to reinstate them with a circle of little rules. Many of them at higher places broke the big rules (human rights, equality, employment, education and using our money/credit wisely) and they restored them with a lot of wishful thinking, broken logic, and a lottery mentality - frail little rules that weren’t really rules at all.

Yup, they sow what they reap.they  reap what they sow. It&#039;s bad governance. The innocents remain so very calm until one day....

There is no such thing as &quot;ignoramus&quot; if education has been properly provided. Who is then the provider for this kind of service? It is still the job description of the current administration to prepare and educate the people in building a community that will last strongly.</description>

		<description>Benigno, do you have any respect too? Here we go, on quoting what was said.  How can you even emphasize on the differences between being &quot;respectful&quot; and being &quot;nice&quot;. But can you? I dont go around blogs to observe, I just read. I commented at times here, as no one seemed to disagree with what you write.  Maybe, they just got tired, which I did, in the end.  This must have been my first few comments for some time now as it is getting &#039;boring&#039;.

Take it easy, Mr B. You should not take blogging seriously. 

For someone who lived in the Western world in such a long time, my expectation of you would be of one, who can understand and see the &quot;real differences&quot; but nope you CANT.

&lt;b&gt;Don&#039;t take me for STUPID because I can write simply when you said &quot;Tough luck now, but good luck in your future efforts at comprehending.&quot;. Anong gusto mo Benigno magparada with Diplomas and Certifications everytime one makes a comment.

Anyone who wanted this article magnified, get out of their chair, look out the window, go outside, stretch yourself and take a walk and calm yourself down. Smile nang konti!

Bless you Benigno! and you too Bong! Give it some rest, as I can see that the blog owner has apologized to you.</description>

		<description>Apologies to all you Gentlemen, bluep, benigno and gabbyD. The Barrio Council has spoken, in the end; an executive decision has to be made by &lt;a href=&quot;http://reynaelena.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;La Kapitana&lt;/a&gt;.

To Benign0,

In the future, we would appreciate if you would please make a brief snapshot of what it is that you’re trying to explain - if it would take a whole entry inside our blog entry, so be it. Understand that there&#039;s always the possibility of being lost in translation. Given the romantic fights that happened in the past, love wounds are hard to heal. Obviously, continually leaving the same links was misunderstood by some of us, including myself, which you were trying to promote your website. 

For &lt;strong&gt;World Peace&lt;/strong&gt;, the same links/comment you originally left on the comments section was &lt;a href=&quot;http://barriosiete.com/isa-na-namang-artista-edu-manzano-senatoriable-ba-sya/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;re-posted by me&lt;/a&gt;. All other comments were disapproved. 

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://barriosiete.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;La Kapitana de&#039;l Barrio Siete&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Cute Mr B! Kaya ka ginanyan kasi Insultador ka kasi. Slow down on Filipino insults mate. Love mo pa naman si Mareng Reynz. Reynz has been so nice with you, tapos ininsulto mo the whole barrio and bayan. Barrio Siete is excellenty designed and they are happy group.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Obviously, Ms. &lt;b&gt;CheekyChic&lt;/b&gt;, you can&#039;t tell the difference between &quot;being nice&quot; and &quot;being respectful&quot;. I have the utmost respect for Mr. &lt;b&gt;Reyna Elena&lt;/b&gt;, his achievements, and the community he&#039;s built over at Barrio Siete, and I exhibit that respect by being &lt;i&gt;consistent&lt;/i&gt; in the way I present myself to him, or for that matter &lt;i&gt;anyone&lt;/i&gt; (as this consistency of mine recognises no social status, credential, or personal circumstances).

There are lots of &quot;nice&quot; people -- but &lt;b&gt;very few&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;consistent&lt;/i&gt; ones. And I am one of that elite few.

Tough luck &lt;i&gt;now&lt;/i&gt;, but good luck in your future efforts at &lt;i&gt;comprehending&lt;/i&gt;.

Mr. &lt;b&gt;Joe&lt;/b&gt;, yup. But in a society like the Philippines, you just gotta laugh. Otherwise you simply waste time being frustrated over stuff that may never see the light of &lt;i&gt;sustainable change&lt;/i&gt;.

But there is evidence of hope as you will see in &lt;a href=&quot;http://barriosiete.com/isa-na-namang-artista-edu-manzano-senatoriable-ba-sya/comment-page-1/#comment-17582&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;that thread in Barrio Siete&lt;/a&gt; which Reyna Elena had closed from commenting (and the comments of this &lt;b&gt;bluepanjeet&lt;/b&gt; guy deleted -- unforunately along with &lt;b&gt;GabbyD&lt;/b&gt;&#039;s insightful queries) pending some kind of deliberation that is presumably on-going behind closed doors.</description>

		<description>Am reminded of an op-ed piece that appeared in the San Diego Union-Tribune on September 19, 1996. It was written by Charles J. Sykes, best known as the author of &quot;Dumbing Down Our Kids: Why American Children Feel Good about Themselves, but Can&#039;t Read, Write, or Add.&quot;

RULE 1......Life is not fair; get used to it.

RULE 2......&lt;b&gt;The world won&#039;t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.&lt;/b&gt;

RULE 3......You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won&#039;t be a vice president with a car phone, until you earn both.

RULE 4......If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn&#039;t have tenure.

RULE 5......Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.

RULE 6......If you mess up, it&#039;s not your parents&#039; fault, so don&#039;t whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

RULE 7......Before you were born, your parents weren&#039;t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents&#039; generation, try &quot;delousing&quot; the closet in your own room.

RULE 8......&lt;b&gt;Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they&#039;ll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn&#039;t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.&lt;/b&gt;

RULE 9......Life is not divided into semesters. You don&#039;t get summer off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.

RULE 10.....Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

RULE 11.....Be nice to nerds. Chances are you&#039;ll end up working for one.</description>

		<description>If it makes you laugh, it makes me irate, as words are a form of art and no one should mess with another person&#039;s expression

I fear this Admin would cut and paste Jonathan Swift, Kafka, or any superb but biting interpreter of the weaknesses of society. Probably tax books, too.
