I am consistently surprised by the fact that in a society as wise and sophisticated as ours, that so few individuals seem to pay attention to invaluable alternatives which are readily accessible to them to enhance their physical well being. It seems that a bulk of people are more interested in a quick fix in the form of a physicians visit and precriptions than in supervising their own health process, and doing so in a way that is natural, predictable, and sustainable. That is what makes me appreciate endeavors like yours to educate and prompt individuals to action. I hope that through these efforts, and others, that awareness increases speedily and the population at large returns to a outlook of individual health that doesn’t depend upon specialists and pills.

And the Philippine government, heir to that FRAUD, wishes foolishly to perpetuate such FRAUD.

there is always the charter change option of redefining the territories – singapore and malaysia used to be under the malaya federation – they are now both independent of each other and cooperate in the ASEAN as well.

same for Czechoslovakia.

In the treaty of Paris, Spain can turn over only those territories over which it exercises sovereignty. In the 300 years of the Spanish colonial period – the indio territories were under Spanish sovereignty. The Moro and the Igorot territories remained independent of Spain.

No one’s asking for the indio territory which was under Spanish sovereignty.

What’s being asked for is to right a historical wrong – the Moro territory was never under Spanish territory, thus Spain did not have any right to give away territory over which it had no sovereignty. In modern day terms, that is FRAUD.

Manongs Bert and BongV,

Between you two there is really no argument.

The Treaty Of Paris does define the Philippines’ territory.

The matter of the islands and internal waters within our international treaty limits being sectioned off by insurgencies such as the secessionist or Moro homeland-seeking entities under the US-proposed application of the First Nation concept (in the scuttled MoA-AD) where there will be a sovereign within a sovereign is an extra-constitutional construct that has been pronounced as such by the SCORP.

Bert:

I think the territorial boundaries are quite well defined by history in the Treaty of Paris.

Ikaw pa nagnakaw ng lupa ikaw pa may ganang nagpupumilit na makisama sa you ang pinagnakawan mo? ano ba yan

BongV,

I will repeat Ding’s mentioned of turning back the time. If we turn back the time we will find that RP is not RP but a nameless land, and the people not the Filipinos but the lumads and the Macliing Dulags as you have said.

Following your logic therefore, you are saying that the Filipinos are squatting on the land of the Lumads and the Macliing and so must relinquish the right to own and stay.

Is that what you want to do?

Bert:

History is not on the side of the Philippine Republic on this one.

In the first place, the territories claimed by the Republic were territories that never belonged to the Spaniards, who in turn gave a piece of real estate that was not theirs to give.

For short, the territory, based on historical facts, was never a part of the “Philippines” and the inhabitants of the territories were never Filipinos as far as they are concerned.
