as the classic pinoy propensity goes, “puede na yan”, which benigno pointed out sometime back.

Someday Man will colonize the Moon and the Planet Mars, and other
Planets. A development of an efficient and sustainable propulsion
fuel and system will do the trick.

Remember when man traveled by Galeon Ships? Then, by Steamships
and finally by nuclear powered ships. It is a development, with
technology on the forefront. Progress is by stages.

However, we have not yet learned to live in peace together. To treat each other humanely. Greed, power hungy politicians, scammers of all kinds, etc… are still
with us.

Nice piece, blackshama.

Indeed, there had not been a 2nd trip to the moon after the first. Up until today, I never have to believe that trip to have really occurred if what I only remember having seen is that ‘low resolution’ footages of the ceremonial ‘walk and float’ on 1970s TV, was it?

At least, I know from my readings that in Mars, those banyan trees favorite for bonsai do grow in that little known planet.

Maybe, if RP can later send its own ‘crew’ to Mars, why not take GMA with them. Perhaps, blackshama can play host. Just joking.

UP n grad,

Yes, you are right. The “alleged” excesses of the Bush “regime” needs to be checked for violations of law.

actually, the soldiers have not been receiving their salaries – it went to russia presumably :)

so, soldiers selling bullets seems to remedy the perennial thievery of the AFP generals – as above so below =)

Ammo is not just ammo. It must fit the chamber of the rifle.
High powered guns have different chambers than sports guns.
AR 14 ammo is different from AR 16 ammo. Same as the AK 47, FAL or
other rifles.

You cannot just manufacture these ammo. They are protected
by Patent Laws. There are also special ways, machines and technologies to manufacture these ammos. Military use is different from civilian use. Gun powder used in the military ammo is also different. A high explosive, high velocity type.

Isn’t it??? Armed forces/Philippines has so many bullets to use against the MILF that the Armed forces/Philippines sells extra bullets to the MILF.

Best my knowledge, Pinoys in Pinas laugh at the practice or at least look the other way as pakikisama-sympathy for low salary paid to Pinas troops.
