what do you mean too sensitive?

1) filipinos everywhere are too sensitive?
2) filipinos in the philippines?
3) poor filipinos? rich?

Norman,

Thanks, that is clear. And it sounds commendable. I hope others are as careful as you in keeping the two worlds seperate. Good luck!

I left Star in April 2007 and have been freelancing since then. I’m free to pursue my political advocacy now (I started in February early this year) because I’m not on staff with any publication. I wasn’t into political advcoacy during my stay in Star and other news organizations. I hope that clears it up.

don’t blame the people for selling votes huh – ignorance of the law excuses no one – even idiots are sent to institutions.

@norman

ang flash mob yung biglaang mass action.

people use twitter updates or facebook updates and such to organize it. usually, it lasts for a short time, say 1 hour. (so no one gets arrested, and traffic isn’t stalled)

i have no problems with flashmobs, as long as hindi magulo at walang naaabala.

i only wanted to point out what the terms means.

here’s a tried and tested mantra:

A – O – M

Arouse – Organize – Mobilize

Arouse – Generate awareness; Discuss the issue with your target audience; Discuss the pros and cons; Solicit a commitment

Organize – People who commit are then “brought in” into an organization; Or form an organization;

Mobilize – Elicit action from the organized group – volunteering; campaigning; protesting; Repeat the cycle – get the new members engaged

@benigno

Thank you. That’s the one I was referring to in an earlier comment.

Clarence Henderson's seminal piece Onion Skins, Quick Judgments, Damaged Culture? expounds in detail some observations on the renowned onion-skinnedness (being pikon) of Pinoys. Check it out. ;)
