Archangel’s letter to H.E. Ban Ki-moon

Archangel wrote the below communiqué to u.n. as part of the agenda for the HMES 2010:

October 31, 2009

HIS EXCELLENCY
BAN KI-MOON
Secretary General
United Nations

Dear Mr. Secretary General:

Greetings!

Every 5th of June since 1972 is commemorated by the United Nations as the World Environment Day.

In 2010-2011, scientists report that there will be a solar maximum that has not occurred since fifty years ago as reported in this article from Science@NASA:

This dream is a long time coming. The advocacy to make mapping available to poor and developing countries somehow will become the new paradigm. This is what archangel calls as a shift in whole policy regimes, from those of nation states to that of combines.

Good job his team is doing!  And kudos to His Excellency Hilario Davide  and the other leaders as shown in this item from today’s Philippine Star for championing our firm and determined call to transform PAGASA into a space agency or in this case, for a particular instituion of government’ to have a stronger capability to engage in brisker data communications (satellite) or to source more information from outer space.

We might be moving in the right direction…  Everyone of us is invited to take part in this positive move that is gathering good momentum…

2010 Summit on Risk Mapping in Manila

We encourage the Philippine Government, Asian Governments, combines like the United Nations, World Bank, Asian Development Bank, to support this milestone activity from the remainder of 2009 up to 2010.

ANNUAL ECOLOGY CRISIS CONFERENCE

The Resource Recovery Movement will hold the first 2010 Hazards Mapping and Environment Summit (Eco 2010 Summit) in Manila, Philippines.

This is ultimately borne about by the tremendous changing of the Philippine landscape and those of other countries in the Pacific Rim in the last few decades.

All efforts towards risk mapping in relation to calamities and disasters in the past should now take into consideration the great shifts and transformations in land mass, the enormous amount of rainfall brought about by Climate Change and many new factors that were heretofore not factored into national and sub-national planning by governments as well as even by business establishments and non-government organizations.

The 2010 Hazard Mapping and Environmental Summit (HMES) is intended to develop better approaches to mapping risks and dangers to communities in the Philippines and other countries with tropical climates.

It takes a cue from the recent experience in China, Indonesia and the Philippines, notwithstanding the previous experiences in Thailand, Bangladesh, Pakistan where scores of people died due to unforeseen occurrences during the incidence of a natural disaster: earthquake, typhoon, tsunami and other calamities.

The databasing, mapping and full coordination of efforts towards use and sharing of a full function GIS on hazards, volcanoes, water, flood, forests in the Philippines and Asia, vulnerability areas, liquefaction potential, crisis and hot spots is long due because of the long-running phenomenon of Climate Change in the planet. This is also significant in that the Philippines, among other countries, lies in the Pacific Rim of Fire where a large number of earthquake faults lie.

The most important value of the conference is to determine the plan and the cost of implementing such a plan to make the Philippines and other participating nations safer from increasingly hazardous calamities.

Note: The organizers reserve the right to make minor changes in the Conference details prior to the actual Event.

I Miss You: By Pag-Asa (with Natalie)

The Pag-Ah Sa A, sings: I miss you like crazy

I Miss You Like Crazy
by Natalie Cole, Pag-Asa

Even though its been so long, my fortune telling’s just going wrong
I remember the things that we used to do, a kiss in the rain
Til the sun shined through, I’d try to deny it, but Im still am missing you
I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy, ever when I’m forecasting

Every hour of every day, I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
No matter what I say or do, theres just no getting tama you
I can see the clouds flying in the sky, and it comes as such a sweet surprise
If seeing’s believing its worth the wait, so hold me and tell me its not too late

We’re so good together, we’re erring forever now, and I miss you like crazy
I miss you like crazy, ever when I’m forecasting, every hour of every day
I miss you like crazy, I miss you baby, a love like ours will never end
Just touch me and we’re there again

Musical interlude

Just one night and well have that magic feeling like we used to do
Hold on tight and whatever comes our way were gonna make it through
If seeing’s believing it’s worth the wait, so hold me and tell me its not too late
Were so good together, were starting forecasver now

And I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
No matter what I say or do theres just no getting rightayou
And I miss you (baby), I miss you (baby), all the tender love you gave me
When a feeling gets this strong, you know the real thing come along
And I miss you, I miss you like crazy baby, only youre sweet love
Can save me, I miss you like crazy, a love like ours will never end
Just touch me and were there again,
Miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy

Tama talaga Pag-Ah-Sa-A.

Everytime, all the time I feel in my guts it will rain hard and I tell people about it they rebuke me, because you keep saying it won’t.

When I render my psychic, clairvoyant prediction that it will not rain though there may not be much sun, you say, no. it’s bagyo signal no. 2.

When fishermen agree with me that it will be a bagyo coming with the signs in the sky and all around, you still say signal no. 1 or no signal.

You always miss, you’re crazy!!! Mintis!!!

Local Disaster Management

Thank you for your post Archangel. Pity those people who drowned in the flood. Of course Sec. Teodoro is saying that no one drowned at sea this time.  But it will be the height of shamelessness if the Coast Guard allowed or dispatched ships in those conditions in September 26. This should actually have been done a long time ago.  It is ideal to localize.  If they think in terms of a network platform of staging operations, they can actually do it. This concept is readily and easily available even on the internet. Still and all, there is a problem in communications, in money matters — er, economics, a lot of politics (Liberal Party posturing with the leftists that government is to blame for the mess), a lot more corruption, the lack of equipment for forecasting and rescue be it for typhoons, floods, avalanche, log stampede, etc. at Pag-asa, Office of Civil Defense, Philippine Navy, Philippine Coast Guard, Philippine Air Force, the Maritime Group of the PNP, local government units, among others.  Yes, I vote for going local, after all nothing is truer than the doctrine of ideal time and motion: more results with less motion and less time.  Let’s only hope that our leaders try for once to think straight and forget about agendas.  Lives are at stake.  Who knows if they or their loved ones are next?

Postscript:  Its also sad that the relatives and the people of the late Cory will not have a mind to return our flood control funds from Japan. Damn that we’re paying for the loan to the Japanese.  Sad as well that we have to say good bye to all the other monies stolen for other flood control projects.

Typhoon Ondoy

There is nothing more exciting for rescuers at heart than to have another emergency!  It warms up their blood, their adrenalin starts pumping, they soar into the midst of danger and risk their lives — sometimes plunging into the center of the hazards never to return.  Ordinary people like us, would just as soon pee in their pants.

I wrote this post with several people today.  I hope Pres. Arroyo and Sec. Teodoro will read it.  And take a little cue from there.  Or else, the lives of our heroes, the rescuers at heart, will all be in vain.

In the Eye of the Storm

Pres. Arroyo and Sec. Teodoro: Will they measure up to Ondoy?

It’s now a wee bit sunny.  The common dialogue and buzz words yesterday was a narration of one’s and others’ personal heroic effort for helping save lives with shaky voices to boot, lunod, anod, baha, flood, water and nature’s stampede, patay, ilalim, tubig, walang tubig, walang ilaw, taas ng tubig, ligtas, global warming, perwisyo, perdisyon, parusa ng Diyos, bata, dasal, matanda, babae, lampas taong tubig, walang pasok, di makaalis, hate weather, masamang panahon, kawawa, may sakit, ebakwit, evacuation center, iskul, etcetera. Etcetera. Etcetera.

An old woman was shouting at her supposed rescuers why they arrived so, so late. Bakit ngayong lang kayo dumating, ika niya. Di niyo ba alam, wala na kaming kain-kain? Tingnan ninyo ito, wala na nga akong panloob, o! (Why did you arrive only now? she asked. Didn’t you know we don’t have anything more to eat? Look here, I don’t even have any panties to wear!)  Read more about this post here…

The Evil People Behind the ICRC Kidnapping

Lovely reprieve of Valentine Post

StarWars Lover Boy

The Story Behind the Worldwide ICRC Kidnapping Drama

 

 

 

Happy Happy Valentine everyone! But I don’t feel very valentiny at the moment! The ICRC hostages kidnapped by the Abu Sayyaf Group will die. Repeat: The ICRC hostages kidnapped by the Abu Sayyaf in Mindanao will die. End up in the morgue. Get buried six feet in the ground. Or so it appears, reading from between the lines of allevii’s recent post. The people of Sulu and even Basilan, Tawi Tawi and other nearby places, are tired of the criminals and the politicians and the military that are sometimes part of the kidnappings in the area for the purpose of destabilization and other selfish interests. The people remain impoverished, under siege, cannot till their land properly, raise farm animals, grow their orchards and vegetables, other cash crops. The sword of Damocles always hangs by their heads. They can’t even sometimes sleep well for days on end. They are truly fatigued by the war. They are at the receiving end of the merchants of death and conflicts. A series of mortar ammo blasts hit a civilian population at Bgy. Busbos, Jolo, Sulu at the time the Abu Sayyaf terrorists were on the run. No one knows if the mortar shelling came from the Abus. But scores of civilians were injured. Houses were totally razed down, many were riddled with holes from the shellings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

So now that the people have awakened, they have taken up arms and very high powered firearms! The pictures of allevii above show the extent of the mobilization done by the Tausugs! If all hell breaks loose in the area, many Abus will surely be killed. But the hostages will also possibly or even most probably die, get killed, sourly end up dead. Susmaryopaze!!!

On the other hand, while a dark scenario is thus about to unfold in Mindanao. For one reason or another someone is going to benefit from the incident. Senator Ramon Magsaysay, errr, Sen. Richard Gordon, will possibly have a photo taken of himself, looking at the sky, with the dead bodies of the ICRC hostaged workers one by one being carried by him in his hands. A tear from the eye of Sen. Gordon is flowing…

The Sulu Governor is fuming mad and frothing in the mouth! He organized civilians to capture the Abu Sayyaf dead or alive and if alive, perhaps to kill them nonetheless.

It is not his fault that the hostages are going to die. It is not his fault that the Abu Sayyaf are able to maneuver freely despite the tight dragnet of the government troops and the civilians armed to the teeth, Just looking at the pictures allevii emailed to me for use in whatever manner I desire, makes my skin crawl.

Where is the Philippines going to? Somebody, the Defense Secretary and the Interior-Local Governments Secretary, better act fast! Madame President Glory, stamp your feet on the Ground, for God’s sake!!! And DOJ and the Courts, run after the real kidnappers!!!

Make Love not War!

Make Peace not War!

But bury the kidnappers, the politicians and government functionaries working them!!!

Why is Erap still alive if there’s War?

Anatomy of a Counterfeit Conflict

 

Good Lord in the heavens! Lion of the Maze says, if the War in Mindanao is authentic, then Piñol whose province was the first supposedly attacked by MILF should actually be dead by now instead of innocent men, women and children. Even the high and mighty Justice Antonio Carpio, he says, should actually be dead now. And former Pres. Estrada. And he asks, why are these people still alive? Because the conflict in Mindanao is counterfeit, fake, artificial, he says. Dr. Cesar Majul, Raschid Lucman, should now really be turning in their graves. Read the post here…

Leandro Mendoza’s coup d’ etat!

 

DOTC’s gain, Boncodin’s loss

 

 

Now that Sec. Mendoza is working towards the operationalization of the National Transport Safety Board Philippine version (calling on Shawn O’Donnell and company!!! calling on the Asian Development Bank !!!  you gave the first glimmer of hope when you pledged support for the privatization of the air traffic control of the Republic of the Philippines in 1995!!!), the secretary is The Man!  At  least for those of us that are lowly bloggers, blogging feverishly about the safety of all our brethren in air, sea and on land.  Pinoy or foreigner, young and old, male or female, alike.  More on this post here…

Kudos (II) to Gilberto C. Teodoro, Jr.

 

DBM money for faxes, electric fans, and Disaster Assistance etc.

 

First,  even if the Pag-Asa is under the Department of Science and Technology, it is Sec. Gilberto Cojuangco Teodoro, Jr. who is the chief whip of the inter-agency task group that coordinates disaster assistance. . . I was extremely surprised when I was told that suddenly Pag-Asa faxed an unsolicited message from a Quezon City number to selected government offices.  Even if the fax contained near-microscopic letters and minute drawings of clouds, rains, suns, it provided a good view of the coming weather conditions and what kind of preparations one should make… It makes Teodoro a good leader, a very good secretary and cabinet man.  There aren’t many good Queen’s and King’s Ministers all round us.  But Teodoro is a candidate for an Olympic gold medal for being fast on the job.  So kudos Mr. Secretary!  More of this post here…
