Rules Must Be Followed
Image courtesy of www.rwyckids.org
Like most men of his age and status, his pastime is playing a particular sport. While some indulge in shooting, DF probably likes a bit of the morning sun, walking, and swinging a club. Hence, one morning, DF came over to a golf course, and with him was a professional player.
As members and guests, everyone who plays at the golf course must follow the rules. One of these rules is that a guest, especially a pro must be accredited to be able to play. DF’s guest was not accredited by the golf club, and therefore, must pay the corresponding charges. When DF found out about the fees, he blew his top at the poor staff, who was just doing his job by asking them to pay for the fees. DF then said that he was going to take care of the poor staff, and continued to tee off.
However, the poor staff remained firm and did not let go of the incident. He reported the behavior of DF to the board. Now, the board is currently thinking of suspending DF from the golf course because of his defiant attitude. The irony in not the obeying rules at the golf course is that DF works in an office where rules should be strictly enforced, or else chaos will prevail.
Over the past months, DF has been receiving flak for his actions. While he might have had good intentions, some sectors think he is not doing well enough to win over the masses. Thus, he has been plagued with negative publicity and perception, which are bound to affect any future political ambitions he has for higher office. Perhaps, DF should be reminded that all his actions, whether they’re done in the course of his position or in social events, are closely being watched, as 2016 is just a hop and skip away.
There is all the difference in the world between departure from recognised rules by one who has learned to obey them, and neglect of them through want of training or want of skill or want of understanding. Before you can be eccentric you must know where the circle is. - Ellen Terry

Herbert Bautista’s Children by Long-time Partner Depressed
Source: www.ph.celebrity.yahoo.com
Their mom, Tates Gana, may refuse to speak up, despite repeated attempts from her reporter-friends to do so.
But Athena, 18, and Harvey, 10, her children by Quezon City mayor Herbert Bautista are more transparent with their emotions regarding their dad’s relationship with host-actress Kris Aquino.
“Depressed ang mga bata. They will leave for the US with their mom as soon as possible,” a reliable source said.
‘Ayaw umepal’
The same source added that Tates, Herbert’s girlfriend for 20 years, is keeping quiet because “ayaw na niyang umepal pa.”
The source said Tates learned about Herbert and Kris from somebody else while the children learned about it from media.
Tates reportedly wanted to run as Quezon City councilor but Herbert didn’t allow her. As Herbert’s unofficial assistant, she has been attending to Quezon City residents’ needs for years and knows the city inside out.
Somebody special
It will be recalled that Kris herself admitted that he and Quezon City mayor Herbert Bautista are an item during the an episode of "Aquino & Abunda Tonight."
“Now there is somebody in my life who is special. Weeks before any speculation about us came out, personal po siyang humingi ng permiso sa kuya ko (President Noynoy Aquino),” Kris said on “KrisTV”
The Kris-Herbert love team has since been named KrisTek.

Chaos at NAIA Terminal 1
Immigration line extended all the way to the terminal fee area because most computers were down. There was also poor air conditioning system. Truly, one of the worst airports in the world.
Are Pinoys Really Racist?

After Janet Lim-Napoles faced the Senate to answer allegations about her pork barrel exploits, social media sites were flooded with countless humorous photo manipulations of the main players in the controversy.
However, jokes and memes aren't the only things Filipinos seem to have a talent for. The behavior of some vocal Filipino netizens have unfortunately given the country a notoriety for being racist sore losers. This was recently demonstrated when the Philippine national basketball team Gilas lost against the Iranian team in the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship. Passionate Gilas fans (mostly Filipino) took to their social media accounts, blasting the Iranian team with racist insults.
Make no mistake, though: Filipinos certainly aren't the only people who have exhibited such behavior online. For example, when South Korean pop group Girls Generation snagged the Video of the Year award at YouTube's first Music Awards, American netizens reacted rather fiercely, asking why a group of “IRRELEVANT ASIAN GIRLS” was allowed to win the award.
Mapping racial tolerance
No one questions the presence of racism in any country. But the degrees of racism vary widely.
In 2013, Max Fisher, foreign affairs blogger for The Washington Post, thought about how racially tolerant certain countries are (as well as how their level of racial tolerance compare to other countries).
While reading a study conducted by two Swedish economists to examine the effects of economic freedom on racism, Fisher noticed a question that might be a “a pretty good indicator of tolerance for other races.”
When the Swedish researchers asked respondents from more than 80 different countries about the kind of people they would not want to have as neighbors, some replied with “people of a different race.” According to the economists, people in a given country could be classified as “less racially tolerant” if they gave that answer more frequently.
Fisher then had an idea: he combed through the economists' data, mapped it out by country, and came up with a pictorial representation of the respondents' answer to the “neighbor” question:

According to the data, India and Jordan appeared to be the least racially tolerant countries, while Anglo and Latin countries were in the opposite end of the spectrum. Furthermore, certain areas in Europe varied in terms of racial tolerance; while France and the Balkans were shown to be less tolerant of other races, former Soviet states such as Belarus and Latvia seemed to be a bit more understanding.
Interestingly (and perhaps rather ironically), people from the Philippines – a nation known for its rich history and complicated mix of ethnicity and cultural influences – were shown to be less tolerant of other races.
Of course, this data is far from being the definitive, be-all end-all reference for gauging racial tolerance across the world. A professor from Carleton University, Steve Saideman, posted his own thoughts about the map, saying that racial intolerance is difficult to measure with just a single metric, and that different respondents may have had different interpretations of the question.
“The survey question is a way of judging racial tolerance but, like many social science metrics, is indirect and imperfect,” wrote Fisher, while explaining that some respondents may have been preconditioned to keep their racial preferences a secret. “Alas,” lamented the writer, “there is no survey question for honesty."
Regardless of the accuracy of the infographic, it does raise a few questions about racial tolerance and racism. In the end, it's always best to stop and think about the words we say before we say them, for these could be a reflection of how we view not just other races, but ourselves as well. After all, we're a melting pot of cultures, aren't we?
