Getting Ready for the Elections
Image courtesy of www.thepeoplesbudget.org
Philippine elections is fast approaching. Candidates have been positioning themselves and making their presence felt for months now. Again, we expect a deluge of faces from various persuasions, both fit and unfit, usually coming from familiar surnames (political dynasty), familiar backgrounds (actors, comedians, bold stars, and the like )
Most of those who take the plunge from showbiz to politics are those whose stars have dimmed and thus have become inactive. They believe that getting elected to public posts is a lucrative fall back option. Indeed.
These people capitalize on their name recall and what’s left of their drawing power believing that these will spell votes that will bring them to their goals. They go for it despite the fact that they are (generally) ill-equipped for office – driven only by alleged ‘public service.’ But statistically speaking, nothing can be further from the truth.
Local politics have become a conduit for most candidates to milk the government and enrich themselves in office. Public coffers are treated as personal funds to gain power and privilege. It is allegedly for this reason why Pretty Actress PA is seen as heading in that direction.
PA, although popular, has not been as busy with projects as she used to be. For the longest time, talks have it that she’s been gearing up for political office. PA’s critics are one in saying that her lackluster career is her driving force. Reportedly, with showbiz no longer that sustainable for her, may PA believes that politics seems to be her fall back.
This may be the reason why PA has been posting photos of a Certain Province CP. In her posts on social media, PA declares how she is awed and wowed by the beauty of CP. She seems really vent on her plan. How true are reports that PA had already registered in CP as some local folks have allegedly witnessed?
Hmmm, with her charm and the support of a some very close to her, PA might just make it. Take a bet?

For Crying Out Loud

Make no mistake. You will always reap what you sow. Don’t be misled, that is God’s justice working. In other words, good or bad, you’re gonna meet karma.
Apparently, Controversial Star CS is now reaping results of her undoing some time ago, that is after her series of rants posted on social media on the alleged ‘unprofessionalism’ of the people behind her project.
In those posts, CS lamented how she would lose sleep just to be able to report to her commitments on time. But the manner by which some people she worked for conducted their business left so much to be desired. In a sense, CS was whining endlessly how irritating some Production Staff PS of her project team were.
The one that allegedly got CS’ goat was when she was at the location very early in the morning only to get cancelled without even informing her. That one incident impacted so much on CS that started a barrage of negative posts on her social media. Observers noted that it was an overreaction on CS’ part.
CS’ followers, too, believed that she shouldn’t have posted those as it is pretty normal in the industry that things really happen beyond anyone’s control. It was short of saying that it would have been better had she counted her blessings instead of ranting endlessly.
Heard from insiders that those CS’ posts did not sit well with some people brand who found her ranting in bad taste and uncalled for. Last thing they heard, CS was taken out of the project and replaced by a Rising Star RS - definitely much-younger, more popular and who is not known to rant and whine.

Stepping Hill Nurse Victorino Chua Jailed for Life

A nurse who murdered and poisoned vulnerable patients in his care, forcing a hospital to the brink of closure, has been jailed for life.
Victorino Chua, 49, described by detectives as a narcissistic psychopath, injected insulin into saline bags and ampoules while working on two acute wards at Stepping Hill hospital, Stockport, in June and July 2011. These were then unwittingly used by other nurses on the ward, leading to a series of insulin overdoses.
The actions of Chua, a Filipino, have raised fears about unqualified foreign nurses working in British hospitals after it emerged that the investigation found inconsistencies in his medical qualifications.
On Monday he was found guilty of murdering Tracy Arden, 44, and Alfred Weaver, known to his family as Derek, who was 83. Another victim, Grant Misell, 41, was left brain-damaged, from which he made a slow but imperfect recovery.
On Tuesday Mr Justice Openshaw sentenced Chua to life in prison with a minimum term of 35 years as his victims’ friends and family looked on at Manchester crown court. Chua showed no emotion as he was told he would be an old man before he was considered for parole.
The judge said: “It is a striking, sinister and truly wicked feature of the case that he did not personally administer contaminated products directly to most of these patients for, having left saline bags and ampoules contaminated with insulin in the treatment rooms, he did not know which nurse would innocently collect them, still less to which patient the nurse would then unwittingly administer the poison.
“Thus, nearly all the victims were chosen at random; it is as if he left it to fate to decide who would be the victim.”
Openshaw said Chua must now pay the price for his dreadful crime. Stifled cries could be heard from the public gallery as Chua was taken down.
Arden, who had multiple sclerosis, was admitted to Stepping Hill for a mild chest infection and would have expected to “sail through this storm”, the court heard. She was pronounced dead eight hours after admission after being treated with a saline ampoule contaminated with insulin.
Weaver was admitted with a chest infection and, after being given a saline drip, “appeared to be in agony, eyes rolling back in his head”. He died 10 days later.
Outside court, Weaver’s siblings Kenneth Graham Weaver and Lynda Bleasdale paid tribute to their brother. “He was a terrific man,” his brother said. “He had an inventive mind. He was a problem-solver.”
Chua was also found guilty of 22 counts of attempted grievous bodily harm, one count of grievous bodily harm, seven of attempting to administer poison and one of administering poison.
Greater Manchester police raised concerns about Chua’s medical qualifications with the Department of Health and the Home Office, as well as contacting the Nursing and Midwifery Council.
Nazir Afzal, who led the Crown Prosecution Service in north-west England from 2011 until earlier this year, said the findings raised the “extremely worrying” prospect that other untrained migrants could be working in British hospitals.
He told BBC North West Tonight on Monday: “In all my 24 years as a prosecutor, I have never escalated concerns to another government department except in this case. I do not know whether there were hundreds or thousands or dozens. What I do know is the opportunities were there for them to lie about their qualifications, to obtain them fraudulently, and to cover up their disciplinary matters.”
Prosecutors told the jury that Chua had taken out his personal frustrations on patients “for reasons truly known only to himself”, but they drew attention to a self-penned letter found at Chua’s home after his arrest.
Described as “the bitter nurse confession” by Chua, he said he was “an angel turned into an evil person” and “there’s a devil in me”. He also wrote of having things he would “take to the grave”.
