    From George Palaganas: https://plus.google.com/101478464558915340741/posts – Thanks Google but if you won’t improve “ease” and “readability”, it will take sometime before you can catch-up with Facebook! You might end up with it’s “notorious” tendency to downgrade(reads regressing when presentation is too cool!).

    From Mashable: – Kahapon 13:30 – Pampubliko
    “Google’s done it again, this time celebrating the holidays with another great-looking browser effect. Type “let it snow” and see for yourself.

    What will Google’s next Easter egg be?
    Type “Let It Snow” on Google for a Pleasant Surprise
    In the spirit of the Google “barrel roll,” the company has another tricky search result today: Simply search the words “let it snow” and watch what happens.”

  • AKO ANG UNANG TAGAPAGTANGGOL NG HUSTISYA

    Isang mainit at mapagpalayang hapon po sa
    ating lahat!
    Tunay na hustisya, kadakilaan ng Kataastaasang
    Hukuman, at kalayaan ng hudikatura,
    tatlo pong prinsipyo na nagbibigay sa akin – sa
    ating lahat – ng lakas at tapang na harapin ang
    hamon at pagsubok na bunga ng masamang
    pulitika.
    HINDI PO TAYO PAPAYAG NA
    LAPASTANGANIN AT ALIPUSTAHIN ANG
    DEMOKRASYA, AT ANG KORTE SUPREMA!

    I AM THE FIRST defender of JUSTICE
    by Chief Justice Renato Corona

    A liberating and very good afternoon to all of us.
    True justice, the authority of the Supreme Court and independence of the Judiciary,
    three principles that give me – that gives
    all of us – strength and courage to face the challenges and tests
    arising from bad politics. WE will not allow these principles to be trampled-upon and be derided,
    in our love for democracy and in the independence of the Supreme Court!

    NORTHERN Luzon Command chief Lt. Gen. Jessie Dellosa was named the new chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), replacing Gen. Eduardo Oban who will reach the mandatory retirement age of 56 on Tuesday.

    A senior military official, who asked not to be identified because he had no authority to speak on the matter, confirmed that Dellosa is the new Armed Forces chief.

    The source said that Dellosa was a cinch to get the position even as he said that President Benigno Aquino 3rd may change his mind and appoint somebody else though.

    “A change of mind by the President is always possible but is remote at this point of time,” the source added,

    The President will formally announce the new AFP chief during turnover ceremonies at Camp Aquinaldo in Quezon City (Metro Manila) today.

    “I have not been given clearance to make any announcement on that point yet so let’s just wait for the announcement. The person I’m sure has been informed of the assumption as Chief of Staff but, insofar as announcing it, let is wait for President Aquino to make the announcement,” presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said over state-run dzRB.

    Oban, a member of the Philippine Military Academy Class of 1979, assumed the post on March 6. He replaced Ricardo David, Aquino’s first AFP chief, and who is now chief of the immigration bureau.

    Lacierda said the next AFP chief is expected to continue the reforms initiated by Oban.

    Dellosa, a member of Philippine Military Academy (PMA) “Matapat” Class of 1979, bested two of his equally qualified “mistahs” or classmates—AFP deputy chief of staff Lt. Gen. Anthony Alcantara and Navy flag officer in command Rear Admiral Alexander Pama—as well as other senior officers.

    Oban and newly retired Army chief Lt. Gen. Arturo Ortiz were also members of PMA Class ’79.

    Dellosa will be the 43rd AFP chief of staff and the third to be appointed under the Aquino administration. The two others were retired Gen. Ricardo David, now the immigration commissioner, and Oban.

    The other contenders for the AFP top position were Air Force commanding officer Lt. Gen. Oscar Rabena, Southern Luzon Command chief Lt. Gen. Roland Detabali, Central Command chief Lt. Gen. Ralph Villanueva, Western Mindanao Command chief Lt. Gen. Juancho Sabban, AFP Insp. Gen. Vice Admiral Mario Catacutan, Lt. Gen. Raymundo Ferrer and PMA Supt. Vice Admiral Leonardo Calderon.

    Mapagu, Rabena, Detabali, Villanueva and Sabban are members of Class of 1978, which adopted former President Gloria Arroyo as honorary member.

    Calderon is a member of PMA Class 1976 while Ferrer and Catacutan belong to Class of 1977.

    Dellosa was commander of the Second Infantry Division based in Tanay, Rizal before he was appointed Nolcom chief.

    While a junior officer, Dellosa also served with the Presidential Security Group during the administration of President Corazon Aquino, the mother of the incumbent Chief Executive.

    Dellosa was also a commander of the Second Infantry Division based in Tanay, Rizal.

    He was also a former deputy commander of the Central Command based in Cebu City.

    Dellosa was also assigned as deputy commander of the Central Command, commandant of cadets of the PMA, commander of 302nd Infantry Brigade; deputy commander of the First Scout Ranger Regiment, special operations command; chief of staff of the Fourth Infantry Division, deputy commander and operations officer of the Joint Task Force “COMET,” and the commander of the 1st Scout Ranger Battalion, First Scout Ranger Regiment of the Southern Luzon Command.

    He had extensive military trainings here and abroad where he was always on top of his class. Among them were the Intelligence Officer Course, Scout Ranger Course, Military Scuba Diving Course, Basic Airborne Course, United States Army Ranger Course, Pathfinder Course, Air Assault Course, Counter Terrorist Action Course, Hostage Rescue Training, Anti Terrorist Tactical FAS Training , Infantry Officer Advance Course, Command and General Staff Course in TRADOC, PA, Southeast Asia Peace Keeping Operations in Bangladesh; and National Security Strategic Studies in National Defence College, India.

    He is a recipient of numerous awards, including three Distinguished Service Stars, two Gold Cross Medals, two Outstanding Achievement Medals, six Bronze Cross Medals, 36 Military Merit Medals, 16 Military Commendation Medals, two Wounded Personnel Medals and the most coveted PMAAA Cavalier Award for Combat Operation.

    Dellosa is a scuba diver, sky diver, scout ranger, counter terrorist expert, hostage crisis management graduate and an advance practical shooter that distinguished him as one of the first military professional shooters of the Armed Forces.

    He was born in Bacon, Sorsogon on January 20, 1957 and married to Mary Rose Fernandez. They have three kids—Thaddeus, Benjamin and Patricia.
