At my first answer no man stood

strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and
[that] all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the
mouth of the lion. And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work,
and will preserve [me] unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom [be] glory

I was once a very extroverted person but my experiences
on a previous life largely destroyed that. That's
all past now,
and though I am filled with a great deal of sadness from
these experiences, I feel it's time to reassert myself
and start drawing people unto myself again.

There is this fish vendor 49 years old woman ( Lets call her "Dina" *not the real name*) who had experienced a Grave Abuse of Authority from an incumbent Barangay Kagawad:
The Antecedent Facts are as follows:
Dina is been a fish vendor for almost seven years (7) at one City in Nothern luzon here in the Philippines. Moreover she is also a member of the Fish Vendors Association. The member of which have a long standing agreement that each one of the will only maintain one (1) to two (2) "Bilao" in the sale of fish. This Barangay Kagawad is likewise a vendor at the same place where Dina is situated. She is also a member of the fish vendor association and an officer therein being a treasurer of the said association.
For quite sometime, the said Barangay Kagawad has been harrasing and intimidating Dina at her place of work but she tried her best to disregard the same because she want to maintain friendly relations among the other vendors in the market. Moreover, Dina would also like to show respect due to This Barangay Kagawad's position.
However, Barangay Kagawad's abuse of authority reached it's peak due to an unfortunate incident that happened. Dina was so busy but peacefully selling fresh fish during the rush hour in the afternoon when this Barangay Kagawad suddenly came and told her "Bakit Dyan Ka Nakapwesto? Hindi Pwede Yan!" A few minutes after , Barangay Kagawad commanded her helper to remove Dina from her current position and install their "bilao" of Fish. The helper came to her and was forcing her to get out. He did it even if he saw Dina already was being hurted. Thus, against her will, the helper, at the instruction of This Barangay Kagawad put their "Bilao" of fish in the her current position until the fish that they were selling fell on the ground. The helper of Barangay Kagawad got angry, took the fish that Dina was selling, and trew all of it on the street grounds. Hence, Dina raised her voice, "Bakit Pinag-iinitan nyo ako, Ano kasalanan ko? Saan nyo ako ilalagay?" The helper in return shouted at Dina "Putang-Ina Mo!" Dina was shocked and in reflex, she told him also the same word. Then the son of this Barangay Kagawad came, approached Dina..... and Beat! Once, at the forehead.... The Mother did'nt respond.... Twice, at the neck.... The treasurer of fish vendor association did'nt respond again.... and for the last beat, at the head and forcibly pulled Dina... The Barangay Kagawad did'nt respond. In other words the son of Barangay Kagawad Beat Dina trice. After that, Male bystander tried to pacify the son of Barangay Kagawad. He was about to attack Dina again but he was stopped by the bystanders.
During the whole incident, This Barangay Kagawad was present and she was the one who commanded her helper and son to assault Dina. Moreover, she did not do anything to prevent her male helper and son and allowed them to maul Dina contrary to her obligation and duty as a Mother, as an officer of association and most of all a Barangay Kagawad to maintain peace and order in the community.
After that, Dina went to the police station to report the incident. She was forced to leave the fish that she was selling because of the injuries that she sustained. There, She executed a sworn statement and attached the Medico-Legal Certificate showing the wounds that she sustained during the incident.
Subsequently, after four (4) days that Dina got mauled by those people, to her surprised, she received summons from the office of the Lupong Tagapamayapa of the Barangay Council. Based on the Barangay Case: For disrespect to person in authority as filed by the Guilty Barangay Kagawad. Dina was asked to appear before the them on a specific date.
The Barangay Kagawad who figured prominently in the said incident and even never prevented her son and companions from assaulting Dina, clearly made use of her position as a Barangay official to harass Dina by filling a baseless claim against her. To make matters worse, she even filed it before the Barangay where she is a public official. The implication of this is that the Barangay Chairman and Barangay Council where the barangay kagawad filled the Barangay case will be expected to be partial to her cause considering that she is an official of that place.
What happened to the principle of fairness and justice?
Dina filed the case to the City prosecutor but the City Procecutor forwarded the case to the Barangay. The case in the Barangay was (she think) very much improper because when the hearings were done, there were only Brgy. Captain, The accused Kagawad and company, Dina and the secretary. When Dina's companion came to witness for the hearing, the Brgy. Captain forced him to leave and told him that she might record their conversations.
Aside from that, the Kagawad gave her a treat to be removed from fish vendor association and to the market with the help of Brgy.Chairman by means of a petition. That was also the reason why they don't accept the daily dues that Dina is paying.
She went to the DILG (Regional) and asked for a help. They gave Dina advices... They told her to go to DILG (City). Dina went to DILG (City)... They told her to go to City Council.....She went to that place..... They forwarded her to the Sangguniang Panlungsod..... They were supposed to tell Dina that she have to go to Liga ng Mga Barangay then she said Liga Ng Mga Barangay told her to go to their office first. Sangguniang Panlungsod told her to prepare for the verified affidavit of complaint and have a copy of 16 copies..... Dina were very disappointed that time especially when she went to one of the City Councilor wherein this official is the one who holds for the women protection and urban poor sadly this City Councilor were also the one who took the case to depend of the guilty Barangay Kagawad and her guilty son who mauled Dina. Where will Dina get some help from the Government? How Sad....
For the reasons that the Barangay Council were not capable for their positions, They gave Dina the Certificate to File Action improperly. She gave that Certificate to the Piscal's Office then the Piscal told her that those papers were supposed to give back by the Barangay. The Brgy. really didn't want to give that back. She Did those things for 3 times until she decided to get all of the papers and presented to the main window for filed cases in the Hall of Justice then they admitted.
Many days had passed... A letter from the City procecutor delivered to her rented house. A case of Treat and Unjust Vexation from Kagawad against Dina. She Went to the Hall of justice and she found out that the hearing of the case against Dina is sooner than the case she filed against the Kagawad. When she got the information regarding the case she had submitted she also found out that it was already submitted but not yet proccesed...................
Where is justice? Dina is a less fortunate person.
In this situation, I am pretty sure that Dina is not only the one who are experiencing this kind of situation. Isn't it Obviously a crime when a man hit a woman especially it is older than him? How about a Mother that let her son to do something bad to others? A Brgy Official to neglect the responsibility to maintain the peace and order? A Brgy Official who are included in the crime? An official of the Association who do not care about her member? And a person who always wanted to destroy others?
Moreover, Based from what I have learned from DILG, If the complaint is against an elective barangay official criminal aspect may be heard with the regular courts. With the the summon issued by the Lupong Tagapamayapa it was also appears to be improper since the complainant is a public official and the subject of her is Disrespect for authority, clearly not within the authority of the Lupong Tagapamayapa to settle or adjucate.
Evidently, The accused Barangay Kagawad gravely abused her authority in order to harass Dina with the filling of baseless claim. As an author of this article I am Expecting that the Barangay Kagawad should be subjected to a disciplinary action by the Sanguniang Panlungsod for Grave Abused of Authority.
Everybody wants to live... Everybody wants to earn money for their family.... Everybody wants to live fairly...
Every Filipino belongs to this country...
* Dina wants to thank Public Attorneys Office for assisting to her administrative complaint against this Barangay Kagawad.

Talamak na ang kahirapan sa ating bayan, Kalunos-lunos ang mga pamilyang naghihikahos, kahindik-hindik ang mga krimeng nagaganap dahil sa kahirapan. Kawalang edukasyon sa karamihan, at kakulangan sa kaalaman. Tsk...tsk...tsk... Ano na tayo Bayan?!
Wag malungkot! Hindi ito permanente mga pare koy, kung baga ito ay "overexageration lang". Ang nais ko naman talagang ipahiwatig sa inyo ay ang ipakita at ipabatid sa inyo ang tunay na kalagayan ng ating bansa. Kailangan ng bawat isa ang sariling pagsisikap upang pasimulan ang tunay na pag-unlad. Mula sa sarili "Ako ang simula" kung baga. Mangarap tayo at matutong paunlarin ang sarili. Kung iisipin kung lahat ay mag-iisip ng ganito ay hidi lang tayo ang makikinabang kundi pati na rin ang ating bayan.
Si kuya, isang OFW sa bansang Qatar. Nag-umpisa sya bilang isang simpleng mamayan na hindi huminto sa pag-babanat ng buto. Mula pag-kabata ay inihanda ang sarili sa kanyang kinabukasan kung paano makakatulong sa pamilya at sa bayan. Mula sa pagtitinda ng kung anu-ano, sa pag-pasok sa kung anu-anong malilinis na raket at sa pag-susumikap na makapagtapos ng pag-aaral hindi sya huminto na mangarap. Sinikap nyang maabot ang kanyang mga ninanais. Ganunpaman, hindi naging ganap ang kanyang pag-pupunyagi dahil nga sa kakulangan na kinikita sa bawat araw. Hindi lubos maisip ng kuya ko na halos lahat ng pagod at pag-gamit ng utak ang kanyang pinipuhunan makuha lamang ang kanyang inaasam ngunit ito'y kulang. Hindi maling talikuran ang sariling bayan kung ang ninanais mo ay para sa kabutihan ng pamilya at nang ating bayan. Agad kong ipinayo sa aking kapatid ang makipag-sapalaran sa ibang bayan. Hindi naglaon, siya ay lumipad at hinanap ang sariling swerte sa ibang bansa.
Nakonsensya ako sa aking mga naririnig tungkol sa mga katagang "Balang-araw mauubos ang ating mga mahuhusay upang manilbihan sa mga banyaga." ngunit nang marinig ko isang araw ang hatid na balita ng pamahalaan na tumataas ang kita ng ating bansa dahil sa mga OFW's ay agad akong naliwanagan. Kung iisipin, hindi madaling mangibambayan lalot na't kapalit nito ay ang mawalay sa pamilya at minamahal. Sa rason na maiahon ang pamilya mula sa kahirapan ay ipag-papalit ang ilang taong kalungkutan at pagpupunyagi. Hayyy.... Bida ka Pinoy Abraoad....
Si kuya ay isang representate lamang ng lahat ng mga pinoy na naninilbihan at nagpupunyagi para sa mga minamahal. Bagong bayani ika nga, totoo sa aking palagay pagkat sila ang parang mahigpit na kinakapitan ng ating bansa upang umunlad. Pasasaan bat magsisisbalikan din ang mga yan upang tayo nanaman ang pagsilbihan ng mga banyaga. Mga Filipinong OFW's at mga Matatapang na manlalaro sa ibang bansa na humahakot ng salapi at "awards" bilang gantimpla. Tunay nga kayong bayani.
Darating ang panahon, sa pamamagitan ng konting tiis at maraming pagsisikat aangat tayong mga Filipino sa pamamagitan ng mga OFW's. Ang talamak na kahirapan, kalunos-lunos ng pag-hihikahos, ang kahindik-hindik na krimen, at ang kawalang edukasyon ay unti-unting mapapawi sa pamamagitan ng ating pag-pupunyagi na mai-ahon ang sarili at pag-kakaroon ng pangarap para sa sarili, pamilya at sa bayan....
Nowadays, people are now aware of computer technology wherein everything could be done in a simple way....... Including blogging.
Before anything else i'd like to introduce to you especially for those beginners what blogging is. Based from WIKIPEDIA 2008 A blog (a contraction of the term "Web log") is a Website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog etc..etc... (para 1)
Like many of bloggers, I was also impressed by the enthusiasm the bloggers had for blogging in their life! I just loved reading from them how they could learn from each other and develop and share their own thoughts and opinions through writing, reading, reflecting, and responding via the blog. After blogging with others this past year, I found that i was also enthusiastic to connect with them , but sustaining the conversation is something that takes thought; the interaction needs to be varied. Therefore, I liked reading about the different ways they used the blog: Telling about waking-up in the morning, How do they look, live blogging and etc... Till I found out, I am now also do blogging.
For almost four years of my Blogging Hobby I have so many things that i learned and finally got my principle of blogging. For me to be able to express my feelings and thoughts i always do blogging. I always put to my mind that in order for me to be responsible for what i am going to write everything must be done to ensure that what would writing be presented is true and fair. An Idea to publish something just to express once feeling is not enough when that feeling is a feeling of guilt or evil.
Since Blogging is not enforceable, everyblogger believes that whatever we write is always correct depending on our beliefs. However, don't we know that every decisions in life that we are going to make like writing has always a rewards or consequences? Rewards? at blogging, we can earn a rewards when somebody believed that what we have written is true-some kind of an appreciation for us to be inspired. Consequences? Words, once they are blogged, have a life of their own. This means that if we will write somethings wrong and unfair for someone or something or for some issues this will be connected to our personality as a blogger and our credibility will suddenly be lost or lessen.
For my recommendations, In order for us to earn trust and respect from our readers and be known as credible for everything that we are publishing , at least have our own set of ethics by means of writing in a responsible way. Letting the reader feel relaxed and confident with what they are reading is one of the Blogger's Principle that we have to pursue.
Be Present, Show up. Post as always as you could. Develop a posting schedule, whether it's daily or weekly. Develop a blogging schedule and stick to it. Be True Don't just cut and paste your articles or ideas to your blog. Add your own thoughts. Answer comments honestly. If a comment requires a more than a few sentences to respond to, then create a post about it instead-That is being a responsive Blogger. This is part of the reason that you have a blog. Obcourse honesty is important. If you do, then I guarantee that you will be discovered. The results will be worse than if you never started blogging. Patience is also required. It takes times to build relationships through blogging. You wouldn't expect a friendship to develop overnight � neither will a reader relationship. The relevance is also included. It's great to add-in some pictures to help the readers get to know, but make sure that you also include images that they care about.
Generally, Principles of Blogging is not about the law on blogging or ethics of Journalism rather it is how we are going to be credible with Blogging in a way that we are not just entertaining the reader, giving informations, persuading for advertisements, telling a story, etc... but also delivering our thoughts, feelings and ideas about a certain issue.

Are you standing at a crossroads wondering which road you should take? And you are reading a decisions and a possible mistakeBut the will of God won't lead you where the grace of God can keep you and you will never be out of his care, remember that the Lords already there.
-Being a good person is not that easy to perform without believing that there is God who will guide me in every decision that I make. Looking to my inner feelings and my thoughts. Thinking positive thoughts, trusting those that offer me friendship, and dismissing both anger and hateful feelings, will result in a change from my within. i have to think good thoughts, thus I will become good. I will do good, thus my entire persona will change. I will trust, instead of distrusting. I will care instead of being uncaring. I will help others in their time of need, instead of sitting back and waiting for someone else to help me. I will be in essence become a good person and God will care for me throughout my life with my good decisions.
Wherever you are, wherever you're going, God is right there beside you seeing and knowingWherever you go, He already knows what lies ahead and what's behind You'll always find He's never too far from wherever you are.
-In order to apply being a good person in reality, I have to start each day with a plan as my goal. Thinking of what I would like to see and do. Then thinking of someone who is lonely. Someone who, perhaps lives alone, and has no family. Asking this person to join me, in my plan for the day. Sharing my time with him and build a friendship that could ever be. Finally, my goal is to make others happy with the help of God not to far from wherever I am. With this goal, I can never go back and make a brand new start but I can start from now and make a brand new ending.
You are waiting to hear thunder and see lightning in the skyOh but God can work his wonders through a still, small voice inside So keep listening and learning and continue on a journeyJust following the one who is on way, Oh He's the only road you need to take.
-Real Happiness is through the path of our God. As a happy being, In my life, I had learned of five rules to be happy, First, To free my heart of hatred - I learned that hatred makes our lives miserable that leads to many kinds of bad things that people might think or do. Secondly, free my mind from worries – Worries is one way of releasing of ones faith in God. Third is living in a simple life, a simple life which doesn't have to seek for impossible things that may lead me to do bad things just to get it. Just live simply. Fourthly, giving more to others such as love, caring and all things that I can share. "It's better to give than to receive." Lastly,Expecting less for all of these will give me an ultimate fulfillment which is equal to happiness, and I believed that as a happy being these rules to be happy is a way of God that I only need to take.
Wherever you are, wherever you're going, God is right there beside you seeing and knowingWherever you go, He already knows what lies ahead and what's behind You'll always find He's never too far from wherever you are.
-Whatever I do is directly to my conscience, conscience that tells me weather it is right or wrong, conscience that helps me to analyze things from good to bad.Whenever I am doing something, I ask myself the question "Am I hurting myself or others". If I answer is no, then I am not doing harm and that's my conscience always says.
Generally,wherever we are going God is always there not too far from us, He knows everything what we do and guide in everything what we decide. A good person must have his goals how to do it, must live with it and must have a conscience that will help him to grow with living with the Lord.
And the Lord appeared unto him
in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the
day; And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by
him: and when he saw [them], he ran to meet them from the tent door,
and bowed himself toward the ground, And said, My Lord, if now I have
found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy
servant: Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your
feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: And I will fetch a morsel of
bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for
therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou
hast said. And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said,
Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead [it], and make
cakes upon the hearth. And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf
tender and good, and gave [it] unto a young man; and he hasted to dress
it. And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed,
and set [it] before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they
did eat.
"The life I touch for good or ill will touch another life, and that in turn another, until who knows where the trembling stops or in what far place my touch will be felt." - A touch of Blogger"
