One day, God made a covenant with Abraham, his son Isaac and to his grandchild Jacob. God said, "I give this land to your descendants here, from the rivers of Egypt, the land of Kenites -Euphrates, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hitittes, Perizittes, Amorites, Rephaites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites. These places are known as the "Borders of the land", surrounding the land of Promise that God has given to these people in the West.
In 1967, the towns between Israel, Jordan, Syria and Egypt had a warfare. Israel used their military power to conquer partly the area of Jordan and the west. In that year, due to consistent killings and warfare between the midst countries, the United Nations interferred and passed a resolution for the Israelites to withdraw from their occupied land; some worked for the military (that's why you can see over 3 million Palistines holding and shooting guns illegaly.) just to escape death. Apparently, the lives of the Palestines and Israelites was plagued by daily violence and insecurity.
But I'm not really in particular with Egypt, and what the Bible has to say regarding the land that God has promised.
The Philippines has been called the "Lupang Pinangako" because of it's natural beauty, rich natural sources and because of the hospitable people living here. As what the 'The Apl Song' of the Black Eyed Peas and goes like "Lapit mga kaibigan, at makinig kayo, Ako'y may dala-dalang balita galing sa bayan ko. Nais kong ipamahagi ang mga kwento ang mga pangyayayaring nagaganap sa Lupang Pinangako", the Philippines really had a lot of story still unfolded, drowned and buried in it's self.
Ilang beses nang napansin at napabilang ang kagandahan ng Pilipinas sa 11 Wonders of The World, ang mga magagandang produktong gawa ng mga tribo sa mga kabundukan, ang mga natural na mapagkukunan ng mga enerhiya at malalagong likas na yaman. Yaan ay ilan lamang sa mga dahilan ng mga aktibista noong unang panahon upang mawala sa kamay ng mga mananakop ang Lupang Pinangako. Ang karapatan ng mga Pilipino bilang mga tao, at ang kalayaan.
But is the Philippines still a country of freedom, unity and justice? There are so many controversies ruling in the Philippines now adays. One of the latest and most sounded scandal in the Philly is the fertilizer scam which has done by the undersecretary Jocelyn "Jok-jok" Bolante who seems to be very defensive of himself and the best actor in his own movie as the "Buang". (Hey! I thought we are all in this fight? Bakit ikaw ang nagpapasimula ng krimen sa Pilipinas? To think that you have been elected now and placed in a high position in the House with the trust of the mass.) I hope this scenario won't go far and the "I am sorry" case of Pres. Gloria Arroyo won't be repeated again by him, or any of the officials in the government.
Tapos sasabayan pa ng traffic here in Bulacan, because the arch of Meycauayan in front of Nazarenus Hospital Marilao is being constructed. Haluan mo pa ng init ng panahon at ng sobrang paniningil ng driver sa isang pasahero. The passenger was terribly mad and I can feel it. It's very obvious in his actions and whatever he was saying. But I was not affected by it, instead I remained cool and comfortable. I was thinking then that it's plainly non of my business anyway. I better stay out of the trouble it might give me or him.
Just a little advice to passengers, you won't get very poor with that little peso that was selfishly got from your money (I've heard that God is giving great rewards in heaven when you remained humble and just. So let it be!) and to the drivers, you definitely won't get rich with that centavo you stole from your passengers! You dumbass! If thou wanna get rich, try being humble and just. God will also give you a great reward in heaven.
