About The North Rail Project:
Im so excited hearing upon this project coz its an efficient transport service for the Filipino people. As i observed here
in Germany its Environment friendly, faster and affordable.
I guess it would be paid off in 20 years as long as its in good management.
Im praying that it would push thru, more power to you guys.
We will come to the Philippines next year and inviting more tourist to come to the Philippines… at sana that time is the North rail trains runs to Subic Naval Base, where i came from.
Thx for this wonderful page! Im your avid fan.
Take care…

I just want to share this to everybody.
This is an essay written by a Korean student we want
to share with you.
My Short Essay about the Philippines[/b]
Jaeyoun Kim
Filipinos always complain about the corruption in the
Philippines . Do you
really think the corruption is the problem of the
Philippines ? I do not
think so. I strongly believe that the problem is the
lack of love for the
Philippines .
Let me first talk about my country, Korea . It might
help you understand my
point. After the Korean War, South Korea was one of
the poorest countries
in the world. Koreans had to start from scratch
because entire country was
destroyed after the Korean War, and we had no natural
resources.
Koreans used to talk about the Philippines, for
Filipinos were very rich in
Asia . We envy Filipinos. Koreans really wanted to
be well off like
Filipinos. Many Koreans died of famine. My father’s
brother also died
because of famine. Korean government was very
corrupt and is still very
corrupt beyond your imagination, but Korea was able
to develop dramatically
because Koreans really did their best for the common
good with their heart
burning with patriotism. Koreans did not work just
for themselves but also
for their neighborhood and country. Education
inspired young men with the
spirit of patriotism.
40 years ago, President Park took over the government
to reform Korea . He
tried to borrow money from other countries, but it
was not possible to get
a loan and attract a foreign investment because the
economy situation of
South Korea was so bad. Korea had only three
factories. So, President
Park sent many mine workers and nurses to Germany so
that they could send
money to Korea to build a factory. They had to go
through a horrible
experience.
In 1964, President Park visited Germany to borrow
money. Hundred of
Koreans in Germany came to the airport to welcome him
and cried there as
they saw the President Park . They asked to him,
“President, when can we be
well off?” That was the only question everyone
asked to him. President
Park cried with them and promised them that Korea
would be well off if
everyone works hard for Korea, and the President of
Germany got the strong
impression on them and lent money to Korea . So,
President Park was able to
build many factories in Korea . He always asked
Koreans to love their
country from their heart. Many Korean scientists and
engineers in the USA
came back to Korea to help developing country because
they wanted their
country to be well off. Though they received very
small salary, they did
their best for Korea . They always hoped that their
children would live in
well off country.
My parents always brought me to the places where poor
and physically
handicapped people live. They wanted me to
understand their life and help
them. I also worked for Catholic Church when I was
in the army. The only
thing I learned from Catholic Church was that we have
to love our
neighborhood. And, I have loved my neighborhood.
Have you cried for the Philippines ? I have cried
for my country several
times. I also cried for the Philippines because of
so many poor people. I
have been to the New Bilibid prison. What made me
sad in the prison were
the prisoners who do not have any love for their
country. They go to mass
and work for Church. They pray everyday. However,
they do not love the
Philippines . I talked to two prisoners at the
maximum-security compound,
and both of them said that they would leave the
Philippines right after
they are released from the prison. They said that
they would start a new
life in other countries and never come back to the
Philippines .
Many Koreans have a great love for Korea so that we
were able to share our
wealth with our neighborhood. The owners of factory
and company were
distributed their profit to their employees fairly so
that employees could
buy what they needed and saved money for the future
and their children.
When I was in Korea , I had a very strong faith and
wanted to be a priest.
However, when I came to the Philippines , I
completely lost my faith.
I was very confused when I saw many unbelievable
situations in the
Philippines . Street kids always make me sad, and I
see them everyday. The
Philippines is the only Catholic country in Asia ,
but there are too many
poor people here. People go to church every Sunday
to pray, but nothing
has been changed.
My parents came to the Philippines last week and saw
this situation. They
told me that Korea was much poorer than the present
Philippines when they
were young. They are so sorry that there are so many
beggars and street
kids. When we went to Pasangjan, I forced my parents
to take a boat
because it would fun. However, they were not happy
after taking a boat.
They said that they would not take the boat again
because they were
sympathized the boatmen, for the boatmen were very
poor and had a small
frame. Most of people just took a boat and enjoyed
it. But, my parents
did not enjoy it because of love for them.
My mother who has been working for Catholic Church
since I was very young
told me that if we just go to mass without changing
ourselves, we are not
Catholic indeed. Faith should come with action. She
added that I have to
love Filipinos and do good things for them because
all of us are same and
have received a great love from God. I want
Filipinos to love their
neighborhood and country as much as they love God so
that the Philippines
will be well off. I am sure that love is the
keyword, which Filipinos
should remember. We cannot change the sinful
structure at once. It should
start from person. Love must start in everybody, in
a small scale and have
to grow. A lot of things happen if we open up to
love. Let’s put away our
prejudices and look at our worries with our new eyes.
I discover that
every person is worthy to be loved. Trust in love,
because it makes
changes possible. Love changes you and me. It
changes people, contexts
and relationships.
It changes the world. Please love your neighborhood
and country. Jesus
Christ said that whatever we do to others we do to
Him. In the
Philippines , there is God for people who are abused
and abandoned. There
is God who is crying for love. If you have a child,
teach them how to love
the Philippines . Teach them why they have to love
their neighborhood and
country. You already know that God also will be very
happy if you love
others.
That’s all I really want to ask you Filipinos

look at what happened to Mrs. apalla….she was dying for that unreasonable situation……it is brutal…hindi naman mababalik ang buhay ng tao kahit bigyan mo pa cya…kung ginawa nyo lang ng tama. kahit hindi cya mananlao at least sa ngayun kapiling pa rin niya ang kanyang family. di nyo kac alam kung gaano kasakit ang mawalan ng buhay…masakit nga yung nakita mo siyang namatay…..ano pa kaya ang yung sa ULTRA STAMPEDE……dapat may puso kayo na dapat pangalagaan ang kpakanan nang bawat filipino….
i think ABS-CBN, BAWAT PINOY GALIT SA INYO……ako nag sympathy lang ako sa nasasaktan…..

i think ABS-CBN is a big culpability in terms of blaming of why it was happened because if we based on the stories behind the scene of contestants……it has an anomalies regarding the distribution of the tickets….well, ABS-CBN must faced their consequences because they are not caring the emotion of others…..

taga-villasis ako na nag-aaral sa baguio. sayang nga at di ako nakapanood ng festival. na-cover yun sa maraming istasyon ng telebisyon. iba na talaga kasi ang villasis, pang world record na.
nanood ako ng parade last january 14. ask ko lang kung bakit walang sumaling drum & lyre from DRECS and SAAA?
grabe ung nalikom nilang pers, more or less 19M. hoping na magagamit siya sa magandang paraan na lalong ika-uunlad pa ng ating bayan. GO VILLASSINIANS!!!!!!!

[…] Speaking of Wowowee, it’s disappointing what has happened since the so called “stampede” incident. For those not in the know, click here. I had originally hoped that the government would be more sympathetic to ABS-CBN; unofortunately, it’s the total opposite. […]

We are very thankful to the WEBMASTER for initiating PANGASINAN.ORG. We have better information system for our province and lots of pouring help to every town initiated by balikbayans from around the world. The provincial government should create a WEBSITE for the whole province of Pangasinan and each town should have a representative. Missions for medical, farming improvement, fishing improvement, river cleanup, tourist spot improvement and advertisement & etc.. I noticed that bigger and more progressive towns have more projects from balikbayans and smaller towns are left out. If we can create this WEBSITE, we can make projects as a group and will be easier to the pocket. We can advertise to PANGASINENSES to be the primary tourist as well as from the entire country and the world. Our province is very beautiful and with the help of the balikbayans to the provincial government, we can create a very positive step to help our province as a whole. Thank you and MABUHAY PANGASINAN!!!
