When I was a kid in CDO from 1979 to 1991, I used to see those fuel-efficient 800cc minicars as taxi which we popularly call PIYU (many locals don't know that PU is an abbbreviation for Public Utility). Given the chance to become an industrialist, I would like to establish minicar assembly plant in CDO and revive them as the ruling taxis in the streets.
I want to produce clustered components that can be assembled by a 5th grader. Once the children gain the confidence of assembling a car, they will begin to start thinking big to find innovative ways to improve it.
I want the entire Bangsamoro Land to manufacture or assemble its own fuel-efficient cars, motorcycles, trams, bicycles, and speedboats.

"John, dami na buildings starting to be placed near Cagayan de Oro River which I don't like. Magiging Pasig River siya later on. I don't know why a lot of selfish businessmen don't have sympaty for environment. I hate floods. I hate plastics. I missed drinking water from faucet. Dati kung pinapaligo ko I can also Drink" - Doctora

Our advocacies and exhortationism that combat evil is very stressful, and it takes dedication and commitment to continue fighting, and we live by self-reliance. How can we win this fight against evil if the people we are protecting continually vote the evil politicians and buy the products that empowers evil corporations?

The new generation of MNLF officers is what I call the super-organization. Kahit ihiwalay nyo kami ng napakalayong lugar, kahit putulan pa kami ng linya ng telepono, kahit hindi kami mag-uusap ng napaka-habang panahon, iisa pa rin ang patutunguhan namin at doon kami mag-kikita-kita pagdating ng araw. Evil leads to diverse direction, but righteousness will lead us to the same direction no matter what will happen.

Tingnan ninyo ang mga taong bayan ng bansang Pilipinas from the top view, tapos tingnan ninyo ang mga tinitingala ninyong mga matatandang politiko na galing sa mayayaman at popular pamilya. Napakalaki ng inequality gap. Isang boto ka lang pero powerful yan kasi nakapag-aral ka naman at alam mo kung ano ang tama.

Class struggle is already growing in the Philippines and is almost sufficient to ignite a class war. Class War does not explode on proverty factor alone. It errupts when there is sufficient population size of empoverished people, continuous oppression by the government, gross exploitation by the elite rich, political persecution, and suppression of peaceful means of ventilating grievances.

Noong araw sir, nakaka-benta ako ng dalawang balde na taho sa maghapon. Pero nung meron nang nagbebenta na ng taho sa mga malls, nagpalabas sila ng TV at pinakita sa mga tao kung gaano karumi ang pag gawa ng taho na nilalako. Simula nun sir, nahihirapan na ako maka-ubos ng isang balde sa maghapon, so kailangan hanggang hating gabi mag tyaga maglakad para man-benta. (TAHO VENDOR)

Noong election, ang sinisigaw, "makilahok". Nang naka-upo na, ang sinisigaw, "wag kayong pakialamero".

QUESTION: Papa John, unsa imo opinion on special treatment ng mayayamang prisoners? ANSWER: They must be provided with basic humane life support services while INSIDE the prison compound. If the prisoner (rich or poor) complains about the unreliable health services inside the prison compound, then the government must improve it. Jails are also subject to humane standards. But the Philippine case is the worse I can imagine. There was even an incident that the government massacred muslim detainees inside the jail. Remember Abu Sayaff Commander Robot and company? I am not okay with special treatment, but I am extremely not okay with human rights violation inside the prison cells.

The Inefficiancy of war. The only thing war achieves is respect, and respect can be asked/given without a price. I think respect is not earned. Each person has a right to be respected. But why can't people respect? The secret of peace comes from within us. There is no need to suffer the agony of war because the price of peace is as cheap as apology and forgiveness.
