I was watching this story on tv the other day and it is so unfortunate that people who ar3 so vulnerable ar3 th3 ones who get caught up in this kinds of things. It’s very sad that poverty can drive people into doing things that risk their lives If people had a way to make money and just take care of their lives, I doubt if we would be having such incidents. I wish some countries would come up with certain things or jobs that would help the lessfortunate in the society to avoid this kinds of things. I feel so sad that the maid could be executed because of someone else, while they got in jail the owner of the drugs comes out clean and safe. It saddens me but I cannot do anything.

I think the president should show some compassion, he may have strong stance against illegal drug but showing some favorable action not to the family but to the whole nation who are shouting for Mary Jane, he should do some move for the benefit of this modern hero Pinay.

I think there is no place for compassion. We are thinking from the platform of a common citizen. He might have viewed the case from the human point of view. How many innocent youth might have lost their beautiful days due to this drug trafficking? Because Veloso happens to be a woman he should consider his plea. If he takes such stand then the stand taken becomes diluted.

Because it is not only an issue pertaining to Filippino but also to Indonesia where there also the President bent upon chastising the drug pushers. He can not plead time and again his neighbouring country to show sympathy on her.

Such decisions appear to be quite indigestible. What about the efforts made by the police and other Agencies if the criminal is let lose? They lose confidence and control over the public. People will take these agencies very light. At the same time, the position comes back to the point of origin only.

The lady was kept in prison for the last 9 years and a decision for her execution was taken when Mr Duterte took charge of the office. Unfortunately, he had to take such decision which would have been taken by someone else if he had not been in the office.

The decision of president is not good and also not in favor of nation. I think that Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said Monday that he would not interfere if Indonesia decided to execute a Filipina inmate convicted of drug smuggling, whose case drew international attention last year.

“I told him about Mary Jane and … that Mary Jane brought 2.6 kg of heroin,” said Jokowi, as the Indonesian President is widely known, according to the Indonesian Cabinet Secretary’s website

The Philippine President had previously hinted that we would appeal for Veloso’s life. Before leaving for a regional summit in Laos on Sept. 5, Duterte said he “might just accept the system and plead for mercy.”

According to CNN Philippines, Veloso is due to give testimony in the trial against her alleged recruiters “very soon,” her lawyer said. The Philippine state department said her execution had been indefinitely deferred.

The news I woke up to this morning was about a mosque being vandalized in broad daylight. I guess the vandal was taking advantage of the holiday being celebrated. I don’t know the whole story. But I do know these acts don’t solve any problems or correct anything. The good news is that they were caught on camera.

I have heard some stories and even view in facebook updates that some of our Overseas Filipino Workers especially the Domestic Helpers can received some gifts from their employers. In my interview with Imam, he said this is common, they slaughter some animals and give the meat to the needy and poor people.

Oh..This is a good development towards religious tolerance. Even then,in some parts of Philippines, there are some stray incidents over religion take place. We can not find fault with them as they happen with a spur of emotion. However, such incidents are very rare in every country. Clashes over religious grounds are almost fading away but are being replaced with terrorist activities. This is the sorry state of affairs prevailing in every country.

Just this morning I learned that even the husband pastor died in hospital. I learned this from a person who belong to their sect that told me the husband did not survive the operation.

Its accident happened in an area where many accidents have had happened there. Many lives have been sacrificed in the said place.

May his soul rest in peace. Motor bikes ar3 a sure way of getting to where your going fast but th3 bad thing is that it carries with it a lot of dangers. Many people don’t see them as dangers but they ar3. If only th3 riders could be more cautious and try their luck with cars. They need to take extra care especially when it rains. Back in our country this accidents are pretty much an everyday occurence and it’s really taking a toll on families, where people are taking into riding without taking proper riding lessons before they get to the roads.very unfortunate.

This is a case of overtaking. while overtaking generally the youth can not guess the speed required while overtaking a front vehicle. They should also know how to handle the situation if any vehicle comes in the front. They do not have any estimation and are prone to such accidents. Here the motorbike driver and the pillion rider both expired. Both are above 45. Why and how he took such a decision to overtake another vehicle is really not coming to my understanding.

The road conditions also are responsible for such accidents. The position is not good with India also. Here also the manholes are not covered properly with responsibility and sometimes during rainy season people disappear into the manholes. But, the opposition doie not make an issue over such incidents. They make out an issue over other indecent , indisciplined activities.
