Reconciliation

Have you ever got into conflict with someone especially a friend of yours?

If that is so, then you could do reconciliation with him or her to restore the friendship you and him or her established before became strained due to conflict.

But, is reconciliation is so easy? No. It takes time and requires skillful and thorough diplomacy and full negotiations to achieve it as the saying goes "Time heals all wounds." Once fulfilled, forgive each other for the mistakes you have done amongst yourselves. You will became friends with each other, but not closest unlike before since it does not mean that you will never forget the mistakes you have done to each other to serve as a lesson in the history of your respective lives and not to repeat it again.

And reconciliation is not being forced upon on the person to whom you have conflict with. What if that person refuses to reconcile with you? You have no choice but to wait for his or her decision, at the time of his or her own choosing whether or not to reconcile with you. In fact, that is his or her discretion. As I said ealier, it will take time, long time to take place.


Sometimes, it takes longer like for example when you reach old age especially if you have respective families, so and so.

But as for me, reconciliation is still the solution in ending any conflict because it will gradually heal the wounds of such conflict and that will end it piece by piece, not personal tirades, not lawsuits.

Marawi Conflict and Mindanao Martial Law

To me, the declaration of Martial Law in Mindanao by the President last May 23 in response to the ISIS-inspired Maute group attack in Marawi City and to other attacks in the whole island group in the past months was the firmest response he had to do as the Commander-in-Chief of the AFP under our Constitution. A boldstroke decision that was necessary to restore peace and order in Mindanao that we, the Filipino people must applaud as it will easily contain the rebellion of the ISIS inspired-Maute group. The both Houses of Congress extended Martial Law in Mindanao until December 31, 2017 as requested by the President on July 22 and last July 4, prior to that, the Supreme Court in a landmark decision in the case of Lagman v. Medialdea declared the imposition of Martial Law in Mindanao as constitutional. Be that as it may however, we, the Filipino people should pray that the implementation of Martial Law in Mindanao would not lead to human rights abuses and if ever there is such, it must ...

Responsible Blogger

In this blog for today, I will discuss how to be a responsible blogger. Responsible blogger means that you are always thinking of accountability in what you are saying in your blog. That you will exercise fairness and objectivity in commenting on national issues and international issues, without offending personalities, even if you are criticizing constructively their actions as some of them are working in Government and doing public service to the people. And a responsible blogger knows what are his or her limits. Nowadays, blogging has been abused, for the sake of power, perhaps money, political ambition, etc., by some with total impunity and recklessness at the expense of other bloggers, and of some people. So much callousness indeed that should be stopped by the way because it is bad for the country, and not being helpful all along. And that, what is saddening is that due to this, the blogging industry have been affected and many bloggers, who have a good standing reputation for ye...

The PH-US Visiting Forces Agreement

The Visiting Forces Agreement or VFA signed on 1997 between the United States and the Philippiunes, according to Wikipedia is “is a bilateral visiting forces agreement between the Philippines and the United States .” 1 It promotes joint military exercises between the Philippine and US military forces yearly. This was considered by the Philippines as a treaty that is why on 1998 also, then President Joseph Estrada ratified the VFA and submitted it to the Senate for its concurrence. It is because the Philippine Constitution says and I quote: “ No treaty or international agreement shall be valid and effective unless concurred in by at least two-thirds of all the Members of the Senate. “ 2 The Philippine Senate, by a vote of 18-5, concurred in the ratification of the VFA on May 27, 1999. And on June 1, 1999, the VFA came into effect per Exchange of Notes between then Foreign Affairs Secretary Domingo Siazon, Jr. and then US Ambassador to the Philippines Thomas Hubbard. In t...
