Binay or Duterte for President?

On Our Presidentiables

Binay or Duterte for president? Or is there something wrong somewhere?

I am putting up this site, IF YOU ASK ME, since I want to share my thoughts on issues which are affecting us. For example, our local TV is broadcasting about the signature campaign for Mayor Duterte to be president. I think we need to dig first the qualifications and capabilities of our presidentiables in a free and academic forum, and not just letting the non-taxpayers and less educated to tell us who will be the next president through the power of their signatures.

About Vice President Binay who is very, very ambitious to be the next Philippine president, my opinion is that he is a certified "trapo" (traditional politician). Therefore, he is no different from all the "trapos" that were ahead of him. His interest is all about himself. I learned this one comment from the newspaper: "inay...huwag si binay." Imagine his recruiting Vilma Santos or Jinggoy to be his running mate?

Binay or Duterte for president? Or is there something wrong somewhere? Something is wrong indeed.

Gay Marriage: The Culture of Making Right What is Clearly Wrong in the Name of Freedom and Equality

I am putting up this site, IF YOU ASK ME, since I want to share my thoughts on issues which are affecting us.

On Gay Marriage

US President Obama will be meeting with Pope Francis at Vatican. Since Obama is supporting gay marriage, what do you think will be the position of Pope Francis on the issue of gay marriage? We don't know, but we have a hint based on this very anti-Catholic comment of Pope Francis: “If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?” My one-cent opinion is that both Obama and Pope Francis love the people more than the Lord God who said in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NASB):

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.

The Bible said that the homos cannot "inherit the kingdom of God." But Pope Francis, who is kissing on his Bible probably daily, didn't believe in this holy word of God.

There are many things we will be discussing in this blog yet. "IF YOU ASK ME" was created to share an opinion, no matter how shallow or insignificant it may come along.

With Pope Francis hinting his approval to gay marriage, our world that is peopled by 1.2 billion Catholics, will be impacted somehow by this culture of making right that which is clearly wrong and obnoxious.
