I received more than a hundred text messages on Christmas eve and on Christmas Day. I am posting here a few of them. Some messages were outright funny; others were serious and still others were inspiring. Instead of texting them all to you. let me just share them in this corner.
This Christmas season, may you be showered with girls, or showered by girls, or with girls in a shower …
It’s Christmas! Rejoice, for God is with us Praise and thank God for the everlasting gift of Christmas! Indeed, ‘Man will live forevermore because of Christmas Day!’ A blessed Christmas to you and your family! God Bless!
Maalab na Pasko at Mapagpalayang Bagong Taon po sa inyo at sa inyong mga kasambahay at katoto!
I want too keep three things: the sun, the moon and my friends. The sun for daytime, the moon for nighttime and my friends, for lifetime. Happy holidays, my friend! God bless.
Our merriest Christmas wishes for you and your loved ones. May we all have peace in our hearts as we reflect on the true meaning of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
May you and your family enjoy a meaningful, joyous celebration of the child Jesus! A safe and peaceful night ahead! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! May the Lord reward each thoughtful deed you do and hear each prayer you say. May He bless you and your family with His graces all through your life.
Fulfillment doesn’t merely mean achieving your highest dreams in life, but also living a life that has made the lives of others worth living. Merry Christmas!

Good spirit, best wishes and high hopes cannot but accompany the greetings of “Happy New Year!” Said and heard the world over. However, during thses particular times in the life of our country, the truth has to be said that the greetings carry a good amount of reservation.
In other words, with the doubts and ears that accompany the day to day living of millions of Filipinos, it is rather easy to say “Happy New Year!” But truly hard to expect that the year 2007 would be really happy, this is not pessimism but reality, not surrender but the truth–considering that the national present is difficult and the country’s future is rather bleak.
It is said that all economic indicators are up, investments are pouring in, the peso is never that strong. Yet millions do not have enough to eat. People die for lack of medicine. The peso has never been buying so much less. Some 2800 Filipinos leave the country to find work abroad. They not only finance their families but also fund the government.
So many extrajudicial and political killings still go on, with most of the killers remaining free to kill again–and again. No less than two billion pesos were allegedly set aside not really to stop but simply to lessen graft and corruption in government. But the Philippines continues to top the horror roll in cheating and stealing of public funds.

DAGUPAN CITY — Speaker Jose de Venecia may yet find his hands full when he comes home to this city after text messages started circulating Saturday accusing him of “gross misrepresentation of his constituents” in pushing for a Senate-less constituent assembly (con-ass) to amend the Constitution.
“Pls…wil smobdy file recall procedngs vs jdv, 4 gross msrepresnttion of hs consttuents re con ass. hes a shame being a dagupeno!PLS PASS,” the text message, which was also received by most city government officials, said.
But Archbishop Oscar Cruz, who confirmed having received the message, quickly dismissed it as a joke.
“Joke lang yon. I also got that one,” Cruz said.

I just want to comment on the news posted last July 31 Re: Konstruksyon ng dam sa San Fabian, nakatulong ng malaki kontra sa baha
In behalf of the people of Longos Central, we would like to thank all the people behind this project, especially Speaker De Venecia, Mayor Libunao and of course, our beloved Barangay Captain Cristy Dismaya.
May we also request that they give attention to the street lights. Masyadong madilim ang daan. And we also heard na muntik nang magkaroon ng hold-up doon sa isa sa mga kanto na walang ilaw. We want to protect our ka-barangay. We hope that our officials act on this matter as soon as possible.

Hi Sir Jing and Ma’am Susan: Di lang po mga pulis ang ang gumagawa ng kabalbalan, pati na rin po ang nag-tatrabaho sa post office, specially sa EMS na letter. Isa na ang pamilya ko ang nabiktima ng EMS. Kaya, please Aksyon Radyo Pangasinan, paalalahanan nyo po ang nagwo-work ng EMS letter na huwag nilang kunin or pakialaman ang laman ng sulat. Pinakialaman po kasi yong EMS ng brod ko sa sister ko sa Pozorrubio, tapos sabi nila hindi registered yong EMS. May EMS letter ba na hindi registered, eh may resibo po yon?

Good day to you, Mr. Robert Erfe Mejia..
Ang prangkisa po ba ng jeepney ay nasasaklawan niyo? Kung mayroon po kayong authority, hindi na po LTFRB ang mag-iisyu sa amin. Sa kadahilanan po, kayo na yata ang nagproprograma… Yung mga nakapark sa Perez Blvd. (harap ng Victory Liner). Ano po ba ang prangkisa nun? At saan sila dapat lulugar? Di ba towing zone yun? Pakilinis sir. Sana maaksyunan niyo ito sir.
Tanong ko lang din po kung deputized ba ang mga tauhan mo na magkumpiska ng lisensya ng mga drivers. Kasi po sir sa Sangguniang Panglungsod po, dinig ko lang na wala pong authorization na magkumpiska ng lisensya ang enforcers mo.
Humihingi ng agarang kasagutan ukol sa isyung ito.
Maraming salamat po.
