stevelvis Maybe that's why most of the poor are taken advantage by the rich because they don't know too much of the law when spoken and written in English.

stevelvis Politicians who use both English and Tagalog wisely are for the people. You can name many top government officials who speak English most of the time.

stevelvis Yes there's nothing wrong for using what we learn but not to all circumstances when we need to address the message to the masses. It has become a norm for people to express their knowledge.

stevelvis How come that even the Philippine laws should be written in English? I don't think that if politicians would answer a question addressed in English (esp by a Filipino interviewer), is informal. The desire to be understood by the masses is what matters most.

stevelvis I admire some politicians who use plain Filipino language. It shows that they want to address their message to the whole Filipino especially to the poor.

In science, we need the heart, the brain and the blood to make our body going. Do you believe that man cannot have life without God's gift of the breath of life? If man can replicate a human body with perfect organs, do you think...

stevelvis Aside from the achievements of medical science, one thing they cannot achieve is restoring life to those who have been dead for days. Comparing the man made cars, even though it's been dead for years, you can still make it run by expert mechanics. If humans...

stevelvis I believe it's what other parents think, but what about the consequence of having many children when poor parents cannot focus on each one's basic needs like moral teaching, right education and communication? Would there be balance in treating each child?

stevelvis Do you think making babies for some poor families is intentional for the purpose of putting their hope in their children? Are there risks involved for raising many children and randomly waiting for one of them to give them hope?

stevelvis If poor families can survive having more children, does it always follow they can focus in the moral and emotional needs of every child?

stevelvis I think they are conditioning the minds of the people that the 2010 election could fail so people won't be surprised to give way to their hidden agendas.
