Before this day ends, I would just like to say THAT I AM NOT A PAID TROLL. I am not one to sell my vote nor principles. I really don't care if you believe me or not.
Senator Robin Padilla is once again trending news, this time because of his hand gesture during the playing of the National Anthem at the SONA.
Ignorant critics of the Senator lashed at him for supposedly mocking our Pambansang Awit, not knowing that as a Muslim, Sen RP is simply practicing his faith with the “Kalima La Ilaha Illallah.”
Sen RP says that “A clenched fist with the index finger pointing upward is a show of Islamic faith that asserts the oneness of God.”
Former Senator Ping Lacson, in joining the mob calling out Sen RP, even invoked section 38 of RA 8491 - AN ACT PRESCRIBING THE CODE OF THE NATIONAL FLAG, ANTHEM, MOTTO, COAT-OF-ARMS AND OTHER HERALDIC ITEMS AND DEVICES OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Now what does Section 38 say?
“As a sign of respect, all persons shall stand at attention and face the Philippine flag, if there is one displayed, and if there is none, they shall face the band or the conductor. At the first note, all persons shall execute a salute by placing their right palms over their left chests.”
Now, while Sec 38 of RA 8491 states “right palm over left chest,” it does not state whether it has to be open palm, unlike Sec 25 (Pledge to the Flag), which clearly states “Such pledge shall be recited while standing with the right hand palm open raised shoulder high.”
So…
Did Sen RP make a mockery of the National Anthem? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Did Sen RP violate the law and heraldic code? CERTAINLY NOT!
So what’s our lesson for the day Peeps?
Never, ever understimate a passionate and determined person such as our neophyte Sen RP because he can be more than what you originally thought him to be.
Which I would prefer over a Lacson whose track record makes him lesser than what he wants us to think of him.
Reklamo pag nilinis ang magandang dolomite beach after ng bagyo. Pero noong 2 or 3 dekadang puno ng basura ang Manila Bay, ok lang.

Mahirap talagang susuporta ka sa isang politiko tapos naghihintay ng kapalit. Kaya pala sumuporta umaasang mabigyan ng position sa pamahalaan. Hindi lang sikat na Politiko, Artista ang sumuporta sa UNITEAM mas hamak na madami ang MASANG PILIPINO.
