Filipinos were very happy that Pacquiao won the fight. But mostly says that it would be much better if the Judges called it a draw. For all the viewers cold say if who would be the real winner. Some Filipinos said that they would be more proud if it's a draw or Marquez won the fight. Some of them also said that Judges let Pacquiao won because he the on the top rank. But if it happens that he was on the lower rank than Marquez, he would have loose the fight.

HOW AND WHO KILLED GADDAFI

Muammar Qaddafi was killed by the fighters of the new regime yesterday, Thursday, October 20, 2011 in his hometown Sirte, Libya after he was cornered in a sewage pipe while waving his golden gun.

“Gadhafi was in a jeep when rebels opened fire on it. He got out and tried to flee, taking shelter in a sewage pipe. NTC fighters opened fire again and he came out carrying a Kalashnikov (assault rifle) in one hand and a pistol in the other.Gadhafi looked left and right and asked what was happening. Rebels opened fire again, wounding his leg and shoulder. He died after that,” NTC field commander, Mohammed Leith, told AFP.

But according to interim premier Mahmud Jibril, Gaddafi was caught in a crossfire between his supporters and new regime fighters and got hit in his head, after he was captured. “When he was found, he was in good health, carrying a gun,” Jibril told a press conference in Tripoli. After Gaddafi was caught, he was transfered from the sewage pipe to a pick-up truck. “When the vehicle started moving, it was caught in crossfire between Gadhafi fighters and the revolutionaries, and he was shot in the head. He was alive up to last moment until he arrived at hospital in the town of Misrata.” Jibril added.

But a videotape aired on Arab satellite channels showed a different statement compared from Leith and Jibril's. On that aired videotape, Gaddafi is still alive and walking but handled by the Libya's new regime fighters roughly after he was captured. Gaddafi was bloodied in the head, face and shoulders and said to be about to cry out.

Aside from Gaddafi, Leith said that Mutassim, one of Gaddafi's son, was also killed in Sirte. He was found by the NTC fighters dead with the ex-defense minister Abu Bakr Yunis Jabar and put them in an ambulance to be brought to Misrata.

FACEBOOK LAW HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED


Law makers in Missouri implemented a law to prevent the teachers from contacting their students through facebook or any other social network sites. Some teachers were happy about this law but some were not. Although there are still who were unflavored of this law, Missouri were still able to implement it.On my own thoughts, there are many good things about this law. First and for most, why do some teachers need to contact their students through facebook? Can't they remind their students during class hours? Or maybe you're conducting your class through facebook, do you?

One you might ask is "What's the problem of communicating students through social networks, specially facebook?". Well, it's obvious, you're called a teacher to teach the students good acts and not on how to update their status on facebook. One more thing. Anything can be found on social networking or on facebook, including sexual explicits. Is that what you want your students to learn? Hope it's not.

For me, as a concern citizen, Department of Education should make a move regarding this. DepEd should not tolerate this type of act. Make a move or you'll be the one to be blamed in the near future.

Bounty Reward of $25 Million for the Head of bin Laden CANNOT BE CLAIMED?

DECEASED

Today's World's number one news is the "Death of bin Laden". Bin Laden was killed by six marines at a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

Most of us knew that the United States had placed $25 Million as a bounty reward for those who can provide actionable information that can detain or prevent bin Laden from doing any more terrorism worldwide. But the question here is, "Can these $25 Million will be claimed these six marines who had killed the leader of al Qaeda? For as Harry Edwards, a spokesman for the State Department, said, "The department does not generally discuss nominations for awards. The offer is for a maximum of $25 million. If it were paid, it could be less."

According to President Obama, unidentified persons reported the exact location of the leader of al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden. But Counter-terrorism Aide John Brennan confirmed that those two persons were killed in the seal assault on the fortress home of bin Laden.

Supermoon

SUPERMOON - base on reports, there will be a supermoon this coming March 19, 2011.

Supermoon is what the astrologers called when the moon moves closer to earth. Base on records, the normal distance from earth to the moon is about 238, 000 miles. But this time, the moon will move closer to the earth with the distance of approximately 221, 567 miles or 356, 577 kilometer.

An astrologer believes that if the moon will be closer to earth, it can create damages on earth such as natural disasters. If the moon goes super-extreme, it will be a chaos on earth: Huge storms, earthquakes, volcanic erruptions, and many more natural disasters.

Fukushima Nuclear Plants in Japan "LEAKS"?

Image Source: brokenflask.com
" A text msg from my friend


BBC FLASHNEWS: Japan gov't  confirms radiation leaks at Fukushima Nuclear Plants. Asian countries should take necessary precautions. Remain indoors first 24 hours. Swab nech skin with betadine where  thyroid is, radiation hits thyroid first. Take extra precaution. Radiation may hit Philippines starting at 4pm.


Please share to your friends.."

This is exactly the text message that is spreading  just today. The question is, does this text message is true or just a scam? Whatever the truth is, only God knows.

I also made a follow up research and even counter-check from BBC official site regarding this news. But I haven't seen or read any article saying that the nuclear plant is leaking. Government officials in Japan admits that the second explosion has hit the nuclear plant BUT it resisted from the blast and the plant is still intact.
