The archipelago is on a tight watch. 

Some smart-asses  propose for the amputation of the Philippines:  separate Mindanao.  Cut it off the whole country,  redefine the archipelagic doctrine! 

And then came the temblors . . .measured at 7.6 to 7.9.  That magnitude means a great quake.  Still, Idon‘t hear anyone describing it as an absolute-worst-case, and i‘m glad it isn‘t,  although already categorised by the books as a great quake. A great quake can do much damage.

The after-quakes are a present danger though. (Keep safe,my fellowmen in Mindanao!)

Our separatists are having a field day, claiming that itis a go sign for amputation! What kind of sick minds do

these arses have?

A day later, central Luzon felt the frisson. A quiver, lesser

than the one that shook Mindanao, a quake nonetheless. 

So now, what? Do we also separate Manila from the

PH map?

Educated people do not notice the idiocy of their own advocacies and sentiments. The intelligent ones do.

And THAT is the difference.
