Pinoy lawmaker files reso honoring Steve Jobs
MANILA, Philippines - Paranaque Rep. Roilo Golez has filed House Resolution 1795 honoring Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.

skepticism."
He described Jobs as the Thomas Edison of our time who "changed and transformed life and made it so easy for people of all ages to adjust to the digital world."

commiserate is one thing but a resolution?
shouldn't our law makers concentrate on something to improve our plight instead?
This is where your tax money goes... tsk
I'll address you as Mr. Golez, since "honorable" is a word that should be earned.
We all respect Steve Jobs. So anong gusto mo mangyari? Gusto mo magtayo ka ng rebulto ni Steve Jobs sa Rizal kaharap ni Jose Rizal?
There is so much to be done in the Philippines, and you dare use taxpayer money's in an irrelevant bill that will help no Filipino? ano ba yan?
Ito ang problema sa Pilipinas e. Yun mga walang pinagaralan inuuto niyong mga pulitko para iboto kayo tapos wala naman katuturan ang pinagagawa.
There should be a constitutional right to vote, because the thinking-educated people are outnumbered. And, politicians like this get into the office. Because people let them.
why?
RIP to the man that has a different view of the world, and the courage to share the idea that has affected a lot of people. Nothing wrong with admiring one of the most influencial personalities in the world that made a difference. But to file a resolution?
