Full Moon

Scene One

Me: Ma, Ate C. made a scene at the office last night. { explains why }

Mama: Was the moon full last night?

Me: Yes.

Scene Two

Me: Auntie... Ate C. acted up last night..

Aunt: mhmmm....lunatics... was the moon full?

When my aunt mentioned the word "lunatic" in relation to the full moon, I suddenly realized why lunatics were called as that.

As everyone is aware by now "lunatic" came from the word lunar which means moon.

Lunatics have a tendency to act up and be worse when the moon is full, it's what happened to Ate C. Everyone who knew her and who frequents in the office knows about her condition. She's not exactly "that" crazy or whatsoever... but somehow may "pagka".

The night the moon was full an issue triggered her and she kept on ranting and raving in front of oh so many people. It was the peak hour of the night where everyone's making their transactions. I'm sure to those who knew her would understand her but to the new ones... oh well... I wonder what's going on in their mind.

So... nowww... everyone's on the lookout for "full moons" and careful not to offend her or anything.

It's been a problem for mayors, specially for Mayor Duterte in Davao about minors who cannot be jailed due to the law that prohibits it. I've heard about this issue last year, where all the minors who were caught would just present their birth certificate and claim to be a minor and they would get away from charges like murder, rape, and stealing.

There was this guy who was murdered by a minor at a funeral. The relative of the victim who were all "of age" beat up the murderer and brought him to the precint. The murderer's parents brought out his birth certificate and said he was a minor making the police people incapable of jailing the murderer. Instead, the parents of the murderer brought out charges to the relatives of the victim who beated him up.

Children that disobeys the law would just shout at the police "I'm a minor. You can't put me to jail!". Gang wars continued to be unstoppable.

In Mayor Duterte's show "Gikan sa Masa Para sa Masa" he said: "The man who made the bill and the congress people who approved of it does not know a thing or two about being a mayor or was never a mayor."

The senator who made the bill (di ko na sasabihin kung sino... na disappoint nga ako.. siya pala ang gumawa noon) based it in Europe where the society is far more different from ours. They have this kind of law BUT they have institutions that would take over the minor law breakers... and we don't have that... YET.

I do hope when they made the bill they have checked the effects and all....

It was not balanced. They overlooked a lot of things.

If I am a minor I can certainly steal and kill and then get away with it until I turn 18. Every kid knows that. Every minor who breaks the law knows that.

Mayor: "If they don't do something.... I would supply the grenades and s**** (i forgot the term that could have mean Indian Pana) and have them fight and kill each other. Good people should hide and stay up from them. At least in that way..... devils would be sorted out." ("ako na ang mag supply sa granada ug s**** unya mag pinatyanay na sila. Katong mga maayong tao... panago na lang mo ug palayo sa ila. Para mabawasan ug yawa ang atong dakbayan."

Funny how mayor said that. Nyahaha. Kind of makes sense. I do hope people in the senate would do something about this. :)
