Defining my Personal Freedom




Freedom is not to do what is prohibited in the Holy Quran but to do what is best for humanity. I shall not be controlled by a Mullah but by the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad and the words of the Holy Quran.

 I have faith in my personal values not clothed with racism and archaic beliefs. I shall cherish the freedom to acquire a deeper knowledge to guide my personal choices and decisions, not outside Islam.

 I assert without reservation that freedom for me is absolute and attainable only by me. My freedom is personal and not debatable and I will not allow books nor theories to define it for me.

 My freedom is my possession and could not be owned by anyone NOT UNLESS I share it willingly out of being selfless.

 If my stand on freedom will be viewed by others as being selfish, for their failure to think outside the box, then I don't mind. I will not be free if I have to conform to their personal expectations.

 And I can only truly say that I am free when I know that my life is defined by me. Sometimes Freedom for me is not also being independent for I can find freedom in sharing my life.

 Freedom for me anchors not on other people's acceptance of my stand but on how I accept myself for who I really am and who I want to be.

In the name of TRUTH and FAIRNESS, we stand by the fact that the US Embassy diplomatic cable is “baseless and unfounded." For the record, my father, Datu Zacaria Candao, has not filed any claim of the Liguasan Marsh in the past nor has he authorized any member of the Candao clan or any third party to lobby or make a claim of Liguasan Marsh on his behalf. My father has openly addressed this problem during his incumbency as a major issue that has to be resolved between the Government of the Philippines and the MILF. As a staunch advocate of peace in Maguindanao, the former...

Their Wrongs Vs. Your Rights

Image
We can't please everybody.  So why do we have to? We can speak up anytime, politely as possible, but if there are people who will negate your words, that is a reality.  You need to speak up the truth no matter who gets hurt. As long as you speak the truth, no one can fault you.  So never hold back. Some people will choose to speak ill of you instead of admiring you. That is life and personal opinions do vary. Some will prefer to see you down than triumph.  Instead of getting sad, rise above their narrow-mindedness and focus on your merits. You do not need to prove anything to anyone as long as you know that you are on the right track.  It is your rights above their wrongs.
