		<description>Why only mark?? he just maintains the website. All of its members contributed the other stuff found in that site.

What&#039;s wrong with s3x?? Everybody is doing IT since from the past. It really depends on how you Look at it. It&#039;s a common thing. Yes, its for adults. But its an adult responsibility also to watch their Young not to go to a such Website. But sooner or later as they Grow they will Know what s3x or obscene is.

Does Legarda doesn&#039;t love a passionate s3x? I don&#039;t think so. LOVE and S3x are pairs. &quot;synonyms&quot; almost.</description>

		<description>you know what. i wrote a blog on my multiply site to express my feelings on whats going on in our department. i wrote a blog on why our dean was transferred to another department. i was so happy then that the admin finally realized that she is not a competent dean to our department. i was so happy then and created a blog saying all the things on how happy i am. i wrote everything i know on whats the real reason on why she was transferred to the other department.

just this week her constituents had read my blog. yah they printed it out and i was called to see her before i enroll this semester. well. she’s so kawawa. her last term will be this october 31, 2008 na and sorry xa. enrollment is from october 20 - november 5,2008 haha. and by november she’ll not be signing my enrollment form na. hay. losers nga naman.

while talking to my teacher to have some advices, i saw her walking in our school corridor. she was acting like “e post kaya natin ito dito” luckily i have my friend sa labas. nakita niya picture ko which is the actual pic that is on my multiply blog. so yah, honestly na harassed ako. pero. does she really need to act like that? i mean she’s a dean with doctoral degree and she’s acting like that. i mean.omg. what a shame.

anyways, my advisers told me that i don’t have to worry because it is my personal blog and no one can ever dictate me on what to post. well. as Ive read the content on this site. nakatulong talaga xa. salamat. ehehe
God Bless.</description>

		<description>[...] I was already about to write a &#8220;Support Boy Bastos&#8221; blog post and as a force of habit, I did some research. Good thing Abe wrote another blogpost about the spreading misinformation. Upon reading it and another article written by &#8220;The Warrior Lawyer&#8221; about Boy Bastos, I came into conclusion that support for Boy Bastos from the Philippine blogging community might just taint the image of us local Filipino bloggers. In this regard, I back Abe&#8217;s call to &#8220;review the facts&#8221; before we take action. Thing is, Mark appears to have violated - through his website exhibiting pornographic content - Philippine laws relating to morality and perhaps a few more. [...]</description>

		<description>in the most controversial case of People v. Larry Flint, it gave manifest to the essence of the &#039;freedom of expression&#039;..it may be simply said as.. &quot;i may be a bad boy but that does not make me a non-citizen, therefore, with equal right to be respected as an individual.&quot;

the freedom and rights of the constitution is not a guarantee only to the majority but to all citizens.

the US is the biggest producer of &#039;porn&#039;, every 36 minutes or so, a new video is produced.  there are some 200M adult web pages ..followed closely by Germany.
it is a big business. we still have to hear of a controversy from that side.

here comes &#039;boybastos&#039;,  who did not even make a business out of it. it was a collective effort by it members. the ordinary citizen who had found new freedom in the latest gadgets, the cellphone and the digital camera was his means to socialize and to have fun. fun which found its expression in the internet.</description>

		<description>Agree with many of your insights.  But I guess we need to start somewhere.  It may be a political strategy on the part of Loren, but I believe one complaint started the snowball.  You are very correct when you point out the other obscene sites. Yes, it has proliferated today and a lot of people are making money out of this.  It&#039;s a different story when you&#039;re in dire need of money and would be willing to sell your soul for a piece of bread.  But for the &quot;rich&quot; people, like Verzo who hails from the plush Ayala Alabang (and note that his vehicles run in the millions), the entrepreneur in him - selling porn - is a bipolar mentally unstable individual who asserts his sexually insatiable urges in the form of &quot;democracy and freedom of expression&quot;.  There are many problems this country has.  Instead of just looking the other way and castigating the senator, let&#039;s look at it as a first step towards combating pornography.</description>

		<description>What can be considered as offensive and what is not? I may find FHM, Maxim, Red, 10 Magazines very offensive but has Loren even tried complaining about them first? I also find the local newspaper &quot;Sagad&quot; extremely offensive because it displays uncensored images of individuals engaged in sexual acts. How about the porn movies produced and shot here in the Philippines? I guess Loren and the NBI has to investigate the producers of Manila Exposed 1 to 6, Manila X, Manila X 2, Teen Philippines, Teen Philippines 2, Teen Philippines Threesomes, Filipina Pussy Lickers, Wreck My Asian Virgin Ass, Trike Patrol, Manila Milkshake, and many other porn movies created here in the Philippines. Loren and the NBI are blinded by the fact that there are too many porn sites out there that are created by Filipinos for trafficking women abroad. Instead of shutting down small communities such as the website boybastos.com, I suggest the government focus its attention to websites such as  teenfilipina.com, manilaexposed.com, trikepatrol.com, go2phil.com, asianamateurs4you.com/filipina and get into their operations within the Philippines. I&#039;m just puzzled why Loren focused all her attention - together with the dumb NBI - with boybastos.com when in fact, there are probably a thousand other Pinoy porn sites available that directly sell Filipina flesh to the world. Is it because the sites are maintained or owned by Americans residing in the US that&#039;s why Loren cannot &quot;touch&quot; them? If this is the reason, then the NBI cannot sue Mark Verzo because his website boybastos.com is hosted in the US and registered with Godaddy.com, another website registered in the US. 

I believe we should have updated and realistic laws regarding pornography. We are not in China or other communist countries that suppress the freedom of their people by filtering the Internet. If the government really wants to ban pornography in the Philippines, they should start first with the local producers of porn in the local entertainment industry. I recently watched Asia Agcaoli&#039;s &quot;Bedtime Stories&quot; and I consider it a soft porn. The only difference is they did not show the sex organs of the actors and actresses in the said smut video. The MTRCB should start to clean first the local entertainment industry if they really want to get rid of all &quot;indecent&quot; materials in our country. Loren should be wise enough to think about this first before raising her publicity in exchange for boybastos.com&#039;s sad plight.

Next in line should be the cleaning of pornographic newspapers proliferating within Metro Manila and nearby provinces. They should also consider raiding the offices of Maxim, FHM, Uno, Red, 10, Amateurs, 18, and other gay magazines that can be easily bought from a nearby Mini Stop or 7/11 store if they are really serious in uplifting the morals of the Filipino people. 

What is so sad about this incident is that Loren and the NBI is only riding with the popularity of the issue. They just want to be the &quot;good guys&quot; when in fact they do nothing. I personally believe that Pinoy porn sites hosted in the United States or other countries cannot be held liable here in the Philippines as long as they do not violate the laws of the country hosting their content. The jurisdiction here is still not clear and we have no law governing materials transmitted via electronic means. If the government will arrest individuals owning porn sites, then they should begin arresting all porn sites owned by foreigners in all countries worldwide because they can be viewed here in the Philippines.

Or maybe the government can just shut up and create more liberal laws allowing LEGAL pornography. Why do nations such as United States, Japan and Europe allow pornography? Does it mean they are evil? The Philippines is just a small country with obsolete and outdated laws that needs to be repealed. I guess Loren just have to start doing her job as an ordinary citizen by returning her ABS-CBN and start criticizing all horny Pinoys.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s pathetic that these Filipino politicians focus on a friggin&#039; porn website. Ms. Legarda is simply trying to steal some limelight because she is useless as a politician, anyway. Geez, Philippines is a total trash! From the most common citizen to the President! A nation of basket cases.</description>
