Mindoro Sling is a popular cocktail from Puerto Galera a refreshing mix of rhum, mango and orange juice, grenadine syrup and soda. Sweet and smooth but packs a potent punch.
This blog is like the drink but more than that it is Mindoro's Sling. This is a medium for Mindorenyos like me to speak their minds and let their voices be heard.
What is a sling? The free dictionary defines it as a weapon consisting of a looped strap in which a stone is whirled and then let fly. (A slingshot.) and a looped rope, strap, or chain for supporting or cradling say an injured arm.
This blog is like that. A hard-hitting deadly weapon (ask Goliath) and a device for healing at the same time. Just like the good news this blog is meant to afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted. Sometimes the truth is hard to hear but it's better to air out grievances than to let them fester in the darkness of ignorance or deceit.
As a son of Mindoro I offer my humble blog as one voice crying in the wilderness so that like minded people can show their agreement and support, for those in the fence to take part in the conversations and even for those who disagree with my views to share their own opinions and promote dialogue so that we can move as one people, one Mindoro toward the prospertity that we know we can achieve and our children so richly deserve.
