Get to know Congressman Ruffy Biazon |
|
 Rozzano Rufino Bunoan Biazon, or Ruffy, as he is commonly known, was born on March 20, 1969 in Cavite Naval Station in Cavite City. PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND In 1992, when his father ran for a seat in the Senate, he handled the retired general's campaign. Eventually, Senator Biazon won and Ruffy was taken in by his father as his Chief of Staff, the youngest in the Senate at that time. He acted as the Senator's alter ego for three years until 1995, when Senator Biazon was victimized by Dagdag-Bawas operations in the elections. He has principally authored a total of 78 bills and resolutions in the present Congress. Now in his third term of office, 23 of his authored and co-authored measures were enacted into law. Among these are: RA 9211 (Tobacco Regulation Act), RA 9262 (The Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children Act), RA 9208 (The Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act), RA 9502 (The Cheaper Medicines Act), RA 9504 (Tax Relief for Minimum Wage Earners Act) and RA 9507 (Socialized & Low-Cost Housing Loan Restructuring and Condonation Program) and RA 9520, also known as the new Cooperative Code of the Philippines. *taken from http://www.ruffybiazon.ph/ follow him on facebook, friendster and multiply |

IT'S FINAL!! WE'VE KILLED HB NO. 6776 IN THE SENATE!! WE WON!! |
|
GOOD NEWS! WE WON!!
Actually last night we thought we had lost already. Sen. Rodolfo Biazon had maneuvered the Bill on to the floor after the C-5 debate. He then proceeded in 45 minutes to have the committee reports amended to make it the same as the House bill version and propose amendments for 2nd reading. At about 9pm last bight, he session suspended till today.
Dut to this, today we pulled out all stops and called our remaining allies in the senate, Sen. Chiz Escudero, Sen. Pia Cayetano, who were our law school contemporaries in U.P. They pledged their support during the debate and period of amendment which was scheduled today for HB 6776. As it turned out this was no longer necessary since the minority senators had chose to boycott todfay's last session due to the C-5 controversy. There being no quorum the senate had to adjourn finally without taking up the pending bills! The Good Lord certainly works in strange ways.
Atty JJFAT, Badcop, Googie, Sherwin from Armscor, and myself were in the Senate Session hall today to witness the death of HB 6776 (more on this later)
SWEET VICTORY!!
The long ordeal is over. When the senate meets again on 31 May -5 june it will simply be for the canvassing of the votes for president. THe BIG BILL is DEAD. We KILLED the BILL.
THANK YOU ALL...
To our ally senators and senate staffers who worked for us behind the scenes in support of our stand..
To all the faceless names on the net who stood up against HB 6776 and made a difference...
And to All of us who stood up to this bill, WE SHOULD ALL BE PROUD FOR HAVING DONE AND ACCOMPLISHED WHAT WAS RIGHT.
In the face of corruption, bribery, heavy influence peddling from malacanang and paid lobbyists, we who had NOTHING BUT FAITH, PRAYERS AND DETERMINATION, prevailed!
“I am only one, but I am one. I can't do everything, but I can do something. The something I ought to do, I can do. And by the grace of God, I will.”
MAY GOD BLESS US ALL and LONG LIVE UAA AND PROGUN AND THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS in the Philippines!. read more... |

Happy 4th Anniversary to United Airsoft Alliance |
This month we celebrate the 4th anniversary of the United Airsoft Alliance (UAA).
If not for our ongoing war against House Bill 6776 and Senate Bill 3375, we would be having a party right now. However, as with all things which are more pressing and important, we know our sense of priority. Considering also the disaster we are in and the suffering that people (including our airsoft brothers) are undergoing right now, it would be in bad taste if we would splurge and enjoy ourselves. Instead, the other week we held a disaster relief contribution effort wherein we contributed rice to our suffering bretheren.
It is in this spirit of service and oneness with our people that we celebrate, with simplicity, our 4th anniversary as UAA. So much has happened since 2005; we have accomplished so many record breaking milestones and events in airsoft: the passing of the legalization of airsoft PNP Order No. 11, Our Code of Ethics, UAAPH.COM, North vs South the largest airsoft games in history (which are to date unsurpassed), Corporate Wars, the Inter-Call Center tourneys, The first public AFAD airsoft gun range and fashion shows, the birth of joint ACM and hi-end games, our Christmas parties and airsoft tiangges.
This year saw the birth of another first in airsoft history: UAA as a political lobbying force, forging official ties with PROGUN, PPSA, FAMAP, and PNSA for the furtherance of the shooting sports in Congress and the Senate, and leading the way the the PNP National Firearms Executive Committee. 2010 promises to bring more with the direct lobbying that we shall undertake with the shooting community to pass the Comprehensive Firearms and Explosives Code of the Philippines.
Each year thus brings more opportunities to serve the community and the country - a challenge that UAA has more than lived up to.
Mabuhay ang UAA and Mabuhay ang airsoft! To all our thousands of loyal members our hertfelt thanks to you all for your continued support! |
