Armed robbers stormed Greenbelt Five at high noon in Manila today. A Rolex Store was the target. The mall locked down as police are conducting their investigation. As I type this, the Inquirer reported one suspect is dead, shot by a bodyguard of Taguig Mayor Freddie Tinga. I’m pretty sure by the time you read [...]

Allow me to start off with a famous O.B.Q. (Original benign0 Quote): The trouble with wiping dust off a mirror is that we get a clearer image of ourselves. – benign0 As such, I cannot agree more with what Norman Sison wrote in a comment on Cocoy’s brilliant piece “Missing the Point on the Road [...]

I don’t think anyone still remembers Jun Lozada. He was a footnote in history, a victim of Power and Greed. A year after that fiasco of ZTN-NBN, who would still follow this guy even if they believe him? Am I the only one who thinks these stories, they’re like bad television. So Jun Lozada has [...]

As Intel closes its Philippine operations, and as left and right people are let go, even from profitable companies like IBM, the world hasn’t seen this fierce challenge in decades. As much as it sounds cold and calculating, [...]

The results from the latest SWS Survey that asked who would be a good president to succeed President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in 2010 was published by Inquirer.Net yesterday. It looks like those who have invested on early political advertisements (masked as advocacy campaigns) are on the right track when it comes to playing the survey [...]
