Retrogressing Education Consider this pronouncement from Chiz Whiz: Secondly, Mr. Speaker, we should and we propose that the curriculum be restudied. Mr. Speaker, I know that this will generate a lot of debate but I hope that our colleagues will listen for awhile. Sa ngayon, umaabot sa nine to eleven ang subjects ng ating mga [...]
Guess what folks! Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino Jr does have a platform! And it looks like this: Considering that Noynoy’s website had recently been glossed-up, I suppose it is quite safe to assume that the above also represents an “improvement” over what Ben Kritz described as a “non-platform” back in late August of this year. Not [...]
Last September 21, nagkaroon ako ng chance to talk with Raymond Ciriaco, International Director of Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) and recorded our conversation where he mention his plight as PPCRV member, hopes on the youth and faith on automated election. 1992, ito ang taon na kung saan nagsimula sa PPCRV si Raymond [...]
By all intents and purposes, people’s choice presidential candidate of the moment Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino Jr has kicked off his campaign to get his bum on that coveted seat in Malacanang in 2010. And he is backed by the most illustrious relics of the 1986 “revolution” upon which his popular appeal is built. Indeed, Aquino’s [...]
The following excerpt and comment have sent me off to a contemplative mood for awhile. The first one from FV’s news department himself, Ding G. Gagelonia: But times have changed. Instead of reporting on the news, it seems, journalists are losing their detachment and are becoming self-obsessed, not unlike the political and social bigwigs they [...]
Electing someone to public office is like hiring a plumber. You pick one to call relying mainly on an ad (the campaign, so to speak) they place, say, on the Yellow Pages. But then you agree on some form of Statement of Work (the platform) before you give him the green light to proceed. The [...]
Caffeine Sparks makes an insightful critique on another one of Conrado de Quiros‘s lame attempts to prop up his manok. Tragic for Noynoy Aquino‘s campaign as I think de Quiros is doing more damage than good as he goes about his ironic crusade. I echo Nick’s call in a comment he made there: Framing the [...]
Within days from announcing his presidential bid, Noynoy has begun to provide us a purview of some of his priorities in rebuilding our democracy, while responding to certain concerns of critics about himself. Consider this report from Inquirer.net supposedly gathered from a phone interview with Noynoy: – “They want me to hear no evil, speak [...]
It is half-official now. Mar Roxas (one of the politicians who has the most highly-developed platform among them) has stepped back to set the stage for Aquino (a politician who has a virtually non-existent platform) to run for president. Pending the results of some sort of “retreat” that the son-of-heroes will be taking to mull [...]
Selecting a leader is a hard task. In a field of equally capable peers, selecting the candidate best fit for the job is hard. In a field of equally incompetent peers, selecting the most competent will also be hard. But supposedly in a field of unequal capabilities, the best person for the job should be [...]
