That backgrounder out of the way, I can then say that it is quite heartening that within FilipinoVoices.com, at least, some of the usual suspects had the decency to see beyond their almost dogmatic [...]
Remembering ConAss
It feels like a life time ago when I greeted you, “Good Morning Manila: The Assess Have it!” You know, that was nearly two months ago. In that span of time, the world was asked, if Neda fell in a desert, would we hear her? Not long after that Michael Jackson was [...]
