Consider a field of only three well-meaning contenders in the presidential derby, all of whom could be very well-endorsed by the newly-merged party to which they all belong – Noli, Gilbert, and BF – in that ranking order. Who will you pick? Before that, let us give a glimpse of what Wikipedia writes about each [...]
I’m supposed to be up in the crater lake of Mt. Pinatubo last weekend, but our trip was canceled at the last minute. Apparently, the RP-US military exercises known as Balikatan is being held in that particular mountain range, and no hikers are allowed up the mountains for safety reasons. With the odds against us, [...]
Come to think of it, it is even far too hard to grab a seat in the Senate come 2010 given that the doors are practically close to new players. Senators Enrile, Estrada, Cayetano (Pia), Lapid, Madrigal, Revilla, Roxas, Defensor, and Gordon may be seeking reelection. Only Senators Pimentel and Biazon would graduate for finishing [...]

The intellectual germ precipitated by Cafeeine_Sparks, one of prolific bloggers of FV and which caught blackhama, an even more prolific blogger with the methodological mind is bound to spread and its social contagion does not stop in UP Diliman. In the same vein, Antipolo City is a little microcosm of Philippine society – writ large. [...]
Juana Change – \”Bayani\” It is heartening to know that our Hongkong migrant workers can take care of themselves if anyone as much as attempt to flaunt the next satire in the future. The satirist, Chip Tsao, while indeed had already asked for a public apology in a press conference held for the purpose and [...]
The fate of three Red Cross aid workers is hanging in the balance after the Philippines government dismissed the demands of their captors. The Abu Sayyaf Islamist group says they will behead one of the workers if security forces do not withdraw from five towns on the southern island of Jolo, by Tuesday. Reynaldo Puno, [...]
The stand off, to tell it like it is, may now be reduced to a case of lifeboat ethics. A single option among many is the best possible solution if we are to situate it in its ordinary moral context. And this is that, we must choose who to save – it is as simple [...]
