What's hot …
By Tony Meloto Speech at Fondacio International Congress Transylvania, Romania May 16, 2013 “Papa, don’t forget to bring lots of garlic.” This was an emphatic piece of advice I received from my 5 year old granddaughter Chloe as I was saying goodbye to my family for the trip to this global faith congress. Well, I texted her Mom this morning not to worry because I’m Read More …
PerryScope By Perry Diaz It’s tough fighting the world’s second biggest economic power and most populous country. But when another economic heavyweight joins the fight against you, they could trounce you very badly. And to make the situation worse, the two adversaries are the giant People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Lilliputian but economically rich Republic of China (ROC), which is more commonly known Read More …
ON DISTANT SHORE By Val G. Abelgas On August 23, 2010, President Aquino had barely warmed his seat in Malacanang when a disgruntled police officer hijacked a tourist bus and took hostage several Hongkong tourists, touching off a crisis that tested Aquino’s mettle in leadership and diplomacy. Eight of the tourists were killed along with the hijacker in the bungled rescue operation that was witnessed Read More …
Kaleidoscope By Perry Diaz There is a new virulent disease that infected a group of people in Washington, DC. So far, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) cannot isolate the organism that’s causing the mysterious disease. It’s so mysterious that it makes a lot of people wonder when – not if – they would be infected by the disease. But for some strange Read More …
GLIMPSES By Jose Ma. Montelibano I really like what Sen. Serge Osmena said about the recently concluded senatorial elections, “P-Noy won but Binay did not lose.” In my view, the 9-3 score is an affirmation of the President’s popularity. I do not believe that voters elected the senators because P-Noy said so, or Binay said so. That P-Noy or Binay said so may have affirmed Read More …
By Ellen Tordesillas Malaya The great thing about last Monday’s election is that, Grace Poe topped the senatorial elections. It must be ego-shattering for the three re-electionists – Loren Legarda, Chiz Escudero, and Alan Cayetano –whose desire for the number one slot is not a secret to the public. Other pluses about Monday’s polls are the re-election of Antonio Trillanes IV and Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel Read More …
ON DISTANT SHORE By Val G. Abelgas With the mid-term elections barely behind us, the attention of Philippine politicians would soon be focused on the presidential elections in 2016. Many political pundits believe that with the overwhelming victory of President Aquino’s Team P-Noy in the senatorial elections, whoever he anoints for the 2016 elections would almost certainly be the next president of the Philippines. It’s Read More …
By Bernie Lopez Author’s note. Earlier transmission carried a typo error by my original source (see link at the end). The incident happened in August 18, 1996, not 1966 as earlier given. At that time Pope Francis was just a priest, ordained in 1966, became an archbishop in 1998, and a Cardinal in 2001. At the time he ordered the scientific analysis in 1999, he Read More …
GLIMPSES By Jose Ma. Montelibano Poverty in the Philippines cannot be effectively and substantially resolved. All the king’s horses and all the king’s men cannot raise at least 5 million Filipino families out of poverty, not for as long as they do not change they way they look at the poor. The poor are not the problem, we are. The poor are the victims, not Read More …
PerryScope By Perry Diaz On February 9, 2013, the “Royal Army” of the Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo landed on the shores of Sabah near the village of Lahad Datu. Their mission was to reclaim their ancestral land, which they claim is rightfully owned by the Sultanate of Sulu. But the “intruders” – as the Malaysian government calls them — may have boxed themselves Read More …
