By DUCKY PAREDES MALAYA ‘We would have to choose between a Filipino family and an Asean ally. That is a no-win situation for us. Better to let them sort it out themselves – Muslim to Muslim.’ WE shouldn’t just identify Mary Grace Llamanzares as the “daughter” of Fernando Poe Jr., without any explanation. Everyone knows that Ronnie and his wife Susan Roces never had any Read More …
AS I WRECK THIS CHAIR By William M. Esposo The Philippine Star If there’s a senator who’s up for reelection this year that we should be scrutinizing very carefully — it has to be Senator Antonio Trillanes IV. His latest instigation — a senate coup against Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile (JPE) — just exploded in this plotter’s face last January 21. Determined to demonstrate Read More …

Antonio Trillanes IV in Beijing last June included his boast that he was able to “make 40 Chinese ships leave Panatag Shoal”.

PerryScope By Perry Diaz It’s bad enough when two colorful senators throw insults at one another but when it leads to an international crisis – involving the president no less – it gets ugly… very, very ugly. Yes, no less than the indomitable Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile is involved in the “word war” at one end. At the other end is the enigmatic Sen. Read More …
BY REY O. ARCILLA MALAYA ‘If Del Rosario is wondering why it was only spokesman Lacierda who said Noynoy still has confidence in him, I think it is Noynoy’s way of giving him an opportunity to exit gracefully by resigning.’ EVERYONE has been asking me the same question since last week. “When should Foreign Secretary Albert ‘Amboy’ del Rosario resign?” My reply: “Yesterday… last week, Read More …
