GLIMPSES By Jose Ma. Montelibano I am in the middle of a late night drive from Santa Clara to Long Beach, from Northern to Southern California, a full six hours without stopping.

AS I WRECK THIS CHAIR By William M. Esposo The Philippine Star Where’s Jesus Christ? How come there’s hardly Christ that’s reflected in the behavior of people who call themselves Christians, most of them Roman Catholics?

GLIMPSES By Jose Ma. Montelibano After one long month visiting the United States and Canada, it is so good to be home. No doubt, there are modernities and opportunities that only developed countries can give. No doubt, traveling in countries with vast lands, with lakes where the whole Philippines can fit, can be quite alluring. And staying in cities like San Diego, Los Angeles, San Read More …
GLIMPSES By Jose Ma.Montelibano It is difficult not to be optimistic about the future of our country. In fact, one would have to be totally blind, totally prejudiced, totally compromised, or simply too emotionally constipated not to be optimistic. Optimism does not remove the problems, but makes it easier to do so. Optimism does not paint a bright future but makes it attractive to have Read More …
