If we simply remove our blinders, put in place by our prejudices and unhealthy loyalties, we will Read More …
GLIMPSES By Jose Ma. Montelibano Tony Meloto and Luis Oquinena with Skoll Board member Kirk Hanson [Credit: Gawad Kalinga I thought that England would have cheaper gas prices. The past two days as a visitor in London, however, has taught me that oil producing countries do not always subsidize what their people consume. Gas here is P100 per liter and they have British Petroleum! I Read More …
GLIMPSES By Jose Ma. Montelibano I am not sure anymore about the latest death count and the numbers of the still missing from the destructive Typhoon Sendong.

And Typhoon Sendong did come Read More …
GLIMPSES By Jose Ma. Montelibano If there is a God, then He will bring disaster after disaster to the Philippines. He will have little choice but to do it. It remains the gentler way through which He can trigger change, much kinder than war and violence for the same purpose. I accompanied the Gawad Kalinga leadership to Cagayan de Oro and iligan Cily the other Read More …
By Joanne Rae Ramirez The Philippine Star MANILA, Philippines – A foundation created by the president of eBay has cited the Philippines’ Gawad Kalinga (GK) for its sustained efforts to end poverty, funneling $1.15 million (P50.6 million) into the organization. The Skoll Foundation, established by eBay founder and president Jeff Skoll in 1999 to help the world’s “change agents,” has cited GK for its social Read More …
By Tony Meloto (This is my continuing journey of hope for the world to see the Philippines as the next miracle of Asia and for our people to discover the awesome gift from God and the amazing privilege of being Filipino today.) A walk through the village of the English bard in Stratford inspired this piece. Shakespeare is as relevant today as he was during Read More …
GLIMPSES By Jose Ma, Montelibano What a first few days in New York this has been! Doing my regular rounds in the United States in a continuing journey of discovery and engagement remains simply exciting in many ways.
