Since I do not take calls from strangers (callers with no names), please text first before calling.

For a country where many do not know their real Read More …
By Ellen Tordesillas Malaya It’s good that Grace Poe, daughter of the late Fernando Poe, Jr and Susan Roces, brought up the issue of cheating during the 2004 elections in Cebu in the meeting of Team PNoy in that province last Wednesday. The people should be reminded of that again and again because no one has been punished for that crime against the Filipino electorate. Read More …

Making life worth living By Ellen Toredesillas Lozada’s friends wonder if Aquino’s attitude could have something to do with Lozada not consenting to his request in February 2008 for him (Aquino, who was then senator) to fetch the former in Hongkong, where he was told by then Environment Secretary Lito Atienza to hide so he could not testify in the Senate investigation of the NBN/ZTE Read More …
Making life worth living By Ellen Tordesillas For Rodolfo “Jun” Lozada, star witness in NBN/ZTE deal, one of the biggest scandals in the Arroyo administration, it’s like he and his family are back to where they were exactly five years ago when he was abducted by police officers and he had to seek refuge with the nuns.

Abelgas There is no doubt that the Philippines has achieved phenomenal economic growth in the past year that even Gloria Macapagal Arroyo had to acknowledge that her successor and former economics student, President Benigno S.
