What's hot …
ON DISTANT SHORE By Val G. Abelgas There’s definitely more than meets the eye in the sudden interest of the Aquino administration in forging a peace agreement with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front at the height of the escalating dispute between the Philippines and China over the Scarborough Shoals in the West Philippine Sea. Manila Standard’s Jojo Robles was on the right track in raising Read More …
AS I WRECK THIS CHAIR By William M. Esposo The Philippine Star Among those who have been endorsing convicted former president Joseph Estrada’s all-out war mantra, you will occasionally read the analogy being forwarded that paints President Noynoy Aquino (P-Noy) as another Neville Chamberlain of the UK. Chamberlain was British Prime Minister from 1937 to 1940. Many had faulted British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain for Read More …
Pagtanaw at Pananaw By Bert de Guzman Balita Ano ba ang pagkakaiba ng ipinatutupad na “All-Out Justice” ni President Benigno S. Aquino III sa iminumungkahi namang “All-Out War” ni dating Pangulong Joseph Estrada bukod sa SPELLING? Papaano magkakaroon ng hustisya ang mga biktima at kanilang kamag-anak, partikular sa kaso ng 19 sundalong pinaslang ng mga taksil na rebelde ng Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) kasama Read More …
PerryScope By Perry Diaz I can understand why the Aquino administration allocated P39 billion for the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) to be doled out to 2.3 million poor households. But to give P5 million to Muslim rebels and another P31 million to the dreaded Alex Boncayao Brigade is beyond reason. What is President Benigno “P-Noy” Aquino III up to? What did he plan – or Read More …
By Joyce Pangco Pañares Manila Standard Today Moro Islamic Liberation Front tells government negotiators that Dan Asnawi, blamed for the Oct. 18 attack that killed 19 soldiers, enjoys safe haven in its camps MORO rebels on Sunday said they would continue to protect a commander who led the Oct. 18 attack that killed 19 soldiers in Al-barka, Basilan, and made that clear in their talks Read More …
AS I WRECK THIS CHAIR By William M. Esposo The Philippine Star President Noynoy Aquino (P-Noy) has solid reasons for his “NO to all-out war, YES to all-out Justice” policy with regards the Basilan encounter where 19 of our soldiers and officers had perished. We simply cannot afford the cost of war – not just the financial burden but also factors like the human misery, Read More …
AS A MATTER OF FACT By Sara Soliven De Guzman The Philippine Star With the latest news reports on our past and present administrations’ peace negotiations in the south, one can’t help but wonder, “Are we buying peace?” Does it cost us P31 million to pay-off the Alex Boncayao Brigade (ABB) and P5 million to stop the MILF groups? I am very sure that there Read More …
Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow By Linggoy Alcuaz OpinYon Regular P Noy, the President, the Commander-in-Chief, the son of Hero and Martyr Ninoy and Saint Cory, is a mere dog being wagged by its tail(s). First, at noon of June 30, 2010, Noynoy, the newly elected (by a landslide) but naïve fifteenth President, reversed his freshly won mandate of May 10, 2011, by appointing his entire Read More …
GLIMPSES By Jose Ma. Montelibano The few days of almost forced rest gave me plenty of time to step back and understand better the global and local dynamics that substantially affect the Philippines. From around the world, Libya stands out as the most spectacular development of people power. Then, there is that other kind of people power, a more dramatic one, in fact, when it Read More …
COMMONSENSE By Marichu A. Villanueva The Philippine Star There is money in peace. And this emerges to be the come-on being used by the present dispensation to bring the rebels across the table to talk peace with the government. Such perceptions, rightly or wrongly, were unfortunately generated by the incompetence of certain administration officials of President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III to fully explain to the Read More …
