What's hot …
BY REY O. ARCILLA MALAYA ‘Noynoy’s “daang matuwid” now has several potholes, “bako-bako” in Pilipino.’ I WONDER if President Noynoy Aquino realizes that his failure to send back our ships, for whatever reason, to Scarborough Shoal is tantamount to giving up our territory by default. Possession is nine-tenths ownership, remember? The Chinese are still there. According to reports, they have even put in place nets Read More …
GLIMPSES By Jose Ma. Montelibano Without a doubt, the SONA of P-Noy can go down in Philippine history as one of the best. It is less the good report that was presented than the fact that a full-fledged report was submitted to his boss – the people of the Philippines. I hope that the TV stations thatcover SONAs continue to keep in their archives the Read More …
BY DUCKY PAREDES MALAYA ‘We lived through an invasion by Japan in World War II that showed up a lot of our politicians as eventually supporters of the Japanese Imperial forces. Didn’t we learn anything from that wartime experience?’ MOST reactions to the longest SONA have been positive such as this one from Senator Loren Legarda, up for re-election this year: “The SONA was a Read More …
AS I WRECK THIS CHAIR By William M. Esposo The Philippine Star The third SONA (State of the Nation Address) of President Noynoy Aquino (P-Noy) was aptly bannered as “Report kay Boss (Report to the Boss)” by the PTV Network. It was crafted and delivered in a language that ensured that it will be appreciated and understood by the Filipino people, the bosses of P-Noy. Read More …
By Aurea Calica The Philippine Star MANILA, Philippines – President Aquino delivered his third annual report to the nation yesterday, telling his “bosses” the people that significant changes have been achieved “because in unity nothing is impossible.” In his State of the Nation Address (SONA), delivered in Filipino and which lasted for about one-and-a-half hours, the President also assured the people that the fight Read More …
AS I WRECK THIS CHAIR By William M. Esposo The Philippine Star If President Noynoy Aquino (P-Noy) had a bad reputation for lying — like someone we know — one might be tempted to say that his third SONA (State of the Nation Address) was a snow job. It gave that impression because very rarely did we ever hear such progress being made, especially coming Read More …
By Edwin D. Bael Fellow Filipinos, in his SONA yesterday, our President reaffirmed: we are the bosses. Indeed, we are! So, what do we say? Here’s a recommendation: “I will listen for what God, the LORD, has to say; surely he will speak of peace to his people and to his faithful. May they not turn to foolishness! Near indeed is his salvation for those Read More …
By Delon Porcalla The Philippine Star MANILA, Philippines – President Aquino’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) will have no bangkang papel (paper boats). Speaking to reporters, presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda yesterday said: “I can describe to you what it will not be, there will be no bangkang papel boys,” referring to the “paper boat boys” used by former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in a past Read More …
Vantage Point By Luis V. Teodoro BusinessWorld The Roman emperor Nero was supposed to have fiddled while ancient Rome burned for nine days. But if he did play any instrument at all while much of the city was destroyed, he would have picked at a lute or a lyre, the fiddle, or violin, not having been invented until some 1,500 years after his reign. In Read More …
COMMONSENSE By Marichu A. Villanueva The Philippine Star On July 25 this year, President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III declared in his State of the Nation Address (SONA) at the opening of the second regular session of the 15th Congress that “what is in the Philippines is for the Philippines.” Of course, President Aquino was specifically talking about our territorial claims over the chain of islands, Read More …
