At the height of all the Manny Pacquaio controversery, I can’t help but to take advantage of its popularity to prove a point.
Just like what everyone else said, after Pacquaio stopped Cotto in the 12th round of their historic fight the spotlight in the Philippines wasn’t on our new record-breaking, history-making, seven-title holding champion and his [...]
Looking back at where they Started
Poll-Related Massacre
It isn’t even elections year, yet the hopefuls are hyping the elections enough to capture everyone’s attention. From their annoying campaign jingles to hearing their dubious (and sometimes ridiculous) platforms, these public-office aspirants make sure their names don’t even get forgotten with the candidates from Luzon being the most guilty ones. To them, popularity is key to success. Elsewhere however, in [...]
Remembering Ninoy’s Plight
Undoubtedly the country’s father for democracy and one of the most brilliant minds the world has ever seen, Ninoy Aquino was just a simple public servant who envisioned a better life for the Filipino. He died as a result of his defiance to the corrupt, but as the saying goes: “No bullet can kill the [...]
Malacañang Globetrotters
At a time when an energy crisis, swine flu and expensive airfares make world travel difficult, a team of globetrotters defy the odds and travel at a regular basis.
As President Arroyo reaches the twilight of her tenure as chief executive, she plans to take advantage of her remaining months by going on different trips. Most [...]
The Gonzalez Factor
The Department of Justice (DOJ) secretary successfully brings Mancao home, and has Dumlao on his way back home. That’s a double score for Raul Gonzalez. And definitely would give him plus points to the President. But the most unexpected happened, Gonzalez announces his resignation as justice secretary and plans to run for congress in his [...]
Poll Automation
The COMELEC ’s (Commission on Elections) dream of n automated election has finally come true, just yesterday actually as they formally awarded the P7.2 B contract to Smartmatic-Total Information Management Corportation. The deal may be a bargain to some regarding the amount approved earlier by Congress (P11.3 B), but what worries most is that the [...]
The Same Song with a Different Tune
After the death of the Charter Change, the Arroyo ass-kissing, opportunistic lawmakers went back to the drawing table and hatched a new idea. They wanted to fight for the same cause: cut the chains that restrain them from nurturing their greed, the Philippine Charter. That was what Cha-cha was for actually, now they’re using a [...]
Mancao’s Return
After countless attempts to get him back following the reopening of the Dacer-Corbito double murder case, former Philippine Anti-Crime Commission (PACC) agent Cesar Mancao is finally coming back to the Philippines to testify in the said case.
His return may well sound superb especially to the family of Bubby Dacer and his driver, Emmanuel Corbito, but [...]
Security Breach: First Case of Swine Flu in the Philippines
Health Secretary Francisco Duque III has just confirmed the Philippines’ first case of the dreaded Influenza A(H1N1) virus.
The victim is a ten-year old girl who just arrived with her family from the U.S. and Canada. Her identity, the hospital she is staying in and where the hospital is remains undisclosed as of press time.
The news [...]
A Sympathy Act
Talk about making a big deal out of things.
The National Bureau of Investigation have finally released the result of the investigation done on the now infamous Trina Etong Case. And as it would have obviously turned out to be, the case was ruled a suicide and not homicide or any extreme theory rumored.
And honestly, I’m [...]
