Since first reading Conrado de Quiros' excellently written Noynoy for President column (and his "Two More"), I became excited over the possibility of renewing my voter's credentials just so I can vote for Noynoy Aquino. I even immediately campaigned for him with my facebook friends, especially former high school classmates, whom I realized share my enthusiasm. Doing my own discernment over the

While I may condole with Iglesia ni Cristo friends and foes who mourn the loss of a man they deeply respect, I just can't get my mind off the faces of politicians who just can't miss being where the action is. Damning their best to become the epitome of grief, the rest of the Filipino nation knows all to well why they are there. While them politicians grieve the passing of Eraño, they feel they

The Moral Force Movement launched last Monday by Chief Justice Reynato Puno has caught the attention of the Filipino public hungering for moral renewal.  Highlighting the Moral Force Movement’s avowed mission, Puno called on the people “not to elect anyone who bribes, cheats, lies nor [to tolerate] anyone who does.” Volunteerism was his battle cry and thus enjoined every concernmed citizen to “.

Philippine Senator Manuel “Mar” Roxas is no longer seeking the presidency in 2010. In a packed press conference at Club Filipino yesterday, Senator Manuel Roxas announced he was giving way to the candidacy of Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III. Roxas admit it was the “most difficult” decision he had to make in his entire life and noted he did it to preserve unity of the Liberal Party and the country.

Cory Aquino's Funaral, August 2009. By Voltaire F. Domingoof NPPA ImagesI was twelve years old when the People Power revolution happened in 1986 and distinctly remember how it felt to hear on TV that, at last, the impossible was happening. Ferdinand Marcos has left Malacañang!It was way past my bedtime when I heard a teary-eyed Orly Punzalan announced on TV, "umalis na ang demonyo!", translated

And depending on who you ask, Gloria either did clearly say goodbye or else just mentioned the fact that her term expires in 2010. Judging from the stockmarket barometer, I knew nothing sinister was about to happen yesterday at the Batasan (although

The Manilan's general tendency mimicry other people’s accent (when they try to speak Tagalog) could not be called racism. Believe me it's just a a form of humor, albeit a lame one, and those whose feelings get offended don’t find it funny. If it were pure and simple racism, then they would not mimic the accent of their own kind, the provincial Tagalogs but they do. Batanguenos have more of their

The global meltdown, or rumors of a US-triggered global economic meltdown, is easily the hottest selling item these days. Some, like George W. Bush, peddle the notion as if he's proud it happened during his watch. Some well meaninged contrarians equally profit by peddling optimism down people's throat saying, hey, the sky is not falling.Having lived long enough to know that reality is often

I was saddened yesterday upon reading this article posted on Inquirer.net, this despicable excuse for journalism:"Ely Soriano charged with falsification of public document"By Allison Lopez Philippine Daily Inquirer First Posted 18:57:00 08/29/2008The title alone is a dead giveaway hint to the writer's incompetence at gathering information; he misspelled the nickname of a

The PDI’s Second Front Page today has got me excited. It reads: “RP Corruption Worst in East Asia”. Of course the news was upsetting but it was no news at all to millions of Filipinos, it’s common knowledge. What got me excited was upon reading the line that says the Philippines is at the “bottom of East Asia’s ten largest economies”. I say that is news. Yes, this labor exporting country is among
