Ang Kababawan ng Pulitika sa Pilipinas
by Fermin Salvador.
April 1, 2013
Nitong huli ang bawat pangulo ay mas naaalala sa naging bansag na kadalasang batay sa pisikal na pekulyaridad kesa sa mga negatibo at positibong impact sa bansa sa panahon ng administrasyon nila. Binansagang “santa” si Cory na may pinagsanib na respeto at pagtuya. Si Ramos ay si “Tabako”. Si Erap ay si “Bigote” at si “Asyong Salonga” dahil sa papel na ginampanan sa pelikula. Continue reading

Pope Francis, a Jesuit Missionary with a Franciscan Touch
by Arnold De Villa
April 1, 2013
On March 3, 2013 Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio took over the leadership of the Catholic Church. It was the first time after so many centuries that a new Pope did not replace a dead one; the first time that a Pope came from the “New World” (Americas, Argentina to be exact) and the very first time that a Jesuit would finally lead the entirety of the Roman Catholic Church. This latter portion sounded like poetic justice, since the Jesuit Order was formed and founded with a special vow of obedience to the Pope at that time. Continue reading

What’s up, sequester baby?
What’s up? It’s a two-word question we often use like a knee-jerk response to a stimulus, such as a phone call from someone we have not heard from in a while, or a convenient way to strike up a conversation as you jump into a discussion between or among friends. But for a really short expression, “What’s up?” packs in a lot of possibilities for a good exchange, a half-hearted banter, serious dialogue or just a casual chat. There’s a wide range of topics and subjects you can explore as well. Continue reading
