Waiting for a Mandela
|
|
One of the joys of being alive in our century of global

That knowledge gives strength to our hopes that someday, God
willing, our piece of this earth that we call our country and love
so much no matter how awful life has become on it would also be led
by someone great, unselfish, noble and patriotic.
One such person is Mr. Nelson Mandela who turned
90 on July 18.
The former political prisoner turned world
leader is a hero not just of South Africa and the whole continent of
Africa but of mankind.

vexing Mindanao
|
|
The brain-dead can only dispense with brain-dead policies. And
whoever advised Agriculture Secretary Arthur Yap to issue that
hare-brained directive that opens up cara-beef imports surely has no
agenda other than sabotage the chances of Yap to move from the
cabinet into the senate.

Wake up call for Filipinos
|
|
I arrived in Manila to intern with EnGendeRights, a women’s legal

Population issue the nth time
|
|
Sorry if I have to bring up this issue again.
I’m actually tired to death talking about it. But there are just
some people, even senators and others who tout themselves to having
