IT is spring in the other parts of the world. A beautiful time of the year when everything is fresh and a-bloom. But while we in the Philippines only enjoy two seasons, my favorite frangipani or more popularly known as calachuchi tells me it is so when her branches start to fill with buds and its fragrance waft through my window.

You can tell it’s back to business as radio and print commentaries once more fill the air about the never-ending saga on the Mamasapano massacre. We are now entering into the second quarter of the year and we are still stuck in the same topic. It is no wonder that nothing gets done. People are still in vacay mode for the summer and by the time you know it, it is already the third quarter. But while we say we must not forget Mamasapano, we also say we must move on for there are many other things that need scrutiny.
