Sampung Kultura ng Sampung Taon ni Gloria Arroyo

Sampung Kultura ng Sampung Taon ni Gloria Arroyo

Magtatapos na ang ika-sampung taon pagkapresidente ni Gloria Arroyo, at matatag ang kanyang kulturang kontribusyon. Kakaiba ang mga ito sa karanasan ng mga kamakailang presidente ng bansa. Ito ang pinakamasahol na kulturang kontribusyon ng anumang presidente sa kagyat na kasaysayan ng bansa. Lantaran naman ang gamit ng fasismo ng anumang rehimen pero ang kay Arroyo ang naghasik ng pinakabangkaroteng kulturang tahasang ginamit para sa politikal at ekonomiyang ganansya.

Politics in 2009: Arroyo Regime Brought Philippines Deeper Into Crisis

Politics in 2009: Arroyo Regime Brought Philippines Deeper Into Crisis

Ampatuan Massacre Raises Level of Barbarity in Philippine Politics

Ampatuan Massacre Raises Level of Barbarity in Philippine Politics

By BENJIE OLIVEROS
The impunity in recent political killings in the Philippines could have emboldened the Ampatuan clan to commit the massacre. If the perpetrators of more than a thousand extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances of political activists could walk scot-free, perhaps, they thought, they could get away with killing less than a hundred people.

For Oil Firms, EO 839 Is Not Just About Dip in Profits but Potential Shift Vs. Deregulation

For Oil Firms, EO 839 Is Not Just About Dip in Profits but Potential Shift Vs. Deregulation

By ARNOLD PADILLA
To a certain degree, Executive Order 839 questioned the lies long peddled by the oil companies and staunch defenders of neoliberalism about neoliberal free market economics. If left unchallenged, EO 839 could become a precedent in policy making: that the government, in the name of public good and welfare, could take decisive action against abusive corporations.
