Balik-Tanaw | Palm Sunday of the Lord’s passion
It’s Holy Week, a moment of reflection, getting together, family and friends bonding moment, a break from hectic days, or a celebration from heydays. Wherever we are, I assume that we pray and reflect on these days apart from gallivanting and jubilating.
‘Unwise and rash’ move to ‘disengage’ from ICC
We don’t have a next move, that is the extent of our involvement with the ICC. That ends all our involvement with the ICC. Because we will no longer appeal, the appeal has failed and there is, in our view, nothing more that we can do in the government and so at this point we essentially are disengaging from any contact, from any communication with the ICC.”
At Ground Level | US military bases are back, via EDCA
This week, the United States and the Philippine militaries – with enthusiastic support from Ferdinand Marcos Jr. – kick-started the implementation of the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA), the 2014 bilateral executive accord which had been delayed for eight years.

Balik-Tanaw | Journeying with the Magi
Sometimes it is called The Three Kings or the Visit of the Magi. This feast is familiar to us. It conjures up colorful pictures of a journey, a search, with only a star as a guide. It is placed in the liturgical cycle to deepen and broaden an understanding of incarnation. The chosen Scripture texts are inspirational as they open us up to the needs of the world, and the wisdom of nature.
Balik-Tanaw | The revealing of God through Christ and through us
In a moment, anytime today we will be hearing loud bangs and celebrations coming across the world as we close this year’s chapter. A few days ago, we were also delighted at how we joyously celebrated Christmas Day and how we also stood in solidarity with those who were unable to do so because of the many struggles they were facing.

The move to reduce GE courses down to 21 units or even just the idea of shaping our GE after the requisites of ASEAN, K-12-- entities that facilitate the tyranny of the free market despite its crisis is a challenge to critical thinking and a symptom of its erosion.

Patay na ang Contractual King pero patuloy ang legasiya ng sistemang kontraktwal sa loob ng SM. 99% ng kanilang mga manggagawa ay contractual kaya mas dapat i-expose ang kabulukan ng sistemang ito.

Aquino’s presidency is deadliest for environmentalists

2015: Victories and challenges, inspiration and optimism
The year that was, 2015, was replete with historic moments full of victories and challenges for the environmental movement. It holds lessons and inspirations that can serve as a compass through the trials that must be hurdled in 2016.
At COP21, the people and future generations will be failed once again
Instead of providing solutions, COP21 has negotiated a future that is still on path to heating Earth from 3 to 7 degrees Celsius (°C) within this century.

Nakakailang palit ka ba ng damit mula umaga hanggang hapon? Hindi lang ba isa kundi tatlong bentilador ang ginagamit para hindi masyadong pawisan? Pagkatapos mag-almusal o mananghalian, kinukuha na ba ang tuwalya bago pumunta sa banyo? Pangalawa o pangatlong beses mo na bang maligo sa araw na ito?

Kung tutuusin, ang konsepto ng pamilyang minamahal ay hindi lang ang mga kadugo dahil kasama rin ang mga kaibigan, kamag-anak, kapit-bahay at iba pang kakilala.
Babae
Ginagamit ang termino sa wikang Ingles na “double burden” para ilarawan ang kalunos-lunos na pinagdaraanan ng mga babae, lalo na ang mahihirap. Nagiging doble ‘di umano ang pasanin dahil sa pagiging manggagawang babae at pagiging “housewife.” Pero mas akma ang terminong “multiple burden.”

Choose: Filipino or Filipinx?
To legitimize Filipinx as gender-neutral is to efface and silence Filipino as gender-neutral.
A problematic science behind COVID-19 vaccines
Our country, with the myriad of problems in our healthcare system even before the pandemic, is simply not equipped to adequately deal with the possible harmful effects of these clinical trials on its Filipino participants. Alongside the questionable small-scale trials of the vaccine leading up to this point and the speed at which these trials were conducted (vaccines typically take years to develop), we have all the reasons not to participate, yet here we are, once again knocking on the door of quite probably another bad decision.
State of abandonment, state of terror
Looking at history, one can say that state abandonment is very much the official disposition on which the labor export system is hinged. The Philippine government is fundamentally inclined to function simply as what sociologist Robyn Rodriguez calls a “labor brokerage state,” an institutional apparatus that facilitates Filipinos’ outward labor traffic.

Ang ating buhay ay hindi dapat ginu-Google kundi ginugugol sa isang dakilang layunin. Madaling sabihin subalit mahirap gawin dahil sa totoo lang, napakalakas ng hatak ng indibidwalistang pantasya at makasariling konsepto ng pagmamahal sa bayan.
How I survived anti-Left academics and became an activist
I was prepared to be disappointed with NatDem politics but instead, I became more immersed in their mass campaigns. I was overwhelmed with several political realizations: Here was a movement making democracy work through collective leadership, here was a political force whose strength is linked to the empowerment of its members in the grassroots, here was history claiming the present to build a new future.
My first five years as a full-time activist
It is methodical, thorough, repetitive, but never dull. That’s why those who lampoon the mundaneness of rallies are either clueless commenters, misinformed keyboard analysts, or apologists of the state.
