On The Fringes | Mentally surviving the rotten healthcare system

I spent more hours in the waiting area than in my consultations. Most of my conversations with the doctor took only 15 to 30 minutes.

Truth be Told (Again) | To make a dictator (un)necessary

On September 23, 1972, the day Martial Law was announced, Ferdinand Marcos was certain — or, at the very least, he was determined to sound like it.

Philippines growth leads in Asean but downside risks remain

Back to the World Bank, the multilateral lending institution surmised that with the rapid spread of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, the pandemic would likely continue to disrupt economic activity in the near term. Besides this prospect, it warned that the notable slowing down in major economies – including the United States and China, the two largest – would adversely affect external demand (exports) in emerging and developing economies.

Challenges to terror law will continue before SC

Practically all the petitioners and their lawyers who have spoken up welcomed these two rulings. However, they found these inadequate, arguing that other provisions that would similarly curtail civil and political rights should be declared unconstitutional as well.

On heroism and the duty to stand up vs tyranny

“The ugly head of tyranny, lies and deceit has raised itself in the most difficult of times as we find ourselves in a pandemic of massive disinformation and historical distortion never seen before in Philippine political history.” Historical distortion, he stressed, “must be confronted with historical truth.

She banged the walls of a court dominated by men of power and influence. She raised her voice so loudly that they could do nothing to make her quiet.

Balik-Tanaw | The Transforming Mission of God

Despite being scared, we must continue our mission towards a world with no violence, a world where peace and justice reigns. This should be our motivation, being followers of Christ. In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples. (Luke 14:33).

Balik-Tanaw | A banquet fellowship

EDCA: An environmental hazard and toxic threat to the PH

How can you call someone a friend or an ally when they have stubbornly refused to pay their debts, clean up the mess they made in your own home, and suffer from selective amnesia when it comes to owning up to their transgressions?
