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.

Actions urged to follow Duterte’s speech at UN
But over the years, Duterte has attacked human rights advocacy groups as “enemies of the state,” also church leaders, priests, pastors and nuns. He even berated the Commission on Human Rights (a constitutional body) for criticizing certain policies or pronouncements of his government. He talked (confusedly or maliciously) of “detractors pass(ing) themselves off as human rights advocates while preying on the most vulnerable humans: even using children as soldiers or human shields in [armed] encounters.”

PROMOTION OF CHURCH PEOPLE’S RESPONSE
Balik-Tanaw | Make the winding roads straight
This Second Sunday of Advent we are admonished to have a second look at how we understand what it means to repent.
Balik-Tanaw | Be prepared
As Filipino citizens, we have both the ability and responsibility to remind, denounce and help our leaders understand the adverse effects of injustice, oppression, marginalization and the causes of poverty and hunger and the act to eliminate them.
Balik-Tanaw | By the power of love, we command
Let us command, not beg. Let us make love our collective political capital to stand up against the enormous political power that has been the cause of our struggles in life. Jesus’ command to love God and to love our neighbors is our primary source of strength and inspiration.

What Newsbreak Failed to Report About the ‘Morong 5’
As a journalist who has been covering the Morong 43 from the day of their arrest, I know that the five, like the rest of the 43 health workers, are victims of torture and ill-treatment.
‘Wake-Up Call’ for Abusive Mining Companies in the Philippines
Abuses by mining companies are not new in the Philippines. Destructive mining have, for decades and in tandem with wanton logging and the equally destructive building of dams, destroyed and poisoned whole communities. Mining companies have been shortchanging these communities. Worse, these firms have been using the police, the military and paramilitary units as their security guards, leading to human-rights abuses such as those suffered by the Ifugaos in Nueva Vizcaya.
An Activist Looks Back on Edsa 2
We were young, full of energy and were willing to do anything to contribute toward change.
“Sampung taon na pala iyon?” I told Sally, and laughed. “Naramdaman mo bang tumanda tayo ng sampung taon?” I added. We went on sharing memories, those moments when we held meetings until the wee hours of the night at the Anakbayan headquarters on P. Noval in Sampaloc, Manila; the allies we encountered during the campaign; all the “gimmicks” we devised to oust Estrada and even the times when we skipped meals because we had no money; and many more.
