Bag-ong tuig nga puno sa kadasig sa dugang pang pag-asdang sa pakigbisog sa katawhang Pilipino alang sa demokrasya ng tinuod nga kalingkawasan. Madasigong 2003!

Every New Year opens chances to make better where we did good and failed the previous year. Let 2003 be a year of continued service to the people in our quest for peace and social justice.

*              *                *

The year that passed still has its relevance in the coming year. It should not be seen as a disjointed chain in society’s social and political development process. Even more so in one’s individual growth in the crucible of social practice – in struggle for meaningful social change. In this, we count on Bulatlat.com’s relevant and timely input. Sulong! Padayon!

Millions of flowers blossom in the fields, hills, & seas because we never stop dreaming for a liberating year full of hope, full of life! Happy New Year!
