We, the people, are in a crisis of irrelevancy.As BYSTANDER hinted at the creeping irrelevance of the legal professionin this country, so too we, the people are increasingly reduced to apolitical irrelevance.Assuming a psychology of absolute impunity, the power elite has decided to lift Proclamation 1017 as if they have in fact a moral basis for making the declaration in the first place. Indeed,

MRS. PRESIDENT, WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE COUNTRY? The DOJ filed coup d'etat charges against former Senator Greg Honasan for his alleged involvement in the failed Oakwood Mutiny, which happened two years ago.Anakpawis Representative Crispin Beltran was arrested by the CIDG on the strength of a Warrant of Arrest issued in 1985! And government plans to charge him with inciting to sedition with no

Defiance in the face of arrogance.The Arroyo administration was on a verge of self-destruction friday when it decided to yield to its lust for emergency power.Again, it blamed everybody but itself for all that ails Philippine society. She had, indeed, little choice in this shame game she herself authored when she decided not to heed the people's call for her to resign. Now she only has wolves for

LAST year, there was reason to hope for a creative fix out of the quagmire we're in.This time, people are just tired. They're just waiting. Waiting. Waiting for something to happen. Waiting for hope. Waiting to take their cue to act.Some people I know, of course, would rather cling to the pathetic status quo, allowing their otherwise brilliant minds, to be duped with government propaganda.As for

Wow! Pre-new year's fireworks display! Now, Ramos is really talking! Read all about it in the Inquirer!Ramos said he had received minutes of the con-com's discussions until December 12. Apparently that was when the con-com has yet to take flights of fancy to propose a NO-EL and term limit extenders. But something mysterious happened within the last 12 hours after Tabako received his last report

Ramos is worried that federalism "could lead some regions to secede". I'm sorry but this worry betrays his utter lack of vision and leadership. His distrust for the people in the regions surely must make them want to secede from Manila as soon as The Ramos Parliament is in place.Abs-cbn quoted Tabako as saying. . .."We are a country of thousands of islands. We must first strengthen our

One in three Filipinos want to migrate to another country if they had the chance. This was confirmed by the recently released Pulse Asia survey published in INQ7. And this, I believe, is not a case of brain drain but a sign that at least 1 in 3 Filipinos are ready for a radical social change if a true visionary leader will just assume the task of leading this so-called nation despite the legion

A very angry Bro. Eli Soriano finally announced what we in the Church of God International (a.k.a Ang Dating Daan or ADD) have long been waitingto hear. We will all definitely march to Malacanang! This is to peaceably address ourgrievances regarding the persecutions our religious group have been receiving from the Gloria Arroyo government.The only thing that would make bro Eli backtrack from this

It's been seven days since I was last online and the world was so much different then. I took a 5-day leave from work in preparation for our religious congregation's 2-day National Thanksgiving Celebrations in Apalit, Pampanga and to help out my wife in reviewing the kids for their major exams at school. Seven days ago people were talking that Martial Law was about to be declared. Now they say

Whether we like it or not, our generation lives under the shadows of Ferdinand Marcos and his Martial Law. As a people we pledged to "never again" allow for a return of the likes of him in the political landscape or, failing in that, to remove him/her in office before he/she gets a chance bring us back in that dark era. Our actions today are judged to the degree that we conform or digress against

I am no fan of the vice president except when he was still in the news anchoring business. In my opinion, he was the best Pinoy TV news anchor of his time, if not for all time. He could cry or laugh or mumble or get lost in the middle of a spiel without ever losing face. His was a perfect sense of live broadcast timing that if ever there would be someone to be crowned as king of the "pregnant
