EDITORIAL: Stop Bullying
Bullying is often dismissed as a normal part of growing up—a rite of passage that children are expected to endure. It is not.

This was supposed to be a simultaneous nationwide school safety drill with active shooter "reenactments." Well, it was supposed to work like earthquake and fire drills—similar to the simulation scenarios that fire brigade and Red Cross volunteers undergo to prepare for actual emergency inc

The Enemy We Already Know

Most of the cases were recorded in Cararayan, Carolina and Concepcion Pequeña. The city’s general hospital has also reached full bed capacity amid the influx of dengue patients.

The Price People Pay
The incessant and unforgiving rain that lasted days has created havoc. Zambales gives us our doorway. Today, the province is again making news for all the wrong reasons. Torrential rain has swollen rivers, flooded communities and disrupted lives. But to understand what is happening now, we have to look backward. Because the province of Zambales has a long memory.
