THE devastating debris flow along the Nepal-Tibet border should not be viewed by the Philippines merely as another tragic disaster happening in a distant country. It should be treated as a warning. A wall of mud, rocks, gravel and water can move with the force and consistency of wet concrete, sweeping away everything in its path. In Nepal, the disaster has already claimed hundreds of lives and left many more missing. But what should concern Filipinos most is the revelation th

Hey, this fits just right. Do you have kids? Younger brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, or grandchildren still in school? This academic year, the DepEd implemented a major shift: a three-term calendar replacing the traditional four quarters. Integrated into this system are dedicated end-of-term blocks intended for student remediation, extracurricular activities, and rest. The first end-of-term block runs from September 1 to 18, meaning students have no regular classes during

An pag e-notarize kan dokumento dae nangangahulugan na mapirma ka sana nin PDF asin ipadara sa notary public sa Messenger o email. An e-notarization iyo an pagnotaryo nin electronic document gamit an sarong application o software na inaapod na Electronic Notarization Facility o ENF. An ENF dapat accredited kan Supreme Court bago ini puwedeng gamiton para sa e-notarization. Kun client ka, an mga involved sa dokumento—an mga principal asin witnesses, kun igwa—dapat maggibo nin

When the flood comes, prepare yourself. Keep an emergency kit. Know where to evacuate. Protect your children. Have a family plan. All sensible advice. But when a government official tells flood victims to build a second floor because the government cannot shoulder the cost, preparedness begins to sound like something else: “You are on your own.” That is the uncomfortable message behind some of the statements coming from flood-hit areas of Luzon. In Rodriguez, Rizal, Mayor Ron

Excited ako tuwing may tinatanong si Senador Robin Padilla sa impeachment hearing dahil hindi ko alam kung ano ang sasabihin o itatanong niya. Kung minsan natutuwa ako sa mga tanong o sinasabi niya. Kung minsan naman ako ay napapaisip at namamangha kung paano siyang mag-isip. Sa totoo lang, na-mimiss ko siya pag-absent sa impeachment hearing dahil iba siyang mag-isip kung ihahambing sa ibang senador-judges. Isip talangka, sabi ng iba. Minsan tinawag niyang “one-sided” ang pro

Sa mga nakaaging istoria ko, nasabi ko na kadto na ang enot kong trabaho pakagraduar college sa Cabiao, Nueva Ecija sa sarong permaculture farm.

How many times have we heard the words “Objection, Your Honor” in the past few weeks? So many times that they have almost become part of our everyday vocabulary. For once, our political language sounds almost civilized. After years when words like “tang ina” (damn you / a vulgar curse) and “patayin ta ka” (I’ll kill you) were thrown around so casually that even children could recognize them, the impeachment proceedings of Vice President Sara Duterte have introduced a differen

Ni: Ryan Mostar An imahen kan Divino Rostro, o Holy Face of Jesus, pinapahiling si Santa Veronica, na may kapot na puting belo na may nakatatak na mukha ni Hesus. Ini an belo na ginamit ni Veronica sa pagpahid sa mukha ni Hesus mantang paduman Siya sa Kalbaryo. Si Veronica iyo an babae na narahay an helang sa pagduta sa gilid kan gubing ni Hesus. Saro man siya sa mga kadaklan na nag-ako ki Hesus kan Domingo de Ramos. Nakakabit an imahen sa sarong silver frame, na an ibabaw ma

Tigsik ko an pagselebrar kaining kapiyestahan, Sarong pag-iidolo, pagsamba sa diyusdiyusan. Sabi sa Biblia an dapat sambahon an Kaglalang, Kaya nungka tang sambahon ining mga nilalang.

THE recent school shootings in Tacloban and Zamboanga should force the country to confront an uncomfortable truth: keeping children safe can no longer be treated as the sole responsibility of parents, teachers or school administrators. The warning from Senator Risa Hontiveros is timely. Preventing another school shooting requires a multi-faceted response because the factors behind such violence are no longer confined to the physical spaces where the incidents occur. They can

We should be talking about the more important things—like understanding why and how adolescents access arms during academic hours with the intent to inflict injury and death, and how we can prevent this vile violence from occurring again. Instead, the focus has turned to pushing back against controversial comments declared on the sidelines. I understand—it’s disrespectful, offensive, in bad taste, and inappropriate. It was not the right time for such an opinion. I understand

The impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte has reached an interesting stage. If we were keeping score purely on evidence, I would give the prosecution the lead: 65%–35%. But impeachment is not fought on one scoreboard. Inside the chamber, the prosecution is constructing a case around confidential funds, financial transactions, witness testimony and Duterte’s own recorded words. What began as a collection of allegations is becoming a more interconnected evidentiary n

“Maximum tolerance.” It is a phrase we often hear when police deal with people who are unruly, emotionally distressed, or apparently experiencing a mental-health crisis. But what happens when maximum tolerance meets a bolo? That question became painfully real in San Jose, Camarines Sur, on August 22, when police responded to a report of an armed man running amok in Barangay Calalahan. Police Staff Sergeant Noli Miraña and his fellow officers initially tried to communicate wit
