The Folly of a Bible-Quoting Politician
The recent ascendancy of Alan Peter Cayetano to the Senate presidency, replacing Tito Sotto following a coup orchestrated by the supporters of Vice President Sara Duterte, has made him perhaps too confident and overly predictable. Given his proclivity to project himself as a deeply religious person, I cannot avoid anticipating what verses from the Bible he will use in giving speeches and justifying his actions as Senate President (SP). In his speech after taking oath as the n

When Silence Becomes Too Loud
Another student is gone, and once again a community is left with the same difficult questions we have yet to learn how to answer. The details will eventually fade from headlines. Names will be replaced by updates. Reactions will be replaced by silence. But what remains — if we are honest enough to face it — is a growing pattern we keep acknowledging without truly confronting. Something is breaking in the mental landscape of the young. It is tempting to look for a single expla

Tigsik
Tigsik ko kitang mapagmahal sa pamilya, Mantang nagmamangno pa mga mahal ta. Mga gusto tang sabihon ipaabot na sa inda, Kun dai kayang personal sa social media na. Tigsik ko an mga nasa senado na daa epal, An mga Pilipino ginigibong nang mga patal. Sa indang mga drama, moro-moro garapal, An magtubod sa inda saro man mga palpal. Tigsik ko an mga opisyal nin gobyerno baga, Na sa kurapsyon imbwelto an sabi sa istorya. Karapat-apat pa daw sinda sa paggalang ta? Angay daw na apudo

EDITORIAL: Demand Accountability
As the impeachment controversy surrounding Vice President Sara Duterte deepens, the public is once again confronted with a familiar political strategy: dismiss criticism as “fake news,” attack the accusers, and divert attention from the substance of the allegations. The latest episode — the denial by lawyer-spokesman Michael Poa of rumors that the vice president allegedly threw a laptop at him in frustration — may seem trivial beside the serious accusations now confronting th

Public Service or Party Service
So, the House of Representatives has officially impeached Vice President Sara Duterte. If you notice, although, it has been all over the news for weeks now; and it’s something worth writing about, I’ve been avoiding the topic. Maybe, I dipped my feet on the issue for a while, but didn’t really soak paragraphs on it. I do understand what the congressmen and congresswomen have been fighting for. I understand the allegations of misuse of public funds, allegations of discrepa

Memories of Japan
I had no hand in planning our family vacation in Japan, a trip that brought together twenty-eight relatives - including seven children - from the Philippines, Australia, Houston, Seattle, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, to celebrate the 80th birthday of my brother-in-law. With the vacationers composed of three generations, each of us had our own distinct idea of what an ideal vacation should be. I entrusted the planning to my wife and her siblings, who meticulously mapped out the

When Respect Fades in the Senate
Ryan Mostar A recent incident inside the Senate exposed how far the institution has shifted from what it once was. A senator facing an International Criminal Court arrest warrant was reportedly pursued by law enforcement agents inside Senate premises. Senators intervened, and the situation escalated into protective custody within the chamber itself. What should have been a straightforward enforcement of legal process instead unfolded inside one of the country’s highest politi
