Tagilid na Daga
Mainit pa man giraray ang mga aldaw alagad nagpopoon naman magtaga uran-uran, kundi matipid pa ang bulos ta bako pa ining bastante para magkaigwang epekto sa mga tanuman. Kan Abril, naglaog kita 7.2% inflation rate, luminangkaw hale sa 4.2% kan Marso. Ang kombinasyon nin mainit na panahon asin mahal na barakalon naresulta kadaklan na beses sa malaen na temperamente kan mga tao, lalo na sa kulang ang budget. May nagkakapirang rason kung tano uminabot siete porciento ang satong

The Price of Happiness
Kaogma, we are told, means happiness. And who among us is against happiness? Filipinos practically manufacture it under impossible conditions. We find reasons to smile during typhoons, laugh during blackouts, and turn inconveniences into jokes before they turn us into emotional wrecks. Happiness is not the problem. The question is: how much should happiness cost? Reports and public discussions surrounding this year's Kaogma Festival have raised eyebrows over the reported scal

Atty., haloy nang nawawara an dati kong agom asin nakakua na ako nin court order na nagdedeklarar na siya ay presumptively dead. Pano kung bigla siya magbalik, ano po an epekto kani sa pangduwa kong kasal? ----- Sa irarom kan batas, puwedeng magkaigwa nin Affidavit of Reappearance — sarong sinumpaang pahayag na nagpapatunay na buhay pa asin nagbalik an dati mong agom.

Ni: Ryan Mostar An Kaogma Festival dai nagpoon bilang an dakulang konsyerto na pangyayari na aram kan mga tawo ngunyan. Nagpoon ini bilang sarong mas sadit na selebrasyon kan 1989, na enot na nagmarka kan anibersaryo kan pagmukna kan probinsya, dangan luway-luway na naghiwas sa sarong kapiyestahan na may mga parada, isports, pageant, asin darakulang konsyerto.

Tigsik
Tigsik ko an mga nangyayari na sa ngunyan, Pano na baga nin kararatan digdi sa kinaban. Sa mga nangyayari, mga tawo pinatatanidan, An dai magbarago sa kalayo mapapaduman.

EDITORIAL: Impunity Rising
When institutions meant to uphold the law are perceived as shields against it, public trust erodes—not in dramatic bursts, but in a slow, corrosive drift. The recent protest staged by the Philippine Alliance of Human Rights Advocates outside the Senate captures a growing unease: that accountability in the Philippines is becoming negotiable, contingent on power rather than principle. At the center of the controversy is Senator Ronald dela Rosa, who reportedly sought refuge wit

Rotating Brownouts and Frustrating Burnouts
One afternoon, we went inside a restaurant that serves good Italian food. Instead of taking our orders, the kind waitress told us that at around 4 pm, there would be a power outage, and we might want to consider leaving. What on earth? I’m not sure if it was due to hunger or some weird sense of human rights that drove us to insist to still take our meals. Some pasta and pizza later, no brownout bothered us. To the server’s credit, there really were two-hour brownouts in

The Senate at a Crossroads: A Senior Citizen’s Lament for a Lost Institution
I write this not as a political strategist, nor as a partisan defender of any camp, but as a Filipino in his eighties who has lived long enough to remember a Senate that inspired respect. I have witnessed generations of senators rise to defend principles larger than themselves. I have seen debates marked by intellectual rigor, patriotism, and a profound sense of duty to the Republic. That is why watching what is happening in the Senate today fills me not only with disappointm

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
