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. Tigsik ko mga kalamidad, trahedya na padagos, Anggot na, pigpapakol kita kan Mahal na Diyos Siya an nagtatao sa tuya kan kaipuhan ta gabos, Alagad mga rebulto, hinahadukan, pighahapros Tigsik ko pa ining mga bagyong maabot ngapit, Sa mga kahimanwa dagdag naman na pasakit. Orog sa harababang lug

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

By Fr. Roy Cimagala THIS is the lesson hidden in Christ’s command to his disciples: “Watch therefore, because you do not know what hour your Lord will come.” (cf. Mt 24:42-51) It is one of those simple sayings that become more mysterious the longer one reflects upon them. We sleep not because night has conquered us, but because we have forgotten that dawn is always approaching. Watchfulness is not reserved for days of sorrow or moments of extraordinary danger. It is just as n

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

Ni: Ryan Mostar An confidential fund iyo an pondo para sa surveillance activities kan civilian government agencies na konektado sa mandato o operasyon ninda. Iba ini sa intelligence fund, na ginagamit para sa intelligence information-gathering na may direktang epekto sa national security. Maski confidential an apod, dai ini exempted sa accountability. Sakop pa man giraray ini kan mga patakaran sa paggamit, reporting, accounting asin auditing kan gobyerno. Puwedeng sikreto o c

THE unusually candid exchange between Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla and DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon has exposed a problem that goes beyond one poorly designed building or a delayed government project: the persistent question of whether the government is getting the quality it deserves for billions of pesos in public funds. Remulla’s criticism was blunt. He questioned why some government buildings appear to take years to complete, why their designs fall short of expectations,

And I thought it had died down. Just when it seemed the alarming wave of campus violence had finally subsided, the tragic shooting at Ateneo de Zamboanga proved the trend had merely taken a brief hiatus before returning as an escalated sequel. The 14-year-old gunman arrived equipped with a secondary rifle alongside his primary handgun, raising chilling questions about his true intentions. Was he anticipating a prolonged exchange of gunfire with responding law enforcement, or

My grandson Lyme was hesistant to run. He was hesitant when his teachers suggested that he run for Grade 5 representative. Lyme is nine, a high achiever and always among the top of his class. He is also a basketball player—and a good one at that. He is tall for his age, already almost my height at 5’6”, much to the amusement of his petite supermom. But being good at school and basketball does not necessarily mean you want to stand in front of your classmates and lead them.His

We have barely had time to recover from one school shooting before another has forced us to confront the same disturbing question. In June, three students were killed and 20 others injured when two students allegedly opened fire at San Jose National High School in Tacloban City. On August 18, another school shooting occurred—this time at Ateneo de Zamboanga University Junior High School. A student was killed, two others were reportedly injured, and the suspected shooter also
