There is a concerted effort by the media and cyberspace kibitzers to drive a wedge between the President and the Bishops by summoning even an archaic constitutional doctrine of “separation between the church and state.” But they are bound to fail. Simeon Benigno Aquino, is a church’s poster boy who is much willing to accommodate…
I watched with great discomfort the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee hearing yesterday looking into the “money-trail” of General Jacinto Ligot and his wife, Erlinda and after about an hour of fruitless reel, I was rigid with stiff neck in a half-recumbent posture on a couch, but somehow I have managed to draw a conclusion that…
Ermita, the Novel is about the beautiful prostitute Maria Ermita, born to a rich aristocratic maiden, Conchita, of Spanish lineage, raped (the mother) by a Japanese soldier at the twilight of Japanese occupation of Manila, just before the American “liberated the city”. It is not coincidental that she was named Ermita the world “cheapest fuck”…
I watched the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee last night conducting a hearing on the grand thief by the army’s top brass and I was appalled by the galling conduct the generals played hide and seek of the millions of dollars and pesos they purloined from government contractors to the prejudice of the treasury.

The body of Angelo T. Reyes was interred today at the “Libingan ng Mga Bayani” with full military honors, while the mainstream media had tried to pillory and villify his tormentors, Senator Antonio Trillanes and Col.

I was for Senator Noynoy Aquino, though I am in America and during his campaign I have twice remitted small amount of money through his Yellow and Honest Movement, Inc. Noynoy and his teammate Sen.
