Mr. Isidro Ramos,
Does it matter if we buy our goods with a few dollars or a bagful?
I remember getting paid only 50 during the 70's but could buy a Toyota Celica for 4,000. Now considering the same rank of our armed forces that I had then are getting paid thousands [...]

The ferry service technical working group should not only be thinking of the environmental and business aspect but also the safety of the passenger from the weather and open China Sea, and attractive terrorist target.
Are we really ready with Coast Guards lifeboats or helicopter in case of emergency?
Could PAGASA [...]

Dear Mr. Garcia (Ermin, Jr),
Thank you very much for continuously publishing not only the hard copy of the "Sunday Punch" but more so the version in the internet because for the reason that we who are from Pangasinan but settling from other parts of the world are starving from news back home. [...]

Archbishop Oscar V. Cruz, here is a copy of the author's view that could explain some of the Philippine peso paradox. It is simple enough to be understood by a layman but not the corner bystander. I could only hope SP would print without incurring copyrights.
Robert Kiyosaki, author: Why the [...]

A ferry service between Pangasinan and the Ilocos region is a giant step forward in the right direction. What a fantastic idea to put on the table by all city mayors involved and propitious future for all citizens of the country. This pitch will connect business to economic development resources that can [...]

Ferry service between cities of Dagupan, Alaminos and San Fernando?
A shot from the hip – fast draw of wishfully designed project . . . without proper environmental and economic study and awesome display of ineptitude.
For business and tourism? Whom are you kidding Mayor Al? Shades of the dredging machine still [...]
Thank you!

Crime Season
The Christmas season, which informally begins in the country after the All Saints' Day observance at the start of November, is very well both the best and worst time in the country.
The best because somehow the air becomes festive, what with all the decor and holiday tunes. The worst because it highlights the need [...]

Who will stop the kidnappers?
By Ermin Garcia Jr.
The recent kidnapping of two young girls in broad daylight by a still unidentified kidnap-for-ransom gang does not speak well of the capabilities and leadership of both the provincial government, the provincial police, the local NBI. Or I should say the national government.

Shelving the cha-cha: Not forever, we hope
By Gerry Garcia
THERE’S definitely a need for foreign investors because local capital being a Third Worldish is not enough to fund our development. The problem is that there are provisions in our current Constitution which are rather too restrictive than protective of our economic gains and these tend [...]
