Thank God I’m Filipino By S. Bill Jimenez TGIF!  Thank God I’m Filipino! Among Filipinos, thanksgiving is an important virtue. ”Utang na loob” (gratefulness) should be expressed and demonstrated; otherwise, you are called “walang utang na loob” (ungrateful). And being ungrateful is a stigma you don’t want. One Pangasinense who was supported by a ministry for four years in [...]

Camera Brigade By Leonardo J. Galvez The time is not that far when flying voters will dictate the results of the election. Not unless a mechanism is in place to check their nefarious activities, they will a be force to reckon with in future political exercise.

Education of the Heart By S. Bill Jimenez IN our success-oriented society, people often forget the sublime in their pursuit of success and wealth.  There is a need, therefore, of going back to where people started–to God and His word.

Flying Voters: An Instrument for Cheaters By Leonardo J. Galvez IF the influx of flying voters is an indication of what is to take place in the coming polls, the two warring parties must be consolidating their forces for a possible ugly face-off.

A Bad Omen By Leonardo Galvez ON the very same day Vice-Mayor Belen Fernandez filed her certificate of candidacy for the mayoral post, she was again buffeted by the same forces that failed to silence her in her quest to clean the city of grafters.

By Leonardo Galvez THE fuss over the person of Leo Angeles who filed a suit against the city administration on the issue of graft and corruption surrounding the aborted purchase of the Awai lot in San Jacinto has gone vitriolic.

Simple Living? By S. Bill Jimenez THE ECONOMY is sagging!  Prices of commodities are soaring.  What shall we do? Live simply?  Life is meant to be simple.  Our needs are simple, but greed, pride, and ego (“edging God out?”) make life complex.  Even in this 21st century, with many advances in science and technology, life seems to [...]
