Katulad ng libag sa katawan, kinakailangang ikubli, disiplinahin, alisin (depende sa kung anong reseta ng relihiyon at kultura) ang libog ng tao. Tila pulgas na maituturing ang libag samantalang matabang garapata ang libog. Sityo ng libag at libog ang katawan ng tao.  At dahil hindi lamang simpleng nanahan o kumakapit ang libag at libog sa atin, mas higit nitong pinapatindi ang sidhi ng sigalot na nangyayari sa buong katawan.

Sa isang lektura, binanggit ng taga-Summit Media, industry leader sa magazine publishing, at kung tama ang aking nadinig, na ang market nito ay P4 bilyon kada taon, at lumalaki pa. Talo ng magazines ang pinagsamang kita ng pelikula at musika.

MANILA - In the face of mounting calls for the government to investigate Lucio Tan's alleged losses and abuses of his employees in Philippine Airlines, the Aquino government has retreated from further intervention in the ongoing labor disputes in the airline, suggesting that the trouble at the country's flag carrier may be over.

But is it?

Maliban sa Endo (2007) na ukol sa kabataang subkontrakwal na manggagawa at sa My Fake American Accent (2008), walang presensya ang paggawa sa maigsing kasaysayan ng Cinemalaya. At ngayong iniisip ko, tila wala rin namang substansyal na papel ang paggawa sa indie film movement sa kabuuan.

Sa sakuyang inaagihan ngonyan digdi sa harong mi sa Iriga, parati kong nahihiling an mga nagkahurulog na kamagong. Dakul na mga bunga na dai ko maibitaran na dai hilingon. Asin harayo pa ako, napaparong ko na sinda. Parong na nagpapagiromdom sakuya nin mga magkapirang pangyayari. Siring kan sarong kakanon sa nobela ni Marcel Proust, an sarong namit, o an sarong parong pwedeng magdara satuya sa sarong kaisipan o panahon o pagkabuhay na iba sa kun ano an buhay na inaatubang niyato ngonyan. Igwa sanang kaipuhan na magkulibat kan kublit asin madadara na kita sa panahon na ini.

MANILA - Two teachers, where one is a member of the leftist group Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT), were killed in just the first 10 days of the administration of President Benigno Aquino III, bringing the number of extrajudicial killings under his watch to four.

Wangwang imbis na sirena, na malamang ay halaw sa mitikal na nakakapanghalinang tinig ng kalahating-isda, kalahating-tao na nilalang. Sa panahon ng Griyego, inaakalang nakakapagpatulog ito ng mga manlalakbay-dagat na kalalakihan para iligaw sila at hindi na makauwi sa kanilang kinalakihang bayan. Sa epikong Illiad ni Homer, naglalagay ang mga lalake ng wax ng kandila para takpan ang kanilang teinga at hindi makatulog.

Something new happened in the Philippines' election system last May and this was the use of automation for the first time to generate quick election results. Despite the new technology, however, the elections hardly changed the country's political configuration. Political dynasties remain in power and not a few people's hopes of promoting reform politics were dashed with the defeat of reform-minded officials particularly in Pampanga and Isabela.

MANILA - Johnny, not his real name, has been working as a cameraman for ABS-CBN's current affairs program for 22 years. On June 18, he was told by security guards that he is among those who have been banned from entering the company premises.

I nearly ran over Gloria Diaz many years ago when I was learning to drive. If it had not been for my driving instructor's nervous bark, I could have run over the former Miss U and I could have died! You see, Gloria Diaz was an icon of my childhood, a figure that dominated the many awakenings of my teenage years. I could not, in fact, recall a time when I did not know who she is, or, for that matter, who Margarita Moran is.
