  • Ateneo Choir's 1st Album

    NAGA CITY-HERE is something earthly but is also ethereal. And much more, here, the two blends very well together.

  • The Maguindanao Massacre and Politics of Violence

    ISSUE ANALYSIS No. 14

  • Pity the Oil Companies?

    MANILA - When President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo issued Executive Order No. 839 on October 23 ordering oil companies to roll back pump prices in areas affected by typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng to October 15 levels, the Big Three - Petron, Caltex, and Shell - warned of supply shortages and negative effects in planned investments. They did comply, albeit grudgingly, by lowering prices in Luzon but increasing pump prices in Visayas and Mindanao.

  • What’s Wrong with Arroyo’s Congressional Bid?

    MANILA - President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's filing of her certificate of candidacy to seek the position of representative for the second district of Pampanga generated so much controversy. It overshadowed a similarly controversial attempt by former president Joseph Estrada's to take a second crack at the presidency. For sure, Arroyo's congressional bid would be the talk of the town up to the May 2010 elections or even beyond, if she wins.

  • Invisibilidad ng Paggawa sa Indie Cinema

    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.

  • Ang Sakramento ng Libog

    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.

  • Niche Magazines at Papuri sa Kapitalismo

    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.

  • Stubborn Homecoming of Manny Pacquiao and Company Puts Filipinos at Risk

    "Better safe than sorry."

    "A pound of prevention is greater than an ounce of cure."

    These are in essence what the Department and Health (DOH) and World Health Organization (WHO) are telling the country when they advice Manny Pacquiao to postpone his triumphal return to Manila after his victory over Ricky Hatton in Las Vegas, Nevada. Still, Manny Pacquiao returns to the Philippines today, offering only to go into voluntary quarantine at his home in General Santos City.

  • Despite Arroyo Order Cutting Some Prices, Medicines Will Remain Expensive

    Even if seriously implemented, the Cheaper Medicines Law would still fail to bring down the prices of medicines because it did not break "the monopoly control of transnational corporations on all aspects" of the drug industry. This monopoly is the main reason why drug prices in the Philippines are among the highest in Asia.

  • Major Major

    Ang tanong ni William Baldwin, judge sa 2010 Miss Universe beauty pageant, kay Venus Raj, ang Miss Universe Philippines, "What is one big mistake that you've made in your life, and what did you do to make it right?"

    Ang sagot ng mestiza (Indian Filipina) ay, "You know what sir in my 22 years of existence I can say there is nothing major major, I mean problem that I have done in my life because I am very confident with my family with the love that they are giving to me. So thank you so much that I am here!"
