Gaddafi's last moments: 'Don't shoot, don't kill me'

SIRTE, Libya – Dragged from hiding in a drainage pipe, a wounded Moammar Gadhafi raised his hands and begged revolutionary fighters: “Don’t shoot, don’t kill me, my sons.”

Within an hour, he was dead, but not before jubilant Libyans had vented decades of hatred by pulling the eccentric dictator’s hair and parading his bloodied body on the hood of a truck...

My Dearest Ina, I love you!

“When will this pilgrimage end?”, Rev. Msgr. Zosimo Sañado asked on the people of God on the third day of the Novenary masses held in honor of Ina, Our Lady of Peñafrancia. They say we are born of our mothers. God gave us the breath of life but we wouldn’t be brought into existence if it were not for our mothers.

They say we are born of our mothers. God gave us the breath of life but we wouldn’t be brought into existence if it were not for our mothers. Because of them, we partake in the beauty of life. Today, we celebrate the solemnity of Our Lady of Peñafrancia. Our devotion to her binds us all together, despite of religion, ethnicity and culture.

Romancing/Romanticising the Sangkaka

I do not know whether I should be rejoicing that the “Sangkaka” is now “malled.” But I would continue writing and investigating its provenance and temperament the same way I would devote time to Chilean and South African wine. After all, to write about the lowly “Sangkaka” is infinitely more rewarding and gratifying than struggling with the death of a General and the overrating of a day called Valentine’s Day.

Going Online

The present (printed)  issue is in fact the penultimate printed copy of this newspaper. And while this is saddening for us since this entails leaving behind Vox Bikol’s original form which many had been accustomed to, the change (at the start of the new year, no less) brings with it an exhilaration over the immense possibilities of providing news online to Bikolano netizens.   In our judgment then, Vox Bikol’s going fully online signals not a demise, but a rebirth.      

The resuscitation of a moribund Vox Bikol four Septembers ago by the Ina nin Bikol Foundation signaled not so much a shift in this newspaper’s mission emblazoned in the motto altiora petere but a more focused rededication to that goal of seeking what is nobler. Toward this end, Vox Bikol did not aspire to wholly mainstream itself but instead, poised itself to be an alternative source of news and views in print.
