Comeuppance for DoTC, LTO BLURBAL THRUSTS Louie Logarta 01/17/2010

Comeuppance for DoTC, LTO BLURBAL THRUSTS Louie Logarta 01/17/2010 The reason offered by apologists of Senator Noynoy Aquino for his snubbing of the latest debate among the “presidentiables” hosted by the Asian Institute of Management and the Makati Business Club, in conjunction with the Presidential Policy Forum on Philippine Credibility and Competitiveness in the World, was that he had an “important engagement” to attend to. Did I get that right, Butch Abad? The Noynoy no-show naturally disappointed many of his supporters in the so-called civil society sector which draws its strength from the Makati elite who were hugely responsible, together of course with the Church, for the success of Edsa 1 and Edsa 2 because it would have been a stellar opportunity for him to disprove persisting brickbats being propagated by the opposing political camps that he is overrated, unprepared and totally unqualified for the Malacañang job he aspires for.....

Destiny TABLETS OF STONE Larry Faraon, OP 01/17/2010

Destiny TABLETS OF STONE Larry Faraon, OP 01/17/2010 As the other presidential candidates are dreaming of their trek to their destination, namely, Malacañang, President Joseph Estrada is looking at it as his destiny! There is a lot of difference, of course. Destination is simply a stop, an end of a journey totally resting and counting on human and personal designs, instrumentations and objectives. Destiny would refer essentially to a divine act or design as described in the olden times “the will of the gods” which is foretold by augurs and the fulfillment of which is being “monitored” closely and guided by the “gods,” but prevented from being fulfilled by the dark forces through all means including violent....

Noynoy strikes again C.R.O.S.S.R.O.A.D.S Jonathan De la Cruz 01/17/2010

Noynoy strikes again C.R.O.S.S.R.O.A.D.S Jonathan De la Cruz 01/17/2010 It’s strike two for LP presidential bet Sen. Noynoy Aquino. Even as the controversy over his earlier statements on the recent SWS survey that surveys can be bought in Quiapo and fellow presidentiable and Senate colleague Richard Gordon’s taunt about his track record and what he has done for Tarlac (I do not answer questions from a poll tailender) persists and is definitely putting his very character and stability in crisis under a cloud, he has once again opened himself for a deserved attack. This time an even more serious assault on his competence and, yes, his handling of the vast powers of the highest office of the land. What makes this latest outburst truly unfortunate if not contemptible is that the Tarlac solon directed it against the Supreme Court and its members which is of course a no-no in any other jurisdiction. ....

Social disorder in the making? VIEWPOINTS Archbishop Oscar V. Cruz 01/17/2010

Social disorder in the making? VIEWPOINTS Archbishop Oscar V. Cruz 01/17/2010 There appears to be some kind of an eerie feeling pervading many sectors of society, a certain ominous expectation expressed by not few people who are cognizant of, and attentive to, the signs of the times in this country. No. This is not really about the suspect or incapable political candidates from the national to the local levels of government, for the forthcoming elections — although such is certainly a discomforting reality about the present and future lot of Filipinos. This is neither relative to the progressively higher prices of food, cement and other necessities — although salaries remain stagnant in amount and jobs are harder to find, unless one leaves the country. Nor is this about the ever rising crime rate in the streets, the forever presence of guns in the hands of those who precisely should not have them.....
