‘Tis again the season of LENT—it officially kicked off on Ash Wednesday 6 February and will culminate on Easter Sunday, 23 March. Lent, for most Christians, is the 40 days liturgical season of fasting and prayer before Easter. During Lent, 2 days are days of fasting—Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, while all other Fridays are [...]

Jun Lozada’s Testimony: Will Sec Romulo Neri stand up please? and BLOGGERS, UNITE!
Not only I, but the whole nation perhaps, except the powers that be, would like Sen Neri to stand up please. On the urging of the Senate—to speak up the truth and nothing but the whole truth (so Help us all, God), Engr Jun Lozada, who has been consistent all the time, is talking some [...]
Will More Lozadas Stand Up, Please?
Most senators, maybe all, believe in the credibility of Jun Lozada (Rodolfo Noel Lozada, Jr). He has passed what Sen Miriam called a credibility test. He has been invited by the Senate for a hearing on corruption charges involving the FG and his cohorts. His answers have been candid and consistent, the way the senators [...]
Moral Competence in the Practice of Democratic Governance
Here is a “think piece” from my guest-blogger, one of my 7 kids, who would like to keep anonymity (highlights mine):
Celebrity and Expertise
These two factors are usually the basis for electing or appointing officials in the government. By celebrity, one does not necessarily have to be an actor, athlete or a news anchor. It means [...]

This was written by one of m kids—who wants to remain anonymous.
The Local Government Code of 1991

Another Coup? Really, we don’t need it! Let us PRAY for peace (UPDATED)
UPDATES: IS IT OVER?
As of 6:20 pm, the renegade senator and soldiers, together with their supporters, have gone out of the hotel. The senator has been arrested!
And what have they gained? for me NOTHING! They must have really thought that people would go out in the streets for another “people power”. NO WAY! [...]
Understanding the Bureaucracy–Is there a way out?
This was written by one of m kids—who wants to remain anonymous.
Is There A Way Out?
Filipino families are very close-knit. Unlike our foreign counterparts from, let’s say, the United States, our familial ties are almost impossible to break. Extended families live in compounds with houses that are only a few feet away from one another, [...]
A Day of Sorrow and Protest
I got this in the email.
Please join the whole Filipino nation in mourning and sorrow with those who perished in the recent Glorietta2 bombing. Let’s have a minute of silence in our hearts to remember our fellow Filipinos who died in the recent senseless act of terrorism.
We light a candle in our heart in [...]
Independence Day–I am Proud to be a Filipino
I am proud to be a Filipino! Despite my losing hope in the system, I tend to bounce back—there might be a flicker of chance after all, for the sake of our children, who are tomorrow’s leaders.
