IMPLICATIONS: A WEDDING, BEATIFICATION AND A FUNERAL
April 29 to May 1 is perhaps the fastest three days in World History. All over the Internet and on TV, even in our mobile phones and tablet devices, we were fed with too much information on the biggest current events of our time — the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, the beatification of Pope John Paul II, and more recently, the death of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden — all…

Filipinos should use the power of social media wisely
Social media is less than a decade old. Obviously, when I was a teenager there was no Facebook or Twitter yet. I am so glad for that. At one point or another in our teenage years, we all acted like space cadets. But at least only a handful of people close to us will remember what we said or did. Even our own memory of what happened in the past can become a bit blurry.…

McDonald’s Ad: Misleading or Misinterpreted?
I saw in the news today that fastfood giant McDonald’s pulled down their new ad after receiving flak from Church leaders, particularly, the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP). The advertisement (as shown above) shows a young girl asking a young boy if she is his girlfriend, to which the boy answers, “Ayoko nga. Hindi pa ako ready. Demanding ang mga girlfriend. Gusto ganito, gusto ganyan (I don’t want to. I’m not ready. Girlfriends…

A hero’s burial for Marcos is a shameless attempt to rewrite history Over 200 lawmakers in the Philippine Congress have signed House Resolution 1135. Introduced by Sorsogon Rep. Salvador Escudero III, HR 1135 urges President Benigno Aquino III to allow the burial of the late strongman Ferdinand Marcos in the Libingan ng mga Bayani (National Heroes’ Cemetery).

KULANG
Baon mong isang daan, sabi mo sa nanay mo’y kulang, Pinangbili mo lang ng baril-barilan At isang dosenang “naruto cards” diyan sa may tindahan Palibhasa ang perang iyan ay hindi mo pinaghirapan. Sa iyong paglalakad, isang batang paslit sa gilid mo’y kakalabit, “Kuya pengeng barya” ang unang sambit. Bukas palad niyang tatanggapin, kahit anong nakahain. Pag ‘di nakuntento ang kalamnan, hahaplos nalamang sa kanyang tiyan Hindi siya nag-iisa, marami sila, Pinagwawalang bahala nalang ang disgrasya…

Batas sa Pinas
Batas dito, batas doon. Marahil isa na tayo sa mga bansa na napakaraming batas. Pero ramdam ba natin ang mga ito? Mañana habit maituturi ang nanaig sa bansa natin lalo na pagdating sa pagsasatupad ng Pilipinas. Ilang batas na ba ang naipasa at ginawang official pero wala pa rin tayong makitang sapat na aksyon.

President Ferdinand E. Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani?
(Image source: http://www.bacarra89ers.org/images/marcos_mausoleum.gif) Ayaw magbigay ng anumang komento ni PNoy paukol sa bagay ito. Baka raw kasi isipin ng mga tao na ”Biased” ang pasya niya dahil alam nating nga Pilipino na personal ito para sa kaniya.

Tama ba ang kaniyang desisyon na ang…
