These are unlocked/openline units but will be released later than the pre-orders for Smart and Globe (which will have a week or two of lead time).

Abused and unused
4 May 2012 | 6:21 pmJOURNALISTS’ and media advocacy groups marked World Press Freedom Day on May 3 (yesterday in Manila) this year as in the past years. But as if by agreement, they avoided the word “celebrated,” echoing a National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) statement marking the occasion in 2010 that “there is nothing to celebrate,” among other reasons because 32 journalists and media workers had been killed on November 23, 2009 in Maguindanao in what is now known as the Ampatuan Massacre. NUJP did hold its usual “media jam” this year, during which, however, the gaiety was in… -
Disconnect
27 Apr 2012 | 6:14 pmIN THE 1960s the University of the Philippines’ being supposedly “godless” and its students’ being agnostics if not atheists was common lore among middle-class families thinking of where to send their children to college. Among the reasons could have been UP’s being a secular institution rather than a religious one, and the claim, made through the media by adherents of “godly” education, alleging the infestation of the philosophy department of its then College of Liberal Arts with atheists, who were also accused of being communists. UP of course cannot but be secular. It is a… -

In second place is Somalia, followed by the Philippines at number three. Behind the Philippines in fourth… -
“Exceptional” indeed
13 Apr 2012 | 6:50 pmIF THE United States, as US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared this week in an address at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, is not provoking conflict with capitalist China, it has an odd way of showing it. As the US spokesperson on global affairs — which from Afghanistan to Zanzibar the US thinks are ITS affairs whatever the local inhabitants may think — Clinton herself has repeatedly criticized China for censoring the Internet, suppressing criticism of the government and its policies, and imprisoning dissenters. The criticism is not without basis, and should… -
Love-hate
30 Mar 2012 | 6:16 pmFILIPINOS have a love-hate relationship with their countrymen in other climes. It’s a relationship defined by class boundaries, in that most Filipinos love them while some don’t, and even despise them. Those professionals and middle class folk — including, perhaps especially, journalists still with enough brains to think about such matters — who’ve either decided to stick it out in this country despite the political instability, economic stagnation, and the chaos of daily existence; or who have no choice but to stay, are more likely to thumb their noses at their fellow…

Forbidden Broadway Manila Spoofs Spoiler

It's a very timely show considering some of these Broadway musicals have been staged in Manila and most musical theater fans can relate to the popular spoofs. If you hear someone laughing about a "lost in translation" scene, it is probably because they either want to let you know that they can relate to the spoof (since they know more about Musical Broadway… -

Of disputed islands and irresponsible media
14 May 2012 | 11:25 pmNews As tension escalates in the disputed Scarborough Shoal, many Filipinos are fearful that this might end in a bloody confrontation that would eventually force the country into an unnecessary and unwanted war with imperialist China.It is alarming to read the threats posted by state-run papers in China, and enraging to imagine the repercussions that fiery opinion on China in Philippine dailies would have. One might ask, what would China lose if it finally breaks ties with the Philippines?I would say, nothing.The Philippines, on the other hand, would lose plenty.In 2011, bilateral trade… -
A case of mistaken identity, but...
13 May 2012 | 10:18 amThoughts For decades now, the Philippines have been in the middle of a civil war. One that may not be felt in the cities and towns, but is definitely felt in the countrysides where the war is being fought. The victims? Innocent farmers, fisherfolks, civilians who are just trying to make a living. Here is a very informative video of the most recent incident involving the military and four poor farmers who were mistaken by the former as members of the Maoist New People's Army, the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines. Sad to say, in most parts of the country, the Philippine… -
Grand homecoming
12 May 2012 | 3:25 amThoughts A friend, Kathy, came home from Alberta, Canada and in an hour we're meeting a bunch of grade school classmates (that would be 6pm Manila time, tonight). The town went crazy yesterday as two military helicopters hovered in the skies. I thought there's some military operation in the hinterlands as it is a known fact that the mountain range that runs through our town is a hotbed for the Maoist New People's Army. After circling low a few times, it finally landed in our public plaza. Lo and behold, there she was, surrounded by locals who were curious of the helicopters' presence. Two of… -

Breastfeeding and attachment parenting
10 May 2012 | 7:34 pmHealth There is no doubt that breastfeeding is one of the healthiest parenting practice. Breastfeeding not only promotes attachment and builds the bond between mother and child, it also ensures that the child gets the proper nutrition and develop proper immunity, as breastmilk contains nutrients needed by the child as well as substances that helps in the development of the child's immunity. However, the healthyness of breastmilk is also dependent on how nutritious the mother's diet is and it is suitable only to a certain age. Certainly, 3 years old is already pretty too old for breastfeeding.

Why #PBBTeens4 turned to shit.
20 Apr 2012 | 10:40 pmLast night’s primetime episode of Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition 4 was a real turn off. I’m glad, that I’m not the only one who felt that way, who thought what was on display in front our Television Sets wasn’t right anymore. It’s clear, this years’ batch of Teen Housemates contains some of the worst characters yet. No, I’m not summing them up, but citing Karen, Claire, and Kit pretty much speak for themselves. I find it very sad that there are young tweens and teenagers out there who actually embrace what they saw on national television and even…

Same Old Same Old in the Impeachment Trial
7 May 2012 | 6:56 amIt´s the 35th day in the resumption of the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona. Still, we are getting the same strategy from his defense team: object, delay, confuse. Even the senator-judges are getting impatient. This is good, because they are showing that they can speed up the trial. What many of them want is to see Corona take the stand. This is also the sentiment of a majority of Filipinos. But the defense will not allow their client to do so on the grounds that he might incriminate himself. What?!!! In saying this are they inadvertently insinuating that Corona is indeed… -
What’s Wrong with an Aquino Court?
12 Dec 2011 | 8:37 pmNow that impeachment proceedings have begun against Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona, PNoy’s detractors are now saying that he will place his own Chief Justice should Corona be successfully ousted. They ominously warn that PNoy will be establishing an Aquino court which will be no different than an Arroyo court. There’s really nothing wrong with PNoy appointing his own justices. That is the prerogative of every sitting President. It makes governing easier. It becomes wrong under the following circumstances: 1. When the appointed justices are “midnight… -

Alone Still Seeking Justice
16 Dec 2010 | 1:05 amIt’s difficult not to sympathize with Lauro Vizconde. I am a widower myself, although my wife succumbed to cancer. It’s not so much that I miss her, but what could have been had she lived longer. I feel there could have still been much to do and that I have not known her that well yet to lose her so suddenly. So much in my home reminds me of her. Lauro Vizconde lost more and in the most tragic way. I am quite sure, in his home, he is reminded not only of one loss but three. He continues to live alone, albeit in the company of house help who keep to themselves. It’s easy to… -
