DAHIL SA ISANG LARAWAN

 Dalawang araw nang nakapagpapahinga sina Francis at Junichi. Medyo nakapag-adjust na ang kanilang katawan sa bagong time zone. Komportable na si Junichi sa bagong kapaligiran. Sa dahilang mahirap ipaliwanag ay parang hindi siya namamahay sa kanyang bagong tirahan na para bang siya ay bahagi nito, na parang ito ay kanyang tunay na tirahan gayong ngayon lamang siya napunta… Read More »

LACSON HAS NOWHERE TO HIDE

CHICAGO, Illinois (JGLi) – Philippine Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson’s reason for escaping from the claws of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo maybe on target. He does not like to give her “the pleasure of seeing my life miserable and in danger.” That is, if he can outlast her everlasting grip on power even if she is desperately grasping on straws… Read More »

Was Panlilio’s Ouster a Hatchet Job?

The ouster of Gov. Fr. Ed Panlilio from the governorship of Pampanga once again reinforces the belief that the Commission on Elections (Comelec) is being used to “terminate” the political lives of the enemies of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Panlilio was the third governor who got axed for not playing ball with Gloria. The day before Panlilio’s ouster,… Read More »

Magka-ugnay

Ikalawang bahagi:               Matapos magpa-alam ay walang kibong umuwi ang mag-asawa. Buti na lang at wala pa ang kanilang dalawang anak, kaya nagkapanahong magka-usap sila  ng masinsinan.             “Cora, huwag kang gaanong mag-alaala tungkol sa aking kalagayan. Okey pa rin naman ang dayalisis. Malay mo, baka sakaling magmilagro ang Panginoon at may magbigay sa akin ng kidney.”… Read More »

Bringing the world to our living room

As I write this feature, Canada has garnered 21 medals. I know because I just saw it on television, the magic that instantly communicates around the world what is happening in the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.             The women’s figure skating competition has just been concluded. It was about 12:00 midnight eastern time, 9:00 pm in Vancouver. I… Read More »

The Beauteous Young Widow

She could not be more than 22 but she looked much younger.  Her delicate light complexion, her dark brown hair, petite and her fondness for bright coloured dresses would make many to guess wrong as to her real age, even among other women.                 She would walk effortlessly as her hips swayed like a well time pendulum, making… Read More »

Remember EDSA

It is infuriating that 24 years after the Filipino people brought down a dictatorship and restored democracy, some military personnel act like martial law was never rejected resoundingly by the militants at EDSA. It seemed generations ago when the brutal soldiers of the Marcos dictatorship terrorized the Filipino people, and yet from time to time in this supposed… Read More »

Something sinister about Arroyo ads

                  There’s more than meets the eye in the two-page advertisements that the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) has been running in three major newspapers in the Philippines heralding the alleged accomplishments of the Arroyo administration in the economy, social development, public works, law and order, job generation, agriculture, energy, environmental protection and digital infrastructure in its nine… Read More »
