AS IF BUDDHA KNEW FAMILY DYNASTY


In these BALITA’s pages, comments—on stars and
celebrities of the good or bad, beautiful or ugly family dynasties
–intoxicate the unwary and the innocents; so to make it
More complicated, I write this . . . .

P NOY DOES NOT NEED A SECOND TERM…

P Noy does not need now a second term. What the country needs is A NEW CONSTITUTION. Taken together these two sentences are like media headlines: Catchy, disjointed, deceiving, misinforming, palpably enticing readers to read it. It is actually all of the above.
