BASHER LINKS RYAN WITH MARIAN
An enraged Ryan Agoncillo retaliated on invidious words of a basher who reported he has a crush, secret desire for Marian Rivera. At his Instagram, Ryan frankly remarked the basher is insensitive out of his mind to link him with Marian. In the first place, all these years Ryan and wife Judy Ann Santos are happily married.… Read More »
New law: If Ontario doesn’t like what you say, you’re going to jail
A new law took effect in Ontario last month. It is now an offence, punishable by punitive fines and prison, to “attempt to advise or persuade” someone to refrain from having an abortion, or to “attempt to inform a person concerning issues related to abortion services”, or to “attempt to perform an act of disapproval [of abortion]”… Read More »
Let impeachment process proceed
Just six years after the Supreme Court was rocked by an inglorious impeachment trial that removed a sitting Chief Justice and by the contentious appointment of the court’s youngest member to replace him, the country’s high tribunal has again found itself saddled by controversy, division and disarray.

When will ‘cycle of migration’ end?
While President Duterte’s decision to immediately repatriate abused overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Kuwait and to ban further deployment of workers to the Middle East country was at first look commendable, it still leaves questions that previous administrations have also largely ignored. The President made the twin moves following the discovery of the body of 29-year-old… Read More »

No more maids
MANILA Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte endears himself to our overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) when he warns other countries, particularly Kuwait this time, to not abuse Filipinos working there. He deserve kudos for that. But it’s not enough. During another presidency, the then incumbent proudly declared that Filipino domestic staff should be trained to be “super maids” before… Read More »
