Respite
Perhaps the cast of lead actors in our current pasyon as a nation might even be reflecting on two important themes of Lent: repentance and forgiveness. However, at this point, no one is asking for forgiveness, and no one is about to forgive without the repentance.abs-cbnnews.com 03/22/2008 3:51 PM
Black Saturday, Bleak Saturday
In the Christian world, Black Saturday provides the transition from death at Calvary to the dawn of resurrection. Is it the same for governance?abs-cbnnews.com 03/22/2008 3:49 PM
US waging economic war against China
Why have the prices of commodities like oil and gold risen so dramatically in the last year? Why has the dollar fallen so much? Normal business cycle? Bad management from the world’s financial institutions? And why hasn’t the world’s largest and strongest economy, backed by the most powerful government, been able to change the course of the situation? Perhaps the larger picture is that the United States is waging an economic war against China.abs-cbnnews.com 03/20/2008 5:15 PM
Speaking of success
In my mind I feel that if I make my success public I end up cornering myself and putting myself in a situation where future failure is not an option.abs-cbnnews.com 03/20/2008 1:57 AM
Holy Week reflections on marriage
It is Holy Week, and facetious as it may sound, this is a time to ponder and reflect on marriages which appear to be like the sufferings of the Son of God. Sometimes, we have to believe that hell is present life. It can only get better after death. If you believe in the Catholic teaching, then truly we should look forward to going to our God in heaven.abs-cbnnews.com 03/18/2008 11:30 PM

2006 Poverty Statistics: Worse than it looks
With the recent release of 2006 poverty statistics, the Arroyo administration was finally forced to admit that its much-hyped “28 quarters of continuous growth” has failed to benefit the ordinary Filipino. But despite the admission that poverty has risen despite high economic growth, the official poverty figures may actually be understated and obscure how widespread poverty is in the Philippines. This is because of the low poverty threshold the NSCB uses to estimate the extent of poverty.abs-cbnnews.com 03/17/2008 8:22 PM

Election high in Malaysia
Malaysia is described in academic texts as a semi-democracy and as “neither authoritarian nor democratic”. The balance now seems to tilt in favor of democratic ideals (what a pity that ours is being pulled down towards the opposite). Slowly we see this movement away from the constrictions of race-based electoral voting pattern.abs-cbnnews.com 03/14/2008 1:59 AM
Finding and breaking in a successor
For you the entrepreneur, if successful, then there will be one less slash in your job description (un-cluttering your calling card) and one less voice in your psychic board room. If unsuccessful then…well…there’s always New Age mood music, home service massages, and good psychotherapists to spend your vacation money on.abs-cbnnews.com 03/13/2008 4:26 AM
