This is the article. Ano sa tingin mo, totoo kaya ito? If true, do you approve of the return of the US military bases? I don't have a strong stand for or against it. On the one hand, their presence in Mindanao would be good. Then, there would be a stronger law and order presence there, albeit a foreign one. B...

A single law now costs the Filipino people about P148.94 million. It's bad enough that many in Congress are corrupt, incompetent and lazy. To top it off, much of everyone's tax money is wasted in political bickering, creating scandals where none exists! This is the article. -- Edited by mia at 20:41,...

There are too many existing problems with regard to the 1987 that I think sooner or later the constitution will be changed, regardless of the vehement opposition of a few but influential people. Thus, I am opening a thread on the topic, so the voice of the people can be heard. I would like to start it by pr...

Joma, ang hari ng mga komunista, ay galing sa UP. Si Principe, iyong bagong na-aresto na malaking tao sa NPA, galing din sa UP. Si Nemenzo, presidente dati ng UP, isa sa pinuno na kasama kay Trillanes. Madami daw ang iskolar ng bayan na namumundok. Ang narinig ko, nadadala daw sila sa politika ng kanila...

CEBU, Philippines Here in the cradle of Asia's lone Catholic stronghold, the Rev. Cristobal Garcia is one of the most prominent faces of the church. It's a far cry from his despair of 20 years ago, when the Dominican religious order expelled him after a nun told police that an altar boy had been found i...

In democratic countries, libel is civil offense. It is considered an extension of freedom of expression and press freedom. During the martial law years, Marcos criminalized libel to intimidate the media and stifle criticism against the government. It remains the law of the land. Should libel be d...

Would you go for a parliamentary or a presidential system? What are the pros and cons?

Binigyan ni Gloria ng pardon si Erap. Pinalaya din ang nagbaril kay Aquino. Ang rason, matanda na sila. Sobra na sa 70 anyos. Tama ba ito?

If you are a Filipino Catholic, did you ever wonder why your grandfather or great grandfather or great-great grandfather did not go back to the Catholic church long after the Spaniards left the country and why many of our great leaders and presidents are not Catholic and did not adhere to any religion...

Since this law is much needed and wanted by Filipinos, but is forever stalled by the very rich and big pharmaceutical lobby, I thought of opening a thread on the topic. So people can monitor it.

We haven't heard anything more about this bill. It should be acted upon. It would be a great help to all Filipinos and hopefully should lead the lessening of credit risk, and make loans fast to get and affordable. Overseas, it is used for everything, from getting credit cards, college student loans to...

He claims to have been pretending to be gay, doing Christ's work as a psychoanalyst. Some weeks earlier, the same priest had also asserted that ga...

This is really very disturbing news. People who sell their kidneys are very ignorant and do not fully comprehend what they are doing. It is ridiculous that this is happening. The Philippines may not be rich money-wise, but it has a lot of land and abundant natural resources. It is just undeveloped. Wh...
