I want rice more than bread in dining table, even during breakfast time. I have just watched the news on “Tinapay ng Bayan” stuff of the Arroyo government maybe aiming to lessen the burden of rice shortage on the Filipino people. I doubt this would divert our attention to the existing problem on rice in [...]

Sexuality is never an issue in the operation of a 37 years old homosexual at the Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center (VSMMC), as what has pointed out by a certain bishop of Cebu. The bishop has told the public in an statement that the victim himself is at fault.

On Human Rights Situation in the Philippines
Posted by: joselito capariño on: April 21, 2008
Human rights situation in the country is at the alarming stage.
In a report of human rights group Karapatan, 902 leftwing activists were victims of summary executions and 180 political activists were victims of enforced disappearances from 2001 up to present, of course under President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
I remember the two UP students who were reportedly abducted [...]

I wonder how the National Statistical Coordination Board arrived at Php139 budget for a family of five to eat a regular meal, meaning having a meal in every family’s table three times a day. It is a survey from this policy making and statistical body of the government. The question now is that how reliable [...]

I can’t accept the fact the we need to import rice from Vietnam, Thailand and the United States. We are an agricultural country blessed with fertile land suitable for farming and cultivating.
I can’t accept the fact that [...]
