"Unang Pangulo"

HAVE BAT WILL STRIKE - Juanito V. Jabat   - The Freeman

Nonito "The Filipino Flash Donaire, a KO loser in his last fight, said he's coming back to fight again. It's not over till it's over, right?

There can be no peace if the Moros are allowed to keep their guns," said a religious leader. But I read a while ago the Italian proverb that says: "Arms carry peace."

Archbishop Jose Palma has appealed to Pope Francis not to forget Bohol should his scheduled visit to the Philippines materialized. It is in Bohol where most of the centuries old Catholic churches were demolished by the 7.2 magnitude earthquake.
