                    [Summary] => 

The increasing belligerence being displayed by this “new kid on the block” from North Korea — threatening to launch a nuclear attack against the United States and South Korea — is one situation where the intelligence community plays a critical role.

The increasingly belligerent posture of China over Scarborough Shoal has put the Philippines in a rather precarious position, placing us in a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation.

Today is the 130th Birth Anniversary of Cebu’s Grand Old Man, the late president Don Sergio Osmeña, Sr. and it is a good occasion to remind our fellow Cebuanos that once upon a time, an unassuming and humble man was at the top the country’s political leadership at a very young and tender age of 29 when he was elected as Speaker of the Assembly, a feat that no other Cebuano has ever repeated even at a much older age.

[Summary] => To all Marian devotees, today we celebrate the birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary... the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ... "Theotokos!" That other people who claim to be Bible-reading Christians do not even care to honor our Mama Mary because they believe that she was merely a vessel used by God for His divine plans and later to be discarded has caused a great chasm among Christians.

[Summary] => I’ve gotten a lot of reactions about the articles we wrote on the last Mendiola incident. Here’s a letter e-mailed to me by a reader from Hong Kong:

"Dear Mr. Avila, Shalom! I agree with your comment 100 percent regarding the drenching of Mr. Guingona, Tobias and company. They deserve it!

Douglas MacArthur brought a huge invasion force into the Eastern Seaboard of the island of Leyte from Tacloban City all the way to Dulag Beach, fulfilling his promise to the Filipino people, "I shall return," a promise that echoed in the hearts and minds of millions of Filipinos whose only hope for freedom was pinned on his victorious return to our islands.
