[Title] => Doing it right this time
[Summary] => The long and difficult process of framing an agreement that will hopefully lay the basis for peace and prosperity in our Bangsamoro areas is drawing to a close. I am sure not many of us have given much attention to the Bangsamoro peace talks. Those who did likely focused on the sexier provisions on power and wealth sharing and the impact on national sovereignty among other headline grabbing sides of it.

[Title] => Happiness in a cookie
[Summary] => Around this time in years past, I would have had already cleared out the long table in the lobby by the entrance to our room.

[Title] => All About Anne
[Summary] => 
I was forewarned by my friends who did not like Anne Curtis that I should grab onto my seat because her wide mouth could just vacuum me out of existence the moment she started to speak.
Obviously a caveat from a hate camp, which condemned her for so many easy, available reasons that to argue with them would be pointless. I myself was then a trifle annoyed at her - her gnarled tongue that cannot elicit a decent Tagalog phrase, her insufferable squeamishness that ruins the little girl in her, her apparent pinball-ing from one boy-next-door to the next, which, um, ruins many chances of doing the same with these boys. Caution taken, I went to meet her for an interview. And they were right. She could vacuum you.
Only it's not her mouth that does it. The derision can just stop there. It is she herself that sucks you in, like an impish vortex that plunges you, whips you and then gives you an Is-she your-sister-is-she-your-daughter slap from Chinatown. Then it happened to me: that moment when celebrities peel their camera layer and reveal their true beautiful self, like a plumed serpent ready for a new close-up, a fresh dialogue and a new audience.
Often stars look the same. They have that waxwork eeriness that's as eternal as sunshine and as spotless as an empty mind.

[Title] => Lost in the Land of Oz
[Summary] => It was a dream of a telephone call.
On the other line was Steve Alfafara of Wings Travel, the Cebu specialist on tours to Australia, inviting me to join some travel agents in a seven-day educational trip to the Land of Oz, in cooperation with its flag carrier, Qantas Airlines. Caught off guard but without a moment’s hesitation, after he had mentioned the specific destinations we were to visit, I accepted the gracious offer.

[Title] => Gutsy Thais bring down tall Aussies
[Summary] => What it lacked in height and power, Thailand I made up with its speed and agility as it stunned top seed Australia I, 18-21, 21-17, 15-7, yesterday at the start of the second Nestea Beach Volleyball Asian Women’s Championship at the CCP Complex.
Rebounding impressively from an opening set loss with fine defensive stops against their fancied taller rivals, Rattanaporn Arlaisuk and Manatsanan Pangka took the next set then dominated Summer Lochowicz and Kylie Gerlic in the decider to complete the victory.
