[Title] => The Pinoy McManus
[Summary] => I’ve long nurtured this suspicion that every writer secretly wants to be the subject: every police reporter yearns to be a cop or a wisecracking detective, and every sportswriter dreams of being a champion athlete.

[Title] => Poor basics will seal Margarito's fate - Roach
[Summary] => After carefully studying Antonio Margarito’s fight tapes, trainer Freddie Roach pointed to poor fundamentals as a major drawback in the Mexican roughhouser’s style and said the other day his lack of ring generalship will make it easy for Manny Pacquiao to score a knockout in their 12-round bout for the WBC superwelterweight title at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Nov. 13.

[Title] => Culture of corruption
[Summary] => Recent reports of Formula 1 race-fixing, masquerading ineligible athletes to legitimize their participation in competitions and resorting to dishonest tactics under the principle of winning at all costs make you wonder what values are left in sports to inspire the youth to become moral leaders of the future.

[Title] => When a guy turns 40-something
[Summary] => Last year my 40th birthday came and went, and just a few weeks ago my 41st birthday whizzed past, too. So far, I am happy to report that I have not gone out and bought a shiny new saxophone or an expensive sports car, or hooked up with a skinny 22-year-old model.

[Title] => Does poetry’s arrogance matter?
[Summary] => 
Irreplaceable has been the Internet as much for instant communication as the unexpected jewels we find in our electronic mailboxes.

[Title] => Jazz, poetry & antiques
[Summary] => 
As a teener in the early ’60s, I remember risking life and limb on weekend visits to Gagalangin in Tondo, where an older friend from UP had a "pad." The purpose was to listen to jazz records from the burgeoning collection of Bnn Bautista.

[Title] => A daily dose of poetry
[Summary] => When poet Billy Collins talks of people who "tie a poem to a chair with rope and torture a confession out of it," you’d think he’s denouncing Slobodan Milosevic’s thugs.
But really, the point he makes in his piece Introduction to Poetry is that poetry is not supposed to make life difficult for us. Instead, it should help us see life, and yes, living, in myriad, if not exhilarating, ways.
