Capt. Aniano Amatong, 31, ordered his co-pilot to bail out of a malfunctioning plane. Capt. James Acosta did and survived.

Amatong then steered his doomed plane away from the populated areas of Paombong, Bulacan and headed for an open pond. It was too late for him to bail out. But the tragedy took no other casualties.

Pure heroism. It has to be called that.

[Summary] => Speaker Jose de Venecia’s speech before the Manila Overseas Press Club (MOPC) exactly a week ago continues to reverberate throughout the country as a step in the right direction as it is a radical shift in our system of governance, where all of us must experience some kind of "paradigm shift."

Short of saying this leaves the Philippines defenseless against external threats, the commander of the PAF Air Defense Wing bid farewell to the country’s aging F-5 fighters in sentimental rites that had a funereal tone.
