For one, that the three protesting bishops – Antonio Tobias, Deogracias Iñiguez and Julio Labayen – were not among those hosed down after all. They already had finished leading prayers at nearby San Sebastian church. It was a much smaller group of retired pols Tito Guingona, Bobby Tañada and Oca Orbos, with sitting Sen. Jamby Madrigal, that tried to march to Malacañang to defy the no-rally zone.

Frankly, I did not expect this. I hesitated writing the first column because the subject might be too esoteric or too technical for the general readership.

Let’s have a civilized debate about tariffs!

I nearly missed Bobby Tañada’s rejoinder to my November 8 column that took issue with EO 241 and its effects on our economy. I was busy running around and meeting with budding entrepreneurs.

Fortunately, my comrades at the Foundation for Economic Freedom (FEF) caught the rejoinder and prepared their appraisals of it.

When I travel abroad, I choose to fly on Philippine Airlines whenever possible, even if it is slightly more expensive. Two weeks ago, I decided to vacation in a beach resort in Bohol instead of going to Phuket in Thailand, even if it was more expensive to go to Bohol, if only to put my money where my mouth is.
