                    [Title] => Outstanding facts on the war in the Philippines
                    [Summary] => The National Historical Institute recently organized a 2-day Conference to discuss the various aspects of World War II as it affected the Philippines. The Conference was held at the University of Santo Tomas. The discussion was timely because this year marks the 60th anniversary of the end of that war (the most terrible in human history) and that event is being celebrated in various European capitals.

                    [Summary] => Nick Joaquin was a National Artist who fully deserved that title. Even if that honor had never been conferred on him, he would still have been in reality our national spokesman.


That fact was expressed very well, though somewhat differently, by Maria Isabel Ongpin in her column in Today. She said that Nick Joaquin "struck a chord in us". He made us aware "of the universe we lived in" which we had known but had not adverted to.

The eminent professors were unanimous in their condemnation of the film and of Mel Gibson himself. The professors vied with one another as to which of them could express his or her indignation more vehemently.

Even though Spanish was not widely spoken, the country itself "felt" Hispanic. Dr. Legarda’s comment on that incident is interesting:
