[Title] => Time for reflection
[Summary] => According to Dave Murphy, M.D. based in America, the Philippines has a 40 percent excess capacity to generate electrical power. He said that the first step to a solution is to stop looking at it as a problem and look at it as an opportunity. Attitude is everything. Thinking of ways to take advantage of an opportunity is more likely to be productive than in thinking of ways to solve a problem.

[Title] => An idea whose time has come
[Summary] => Dr. David Murphy noted Ernesto Aboitiz’s list of specific points of progress in the Philippines in the last seven years is just the sort of good news that people need to be reminded of. His general comments about the power of a positive attitude are equally as valuable. We are also aware of long-term changes, like being able to feed ten people at a nice restaurant for twenty pesos fifty years ago.

[Title] => The good-news campaign
[Summary] => A leukemia warrior, a great journalist and a good friend Ed Santoalla, writing for the ISLA/The Advocacy Channel, Inc., got noticed by my cyber pal David Murphy, M.D. who makes it a point to scan all Philippine major papers day by day from his base in America. Ed’s article was published on Monday, May 13, the same day that my own column titled "Good News" appeared in
The STAR. "It seems that they launched Isla in December to spread good news, which they apparently call advocacy," said Dr. Murphy.

[Title] => The big breakthrough in the Philippine landscape
[Summary] => The recent capture of several kidnappers caught the attention of Dr. David Murphy who, day by day, reads the news in Philippine newspapers from faraway America. He noticed that quite a number of good things are now happening in the Philippines. "The peso is getting stronger. The poor seem to feel their lot is improving." he said. "The pessimists will need to work harder to maintain their negative attitudes if this sort of thing keeps happening."

[Title] => Legitimacy of GMA’s presidency
[Summary] => David Murphy, MD, with whom I have been having a running interaction during the past several months, is almost through Aprodicio Laquian’s book titled,
The Erap Tragedy and subtitled
Tales from The Snake Pit. "If I can be permitted a brief moment of smugness, their description of the man they knew intimately confirms what you printed about Erap’s sanguine personality. It’s nice to be right once in a while, eh?" he said.

[Title] => Opening the doors to new investments
[Summary] => Even the critics of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo must admit, although grudgingly, that there has been a major breakthrough in the economic landscape. Foreign investors are now beginning to look again at the Philippines as an investment hub.

[Title] => Elusive search for peace
[Summary] => Is the United Nations a "paper tiger"? The answer to this question will be determined if and when the UN will try to implement the unanimous Security Council vote calling on Israel to withdraw its troops and armaments from the Palestinian bastion of Yasser Arafat. Unless the UN moves soon and quickly to effect a ceasefire in that war-torn area in the Middle East, more human lives will be lost.

[Title] => An appeal worthy of consideration
[Summary] => The appeal for government support made by former Quezon governor Eduardo Rodriguez and his wife regarding their ongoing extradition case deserves the utmost attention by the Arroyo administration
You see, the Rodriguezez are wanted in the United States for insurance fraud, and the US wanted them to face its own brand of justice right in its hometown. The Rodriguezes had already expressed their desire to voluntarily go to the US.

[Title] => Dogfight in the air
[Summary] => A concerned Filipino, apparently a member of the Silent Majority, wrote to say that those who are opposed to the American soldiers’ presence here are generally anti-capitalist. "A majority of the minority marching in the streets, shouting angry words, vandalizing and damaging properties are up to really something else.

[Title] => Lost wars
[Summary] => In the book,
We Were Soldiers Once and Young, which took up the first major engagement between US and North Vietnamese forces in the I Trang Valley in Viet Nam, the author said that even that early in the war, ranking US military officials realized that the US could not win a decisive military victory. The reason is that the enemy was allowed to retreat across the border into Cambodia, where they could rest, recuperate, re-group and re-arm in safety, then attack at their pleasure.
