[Title] => Ogie Alcasid laments lack of OPM songs in the airwaves
[Summary] => We had the chance to interview Original Pilipino Music (OPM) stalwart Ogie Alcasid during the dry run of his TV program “Hole in the Wall” last week. As we all know, Ogie ran as one of the board members of OPM the organization—otherwise known as the Organisasyon ng Pilipinong Mang-aawit—of which the singer-composer desires to serve as its president.

[Title] => Stalling the ‘canvass’ cripples our nation and makes democracy look sick
[Summary] => Enough is enough. Senator Aquilino "Nene" Pimentel had more than enough of his say in his ridiculous four-hour filibuster. Now he’s threatening to oppose, stall, nitpick, and "question" some more – in the defense kuno of democracy.
Cut it out, Nene! Let’s get this snail-paced canvass finished, over and done with, so at least we’ll have an elected President and Vice President proclaimed, rather than have Senate President Frank Drilon or whoever, sitting in for the "interim".

[Title] => Our evolving politics
[Summary] => It is easy to be discouraged by the politics that surround us. You hear people saying there is no choice in a close contest between GMA and FPJ or there is a choice for the lesser evil. We can’t have the ideal. To make do with what we have is to accept that like evolution, the process through which life develops, politics is as much a protracted affair. Yet the signs of change for a maturing electorate are before us. Who would have throught that from a vantage of invincibility, FPJ of movie popularity, would be surpassed by President GMA in poll surveys?

[Title] => Forging ahead
[Summary] => Whatever the motive, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s New Year statement that she will not to run in 2004, is laudable. It remains to be seen how her statement will impinge on developments in the coming days. It is unfortunate though that the immediate reaction from party colleagues was to speculate on who would be the party’s presidential candidate. But can they be blamed? That is how destructive the hold of the presidential system is on our politics. The value of President GMA’s statement was precisely to stop the politicking with so much work left undone.

[Title] => Winnables - SKETCHES by Ana Marie Pamintuan
[Summary] => By now Joseph Estrada must have lost faith in feng shui, numerology and the rest of that mumbo-jumbo (or maybe he just fired his feng shui adviser). But it may still spook the country’s 13th president to realize that his fate is now in the hands of 13 associate justices of the Supreme Court, after Chief Justice Hilario Davide Jr. and Associate Justice Artemio Panganiban inhibited themselves from the case yesterday.
