The one good thing the ConAss achieved was it provided students of public relations a perfect example of how to create a public relations disaster.


My friend Congressman Mark Cojuangco who’s rarely pushy or makulit, recently called and insisted that we meet up so he could illuminate me on the finer details and facts of the ConAss process.

                    [Summary] => Within our comfort zones in Imperial Metro Manila, we go about attending to work, socials, family, and other "really important matters".


"It’s important" that we get to work on time, that we do the job expected of us. "It’s important" to keep ourselves abreast of the news, even the gossips. "It’s important" that we know the latest developments, the "IN" trends.


Sometimes work and social expectations become even more important than family time, marital bonding, and building both dreams and memories.
