Today, let us bear in mind that whoever we choose must be able to lead and inspire those in government to deliver the appropriate governance, and those in the private sector to take part and contribute to our growing nation needs. Choose well.

Two months ago, we asked what people felt should be the new government’s agenda. The problem of peace and order, corruption in government, the deteriorating productivity and competitiveness of local industries, and the country’s fiscal and debt problems were among those enumerated.

                    [Summary] => It’s a gory business for any search and retrieval operation involving marine accidents. The SuperFerry 14 tragedy, which happened last Feb. 27, is no exception. 


Relatives of missing passengers were appalled at the very slow response of the Philippine Coast Guard Authority (PCGA) and the reluctant logistics assistance of the Aboitiz controlled WG&A, owner of the ill-starred vessel.

It does not come as a surprise in fact to learn that Filipino consumers have remained to be the most pessimistic in Asia, with only a third of the population expecting things to improve in the next 12 months.
