[Title] => Dear Madame GMA, (Part I)
[Summary] => So much has happened since I visited you at St. Luke's Thursday night last week, the eve of your arrest.

[Title] => How the UAAP and NCAA cage wars reflect our hypocrisy
[Summary] => A culture of corruption is established when a society freely accepts, adopts and practices the mindset that IF WE CAN GET AWAY WITH IT, THEN DO IT.

[Title] => No-el
[Summary] => The worst I feared had happened: the politicians who nurse ambitions within the existing paradigm of our politics have preempted public debate about changing the constitutional order by focusing their claptrap on the proposed transitory provision canceling the 2007 elections.
For the record, I voted against that provision when it was hotly debated at the Consultative Commission. I voted against it because I feared that, like a black hole, this provision would suck in all the other sound reforms we presented as a draft Constitution.

[Title] => Flattery and sound advice
[Summary] => In Lake Caliraya, back when simple recreation and nobler leisure were still affordable amenities of life, some people – resort owners, sports fishermen and a few local residents – thought of stocking the lake with American largemouth bass. A superbly smart, resourceful and predatory species, the import took no time dominating the native hito, dalag and biya; it even outmuscled another predator, the tilapia – an earlier import from Egypt.

[Title] => Alien assessments
[Summary] => Why are we so vulnerable when foreigners look us over and publicly make their assessments of who we are, what we are doing, how we are doing and how we may or must do better on whatever it is we are doing? Another painful consideration: Why are foreigners so prone to assessing and advising us on how to do better?

[Title] => Fitting shoes for a president
[Summary] => The world’s biggest pair of shoes is finally acknowledged to be Philippine- made. In undertaking this feat, Filipinos made a most dramatic and extremely timely statement. They gave the rest of the world notice that a nation who makes such shoes must also have the people who can legitimately wear them.

[Title] => On politics, wars and management
[Summary] => There’s this book – "Machiavelli and Management" by Anthony Jay – that attempted to draw lessons from Machiavelli’s," "The Prince," a work on the governance and tight grip on power in a small principality. In "The Prince," Machiavelli laid down the principles to follow and the actions to take by anyone who wanted to attain his goal (which is power) and never mind who got hurt (in Filipino, kahit sinong matapakan).

[Title] => Consuelo de bobo
[Summary] => It helps a lot not to be bright in this country. That way one not only survives, he can actually be hopeful about desperate situations, hopeless endeavors and lost causes. There is always light at the end of the tunnel, a silver lining in the darkest of clouds and merciful salvation may yet be gained by the most predatory soul. Everything is simply a matter of time and timing. Even in the worst possible case, happiness is no more than a lifetime away. One has survived and that very fact is an already remarkably promising beginning.
