I spent my birthday at Chong Hua Hospital two weeks ago. The last time in was confined for a bum stomach due to amoebiasis was over 40 years ago, that’s why hospital owners hate me “wa sila negosyo nako”.

The public outcry has grown shrill and sharp in frustration and anger, not only to revisit the Pangilinan version of the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act (RA 9344), but to scrap such version altogether, to stop the juvenile or minor criminals abusing the law.

Let me just say, though, that in the office, I am probably one of the few who has not yet been spooked by what some of my officemates would swear are a number of unexplainable apparitions and related phenomenons.

Most of those in the office who, like me, work late into the night, have at one time or another seen or heard typewriter keys (in the old days) or computer keyboards being used by somebody, or something, that they could not see.

Its resolution which got the nod of the Cebu Provincial Board aims to correct it into: "It's raining outside, isn't it?"

The Sun Digitel Telecom VP takes the criticism in stride, albeit belying any aim to promote bad English, but merely a stab at humor to dramatize the common expressions in using the Sun's techno-facilities.

It coincided with another Gullas institution founded by Don Vicente Gullas and Mrs. Josefina R. Gullas also in 1919, the Visayan Institute that later gifted Cebu with its first university.

Except for some snatches of recall that one had an earful, no specific footnotes flashbacked about The Freeman then. As birth "twin" with the UV, their twinning crept into one's subliminal psyche as two inseparable institutions.
