                    [Summary] => 

Cebu Governor Hilario Davide III has reduced the post-Yolanda rehabilitation budget the province is asking from the national government from P27 billion to just P10 billion, saying that under the current circumstances, the original amount is no longer realistic.

“A country can become a colony of its own people,” warned Senator Claro M. Recto in his time. That was what became of the Philippines during Martial Law. It is 24 years since Martial Law.

Many people were not even aware that they were supposed to be celebrating the day Andres Bonifacio issued a manifesto fixing August 29 as the beginning of the general uprising against Spain. What is sad is that we celebrate the day not with any national program to remind us of what took place but by simply refraining from work. That is why Filipinos have very little historical consciousness. The important thing yesterday was not what Bonifacio did 109 years ago. It is that we did not have to go to work.

Roosevelt’s classic definition of the Four Freedoms as "freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship and the freedoms from fear and want." We have always maintained that the very first freedom (and all other freedoms) depend totally on it is "freedom from ignorance".

Any commemoration is only as good as the way the occasion is celebrated. There must be an interesting program that projects the relevance of the occasion. One of the greatest historical happenings in our times was the People’s Power Revolution. It has no precedent in world history. Sad to say less and less people have been attending its annual inauguration. This is because the programs are totally irrelevant to the occasion. Instead of projecting people’s power, the programs merely consist of speeches by politicians in power.

And the saying is that when developed nations like the United States and Japan catch a cold, we get double pneumonia. On top of that we have a peace and order problem. The terrorist situation in Basilan has not improved even after Balikatan. We are expecting El Niño to trigger a drought that will affect our rice production. Now it seems as if we should also expect some problems from both houses of Congress.

Unlike Erap who wanted absolutely no defense whatsoever, the defendant in the US case announced that he would represent himself in court. Everytime he was asked a question by the prosecution, he would question the prosecutor. The judge sternly told him that he was under obligation to answer the questions of the prosecutor and that he had absolutely no right to question the prosecutor.

Roces [Summary] => The Erap-Resign demonstrations that we are witnessing today are actually much more than the People’s Power Revolution that toppled the dictatorial regime of Ferdinand Marcos. The People’s Power Revolution lasted only four days. We have yet to see how long it will take to get President Estrada out of Malacañang. But more important, the People’s Power Revolution took place in EDSA, in the area near Camp Crame and Camp Aguinaldo. The current show of people’s power is all over the nation and all over Metro Manila. It is on a national scale.

Roces [Summary] => Last Tuesday, the Vatican named British statesman, humanist and author Thomas More as the official patron saint of politicians. There could be no greater Christian political model than Thomas More, who was Lord Chancellor of England in 1529, Henry VIII wanted to divorce Catherine of Aragon. More disagreed and resigned as Chancellor. When Henry VIII went further and broke with the Pope, More refused to accept the King as head of an independent Church. He was charged with treason and beheaded in 1535.
