I'm sure you folks with satellite television have seen the great tourism advertisement of Malaysia… claiming to be "Truly Asia." Well, I just read a full-page ad in the national papers of another Malaysian advertisement en-titled, "Flora Fest 2007" Colours of Harmony, which will be held from Jan.20 to Feb.4, 2007. Malaysia is giving flowers top billing in their tourism industry and we can only sigh with envy that we cannot have such an event simply because the only time we buy flowers in this country is during Valentines Day, All Saint's and All Soul's Day or kalag-kalag.

                    [Summary] => Dr. Jose Dacudao, national president of Save Our Languages through Federalism (Solfed), e-mailed me this letter announcing with deep sorrow the untimely death of Jemarie Varon, 19 (who just turned 19 last April 27), in Butuan City last Tuesday, May 2. She’s the first Solfed member to be murdered, but it seems that her death is not linked to our language advocacy.

[Summary] => The group Save our Languages through Federalism (Solfed) held its Executive Conference the whole day Friday at the Mango Park Hotel in Cebu City to discuss issues pertaining to Charter changes (Cha-cha). It was a small, but well-represented working group headed by Atty. Lino Faelnar, Prof. Fred S. Cabuang of the De La Salle University in Manila, Dr. Jose Dacudao, representing Butuan and Bacolod, and Bentong Isles and dyRF radio commentator Ricky Rama Poca, representing Cebu. Five others could not make it due to various reasons.

[Summary] => Last Friday and Saturday, text messages designed to fool the electorate were spread, God knows to how many people with cellphones, that the Cebu prelate, our beloved eminence Ricardo Cardinal Vidal was supporting the presidential bid of Bro. Eddie Villanueva. Naturally, confidants of the Cardinal wanted to know whether this was true because the Cebu prelate never endorses any political candidate — and it didn’t take them long to find out that this was a fraud!

It is my opinion that today’s challenge is a continuation of a struggle for self-determination which began in 1898. This is not to finger-point at anyone but a soul searching that needs to be done by Filipinos. Why did it happen? Why did other countries, with less history and less resources, able to restructure their political institutions with less fuss and difficulty when they fail?
