Strait Din Ito ng UAE at Oman, Hindi Lang Iran

Kung titingnan ang mapa ng Strait of Hormuz, malinaw na hindi lang Iran ang may kinalaman dito. Sa hilagang bahagi ay ang Iran, ngunit sa timog ay naroroon ang Oman....lalo na ang Musandam Peninsula...at malapit din ang United Arab Emirates. Kaya hindi tama ang simpleng paniniwala na Iran lamang ang “may kontrol” sa strait.

What Could Have Been if Cory…? (Third of a series)

I have my own personal experience of the alliances and political parties that I participated in and supported (although juvenile and vicarious in my younger years) in November of 1953, 1957, 1959, 1961 and 1965 (and would have supported in November 1973 if Martial Law had not been declared and the 1935 Constitution had not been replaced by the 1973 rump “viva voche” Constitution.). The above included the “Magsaysay for President” Movement (MPM), the 1957 and 1965 PPP’s and the 1959 and 1961 Grand Alliances.

Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow

I’ve heard the line that the illiterate of the 21st century aren’t the people who can’t read or write, but those who can’t learn, unlearn, and relearn. At first glance, it sounds like a clever shake of the head at how fast the world moves. But when I sit with it, I feel its heartbeat. It isn’t about schooling or credentials. It’s about staying curious, about letting go of stubborn ideas when they don’t fit anymore, and about choosing to grow even when it’s uncomfortable.

There’s more to being an “epalitiko” than by having your name and your face plastered everywhere: on tarpaulins, inside government offices, on public vehicles and installations, and even on small, inconsequential items like medals or souvenirs.
