An online press conference in the middle of the night at an unlikely venue—a dimly-lit congressman’s office in the House of Representatives several weeks ago became the reason for Vice President Sara Duterte’s presence at Boying Remulla’s turf, the Department of Justice (DOJ) last week.


Sara: a firm believer in due process

I remember what I read in the Reader’s Digest about a non-government organization (NGO) who helps indigent quadriplegics through providing them with free wheelchairs – wheelchairs that are adapted to rough terrain, enabling their beneficiaries to once again go outside and provide for their families.

Can we do away with doleouts?

In any game, political and otherwise, there are winners and there are losers.

Winning and losing celebs in Laguna

This write-up is about the most important bridge in Eastern Visayas. It is also about a bridge that is a significant link between Luzon and Mindanao. I can even say it a bridge most Filipinos know because it is the longest bridge in the Pan-Philippine Highway that connects Luzon to Mindanao and it has existed for fifty years.

Here we go again: the San Juanico bridge fiasco

Imagine a person who, despite all the chaos, confusion, and difficulties in life, chooses to see beyond the turmoil. This person is what we call a Kamalayan Learner. The word “Kamalayan” comes from the Filipino language, meaning “consciousness” or “awareness.” A Kamalayan Learner is someone who has reached a new level of understanding about themselves and the world around them. They don't just accept things as they are; instead, they look at life with courage, creativity, and love, transforming their fears and old beliefs into new visions for a better future.

Be disillusioned, but carry on

I believe in teaching absolute honesty, love, purity, and unselfishness in Kamalayan. To me, these qualities are the foundation of a truly noble life. When I think about purity of thought, I realize it leads us to perfection. Honesty, love, unselfishness, beauty, and joy can only exist in their purest forms. Jesus said, “Be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect,” and I believe that perfection is not just an ideal but a state we can strive for. The world itself is perfect—there's no doubt about it. The only reason we see it as imperfect is because we have a limited view, a distorted lens that clouds our perception.

I was born in 1952 and that makes me generationally included in the showbiz batch of Nora Aunor,  Vilma Santos, Tirso Cruz III, Rudy Fernandez and Jay Ilagan.  We belong to the lower rung of the baby boomers.

The etymology of ’Bobo’ as stupid

"The mind can shape our reality—either for better or for worse." That line echoed in my head after a brief yet inspiring encounter at Starbucks, Ayala Central Bloc in Cebu City. I was meeting with my car dealer when I was introduced to her daughter, Samantha Cabrera. She’s in Grade 8, articulate, bright-eyed, and full of promise. More than just a pretty face, she is already making her mark as a budding journalist. Her Wattpad account is filled with articles, poems, and reflections that show not only her talent but also her passion.
