Then President Benigno Aquino III approved the Tacloban Airport Development Project in (would you believe) 2012. That is 14 years ago, and obviously, there is still a lot of work to be done to complete it. How many more years do we have to wait?

The Office of the Ombudsman is marching again. But the question is, is this just another delaying tactic or a media hype that will result in nothing substantial?

When the House keeps crumbling down

I copied the title of this column from a phrase used by podcaster CJ Hirro in a YouTube presentation entitled “The Mastermind”. It was produced by the Peanut Gallery Media Network, which has 324,000 subscribers. As of last week, 216 thousand viewers have seen it. They may now feel the anger.
