Something hit me when I attended the press launch of Neo computer’s new range of laptops two weeks ago. The venue had four round tables, and when I arrived I noticed that only two were occupied: round one table were reporter friends of mine, those working for newspapers, while the other table had people I [...]
Just as I was finishing up yesterday’s article, my good good good friend Jojie Alcantara posted on her Facebook site that she is conducting a “free fun photoblogging workshop” on Saturday, October 31, at SM City Davao.

“Ill timed.” This was how Davao City councilor Angela Librado-Trinidad described the Philippines’ hosting of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM)’s Interfaith Dialogue on December 1 to 3. Many Pinoys don’t know it, but our government is indeed in the thick of preparations for what is described as the biggest assembly to be held in our country [...]
I have several friends who lost virtually everything they had during the onslaught of tropical storm Ondoy last month, and it was difficult to offer words of encouragement knowing that they are facing perhaps the greatest challenge of their lives. Many of them literally don’t know how they can recover, how they can earn enough [...]
