Opinion: Don’t Try to be a Woman When You Are Not
Actually, the police is correct. Nobody is really going after gays or LADLAD,
as they are called. Except when they try to pass themselves off as member of the
female sex. Then, all hell breaks loose. Especially for guys who are of the
belief that they are having sex with a female.
Opinion: Supermoon and Lunatics
It was not intentional, but some nights ago, after I had seen the Super Moon
rise, I listened to tales of "moonies" and lunatics.
I had earlier expected the point that we are still a superstitious people and pay more attention to folk tales and similar stories rather than the hard facts of life.
Opinion: The Mambukal Mountain Hot Spring Resort
Few are aware that the current project of the Mountain Hot Spring Resort in
Mambukal is actually creating a major stir in Japan. The reason - working on it
is the fifth most famous Japanese landscaper of the country - Kuchi Yamaguchi.
Yamaguchi has gained fame in Japan as the country’s top fifth landscaper firm’s owner.
Opinion: The Art of Double-Speak
City Mayor Evelio Leonardia yesterday tried to cover his tracks in the
controversial Revenue Code of the City which is being challenged before the
Department of Justice by complainants Metro Bacolod Chamber of Commerce and
Industry and the Bacolod Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry by
declaring that they will continue to dialogue with the private groups to find
commonality.
Earlier, similar complaint filed by former Rep. Monico Puentevella was thumbed down by Leonardia and city officials as politically-motivated and not worthy of answering.
Opinion: Palm Sunday’s Triumphal Entry Reenacted
Roman Catholic churches celebrate tomorrow Jesus’ triumphal entry into
Jerusalem.
That means there will be palms in the hands of the faithful and children, dressed with scattering flowers to honor Christ.
The parish priest usually also carries a small palm in his hand. This is gaily decorated.
As usual, it will be short-lived jubilation. Because close up is the commemoration of the betrayal of Christ by Judas Iscariot and the Passion, usually a mournful atmosphere that grips that faithful.
Opinion: The Hidden Beauty of Tinagong Dagat
I was surprised by the overhead picture of Tinagong Dagat of Sipalay City
yesterday. But it did not show the hidden beauty of the place which enchanted me
and my family in the past.
The entrance from the sea to the place is framed by what I had dubbed as the Dinosaur head. It is a rocky promoter that is similar to the head of the legendary creature.
Opinion: Is She or is Not She?
Until yesterday, most have remained in wonder whether Grace Ibuna, the
erstwhile partner of the late Ignacio "Iggy" Arroyo of the Fifth District is
going to run or not in the forthcoming election for the latter’s successor.
That is the $64M question. And Grace insists that she isbacking Binalbagan Mayor Alejandro Mirasol for Congressman to succeed Iggy. And she insists that the only reason for that is that she believes the Mirasol is the one she considers willing and able to deliver the unfinished projects of Iggy for his district.
Opinion: An Undeserved Notoriety - Noynoying
President Benigno Aquino III earned worldwide attention by the inclusion of
"Noynoying" in the Wikipedia.
Noynoy’s diehard supporters, that does not really faze them. Instead, they dismissed it was a smear on those using the term to denote alleged or imagine inaction on pressing social issues.
Opinion: Are they Resuming Killing of Mediamen?
One cannot but view with suspicion the recent shooting of the Daily Tribune
Malacañang reporter Fernan Jose Angeles, 42, of Pasig City, who was beaten up
before gunned down several times by a person whom he had identified to his wife.
Opinion: Fabricanians Help Flood Victims
Can you expect former residents of barrio Fabrica in Sagay City not to come to the succor of their fellow victimized by last month’s flood?
Surprise, surprise. Last month, the Fabricanians, headed by President Joy Sato delivered immediately a truckload of foodstuffs to Barangay Paraiso and Fabrica to alleviate the plight of the victims of the flood that devastated several homes including those in Cabanguhan.
