A/H1N1, otherwise know as the “swine flu”, has caught the world holding its breath for fear of it breathing a lungful of contaminated air. With a current casualty rating of 151 deaths, thousands of sick and infected persons, and stopping an entire metropolis in its tracks, A/H1N1 can no longer be ignored by the international [...]
Congratulations to the newlyweds Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo. After years of being in a relationship with each other, the two have finally tied the knot on April 28, 2009. For such a high profile couple, the wedding was surprising in that the details were kept secret. Most of the 80 to 100 guests [...]
Some psycho killed a cat in UP. Let me correct that statement, psychopaths supposedly don’t know the difference between right or wrong. His blog post of the event (now made private but is thankfully saved in its original form here) shows that he does know the difference between right and wrong. The murderer is identified [...]
I just read this from The Wichita Eagle. Geoffrey Stanford, East Junior High student, encounters an error in a state writing test. Instead of saying, “the emission of greenhouse gases,” the test had a question that said, “the omission of greenhouse gas.” So he informs his English teacher Jennifer Fry, who int turn informed the [...]
Amid rumored MILF attacks and after the panic last night, Iligan seemed normal today. I was expecting a subdued air, and perhaps see a little Christian vs. Muslim animosity, but nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary, at least on the outside. I’m not so sure about what is going inside of the people’s [...]
This is a word of advice to the President of the Philippines. Madam, If you want to reclaim the support of Mindanao residents, please wipe out the MILF rebels. Declare their group as a terrorist organization, and refuse dialog with them. The people here are talking of the “good old days of Erap” when he [...]
Last I heard, 4 bombs have just exploded in Iligan. The first one blew up this afternoon on 5:45 pm. It was followed by 3 more as of 8pm. People here, however, are not that surprised. Text messages warning Muslims from visiting certain places had been circulating since about 2 weeks ago. Somehow these messages [...]
So the Supreme Court issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against the supposed signing of the government vs. MILF rebel Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that would give legitimacy to a new state called the Bangsamoro Juridical Entity (BJE). Strangely, the MILF website apparently knew of the decision beforehand because it suddenly showed that the signing [...]
We have been sold to rebels! Secretly, the President brokered a deal with Muslim rebels and has granted them land. The deals were so secret that I’ve just heard that 3 barangays in my city, and about 3 municipalities in my province have been included in the deal. Yet those are only small cuts of [...]
Photo of a tartanilla* dressed up with national colors. I’m a few days overdue, but considering what our President has done to mangle up our calendar, I guess my greeting of a Happy Independence Day would still be appropriate for now, or not. I’m not a political activist. I’m not even close as a nationalist. [...]
