HIV/AIDS Epidemic in the Philippines?!?

A century ago, no one would have thought it possible.

Loopholes in the Constitution

Martial Law has been declared. Erap has been allowed to run for re-election. And in both accounts there have been serious questions as to who interpreted the constitution correctly.

GMA to replicate kariton classrooms – what was she thinking?

I wonder what GMA meant when she said she wanted to replicate the kariton classrooms initiated by Efren Peñaflorida.

Aftermath

  I can hardly believe that the sun is already out and shining. After a really stormy night which rendered a lot of streets non-passable in Naga City thus prompting the company to postpone our training for the night, one could hardly expect the sun to shine the morning after. But it did and everyone is [ READ MORE ]

too much devastation…and it may not be over yet

I felt the rage of Ondoy’s devastation because I lacked Internet connection. For me, that was the extent of the damage the typhoon caused – I was disconnected from the world.
