Call Center Agents: New Target for AIDS/HIV?

In the past, HIV/AIDS has been confined to sex workers, drug addicts and gays. That is no longer true today. Recent hospital reports show that the surge in HIV/AIDS cases in the past 10 months included reports from young professionals, notably call center agents.

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. In response to the Maguindanao massacre and the government’s difficulty in arresting everyone charged, GMA declared martial law in Maguindanao with the reason citing rebellion as the [ READ MORE ]

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. I mean, does she not recognize that the reason why these kind of classrooms existed in the first place was because of the inability of the government to provide adequate educational facilities for its constituents? Does [ READ MORE ]

pride turned to shame

  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 ]

Reading people’s wall post in Facebook and other’s personal blog entries, I see the reality of the devastation Ondoy has wrought our country, particularly Manila and it’s adjoining places. The calls for volunteers, the postings of where relief points are located, the desperate posts attempting to locate missing loved ones and the personal narratives of [ READ MORE ]

bagyo. baha. first time?

Buti may internet na. Akala ko matatapos ang dalawang araw na day-off ko ng di man lang ako nakakagamit ng Internet. Nasira na mga halaman ko sa Farmville dahil na-miss ko ang harvest time ko. Nilalangaw na sa dumi ang pet ko sa Pet Society dahil nakalimutan ko syang paliguan. At sangkaterba na ulit ang [ READ MORE ]

Is Sex Still Taboo in the Philippines?

  This, by far, may be the only post in this blog that would discuss anything remotely related with sex – my observations and opinions of it. Unfortunately, it will not digress to my experiences of the matter as I have little or no experience of it at all. What I do know about sex is [ READ MORE ]

Although truth be told, it hasn't been a year since it was made public here in Wordpress. For about 4 years it was a lonesome and private blog in Blogger.
