                    [Summary] => As the front-page news item of The Philippine STAR last Friday said, "It’s final: No unity in opposition." Actor Fernando Poe Jr. (FPJ) and Sen. Panfilo "Ping" Lacson are going to continue with their separate campaigns, with Ping having the last say that there is a possibility that FPJ might accept a last-ditch effort to be his vice presidential candidate. At this point in the game with barely a week to go in the presidential race, the public cannot expect any more unity efforts from both camps.

The latest SWS survey shows the two frontrunners in dead heat. Actor Fernando Poe Jr. registered a 32.0 percent voter preference rating while incumbent President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo polled 31.4 percent. The 0.6 percent margin is statistically insignificant given that the survey instrument has a 2.2 percent margin of error.

                    [Summary] => 
The first Christmas happened without fanfare, feasting, music, foods, wines or glittering electric lights, but in a humble manger, was born Jesus Christ, God’s ultimate gift of love to save mankind. No exchange of gifts occurred. Faith and hope and love are the world’s best gifts.They cannot be bought, sold or bartered. They can only be given away. Christmas celebrations can be truly meaningful, if they can translate the heart’s intention–that yearning of the human spirit to express faith, hope and love.

                    [Summary] => 
The first Christmas happened without fanfare, feasting, music, foods, wines or glittering electric lights, but in a humble manger, was born Jesus Christ, God’s ultimate gift of love to save mankind. No exchange of gifts occurred. Faith and hope and love are the world’s best gifts.They cannot be bought, sold or bartered. They can only be given away. Christmas celebrations can be truly meaningful, if they can translate the heart’s intention–that yearning of the human spirit to express faith, hope and love.
