                    [Summary] => To find solutions to our ragng national problems, we must first find out what went wrong and what is going wrong in our society. Yesterday, I took up the Economic Intelligence Unit’s assessment that politics and politicians are a major roadblock to our nation’s growth. Today, I focus on another EIU study – that Philippine education has not kept pace with the times.

Is it possible that he committed a crime? That is the simple question that the justices are going to evaluate, based on the evidence presented by the Ombudsman.

To avoid being put behind bars, even for a brief moment, ousted President Joseph Estrada posted bail before the Sandiganbayan before the close of office hours last Monday, April 16.

Erap’s problems begin when the Sandiganbayan acts on the plunder cases against him. Here, the offense is unbailable.

How would the counting of votes be done, without emergency generators or a lot of candles at hand? And how would the certificates of canvass be prepared, without any lights to illuminate the place?

It is strange that the Commission on Elections has not reacted to the power blackout last Saturday.

Borjal [Summary] => There are signs certain senatorial candidates of the People Power Coalition, who are at present outside the winning circle, are surging nearer to No. 13. They include Wigberto "Bobby" Tañada, Ernesto "Boy" Herrera, and Solita "Winnie" Monsod. One recent survey even showed that Herrera was already within the Magic 13, because of the labor vote and the heavy Cebuano vote. On the other hand, the solid vote that Tañada is expected to muster from the Southern Tagalog region could push him eventually into the winner’s circle.
