It's the second day of January 2015 and let's start this year with very important lessons that hopefully our readers would end up realizing that they should never, never accept the status quo and find ways to change things in this New Year 2015.

                    [Summary] => 
This is our first column for the Year 2015 and before I wrote this piece, I re-read all my previous New Year’s columns in the last five years and come to think of it, those first columns for the New Year sounded very much the same… as if time stood still! In my 2012 column, I quoted a letter from Mr. Joe Nacilla and let me reprint that portion that he wrote.

Three years into his Presidency, if only President Benigno “P-Noy” Aquino III stayed on a true, straight and right path to progress I would have waited until he made his State of the Nation Address (SONA) to write my comments about his “Mid-Term” report. But what’s the point in waiting for the President’s SONA when the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) already gave the President a failing grade?
