                    [Summary] => Last October 28, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo appointed former Senator Heherson Alvarez as her presidential adviser on land reform. Alvarez is an excellent choice for that position. "I’m happy," he said, "that the President has given her full trust and confidence in me, especially that of a post closest to my heart." In our opinion, GMA could not have picked a better person for the post. Alvarez was one of the main authors of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law, so what he will be doing in his new position is to implement the law he authored.

                    [Summary] => The most remarkable thing about Filipino playwriting in the mid-sixties was its perennially nascent state: Philippine drama always seemed on the verge of being born for the last 30 years or so. The published works – these were in English – hardly progressed beyond one-act plays usually written by authors with little or no actual involvement in theater.

                    [Summary] => The most remarkable thing about Filipino playwriting in the mid-sixties was its perennially nascent state: Philippine drama always seemed on the verge of being born for the last 30 years or so. The published works – these were in English – hardly progressed beyond one-act plays usually written by authors with little or no actual involvement in theater.
