                    [Summary] => 
In a small village in Southern Leyte, several hours away from Tacloban, children are one with the sea. Equipped with homemade goggles crafted from discarded glass and spare wood, they dive and search in between rocks and corals. It doesn’t take long for them to find their prize: swaki, a type of colorful sea-urchin with pin-like spines that can be held by delicate hands without risk of injury.

                    [Summary] => No matter how much the government – and even the eminent faculty members of the UP School of Economics – talk about the perils of the country’s high level of debt and unmanageable budget deficit, we may not be able to get out of the rut unless drastic measures are seriously undertaken soon.

                    [Summary] => The urong-sulong hesitation of government to tax text messages reflects on its desperation to look for ways and means of increasing state revenue collections but at the same time being wary and sensitive to the backlash of protests from millions of Filipino "texters."


When the proposal was floated again last week (after several months of hiatus in deference to the election campaign), the reaction of 25 million Filipino cellular phone subscribers as gleaned from their text messages was enough to indicate the measure’s unpopularity.

Two months ago, we asked what people felt should be the new government’s agenda. The problem of peace and order, corruption in government, the deteriorating productivity and competitiveness of local industries, and the country’s fiscal and debt problems were among those enumerated.

Relatives of missing passengers were appalled at the very slow response of the Philippine Coast Guard Authority (PCGA) and the reluctant logistics assistance of the Aboitiz controlled WG&A, owner of the ill-starred vessel.

It was not something expected in November, traditionally being one of the stronger export months ahead of the Christmas season.

Relatives of missing passengers were appalled at the very slow response of the Philippine Coast Guard Authority (PCGA) and the reluctant logistics assistance of the Aboitiz controlled WG&A, owner of the ill-starred vessel.

It was not something expected in November, traditionally being one of the stronger export months ahead of the Christmas season.
