A survey, the anti-subversion law, and a piteous Christmas prelude
It has become a familiar sight, as the holiday season arrives, to see Christmas lights and decors lining up the streets and adorning homes and commercial establishments. However, such beautifications have become scarce with each year that goes by.
The strengthening of the Peso has not at all prevented the spiraling of commodity prices. What with a just concluded transport strike last week which reminds us of the reality of oil price hikes and the inevitability of a minimum fare increase.
Nevertheless, there’s always a reason for everyone to look forward to the Christmas season, as Inquirer’s new feature site, Paskong Pinoy, demonstrates. For bloggers, there’s the Vertito.com’s Christmas Contest. And here in Cebu, we have the Pastores de Naga Christmas Festival.
But then, I will not go into that for indeed, a lot more has transpired since the start of December. And it’s a pity these “matters†are now serving as our prelude to Christmas.
