The Luckiest B*tch Around
After EDSA 2, we were out of the frying pan. But now, we’re burning after jumping right into the fire. Worse, the government has transfigured into a fiery hell steered by no less than, in the words of Albay Governor Salceda, “the luckiest b*tch around”. And although Salceda’s tongue may soon have a full meal of the rantings of “the luckiest b*tch around”, it is most likely that she must have really been lucky. After all, how lucky can one be after shunning two impeachment complaints and derailing a couple of coup attempts? To say the least, the lapdogs of the queen have barked relentlessly against its detractors, quite apart from personifying the essence of a canine which is, in its most grotesque form, commendable for a bone.
Unfortunately, GMA’s case is not the workings of a divine intervention, nor can she bargain to the heavens for one. The queen’s closest source of a ‘divine intervention’ is already dead. Which goes without saying that the death of Cardinal Sin, the prime herald of two People Power revolutions, may have dragged the spirit of EDSA with it. Which also goes without saying that the clutter of priests fueling the moral foundations of this country has gone haywire over matters of national spirit and interest, killing the spirit of EDSA all the more. By all means, the term ‘divine intervention’ is nowhere in the directories or yellow pages of the Palace. And although the administration has once eyed proposals for better communications among the nation’s public offices through a National Broadband Network, you still cannot expect a b*tch to dial God’s number. In fact, you only expect a female dog barking at a ComElec commissioner at the other end of the line spitting the infamous phrase “hello, Garci?”

Laos and Brunei Ratifies the Asean Charter
The number of Asean countries ratifying the 1st Asean Constitution is growing and hopes are very high that the Asean Charter will be ratified by all countries months before this year’s ASEAN Summit.
Four out of ten countries of ASEAN ratified the 1st Asean Charter, the latest Laos and Brunei with the latter having ratified and submitted the “instrument of ratification” last February 15 before Malaysia.
Six more countries are still to ratify the Asean Charter namely – Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam. All six countries have until early December to ratify the Asean Charter before the next ASEAN Summit starts.
Looking Back at People Power 2, isn’t worth it?
Katulad ng sinabi ni CBCP President Angel Lagdameo, nakakadismaya kung muli nating aalalahanin kung ano ang nangyari sa People Power 2. Marahil dahil na rin sa mga nangyayaring ganito mula sa issue ng corruption sa gobyerno, mga red tape at mga di mapaliwanag na bayaran at suhulan sa mga kontrata ng mga transaction sa ibang bansa at pati dito sa atin. Kung iisipin natin nauulit na naman ang noong akala natin ay naputol na at nasugpong kultura ng katiwalian sa ating pamahalaan.
