Jose Rizal was a “millennial” of his time. He was 25 when he published Noli Me Tangere, a novel that described the ills for the cancerous colonial Philippine society toward the end of the 19th century. He was 30 when he published El Filibusterismo, the follow-up to his first novel that prescribed societal cures. Even […]
Ang Pasko ay isang pagkakataon para makasama ang mga mahal sa buhay: panahon para magsama-sama at magkumustahan ang mga mag-anak na matagal nang hindi nakakapiling; panahon para magdiwang kasama ang pamilya at malalapit na kaibigan, at makapagtagay para sa taon-taon pang samahan.

The Liberal Party of the Philippines grieves the death of Dr. Surin Pitsuwan, a respected democracy champion in the region.

We mark the 154th birth anniversary of Andres Bonifacio, one of the country’s most revered freedom fighters, against the backdrop of talks of a revolutionary government under this administration. Such talks or threats by top government officials cheapen the gallantry and sacrifices of our heroes, who have fought for self-determination and social order, freedom and […]
