“We are looking at our first case of political necrophilia, because this administration seems to be hell-bent on messing around with a rotting corpse of an issue,” former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Lorenzo “Erin” Tañada said when asked for his thoughts on the issuance of the warrant of arrest by a Makati […]
We view with great alarm the threat against the life of Fr. Amado Picardal. We call on credible authorities to ensure the safety of the Redemptorist priest and investigate the matter. The motive of those attempting to kill him was clear. He has been an outspoken critic of extrajudicial killings in Davao City when President […]

Do our elections, aimed as an exercise of our political and economic freedom, offer us choices with substance rather than swagger? Does our educational system take us to the path of liberation from ignorance? Can we […]
Sa halip na gumawa ng paraan para maprotektahan ang ating mga mangingisda, matamlay na naman ang posisyon ng administrasyong Duterte ukol sa panggigipit at pagnanakaw ng Chinese coast guard. Ang malala pa rito, tila ginagamit ang makinarya ng gobyerno sa mga bayarang Internet troll laban sa mga kaawa-awang mangingisda ng Zambales, na nagdaan sa isang […]
