IT’S so disturbing to hear public officials quarreling in public because of some impasse concerning coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

IN April this year, or a month after the Philippines started to absorb the initial blows of COVID-19 pandemic, we wrote that proponents of the Panay-Guimaras-Negros (PGN) Island Bridges Project “should not sacrifice” the P275 billion project under the Duterte administration’s Build, Build, Build program “no matter what happens.”

ONE of the most heart-piercing and scintillating declarations made by a media practitioner on the ABS-CBN issue was issued recently by Iloilo broadcast journalist Novie Guazo.

FOR the first time since after the May 13, 2019 elections, the Iloilo City council or the Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP), will finally hog headlines when the inquiry on the frequent power blackouts that hit Iloilo City these past months will unfurl in the SP committee on public utilities on June 30, 2020.

THE exact date when Top Rank CEO Bob Arum first endorsed Sen. Manny Pacquiao to run for Philippine president was on December 4, 2008, during our press conference at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
