NO journalist in his right mind would be happy to learn that a colleague has been convicted “with finality” by the Supreme Court for libel even if in many cases we disagreed with the convicted colleague’s views.

AT the rate the Panay Electric Company (PECO) is being bamboozled by its adversaries from pillar to post these past weeks, we won’t be surprised if even the lizards and mosquitoes will soon mount a rebellion against the controversial power firm in Iloilo City and claim victory.

THE late billionaire John Gokongwei Jr. must have loved Iloilo so much that he built three Robinsons Place malls in that part of the country, among his other businesses in Western Visayas.

WE sympathize with Iloilo City Hall regular employee Rosita Camacho and other alleged victims of persecution under the Treñas administration.

IF the Duterte administration will cancel the much-ballyhooed Iloilo-Guimaras-Negros Bridge Project estimated to be worth US $1 billion, it will be tantamount to canceling the dreams and aspirations of the entire Western Visayas altogether.
