Eduardo Pontaoe 4 Dec 2007 Mr. Oscar Macaraeg: First thing first. Let me roll the red carpet for you in the Forum. I almost called 911 when you tried to wiggle your way out, that PANGALATOK and its clones are not derogatory. To Pangasinenses, is an aberration….

I have not posted anything about “imposing monetary penalty on these derogatory words.” Could you please cite your source/s? The reactivation of PCAC is the governor’s discretion….

The political vultures flying over Batasan By Ermin Garcia Jr. The writing on the wall is there for Speaker Joe de V to see. Without a doubt in anyone’s mind, the Speaker will have to contend with President Arroyo’s wrath from hereon till she gets her pound of flesh awash…
Senator Nene, non-adversarial oppositionist By Gerry Garcia SEEN once as an avid advocate of charter change, PGMA’s unexpected change of mind, i.e., putting cha-cha in the backburner till all requisite tax measures are passed, raised a lot of eyebrows. One of these, ironically, belonged to one of the Opposition leaders…
