By Rex Catubig IT’S a morality tale for all time. And it runs the length and breadth of the years—from the bible story of Judas losing his mind and killing himself, to the Greek dramaturgy of antiquities, on towards unraveling history and the present. It’s the same throughout, with…
By Ermin Garcia Jr. THE endorsement of the whole Unliserbisyo team of Belen Fernandez-Bryan Kua by the Iglesia ni Cristo must have come as a big shock to the LIFE barkada and mother-son team of Celia and Brian Lim. It will be recalled that son Brian arrogantly warned of…
