Mayweather runs again By Jesus A. Garcia Jr. TWO weeks had already passed and the PacMay (Pacquiao-Mayweather) brouhaha over the colossal battle has died down. From barbers to jeepney and tricycle drivers that I had talked to, they still insist that our boxing icon clearly won the fight. Everyone said…
Inexplicit subjects By Johanne Margarette R. Macob ONE intelligent man once told me to be more precise with what I say and write in this corner. That I should stop being philosophical. That I should always be practical. That I should write and speak in a direct manner. Considering the…

HUBRIS OR PLAIN OVER-SENSITIVE? An elected official thinks being elected should immune him from criticisms. He thinks no one should dare attack him. All he wants is alleluia. He thinks everyone should agree with what he does. He detests criticisms levelled against him and his administration. He likes to brag…

He personifies everything heroic about us—from Lapu-Lapu to Dagohoy, from Soliman to Silang, from Bonifacio to Ninoy. Most important, Pacquiao represents the Filipino, the proudest race…

Lousy, dull and boring By Jesus A. Garcia Jr. WE saw how our national treasure in boxing Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao lost his WBO welterweight belt to the haughty American pug Floyd “Money” Mayweather via unanimous decision last Sunday.
