Ed Pontaoe 12 Mar 2008 Watching the abundance of defensive and illogical mechanisms applied by Mr. Oriel in his futile efforts to justify himself is an affront. And the constant efforts of Ms. Ric’s, Mr. Carrera’s and Mr. Ceralde’s to goad him into accepting the truth falls into deaf…

Where’s the ”maze of underwater bridges”?
Rafael L. Oriel, Jr. 11 Mar 2008 At last, somebody had said it in the forum, “A prosperous country is built by the contributions of its people.” Is our beloved country prosperous? Why and why not? What have we contributed so far in the building of our beloved…
