Monsters

Yesterday, I got to talk with a kababayan from my hometown, a local journalist who’s a cousin of our First Sergeant. Upon talking to him, I found out that his purpose of getting to Manila was to stay away from the prying eyes of some local politicians who wanted him dead. He’s also supposedly to [...]

The Old Toad

The office atmosphere has never been this glum before the ascent of that new commanding general. Everwhere inside the camp, I hear people are talking about reorganizations, reassignments, and possible field deployments. Personnel and commanders who are staying for more than five/three years in the garrison are ordered to be relieved from their current positions and be assigned elsewhere.

Puwedeng may verbal agreement, puwedeng wala.

Walang pormal na ligawan [...]

A media for the terrorists

Give me some air or I’ll be hyperventilating to death…
I read this petition from our batch’s mailing list. And then I searched for related “stories” from INQ7.net and the other journalist-petitioners’ sites. My initial reaction was WTF? Why do media people always see the military as “freedom’s” antagonists?
I traced the press release back on 04 [...]

FPJ’s dead, what’s next?

FPJ is dead. It’s the next big news after the destruction brought by the typhoons. So? If he won during the presidential elections, Loren, Sotto and Angara could be jumping for joy. I’m from the “government’s side of the force” and I heard Loren is a supporter of the red wing. JOMA could’ve been happier [...]
