Impossible Dream: GMA Quits 9/3/2008 9:00 AM ET
NEW YORK, Sept. 3 (PinoyGlobal) -Since 1993, 10 prime ministers of
Japan have resigned without being pushed between the wall and the
sword by the aggrieved citizens. Motto propio they did it giving premium
to national welfare before personal and or political interest. The latest is
Yasuo Fukuda who is barely a year in office. He resigned a few days ago.
I might say he followed the example of his predecessor Shinzo Abe who
was only one year prime minister when he stepped down after feeling
inadequate to the daily challenges besetting his high office. [DETAILS]

Come Dream With Me 9/4/2008 1:00 PM ET
NEW YORK, N.Y., Sept. 4 (PinoyGlobal) - The rebellion in Mindanao is a
social problem and can only be solved if the government does its
homework. Surrendering the northern portion of that island to the
Muslims as Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo suggests, is dismembering the
Philippines. It would actually shrink the country and for what when the
Muslims are not even satisfied as seen by the war they have been
waging against the government these past months. That solution is
unwise, impractical and would further divide the nation because if it is
done the sequestered part of Mindanao will be a separate country with
every right to defy the Philippine government for real and or imaginary
reason/s.. [DETAILS]

Who Can We Turn To? 9/15/2008 11:00 AM ET
NEW YORK, Sept. 15 (PinoyGlobal) - My late father, who was a legal
luminary when the law profession was a respected institution and
shysters, pettifoggers and ambulance chasers were unheard of, used to
tell me public officials are honorable people and that the primary
function of government is to protect the citizenry. I never dreamed of the
day when I will see my beloved father’s doctrine shattered by a
generation of scalawags with official trappings. But to my utter dismay
that bitter day has come, albeit to put things in their right perspective.

Gloria’s ascension to the mystical throne has become a probability. The
loaded resolution would obviate the rigamarole of endless electoral
processes by crowning Madam Arroyo queen for life, no questions ask.
