Boying Remulla: Man of the hour (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are moments in the life of a nation when one public official suddenly carries an extraordinary weight of expectation. Today, as Filipinos demand answers over the flood control scandal and other alleged abuses of public funds, that official is Ombudsman Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla. He is, without question, the man of the hour. The public is angry, and understandably so. Every peso stolen from a flood control project is not merely an accounting irregularity. It can mean a family trapped i
Remembering 9/11: We must stand together (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are moments in history that we never forget. Sept. 11, 2001, is one of them.

Hundreds have been reported dead, with many more missing as rescuers confront broken roads, unstable slopes and the threat of further flooding. For Filipinos, the disaster should not be treated as a distant tragedy in a faraway mountain range – it is a warning. Scientists ar
Rain, rain go away – but the flood control scandal will never go away (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Rain, rain go away, come again another day.” This is a nursery rhyme we learned as children. But for millions of Filipinos today, particularly those living in Metro Manila and other flood-prone communities, there is nothing amusing about seeing dark clouds gather. The rains have again brought flooded streets, monstrous traffic jams, stranded commuters, damaged homes and businesses forced to close. Certainly, climate change has a great deal to do with increasingly intense and unpredictable weath
