Our children, gun control and social media access (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Three school shootings in three months. Six students dead. Many wounded. Families destroyed. The Philippines has crossed a threshold and we simply cannot keep treating each attack as an isolated case. On June 22, two students opened fire inside San Jose National High School in Tacloban. Three students were killed while many others were wounded. On Aug. 18, a student at Ateneo de Zamboanga shot a schoolmate dead, livestreamed the attack and took his own life. Then, on Sept. 18, came Banga Nationa
Pax Silica: Debunking the myths (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week’s Luzon Economic Corridor Investment Forum served as the ceremonial launch of Pax Silica in the Philippines.

Marcos governs like a dictator’s entitled son who mistakes promises and propaganda for governance. Typical of a prince who has built nothing enduring on his own. Aquino strengthened the economy through reform, prudence and institutional discip
BBM, don’t take us for fools (opens the original)
Read excerpt
President Bongbong Marcos wants Filipinos to believe that his family’s fabulous fortune is not ill-gotten. At a Foreign Correspondents Association luncheon, he objected when a reporter described Marcos assets as ill-gotten. His proof? Civil case victories. “The reason we won those civil cases is because they were proven to be not ill-gotten wealth,” he said. Nice try, Mr. President. But do not play us for fools. Marcos is attempting a Donald Trump maneuver. Repeat a lie until sheer frequency mak
