The Philippines needs a new national obsession (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Our country is poor not because Filipinos lack ambition. We are held back because too much of our energy is consumed by politics – and too little by the hard, unglamorous work of building a modern economy. We endlessly argue about politicians, personalities, factions, scandals and elections. We dissect every statement. We fight over every appointment. We speculate about who will run in 2028 and who will support whom. And while we are preoccupied debating who should control the country, we are no
We drown in politics, while poverty devours our future (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While our politicians battle for power, millions of Filipinos are struggling to simply survive. This is the dark truth that we should confront.

The next big disaster is inevitable; being unprepared is not (opens the original)
Read excerpt
No nation can choose its geography, but every nation can choose its level of preparedness. The Philippines lives with a certainty that many countries do not. Someday, a powerful earthquake will strike. Another super typhoon will make landfall. A volcano will erupt. Massive floods and landslides will once again test our communities.
