    Reclaiming our national soul (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    For too long, our nation has been trapped in a false dichotomy. We are told we must choose between the past and progress, between history and development. But review the figures. Manila, founded over 450 years ago on June 24, 1571, spans 897 barangays across 100 zones and 16 administrative districts clustered into six congressional districts. In the Sustainable Cities Index, Manila ranked a sobering 93rd out of 100 cities surveyed, placing 97th in People, 83rd in Planet and 89th in Profit. Too m

    Less waste, fewer floods, more energy (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    When Metro Manila floods, we often look up and blame the rain. But sometimes, we should look down. On Aug. 17, 2026, Metro Manila received a warning written in millimeters: 201.7 millimeters of rain in just five hours. That single figure captured the growing intensity of rainfall confronting our communities. But rainfall alone does not explain why streets become rivers so quickly.

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    We stand at the threshold of a new era. For decades, we have been called the “back office of the world,” providing the labor that powers the dreams of others while our own industrial potential lay dormant. But the wind is shifting. Today, I champion a future where we are no longer just the hands of the global economy, but its very thinking mind. That future begins with the Pax Silica Initiative. Launched by the United States Department of State in December 2025, the Pax Silica is a strategic coa

    Every State of the Nation Address begins with a speech. But long before the President steps onto the podium, the nation has already spoken. It speaks through the price of diesel at the pump. Through the harvest lost to another storm. Through the mother deciding whether today’s budget goes to rice or transportation. Through the fisherman wondering if he can still afford to sail tomorrow. As President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. prepares to deliver his fifth SONA on Monday, the atmosphere is described

    Roadmap to greatness (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Tears, goosebumps and shrieks of joy erupted across the Philippines as 21-year-old Alex Eala defeated defending champion and world No. 3, Iga Swiatek, on the grass of Center Court. It was a historic moment, propelling her to the fourth round of Wimbledon. But as we basked in the glow of this gleam of hope, we were confronted with a sobering reality: excellence in global sports is a high-stakes game, and currently, the Philippines is playing with loose change.
